Dreamland mmorpg: Rising

Chapter 37: Mellorine and friend menu.

Blaft is busy preparing all for the new update. Lv 60 cap rise and the implementation of the friend system. Since the beta it had several troubles. The contact friend command had several troubles, like troubles with talking from more than 600 meters. The team that was in charge of that was since beta test working in it and it was supposed to be fixed when dreamland went open, but there was several troubles and Beat decided to keep it closed and hope that no one saw that it wasn't ready. And with the friend messaging system all could work in case of fatal failure. But like always, it also had several troubles like messages that aren't sent exactly well, the same team was in charge of all friend system. Beat decided to keep all as a secret until it was repaired. Last week it was repaired and Beat decided to cover these fails with a lv cap rise and a surprise event. Beat had to ask Mellorine, a super famous idol of net that became famous in an extremely short period of time, to sing in a surprise event. And for asking, we could say that it was exactly paying a lot and begging a lot. But one condition was that a GM had to take care of the event. Beat accepted but he was in deep troubles, Alvyn would do a tea party, Vilge and Minnie better don't even think, Oboro had the reputation of ending drunk at parties and causing a giant mayhem, so best option was Blaft for now. And what a hell of a job poor Blaft had to do, having to talk with True Gold, Duraralt, Black Order and Lion's Heart to prepare the event. And he had to make the warning message of the update this time. Blaft was totally tired. And he didn't knew what was going to happen.

Oboro entered the room.
-Blaft: Oboro! Out. Doing my job.
-Oboro: Really? Now you are being rude.
-Blaft: I'm tired, I want to finish this and sleep.
-Oboro: Oh. You know that I could have taken care of the event.
-Blaft: And!? Beat decided that I should do it! Not my choice.(yawns)
-Oboro: Well, maybe something happens.
-Blaft: Not under my watch.
-Oboro: Well, good luck.
Oboro leaves.
-Blaft: He's planning to crush the party. I'll need help... Wait, Martha is in the city! I don't have to worry! If he tries, I don't think that not even with Minnie at his side will be able to cause troubles.
Blaft keeps doing the update message and finishes it, sends it to the staff team that puts the message.
-Blaft: They'll check if the message is good and edit it if needed. A little rest will do wonders on me. And we have one entire day to prepare all.
Blaft logs out.

Meanwhile, Geralt and Dave are on their way to the castle of the guild. But when they arrive they say all the guild working.
-Crafter 1: Potions! We need potions! Anyone can craft potions!?
-Crafter 2: No! Most of us know a little but nothing at this level!
-Crafter 3: We need more materials! Where are our hunters!?
-Crafter 1: I don't know! Maybe grabbing more materials for the chefs!
-Crafter 3: WE NEED THEM!
-Geralt: Calm down! First, I can handle the potions! Second, Dave can grab some people and go farming more materials! And where are Shade and the others!?
Shade appears but she wears a new armor, it was a black light armor, made of black giant spider silk, which was hard to obtain since you had to tame one of them, it had 220 of def. Later it gave silk and could be used as a mount. It was tight and well it wasn't revealing but also it didn't leave a lot to imagination. Or is what you could think. But behind the silk there was an entire line of extra armor pieces made of black dragon scales that after being used by Shade it became close-fitting to Shade's body but since it was cold, Duraralt put another line but this one of fire dragon skin. That way, Shade didn't felt cold in any situation. The armor had some great upgrades, 20% Attack speed, 100% resistance against ice and water spells and 30% of DEX. Also Shade had a new blade, a Shirasaya to be exact, it had a wooden sheath and a wooden handle. It had atk 50, a 30% of extra damage when the enemy is bleeding, 30% of critical rate and 40% of DEX. And that wasn't all. Also in case of need, Shade had also a tanto that could be hidden in the armor. A deathly surprise because the sheath had poison inside. The tanto only had a penetrating chance of 100% and only 7 of atk. But the poison could kill any player in half an hour and paralyse him/her in matter of seconds, a sure death poison. Duraralt made it in order that if someone tried to do something wrong to Shade, he/she would regret even thinking in doing nothing. Geralt blushes.
-Shade: (Smiles) Hi Geralt! You like this armor?
-Geralt: Yeah... It truly fits you.
-Shade: I'm going to grab more herbs to make potions. I'll be back in a moment.
-Crafter 1: We already have enough.
-Geralt: How much?
-Crafter 1: 10 kg.
-Geralt: And all the herbs are the same?
-Crafter: Yes. Regenerative herbs.
-Geralt: Shade, grab for me red flowers that are in the river near the castle and blue flowers that are in the forest area. 10kg each. I need them to make potions. Thanks in advance. And I'll have to ask someone to grab more empty bottles.
-Shade: I'll buy them too!
-Geralt: Okay. When you grab the flowers bring them to me and then you and Dave go with a carriage to grab empty bottles.
-Shade: Understood!
Shade leaves.
-Geralt: Dave, go...
Then a giant dragon comes carrying a package, it had a message. It said: Duraralt, you asked me, so I grabbed around 20 tons of iron and 10 tons of elf silver and sent them to you. All for you, Darling! Minnie.
-Geralt: Darling? Really? Dave, go to grab more leather. Lots more and meanwhile if you grab meat better!
Duraralt gets out of the castle and sees the dragon.
-Duraralt: I only asked 1 ton of elf silver... Better for us... But Minnie... (faints)
-Geralt: Perfect. Our best crafter is down.

Meanwhile, in the desert area. A tall girl with blue eyes, blue long hair that wears a white leather dress with lots of golden stars and white highheel boots and uses daggers is walking surrounded by bodyguards that used heavy armors and different weapons.
-Guard: Miss. We have been two hours walking, you want us to call for a mount?
-???: And say that we are going? No! I rather prefer that they have a big surprise! In the end is a surprise event!
-Guard: Of course, lady Mellorine.
-Mellorine: And also, I want to catch them not entirely prepared. Let's see if they can do the work well even with surprise!
Mellorine and her bodyguards keep walking.

Mellorine is coming before than expected! And Blaft is sleeping in that moment. Anything can go wrong? Maybe! Wait for the next chapter to know it!
