doesn't want to get acquainted with NPCs. He thinks they should find Korea. That guy played a lot of games like this. He would be useful,

China would just have to give Korea a little love that was all that would be required.

refuses "Is Korea even in this game, aru?" He would prefer to not come across Korea and have him do...things to him!

pretty sure Korea should be around. "He likes playing games like this. He actually has made quite a few himself. I would be more surprised

if he was not around."

sighs. Going by that logic, it would probably be inevitable for them to come across Korea.

they may as well look for him. Chances are they would end up with him anyway. "It won't be so bad. This is a game. He may remained focused

on that fact."

nods. He walks into the nearest town, looking around to find any sign of the hyper nation.

follows along after China. Well he won't do much looking. This place was rather drab and rather depressing. Korea was not here. "You think

he would really hang around a place like this?"

not, but to be honest, he wasn't putting much effort into the search.

realized that but he merely thought to ask. "Wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow contact him?"

"Probably" But only in this world. Imagine how much he has to suffer through if Korea could contact him anytime!

sure Korea can easily contact him in the real world. Must better than in this game actually. "We can ask for him at the inns and shops.

Maybe?"

"Probably" He enters one of the weapon shops and rings the bell on the counter.

stands behind him because he is just an assistance. "Lets hope this works and they simply don't try to sell things to you."

"Every RPG game has stores where you can sell things, aru!" Maybe he had spent too much time watching Korea play...

knows this so he kind of stares at China. He only mentioned it because some games the merchant NPCs only were there to sell things.

watches as the store owner comes to the counter. "I would like to sell this, aru!"

going to let China proceed with is transactions. He had to check if he had enough equipment.

watches as the store owner examines the sword. When the store owner told him that it was too rare to be sold, he gasped. "If it's rare,_

it should be expensive right?" "I can't determine the price" "Hmph. fine, aru..." he grumbled and placed the sword back into his bag.

guessed they would have to trade it with another player in the game or maybe there were certain NPCs looking for this item. "It is fine

teacher. This means we can probably get a better deal than what we originally thought. Let's restock on items and leave."

"You're probably right aru.." He hated those 'quests' or whatever they were called. Even the guide book doesn't specify conditions for those

did not mind them. They kept him a bit busy and sometimes they gave experience as a reward. He is restocking on items now. "Potions are kind

of cheap here."

"They are, aru" He still does not want to waste too much money though...

finds that he needs them otherwise he would not even glance at them. "Well I have enough now. Shall we continue to search?"

nods. "Do you want me to carry them, aru?" he says, pointing to the potions.

"I have a pack to keep them in. Unless you want to that is. I won't be terribly upset if you carry them." That would certainly mean less

work for him.

He takes two of the potions and places them in his bag. "Do you want me to carry more? I have a lot of room, aru"

puts aside a few more potions. "Why don't you carry half of them. Just in case."

just how many potions Daniel bought.

merely bought a dozen. He might as well stock up. That way he doesn't have to go and find shops so often.

"What do you need that many potions for?"

thought it was obvious. "They are cheap so it is good to buy now and I won't have to visit a shop for a while."

"What do they even do?" Was there a point of buying potions to begin with if you're never going to use them? Even if they were on sale?

thought it was obvious. "These are MP potions. I thought you knew."

looks at them closely. "Oh, oh right!" He laughed sheepishly. "Of course, i don't really need these, but I guess you do, aru..."

"Yeah. There is a drawback to everything. For me is relying on these but what can I do." He now looks over some other items but he shakes

his head. "We should get going.

"We should." He leaves the store, waving bye to the owner as he did so.

waves bye as well. "Perhaps we can find a message board and leave a note for Korea?"

"Like that?" he says, pointing to the bulletin board in the middle of town.

sees it and thinks. "Maybe telling him to get himself in gear and that he should find a way out of the game?"

walks up to the bulletin board. He looks at it. "Should we just...scrawl a message, aru?"

follows him towards it. "I would think so. I mean it is here for that. Right?"

found a pen hanging by the bulletin board and writes down "To Korea: China and Hong Kong was here! Look for us!" He tried to make it_

obvious but it was kind of hard because of all the pointless love and hate notes that was graffitied everywhere.

looks over at what China wrote and shakes his head. "Let's be less original." He crosses some things out and adds a few more things. Now

their message reads, 'China and Hong Kong are the best. Korea is an idiot.' He sets the pen down. "That should make him hurry along."

reads over the message. "That's kind of rude, aru..." But he decided to keep the message anyway; it would make Korea hurry up.

looks it over. "You are right." He picks up the pen again and draws a kitty near the message. "There. That is better." Once again the pen is

set down. "We can try the next town."

stares at the kitty. It was kind of cute... He shook his head to get back to the task on hand and nods. "Yes, do you have a map?"

made it look cute on purpose. It was suppose to take away from the rudeness but he thought Korea would get the message. It was a joke that

came from watching shows for children. "I do have one." He takes off his pack and begins looking through it. "Here." He hands over the world

map to China. "You didn't get one?"

shook his head. Maybe only certain nations got one, to encourage them to travel together or something.

wouldn't know. He simply got this map from some dude's sister or something like that. He peers at the map as China holds it. "So where to

teacher?"
