Chapter 36: Chatting and Contraband

Dylan turned to see a man dressed in monk robes running up to him. By the monk's side stood a woman in similar garb, a large pointy hat with gold trim sat on her head. It was turned ever so slightly to give a lopsided appearance. Behind the two stood muscular teenagers; one in gold spandex, the other in orange.

The four approached Dylan and Surfsup. "You're the one people talked about a few weeks back right? The suited villain?"

Dylan took a second to answer the four. He was torn between answering honestly or roleplaying his secret identity. In the end, it sounded more fun to roleplay. "I am not that marvelous villain Dr. Zlo. No, my name is Eric Vil, a scientist of renown. I am here shopping for normal everyday goods with my friend. But if I was that amazing villain... What do you want?"

The monk turned to the teenager in orange. "Hey Titan look, he's like you."

Titan glared. "Ain't nobody like me but me. And he looks nothing like me. He's obviously a mild-mannered man with a companion who rides a hoverboard."

Dylan opened his mouth to respond but the mage spoke before he could. "Do you take fight requests?"

The question broke Dylan out of his fledgling secret identity. "Sorry?"

"It's like this," The barrier hero started, "a bit ago we ended up facing your minions when they robbed this plaza. Well, I think they're your minions. They looked like the ones you used when you kidnapped the Mayor's Son. We ended up putting the clip of the fight online. The vid ended up getting a ton of views on our channel. So we started going around asking other villains for PVP fights. But none of them have the flair that yours seem to have, comments keep asking for more stuff with you. So we were wondering if you wanted to do some PVP. If you want, we could trade you some in-game cash or tell you where some good secret contacts are."

Surfsup hopped off his rocket board. "Dude, this sounds sweet! We could totally do a 4v4! Our squad vs. yours!"

The mage looked at the two. "So does that mean you'll do it?"

Dylan opened his friends tab, "let me message the others."

Superfan39526:

Hey do you guys want to do a pvp against this team we met just now?

DemarX:

Sure I don't mind

When?

Dream and I are still fixing your base up

Candequeen:

I'm down for it

But I agree we should finish the base

Dylan looked up. "When would you want to do this? Because we still need to fix up our base for the alien invasion."

The monk answered. "We don't mind scheduling it for later. We want you guys to be ready for it anyways. Should make for a cooler fight."

"Oh dude we should totally have it so we try to rob a place and you come and stop us! Like all those old movies!"

The mage looked at Surfsup. "What, like you guys pick a target and we sit around until you come?"

"Yeah dude!"

"That sounds pretty cool," said the golden teen.

"Can we pick where you attack?" Asked the monk.

"We can go over the details later Ram," said the mage. "Add him to your friends list and we'll talk later. I'm sure they don't want to sit around in a parking lot chatting."Rêạd new chapters at novel35.com

The hero Ram responded, "you're right. Add Yuralionfive when you get the chance. Though call me Rampart, or Ram." Rampart pointed to his friends. "That's Oro, Titan, and Merla."

Dylan smiled. "Bet you fifty in-game cash that they shoot you down within a hundred yards."

"Oh dude, you are so on!" The two flew back to the government district. Along the way, Dylan couldn't help but think he was forgetting something. They passed over a billboard showing a rat advertising a bucket of fried chicken.

"Surf!" Dylan shouted. "I forgot to talk to the mice!"

"Mice?" Understanding passed Surfsup's brow. "Oh, dude!"

The two turned to rush back toward the mansion.

While Dylan and Surfsup went to get materials, John and Sweet Dream opened up the base building tab to look at their options.

"Looks like we've got the normal traps like pitfalls and auto-turrets," Sweet Dream said as she scrolled through the list.

"There's the normal CC traps as well, plus a few interesting types." John stopped scrolling to look at a flying drone that dropped Molotovs.

"The minions look interesting too. There's one here that looks like a guy on steroids."

"Does he have stats?" John asked as he looked for the minion tab.

"Yeah. It looks like each has a health bar, stamina or mana, and some type of special ability. Oh and a cost. Ugh."

"What?"

"Most of these require that Alienite stuff. And there's no way to tell which ones need it until you select their box."

John made a face. "Can't developers make a good UI just once? That's all I ask."

Sweet Dream frowned too. "It looks like we won't be able to make the more specialized defenses until we collect some Alienite. We do have enough metal to make some simple gun turrets though."

John scrolled down the minion tab as Sweet Dream talked. "Okay, since we already have cannon fodder minions I think we should specialize. We should only place the generic defenses at choke points. Once Dylan's minions take out a few waves we can get some turrets or gunner minions in the windows. Probably snipers so they can shoot the aliens when the cannon fodder gets in close. We should look to strengthen the walls too. I expect there will be explosives at some point."

"Sounds like a good start. We should also add some sort of anti-air on the roof. And maybe see if we can get some sort of radar and underground scanner."

"Good idea. Do you see if we need power sources for this?"

"Yeah its in the left corner there."

"Huh. Don't know how I missed that."

"And it looks like we can only place a maximum of ten turrets and minions."

"Each or combined?"

"Each."

John looked at the requirements for turrets. From the look of it, all turrets required a power source of some kind. The first power source was free, a small generator with ten outlets. He selected the generator and a holographic image of the machine appeared in front of him. John also noticed an upgrade slot that required alienite.

"This isn't too bad, we can put all of the turrets inside the mansion."

"Sure, but we have a lot of area to cover. Did you see how big your friend's base is?"

"No, how much land do we have?"

"Click over on the base building tab and look at the map."

The indicator for John's friendslist flashed. "Hold up I think Dylan's messaging us."

Apparently, Dylan and Surfsup had found another group of players who were asking for a round of pvp. "What do you think?" John asked Sweet Dream.
