Chapter 92: Patch Notes 3: Third Time's the Charm

Work in the morning was slow. The firm had finished finalizing most of the contracts for the city, so Dylan found himself with nothing to do. Sure, there were still various small changes to be made here and there, but by and large, the day was moving at a crawl. To pass the time, Dylan spent his morning idly scrolling through the news about World of Supers.

At first, his idle scrolling led him to articles on Vert's partnership with the other game studios. It seemed each studio was working on a VR game using one of their signature titles. Nicrosoft went for Alo, to no one's surprise. That company had been beating that horse before Dylan had been born. Sometimes the studios under the software publisher would breakaway and create new titles loved by millions, but they never got sequels.

Zony had decided to go big and produce two exclusives with VR support. The first was a new Arachnaman game, something that immediately grabbed Dylan's attention. He'd buy that as soon as it came out. It probably wouldn't hit the level of fun he had with the ones as a kid, but as long as he could swing around New York, it didn't matter.

"Maybe I should make a web swinger for Dr. Zlo at some point," He muttered.

"What's up?" his coworker asked.

"Nothing, Samir," Dylan answered. "Looking at the news about Vert partnering with the other game companies."

"Oh yeah?" Samir said.

Dylan turned to face his coworker, "You heard about the VIS, right? The VR system?"

"Can't say I have," Samir answered. "But that reminds me, Dylan. I heard you and Mark got into an argument?"

"I wouldn't call it an argument," Dylan answered. "More like he kept trying to go behind other's backs, and I called him out on it."

"Ah. He's been telling everyone you refuse to work with him anymore."

Dylan snorted, "He needs to get off his high horse."

Samir laughed, his eyes squinting in delight, "Yes, the man acts like a king when he's only a simple farmer."

"Hey now, farmers have important jobs," Dylan joked back.

Samir gave another hearty chuckle, which jiggled the large beard on his face. Dylan couldn't help but think of a middle-eastern Santa Claus. "You're right. He acts more like the court jester."

"Stop making fun of your coworkers, you two," Claire said. "Or I'll have to actually do something about it."

"Yes, boss! Right away, boss!" Samir saluted, earning a smile from Claire.

"One of these days, someone's going to do something about that flippant attitude of yours, Samir."

"I'll tell them I learned it all from the greatest sasser in the world, my coworker Dylan."CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

"Hey, don't drag me into this," Dylan said. "I don't want to have anything to do with your inevitable downfall."

"Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" Samir said.

Claire shook her head, "Don't you guys have work to do?"

"Not at the moment. Since the bulk of the city planning is out of the way, we're only needed for some small changes. Things will be slow until we get something new," Dylan answered.

"Fine then. If you need me, I'll be in my office."

"Will do." Dylan turned back to his computer to look at more articles.

"So, Dylan, what is the VIS?"

"A new VR system by Vert. You put it on, and it links you to a virtual body. You can even play while you sleep."

Samir rolled his chair over, "No way. There has to be a catch."

"Well, it only has one game on it right now. A multiplayer superhero world. But the company announced they were partnering with the big three consoles and were in the works planning more games."

"Wait, Mintendo's making a new game? Which one?"

You may be asking, "what's the point of buying land outside of the city then?" Well, we'll tell you. Land with resources outside the city can be processed and used for materials, making your bases cheaper. There are also unique areas outside of the cities with special materials that can increase the power of your lair. Players looking for their next challenge should head out and search for the next great weapon!

Dylan balked. So far, nothing he read said anything about fixing the infinite money exploit. He needed to reach out to Menagerie.

Opening Netchat, Dylan typed his message into the Menagerie group chat.

Superfan39526:

Just started reading the patch notes.

Anyone else concerned about the new base features?

It was a minute before someone got back to him.

JackOleen:

In what way?

Surfsup26:

Yeah, the base changes look sweet.

Superfan39526:

I agree, but they all require money.

And I remember Jack mentioning players with infinite money powers.

JackOleen:

OH

SHIT

SHIT SHIT

That's bad.

Candequeen:

What's up?

JackOleen:

Vert's base building changes work off money that players can create with powers. It won't matter how much they set the price. People will just use the money power to buy it. We gotta get online asap and squat some places or else we're losing out.

Surfsup26:

Why's this a problem dudes?

We use a flying city.

D.Black:

It says some things have unique resources to upgrade bases

I assume that means Phlebotinium

Which we definitely need
