Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Riots

While Luke and Leo played their games in peace, there was a massive riot taking place in sector E that they were completely unaware about.

On the second day of work, the workers’ attendance was much lower than usual with many workers deciding to play Terra Nova and increase their level within the game instead of reporting for work.

Out of the people that did not go to work, less than 0.1% substituted their absence with paying MP as penalty as a majority of sector E workers did not show up to work without caring for the consequences.

What their absence did for the morale of other workers was that it created a chain reaction where the workers that did show up to work felt like they were fools for showing up for work and that they should have been playing the game themselves as well.

By lunchtime, a massive riot broke out as sector E workers refused to return to their duties and rebelled against their supervisors, defying their orders.

It only took two working days for the arc ship’s social hierarchy to crumble as the crabs of sector E that were desperate to improve their standing in society began to rebel against the authority to secure their shot at getting a better life.

Many failed to understand that their evaluation at the end of first week was not going to be purely based on their in-game performance itself and that their real work evaluation was going to factor-in as well and by not going to work and by not listening to their supervisors, many were toying with their own future.

Nonetheless, fresh off of Earth, they did not understand the changed world that they were a part of now and committed crimes enmass believing that their crimes would go unpunished if committed in a herd.

On the arc ship, there was no room for disobedience and there was no mercy for insubordination.

Every word that every individual spoke was monitored and even when crimes were committed in mobs, every criminal was tracked and identified.

About 5 minutes after lunch break, riot police or rather riot control robots took the streets of sector E by storm as martial order was placed and everyone who was defying authority or was taking part in damaging public property, began to be beaten down quite terribly by the robots using batons and the ever so present electrocuting anklets.

Those who missed their roll call and were playing Terra Nova Online on a whim were forcefully logged out and served with a three day gaming ban.

Those who were instigators in this mass riot and took part in convincing others to protest alongside them were given 7-30 days of gaming ban.

While those who slapped or physically assaulted the sector D supervisors were executed publicly in the middle of sector E streets for everyone to watch.

Close to 60% netizens of sector E were slapped with a punishment either small or large as they experienced the true horror of living inside the arc ship where they were powerless against the rules.

This was not earth, a place where if enough of them banded together entire governments could be toppled as within the Arc Ship, the aliens cared for no-one.

One either had to live on the ship by their rules or not live at all as everyone who committed a crime was slapped with a system notification that explained their crime in length and exactly why they were being punished.

It was a horror show, however, if there was one crime that went unpunished even in this mess, it was the crime of hitting a fellow sector E netizen as those who were slapped with penalties never had anything mentioned about hitting or engaging in a physical conflict with other sector E individuals, which meant that the higher ups did not care about how the people treated other people within their same class.

( Meanwhile Leo )

Leo and Lin Mu reached the location of the second testing arena and began taking a look around the place to get a feel of what the test might be?

The second testing arena seemed to be a place where there were lots of obstacles and dark spots that seemed to be optimal for hiding, however, apart from it seeming like a huge obstacle course there wasn’t much else that Leo could figure out from just observing it.

“What do you think Jin? What will the second test be?” Lin Mu asked as Leo shrugged his shoulders and scratched his head.

“I guess we will find out when the Alliance leader tells us. No point in racking our brains over it now” Leo said as he had his signature relaxed attitude which only took life one step at a time.

Compared to him, Lin Mu was much more anxious as she exhausted her brain trying to think of what challenge it could be and how she could establish an advantage for herself, however, no matter how hard she tried she was unable to draw a conclusion.

Finally, as it was time for the second test to start, the alliance leader and the judges walked into the testing arena and behind them were several animal cages containing either a horned rabbit or a tracker dog.

” Alright, it seems like all the candidates that have cleared round one are present for round two, which means we can proceed with the explanation of what this round is going to be” he said as Leo frowned at his words that everyone made it as he was hoping that a few fools lost their way or showed up late leading to their disqualification.

” We will mark all candidates with special scents.

Scents that the tracking dogs have been trained to sniff out, and your task is to evade the tracking dogs within this obstacle course with the passing condition being that you successfully hide from the tracking dogs and still manage to kill at least 3 horned rabbits within 60 minutes time.

Ofcourse, if you wish for extra points, you can kill more horned rabbits, however, be careful that if you are found out by the tracker dogs and they bark at you to reveal your location, you will be eliminated” the alliance leader said as Leo felt intrigued at being introduced at such a unique game of hide and seek.

” There are only enough rabbits for 64 of you to pass to round 3, however, if one of you kills more than three then that number might drop even more” The Alliance leader said as he revealed the information that the supply of rabbits was way less compared to the number of candidates and that if one only kept hiding from the dogs without taking a risk to hunt the rabbits, they would most likely not proceed to round three.

” As assassin’s, we are often required to infiltrate houses or enemy strongholds where we must evade their tracking dogs, a.k.a strong protectors and kill their rabbits, which are targets of our assassination.

This exercise recreates that practical environment in a much more tamed manner and is devised to test your skills in practical situations” The Alliance leader said before flicking his hand as his assistants began walking towards each candidate and spraying them with a certain pungent smell that the dogs were trained to track.
