Chapter 7: The Storm (7)
"Am i being dragged into some illegal ring or something?"
Jeff had doubts on this customer but being a start up Toymaker and all he wouldnt deny this request especially since they added an extra 1k on top of the 2k, anyway he replied to the customer.
[0★]Fun Haus: Okay are you able to wait for 9-10 days? I can start the creation of your ruler type character after i finish the troopers.
[1★]Mattias-Meraccus Productions: I can but i hope you can start the creation earlier than that.
[0★]Fun Haus: If i can finish the troopers earlier than planned then i will prioritize your custom request.
[1★]Mattias-Meraccus Productions: Ill hold your word on that, my lawyer will send you the agreed upon documents that you will be signing later, take some time to read it and then sign.
Jeff expected his first custom to arrive after a year or more but it arrived earlier than expected, after talking with and informing the other clients he then checked on his bank account and the amount made him almost cry.
"Gadam! Big money is good, too bad majority of this will go to materials"
He stared at the whopping amount of 10,010.01 coins in his bank account, He ordered the materials he needed and some were cheaper than anticipated especially pale wood, it was only 100 coins cheapest per 12"x12" planks, the thickness differed the price though, he needed a 6" thick plank that upped the price to 220 coins, he bought 5 planks.
The other materials were cheap, the only expensive on was the anti-beam cloth that started at 1000 coins per meter, it was specialized material after all and it was even considered Mid grade material unlike the Low grade pale wood, he bought 2 meters worth, it was 5 ft wide.
"Phew material expenses really are too high, well atleast i still have about 5k left but thats gonna take a hit with those upcomimg custom figures"
Jeff spent the days relaxing and ended it with a once in a blue moon well timed sleep, the materials arrived the next day at 7 am in the morning, he signed and picked it up.
"Thats flash delivery for you, its super expensuve though 500 coins... Its suppose to be a futuristic world! Why do we still not have a material deconstructor and reconstructor delivery method! Flying cars exist for gods sake!"
Jeff ranted a bit about how expensive the delivery fee is for a good 30 minutes while he heated up premade meals, took another 30 minutes to eat and he returned to his work desk with all materials he just received ready.
He worked on the pale wood creating a storm trooper armor set but was disturbed as his other delivery arrived, this time it was for the anti-beam paint, coating, and cloth, the cloth came at an express delivery as well so only the paint and coating arrived at standard delivery time.
He placed the materials near the desk and started to work on the troopers again, he also had a few stacks of energy drinks beside the desk, it was gonna be a restless 9 days.

"With that i haggled my way to some good figure concepts and secured a custom figure, now i need to make a story, ugh it pains me to pay for my own lore world... Fuck you George, just you wait ill make a story superior to my old one but one that still shares the same world and when that time arrives ill expose your thieving ways"
Matt grabbed his Dive gear and placed the visor like device on his face, he then pressed a button with a logo on the side of the device, after doing so his vision became black and the next second he appeared in a lobby similar to a hotel lobby.
"The Megahive, a massive cosmic computer and server capable of creating microverses, i still question how they got this tech, its too godlike to be invented by human hands, i still even question why the characters can be called forth in full size in the real world but not the microverse.. i ask too many questions whenever i come here"
Matt walked to the counter where a holographic receptionist appeared, it was a female with the appearance of a succubus, the receptionists in this lobby change their looks multiple times depending on what story the AI is reading.
Yes AIs in this world read like normal humans, thats all thanks to the Megahive, an unhackable computer that even houses AI lives in it, even the AI is unable to hack it since any idea of doing so will immediately result in a reset for that AI.
"Welcome to the Megahive, Loremaker [Robin of the Hood]"
The Megahive has a different username compared to other platforms and it can only be named once.
"Everytime i hear this name i am reminded of my embarrassing college years... Why did i listen to those fools when it comes naming... Id like a Lore room please and id like to connect my Lore room with the Lore of the world, INTERGALACTIC: FLIGHT OF FREEDOM"
"Your room is #234,783, it has been connected to the world, the payment [5000] coins for a [1★] Lore world has been billed to your account, would you like to add an extra 500 coins to remain anonymous?"
"Yes pay the extra"
"Request has been processed, please enjoy your stay in the Megahive"
