Chapter 41 Offer
As the sun set, tranquility embraced the night, devoid of any disturbances. On that particular day, following an exchange of words, the brothers engaged in a conversation.
After pestering their father, they finally got a night shift to make sure that everyone was safe. Even Sarah took one of them but Lucas wasn't done.
Since he leveled up, it was like the sleep he should usually be taking in order to be refreshed the other day had become lesser than before. He didn't sleep that night till John's turn came to make sure from time to time that the brothers and Sarah didn't sleep between their shifts.
To Lucas's surprise, Barney and Sean both kept awake throughout their shifts and so did Sarah. Lucas felt like things would change pretty soon and the group would get better coordination.
The next day, everyone woke up early. Lucas had some bags under his eyes but it was till manageable.
'I almost took an all-nighter but it's not like before when I played games all night and messed up my sleep for many days ahead. These levelups are really doing wonders.' Lucas thought, impressed with the things that had been going on around him.
"Would you look at that... even Sean is training his skills," John said.
Sean was near Barney inside the defenses at the corner. Barney was making the spear revolve around him at a fast pace while Sean kept giving him buffs from time to time.
His eyes kept darting toward John who had a grin on his face as if he was happy with how much things had changed with only a night.
"That reminds me, Let me call my old man," Lucas said and made a call again with the system. The same 'TRII' sounds started resounding in his mind but his father didn't pick up the call.
But Lucas wasn't thinking of any negatives as at the side of his father's name, the number had changed to 6 meaning his father had leveled up since a day ago.
Lucas felt proud that his mother was in good hands and they would not be in any trouble.
"He didn't pick up, and I can't talk with my mother cause of the cooldown. Uncle John, I can't sit like this, what do we do today?"
-"I would love to Lucas but all these bodies- no, the food is to be managed. You know how your father is, he does all the work extensively."-
"Figures"
Lucas and his mother talked for a whole 10 minutes and he could tell that his mother was being as discreet as possible.
According to her, they were living with a bunch of people, and Lucas got to know yet again that making living arrangements was very tough and he was the lucky one.
His mother's skill name was 'Precise Aim'. It helped her with very good aim while she used a bow and arrow made by his father for her.
His father's skill was 'Knight's Aura', something that helped him coat his hands or even full body in a reddish aura that according to his mother looked creepy.
His father had a fallout with some weird creatures that walked on four feet and had a big bodies like a cow. But they were aggressive.
His father for unknown reasons, killed every single of these creatures on his own and now they were having a hard time storing all of it.
-"Hey, I just thought, since we have an abundance of food right now, how about I share some with you using the trading option? I remember using it once before with your sister. I only got to use it one time with your sister."-
There was a small option below her name that started to blink. An old measuring device's image was made on the option and it kept blinking.
