Chapter 277
🕑 Added 2024-11-05 02:00:04 +0000 UTCAnton stopped leveling up his necromancer character at around seven in the evening since dinner in the dining hall was scheduled at eight. It was his personal rule that he would always join his family during breakfast and dinner to ensure that he did not become an otaku mage who did not meet with anybody and always stayed in his room.
It would also make sure that his bond with his family would only continue to grow instead of becoming alienated from his friends and family. Still, Anton knew that even if he chose to do something like becoming a super otaku, his father would simply not allow him to become like that, at least while he was still young.
More than likely, once he was an adult, Anton knew that that would be the time that Anders would let him do whatever he wanted but it was still a good idea for his mental health to be surrounded by his caring family instead of separating himself from them.
He was a bit happy though that during the last hours of his leveling up, his necromancer reached level seventy-one but the battle was getting hard and that meant that his necromancer gears were sub-par.
Anton decided then that his next action for the next several days was to concentrate on gear farming for his necromancer since he needed to upgrade its gear.
When everyone was ready, they went to the dining hall but Harun led them to a very huge table instead of their original table, and were surprised to see Antonia, Lucia, Phillip, and Walter joining them.
When Antonia noticed his surprise, she told him something unsurprising.
“I transferred us to a table that could accommodate all of us. It is also near to the stage so you can watch the shows being presented clearly.”
Anton just shrugged and noticed that everyone was taking it for granted and more than likely, his new friends already informed his family about the change.
When the food was served, they began talking about different things.
“Anton, I need to ask you, can we use the magic item that will let you record the movie?” Anders asked his son.
“We could but the quality is a bit poorer. Why?”
Anton was the only one who thought that the quality was lesser than his spell but to be honest, it was noticeable. It was like someone who was used to watching a high-definition movie suddenly switching back to Standard Definition.
“During our business talk, there was talk that it would be better if the movie was shown every night for a fraction of the initial cost of the ticket that we talked about. It was to ensure that not only the rich passengers could see the films but every passenger since if the tickets were cheaper, everyone could see the movies and according to your friends, that was one of the best ways to advertise our family’s cinema business. I know you’re busy every day increasing your mage power so it would be best if a magic item was used to present the movies instead of you being always there casting the spell.”
“Okay. After dinner, lead me to the room or hall that you rented as the cinema and I’ll record the movie Titanic on the magic item.”
The entertainment for the night started and they had to stop since it was hard to hear their talks over the singing of the bard on the stage. After the concert ended, his new friends turned to him.
“Can I go with you? I want to watch Titanic again,” Antonia asked and Lucia asked the same thing.
Anton just shrugged indicating that it wasn’t a problem for him. After dinner, unexpectedly, everyone decided to join him in the recording session. He could see that most of his family and friends were not interested in watching the film again since they had seen it several times but were interested in the recording session. He was glad that once he cast the Globe of Browser Sharing spell, he could just leave it alone and then focus on either leveling up his character or gear farming.
His new friends led them to another floor which was the floor with the most businesses that both the poorer passengers and the elite passengers could go to. That meant that his family and the four rich young folks truly intended for everyone to see the films.
Anton knew that Antonia, Lucia, Phillip, and Walter were still in the middle of talking about the cinema business with his father, and Nemina and Anders told him that all of their talks were still in the initial phase since they still had a lot of time in the journey to cement the business proposals.
The hall that they chose for the cinema was as large as a standard cinema capable of seating at least three hundred customers. Antonia told him that it used to be a dancing hall that was used twice or thrice a week so she decided to use the room as the cinema permanently.
During the recording session, nobody needed to enter the venue to disturb them since any noise would also be recorded. All the lights needed to be turned off so the only thing that the magic items would record was the movie itself. Antonia hired a few people as guards to deter anyone from even coming near the cinema door to avoid noise.
There were only a few chairs in the hall since the place wasn’t fully ready yet. Frederick would be the one handling the recording magic item. Anton first calibrated the size and quality of the video and the quality and loudness of the sound of the video. He made the sound especially loud to make sure that it would be clear to hear in every corner of the cinema. When everything was up to par, Frederick then readied the magic item.
They turned off the lights then Frederick activated the recording magic item. The mage signaled Anton by tapping his foot that the item was ready so he started the Titanic movie.
During the recording, Anton was glad that nobody disturbed them. While the film was being recorded, he started his gear-farming plan but unfortunately, during the whole movie, even though he found some good gear, he did not find any of the best in slot gears for the necromancer but it was expected. It would probably take time for him to get the best in slot gears.
When the movie ended Anton also added the music video clip of the song My Heart Will Go On by the singer Celine Dion with a montage of some of the dramatic scenes from the movie.
Once the recording session had ended, Anton threw the responsibility of checking the quality of the film to his father then they all returned to the suite.
It was very late so Anton slept immediately after taking a shower. The next day, he joined his family for the breakfast buffet but was not surprised to learn that the only ones who would join him were his father, Nemina, Lucas, and Colin. The others were still sleeping. Even his four new friends were not present and Nemina told him that they kept talking about the films that the family had already seen until the wee hours of the morning.
Anton was the only one who returned to the suite since the others went somewhere else either for business or leisure, he wasn’t sure which. He pinned the sign that he made that he was unavailable until four in the afternoon on his door then he immediately entered his Diablo II system.
