7_Dan_7 Part 7

Chaoz96 took 7_Dan_7 out fishing the very next day. It was warm and the docks were crowded with serious-looking fishermen. After a while, 7_Dan_7 nudged Chaoz96. “My inventory’s full. What do I do?”

Chaoz96 glanced over. “Cook the fish you have, then drop them. Someone probably has logs for a fire around here.”

“Wait, why should I drop the fish?”

“Cooked fish aren’t worth anything in today’s economy.”

7_Dan_7 looked around at the fishermen and raised his voice timidly. “Hey, uh, does anyone have logs for a fire?”

They kept on fishing and only one looked up. “L2p, n00b.”

Chaoz96 grinned. “Ah, they only speak l33t.”

“What, do you know l33t?” asked 7_Dan_7.

“You can’t be a skiller for long without knowing l33t.”

“Can you ask them for logs?”

“Sure,” said Chaoz96. He stood up and called out, “F1re, pl0x.”

“<>< lvl?” said one fisherman.

“What did he say?” asked 7_Dan_7.

“They’ll only give me logs if my fishing level is worthy of respect.” Chaoz96 raised his voice. “My fishing level is 97.”

The fisherman said, “d00d n1ce” and placed a pile of logs on the ground.

“Ty,” said Chaoz96.

“Np.”
