Chapter 65 - 026.2 - Dungeon Diving!
<continued - 2/5>
Finally feeling satisfied with some of what he'd learned, he went through the other tabs quickly but found nothing really interesting although he was a bit confused when he noticed a new skill on his current skills tab: find trails. I thought that was… hunter? Or forester… one of those jobs… wait! Where is calculate taxes!? That's… Joe flashed over to his current job tab and looked with a bit of shock as he realized he had hunter currently equipped. How!? Joe stared for a few moments, then hurriedly swapped to available jobs with a bit of trepidation but then felt relief when he saw all his jobs were still the same and still at the normal levels. Huh! Then how…?
Joe turned to his last and least favorite option and begin trawling through the log list. As he tried to figure out why he'd changed to the hunter job, he blinked with a bit of surprise and increasing worry as he became sidetracked by the last entry in his log: You have bribed three guards. You gain some infamy and increase your criminal status. What! Crap! How… Joe considered a bit, wrestling with this new bit of information and quickly ran through what and how he could ask the help system. But as he began to ask his first question, he had a moment of epiphany and stopped before a large smiled crossed his face and a silent chuckle rumbled his chest. Heh! Help, give me all files on criminals, infamy, criminal status, increasing criminal status, decreasing criminal status, removing criminal status, and the societal effects and consequences of having a criminal status or being a criminal and any differences if different levels of criminal status exist. HA! Let's see you be unhelpful now!
Joe smiled with some satisfaction as he waited for the help file to respond and as the seconds ticked by, his smile grew more voracious as he hoped that the response would be equally lengthy as the time taken to respond. After about twenty seconds of time, a blue box popped up much larger than normal and Joe felt ecstatic at the size but his grin soured as he read and he soon grimaced in anger. Man, they just piled all the fricken useless information into a single popup!
| Criminals: Individuals who have increased criminal status to 100%. Infamy: A form of fame criminals gain for their unlawful deeds. The greater infamy you have, the more people will know you are a criminal. Criminal Status: A metric which measures your growth as a criminal. Crimes accrue criminal status at varying rates. Increasing Criminal Status: Break the laws of the land or of the owner of this cradle. Decreasing Criminal Status: Obey the laws of the land or the cradle. Preform acts of public good. You cannot remove your criminal status in this way, only reduce it. Removing Criminal Status: Report to a judge and pay reparations. Criminal Status Consequences: Amount of criminal status is directly proportional to the chance of arrest and prosecution if criminal status is ever discovered. Infamy Consequences: Infamy increases chances of everyone knowing you are a criminal.
