Chapter 33
Then, Roland found the idea absurd . How could there be gods in this world? It was just a game… However, he suddenly noticed a contradiction .
If this was a game, gods would be natural, but those NPCs were definitely not as simple as tools . Then, what did gods represent? At first, Roland thought that Penguin Corporation developed this game with advanced technology .
However, after witnessing the arrival of the angel, Roland felt that it was more than advanced technology .
It might be something else that was much more unacceptable .
6He heaved a long sigh, feeling that he was overthinking .
It was his habit to think more when he encountered anything . It was hard to say if it was a good habit .
4Thinking would inevitably waste his time and prevent him from making a timely decision .
It would be great if he found things out through thinking, but if he was wrong, he would only be upsetting himself by thinking .
With many random thoughts, Roland waited patiently under the shade of a tree .
The villagers dispersed after the funeral . Roland observed their faces, only to discover that none of them noticed anything unusual .
Soon, a sweaty Betta rushed to him and asked, “What just happened? I saw a pillar of light and what appeared to be a bird . Did you trigger a quest, Brother Roland?”
So, Betta saw it!
Or rather, was it visible to all players?
Roland’s mind wandered off again . It was not until several seconds later that he replied, “Falken’s soul was just picked up by an angel . ”
Roland told him what happened, and Betta listened in surprise .
Betta also fell silent after he heard it .
Roland couldn’t help but smile . Betta was obviously another overthinking man just like himself .
“This game is somewhat weird to me . ” A moment later, Betta looked at the blue sky solemnly .
1Roland nodded in agreement .
Then, the world turned monochrome, and time was up for today .
3Roland woke up in the virtual cabin . He took a shower and turned on his computer .
He checked the forum . The discussion regarding Inferior Fireball was no longer heated . The players were now talking about interesting incidents and new discoveries in the game .
There was a rather popular topic on the forum .
It had been two months since the game was launched . Many male players had tried to have sex with female NPCs .
Some of the female players, particularly those with high charm, also slept with noble NPCs easily and acquired tremendous resources .
11The topic was whether or not having sex with NPCs in the game was acceptable .
Roland found the topic moot . According to the official announcement, all the players in the game were adults . There was a reliable method to determine whether or not the user of the virtual cabin was an adult .
4Since the players were adults, they could certainly make their own choices .
Roland found little valuable intelligence on the forum . He thought for a moment and uploaded the video he recorded before with the title “Encounter with an Angel . ”
5Then, he left home and had breakfast on the street, before he went to the boxing club by bike .
5It was still morning . Apart from the staff and the coaches, there were only three trainees in the boxing club .
Roland was the fourth .
The coach was instructing a vigorous girl, teaching her how to exert strength in kicking . Seeing that Roland was here, he smiled and said, “You’re the most diligent student I’ve seen . You come the earliest and leave last every day . ”
1“I’ve paid for this anyway . ” Roland shrugged and said, “Besides, I’m currently unemployed . I have to have something to do . ”
The coach was a middle-aged man in a vest . His muscles were not too eye-catching, but he was strong and flexible . He found two pairs of gloves and gave Roland one pair . He said, “You’ve been stretching for half a month . It’s time that we start real training . However, before that, I need to test your reaction speed and combat instincts . ”
3Roland put on the gloves and asked, “How are you going to test it? In a training battle?”
“That’s right . ”
While talking, the coach suddenly charged forward and punched Roland’s left eye .
Then, Roland stepped back, and the coach missed his target .
“Huh?”
Briefly dazed, the coach raised his leg and kicked .
However, barely had he moved when Roland stepped back quickly, getting out of the coach’s range of attack .
The coach did not really kick out . He was only measuring Roland’s reaction . It was not a real fight .
“You have fast responses . ”
The coach lowered his fists and reached Roland . He said with a smile, “I estimate…”
BAM!
After a collision, Roland took three steps back, with his gloves protecting his face . He seemed rather shocked .
The coach looked even more odd . He moved his right hand back and shouted in surprise, “You definitely have dynamic vision!”
Everybody who was not blind had dynamic vision . The coach was actually referring to those whose spontaneous reactions were very quick .
2The coach punched fast but did not really use much strength .
Roland stopped and put his hands down . “You caught me quite unprepared . ”
“All right, I know how to teach you now . ” The coach clicked his tongue in amazement . “Your reactions are so quick even when you’ve never practiced before . If you had practiced when you were little, you would probably be able to fight in championships . I hate talented people like you most . It’s decided then . I won’t teach you wholeheartedly . ”
7Roland was amused . “Coach, isn’t that blatant discrimination?”
The coach laughed and demonstrated three simple moves .
Then, he asked Roland to practice the moves first .
Roland practiced the three moves so hard in the club that he was covered in sweat . He did not leave the club until noon .
He took another shower at home . After all, his sweat was sticky and made him uncomfortable .
Relieved, he turned on the computer and opened the forum .
There were a couple of pages of system notifications again .
Most of them were tips .
It’s a trending topic again?
COMMENT
Roland opened the thread that he posted that morning curiously .
