Chapter 178 - You’re Getting the Hang of (1/2)

Hearing that Roland was leaving, Vivian was of a mind to propose to follow him.

But on second thought, both the Magic Tower and the manor had to be supervised, and since Roland gave such an important mission to her, it meant that she was someone he could trust.

Thinking that, Vivian was a lot happier.

Roland continued, “In case anybody is mean to you, White Amber will stay with you to protect and help you. Also, you can talk to me over a long distance with the mental communication ability of the pet. If anything happens, just tell me, and I’ll try to return as soon as possible.”

Vivian nodded, indicating that she got it.

It was true that people would hardly follow her instructions if she were by herself, but things would be different if she had a White Amber.

The level of a pet was affiliated to the level of its master, which meant that White Amber was also level five. It might not seem very impressive, but it was only slightly weaker than Roland, and it could crush general magic apprentices and low-level soldiers easily. Probably only the three players in Delpon City were stronger than Vivian plus White Amber.

Vivian thought for a moment and asked, “When will you go?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“Then I’ll make some delicious food for you in the manor tomorrow.”

Roland smiled. “Thank you.”

The food that Vivian made in the game was not bad. Of course, her food was not exactly delicious, but it still tasted much better than what was sold in the restaurants.

Vivian smiled delightedly and went downstairs with White Amber.

The girl was so happy because she felt like a wife making food for her husband before a long journey.

The thought of that made her heart race.

After she left, the room fell quiet again.

Roland began to consider the incident in reality.

Because of oxygen intoxication, his head had felt dizzy, and it would hurt whenever he thought too hard.

He was sleepy too, which was why he fell asleep almost immediately after he entered the virtual cabin.

So, he could only consider the problem he met during the day in the game.

What was that energy?

Familial bond?

Spiritual energy?

Or… magic elements in reality?

Whatever it was, it definitely had an influence on his body. Roland felt lucky that he didn’t grab it until the energy ball became smaller.

If he had grabbed it when it was the size of a basketball, he would’ve probably pa.s.sed out on the beam and fallen from above, ending up either dead or crippled.

Roland tapped the table with his finger.

The result of the medical tests was oxygen intoxication.

It meant that the weird thing caused similar biophysical changes to this disease, and the doctor was misled.

Actually… the doctor might not be misled.

That weird thing ran amok in his body and had reactions with his blood or other matter in his body, resulting in excessive oxygen… Or, there might be another possibility.

That weird thing replaced and banished all the oxygen in his body, which made him seem like he was suffering from oxygen intoxication.

Roland felt amused at the thought of that.

The human body was used to energy transportation and exchange through oxygen. It couldn’t be replaced so easily.

All in all, Roland felt that the first possibility was more plausible.

That weird thing reacted with something in his body and resulted in abundant oxygen.

However, what was that thing exactly?

It was the same question he had at the beginning

Because of the lack of intelligence, Roland found that all the three options were possible.

However, no matter whether it was spiritual power, familial bond, or magic power, it was some sort of energy anyway.

What Roland needed to do was to see if he could find such energy elsewhere after his body was better in reality.

But he was slightly frustrated a moment later. He would have to wait a year for the next ritual, and if he were to attend other families’ rituals, he would also have to wait about half a year until the Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Roland heaved a long sigh.

He was so upset that he decided to improve his mood by running magic experiments.

He enjoyed magic experiments for a whole day until the game froze.

Roland sat up in the cabin and stretched out his arms. Then, he leaped out of the cabin agilely.

He was stunned after he walked a few steps.

He had found on the Internet that it would take days of rest before one could fully recover from the sequelae of oxygen intoxication.

However, he felt extremely excited and energetic at this moment, and his drowsiness after he just woke up was completely gone.
