Chapter 298 - The Game Server“s Open (2/2)

One of the Russians was tough, hugging the fence and refusing to fall, an almost shameless act. Raffel had no thought of being polite, hitting hard with a s.h.i.+eld strike and a longsword slap across the opponent’s helmet.

After a rapid succession of blows, the Russian was actually knocked unconscious.

After obtaining the victory, Roland and the others were treated almost as heroes, but they were not excited and left the arena without even taking off their helmets.

Since single-player battles were coming up, the award ceremony would have to wait until four days later, which was just what Roland and the others wanted, as they refused to be interviewed by the female streamer and went straight back to the contestant area, taking off their armor and slipping away.

They then traveled around Jingnan for a day and a half before taking the high-speed train home. As for the trophy and prize money, Qi Shaoqiu would claim it in their stead.

Roland threw his backpack on the floor and couldn’t wait to turn on his computer, as the server update ended in the evening and the server reopened.

He wanted to see if there was any important news or content on the forum, but all he could find was idiotic netizens spamming posts like “Time is so hard to pa.s.s” and “I’m dying without a game to play” and other posts without substance.

It was hard to wait until ten in the evening. Roland, already washed up, got into the virtual cabin.

He soon fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found himself standing in the middle of the manor’s study.

Roland took a deep breath, the magic in the air pouring into this body like water.

He was stunned for a moment. Before he left, he was obviously full of MP… so how come now, his MP was almost completely gone?

He breathed out and sat back in his chair.

Then he looked around and a feeling of comfort came over him.

Although he had loved ones in the real world, he had to admit that it was this world that made him feel more comfortable.

The ubiquitous magic could fill his mental void.

After sitting in his chair for a while, Roland realized that his MP was a fifth of the way up and no longer affected his movement, so he opened the door and went out, and then saw a maid on the sidewalk staring at him agape.

Roland was wondering why the maid looked like she had seen a ghost.

The maid then turned and ran, shouting as she did so, “The Master is back, the Master is back!”

“Huh?”

Roland was even more bewildered.

At this moment, Roland suddenly heard a swis.h.i.+ng sound and a silhouette appeared in front of him, leaving a dozen afterimages along the way.

Then he felt himself being embraced in a warm hug.

“You’re back, finally!” It was a familiar voice, containing a trace of hidden bitterness. “You’ve been gone for 21 days, I thought you didn’t want me either!”

Andonara cried pear-shaped tears. Her expression was haggard and she even took on an air of sickness and weakness.

21 days?

Roland understood something.

At this moment, there was the sound of running from the stairway and Vivian appeared in the corridor with her skirt lifted. When she saw Roland, she wiped her red eyes hard with her hand.

Seven days! 21 days!

Roland found it odd that the servers used to routinely shut down every day and the time in this world would stop.

However, why was it that time was still pa.s.sing during this update?
