28 Roasted Spider Legs (1/2)
Roland smiled at his bummed friends and said, ”Why don't you change your classes, too? The average level is not too high yet. You should be able to catch up soon.”
Li Lin shook his head. ”I don't think I would. Although the nobles often ask for trouble, I've made friends with a lot of NPCs. If I delete my character, I don't think they will remember me. Even if I approach them in my new identity, they might treat me differently. So… I'll pass.”
Everybody agreed with what Li Lin said.
Betta, in particularly, looked down. He remembered what happened yesterday.
Schuck thought for a moment and said, ”I discovered that the NPCs of this game are exceptionally vivid. I haven't been in the Church of Light for long, but I already noticed the factions and the internal strife. If the plots are devised by the producers, it would be too terrifying. How much work would it be?”
Husseret continued, ”Vividness doesn't matter. All I know is that this game is really fun. Many gangs in the city have reached out to me and want to hire me. I've been considering their offers, but they are all notorious.”
”You'd better not join them. This game is too realistic. I'm afraid that your personality in reality will be affected if you do bad things with them in the game,” said Roland.
Husseret nodded. ”All right, I'll see if I can join a group that has a better reputation.”
Roland looked at everyone and said, ”Why don't we talk about our current situations and our plans for the future?”
Li Lin said, ”The Guild of Warriors reached out to me and said that they wanted to groom me.”
Raffel also said, ”I'm planning to join the Guild of Warriors, too.”
Brazil shrugged and said, ”I just caught a little leopard as my life pet. I'm planning to travel around the city first.”
Schuck leaned back and said, ”I'm mainly studying the doctrine of the Church of Light. It's long and boring. The bishop who taught me said that I was not pious enough to become a Saint Samurai, but I did become one. So, he asked me to go to the Holy Realm, where I could receive the tutelage of the Goddess of Light, with any luck. I'm planning to go there and take a look at her. I heard her voice before. It's rather pleasant.”
In the end, Roland said, ”Betta and I accepted a quest yesterday. We screwed it up.”
Betta, who was eating a watermelon, smiled bitterly in embarrassment.
Roland continued, ”So, we're planning to clear the monsters near the town, partly to gain more experience and partly to restore our reputation in the town.”
”All right, since we each have our own plans, let's carry them out for now.” Schuck sat straight and said, ”I'll see if I can find flying pets in the Holy Realm so that we can gather in the game.”
”There are flying pets?” Brazil's eyes bulged. ”I didn't know that. I should've caught a flying pet that I could ride.”
Everybody laughed.
Then, they chit-chatted for a while and dispersed after he uploaded the map to their group chat.
Roland checked the forum again after he returned home, only to discover that he was still being discussed. He gave up and went to bed.
After a nap, he went out and found a boxing club on the street.
The facilities and the environment in the club were not bad, and the coaches seemed reliable. So, he paid for membership.
He wanted to learn boxing because of the video he watched that morning.
The man's intricate sword arts, enhanced by the attributes of his game character, were truly remarkable.
Mages were usually weak in melee fights. He was only learning boxing to make sure that he could at least have a chance of survival when an enemy approached him. Besides, with spells that could increase his strength or speed, his combat ability could be enhanced if he knew boxing.
