368 The Guild is No Longer Useless (2/2)

Christina, on the other hand, felt rather weird. Why had the descendant of the Hero taken her here? The bed was big enough for multiple people, and a man was here. Could it be… Certain thoughts popped up in her head.

But she wasn't really surprised. She knew of the decadence of human nobles. Besides, she was in no place to judge human beings, as vampires were even more unbelievable in that aspect.

After all, almost all vampires were transformed from human beings, and they inherited human beings' deep-rooted bad habits.

She looked at Roland. Although this man was not exactly handsome, he had the pleasant, enjoyable vibe of a knowledgeable person.

It wasn't so hard to accept that she had to sleep with such a man.

But to her surprise, Andonara found a blanket from the closet and threw it to the floor, before she said, ”You'll sleep on the floor tonight.”

Christina pointed at Roland and said in surprise, ”Don't you want me to serve him?”

”Nice thought.” The gentleness in Andonara was replaced by gloom. ”Even I haven't touched Roland yet. You think it's your turn?”

Seeing Andonara's threatening eyes, which resembled those of a leopard protecting its food, Christina shivered and said quickly, ”I didn't mean that, Master.”

”That's good.” Andonara was a lot of more relaxed.

If it were Vivian, she would turn a blind eye to her. After all, Vivian knew Roland first, and she was sort of a third wheel.

But she wouldn't let any other women approach Roland.

Christina rolled herself in the blanket to a corner and closed her eyes. Very soon, she fell asleep.

She was too tired.

She hadn't slept well for three months, always waking up from nightmares.

Though the ”demon” in her nightmares was right behind her, she was no longer scared, and now that she was not anxious, exhaustion immediately kicked in.

She was sound asleep after no more than ten seconds.

Andonara was going to talk to her about the rules, but seeing that the girl had fallen asleep, she decided to drop it.

Then, she took out a soft cloak from the closet and covered Roland with it.

Although a professional was unlikely to catch a cold, she still wanted to make this gesture.

Roland turned and smiled at her, before he devoted herself to deduction again.

He had obtained a graph on a magic array earlier, but he couldn't understand it.

Now, with Christina's explanations of the nodes, he could extract the data into the math models that he built earlier and separate the key model in the magic array with the formulas proposed by O'Neal. Then, he was able to filter out the encryption part of the magic array.

He was not sure that it was 100% correct, but he had separated the two parts successfully.

It was the most important part of reverse engineering. After this was worked out, things would become easier.

He compared the model of the contract magic array with the shell of the model he had earlier and found a lot of similar square nodes. He estimated that they must be the structural nodes of magic arrays.

Delighted, he compared the shells of the two magic arrays, concluding the similarities and differences. He also imported the data that he acquired from Christina and inferred the formulas.

Very soon, he had made great progress.

Time flew quite fast when he was devoted to studying. He was just beginning to feel that he was onto something when the game time ended.

He reluctantly quit the game and habitually opened the forum, only to see a new official update announcement.

”Because of our negligence, the guild system is now utterly useless. The real-time cross-area chat in the guild system has no advantages compared to the innate Internet accessibility in the game, which discourages players from establishing guilds, to the point that there is still only one guild in the whole game world right now. In light of that, we have decided to offer more privileges to the guilds. Whoever joins a guild will be able to learn an additional general specialization in the guild, which comes with no cost. This specialization, once picked, cannot be altered or deleted. If you leave the guild, the specialization will be frozen until you return to the guild or join a new one.

”The designers of this game are still considering more privileges for the guilds. We will try our best to create an easy and enjoyable world for all players. Have fun in the game!”

Roland raised his eyebrow, knowing that Schuck would become popular again.

He then entered the general discussion section. As he expected, he saw the heated discussions among the players.

It was the leisure players who complained most.

”It's really difficult to establish a guild. No big guilds have ever been officially established apart from F6. What can we do? Are we going to lose out on a powerful specialization just because we're not in a guild?”

”Hear, hear.”

”You can join a guild. It's not like you're forbidden from doing so.”

”Will we still be lone wolves if we join a guild?”

Roland clicked off the page and was rather excited that he could acquire another specialization for nothing.

What should he pick?

Increase the upper limit of his magic power?

Increase the range of the evoking spells?

Magic Initiative?

Well, there were so many excellent specializations. Roland found it difficult to pick one.
