Chapter 694 Small World
Although he didn’t have much magic power left, Roland stayed in the secret base until almost six in the afternoon.
He was getting more and more fond of this place. He felt relaxed and comfortable here.
However, considering that there was nothing in this place yet, he had to leave.
After all, he had a game to play at night.
After he left, the Sunlight spell was still working It could last about fifteen hours, which could provide enough sunlight for the survival of the plants. He took an SUV home, and his parents caught him the moment he returned. His father said to him, “I have a colleague whom you’ve met before. You called him Uncle Zhang. He’s set you up with a girl. He said that she’s beautiful and has her own career. He wanted you to meet her.”
Roland shook his head. “Not interested.”
“He’s been my boss for years. I can hardly refuse him,” His father smiled and said. “I’m begging you, can you at least meet her? It’s fine if it doesn’t work out, but at least go meet her. I have to show my boss some respect. Can you show me some respect too, son?” Roland quickly raised his hands and surrendered. “Okay, okay, Dad. You don’t have to beg me. How can I not meet her when you’re talking like that?”
His father smiled. “Put on nice clothes.”
Having no choice, Roland washed up upstairs and put on new casual clothes. He then shaved his face and drove the SUV to the address that his father gave him.
The date was eight in the evening. Roland waited for a moment, and his phone rang when it was about the time.
“Hello, are you the person that Uncle Zhang told me about?”
The voice sounded rather familiar. After a brief shock, Roland replied, “Yes, I’m at Table 7.”
Then, a girl wearing a bright blue dress walked over.
Roland was slightly surprised to see her.
She was even more surprised to see Roland.
“How can it be you?” The girl sat down across from Roland quickly. “What a small world.” “Indeed.” Roland smiled bitterly. “I’m even starting to suspect that you’ve acquired my personal information and prepared a trap for
me.”
The girl who sat in front of him was exactly Jin Wenwen, whom he disliked very much in the past.
“Don’t overestimate your importance, Mr. Huang Wenwei!” Jin Wenwen chuckled. “I’ve lost interest in your virtual cabin, because I already have one.”
Roland was slightly surprised. “How much did it cost?”
“A store in a first-tier city, and the building where my boxing club was located,” said Jin Wenwen helplessly. “I wasn’t interested earlier and didn’t get one in the initial release. I’m really regretful that I had to pay so much more money.” Naturally, Roland was aware of the price of the virtual cabins these days.
Seeing how regretful Jin Wenwen was, he knew that those real estates were probably worth more than seven million.
Roland asked with even more curiosity, “How did you get it?”
“With luck,” replied Jin Wenwen with a smile. “One of the players committed a crime in reality and couldn’t pay enough compensation, so the court auctioned his virtual cabin. You know that few people participate in the court auctions of small cities. The competition wasn’t too fierce, but I managed to get it with the highest bid.”
She was truly very lucky.
Roland observed the woman carefully for a while longer, only to discover that she was more feminine than before.
She still favored a gender-neutral style, but in general, she looked much more attractive than earlier.
“Why are you on a blind date?” Roland was rather curious. “I thought you and Master Qi had made peace.”
“We have, but certain things can hardly be fixed after they’re broken. I don’t know when we can talk to each other peacefully again.” Jin Wenwen smiled bitterly and looked at Roland. “Why are you on a blind date? Aren’t you very close to his sister?”
“Huh?” Roland was slightly surprised. “Who told you that? Night Tide Sands is my friend, but we’re not in a relationship.”
Jin Wenwen shook her head helplessly and mumbled, “Poor sister.”
The coffeehouse was noisy in the first place. When she lowered her voice, Roland couldn’t hear him at all.
The waitress served the beverage she ordered. While stirring the blue fluid in the cup with her spoon, she said, “Let’s not talk about that. I’m now a member of the World of Falan too. Since you started playing the game three years earlier than I did, you must be very strong in it. Can you give me any help in the game?”
“I can’t,” replied Roland calmly. “My class is very costly.” “Huh? You’re a Mage?” asked Jin Wenwen in surprise.
She had been paying attention to the game even before she had a virtual cabin, and she collected news about it.
Naturally, she knew what the most costly class was.
Roland nodded.
