Chapter 709 Do Anything To Cooperate With Him

All the researchers had been spoken to before they were transferred to this underground laboratory.

They were asked to keep their work confidential, and informed of what they would be working on.

They were to study a supernatural human being who had special abilities.

When they heard that, all the researchers wore a “you’ve got to be kidding me” expression.

Those researchers had all learned from the most renowned professors and teachers in the 90s.

The Qigong craze in the 90s seriously traumatized them, to the point that they would slap the desk and yell at the mention of Qigong

Naturally, their thoughts had been passed on to their students.

So, most of the researchers didn’t like special abilities.

They didn’t even want to work on it.

They had only gathered here because they were required to, and because their superiors assured them that it was real and no folly.

Then, the researchers came with slim hopes.

They hoped to see real superpowers, but they were prepared to be tricked.

So, they all got excited when Roland said that he would run an experiment right away.

All they needed to do was to stay and observe, in order to decide if they should quit the project.

They held all the equipment that was assigned to them, then looked at Roland earnestly.

In their imagination, if Roland were a fraud, he would definitely play a lot of tricks, like letting a snake fly out of an empty pot, or taking some gadgets out of nowhere.

Yet… Roland had concentrated blue fire in his hand with nothing at all.

“It must be more than two thousand degrees.”

“Shoot. It’s truly a heat reaction, or so my detector reads.”

“Back off, back off right now. The temperature is so high that the air is twisted. Damn it. Is the experimenter roasted already?”

“He looks absolutely fine.”

“The surface temperature has risen to three thousand degrees, and the center is four thousand.”

“You sure you didn’t read the numbers wrong?”

“I don’t know. That’s what the equipment displays.” “What kind of trick is this?”

“It looks quite familiar. I think I’ve seen it from somewhere.”

“Wait… Is he Roland?”

“Which Roland?”

“The most popular male host among women in Japan?”

“No, the Roland from the immersive MMORPG.”

“The game with a lot of advanced technology?”

“Yes.”

He was a young researcher who loved watching livestreams.

When he was not working, he could only kill time by watching livestreams, as he was bald and wifeless.

He had naturally watched the livestreams of World of Falan, which was the most popular MMORPG these days.

Although Roland had only streamed a few times, as the strongest Mage player in the game, he was mentioned by every anchor when they talked about magic, freedom, or the marriage system in the game.

All in all, Roland was an unavoidable character in the game.

He would be mentioned even during the interpretation of Warrior abilities.

It was because the Warriors would inevitably run into spellcasters in PVP, and as the strongest Mage, he was naturally discussed. Almost all the anchors stated that the Warrior players who met Roland should just surrender because their resistance would be futile.

It was well-acknowledged that nobody could defeat Roland in a solo battle, not even the Spell Breakers.

So, it was not a surprise that this young research knew of Roland’s famous blue fireball.

“Isn’t it just a game?”

“I knew that game wasn’t so simple. I should’ve applied for a virtual cabin.”

Those researchers discussed with each other and looked at their equipment, only to grow more and more shocked.

The readings of the equipment had already reshaped their outlook.

After condensing magic power for more than ten seconds, Roland had expanded his blue fireball to twenty centimeters in diameter.

It was not nearly as good as the one in the game, but all the researchers were astounded as they read their equipment output. “Take covers! Hide behind the shelters! Hurry! Hurry!”

Douglas ran off too.

As a Mage in the game, he knew that even a blue fireball twenty centimeters in diameter could be astonishingly powerful.

After they hid behind some iron shelters, Roland threw the blue fireball.

The fireball didn’t fly very fast, but it was so bright and dazzling in everybody’s eyes that everything around it was dimmed.

The fireball hit the dummies two seconds later.

After a brief flash, there was a deafening explosion.

As if thunder had just rambled in the underground space, everybody’s ears were humming

Then enormous airwaves, raised by the explosion, gushed out along with red flames. Even though they were hiding behind shelters, they could see flames coming in from the gaps, as if they were being attacked by flamethrowers.

It didn’t last long, but it was truly scary. About five seconds later, all the researchers stood up again.

Someone seemed to have fallen because of the shock, but the first thing they did after they got back to their feet was not to see if they were wounded, but to check the readings of their equipment.

A director shouted, “Call the medics! The experimenter might’ve been heavily wounded by the explosion! Hurry!”

When he rushed back to the experiment area, he found that Roland was still there.

The whole experiment ground was darkened except for Roland as well as a tiny trail behind him, which was as clean as before.
