Chapter 741 - Clean and Crisp (1/2)
The matter of Divine Intercourse was put aside for the time being.
Roland was staying at the base at the moment, discussing with some researchers the data he posted on the forum earlier concerning Mystra’s Mansion.
“I think this data is very wrong.” A certain strong, middle-aged bald man tapped on a certain data point on the tablet. “Why do three units of magic power become four units here?”
“I applied mental power into it.” Roland explained, “The energy increased, and it became four units of magic power.”
The middle-aged man gasped in embarrassment. “Energy formed by mental power again. This is a bit counterintuitive. It is reasonable to say that one unit of magic power, forming a basic small fireball, can blow up a concrete wall ten centimeters thick in its normal standard state, and will also form a broken crater with a radius of about thirty centimeters. This is a lot of energy, and it feels a bit unbelievable to create it from mental power.”
“The catalyst effect, right. Don’t those players have a magic cap setting? The energy itself is present in their bodies.”
“That is, Roland now exists with energy inside him that is comparable to a small nuclear bomb.”
“It does seem a little scary when you think about it that way.”
“It seems a little unbelievable that we humans can really do such a thing. That is to say, the kind of immortal celestials in the legends thousands of years ago actually existed, but somehow are no longer present.”
“Because the magic power or some similar energy on Earth disappeared?”
Now they could be sure of one thing; there was no magic on Earth that Roland needed. Roland could only create it with a special spell called Magic Power Transformation.
The raw material for it was sperm.
“Roland, I think you should be more open and get some other people’s sperm to strengthen yourself. Scientific research does not need to be too concerned about things like dirtiness. You have to overcome your mental cleanliness.”
A young researcher was looking at Roland with a fervent gaze. “I can personally offer quite a lot.”
Roland looked at him and took a step back, shaking his head vigorously. “Forget it, I really can’t. I’d rather be slow than use someone else’s stuff.”
There was a sigh from the researchers in the surrounding
Roland was still weak, nowhere near as strong as he was in the game.
The Roland in the game was already Legendary, while the Roland in reality was probably not even an Elite.
And what was even more outrageous was that he had a much higher attribute growth in the game than he did in reality.
This led to a lot of special abilities that Roland couldn’t use in reality.
For example, the ability to take on an elemental form.
These researchers felt quite interested in it because it was another form of life.
If Roland could take on that form and be studied, it was bound to have a groundbreaking impact on biology.
Of course, it was a pity, but all the researchers understood that Roland achieving what he had was already one in a million.
Anyone could see that with half a million gamers, Roland was the only one who had brought his in-game abilities to reality.
After discussing the data with the researchers for a while, Roland sighed.
There was still nothing to be gained.
Although the researchers were impressive, they didn’t know magic, and there were many things that couldn’t be visualized through words.
And there was no way to show them the phenomenon in question.
Without the phenomena, there were no observations to be made, so some studies were simply baseless, or pavilions built in the air, and to them, it was all fake.
Although they could watch livestreams, it was a world away, and across the monitor, it was no different than watching a movie.
After all, it was a different system.
Roland rested for a while. He didn’t say anything about his ability to feel Mystra’s Mansion.
He wanted to keep some secrets, some means of self-protection that others didn’t know of.
After a break, the person in charge came over and said, “Roland, the experimental site over in the northwest is ready now, just waiting for your approval, and then we’ll move there.”
“Okay, when do we leave?” “The day after tomorrow.” The person in charge smiled. “We’ll send a special car to your door then, and there will be a couple of fairly reliable guards who will help carry the virtual cabin to the car and take care of your safety along the way.” Roland nodded. “Okay, sorry to trouble you.” “It’s nothing. It’s all work.” The person in charge smiled and then walked away.
Roland then prepared to move to the secret base over in the uninhabited region in the northwest.
He told his parents about it, but of course, he kept secret the things that should be kept secret and just said that there was a good chance he could move up by going there.
If he wanted to develop his career, of course his parents supported him.
They immediately agreed to Roland going to the northwest, but they didn’t intend to follow him.
After all, they were old and liked to stay at home.
They didn’t like to move around.
If they wanted to see Roland, they could take the high-speed train and go there themselves.
Roland then left the house and called a Schuck and the others.
They gathered once again in the cold drink bar.
Roland told them that he was going to grow outside and they were a bit surprised.
Schuck, in particular, was unable to understand. “Why would you want to go stay in the system and be regulated when you’re making so much money in the game now? You can’t even stay in a company, let alone a state unit with stricter rules and regulations.”
“I’ve got a sudden ambition to move up the ladder.” Roland smiled as he lied.
Schuck wanted to say something. He and Roland were best friends, had grown up in the same neighborhood, attended the same elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and they were quite familiar with each other. He could immediately tell that Roland was lying. But he didn’t say anything more. There wasn’t anything wrong with his friend lying, and it wasn’t harmful, so there was no need to expose him.
But after thinking about it, he said, “You’re leaving tomorrow, so we’ll hold a going-away dinner in the evening. And… the Qi siblings, you’ll have to inform them too, especially Night Tide Sands.”
Roland nodded.
He felt that he and the Qi siblings were such good friends that he certainly had to notify them. After a chat with his brothers, he pedaled his bike to the saber arts club.
Night Tide Sands wasn’t there at the time, only Qi Shaoqiu was, and once Roland told him about it, Qi Shaoqiu froze. The unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth fell to the ground.
“You’re that shocked?” Roland looked quite surprised. “You’re so reluctant for me to go?”
Qi Shaoqiu looked at him gloomily for a long time before he spat the words, “You fool.”
Roland thought he was joking; it was normal for friends to swear at each other for no reason.
He smiled and said, “It starts around eight o’clock in the evening, at Schuck’s cold drink bar. Notify Night Tide Sands for me.”
“Got it, got it, I’ll be there. Get lost. I’m sick of seeing you now.”
Thinking that Qi Shaoqiu might be upset about something, Roland stopped messing with him.
By eight o’clock in the evening, his friends arrived as promised, and the Qi siblings also came.
Both of them had normal expressions, but Schuck and others glanced at Night Tide Sands from time to time.
Tonight, Night Tide Sands was dressed up quite nicely, wearing a white one-piece dress and black leggings, with light makeup and a bit of lipstick.
As soon as Qi Shaoqiu arrived, he competed with Roland in drinks.
When one drank too much beer, it wasn’t easy to hold one’s pee; Roland was a bit tipsy and went to use the bathroom.
When Roland temporarily left the table, Night Tide Sands suddenly raised her cup and said to Schuck, Li Lin, and the others, “You are all Roland’s best friends. I hope you can help me get him drunk.”
When she spoke, there was a faint determination in her pretty peachy eyes.
Schuck and the others froze, and the slower Husseret even spat out the beer he had just taken into his mouth.
After a while, Schuck raised his cup and said admiringly, “Sister, you’re one of the people I admire the most. I’ll toast you by drinking one first to show my respect. Don’t worry, leave this to us. If Roland doesn’t get drunk tonight, we’ll kneel in front of the Qi family saber arts club tomorrow.”
“Yeah!”
