Chapter 9：Cultivation Mechanics (1/2)

Alex logged out of the game and went to eat his lunch at 10 am with his other 3 friends. After lunch, all of them started to get dressed for the Orientation.

Today was the unofficial first day of University where they would be welcomed, and get to choose their subjects and class schedule.

After getting ready, all 4 of them went to the University. Since they lived in the dorm, it was a 5-minute walk at best. They just had to leave the dorm, and walk a few minutes away to the main building.

They were quickly shown their way to the main hall where the orientation was going to take place.

They sat around and waited, as the main program started to take place.

The dean of the university got on to the stage and started giving a speech about how important university studies are, how good Oakleaf University is, and how they have a legacy to uphold.

Alex wanted to focus on the speech but quickly lost focus. A few more people came onto the stage to speak about some more things.

2 hours went by before Alex even noticed it. A clean-shaven man in his late 20s got onto the stage and said,

”The Orientation program is now over. An email has been sent to your address with your username and password, for the university website.”

”You can either use the website to select your courses and schedule, or you can go to the reception to do it. Good luck, I look forward to teaching you all.”

The man walked out. Alex opened his phone and checked his email. There really was a new mail from the university. He quickly used the given credentials to log in to the school website.

He chose 3 business and economics courses, and 2 technology-related courses, one of them being a VR-focused course. He was looking forward to them.

He managed to get an easy schedule. From Monday to Thursday, he had classes from 11 am to 3 pm. There would be 3 classes every day, each an hour-long, with a 20 minutes break between each class.

There was one problem he quickly realized, however. Given that he had taken 2 technology courses, he would sooner or later need a computer.

He might also require a VR Helmet, but he had one for now so he didn't care about it.

”Do I need to ask my parents for money?” he started to regret taking the technology classes. His parents had sent him to university only because they were free. But they hadn't thought about the extra needs he might have had.

'Oh! What about making money from the game? If making pills really is the best way to make money in the game, then I should learn more about it.' He thought.

”Alex, you done?” Matt asked from the side.

”Huh, oh yeah, I'm done. Are we leaving?” he asked.
