Chapter 51：House with a Courtyard (1/2)

Alex got up from his bed. He was feeling terrible right now. All the pain he had to suffer today was so real, that he started to wonder if he was even playing a game.

He went and took a cold bath, washing away all the fatigue he felt until now. The near-death experience had traumatized him to some extent, yet somehow he didn't think of it as a bad thing.

He went to have his lunch with his roommates and went to his classes.

In Deva corporation, a bald man in his late 40s was sitting in a meeting room apparently waiting for someone. He seemed to be both nervous and excited about who he was about to meet.

”Welcome miss Hao, I hope you are doing well.” He said with a smile that was incapable of hiding his excitement. The girl felt disgusted but didn't say anything as she walked ahead and sat down at the table.

”Is it ready?” she asked.

The man practically ran towards her to bring her a stack of papers in a neat binding. ”Here are the records from the Eternal Cultivation miss. We have prepared them just as you asked.”

The young lady briefly looked through the papers and nodded to herself. ”Good, I'm leaving.” She stood up and started walking away.

”Miss Hao,” the man immediately called her, stopping her in her tracks. ”Is it possible for us to meet the genius that made this game?” he asked.

The lady simply turned around and said, ”You aren't worthy to meet him. Just sit back and hope something new comes along your way. That is all you deserve.” She then walked away.

The company had made billions from the game the lady Hao had given to the Deva Corporation, and he as the president would get most of the profits. So, he happily took the woman's insults without any annoyance.

He was now starting to hope the lady would bring along something else from the game's creator. He could only hope that much.

Alex returned from his classes. He didn't learn much today as he was mostly distracted by the thoughts of what had happened this morning.

He returned to his room after having his afternoon lunch. As soon as he was done changing his clothes, he jumped back into the game.

He opened his eyes inside the random room he had walked into when he logged out this morning. He walked around the house to check it out. The house had about 5 rooms in it, with 4 of them being normal rooms, and the last one being an alchemy room with a fire pit in the middle.
