Chapter 126: Free Apartment (1/2)

”You wanna ride that?” Hannah asked hesitantly while looking at a big Ferris wheel in front of her.

”Yeah, Hannah, let's ride that. Alex, you should ride that as well. Have you been on a Ferris wheel that big?” Hannah's friend, Vinny asked.

”No. We occasionally had a small one during the fairs, but those were like half the size of these,” Alex said.

”Alright then, come on. It's my treat anyway,” said Vinny as she dragged both of them along.

Vinny and Hannah were roommates that rented an apartment together. She had recently completed university, so she was leaving the city next week. So, as a sort of farewell party, she had decided to take Hannah to the amusement park. When she mentioned that she had a cousin in town that might also want to come to one, she had allowed Hannah to invite Alex.

Hannah's other friend that she used to live with had also completed university and had already left. While Hannah still had a few more months of study, so she was now going to be alone.

They got up on the Ferris wheel and started enjoying the experience as the Ferris wheel brought them up high. However, Alex didn't find the height scary at all.

'Is it because I am quite used to flying inside the game?' he wondered. Hannah seemed to be less phased by the height as well. While Vinny on the other hand was having the time of her life. Although he wasn't scared, he still enjoyed the experience of rapidly falling.

After 10 minutes, they came down of the Ferris wheel. Vinny took them to a lot of other sites in the amusement park. By the time they left the amusement park, it was already past 3 pm.

Vinny took the two to a restaurant to get something to eat. There, they started talking once more.

”Where are you at in EC, Alex?” Vinny asked while taking a bite out of her fries.

”EC… Eternal Cultivation? How did you know I played it?” Alex asked with a surprised face.

”Everyone plays it, haha. Besides, I think I remember Hannah mentioning something about it.” Vinny said as she laughed.

”Yeah, Alex. You didn't mention last time where you were at. What continent are you in?” Hannah asked.

”Continent?” Alex said with puzzlement. ”I don't really know what a continent is, but I'm in a place called Scarlet City in the Crimson Empire.”

Hannah thought for a bit and said, ”I haven't really heard about any empires called Crimson Empire in the game. Must be a different continent from the East then.”

Vinny suddenly spoke as she thought, ”Ah, I think I have heard about that Empire in the forums. The players say that none of the NPCs know what continent they are in. But, from their description of the place, it's full of trees and greenery, so I think it's not the northern continent that is completely frozen or the southern continent that is said to be barren for the most part, right? So, It has to be the western continent.”

”Oh, the Western continent? I heard that it gets the least amount of players for some reason. Also, the NPCs from there have a very weak cultivation base” Hannah said

”Speaking of that, what cultivation base do you have, Alex?” Vinny asked.
