Chapter 127: Late on a Saturday (1/2)

Alex opened his eyes inside his brightly lit room. He tried to remember what he was doing today before leaving the game.

”Ah, that's right. Those talismans. I learned all the recipes and blueprints. It's amazing how I can remember everything in the game, yet in the real world, I can't even remember to call my parents.” He laughed as he said that to himself.

”Hmm… ” suddenly, he noticed something. Something was vibrating close to him. When he tried to look around for what it was, he realized that it was coming from one of his numerous storage bags.

As he looked into the bag to see what was making so much of a ruckus, he realized that it was his badge. He took out the badge numbered 168 and saw that it was not only vibrating but also flashing as well.

'What's going on?' he thought as he sent his spiritual sense into the badge. ”What?!!” he exclaimed loudly as he realized there were numerous notifications in his badge, and all of them were similar.

-Number 182 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

-You have forfeited the match. Your number is now 182-

-Number 198 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

-You have forfeited the match. Your number is now 198-

-Number 873 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

-You have forfeited the match. Your number is now 873-

-Number 943 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

Alex was really surprised now. ”Oh no. Today is a Saturday. I forgot you had to fight every hour on a Friday and Saturday.” He looked at the time and realized there was only an hour and a half left before the fightings were over.

He hurriedly ran out of the house. He put the badge on the wooden panel and walked out after the door opened. As soon as he was out, the badge suddenly showed a change.

The number of the badge suddenly changed from 168 to 873. ”It can do that too?” Alex was surprised. He didn't give it another thought, however. He started running towards the sect crater and reached it in less than 10 minutes.

However, by the time he was there, his hour was over, and his badge had changed from number 973 to 943.
