Chapter 237: Buying Rush (1/2)
”You see, it seems like there are going to be a lot of different competitions in the upcoming annual competition and I might end up missing a lot of days of classes,” he said.
”Haha, you are worried about that? Then you will love the news that came out today at noon,” Hannah said.
”Hmm… what news?” he asked.
”Look,” Hannah said as she handed him her phone. Alex took it and saw that it was an official email from Oakleaf University.
-Due to the upcoming release of a gaming capsule from Deva Corp. for the game Eternal Cultivation, the university is going to remain closed for the next week. Classes will run as usual from next week-
”What? They are stopping classes just for a game, why?” he asked.
”Just a game? Do you not know how big Eternal Cultivation is right now?” Hannah asked in surprise.
”I mean I know, but still. Closing a university due to the game, isn't that a little extreme?” he asked.
”Not really. Just think about how many students will be absent from their classes due to playing forever. Especially since you won't have to log out as much with the capsules. Besides, I'm pretty sure the teachers want to play the game too,” Hannah laughed.
”Maybe that is the case,” Alex thought and nodded.
”Yeah, either way, it doesn't matter to us, d—,” Hannah stopped talking and looked at the news. ”Oh, sh*t. Go get your laptop and phone, fast,” she said and ran from the sofa.
”What?” Alex was a little surprised and looked at the TV. There was flashing breaking news at the bottom.
- From Deva Corp.
- Sales for Capsules will start at 5 PM today. The sales system will be a first come first serve. Meaning, whoever orders first will get a capsule delivered to them first.
- One will only be able to order a single capsule at a time.
”Ah,” Alex exclaimed and ran to his room too and brought back his laptop and smartphone. Hannah was already in the room with her laptop open.
She was furiously typing something. Alex looked at the time and saw that it was only 4:50 PM right now. So the sales shouldn't have started yet.
”What are you doing, sister?” he asked.
”Oh, you are here. Open your laptop and start typing everything necessary for buying a capsule, like the home address, your bank account, and everything. It will be easier to copy-paste later,” she said.
”Oh, that's not a bad idea,” he thought and started typing the same as well.
Time started ticking by. They were constantly refreshing the website trying to not miss it.
The clock hit 5, and the page was available.
Both of them furiously started inputting the data into the different fields. There were a few more fields to type in than they had prepared for, but they could just type that right now.
