Chapter 247: City Tour (1/2)

Alex opened his eyes at the same place he left. The window was no longer glaring with intense lights. He couldn't feel the hot temperature or hear the loud sounds.

Wan Li seemed to have gotten back to reading his books and didn't bother with Alex.

'This feels much better. Why would the developers have to do something so stupid like making Focus Mode permanent?' he thought He really disliked the complete change in senses from when he was out of the game to inside the game.

He stood up from his bed and looked at the time. It was around half past 3. 'Maybe I should go out and check the city,' Alex thought.

”Hey brother Wan, you want to go see the city?” Alex asked.

”The city? Uh… I already did it in the afternoon. You were asleep the entire time I left and came back,” Wan Li said.

”Oh, then I will go check it out. Is there anything good I should check?” Alex asked.

”I don't really know; we didn't cover a very large area,” Wan Li said.

With the sheer scope of the city, Alex could understand why. ”Alright then, I'm leaving,” Alex said and walked out of the room.

Wan Li was in the room, so he didn't really care about locking the room.

”Hmm… Yu Ming, you are out? Are you going somewhere?”

Alex saw his master walking up the staircase with a bunch of elders.

”Yes, master. I was thinking of going out to visit the city,” Alex said. ”Where are you coming back from, master?” His master and elders didn't look like they were coming back from a normal visit to the city.

”We are coming back from the sect meeting that was held by the competition holders in the city. They gave us some more information about the upcoming competitions,” Ma Rong said.

”Oh, it must be something important then. Do I need to stay and listen?” Alex asked.

”No, I will tell you guys later tonight. For now, just go and visit the city. Remember to not leave very far away and come back to the hotel by 6 am,” Ma Rong said.

Alex nodded and bowed to the elders before leaving. He walked down the 17 flight of stairs and finally left the hotel.

The hotel was situated in the western quadrant of the city. He remembered the location and started walking towards the north.

Along the way, he saw the general festiveness of the city. There were many people out on the streets. The vendors shouted the best they could to attract the people on the streets, while the people looked around for fun things to buy.

Alex was a little overwhelmed seeing so many people in the city. When he had entered the city this morning, it was just that, morning. That couldn't compare to the late afternoon when most people left to shop.

He looked around him and saw an unnatural amount of young people in similar robes. ”So many sects are here today,” he thought as he looked at the myriad of different robes.
