Chapter 372: Field Trip (1/2)

Alex got out of the capsule early in the morning and went to the bathroom to freshen up. He then packed some light clothes for the trip.

'Pinewood city is in the south right? So I won't be needing any sweaters and such,' he thought. Once he was set, he grabbed his phone and walked out.

”Are you ready already?” Sarah asked.

”Yes, they called us by 8, so I have to be, right?” he asked.

”Well, if someone else had the same mentality as you, I wouldn't have to wait so long,” Sarah said.

Emily walked out of her room, and said, ”Stop badmouthing about me behind my back. Your voice is so loud I can hear it all the way from my room.”

”Hehe, she's out,” Sarah said.

Alex turned around to look at Emily who was just walking into the living room. She had a long white trouser-like pants and a yellow t-shirt that was full of frills and open at the shoulders.

”You look pretty,” Alex said as that was the first thing that came to his mind.

Emily blushed a little and said, ”Thank you. You look great too.”

”Stop complimenting each other; I need to go back to the game. I have some grinding to do, remember?” Sarah said.

”Alright, let me get that.”

Alex took Emily's small luggage and they walked out. Sarah took her car out of the underground parking spot and gave them a lift to the train station where everyone was supposed to gather.

”How's your driving lessons going on Alex?” Sarah asked.

”Umm… its taking longer than I had expected it to,” Alex said. ” I should be able to do it in the next 2 weeks though.”

”That's quite fast. Emily, you should learn how to drive as well,” Sarah said.

”I will do it later. Seeing how everything is going, I might end up having to take a break in between,” Emily said.

”Woah, you too Emily? I was thinking about that too,” Alex said.

”What? Why do you guys wanna take a break?” Sarah asked.

”The game has totally ruined the college atmosphere. The professor doesn't focus on teaching anymore, the students aren't focused, and now that the capsule is out, people aren't even returning back to classes.”

”After my exam next month, I think I will drop out for a year,” Emily said. ”You feel the same thing, Alex?”

Alex was put into a spot. ”Uhh… I was just thinking of earning more money honestly,” he said.

”Can you even earn a lot?” Emily asked.

”Of course. If I really try it, I can make a couple hundred thousand dollars a day,” Alex said.

”What? You can make that much with Alchemy?” Sarah asked in shock. Emily's eyes were very wide as well.
