Chapter 380: Back to the Game (1/2)

Alex and Emily walked out of the train station at around 2 pm in the afternoon on a Saturday. Alex had a new suitcase with him that he had bought to carry all the prizes and souvenirs he had got from the trip.

Sarah was waiting outside the station for the two of them. When she saw the two of them coming, she walked up to them.

However, before she got close, she stopped. Alex and Emily saw her and walked up to her.

”Hey! did you have to wait for long?” Emily asked.

Sarah didn't answer and instead said, ”Something feels wrong. Did something happen on the trip?”

Emily blushed a little but also excitedly said, ”Alex asked me out.”

Sarah's eyes went wide. ”What?” she turned towards Alex, who nodded.

”And you accepted?” Sarah asked.

”Of course,” Emily said.

”Wow, finally. Congratulations to you both. Let's get a cake or something for a little celebration,” Sarah said with exaggerated expressions.

”Alright, no need to overreact. Let's just go back home. I'm really tired,” Emily said. They got in the car and went back.

Hannah was pretty stoked to find out about the news too. She prepared some lunch for the two of them which they ate quite happily.

Once they were done, Alex went to the room to freshen up. Once he got out, he decided to log back into the game.

He opened his eyes back in the formation that was still active. According to Zexi, the formation would last for somewhere between 30 and 40 days, so he still had about 3 weeks of time he had to spend in the formation.

'Did no one really come to find me?' he wondered.

Pearl appeared next to him. After seeing him not move for 3 whole days, he was happy to finally see him walk around again.

”Hey, little guy. Were you bored?”

Alex squatted and started rubbing Pearl's neck with both of his hands. Pearl meowed multiple times in response to Alex's questions.

”You wanna fight?” he asked and started hiding his cultivation base. Then, the two of them fought.

Pearl was getting really good at fighting and so was Alex. He was already good when fighting with techniques, but normal attacks were still a little awkward.

However, the constant fighting without techniques was helping him improve at a tremendous rate.

”Alright, let's stop,” he said after 3 hours of constant fighting. He sent Pearl away to do whatever he wanted to. Alex on the other hand fell into thought.
