Chapter 124: IPA (2/2)

The shopkeeper said with a smile as he handed Wang Tong the access card.

”Haha, I kinda like the PA too, and I hope this game will carry on.”

”Indeed, since DREAM is already a huge corporation, it would be okay for them to earn a little lesser, but if they close it down, how am I gonna survive?” the shopkeeper carried on talking happily; however, their chit chat was forced to stop as customers came rushing in, everyone came for only one reason, which was to sit and wait for Einherjar Wannabe’s appearance.

”It’s all your fault for giving up waiting last week, there’s no way we would have missed the epic battle if you could have hung in there a little longer.”

”F**k you, it’s not me, it’s my mom’s fault you idiot!”

”So have you informed your mom about not coming home tonight?”

”Relax dude, I told her that we’re studying together at your place tonight!”

”... But I told them I was going to your place.”

The kids stared at each other, and in the end, they decided to leave it alone, no one would ever found out as long as both of their parents didn’t call each other.

Wang Tong shook his head as he saw what happened, he couldn’t believe kids were so bold these days, and apparently, he really has gotten quite popular recently.

Wang Tong was quite surprised to see the stunning new domain of PA when he logged in. Perhaps DREAM was actually earning money, but it was not enough to cover what they had invested, which explained why the board of directors of DREAM were so mad since they were expecting the huge amount of money they invested would snowball gradually. Moreover, it would be impossible for them to force the TPA players to take on the IPA players even though there was quite a lot of TPA players in the community. The corporation had tried everything, but nothing seemed to be working, not until the debut of Einherjar Wannabe.

After his appearance, somehow both IPA and TPA communities that hated each other's guts began to feel like getting to know each other. However, this could only be sustained as long as Einherjar Wannabe stuck around.

Again, Wang Tong was bombarded by his massive inbox upon logging into the PA, but today he wasn’t here to fight. He opened his inbox and realized that it needed to be cleared since upgrading would cost money, and Wang Tong had no extra dime to spend. He decided to delete those unwanted mails, but before that, he had to check his system notifications.

Wang Tong seemed to be interested in the latest system notification. Apparently, it was a summarized report of the tens of thousands of challenge invitation, and it managed to list out ten of the most unique challengers for his preference.

This was what Wang Tong wished for since he too wouldn’t want his time to be wasted on meaningless fights.

Out of those ten, five were IPA players, and the other five were TPA players, which proved that there wasn’t any symptom of discrimination in the administration. Wang Tong had no problem with IPA or TPA as both sides had their own uniqueness, and he was happy to learn from these two communities. Since he had challenged a TPA fighter last time, this time he decided to pick one of the five IPA players.

Wang Tong was impressed by the summarized report as it had the battle records and personal details of these five challengers, and the report was even attached with their official reviews.

He was immediately drawn to one of the challengers with the ID: Wings of Heaven, a thirty-six-year-old player who possessed a Dream-ranked METAL Suit called the Throne of Titan. However, it was the video clip of his fight that had caught Wang Tong’s attention, he was amazed by Wings of Heaven’s magnificent combo of punches that directly sent his opponent into a perfect knockout.

Wang Tong had been trying his best to avoid using weapons ever since he returned to Earth because he was afraid he might go berserk again. Soon, he was interested in heavy punch martial arts upon coming into contact with the Fist of the Racing Tiger, but besides learning, he was also interested in the methods of countering these punching techniques. By doing so, Wang Tong wished that he would be able to understand more about the utilization of strength and also to perceive the greater meaning of martial arts.

That was actually what Einherjar Wannabe had once said instead of Wang Tong’s thought, it was indeed something deep, but somehow it made sense.

After running a few thoughts, Wang Tong decided that today would be a day of peace as he dropped by just to check on a few things. Since he had received his double scholarships, of course, he had to give himself a treat. As for his regular fight of the week, perhaps he could do it on Sunday night if there was time. But suddenly, he remembered those few people that he bumped into a while ago, if he were to log out like this, those guys would be spending two days waiting for nothing.

Sometimes Wang Tong would be overflowing with kindness. In the end, he decided to send a mail to his soon-to-be opponent, mentioning that he would be accepting his challenge at 8 pm on Sunday, which would give everyone enough time to be prepared.

Wang Tong signed out from PA after sending out the mail, then he randomly scrolled on some other information; apparently, he wasn’t very good with having fun, not to mention that most entertainment would also cost money. Old Fart would’ve spent every single penny he had to get drunk, while most of other people would be attracted to idols, celebrities, and all sorts of movies, yet he wasn’t interested in any of that. After two big yawns, Wang Tong logged out.
