Chapter 236: Raise the Bar (2/2)
”True that. I do need to focus on my cultivation. Should I not have discovered the ice GN force, Li Ruoer would have already killed me.” Wang Tong's heart raced even thinking about Li Ruoer's crazed laugh.
”I am impressed. Unlocking the special attribute means that you have already reached level five. You have learned a lot from that Arctic trip, but you still need to practice your special ability in real combat.”
Wang Tong knew Mr. Wannabe was right. So far, the coldness from five of his GN nodes could only alter the temperature but could not do any real damage. What made it worse was that the cold effect could only be triggered when Wang Tong's life was under threat, which meant that Wang Tong could never have full control over it. Wang Tong realized that he needed to first focus on gaining more control over the cold effect.
”The cold effect only happens when I feel my life is under threat. But, where could I find the opponent who could do that to me? Definitely not in Ayrlarng.” Wang Tong pulled his hair as he spoke with frustration.
Wang Tong was right; danger was not that easy to come by in a controlled environment.
”Why don't you try the PA system? Crank up the realism to 120 percent.”
”That's suicidal! No one would accept the battle request anyways.”
”Well just ask! Based on your popularity right now, I don't think it would be a problem.”
Wang Tong nodded as he agreed with Mr. Wannabe. Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, ”What about Lie Jian? He is the heir of House Lie and the best at using the Tactics of the Blaze. Don't you think that it will be easier for him to draw out my cold GN force? You know, ice and fire.”
”I guess so. Heck, I haven't seen a good fight for so long. Based on your description, it sounds like it is going to be an uphill battle for you. It would be a good opportunity to see exactly how much stronger you have gotten.”
”I have just reached level 5. I suspect that Lie Jian has already reached the peak of level 5 if not even higher.”
”Great! I can't wait to see you’re a*s getting handed over to you! Haha”
”Hehe, don't draw your conclusion so soon. It's not that easy to defeat me.”
The two started laughing. They didn't care about the outcome of the match. As long as it served as good practice, it would be a good fight.
Wang Tong took action right away. He rushed to the Dream Heaven, the virtual café that he hadn't visited for a while. He was surprised to find out the owner had installed a statue of a mascot at the entrance.
As Wang Tong walked into the virtual cafe, he saw the place had been completely renovated, and looked much cleaner and spacious.
”Hi, Is this your first time here?”
”A receptionist? How much money did the owner make? ” Wang Tong thought to himself.
”No, here.” Wang Tong gave the receptionist his membership card.
”You are the VIP member. Terminal number 5 please.”
”Ah...Ah...ha! Isn't it my lucky..Er... Wang Tong? How are you doing! Long time no see! ”
”I'm doing great. You have a good memory.”
”Of course! Did you see my new café? I have renovated everything. Make sure you tell your friends, OK?”
”Sure thing!” Wang Tong nodded. The owner had been kind to him, so he thought he shouldn't refuse the request.
The receptionist's eyes were filled with admiration. Finally, she had met the ”lucky charm” her boss had been talking so much about.
When Wang Tong walked into room number 5, he saw that the small room had also been fully renovated. There was even a juice machine right next to the terminal. It suddenly occurred to Wang Tong that a cup of juice would have cost more than what he had paid.
”How generous, but what a bad business decision.” Wang Tong muttered to himself.
Outside the room number 5, the owner too, muttered to himself. ”Thank God, my lucky charm has returned!”
