Chapter 33

Then, Roland found the idea absurd . How could there be gods in this world? It was just a game… However, he suddenly noticed a contradiction .

If this was a game, gods would be natural, but those NPCs were definitely not as simple as tools . Then, what did gods represent? At first, Roland thought that Penguin Corporation developed this game with advanced technology .

However, after witnessing the arrival of the angel, Roland felt that it was more than advanced technology .

It might be something else that was much more unacceptable .

6He heaved a long sigh, feeling that he was overthinking .

It was his habit to think more when he encountered anything . It was hard to say if it was a good habit .

4Thinking would inevitably waste his time and prevent him from making a timely decision .

It would be great if he found things out through thinking, but if he was wrong, he would only be upsetting himself by thinking .

With many random thoughts, Roland waited patiently under the shade of a tree .

The villagers dispersed after the funeral . Roland observed their faces, only to discover that none of them noticed anything unusual .

Soon, a sweaty Betta rushed to him and asked, “What just happened? I saw a pillar of light and what appeared to be a bird . Did you trigger a quest, Brother Roland?”

So, Betta saw it!

Or rather, was it visible to all players?

Roland’s mind wandered off again . It was not until several seconds later that he replied, “Falken’s soul was just picked up by an angel . ”

Roland told him what happened, and Betta listened in surprise .

Betta also fell silent after he heard it .

Roland couldn’t help but smile . Betta was obviously another overthinking man just like himself .

“This game is somewhat weird to me . ” A moment later, Betta looked at the blue sky solemnly .

1Roland nodded in agreement .

Then, the world turned monochrome, and time was up for today .

3Roland woke up in the virtual cabin . He took a shower and turned on his computer .

He checked the forum . The discussion regarding Inferior Fireball was no longer heated . The players were now talking about interesting incidents and new discoveries in the game .

There was a rather popular topic on the forum .

It had been two months since the game was launched . Many male players had tried to have sex with female NPCs .

Some of the female players, particularly those with high charm, also slept with noble NPCs easily and acquired tremendous resources .

11The topic was whether or not having sex with NPCs in the game was acceptable .

Roland found the topic moot . According to the official announcement, all the players in the game were adults . There was a reliable method to determine whether or not the user of the virtual cabin was an adult .

4Since the players were adults, they could certainly make their own choices .

Roland found little valuable intelligence on the forum . He thought for a moment and uploaded the video he recorded before with the title “Encounter with an Angel . ”

5Then, he left home and had breakfast on the street, before he went to the boxing club by bike .

5It was still morning . Apart from the staff and the coaches, there were only three trainees in the boxing club .

Roland was the fourth .

The coach was instructing a vigorous girl, teaching her how to exert strength in kicking . Seeing that Roland was here, he smiled and said, “You’re the most diligent student I’ve seen . You come the earliest and leave last every day . ”

1“I’ve paid for this anyway . ” Roland shrugged and said, “Besides, I’m currently unemployed . I have to have something to do . ”

The coach was a middle-aged man in a vest . His muscles were not too eye-catching, but he was strong and flexible . He found two pairs of gloves and gave Roland one pair . He said, “You’ve been stretching for half a month . It’s time that we start real training . However, before that, I need to test your reaction speed and combat instincts . ”

3Roland put on the gloves and asked, “How are you going to test it? In a training battle?”

“That’s right . ”

While talking, the coach suddenly charged forward and punched Roland’s left eye .

Then, Roland stepped back, and the coach missed his target .

“Huh?”

Briefly dazed, the coach raised his leg and kicked .

However, barely had he moved when Roland stepped back quickly, getting out of the coach’s range of attack .

The coach did not really kick out . He was only measuring Roland’s reaction . It was not a real fight .

“You have fast responses . ”

The coach lowered his fists and reached Roland . He said with a smile, “I estimate…”

BAM!

After a collision, Roland took three steps back, with his gloves protecting his face . He seemed rather shocked .

The coach looked even more odd . He moved his right hand back and shouted in surprise, “You definitely have dynamic vision!”

Everybody who was not blind had dynamic vision . The coach was actually referring to those whose spontaneous reactions were very quick .

2The coach punched fast but did not really use much strength .

Roland stopped and put his hands down . “You caught me quite unprepared . ”

“All right, I know how to teach you now . ” The coach clicked his tongue in amazement . “Your reactions are so quick even when you’ve never practiced before . If you had practiced when you were little, you would probably be able to fight in championships . I hate talented people like you most . It’s decided then . I won’t teach you wholeheartedly . ”

7Roland was amused . “Coach, isn’t that blatant discrimination?”

The coach laughed and demonstrated three simple moves .

Then, he asked Roland to practice the moves first .

Roland practiced the three moves so hard in the club that he was covered in sweat . He did not leave the club until noon .

He took another shower at home . After all, his sweat was sticky and made him uncomfortable .

Relieved, he turned on the computer and opened the forum .

There were a couple of pages of system notifications again .

Most of them were tips .

It’s a trending topic again?

COMMENT

Roland opened the thread that he posted that morning curiously .
