Chapter 95

He talked idly with his two friends at the cold bar until around eight at night . He rode home slowly on a bike .

After he showered, there was still around one hour before the servers opened . Roland habitually opened the game forums and discovered that the collapsed forums had already been fixed .

Players were still furious, but there were a lot less sheep-herding posts, and posts containing rational discussions were gradually starting to appear . There were already many people who were speaking for Roland .

Roland let out a slight sigh of relief . He started to search for strategy posts in the forums .

This time he focused on insight posts about selections of class sub-branches at level five . Now the majority of players who reached level five were of the warrior class .

This class was simple and rough . There was no need to overthink things: simply learn a basic military sword technique and fight . They had powerful vitality and strength, and even without equipment, they could wrestle with monsters . If they had good equipment, they would be ridiculously strong .

For example, Principal Huang had a set of low-level magic equipment, learned basic military sword arts, and a convenient slashing specialty, and so he was able to cut down werebears, goblins, and other evil creatures in the forest like vegetables .

These monsters couldn’t even break through his armor . Principal Huang would upload his own battle videos every day . He was quite high-profile .

Eliminating monsters quickly, having strong survivability, and completing quests highly efficiently, one’s leveling speed would naturally be fast .

Comparatively, Mages were pitiful… Although they could level up by learning spells, were spells easy to learn?

And learning magic was a very dangerous matter . Any mistake could result in a head explosion suicide .

Currently, the average level of mages was level two, Roland being the highest . Only after completing one main dungeon quest was he approaching level five .

Although there were no strategy guides for mage class sub-branches at level five, he could check out the other classes and borrow insights to help make his own choice .

After reading for a while, Roland suddenly remembered to put the derivative spell model of Language Proficiency on the forums and @ the deputy director at a data center, explaining his doubts and asking him to help take a look . He wanted to combine Language Proficiency and Character Proficiency, but he always fell one step short, unable to find the crucial point .

After publishing the model, Roland looked at the time . It was almost ten at night, so he changed into pajamas and lay down inside the immersive cabin .

Shortly, the gray game world brightened and the frozen time flowed again .

Roland went outside the city and found Hawk, who was still commanding the beggars .

The construction site was in full swing and almost everyone was working, shouting work chants . There were also blue Hands of Magic that floated around carrying heavy objects .

And Roland discovered that the number of workers seemed to have increased a little .

“It seems like you guys are progressing smoothly…” Roland laughed .

Hawk looked at the dozen single-story houses that had been built and smiled gratifyingly . “It’s on the right track . But with more people, the more food we consume, and we don’t have a stable source of food… So, where are your gold coins?”

“Here, eight gold coins . ” Roland took them out from his Backpack and handed them over to Hawk .

Hawk took a brief glance and stored the gold coins into his Backpack . Then he said, “When the game time is over today, I’ll transfer the money through the forums, at market price as usual . ”

Roland was somewhat happy that another hundred thousand soft girl coins were going into his account .

Only when people have money will they have the confidence to do things, and do them with ease .

1Roland, who was in high spirits, continued, “There’s another matter I’ve come over for this time . ”

“Say it, I’ll definitely help you if I can . ”

“Help me monitor the mayor’s son John . ”

Hawk’s hand trembled for a moment . Hawk turned to look at Roland and asked in a low voice, “What are the odds that it’s him?”

“At least fifty percent . ” Roland lowered his voice and said, “At first, I didn’t suspect him, but he has done too many petty little things . ”

“I see . ” Hawk nodded in response . “I’ll send some shrewd beggars along the main roads to keep an eye out for John’s movements . ”

“Sorry to trouble you . ”

“You’re welcome . It was your idea to recruit beggars as assistance, I should be the one thanking you . ” Hawk looked at the sky and suddenly had a gloomy look on his face . ” John is the mayor’s son . What are you going to do if it’s him?”

“What else can I do? Run up recklessly from the front and beat him to death . ” The numerous skeletons in the cave made Roland feel uncomfortable even now . “The real murderer does not deserve to live in this world . ”

1“The mayor of the city is different from the little nobles I dealt with before . When his army comes back, there will be thousands of regular soldiers . ”

“I’m still killing him . We’ll just leave the city afterward . ”

1Hawk smiled . “Count me in . ”

Roland shook his head . “No, this is my mission . ”

Hawk’s expression was quite bitter at this moment . “You don’t think of me as a friend?”

“Just an acquaintance, not a friend . ”

1Upon hearing this, Hawk’s expression suddenly became twisted, not in indignation, but in disappointment with a little bit of distress .

Seeing his appearance, Roland immediately said, “Just kidding, it’s just that it’s not suitable for you to act recklessly again . ”

“What makes you say that?”

“Betta and I have nothing to worry about . We’ll leave after the kill . If the mayor is that mighty, then he can chase us all over the world . Even if we are killed, we can come back to life . It doesn’t matter . ” Roland patted Hawk on the shoulder and explained, “But you’re different . You are now the leader of a small group . If you’re involved in this, and the mayor investigates you, you can revive or walk away . However, these beggars who’ve found a new way of life, or in other words, normal people, what will they do? There is no way they can come back to life . ”

1Hawk rubbed his face and said somewhat disappointedly, “I understand . I’ll distance myself from you at all costs, then . ”

“As it should be . ”

Soon after, Roland called over Vivian and the other magic apprentices, and said, “You guys can go back to the Magic Tower now, but I personally hope that you can come and help if you have time . You can get money and train your magic control, killing two birds with one stone . ”

The magic apprentices naturally listened to Roland’s instructions .

Roland and the other two frightened Bard so terribly yesterday . Roland thought that Bard wouldn’t stir up any trouble for a while, so the apprentices could go back and continue living and studying at the Magic Tower .

When Roland returned to the Magic Tower with a group of magic apprentices, he discovered another group of people standing in front of the tower .

Bard, in gray magic robes, stepped forward to meet Roland with a dry smile . “Mr . Roland, let’s begin the magic ownership review . ”

1Roland raised his eyebrows, rather surprised . “You’re actually willing to conduct a magic review? I thought you guys would take a lifetime to do so . ”

2Bard looked a little upset, but he smiled with difficulty . “How could that be! We always do things directly and efficiently . ”

1“Is that so?” Roland faked a smile .

The young noble next to him had so much pent-up anger that he wanted to step out and berate Roland, but he took a look at his friend and held back from doing so .
