Chapter 35 Gathering Invitation
Chapter 35 Gathering Invitation
?Alex sat down on the sofa and was about to relax while watching tv when his phone suddenly rang.
Ring~ Ring~
After a momentary pause, Alex sighed.
He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID.
'Rich Kris'
Seeing that, Alex raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Why is this girl calling me now?"
Answering the call, Alex said, "Hey, Kris, what's the matter now?"
Soon, Kris' husky voice sounded on the phone.
"Alex, why didn't you go to class?"
From Kris' tone, it's obvious that she's not asking out of concern or anything but more of just pure curiosity.
To that, Alex just responded carelessly.
"What? Of course, it's because I just don't feel like it."
Kris was surprised at his answer for a second before she teasingly said, "Wow, you're even learning to skip school now, huh."
At that, Alex just chuckled.
Then he said, "So, what is the reason that you called me this time?"
On the other side, Kris exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wha?! Can I not call you when I just feel like it?"
"You can't." Alex said flatly.
Hearing Alex without hesitation, Kris clicked her tongue.
"Tch, you're boring."
"Anyway, I'm calling you this time because I really have something to do with you."
Saying that, Kris' tone changed and became more serious.
She said, "Alex, in view of your notable deed of saving the lives of the missing students, we are inviting you to a small gathering tonight to present you with a reward."
Hearing Kris' words, Alex was surprised.
But after thinking about it, he solved a problem that the official 'players' families are having a hard time with.
It even involves the life of dozens of students which is a really big deal.
That's why being rewarded for it is only natural, unless those people are people who don't know how to be grateful.
After thinking about it, Alex agreed, "Okay, send me the time and location."
Alex and Kris continued chatting for a while before ending the call.
Minutes after the call ended, Alex received a text message from Kris.
[Kris: The gathering will be held at Cherry Hotel at 8pm, make sure to come, okay? See you later!]
At first, Alex read the text message casually but when he saw the location that Kris said, he was stunned.
"Cherry Hotel? The most expensive hotel in Pearl City?"
For some matters in the city, Alex is still quite informed with a few.
Just like this Cherry Hotel which is a really popular hotel in Pearl City.
As a poor guy, there were days when Alex dreamed of going inside that hotel and eating all sorts of delicious food.
Experiencing the happiness of life that he couldn't afford was such a big dream for the young Alex.
In the past, Alex only dared to think about such things but unexpectedly, he is really about to go inside that hotel!
Thinking of that, Alex felt some emotions inside him that he couldn't describe.
It was a mix of happiness, incredulity, surprise, amazement, etc.
After a while, Alex only let out a sigh.
Then he said, "Sigh… only real power can make you stand out in life…"
Looking at the time, there's still a few hours before the designated time for the gathering.
Alex opened his character panel.

…
Alex smiles in happiness after seeing how much his level has gone up.
"Going through the Kun's Lair trial helped me level up 11 times in just a few hours!"
The joy can't be hidden from Alex's face as he thinks about it.
He didn't expect that trial would bring him such benefit.
Looking at the free attributes that he still has, Alex once again distributed them.

…
"Nice, now all my stats have reached 300 points!"
Alex cheerfully said after he finished distributing his free attributes.
Compared to when he first arrived in this Alter Dimension, Alex's stats have undergone what can be called earthshaking changes.
To this, Alex felt some pride in himself.
"In just a few days, I managed to grow to such an extent, this is all thanks to my unique skill [Sacrifice]!"
Alex knows that he doesn't have [Sacrifice], his stats won't look like this.
At most, it might be similar to that Red Bear before, even less!
That's why Alex is really thankful for it.
Anyway, after appreciating his status for a while, Alex closed it and turned his eyes back on the tv.
By the way, Alex's Luck Points also increased greatly compared to last time thanks to killing hundreds of monsters back in Kun's Lair.
[Luck Points: 402]
…
After passing the time, the clock soon ticks to 7pm.
Alex yawned and said, "Unknowingly, it's already 7pm. Time really flies by when watching tv~."
Getting up, Alex started preparing for the gathering.
A few minutes later, Alex completed his preparation.
Wearing some comfortable clothes that he bought this morning, Alex looks clean and fresh.
After tidying up his hair, Alex left the house, heading towards the address that Kris' sent.
Alex didn't bother to call a taxi or any transportation vehicle.
He bent his knees and with a burst, he started running rapidly!
At the same time, Alex cast [Stealth] on himself to make sure that people won't notice him.
The scenery flashes by Alex's sight in a blur at the speed he was going.
He felt a sense of freedom running down the streets.
He felt his blood boil from excitement and involuntarily let out a shout.
"WOOHOO!"
