Magician Online

Chapter 4: Not Sure

Chapter 4: Not Sure

Leaving the store, Aldric immediately opened the menu to log out which, when clicked, popped up a question.

(Do you want to log out?)

Yes/No!

Aldric didn't think before pressing the yes button.

DING!

(Have a good rest, player. Hurry back to this world so you can progress faster!)

That was the notification that appeared after he clicked yes.

Then the world began to split apart from his perspective.

In an instant, the scene in front of him changed to his dorm room, which looked green because of the green glass attached to the headset.

He quickly sat up, taking off the headset, seeing Nolan still lying on his bed with the same headset.

"But how much is this thing worth?"

Aldric wondered while looking at the virtual headset in his hand.

As someone who came from the village, attending college because of a scholarship, his finances were naturally very limited, even less below the standard to be called limited. He was naturally unsure about buying it himself.

After standing up, he walked out of his dorm room.

There happened to be a man around the same age as him who came out from the dormitory next door.

He was a man who also wore glasses. It was just that he was a bit skinny with somewhat messy hair and only about 170 meters tall.

"Romeo!" Aldric immediately called out to him because he was the owner of the virtual headset he was wearing.

Perhaps his appearance was not as good as his name, but he was actually a romantic man who managed to seduce many beautiful women.

When the man looked at him, Aldric quickly approached him, handing over the object.

"It's yours, I give it back," he said.

"Ohh, are you done? So fast, didn't you like the game?" asked Romeo as he received the object.

"No, I had a lot of fun in that game world, so I plan to buy myself a virtual headset. By the way, how much does one cost?" replied Aldric.

"There are many types of virtual headsets, from the cheapest at around 700 Pounds to the most expensive at up to 7000 Pounds."

"700 is the cheapest?" Aldric's eyes widened slightly at that because he currently only had about 400 pounds left in his savings and he had to save it until next month.

Seeing his expression, Romeo suddenly laughed then pointed the virtual headset he received at him again.

"Actually I'm not using it anymore because I've bought a new one. Wear it if you want to continue playing, it doesn't matter even if you wear it until it breaks," he said.

"Mmm..." Aldric felt instantly awkward.

It was one thing to have his mind read, but this man still wanted to lend him his headset.

Although the only way for him was indeed to continue borrowing it from him, he also felt embarrassed.

As he fell silent, Romeo grabbed his hand, forcing him to take the headset.

After that, he went towards the stairs, leaving Aldric alone.

"Sigh!"

He sighed when he was alone.

Actually, he often wondered what it was about him that people always treated him so kindly, even in London which was said to have a very indifferent population.

At this point, he had no choice but to return to his room, placing the virtual headset on his bed.

"Mm..." He looked at the wall clock, discovering that it was already afternoon.

He quickly changed into his sports uniform, then went downstairs to the dormitory.

It was in the city center, adjacent to his university, which was also behind the palace of the British Empire.

The neighborhood could be said to be very clean and fresh with few motorized vehicles coupled with many trees on the side of the road.

Even those who don't live in the neighborhood often come here for jogging or other sports.

To keep his physique in tip-top shape, Aldric is always exercising, sometimes jogging and sometimes lifting weights at the gym.

Today he was jogging in particular, running behind the royal palace which had high walls so he couldn't see inside.

There were several small gates open, guarded by horsemen in red uniforms.

However, even though he could see inside the palace when he passed through the gates, Aldric could not see any members of the royal family.

Of course, it was possible that some members of the royal family were also jogging behind this palace by disguising their appearance either by wearing hats plus masks so that no one would recognize them.

Sometimes there are rumors like that, but there has never been any proof.

Compared to others, Aldric runs faster while his expression seems more relaxed.

With his physique, he naturally did not tire easily.

After sweating enough, he finally stopped, drying his sweat with a small towel before going to a cafe to relax.

Even if he was short on money, he also wanted to enjoy life once in a while.

However, all he ordered was bottled water for 30 cents.

The important thing for him was to sit in the cafe, enjoying the cool air conditioning.

While at the cafe this time, there was something he realized, something he hadn't noticed since coming to London.

All the kids around his age in this cafe were actually talking about Magician Online, even including some people who were already in their 40s.

They talked about many things in the game, some boasting that they got good talents while others complained about getting bad talents so they wanted to create a new account but couldn't because the game only provided one account for one person by recording their iris pattern.

Logging into the game did not require an email or phone number, only an iris pattern so it was impossible for anyone to play someone else's account.

As far as Aldric had heard, those with good talent actually only had Class B Bodies or Wheels of Life.

Class A was already considered rare and there didn't seem to be a single Class S in the cafe.

Sometimes they would talk about someone with a Class S Body or Wheel of Life, saying how lucky that person was.

If someone with a Class S Body or Wheel of Life is so lucky, what about him who has a Class SSS Body and Wheel of Life?

He was starting to be unsure of what was really going on.
