Chapter 50: Journey

"You’re a player, but why are you like an NPC?" Aldric couldn’t help but ask.

"Where am I like an NPC?" the woman replied with a quiet laugh.

"There are many players in this game. Not all of them choose to run missions or hunt monsters, quite a few of them farm and trade. I’m just one of those who trades."

"One of?"

Aldric was finally made to remember that there were indeed many who were farmers and merchants.

In fact, he himself was a beekeeper and honey seller.

However, perhaps Anna seemed very different because she seemed to have become a big businesswoman in this game.

"You don’t look like the others," Aldric said.

"Are you talking about my business level?" The woman asked, laughing softly.

Aldric nodded to her. It was a wonder how she could have such a large business. Even just being the boss of this port, it was already a big business, yet Aldric felt she controlled more big businesses.

"It’s not difficult, depending on how much money you spend in this game. I bought a lot of goods from other players, and even employed over a hundred players with salaries using real money," she said, further surprising Aldric.

If she could do that, it meant she was very rich in the real world.

Only, even if she was very rich, was it really worth spending so much money on this game?

However, Aldric couldn’t question this woman’s decision because she wasn’t the only rich person using a lot of money on this game.

"Alright, I know I want you to leave soon. Just chat me if there’s anything else you want to ask," she said again while Aldric was silent.

She took another step and Aldric didn’t stop her this time.

He was just thinking, what makes rich people so serious about this game. Is there a special secret?

For a moment, Aldric scratched his hair before shaking his head.

He stopped thinking, then walked towards the tank of this boat.

On the tank, it was already written how much spiritual energy was needed to fill the tank.

It was one million spiritual energy, the same amount of spiritual energy that Aldric had to gather at the moment.

The difference was that energizing this ark could use any level of Monster Core.

Aldric casually threw out thousands of Monster Cores below Level 10, even dozens of Level 10 Monster Cores.

Crack! Crack!

He heard a sound like glass breaking inside the tank.

Not long after, he saw a green line appear from the bottom of the tank all the way to the center.

It was obviously the energy gauge possessed by the ark.

Aldric wasn’t sure how far he could travel with that amount of energy. It should last him quite a while.

His hand then pressed the red button to start the engine.

Rumble!

A rumbling sound echoed from the ark, making the floor vibrate lightly.

Although this ark might have been made in a different way, Aldric felt the sensation that he was inside a modern means of transportation made with science in mind.

After that, he pressed the blue button.

DING!

(Command received, where do you want to go, master?)

Just as he pressed the blue button, a very soft female voice suddenly echoed inside the ark.

Without thinking, he replied, "go outside the city!"

He would go outside the city himself and then wait for his real body, the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse there.

After he gave the order, he found that the ark began to move.

It moved upwards, hovering in the air like a helicopter.

Through the window, Aldric saw a clear view of White Wind City.

It was a very bright city from above, and even in the middle of the night like now, the crowd level was still very high.

After flying about two hundred meters in the air, he finally moved forward while continuing to move upwards.

Meanwhile, his real body signaled to the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse.

"Let’s go, our ark is waiting outside," he said before taking a step with an expression like he wouldn’t wait for them.

Of course, they knew that they would be in serious trouble if they didn’t follow him.

They left the city on foot and headed towards an open area about a kilometer away from the city.

There, the whale-like ark was parked and waiting.

Whether it was the Dead Fish or the Demon Horse, they stared at the ark in amazement.

’This stuff must be really expensive,’ they thought.

"Boss, is this the ark you bought?" asked the Dead Fish.

This was because he saw the ark’s door open when they arrived.

"Don’t ask too many questions, come on in!" replied Aldric as he waved his hand.

They quickly followed, looking curious as it was also their first time to board a flying ark.

A look of amazement soon appeared on their faces when they finally arrived inside the ark.

"Sit wherever you want, but don’t make any noise," Aldric told them.

After saying that, he went to the deck of the ark via the stairs.

He wanted to stay there because from there he could see the outside world clearly.

Apparently, the two robbers also chose to go on deck.

The ark had already started flying when they arrived there.

Aldric used his clone on the bridge to control the ark with commands.

It was still moving slowly because he hadn’t given the ark the order to move quickly.

Even so, it only took a few moments for the ark to arrive in the vicinity of Spring Hill.

The place that was once quiet was very crowded now. Aldric even saw several flying arks parked in the open area beside the hill.

Only, all the people gathered around the hill seemed unsure of what they should do there.

Aldric wanted to laugh because he knew he was the one they were looking for.

The Demon Horse and the Dead Fish were almost laughing.

"These people won’t find anything," the Dead Fish said in a low voice that only the Demon Horse could hear.

"He didn’t leave any traces, and now he’s leaving," replied the Horse Demon in an equally quiet voice while glancing at Aldric.

Either he or the Dead Fish were fully convinced it was Aldric.

This confidence came from the fact that he could afford such an expensive ark.

Where did he get so many Monster Cores from? Obviously from Ramsey.

"It’s too bad we’re getting attached to him, it’ll be so hard to escape. He might even say that we helped him attack Mr. Ramsey," he added.

The Dead Fish frowned slightly, but there was nothing he could say.

"Now that we have nothing, even looking for hope has become difficult. And this boy is really insensitive, I have a feeling he won’t help us to break through."
