Chapter 137: Chapter 137 - A Day at University

Leon sat in the car driven by Alfred, staring at his phone's date: October 1, 2035. It was September 2, just 29 days ago. The date reminded him of when Bob fired him from the store. That moment marked when everything in his life began to change.

"In just one month in the real world, so much has happened in the game world," he thought aloud. "No wonder people are starting to lose touch with their real lives."

The car came to a halt in the parking lot. Leon opened the door and stepped out. "Thanks, Alfred."

"Leon," Alfred called after him.

"Yes?" Leon responded, turning back.

"I have another task to handle later this afternoon, so I might be late picking you up. Would you mind taking a taxi if I'm delayed?"

"Of course, it's fine. Have a nice day, Alfred."

"Have a nice day, too, Leon."
