Kapitel 20: Promise

"They are really dishonest." Aldric felt like laughing and crying after hearing that, it was unexpected that a business as big as the Time Space Hall would sell their customers' information.

What upset him was the fact that they were NPCs, creatures that were basically the result of a computer program.

They apparently also had a cunning side.

"In this game, not only do you have to watch out for the players, you have to watch out for the NPCs too," Jenny said, laughing softly.

Perhaps she found Aldric's expression very funny right now.

"Why are you only revealing this now?" Aldric was starting to get annoyed.

"Come on, there's a process for us to talk. I want to talk about our reunion first and then talk about this," Jenny replied casually, only looking happier when Aldric was upset.

"Hmph..." Aldric snorted softly.

"But why would that woman investigate me to that point?" he asked again.

"Probably because she was curious. After all, the Honey of Life is something rare," Jenny replied.

"But, if you are now at the 10th Stage, you need to form the Genesis Core, right?"

"Yes, I just don't have the method yet."

"Mm, as you know, the Genesis Core is the Core of your body and soul. It is very important for determining your strength. You must make sure to get the best method. I have good information, I'll tell you later, but before that, we need to make friends first in the game."

Jenny took out her phone after she said that.

She opened the forum, searching for Dark Crow's account before adding friends.

"My nickname is Star Archer," she said.

At this moment, there were too many people adding friends to his account. Aldric wouldn't have known which one was Jenny's account if she hadn't told him.

When he wrote Star Archer in search, he found it right away.

"Mm..."

Looking at the clock, Aldric found that it was almost 11 PM.

Around 11:30 PM, the dormitory gates would be closed.

He had to go home now.

"Jenny, I have to go back to the dorm," he said.

"You!" Unexpectedly, Jenny immediately looked unhappy at his words.

"Why go back, can't we take a longer walk?" she said.

"If I don't come back, the dormitory will be locked, where I'll sleep tonight." Aldric smiled wryly.

"Come on, you're in the city, not the village. If you can't sleep in the dormitory, there are still plenty of hotels. I'll pay for it for you. Or do you want my apartment?"

"Jenny..." Aldric became awkward.

He felt more than just teased.

The problem was that this woman had openly said she wanted him.

Although this was something extraordinary, it was like the sky was falling, the weight was too much for him.

"No..." He shook his head.

"I have to go back now."

He insisted. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he wasn't ready.

Seeing that he seemed adamant, Jenny rolled her eyes.

"Well, but let me walk you to your dorm, you don't mind, do you?"

She looked intensely into his eyes.

"Mmm, yeah..." Aldric agreed reluctantly. "But you have to stop before we get to the dorms. I don't want anyone to see me get out of your car. It will cause a misunderstanding."

"Don't worry, just wait here." Jenny finally smiled.

She then walked towards her car.

Of course, she knew the trouble to Aldric if others saw him getting out of her car.

It could lead to bad rumors. Maybe someone would think he was selling himself to a woman.

Jenny naturally didn't want such rumors to fall on Aldric.

Vrom!

When Jenny got into the sports car, it began to roar, making a loud noise.

Jenny drove up to him, stopping right in front of him where the car door opened by itself.

"Get in!" she said from inside with curled lips.

She had taken off her mask, so when she smiled, the movement of her lips could be seen.

Aldric was somewhat mesmerized by the luxury of the cabin.

Only, it was too low, he was a bit unsure how to enter it.

"Sit here first, then put your feet in." Jenny didn't mind at all telling him how.

After that, he finally got into the car, quite hurriedly as he was uncomfortable with the many eyes looking at him from around.

Although it was a bit cramped, it was really comfortable sitting in the car.

The only thing that made him feel strange was when he saw how close he was to the asphalt.

He felt like he was sitting on the asphalt itself.

"Pull the door down," Jenny said.

When the door was pulled down, it immediately closed, and Jenny immediately stepped on the accelerator.

"Which university do you go to?" she asked in the car.

"University of London," Aldric replied.

"Ohhh..." Jenny was a little surprised to hear that.

"Looks like you've been studying hard since I left. It's not so easy to get into that university," she said.

"Maybe I was lucky."

"Luck is also part of ability."

"..."

Since they were not that far away from the University of London, it only took a few minutes before they arrived.

Jenny stopped the car about 50 meters from the university.

"How do I open the door?" asked Aldric when he discovered that he didn't know how to open the car door.

"Why so hasty, if it's another guy, they might not want to get off even if I ask them," Jenny said, rolling her eyes.

To Aldric's surprise, she even blamed the cabin lights, making the cabin so bright that their faces were clearly visible to each other.

"Jenny..." Aldric panicked.

"Don't worry, it's still dark from outside the car," Jenny said, knowing what he was thinking.

"Why do you want to keep me here?"

"I was just thinking, I can't help my curiosity. I want answers now."

Aldric, "..."

"I can't give you answers," he said, looking the other way.

The woman's face only seemed to become more enchanting when the two of them were in the same room, staring at her shook his heart too much.

"So you're scared." Jenny apparently guessed his thoughts.

She smiled at that.

"How about you make a promise for me?"

"Promise? What promise?" Aldric was confused by her request.

"You must be pursued by many women at the university, I want you to promise that you will not fall for the charms of any of them," Jenny replied, instantly making Aldric freeze.

Because Aldric really wanted to leave immediately, so he nodded spontaneously.

"Alright, I promise," he said.

Just after he said that, the door beside him finally opened. It opened by itself while the lights in the cabin turned off again.

Of course, he would not take this promise seriously. To his this was just a joke and he had all the rights to his life choices forever.

Aldric quickly got out of the car, then left in a hurry.

The last thing he saw was the wide smile on Jenny's lips, a smile that could be said to kill.

Kapitel 21: Read

Nolan was already playing again when Aldric returned to his dorm room.

The virtual headset had a sleep mode so that when you entered the virtual world, you would actually fall asleep but your consciousness was still active in the virtual world.

It is said that it is like a dream where you can fully control it, so it doesn't adversely affect your sleep.

Aldric also wanted to play with that mode, but his head was still thinking about that woman, Jenny, who suddenly reappeared in his life and then said that she wanted him.

He still wondered if what she said was true?

'This is unbelievable, why would she want a guy like me even after becoming a big celebrity? She's not just playing around, is she?'

The more he thought about it, the more awkward he felt.

Phew!

He finally sighed, trying to forget about this matter.

'I should focus on studying, not thinking about relationships with women. It will only interfere with my studies. I'll be unlucky if the relationship fails,' he thought, recalling his purpose in coming to this city.

It was to improve himself, not to find a lover.

However, who knew if he could resist the advances of a woman who had evidently charmed many men.

That was hard to guess.

Aldric finally logged back into Magician Online, feeling more comfortable in his own virtual headset.

It was still night in the game world, even when the sky in London became day, the sky in the game still continued to be night as it took longer before night turned to day.

Aldric's eyes scanned his stats first.

[Nickname: Dark Crow]

[Magic: 10th Stage Junior Magician]

[Spiritual Energy: 143,000/100,000]

[Genesis Core: None]

[Power: 3000!]

[Body: Ancient Sky Body < SSS Class]

He stared at the words of the Genesis Core for quite a while, pondering just to enjoy the tranquility.

After that, he started walking in the city.

His destination was the library, which was close to the city lord's residence.

It was a spacious building, full of ancient books inside.

Anyone could enter and exit the library without being checked.

It only had a warning sign that whoever stole a book in this library, they would be chased to the end of the world.

Aldric was only here to learn about the Genesis Core.

There were enough books about it, written on their respective covers that he didn't need to ask anyone.

Picking up one of the books, he sat down at the table, opened the book and started reading.

(The Genesis Core; the Core of the Body and Soul. Without this, one cannot become a Senior Magician, a level that will truly distinguish you from humans.

When you have the Genesis Core, the first change is to your body where every part of you evolves to a different level so that it can hold more spiritual energy.

And the most important thing is to do a special soul transformation.

The Genesis Core basically has no difference in level, but since one of the ingredients is the soul of a monster, the more unique the monster soul you use, the more unique your Genesis Core will be since your soul can basically transform into the soul of the monster soul you use.

It's just that, different monster souls, different methods to form the Genesis Core).

It was what Aldric read that he finally understood about the Genesis Core.

The Monster Soul of the Genesis Core, that was the most important part.

Finding a good one was already difficult, and he still had to find a method to form a Genesis Core with that good monster soul.

At this point, Aldric finally realized how complicated it was to advance to Senior Magician.

Waiting for information from Jenny was the only option or he would have to wander around aimlessly first in search of a good method on his own.

"Mmm..." When he finished reading the book, he found that Jenny's account had gone online.

(Star Archer: P!)

Suddenly a message from her appeared just a moment after she went online, and it was just one letter P.

Perhaps this was some kind of greeting, but it made it difficult for Aldric to reply.

If he asked what was wrong, wouldn't it be as if there was no topic they wanted to talk about. After all, they were supposed to be talking about Genesis Core method information.

As a man who somewhat avoided her, Aldric also couldn't directly ask her when she gave him that information.

In confusion, he ended up replying in the same way.

(Dark Crow: P!)

(Star Archer: Hahahaha... You are indeed a difficult man to play with... Damn, your innocence really helps you.)

An immediate reply came from the woman.

(I'm not innocent!)

Aldric did not accept being called an innocent man. To him, he just lacked the knowledge and experience of living in the city. If he brought city people to a village or mountain for example, it would be different who looked innocent.

(I know, I know, please don't sulk. I won't be able to calm down if my most handsome friend is sulking because of me.)

When the opportunity to say nonsense arose, this woman without hesitation started talking nonsense.

Aldric wanted to scratch his head again but realized he was in the library with many people around.

If he did that, people would probably think he was frustrated just from reading a book about the Genesis Core.

(When are you going to give me the information?)

Despite initially thinking he couldn't ask her directly about the information, just waiting for her to tell him herself, he couldn't help but do it so that she would stop saying nonsense.

(Hahaha, of course, I'll tell you. Don't worry, this is purely a gift from me, my form of support for you, I won't demand anything from you in return. This information is recorded in a scroll. You can come to the Time Space Hall to pick it up with the code 'Jsjj8892jjj2.' You will get the scroll by writing that.")
