“Hey, don’t look at me like that. I was just pulling your leg boss,” Agatha immediately tried to explain herself seeing that the boy did not like her joke.
Agatha wasn’t actually kidding. She honestly wondered if the VR-Slime card’s ‘soul energy digestion’ effect was as effective as advertised. After all, for years researchers have tried to create such a card and have been pretty much unsuccessful except for one occasion where they were partially successful.
However, Agatha lied because considering the boys’ track record he might have created a card with a ‘soul energy digestion’ effect. Not to mention he was her soon-to-be boss.
“Well, why don’t we put the card to test? Let’s have some monster meat for breakfast,” I proposed but Agatha immediately said, “Boss, no need for that, we trust you.”
Agatha said that but her eyes seemed to be eager to try out the ‘Soul energy digestion’ effect. She wasn’t alone, Aria too seemed to want the same.
“Wyatt, are you sure you want to give away such precious cards for free?” Ann asked in concern. She did not doubt the efficiency of the ‘soul energy digestion’ effect of the card. Instead, she was worried if they were to give away such previous cards for free it would be a huge loss.
Though the VR-Slime card was just an F-rank card, its effect ‘soul energy digestion’ was too attractive, and rare card apprentices would be willing to pay a fortune to add this card to their arsenal. Not to mention the auction will be attended by thousands of card apprentices meaning the boy would have to give away thousands of these cards. If one of the VR-Slime cards was worth a fortune then the worth of thousands of them would be astronomical.
Ann has watched the boy for a while now and knew that he was not the one to make a loss or do charity. So how could he be willing to just give away such a fortune? Was her previous assumption correct? Was he doing this for her? Did he love her so much that he was willing to part with so much wealth for her?
Ann knew how much the boy loved to make money, so she was moved to see that the boy was willing to part with such a huge fortune for her.
“Yes, no doubt. I have given my word and I will come through,” I responded to Ann without hesitation, and for some reason, her gaze started to annoy me, “Why are you looking at me like that? Stop looking at me like that.”
Ann got hold of herself and immediately responded to the boy saying, “Just so you know I appreciate what you are doing for me.”
“Um, okay,” I replied, not bothering to understand what Ann was babbling about.
“Wyatt, have you made some changes to VR-City or is it still the same?” Aba enquired.
Aba loved her VR experience. So much so that she had spent the entire past two days exploring the VR-City and dueling with Laura in it. She had managed to explore the entire VR-City, if not for her duels with Laura she would have grown bored with the VR-City.
Therefore, seeing that the boy had made a lot of changes to the VR card she was worried if he had the time to make chances and develop the VR-City. As she would like to continue her adventure in the VR-City. Inside the VR-City, no bodyguards followed her around instead she had total freedom to explore it as here nobody purposefully targeted her because she was demigod Windsor’s daughter.
Aba was already showing signs of replacing reality with virtual reality. In her present condition if she were to be exposed to VR-Universe then she will become the first addict of virtual reality.
“Yes, I have,” I replied without giving more details on it as I wanted them to experience the changes I have made to the VR-City for themselves.
“Can I enter it right now?” Aba was overjoyed listening to the boy say that he modified the VR-City. Unable to suppress her enthusiasm she asked the boy if she could visit the new VR City right away.
“No, the new VR-City will be open for the public after the auction,” I lied witnessing the crazy hungry look on Aba’s face. I planned to warn Agatha about Aba’s condition later. I then stretched my hand out in front of Aba asking her to hand over the VR-Slime card that I gave to her.
“Wyatt, can’t I keep the card for a little longer?” Aba asked, reluctant to return the VR-Slime card.
“No, give it back,” I said sternly. Seeing this Laura and Aria came forward to return the cards I gave them but I did not take the cards saying, “Keep it, I am gifting them to you.”
“…” listening to me Laura and Aria had awkward expressions on their faces and Aba yelled, “Wyatt, how could you do this to me? I thought you were my friend.”
“It is because I am your friend that I am doing you a favor by taking this card back. Tell me truthfully, how long have you used the VR-Cocoon cards?” I asked Aba.
“Just for two days?” Aba replied.
“You spent two days of your life in an illusion, are you not worried by that? If I let you on this path you will spend your life inside the VR-City,” I was not exaggerating, the VR-Universe created by devil merchant code was more vivid and easily addictive for someone like Aba.
“Why does it matter? It’s my choice if I plan to spend my life in an illusion,” Aba argued and hurriedly equipped the VR-Slime card in her grimoire.
“Don’t think just because you have a VR card you can enter the VR city, I will block your grimoire ID, so you will not be able to enter the VR-City without my permission.”
