Chapter 51: It’s Okay, I Don’t Mind
In the real world, in a top hotel in the Eastern Region.
A high-level game cabin opened and a middle-aged man walked out.
He was filled with the dignity of a superior. If there was anyone in the circle of super-rich people, they would definitely know his name.
He was the richest man in the Eastern Region who had giant industries all over the world, Hoses.
As an entrepreneur who had turned the Waltz Group into a top financial group in the world in a very short period of time, Hoses’ success was all due to his unique taste and tact personality.
Twenty years ago, he had met an official who was inspecting a small construction site. Using him as a springboard, he had joined the upper society and lived there like a fish in water. In the end, he had started gathering influence in both legal and illegal businesses and gradually became the richest man in the Eastern Region.
Today, he was tempted to try a new industry.
That was the virtual game—”Divine Realm”.
“It seems that the technology of the Federation is developing rapidly.”
“This digital world should be as huge as the real world.”
Thinking back to his experience in the game, he could not help but laugh.
He had only wanted to change the tempo of his boring life, but he did not expect that this game would reignite the passion he had when he was a young boy.
Unfortunately, he was a little old now and his skill was too poor. After playing for a few hours, he did not even leave the Beginner Village.
Fortunately, just as he was thinking of a way to increase his strength, he met an absolute expert in the game.
He was a player that all the players in the world could only look up to.
At that moment, Hoses chose to be his companion.
In the end, in a very short time, the other party brought him on a global announcement.
In an instant, he became the envy of all the players in the world.
In the period of time that he had been in contact with the other party, he had a very strong feeling that he had to maintain this relationship with the other party. This concerned his future.
Although he did not know where this thought came from, it was all thanks to this premonition ability that he could succeed today.
Otherwise, he would still be a small construction worker.
“Master, the members of the Stern family are waiting for you in the dining room.”
The old butler waited nearby and brought him a warm face towel.
Hoses took the towel and said, “Okay. Go notify Hillier that I’ve approved her proposal. In addition, assign 30,000 workers to Hillier’s company from the surrounding factories. At the same time, appoint Tog as the vice-president and help Hillier manage the company.”
“Oh… Understood, master.”
The old butler stood rooted to the ground in shock.
A few days ago, the Missy said that she wanted to open a virtual business. Master did not seem to have agreed all this time. Why did he suddenly agree today? Furthermore, 30,000 people were invested in one go. This was not a small number.
…
In the game world, after leaving the dungeon, Lorne appeared in the Beginner Village.
Before entering the dungeon, he had spent a long time leveling up his pets, so it was already very late.
After submitting the mission, he should go offline to rest.
Virtual games put a lot of pressure on the mind. Being under such a tense situation for a long time, the body could not bear it.
While he was thinking, Lorne arrived before the temple.
As soon as he entered the temple, the missionary, who was praying for the other players, walked towards him with a smile.
“Master Adventurer, I can’t believe you destroyed the minions of the Dark Abyss so quickly. You’re too powerful!”
The missionary’s attitude had changed greatly compared to before.
Lorne waved his hand, “It’s just a small matter. It’s not that great.”
“No, no, no. You’re too humble, Master Adventurer.”
“The minions of the Dark Abyss who have infiltrated the Empire are all very powerful, especially in this region. They are opponents that we cannot defeat.”
“Even so, you have eliminated danger for the village. As the missionary of the village, I should give you the greatest admiration.”
The missionary followed him with great respect, like a fanatic.
Lorne was about to go find Lorne, but he paused after hearing the words.
Then, he looked at the missionary and said earnestly, “Admiration is never as great as actual support. If you are willing to support me with dozens of gold coins, I think I will be more motivated.”
“Eh…” The missionary was stunned.
He had seen countless adventurers and dealt with countless situations.
However, this was the first time he had encountered such an awkward and straightforward adventurer.
What should he do?
How should he answer?
‘I’m just being polite. I don’t really want to give you anything!’
Although this was what he thought, the missionary could not say this against the adventurer before him, because he had completed the mission of the Light Priestess. He could not be offended.
After a moment’s hesitation, the missionary took out his short staff and said, “I’m sorry, my lord warrior. As a missionary, I have no gold coins on me. The only valuable thing is the staff that I use to pray for the other adventurers in the village. It is very important and cannot be given to…”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind that.”
Before he could finish, Lorne took the equipment from him and walked into the inner hall of the temple.
The missionary was stunned.
He stood rooted to the ground, his head spinning intensely.
Was there something wrong with his ears?
‘I had clearly said that the magic staff was very important and could not be handed to you. Why did you take it from me directly?’
Without the Staff of Blessing, how could he bless the other adventurers?
At this moment, a player stepped forward to request, “Missionary, I need your blessing.”
However, the missionary could only return with the most depressed expression. From his resentful gaze, one could see that he said, “I’m sorry, friend. I’m an incomplete missionary without a staff.”
…
Inside the temple, Lorne glanced at the equipment in his bag.
It was a Silver-grade equipment.
Although the quality was relatively ordinary, the Silver-grade equipment at this time could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars as long as it was taken out. It was not inferior to dozens of gold coins.
As for the missionary’s situation…
As a player, was there a need to be polite to an NPC?
If these NPCs wanted equipment, they could get it with just some data. How could players like them compare?
Therefore, in the future, when encountering such NPCs, there was no need to be polite to them. If they wanted to help, he would not act stupid and reject their offer.
