Arriving at the Club, the place wasn't very busy yet.
Looking at the clock and seeing that it was still 7:40 p.m., that made sense; from what I knew of the other world, this kind of place got more crowded the later it got.
Arriving at the door, I paid the $10 entrance fee and started looking for the college staff.
With the Club emptier, it wasn't difficult to find the large group with faces I recognized.
Searching a little, I managed to find Jake, who was standing a little away from the main group while talking to another boy.
Going over to them, even though they looked at for a few seconds, it took them a while to recognize , and it was only when I got next to them that they were sure who I was.
“Theo? Theo Brooks?” Jake asked shocked as he looked up and down.
“Bro, is that you?!” Another boy in the group, Josh also asked in shock.
While Jake was very thin and tall, Josh was short and fat, making the two the opposite of each other.
“Yeah, don't you recognize ?” I asked with a slightly proud smile.
Even as I asked, I knew why they didn't recognize .
Not only did the old never dress up for anything, dressing poorly everywhere he went and with ssy hair, whereas I was now wearing new clothes, which, although they weren't designer clothes, were still much better than the clothes I'd worn before.
As with the clothes I was wearing, you could see the muscles forming on my body, which greatly improved my aesthetics.
“Bro, how did you get... like that?” Josh asked without knowing how to refer to my change.
Before I could answer, Jake, who knew his friend, knew exactly what he was talking about.
Josh's weight had always been an insecurity of his, and seeing with muscles that had developed so much since we last saw each other was proof that I had found a way to achieve it quickly!
“Don't you rember why his ga beca popular?” Jake asked with a laugh. “I just didn't know that using Neurological False Feedback to develop physically could cause such a huge boost aesthetically...”
“Oh my God, were those muscles developed just by playing your ga? Without the effort of physical exercises and gymnastics?!” Josh asked in shock, almost shouting.
Smiling, I nodded. “Yeah, since the people who used False Neurological Feedback before my ga were only very high-ranking Players, Players who already had muscular bodies, the improvent they received because of this technology wasn't very noticeable aesthetically, but for those of us who didn't have a lot of strength in our bodies, it can work wonders with enough ti.”
Hearing my explanation, Josh's eyes began to shine.
'Maybe I've won over my first Ga Creator to beco a Player in my ga? ' I laughed ntally, imagining that this was very possible.
Even Jake was looking at with interest. Considering how skinny he was, any muscle developnt would do his aesthetics a lot of good.
Stepping closer to and speaking in a low voice, Josh asked a slightly embarrassed question. “Do you think that if I played your ga I could lose weight?”
I didn't even have to think before answering. “Sure, by my calculations, an hour playing Runestone with the Warrior Hero is the sa as an hour training in a gym, given enough ti it's impossible for you not to lose weight.”
At my confirmation, Josh smiled excitedly as he brushed a hand over my shoulder and spoke out loud. “Okay, playing Warrior Hero, I'll rember that! Tonight, your first drink will be on , Theo!”
I was surprised by this, but I didn't deny it. If he was so pleased about it, why not just enjoy it and let him treat ?
Hearing Josh talking loudly, other students looked in his direction and saw us.
Unlike Theo and Josh, who only took a few seconds to recognize , since they had more contact with in college, the other students had an even harder ti, with so not even recognizing .
Surprisingly, the only student who recognized instantly was Tyler Evans, who, as soon as he saw , had a grim expression on his face.
'Has the fear of my ga passing yours caught up with you, Evans? ' I thought, finding the situation funny.
Fortunately, he stayed with his group of friends while I stayed with Jake and Josh occasionally interacted with other students.
When the drink Josh had offered to buy arrived, I slowly took a sip of it and felt my throat burning.
'This body still has no resistance to alcohol, right? ' I realized the problem.
In my other world I was already very resistant to alcohol, often going to parties with friends, or even drinking whiskey alone while playing a ga, which was therapeutic after a day's work, which slowly increased my resistance to the point where I needed a lot of alcohol to actually get drunk.
Everything I drank went down like a very sweet juice, but in this world, feeling the burning in my throat and rembering that I had never had a drop of alcohol, I knew it would be dangerous to drink like I was used to.
'I'll control my drinking... this is probably the only glass I'll be able to drink tonight...' I thought, a little disappointed.
But I had to do it, it was out of the question to drink enough to lose control of myself.
If I was at ho it wouldn't be a problem, but doing it in a place with so many people is looking for trouble.
Thinking about the $200 I'd brought to spend and realizing that I wouldn't have much to spend it on, I decided to get a nu and look at what snacks they served here.
'If I'm not going to be able to drink a lot, then I'll take the opportunity to eat different things, after all, tomorrow the False Neurological Feedback is going to consu all those calories I ate today.' I thought as I shrugged and looked at the nu.
While I was choosing my food, an interesting song started playing and Jake looked at a girl he was interested in, plucking up the courage to ask her to dance.
Luckily for him, the group of girls she was with started coming towards us.
I was still focused on the nu looking for sothing to eat, when a female voice ca from beside .
“Hey Brooks, you've changed huh, is that the power of making a successful ga?”
Lifting my eyes from the nu I saw one of the girls who had asked for tips on her ga last week, Regina Gill, better known as Gina.
She was a pretty girl, blonde, tall, blue-eyed, well-developed body, too bad I didn't have much interest in romance.
I think being alone for so many years, rather than making desperate for a woman, made realize how self-sufficient I was without them.
But I still knew how to enjoy good-looking company, it's not like I was a misogynist.
“I guess so? Maybe the combo of everything, making a successful ga, realizing the potential within , improving my appearance, all of that together has to change you sohow.” I replied, smiling as I shrugged at her.
Gina was surprised for a few seconds by openly admitting this, before laughing.
“Really? It seems your self-confidence has increased more than I imagined.” She comnted as she ca a little closer to to look at the nu with . “Are you looking for sothing to drink?”
“Not really, I don't have much resistance to drink, so I'm looking for sothing to eat to make up for the fact that I'm not going to drink much.” I laughed as I pointed to the snacks I intended to choose.
She was surprised again at openly admitting this. “Really? But you won't think it's bad to keep up with us having only had one drink?”
“My stamina is so low that it's likely that this one glass I'm going to drink will drive crazier than five glasses you're going to drink, so really I'm just being economical.” I shook my head in denial.
“That makes sense... but who told you that I'm 5x tougher than you?” she asked, feigning suspicion.
“Ohh, although I know you often go out to places like that with the rest of the gang, that comnt wasn't ant to say that you're used to drinking a lot, but to show how weak my resistance to drink is.” I said in a soothing way, but still maintaining confidence.
Regina was pretty and pleasant to talk to, which obviously led to her becoming the most popular girl in our class, and this combined with the fact that we lived alone and she was over 21 only led to the result that she was always invited to any kind of party that anyone in our class went to.
Hearing my answer, Regina looked at suspiciously for a few seconds before letting it go and changing the subject.
“Since you don't want to drink, there's nothing I can do about it, but I also want to thank you for the tips you gave for my ga last week. I was averaging 130 Players and falling, until I implented so of the tips you gave, including the fact that the more monsters the Players killed, the more their weapons would evolve, and that worked wonders for my ga, now I have a total of 250 Players online on average per day!” She said proudly.
Hearing that, I was pleasantly surprised. “Really?! Congratulations! Do you know if the others also used the tips I gave them? I just followed how my ga was going, not paying much attention to other people's gas.”
Gina thought about my question for a mont before answering quietly. “So colleagues adopted your tips on the first day and their gas started to grow rapidly, like mine, while others were still skeptical about what you said, acting arrogant because they were above you in the college rankings, but after your ga passed them by, everyone quickly went to look up which of the tips they could apply to their gas, with so even shalessly forgetting the tips and coming to ask which tips I rembered.”
After saying this, Gina rolled her eyes and nodded to a group of students standing a little away from us.
Following her gaze, I noticed a group of several guys around Tyler, making understand the reason for their arrogance.
And Tyler, who had only been frowning before, was now staring at as if he was going to attack at any mont when he saw Gina talking to in such close proximity.
And to make matters worse, Gina ca even closer to speak in a low voice. “And from what I heard, seeing your ga getting so close to his, Tyler also asked around about the tips you gave him and finished implenting them today, trying to get as many Players as possible so as not to lose first place to you.”
Hearing this I found the situation even more interesting.
'He's using my tips to try and beat ?I think tomorrow's Rankings will be even more interesting than I thought...'
