Chapter 31: Five dollars lost…
Alice nodded, feeling content as her friend agreed, "The first challenges will be boring because most players suck! We should wait for the real talents to erge from these challenges before forming our party.
I still think we don't need fake players, though!" Alice kept nodding, sharing her draconian wisdom.
Max rolled his eyes, "Alright, you don't have to act smart. I made a mistake, and I agree with you. But doesn't it sound good? An army of your own players that you can exploit on your own… I feel our fake persona will get exposed if we keep winning in the ga."
At that ti, Zamira approached them, adding her thoughts, "It's best to join one of three families first and then leverage their information network.
No matter how strong we are, their sphere of influence will always be better until you take over the Earth's players' society." Zamira explained.
And as that sounded nice, Max shook his head, "I'm not cut out to be a leader, and I won't stay on Earth anyway.
Still… Couldn't you tell about it earlier? I made myself a fool, didn't I?" Max clicked his tongue as he stared at people whose futures surely would remain fake players unless they found so lucky inheritance.
Zamira chuckled, "But we got a good show because of your inexperience, didn't we?" She pointed at players who were beneath the rat's feet. The tank had his heart pierced by elongated teeth, and his shield and armor were broken.
He searched for Max and his girls. And when he found them gazing at them from the safe spot, his expression grew uglier.
Zamira waved her hand at him while Alice laughed out loud.
As Max stared at their reactions, he whispered, "Aren't you two too cruel?"
Zamira stopped waving, blushing faintly, "Just a little… It's not easy to survive with a kind heart…"
Alice had a more carefree reaction, "Ah, who cares? I am not cruel to my sister and my family, and that's how I am shaped! It's my dragon soul, and I am proud of it!"
"You say your reactions are genuine, coming straight from the heart. So as you act on your feelings, not trying to act differently, you are honest with yourself, hence the proud dragon soul?" Max read the water girl's heart.
And as he was right, Alice smiled brightly, confirming his words, "It's who I am! I won't be nice to so boring people who don't know their place!"
"Yeah, I rember how you wanted to punish the delivery man," Max shrugged, no longer pursuing the topic.
But as Alice blushed, she complained, "It was his odd sound."
"It's the door's bell," Max shook his head with disbelief, for this girl didn't want to learn anything, yet she was already well-versed in phone and TV!
"How can it be door's bell if it only rings when the delivery man cos?" Alice looked at Max with narrowed eyes.
He inhaled deeply, not believing his ears, "And who else other than delivery cos to my house?"
"Hmm…" Alice didn't believe him yet!
And while these two talked, Reros and his party were on the brink of dying.
Reros managed to find Max and his girls, "Help us! What are you doing?!"
That was when Max lifted his hand, making a swatting motion. It was the sa gesture he did before, but it held much more aning now, telling Reros that sothing was really off.
He died without learning the truth.
After all the fake players died, the boosted rat shifted his eyes to Max. That was when Zamira raised her hand, forming a highly lethal fireball. Her skill pierced through the rat's head, taking him down in one go.
He then went on fire, his body lting.
Max sighed, "It's too early for promising fake players to pass the challenge. We have to take one week's break in the real world. I will count on you, Zamira. I will visit my soul a few tis during this break."
"Yes," Zamira nodded happily.
"If we had fake players passing the trial with us, we wouldn't have raised suspicion of three families or anything like that," Max sighed, thinking a little better about himself, for his initial idea was not that bad.
It was just hard to find excellent and potential players in a short ti.
Zamira laughed, "It was a good try."
Alice crossed her arms, "What will I do, though? I don't want to watch movies alone."
Max causally threw so idea, "Read so books then."
"Hmm… I guess I will," Alice nodded, thinking that so romance books would make her heart flutter and hot.
Later that day, Alice dozed off while reading the book. She drolled on it, aning Max's random idea cost him five dollars!
She didn't even read a few pages…
