Chapter 106 - I Don't Stand In Queues
Liam had too many things on his mind. He returned to his room in less than an hour after finishing his dinner and ensuring that everything at home was working properly.
Mei Mei could only stare at the shut door as she had been taking a bath and missed him altogether. "Brother must be working very hard."
She wiped her hair and started reading more about the game and the different classes while eating her share of the food.
A couple of seconds later, she almost inhaled the food by mistake into the wrong pipe and coughed uncontrollably. "Liam?"
Mei Mei even rubbed her eyes not able to believe what she was reading. The current leaderboard's number 1 rank holder's name was 'Chang Liam'?
This was her brother's name!
Was it perhaps her brother who was currently the top-ranked player in the entire world?
"Should I ask him?"L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
"No. Not possible. Probably someone else." She shook her head. "I shouldn't ask such stupid things. He might feel bad that someone else with the same name as him is currently the first."
She put the plate down and sighed. "If only things were different..."
For people like them, who never had a single chance in their lives, how were such achievements possible?
"I should read more..." She quickly went back to reading about other things, scouring everything in the forums from top to bottom.
Back in the game, Liam received a surprise as soon as he logged in.
[Ding. Do you wish to enter the nether realm? Yes/ No]
He had originally assumed that he had to use the nether portal again, but it looked like this was also an option.
Liam quickly selected 'No' and found himself back in Yleka city. The city was now completely different from how it had been earlier and was jam-packed with players.
It looked like everyone who had started in the Gresh Kingdom was gathered in this city.
Kyuuuu
Kyuuuuu
Kyuuuuuu
The fox did a bunch of poses and within 2 seconds, a loud shriek sounded.
"KYAAAAAA! OH MY GOSH! You are so CUTE!" The short young woman ran out of her booth to come and pick up the small fox personally.
"Where did you come from?"
"Ahhhh~~ So soft~~"
"Will you be my cutie~~~ Ah~~~ Ah~~~"
She began nuzzling and rubbing the beast against her cheeks and the little fox became extremely terrified. Since its birth, no one had ever treated it like this... affectionately?
So it didn't know what was happening. It even became scared and looked at Liam anxiously. Masterrr...
Liam, however, casually stood on the side. It looked like he had no intention of helping it out.
In the end, the trainer's assistant was the one who finally came to its rescue. He spoke up, not able to bear it any longer. "Elder, that... everyone is watching." He reminded her.
The trainer immediately snapped out of her trance and flashed her eyes open. "Ahem. Ahem. Is this fox yours?" She looked at Liam and asked.
"Yes. I was fortunate enough to obtain it." Liam smiled politely and nodded. His plan worked and he was happy.
"I am Instructor Seraphina." The trainer muttered, still rubbing the fox to her cheek.
"If you want, I can help you examine this beast and see how you can nurture it and take care of it the right way."
Bingo!
"Yes, I would be very grateful for your help, ma'am." Liam smiled again.
Ignoring all the grumbling noises from those who had been standing in the queue for almost an hour now, the two of them walked into the booth.
