"Hahaha... A girlfriend? You must be kidding me. Have you seen me? Do you really think that I can have a girlfriend? Iâm a gamer, and my games are my girlfriends. No real girls allowed." Shu started laughing loudly as he heard his question.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI canât blame him. I myself never had a girlfriend, so I can sympathize.â Ryder gazed at Shu with sympathy.
There was only one thing that he couldnât understand. The guy didnât have a girlfriend, and there was no girl here. Which girl should he protect him from?
âIs this a trick mission? Is this Janusâ scam to take away my hard-earned origin points?â He thought.
It looked like Janus heard his thoughts as it finally decided to reply to him.
[The system isnât a scammer! All the missions are valid, and reward and punishment are decided based on the difficulty.]
"Yea, right. Sorry for doubting you. Hey, wait a minute. Why should I be sorry? Youâre the one who is giving such strange missions." He let out casually. He felt like he had hurt Janusâ feelings.
Time kept passing slowly, and it was already 3 pm. Only one hour was remaining for the sale to officially begin.
The line that only had 50 people in the morning now had close to a thousand people waiting to get the game.
Even the cops were present at the place to maintain the order.
Another hour passed, and finally, the sale had begun. He was at the 41st number in the line now, which kept shortening as the people ahead of him kept getting Divinity VR glasses and leaving. In about 20 minutes, he was 3rd in the line.
It was at that moment that a girl came towards them. Well, It would be more appropriate to say that she came towards Shu, who was the second in line.
The girl was quite beautiful with a round face and a curvy figure. Although her breasts were small, her perky butt made up for it.
"Ah... sir, I apologize for intruding, but I am a little late. Can you please allow me to stand in front of you in the line so that I could hurriedly leave? I need to go to an important meeting." The girl told Shu in a gentle tone.
âAh, Now I get it. This girl was the one Janus was talking about. Itâs quite stupid now that I think about it. However, I must say that this task is quite simple. Itâs like a free reward. Thanks, Janus, maybe youâre not so bad after all.â Ryder let out with a smile as he looked towards the girl. He had forgotten that Janus had given him a mission that could cause his death.
"Ahh..." Shu was clearly struggling to answer. He really wanted to get the Divinity VR glasses as soon as possible, but he didnât have it in himself to deny a beautiful girl.
"Sorry, Miss, but thereâs no space for you here. Why donât you go stand at the back of the line and wait for your turn?" Ryder tried to sound like a badass as he said to the girl.
"You... Iâm not talking to you! Stay silent and donât interfere." She said to Ryder with an attitude.
"Hey little girl, Iâm trying to act like a good guy, donât think you can talk to me like that. Heâs a brother of mine, and of course, I can interfere in his matters! Who the hell do you think you are to come at the front of the line without making any effort!"
"All of us have been standing in the line for hours and finally got here, and you... you just came and want to take advantage of my brother. Do you really think that you are too beautiful? Get the hell out of here before I complain about your behavior to the cops." He said as his tone kept getting louder and louder, the more he talked.
Even some people behind him started supporting him and voicing their opinions.
"Does she really think that she can take advantage of us gamers because sheâs a girl? We want equality! Gamers have rights as well! We have feelings too! Iâll start a movement for us gamers to stop such harassment against us. We deserve rights, as well." A person behind him started saying out loud.
âWhat the hell is he talking about? A movement to stop harassment of us gamers? Some people get too serious.â Ryder had a wry smile on his face as he heard the chant of âwe want equality.â
â Isnât it too overboard?â â He thought.
"You! Very well!!! Do you even know who I am? You donât know who you have messed with! Donât you dare run."The girl said as she fumed with anger. She turned back as she left.
"Oh man, Was she someone with a high position? Janus, you bastard! I praised you for nothing! 5 origin points for taking care of the girl and the trouble that follows after! Youâre too cheap!â He cursed in his mind.
