Chapter 21: Read
Nolan was already playing again when Aldric returned to his dorm room.
The virtual headset had a sleep mode so that when you entered the virtual world, you would actually fall asleep but your consciousness was still active in the virtual world.
It is said that it is like a dream where you can fully control it, so it doesn't adversely affect your sleep.
Aldric also wanted to play with that mode, but his head was still thinking about that woman, Jenny, who suddenly reappeared in his life and then said that she wanted him.
He still wondered if what she said was true?
'This is unbelievable, why would she want a guy like me even after becoming a big celebrity? She's not just playing around, is she?'
The more he thought about it, the more awkward he felt.
Phew!
He finally sighed, trying to forget about this matter.
'I should focus on studying, not thinking about relationships with women. It will only interfere with my studies. I'll be unlucky if the relationship fails,' he thought, recalling his purpose in coming to this city.
It was to improve himself, not to find a lover.
However, who knew if he could resist the advances of a woman who had evidently charmed many men.
That was hard to guess.
Aldric finally logged back into Magician Online, feeling more comfortable in his own virtual headset.
It was still night in the game world, even when the sky in London became day, the sky in the game still continued to be night as it took longer before night turned to day.
Aldric's eyes scanned his stats first.

He stared at the words of the Genesis Core for quite a while, pondering just to enjoy the tranquility.
After that, he started walking in the city.
His destination was the library, which was close to the city lord's residence.
It was a spacious building, full of ancient books inside.
Anyone could enter and exit the library without being checked.
It only had a warning sign that whoever stole a book in this library, they would be chased to the end of the world.
Aldric was only here to learn about the Genesis Core.
There were enough books about it, written on their respective covers that he didn't need to ask anyone.
Picking up one of the books, he sat down at the table, opened the book and started reading.
(The Genesis Core; the Core of the Body and Soul. Without this, one cannot become a Senior Magician, a level that will truly distinguish you from humans.
When you have the Genesis Core, the first change is to your body where every part of you evolves to a different level so that it can hold more spiritual energy.
And the most important thing is to do a special soul transformation.
The Genesis Core basically has no difference in level, but since one of the ingredients is the soul of a monster, the more unique the monster soul you use, the more unique your Genesis Core will be since your soul can basically transform into the soul of the monster soul you use.
It's just that, different monster souls, different methods to form the Genesis Core).
It was what Aldric read that he finally understood about the Genesis Core.
The Monster Soul of the Genesis Core, that was the most important part.
Finding a good one was already difficult, and he still had to find a method to form a Genesis Core with that good monster soul.
At this point, Aldric finally realized how complicated it was to advance to Senior Magician.
Waiting for information from Jenny was the only option or he would have to wander around aimlessly first in search of a good method on his own.
"Mmm..." When he finished reading the book, he found that Jenny's account had gone online.
(Star Archer: P!)
Suddenly a message from her appeared just a moment after she went online, and it was just one letter P.
Perhaps this was some kind of greeting, but it made it difficult for Aldric to reply.
If he asked what was wrong, wouldn't it be as if there was no topic they wanted to talk about. After all, they were supposed to be talking about Genesis Core method information.
As a man who somewhat avoided her, Aldric also couldn't directly ask her when she gave him that information.
In confusion, he ended up replying in the same way.
(Dark Crow: P!)
(Star Archer: Hahahaha... You are indeed a difficult man to play with... Damn, your innocence really helps you.)
An immediate reply came from the woman.
(I'm not innocent!)
Aldric did not accept being called an innocent man. To him, he just lacked the knowledge and experience of living in the city. If he brought city people to a village or mountain for example, it would be different who looked innocent.
(I know, I know, please don't sulk. I won't be able to calm down if my most handsome friend is sulking because of me.)
When the opportunity to say nonsense arose, this woman without hesitation started talking nonsense.
Aldric wanted to scratch his head again but realized he was in the library with many people around.
If he did that, people would probably think he was frustrated just from reading a book about the Genesis Core.
(When are you going to give me the information?)
Despite initially thinking he couldn't ask her directly about the information, just waiting for her to tell him herself, he couldn't help but do it so that she would stop saying nonsense.
(Hahaha, of course, I'll tell you. Don't worry, this is purely a gift from me, my form of support for you, I won't demand anything from you in return. This information is recorded in a scroll. You can come to the Time Space Hall to pick it up with the code 'Jsjj8892jjj2.' You will get the scroll by writing that.")
