As it is almost 2 A.M., there's little traffic on the road, however, it was a neighborhood filled with a few nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. So, there are people walking around, not many, though.

The sudden act of Wil alerted the pedestrians.

A group was girls were returning from a party. As they suddenly heard a powerful sound, followed by the flying door, they jumped up in fright.

Not only them, a mixed group with men and women who were just out of their party also witnessed the scene.

A few of them took out their cell phones and started recording or taking pictures.

Meanwhile, Wil woke up from his sleep. 

Maybe it's due to the powerful sound generated by his kick or maybe it's due to the cab driver's screaming, for whatever reason, Wil put down his legs from the seat and looked out. He found his vision still blurry.

Grabbing his head, he stepped out of the cab and started to walk away, wobbling like a drunkard.

An enraged cab driver rushed towards him. "You brat… Stop right there…"

The girls were panicked as they felt there's going to a fight. One of them tried to call the police while a couple of guys stepped forward to make sure there won't be a fight.

However, in the next second, all of them became stunned on the spot.

Just as the cab driver was about to grab him from behind, they watched Wil suddenly ducked.

His hands then grabbed the driver's right arm before lifting his whole body and slamming him onto the ground.

"Argh…" The cab driver shouted in pain. He felt as if the bones in his back are broken. Blood started to trickle from his lips.

Meanwhile, Wil continued to walk without any sense of direction while wobbling.

Some of them hurried to the fallen cab driver to check his condition.

PC Qian, Wular city;

On the second floor of a seemingly ordinary net café, there are a couple of dozen capsules lined up next to each other.

People are entering with Chips and exiting, constantly.

Like everyone, a beautiful 20-year-old girl stepped out of the capsule. She immediately attracted a lot of guys who are waiting in line.

It's not just because of her appearance but is also because of her unique clothes. She wore traditional wear Hanfu, which is very rare to see except during the time of festivals. 

Taking the chip, she waited for a couple of minutes until another woman stepped out from the adjacent capsule.

"Let's go…" The woman said to her.

Luoyang nodded and walked together with her to the downstairs, amid everyone's gazes.

Climbing down the steps, the woman said, "You haven't played a lot today. Thought you would stick around until the morning..."

Luoyang replied, "Well, due to the war going on, there isn't much for me to do in the game. We can't hunt the monster, and the arena is also boring. No one is challenging enough. Moreover, I'm thinking of catching up morning bus. Trains and Flights are expensive, you know."

"Oh! I see…" Boss Qian sounded a little bit depressed buy Luoyang didn't anything amiss.

After a while, both of them stopped before the counter. The manager at the counter greeted them. "Boss Qian… Miss Xu…"

Luoyang handed two 20 Yuan bills to her. The café charges 15 Yuan per hour and 10 per half an hour to use the capsule. 

As the manager about to take the money, "c'mon, I already told you that you are free to play. Didn't you tell me you wanted to save up…"

Luoyang smiled as she put it in her hands, "It's alright. I saved up enough money in the past month."

"Then, consider this as a parting gift from me…" The Boss returned the money. "And I don't accept no."

"Fine." She put the money back into her handbag.

Saying goodbye to the manager, Luoyang and the Boss left the café and started walking towards the bus stop.

Originally, both of them lived together on the second floor but she sacrificed the space for Capsules and filled all the rooms with them.

Then, both of them rented a room which is located around 10 miles away.

"So, what will you do after you found that the woman?" Boss Qian asked her.

She doesn't know the story except that this girl left her village to search for a woman in the picture. When she asked her, Luoyang only told her that she's her mentor and she has a debt to pay.

The woman didn't ask further as she felt it isn't right for her to probe into Luoyang's personal life. So, she never asked her much about it.

But now that she was leaving, Boss Qian can't help but wanted to know whether she would settle there or whether she would return or something… She also wanted to know whether Luoyang would continue to play the game.

As long as they play together, even if they are thousands of miles apart, she wouldn't miss her friend.

To her question, Luoyang responded with a sigh, "I don't know…"

"Well, you can always call me in case you need help. I won't able to do much but I'll do what I can do…" Boss Qian said to her.

Upon hearing her words, Luoyang halted her steps and then turned towards her. She gave a deep bow, "Sister Qian, thank you for treating me like a family for the past few weeks… If it weren't for you, I would have starved in the streets.

If not for you buying those capsules and letting me play, I wouldn't have earned enough money to continue my journey. I'll never forget your debt…"

Boss Qian suddenly stepped forward and put her hand over her shoulder, "now, girl, will you stop saying things like that… You are the one who helped me back then. Forget about these things for a while… Since this is your last night in this city, let's go and have party. I'll take you to an amazing place."

A few minutes later;

"This is a party?" Luoyang looked at the crowd in a daze. "I thought we would go to some restaurant and have some late-night snacks…"

She didn't expect she would end up in a nightclub. It was her first visit.

The music was loud and everyone was madly dancing on the floor or drinking on the side as if there was no tomorrow.

"Uhh… I don't think this is a place for me…" Luoyang tried to get out. However, Boss Qian caught her hand, "c'mon. Have some little fun. You can't stay behind the times all for your life, right?"

As Boss Qian requested her to try one drink for her, Luoyang finally tried to take a sip of beer. Instantly, her eyes lit up.

Usually, it takes a while for beginners to adjust the taste of beer but for Luoyang, as if she was drinking her favorite drink, she drank the whole mug.

"This is good…" She licked her lips and a smile appeared on her face. "Can I have another?"

Boss Qian stared at her in a daze for a few seconds before ordering one for her.

It was indeed rare for her to see a smile on Luoyang's face but even more than that, she never expected this girl, who always follows old customs, was able to drink more than four mugs of beer on her first try.

"One more…" Luoyang put for the empty glass mug before the bartender.

"One more..." At the same time, a male voice was heard from beside her, followed by the appearance of another hand with an empty glass mug.

"Hmm?" "Hmm?" Both of them their eyes met.
