Chapter 28
At this age, when emotions were budding, he had saved Christine from the tragedy. However, he couldn’t stop her from having wild ideas.
Carlisle decided it was best to keep his distance from Christine since his heart nged to someone else.
There was no response from Christine for a long time. He assumed she probably went offline. It wasn’t easy for her to access the internet as she didn’t own a phone or computer,
Closing the pop–up window, Carlisle navigated his “Friend’s List” and located Sarah in a separate group.
Sarah’s MSN messenger username was “Fallen Angel“.
It had been over 40 days since he last messaged Sarah. And within those 40 days, she had not replied to
any of his messages.
But Sarah had a phone and was always online.
He resisted the urge to remove Sarah from his list after a moment of hesitation. Instead, he added her to
a class group..
“Carl, go online. Let’s play The Legendary Tale!” Sean shouted from across the room.
“You go ahead,” Carlisle replied. He opened the class group and found the MSN account of the group admin, “Frosty Gal. He clicked to add her as a friend.
It was Wanda’s MSN username.
Besides Sarah, this was the second female classmate Carlisle had added on MSN,
He waited ten minutes and had no response. Then, he opened The Legendary Tale to reminisce about his
youth.
“Sean, where are you? I’ll come to you.”
Carlisle played the role of the Wizard. His current rank stood at 42, nearing the highest rank of 47,
Meanwhile, Sean’s Warrior role had already reached rank 45. Despite his high rank, he lacked equipment and struggled to make an impact in the guild.
“I’m at the Demon Valley with some other guild members. You play on your own for a while!”
Sean stared straight at the computer screen. His hands were constantly on the mouse and keyboard.
Feeling a bit restless, Carlisle decided to join the fight against the Death Lord in Demon Valley.
The Demon Valley had just been launched this year. There was a high chance for the Death Lord to drop at
Judgment.
This had drawn a significant player base to Demon Valley.
As soon as the Death Lord respawned, hordes of players swarmed over.
Carlisle casually killed several Skeleton Monsters and left the battlefield.
With his subpar equipment, he couldn’t withstand the attacks from those affluent players.
Carlisle lost interest after he played for a while.
He returned to the main server and logged off. He then proceeded to open the official website of The Mystical Journey.
In his previous life, a coworker often spent his spare time immersed in The
il Journey
With two computers and ten accounts, he made over ten thousand dollars a month.
It was noteworthy as that was in 2016 when The Mystical Journey had already lost a large number of its players
The game was at its peak from the year 2002 to 2005.
Although it was 2004 now, there weren’t many professional gold farming teams.
As the popularity of computers grew in the future, the decline of the gaming industry gradually led to the decline of game account farming.
The Mystical Journey, God of Doom 2, and Legends of Fiery Passion were the three most popular games. now. They could still make some money in the next two years.
Carlisle went downstairs to the toilet and then took a stroll around the internet cafe.
After a quick survey, he noticed there were about 20 people playing Legends of Fiery Passion, ten playing The Mystical Journey, and another ten playing God of Doom 2.
The rest played MapleStory and other single–player games
These three games were certainly still mainstream.
Carlisle bought a bottle of water and then found someone playing The Mystical Journey to join him.
Initially, he planned to have Sean join him. But Sean became too excited as soon as he started his game.
Around one or two in the morning, Kade shamelessly asked Sean to borrow three dollars to buy a
microwave meal.
Sean slapped ten dollars on the table. “Grab one for me and Carl. Use the rest to buy yourself some water! Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sure thing.” Kade went downstairs happily with the money.
In no time, he returned with two steaming boxes of microwave meals.
By then, the person who played The Mystical Journey with Carlisle had already left.
Sean switched to the computer next to Carlisle.
The two teamed up to take on the Death Lord in the Demon Valley.
Chapte
“How’s it going? Any luck with equipment tonight?” Carlisle asked casually between bites.
“Not even a strand of hair, let alone a skill book!” Sean replied irritably.
Carlisle squinted his eyes. “When things don’t go as expected, something’s probably off. I’m logging in
now. We’ll tackle the Death Lord together later!”
