Chapter 205: Mist instance
Next, it was probably his performance in the instance.
This time, other than the final announcement, Alexander did not actively hide his identity.
44011 was bound to become an absolute hot topic.
Alexander, the honorary president of the Fierce Ghost Association, began with two hundred thousand contribution points, eventually accumulating over a million.
Moreover, he even turned the tables on the three ghost princes from the enemy side and, through a cunning strategy, managed to cut off the arm of the Ghost King.
One doesn’t need to think too hard to realize that this story must be of high interest. This time, it’s likely his identity won’t remain a secret.
The real world now held little danger or allure for him. Except for that mysterious Selina, whose background remained unclear.
Alexander wouldn’t take the Blood Queen’s words at face value, but his intuition told him she probably wasn’t lying.
Outside the villa, the crackling sound of firecrackers could be heard, accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display.
It was probably in celebration of the return of the chosen ones.
This time, all the chosen ones gained at least a thousand points in ghost energy. Those once thought doomed to die all returned, so it was no wonder they were elated.
"Alexander! Alexander!"
From outside the gate, a doorbell rang followed by Lucy’s voice.
Shaking off his thoughts, Alexander rose to answer the door.
"I knew you’d be alright!" As soon as he opened the door, Lucy threw herself at him, hugging him tightly, resembling an octopus.
"When you were gone, I knew you must have entered that Ghost Street Battle instance. My cousin told me it was a sure-death challenge! You were lucky you met that superhero with the code 44011. "
"Um... could you let go of me first?" Alexander asked awkwardly.
"Gosh, of all the times to be thinking about inappropriate things!" Lucy climbed off him and punched him in the chest, scolding him.
"Inappropriate? You?" Alexander’s gaze briefly passed over Lucy’s flat chest and settled on Dolly, dressed in a white gown, standing behind Lucy.
"Why... why are you looking at me?" Dolly suddenly became shy, lowering her head and glancing at her full and perky chest, as if doing so could hide her embarrassment.
Alexander winked at Lucy, "Look at that. Now, that’s what you call a bust! Yours is flat as a board, probably just an A cup!"
Flat as a board?
Lucy’s expression darkened instantly. That joke was a bit too much!
"Alexander! We’re not friends anymore from today!"
Even though Lucy was open-minded, much like a man, she still cared about her physique and looks.
Clearly, Lucy was truly upset. She stormed off, kicking Alexander in the shin before leaving, without even acknowledging Dolly.
"You’ve crossed the line!"
Seeing her best friend walk away upset, Dolly, no longer shy, raised her face, which had turned crimson, possibly out of anger.
She turned to leave, threateningly saying, "I’m going to get some wine!"
"Wait!" Alexander, alarmed, grabbed Dolly’s arm, quickly saying, "Don’t be rash! I did that on purpose. I’ll sincerely apologize to her later. Remember, we’re now among the chosen."
"What do you mean?" Dolly looked at Alexander, puzzled.
Dolly, not only cute and loyal but also possessing the terrifying forbidden power, unfortunately, lacked a bit in the intelligence department.
Alexander sighed internally and explained, "We’re among the chosen one. Not every chosen one is like you, treating these horrifying scenarios as if they were bars. They’re dangerous, very dangerous! Being close to Lucy, a mere mortal, isn’t good for her."
"So, you intentionally upset Lucy? Are you concerned that if you die in one of instance, Lucy would be heartbroken over it?"
Dolly, as if she discovered something monumental, cupped her chin in fascination, "Is this what they call love? So sweet!"
"Are you a child? Why are you acting so naive? Or have you been watching too many Korean dramas? What does this have to do with love?" Alexander felt exasperated but understood her perspective.
Dolly’s reputation was well known throughout the school. After drinking, she was a terror, tying up her classmates at a party with a single rope.
So, nobody approached her, let alone dated her. Hence, her yearning for love.
"If it’s for her well-being, I’ll let it slide. I’m off to comfort Lucy!" Dolly declared and began running towards Lucy’s home.
Halfway there, she looked back, "You promised to take me to a horrifying scenario for a drink! Why the delay?"
"Soon! I promise, very soon!" Alexander quickly responded.
He was hesitant because when Dolly drank, she became uncontrollable. What if she took off his head in her drunken stupor? He had to find the right moment.
"Remember your promise!" Dolly waved her fist, "Or I’ll drink at your house!"
She then ran towards Lucy’s next-door residence.
"Dolly is not to be underestimated. I’d advise against messing with her, or you might face uncontrollable consequences."
Suddenly, after Dolly disappeared into Lucy’s house, a voice whispered in Alexander’s ear.
"Selena!"
Alexander turned to see a beautiful woman who had appeared mysteriously behind his villa’s gate.
This time, Selena was dressed in a tempting mini skirt. With her finely defined oval face, perfectly crafted nose, and moist lips that gently curved, she was breathtaking.
Her neck had a subtle glow, and her hair flowed like a waterfall. A dash of vermilion between her brows added elegance, hinting at her fiery spirit yet highlighting her soft beauty.
"Why so quiet?" Selena’s lips curled into a smile, "I knew you’d like this outfit."
"What do you mean by that?" Alexander was slightly taken aback.
It seemed like their second meeting, but she sounded so familiar. How did she know his preferences?
"Isn’t it obvious? Don’t all men prefer women dressed like this?"
Selena brushed off the topic, then continued, "I’m here to invite you to a instance."
"Which instance has you so serious?" Alexander’s curiosity was piqued.
"The Mist instance."Selena said solemnly.
