Chapter 149 The Hub (Part I)
Constance woke up during the night and woke me up for even more sex. Before we did so, I had her eat some leftover beef. Now morning had arrived, and the five girls clung to me.
"Don't you have to go back to the orphanage? The kids there miss you."
From Constance's expression, it seemed like she had forgotten about those kids. She had mixed feelings thinking about them.
"Kids grow up pretty fast. They will forget about me sooner or later."
"..."
Everyone stared at Constance, bewildered by her answer. I knew she had changed a lot during our session, but I didn't think her core would also change.
"Besides. God has asked me to bear Charles's child."
"..."
"Shameless..."
Rose and Reina muttered under their breath. Constance stood by me, unable to leave my side. The other girl snickers at her action.
"Then are you going to follow Charles twentyfour seven?"
She nodded, saying what Reina said was true. So she does plan to do something like this? I planned to go to the hub, so that's not happening.
"Yeah... About that... I'm going to the hub. We don't know much about it, but I doubt we would be together if we went together."
Out of everyone here, Courtney was the only person that couldn't go. I had advised Reina and Nene not to go, as danger could lurk anywhere in an unknown world.
Constance's mood went down as she knew that I would leave. She was like a wife that didn't want her husband to go. Who knew I would use this as an analogy?
"Two hours."
Reina repeated the words she had previously said. Two hours was not a lot of time if you think about it. Exploring a new world for two hours wasn't a lot. I will need to spend my time wisely to get something good out of this trip.
"I know..."
Before I left everyone here wanted me to squeeze me at least once before I left. When it got to Constance's turn, she gave me a hot kiss. Using my system, I teleported to the hub. I wasn't going to deal with the aftermath.
Teleporting to the hub was different than the time I went to Linsey's office. Since the world had evolved, I hadn't seen her once. I wonder what she is doing right now.
Looking around, I saw a sign that I could read. Hub 93843. I wonder what the limit was. I wouldn't be surprised if there were millions.
Upon my arrival, the system showed me the rules for this hub. The first rule was killing was not allowed unless you had initiated a duel to take someone's life or if it was self-defense where someone else had attacked someone first.
Wait... Was this the only rule? If this was the only rule, I'm concerned about the people visiting this hub.
What greeted me was a city more extensive than the one at academy island. Even my skill didn't let me reach the end of the world.
The system's hub was built with a neo-futuristic style, and many people from different races could be seen, which was rarely seen in my world.
Two hours was my limit. There was no time for me to inspect every detail of the world. With the shops of this world being more versatile, I checked anything that interested me.
"Are you new here? Why don't I give you a tour?"
Great... A shady short, and fat guy. Don't get me wrong. I'm not discriminating against them, but in movies, the short people are always the ones to be the most suspicious. I didn't have time to entertain him, so ignoring him, I went past him.
"Wait!!!"
"What?"
"You look like you need help. And I want to assist you."
"..."
No one is that retarded... The rules made it easy to steal unless one attacked. Before this little man talks to me again. I left without saying a word.
"Fucking cunt..."
My anger meter rose when I heard his word. Does my curse count? Unless I don't kill him, I won't be in trouble, right?
Since he was already short, he shouldn't mind being smaller. Out of anger, I made him lose 30cm of his height.
The man cried in agony, realizing what had happened. His misery was my laughter. He could see the expression on my face. He knew what I did and ridiculed him for his height.
People spectating this were interested in what was happening. A commotion shouldn't be rare with the rules, but nevertheless, they were fascinating to watch.
"I challenge you to a duel to the death!!!"
The shorty yelled out in anger, demanding me to kill him. Five minutes into a hub, someone had already challenged me. What a new record.
"Why would I do that? I have nothing to gain."
Of course, I wanted to fight. I wanted to gain the maximum profit once we finished the fight.
"Gukakaka!"
"I knew it. You're a noobie from a second-rank world. If you kill someone from a duel, all there stuff becomes yours."
That was good news. I wonder if someone would fight to the death with anyone all day. This was the wealthiest way to obtain their loot.
"What about the city? It would be a shame to destroy it."
"Dumbass, when we initiate a duel, not even the people could get hurt. The system would only lock us in a duel where we could hurt each other."
This gremlin was starting to act like the tutorial. He gave me enough information, so I didn't need him to explain anymore.
"I, Zalga! Challenge you! By the system's name! I would like to request a death match!"
Do you need to chant that to make a duel? It's not bad, but it gets tacky.
[Challenge Intitated]
[Zalga Has Challenged You Into A Death Match]
[Do you accept?]
"Do you need to chant that for the system to make a duel request?"
"Of course you do! Accept the match!"
