Chapter 305: I Sold It

The Great Illusion pill used the person's Qi to create a face and continued staying there as long as the Qi was supplied. The higher the harmony of the pill, the lower the qi requirement.

Alex walked into the road with a different face. It took him a while to realize that he was in the south west part of the city.

He now had to walk all the way diagonal to the other side of the city to reach his hotel. Thankfully, it was only 3 PM and he wouldn't get scolded like the other day.

It took him a little over half an hour to reach his hotel. Even though he tried to walk very fast, the crowd just didn't let him.

Finally, after reaching the hotel, he walked directly up to his room. He opened the door and walked in.

Wan Li was already inside, looking at some sort of map or something when he noticed Alex. He hurriedly hid everything and brought out a small dagger.

"Wh— Who are you?" he asked while pointing the dagger at Alex. A strong pressure emanated from Wan Li that nearly suffocated Alex.

Alex immediately undid his face change and said, "Brother Wan, it's me. Please stop." The 3rd Mind Tempering realm Wan Li was a little too strong for Alex, even with his body cultivation.

"Oh," Wan Li said when Alex's veil came off and his real face was shown. "It's you, brother Yu. I thought you were a thief or something. You should have changed your face before entering the room," he said.

"Sorry, I needed to make sure nobody could see me coming here," he said.

Wan Li tried asking a few questions but Alex didn't say anything. "I will just go rest for a while, Brother Wan. It's been a long day for me," Alex said and went to his bed.

Wan Li went back to his papers and didn't bother with Alex anymore.

Once on the bed, Alex logged out.

Alex was now out of the game, but he couldn't stop wondering why the man was after him.

'How did he get a lily to begin with? Even the book in the library said its incredibly difficult. Are there others like me who can see the names?' Alex wondered.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that there were probably others with a skill like Alchemy God's Knowledge. That would mean that there were others who could recognize the ingredients as well.

He tried remembering what the man had tried to say, but his memory wasn't as good outside of the game. 'Sigh, my mind is probably connected to some sort of server for me to be able to remember everything in the game, but not outside of it,' Alex thought.

He took his phone and walked out to the Kitchen. Hannah was there already, eating some food herself.

"Oh, you're here? Aren't you going to spend the whole day in the game?" she asked.

"I could, but I didn't want to today. Anyway, what are you looking at? Shouldn't you be focusing on your meal instead of your phone?" Alex asked.

"Oh, look," Hannah said as she showed him her phone.

"My hubby gave me a few more spirit stones today to cultivate with. Shame I can't really use them since I don't have a technique. Still, I can't believe he loves me so much. For an NPC, he feels so real," Hannah said.

"Oh, that reminds me," Alex thought and immediately checked his phone. As expected 36,000 dollars had been added to his bank account as well.

"Well, it's not as much as yours, but I earned it on my own," Alex said as he showed her the phone.

"Oh wow, that's amazing. I probably couldn't even make half of what you are making if it weren't for my hubby," she said.

Alex couldn't help but smile a little hearing her call a game character 'Hubby'. He looked at the date and time while eating and lamented at the fact that the 1-week break was going to end soon.

'I hope the competition lasts no more than until Sunday. I don't want to waste too much of my classes in case I am stuck there,' he thought.

Once he finished eating he went back into the game. He didn't have anything else to do, so he spent his time understanding the alchemy knowledge he had acquired in the library.

Finally, it was time for the meeting. Last night's meeting had nothing happen in it, so he wasn't expecting much from this day's meeting as well.

Just as he thought, the meeting had nothing happening in it today as well. The production-based events were over, so there wasn't much effort on Ma Rong's side to keep these meetings interesting.

She simply told them that they could do whatever they wanted and spoke a few words of encouragement and the meeting was over.

"Master," Alex walked up front while everyone else left.

"What do you need?" Ma Rong asked.

"Actually…" he explained everything regarding today's event and told her how someone with a spiritual sense followed him.

Ma Rong was immediately concerned and asked more questions, but Alex didn't have answers either. "I thought it was for the armor I won against him, but it was more like he allowed me to win it. I do not know what is going on," he said.

"That is weird. Someone with a spiritual sense— That would mean that he used a lily right?" Ma Rong asked.

"Yes, I wonder if he found a lily or bought— " Alex stopped mid-thought. Now that he was back in the game, his Eidetic memory was back as well.

"Oh no," he said as the color drained from his face.

"What's wrong?" Ma Rong asked.

"He— When I was about to escape, he said he bought something a few weeks ago. If what he bought was the lily then… He is after me because I am the one who sold it."
