Aunty Wang was very considerate and had given George a large bowl. Although George had a big appetite, he couldn't finish the huge portion. After burping, he let out a comfortable sigh. Then, he packed the remaining chicken into his backpack, so that he could continue eating it when he was hungry.
"By the way, let's look at the attributes!" George then remembered to check his attribute list.
However, the result disappointed him. All the attributes did not increase at all. In other words, the bowl of chicken was literally an ordinary bowl of chicken.
"However, it did taste delicious. Aunty Wang's cooking is good. I'll get some more when I have the opportunity." George thought to himself.
Although he was a little disappointed that he could not increase his attributes, he was still very satisfied with the meal. What's more, catching chickens was just a simple task. It was normal that there was no artifact as a reward.
"It seems that there's no hopes of reaching level 999 with one sword, or getting free artifacts at the beginning of this game." George probably understood that this game was obviously different from the exaggerated games he had seen on the Internet before. Upgrading wasn't as fast, and no equipment was given just like that. However, the realism of this game is far better than those garbage games. Regardless of the visuals, touch, or taste, it is the same as the real thing.
"It seems that God is really capable, since he could create such a realistic game world." George thought to himself.
After completing Aunty Wang's mission, George did not rush to fight monsters or take on missions. Instead, he wandered around the village. He was the only "player" here anyway, so there was no need to be too hasty. In fact, since he was going to visit the place frequently in the future, it was best to get himself familiar with the environment first.
It wasn't until the sun set that George murmured to himself, "If that old man didn't lie, then it's almost time for me to go."
Sure enough, the next second, his vision went black. However, his sight recovered soon, and then he saw his familiar rental house again.
"I am back?!"
"It seems that the old man was telling the truth!" George looked around and said to himself, "It's just that he said that teleportation can change my destiny, but what's the use? I can only experience a realistic game world. How can it help me in real life? He's also one kind, refusing to explain clearly and making me figure it out on my own.”
George sat on the bed and thought for a long time, but he couldn't imagine how being transported to the game world would help him in real life.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I should get up first, eat something and go for a jog." According to what the old man said, after being transported to that world, time in the real world would still passed, but the speed of passage was different. There, he could stay for 12 hours at a time, but in reality, only four hours will pass.
Therefore, when George teleported back, it was already dawn.
"It would be great if I could take out the half bowl of chicken from my backpack." Speaking of eating, George thought of the chicken that Aunty Wang had gave him.
Originally, George had kept some chicken leftovers to eat when he was hungry. However, he forgot to eat it when he was wandering around the village. Yet, the next second, George was stunned.
When he thought about the backpack, a familiar virtual screen appeared in front of him, and there were ten squares on the screen, which was exactly like what the backpack looked like before!
"The heck! What's going on?! Why can I see the backpack in reality?" George couldn't help shouting, with a ghastly expression on his face.
George thought he was seeing things and blinked hard a few times to make sure that he was indeed looking at the backpack from before, with the half bowl of chicken still inside.
George quickly tried to bring up the attribute panel, and he was not disappointed. The attribute panel appeared in front of him like the backpack page.
Then, George tried to take out the half bowl of chicken. In a second, the bowl was right there in his hands, and in it was the chicken that Aunty Wang gave him!
Then, he tried to put the bowl of chicken back into his backpack, and he succeeded without much surprise. George acted like he discovered some new toy, constantly taking it out and putting it back in, and he was having a great time playing with it.
"I wonder if things from real life can be put in." George thought, trying to put the things in his room into the backpack.
Small table, no! Hangers, no! Not even the bench!
George tried repeatedly but found that none of the things could be put into his backpack. In the end, he had no choice but to accept reality.
"However, this is not bad." George quickly recovered from the disappointment, "Now I finally know how being teleported there will help me in the real world. It turns out that things in that time and space can be brought into reality!”
George walked around the village for a long time during the day. He knew that there were mines around the village, and the mines were unowned. There were also forests with herbs and other rare and exotic fruits. If those things were brought into reality, they might be helpful in his real life.
The more George thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, and he became increasingly excited.
After a long time, George recovered from his excitement. After eating the half bowl of chicken, he went out. Not only was he energetic although he had not slept all night, there was even a spring in his steps.
George lived a stone's throw away from Jiangzhou University. Jiangzhou University was a famous school, ranking first among all universities in the province. It can even be ranked in the top ten of the country's universities. The surrounding housing prices were definitely not cheap. With such a school, even if you just rent a house, the price wouldn't be low either.
George was able to live here not because he was rich, but because of a coincidence. When he was taking the bus once, he saw a pickpocket. At that time, he had just graduated and was still passionate about life. Seeing this scene, he naturally couldn't stand aside. Not only did he yell at the pickpocket, he also subdued the latter. Of course, in the process of doing so, he also suffered some minor injuries.
However, good deeds are often rewarded. The target of the thief was an auntie in her forties. Naturally, she was very grateful to George. Hence, when she knew that he was looking for a house to live in, she rented one of the vacant houses she had to George at a very low price. This house was the exact house George was currently living in now. Although it wasn't that big a space, there were still many people who wanted to rent it, and they were willing to pay much more. After all, the surrounding environment was good and it was near the city centre. Therefore, George had always been very grateful to that auntie.
