"Whatever man, I need to leave this academy," Lynx shrugged.
"Again? You visiting a brothel or going away for another month or two," Daniel teased, grinning.
Lynx laughed, "nah bro, I’m just visiting my aunt, I’m really broke right now. I’ll be back before tomorrow night or Wednesday morning."
"Okay, but hey are you good at this game? Can’t wait till tomorrow and Peter seems angry tonight," Daniel pointed at the monitor.
’I need money to go to Isabel’s place and I can’t run there this night, I don’t even know the address, I’ll just ask the system later’ Lynx grinned inwardly.
"I don’t play games much, but I could try. Hey you could give me some money if I help, to book a night ride to her place," Lynx walked towards Daniel’s setup.
"Yeah sure, help me win or survive till the last 10 survivors and I’ll give you 200 H-Crystals," Daniel stood up from his gaming chair and let Lynx sit. He looked hopeful.
"What’s the name of this game?" Lynx seated comfortably on the seat and stretched his fingers. They cracked.
"Apex Warzone."
"Cool game name, never played it but let’s see," Lynx said, eyes already scanning the screen.
’System you know what to do’
[Become the Living Cheat of All Shooting Games. 4000 APS Points]
’Buy’
Lynx felt something stir in his body. Knowledge flooded in. Maps. Angles. Recoil patterns. His eyes dazed for two seconds before regaining composure. They flickered faintly.
"Are you alright bro?" Daniel asked, concerned. He saw Lynx’s eyes go unfocused before they shined.
"Yeah I’m more than okay. Let’s start the game shall we," Lynx grinned. He could see it. Every flaw in the game, every enemy hideout, how to combine skills, how to shoot and move like a pro gamer. He was killing and moving insanely. Headshots. No misses.
Daniel just watched the computer screen with wide eyes. His mouth was open. "Bro... how can someone play like this, even the pro gamers online don’t play this way." He looked at Lynx, then the screen, then Lynx again. "No way this is your first time playing this game bro." His voice was shaking.
Lynx laughed, leaning back in the chair. "Believe what you want, it’s really my first time. Maybe I’m a natural." Within 5 minutes in the game. It was over. Lynx killed 90 players out of 100. The victory screen popped.
"Done bro," Lynx started standing up, but he was held by Daniel. Daniel’s eyes were desperate.
"Please man, I’ll give you 500. Just play one more game."
Lynx wanted to disagree but Daniel was practically begging him. He sighed and slumped back on the chair. "Fine"
......
Lynx was out of the academy now, walking to the main road, where cars drive. Night air was cool. He easily avoided the guards at the academy gates. He could have run to his aunt’s place easily, but he’s too lazy for that and he loves the cars in this world.
He stopped a car. The headlights hit his face.
"I’m heading to this address," Lynx showed the driver his aunt’s address on a scrap paper.
"Okay, that’s a bit far but get in. That’ll be 100 H-Crystals," the driver said, looking him up and down.
"Here you go man," Lynx handed the money over and seated comfortably. While in the car he was cussing his system inwardly. He bought the address information from the system and now he’s left with 21000 APS Points. ’Fucking cheater’.
Few minutes later.
The car pulled up to the big house his aunt stays in. Big gates, lights on. He thanked the driver and walked to the gate. He leaped over the gate in one jump, landed silently. Walked to the door and pressed a small blue machine at the door. The machine scanned his face.
Beep.
He heard the commotion inside. Probably one of the maids went to report to his aunt that he’s at the door.
The door opened.
Isabel came down and opened the door. Her jaw dropped. Her eyes were wide.
"Lynx." Her voice was soft. Shocked.
"Aunt Isabel, I missed you," Lynx smiled.
