Chapter 76: Roommates

"For us to meet again and again and even coincidentally become roommates, I guess it's fate." Varth smiled as he looked at Vincent. "Do you need any help unpacking?"

"Thanks but there is no need to trouble yourself."

"Sure," Varth replied.

'I should unpack before sleeping,' Vincent thought before he poured the content inside of his spatial storage on the bed, and he then started to fold his clothes, storing them in the closet, and the important things such as the portrait of his parents and the pendant he wore around his neck were placed in the cupboard near the side of his bed.

"You know you can turn on the lights. I won't bite," the voice of Vincent's roommate came from upstairs, and he ended up realizing that he was able to perfectly see, even in the dark, 'is it another benefit that comes along with becoming a one-part vampire?, he thought in his mind, before saying to Varth, "I am fine with no light as I can see even in the dark."

"Is he a bat?" Varth mumbled under his breath after he found out that he could see in the dark.

Sometime later, once Vincent was done unpacking, he laid down on the bed, accessed the online mission board of the military academy, swiped through a few boring missions that were about cleaning dishes in a certain restaurant or helping find the magical cat of a certain noble for a few minutes before he finally came across a certain mission that he found interesting, and he could also accept it as the mission was around his level, and he then said, "Hey, are you still awake?"

"Umm, yes, why do you ask?"

"Are you interested in completing a monster subjugation mission with me?" Vincent came straight to the point.

"It depends on the type of mission you are intending to complete. If it's a waste of time, I won't be going with you," Varth replied honestly. He wanted to befriend him, but it's not like he will follow him like a brainless baboon and jump to his death.

"What about a subjugation mission?"

"Who are we killing and what is the reward for completing the mission?"

Varth didn't ask about the dangers of this mission, as he has been fighting since he was a child.

"We need to subjugate a group of monsters that goes by the name of Grim Gore. The reward is good and all, but we need to provide the head of the leader of the Grim Gores to the one who requested the mission," Vincent said.

"I am up for it. Call me when you're ready." 

Vincent sounded a voice in agreement before he closed his eyes, falling asleep after a few minutes.

Meanwhile, in the room opposite to them, two young boys in their teens were having a standoff of the century.

"How could you forget about your friend at the mere sight of a pretty lady! I feel betrayed!" Nevis shouted in anger as he hit Peter with his most powerful earth-shattering attack.

After a soft pillow hit Peter's on the left shoulder, he twisted his body, landing a heavy hit on top the head of Nevis.

"What do you mean betrayal? Why are you even getting angered when it should be me who should be angry at you for acting like a wall between me and Iris! You don't know what it means for a girl to be favoring a commoner like me. With your status and looks, you must enjoy your time with a lot of beauties but she's my first. However, I haven't even had my first time. No! I haven't even kissed a girl in my lifetime!" Peter shouted as he rained a attack of pillow on Nevis.

"Enough! I understand."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I won't come in between you and her anymore," Nevis said with an honest look on his face.

"I guess I will take your words for it," Peter stopped beating him with the pillows.

As he turned around, Nevis jump-hugged and playfully squeezed his neck.

"Like hell I understand! I am still a virgin with my looks but you're already on your way to score with a girl!" Nevis shouted in his ears.

Peter's eyebrows raised.

"I understand your pain, but why must I suffer with you?" Peter said after he slammed Nevis on the ground. "Rather than bothering us, you should look for another girl. As you have seen already, Iris is deeply interested in me. You have no chance with her. Rather than hurting yourself, go for another girl."

Hearing his words, Nevis shed crystal clear tears.

Peter placed his hands on his shoulder to comfort him.

"Two times in only two days! The women I fell in love with were already head over heels for someone else. Why am I so unlucky?" Nevis shrugged and sighed, and the moment the few of his viewers saw that he was sad, some tried to cheer him up by donating a few thousand virtual cash towards him, while the other laughed so hard at his miserable dating life that they ended up donating him a few virtual cash.

After the live streaming ended, Nevis and Peter laughed at the top of their lungs as they saw the money that has rolled into their pockets, all thanks to the realistic act they have out up to amuse the viewers.

"If I knew earning cash was so easy, I would have become a live streamer years ago," Peter said as he saw a revenue of more than a few thousand virtual currency.

Even after the cut, they will earn around two thousand virtual currency.

"As promised, half of it is yours," Nevis said as he looked at Peter with an amiable smile.

"Hmm, I don't have a virtual account," Peter said as he never registered himself in the virtual world or created a virtual avatar. He didn't even have a bank account as he was only 16 years old, a few weeks away from turning seventeen years old.

"It's safe with me. The day you create one, I will deposit your share to your account." Nevis said, an honest smile on his face.

"Well, thanks. If you have a similar idea, don't forget to contact me. I won't hesitate to participate." Peter has tasted the joy of earning easy money and he was greedy for more.

"I will invite sure for sure," Nevis said. Peter was a natural actor, one he could use to produce quality content.

Nevis has gained a lot of new citizens after he passed the entrance examination.

The viewership boomed after he was slapped hard by Vincent's recklessness on the last test.

The video he just posted has earned thousands of clicks and it was still climbing.

As this was a fresh idea and one extremely funny yet sad, he believed he will hit the top of the charts sooner or later, and even if doesn't, he will keep producing top-quality content and a day will come when he gain recognization for his work.
