Chapter 168: Herbology



The weeks flew by.

It was history week, thus the classes were all about the history of the New World.

While it was interesting for other students, Adam basically shut down his brain for those classes and barely paid attention, but he was thinking about his future plans.

Eldertree Institute had Christmas holidays, and during those holidays, there weren't any classes or mandatory attendance, so the students could do whatever they wanted.

While the students spent the time back in the real world, having fun with Christmas, Adam planned to visit the New World without any overbearing restrictions.

However, it was currently the fifth month of the year, and the Christmas holidays were still seven months ago.

On the other hand, his auction item had broken the 70,000 Shinecoin barrier.

It was slowing down, but the amount was still increasing with each passing day.

It was fun to see the money increase like that, as it felt like his bank account was swelling each day.

However, he doubted he could earn enough to pay the whole Z Package.

There was no way anyone would pay three million Shinecoins for the dagger, so during Christmas holidays, he planned to go do some treasure hunting to pay off the package.

Since there was still a lot of time before then, Adam focused his attention on strengthening himself.

At this very day, all the classes and the dinner had ended.

The gym was active with people working out.

At the furthest corners of the gym, where it was peaceful and quiet, Adam did biceps curls, the warm sweat rolling down his forehead.

The daily training had not been naught, as he could feel his muscles getting stronger with each repetition.

"Whoo..." Terry let out a satisfied sigh as he finished his final set of bench presses.

He then sat up on it, took his towel, and wiped the sweat away.

For the past week, he'd been joining Adam in the gym, and at first, it was almost like torture, as every morning his body was screaming in pain, even though it was just his virtual body.

However, for some odd reason, his real body was feeling way better, like he was living in bliss.

Adam explained that it was the magic of the workout and the Platinum Virtual Reality Pod. If you trained in the Mortal Online, its effect would reach the real body, and you would feel the physical benefits in no time.

It was surprising to Terry as he had no idea.

The other ranked pods didn't have as strong of an effect; that's why the Platinum VR Pod was a must-have, as its benefits were much greater than any money spent on it.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

They were wondering why she even became a teacher if she hated teaching so much.

"Ah, cursed..." Terry started to feel nervous, as he didn't know anyone else that well.

He looked around the lounge and felt his face turn cold as he saw a group of three-Noel, Renee, and Jake-glancing in their direction with hate.

They had finally gotten out of their week-long detention.

After a week of sitting in a dark room and having time to think, they realized that Adam must've done something to them.

It scared them as it was like a work of a god.

The whole stair disappearance seemed so real that they still had nightmares about it.

Their nightmares have them falling down to their deaths, and they always jolted awake in a

state of shock, still feeling like they were falling.

It was all Adam's doings.

Bertha started making teams. She made sure that the teams included two people that clearly

weren't close with each other.

"Terry." She finally came to her and said, "Go join Noel."

"Eh..." Terry panicked. "C-can I get someone else?"

"Go!" Bertha screamed.

Terry, panicked and nervous, reluctantly walked over to Noel.

Noel's eyes turned cold, and he was repeatedly clenching and opening his hands.

"Now, Adam..." Bertha looked at the young man for a split second longer than others and

said, "You're with Yuri."

'Yuri?' Adam saw that there was one person without any partnet yet.

She looked like a timid-looking student with squinted eyes and a nervous look on her face with a small smile trying to break through.

Adam walked over to her slowly, then nodded to her-she returned the nod-then they stood side-by-side, waiting for the signal to leave.

Bertha handed every team a parchment paper of the recipe and then went to open the door.

"You have five hours to find every herb and spice!" Bertha opened the door. "Go!"
