Chapter 25: Azure District

Chapter 25: Azure District

As soon as Xu Feng clicked the logout button, he felt a slight sense of disconnection with the Divine World.

It was a newfound feeling— something he hadn't experienced before.

Upon removing the virtual helmet, Xu Feng wondered if it was due to the baptism effect that made him feel a sense of loss.

After all, being baptized made him feel like he was a part of the Divine World.

And by logging out, he was getting the feeling of being extracted from the world forcefully.

'Hopefully, it's just a one-time thing and not every time.' Xu Feng lamented silently. He did not want to have this kind of weird experience each time he was to log out of the game.

Putting down his virtual helmet, Xu Feng noticed the dorm was empty.

"Seems like everyone else is still in the school competition." He mumbled softly.

Although he had spent quite a long time in the game, the real-world time didn't pass by a lot. It was no exaggeration to say that people could legitimately experience 2 days in the game while the real world had just gone by 1 day.

Of course, the time ratio was still a mystery and experts had tried to rack their brain cells to investigate the phenomenon, only to end up with little to no results.

Thus, it became a norm to expect a virtual reality game to experience time faster than the real world and that people could actually take their time to enjoy the game regardless if they have a job or not.

Looking at his phone which was quite old in model, Xu Feng sighed softly. He was truly one poor bumpkin.

No wonder why he couldn't get any girls in the past when he was in school. It all made perfect sense now.

Sometime later, Xu Feng changed his clothes and left the dorm.

Known for its wealth and extravagance, this part of the city was where the affluent came to splurge on luxury items.

Boutiques and stores lined the streets, offering everything from high-end fashion to cutting-edge gadgets like smartwatches. It was a place where anything could be bought, but that was only if you had the money to afford it.

After admiring it for a few more seconds, Xu Feng began to walk around, finding the store that had the items he wanted.

Unfortunately, though, he was unfamiliar with this area since he was never here at this time of year.

In the past, he only came here after many years had passed, and by then, lots of things had already changed.

Thus, even though Xu Feng had a recollection of the layout of the Azure District in his mind, there were bound to be some differences. And these differences are quite noticeable at first glance.

The decoration and store names are different, albeit with the same kind of building styles retained.

"Let's see where those high-tech devices are sold," Xu Feng walked near a holographic screen that listed his current location and the stores in the district.

Numerous holographic screens of this were laid out everywhere, ensuring that the customers wouldn't get lost.

'Okay, it's on the upper floor level. Not a surprise since the security must be more strict there, providing greater protection.' He didn't find the arrangement surprising and was about to turn around when he encountered the most cliche scene possible.

A woman suddenly held him by his arm and whispered, "Psst, help me pretend to be a couple first. I'll pay you back some money for the trouble."

'Damn, did I really become a lucky bastard?' Xu Feng's first instinct was to believe himself to become that kind of lucky protagonist who always encountered hot women in every corner.

Alas, he quickly came back to reality when he noticed quite a few uniform-like people rushing down, clearly frantic and anxious.

"How much am I getting paid in return?" Xu Feng kept his distance from her despite the woman latching onto him and instead asked for the price to do the act.
