Chapter 160 Back in Kupido Town
Chapter 160 Back in Kupido Town
After they finished eating lunch, the group spent some leisurely time for a while, just resting there, letting the summer breeze brush past their hairs.
Alex laid down on the ground with his eyes closed.
In the surrounding area, the only sound that could be heard was the wind, the trees swaying with it, and the few birds and insects around.
Maybe it's because of the energy emanating from both Blaze and Ferri but, not even one monster came while they were here.
Because of that, they managed to get some peace while doing nothing.
After more or less an hour, Alex stood up and said, "Okay, that's enough rest. Now, let's go back on the road!"
"Yes, Brother Zero!" Angelica responded.
Ferri and Blaze also got up at this time and were immediately ready to go.
Alex packed up the items for a minute before they left the place.
Along the way, it was pretty much the same and there were also fewer monsters that attacked them on their journey.
Something to note is that, this is the first time that Alex traveled without even managing to level up at least once.
This is because the higher your level becomes, the harder it is to increase it.
The only reason Alex's level is already 63 just after stepping out of the Trial Tower is all because of the accumulated experience points when he still hasn't advanced to Tier-2.
Anyway, Alex didn't care much about it.
Because, even though he didn't get to increase his level, his stats are still increasing.
Since everytime they kill a monster, Alex doesn't forget to use [Sacrifice] on its carcass.
Thanks to that, Alex has once again piled up a lot of attribute points.
At the same time, all the monsters that he killed also contributed a bit of luck points for him to use.
…
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Alex finally arrived at Kupido Town.
At this time, the sky has already turned orange as the sun started descending, signaling that the night is near.
Since it's already close to night, people are coming back to the town such as adventurers.
So, for a while, there were a lot of people in front of Kupido Town's gate.
Alex falls into line with Blaze, Ferri, and the kids.
Inevitably, people looked at him Inquisitively for a while because of the monsters following him.
But the people didn't pay much attention to him and went back to whatever they were doing.
While Alex is quietly waiting for his turn, he heard a conversation not far from him that piqued his interest.
Following the source of the voice, Alex saw a group of 3 people, 2 men and 1 woman, who seemed to be a party of adventurers.
They are also in line, ahead of Alex, and chatting while waiting for their turn.
One of the men who has dark skin and bald head said, "Don't you think that the [Kun's Lair] dungeon is becoming a bit too easy for our levels now?"
"Hmm, yeah, I started feeling that our speed in leveling has also decreased greatly."
Replied the other man who has a thin physique with an arrow on his back.
Aa for the sole girl in the group, she nodded and agreed with their words.
"Yeah, I feel like it was indeed a bit lacking for us now. Maybe we should try going to another dungeon now."
They thought about it for a bit before the bald headed man, who appear to be the leader, said,
"Let's go at it tomorrow one last time. If we can't find anything that's worth our time there by then, we will go and explore another dungeon."
Hearing that, the other two agreed,
"Okay!"
As they finished their conversation, it was also their time to enter the gate.
Looking at their backs, Alex has a thoughtful look on his face.
"Hmm, [Kun's Lair], huh. I guess I should pay a visit to it later. Maybe it's time for me to level it up as well."
When that thought crossed Alex's mind, he was no longer able to get rid of it.
Until the time for them to enter town came, Alex was still thinking of it.
When they were passing through the gate, Alex met an acquaintance.
"Oh, Mr. Alex!"
Looking at the one who called him, Alex saw that it was actually Kevin, the Kupido Town guard.
"Oh, Kevin, hello."
Seeing that Alex recognized him, Kevin smiled and said, "It seems like your restaurant has been prospering, Mr. Alex."
Alex nodded with a nonchalant smile, "Yeah, it was all thanks to the people that I have. Because of them, the business is functioning well even if I'm not there."
"You're talking about Don and the Blade Gang, right?"
Alex looked at Kevin with slight surprise and said, "You know about them?"
Kevin nodded, "Pretty much. After all, even if they weren't a big one, they were still a gang that caused trouble here for a while."
Alex immediately understood how Kevin knew them.
After that, they chatted for a bit before Alex entered the town along with Ferri, Blaze, and the kids.
At this time, Angelica and her brothers had already gotten down from Ferri's back.
One of Angelica's brothers, Jojo, looked up to her and asked, "Sister, is this going to be where we will live from now on?"
With hesitation, Angelica replied, "That, I don't know, Jojo."
As she said that, she turned her eyes to Alex as if also wanting to get to know the answer.
In response, Alex looked at all of them and said, "That's right, from now on, this will become your new home."
"This town is called Kupido!"
The eyes of the kids lit up with a hint of expectation in them as they looked forward to what comes next in life.
After that, Alex didn't immediately lead them to the Lucky Restaurant.
Instead, he toured them around the town to familiarize themselves with it while at the same time, familiarize himself with it.
This is because, even though this is the first place that Alex appeared when he got here in Alter Dimension.
Alex was so busy doing other things that he didn't really get the time to take a look around the town except on his first day when his mind was still confused.
Anyway, Alex brought them around the town and even bought snacks to eat while they were touring.
After a while, the sun has fully set blanketing the sky in darkness covered with bright stars.
Torches and gas lamps were lit and became the main source of light all over the town.
Since it's already dark, Alex decided to end the tour.
He turned to look at the kids who seemed tired now and smiled.
"So, did you guys enjoy the tour?"
Even though they were tired, the kids still answered without hesitation.
"Yes, we are very happy, Brother Zero!"
"I had fun looking at everything!"
"I also had a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the snacks that we ate on the way!"
With cheerful smiles on their faces, Joel, Jojo, and Joey replied.
Hearing their replies, Alex nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, good. It seems like taking you around the town was a really good idea, huh."
Saying that, Alex turned to Angelica and said, "How about you? Did you also enjoy going around town?"
To that, Angelica nodded, "Yes, Brother Zero. Thank you so much for taking us around even though it's already late."
After saying that, hesitation suddenly appeared on Angelica's face.
Noticing that, Alex asked, "What's the matter? Is there something that you weren't happy about?"
Angelica hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, it's just that… I just wanted to spend more time in the library."
Immediately, Alex looked at her with interest.
He asked, "And, why is that?"
Angelica took some time to answer that and shyly said, "I-I just want to learn more. I want to understand the world."
Hearing that, Alex can't help but stare at her for a good long while.
Then he said, "Okay, I understand."
"Tomorrow, you can go to the library. You can read books or study as much as you want."
After saying that, Alex seem to have remembered something and added,
"By the way, I am also planning to enroll you guys to school so that when you grow up, you can become a knowledgeable person."
Angelica's eyes widened in shock after hearing his words.
"What?! Is that true, Brother Zero?"
She asked, looking expectantly at Alex.
Her reaction immediately made Alex smile.
He nodded, "Yes, it's real. Just wait for a while as I prepare your enrollment to school."
A wide smile immediately formed on Angelica's face that she even almost started jumping from her excitement.
But then, Angelica paused and her excitement disappeared as if it was never there.
Then, with a downcast expression, she said, "Brother Zero, forget it. You don't have to enroll us in school."
