4 Strongest In This Game
"What took you so long? You logged in before me and—"
"Hey! Don't just run off like that," the orange-haired woman and the brown-haired man caught up to Alina.
Ziro looked at them and squinted his eyes, "Umm… do you know them?"
"Yeah," Alina pointed her finger at them and uttered, "They are my friends in the game."
"Oh," Ziro moved his hands towards them to shake their hands.
"They are in the last year of their university," Alina stated.
"My name is Ziro, and I am the future husband of Alina," Ziro introduced himself.
Alina's face flushed, but she didn't try to correct him and then said, "They married each other after they graduated from high school."
Ziro raised his eyebrows as he glanced back and forth at the girl and the man. "Wait, for real?! I thought she was just joking."
"And they are mafias," Alina added.
Ziro pulled Alina on his side and glared at them, "Are you truly mafias?"
"Yup," they replied nonchalantly.
"Let me guess," Ziro pointed his finger at the man and said, "You are the 'God Father'— Kevin Busher. And she is Kiana Carlos."
"On the spot! So you know about us?" Kevin asked.
"I remember reading an article about two mafia gangs who were nemesis— but married at the age of eighteen and became the largest gang in the country."
"Someone has done their research," Kiana commented.
Ziro frowned his face and uttered, "Stay away from Alina from now on, or I will destroy your gang."
"Wow~" Kiana glanced at Alina and grinned, "Not bad, Alina."
"Ziro," Alina nudged Ziro and stated, "They are friends."
"But—"
"They are my friends," she repeated.
Ziro sighed and scratched his cheek, "How long have you known them?"
"It's been about a year since this game launched, so around 11 months, I guess?"
"And you are telling me now? Seriously?"
"Uhh… Ziro," Kevin called out. "We mean no harm to her or you— we are friends, and Alina is like our little sister."
Ziro still wasn't convinced but nodded and apologized to them for his behavior.
"We will log out now; see you, Alina."
"Is it because of me?" Ziro asked with a concerned look on his face.
"No, no," Kiana waved her hand and replied, "We were just waiting to see you, and now that we have done that— we have nothing else to do here."
Kiana and Kevin logged out, leaving Alina and Ziro alone.
Ziro glanced around and couldn't stop himself from saying, "Even though it's almost midnight, there are so many players."
"Most of the players are daytime workers or students, so they mostly play at night to relieve their stress."
Ziro stared at Alina with a serious look on his face, then slowly moved his hand towards her and squeezed her breasts, "Hmm."
He squeezed them with both hands and nodded, "Not like the real one, but 7 out of 10."
"What are you doing?"
"Checking the most important thing." He then moved his hand down, but Alina slapped his hand.
"No kissing in the real world every time you touch me in the game without permission," Alina opened her menu and started looking into her inventory.
"What are you doing?"
"Accept my friend request."
A screen popped up in front of Ziro.
[Alina Has Sent You A Friend Request.]
[Accept] [Deny]
Ziro accepted the friend request and waited patiently for Alina to finish what she was doing.
"I sent you a sword; it's an SR item. Accept it"
Another screen popped up in front of Ziro.
[Alina Has Sent You A Sword.]
[Accept] [Deny]
Ziro pressed on Accepted, and another screen popped up.
[Received 1 SR Sword. Press Equip To Equip It.]
Ziro equipped the sword, and his current sword got replaced.
Alina stood beside Ziro and uttered, "Look at my inventory, and tell me if you need anything else."
"What about an armor?"
"You can use your clothes as armor by enhancing the defense with the materials. I will teach you that later." Alina explained.
Ziro pointed his finger at the potions and asked, "What are these?"
"HP potions. I will send you."
A screen popped up in front of Ziro.
[Alina Sent You 50 HP Potions.]
[Accept] [Deny]
[Received 50 HP Potions.]
"Anything else?" Alina questioned.
"What are these?"
"EXP potions. You can get free exp by using it, and it helps you in leveling up fast."
"Send me some."
"I can't. There are non-transferable items."
"Can I buy them from the shop?" he asked curiously.
"You can access any shop once you have reached level 5; until then, you need to level up fair and square."
"So I can buy as many potions as I want once I reach level 5?"
"Yeah."
Ziro placed his hand on his chin and smiled wickedly as he thought, 'I will buy potions worth 100,000 dollars and become the top player of this game.'
"You can buy anything from the shop— but with the game's currency."
"Huh?" Ziro's smile vanished as he uttered, "Game's currency?"
Alina pointed her finger at her coins, "This. You can buy things with these coins."
"Can you send me some?"
"They are non-transferable."
"So how to get them? By killing monsters and participating in events?"
Alina nodded, "You said you have never played any games in your life, so why do you know all this?"
"Come on; this is common sense." Ziro opened his inventory and saw only two things; one was the default sword, and another was the potions Alina shared a while ago.
"I can't buy coins with real money?" Ziro questioned.
Alina shook her head and smirked at Ziro, "Why do you think I chose this game for you out of all the VR games in the world?"
Ziro stared at Alina in complete disbelief as he got played by her. "Bitch," he muttered.
"Did you just call me a bitch?"
"Good bitch."
"Anyway, the sword I gave you has a skill that gives 1.5X EXP, so it should help you level up fast."
"What level are you?" Ziro asked as he looked at his level. "I am level 1."
"I reached level 50 yesterday."
"Wow. How long will it take me to reach level 50?"
"Depends on how you play; but I guess three months would be enough. And if you play with me, then I can carry you and help you reach level 50 in one month."
"Let's see if I get enough time to play this game though," Next month was Ziro's coronation, and he wouldn't get as much free time as he was getting.
"Do you need anything else? If not, then we can log out for today." Alina was worried about what happened a while ago, and she was feeling anxious.
"Yeah, I need a kiss," Ziro moved his face closer to Alina and kissed her— or so he thought, but before their lips could touch each other, there was a thin layer between them.
"What is this?" Ziro asked as he tried to kiss again.
"This is the game's security system to stop intimate contact between players."
"Seriously?" Ziro stepped back as he rubbed his thumb on Alina's lips, "And here I was planning to bang you in the game."
"Married couples are allowed to do it in the game, though," Alina stated as she held Ziro's hand.
"Where do we get married in the game?"
"If you marry in the game, you get married in real life, and you need to be over 18 years old to do that."
"Wow. V.R Games are safer than I thought," Ziro joked as he moved his hand towards the fountain.
The water touched Ziro's hand and rolled down. "You can even feel the water and air. Why didn't you ask me to play the V.R game earlier?"
"Because certain someone was more interested in his studies rather than the world," Alina shrugged her shoulders.
"Lies! I am interested in you the most. I only think about one thing all the time whenever I am with you."
"And that is?" Alina asked curiously.
"How to get dirt on you so I can blackmail you and make you do anything I want," Ziro answered nonchalantly.
Alina scoffed, then grinned, and opened her menu, "You already have enough dirt on me."
Ziro opened his menu and asked, "Are we logging out?"
"Yeah, get some rest. Good night." She logged out.
"Bye…" Ziro watched Alina's body disappeared and muttered, "It feels weird in the game." and logged out.
