Alex casually made up a lie.
He didn't want to tell his parents the secret about the game just yet.
"I see," said Alex's father after listening to Alex's explanation. He didn't think much of it and just nodded.
"Mom, you try it too?" Alex called his mother, Mrs. Alex, over.
"I don't know how to play games..."
"Just try it once. You just need to tap the screen a few times with your finger, it's very simple."
"Okay..."
It turned out that his mother was also unable to control his character, and she couldn't make his character move at all in the game.
One minute later.
"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving now."
"Wait." Alex was stopped by his father, who patted him on the shoulder and said with deep meaning, "Son, don't be discouraged. The fact that you and that girl didn't work out just means that the girl has no taste and you two are not suited for each other. It doesn't mean anything. Meet more people in the future, and you'll always meet the right one. Your mother met an acquaintance this morning. Her niece graduated from university, is three years younger than you, 1.6 meters tall, quite pretty, and has no boyfriend yet. She works in Shashi. If the girl is willing, when you get WeChat, add her and chat with her."
The old couple are very concerned about their son's marriage.
No sooner had their son ended a failed relationship than the old couple started looking for his next girlfriend.
Their son is already an adult, but he has not yet married and started a family. The old couple have sighed and sighed about this many times, and they have also grown quite a bit grey from worrying.
If their son was a fool or physically handicapped, they would have accepted their fate.
The problem is that in their eyes, their son is quite outstanding, good-looking, capable, and has a good personality. His monthly income of tens of thousands of yuan is not low, not to mention in a small county like Riverdale, but even in a provincial capital like Shashi.
In terms of family background, theirs is not good, but not bad either. They have a house and a car, and they are considered a well-off family.
Such a good child in every way, but he can't even find a wife, and keeps running into problems with marriage. The old couple sometimes think about it, and they themselves find it incredible.
What's going on in this era?
Alex couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
He said, "Dad, let's not do it. I'm a little tired. For now, I want to be alone and find inspiration for my new book. Let's talk about finding a partner later, okay?"
When he said this, Alex revealed a tired expression.
The previous failed relationship had left him mentally and physically exhausted, and it would take time to recover. He had no intention of getting involved in love for the time being.
Moreover, Shashi...
It's Shashi again... Another long-distance relationship...
During the previous failed relationship, he had deeply experienced just how unreliable long-distance relationships were.
Even though this girl, who is three years younger than him, is not in a long-distance relationship with him, he has no desire to get in touch with her right now.
All of his attention is focused on the game World of Spirits.
Alex has a vague intuition that this game is likely to change his life.
And right now, there are very few players who really value this game.
This is his opportunity!
Mr. Alex opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed and said, "Okay, then you should get some rest and try to recover as soon as possible."
"Mm-hmm," Alex nodded.
After returning home, Alex quickly thought to himself as he walked upstairs.
The game had no lock screen mode, and that was just a lie he made up.
He asked his father to do this experiment just to verify something.
The experiment proved that no one but him could control his character through his phone.
Judging whether he was actually controlling the character should not be done through the phone's front camera.
His phone is an old model from two years ago, and it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner on the screen. It only has a traditional fingerprint recognition module, and he has only entered the fingerprints of two fingers. However, when he controls the character, no matter which finger he uses, he can control the character normally. Even if he doesn't use the palm of his hand, but only the knuckles or even the back of his hand, he can still control the character without any problems.
This simply cannot be explained by current science.
This is undoubtedly another proof of the extraordinary nature of the game World of Spirits.
It also strengthened Alex's deep-seated belief.
The game World of Spirits is extraordinary.
This is his opportunity.
If he can seize this opportunity, his life will likely be changed forever!
Before he reached the third floor, Alex took out his phone and logged into the game.
The situation in the game had not changed at all from before.
"Brother Li, haven't Captain Mike and the others returned yet?" Alex shouted at the Peace Village villager leaning against the village gate.
"Not yet. You've been here the whole time. You're not blind, are you? Can't you see for yourself?" The villager rolled his eyes impatiently.
He didn't know that the one who had been here the whole time was only Alex's character. Alex himself had just logged into the game.
Alex could only laugh dryly.
Before he knew the wonders of this game, he never wanted to provoke these villagers from Peace Village.
Now, he would never do it.
In order not to waste time, Alex began strength training for his character not far from the gate of Peace Village.
Although his character's strength has reached 100 points, Alex feels that this 100 points is only the minimum threshold for practicing the acquired skill Bull's Strength Technique. This value can still be increased through strength training.
The Peace Village villager, whom Alex calls Brother Li, looked at Alex in surprise.
It is not often that you see such a hardworking outsider.
He was only slightly surprised, and then turned his head and stopped looking at Alex.
Does this outsider really think that it is that easy to become a martial artist?
Which martial artist has not relied on years of honing and training their body to break through and become a martial artist?
If it were really that easy to become a martial artist, there would not be only a mere 20-odd martial artists in the entire Peace Village, which has more than 300 households and a population of more than 1,000.
To become a martial artist, one needs talent, hard work, and sufficient food.
He never thought that Alex, who looked a bit weak and frail, would have anything to do with martial artists.
If he knew that Alex's strength attribute had reached 100 points, and that he was already considered a quasi-martial artist, only lacking a post-natal achievement to become a true martial artist, his jaw would probably drop in shock!
It has to be said that Alex's luck is still pretty good.
After returning home, in the game world, he only waited for less than half an hour before he faintly heard the noise of chaos from outside.
He hurriedly stopped his character's strength training and looked through the gaps in the fence towards the outside of the village.
He saw in the distance a group of more than ten people carrying a huge beast along a village path towards this side of the village.
