D''andre sent a friend request.


    [ D''andre: I just received a really good item, wondering if you''re interested. ]


    Rowan was quite surprised by the notification and the message.


    "We can send friend requests?" he muttered.


    He hadn''t been aware of this until now. In the game, the option to add friends wasn''t even avable. The only connections yers could make were going on the same raids together as parties. Aside from that, everyone was basically on their own. So he felt really strange seeing a friend request in the actual world.


    [ You epted the friend request. ]


    [ You can now message D''andre. ]


    [ A new tab: FRIEND has been added. ]


    Rowan epted the friend request and received three notifications. The message window was already open, so he clicked on it.


    A virtual keyboard appeared midair, which surprised him, but he didn''t dwell on it and quickly typed his reply.


    [ Rowan: Aight, where are you, so I cane take a look at it? ]


    [ D''andre: At the vige square, these beautiful women don''t want to leave me alone... ]


    Rowan read his reply and frowned.


    [ Rowan: How are you able to type when thedies are there with you? ]


    [ D''andre: I''m currently hiding from them. I excused myself after I received the item. Since you''re nearby, I decided to contact you first. Also, I''m not really typing; you can unlock the option to use voice typing when you reach a certain power level. Pleasee quickly. ]


    Rowan felt a tinge of annoyance reading the e quickly" part. He replied with a simple "Gay madafaka" and closed the message window.


    Without wasting time, he walked out the door and began strolling towards the vige square.


    Walking through the vige, he was greeted with the gloomy and worried faces of his people.


    Some of the families who had lost their loved ones were still weeping, and quite a crowd was gathered outside. A few other vigers were sitting outside their homes with worried expressions, some deep in contemtion.

    Seeing all this, Rowan''s mood dampened once again.


    "Whosoever did this, count your days!" he swore inwardly and continued walking, only waving at the people he made eye contact with.


    On his way, he found Rnd and Bruce with a few soldiers strolling towards the farms.


    They greeted him, and he responded with a smile.


    "Lord Rowan, are you alright?" Rnd asked with concern. He knew just how much it felt to lose the people under your leadership.


    "I am alright; I hope it''s the same for you all," Rowan responded positively.


    The soldiers nodded with smiles, some faking it.


    "Their deaths were more than a mere coincidence, and I''ve already made my promise to you guys that I''ll get to the root of it by any means possible. So just keep doing your good work and pray the ancestors smile upon us," Rowan gave a short speech utilizing [ Super Voice ].


    The effect was immediate as the soldiers became more motivated. However, the effect only motivated them but did not wash away the sadness.


    Rowan bade them farewell and continued to the vige square.


    When he arrived there, he saw a small group of youngdies gathered around D''andre, who performed his cheap magic tricks as usual.


    D''andre spotted him and called off his spell.


    "Beautifuldies, I''ll be gone for now to do important business with your lord. See y''all beautiful facester," he said.


    He winked at them, blew them a kiss, and rushed to meet Rowan.


    Thedies, who just noticed the presence of Rowan, greeted him and rushed out of the vige square one after the other.


    "Surrounding yourself with beautifuldies every day is not a good message to your crush, you know that, right?" Rowan snorted.


    "I never asked to be surrounded. My handsome face just maizes the beauties easily, and I have to face this everywhere I go. You can''t even begin to imagine how much I am loved by thedies," D''andre bragged with a proud smile.


    "Sure, and you can''t win the heart of the one you truly desire," Rowan snorted once again.


    D''andre felt a little bit hurt by his words but covered it up with a smile.


    "Thedies who y hard to get are usually the ones deeply in love with you. They just don''t want to appear weak, hence the cold walls against love proposals," he tried to defend himself.


    "This is not Earth, madafaka," Rowan felt like pping D''andre across the face for his foolishness. Sadly, D''andre was way stronger than he was.


    "Haha, let''s forget about that and move straight to the reason we are here," said D''andre as he called open his inventory and summoned an item.


    [ upation assignment card (Mid-grade) ]


    Rowan saw the name of the item, and his expression brightened.


    "The previous owner of the card found it unimportant and sold it to me at a really cheap price. He is a rank B lord, so it''s pretty understandable that he doesn''t take such an item seriously," D''andre exined.


    However, Rowan paid less attention to his words and more attention to the details of the item.


    [ upation Assignment Card: Assigns a random upation to user.


    Current grade can assign upation with special skill quality of up to B-grade! ]


    "Damn!" Rowan remarked audibly.


    "Crazy, right?" D''andre replied. He thought Rowan was responding to his words.


    "How much are you selling it?" Rowan inquired immediately.


    "You''re interested in it?" D''andre asked.


    "Why wouldn''t I be interested?" Rowan felt like cussing the shit out of D''andre at this moment.


    There were so many opportunities he could get from this card.


    He could finally obtain the Crafter-type upation and be able to use [ Merge ] anytime he liked.


    Also, if he could awaken other types like Assassin, Knight, Summoner, etc., he would be really excited.


    "I will sell it for 10 million evolution points," D''andre decided.


    "However, if you can''t pay fully now, you can drop half the price and payter. Now that we are friends ording to the system, you''ll be able to get stuff on credit and pay backter," he continued.


    [ A trade has been triggered. ]


    [ upation assignment card (Mid-grade) for ten million evolution points. ACCEPT/REJECT? ]


    Rowan clicked ept without wasting time.


    [ Do you want to pay partially or fully? ]


    Rowan didn''t have a reason to buy on credit for now.


    So he paid fully, and the card appeared in his inventory.


    Without wasting time, he activated it...
