After buying some groceries and kitchen supplies nearby, Ethan returned home. The restaurants were too far from here—better to cook for himself from now on and avoid going out unnecessarily.
He put the items in the fridge, then went back to his room and lay down in the gaming pod.
When he logged in again, his character appeared in Golden Ridge City. Looking around, he saw that many players had already left for their own main cities, and the city had returned to its usual state.
"Should I auction the Guild Creation Order?" Ethan pondered. He had originally planned to sell it once city teleportation was enabled. But after buying supplies just now, he realized he already had more money than he could spend. What's the point of hoarding gold? Sooner or later, once players could gain powers from the game, currency might become worthless. Better to invest in development within the game.
