The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 225: The countdown begins.

"Fifty points spent and you want to stop using it." A sarcastic voice said in her mind.

"It should have come with a warning label in bold letters that reads, warning; could cause irritation in the form of itching. If I keep using it I might scratch my scalp until it bleeds."

"Why are you still standing here?" Nanny Luo asked her.

Alix had not moved as expected. Nanny Luo wanted her to bathe and go to work because she was aware that nanny Wang reported almost every move of Alix at home. She didn't want Caishen's family assuming that Alix was a lazy free loader here to consume their son's money.

"Should I give you a bath? I haven't done it in a long time but...."

"No." Alix raised a hand to stop her nanny from completing the thought and the statement.

She walked to the bathroom by herself to take a shower. She imagined that this was probably what it was like for Xiaobo when she offered to give him a bath, total embarrassment.

She took a quick bath, dressed up and left the house with a packed breakfast which nanny Luo prepared for her. As always, Majesty went with her because he couldn't stay home.

In the car, she wasted no time in entering the virtual gaming world. Her eyes went to her stats first as she had not checked them out in a while and immediately she noticed a big red notice.

Countdown to final battle: 68 45: 09.

"Hey, blue elf, what's this?"

The blue elf appeared on the virtual screen with four wings on it's back.

"I have never seen a real elf with wings, but okay." she muttered. "Is this what I think it is?"

The blue elf navigate the virtual screen jumping from detail to another that she had missed. "If you are thinking that it's the countdown to the final battle then yes. It is exactly what it says. The qualified guilds will be announced before the day ends.

Also, lately every game player is running around looking for teleportation scrolls. It's possible that you might not be the only one with that advantage in the final battle."

Alix calculated in her mind. Sixty eight hours would come to an end on the second day of the orchid expo. She would not be there in person because she needed to be in the virtual gaming world then. Someone else would have to stand in for her.

A part of the virtual screen blacked out. Something which was deliberately done by the system. "Hurry up first, the party had already started. Check the stats later, from what I have managed to stealthily find out, even your bard character will be useless in the third world."

She was just about on jump on to Baize's back when the system said this. As if she was speaking to an actual person, she turned around and faced the empty space. On realizing what she had done, she turned around and climbed aboard the ostrich.

"You do know that if you want me to concentrate you can't drop news like that on me out of the blue. Now it's all I am going to be thinking about."

She got her azure dragon out of the card and found herself in for another surprise.

"Ho! my little Long." she exclaimed.

He was not a small lizard anymore. He had grown, and she could only compare his size to an adult sized pit bull now.

Well, she couldn't travel with him on her shoulder anymore. Was this the opportunity to merge with him and see how it worked? Or maybe she could just access his abilities and see.

"How do I do this?" she tilted her head and made a hissing sound as she wondered. Did she have to hug him?

"Party, party, party." The system reminded her.

"Right, we can test it this later."

Baize flew up and little Long followed, flying even faster than Baize and more eager. The dragon was so excited that it spun around in the air and roared.

Alix couldn't help wondering where it was exactly that the system had taken the dragon for training.

"Where have you been keeping him? He is like a prisoner that has just escaped and is finally getting their first taste of freedom."

"Or he is a dragon and he enjoys flying." It replied.

She had another thought and she decided to ask. "Do you know why the avatars don't talk? Or Baize for that matter."

"I am not the game designer or world builder. Maybe they wanted to create a world that is as realistic as possible. The animals on your world don't have verbal speech, do they?"

Alix scoffed. Realistic world with animal like monsters that talk and wizards. This was the complete opposite of realistic.

She didn't ask anymore questions so as not to irritate the system. The rest of the flight was undertaken in silence, with minor interruptions from her guild members. It seemed like all the game players or most were at the party.

Those maps had brought out everyone it seemed. This was a race to the final showdown after all. As someone whose guild had already qualified, Alix touched down with a confident and slightly arrogant aura.

As she navigated through the crowd of party attendees, she couldn't help feeling like they were all wasting their time and playing for second best. There would be one victor and it was her guild.

If not her guild, then it would that conniving elf and she really hoped that it would be anyone but him.
