Chapter 606 Hot Dog And Noodle Cup
"Okay, since you guys are busy, I\'ll take a break," Allen declared. His decision to step back reflected not just a break from the gaming world but also a moment to order dinner and catch up on the gaming forum. He threw a mischievous smile at Alice, injecting a playful tease into the conversation. "Well, unless someone wants to turn my break into something else," he added, leaving a hint of possibility in the air.
Alice attempted to speak, but she quickly shut her mouth, feeling the intensity of Bella\'s stare. Tomorrow marked a crucial event for Allen — the day he would be moving into his new residence. They had set today aside to acquire his surprise gift, creating a dilemma for Alice. The prospect of getting intimate with Allen in his current bloody state was a rare and tempting chance, but Bella\'s disapproval held her back.
"I... I can\'t. Good luck, Allen," Alice finally managed, offering her wishes with a hint of regret. The decision weighed on her, evident in her conflicted expression.
Vivian chimed in, a reminder cutting through the momentary tension. "You should rest early, Allen. Don\'t forget, tomorrow you have a photo shoot," she advised.
Allen prepared to wrap up their conversation. "Don\'t worry. I remember that," he reassured them.
"Okay then, I guess I will see you guys tomorrow," he concluded, his words carrying a mix of excitement and readiness for the events awaiting him.
The girls responded in unison, a synchronized chorus that echoed through the space, "See ya."
Allen logged off, his VR device found its place on his desk. The emptiness of the room stared back at him, and he sighed deeply. His room was now barren, the leftover possessions packed away in boxes, waiting for the next chapter to unfold.
"Now, what should I grab for dinner?" he pondered, thinking. The prospect of cooking felt burdensome, considering most of his kitchen essentials were already tucked away in cardboard confines and he didn\'t have any food ingredients.
"Hmm… delivery or dine-in," he mulled, rising from his seat and venturing into the echoey kitchen. Two small boxes, remnants of his previous kitchen life, lay unopened. The contents, once essential for daily living, now seemed like artifacts. Unpacking them was an effort he wasn\'t ready to make.
Surveying his refrigerator, Allen hoped for a hidden treasure trove of sustenance. Alas, he found only a solitary slice of cheddar cheese, the last survivor in the cold haven. With a nonchalant shrug, he decided to make it a snack, closing the refrigerator door and officially declaring it empty.
"I think I will have my dinner at the convenience store in the lobby," Allen decided with a nod to himself. It was a departure from his usual routine, but the convenience of having a store right in the lobby of his apartment building appealed to him. He seldom indulged in such simplicity, often opting for home-
cooked meals or dining out in more elaborate settings.
His apartment\'s store was a gem hidden in plain sight, offering not only daily necessities but also a selection of simple yet satisfying meals. The thought of grabbing a quick bite from the counter while catching up on some reading or browsing through his phone sounded inviting.
He took his phone, wallet, and keys and went down via the elevator. The elevator chimed softly as it reached the lobby, and Allen stepped out into the ambient glow of the building\'s foyer. He glanced around, the hum of activity in the convenience store drawing him in. Tonight, it seemed like the perfect spot for a low-key dinner.
With a low melodic whistle, he headed for the store, the familiar scent of instant noodles and quick bites welcoming him. His phone vibrated in his pocket. He made a quick check and found a notification about a popular new thread in the Hell\'s Gate gaming forum. But for now, he was immersed in the tangible simplicity of this moment.
He grabbed a basket and strolled through the narrow aisles, the fluorescent lights illuminating shelves stocked with snacks and essentials. Glancing at the refrigerated section, he decided on a hot dog and a bottle of water. He also grabbed a cup of noodles, a classic comfort food that felt oddly fitting for tonight\'s laid-back atmosphere.
Satisfied with his selection, he approached the counter. The cashier, a friendly face he\'d seen countless times, greeted him with a nod. Allen returned the gesture, a silent acknowledgment of the routine they both shared in this small corner of their daily lives.
He settled onto one of the stools at the counter, the cool surface beneath him a contrast to the warmth emanating from the store\'s interior. Unwrapping the hot dog, he took a casual bite, savoring the familiar taste. The noodle cup and water bottle awaited their turn, adding to the tableau of his impromptu dinner.
As he chewed, Allen fished his phone from his pocket. The bright screen illuminated his face as he navigated to the gaming forum. The news about Father^Alex had indeed exploded. A player\'s recording had captured the intense encounter, fueling discussions and debates among the gaming community.
Comments flooded the forum, each keystroke contributing to the rising tide of Father^Alex\'s popularity. The heated exchanges revealed the diverse perspectives of players, some applauding the healer\'s resilience, while others dissected the motives of the villains. The forum pulsated with fervor, and Allen found himself engrossed in the unfolding drama.
Amid the argument, one undeniable fact emerged – Father^Alex had ascended to the pinnacle of the healer rankings, surpassing even Yora. The leaderboard reflected the seismic shift in reputation, marking a significant milestone.
\'Nice,\' he thought. As the devil emperor, this was the best he could do for Father^Alex.
