Love Unspoken

Chapter 1553 Alexander grinned, "Hey, Sean, perfect timing! Grab the computer and show Mr. Smith how awesthis gis." Sean nodded, "Got it," and quickly set down what he was holding before dashing inside to fetch the computer.

A few minutes later, with Alexander's help, Walter had the gup and running. Alexander added Walter to their team, which was tackling a massive dungeon with thirty players. Walter's account was maxed out with top- tier gear. But it didn't matter since Walter had never played before.

As soon as they faced the first boss, Walter's character bit the dust.

This gwas all about teamwork, and the boss had a poison spray attack. If one person got hit, the poison would spread to everyone else, causing a team wipe.

Walter's presence led to five team wipes in just thirty minutes.

Frustrated shouts erupted through the headset from the team leader.

"Seriously, Walter, are you brain-dead? I've told you a million times to dodge, and you just stand there like a statue! If your hands are broken, why are you even playing? You joined without reading the announcement. We needed experienced players. Are you here to mess with us on purpose? Leave the team yourself; I don't want to kick you out." Walter's in-gnwas his real name, so the team leader's rant hit him directly.

Walter's face darkened at the scolding.

Calvin, clearly enjoying the situation, glanced at Walter and then picked up the headset. "Team leader, give him another chance. He has cancer and only three months to live. He just wants to play this dungeon before he dies. It's not that he's bad; he's just seriously ill, and his hands and feet don't work well." The team leader snapped back, "If he has cancer, he should just die. Why is he playing games? Having cancer is no excuse to mess with others. I've never seen such a jerk. Get out now!" Kicking someone from the team required a vote, and more than half had to agree.

But maybe because of Calvin's words, steam members felt sympathetic, and the vote didn't pass. The team leader, frustrated, scolded Walter again.

Finally, he said, "I'll give him two more chances. If he dies again, we're done for today." The team leader was really hot-tempered.

Walter, fuming from the scolding, looked at Alexander and Calvin next to him and said with a forced smile, "This gis really fun. No wonder you guys are so hooked." Calvin replied, "Of course. It's fun if you know how to play. If you don't, it'll be like what just happened. But don't get mad; after getting scolded a few more times, you'll get the hang of it." Walter sneered.

The reason he died eight times was that the boss had more than one skill, and any mistake could lead to a wipe. This was the first boss in the dungeon, and it would only get harder from here.

The team leader scolded for a while, then told everyone to get ready and start the boss fight again.

This time, Walter miraculously didn't die, but they still wiped, not because of him, but because of another teammate.

Calvin was a bit surprised. Walter was learning pretty fast.

If Walter couldn't learn after dying so many times, he really would have sintellectual issues.

Wiping was inevitable, and the next few attempts ended the sway, but none of it was Walter's fault. The team leader had no one to blame.

After four grueling hours, they finally took down the first boss.

Walter had shown up in the morning, and now it was already 1 PM. Colin had been waiting downstairs the whole time.

If Walter hadn't picked up the phone, Colin would've thought something bad happened. They had a deal: if Walter didn't cdown for too long, Colin would go find the Lynch family. The dungeon had five bosses, and even a speed run would take two hours. With all the mistakes, they were nowhere near done by midnight.

While the team leader auctioned off gear, Walter took the chance to study the boss mechanics. After figuring them out, he only made a couple of mistakes before getting the hang of it.

At first, when Alexander said the gwas fun, Walter thought he was joking. But after playing, he found it pretty enjoyable.

He kicked off his wet shoes, his expression turning more serious.

Seeing it was already 2 AM, Colin couldn't wait any longer. He sneaked upstairs to check things out.

He wondered if Walter had been kidnapped or if he was saying things under duress.

With this in mind, Colin reached the upstairs and heard the sound of keyboards clacking before he even entered.

He paused, thinking they were using shigh-tech equipment. But when he walked in, he was surprised to see everyone harmoniously sitting in front of their computers, focused on the game.

Colin stood there, dumbfounded.

He looked at Sean, who was sleeping on the couch like a log.

Colin was bewildered. What had he missed in this short day? Why were they playing games together?

He sat down next to Sean, bewildered, watching them om engrossed in the game. The special effects on the computer screens flickered, making the scene look quite eerie. An hour later, Colin fell asleep. The dungeon still wasn't cleared.

This was a new dungeon, and the lack of gear and damage output made it very challenging. Frequent mistakes meant it couldn't be cleared quickly.

As dawn approached, even the team leader was at his limit. They had only reached the fourth boss, which they had been fighting for nearly five hours.

The team leader said, "Let's continue tomorrow. Go get ssleep. We'll meet at the dungeon entrance at 6 PM tomorrow. Addas a friend." Calvin exited the dungeon, yawning. "I'm exhausted. My wound is bleeding from all this playing." Alexander sighed, rubbing his temples. He was tired too.

He didn't particularly like team games; there were too many idiots.

Walter had also exited the game. In the game, their three characters stood together, and in reality, they were sitting together, which felt oddly strange.

He turned to look at Alexander. After staying up all night, none of the three looked good, especially Alexander, who now had stubble. Walter couldn't help but laugh. "Have you guys been playing this gthe whole time?" Alexander replied, "Haven't you already seen it?" Walter was at a loss for words. Based on his experience, this dungeon might take several days to clear, so it made sense they hadn't gone out.

But he would never believe that Alexander call this way just to play a game.
