Morris’s thoughts ran far deeper than Daisy’s.
The reason was simple: this was the Marvel Universe in the year 2005.
According to the timeline, the Hulk had only just been born this year, Tony Stark was still playing the playboy, and Stephen Strange probably hadn’t even graduated yet.
The Inhumans storyline was at least six or seven years away, while Spider-Man was likely still a little kid.
As for Morris’s homeland, China, the 2008 Beijing Olympics hadn’t happened yet, and the rising dragon still had a way to go.
Of course, as part of the Marvel world, China here differed from his previous life.
Word had it that S.P.E.A.R.
existed over there, and its overall combat capability was said to be even stronger than Hydra-SHIELD.
Moreover, S.P.E.A.R.
belonged exclusively to China, unlike SHIELD, which claimed to be managed by the UN Security Council but was practically an independent entity operating under the US.
Morris could think of countless ways to make money, but being abroad, his line of thinking aligned with Daisy’s: use the miraculous skills from World of Warcraft to extract wealth from the rich!
As for taking the first step, both were still brainstorming.
The method Morris envisioned was taking their current funds and investing in China.
Foreign investment was immensely welcomed there right now!
So, Morris began researching China’s current foreign investment policies online.
After spending the afternoon writing down their respective plans, the two discussed them together.
Ultimately, they decided to open a small shop near their university.
Its primary offerings would be cost-free Conjured Mana Bread and diluted Conjured Mana Water.
Morris wasn’t worried about the taste at all; these conjured provisions actually tasted quite good.
As for targeting the wealthy, once their reputation spread, rich folks would inevitably be drawn to them.
After all, with Hydra-SHIELD around, supernatural phenomena were bound to catch their attention sooner or later.
Morris wasn’t particularly concerned about Hydra-SHIELD causing trouble.
Setting up the shop required proper planning during the summer break, and Morris was confident that by the time summer ended, he would have reached max level!
By then, very few individuals or organizations in the Marvel world could pose a genuine threat to him.
A level 70 unequipped player with four combined classes would surely be stronger than the Hulk, right?
After all, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hulk’s strength capped out at around a hundred tons.
With their plans laid out, Morris and Daisy exchanged a smile and prepared to enter the game to continue leveling.
After another night and all-night grind—roughly fourteen hours—Morris reached level 28.
Daisy, benefiting from a normal experience curve and growing familiarity with the game, reached level 20 before midnight.
Taking some time, Daisy ran to Shadowfang Keep and joined Morris in the dungeon overnight. Find the original chapter at g.com.
By morning, her level had surpassed Morris’s, hitting level 30.
After a quick breakfast, the two cleared out quests in Hillsbrad Foothills and Arathi Highlands before heading together to Booty Bay.
In just one morning, they cleared most of the quests there.
Daisy rose to level 41, while Morris only managed to reach level 32.
The level gap was widening significantly.
Faced with this, Morris had no choice but to resume his dungeon grind, picking the Scarlet Monastery complex this time.
Before grinding, Morris had to face a pressing issue: how long would it take to learn all the class skills he had missed over the past twelve levels?
Daisy’s path was much simpler.
She embarked on a map-charting journey, exploring the world to familiarize herself with the game while completing quests and taking in the scenery.
As a result, on the third day of their graduation trip, the two went nowhere, spending a full day and two nights tucked away in the hotel.
It wasn’t until the morning of the fourth day that Morris finally caught up on all his class skills and pushed his level to 35 in Scarlet Monastery.
Meanwhile, Daisy had already reached level 50!
Her proficiency with Shaman skills had grown immensely.
She had even joined several dungeon pug groups, seamlessly filling roles as both healer and DPS.
For a smart girl like her, none of it seemed difficult.
Having learned about Morris’s situation, Daisy envied his talent, but she also began worrying about his future path in the game.
His Golden Finger was extremely rare even by game standards.
Once he hit max level, how was he going to participate in various endgame activities?
Even if game items couldn’t be brought out, what would happen at max level?
Would new features unlock once certain conditions were met?
Since the game granted them real-world abilities, other perks might unlock under the right conditions.
Therefore, participating in endgame activities was essential, meaning they needed a strategy to keep his talent secret.
When Daisy voiced her concerns, Morris fell into deep thought.
“Since you can bring me into the game, can you bring more people in?” Daisy suggested.
“Not too many—just enough for us to clear the raids!”
Her proposal took Morris by surprise.
Suspiciously searching Daisy’s eyes, Morris realized the future Quake wasn’t some starry-eyed, brainless romantic after all. This story is hosted at g.com.
“Do you know the condition for bringing you into the game?” Morris asked.
“Of course I do.
This is America!” Daisy replied casually.
“Which of those rich guys doesn’t have a flock of women?
You’re definitely going to be rich in the future!
Morris, you need to adapt to your status and position in advance!
As for me, I’m me.
I won’t go crazy over it, don’t worry!”
Her candid remarks made Morris’s eyelids twitch.
Were American girls’ mindsets really this free-spirited?
That was…
surprisingly exciting!
Then again, before Tony Stark settled down, the number of women he slept with in a single year could easily fill a 25-man raid—hell, even a 40-man Molten Core run in the classic era!
It wasn’t an impossible idea, especially with his Golden Finger backing him up.
Prompted by the thought, Morris posed a flurry of queries in his mind, eventually receiving a vague reply from the system.
*A solution will unlock once max level is reached.*
Well, that was as good as saying nothing; he still had to level up first!
At least he didn’t need to stress over the issue right now.
After urging Daisy to boost her level as quickly as possible, Morris decided to turn the rest of their graduation trip into a full-blown leveling marathon.
After all, experience requirements beyond level 60 ran into hundreds of thousands per level.
With an eightfold multiplier, that meant two to three million points per level—and even more further down the line.
That was no small task.
To make it up to Daisy, they spent the fourth day touring around town before officially entering lockdown mode to grind.
Finding a hotel with better privacy, the two spent nearly all of the remaining eleven days of their “vacation” inside the game.
Morris spent the vast majority of his time grinding dungeon mobs for experience.
Daisy, on the other hand, reached level 70 in less than two days and promptly joined a GDKP raid team.
She confidently declared that her remaining time in-game would be more than enough to earn back her game time subscription!
