Chapter 51: “A Slightly Obnoxious Bucket of XP”
After maintenance was over, Rare logged in and received a bunch of notifications. There was the usual notification about the maintenance, but it had been sent before maintenance so, after skimming the title, she ignored it.
“A recording of battle footage, huh. Well, as long as it doesn’t show me changing, then whatever. Let’s see, so they’ll also ask for my permission after I’ve been given the edited footage to review… Since my face doesn’t appear, then yeah, whatever. Ah, that’s right…”
Something came to mind that she had written down as a possibility. If it worked, then things might get interesting.
“Great, so all that’s left is that ‘Wayne’ guy.”
“What’s going on with Wayne?” asked Kerry, who was standing by next to Rare.
After going to the forest with Wayne, Kerry had spent nearly all her time in the queen’s chambers. Apparently, while she had been pretending to be weak, having to attack her allies, the engineer ants, caused her quite a bit of stress. Unless Rare ordered it, she didn’t intend to maintain her relationship with Wayne.
“Regarding the event the other day where I was gone for about two hours, there was a little incident.”
She wasn’t sure if her followers could tell if she was logged in during those two hours. Since she had predicted that there wouldn’t be a way to earn XP while in the event area, she had ordered her subordinates to go out and randomly kill stuff in the meantime, curious if she would still get the XP. However, since she ended up earning a ton of XP during that last exhibition match, it was hard to tell whether she had gotten any or not.
