Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 179 Depressing Comparison

Hearing Kris' narration, he immediately understands her feelings.

Patting her on her back, Alex said, "That's alright. It's just that it wasn't your specialty."

"Compared to them who are all experts in detection and appraisal, you really won't be able to compete with them."

However, instead of getting comforted, Kris just became more depressed.

Alex, just like her, is a Tier-2 player.

However, Alex is able to contribute greatly in looking for the infecteds.

In contrast, she wasn't even able to make a decent effect in tonight's operation.

It's really disappointing to compare ourselves to others sometimes.

With an empty look in her eyes, Kris stared at Alex and said, "Your words aren't really comforting since they're coming from you."

"Eh, why? What did I do?"

Kris shook her head, sighing, "Hais… forget it. I just want to go back home and rest."

Seeing that, Alex stopped asking questions.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door again.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

Then a deep heavy voice came from the outside.

"Boss, it's us."

"Okay, come in."

The door opened and three people, wearing hazmat suits, entered the office.

When Alex saw them, he felt a certain aura from them.

To be specific, it appears to be some sort of intimidation.

However, Alex is unaffected by it at all.

The three people in hazmat suits walked towards Glen and stopped in front of his table.

Glen smiled at them and said, "Seeing that you're back already, that should mean that you've cleared all those places, right?"

The one at the forefront of the three people nodded, "Yeah, we've finished it already."

"It was just some pests anyway, Boss. It didn't take long for us to clear all of them!" said by another person wearing a hazmat suit.

Glen nodded, looking satisfied at their answers.

"Alright, good work everyone. You all worked hard even though it's already late at night."

Glen glanced at his watch and said, "Since it's already this late, let's all go back and have a rest in our respective homes for now."

"Tomorrow, I will be calling you all again to conduct another inspection to see if we have really successfully eliminated the virus in the city."

"Okay, you're all now dismissed."

With Glen's words, everyone in the room said their goodbyes to him and slowly walked out of the office.

Outside the office, Belle and the three people wearing hazmat suits separated with Alex and Kris, and went in the direction of the laboratory.

It seems like they still have things to do, that's why they didn't leave immediately.

Now, Alex and Kris, who were once again left on their own, looked at each other and shrugged, before heading towards the hidden passage.

While walking, the two talked about some random things.

Once they got out of the bookstore, Kris wearily said, "I'll head home first, Alex. I'm really so tired now and just want to rest."

"Alright, take care, Kris!"

Kris rode her car and waved at Alex one last time before driving away.

With Kris gone, Alex looked around for a while before disappearing on his spot.

…

The next day.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky, just like usual.

Alex is still lying on his bed, sleeping.

But that didn't last long.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

Someone started knocking loudly on his door.

However, Alex didn't seem to hear it and just continued sleeping.

Because of that, a series of knocking sounded again, followed by a female's voice.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Alex, open the door!"

It was Kris', the one who's been knocking since earlier.

With a frown, Kris muttered, "It's already 9am, is he still sleeping?"

Today is thursday.

Supposedly, Alex and Kris should be in class and studying.

However, because of the events last night, the Pearl City local government has already announced that there will be no class today.

Also, Taylor evacuated most of the residents in Pearl City last night.

Because of this, most of the streets look empty and desolate.

Anyway, because of this, Alex was able to sleep until the sun was already so high up in the sky.

…

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Kris looked around and saw the window of Alex's bedroom on the side of the house.

Immediately, a mischievous smile crept up her lips.

Sneakily, Kris moved towards the side of Alex's room.

Once she got closer to the window, Kris saw the figure of Alex sleeping on his bed with his mouth wide open.

Seeing that, a flash went through her eyes and she hurriedly took out her phone.

Without hesitation, she started taking pictures of Alex sleeping.

Ka-chik!

Ka-chik!

"Hihihi, don't blame me for this, Alex. This is all because you're still asleep even though it's already late."

Kris continued taking pictures for a while and only stopped once she was satisfied.

Putting her phone back in her pocket, Kris turned her eyes back to the sleeping man through the window.

Raising her hand, she started knocking on the window.

Tung! Tung! Tung!

"Alex, get up already. The sun is already high up!"

This time, it seems like Alex finally heard her and moved.

His eyes flickered for a moment before they opened.

Alex was still a bit out of sorts since he just woke up and wasn't aware of the person that is outside the window.

However, that didn't last long.

Seeing that Alex has finally opened his eyes, Kris immediately started making more noise from the window.

Bang!

"Hey, Alex, open this window!"

Startled by the sudden noise, Alex looked at the window and was surprised to see Kris standing there.

Alex opened the window and looked at Kris with uncertainty.

"You, what the hell are you doing there?"

Kris rolled his eyes at him and said, "Isn't it because of you?"

"I've been knocking on your door for a long time but no one is answering."

"So, I just decided to take a look here."

Looking at Kris who seems to think that her actions are normal, Alex felt speechless.

Sighing helplessly, Alex said,

"Alright, go back there and I'll open the door."
