"It's official then," Sara said, gritting her teeth in a mixture of frustration and grudging respect. "Our cold princess won't fall easily. She found a way to bridge the gap. She will keep playing this game with us even when we reach the upper realm!"
Lina, usually the most stoic of the group, couldn't restrain her laughter. She leaned back against a table, her shoulders shaking.
"Anything funny?" Ro asked, turning to Lina with a raised eyebrow. The other girls followed suit, looking confused by her sudden outburst of mirth.
"It's just very amusing," Lina said, wiping a tear from her eye as she tried to control her laughter.
"Think about it. A game isn't fun if you are playing it against a rookie or an idiot, right? We have the academy, the clans, the impact, and the city… Lara has the underground portal, but Anjie snatched the royalties of the world in her pocket. It means the upper realm won't be boring at all."
