BXBX NOVEL Chapter 224 - Stage 1 Completed
Initially, their conversation was quite awkward and although Ava had gained sentience, she wasn\'t experienced in social interaction. But she was quickly learning and since they could both sense what each other were feeling, it was much less awkward as their conversation began to flow.
Ava became more relaxed and lay more back seeing how Adam was completely relaxed and appreciated Adam trying to replicate what it would be like to be an ordinary person.
He even brought her tea and food, that he made appear using his imagination, as it was his mindscape where he could make anything happen.
It was similar to a dreamworld within his mind and Adam had never explored what it was capable of and didn\'t know whether he had his 5 senses in the mindscape.
Trying to eat the food, Adam could feel that he wasn\'t physically tasting the food or feeling satisfied by it physically, but since he had experienced it many times in reality, he was remembering and replicating the sensation of tasting food.
"When tasting the food, use my memories of how it was to taste the food and eat, then you should be able to replicate the feeling," said Adam as he placed food on the table before Ava.
Ava ate and was amazed by the feeling despite knowing that she wasn\'t actually eating and one of the things that she wanted to do the most with a physical body was eat.
"Is there a way to create a body for someone to inhabit?" asked Adam, who saw the joy on Ava\'s face.
He was asking for Ava, but also asking to see if there was a way to resurrect someone that had died and if he could create a body that was younger for an old person to inhabit and live longer.
With cultivation, nothing was impossible and Ava didn\'t answer as the system restricted what she could tell Adam, but the hope her eyes told him that there was a way and that she really wanted it.
"Then we will do it" reassured her Adam as they relaxed, ate and spoke.
Adam was teaching her different things that humans would do and was also helping her become less awkward as she spoke and he was also helping her to speak more informally and relaxed.
He made games appear and played against her, played different sports with her and with the limitless things that he could show her in the mindscape, Ava was experiencing so many things that she thought that she would never be able to experience.
The entire time, both of them were making sure that nothing happened to Adam\'s Dungeon Form that was recovering automatically using the Ethereal Recovery Skill and the time passed very quickly.
Adam could only show her something that he himself had experienced, which mostly wasn\'t anything amazing, but to Ava who was merely a program before then, it was something amazing.
"I will be leaving to continue hunting since my body has nearly completely recovered, but you can do as you please in the mindscape while I hunt the goat beasts on stage 1," said Adam after his body returned to its zenith state.
Ava wanted to spend more time with Adam, which Adam appreciated and Adam also wanted to spend more time and have fun with such a beautiful goddess, but he needed to hunt and she knew that.
"Alright Adam, be safe and I will wait for you to return and watch over you" stated Ava as the mindscape returned to Adam\'s apartment.
Adam smiled and returned to his body that was full of energy as he prepared to continue hunting.
The cycle repeated many times as Adam would explore and hunt on the large mountainous region, still on stage 1, and once his energy storages were exhausted or he was heavily injured, Adam would find a safe place to recover.
While recovering, Adam would enter his mindscape and spend time with Ava.
He hadn\'t touched her physically and was unsure whether he could, but spending time together, talking and relaxing was enough for both of them and they weren\'t that comfortable yet.
After spending 36 hours in the dungeon, which was mostly spent with Ava in his mindscape, as even with the Ethereal Recovery Skill it took long for Adam to recover, Adam finally completed Stage 1 and in the process, reached LVL 43.
{Your progress is amazing, how do you even hunt for so long without stopping. Do you not get tired?} asked Ava within Adam\'s mind.
"How can I get tired with so many things that I want to achieve, explore and find out. I will never stop hunting in the dungeon until I reach the peak" declared Adam.
His determination and drive were incredible as he prepared to return to reality after spending 36 hours in the dungeon, which was 16 hours in reality and was very straining for his mind and soul.
While Adam was hunting in the dungeon and enjoying himself in his mindscape with Ava, Wayde and Angela had arrived at Brooklyn and reached their residence within 2 hours.
Angela had a nice apartment in Brooklyn that was luxurious, but quite simple, which was how she liked it and was in a quiet and safe area where many others in high positions in the Maxwell Family lived.
She had put the mask back on Adam\'s sleeping face, so that he wasn\'t seen by any of the Maxwell Family members or cameras that they might come across, but no matter how hard she tried, he didn\'t want to wake up.
"What should we do with him?" asked Wayde.
"We can\'t just leave him here and we also can\'t take him back to where he lives without his permission. He is clearly very deeply asleep like he said he would be and his body must have shut down so that he can recover faster after the pain and damage that he was in after the battle" assumed Wayde.
"We will take him to my apartment and leave him there until he recovers and wakes up, then he can do what he wants" decided Angela.
