Volume One, Chapter 108: The Game Duel

The game featured functions for giving gifts and causing mischief. The system allowed players to send gifts to friends they liked and create trouble for those they disliked.

Meng Xingyi enthusiastically sent little flowers, yachts, villas, and even rocket planes to Shen Chaowu, while equally enthusiastically delivering the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Kicks" to Zhou Jingdu.

Zhou Jingdu was speechless.

"Childish," he sneered coldly. "What’s so fun about this?"

In the next moment, a line of small text slowly appeared in the public chat:

[Chaodu delivered a little flower to your father.]

If I were that old man Lan Ying, I’d probably be infuriated by Guxi’s words right now. Calling him a dog repeatedly—he was already despised to the point of being less than a dog in his eyes. Judging by this, it seemed their personal grudge ran very deep.

But if she didn’t leave, how would others perceive it? No matter how dull-witted she was, she still understood this much. Even family members had come looking for her, so what was she hanging around for?

In the end, those soldiers—slow to react, still dazed on the city walls—were pulled by the new group of troops into the defensive trenches. Han Zhenhan also retreated to the half-buried command post placed at the center of the city wall.

In the carriage, Lu Wu lowered his head to look at Du Ruo, who had her eyes tightly shut in his arms. Her lashes fluttered slightly, and her delicate, fair face felt soft and smooth to the touch, like the steamed egg custard he had eaten long ago.

The dishes on the dining table were indeed abundant: a plate of evenly sliced braised beef, a plate of crystal pork knuckles, and two more plates of homestyle dishes. A large bowl of stir-fried green beans even contained a generous amount of meat.

In my half-conscious state, it felt like I was dreaming. I was truly drifting between wakefulness and sleep, already sinking into slumber.

Only here, in this chaotic, perfume-scented lounge, did I feel truly alive, no different from anyone else.

With recent years seeing demolition and renovation plans executed fervently across regions, many had become millionaires or owned multiple properties thanks to these projects. Naturally, rural residents all hoped this plan would succeed.

After Lu Wu gradually rose to become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, days passed busily, yet he always declined all social engagements to return home and accompany Du Ruo and Fu’er.

Ling Yunche’s expression shifted rapidly before he quickly softened, joking: Chaofengyang had fought so desperately, but it was only through Chaotian’s greater efforts that they were saved. His strength was slightly inferior to both the Tower Realm Master and Chaofengyang—how could he possibly stand against Zhuang Jian?

Dugu Shuqin smiled faintly and said, “It seems my efforts over this long time have not been in vain; I have finally earned their recognition.”

However, what vexed her was that she thought she had concealed everything well. Just as she was about to sweep the treasure into her arms, a burly man suddenly burst out midway, claiming to be a collector of that particular grotto stone and insisting on taking it. Without hesitation, he offered a high price—twenty gold coins.

“All right, all right, Captain, please let the instructor have this one! Since I caused this, I will handle it!” Saying this, he grabbed his hat and headed out.

This place was completely different from the previous two! It was a huge cave dwelling! The ground inside was densely covered with all kinds of treasured swords. At the center stood a massive furnace, from which billowed thick hot smoke.

Leaning back against the beauty’s shoulder and gazing over the railing, one could see the nearby mountains and the night view of Silver Frost City.

“We’ve arrived~” As the plane touched down, this perilous journey had begun! The aircraft smoothly landed at Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan.

“What evidence could there be?!” Ash seemed unprepared for how stubborn Dean was, twitching the corner of his mouth as he retorted.

Hill was spoon-feeding beef broth to Liu Fan, but unexpectedly, Liu Fan waved his hand to halt the feeding after hearing a certain remark. Hill was taken aback and grew curious about who this Cao Cao was, to make Liu Fan so cautious.
