Mini World Game Console-Chapter 693 - 694: You’re Not Sony [Seeking Monthly Tickets for Ten Thousand Updates]

When Ren Suo woke up, Dong Chengling had already gone back to sleep. The room was silent, bathed in a dim, warm light that sparked a desire to snooze a bit longer.

The Didra people had a curious kind of alarm clock, which made no sound or vibration, but instead induced dreams. Just before fully waking, Ren Suo dreamt that his mother was pulling his blankets off to hurry him out of bed. He snapped awake then looked down to see it was exactly the time he had set.

Too tired the day before, he had casually set the alarm using his Identity Bracelet without understanding its design. Now, Ren Suo accessed Sony's memory and discovered that the bracelet was equipped with a small slice of Great Lord Valmina's "Dream Zen Tape": in layman's terms, a tape that induces active dreaming and influences the content of dreams to wake someone up naturally.

Sony's previous default settings were configured to influence the range of 'family,' which is why Ren Suo would have dreams about his parents.

Besides the "Dream Zen Tape," the bracelet also contained Mora Grand Duke's "Knowledge Sharing Tape," essentially a chat room network. Unlike Earth's server-connected networks, this world's network was supported by 'Knowledge Domain,' a Divine Power Server from Mora Grand Duke that never crashed.

This type of "Knowledge Sharing Tape" was not only accessible to all Didra people, but the tapes used by Divine Descendants also had a special feature: disguise. Divine Descendants could hide their identities when joining mortal chat rooms or having one-on-one chats with mortals, whereas mortals couldn't disguise their identity and had to register with their real names to chat in the Knowledge Domain.

With a simple tap, the bracelet projected the latest messages Sony had received—a plethora ranging from greetings from the Sixteen Bloodline Grand Method, sixteen Divine Children, and generals with real power from the Five Great War Zones to several flirty messages from Sony's past lovers, immediately hitting 99+ notifications.

Skimming past most of the important information, Ren Suo noticed three messages that Sony had pinned at the top: "Your Majesty," "Luoyin City's Platinum Tower," and… "Lorifes"!?

Ren Suo, taken aback, opened the chat with Lorifes and discovered it was full of mutual insults.

Incidentally, Sony actually enjoyed anonymously joining forum-like chat rooms—or, more precisely, Sony was a troll.

Yes, Sony was a troll, and he relished the thrill of provoking others. With his refined education and broad perspective, his trolling often left his victims speechless. Since he, as a Divine Descendant, could change identities at will, his most common practice was—

To disguise himself as dozens of people to troll someone!

You think you're being trolled by dozens, but it's all me, Sony!

Common tactics included, "Seeing everyone trolling you puts me at ease," "Look at how many people are trolling you, and you still don't recognize your mistake?" and "My urine's yellow, let me drench him!" and so on. It was enough to make their victim doubt their entire worldview, often culminating in them shamefully logging off, their reputation besmirched by Sony—after all, they were registered with their real names online.

Truly, it was as if the entire city was filled with his golden-armored soldiers. Ren Suo was equally astounded when retrieving this part of the memory—Sony was the quintessential rich, idle second-generation type.

Other Divine Descendants also disguised their identities to chat with commoners and sometimes even argued with them. But usually, at this point, Divine Descendants would reveal their true identities, gracefully displaying their noble status, consequently leading mortals to quickly fawn over them. After all, in Didra's society of hundreds of millions, the Divine Descendants, totaling only one or two thousand, truly belonged to the privileged class.

But when other Divine Descendants used their special privileges within the Knowledge Domain to disguise themselves, their ultimate goal was to show off. They relished the awe, envy, and adoration that came with revealing their hidden identity, forcing the commoners they were debating with to withdraw.

And Sony? He actually used changing identities to troll people! Disguising himself as dozens of individuals to troll!

He wasn't interested in having commoners back down because of his Divine Descendant identity; he wanted to troll them until they questioned their life's purpose and their faith was shattered!

And among the masses, there was one person who remained an impenetrable fortress in Sony's trolling career, an ocean too vast to cross, an unreachable sky!

Lorifes!

Sony had been in a back-and-forth trolling war with her for over a hundred days. She was the first super troll that even millions of Sony's sock puppet accounts couldn't take down. After three days of relentless sock puppet army trolling, Sony was truly exhausted.

Even Sony, in possession of the Divine Descendant Cartridge, was worn out!

So Sony focused on just one account, engaging in a tug-of-war style trolling battle that lasted for over a hundred days. As they trolled each other, their topics of trolling kept changing, since the basic tactic of a troll is to take a fragment of what the other person says and spin it into a whole narrative—that is, to quote out of context.

From the initial topic of 'whether killing a chicken should warrant a bounty' to the recent 'why men/women don't want to date,' they exchanged tens of thousands of sentences, without ever taking a single day off from their trolling.

Yesterday, Ren Suo was punished by Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei before he could deal with this matter, naturally missing his pre-sleep trolling session with Lorifes. So now Lorifes had taken the initiative to troll back: "You noob, did you finally get yourself killed by someone you couldn't afford to offend because you're such an arrogant weakling? If you're not dead, bark like a dog."

Ren Suo seriously considered this and realized that Sony had indeed tried to identify Lorifes through real-life means in the past, but that was it—wanting to know who the troll he was sparring with was a natural human curiosity.

Moreover, Sony hadn't retaliated in the real world just because he couldn't out-troll the other person; he was practically the epitome of a pure and good prince.

But according to what Los, the game's protagonist, said—although Sony didn't mean for it to happen, it seemed Sony's subordinates had misunderstood something, leading Los to have no choice but to seek military help to protect his sister.

And this was the start of Los's suspicion towards Sony.

In other words, don't go trolling people online for no good reason.

Although Ren Suo wasn't able to properly explain things to Los yesterday, his will to survive was strong. Now, he wanted to avoid both siblings, Los and Lorifes. How could he possibly troll Lorifes now?

"After a detailed and profound reflection, I've realized the errors in my words, and that I've caused you a lot of trouble, for which I deeply apologize. I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy life, goodbye."

The other party immediately replied, "Why? Are you scared?"

"Yes, I am."

"I don't believe it. Why won't you continue the discussion with me?"

Ren Suo decided not to waste any more time with her, saying, "Nobody will be there for you unconditionally. Even your shadow will be absent on a cloudy day."

Then Ren Suo closed the chat with Lorifes and checked the information on "Luoyin City's Platinum Tower." As he read on, he raised an eyebrow, rolled over, grabbed his clothes, and went into the bathroom.

When he came out dressed, Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei were already sitting on the bed waiting for him. Ren Suo pointed towards the bathroom and said, "It's basically the same as an Earth restroom, but there's a big difference in the buttons. And here, when brushing teeth, you use a green paste mixed with water, hold it in your mouth, and it fizzles and pops to brush your teeth. If you want to wipe your face or body, you use a transparent disposable cloth, which dissolves by itself after you throw it in the sink..."

"Are you leaving?"

"Someone should be coming to look for me soon. Fortunately, I woke up a little early," Ren Suo said. "Later, I have to pretend to be Sony and attend a meeting, which shouldn't take too much time. I'll instruct them that you're with me, so they won't come in to disturb you. Hmm, later, I'll have them bring you some basic language learning materials."

Dong Chengling sighed softly, "You're working hard; I'm completely useless right now."

"Your Qi Cyclones are currently sealed because you are constantly under Spiritual Energy suppression. It's similar to the Scattered Spirit mechanism in the Third Hospital, just more thorough and targeted."

Ren Suo scratched his head and said, "Moreover, this state of Spiritual Energy suppression originates from Didra's strongest, Xides. I can't unlock it right now, and ordinary cartridges can't purify this effect... But after attending this meeting, I might be able to figure out a way to lift this condition from you. Don't worry."

The meeting was actually because Sony had accomplished the great achievement of capturing the Different Dimension Coordinate, coupled with Xides' elevation to Young Lord and vacating the position of Bloodline Great Law held by Grand Duke Mei Nielusi. Thus, Sony would be appointed as the new-generation Bloodline Great Law at this meeting.

The Bloodline Great Law comprised the top sixteen individuals in terms of personal strength in the Didra Plane. Even if the Bloodline Cartridge obtained by Sony couldn't remove Dong Chengling's state of Spiritual Energy suppression, at least the status of Bloodline Great Law would give Ren Suo more room to maneuver, such as using his influence to seek help.

Ren Xingmei nodded, then suddenly burst into Ren Suo's arms, embracing him. Ren Suo was stunned for a moment, then gently stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you; we will be able to go home soon."

"Hmm." Ren Xingmei made a cute noise with her nose and rubbed her head against Ren Suo's chest.

After soothing Ren Xingmei for a while, Ren Suo looked at Dong Chengling, who smiled and opened her arms to him.

Ren Suo immediately went to embrace Dong Chengling. However, at that moment, Ren Xingmei also squeezed in, instantly turning the scene from a sweet embrace between lovers to a warm one where Dong Chengling looked like a mother caring for her two grown children, very harmonious.

"Prince, Prince."

The maid outside was calling. Ren Suo looked at them reluctantly, suddenly leaned in to kiss Dong Chengling, and then stood up to say, "I will be back soon. Don't worry about me, and don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Consider it a trip to Another World."

"Hmm, have a safe journey."

After Ren Suo left, Dong Chengling turned her head, her gaze peaceful but the corners of her mouth slightly curled, smiling at Ren Xingmei. Ren Xingmei felt self-conscious under her gaze and involuntarily lowered her head to look at the pattern on the bed.

Suddenly, Dong Chengling pulled her hand, embraced her, and whispered, "Be good, don't be scared. Your brother won't leave you."

Ren Xingmei, who was initially a bit tense, immediately relaxed, extended her hands to hug Dong Chengling, and buried her head in Dong Chengling's comforting chest, letting out a contented hum.

Unlike Bai Ji, who was popular only among female students, Teacher Dong Chengling of Heavenly Lotus Academy was the most popular teacher, admired by both genders—boys liked her, and girls liked her even more.

"While your brother was here, there might have been some things you couldn't say. Now that it's just the two of us girls, your teacher will help you with any troubles," Teacher Dong smiled.

"Really?"

"Truly."

Ren Xingmei looked up at Dong Chengling, hesitated for quite a while, then stammered, "Tea— Teacher Dong, I actually have a question that I'd like to ask, to consult with you…"

"What question?" Teacher Dong patiently waited for Ren Xingmei's question.

"How can I, how can I…" Ren Xingmei glanced at the nearby curves that were the epitome of aesthetic perfection and whispered, "…grow a bit larger?"

In fact, there was still some time before the meeting started, but Ren Suo had to have breakfast with General Black Thorn early in the morning. When he arrived at the Rift Fortress's dining hall, Lanaya and other Divine Guards were already on standby.

Ren Suo immediately turned off most of the "Ren Suo" programs and activated all of "Sony's" programs. In the blink of an eye, he went from 'Ren Suo' to 'Ren's Sony'.

Seeing Ren Suo's arrival, Black Thorn, who was being fed by a burly manservant, promptly stood up and said, "Greetings, Sony the Great."

Ren Suo smiled lightly, sat down, washed his hands in a nearby basin, and handed them to the maids to dry. He then said casually, "Nothing's been settled yet. It wouldn't be good if others heard about it. Black Thorn, you shouldn't be careless with your words."

"It will be settled soon enough; it's just a matter of time," Black Thorn said. He was a rather dashing golden-haired General, and quite hardcore—even being fed by a burly manservant, something the weakling Sony couldn't compare to. But facing Sony, who was about to become a Bloodline Great Law, Black Thorn adopted an extremely deferential posture. "His Majesty has relinquished his position as Bloodline Great Law, and Your Highness has achieved a great merit. The Bloodline Great Law position of Grand Duke Mei Nielusi is undoubtedly yours."

"I hope so," Ren Suo replied with a casual laugh, opening his mouth to be fed by the maids.

"By the way, Your Highness, I have prepared a small gift for you. Should I send it over later?" Black Thorn suddenly said.

Ren Suo casually responded, "Hmm, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. What's this all about?"

Black Thorn said with a smile, "Just a little something, a token of my respect."

"You really shouldn't have. That's too much," Ren Suo said, trying to refuse politely.

"It's a small gesture, truly just a small gesture," Black Thorn persisted.

"Hmm... I didn't expect you to be so... insistent." Ren Suo thought for a moment. "Alright, I appreciate the thought. It wouldn't be right to keep refusing."

"Honestly, there's no ulterior motive," Black Thorn breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just a small gift I thought Your Highness might like."

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony," Ren Suo said with a shrug.

"It is I who should feel awkward for imposing," Black Thorn said, gesturing for the tall male servant behind him to step back. "The meeting is about to start, Your Highness..."

"Let's go."

The conference room was on the fifth floor of the Rift Fortress. Though it was called a conference room, there were only two chairs inside — one for Black Thorn and one for Sony.

Suddenly, the lights went out in the conference room, and nearly twenty projection screens appeared. Each screen displayed a Divine Descendant. At that moment, Ren Suo, Black Thorn, and the other Divine Descendants on the screens rose to bow to the man dressed in black sitting on the throne in the center. "We greet Your Majesty! May the Great Lord's glory be with Your Majesty!"

The sovereign of the Didra Empire, Xides, said indifferently, "Sit down."

Ren Suo sat down, but Black Thorn remained standing to report the results of Operation Bayonet. "...Through the valiant efforts of our warriors, we've roughly grasped the pertinent intelligence about the Different Dimension and their level of warfare..."

"...The technological level of the Different Dimension is equivalent to Didra's one hundred to two hundred years ago, and technology coverage is limited. Other than a few important cities, most areas are in a primitive state..."

"...Humans from the Different Dimension are entirely incomparable to Didra humans; they are physically very weak. Barring organized armies and a few elites, the vast majority of civilians from the Different Dimension have no combat capability, yet the population is extremely large, roughly tens of times that of Didra..."

"...The Different Dimension humans have absolutely no spatial defense capabilities, nor any relevant spatial technology, posing no substantial threat to the Didra Plane..."

"Some warriors have encountered powerful natives from the Different Dimension, and an Imperial Colonel claimed to have come across a native with the strength of a Great Lord," Black Thorn did not hide Los's situation. "But the natives with powerful abilities were few and far between, unable to contend with our Didela Warriors. The colonel's testimony is somewhat credible. It's unlikely the enemy has the strength of a Great Lord, but it's quite possible they possess combat power to rival Divine Descendants, as three Morag Assassins died directly in the Different Dimension."

Black Thorn actually believed Los was innocent! He knew Los hadn't killed the three Morag Assassins and also believed Los's account of encountering a powerful native from the Different Dimension!

"Sounds like invading this dimension should be a breeze."

"There was never a problem to begin with. No Different Dimension can withstand Didra."

"But we now need the support of all our citizens; no mistakes are allowed. Take care of that colonel from the reports. Don't let him disturb the military's morale."

"Yes, indeed."

With just a few words, they confirmed the results of the operation and sealed the fate of an Imperial Colonel. Then someone mentioned, "Next, it should be the subject of the Bloodline Great Law, right?"

At this moment, Xides, who had been silent, finally spoke. "Grand Duke Mei Nielusi has decided that the next Bloodline Great Law will be Sony, who has made great contributions in Operation Bayonet and successfully captured the Different Dimension Coordinate."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

The matter was settled even more quickly than the last. In a short period, it was unanimously approved. Ren Suo stood up and looked directly at Xides through the screen.

Then, all the Divine Descendants in the screens clapped their hands together, including Xides. After they had clapped three times, a sound like a Dragon Roar suddenly erupted from the sky, followed by a howling roar, "Suo—ny—"

"Sony, your name has resonated throughout the world, reaching into obliteration. The Great Lord has taken note of your name," Xides said calmly. "When you return to Luoyin City, you will officially receive the Inheritance of the Bloodline Great Law."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Great Lord."

Ren Suo sat back down. Now it was the turn of the other Divine Descendants on the screens to bring up topics, most of which were related to military preparations. Ren Suo did not express any opinions the entire time, waiting quietly for the meeting to end.

After the meeting ended and the screens disappeared, Xides suddenly said, "Sony."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Come back as soon as you can."

As the final screen went dark, Black Thorn grinned at Ren Suo. "Congratulations, Sony the Great."

Ren Suo calmly accepted the congratulations. On his way back, he said, "Could you send up some basic language textbooks? Someone wants to learn our language."

Black Thorn readily agreed. "No problem, I'll have them sent up right away. Truly worthy of a Bloodline Great Law, in just one night, you have them eagerly learning our Didra language. I take my hat off to you... I won't disturb you any longer. I hope you'll enjoy my gift."

"Hmm." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As Ren Suo was about to take the elevator up, he saw that Lanaya and the others had come in, so he asked, "What's up?"

"By His Majesty's orders, your security level as a Great Magistrate is to be heightened. From now on, we will protect you constantly and without interruption," Lanaya said.

"But I don't like being watched while I'm resting."

"We will be stationed outside the door."

Ren Suo nodded. "That's acceptable."

When they reached the top suite, they were greeted by noisy voices. "Great Master Sad Wind, this is His Highness's guest, you cannot..."

"What guest? It's just a little gift from that rascal Black Thorn. Step aside, let me check the merchandise for His Highness first. And open the door too. I'll discipline the newcomers for His Highness. We're having a party later; we can't let these humorless folks spoil His Highness's fun..."

Ren Suo strode out and saw a silver-haired beauty at the door being harassed by a Divine Descendant, with the maids standing by, not daring to stop or leave. Upon seeing Ren Suo return, they immediately sighed in relief and exclaimed, "Your Highness, this Great Master Sad Wind..."

"Your Highness, oh no, I mean Sony the Great!" The Divine Descendant released the silver-haired beauty's arm, spreading his hands and walking towards Ren Suo with a big laugh. "I heard you were working here in the Rift Valley, so I brought a flock of fresh and tender lambs right over for you. Aren't you excited, delighted?"

Ren Suo pushed him away, dodging his embrace, but the Divine Descendant didn't mind. He turned his head to glance at the silver-haired beauty and said, "However, Sony the Great, please let me play with this silver-haired one first. You know my preference..."

"Yes, I know," Ren Suo said expressionlessly. "Sad Wind, you just love to play with sheep, and her skin is as white as her silver hair; you can't resist that, can you?"

"Hehe, Sony the Great, you really understand me," the Divine Descendant chuckled.

Sad Wind, a Divine Descendant from the Sangkien Grand Duke's faction, shared certain similarities with the Morag faction, pursuing thrills with complete abandon. However, while Morag's pursuits were often related to violence, Sangkien's were related to unusual predilections.

Sony's endless descent into depravity was the collective doing of various Divine Descendant factions, among which Sad Wind was Sony's 'playmate' from the Sangkien faction. That's why Sad Wind acted so familiarly.

Now, although Ren Suo's thoughts were Sony's, his worldview Sony's, and his behavioral habits Sony's, there was still something about him that wasn't quite like Sony.

That would be his bottom line.

"By the way, what were you thinking of doing in my room just now?" Ren Suo asked casually.

"Hmm? Oh, I heard that you, Sony the Great, just got two humans from a Different Dimension, so I planned to go in and train them for you. After all, humans from a Different Dimension don't understand our ways of play, and they're likely to resist us. Wouldn't it be boring if they didn't cooperate during the gathering later on? Don't you agree?"

"Yes."

"Then wait for me, Sony the Great. I'll have them as docile as sheep in no time with my cartridge..."

As Sad Wind turned around, Ren Suo stretched out his hand and pressed it onto his shoulder.

"You need not trouble yourself with that," Ren Suo said indifferently. "Training two humans from a Different Dimension is so uninteresting. Try something more challenging: train Lanaya."

The purple-clad Lanaya behind Ren Suo raised her eyebrows.

Sad Wind was startled, then burst out laughing. "You're joking, Sony the Great! One Lanaya could beat ten of me..."

"I'm not joking," Ren Suo replied. "You only have two things to do now: either train Lanaya, or die. Lanaya, you have two choices as well: either be trained by Sad Wind, or make him die."

"Sony the Great, this..." Sad Wind started to tremble, while Lanaya's hands shone with a purple glow, her body radiating with purple light.

"Set up a Morag Violent Barrier. Don't let him escape." Ren Suo walked past Sad Wind, casually ordering, and the Divine Guards quickly set up the barrier to prevent any Spatial Movement.

"Sony the Great, we're good friends, aren't we?" Sad Wind finally began to fear, taking several steps back and pleading, "We've known each other for so long, played together for so long, don't you remember? Friends shouldn't hurt each other!"

"Ah, yes, friends shouldn't hurt each other." Ren Suo nodded, and hope flared up on Sad Wind's face once more.

"So we're not friends anymore. Alas, such fleeting friendship."

WHOOSH!

A whistling sound followed by a scream; Sad Wind's right shoulder was abruptly pierced by Lanaya's purple light!

Among Divine Descendants, the disparity in strength could be vast. The openly acknowledged Three-Star Divine Descendant Lanaya stood unquestionably at the top, while Sad Wind, a Divine Descendant from the pleasure-seeking Sangkien faction whose cartridge was meant for entertainment, was naturally at the bottom in terms of combat power.

"You can't do this, you can't do this!" Sad Wind screamed as he struggled and retreated on the carpet. "Under the Empire's laws, you can't kill a Divine Descendant without reason! Help! The Bloodline Great Law holders won't allow this! The Great Lords won't allow this! Help! Help!"

Lanaya glanced at Ren Suo, who just shrugged and said, "Sorry, the Empire's laws don't allow it, but my dad is the Imperial Sovereign. The Bloodline Great Law holders don't allow it, but I am a Bloodline Great Law."

"So Sad Wind, if you manage to successfully train Lanaya, I guarantee on my honor as Sony, a Bloodline Great Law, that Great Lord Nok Tu Nal won't bother you."

Sad Wind finally realized that Sony was intent on dooming him. He yelled despairingly at Ren Suo, "Why? Weren't we always having fun before? Why have you changed like this, Sony!? Why are you suddenly trying to kill me?"

"Indeed, why?" Ren Suo pondered with a tilted head for a moment, then said, "Well, of course, it's because you wanted to touch my woman, idiot!"

Ren Suo's face turned ferociously grim, glaring at Sad Wind with hatred as he said, "I will absolutely not let anyone hurt my woman, never!"

Then Ren Suo returned to his tranquil demeanor, saying, "Oh dear, the carpet's dirty. Lanaya, could you hurry up and either be trained by him or deal with him quickly?"

"Understood."

With an abruptly ending scream, Ren Suo yawned and headed toward the door.

At that moment, the silver-haired beauty who had been watching quietly suddenly stepped in front of him, saying, "Sony the Great, greetings."

"Hmm?" Ren Suo glanced at her and could guess something. He said, "Later, I will speak to Black Thorn. Wait here for a while; someone will soon take you back. Don't worry, I will remind them to give you what you're due. They will definitely not harm you."

Ren Suo turned to continue walking, but the silver-haired beauty again threw herself into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck willingly.

At that point, Ren Suo was slightly annoyed. "I was saying..."

But the silver-haired beauty leaned close to his face, her lips moving silently, mouthing the words —

You're not Sony.
