Mini World Game Console-Chapter 719 - 720: We’re Going Home

At the Seven-Ring Sky Gate of Luoyin City, Great Magistrate Twin Stars looked toward the Platinum Tower of the Royal Court in the distance and suddenly asked, "Where is Xides?"

Ren Suo also glanced at the Platinum Tower. "He's almost dead too. Another traitor is dealing with him."

"A traitor, huh..." Great Magistrate Twin Stars murmured softly, then chuckled. "Dying at the hands of traitors just as their ambitions swell to the breaking point and are about to be satisfied... it's quite in line with our Didra tradition. We truly are a… sinful race."

"I... If I had just stopped earlier, I wouldn't have fallen to this state. If I hadn't started a rebellion, it wouldn't have led to such heavy casualties in the Didra army. If..."

Ren Suo said, "A wolf starved for too long can never fill its belly."

"That's true."

The Red Star Warrior, his Sword Chain broken, coughed up blood and knelt. He struggled to lie next to the Blue Moon Mage, whose chest was torn open, held her hand, and gently closed his eyes.

The muscle-camouflaged Great Magistrate Revealing Victory's body fell apart because he stubbed his little toe on the corner of a wall.

Great Magistrate Rolling Earth of the Abyss's Maw, on the other hand, self-combusted into ash because he ate something he shouldn't have.

Of the ten attacking Great Magistrates, Ren Han took down three, the Handsome Monkey King defeated two, and the Moon Chanter eliminated two. The adventurer didn't manage to defeat any, while Ren Suo and the Truth Seeker together handled three.

Now, there was no one left to prevent Ren Suo from doing as he pleased.

TAP! TAP!

Ren Suo turned around and saw Dong Chengling running towards him, even leaping up to hug him in mid-air!

It was the first time Ren Suo had seen such enthusiastic behavior from Dong Chengling. Joyfully, he caught her and spun her around twice. Then, Dong Chengling picked him up and spun him around as well. Ren Suo leaned down to get closer, but Dong Chengling stopped him. "You still look like the Truth Seeker."

Ren Suo nodded. "Right, I'll just—"

"Wait, Suo, don't change back yet," Dong Chengling said, holding Ren Suo's face. "Let me look at you a bit longer, just a little while."

Ren Suo's face stiffened, and he tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He was still wondering why Dong Chengling was suddenly so passionate. It turned out it was because he currently appeared as the Truth Seeker.

Although Dong Chengling didn't idolize celebrities, she still had a few figures she respected and adored, one of whom was the Truth Seeker.

Being the first woman to appear in Ren Naiser's videos, famous for her tenacity and a glorious end, it was only natural for the Truth Seeker to be cherished by Dong Chengling.

Moreover, with the Truth Seeker having joined the Fairy Palace and being elusive, it naturally made one feel that seeing the Truth Seeker in person was a miraculously fortunate encounter.

Dong Chengling had seen the Truth Seeker twice. The first time, she was cursed by Sony and immobilized, able only to watch the Truth Seeker helplessly. The second time was on the recent battlefield, where the rational and strategic Dong Chengling naturally wouldn't have disturbed her.

Even though she had seen her twice, Dong Chengling had no real rapport with the Truth Seeker and was too shy to get close to her; she could at most chat to try and foster a closer relationship.

But Ren Suo was different!

Even though Dong Chengling knew that Ren Suo was not the real one—perhaps transforming into the Truth Seeker temporarily for better combat—and though he looked exactly like the Truth Seeker, the core was still Ren Suo.

But if it were the *real* Truth Seeker, she wouldn't dare to get so close!

The Truth Seeker might be too shy to ask for a hug, but Ren Suo could be embraced and spun around!

Ren Suo watched Dong Chengling, who was smiling like a child, and sighed with mixed emotions, saying, "I'll figure out a way to have the Truth Seeker meet you more often; you two might become good friends."

"No need," Dong Chengling shook her head, smiling. "I really like the Truth Seeker, but there's no need to be friends with her..."

"But you are the one I like, and the Truth Seeker is the one I admire. When you two overlap, that's why I'm like this... Is it too impolite?"

Oh, the first time experiencing having someone she liked, the first time having an idolized figure—these two joys overlapping brought even more happiness…

However, Ren Suo felt even more phantom pains.

If Dong Chengling only liked the Truth Seeker, Ren Suo could just play more games, earn more summoning time, letting Dong Chengling often meet and chat with the Truth Seeker, discussing the four approaches to cultivation.

But Dong Chengling liked Ren Suo *as* the Truth Seeker…

For a moment, Ren Suo couldn't distinguish whether his and Dong Chengling's feelings were romantic love between a man and woman, or a budding yuri romance.

However, Dong Chengling quickly acted and gave him the answer. "Suo, change back."

Ren Suo nodded. He switched all programs to his True Form, transforming both mind and body back, wondering if Dong Chengling would feel disappointed that the Truth Seeker had turned back into an ordinary man.

Then, the next second, he was pulled into Dong Chengling's embrace and passionately hugged.

"Suo, thank you for protecting me." Between parted lips, Dong Chengling softly said, "I, Dong Chengling, am willing to acknowledge that you are stronger than me."

Ren Suo blinked, looking at her, puzzled.

"I promised before, if one day you are stronger than me, then those excessive demands of yours..."

Ren Suo's heart rate increased instantly.

Many thoughts sprang up in his mind: Affinity 100% unlocked, LAN multiplayer permit, a permanent bond that couldn't be lost…

"...I still won't agree."

Ren Suo's face visibly fell. Dong Chengling could not help but giggle, gently kissing his forehead. "Suo, we must climb to the pinnacle of cultivators together and witness a broader world."

I may not agree, but if you insist on pushing me, perhaps...

This sentence, she couldn't tell him.

"Yes!"

'Dong Chengling Bond Level Up!'

Lost in Dong Chengling's embrace, Ren Suo muttered to himself, wishing he could receive rewards before fighting the BOSS.

Ordinary RPG games give rewards after defeating the BOSS because the protagonist will still face more BOSSes afterward, but what more battles would Ren Suo face!

"Don't be so disappointed. Although I won't agree to those excessive demands of yours, but... Suo?"

Only then did Dong Chengling realize that Ren Suo was completely unable to stand up on his own; if not for her holding him, he would have almost collapsed into a slump.

Ren Xingmei, gently nudged forward by Lorifes, finally dared to come over and support Ren Suo, anxiously asking, "Bro, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, just..." Ren Suo forced a smile. "I overclocked myself too heavily just now, leaving me completely drained. Let me recover for a bit."

As previously mentioned, although the thought program could be switched, the body program could not; instead, the existing program was modified. All the injuries suffered, the accumulated fatigue, and the hardships endured—all would be returned in full measure.

Just now, Ren Suo had used the body of the Truth Seeker to accommodate the operational environment required by the Truth Seeker's thought program. However, Ren Suo's True Form was not that of the Truth Seeker. It was equivalent to forcibly overclocking himself using special means to run a large program that was normally unrunnable.

Now that Ren Suo had reverted to his True Form, the consequences of the overclocking erupted in full, manifesting as a weak state where Ren Suo had no strength throughout his body.

"Xing Mei, Cheng Ling... I'm really hungry."

Dong Chengling was slightly taken aback, then helped him up, earnestly saying, "I'll cook as soon as we get back."

Ren Xingmei supported him on the other side, saying, "I have a pile of snacks in my suitcase. If it's still there, I'll feed you until you're full."

Ren Suo used "Saving Lives and Healing the Injured" to restore some of his physical strength, barely able to walk.

Lorifes sighed and created air stairs for them, allowing them to run directly through the air towards the airport.

By then, no Divine Descendant dared to approach them. The fall of ten Great Magistrates and seventy thousand troops, along with the decimated battlefield spanning the fourth through seventh rings, had completely demoralized all the Divine Descendants in Luoyin City. They watched their departure as if witnessing the end of an era.

Just as they reached the non-No-Hunting Zone at the airport, the dimensional plane of Luoyin City suddenly began to tremble, and Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei simultaneously stopped in their tracks.

"My Qi Cyclone has started spinning!" they exclaimed simultaneously.

Ren Suo instantly realized what had happened—the Great Lord had been exiled! The curse from the Great Lord's power that Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei experienced had also vanished like a rootless weed!

"Lorifes!"

"I had them prepare in advance!" Holding the Sony Identity Bracelet, Lorifes quickly sent out the reserved information and soon received a reply: "Commanders of the Five Great War Zones have opened the dimensional barrier nodes! Now, the entire Didra Dimension, including Luoyin City, can undergo dimensional traversal as long as it's outside the No-Hunting Zones!"

Well-prepared, Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei each took out a belt and cartridge to equip themselves. Now that the power of the Great Lord had lost its restrictions, everyone, including Earthlings, could use any belt and cartridge without licensing!

With their help, Ren Suo barely managed to equip himself with the belt and cartridge, looking at Lorifes and saying, "Well... goodbye, Lorifes. The power of the Great Lord is fading, and we must return before the energy in the cartridges is exhausted."

"Have you considered staying?" Lorifes said. "As you mentioned, Los successfully exiled the Great Lord, becoming the hero of Didra. You have also obliterated most of the Bloodline Great Magistrates and the Didra army, effectively using up the last bit of resistance from the Empire."

"With this political capital, I will help Los govern Didra. Soon, you could enjoy endless glory and riches here..."

"There's no need; many people are waiting for us to return," said Ren Suo. "And you guys should be cautious not to let the Dragon Slayer become the Evil Dragon."

Lorifes took a second to understand Ren Suo's words, then shook her head. "That's something difficult to watch for; people change. I now despise those incompetent privileged classes, but when I sit in that position later, I can't predict what I will become."

Lorifes's ability to overpower Sony as Didra's top critic was primarily because she had a calm view of the world. "So, I need Los, and Los needs me."

"Los has principles, and I have methods. Together, we support and monitor each other to achieve our ideals ruthlessly while staying true to our initial purposes."

She said, "Whether in good times or bad, if one does not have a trusted companion, a lonely heart is prone to change... You are a perfect example.

"Being deep in enemy territory, trusting each other, never despairing nor giving up, and ultimately toppling an empire... It's a tale not even children would believe."

Lorifes removed her Descendant of God Helmet, revealing her silver-white hair, placed her hands on her hips, and looked at them. "But, I will remember this marvelous time. Your story will become the epic of this world, and minstrels will sing of your legend."

"To avoid shaming the epic, legends must not fall..."

Lorifes scanned the three of them, lingering on Ren Xingmei for a long while. "You must live happily in Another World. Otherwise, the children who believe in this fairy tale will cry."

Ren Xingmei quietly tightened her grip on Ren Suo's hand. Ren Suo glanced at her and squeezed her palm to reassure her not to worry.

At that moment, a resounding shout from Luoyin City suddenly pierced the sky: "Lorifes—"

Lorifes's face turned red as she turned her head towards the Royal Court and said in embarrassed anger, "How can that guy shout like that? Doesn't he know it's embarrassing?"

Suddenly, Lorifes asked, "Do you want to meet Los? Ren Suo, although I don't know how you did it, you always managed to cooperate with Los without any communication to overturn Didra..."

"Now Los has become a hero of Didra, but you can only return namelessly to Another World..."

Ren Suo looked at a rapidly approaching black dot in the distance and smiled slightly. "Forget it. You guys will definitely spend a good thirty minutes sweetly reuniting, and I can't wait that long."

Lorifes instantly got angry. "What do you mean by that?"

"We're short on time now; let's save the meeting for next time," Ren Suo tilted his head. "There will definitely be a chance."

"I hope that when we meet again, you will already be living happily together."

Lorifes snorted. "I hope you are, too."

The reason Ren Suo refused wasn't that, but because in the game, Los always respectfully referred to players as the 'Supreme Overlord of the Unseen,' and now Ren Suo was nothing but a feeble mess.

Just like an idol wouldn't dare show their bare face to their fans, Ren Suo didn't dare let Los see him like this!

And...

"The Dawn Morning Star has risen, and it's time for the Twilight Fading Flower to exit the stage."

Ren Suo put his hand on the belt button and suddenly laughed. "Lorifes, although you are a flamethrower, you don't seem to swear much. Just a moment ago, Sony took the opportunity to curse me a lot."

Using 'Miracle Full Moon', he drew Sony's miracle. While it was very useful, the cost felt almost like Sony's Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred towards Ren Suo.

But the cost, like the miracle, only lasted for three minutes, so it didn't affect Ren Suo at all.

"So-called curses are just another name for wishes," Lorifes waved her hand. "I'm not a Divine Descendant; as long as it doesn't interfere with my happiness, I will not envy someone else's happiness."

Ren Suo blinked, recalling the miracle costs of Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei, and couldn't help but glance at them.

There would be a lot of trouble waiting back home.

I haven't been to work in days, the Dong Chengling Family is in chaos, I've been missing for several days, Zhao Huo is probably back, Luna has been exposed...

And I need to bring Xingmei home to talk to her parents, and find Chengling to claim the previous rewards...

In a moment, Ren Suo was overwhelmed with a myriad of thoughts.

"Chengling, Xingmei."

As the black dot in the distance almost flew over, he gently pressed the activation button on his belt.

"Let's go home."
