Mini World Game Console-Chapter 819 - 820: Your House is Really Messy

Speaking of which, Ren Suo hadn't formally summoned game characters in quite a while.

Recalling the summons of the past few months, they were either to cook, or summoned temporarily for fights and chats, and there were even occasions of summoning for group fights.

The last time he summoned game characters properly in the game was around October while playing "Hand of Fate."

In "Cataclysm of Tomorrow," summoning characters was a one-time consumption of summon time, which could be described as unexpected yet reasonable.

Ren Suo realized that real cosmic wars couldn't possibly end in a matter of minutes. If calculated in game time, Ren Suo profited. If in real-time, he suffered a huge loss. Thus, it was reasonable for the game characters to remain throughout the entire level after a one-time large expenditure. On this basis, the game console would inevitably prohibit him from summoning repeatedly. Just like certain promotional items are limited to one per person at a fifty percent discount, taking advantage meant having to take a small loss. Otherwise, if Ren Suo could rely on characters like "Truth Seeker" and "Ren Han" to crush several levels consecutively, what was the need for the Cultivators Legion? And according to Ren Suo's experience in the tavern, game characters were like normal people. They needed rest and entertainment. If the same character was summoned over and over to work overtime in a massive cosmic war, even a model worker would find it unbearable, let alone overusing "Ren Han" just because he was useful. Seeing that the Mini-World Game Console specifically created a Mystic Tavern for game characters to chat and shoot the breeze, it showed that the console treated the game characters quite well.

Thinking of this, Ren Suo suddenly smacked his head in realization, paused "Cataclysm of Tomorrow," and entered the Mystic Tavern.

As usual, the tavern was dimly lit. The owner was chatting with a customer at the bar.

What was unusual was that this customer was very rare.

"Supreme Supreme!?"

Los turned his head in surprise toward Ren Suo and bowed. "Thank you for your guidance and assistance."

Ren Suo typed nonchalantly, "Mutual help, no need for thanks, but I appreciate your sentiment. However, weren't you the new leader in Didra? How come you have time to drink in the Mystic Tavern?"

Los nodded. "Most of the government affairs are handled by Lorifes's think tank, and I am still learning. I am not here to drink today but to buy books from the owner."

Ren Suo typed, "Buying books?"

Los replied, "Since the Sixteen Great Monarchs have been exiled, the previous energy resources of Didra can't be used. But luckily, I still have the power of the Dragonborn, and after the exile of the Great Lords, the spirituality of Didra people has recovered. Even without the Great Lord Cartridge, we can manipulate spiritual energy, so we are developing new ways to utilize energy based on past foundations."

"The owner here also has many books on how to utilize natural energy, which we, having been ensconced in the cradle of the Great Lords for thousands of years, need. Besides, there are some social theories that Lorifes is interested in."

Ren Suo was curious and typed, "What social theories?"

Los said, "'Das Kapital' and the like."

Ren Suo thought for a while. Knowing Lorifes's mentality of 'better I owe the world than the world owes me,' she probably wanted to propagate 'the theory of surplus value' in the Didra Plane. Now, with a plane awaiting renewal and a population of over one hundred million under her design and manipulation, as a woman recognized by Sony the Great, Lorifes, trusted by the leader Los, would surely take this opportunity to become Didra's eternal nobility in a more legitimate, more covert, and more acceptable manner. Although she disdained the Divine Descendants utterly, she had never hidden her desire to become one. With her skills, she would not just be a Divine Descendant; she would be better than one.

However, Ren Suo wasn't particularly concerned about this. If Lorifes rigidly transplanted Earth theories, it would most likely collapse mid-way—Didra people are quite different from Earthlings. To put it nicely, Didra people are tough; bluntly, they are all sources of social instability. He vividly remembered Xides narrating history: Didra people were actually invaders. Only after they had exterminated all the races in their main dimension did Didra become the sole race; they wrote the history, and they ruled the land. But inherently, they are a warlike race, only previously suppressed by the Sixteen Great Monarchs, thus keeping them in check. Yet even so, the Great Monarchs constantly waged wars among themselves, and countless factions existed within the nation. This made Didra people adept at both external and internal strife. They would fear absolute power but not authority. In such conditions, Lorifes's attempts to fleece these wolves through capitalism could backfire at any moment.

Although Ren Suo despised these capitalists who exploited surplus value, these matters had little to do with him. He was more curious about other things: "Los, have you and Lorifes gotten married?"

"Eh?... Supreme Supreme, what are you talking about?" Los said, sounding a bit nervous.

Ren Suo typed, "Not yet? One of you is overthrowing an empire out of undying loyalty to create a suitable world for your sister, while the other willingly goes undercover with a villain to help her brother escape a dire situation. I thought you two would seize the hard-won happiness."

Los stammered, "We will definitely seize happiness, but... but... but... "

He fumbled for words, unable to articulate anything, completely lacking the poise of Didra's number one boss, and awkwardly changed the subject. "Speaking of Lorifes, she has been acting a bit weird lately, always forgetful and asking me pointless questions. She's very efficient when dealing with governmental affairs, but she becomes somewhat foolish once off duty. Supreme Supreme, did she get a brain injury in the previous wars?"

Ren Suo typed, "Once she stops liking you, she'll be her usual clever self again."

Los felt somewhat helpless—didn't you notice I was avoiding the topic!?

"Supreme Supreme, I should go back and make a late-night snack for Lorifes. I must take my leave."

Los bowed slightly and said, "Supreme Supreme, for the kindness you've shown to Didra, there's nothing Didra can do to repay you. Should the need arise, Didra is willing to rally vast armies to wage war across infinite dimensions for the Supreme Supreme."

Ren Suo typed, "There's no need to be so formal; we can just be friends. When I require Didra's assistance, I won't hesitate to ask."

"You will always be a friend of Didra," Los said earnestly and left the tavern.

Then Ren Suo said to the tavern owner, "Can you blacklist Los so that, unless I agree, he won't be able to enter the tavern?"

The tavern owner: "..."

That was actually possible! A customer list appeared on the screen, with options to "Deny Access," "Ask for Access," and "Any Access." Currently, all game characters had "Any Access" permissions. Ren Suo then changed Los's permission to "Ask for Access," because he only remembered when he saw Los that in Los's eyes, he was the omnipotent Supreme Supreme. He must never let Los see him working as a waiter in the tavern. Ren Suo had his dignity too! So he could only blacklist Los, not letting him into the tavern while the clone was working.

After handling this matter, Ren Suo asked the tavern owner, "How can I clear the second chapter of 'Cataclysm of Tomorrow' without using Krypton Gold or other methods?"

[Rational Ren Suo] had emphasized the usefulness of the Mystic Tavern many times in his memory, and since Ren Suo couldn't beat the second chapter, he finally remembered this.

"10 Merit Points."

After receiving the Merit Points, the tavern owner indifferently said, "If you want to clear the second chapter using only in-game resources, you must acquire 'Head of the Remnant Soldiers,' 'Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains,' and 'Initial Radiance' as Future Cultivators through public recruitment and Seek Visits. Moreover, you must find 'Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains' before starting the first chapter and obtain the 'Token of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains' by clearing the first chapter. Then, in the cosmic war of the second chapter, you consume the Token."

Ren Suo blinked and took a while to understand the meaning of the tavern owner's words. Firstly, Ren Suo knew 'Head of the Remnant Soldiers' was the Nine-Turn Cultivator, Dragon King Zhao Huo, so 'Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains' and 'Initial Radiance' must also be Nine-Turn Cultivators. Then, not only did Ren Suo need to draw three Nine-Turn Future Cultivators, but he also had to specifically use 'Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains' to perfectly clear the first chapter and, by sheer luck, draw his Token—Ren Suo only got 'Xiao Meng's Token' from clearing the first chapter!

"After receiving a decent tip, the tavern owner secretly tells you: Give up hope, your luck has already been used up."

Indeed, it was all about luck! If his luck was bad and he couldn't find the key Cultivators, then Ren Suo could forget about clearing it without spending! Although Ren Suo knew that games rated four stars or higher in the Mini-World required players to use their ability items and Merit Points to help the main character clear them, he hadn't expected such a 6 stars+++ game to be so harsh on players who didn't spend. And this was only the second chapter! How much more money would need to be spent in the future! Ren Suo couldn't help but sigh. If it had been before, maybe Ren Suo would have straight up said, 'I'm not playing anymore.'

But now he played not only for Merit Points and to save the world, but also for his own happiness. Even if not for himself, he had to consider Zhao Huo's happiness too! So he must play this game. Zhao Huo's last wife... or rather, the last of the Remnant Soldiers, had to be bought! After all, the whole family should stick together to save the world.

He sighed softly, and Ren Suo left his clone in the tavern.

Actually, it was recalling the words 'overtime' and 'tavern' that made him remember to visit the Mystic Tavern. After all, he had played all day today, and the careless Ren Suo had forgotten to let his clone go to work. So he hurriedly summoned his clone to let it breathe some fresh air and enjoy the freedom of working happily in the tavern.

Returning to 'Cataclysm of Tomorrow,' Ren Suo no longer hesitated and chose to summon game characters!

Outside Neptune's pale blue atmosphere, two portals in the void appeared, and from them, two unfamiliar silhouettes emerged.

"Not deterred by the long snowy mountain paths, I have come to visit. Supreme Supreme, the Fairy Palace butler offers you the highest respect," said one.

Covered in black alloy battle armor, with joints slightly glowing purplish-red like a high-tech Superman, the Fairy Palace Assassin said with a light smile.

"Every time you summon me, it's definitely not to treat me to a meal... Supreme Supreme, the only Priest obeys the Spirit King's decree to bless this beautiful world," said the other.

Tall and slender, handsome and dashing in a white robe, adorned with various firearms, wearing small cannons on his shoulders, dual-wielding two dark gold automatic rifles, and with a cigarette in his mouth, Zhao Zili said nonchalantly.

Ren Suo was baffled. Logically, he had already guessed that the game characters summoned in 1999 would likely be in their 2049 state; otherwise, it wouldn't explain why these game characters' combat power had dramatically increased. But it's fine that you've become stronger; how come even your skins have changed? Fairy Palace Assassin, weren't you the one who played with firearms? Why have you switched to being Iron Man? And weren't you an assassin? Why have you now become a butler? Zhao Zili, weren't you a fatty? Doesn't The Three Gods' Church require all Priests to be unlikable fatties? Aren't you afraid of being burned at the stake for being so handsome? And you just said you came by the decree of the Spirit King, what about The Three Gods' Church? Have you deserted them?

Ren Suo was full of questions now, and it seemed as though the Fairy Palace Assassin, across the screen, sensed this and said with a smile, "Supreme Supreme, we are ready to join the battle at any time."

Ren Suo snapped out of it. Right, we can talk about the questions later. Let's clear the mission first; I can't waste the 'Rippling Spring Sounds' time!

The game popped up a notification: "You can use support characters as independent units (providing 100% combat power), or you can merge support characters with the Cultivators Legion (providing 200%~1000% combat power)."

Ren Suo naturally chose to merge his game characters with the Cultivators Legion. The Fairy Palace Assassin could merge with either the Xiao Meng Troop or the Asami Mizuhashi Troop, and Ren Suo chose the Xiao Meng Troop; Zhao Zili could only merge with the Sun Shu Troop.

The second chapter of the battle reopened. The first wave of attacks was a piece of cake, so Ren Suo honestly arranged for Dragon King Zhao Huo and Sakura Kyoko, and then deployed Xiao Meng, Asami Mizuhashi, and Sun Shu.

After the appearance of the Heavy Front Battleship, which resembled a cosmic drill, Ren Suo understood that his summons this time were totally worth it!

Even though they were a whole eight galactic units away, the Fairy Palace Assassin still stretched out his hand toward the Heavy Front Battleship, his palm lighting up with the deep-blue radiance of an energy cannon, while simultaneously, every archer in the Xiao Meng Troop drew their bows!

"Fire."

As the energy cannon in the Fairy Palace Assassin's palm erupted, three thousand arrows also crossed the galaxy at the same time!

Although the Heavy Front Battleship was far beyond the attack range, the deep-blue palm cannon seemed to have a gravitational pull, tightly attracting all the arrows around it, carrying three thousand meteors, and smashing into the Heavy Front Battleship!

Even when shot at close range and unafraid of energy gathering damage, the Heavy Front Battleship now had one of its spikes blasted away despite being eight galactic units away!

Energy attacks unable to break through the opponent's armor? Then, strengthen it until it can break through the opponent's armor! It's about forcefully shooting and blasting you!

While the Ark Troops were approaching, the Fairy Palace Assassin-led Xiao Meng Troop had already blasted one Heavy Front Battleship!

However, there were still two more Heavy Front Battleships, as well as other Pepe Shrimp Battleships and Worm Battleships!

Ren Suo also deployed Ren Qingqing, and the Fortress Monks in the Ren Qingqing Troop immediately erected the Shield of the Universe before the Heavy Front Battleship!

Like a drill, the Heavy Front Battleship struck against the Ren Qingqing Troop's Shield of the Universe, stirring up endless ripples. The shield appeared to be close to collapse.

Just then, a flash of white light exploded within the Ren Qingqing Troop, instantly restoring the Shield of the Universe to its original state, even making it sturdier. The Fortress Monks also stopped trembling as if an endless power surged within them!

"Before I give the okay, no one is allowed to fall."

With a cigarette in his mouth and wielding rocket launchers, Zhao Zili chuckled and fired a healing nuclear blast at the melee troops!

Under the healing led by Zhao Zili's Sun Shu Troop, not only did the Ren Qingqing Troop hold back one Heavy Front Battleship, even the Dragon King Zhao Huo Troop managed to forcefully confront another Heavy Front Battleship!

This terrifying healing power! Ren Suo admitted he was no match for it.

Sakura Kyoko, Xiao Meng, and Asami Mizuhashi quickly eliminated the other Worm Battleships and Pepe Shrimp Battleships, then focused all their energies on the other two Heavy Front Battleships.

When they finally dealt with another Heavy Front Battleship, a new wave of attacks had already surged in!

Three more Heavy Front Battleships!

The attack units were still the first to clear the small battleships, and the task of holding back the Heavy Front Battleships was naturally assigned to the Ren Qingqing Troop and Dragon King Troop!

A two-thousand-member Cultivators Legion, in the vast universe, was actually quite insignificant.

Even compared to the greatly weakened Heavy Front Battleship, the Cultivators Legion was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

And during this process, Worm Battleships, Pepe Shrimp Battleships, and Black Iron Robots continued their advance. They were like jackals following behind a lion, ready to kill if not careful!

However, relying on the powerful output of the Fairy Palace Assassin and the healing from Zhao Zili, all the miscellaneous soldiers were unable to break through the Cultivators Legion's defenses. The Ren Qingqing Troop and Dragon King Troop actually managed to withstand the long assaults of several Heavy Front Battleships!

But the number of enemy units continued to increase. The Fairy Palace Assassin couldn't eliminate them in time. The Ren Qingqing Troop and Dragon King Troop showed signs of fatigue, and even though Zhao Zili could keep them healed, they seemed unable to hold out much longer!

As time ticked by, just when it looked like they were on the brink of a devastating defeat and survival seemed all but lost, the countdown at the top of the screen reached zero!

"00:00"

"The Immortal Origin of Neptune has been fully activated."

Instantly, the game screen turned gray-white, and time seemed to have stopped.

In this cold world, only one person could still move.

The only splash of color, shining from the Supreme Supreme, lit up.

Gently, he threw a punch forward.

The colorful radiance of the punch ignited all the gray in the world.

Neither the Heavy Front Battleships, which destroyed everything in their path, nor the insignificant Worm Battleships, had any resistance at all under the radiance!

As the radiance spread, time began to turn again, battleships were utterly annihilated, and Cultivators were restored to their original state!

In an instant, all enemy units were wiped out, and all friendly units were restored to their peak condition!

All the Cultivators of the Legion were stunned, turning their heads to look towards the Supreme Supreme.

"Basic operations. Fight seriously."

The Supreme Supreme said indifferently, then teleported to nearby Uranus, activating the Immortal Origin inside, continuing to maintain the State of Unity Magic of the Cultivators Legion.

The main difficulty of the second chapter seemed to be the six Heavy Front Battleships at the front.

Although many Worm Battleships and Black Iron Robots appeared later, these enemy units could be annihilated by the Cultivators Legion alone, let alone now with the help of the Fairy Palace Assassin and Zhao Zili.

BOOM.

When the last Worm Battleship exploded silently in the universe, almost all the Future Cultivators dropped their weapons and lazily floated in space. Even the usually showy Dragon King Zhao Huo and Sakura Kyoko were now resting on others.

"Victory in Battle."

Ren Suo also breathed a sigh of relief. The difficulty of the second chapter was indeed too high. He had just seen the defenses about to collapse and thought the Mini-World Game Console was toying with him or that he hadn't used the Fairy Palace Assassin or Zhao Zili properly; he hadn't expected that the main role of these two game characters was to buy time. Once the Immortal Origin was activated successfully, the Supreme Supreme would deliver that strike, annihilating all enemies on the battlefield! Although he didn't achieve the highest rating, at least he had cleared it.

"Since you're not treating me to a meal, I'm going back," said Zhao Zili, throwing away the cigarette butt in his mouth and glancing at the surrounding Future Cultivators. "Alas, the Spirit King isn't even born yet; there's nothing interesting to see…"

With that, Zhao Zili transformed into a beam of white light and vanished completely.

The Fairy Palace Assassin flew up to the Supreme Supreme, removed his helmet to reveal a handsome face, and smiled. "Supreme Supreme, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back too."

The Supreme Supreme asked, "How are things over there? Did anything happen?"

The Fairy Palace Assassin thought for a moment and said, "There is a small matter, but I'm not sure if I should speak of it."

The Supreme Supreme replied, "You should not."

The Fairy Palace Assassin said, "But as a friend, I feel I shouldn't hide this from you."

Then why the hell are you hesitating? This Fairy Palace Assassin turns out to be a hidden gossipmonger after all. Wait, how are the Fairy Palace Assassin and the Supreme Supreme friends? Hold on, if I'm clearing the game now in 2019, then the Supreme Supreme of 2049 will become a game character. Then the Supreme Supreme could meet the 2019 Fairy Palace Assassin in the tavern. So, by 2049, the Fairy Palace Assassin and the Supreme Supreme would naturally be friends… Ren Suo brainstormed for a while and felt that this logic seemed to make sense.

The Supreme Supreme asked, "What exactly happened?"

The Fairy Palace Assassin replied, "Your daughter has usurped your position and is trying to consolidate your forces. She'll attempt to overthrow you once you return."

The Supreme Supreme: "...?"

The Fairy Palace Assassin: "Your son, not wanting your daughter to usurp you, is also consolidating your forces under your name."

The Supreme Supreme: "...??"

The Fairy Palace Assassin: "Your other children are taking sides, seizing the chance to split your estate."

The Supreme Supreme: "...???"

The Fairy Palace Assassin: "Aside from this small matter, there's nothing else particularly special. Just that others have discovered your family is dividing your estate, thinking you've already died."

Ren Suo watched, utterly dumbfounded. Who exactly is the Supreme Supreme of 2049? How many children does he have? How much wealth does he possess? How extensive are his forces? Why did his children start fighting over the inheritance as soon as he left? And what does usurping mean? Is there a throne in the Supreme Supreme's family? Numerous doubts swirled in Ren Suo's mind, scenes of soap opera family dramas flashing before his eyes. All words ultimately condensed into one sentence— Your family is really a mess.
