Mini World Game Console-Chapter 808 - 809: Lin Xianyu’s Crisis

"No one can return to the past, but anyone can start from now."

"Future Echo intensifies, cultivator foundations in Unity Magic Cultivation increased."

Ren Suo, who was in the airport waiting hall, had already grown accustomed to the nonsensical notifications popping up on his phone again.

Ever since "Top-secret Archives" was released, such messages popped up every few minutes; by careful count, there were at least a hundred of them.

Because he carried the Mini-World Game Console with him via the "Heart Chamber," Ren Suo could also play "Cataclysm of Tomorrow" on his phone without fear of being seen by others.

On a mobile phone, this game was just a combination of a nurturing and tower-defense game and was not very conspicuous. There were many such deceptive games on the market, like "Heavens and Earth Calamity: Ren Family Illusionary Sword Record," which used the 'Eastern Han Ren Family' as a selling point. The character drawings of the Ren Family Descendants were incredibly attractive. Moreover, because Ren Han was not quite dead yet, the historical Family Heads couldn't be feminized. This, in turn, led to a female player count that far exceeded other games.

"Wow, it's really Teacher Zhao! And Xiao Meng Sister too!" Lin Xianyu was shouting excitedly. "BOO HOO HOO, a poor person who's never been out of the country, and the bigshot here has already traveled the stars when they were just a few years old..."

Sitting to the left of Ren Suo, Little Jiu was holding a Black Cat. She shook Ren Suo's hand, and her eyes were Twinkle Twinkle Bright and Shiny as she asked, "Big Brother, I want to go play on Pluto too!"

Is that the point?

"I don't want to," Ren Suo refused mercilessly.

Although Ren Suo had known that "Cataclysm of Tomorrow" was a multi-chapter game, he was still somewhat surprised when the first chapter of "Cataclysm of Tomorrow" got broadcast.

Because unlike "Over My Dead Body," the broadcast of "Cataclysm of Tomorrow" did not trigger a chain reaction in history. In the past, when "Over My Dead Body" appeared, many people suddenly found unofficial historical records about the Eastern Han Ren Family. 'Demon-Exterminator Ren' had supposedly left footprints all across the Three Kingdoms and the Jin dynasty. Furthermore, some records, previously considered fantastic by historians, could also corroborate the Ren Family's existence. This made Ren Suo wonder if such a family truly existed.

Now, after the first episode of "Cataclysm of Tomorrow," "Top-secret Archives," was broadcast, such a situation did not arise. Compared with the very few "Ah, I remember now" individuals, most people were bewildered.

The year 1999?

Interstellar wars?

The Supreme Supreme appeared back then?

A group of children, through the power of the future, turned into handsome boys and beautiful girls and repelled the first wave of alien invasion?

Which children's animation plot is this?

However, the problem was that Ren Naiser released this video.

And those Future Cultivators who appeared in the video and could traverse the galaxy, battling across the universe, do exist in reality!

Zhao Huo's data has already been dug up and posted in the comments section of this video, pushed up by countless 'We really miss Team Leader Zhao' enthusiastic team members. Someone even posted a group number, seemingly wanting to group together to 'visit' Zhao Huo.

This was quite normal because the moment Zhao Huo declared victory for the forces of Justice and the Pretty Soldier was really shocking, with all members of the Dragon King Group making it into the camera frame.

If their stances were still that of children it would be one thing, but that was them in their adult state!

Although many people still found it hard to accept this video, the faces of anyone who dared to doubt Ren Naiser had already been slapped swollen. Therefore, at most, people wouldn't comment; anyone who dared to question it would definitely be trampled.

Ren Suo opened the internal network on his phone. He never expected the privilege of a Level-4 Researcher to "log into mysterious websites anytime, anywhere" to come in handy so soon.

Unlike the general public, Researchers did not doubt the authenticity of Ren Naiser's video.

Moreover, the internal network released an image that had been processed, clearly showing an image of the Solar System planets being attacked. It was said to have been interpreted from "Truth" and had its authenticity confirmed.

They also found many of the Future Cultivators who had appeared in the video, discovering they indeed recalled their experiences from the Fourth Stage Of Unity Magic, and battling across the cosmos.

After official authentication, everyone naturally had no more doubts about the interstellar war in 1999. The points of debate naturally boiled down to two: the Immortal civilization 'Ark' and the Supreme Supreme.

But as information on the 'Ark' was extremely scarce, most people discussed the situation of the Supreme Supreme. Even though the video had no eyewitness evidence, since it claimed that the Supreme Supreme personally descended and led the Cultivators Legion to confront the invaders, it was unlikely to be false.

"Why did the Supreme Supreme mobilize the Cultivators Legion instead of sending Members of the Fairy Palace to block the battle?"

"Why does the government have no record whatsoever of the 1999 war?"

"Why didn't the Supreme Supreme personally exterminate the enemies?"

The Researchers were mainly discussing these three issues. Considering that only one episode of "Top-secret Archives" has been broadcast so far, everyone was hesitant to draw a conclusion. However, several views received a lot of support.

Researcher Xin: "Not to mention the past, even now, the appearance frequency of the Fairy Palace and World Tree members is extremely rare. Based on the statements of many Members of the Fairy Palace, it's not difficult to conclude that descending from the Fairy Palace incurs a huge cost and they only appear when absolutely necessary."

"As for their ability to descend to our world, just the fact that they could travel far to the Didra Plane and annihilate the Didra army speaks volumes. If they wish, the plane universe is not a problem at all."

"This type of restriction might be nature's protection for us, or it could be a limitation set by the heavens and earth on supernatural forces. In any case, if you switch to the year 1999 when Spiritual Energy had not yet revived, the difficulty for supernatural forces to descend would probably increase by a hundredfold, if not a thousandfold."

"Perhaps at that time, the Fairy Palace could only allow one person to descend, which is why the Supreme Supreme appeared. As for other Members of the Fairy Palace, they might not necessarily be absent since only a portion of the Top-secret Archives was released."

Researcher 22: "In an era where Spiritual Energy was in Annihilation, every action by the Supreme Supreme likely depleted his own foundations, so it's understandable that he did not act. It's quite possible that there was no crisis worthy of his intervention, and the fact that Earth is still intact and humanity still reigns supreme proves that 1999 was a victory for Earth."

"According to the report investigation, some of the Future Cultivators who appeared in the video have now awakened their Unity Magic memories. With these memories, they will certainly find Cultivation easier. It seems that the Supreme Supreme allowed them to gain the Future Echo to fight for Earth, essentially training them."

Researcher 33: "Before the video came out, nobody had any memories, but after it was released, the participants began to recall. There is no doubt that the Supreme Supreme sealed the memories of all Earthlings himself! He must have believed the time was right to allow Ren Naiser to release the video, gradually awakening the memories of Earthlings and bringing this buried epic back into the world."

"Even if the purpose of the Supreme Supreme is unknown, the fact that he wields such global influence is shocking."

Ren Suo slapped his head. At that time, he had casually named himself 'Supreme Supreme' on a whimsical impulse, feeling that the game's protagonist was incredible enough to be worthy of that title.

But he forgot that as the de facto leader of the Fairy Palace, 'Supreme Supreme' was not just one member; his every action is subject to endless analysis. The Supreme Supreme represented the entire Fairy Palace, and his attitude was that of the Fairy Palace.

It was normal for the Researchers to be so tense about it. For instance, Federal Angel Zack offended the Handsome Monkey King, but Angel Zack was not afraid. After all, the Handsome Monkey King was just one member of the Fairy Palace; at worst, upon their next encounter, he would... just get beaten up by the Handsome Monkey King again.

But what if Angel Zack offended the Supreme Supreme?

Let's not go into detail. However, if during Didra's invasion, the Supreme Supreme only protected other places and not the Federation, that alone would be enough for Angel Zack to slit his own throat in apology.

Why didn't the Supreme Supreme take action? Why not dispatch Members of the Fairy Palace? Why...

Having taken on this name, Ren Suo had to ensure that 'Supreme Supreme' performed actions befitting his status; otherwise, the entire Fairy Palace would suffer in reputation, and even instill fear among people.

Fortunately, Ren Suo hadn't created too much of a mess, and now some slip-ups had occurred, the internal network Researchers had found excuses for him. All Ren Suo needed to do was to continue perfecting the persona of Supreme Supreme in the upcoming game.

It sounds easy, but it's very difficult to do.

Although Supreme Supreme was powerful and had the support of people like the Heavenly Maiden Sovereign, Ren Suo always felt that this Supreme Supreme was... a bit unreliable.

Is it because he was addicted to gaming for months, nearly forgetting to time travel and save the world?

Is it because he willingly pulled out a little dress and gave it to Dragon King Zhao Huo?

Or is it because he radiated an irresponsible air of a Sand Sculpture?

"This time it's a bust, I've entrusted the title of Supreme Supreme to the wrong person..."

Ren Suo muttered, "But the first chapter has already been uploaded, there's no turning back now. I've got to act out all the bravado even through tears; otherwise, I'll be the fool..."

At that moment, an announcement suddenly came over the airport waiting area: "Passengers of flight HG4399, hello. Due to weather conditions, your flight..."

"It's already been delayed almost an hour," Qiao Muyi stamped her foot in frustration. "Another hour's delay?"

Dong Chengling, who had been reading a book, looked at the clock and said, "It's almost time for dinner, and the announcement also said it would be at least another hour's delay. Let's go eat."

"Where shall we go?" Ren Xingmei put down her phone, trying to stifle a yawn.

Gu Yueyan said, "How about going back to school to eat in the dining hall?"

"Huh?" Qiao Muyi kept shaking her head. "Let's go to the city center. There's a Southeast Asia restaurant near the teleportation point; I've eaten there before and it's quite good."

"Green curry, green curry!" Little Jiu was the first to respond!

Ren Suo looked around and asked, "Where's Xianyu?"

"Ah, she went to the bathroom as soon as she heard the delay announcement... she might be a while," Gu Yueyan said with slight embarrassment. "She ate a lot of barbecue yesterday, and even had spicy crayfish and crabs... she said she couldn't eat those abroad."

Dong Chengling said, "Shall we wait for her to return?"

Little Jiu was clearly annoyed, "Don't want to wait, Little Jiu is really hungry. Xianyu is getting so chubby, save Xianyu and let her skip a meal to lose some weight!"

"You should call her elder sister." Dong Chengling tapped Little Jiu's head gently. In this circle of friends, Little Jiu was close to everyone except for Lin Xianyu, whom she really didn't like, yet Lin Xianyu was very affectionate towards Little Jiu.

From Ren Suo's point of view, it seemed that Lin Xianyu enjoyed bothering Little Jiu precisely because she knew Little Jiu was annoyed but couldn't do anything about it. It was almost like 'I just love to see you annoyed and helpless.'

Ren Suo said, "Then you guys go ahead and order, and I'll stay here to wait for her to come back."

"Leave you here?" Ren Xingmei's eyes sharpened.

"There's only me, Young Master Mu, and Yueyan who have the permanent Spirit Energy Coordinates. Young Master Mu, you've been there more often so you can take charge of the menu. Yueyan, if I remember correctly, you have quite a lot of dietary restrictions, and I'm not picky at all. It's most suitable for me to stay." Ren Suo shook his phone, "And I have some writing to do."

Ren Suo's reasoning was sound, and everyone agreed. Dong Chengling said, "When Xianyu comes back, you can either trigger the Spirit Energy Coordinates or call us. We'll go order food now."

Watching Dong Chengling lead the group to a corner where they all disappeared in the blink of an eye, Ren Suo thought to himself that security checks really were meaningless for a Space Monk.

If Dong Chengling knew beforehand that there would be a two-hour delay, she probably would have already gone home to cultivate or to cook.

Now leading everyone to Teleport to the city for food was just a basic operation.

Ren Suo even suspected whether Dong Chengling would Teleport home to cultivate when sleeping at night...

Ren Suo wrote a few answers on the intranet to muddy the waters and was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. "Big Brother Ren, where are the others?"

"They've gone to eat."

"Really? They didn't wait for me?" Lin Xianyu complained. "Then we should hurry over there."

"No rush," Ren Suo asked, "I actually have something I want to ask you..."

"Ah, we can talk about it over dinner," Lin Xianyu chuckled.

"No, I really want to know." Ren Suo said earnestly, "Why... Xianyu, why are you joining this trip?"

On this trip, there were a total of seven people and one cat, with the cat obviously being a stowaway.

Among the rest, Little Jiu was brought along because there was no one to take care of her, and she could skip studying if she wanted to. After all, she had already 100% completed the 'elementary school' level; tagging along for the trip was no big deal.

But the presence of Lin Xianyu surprised Ren Suo. It was just that everyone was around earlier, so Ren Suo didn't find it convenient to ask, but now he finally found an opportunity to be alone with her.

Lin Xianyu blinked and suddenly propped her chin on her hands, saying coyly, "Eh, I can't really remember. Maybe going to that French restaurant will jog my memory..."

There's a French restaurant in the airport? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Emmmm..." After pondering for a moment, Ren Suo agreed to Lin Xianyu's suggestion despite it seeming like she was pulling his leg.

Because this matter was very important!

He suspected that Lin Xianyu was a Tool Person used by his girlfriends to test him!

Would they deliberately let Lin Xianyu stay alone in a room with him?

Would they deliberately have Lin Xianyu try to seduce him?

Would they...

The more he thought about it, the bigger Ren Suo's headache grew. He knew his mind was not as sharp as his girlfriends', and if they really had any schemes, they definitely wouldn't be ones he could see through!

If he could win over Lin Xianyu with just a meal and get Insight into the tests of this trip, it would undoubtedly be a bargain well worth it!

And as Cultivators, both of them had big appetites anyway. At worst, they could just eat the French meal and then go have Southeast Asia cuisine.

On the other hand, Lin Xianyu also felt a headache brewing, preparing to give Ren Suo a hard time and rip him off over the meal.

As for why she was joining the trip, it was certainly because of Ren Suo!

In fact, Lin Xianyu was also reluctant to join the trip, even though it was the little rich lady Ren Xingmei who was footing the bill. She knew that in this tour group, apart from her, even a cat had a link with Ren Suo.

This was too dangerous.

She felt like she had randomly intruded on a hero team as a villager, who insisted she wasn't there to fight the Great Demon King. But she still felt that she might end up being eaten by the Great Demon King Ren Suo anyway.

However, Qiao Muyi gave her three reasons she couldn't refuse: "Lin Xianyu, I know you're a smart person, so I'll just point out a few things.

"First, you're the only girl who hasn't encountered something when with Xiao Suo.

"Second, in the previous few incidents where Xiao Suo found himself in danger, it was usually because the women around him suddenly fell into crisis.

"Third, if you're with us, we can stick together and keep a tight grip on Xiao Suo. But if you're in Lian Jiang and something happens, we really can't help."

Qiao Muyi paused for a moment, then continued to explain, "I Hope you don't misunderstand. The crises aren't caused by Xiao Suo. In fact, it's the other way around; we bring them to Xiao Suo.

"Yueyan, Cheng Ling, and Xing Mei's experiences are known to you. They fell into danger due to unforeseeable external pressures. Xiao Suo got involved because he's part of the Fairy Palace staff, which allowed him to actively join them and share their fate.

"Lin Xianyu, you may not be the strongest in Cultivation, but you have powerful awakened spells, whose nature even I cannot fully comprehend.

"Lin Xianyu, although we are friends, our friendship certainly hasn't reached the level where you can be part of the two-person world I share with Xiao Suo.

"I don't want you involved in this trip, but we'd like to test if traveling can keep Xiao Suo away from danger.

"I am purely concerned for Xiao Suo's safety, which is why we want to bring you, an unstable element, with us. At least, if anything happens... we can offer help."

Qiao Muyi spoke frankly, and Lin Xianyu could naturally understand.

Sometimes, fate doesn't make sense. The Lunar Deity Trial chose the class president; Didra chose Little Star and Teacher Dong—these two spatial-temporal coordinates. So it wouldn't be surprising if a superpower suddenly appeared aiming to snatch away this peerless beauty.

Lin Xianyu understood and even scored a free trip around the world, but she still felt somewhat stifled.

Although this wasn't Ren Suo's fault, Lin Xianyu felt justified to take advantage of him and it was only natural to fleece him.

She had no intention of developing a closer relationship with Ren Suo, so it wouldn't hurt to fleece him mercilessly.

With their own ulterior motives, they entered a French restaurant. There were only a few people inside, and the waiter gave them two menus.

When they opened the menus, their eyes went blind.

They knew airport prices were high, and they knew French dining was expensive, but they never imagined that these two factors weren't additive but multiplicative!

Even Ren Suo, a working adult, felt it unbearable, not to mention Lin Xianyu, the student. After all, Ren Suo's savings were largely managed by Ren Xingmei.

The same thought crossed their minds: No wonder there are so few people here; who else would dine here but a fool!

Ren Suo and Lin Xianyu exchanged a glance. Lin Xianyu blinked and exclaimed, "Our flight time seems to be here!"

"Oh, right!" Ren Suo closed the menu. "I forgot about that, let's hurry, we'll come to try this French cuisine next time."

The two fled the restaurant like deserters, then couldn't help but burst into laughter once they were far enough away.

"Thank me, Big Brother Ren. Otherwise, you would have had a massive bleed from your wallet."

"You're no different. Your hand was trembling when you were holding the menu. The waiter surely knew you were broke."

"As if you were any different. The moment I made an excuse, you were relieved inside, weren't you?"

"Not at all. I am a worldly Fourth-Stage Cultivator. Remaining unfazed even if Mount Tai crumbles before me is one of my basic skills!"

"Even as a Fourth-Stage Cultivator, you can't just dine and dash, can you?"

Without embarrassment or disappointment, without losing face or pretending toughness, they teased each other about their poor personas while completely forgetting their purpose from a few minutes ago.

"What is so funny?"

The two jolted, turning their heads to see Dong Chengling's calm and pretty face. They mumbled a few words, and Dong Chengling didn't seem to mind much as she took their hands and said, "Let's go for dinner. The food is ready."

Hmm?

Maybe it was just an illusion, but Lin Xianyu felt that Dong Chengling's hand was a little forceful. When Dong Chengling asked the question earlier, her gaze seemed to linger on her.

Lin Xianyu suddenly realized a problem.

Indeed, an unpredictable supernatural attack is extremely dangerous.

But... is it not dangerous to be surrounded by a Voidwalker, Guile Witch, Goddess of the Bright Moon, and Time Wanderer?
