Mini World Game Console-Chapter 830 - 831: Ren Suo Takes the Blame

However, when Ren Suo opened the game, he realized there were still three hours to go before reaching the 72-hour mark—he had finished the second chapter in the middle of the night.

The flight from Osaka to New York required a transfer, so an hour later, they returned to Tokyo Haneda Airport and then boarded a large aircraft bound for Kennedy Airport.

Now Ren Suo finally had some leisure time to play with his phone. Since this flight was going to be a long 15-hour trip, they had booked first-class tickets, with private compartments for each person, beds one could lie down on, and the ability to wake up upon reaching their destination. They would arrive in New York in the afternoon, set down their luggage, and go out to have fun.

While they were led through the first-class corridor to the interior of the plane by a beautiful flight attendant, Lin Xianyu suddenly let out a wail.

Gu Yueyan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Boohoo, Class Rep, what am I going to do if I can't stand flying economy class anymore..." Lin Xianyu lamented while excitedly fiddling with the wash kits and bedding provided in first class. She turned to Ren Xingmei and said, "Little Star, do you need a secretary? I'm really good at making tea and fetching water!"

It only took six hours to go from Lianjiang to Tokyo, so it was quite normal for Ren Xingmei to book economy class. It wasn't until flying from Flourishing Sakura to the Federation that Ren Xingmei once again demonstrated her almighty purchasing power.

Actually, first class was just that; how much more luxurious could it get? Could it provide a 2080TI+9900K PC for passengers to have a five-player gaming session or play 'Restoring the Han Dynasty' at an altitude of over 7,000 meters?

Staying indoors every day is like first-class travel. —Ren Suo.

But it was undeniable that sleeping on an airplane was indeed a very tempting experience, the difference even greater than that between riding in a private car and squeezing onto a bus.

"I'm my brother's secretary, and you are my secretary, so what's your relationship with my brother?" Ren Xingmei asked Lin Xianyu, holding onto Ren Suo's arm.

"Am I your brother's little secret?... Nah, forget it." Lin Xianyu, holding the bag that contained the Black Cat, crawled into her compartment and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really nice to be rich, so nice."

"Ah, there is also a deluxe first-class cabin that can accommodate two people, but unfortunately, it has been booked," Ren Xingmei said with a hint of regret, while the others shook their heads—they couldn't understand the world of the filthy rich.

As for the price of that deluxe first-class cabin for two, they didn't know and didn't wish to ask.

"Mr. Ren, this way," said the flight attendant from Flourishing Sakura, who surprisingly spoke fluent Chinese, as she directed Ren Suo to his compartment.

Qiao Muyi raised her eyebrows, suddenly went over to kiss Ren Suo, and said, "Xiao Suo, good night."

Ren Xingmei immediately followed suit, hugging Ren Suo and giving him a deep kiss for one second. In that second, Ren Xingmei's fair and delicate face blushed to her ears, her voice as tender as if caressing his ears with cotton, "Brother, good night."

Gu Yueyan walked over, took out a tissue from her bag, handed it to Ren Suo, and said coldly, "Mr. Suo, you know what to do."

Ren Suo smiled wryly, wiping his lips and giving Gu Yueyan a goodnight kiss as he hugged her slender waist.

Gu Yueyan huffed and walked away proudly.

Dong Chengling, finding the whole scene rather amusing, nodded at Ren Suo and said, "Suo, have a good rest."

Ren Suo looked gratefully at Dong Chengling, thinking that she was the only one who truly understood moderation and consideration.

Then Dong Chengling pushed him into his compartment and, taking the opportunity, closed the door, cutting off the view of the now-befuddled flight attendant outside.

Just as the flight attendant was about to remind the passenger that it wasn't appropriate to engage in strenuous activities on the plane, Dong Chengling opened the door and came out, her clothes neat, her demeanor naturally graceful.

Little Jiu, still wearing her adorable cat ear accessories, ran over and said crisply, "Big Brother—"

Dong Chengling took Little Jiu's hand. "Alright, say goodnight to Big Brother and then go back."

"I don't want to, Little Jiu also wants to—"

"Not allowed."

Once they finally went back to their own compartments to rest, Ren Suo lifted his head to look at the flight attendant and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No, no, no," the flight attendant shook her head repeatedly, hurriedly helped him close the door, and left. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Initially, she was quite interested in this young (in his twenties), wealthy (sitting in first class), and handsome (perhaps?) man. But not only did he have a girlfriend, he also had four other beautiful girlfriends with whom he seemed to get along very well.

This man was Godzilla, an Alien, an indescribable monster.

Even if she felt she was worldly and charming, the flight attendant still couldn't discern the true face of this man with the gentle smile.

An existence totally beyond my control. Time to get out of here.

Ren Suo felt a bit odd but didn't think too much of it and seized the opportunity to rest for a little over an hour. When the cabin lights dimmed, he picked up his phone and opened "Cataclysm of Tomorrow."

A transfer was usually required from Osaka to New York; if they could stop over in Shenhai City, Ren Suo might even have a chance to unlock the Visit Pool of Shenhai City.

Unfortunately, Ren Suo was not the one who booked the tickets, as he had given all his money to his sister.

"Successfully recruited 9,998 Fourth-Stage Cultivators!"

Ren Suo was invigorated!

He wasn't disappointed. With the combined power-ups of "Blood Lotus Sect Master's Iron Law" and "Dimensional Empress's Laziness," he actually managed to find two Elite Cultivators under "Public Recruitment."

However, "Blood Lotus Sect Master's Iron Law" had deleted seven echo tags, leaving only the "Divine Skills" tag. This meant... the Elite Cultivators Ren Suo had found this time were unconventional and particularly potent combatants.

"Recruited an Eight-Turn Cultivator!"

"You're past your prime in this meta, but I will always be its reigning king!"

"Eight-Turn Cultivator, Boiling Blood Dancer·Hasuka, comes seeking battle!"

"Hasuka, Divine Cultivator, can be deployed in long-range or close-combat positions, Deployment Cost 18 points"

"Attack Power: Medium, Defense: Medium, Attack Range: 2 squares"

"Trait·Berserker Blood: Can be deployed in any position, simultaneously attacks all enemies within attack range, faster attack speed when more injured (strengthened after Seventh Stage)"

"Second Trait: (Activated after Eighth Revolution)"

"Unity Magic·Boiling Blood Burst: Ignite blood to deliver a fatal shockwave, causing the destructive force of a small planet's demise."

"Trustworthiness: 0%"

"Unity Level: Fourth Transformation 0%"

Ren Suo immediately remembered this person: one of the Fourth-Stage Cultivators of South America's 'Iron Sun,' known as 'Boiling Blood Dancer' Hasuka, as famous as 'Shadow' Dai Ze!

"An Eight-Turn Cultivator has been found!"

"This is the distance I'm best at; no one can break through my Sword Encampment. Within the Sword Encampment, one-way passage!"

"Eight-Turn Cultivator, Invincible Sword Encampment·Chen Liao, comes to guard."

"Chen Liao, Divine Cultivator, Close-Combat Position, Deployment Cost 6 points"

"Attack Power: High, Defense: Extremely Weak, Attack Range: 2 squares"

"Trait·Mountain and Rivers Sword Encampment: Can intercept 2 enemy units, simultaneously attacks all intercepted units (strengthened after Seventh Stage)"

"Second Trait: (Activated after Eighth Revolution)"

"Unity Magic·Dance of Death: Upon entering the battlefield, increases Attack Power by 200%; damage dealt forms a defensive shield for self. This effect expires after a certain time."

"Trustworthiness: 0%"

"Unity Level: Fourth Transformation 0%"

Surprise! Double Eight-Turn!

Ren Suo was nearly knocked out by this huge surprise.

Chen Liao was the Fourth-Stage Cultivator of the Great Wall who once fought against the Gatekeeper in "Door of Truth." Even back then, he demonstrated immense strength, wielding dual swords, substituting offense for defense, and steadfastly blocking the Gatekeeper controlled by "Rational Ren Suo."

Although all this was within "Rational Ren Suo's" plan, Chen Liao's strength still earned everyone's respect. Even You Jiu admitted that he could not break through Chen Liao's Sword Encampment.

Praise the Blood Lotus Sect Master and Dimensional Empress for directly finding two Eight-Turn Cultivators in "Public Recruitment"!

Ren Suo carefully examined the information on these two new comrades-in-arms and quickly analyzed their battlefield positioning.

Hasuka was undoubtedly meant to be coordinated with "Spiritual Energy Void" for battlefield deployment; his Unity Magic was intended to push enemy warships into the Spiritual Energy Void, neutralizing the enemy army without bloodshed.

Chen Liao's case was a bit more complicated. His deployment required very few Spell Casting Points, and his damage output and defense were extremely strong for a short time after deployment. However, after a while, he would become a Paper Person with high attack power but weak defense.

As his introductory phrase suggested, Chen Liao existed for protection.

In deteriorating situations, Chen Liao could be dispatched to stall for time and eliminate enemies, but he had to be withdrawn after "Dance of Death" ended.

Chen Liao was an excellent Tool Person.

Ren Suo thought for a while about the positioning of these two characters and then began to browse the game information from this period.

After the second episode of "Top-secret Archives" was uploaded, the Future Echo caused by modern times gradually started to reflect back to the year 1999.

Among them, the Unity Magic Cultivation of Dragon King Zhao Huo, Remnant Soldier Xiao Meng, and Sun Remnant Soldier Shu all soared to Seventh Stage 0%!

Even if it wasn't for Zhao Huo alone, Ren Suo's efforts were worth it just for this game progress!

In fact, Ren Suo had only spent a total of five minutes of "Summonable Time," summoning Virtual Sovereign Ilina twice to help whitewash Zhao Huo's actions, guide public opinion with shills, distort facts, and pose as members of the Fairy Palace World Tree to comment in Zhao Huo's favor.

Other people's Cultivation also rose slightly, just not as dramatically as those three Remnant Soldiers.

Just then, a golden message suddenly popped up in the game:

"Due to the 'Future Echo,' one Cultivator's Unity Magic Cultivation limit has been raised."

Ren Suo saw that, similar to Ren Qingqing, a pearl hidden in the vast sea, this time there was also a Cultivator whose Unity limit was raised, promoted from a minor role to an Elite Cultivator.

Moreover, this minor role's Unity cap was not raised to the Seventh Stage but... went straight to the Eighth Revolution!

This person, Ren Suo knew.

"Eight-Turn Cultivator·Remnant Soldier's Fire·Fan Fan"

"Fan Fan, Calamity Cultivator, Long-Range Position, Deployment Cost 30 points"

"Attack: Strong, Defense: Weak, Attack Range: 4 squares"

"Trait·Prairie Fire: The undying flames cause area explosion damage, harming multiple enemy units (strengthened after Seventh Stage)"

"Second Trait: (Activated after Eighth Revolution)"

"Unity Magic·Blazing Phoenix: Attack interval increases, and the attack turns into summoning a giant phoenix that drops on enemy units, causing 195% cosmic flame damage over a large area and stacking undying fire on all hit targets, causing continuous damage."

"Trustworthiness: 0%"

"Unity Magic Cultivation: Fifth Tier 0%"

Now, Ren Suo could be said to have a Calamity Cultivator too, and an Eighth Revolution one at that.

With an initial Cultivation at Fifth Tier 0%, she must have joined the Cultivators Legion in the first chapter, feasting on echoes and experience all the way, unwittingly advancing from the fourth transformation to the Fifth Tier.

But Ren Suo always felt something was off.

Fan Fan was Zhao Huo's Miss Fan; Ren Suo knew that.

But why had the Mini-World Game Console previously considered Miss Fan to be just an ordinary Fourth-Stage Cultivator, and now suddenly decided she would become an Eight-Turn Cultivator in the future?

Was it a mistake? Or had the future changed?

If it wasn't for Ren Suo and Zhao Huo joining forces to extinguish this crisis, would Miss Fan not have cultivated in peace, remaining at the fourth transformation even after 30 years?

Or perhaps, in the future where Ren Suo didn't intervene, Miss Fan simply never got together with Zhao Huo at all and wasn't a part of the Remnant Soldiers?

Moreover, Miss Fan was an Eight-turn Future Cultivator, while Sun Shu and Xiao Meng were only Seventh Stage.

It seemed Miss Fan might occupy the primary wife position in the future, having Zhao Huo completely under her thumb.

This wasn't just Ren Suo talking nonsense; this was his life experience speaking.

Even he could see that among Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, Ren Xingmei, Gu Yueyan, and Luna—besides Luna, who was uncompetitive and focused solely on having children—it was basically Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi who called the shots the rest of the time.

Because those two were the strongest.

Honestly, if it weren't for Dong Chengling, Ren Suo truly believed Gu Yueyan and Ren Xingmei would be completely dominated by Qiao Muyi.

He had no doubt that Qiao Muyi could, without him noticing, cause the other girls to be plagued with problems and even drive them away from him.

But it was precisely because of Dong Chengling's presence that Qiao Muyi restrained her Claws and Teeth.

And because Qiao Muyi was there, Dong Chengling had not become a dictator.

Dong Chengling was a shield separating the internal from the external; Qiao Muyi was a double-edged sword aimed at both sides.

If Dong Chengling weren't there, Qiao Muyi would slay everything around Ren Suo, as well as everything standing against him.

If Qiao Muyi weren't there, Dong Chengling, who could always keep tabs on Ren Suo, might join forces with Gu Yueyan to absolutely control Ren Suo or demand most of his time.

Cheng Ling's tranquility and thoughtfulness, and Young Master Mu's cuteness and mischief, were naturally all genuine.

However, when they discovered they could easily obtain more through their strength, would they stop?

Ren Suo certainly didn't underestimate love.

So he was genuinely curious about what Zhao Huo's future family structure would be like and why the Mini-World Game Console had significantly adjusted Miss Fan's Cultivation level limit.

...

...

"Xiao Fan, why have you come back?"

When Zhao Huo returned home and turned on the light, he found his fiancée sitting on the living room sofa smoking. He asked curiously, "Why didn't you turn on the lights?"

There were no ashtrays in Zhao Huo's home, so Miss Fan put out her cigarette in a disposable paper cup. She silently looked out the window without speaking, dressed in a black suit, her long hair draped over her shoulders like an ink waterfall, her eyes reflecting an indistinct anguish.

Zhao Huo tilted his head, went over to wrap his arms around his fiancée's slim waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and rocked her as he asked, "Are you mad? Did your parents scold you again? Let them call me; I promise to let them scold me to their heart's content."

"You've become quite good at flirting, quite good at pleasing women now, haven't you?" Miss Fan glanced at him, her voice devoid of sadness or joy.

Zhao Huo blinked. "What's wrong? Dropping company matters to find me, are you sure that's okay?"

"I specifically waited for them to leave before I came to find you." Miss Fan took a cigarette from the pack. Her lighter failed to ignite after several tries, so she eventually spoke while holding the unlit cigarette, "Did you think I hadn't noticed?"

"What?"

"You and Xiao Meng!" Miss Fan gritted her teeth. "I should have thought of this earlier, should have anticipated it. A man and a woman alone in a room for several days... Haven't you noticed that you've become closer to Xiao Meng these past two days?"

"Huh? Really?" Zhao Huo scratched his head. "Sorry, maybe it's because I 'did homework' with Xiao Meng the other day, so we might have more to talk about..."

"'Did homework?' What 'homework'?"

"Oh, that's a joke Ren Suo told me..." Zhao Huo explained.

Miss Fan instantly snapped the cigarette in her hand. "And then you 'did homework' with Xiao Meng? Heh, of course. That hussy Xiao Meng clinging to you all night..."

"Yeah, but it was already the wee hours, and there were no convenience stores near the academy, so I had no choice but to brace myself and go through with it."

"Fine, fine. You'll go through with it even without any protection, huh? Impressive, Zhao Huo, very impressive." Miss Fan laughed in fury and broke free from Zhao Huo's embrace. "I'm going back."

"Going back so soon?" Zhao Huo was puzzled. "Are you mad?"

"No!"

"If you're mad that I 'did homework' with Xiao Meng, I can 'do homework' with you too. I went to the supermarket specially and bought a lot!"

Miss Fan paused, shot Zhao Huo a suspicious glance, and shook her head. "What do you take me for? Zhao Huo, don't make me look down on you."

"Is it that serious? You don't have to say that about me. It was just a late-night snack..."

"It is that seriou—Late-night snack?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Huo opened the cupboard, took out bags of chips, jellies, marinated chicken wings, and matcha cookies. "Luckily Ren Suo reminded me. Only then did I realize Xiao Meng couldn't sleep because she was hungry and restless."

"But it was too late that night. I could only use the ingredients at home to make noodles for Xiao Meng and watched the new anime with her. Finally, she was able to sleep soundly until morning."

Miss Fan blinked, returned to sit on the sofa, and stared at Zhao Huo for a good while before suddenly saying, "I've already handled the company's matters. Starting now, I've enrolled in Heavenly Lotus Academy to begin my Cultivation studies."

"That's just like you." Zhao Huo gave a thumbs up in praise. "This is good too. Start cultivating early, get fit early."

"But my luggage won't arrive until tomorrow. Tonight, I'll just wear your clothes."

"You're not leaving anymore?"

"Not leaving anymore." Miss Fan smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "It's so hot in Lianjiang. I'm sweating just from sitting for a bit. I'm going to take a shower first."

"Sure, all my clothes are in the bedroom. Pick whatever you want."

"Oh, right." Miss Fan walked to the bedroom door, then suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Huo, "Actually, 'doing homework' doesn't mean what you think it means."

"Then what does it mean?" Zhao Huo asked, tilting his head.

Miss Fan pondered for a moment, her cheeks flushing crimson, and said with a laugh, "I'll tell you tonight."

"I'm not free tonight," Zhao Huo shook his head. "I promised Ren Suo that I would become a Nine-Turn Cultivator as soon as possible, just as foreseen by the Fairy Palace. Tonight, I need to cultivate all night to perfect my 'Dragon King's Secret Record.'"

"That sort of thing can't be rushed."

"It's very urgent. Because if I'm not at the fourth transformation before Ren Suo comes back, he's going to beat me up."

"He dares?!"

"He does. He and his two girlfriends are Fourth-Stage Cultivators. He has two friends who are also Fourth-Stage, and one of them is my immediate superior, a Deputy Director of the Tactical Bureau. Ren Suo is practically an unhindered force of evil in Lianjiang."

Miss Fan bit her lower lip, saying resentfully, "Isn't he your friend? How could he do this?!"

"Sigh, so-called friends..." Zhao Huo sighed and said, "You should go to bed early after your shower. Don't wait up for me."

Miss Fan's expression wavered, then she suddenly said, "Brother Huo, I want to cultivate."

Zhao Huo was slightly taken aback. "Well... you should wait until you start your lessons."

"You're a teacher. Don't you have any preparatory materials for me?" Miss Fan said with determination. "I want to become stronger too!"

Zhao Huo thought for a moment, then said, "On my computer desktop, there's a folder named 'Teaching Materials.' Make sure it's 'Teaching Materials,' not 'Study Materials'... That folder has the teaching plans for the first-year Cultivation courses at the academy. You can take a look at that first."

"Alright." Miss Fan didn't mention showering again and immediately opened the computer to start studying.

Zhao Huo scratched his head, took off his shirt, activated the Spiritual Energy Aggregation Device, and began to circulate his own 'Dragon King's Secret Record.'

So-called friends... they're just there to take the blame.

How could I not understand? I understand it best in the whole school; I'm not an idiot like Ren Suo.

It's just... I'm not some animal controlled by instinct. Besides, if one is satisfied, the other two will get angry as well...

Zhao Huo closed his eyes, a smile on his face. We'll 'do homework' on our wedding night; I'll need to prepare it in triplicate... For now, I really need to cultivate properly.
