Chapter 509 - A Gaming Genius

Chapter 509: A Gaming Genius

As Ling Ping’an opened his eyes, he yawned and picked up his phone to take a look.

There were several news pop-ups on the screen.

“The situation in India has worsened, the Federal Empire’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls for peace.”

That was indeed shocking!

That night, the entire Indian continent had already been embroiled in war or was about to be embroiled in war.

What happened to the old enemies of South India and North India?

In any case, every time Ling Ping’an saw the news about India, he basically couldn’t leave the fight between these two enemies.

However, the Mughuri Empire and the Republic of Delhi, two countries that hadn’t started a war for a hundred years, were suddenly at daggers drawn.

The two states were in a tensed relation.

What did they try to do?

Ling Ping’an’s head was full of questions.

Not only was Ling Ping’an full of questions, most of the netizens were also like him.

They did not understand at all. This Indian was fine, what kind of medicine did he take?

This was war instead of a child’s Play!

However, the various countries in India were like crazy.

News from various channels all indicated that the crisis in the Indian continent seemed to have been planned for a long time.

The Chief of General Staff of the Mughuri Empire accepted the news and said that one Mughuri soldier could defeat ten Delhi soldiers! The Mughuri Empire would be unified and all the rebels would be eliminated!

The commander-in-chief of the Army of the Republic of Delhi claimed that the Republic of Delhi would fight for the well-being of the people of Delhi, and the brave soldiers of Delhi would strike the invaders head-on on the banks of the sacred Ganges river!

As for the Republic of South India and the Kingdom of North India, they cursed each other and vowed to destroy the evil enemies for the sake of the gods.

Ling Ping’an could only sigh as he observed the situation. “It’s crazy!”

He remembered that more than a month ago, the war in India was finally pacified by the peacemakers.

At that time, he had been happy, but he did not expect that peace was so fragile.

In the blink of an eye, the Indian continent was mired in a great war.

And…

“A war?”

“An ancient history from 200 years ago…”

“What’s going on?”

Now was the era of high-tech information warfare.

Sitting at home, blowing on the air conditioner and pressing a button, it could blow the enemy’s facilities into a sea of fire!

However, Ling Ping’an soon realized that he was thinking too much.

That was because he saw a battle video sent back from the Indian battlefield.

A torrent of steel was pushing forward on the muddy road.

The truck dragged the cannon forward with difficulty.

And…

The cavalry on horseback…

Yes, the cavalry…

An antique army that had disappeared for at least a hundred years appeared on the battlefield.

“Holy sh*t!” Ling Ping’an yelled.

He finally understood why the Indians loved war so much.

It turned out that their concept was still stuck in the era of 100 years ago, when cannons were fired.

Fortunately, other than the chaotic war in India, there were still good things.

“The mysterious virtual reality online game is about to be released for beta testing…” he stared at the headline of the news.

“Is this the Legend of Nightmare?”

“Is the game company behind this going to show up?”

He clicked on the news and saw nothing. There was only a blank page on the web page.

“Haha!” Ling Ping’an laughed.

He had seen this kind of promotional method many times.

It was a blank page!

Moreover, thinking about it carefully, Ling Ping’an felt that this was the best promotional method.

…

Li Shouyi looked at the woman before him who was holding a folding fan, completely covering his face.

“Sir… We have already followed your instructions…” He said fearfully to the woman.

“That’s very good!” The other party’s voice was incomparably ear-piercing, causing one’s hair to stand on end. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.

However, listening to this voice, any rational person would understand that this was not a human.

She was just a monster in human skin.

“No need to be nervous… If I wanted to do something to you guys…”

“I would have done it long ago!”

This was the truth.

Li Shouyi knew that the monster in front of him had the strength to easily destroy everything.

The slim figure behind the fan was just an illusion.

His intuition told him that this illusion was set up to protect him.

She only needed to put down the folding fan to kill him!

“Sir…” Li Shouyi asked carefully, “Is that all you want?”

The woman’s body behind the fan started to shake like a flower.

She seemed to be very happy, as if she was looking at a clown in a circus.

“Human…”

“You insects are really cute!”

Thus, her figure disappeared into nothingness like ripples.

Only when she disappeared did the others finally come back to their senses.

They all asked Li Shouyi, “Commander-in-chief, what happened just now?”

Li Shouyi looked at the place where the monster disappeared and said softly, “The person behind Nightmare Came!”

“I made a deal with him!”

“Deal?” Song Shihui asked, “What do you mean?”

“Nightmare… authorized us… to form a company… to sell the so-called legend of Nightmare Virtual Landing pod…”

“Huh?!” Song Shihui was cinfused.

“In other words…” Li Shouyi said, “We’ll become his agents!”

“All the publicly available legend of nightmare virtual login pods will pass through our hands!”

“This is a good thing!” Song Shihui became excited.

Previously, the federal empire was most worried about the local extraordinary humans and foreign species using the realm of nightmare that was about to surface to fight against the central federal government.

If that was the case, the Federal Empire might have to launch a civil war.

Now, the Blackguard could control the way to enter the realm of nightmare.

Naturally, they could use this power to control the realm of nightmare.

While Li Shouyi looked at Song Shihui, he shook his head. “This is just a pretense!”

“It’s just a pretense?!”

“Since when did the people chosen by the realm of nightmare need something like a landing pod? !”

“Then?” Song Shihui didn’t understand. Didn’t the realm of nightmare take off their pants and fart?

Li Shouyi raised his head.

He remembered what the woman had said when she appeared.

The woman who appeared out of thin air with a fan froze time and space as soon as she appeared, isolating the others.

“I am a servant of the supreme-being!”

It was exactly the same as the invitation letter.

“Oh…”

“Being able to serve the supreme-being is an honor for you for the rest of your life!”

As he recalled this, he quickly understood the matter.

“I suspect… that the so-called realm of nightmare… has long fallen into the hands of that young master…”

“And that young master likes to do such things!”

Thinking about it carefully, everything could be connected.

The drastic change in the realm of nightmare happened to be around the same time that that young master appeared.

However, these were not the most important things.

The most important thing was that Li Shouyi felt that he had already seen part of the truth.

Back then, the ancestors of the Ling family had entered the capital to make a memorial before the destruction of the Ling family.

There was a story according to their memorial.

It was the story in Zhuang zi’s “Emperor Ying”.

The Emperor of the South Sea and the emperor of the Beihai had opened the seven apertures of the central chaos.

One day, the seven apertures were opened, and chaos died.

In the past, he had always thought that this story was a metaphor for the origin of that person.

But now, it seemed that it wasn’t the case.

Perhaps, this story was describing the current state of that person whose seven orifices had been gouged open!

It was just that…

Chaos, whose seven orifices had been gouged open, did not die.

That was not right either!

Li Shouyi suddenly remembered that life and death, yin and yang, were interdependent.

Therefore, after chaos died, something new would be born…

Was that the person who was reborn?

When Li Shouyi thought of this, he did not dare to think about it anymore.

…

At the Ceylon Embassy, Zheng Manjing was sitting in the secret communication room in the deepest part of the embassy, connecting to the country.

“Our country’s three armies have entered the highest state of combat readiness!” A soldier in a Marshal’s uniform reported on the screen, “Your Highness… Right Now, we urgently need you to conduct diplomatic activities in the imperial capital. We need to strive for more military assistance and transcendent being’s protection!”

He was deeply worried. “Something isn’t right about India!”

If it was just a few small countries fighting each other, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It was just a farce.

But now, the entire Indian continent had fallen into war.

Especially between the Republic of Delhi and the Mughuri Empire, which were at daggers drawn.

These two were large states with a population of 200 to 300 million!

If they were to really fight and bleed, it would definitely cause a serious disaster.

What was even more dangerous were all sorts of transcendent being.

War was always preferred transcendent being and foreign species because it would lead to the death of thousands of people.

Blood and corpses would cover the earth.

Thus, it would provide them with endless resources, especially the foreign species…

Their growth speed during the war was beyond imagination.

Back then, the crisis in Ceylon was caused by the war in India.

In the chaotic war that lasted for more than ten years, under the pouring of blood.

Dozens of generals were born in India.

They looked at Ceylon and caused the crisis in Ceylon.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were ready to go. Dozens of generals sharpened their blades and crossed the straits, wanting to conquer Ceylon.

At that crucial moment, the central federal government launched a peacekeeping operation codenamed “White Tiger Operation”>

Within three days, hundreds of warships and thousands of bombers were gathered.

The experts of the Blackguard even broke into India to carry out the decapitation operation.

They killed more than ten Indian generals in one battle and forced the rest into the ground, not daring to appear.

At the same time, they advanced by land, sea, and air, surrounding the invaders who landed in Ceylon.

The crisis in Ceylon was finally resolved.

However, Ceylon also paid a heavy price for this.

Millions of innocent civilians were massacred, millions of people were displaced, and almost all of the infrastructure was destroyed to varying degrees.

Now, India was once again in chaos.

The nerves of the Ceylon people were immediately provoked.

The Ceylon Air Force immediately formulated several plans for the decapitation operation.

It was just that they were afraid that they did not have enough transcendent being strength to provide cover, so they did not take action.

Zheng Manjing also nodded. “Something is indeed wrong!”

“I heard some things from the Blackguard…”

“It’s stated that the crisis was caused by a mysterious place called the realm of Nightmare!”

“Realm of Nightmare?” Ceylon’s marshal frowned.

He had never heard of it.

This was the tragedy of a small country.

A small country with few people had already done their best to protect their own safety.

How could they have the energy to nurture their own transcendent being?

They could only hire retired generals from all over the world as guest elders.

Although these guest elders were reliable, they consumed most of Ceylon’s transcendent being resources.

Furthermore, their existence further compressed the cultivation of their own transcendent being.

Helpless, they could only send the transcendent being they discovered to the eastern lands.

On one hand, they hoped that they would return to the country after the exploration. On the other hand, they would exchange for assistance from the eastern lands.

This was something that couldn’t be helped.

To a small country, survival was the most important thing.

Everything else had to give way to survival!

Right now, the storm stirred up in India made Ceylon scared.

Fortunately, Zheng Manjing was Ceylon’s Buddhist daughter, and she was also a transcendent being.

Therefore, she had heard of the realm of nightmare.

“I heard that there was a drastic change in the realm of nightmare…” Zheng Manjing said, “It’s said that… the realm of nightmare allows each country to have an entity in it…”

“It even allows all factions to establish their own entities within it…”

“This means that the frequency of the appearance of transcendent being and the speed of their increase in strength will increase greatly!”

In the past, the appearance of transcendent being and foreign species was completely random.

Their strength was also limited by their talent, resources, and individual comprehension abilities.

However, the realm of nightmare was different.

An ordinary person could become a powerful transcendent being after a few nightmare worlds.

And the transcendent being was like a fish in water.

Legend had it that the realm of nightmare consisted of many immortal bloodlines.

When the marshal heard this, he panicked. “How can there be such a thing? !”

Zheng Manjing laughed bitterly. “The world is so big, there are all sorts of strange things!”

“Even gods can exist, let alone something like this?!”

“Then what should we do?” inquired the marshal.

Ceylon’s national defense and security had always depended on the protection of the eastern lands.

This was very secure in the past.

However..

The intervention of this strange realm of nightmare could cause the situation to run wildly in an uncontrollable direction.

Especially in the situation where there were over a billion people on the Indian continent.

If so many people could enter the realm of nightmare.

What kind of monster would a billion people raise?

Zheng Manjing comforted the marshal confidently, “Sir Marshal, don’t Worry!”

“Our country has the protection of the Gods and Buddhas!”

“The three protection of the light will protect us!”

Ceylon was a country that was supported by the east after it was destroyed.

Back then, the Prince of Ceylon adopted the Great Xia ancestor as his adopted son.

When the Great Xia ancestor saw that the prince was smart, he let him inherit the surname of a hero.

Zheng He was the name of the Lord of the three protectors.

Hence, after Ceylon recovered, Zheng He became the ‘three protectors of the Light’.

The so-called three protectors protected the country, the people, and the country.

As the marshal listened, he asked, “Will the Buddha really appear and protect our country?”

Ceylon worshipped the Buddha throughout the country.

They even worshipped the relics of the Buddha bones, which shone on Ceylon day and night, giving birth to a magical item like the Buddha Lotus.

However, there were no traces of the Buddha at all.

Not to mention the protection that Ceylon worshipped and created.

However, Zheng Manjing was full of confidence. “The Buddha will!”

The Buddha had already descended into the world.

Buddha no heaven also agreed to her request.

As long as she became a general… she would receive the Buddha’s favor and give birth to Ceylon’s son of Buddha.

The true three guarantees light king Buddha!

At this moment, the marshal on the screen suddenly panicked.

He looked at Zheng Manjing’s back and his fingers kept trembling.

Zheng Manjing turned back and saw a burly monk holding the tin staff.

“Amitabha!” The monk looked at her and chanted the name of Buddha, “Venerable Ksitigarbha of Hell!”

“This penniless monk is under the decree of Buddha Amitabha and bestows a karmic law on this layman!”

As he spoke, the burly monk shot out a spiritual light.

Once this spiritual light landed in front of Zheng Manjing, it turned into a rectangular metal cabin.

Immediately, Zheng Manjing knelt down and pressed her palms together. She praised, “Master, what is this?”

The monk chanted a Buddhist proclamation, “Buddha has mercy!”

“This is the landing cabin of the legend of Nightmare!”

“Layman can use this to enter the realm of nightmare…”

“You can also invite fifty almsgivers to accompany you and receive the order from layman!”

Zheng Manjing thus thanked him, “Disciple thanks Buddha for his mercy!”

Then, she raised her head and asked the monk, “May I ask master’s Dharma name?”

“Amitabha! I am the abbot of Jinshan Temple under the command of Buddha Wutian!”

Then, with a wave of his kasaya, he disappeared.

Zheng Manjing looked at the place where he disappeared and then at the so-called ‘landing cabin’ that appeared in front of her. It was silver-white and engraved with many beautiful Buddhist lotuses.

Her eyes were burning. No one knew what she was thinking about?

After a while, she stood up and looked at the marshal who was shocked beyond words.

Princess Ceylon had never been as confident as she was now.

She stared at the marshal and uttered in an order tone, “With my order, select qualified monks from all the temples in the country and merge with me into the realm of Nightmare!”

“Yes!” The marshal knelt down and worshipped Zheng Manjing with the ritual of worshipping bodhisattvas as a Buddhist.

Who Was Buddha without heaven? He did not know that, but the monk just now was a real mighty figure.

Such a mighty figure was only a monk under Buddha without heaven.

Moreover, he was under the decree of Buddha and passed the decree to the princess.

Naturally, in the eyes of the marshal, Zheng Manjing was the real daughter of Buddha’s bless.

…

Ling Ping’an spent the entire morning scrolling through the news in his bedroom.

One moment, he was paying attention to the war in India, and the next moment, he was going to watch the netizens’discussion about the virtual reality game.

As usual, all sorts of uncles were running amok on the Internet.

He was aware of the saying that the so-called virtual reality game could actually allow people to possess superpowers.

This made him not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Superpowers…”

“This bro mowed grass in that game, but isn’t he an otaku in real life?!”

However, what he said had a nose and eyes, and countless netizens believed it without a doubt.

For a time, there were all kinds of rumors on the internet saying that if I had superpowers, I would definitely be able to walk on the beautiful path of marrying a rich and beautiful woman and becoming the chairman.

As for the ambitious people, they simply said loudly, “If I can get superpowers, I want to open a huge harem…”

“To have all the beauties in the world…”

“To enjoy all the glory and wealth!”

This was the answer given by an anonymous netizen on a certain website when he answered the question, “If virtual reality games could really give people superpowers, what would you do?”.

Ling Ping’an felt his balls ache as he watched.

“Can you have a noble pursuit? !”

“How can such a vulgar person be worthy of being a gentleman? !”

Hence, he could not help but think of it.

“If I have superpowers…”

“Then I will definitely think of ways to promote technological progress!”

“To realize the Datong Party and the Gonghe party, everyone is like a dragon!”

The great harmony that the Datong Party pursued was ‘United in the sea, one family in the four seas, without distinction, everyone is equal, and everyone has the same rights’.

Nevertheless, what the Gonghe party pursued was everyone being like a dragon.

Everyone was rational, smart, and intelligent.

Everyone could take good care of themselves and have the ability to take care of others, but they could freely choose whether or not to take care of others.

The two seemed to be the same, but in reality, they were polar opposites and contradicted each other.

So much so that some critics once joked that unless God and Buddha were alive, otherwise, the Datong Party and the Gonghe party would always be dreaming.

However…

Being able to dream was in itself a kind of happiness.

Therefore, as a gentleman, Ling Pingan naturally thought that if he had superpowers, he would have to benefit society!

Frankly speaking, he didn’t think much of it, for it made him have the thought that even if the world was the same and everyone was like a dragon, it would be nothing more than this.

“The termites learned to breed fungi. From then on, they would have nothing to worry about…”

“The world is united, and the ants are like people!”

“But so what?”

“A rainstorm is enough to destroy everything…”

“A devilish brat throwing a firecracker can destroy everything!”

Therefore, he was stunned, for it seemed to make sense.

“Humans are indeed low-level creatures!” He couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, his phone rang.

He looked at the screen…

400101?

Was it the Royal Family?

He was puzzled and picked up the phone.

“Hello!” A gentle voice came from the phone, “Respected young master…”

The person on the other side seemed to be trembling. He spoke respectfully, and his tone was as respectful as a servant.

“This is the virtual reality gaming organization under the Lucky Emperor of the Great Xia dynasty…”

“You are the genius with the most gaming talent and the most compatibility with the virtual reality technology that we have discovered ever since our test!”

Ling Ping’an’s eyebrows twitched as he heard this. “Is that so?” he thought.

After thinking about it, he felt that this was the case!

In the game, he had killed everyone and mowed the grass with unparalleled strength.

After that, the official gave him all sorts of special privileges.

He was puzzled at first. He was not a member of the government, so why did the government give him a coattail rider.

It turned out that he was a genius in the game, and he was the most suitable person for the virtual reality technology!

Well, at least his talent was recognized by others.

He asked with a smile, “Then why are you calling?”

“It’s like this!” The other party said respectfully, “We plan to hold a press conference for the game’s beta testing in three days…”

“At that time, we hope to invite you to our press conference!”

“You can use your game character to participate in our press conference…”

“Or you can choose to come personally…”

“Um… I have a question…”

Ling Ping’an listened and said with a smile, “Can I choose both?”

Following a brief pause, the man immediately said respectfully, “Of course you can!”
