Ling Ping'an carried Bastet and walked into the buffet restaurant. He chose a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. Then, he took some cold dishes like kelp and sat in the corner, slowly eating breakfast.
There were no diners this morning.
This was very normal. The fellowship party would end tomorrow.
Everyone had to go back to their homes.
At this time, those who had found a partner would go on a date.
Under the moonlight, the two of them were lovey-dovey and affectionate. There was no need to mention how happy they were.
Those who didn't have a partner were making the best use of their time and fooling around in the imperial capital.
These noble young masters from all over the world had caused the price of the brothels in the imperial capital to rise.
It had caused a lot of rumors.
Therefore, those who were willing to stay in the Luming Villa obediently were basically not otakus like Ling Ping'an who had no intention of dating or women.
They were people with other intentions.
This made Ling Ping'an happy and quiet. He sat alone in the corner and slowly ate his breakfast.
Halfway through his meal, two young men sat at the table beside him with a plate in their hands.
They looked at Ling Ping'an and smiled kindly.
Ling Ping'an also smiled.
Then, they continued with their own matters.
Ling Ping'an buried his head in his porridge while they began to chat.
"Have you heard?"
"Hmm?"
"Last night, the massacre of the Shi family... I heard that it was an evil ghost... The entire Shi family was chopped into pieces by the evil ghost!"
"That scene was tragic!"
Ling Ping'an curled his lips as he listened.
Evil ghost?
Naturally, he didn't believe it.
However, the two of them only chatted for a while before changing the topic.
Soon, they talked about the Legend of Nightmare, which was the most popular topic now.
"Do you know why Wang Xiao'er has been missing since yesterday?"
"Hmm?"
"That guy got the number and was immediately taken back by his family and protected like a treasure!"
"So exaggerated?"
"Of course!"
"As the old saying goes, those who learn literature and martial arts will be sold to the imperial family!"
"And that Legend of Nightmare is the place to obtain the literature and martial arts that are sold to the imperial family!"
"Because the current literature and martial arts are superpowers!"
"Do you know about the Dragon Group?"
"It's a special organization made up of people with superpowers!"
"I heard that the power of the Dragon Group is so great that it's scary!"
"They can investigate the country's politics, and they can command the local military and police!"
"The Dragon Team took over the Shi family massacre last night!"
Ling Ping'an couldn't help but shake his head as he listened.
It just so happened that he was almost done eating, so he picked up his cat, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. He planned to go out for a walk and digest the food.
Walking out of the hall, he carried his cat and walked to a garden in the distance.
Speaking of which, he had lived in the Luming Villa for so long, but he hadn't seen much of this royal palace!
Now that he was about to leave, it was time for him to have a good tour.
Therefore, he took out his phone and planned to find a place with good scenery to take a few photos.
It could also be considered as a souvenir.
In the end, he had just walked through the gate of the garden.
Someone stuffed a promotional poster into his hand.
"Gongzi, if you get the gaming cabin …"
"You can call the number on the poster at any time …"
The man in formal attire stuffed the poster into his hand and said to him, "My girl will never let you down!"
He took the poster and glanced at it.
There were photos of several young girls printed on it, and there was a brief introduction next to them.
Shangguan Qing, 23 years old, third-year student in the Department of Literature of the Imperial Capital University...
Shangguan Rou, 25 years old, graduated from the Department of Advanced Mathematics of the University of Beizhou. She was currently a director of the Great Xia Jing'an Share Management Co., Ltd.
Beside the photos of these young girls, there was a line of huge bold words: Since ancient times, graceful ladies have been sought after by gentlemen. Now that I have a daughter in my family, I am willing to welcome the son-in-law of the Dragon Riding Dragon with the gift of the eastern bed.
If there is a gentleman with the beauty of the legendary nightmare, please call the number...
Choose one of the girls!
Ling Ping'an blinked his eyes.
He finally felt the wave of the legendary nightmare.
Even though he had never heard of Shangguan Qing or Shangguan Rou.
He didn't know if these people were beautiful or ugly.
But just by looking at their resumes, he knew that these were the so-called ladies.
They were modern women who had received higher education.
Therefore, he asked curiously, "Are these Shangguan ladies really willing to marry down?"
That person nodded, "Of course!"
"As long as you have a gaming cabin, the ladies of my family are willing to date you!"
Ling Ping'an swallowed his saliva and asked carefully, "Are the ladies of your family not picky?"
The other party was puzzled, "Why do you want to pick?"
"There are no commoners in the sorority. They are all descendants of the country's meritorious officials and are from scholarly families!"
"To my family, they are a match for each other no matter what!"
Ling Ping'an was dumbfounded when he heard this, "As long as they are a match for each other?"
The other party said seriously, "Of course!"
"What else?"
"Do you want to talk about free love?"
"Come on!"
"The young lady of the Han family, back then, in pursuit of love, she insisted on marrying one of her own managers..."
"What was the result?"
"She was subjected to domestic violence after marriage and even cheated on!"
"Wasn't it a divorce in the end?"
"Then she might as well marry someone who is a match for each other and has a common language... This way, at least no matter how much trouble she makes, she will have to take into account the dignity of both families!"
Ling Ping'an couldn't find anything to refute the other party's twisted logic.
He heard the other party say proudly, "Young master, I'll tell you directly!"
"If you get the gaming cabin, don't waste time and come with me now! I'll bring you to see the ladies of my family... "
"You can choose whichever one you like!"
"Don't worry, my family's upbringing is strict. All the ladies are ladies who abide by traditional values!"
"They can go out of the hall and into the kitchen!"
Ling Ping'an listened and asked carefully, "What if I'm a beta tester?"
"Beta tester?!" The other party screamed.
Immediately, several people turned to look at him with hostility.
Everyone knew what the so-called beta tester of Legend of Nightmare meant?
Transcendent being!
And he was a transcendent being!
He was at least at the colonel level!
This was a real rich son-in-law, the same existence as the ancient scholars!
He heard the other party answer carefully, "If you're a beta tester..."
"I'll give you all my family's assets with both hands!"
"All the girls in my family are willing to date you!"
Ling Ping'an was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He asked weakly, "Isn't it monogamy now?"
"Monogamy? Hehe... "The other party seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world," Young master, if you're really a beta tester... "
"Show me your skills now!"
"I'm not talented. Although my words don't carry much weight, as long as you show me your skills..."
"I promise you that my words will definitely count!"
Now, it was the post-spiritual aura recovery era!
Transcendent being could move mountains and drain seas. They were omnipotent.
Although there was the Blackguard, they guarded the world.
However, who knew how long the order maintained by the Blackguard could continue to be maintained?
Ten years?
Twenty years?
A hundred years?
It couldn't be forever!
This was because history had already proven this point.
When the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, it suddenly collapsed.
The previous dynasty was in chaos and was about to collapse.
The fake dynasty had just swept the world when a great ancestor of the Xia Dynasty appeared.
The colonists of the Land of Qin were eating beef and singing in the Beizhou Dynasty. They were very happy.
Looking back, the expeditionary fleet of Great Xia had already crossed the ocean in a majestic manner.
The Faran Emperor of the Land of Qin had won a complete victory in the Battle of the Three Emperors. He already had the momentum to take over the Land of Qin and unify the countries.
However, the cold wind of Lossia had blown away all the Emperor's dreams.
Now, the Blackguard had been strong for two hundred years.
As the saying went, the sun was at its zenith, and the moon was at its zenith.
When anything reached its zenith, it would inevitably go downhill.
This was the objective law of things.
The Blackguard couldn't avoid it either!
Especially now, the appearance of the Legend of Nightmare made this trend even more obvious.
Otherwise, why would the commander-in-chief run all over the world at this time and force the local powerful factions to express their stance?
This was the reason why the Blackguard also realized that they couldn't suppress the world forever.
Therefore, once, the Blackguard couldn't appear as strong as it was now.
Once he started to retreat and compromise.
That would be the time for the world to change.
Even an internet upstart like the Shangguan family understood this logic.
Therefore, all the wealthy businessmen and capital in the imperial capital had already heard the news and started to make arrangements for the future.
One was to recruit those lucky people who had won the game capsule with a large sum of money.
Another was to spread money to win over the hearts of the people.
In this Luming Villa, flyers were distributed with great fanfare. The third reason was to want to marry someone with extraordinary potential from those aristocratic families with deep foundations.
Ling Ping'an listened and was puzzled, "What do you mean by showing off your skills?"
When the other party heard this, he immediately laughed.
The eyes that were staring at him like tigers also retracted their gazes.
He didn't even understand this meaning?
Obviously, this young man wasn't a transcendent being.
Ling Ping'an scratched his head, feeling that he didn't quite understand the thoughts of these people in the imperial capital.
Asking me to show off my skills? But they didn't tell me how to show off?
However...
He didn't mean that either.
Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment before walking towards the depths of the garden.
He had to find a few good angles and take a few photos.
Of course, at the same time, he also had doubts in his heart.
"Does virtual reality technology really have such an exaggerated ability to shape society?"
The words of that person just now didn't seem to be fake.
The other party was really prepared. If he could prove that he was a beta tester, he would learn the story of the ancient rich merchants catching scholars.
In fact, from the other party's words, Ling Ping'an could even hear the possibility of offering land and scholars in ancient times.
Although the form might be different, the core was the same.
As the saying went, the duck knew the spring water was warm.
These guys, who had always been secretive, must have known some inside information and grasped something that was still unknown.
"Legend of Nightmare..."
"Hidden secrets!"
"This secret might be able to change the entire world!"
"Just like the first industrial revolution completely shaped modern times, the second industrial revolution shaped the modern international order, and the third industrial revolution completely changed human society!"
And virtual reality, in the eyes of these people, was the fourth industrial revolution.
Even more exaggerated, it was a change that had not happened in a thousand years!
But...
It was just a game...
Was it necessary?
Even if the Legend of Nightmare contained such potential, it should be controlled by the officials.
When had a consumer who bought a 5G phone been able to dominate the electronic consumer market?
Unless...
"The players of the Legend of Nightmare can possess things that people in reality can't possess from this game..."
"Just like the protagonists in ancient online games who occupied some territories that were similar to reality!"
"Even..."
Ling Ping'an remembered the description in a novel he had read.
The protagonist could bring out equipment and even skills from the game!
But...
Ling Ping'an shook his head when he thought of this. "How is that possible?!"
It was just a game. Everything was virtual.
"If that's the case..." he thought of his experience in the game.
"Wouldn't I be able to move mountains and seas long ago?!"
With this thought in mind, he gently raised his hand and made a gesture of slashing forward.
Then, he looked at a gazebo in front of him.
Nothing happened.
He laughed, hugged his cat, and walked forward.
… …
After handing out the flyers, Shang Guanrong picked up his phone and walked to a nearby gazebo. He wanted to have a good rest.
He also recalled the various people he had seen today.
Walking into the gazebo, he sat down and gently leaned against the railing behind him.
Crack!
His back just leaned against it.
The sound of wood shattering came from behind him.
He turned around and saw the wooden railing behind him. It began to disintegrate bit by bit in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Shang Guanrong was extremely shocked.
But this was only the beginning.
The bench beneath his buttocks also began to make cracking sounds.
The wood was shattering one by one.
Crack!
The entire gazebo suddenly collapsed.
Countless pieces of wood and stones fell one after another.
Shang Guanrong screamed, "Ah!"
He raised his head in horror, only to see the gazebo above him shattering inch by inch.
The wood fell apart, and the stones shattered one by one.
Then, they turned into powder and debris.
Boom!
All the structure of the gazebo had collapsed.
Whether it was the stones or the wood, they were all shattered by some unimaginably powerful force.
He watched with his own eyes as the falling wood turned into sawdust.
The falling stones shattered and disintegrated in the air, turning into gravel-like debris.
Hualala!
The sawdust and gravel were like rain, drenching his head.
And his entire body also collapsed along with the gazebo.
"What happened?" Many people turned their heads.
Then, they saw that in the corner of the garden, a gazebo that had always been there had turned into nothingness.
A large pit that had collapsed appeared on the spot.
Inside the pit, it was filled with debris and lime.
A figure stood up from inside.
His face was covered in lime and debris, and he looked extremely disheveled.
"Help!" The person screamed.
A few emergency personnel in uniforms had already carried a stretcher and quickly rushed over from an emergency location.
