Li An'an held her cell phone and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she dialed the number.
"Let's face Gale!"
Listening to the voice on the other side of the phone, she was a little nervous.
Not long after, the call was connected.
Her nephew's familiar voice sounded, "Aunty, what's the matter?"
Li An'an smiled and asked, "Ping An, didn't you tell me that you were a beta tester in Legend of Nightmare?"
"Is that game … fun?" She probed.
"It's pretty fun!" The man on the other side of the phone chuckled. "Aunty, didn't you also get a Legend of Nightmare game pod?"
"Mm!" Li An'an let out a soft hum. She turned around and looked at the silver-white cabin behind her.
There was a faint fluorescent light flowing on both sides of the cabin.
The metal surface was decorated with beautiful patterns.
The man's concerned voice came through the phone. "Aunty …" He paused for a moment as if he was thinking of an excuse. After a while, he said, "Have fun!"
"Call me if you need anything!"
"Well!" Li An'an felt a little sour.
She hung up the phone, walked to the front of the cabin, and stared at the futuristic and sci-fi gaming cabin.
He was thinking about many things.
"Little Pingan..." she muttered to herself, "You must have suffered a lot in that Nightmare World, right?!"
She had just entered the intranet.
Through the intranet, he found some confidential files that he had just been allowed to see.
Files related to the Legend of Nightmare.
These files, which were only accessible to the generals in the past, recorded a strange place called the Realm of Nightmare.
Many people were caught up in it, and not even their bones were left.
Many people who were once thought to be missing were actually buried in the so-called Nightmare World.
As for the Nightmare World, it was even more dangerous.
If they were not careful, they would not be able to return.
In short, in the files, the so-called Realm of Nightmare was described as an 'extremely dangerous and strange place', but it also had all kinds of miraculous encounters.
In the Nightmare World, there were so-called bloodlines, skills, and equipment.
As long as he survived and completed the Realm's missions, he would be able to obtain the so-called Point Certificates to purchase these items.
An ordinary person could easily become a Transcendent with the help of the Space.
"Safe and sound …"
"You've been hiding it from me …"
"I guess he doesn't want me to worry!" Li An'an thought.
"I wonder how much suffering he had to go through? How many grievances have you suffered? "She felt her eyes moisten.
She walked to the gaming pod and slowly sat down.
"I'm safe!" She became firm. "Don't worry!"
"Aunt will protect you!"
"The so-called Realm of Nightmare …"
"No matter how dangerous it is, I will protect you!"
"I will become stronger!"
Thus, she slowly lay down.
The metal cover of the square cabin closed automatically.
There was a voice in his ears.
"Activate the Nightmare Engine …"
"Connect to the Inner World …"
"Open the Passage of Nightmare …"
"Welcome!"
"Nightmare VIP: Miss Li An'an!"
His vision blurred, as if he had entered a new world, passing through a thin membrane.
Then, everything changed.
Above his head, there seemed to be a rumbling mist.
The fog was like a nebula, as if there were many things hidden in it, ready to move.
Then, Li An'an found herself standing on an empty and boundless square.
There was no one here.
There were only huge stone pillars.
These towering pillars were connected to a layer of fleshy tissue above their heads.
Li An'an lowered her head and looked at her hands.
It was a pair of fair hands.
Her skin was as delicate as a baby's.
In his ear, there was a mechanical electronic voice asking, "Miss Li An'an, you have entered the Nightmare Square..."
"The Nightmare Square is the departure hall and trading center of the Realm of Nightmare!"
"You can choose to sell/buy supplies here and exchange game information with other Nightmare Game participants!"
"Because of your VIP identity, we have already obscured your appearance, language, and other basic characteristics!"
"If you don't agree, no one can find out your true gender, age, and appearance..."
"You can now name your nightmare character a code name..."
A floating light screen appeared in front of her.
It was like a computer screen.
There was even a virtual keyboard.
Li An'an looked at it and smiled. "Code name?"
"Then let's call it..."
She said seriously, "Zi Jin!"
The keyboard typed automatically, and 'Zi Jin' appeared on the floating light screen.
She reached out and knocked on the confirm button.
She liked this code name.
Indigo Collar, long for my heart.
But for the sake of the king, I have pondered until now!
… …
Huang Qin closed the door.
He leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. Using this time, he briefly recalled his life.
He was born in a worker's family.
When he was young, his father worked in the industrial park and operated machine tools.
He worked alone and occasionally worked overtime, which allowed his family to live a good life.
But..
When he was in junior high school, the industrial park began to deteriorate.
One by one, the enterprises closed down and relocated.
Facing the increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the huge Jiangcheng City no longer had a place for heavy industry.
Therefore, his father lost his job.
Fortunately, the Datong Party and the Gonghe Party quickly mobilized.
One by one, the unemployed workers' functional skills training classes were held.
The central government allocated funds and gave policies and ways out.
Therefore, his father quickly found his new job.
With the help of the Employment Security Committee of the Datong Party, his father went to a taxi company and started driving a taxi.
However..
When he went to high school, the wave of mobile Internet surged.
Online car-hailing flourished.
The income of the taxi was getting lower and lower, and his father was getting older.
At this time, his mother was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer.
All his savings could only be used to treat the disease.
But in the end, his mother was not cured.
When he came out of school, the society was no longer the society of his father's generation.
Heavy industries and labor-intensive enterprises had either gone bankrupt or had moved to the other side of the ocean.
The local area was facing the transformation of intelligence, refinement, and unmanned.
A high school student without any professional skills.
He couldn't learn those dazzling skills either.
He wasn't even qualified to drive a taxi.
He could only deliver takeouts and distribute flyers.
In the new era, he had lost the opportunity that his parents and grandparents had.
There was no upward passage. If he wanted to climb up, he had to have a degree and understand technology.
And those things, even real college students needed a lot of time to learn.
Self-taught? That was already impossible.
Because modern society had long been a sophisticated, complex, highly informative, and technology-based society that was not subject to individual will.
If everything was normal, he would be locked at the bottom for the rest of his life.
He would forever only be able to deliver takeouts, wash dishes, clean up, and be a security guard.
The factory no longer needed him.
Automation and informatization had replaced manpower.
There was a new automobile factory in the east of the city that was opened last year. There were only a hundred people in the entire factory.
However, it could produce cars that were produced by large factories with thousands of people in the past.
There was no one on the assembly line anymore.
There were only mechanical arms and electronic eyes.
What the workers needed to do was to serve and maintain these things.
But …
"I finally got a chance!" He held a booklet tightly in his hand.
The instruction manual of the Legend of Nightmare game pod.
He finally got a chance to gamble with his life.
He walked to the front of the game pod and stared at the ink-black game pod.
He couldn\'t wait to walk up to the gambling table.
To fight for a future for himself!
… …
Pyongyang, the capital of Silla Kingdom, the Council of Ministers.
The well-dressed nobles of the two classes were already seated in their seats.
In the center of the council was a screen.
Ambassador Wen Fengming was talking to the two classes in front of the screen.
"To sum up..."
"Everyone, I can responsibly inform you of a fact …"
"After the tireless efforts of the embassy staff and I, with the help of Miss Yin..."
"We, Silla, have received special permission..."
"Legend of Nightmare will open a branch in our country..."
"It will be used for coordination, transportation, and organization of related matters!"
"This branch has been authorized to directly belong to the headquarters of Legend of Nightmare\'s Xia operations and accept direct leadership!"
The students of the two classes listened and whispered among themselves.
Many people\'s faces were flushed.
This was undoubtedly an exciting matter.
Branch …
This was an unprecedented diplomatic breakthrough!
As everyone knew, the Emperor had always believed that Silla was an independent sovereign country.
Therefore, for generations, the official organizations and enterprises with official backgrounds had always set up a Silla branch company or a Silla branch office in Silla.
This was a sign of respect for Silla\'s independence and sovereignty.
But in the eyes of the people of Silla, this was a great humiliation!
Independence?
In the hearts of the people of Silla, it was the same as being expelled from their home and civilization.
In a sense, it was equivalent to expulsion!
Sovereignty was even more so.
Silla had never thought that it had any such thing as sovereignty.
After the Shang dynasty, the honor of the ministers of the Han dynasty and the concubines of the Tang dynasty did not allow them to have such a thing.
Because once they admitted it, they would be cutting themselves off from the world and from civilization.
They would be expelled from their own country!
It was absolutely impossible.
Therefore, in Silla, they manipulated the word game.
Silla branch company?
Put Silla at the end and add brackets.
All public reports would never mention the words Silla branch company of a certain group or the Silla representative office of a certain committee in Great Xia.
They would only report: the first branch company of a certain group in Great Xia/the first representative office of a certain committee in Great Xia.
If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to find the Silla in brackets.
In this way, they could at least comfort themselves that they were not expelled from the family.
They could still openly use the identity of the legitimate son of the Central Plains to guide the country.
They could even openly interfere in the internal and foreign affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Everyone in the world could discuss the matters of the world!
Could it be that there was still someone who dared to block the way of speech?
Those who dared to do such a thing must be powerful officials and treacherous officials.
Loyal officials and filial sons could be killed by anyone!
Now, Wen Fengming\'s achievements meant that the position of the Great Xia had loosened.
They even allowed Silla to have a branch directly under the leadership of the Great Xia headquarters.
This meant that Silla might have taken a crucial step!
Further ahead, the King of Silla would personally go to the imperial capital to pay a visit to the Emperor.
Then, in the end, the new King would accept the conferment of the Emperor and call himself the King of Silla of Great Xia.
Thus, Silla would become an independent kingdom under the system of the Great Xia Federation.
The legitimate son of the Central Plains had officially received the endorsement!
Not to mention, what exactly was this Legend of Nightmare?
Everyone was well aware of this.
Thus, after a moment of silence, warm applause sounded in the venue.
Under the leadership of the Honorable Chairman of the Xinluo Council of Physicians, Li Ge, all the representatives stood up and cupped their hands towards Wen Fengming, "Sir Wen\'s contribution will benefit the present and future generations!"
"Sir Wen\'s contribution will benefit the present and future generations!" Even the two classes who did not like Wen Fengming could only pinch their noses and congratulate him in unison.
There was no other way.
Now, Wen Fengming had done what the Xinluo people had been yearning for for three hundred years.
He was the hero of Xinluo!
Moreover, the fact that he was able to do this meant that he had already obtained the approval of the Great Xia.
No matter how much the two classes did not like it, they had to endure it.
They even had to try to accept it.
Because this was the will of the great country.
It was unstoppable and undefiable!
If anyone dared to oppose it, the prosecutor of the Xinluo Procuratorate would appear at their door tomorrow.
Amidst the applause, Wen Fengming bowed humbly and said solemnly, "I don\'t dare to take credit..."
"This is all Miss Yin\'s credit!"
"Therefore, I would like to ask all of you to give Miss Yin Mingxiu an honorific title..."
That was naturally the meaning of the title.
Xinluo\'s pragmatism had been a tradition for three thousand years.
For Xinluo, in the past three thousand years, the basic trend was to always worship the Son of Heaven and worship whoever was the Son of Heaven!
Now, a Xinluo woman had become the bridge between the two countries.
Naturally, the officials had nothing to say against it.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that Yin Mingxiu\'s surname was Yin, they might even support her to become the monarch of Xinluo.
After all, even a fool knew who was standing behind Yin Mingxiu?
Master X!
That was someone that even the Great Xia had to curry favor with and curry favor with.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, the Xinluo Council of Physicians unanimously decided to confer Yin Mingxiu the title of Nanqing Monarch and report it to the royal family for confirmation.
The facts proved that the Xinluo people\'s choice was incomparably correct.
Because...
When the Legend of Nightmare game capsules began to be distributed, huge waves had already appeared in all the countries in the world.
Just as the Xinluo people confirmed Yin Mingxiu\'s title.
King Ma Ji of Samboja announced his abdication.
On the surface, the reason was that he admired Buddhism and had no interest in national affairs, so he abdicated and focused on worshipping Buddha.
But in reality, this was a palace coup.
The transcendent being of Samboja could no longer tolerate it. They were dissatisfied that the royal family did not actively fight for it and did not get any results.
In addition, they heard about what happened in Xinluo.
They took advantage of the night to force Ma Ji to abdicate. At one point, someone even put a knife to his neck.
Forced to do so, he could only announce his abdication and become a monk.
And Ma Ji had no children.
Therefore, a battle broke out in Samboja over the royal family\'s successor.
It would probably be difficult to calm down for a while.
However, in the Indian Ocean, more than a thousand kilometers away from Samboja.
At the border of the world, the throne of the Kingdom of Ceylon had also changed hands.
The old King Zheng Lv announced his abdication on the grounds of old age and illness.
He also shaved his head and became a monk. His Dharma name was Xinyuan.
Under the support of the officials, Princess Zheng Manjing of Ceylon ascended the throne as Queen.
