Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

The next day, in the evening.

Master Jiang, exhausted after a day and a night of hard work.

Boiling water to make myself a bowl of fragrant Sanxian Yi Mian (a type of noodle soup), then opening the refrigerator and taking out a chilled iced tea, is the best comfort for working people after a hard day's work.

"Well, luckily I'm more skilled, otherwise I would have really fallen victim to their combined attack."

Jiang Ling recalled the scene of being besieged by five people in the Flying Chess PVP just now and couldn't help but shake his head.

While cooking noodles, he started tidying up the game controllers and snack wrappers scattered in the living room. He also gently carried his little loli wives, who had fallen asleep on the sofa from playing games, back to the bedroom one by one.

At the same time, the intense battle that lasted 18 hours also came to mind, a battle that was extremely brutal.

Fortunately, it's just a virtual game.

The order of challenges in this round-robin tournament.

It's still vivid in my mind:

The first to challenge him was the pregnant heiress of the Kujo Group, a female player who, despite her advanced pregnancy, insisted on playing at full speed and was unparalleled in her offensive prowess.

——Lord Li Meiyu!

Before the battle began, she raised her chin and boasted, "Hmph~ I've been honing my gaming skills for two whole weeks!"

"Let's see if you can withstand this combo!"

Jiang Ling: "Ora Ora!"

Li Meiyu: "I'm starving—!"

Stupid Miu was defeated... unable to rise again.

There wasn't a moment to mourn the failure of that stupid little brat!

Next up is...

The goddess in black stockings, the gentle girl with long, straight black hair—Yan Youyou!

"Ah Ling, don't underestimate me!"

This is Yan Youyou's pre-battle declaration.

The words fell.

The character she was controlling was already charging towards Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling: "Ora Ora!"

Yan Youyou: "I'm so hungry—!"

There was not a moment of mourning for the defeat of Unit-01 in Black Pantyhose.

Next up is...

The silly blue-haired girl, the world-famous hacker girl—Lan Xinlan!

Lan Xinlan stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug: "Hmph~ I bet that gauntlet just now took a toll on your stamina and skills, didn't it?"

"Leave the finishing touches to me!" (Strikes an arrogant pose)

Jiang Ling: "Ora Ora!"

Lan Xinlan: "I'm hungry!"

There wasn't a moment to mourn for Alan's defeat.

Next up is...

A battle-hardened martial arts girl, a self-proclaimed strongman, and a white-haired iceberg—Song Ruyu!

"Hehehe... I won't let Alan and the others down!"

"Through Alan and the others' sacrifice, I have learned your fighting patterns..."

Jiang Ling: "Ora Ora!"

Song Ruyu: "Watch me hold on!"

Jiang Ling: "Ora—!"

Song Ruyu: "I'm starving—!"

There was not a moment of mourning for the martial arts girl's defeat!

Next up is...

Shen Yue, a little purple-haired girl who enters the machine, creates a golden goblet, and controls the hungry ghosts and gluttonous ghosts to achieve a balance between the two!

"You have nothing to say?"

Shen Yue: (⩌⤚⩌) Give me some food!

Jiang Ling: "Oh... Oh ho ho ho ho..."

Shen Yue: "Gurgle gurgle..."

Jiang Ling: "They actually launched a sneak attack! Ora Ora—Ora!"

In the end, even Shen Yue was defeated. He thought it was over, but he didn't expect that Li Meiyu and Yan Youyou, who were the first to be defeated, had already rested.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?! Are you all going to attack me at once?!" Jiang Ling, controlling her virtual character, was somewhat embarrassed.

It's worth noting that MC Ludo PVP is the virtual video game that most respects group battles...

Li Meiyu and Yan Youyou exchanged a glance, revealing a very mischievous smile:

"Hmm~ Na~~"

Jiang Ling: ……

Jiang Ling took a deep breath, activated his character's power level, and roared:

"Then come on—I am the one who will teach you what humility is!"

Li Meiyu fell, Yan Youyou rose; Yan Youyou fell, Lan Xinlan rose; Lan Xinlan fell, Song Ruyu rose…

Ultimately, however, the blond-haired man's strength was still superior.

As the sun rose and set outside the window, and the blood-red sunset spilled onto the living room floor, the battle that had raged day and night finally came to an end.

The virtual battlefield was a scene of devastation, a complete mess, with only one player still standing.

Only Jiang Ling was there.

Glug glug...

The instant noodles on the stove were cooked, and a rich aroma wafted over.

Jiang Ling turned off the game console and began to eat his instant noodles with gusto. After finishing, he went into his study, rummaged through his suitcase, and found the VR headset Shen Yuntian had given him, as well as the black identity card Luo Xi had handed him.

He swiped the card lightly on the back of the VR headset.

drop!

A faint blue light appeared in the center of the helmet, indicating successful activation!

Jiang Ling put on the helmet, and an endless, azure virtual space instantly unfolded before her eyes.

Please enter your unique code name!

A semi-transparent control panel popped up in front of her. After a moment's thought, Jiang Ling typed two words with her fingertips.

[Emperor]

Is the codename confirmed to be "Emperor"?

Jiang Ling replied in a deep voice, "Confirmed."

The next second, the words "Emperor" appeared in gold lettering above his virtual avatar's head.

Please customize your virtual avatar!

The panel refreshed again, displaying a highly customizable 3D character creation template. From facial features and body shape to clothing and accessories, everything could be freely adjusted.

"That's interesting. What kind of character should I create?" Jiang Ling stroked his chin, lost in thought.

After a long while, he finally started making adjustments to the template.

After fiddling with it for more than ten minutes, a brand new virtual image appeared before his eyes—a burly figure sitting on a golden throne, with a handsome and sharp face and a tall and strong physique, as if he were the strongest warrior that could be born among the human race.

He controlled his character to float around in the pure blue space. After all, it was a virtual space, and his movements were completely unrestricted by physical rules.

Double-clicking the space bar allows you to fly freely.

[Ding! We have detected an internal meeting scheduled for today. Would you like to enter the "Sorrow of God" private meeting room in advance?]

Jiang Ling answered without hesitation: "Yes."

The next second, ripples spread across the pure blue space, distorting and blurring the image like rippling water.

A moment later, a snow-white portal slowly opened in front of him, with the word "Enter" floating above it.

He reached out and touched the portal, and the surrounding scene instantly went dark. The words "Loading" appeared on the panel in front of him.

A few seconds later, a blinding white light suddenly exploded, filling his entire field of vision.

Jiang Ling subconsciously narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but complain, "What's going on? Did we enter the Genshin Impact loading screen?"

Welcome to the Lament of the Gods!

As the white light slowly faded, a magnificent and enormous palace appeared before him. The painted dome was densely covered with figures, and upon closer inspection, they were all deities from various mythologies—Greek, Roman, Norse, Japanese…

Of course, the ancient gods of the Great Xia Dynasty are also indispensable.

"Oh? A newcomer has arrived!" A deactivated voice came from behind.

Jiang Ling turned around, saw the person's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Brother, your little dick looks quite unique."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I was young and naive back then. Who knew that once an image was set, it couldn't be changed?"

Squidward, with eighteen methoxy giants growing from his forehead, sighed and stretched out a tentacle (methoxy giant) towards him:

"Hello, 'Emperor,' my name is 'Cthulhu,' a Level 3 Divine Bloodline user. You can call me Little Cthulhu. I didn't expect you to arrive so early; the meeting doesn't start for another half hour."

Jiang Ling: ……

He glanced at the strange tentacles covered in granules.

Why do I feel this inexplicable murderous intent?

"Hello." As a man on the golden throne, he did not choose to touch such a bizarre and sordid object.

Seeing this, Squidward had no choice but to retract his tentacles. "Please sit down. It's absolutely safe in this virtual space."

Jiang Ling: "Oh."

"Were you also being hunted down by the Apostles of God, which is why you joined the Sorrow of God?" Octopus asked with a grin.

"no."

"Oh? Then why did you join the Sorrow of God?"

"I just don't like those gods and I want to mess with them," Jiang Ling said, of course, without revealing his true intentions.

Squidward: ? ? ?! Awesome!!!

"You're the first person who didn't join the rebellion against the gods just because you were being hunted by their apostles... So what about your divine blood?"

Jiang Ling: "? What divine blood?"

Squidward exclaimed in surprise, "You don't even know about the blood of the gods?"

Jiang Ling: "I am a mortal."

Squidward: "You're a mortal?!?"

"So what is the blood of the gods?" Jiang Ling asked curiously. "What's it used for? What can it do?"

"This is a long story!" Squidward rubbed his chin with his ten tentacles, emphasizing:

"It's a long story!"

Jiang Ling: ……

"Then let's make it short."
