“This is going to be troublesome…”
On Ren Suo’s screen was a gigantic red palace which appeared to be made out of countless red silk threads and flashed occasionally. However, when Irina found out the name of the palace, Ren Suo remained silent.
Over the past few days, Ren Suo had chased down the corrupt twin in numerous servers.
She first hid in an online paranormal game which was adapted from a novel with the same name about robbing tombs. Ren Suo pondered over it and decided to drive a tank from “Battlefield of Chaos” to suppress her;
She then hid in “Skyrim Scrolls”, an online magic game, where there were steam rifles, magic, and huge dragons, which proved to be a challenge to overcome for Ren Suo.
He drove a cosmic warship from an interstellar warfare RTS game into “Skyrim Scrolls”, but the corrupt twin disrupted all power systems with her magic, resulting in Irina’s death once again.
Ren Suo then searched and found out that the mobile version of “Dragon Ball Saiyan” was launched recently!
As such, he directly controlled a Super Saiyan into the game to see if magic or a Saiyan, who could destroy the galaxy, was more powerful.
The next moment, the players on “Black Garden”, the sixth server of “Skyrim Scrolls”, saw a flash of white across their screen and then all of them were disconnected. After they went back into the game, they found that even all of the NPCs were annihilated, forcing the official game server to be restarted…
The corrupt twin also learned her lesson and fled to an online fighting game “Star Defense” which was based on StarCraft and featured mecha robots as the main targets.
At that point, Ren Suo smiled smugly. He returned to “Skyrim Scrolls” to cut out a strong magician character and killed his way through the entire player city in “Star Defense”, using the abilities “Physical Shield”, “Frenzy”, “Hypnosis”, and “Heart-Shifting”—there were no defenses against such attacks targeted at the soul in “Star Defense”.
Relying on the differences between different games, Ren Suo was virtually overpowering the corrupt twin time after time as he chased her down. However, the time required for Irina to locate the corrupt twin also became longer and longer. When the source data of the corrupt twin dropped to 30%, Irina only managed to locate her after 6 hours.
According to Irina, that was because the source data of the corrupt twin was reduced and she was actively concealing herself, so it made the search much more difficult.
Although Irina had found the corrupt twin at present, Ren Suo was stunned and could not think of a way to defeat the corrupt twin in the server she was in.
That was because the name of this server was “League of Legends”.
It was the hottest PC MOBA game at present. Although the number of players in the game was reduced due to the emergence of similar mobile adaptations of the game, League of Legends was still a first choice for the large majority of competitive players—
Why would they choose to play using a small screen when they could do the same with a large screen?
It was also perfectly normal for the corrupt twin to have chosen the game; millions of people were constantly online in the game, and based on numbers alone it was much greater than any of the previous games she had been in.
However, Irina said: [The human connection is very unstable in this server, and the energy that the corrupt twin absorbs from the connection is also intermittent. Furthermore, there is no long-standing, persistent environment in this server, so the corrupt twin has to change the environment she is in very frequently, and this server is not the best for her.]
Ren Suo pondered over it and thought that indeed, each game in League of Legends lasted only 20 minutes if it was short, and up to an hour if it was longer. Nonetheless, the battle map would be refreshed after each game and naturally, the corrupt twin would not be able to remain in the same location for a long period of time.
However, all of that was meaningless to his strategy; the corrupt twin could change the character she was controlling to be the strongest character in League of Legends whenever she wanted to.
The challenge for Ren Suo, currently, was to choose which game and which character he should use so that he would definitely be able to defeat the corrupt twin.
It must be made known that the abilities system in League of Legends was very robust. From guns to magic, from martial arts to godlike abilities, there was almost everything. It was no longer sufficient if Ren Suo used firearms to flatten the battlefield—even the minions in the game might not be afraid of bullets.
Perhaps, it could even be said that Ren Suo’s fundamental abilities perfectly encompassed the abilities system of League of Legends—the existing abilities system in League of Legends could be fully controlled by the corrupt twin and she would be virtually immune to all of it.
“Should I spend money now to find a programmer to design a mini-game, and design an invincible character in the mini-game?”
Ren Suo told Irina about his idea, and Irina asked: [How invincible is invincible? Invincibility at the data level is meaningless as the attributes must physically appear.]
Ren Suo pulled the corners of his mouth. Magic, sci-fi, martial arts… All of these ability systems were already available in League of Legends!
There were even a few gods who could directly control time, space, and death. All forms of invincibility in terms of energy lost their meaning in front of those gods.
As long as the character Ren Suo controlled to enter the Summoner’s Rift did not possess any powers outside of the ability systems in League of Legends, there was no way he could defeat the corrupt twin. Notwithstanding other abilities, the existing spells in the game like an infinite flash, infinite healing, and infinite barrier already made the corrupt twin invincible.
Ren Suo did not dare to attempt battling the corrupt twin recklessly after he finally managed to reduce the source data of the corrupt twin to below 30%. If Irina died once or twice more, wouldn’t the corrupt catch back up?
Moreover, the longer the corrupt twin remained in the game, the more energy she could obtain from players to convert into her source data. As such, the longer the chase dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be to Irina.
In the meantime, Ren Suo reported all the “extraordinary” news which emerged on the internet after he “battered” the different game servers to the intranet as suspicious information. However, it seemed that no one had yet been sent to verify the information that Ren Suo provided, which gave Ren Suo sufficient time to complete the game.
Of course, he hoped that his information would continue to not be verified until after he uploaded his mission score and the video was uploaded. When that happened, the nation would discover that there was actually such a researcher who was “wise” and “farsighted” but was not known.
When that time came, Ren Suo might well be promoted and given a pay rise if his superiors were pleased, hehehe…
However, now that Ren Suo still could not figure out a way to defeat the corrupt twin after thinking for some time, he decided to eat while checking out the games in the mobile application store, to see if there were any mobile games with particularly powerful ability systems; it would be even better if there was a game which could wipe out the entire universe in one blow.
“You still have the mood to play games?”
Zhao Huo sat down opposite Ren Suo as he asked with a smile. Ren Suo glanced at Zhao Huo—he bought a mala bowl, how lame.
“I’m actually not playing games…” Ren Suo muttered.
He asked, “How would you defeat a character in League of Legends if he had all the abilities of all the characters in the game?”
Zhao Huo replied, “League of Legends? I would still be able to answer you if it was DOTA because I rarely play LOL. However, what you are talking about sounds like OMG mode (where skill selection is free-for-all).”
“Then, how would you win the battle? You simply control a character equipped with the skills of all the heroes and rely on them to fight. If all the skills are really available, then there must be several skills that can cause infinite control and restraint when combined together. It just depends on who strikes first in the battle.”
Ren Suo was slightly stunned and thought that Zhao Huo’s idea seemed decent. It was just that the League of Legends server was already controlled by the corrupt twin, and Ren Suo could not enter League of Legends to cut out data of all the heroes…
“Are you really addicted to the game now? That’s good too,” Zhao Huo said.
He picked up a piece of vegetable covered with chili oil and continued, “Ren Suo, there are plenty more fish in the sea, and what’s past is past.”
‘What is this fool with a fiancée saying…’ Ren Suo pulled his lips and said, “The students don’t need to attend Practice lessons now, shouldn’t you be spending all of your time Practicing?”
“I will still become hungry while Practicing,” Zhao Huo said.
He continued, “Ever since the Reiki Treasures were activated, our Practice efficiency has increased by leaps and bounds, but that also causes our bodies to be fatigued more easily. We need to eat more to supplement our nutrition.”
Ren Suo replied, “You eat this to supplement your nutrition? I think all of it will go to waste. Don’t blame me for not reminding you when you bleed a good time in the toilet later.”
Zhao Huo glanced at him and smiled warmly, “Don’t I still have you though?”
Ren Suo, o(￣▽￣)d, as he tightened his grip on his chopsticks, said, “No problem. I have learned how to use chopsticks for more than 20 years, and even picking up the pearls in pearl milk tea is as easy as ABC to me.”
A sense of pain emerged from his lower body as Zhao Huo listened to Ren Suo. He almost could not continue eating the spicy mala bowl in front of him and quickly changed the topic, saying, “I thought you would be depressed after you were rejected, but it looks like you are doing quite well… Xie Qiansi even asked me to comfort you, but I don’t think it is necessary now.”
“Rejected? Comfort me?” Ren Suo said as his mind was filled with questions.
“Hmm? Oh, I understand, you’ve already forgotten about it, I won’t talk about it then,” Zhao Huo said.
With an “old, fatherly” look, he said encouragingly, “Ren Suo, it is now a rare and precious period, so you should make good use of it to Practice. In the entire world, only Xuan Nation and a few other nations have elevated their Reiki levels, and all of the other nations are envious”
“However, in the next two days, the Federation of North America would have their Reiki veins activated too. When that happens, we will be on the same starting line again… Both for yourself and for the nation, Ren Suo, you should forget about your thoughts about having children and instead do your best for the great revival of our nation and people! As long as your mind remains firm, you might have a chance in the future… ”
Ren Suo was no longer interested to continue listening to Zhao Huo as he nagged on and on. Instead, he looked at the date and remembered that it had been five days since the emergence of the Reiki Light in New York.
That afternoon, which would be the early morning in New York, the All-Devouring Soul would activate the last Reiki Treasure!
When Ren Suo returned home, he was ready to see if there were any live broadcasts on the internet about the activation of the Reiki Treasure of New York. If he could not find any such broadcasts, he could only hope for the video uploaded by “Naisser Ren” showing the Monkey King fighting the Angels. Nonetheless, Ren Suo had no way of controlling the uploader.
Ren Suo thought, “If only I can watch everything up close, the perspective of watching at the scene is definitely not the same as playing on my own…”
However, apart from the fact that Ren Suo was unlikely to be able to travel abroad in person (even Practitioners like him faced travel restrictions), he might not be willing to go there even if he had the ability to—Monkey King was unlike Nine-tailed Fox and was really there to fight. Who knew if he would not involve the surrounding onlookers?
At the same time, however, Ren Suo really wanted to see it for himself—mainly because he felt that when he played the game, that particular fight (of acting cool) was very enjoyable. Now that he had the chance to “replay” and confirm his great achievements, Ren Suo naturally could not suppress his excitement.
“It would be nice if there were games which could be broadcasted in real-time… Eh?”
On the main screen, Ren Suo saw that the disc icon at the bottom right corner of the game “The All-Devouring Soul” was still spinning.
And next to that game, was “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”.
“This is going to be troublesome…”
On Ren Suo’s screen was a gigantic red palace which appeared to be made out of countless red silk threads and flashed occasionally. However, when Irina found out the name of the palace, Ren Suo remained silent.
