“Class, remember not to casually allow others to view the stuff you are watching so that unnecessary chaos can be prevented.”
Upon walking out of Luoyang City, Luolong Police Station, Ren Qingqing looked up and uncontrollably felt a sense of detachment.
“You really gave me a good scare.” Her dormmate came out of the police station and complained, ” Qingqing, don’t walk so fast.”
“Shall we go back to the dorm?”
“How about having a meal to calm our nerves?” Ren Qingqing looked at the scorching sun and said, “Since we rarely hang out, shall we try the food at Fan Sakura restaurant? I heard they are having a 60% discount…Let me ask my friends…”
Ren Qingqing and her dormmate spent half an hour trying to find a place to eat. As they were about to take a seat at the restaurant, her dormmate uncontrollably looked around and asked, ” Qingqing, do you think there are monsters here, just like the place we were at just now?”
“Do you think monsters will come here to eat sushi? Don’t overthink.” Ren Qingqing looked at her dormmate and proceeded to look at the menu, and asked, “Your standard order, seaweed with octopus and snail meat?”
However, her dormmate wasn’t willing to give up just there and continued asking, “Qingqing, do you think we can be as powerful as those guys in the black armor?”
“The rich rely on technology while the poor rely on mutation, have you mutated yet?” Ren Qingqing inelegantly told her dormmate, while passing the menu to her, “I’ve ordered. It’s your turn to order.”
“It may not be the case.” Her dormmate said, “Those guys in black armor don’t look like they are wealthy. Instead, they just look like regular policemen.”
In the morning, Ren Qingqing and her dormmate were on their way for mountain trekking. However, while taking the path to the train station, they saw a horrifying scene—
A hideous monster, with a decomposing opened stomach and hanging intestines, was being chased by a few guys in black armor.
The girls were so terrified that they stood frozen to the ground. The guys in black armor didn’t need to use guns as they apprehended the monster using batons and their bare hands. When the monster tried to resist and sprung an attack on the guys in black armor, the armor deflected the attack!
Upon the apprehension of the monster by the guys in black armor, the girls were called upon the police station to take down their statements. However, the girls were told to take a rest at the police station—Ren Qingqing had a hunch that the police were getting their information from the school.
After a thorough search, the police were still unable to find out any information and had no choice but to release them. They didn’t sign any form of agreement but had to factory reset their phones.
Ren Qingqing obliged obediently, but her dormmate was reluctant, as she had to clear her data on the iCloud because she uses an APPLE handphone…
Although they had some losses, they were still thankful that they made it out unscathed. Hence, they weren’t feeling too dejected when they were having their lunch.
Looking around them, the girls felt a sense of superiority over others as they had witnessed monsters with magical powers and strength.
Just like how DOTA and CS players despised LOL and CF players respectively, the girls felt as though they were playing ‘Extraordinary World’, having an edge over those mortals that were in the ‘Scientific Earth’.
“Perhaps that’s the case, but at the end of the day, we are still ordinary human beings. We can only sit around and see what happens.” Ren Qingqing said, “We can only keep up with the updates if an organization is set up against the monsters. When that happens, phones will become obsolete, and we will be using magic to alter our looks and voice and even treat our myopia…”
“Updates…You must have been playing too much Soul of the Sword.” Her dormmate was speechless. “If anything, the government is the one that controls the teaching of magic. The government will be our biggest support, or should I say our greatest support is none other than the government.”
“No matter what, it is of no concern to us.” Ren Qingqing shrugged her shoulders and said, “Perhaps you can head back home to look for any form of Kung Fu manuals. Aren’t there many actors that lead a better life after they mysteriously stumble upon a chessboard, jade, manuals or even rings?”
“My family and ancestors are all poor farmers.” Her dormmate said with exasperation.
“Poverty ends after 3 generations.” Ren Qingqing continued, “Theoretically, if your ancestors were indeed poor, there wouldn’t even be an existence of the third generation. Hence, your ancestors definitely enjoyed success before, so hang in there, young lady!”
“Anyway, I’m nothing but an ordinary girl now.” Her dormmate said, “On the other hand, shouldn’t you be the main lead since you’re under the Taian family tree?”
“What nonsense, it’s merely an entire village with people that have the same surname.” Ren Qingqing said, “You would never imagine how shocked I was when I realized how few people there are with the surname ‘Ren’. In the past, due to the fact that the entire village went to the same school, I had thought that ‘Ren’ was as popular as ‘Chen’, ‘Li’ and ‘Huang’.
As soon as the sushi was served, both of them eagerly took out their phones and refreshed their social platform feed. ” Ehh, the UP master uploaded a new video?”
“What UP master? You mean an anime narrator?” Ren Qingqing asked.
The reason why Ren Qingqing is close to her dormmate is because they are a gamer geek and an anime geek respectively. Both of them usually stay in the dorm, unlike their other dormmates.
The two girls decided to mountain trek as they were worried that they may die in the dorm, sooner or later, due to the lack of exercise.
“No, it’s Naisser_Ren! He’s the one that launched [The Bloody Banquet] and [A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters]!” Her dormmate exclaimed.
“Oh, it’s him.”Ren Qingqing nodded nonchalantly.
Ren Qingqing had seen [The Bloody Banquet] previously, but she had no interest in [A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters] because she felt that there were too many computer generated graphics.
Wait a minute, Ren Qingqing had not seen monsters previously, but now she has. After realizing the fact that the world wasn’t that scientific after all, she suspected that Naisser_Ren’s videos may be real…
“What’s the new video called? [Over My Dead Body]? Not a charismatic hitman yet again?” Her dormmate said.
Ren Qingqing remembered that her dormmate favored the Heaven Palace Hitman from [The Bloody Banquet], even her screensaver was downloaded from the video.
“Interesting name, sounds like a type of special skill.” Ren Qingqing said.
“Thankfully, there’s free WIFI here…What the heck?”
Her dormmate exclaimed, and Ren Qingqing curiously asked, “Why did you shout?”
“He no longer uploads videos that showcase superpowers, and instead, he uploads mega drama series.”
“Dramas?” Ren Qingqing laughed while moving beside her dormmate. “Wow! It’s real…He has uploaded 6 episodes already.”
Just as they were discussing, her dormmate’s phone had a notification.
[The UP master that you follow has uploaded a new video.]
“What?” Her dormmate clicked on the notification. “He actually uploaded a new episode…Wait, in the past 18 hours, he actually uploaded 1 episode every 6 hours?”
Ren Qingqing leaned over and saw, [Naisser_Ren has uploaded episode 1 of “Over My Dead Body”]
Naisser_Ren has uploaded episode 2 of “Over My Dead Body”]
[Naisser_Ren has uploaded episode 3 of “Over My Dead Body”].
His frequency of uploads was simply astonishing.
“Place your phone in the middle, and let’s watch it together.” Ren Qingqing said, as her dormmate’s phone has a screen large enough for both of them to enjoy the videos comfortably.
As the video began, what was shown was a breathtaking view of mountains, greenery, and the ocean. There was also a narration that came alongside.
[This is a 2000 year old myth.]
[This is the place responsible for the rise and fall of a family.]
[A.D.190 is the beginning of everything.]
Shortly after, the theme song cued in…?
The song started. It brought about a pessimistic connotation and was orchestrated by instruments they can’t decipher.
Although there was indeed someone singing, the song just felt like background music. The reason for this was because the characters appeared and disappeared at ease, each leaving a clear sentence—
[Brother, the food you cook…tastes awful.]
[Remember to wake me up when you are eating. If I’m not awake, you guys can break up.]
[In the future, I’ll be fine alone.]
[There are many things that should be pondered about after death…and now is the perfect time.]
[I can finally stop waking up early anymore…but at the same time, this means that I can’t train with you guys too…]
[Eh…I also want to be cherished and be well taken care of like a girl…]
Suddenly, her dormmate paused the video, pointed to female lead on the screen and said, “Qingqing, doesn’t she look like you? Since when did you participate in the production of this drama?”
Ren Qingqing analyzed the screen carefully, slowly realizing that the side view of the female main lead indeed looked like her and that she looks younger than Qingqing, coupled with better complexion…
Even their voices sounded similar.
Looking at this role, Ren Qingqing felt a throbbing sensation…
