The little incident didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. After lunch, Zhong Manwen strolled along the tree-shaded path, returning to her room. The two young men were restless and wanted to take a walk, so the old lady sat alone on the veranda, brewing herself a pot of tea. The jungle was cool and tranquil—even at noon, the air wasn't stifling. The wooden cottages seemed to blend into the shadows of the trees, surrounded by lush greenery. After so many years living in tents, Zhong Manwen was used to…

A few days later, Si Zhiyan went to the real estate agency to settle his overdue rent. The agency was as busy as ever, though Aunt Zhou’s phone seemed to ring less often now, and she even spared a moment to glance over at Si Zhiyan thoughtfully. Bian Xu was his usual cheerful self, circling around her and saying all sorts of good things, until Aunt Zhou’s perpetually knit brows finally relaxed a little. Si Zhiyan knew that the work he was doing was, in some sense, encroaching on the agency’s…

Even Yan Cheng, in that instant, summoned the Hunter’s Axe. Ye Xianqing rose swiftly, stepping back to position himself behind Yan Cheng. As a doctor, his greatest contribution in battle was simply to keep himself safe. Yan Cheng stood alone, blocking the flood of monsters like a lone fortress, gripping his hunter’s axe in both hands, his gaze wavering: “Havana…” But Havana didn’t take kindly to this: “Captain, what do you mean by that?”“You said you had something important to…

Aunt Zhou looked at Bian Xu for a while, her expression gentle, and after a long silence, she said, “I don’t quite know.” “I don’t really know what’s maintaining this place, but most of my memories are muddled most of the time. If you want to know something, just ask, and I’ll tell you if I remember. I’ll answer as I remember—don’t mind if it’s all over the place.” For someone who was technically a boss-level entity in a dungeon, Aunt Zhou spoke so kindly that Bian Xu was…

This sudden outbreak took everyone completely by surprise. All the players were startled; Gao Zhai, who had just been gazing longingly at the radiant sphere, was caught off guard and cried out in shock. The commotion came to an abrupt halt. Si Zhiyan resembled a spider queen now, weaving threads through a decaying, dense jungle, spinning a web that ensnared all. Every strand fell under the watchful eyes of his own children; each could see a portion, but the entire pattern—only Si Zhiyan…

313 “Oh—” As Groo was tying ribbons on the tree, she looked out at the balcony and rounded her lips in surprise. Beyond the large balcony blinds, Chloe and On Ijo were kissing each other again and again. “Stop watching.” Joorim, hanging fairy lights, pulled Groo into his embrace. Despite that, Groo twisted her neck to keep watching the pair. “Love!” “Looks that way.” Groo clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her cheeks flushing…

Si Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He shifted aside to make room. “Please, help yourselves. Consider this compensation for the earlier commotion.” The crowd cheered and surged forward. In the apocalypse, the deaths and injuries of players, the rise and fall of factions, had become ordinary occurrences. The Silver Ring Alliance had acted with such arrogance and cruelty; few mourned their fate—most only clapped in satisfaction. Cheering as they went, people trampled the ground…

The next tier of the Eye’s trial? Si Zhiyan shook his head slightly. “You haven’t, right? I haven’t either,” said Nidhogg, his dragon wings giving a slight twitch. “Seven years now, the sword of Damocles has been hanging over us—long enough that I’m almost starting to forget…” “But you’re not like me, Boss.”Nidhogg bared his sharp canines in a grin.“I can feel that thing’s malice toward you… Don’t expect you’ll have as much time as I did.” Si Zhiyan smiled,…

171. An emergency meeting was convened at once. In truth, the only attendees were Serapi and Luni, plus Orkis and Karl, who had been outside demonstrating sword techniques for the children. Batisa discreetly excused herself. “Grandmother, honestly!” Serapi complained, rubbing her aching jaw. “How could you tell me such important news only now!” “Just wait until you’re my age. You start forgetting important things every now and then.” Lady Kia reproached her in…

179. At the threshold of summer, the Empire grew greener by the day. Yet the Baglosa estate, in contrast, only grew deeper in shadow. An unannounced audit had exposed a multitude of crimes. The discovery of double books caused an enormous uproar—tax evasion, money laundering, embezzlement of public funds, and even the suspicion of funds with unclear origin. Their monopoly on the tea trade had been stripped away by the Kia merchant guild. With assets frozen, there was no way to stave off the…

175. “Your ears are red.” Seraphie forced herself to suppress her laughter. “Can I touch them?” “Why are you like this today…” Orkis grumbled, running a hand down his face. Nevertheless, he obligingly lowered his upper body toward her. Seraphie reached out cautiously. His reddened ears were hot, the heat palpable even before she actually touched them. Her fingers paused in the air, then lightly brushed the edge of his ear. “…Whew.” His hunched shoulders flinched;…

The Road of Glory The Skeletal Ferry was always quiet at night, but lately, things had changed—there was always an air of life around. Groups of service players wandered the streets, faces full of hope, talking about what they’d eat for the evening, all heading toward the farm rift. None of this had anything to do with Liu Zhengchu. He pulled his worn coat tighter around himself, drifting through the crowd absentminded and forlorn. The hope he’d recently felt had burst like a bubble,…

That… that was it? It was solved! At the entrance to the farm, players who had pitched tents or brought sleeping bags, those steeling themselves for a wait of three or even five days in the long queue, all stared wide-eyed in shock. Gazing up at this bustling metropolis, people were utterly dumbfounded. They had been estranged from human civilization for so long that even a streetlight able to shine steadily now seemed a luxury. A female player walked along the street, looking up, her eyes…

The night was deep.Battle raged at the Commander's residence, the fighting fierce and chaotic. But the Commander's residence lay within the qualified players’ sector, far from ordinary families.

The quotas Gu Haoping had set were so high, and the day’s labor so tiring, that they passed out in the night,…

Bian Xu never liked big cities. For convenience in handling affairs, Si Zhiyan had claimed the top-floor duplex apartment in the city’s tallest building as his own. The rooftop was a small garden with a pool, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows stretched the stunningly lit neon nightscape of the metropolis. Si Zhiyan moved his office here, and at night, as he watched the pinpricks of light spread and illuminate the city, he was filled with an unmatched sense of accomplishment. While Si…

159. The crown prince was never known for his kind temperament. There was always a chill in the air around him, a harsh, cold presence—but until recently, he had never abused those beneath him. But now, he was changing. “I heard he punished a servant just because a drop of water splashed from the washing basin, and he overturned an entire meal because the sauce wasn’t the same as yesterday’s.” “…” “…” Everyone’s faces turned ashen. “Th-then, why did that maid…

73A New Life Outside the farm, the crowd waited in the forest, luggage in hand.The eligible players gathered in small clusters among the trees; the labor players, organized by Lin Qiushui and Wang Wen, assembled with their belongings in a single place for safety. With nowhere else to go, Liang Qingshuang and the rest squatted at the very front of the gate, unable to resist peeking in now and then, craning their necks in anticipation. Creak. At last, the farm gate slowly swung open. The…

147. The day she visited the Imperial Palace. Seraphie had a long conversation with the Emperor, discussing the events that were to unfold. Their talks stretched on for quite some time. Among their subjects was the matter of the temple. ‘My aunt, the woman who gave birth to my younger sister, was imprisoned in Paradise.’ ‘Paradise? You don't mean 66-6 Parsar Street?’ ‘Iris’s youngest and my escort infiltrated the place and confirmed her safety.’ Karl and Pura had scouted…

“Who told you you could only sleep for one hour?” At these words, the group fell into a moment of mutual bewilderment. Wasn’t the allotted sleep period in the Abyss something they had figured out long ago? The teammates began murmuring among themselves—was the little doctor really all right after making it back alive? Could his mind have been affected? Yan Cheng lounged against the open tent, making no effort to struggle, simply turning his head to look at him. Suddenly, Ye Xianqing…
