The contestants on Weibo all posted pictures of their wives in the Holy Spirit Realm. In a short period of time, the negative comments about Sweeping Away Cloud were suppressed.
But that didn't stop Juan Remnant Cloud's parents and officials from visiting.
When Juan Remnant Clouds heard that his parents were coming to the club, he crawled out of bed without thinking. He quickly completed the paperwork to leave the hospital and rushed back to the club.
Back in the club, Chairman Yin was already in a four-way meeting with Remnant Cloud's parents, the officials from Discord, and the representatives from Monarch Descends.
When Juan Remnant Cloud rushed to the conference room, the meeting had just started. When he saw his parents, he couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say.
Under CEO Yin's "sit" gesture, Sweeping Cloud sat in a corner of the conference room.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that Xiao Wen has someone he likes recently?"
Juan Can Cloud's mother was the first to change the topic. His parents were both elementary school teachers. His mother was a language teacher and his father was a math teacher. They worked in the same elementary school in the county.
Back then, it was Mo Shigui who discovered the sixteen-year-old Remnant Cloud in the Ladder of Strife. Then, Boss Yin personally came to bring Remnant Cloud to this professional arena.
Juan Can Scatter Cloud's parents were very reasonable people, but when their son suddenly found a girlfriend, they were still concerned and came to ask about it.
"I'm afraid so. Little Wen is indeed pursuing a girl recently." At that moment, everyone in the meeting room looked at Juan Remnant Cloud, including his parents.
The only thing Swirling Scattered Cloud could do was nod his head repeatedly in his autistic state ….
"This … Xiao Wen is only 19 years old this year. Is Mr Lu a staff member of the club?
Won't it affect his career? "Juan Scatter Cloud's father was more concerned about his son, who was only nineteen this year!
At the age of nineteen, she had just been admitted to university. It was an awkward age to fall in love but get married too early.
But because of this, Juan Can Yun's father was pinched by his mother.
"Regarding this Tang Wen's parents, I've already told the two of you on the way here. The source of public pressure that contestant Tang Wen is facing now is not a woman who exists in reality, but a virtual character, an intelligent AI, a game character called Holy Spirit."
The official sent by the Strife Alliance replied with a vague reply. The official sent by the Strife Alliance was here to deal with Swirling Remnant Cloud's inappropriate comments on Weibo.
"Virtual character?"
"Can't you get married and have children?"
"I'm afraid that won't be possible. Your son has fallen in love with a bunch of data," the person said to Swirling Remnant Cloud's parents.
When Remnant Cloud heard this, he wanted to say something, but Boss Yin gestured for him not to speak.
"Our Viva Nuclear Club has been invited to participate in an event at Upper City University tomorrow. The other clubs in China will also be sending people to participate." When Mr. Yin said this, the official instantly shut up.
The Strife Alliance was now placing great importance on collaborating with companies that possessed powerful holographic projection technology. This martial arts university exchange was also an opportunity for the Strife Alliance to showcase their capabilities to the public.
"The exchange is semi-open. I wonder if the two of you are interested in participating?" CEO Yin asked.
"Martial arts university?"
Swirling Remnant Cloud's mother's heart skipped a beat. As a teacher, it was definitely something to be proud of for her son to be invited to such a nationally renowned university.
"That's right. Regarding the girl that Xiao Wen is pursuing, she will also be attending the exhibition. When the time comes, the two of you can personally go and meet her," CEO Yin added.
CEO Yin knew that it would be useless to tell his parents whether his daughter-in-law was good or not. The best way was to directly bring his girlfriend to meet his parents.
Since Swirling Remnant Cloud dared to openly confess to Madam Calamity on Weibo, he had to be prepared for this.
"But isn't that a character in a game?
A virtual character? "Swirling Remnant Cloud's father was also an old netizen. He knew what a character in a game meant.
"The two of you will understand when you arrive at the exhibition. I can take care of the plane tickets and accommodation. Just treat it as a family trip."
CEO Yin easily convinced Swirling Remnant Cloud's parents. Then, he turned his attention to the person from The Sovereign Descends and the Strife Alliance's official.
"I'm looking forward to working with you at the exchange tomorrow."
After saying this, CEO Yin did not even give the two a chance to speak. He immediately dragged Swirling Remnant Cloud and his parents out of the conference room.
…
Late at night.
"What's the procedure for a Holy Spirit's marriage ceremony?"
"Pfft …"
When Jiang Qiao was still telling Madam Calamity some things to take note of in modern society, Madam Calamity suddenly asked a question about how Jiang Qiao spat the black tea in his hand onto Hai Lan's face.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough …" Jiang Qiao choked on his food for a long time. Beside him, Hai Lan, who was invisible, was so angry that she almost smashed the burger in her hand into Jiang Qiao's face.
However, she was too reluctant to do so. She could only wipe her face with her sleeve and continue eating.
"Do you Holy Spirits not have the concept of marriage?" Madam Calamity did not understand why Jiang Qiao was so surprised.
"Yes, but … how long have you known Swirling Remnant Cloud?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"If you Holy Spirits use the unit of time, it's three months, twenty-one days, thirteen hours, twenty-one minutes, and fifty-nine seconds. It's twenty-two minutes now," Madam Calamity said.
"Three months. I know you like Swirling Remnant Cloud a lot, but isn't it a little too early to talk about marriage now?"
Jiang Qiao's concept of love was more traditional and single-minded. Jiang Qiao felt that it was better to be in a relationship for a long time. A quick marriage was definitely unreliable.
However, it was different in the game. Holy Spirits had not released a marriage system, but in the game, a marriage between players could be as simple as spending money on a wedding ring or other wedding items.
Any female player could just say, "Wah wah wah, I'll marry that good big brother if he spends 684 yuan on me."
Then, a bunch of macho men would probably rush up to her, and the female player would randomly choose a rich man to marry.
Marriage and divorce were very normal for players in the game. There was no need for any kind of emotional foundation. In fact, when Jiang Qiao was playing an online game, he had specially created a female smurf to marry his main account in order to increase his stats after getting married.
Sigh … it was unbearable.
In summary, what Jiang Qiao was trying to say was that marriage in the game was really like a game. However, the problem was that Madam Calamity looked like … she had thought about it seriously.
"Early?
Does this have anything to do with time? "
"It doesn't, but I remember that you Planar Pirates practice polygamy?" Jiang Qiao was very tactful. Planar Pirates didn't have any written laws.
Their captain's orders were the law. Drake, the great pirate, had boasted to the players that he had more than a hundred wives …
As for Madam Calamity … she was currently unmarried. She didn't have a man she liked because she was always stronger than the men around her. At the same time, her status was always at the top. Ever since Madam Calamity was young, no one had ever questioned her authority.
Until she met the young Holy Spirit, Swirling Remnant Cloud …
"I hate that you've been questioning me since the beginning. Agent of the God Eater, you just need to tell me what the marriage ceremony of a Holy Spirit is like!" Madam Calamity reached out her hand to grab Jiang Qiao's collar.
However, when she remembered that Jiang Qiao was her superior, Madam Calamity began to control her arrogance and anger.
"If you force him, he might not agree." Jiang Qiao was worried that Madam Calamity would oppress Swirling Remnant Cloud too much.
This female pirate's desire for control was too strong. This was why she was called the King of Raiders. At first, in Madam Calamity's eyes, Swirling Remnant Cloud was just an extremely precious treasure.
"I won't try if I don't agree?
You can't do it if you can't?
That's not your style, agent! "Madam Calamity said.
"Then … what if Swirling Remnant Cloud refuses?"
This was what Jiang Qiao was worried about. He was afraid that Madam Calamity would kidnap him again if Swirling Remnant Cloud refused.
"Then it must be him … no … it might be me …" Madam Calamity looked at her arm. One of her arms was still the mechanical arm produced by the Breeder. "I've asked his Freya about it. Women in the Holy Spirit World have to learn how to cook and take care of their living space before they can be considered outstanding. There are also many other requirements. It's an extremely difficult training. If I'm rejected, I'll become stronger and ask for more from the kid!"
Was the logic of the Plane Pirates all so weird?
Jiang Qiao had a rough idea of Madam Calamity's view on love. She never thought failure was something to be ashamed of. Instead, not trying was something to be ashamed of.
"I understand. I'll teach you the procedure together with your knowledge of modern life. Also, let me remind you that the Holy Spirit World is monogamous."
"I know that … his Freya already told me that," Madam Calamity said.
How did Swirling Remnant Cloud's Freya know everything?
Jiang Qiao was confused, but since Madam Calamity had asked, Jiang Qiao thought it was time to install the marriage system into the Holy Spirit.
"First, when you arrive in the real world tomorrow, you'll be playing the role of a girl from Norway. Norway is a country, so I'll provide you with a built-in translation system, so you don't have to worry about anything. As for your identity, I'll use some special methods to take care of it, but it's all a secret. Don't tell anyone about it," Jiang Qiao said.
"And then?"
"And then there's this." Jiang Qiao used the power of the Creator to create an exquisitely wrapped box and tossed it to Madam Calamity.
"A ring?"
Madam Calamity opened the box and saw an exquisite ring inside. It was a Legendary-tier ring.
"The purpose of a Holy Spirit's marriage proposal is to find a way … to make the other party accept the ring. If Swirling Remnant Cloud accepts the ring as a Holy Spirit tomorrow, it should be easier. There's also the betrothal gift …"
"Betrothal gift?"
Madam Calamity heard a word she was familiar with. It was an exchange of chips or gifts.
"Don't worry about that. The key is to come as a Holy Spirit …"
Although it was a little cruel, Jiang Qiao did not think Swirling Remnant Cloud would accept the ring in the real world. If Swirling Remnant Cloud treated him as a marriage in the game, it would be easier for him to accept it.
"Isn't he coming as a Holy Spirit tomorrow?"
"Oh no, I didn't show you what Swirling Remnant Cloud looks like in the real world.
That's fine, he's pretty much the same as in the game. The only difference is his hair color, "Jiang Qiao said.
Jiang Qiao said, "In short, I will supervise your entire journey tomorrow. It will be a wonderful journey, believe me."
