Spinning Remnant Cloud was sitting in the Silver General Contractor's bus. Other than the Jumping Nuclei players, his parents were also on the bus.
This Holographic Projection Exchange was equivalent to the All-star Competition after the World Championship. The All-star Competition was an entertainment event, so Spinning Remnant Cloud did not need to be too nervous. He could just treat it as a game.
His parents were sitting beside him, but Spinning Remnant Cloud was scrolling through his phone. Suddenly, a player sitting in the front row stood up and turned around to look at Spinning Remnant Cloud, who was scrolling through his phone.
"Little Wen, not bad!
You're the first player in the entire server to marry an NPC, and the wedding venue is at the Inner World's Martial Arts University. Are you going to hold the wedding later? "That player said this directly in front of Spinning Remnant Cloud's parents.
In the end, it was too late for Black Pot Boiled Meat to push his teammate back to his seat!
Spinning Remnant Cloud's parents were already on high alert.
"Little Wen?
Why are you getting married again? "Spinning Remnant Cloud's father hurriedly asked.
"It's an engagement!
I just got engaged! "
When Spinning Remnant Cloud was pressed by his father, he began to speak incoherently. He even got the main point of his words wrong.
"Engagement?
Engagement is no big deal!
Little Wen, why didn't you tell your parents first before you got engaged? "
Spinning Remnant Cloud's mother listened to Spinning Remnant Cloud's explanation and completely misunderstood him. Before the two of them came, they had already heard that their son had fallen in love with an unfamiliar girl.
In the end, just as they were about to meet the girl, the always obedient Spinning Remnant Cloud actually acted first and reported to them later.
He was already engaged to that girl?
No matter which parent it was, they would not be able to accept this!
"This … This, Dad, Mom!
The engagement I'm talking about is in the game! "Spinning Remnant Cloud calmed down and said the crux of the problem.
"An engagement is an engagement!
Is there a difference between the game and reality?
What's going on with that girl? "
Spinning Remnant Cloud's mother was more traditional. She was extremely anxious. On one hand, her son was far from the age of marriage. On the other hand, Spinning Remnant Cloud's mother was afraid that her son would cheat on another girl.
"Wait a minute, Little Wen, answer a few questions of mine first. Is your engagement partner really a character in the game?"
Remnant Cloud's father knew a lot more. He used to be a keyboard and mouse player of the older generation, so he knew what it meant to be engaged in a game. However, what he wanted to know was, "Is the character an NPC or a female player?"
"It's a character in the game, an NPC," Swirling Remnant Cloud answered his parents honestly.
"Aren't you messing around? What's the point of liking an NPC?"
"But I really like her!" Swirling Remnant Cloud replied.
"But isn't getting married in the game just like playing?
It would be better if it was a female player!
Can an NPC get a marriage certificate with you in real life and have children with you in real life?
This … this isn't love at all. "Swirling Remnant Cloud's father pointed out the cruellest part of the problem.
"This marriage might not be a game anymore, Little Wen … Are you serious about accepting Madam Calamity's engagement request?"
Silver, who was sitting at the front of the line, suddenly walked over to where Swirling Remnant Cloud was sitting and looked at him and his parents.
"I'm serious, but getting married in Holy Spirit … Isn't it the same as getting married in the game?" Swirling Remnant Cloud didn't know how to express himself.
However, Silver understood. Swirling Remnant Cloud really did like Madam Calamity, but he still thought that getting married to Madam Calamity wasn't as serious and important as it was in real life. He still treated it as a game.
Dispute also had a marriage system in the game, and getting married also had stat bonuses. If Silver remembered correctly, Swirling Remnant Cloud had thirty to forty alternate accounts in Dispute. Every player had one of these alternate accounts of different classes, and these alternate accounts would randomly hold a wedding with another female character for the sake of that extra stat bonus.
This was a very common thing in all online games, so it was the same in Holy Spirit. Getting married in Holy Spirit was just to add a little more stat to it.
Silver knew that Swirling Remnant Cloud didn't think that way, but he still underestimated the marriage in Holy Spirit, compared to … Madam Calamity.
"We're here. Let's go visit the Holy Spirit venue first. After all, this is our guild's first wedding in the game."
Silver emphasized the word 'game', as if he was purposely saying it for Swirling Remnant Cloud's parents to hear, but it also seemed like he was reminding Swirling Remnant Cloud of something.
"Get married!
Get married!
Get married!
Boss, can we go celebrate? "Some players who liked to be rowdy had already started to make a ruckus.
"The VR equipment at the Holy Spirit venue hasn't been adjusted yet. Let's go take a look in real life first," Silver said.
Mo Shigui didn't say a word as he led the team into Wuhan University's campus. The exchange this time was semi-open, so the entrance was already surrounded by fans who came to support their players. However, they couldn't enter Wuhan University's campus in front of the security guards.
After the fans discovered the members of Jumping Nucleus, they began to cheer, but there were also some discordant voices in the cheers.
It was as if someone was mocking them and loudly shouting things like "Nerds who like 2D people!".
Mo Shigui ignored these voices and led the team along Wuhan University's cherry blossom path to the football field. With the help of the holographic projection equipment, Wuhan University's football field had turned into a completely different scenery.
It turned out that these pirates not only knew how to steal things, but they also knew how to build things. Their artistic skills were not low either!
After Jiang Qiao told Madam Calamity about the Holy Spirit's favorite wedding style, as soon as Madam Calamity's proposal was successful, half of the pirates under her command rushed into the Inner World, carrying a huge pile of construction materials.
Originally, in the area of the Inner World Martial Arts University, the plan was to build a fishing pond on the bridge above the football field. In the end, a group of pirate workers came over and quickly and efficiently built a super luxurious open-air wedding hall.
Pure white stone pillars were placed on both sides of the football field. The ground was covered in grass and flowers, and the guests' benches were neatly arranged. In the middle of the wedding hall, there was a pure white statue of an unknown goddess dressed in a gorgeous floral costume.
It was impossible to tell that these pirates were cruel, decadent, and filthy. The entire venue was filled with a holy, romantic, and holy atmosphere.
Jiang Qiao looked at the perfect outdoor wedding venue and thought that these pirates should just change careers and become wedding planners.
After the wedding venue was built, the guests who were invited to attend the wedding arrived one after another.
On Madam Calamity's side, the crew members of her pirate crew and the veteran pirates from Drake's side were all present. It was rare for these pirates to tidy themselves up so that they did not look so messy.
Some of the old pirates who had served in the pirate crew since Madam Calamity's father's era could not help but wipe their tears and sigh that their mistress had finally gotten married.
Almost all the players in the server had received wedding invitations. As a famous esports player in Hua Nation, Spinning Remnant Cloud's sudden marriage in Holy Spirit attracted a lot of attention. Players who were online all came to the Inner World Martial Arts University area to join in the fun.
However, the football field was not crowded because it was the core area of the martial arts university. As the owner, the Abyss Temple could limit the number of players who could enter. Players who could not enter could also watch from around the football field or watch from the sky on their flying mounts.
Unfortunately, they could not see the spectacular scene in the game in real life. In reality, Spinning Remnant Cloud could only see the pirates and some players in the wedding hall that had already been set up.
"This is so real."
Spinning Remnant Cloud's father tried to touch a white pillar that was projected by a holographic projection, but his hand went through it. This proved that it was just a projection.
Just as Spinning Remnant Cloud's parents were marveling at the rapid advancement of technology, Spinning Remnant Cloud saw Madam Calamity waiting for him among the crowd in the wedding hall.
Madam Calamity was still wearing her usual pirate outfit. When she saw Spinning Remnant Cloud, she was pleasantly surprised and walked towards him.
"You're here?"
Madam Calamity's voice did not sound as domineering as usual. There was even a hint of shyness in her surprise.
"Yes …" Spinning Remnant Cloud nodded. He did not know why he felt guilty and uneasy, especially when he was standing in the sacred wedding hall under the watchful eyes of Madam Calamity's loyal crew.
"Little Wen, is she the character in the game that you like?
The model is beautiful, but there should be many NPCs with this name and model in the game, right? "Spinning Remnant Cloud's father saw the ID above Madam Calamity's head as soon as he walked up.
However, Spinning Remnant Cloud's father's words accidentally stepped on the minefield between Spinning Remnant Cloud and Madam Calamity. However, there were many NPCs in the game. Any player would know that, right?
