"Eh?"
When he heard Hua Li's voice, Chu Cheng couldn't help but be surprised. "You're fast!"
Huali's voice suddenly became a woman's. "Of course. I'm true to Ah Jue."
"Damn," Chu Cheng said, pained. "Can't you stop that? You've lost all your integrity."
"Cut the crap," Huali retorted. "If you have nothing better to do then get your ass over here.
We're not going to the Holy City for now. Ah Jue's hurt pretty bad, he needs time to recover. But in a month the Pontiff's Citadel will be here on Skyfire. "
"Got it.
They'll be here in a month.
Ah Jue, get some brandy ready and wait for me. "Chu Cheng's voice was full of righteousness.
"Cheng Cheng, hurry up." Just then, a sweet voice came through the communicator.
"Ahem, I've got something to do. I'm hanging up!" Chu Cheng said, then hung up.
Lan Jue slapped her forehead. "This guy … a dog can't stop eating shit.
When is he going to stop?! "
Huali was indignant. "He has the nerve to say I don't have integrity.
He was good. The word 'moral integrity' was the only word left.
I want to beat the shit out of him! "
"He'll be here soon." Lan Jue patted Huali's shoulder in agreement.
Huali shot Lan Jue a look. "That's fine. I'll use you as a practice target. I'll deal with him later.
I bet he's been hollowed out by now. "
Lan Jue's lips curled into a strange smile. She nodded. "Alright!"
There were only five simulators, and they were all the latest models. Zeus Jewelry Shop's income was among the highest on Skyfire Avenue.
In reality, Lan Jue was a hands-off shopkeeper. He didn't even know how much money he had.
Usually, the two shops above ground and underground were managed by the girls.
Lan Jue and Huali each chose one and entered it.
…
"Qian Lin, let me take you home.
Are you feeling better? "Li Cha followed Zhou Qianlin like a gentleman as they walked out of the academy.
"I'm in good health," Zhou Qianlin said lightly.
Li Cha said in surprise, "But when I went to your house for dinner last night, I went to your house.
Didn't you say that you weren't feeling well and didn't come down to eat? "
Zhou Qianlin stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at him seriously. "Li Cha, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?
I just don't want to see you.
We.
It was over.
Or rather, we've never started. "
"But you're my fiancée!" Richard stared blankly for a moment before replying bitterly.
Zhou Qianlin hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, she seemed to have made up her mind.
She took half a step forward and walked to Li Cha's side.
Li Cha looked at her with a little flattered, but he heard Zhou Qianlin whisper, "The person who took me away that day had me."
As if he had been electrocuted, Li Cha's body shook violently, and his whole body froze like a statue.
"I'm sorry. Don't come to me again." Zhou Qianlin took a few steps back, bowed slightly to him, and turned to leave.
Tang Mi had been following her on the other side.
Although Zhou Qianlin's voice was very low just now, she still heard it clearly.
"Qian Lin, what you said is not true, right?
You and Zeus really … "
Zhou Qianlin didn't say anything.
She just quickened her steps and walked forward.
Tang Mi also seemed to realize something. She closed her mouth and followed her closely.
Looking at their backs, Li Cha couldn't help but clench his fists slowly. He still remembered the scene that day.
To him, it was the most humiliating scene in his life. The man with the golden mask.
He proudly announced to everyone, "I am Zeus!"
Until they walked out of the school gate.
Tang Mi asked Zhou Qianlin again, "Qian Lin, what you said to Li Cha just now, was it just to make him give up, or was it true?"
Zhou Qianlin lowered her head and whispered, "Xiao Mi, do you know?
Actually, I feel very sorry for Li Cha.
Originally, I chose him because I thought he was a playboy. But after getting to know him, he has a good nature. Unfortunately, it's impossible between me and him.
I can only let him suffer for a short time. "
Tang Mi blinked. "But, that's not what I care about!
I just want to know if you and Zeus have done it. If you do, what does he look like?
Is he good in that area?
Why don't you introduce me to him?
We're sisters anyway. Let's have a fair competition, okay? "
Zhou Qianlin's black hair fluttered in the wind. Her blue eyes glinted menacingly.
"Uh … well, I'm going first!" Tang Mi turned and ran.
"Xiao Mi, stop right there!"
…
DreamNet!
Dreamburg!
The sky was a pale rainbow, like a fairyland, like a dream.
The buildings were white with a faint golden hue, untainted by even a speck of dust.
It was like a world of peace and tranquility. Everything was peaceful and comfortable.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a cloud. The cloud was pure white, and carried a faint fragrance.
But more than that, it was moist enough to wash away one's body and soul.
"It's been a long time since I've been here.
But every time I do, it's as if I can't tell the difference between reality and illusion. "
The speaker was a tall, slender man, clad in a golden robe, with long golden hair and a golden mask.
Above his head, there were two faintly discernible words: Zeus.
"Yeah!
It's been a long time. The last time you came was three years ago.
I'm starting to wonder if you'll be kicked out if you don't come. "
The speaker was another man, similarly tall and slender. His blue robe was embroidered with the pattern of the sea, and his long blue hair flowed behind him in the wind. His face, however, was covered by a silver mask.
Hovering above his head were two characters: Neptune.
Dreamburg was a special place in DreamNet. Almost every city in DreamNet was connected to the real world, and was bustling with activity.
However, this place was different. In this huge city, only an extremely small number of people were qualified to come here.
Here, however, was DreamNet's best service, many of which were connected to the real world.
There were even s-ranked gems auctioned.
There were top-notch mecha blueprints for sale.
Many of the most inconceivable things in the real world could be done here.
Everyone who could come here had at least one identity: a god-ranked pilot!
God-ranked pilots stood at the pinnacle of the mecha world. Naturally, they were at the pinnacle of DreamNet as well.
Any pilot would be proud to be able to enter this place. To be able to do so meant that the simulated battles were meaningless to them.
This place was a platform, a platform for the god-ranked pilots to interact with each other.
The mecha operators here all had their own code names. No one knew who the person behind the code name was or what they looked like.
None of that mattered.
This was a domain, the domain of the god of mecha.
If a mecha pilot wanted to truly ascend to godhood, then this was the path they had to take.
Only those who had tempered themselves here could say they stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
Once upon a time, the Four Divine Monarchs had created a legend here.
Once upon a time, they'd fought as a team of four, and set a record of being unbeatable for a hundred consecutive days.
To this day, that record remained in Dreamcome's Sanctum.
The Four Divine Monarchs had their place.
Of course, DreamNet had its limitations. There were differences between the god-ranked pilots here and those in the real world.
The god-ranked pilots here were from Mecha World.
Their Disciplines could not be brought here.
In the real world, God-ranked pilots were the perfect combination of their Discipline, their mecha, and their power gems.
Even so, to be able to enter Dreamcome was the dream of every young pilot.
To them, this was the temple of the gods.
It had been a long time since Lan Jue had been here. Any other god-ranked pilot would have been demoted, but Lan Jue was different.
But he was different. There was no one in Dreamland who didn't know Zeus' name. There were at least three names on the Saint Hall's leaderboard, and all of them were in the top five.
The Sanctuary was a place for the god-ranked pilots to interact and learn from each other.
There was also a leaderboard for the god-ranked pilots.
This leaderboard was also made public in DreamNet.
It was widely circulated.
There were many leaderboards in the Sanctuary. For example, there were the Male God-Ranked Pilots, the Female God-Ranked Pilots, the Combined Combat Strength Leaderboard, the Personal Victories Leaderboard, and so on.
Of these, there were a few that were the most convincing, and the most attention-grabbing.
The Combined Combat Strength Leaderboard was the most important.
It reflected the strength of a god-ranked pilot in DreamNet.
Then there was the Hand Speed Leaderboard.
Mecha piloting was done through the brain and hands and feet. The higher the level of the mecha, the more controllable it was.
Because of this, a god-ranked pilot's hand speed was something the public paid close attention to.
When the average person saw the leaderboard, their first reaction was: inhuman!
There was also the God Team Ranking, which was the ranking of God Pilots. Generally speaking, a mecha team had at least five members, and for God Pilots to be able to form a team of five was already an incredible feat.
In truth, there were very few teams.
In all of Dreamcome, there were no more than three hundred god-ranked pilots. These were the best of the best in the three Major Leagues.
The reason Zeus was famous was because his name was on all three leaderboards.
First place on the God-Ranked Leaderboard belonged to the Four Divine Monarchs.
It was here that the Four Divine Monarchs first became famous. It was also here that they got their nicknames.
Then there was the Hand Speed leaderboard. Zeus's hand speed was number four. Hand speed was measured by how many times a mecha was pressed per second.
Zeus's number was eighty-seven.
In other words, he could maintain a maximum speed of eighty-seven times per second. This number had to be maintained for at least a minute to be recorded.
