48. Mandatory Cancellation

[Warning! Warning! The game system has been compromised!]

[Warning, warning! Player "Playing the Fool is Fun" is being forcibly stripped by an unknown force!]

The account of player "Playing around is fun" is being forcibly deleted!

[Forced account cancellation successful; the player's "just kidding" is no longer valid!]

[The leaderboard is incorrect; the player "Having fun being cheeky" does not exist!]

[Dungeon cache data error, player "having fun being cheeky" does not exist!]

[Earth 2.0 ownership error, player "having fun being cheeky" does not exist!]

...

The system warning kept popping up, and eventually it started reporting errors like it was infected with a virus, repeatedly saying that the player's "being silly is fun" did not exist.

Then, Pimin watched helplessly as the game panel, which had been flashing incessantly and accompanied by a warning sound, vanished in an instant.

"puff--"

The strange pulling sensation in the air grew stronger and stronger. At this moment, I felt as if I had been stuffed into a narrow tube, and I was so squeezed that I forced myself to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The blood was frothy and pink, clearly indicating that the unknown force had damaged her lungs.

Her vision blurred and became bloodshot as the painful pulling continued. In her last moments, she heard a man's heart-wrenching cry echo from the live stream: "No—"

The feeling before losing consciousness was so terrible that Pi Min thought he was going to die, but he never expected to wake up again.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a pink lace curtain hanging from the ceiling, followed by bedposts carved with intricate grapevine patterns and a fireplace with a warm fire burning.

If it weren't for the majestic bust of Queen Camille hanging above the fireplace, she would almost have thought she had entered some European retro-style game world.

It was clear that Her Majesty truly admired the European palace style; every furnishing in the room was magnificent and exquisite, inexplicably reminding her of the dollhouse she had meticulously decorated when she was a child.

As consciousness returned, Pi Min's first reaction was to try to bring up the game panel.

Unfortunately, the retrieval failed. There was no game panel, no chat with endlessly enthusiastic discussions about the game; the whole world was so quiet that she could even hear her own heartbeat.

She took a deep breath and subconsciously reached out to touch her chest, expecting to feel a dull pain in her lungs. However, to her surprise, the compression injury to her lungs had already healed.

She scrambled out of bed, her battle-ready captain's uniform from the Homeland gone, replaced by a European-style lace nightgown.

Even the plush slippers by the bed are trimmed with lace and adorned with small pearls, making them as exquisite as works of art.

She frowned, put on her soft, fluffy slippers with a complicated expression, and began to explore everything in the room.

The floor was covered with a thick carpet, which felt like walking on soft clouds. The doorknobs were gleaming gold, though it was hard to tell whether they were gilded or made of real gold.

Outside the door was a more exquisite and luxurious hall than the room, with not only a life-size oil painting of Her Majesty the Queen hanging on the walls, but also screenshots of her from the game.

Some are in the form of lop-eared rabbits, others are in human form. Some are staring blankly with nutrient solutions in their mouths, some are hitting a black and white cat with a wrench, some are laughing foolishly while hugging flowerpots, and one is even wielding a wood-chopping knife...

The photo wall in front of me is practically a museum of her dark history.

Just as she was so embarrassed that she was digging her toes into the ground, a chilling voice suddenly rang out in the air: "Oh dear, my little darling is awake. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"Someone, hurry up and serve the dishes!" Just by changing the person she was speaking to, Her Majesty the Empress's voice immediately returned to normal.

Then, the hall doors opened. Pimin watched in astonishment as a line of maids filed in carrying trays of food. The long table was quickly filled with all sorts of delicacies.

"My little darling, don't be shy, it's all yours, eat whatever you want." Her Majesty the Empress's voice rang out again, still that chilling, husky tone.

Looking around but not seeing Her Majesty the girl, Pi Min guessed that the other party must be communicating with her through some kind of monitoring system.

"What are you standing there for? Eat! These are all carefully prepared by me according to recipes from Earth. All the ingredients come from Earth and are pure, safe and pollution-free."

Although, but...

I'm so hungry.

Pi Min had no penchant for self-torture; she simply picked up a bowl of beef noodles from a nearby table and began to eat heartily. After finishing, she broke off a roasted chicken leg as a snack and drank a large glass of apple juice to fill the gaps in her stomach.

After eating and drinking her fill, she subconsciously got up, preparing to go for a walk to digest her food. Realizing her current predicament, she was mentally prepared to open the door only to find a wall outside.

However, to her surprise, when the door opened, she found herself in a garden.

It's another unappealing European style, rigid and boring, with all the plants pruned into fixed shapes. But its sheer size is undeniable!

In the face of blue skies, white clouds, and endless lawns, differences in aesthetic taste are simply not a problem.

She rushed outside almost immediately, and when the warm sunlight shone on her, she was so moved she almost cried. She couldn't remember the last time she had been in the sun.

She was transported to a dungeon, and after being pulled into the game, she was trapped in a house and couldn't get out. She finally obtained a planet, but because of the huge amount of oxygen, she could only wear a spacesuit. She had almost forgotten what it felt like to have sunlight on her skin.

"Hey, cutie, you're still wearing your pajamas."

By this time, Pimin, having kicked off her fluffy slippers, was excitedly rolling around on the lawn in the garden. Even the grass seemed real, its scent mingling with the fragrance of earth, refreshing and invigorating. She rolled and rolled, her hands and feet constantly drawing circles on the grass, unable to stop for a long time.

Seeing her expression of enjoyment, a certain murmur in the air paused for a moment before turning into a doting laugh.

"Fine, whatever you like..."

"You like it, right? This is an Earth-like planet that Mommy specially customized based on Earth's environment. It was originally intended to house all of humanity. Now it all belongs to you. Mommy also customized a bunny flying vehicle for you, so you can go wherever you want without worrying about getting lost."

As the clip's voice faded, a flying vehicle shaped like a lop-eared rabbit slowly descended onto the lawn. The rabbit opened its mouth and stuck out its staircase-shaped tongue at Pimin, looking anything but cute; rather, it had a somewhat grotesque appearance.

Since the other party had extended a sincere invitation, Pi Min didn't mind going for a stroll outside.

As expected of an advanced civilization, when she settled into the cockpit, the originally opaque cabin wall suddenly became completely transparent, providing a 360-degree unobstructed view. The sky, clouds, birds, and everything else were instantly within reach.

This thing is probably brainwave driven. Wherever Pimin wants to go, she just needs to think about it in her mind, and the aircraft will carry her to the place she wants to go.

Although she was the only person on this planet, she wasn't too lonely traveling around in her spaceship every day.

The only annoyance is the ever-present harassment from a certain Emperor Jiaziyin.

She was eating.

"She ate it, she ate it, she looks so cute eating it!"

She was drinking water.

"The little cutie is drinking water, ahhh, so cute!"

When she went to the toilet.

"Aww, Mommy's little cutie, even pooping is so cute!"

When Pi Min first heard this voice, he covered his face with his hands and was stunned for a long time.

Help! Are you really treating her like a cat?

She suddenly understood the shocked look in the sheriff's eyes when she peeked at him using the restroom. Indeed, all the foolish things a person does will one day come back to haunt them like boomerangs.

Not only did she peep alone, Her Majesty the Queen would even boast to fellow enthusiasts.

One day, Pimin even heard the voice of Princess Orianna, the third princess of the planet Octo. She still remembers how shocked she was when she received the princess's pet adoption application in the game.

"Ahhhh... It really is her! Kidnapping instead of buying, Her Majesty the Empress is truly mighty!" It was clear that this princess really liked humans; her voice trembled as she spoke, "I...I...can I touch it?"

"No! You can only look, not touch!"

Although outsiders are strictly forbidden from touching her pets, Her Majesty the Queen herself has touched them quite often.

She would often climb into Pi Min's bed in the middle of the night while she was asleep and grope her. If it weren't for the fact that she only kissed, hugged, and touched her without ever going any further, Pi Min would almost think that she had fallen into some kind of domineering empress's forced love drama.

Whenever he has a soft, fragrant body in his arms and looks at that beautiful face that is so captivating that he can't take his eyes off her, Pi Min can't help but fall into a dilemma about who is at a greater disadvantage.

Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress was impersonating a woman like herself; otherwise, she would have had a hard time explaining why she had to sleep with her like this every day.

Perhaps thinking that she, a mere human, couldn't cause any trouble, Her Majesty the Queen didn't forbid her from contacting the outside world, and even applied for a universal account for her as her pet.

Pi Min tried it and successfully joined the Cosmic Drifting game as a viewer. As the most popular game stream in the entire universe, this game has countless sections, and the Earth section is just a small part of it.

Her Majesty the Queen successfully deleted her account, and the account "Playing a Little Fun" is no longer on the player leaderboard. Thanks to the game system's self-repair function, the top spot on the leaderboard is now vacant, and the "All Players" section in Earth 2.0 is also empty. The Earth section has become the only section in the Cosmic Drift game that starts ranking from second place.

After experiencing that nightmarish special instance, the players actually began to feel that life in the game wasn't so bad after all, and they started to enjoy their game life.

After the initial elimination rounds, only the elite of humanity survive. As the mortality rate begins to decline, the game does indeed become less terrifying.

The number of viewers in the Earth section peaked the moment Queen Kami captured the top-ranked player, then began to decline steadily as the player death rate decreased, never to return to its former glory. However, the players clearly no longer cared; compared to the terrifying scenes inside the special dungeon, everything before them was just a piece of cake.

Queen Camille also attempted to create a special instance of herself to change the perceptions of all humanity. Unfortunately, the game developers had a contingency plan, and the special instance was torn to shreds by the game's defense system before it could even be opened.

The players continued playing the game, while Pimin, whose account had been deleted, lived as the pet of Her Majesty the Empress of the Thetian Empire on a terrestrial planet near the imperial capital.

Days passed by like this.

Until one day, a little mouse suddenly slipped into the castle where she lived.

"How did you get here?" She stared at the man in front of her, who was covered in plastic wrap and wrapped up like food, and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

The man tore off the plastic wrap that was obscuring her vision and gave her a bright smile: "Not long after you were captured, a small planet belonging to the Zerg faction in the Cosmic Alliance suddenly sent a trade request to Earth, asking for a stable supply of fresh Earth food."

Noticing a strange label on the plastic wrap, Pi Min reached out and tore it off. Upon closer inspection, she burst into laughter, unable to contain her joy.

"Originating from Earth, but a pork tenderloin awaiting slaughter?!"

"Pfft, hahahahaha—"

No wonder he was able to sneak in. Who would monitor the whereabouts of ingredients in real time? Besides, aliens really lack understanding of Earth. Who would put clothes on a piece of pork tenderloin waiting to be slaughtered?

After laughing, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. When she came to her senses, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Since they accept that "clothed" pork tenderloin exists, does that mean they actually eat "clothed" pork tenderloin?!

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously gasped.

This is not good news.

"Now is not the time to dwell on this. The supply ship is about to take off, so come with me!"

The man grabbed Pi Min's hand and tried to pull her away. Unfortunately, Pi Min forcefully shook him off.

He turned around in surprise and met Pi Min's cold face.

The girl in the lace nightgown, expressionless, said, slowly and deliberately, "What if I say no?"
