Chapter 263 Main Story
At dawn.
A group of people stood at the city gate.
The grey robe blended into the dark color, and the scattered golden hair under the wide brim of the hat was blown by the wind.
"Just send it here."
Lian Na turned around and said. Her eyes fell on Lu Yi in front of her. Even though his face was covered, leaving only a pair of similar blue eyes exposed, she still stared closely at this most unfamiliar and familiar face.
Lulton also said: "Brother, you should go back soon. You haven't had a good rest these days, right?"
"I'm fine." Lu Yi shook his head.
The new king's ascension to the throne was accompanied by a series of extremely trivial matters. Although most of them only required Lu Yi's review, the combination of these matters made it so that he had little rest in the past two days.
Fortunately, Lu Yi's physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, and just two or three hours of sleep can keep him energetic for the whole day.
After two days of working day and night, not only were the government affairs properly handled, Lu Yi also sorted out the messy mood caused by the departure of the two people.
So when they finally said goodbye in front of the city gate, Lu Yi could still reveal a relaxed and perfect smile.
Although he realized the next second that under the complete cover of the hood and face mask, no one could tell whether his smile was forced.
"Whenever something happens and we are needed, let Sairen send a message and we will come back." Lianna said.
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "With me in New Victory, nothing will go wrong."
[Your mother is also a tsundere.] 857 imitated Lian Na and said, [Whenever you need us~tsk tsk tsk, if you care, you should speak loudly!]
The voice of 857 suddenly sounded, and Lu Yi blinked subconsciously.
【“857?!”】
On the day of his succession, the system briefly reappeared. But after the system prompt sounded, there was no follow-up, until today, when 857's voice sounded in his ears again.
Such familiar and friendly complaints made Lu Yi dazed for a moment, and he felt as if he was in another world, and then he was filled with joy of meeting an old friend again.
857 was equally excited, and the joy that it had just suppressed was fully revealed in its high-pitched mechanical tone.
[61! Lu Yi!! Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Yi——I’m finally back! I haven’t seen you for so long, I missed you so much! Do you miss me too? You must miss me too!!]
Lu Yi separated a soul body and materialized it in his spiritual sea of consciousness. He coughed twice and said, "It would be strange if I didn't think about it, right?"
Lu Yi couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and after he finished speaking, he reached out and ruthlessly ravaged the small ball of light that was jumping around him.
Lightball 857 lay down obediently and let him knead her. Maybe it was because they had not seen each other for too long, this kind of ravage made 857 feel indescribable peace of mind and comfort.
[Stupid host and mom are indeed mother and son, they are so alike, the more they care, the more they can't speak, they are both so awkward! ]
[“What are you talking about, 857? You start making up stories about your host as soon as they meet?”] Lu Yi’s men used a little more strength.
857 immediately twisted under his palm, groaning: [Don't admit it! I knew that although my hair has grown longer, my height has grown, my eyes have become brighter, my magic level has greatly improved, and I even have more godhead fragments and god inheritances - but! Lu Yi, your...]
[“But what but? There is no but!”] Lu Yi interrupted in advance.
[Hehe, if you care about something, you should say it loudly, otherwise you won’t be able to say it later…]
"...I believe in your strength, Lu Yi, but...this is such a contradictory thing. I hope you can become stronger and stronger, so strong that no one can hurt you, but sometimes I hope you can become stronger more slowly..."
Don't leave all your companions behind without realizing it, until you are left alone.
Lian Na looked at Lu Yi with a complicated expression, her bright and affectionate blue eyes showing feelings of both heartache and worry.
Lu Yi seemed to be burned by her concerned gaze and subconsciously looked away, his thick and long eyelashes also hiding his emotions.
857 didn't say anything and gave them the short time they had now, but Lu Yi couldn't help but recall what it had just said.
"If you care about someone, you should speak loudly, otherwise you won't be able to say it later."
Many figures suddenly appeared in his mind, many partings and reunions, and many farewells that inadvertently became permanent farewells. Most people's lives are not long, and various accidents may put them to death. Every reunion is worth celebrating, and every farewell should be grand.
If you blindly immerse yourself in the past and emotions, you will only torture yourself and even miss the present. People do not live in the past or the future, but in the present - the present that is passing by every moment.
"...I have told you before about those great nobles in Xinshengli. You should use what you should use and suppress what you should suppress. You are the new king, but the honor you gained from fighting on the battlefield will still follow you..."
Lena was still nagging and giving instructions.
This mother who decided to leave seemed to be eager to teach all the experience she had gained in the royal family to her child who inherited the throne. She had done so in the past two days, and she was still doing so as she said goodbye.
Lu Yi suddenly asked: "If nothing happened, can you still send a message?"
Lena was stunned.
They were equally sensitive, so she could hear Lu Yi's tiny and almost timid intimacy under this extremely simple question.
It was this little bit of intimacy that almost broke Lena down. Her eyes were sore, her chest ached, and her heart was filled with half joy and half sadness.
Lena had no way to justify her behavior. Even though Lulton, who was completely unfamiliar with the mermaids, needed her more, the new king Lu Yi also faced countless difficulties and challenges.
As fate would have it, she had handed in an answer sheet carelessly, but the examiner gave her full marks.
No one can do better than Lu Yi.
There is no one better than Lu Yi.
"Of course, of course!" Lena said solemnly, "Can we also send a message back when we miss you?"
Lu Yi replied in a low voice: "Of course... No need to send any message, just come back directly, this will always be your home."
-
Lu Yi watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
[It’s dawn, Lu Yi!] 857.
Lu Yi hummed softly.
Ares, who was standing beside him, lowered his eyes and looked at him, then silently held Lu Yi's hand.
…
That night.
Lu Yi coldly rejected the request of his personal guard Ares to sleep with him, and lay alone on the luxurious bed of 80 square feet in the bedroom.
857 was still chattering in his ear, so excited that he seemed to want to finish what he had not said for a long time.
It took Lu Yi less than half a night to go from answering every question at the beginning to ignoring them now.
857 didn't care at all and said confidently: "I call this alignment granularity!"
Although the system was in hibernation, the background logs still silently and faithfully recorded everything that had happened. 857 was synchronizing the background logs while commenting on them seriously.
[Well, it’s still within my expectations…]
[Bah! I knew Callisto was not a good person! ]
【……】
With 857's complaints playing in the background, Lu Yi stood up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked through the system background that had lit up again.
The character panel of the latest version was exceptionally concise. The attributes that had once been quantified, such as agility, strength, and beauty, had disappeared, and the nouns that replaced them made him silent.
【Name: Lu Yi】
【Gender: Male】
[Race: Human-merman hybrid/demigod]
[Identity: King of the New Victory Empire]
[Scope of influence: New Victory Empire]
[Godhead: The godhead of the dark god who controls darkness and night (not equipped), the broken fragment of the godhead of the light god who controls hope and dawn (3/5) (not equipped)]
[God’s Position: (None)]
【Current main task (optional):
Lead the New Victory Empire to the pinnacle (unselected) / Become the first god after Ragnarok (unselected)]
Lu Yi looked at the backpack with only the tentacles left, took a deep breath and asked: [“857, where are my items and points?”]
He has so many props and so many points!
The 857 light ball froze instantly, and was quickly caught by Lu Yi just one second before it retracted into the system space.
[“I need an explanation. And I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time, what does official launch mean?”]
Lu Yi was very sure that he had not heard it wrongly. The system prompt said: "At this moment, I am the king." The system was officially started.
So they weren't even considered official versions before?
857's eyes wandered. [Well, how should I put it? This is a very complicated question. If I want to explain it, I have to start from when Pangu created the world, or when the Lord God created space. The history of the system, the definition of the system, the nature of the system, the meaning of the system...]
【“Let’s get to the point.”】
[I can't come back!] 857 said immediately, [As the name suggests, my King System is actually a system to assist players in becoming kings. Everything in the system space before is for players to smoothly develop their own power and become kings, or even gods.]
[61 You can think of the original system as a pre-release version, and then move on to the real main line after you become the real king.]
Lu Yi was calm after hearing this. He said, "Does this conflict with my points and items?"
857 smiled guiltily: [How can it not be considered a conflict? The system has been fully optimized, so it is normal that things in version 1.0beta are not compatible with version 2.0...]
[“Then why didn’t I optimize you as well?”] Lu Yi squeezed the small ball of light in his hand mercilessly.
[What?! Lu Yi, you wanted me to be optimized by the system as well?] 857 was horrified, and then looked at Lu Yi with resentment.
[This is so sad! In this update, I wanted to take back everything that belongs to me, but who knew that the host with a heart as hard as stone would actually——]
[“Stop kidding. Optimization is optimization, but I’ve never seen a game where all props disappeared after an update. Do you think this is a deleted file test server? If you’re so awesome, why don’t you teleport me back to the first day the system appeared?”]
857 saw that he couldn't fool anyone anymore, so he sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. The system isn't omnipotent. This upgrade has almost consumed all the energy... I'll go find the main system and see if I can get some compensation."
Again? Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking that 857 still had some conscience.
[“What about the main quest?”] Lu Yi turned his gaze back to the optional quests on the panel and his expression became serious.
[That's exactly what it means.] 857 also replied seriously, [Lu Yi, you can regard all the tasks that have appeared before as various side quests. The real main line of my King System from beginning to end is only one, and that is to become the King.]
[Whether he is the king of men or the king of gods. ]
【The world will continue to exist in your name. 】
The author has something to say:
[Burst into tears] As expected, I did have an accident.
What did Bing do during the half month he disappeared? - Going to interviews
I was kicked out by my family to look for a job after less than a month of gap qaq
I felt groggy throughout May Day. I don't know if it was a cold or Yang. My throat hurt so much that I couldn't speak and I had a headache.
It's even more painful to think that I have to go back to work right after May Day [burst into tears]
I will try to have the energy and time to update [burst into tears]
