Su Yue looked bewildered. He was still immersed in the battlefield filled with gunfire and smoke; he was still immersed in Europa's terrifying magic, and he was about to occupy the northern fortress of the Dwarf Empire, confront other lords head-on, and invade other people's territories.
The thrill of gaining a second lord's base and then appointing Huntington as the second lord.
Su Yue was enjoying cannons, smoke, fire, killing, war and death.
As a result, he suddenly fell into a coma.
I woke up to find myself in a rain-soaked city under the cover of night.
He stood up in surprise, looking around at the gray mattresses, tables, chairs, and benches.
A long-lost sense of familiarity arose.
This feeling is like suddenly stepping out of university and into society, and suddenly returning to the home of your childhood... Every item here can evoke Su Yue's memories of the past.
"Instant noodles... I used to eat them with ham sausage all the time; they were a must-have for staying up all night in internet cafes..."
"I bought these curtains online with my classmates..."
"When I traveled back to the early days of the Turin world, I was a very poor person. Fortunately, the Turin world did not have the mutual influence between the two worlds, so there would be no situation where a super-rich person would use resources from the real world to influence the Turin world or affect the exchange of currency in the Turin world."
Su Yue stood up and stood by the window, thinking that his first reaction should be to check the reactions of the other players in the Turin world.
Holy crap!
Before Su Yue's window was even opened, not even a crack was made, the sounds of commotion could be heard from Dulin City in the night (Chapter 1, The Rain in Dulin City).
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
"What's going on? Was being a lord in the Turin world all an illusion? Was it just a hallucination?"
"I... I was fighting a horde (many): level 50-99 goblin lords, how did I suddenly travel back in time?"
"You too? We're back? Why are we back?"
"Ahhh, this is great! This is great! I can't stand the sight of that Su Yue in the Turin world constantly dominating the server broadcast! Why does he have to be the only one at the top of the leaderboard?"
"Shut up, Su Yue is a top player in our country. So many top players from abroad have been suppressed by Su Yue alone. He is a national hero."
"Blind date, blind date, the undead lord of the Turin world longs for a blind date! My body, my body is back! I'm back..."
"Isn't it rumored that high-ranking undead can regain their physical bodies? Your strength is too weak."
"Shut up, where...where in the material plane are you developing?"
Because the lords' strength was quite ordinary in the world of Turin, there wasn't much of a barrier between them when they communicated, and no so-called class distinctions arose.
Su Yue suddenly realized that his vision and hearing had become extremely distant!
He used to stand vaguely at the door of the rented room, not to mention in the misty rain.
Even without rain, he could only see the stadium and shopping street in the distance.
As for anything further away, beyond that, he could barely make out the details.
But at this moment.
His gaze, like that of an eagle, swept across a distance of 40 kilometers, 50 kilometers, and the viewing distance continued to extend.
He raised his arm in surprise...
"Holy crap!!"
"My God, why do I still look like an orc?"
"No, something's not right. My body... still seems so weak."
Upon hearing the contradictory voices, Su Yue was astonished to find that in the world of Turin, he had become the White Horse Canaan Lord's habitual vision (farsightedness), as well as muscle strength, and even his appearance had changed.
He immediately ran towards the restroom.
He heard no car horns or people talking outside. He went to the washroom and turned on the sink.
"The water hasn't stopped... everything is normal?"
"Time: July 20th..."
Su Yue washed her face, then slowly raised her head and looked in the mirror.
"!!!"
"He's gotten so much more handsome?"
In the world of Turin, Su Yue's image is that of someone with black hair and black eyes, exuding a handsome aura and an air of "holiness," "great ruler," and "majesty." In the real world, however, he seems to have lost the aura of his past glory, undergoing a subtle and nuanced change, but without a doubt.
He looks like he's had plastic surgery; his appearance is now extremely perfect, with very clear and strong features...
He picked up the glass containing the toothbrush and toothpaste.
"Snap!"
The glass shattered instantly in Su Yue's hand, the glass shards breaking apart, but Su Yue's arm remained completely unharmed...
The television is turned on on the worn-out secondhand sofa...
Turn on the phone.
"Su Yue... what are you doing?"
"..."
A college classmate named Zhou Wen said, "Everyone is awake. It feels like a nightmare. Now everyone in the class, including the doctoral supervisors, is calling us to gather together."
"Gather? What for?"
"Of course, it's about discussing matters in the Turin world, and the country has also urgently issued a red 'special project disaster' warning."
"And didn't you know? The outside is shrouded in thick fog?"
"Thick fog?"
Su Yue saw no sign of thick fog in the distance, which might be related to the fact that he lived on the outskirts of the city... Since Zhou Wen had come to find him, he planned to go there to learn more about the recovery.
Is it possible to return to the world of Turin now?
Whether or not the lord's activities and plans can continue is unknown to Su Yue... because everything is shrouded in uncertainty.
His Europa, Kingslinger, Abraham, and the northern dwarven fortress awaited his conquest as the Iron-Blooded Lord... and just as he reached a crucial juncture, he withdrew.
This made Su Yue feel a little bit of a headache—a slight headache.
"Just as we were getting to the crucial point, the story was about to reach its climax, but it was cut off."
"..."
Su Yue hung up the phone. In his previous life, he had only a so-so relationship with Zhou Wen and they didn't have much contact. The fact that he lived in such a dilapidated rental in college meant that he didn't have a good relationship with his roommate.
To put it bluntly, he's just a completely marginalized, passerby character.
He walked outside.
I noticed a long-haired, artsy young man standing at the doorway, head down, walking towards the outside.
He looked up at Su Yue, then walked down the stairs.
The dilapidated rental apartment didn't even have an elevator.
Su Yue remained calm, his right hand in his jeans pocket, and walked downstairs.
Just then.
Suddenly, the long-haired, artsy young man pulled out a small knife and rushed towards Su Yue...
"?"
"Attack me?"
If it were Su Yue before he traveled back in time, he might be nervous; but what was he doing before he traveled back in time? He was on the front line of the battlefield between Canaan and the northern fortress of the dwarves in the world of Turin... that battlefield was a meat grinder among meat grinders.
In the short time since the start of the battle, Su Yue's forces had lost over 1,000 Legions, and the corpses of the dwarves piled up like small mountains at the city gates...
He had even seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield.
As a lord, warlord, or even the highest-ranking military officer, ruthlessness is an essential quality, and also one of the least noticeable qualities in Su Yue.
Seeing him rushing towards her with a dagger, Su Yue didn't even feel a ripple of emotion.
Aren't you going to dodge?
The disheveled, long-haired youth stared in astonishment at the dagger resting against Su Yue's chest.
Su Yue ignored him and continued walking down the stairs.
There were already quite a few people in the stairwell.
He noticed someone was frantically banging on the door, but no one answered. There was another person inside, weeping bitterly, crying, "Dad, Mom, how...how could you die like this?!"
In the world of Turin, dying more than three times results in immediate disqualification from the game, which essentially means death. Where would these uncles and aunts have ever encountered this kind of lord game?
Once inside, I didn't know the rules, and I don't usually browse forums to get information... So, it's quite reasonable that someone died.
"...Is someone dead?"
A voice came from behind him, beside his ear, and at the back of his head, "Hey, what race are you?"
"Human race".
Su Yue was too lazy to waste words with this stranger. He said, "My name is Guo Shi, a dwarf player with the Assassin class talent. I just used you to test my assassination skills."
"Okay, I understand."
Aren't you curious?
"What?"
"Why did we suddenly return to reality from our lordly status in the world of Turin?"
Su Yue smiled.
Guo Shi sensed a unique aura and presence from Su Yue's eyes and demeanor, a quality and presence characteristic of a strong person and an "aristocrat"... He wondered if it was due to Su Yue's frequent contact with Countess Joanna, or the influence of his high position in the Turin world and his "S-rank profession as a Divine Lord," or perhaps a combination of all three that had fused into his aura...
In particular, the unwavering reaction in the face of a dagger and attack made Guo Shi feel that the young man in front of him had an extraordinary temperament.
Are you a college student?
Su Yue had no intention of getting entangled with him. Now that he wanted to know more, he didn't necessarily have to meet up with that group of college students, but he at least planned to go outside and check out places with crowds, such as coffee shops, Starbucks, Ruixing Coffee, and shopping malls.
Guo Shi looked at Su Yue's retreating figure with a puzzled expression: "Strange... Is this man really that cold-hearted?"
Downstairs, a supercar appeared outside the dilapidated rental house... The appearance of this supercar was quite unexpected. A beautiful woman wearing sunglasses said, "Little brother, get in the car."
"..."
To everyone's surprise, the dejected young man looked at the beautiful woman in Givenchy sunglasses and high heels with a sinister expression... She was wearing a low-cut dress with black crepe ribbons and pleated cuffs, her thighs were incredibly white... and very long and slender, very eye-catching.
Unfortunately, Turin has just recovered from its nightmare, and many people are exchanging information about their lords and players, so no one is paying much attention to her. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, her appearance and the gimmick of her sports car and the sound of its engine would definitely attract a lot of envious glances.
"So much time has passed in Turin, and you still refuse to acknowledge me?"
Eliz looked at her only younger brother, Guo Shi.
"..."
Guo Shi took her mother's surname, while Ai Li Shi took her father's surname. They both came from ordinary families, but the older sister became a famous socialite in China because of her excessive material desires and vanity.
Posting photos on social media all day long, flirting with rich people...
He loathed this older sister, so he preferred to live in a rented apartment rather than accept any financial assistance from her... Now, looking at her stunningly beautiful face, driving a supercar, carrying a Hermes bag, and walking in high heels, he felt even more disgusted.
"...I don't have a sister like you."
The world of Turin has just begun to recover, and everyone is communicating with each other.
"We're family! The Turin world has already been hit by a crisis, and we almost never saw each other again. You ignore me in the game, and you're ignoring me in real life too?"
"You bitch, you slut..."
Eliza looked incredibly sad... "I've reformed, I've found someone I love..."
"Does he like you? You're just trying to fool me with that same old excuse! What else can you do besides seducing men to spend money on you and flirting with them all day?"
A long-haired, disheveled young man just left on a whim...
Elisa watched him leave in a daze—the sports car…the luxury watches, the extravagant lifestyle, the Black Pearl restaurant, and the so-called glamorous life. It was a broken family, the longing and yearning of the poor for the life of the prominent, the envy and jealousy, the satisfaction of vanity.
Even if she becomes a goddess sought after by young men from all walks of life in various gaming clubs... what does it matter if she is not recognized by her own younger brother?
Behind her, isn't there still just ruins?
What made her feel even worse was...
It wasn't just her brother's accusations and dislike for her, but also his previous question: "You like him, but does he like you?"
Yes, does Su Yue like me?
Can we go back to the Turin world?
Where is he?
Elizabeth didn't notice that a man with his right hand in his pocket walked in the shadows, quietly observed the sports car for a while, confirmed the woman's identity, wrote his phone number on a piece of white card, and then quietly walked towards her and placed it in her car.
These actions all took place in the shadows and in scenes where no one could see them.
It was as if he didn't exist.
"Hidden"...
"My agility is over 30..."
"It's working."
Su Yue looked up at Du Linshi's drizzling rain and decided not to get involved in their mess at the university... He just wanted to find a coffee shop and sit quietly for a while.
He didn't even want to continue using the notes to seduce Elie's emotions.
I'm too lazy to pretend to be weak to take advantage of others.
He didn't want to do anything unnecessary, feeling utterly listless. Without the dwarven northern fortress; the empire's civil war; the elves' monopoly on the sea; without the future Heaven's accountability for Europe; without the Holy See's fear and coercion of attacking him, the "heretic" great demon cult leader; and without any way to land in the world of Turin; everything about him became languid.
There was a lack of motivation and that sense of urgency and enthusiasm.
It was as if the real world had been abandoned by him, or had abandoned him; or perhaps he had entered a state of "loneliness".
The lord's side is a core symbol that integrates "territory", "war", "heroic subordinates", "mobilization" and "territory development", but what about now?
He was all alone again...
Lonely……
A near-desperate loneliness enveloped his nerves, making him lose interest in everything. In this state, he gently held the white card in his palm, put it in his pocket, and then opened the door of Eli's Ferrari SF90.
"?"
"What are you doing?"
Eliz was immersed in the sadness of her younger brother's lack of understanding and his malice and rejection towards her, but instead, a graceful and alluring indifference and self-mockery appeared on her face.
Her devastatingly beautiful face, exuding an aura of oppression and the cold, glamorous pressure unique to beautiful goddesses, turned towards the man sitting in the seat behind her.
Faced with such questioning, an ordinary man would probably start stammering, unsure of what to say or even apologize; or he might go to the other extreme and start flirting with her.
At this point, whether you're talking about the first type of person being overwhelmed by her aura, or the second type being attracted by her charm and trying to forcefully gain her approval through their performance, it's a situation she's very good at handling.
But it was during this time of imagination and contemplation that she began to do so.
"drive……"
"!!!"
A familiar, captivating, and aloof male voice—the voice of the man she could never forget, the man she adored—came through her… Elisa seemed to shudder, staring at him in disbelief… A soft, alluring, and incredibly mature female voice followed:
"husband?"
"!!!"
Guo Shiben had already left, but seeing his sister being harassed by a man, he instinctively wanted to help her out of her predicament. However, when he turned back...
Elie, who was stunningly beautiful and regarded as a vixen and socialite since childhood, and who seduced countless top men as backup options... actually blurted out "husband"?
"It was him?"
"That young man next door?"
"When...when did he become my sister's husband?"
"???"
At this moment, only one conclusion came to his mind: they met in the game... He had no idea what his sister Elis had encountered, met, or had met in the game.
At this moment, looking at the young man wearing a faded, washed-out shirt from a street stall, sitting in the passenger seat, his stunningly beautiful sister Elisa gently turned her head and took the initiative to kiss his cheek!
Her curves and arcs were incredibly exaggerated...
It can be called the golden ratio...
"Buzz".
The supercar roared to life... Guo Shi's worldview was shattered... He was on the verge of a breakdown. The woman who had cared for her older sister since childhood had been turned into a slut who served men for a living.
The protagonist of a La Dame aux Camélias is a woman in the Marguerite style.
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
“He had no money, otherwise he wouldn’t be living in a rented room… When I tried to assassinate him, he was extremely indifferent and calm, as if he wasn’t the one being killed.”
"Through these events, we can only draw one conclusion—he is very powerful in the Turin world! He is at the level of a top global expert, otherwise Elisa would not need to rely on him?"
Guo Shi's thinking is mostly correct.
But he didn't know that.
Her sister had already given herself to him and even regarded him as true love... This undoubtedly created a very exaggerated shock to Guo Shi's worldview.
