"Liz, who gave you the courage to challenge me?"

"Just a grain of sand, not even half as good as me."

"You are courting death!"

Igula looked at the subtitle "The winner has been decided" on the screen and wrote on the handwriting board next to him: "5:2, I declare it Liz's--"

"Wait!" Ash grabbed the Trickster's trouser leg and pleaded, "Best of eleven, change it to best of eleven. Keep playing. I can turn the tables! I already know how to play. It's my turn next!"

Harvey, who was hiding by the window and smoking cat grass, couldn't help but say, "Ash, stop embarrassing yourself. You can't even beat a little girl..."

Ash said stubbornly, "I'm just not used to the game controller in this world, and this cushion is too soft, and Igula is always around to disturb me, so I--"

Igula felt so ashamed, and said to Panji beside him, "Although I have said it several times, I still want to say it - Ash is an exception, and you must not elevate personal behavior to the level of the country."

The butler boy, who always maintained a half-smile expression, could no longer control his expression at this moment, and his eyes were almost narrowed with laughter: "Mr. Ash, why don't you let me play a game with Liz, and you can see how I control this character..."

"No!"

Liz suddenly said loudly: "I will fight him, I will definitely beat him into submission!"

"Hmph, you'll soon pay the price for your arrogance!" Ash shouted wildly and quickly started the next round of magician duel.

While eating, for some reason, Liz suddenly proposed to fight with Ash.

Everyone felt a little strange, but didn't stop it. Banji even took the initiative to arrange a fighting method for them - that was the classic masterpiece "Magic Duel 14".

The Magician Duel series is a classic fighting game from Gospel Kingdom over the past thirty years. Players can control different legendary magicians to fight against each other.

Not only ordinary people love to play it, but even magicians are loyal users of this game - it can even be said that almost all combat magicians under the age of 30 in the Gospel Kingdom are influenced by this game, and many of them dream of having the same powerful strength as the characters in it, which has even affected the proportion of magicians in the entire Gospel Kingdom.

The most popular characters in the Magician Duel series are the 'Alchemist' and the 'Queen of the Earth'. The former can create mechanical statues with his bare hands in battle, summon thousands of swords, control water, fire, wind and thunder, and is proficient in all factions with the alchemist faction; the latter changes the terrain with every move, and her moves are extremely gorgeous. In addition, the Queen of the Earth is the most beautiful, so she naturally becomes the favorite of countless players.

Therefore, in the Gospel Kingdom, the Alchemy Faction and the Earth Magic Faction have the largest number of people. Of course, they will soon find out that they have been deceived - the Alchemy Faction is basically a creator magician in the Silver Realm, and is extremely lacking in combat means; the job prospects of the Earth Magic Faction are basically to join the engineering team, let alone the Queen, you can't even see a female cat when doing engineering work in the wilderness.

However, because there are so many magicians from these two factions that a demographic dividend has been formed, the urbanization of the Gospel Kingdom has been able to advance so rapidly in the past thirty years, and there is even enough manpower to build multi-story cities... Huh?

This is getting off topic. Ash and Liz are currently using "Magician Duel 14" to fight, but neither of them chose popular characters.

Liz uses the 'Time Witch'. Although it is called the Time Witch, in order to balance the strength, this character mostly uses throwing skills and close-range boxing. The impact is strong but the special effects are not gorgeous.

Ash uses the 'Wandering Swordmaster', and swordsmen are a minority in the Gospel Kingdom. Therefore, although the Wandering Swordmaster is quite strong, its combat effects are relatively poor, so naturally not many people play it.

Igula had no interest in this kind of fighting game. The reason he followed here was because of the pancake.

He secretly observed Panji and found that the young butler was very interested in the battle between Ash and the other man. In addition, Panji took the initiative to recommend this game, so he approached Panji and asked, "Do you like this game very much?"

"I don't really like it..." Banji rarely showed the shyness of a teenager: "I'm just a little happy."

"Why are you happy?"

“Because I put this game in my favorites folder of “I want to play it with my kids in the future”.”

Then why don’t you have children... Igula took a look at Panji’s seemingly underdeveloped young body and decided to keep this sad question in mind.

When you become enemies with Banji in the future, you can use this question to humiliate him.

But compared to Panji, Igula is more concerned about Liz now.

The white-haired little girl stared at the light screen very seriously, her little fingers rubbing the joystick and buttons skillfully. She became more and more proficient in various speculations, counterattacks, and defense-breaking skills, controlling the Time Witch to beat up the Wandering Swordsman.

Igula could see that this was her first time playing this game, and her operation in the first round was very rough, and she was suppressed by Ash, who had some competitive gaming ability.

But she improved rapidly in the second game, and Ash could only rely on repeating the Wandering Swordmaster's "defense-breaking skills" to force her to death. Then in the third game, she tried out how to counter various skills, and then she continued to crush Ash all the way.

Igula thought she would stop after winning one game, and then act cute to lose to Ash, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't give him any face at all. When Ash came up to ask for a fight, she just beat him hard.

Although people like Ash do deserve to be beaten severely, this does not fit Liz's style - she is the same type of person as Igula, and profit is the only purpose of her actions. There is no benefit in winning against Ash other than feeling good.

She had always been trying to be scheming, deliberately acting cute to please everyone. Although everyone could see that she was pretending, she was really too cute.

Apart from anything else, the reason why she was able to trick Ash into becoming her taunt follower so easily was 99% because she was a little white-haired loli, and only 1% was because of Ash's stupidity.

Just like men like green tea, women are addicted to scumbags, and fools love Igula. If the victim says that deep down in his heart he doesn't know what kind of person the other person is, that's definitely a lie. It's just that the other person provides an emotional experience that no one else can provide, so the victim doesn't want to think about it at all, and just hopes that this dream can last a little longer.

But Liz's current behavior is a bit "character-breaking": not only did she not give Ash face, she was very serious in the fight, and just now she seemed to call Ash by his name... Doesn't she want to continue using Ash as a shield? But even wet toilet paper has its value, so she wouldn't abandon Ash, a taunting follower, so quickly?

I don’t know if it’s because Liz defeated Ash or because she acted so realistically, but now Igula thinks she’s quite cute.

"The winner is decided!"

"It's 6:2. Ash, are you going to challenge the tenth losing streak?"

"I've given up six games, so it's time for me to show my true abilities..."

"As long as you are happy."

…

At 10 o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower, Diya fell exhausted on the bed in her pajamas. Unfortunately, her hair was very long and it took a while to blow it dry, so she couldn't go to bed right away.

But sleeping was not her job, it was Liz's job.

If Liz hadn't accidentally hit her head and passed out last night, she would have tried to explore the virtual world here a long time ago.

An Nan gave them enough freedom, and in reality, with Liz helping to sleep and cover for them, Diya was not afraid at all that others would discover that she was a two-winged magician - even in the high tower of the palace, Diya could still explore the virtual realm under the nose of the legendary sanctuary.

Diya sat in front of the mirror combing her hair and said, "You have to sleep well later, don't read, don't look for others, if anything happens, find a chance to enter the virtual realm and contact me."

Liz in the mirror pouted: "I also want to play a magician duel with my father..."

"His level is so poor, you might as well play with Banji."

"I just like to fight the weak! Isn't it fun to bully the weak? Banji looks very strong. I will definitely lose if I fight him. It's boring."

"Hey, you are so mean... Oh, it seems that Ash still has some points. Why don't you make a bet with him tomorrow and cheat all the points away from him?"

Suddenly, a familiar and frightening voice came from behind: "Witch, don't teach children to gamble. If you don't have a good opponent, why don't you play games with me next time?"

Diya turned her head sharply and there was no one behind her.

But when she turned back, she saw the man who made her hate and fear sitting behind Liz in the mirror!

Viewer!

"Good evening, witches." The viewer in the mirror crossed his arms and said lazily, "Are you having a good time today?"

"(＊^▽^＊) not happy!" Liz said 'fiercely': "Don't do this again tomorrow! Otherwise I will hate you!"

The viewer was angry and said, "Little witch, you are so rude. I will make sure that you have no time to study tomorrow and can only play to your heart's content—"

"Okay, you two." Diya looked speechless, looked at the viewer and asked, "I have completed your task, fought with Ash and defeated him, you won't even give me a little private time, right?"

"The battle I'm talking about is probably not that serious... But as long as you learn something, I don't mind." The spectator spread his hands: "You see, I'm actually quite easy to talk to."

Being easy to talk to, does that mean not giving me any choice, breaking into a girl's bedroom without asking in the middle of the night, and forcing a child to interrupt her studies to play games? If this is considered easy to talk to, then Ash, who is just reluctant to follow her orders, can be considered a father who truly loves her.

Diya complained in her heart, but suddenly remembered that the audience could hear her complaints, so she changed the subject: "What can I learn from playing games with Ash?"

"After experiencing the Time Witch's fighting style, don't you think you can apply it to your own fighting system?"

"It's just a game..." Diya stopped talking halfway, stood up thoughtfully, gestured twice on the open space, and her expression gradually became serious.

The viewer said leisurely: "There is a reason why the Magician Duel series has become the most popular game in Gospel Country and inspired countless people to become magicians."

Diya nodded excitedly: "You are right, I will go to the virtual world and try it out--"

"That's why I came to see you."

Diya was startled to see the viewer sitting on the windowsill, overlooking the bustling city below.

"Have you forgotten that the reason I played such a prank on you is because I need you to be my companion and explore the virtual world together."

"You just said you were playing a trick on me?"

"You heard me wrong. I meant to guide you." The viewer's tone did not change at all: "Since everyone is free tonight, let's officially start exploring the virtual world, right? But you have to wait a moment, we need to prepare."

Is it true?

Does he really want to invite me to explore the virtual world with them?

But the virtual world is not limited to one person...

Although Diya wanted to question the authenticity of this matter, the viewer's actions in the past two days undoubtedly proved that he was a man of his words - he told Liz to go play, and she couldn't stop for even a second; he told Diya to fight with Ash, and she couldn't take her hands off the controller until she finished the game.

There is no need for the viewer to tell lies that will be exposed in a moment.

Diya was silent for a moment: "Then what do you need me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything."

The viewer's figure gradually faded away, leaving only one sentence:

"Divine fate has connected you and me. We will soon meet in the virtual world."

…

On the other side, Ash, who had just finished taking a bath, was lying on the bed, holding a book and immersed in the ocean of knowledge. The name of the book was "The Complete Guide to the Magician Duel Series".

When Ash was imagining how he would use a combo to kill Liz tomorrow, his gospel book suddenly popped out by itself.

A red exclamation mark appeared in the upper right corner of the "My" column. Anyone with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder would want to click it, and then three messages appeared in it.

"The device binding and data transfer of Aurora's Magician's Handbook has been completed! Players can choose this device to log in to the game in the future. The resolution has been increased to ultra-high definition, and the operator portraits have added dynamic CG effects."

"Operator 'End Watcher's' soul health has been restored to 100%."

"Operator 'Death Frenzy Sword Princess' soul health has been restored to 100%."

Ash blinked.

What the hell? This game was automatically migrated to the new device "Gospel" without his knowledge, and dynamic CG was added?

This is not progress, it is evolution!

It has changed from a money-scam mobile game to... a more conscientious money-scam mobile game.

However, compared to the huge transformation of the game, Ash is more concerned about the following two pieces of information!

The souls were fully restored, which meant they could finally explore the virtual world tonight!

In other words…

We finally meet.
