Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

Chapter 975 Side Story: Reunion with [Emptiness] and [White] (Part 2)

"Those two guys from the Blank are definitely not ordinary people. They actually managed to chase after us from another world..." Su Muqiu sighed and obediently leaned on Li Wen's shoulder.

"Mmm." Li Wen nodded and sat in the waiting area on the first floor, waiting for the blank space to arrive.

Li Wen and Su Muqiu have been traveling, but the one with the deepest bond is probably the two siblings who have never met in person.

Before this, Li Wen had only traveled around to compete with Su Muqiu. They had friends and strangers who were friendly to them, but the time they spent together was too short.

Only the two siblings, Kong and his sister, spent about three years together.

It can be said that besides Su Muqiu, the two siblings are probably the ones who have made the greatest contribution to Li Wen's current strength.

Besides dueling, they also exchanged gifts, ran dungeons together, complained about new anime series, and even made plans to meet offline for Christmas.

Unfortunately, before that, Su Muqiu and Li Wen were forcibly transported to the next world...

Li Wen was a little distracted, but soon the two people outside the door caught his attention.

No, it should be said that whenever those two appear, they invariably attract the attention of others.

A tall, handsome boy with a unique charm.

Exquisite and beautiful, well-behaved and cute, a girl who quietly stays by the boy's side.

Li Wen stood up: "Empty, white?"

"Oh, Li Wen?" Kong smiled happily: "It's great to finally meet you all."

"Yo!" Bai raised her hand, her face still blank, as if to greet him, her eyes shining as she looked at the doll on Li Wen's shoulder: "Xiao Wen, can I see that?"

"Ah, of course." Li Wen smiled and handed the artificial body to Bai.

Kong looked around and asked, "Where's that guy Su Muqiu? Why isn't he coming out to greet me?"

"The one being held in Bai's arms..."

Kong burst forth with unprecedented speed, swiftly snatching Regret from Bai's hands and tossing it onto the sofa. Then, he pressed Su Muqiu firmly down onto the sofa, exclaiming, "You little brat, trying to take advantage of my sister?!"

"You fucking asked me to hug you for free!"

Li Wen and Bai exchanged a glance and laughed.

Su Muqiu and Kong have never gotten along well. Even when they are in a four-person PVE team, the two can still argue, and then they start arguing and eventually fight in the wild.

Even so, they can easily solve any problem.

only……

The others had strange expressions. That boy who was so elegant just now was now fighting with Captain Li's doll?
Isn't this a bit...

“Um…” A strange voice rang out. Li Wen was startled and turned his head to look. Chu Xue, who had just finished dressing up, was holding Li Wen's hand and looking in their direction: “Xiao Wen? These two are…”

"Sister Xue, these two are the friends I was talking about!" Li Wen introduced with a smile: "That one over there is Brother Kong, and this is Brother Kong's sister, Sister Bai..."

"It's my older sister, my older sister!" Bai corrected earnestly.

Li Xue looked at the girl who was a little taller than her but looked about the same age as Sister Xiaolu with a puzzled expression. She then looked up at her father, clearly not understanding what was going on.

"This is my wife, Chu Xue, and this is my daughter, Li Xue," Li Wen said with a smile.

"Your sister-in-law is very beautiful, and your little niece is adorable too," Bai said earnestly. "You're so lucky, Xiao Wen!"

"Yes!" Li Wen nodded with a smile. He might have been modest about other things, but he wanted to proudly introduce his own treasure to all his friends.

Chu Xue smiled and extended her hand to shake Bai's: "Hello, if you don't mind, please come to my office for a while. And that... Mr. Kong?"

……

"Little Wen, you're really lucky!" Kong laughed heartily.

"So, Brother Kong, you and Bai are getting ready..."

"Pfft, cough cough cough cough..." Kong coughed while drinking water, glancing guiltily at Bai: "Um..."

Chu Xue's eyes widened slightly. These two people were... Germans?

“Brother Kong and Sister Bai… are not related by blood, and there’s no room for anyone else between them,” Li Wen explained with a smile in a low voice.

"Just like us?" A slight smile appeared on Chu Xue's face.

"Uh-huh?"

“Stare…” Li Xue silently climbed out of Bai’s arms, sat down between her parents, and looked up at them.

Li Wen patted Li Xue's head and smiled, "Of course, there's also the little angel..."

"Hehe..." Li Xue scratched her head sheepishly, "I'm not that outstanding..."

Sora and Shiro exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.

fine.

"Ahem, right, right, besides seeing you and... the most important thing we came here for is that we learned something from Tetu, so we specially prepared a Christmas surprise for you." Kong coughed twice. "However, whether you can get this surprise depends on whether you can beat us!"

"It's been so long since we last met, and you're already having a competition?" Li Wen asked with a smile.

"If we can't win, then there's no surprise." Bai nodded.

“Alright, what do you want to compete in? There are quite a few familiar games here…” Li Wen thought for a moment, trying to find the same games from his memory.

"No need, let's go with Glory." Kong laughed, "We arrived a few days early, and after practicing a bit, we feel it shouldn't be a problem."

Ok?
Chu Xue was slightly taken aback. She had a top professional gamer husband and was also the owner of a club. Although she wasn't very good at playing games, she knew that Glory was not a simple game.

He only practiced for a few days and already wants to challenge Xiao Wen...

Chu Xue subconsciously looked at Xiao Wen, but she didn't see any dissatisfaction on Li Wen's face regarding the other party's disrespect for Glory. Instead, she saw only seriousness and solemnity.

Where do these two people come from?
……

Ember Team Training Room

Although everyone was still training, during the breaks, they would unconsciously shift their gaze to the corner.

There, Li Wen, the former captain and founder of the Ember team, and a former double-title professional player, was seriously preparing for the match.

And sitting opposite him was a completely unfamiliar man...

What's going on? Captain Li is going to have a one-on-one fight with that guy? But why is Captain Li so serious?
"Never mind, let's rest first."

A voice interrupted their murmurs, startling everyone. They all looked at their captain, somewhat embarrassed. "Let's go take a look," Qiu Fei said calmly. "To be honest, I'm curious too..."

He had a strange feeling about that stranger, a feeling he had only experienced before when he was training with Captain Ye or practicing with Xiao Wen.

However, even though we're not on the field right now, that feeling is exceptionally clear.

The members of the Ember team quickly switched to observer mode, without interfering with the battle on the other side. One by one, account cards that could make the God Realm tremble logged in, and then quickly went invisible, heading towards the arena.

"Let me come to Xiaowen, I'm going to teach that guy a lesson!" Su Muqiu's soul said through gritted teeth.

Li Wen raised his hand and tapped the OK keycaps: "What account should I use..."

[A normal account is no match for this monster. Let's use Lord Grim.] Su Muqiu took a deep breath.

Over the years, the Honor of Kings level cap has been raised to level 90, which is also the last period when solo players have the advantage.

However, after the World Invitational Tournament ended that year, the "Sanren" class became completely unable to appear in professional leagues.

At Ye Xiu's request, Chen Guo gave Lord Grim to Li Wen free of charge, as a keepsake.

Li Wen didn't say anything, but took out the account card that he always wore around his neck from his chest, swiped the card, and logged in.

Then... bodies were swapped.

Li Xue stared wide-eyed in disbelief as yet another father with a lighter-colored face appeared. Li Wen smiled and made a shushing gesture, then took Li Xue's hand on the other side.

Su Muqiu, having prepared to attack, said, "My weapon level is a bit low, shall we start the correction phase?"

"Either way, this account is... Hmm? Ah, I see." Kong smiled, glanced at Li Xue's side, and then at Li Wen opposite him: "No wonder he recommended that we send this gift... Let's begin."

Qiu Musu and Jun Moxiao charged at each other simultaneously. A brief, rapid, and violent clashing sound, like a storm, rang out as the Thousand Chance Umbrella transformed and changed, unleashing a series of enhanced flashes.

"They actually used Lord Grim..."

"yes……"

"Neither a mechanic nor a sharpshooter, this... wait a minute, if this is a sharpshooter on the other side, he's really skilled!"

The Ember team members, hiding in another corner, occasionally let out a gasp.

The sharpshooter's skill level is very high. Although he cannot be compared with Zhou Zekai or Li, there is currently no sharpshooter in the professional league who can rival him.

Positioning, switching, and timing for enhancement.

With just a single profession, he could fight on par with Lord Grim, who already possessed a professional advantage...

Li Wen watched Su Muqiu's actions quietly, a faint smile on his face.

In terms of pure skill, Mu Qiu is actually inferior to Kong Ge. No, even Ye Ge at his peak would probably be far behind Kong Ge.

However, games have an upper limit, just like a high school physics exam. Even if Einstein and a top high school student took the test at the same time, they would only get a tie.

The upper limit is already locked, and any additional operations are useless. In the game Honor, the players who control Lord Grim, Su Muqiu and Kong, have already reached the so-called upper limit.

The rest is really just a matter of luck.

Li Wen looked at Bai, who was kneeling on the chair and sitting there quietly. Of course, if it were Brother Kong and Sister Bai together... I'm afraid there would be no one in the entire alliance who could be their match.
Even if Brother Ye and Brother Mu Qiu joined forces, it wouldn't work.

Without divine intervention, they would never have been able to complete the previous mission...

And the scene has now come to its finale.

【glory】!
……

"Wow, that's incredible? Xiao Wen was using Lord Grim, and he only managed a draw with this guy?" At the dinner table, Old Wei's eyes widened. "He's only been playing for a few days? Really? You're kidding, aren't you?"

Others were also somewhat incredulous. Just the fact that someone could fight Lord Grim to a draw in the arena map during his peak was unbelievable. "Li Wen" was able to win by making the most of the map and winning by a very small margin. However, in the arena, Lord Grim still had the advantage!
"Hero, join our Ember Team! Your debut will be..."

"Here you go, Captain." Qiu Fei nodded seriously. As the observer throughout the entire process, he knew best the strength of the man in front of him who was eating with shining eyes.

"No, no, we just came to see Xiao Wen... um, there are other people waiting for us at home." Kong said with a smile. After experiencing a lot in the other world, her former social anxiety from being a shut-in had improved a lot, especially since she had served as a governor with Bai. In addition, these people were all Li Wen's friends, so there was naturally no problem communicating with them: "Thank you for your hospitality, the food was very good!"

As astute individuals, the veteran members of the Ember team could naturally see that the other party truly had no intention of pursuing further studies in Glory.

and……

With their perfect looks, like they stepped out of an anime, they certainly don't seem like an ordinary family.

Old Wei sighed with some regret, but the atmosphere quickly brightened up again. There was a lively exchange of toasts and laughter, with no scheming or backstabbing, just a simple welcome to the friends.

Bai was clearly not interested in what was happening here, but he was having a great time chatting with the girls from the second generation. Gradually, it got late.

Those with family members helped each other leave the restaurant, while those without family members helped each other.

A rare light snow began to fall outside, and people on the street looked up in surprise at this unusual sight.

"Alright, let's go then!" Kong stretched and said with a smile.

"Bye-bye." Bai Yiyi waved goodbye to the children with reluctance.

"Huh? No... stay a few more days? We haven't properly entertained you yet," Li Wen asked, somewhat surprised.

"I'm just here to fulfill a past regret." Sora shook his head: "In the end, everyone still has their own life."

Li Wen glanced at Chu Xue and her daughter, who were holding hands and waiting for him, then looked at Kong and Bai: "We'll meet again, won't we?"

"Of course." Kong nodded. "Oh, right, as a reward for Su Muqiu finally managing to tie with me, I'll give you guys the Christmas presents. Go back and take a look..."

“Hmm, Brother Muqiu…” Li Wen was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that something was wrong with his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that the Lion Yi Hai was softly lying on his shoulder.

It started just now...

Li Wen turned his head, but the Blank siblings were gone.

Go back and take a look...

Li Wen's eyes lit up, and he took the hands of the mother and daughter, walking towards the Ember Club.

"Little brother, how old are you?"

Who are you looking for?

"What's your name?"

The girls on night shift gathered together and asked in soft voices.

Among them, an orange-haired boy with a dark expression sat there, yelling, "Sora, you bastard!"
