Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Meanwhile, the official live stream room outside the city was in complete chaos.

The barrage of comments scrolled rapidly, almost covering the entire screen, filled with exclamations, complaints, and resentment.

Holy crap! That last shot was so cool! They both fired at the same time, but the pro's gun was faster!

[That NPC's name was Li Lie, right? A level 64 second-rate martial artist, not weak at all, yet he was still killed in one shot...]

It wasn't a swift victory, it was a head-to-head battle. But the top performer definitely won, winning because of their speed.

[The martial arts competition is finally over! It was so exciting to watch, it's a shame I didn't register.]

[Even if you register, you won't make it to the finals. Didn't you see how strong those NPCs are? They're wearing such thick armor; players can't even break through their defenses after fighting for ages.]

[So, those players in the competition were too pretentious. They all dressed up in cool swordsman outfits, but they got a good beating from the heavily armored soldiers.]

[Exactly! Look at those NPCs, the second and third are both heavily armored soldiers, while the player only has one in first place, the rest were all eliminated.]

[We've been participating in this large-scale event for so long, but haven't gained much benefit; it's been a complete waste of time. We might as well have just looked at the strategy guides on the forums.]

The comments were still scrolling wildly, with some people complaining and others expressing envy. The entire live stream was as lively as a market.

Meanwhile, in a heavily guarded conference room, a group of people sat around a huge screen, their faces filled with bewilderment and surprise, their expressions complex.

On the screen, the final match of the martial arts competition was being replayed, and the scene of Wu Feng instantly defeating his opponent was clearly presented to everyone.

"I didn't expect these NPCs to be so strong. Only one of the top three in the martial arts competition is a player, and the other two are NPCs. The gap is too big." A researcher in a white coat frowned, his tone full of helplessness, and shook his head slightly.

"Yes," another middle-aged man in military uniform chimed in, "If our soldiers hadn't entered the game relatively late and were still practicing martial arts diligently, missing this martial arts competition, we would have sent people to participate directly, and the NPCs wouldn't have gained the upper hand."

After a moment of silence, an elderly man with gray hair spoke slowly and steadily: "Old Zhang, we now know the player's name—Wu Changfeng. In the game, we can try to contact him and communicate with him to see if we can get him to cooperate. After all, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

The old man, referred to as Lao Zhang, nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Wu Feng's figure on the screen.

After a moment's thought, he slowly said, "We can give it a try. Send someone to contact him in the game, be respectful, and don't offend him. Find out his background first before discussing cooperation."

"Yes, Elder Zhang." A middle-aged soldier immediately stood up, bowed, and then turned around, quickly walked out of the conference room, and arranged for his subordinates to contact Wu Feng in the game.

The people in the conference room remained seated around the screen, discussing Wu Feng's strength and subsequent plans in hushed tones, their expressions grave.

Meanwhile, in the game, Wu Feng had already left the palace and was walking briskly along the bluestone path towards Shunlai Inn.

The streets were still bustling, with long queues still forming in front of the naan bread stalls, fur merchants calling out their wares, children chasing and playing, and the sun shining warmly on the streets.

Wu Feng hurried along, not bothering to appreciate the street scenery. He just wanted to get back to the inn as soon as possible, call Wu Xingyun and Li Qinglu, and head to the mansion he had just acquired.

Soon, he returned to Shunlai Inn. Pushing open the inn's door, he found many guests still sitting in the lobby, and the innkeeper was still behind the counter, fiddling with his abacus, making a clattering sound.

Wu Feng didn't linger; he went straight up to the second floor and into the backyard.

The bamboo in the courtyard was still lush and green, its leaves rustling in the wind. Wu Xingyun was sitting at the stone table, resting with his eyes closed.

Li Qinglu sat to the side, holding a piece of glutinous rice cake and eating it in small bites. When she saw Wu Feng return, her eyes lit up instantly, and a gentle smile curved her lips. She quickly stood up: "Wu Lang, you're back! How did the martial arts test go? Did you win?"

Seeing her delighted expression, Wu Feng smiled and nodded, "You won. You've won the martial arts championship. Pack your things, let's leave here and go to our new mansion."

"Really? That's great!" Li Qinglu's smile deepened. She quickly put down the glutinous rice cake in her hand, turned around, and ran into the west wing to pack her things.

Wu Xingyun slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wu Feng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then nodded slightly, got up and went into the east wing to tidy up his things.

A moment later, the two packed their things and followed Wu Feng out of Shunlai Inn.

Wu Feng led the two along the bustling street toward the luxury residential area on the west side of Kaifeng City.

Along the way, shops lined both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining filled the air, while pedestrians dressed in various clothes came and went.

Li Qinglu looked around curiously, her eyes full of anticipation, while Wu Xingyun remained calm, following behind Wu Feng, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the surrounding scenery, but without much expression.

About half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the new mansion.

Looking at the mansion in front of them, Wu Feng was a little stunned. Li Qinglu and Wu Xingyun also stopped in their tracks, their faces full of surprise and their eyes full of disbelief.

This is a typical Song Dynasty-style garden mansion hidden in Kaifeng city, with green tiles, white walls, and a vermilion gate. Two stone lions are placed at the entrance, with majestic and lifelike expressions.

Above the main gate hangs a plaque with the three large characters "Champion's Mansion" written on it. The characters are vigorous and powerful, with a faint luster.

The mansion is surrounded by high walls, which complement the surrounding residences and shops. Inside the walls, verdant trees and pavilions can be vaguely seen, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Although located in the city, it exudes a sense of tranquility and elegance, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Wu Feng snapped out of his daze and was secretly amazed: This reward is too incredible!

He had seen many rich people flaunt their mansions in the game before. Even the most ordinary mansion cost thousands of taels of gold. The mansion in front of him was grand in scale, beautiful in scenery, and fully equipped. He would completely believe it even if it was worth tens of thousands of taels of gold.

Li Qinglu walked to the gate, gently touching the vermilion door with her hand, her eyes filled with curiosity and joy: "Wu Lang, is this our new residence? It's so big and beautiful!"

Wu Xingyun also looked up and surveyed the mansion, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in his eyes.

His lips twitched slightly, but he didn't speak, though the surprise in his eyes was undeniable.

She had never seen such a magnificent mansion before; even the imperial palace of Western Xia might not have such exquisite scenery.

Just as the two were looking around curiously, an old steward with gray hair and wearing a gray long robe walked quickly out of the mansion.

He bowed respectfully and said, "This humble servant greets the General and the two ladies. I am the steward of this residence, surnamed Wang, and I am responsible for managing all affairs within the residence. Please feel free to give me any orders, General."

Wu Feng nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Steward Wang, no need for formalities. I've just arrived and don't know much about this mansion yet. Could you give me a brief introduction?"

"Yes, General," Steward Wang replied with a bow, and then began to explain in detail:

"Reporting to the General, this residence was specially bestowed by the Emperor. It is grand in scale and divided into three parts: the front courtyard, the middle courtyard, and the back courtyard. The front courtyard is where guests are received and offices are held, and it includes a living room, a study, and a meeting hall;

The middle courtyard was the living quarters, with the master bedroom, east wing, west wing, as well as servants' quarters, kitchen, and woodshed, all fully equipped;

The backyard was a garden with pavilions, rockeries, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants—a perfect place for relaxation and rejuvenation. The mansion also housed over twenty servants responsible for cleaning, cooking, and security, ready to serve the general at any time.

Wu Feng listened attentively, increasingly surprised. The mansion was so well-equipped that it could easily house hundreds of personal guards, making it a top-tier luxury residence.

He nodded and said to Steward Wang, "Thank you for your hard work, Steward Wang. Please show us around and let us get familiar with the surroundings of the mansion."

"Yes, General, please follow me." Steward Wang bowed and led the way, entering the mansion first.

Wu Feng, accompanied by Li Qinglu and Wu Xingyun, followed behind Steward Wang and stepped into the mansion in the city.
