The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

"Snapped!"

Ai Kun raised his hand and slapped him.

Xiao Ai's laughter instantly distorted.

Her palm-sized data projection spun and flew out, landing with a thud on the table, its body flattened into a small pancake.

The chat paused for two seconds.

"???"

"no?!"

"Host...you...you?!"

"You've been possessed?!"

Everyone was stunned.

The person who trapped 10,000 players in a death game and claimed to be the only advanced being, was just slapped flat?

Aikun selectively ignored the little Ai struggling on the desktop.

He straightened his collar.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

"As you can see!"

"This is the main villain who appeared in the short film just now, Master Ai."

"And she is precisely the consciousness of the ancient Dragon Kingdom's android that helped us develop our technological prowess!"

As soon as the sentence was finished, the live chat was once again filled with question marks.

Countless viewers still wanted to ask more questions.

Aikun, however, did not give them a chance at all.

"Of course, we won't tell her story today."

Let's go back to our previous topic.

He unfolded his folding fan and fanned himself twice.

"Guys, anyone want to go in and see Elder Ye and Sword Immortal Jiang in person?"

"Those who want to go, register here!"

"We will randomly select a group from the applicants."

"My little Ai beside me..."

Aikun stretched out two fingers, pinched the back of Xiao Ai's collar, and lifted her off the table.

"Mmm-mmm-mmm—"

Xiao Ai shook her head vigorously.

The flattened data body quickly rebounded and returned to its original shape.

She glared fiercely at Aikun.

Then, she crossed her arms, turned to look at the camera, and continued Ai Kun's words.

"This humble Ai can take you back three thousand years to the game 'Myriad Realms'!"

[Wasting Bandages - Black Mud Cat]: "What?! There's even this kind of part!?"

"I... I feel like this is a bit absurd, what should I do?"

[Rainy Pavilion]: "Host, host! I! I want a male character who, at a certain destined moment, lets out a cry that pierces the long night!"

[President of the Monster Girl Protection Association]: "I! I! I want a male character wearing heavy armor from ancient times, from the Middle Ages!"

[The moon sets, frost fills the courtyard]: "I want a martial arts fanatic who wields a long spear!"

【Li-Xing】: "I want a girl who plays the guzheng!"

【Lonely City, Cool Dreams】: "I want a couple!"

【Candle in the Southern Evening】: "Upstairs? What, you want to fuck yourself?"

"I also want a couple, how about we team up?"

"Will you be the top or the bottom?"

……

The comments section descended into complete chaos.

The number of applicants is increasing by millions every second.

One outrageous request after another densely covered the entire screen.

Some people want to be heavily armored warriors.

Someone wants to be an assassin.

Some even requested to be matched with a character who is "handsome, aloof, has eyes that can display fan-shaped patterns, and whose every appearance is accompanied by blooming flowers".

Aikun waited quietly for a while.

Only when the number of applicants exceeded one billion did he raise his folding fan to signal everyone to be quiet.

"My darlings, due to the large number of applicants, I cannot guarantee that everyone will be selected."

"We will find a replacement character from the original game character for the selected character according to the requirements and settings you submitted."

"Oh, right!"

Aikun covered half of his face with a folding fan, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes.

"Once you're in, you can't quit by any means!"

"We also couldn't reveal any information outside the game to Elder Ye or Sword Immortal Jiang."

"Furthermore, every character has a predetermined ending."

"You're just going there to experience it; you can't change their fate."

His tone was relaxed.

The discussion in the live stream gradually shifted direction.

You cannot exit.

The future cannot be revealed.

The outcome cannot be changed.

This is no longer just about entering a game; it's more like experiencing a life from which there is no turning back.

While Ai Kun was speaking, the selection results started popping up one after another.

[Rainy Pavilion]: "Holy crap! I won?!"

【Li-Xing】: "I won too!!"

[Ke Chun]: "Hey, host, after we go in, will those old patriarchs from Zhongdeng who we replaced die?"

"And what if we don't make it back either?"

After this question arose, the comment section became much quieter.

Aikun waved his fan and smiled.

No, it won't happen!

He didn't explain the specific method, but simply glanced at the time.

"The live stream will be paused for ten minutes."

"The chosen one can now lie down in the game pod."

"Also, remember to tell your family."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a dull thud was heard outside the doors of some viewers' homes as machinery landed.

[Hongmeng Master Hong]: "Holy crap! It really exists! A game pod has appeared right outside my door!"

"Family members, I'll go first!"

Viewers who had won the lottery logged off.

One by one, the account avatars went dark.

The remaining viewers who didn't win could only writhe in envy in the live stream.

"I'm so envious... Holy crap!"

"I want to go to another world too!"

"I want to see our ancestors too! Waaah..."

"Speaking of which, why did the streamer suddenly do this? I have a feeling he's testing something?"

"Hiss... Could this be a test for that game where you travel back 5,000 years?"

"Hiss... hiss!!!"

"This is terrifying to think about!"

"The streamer's identity doesn't seem simple either..."

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The live stream screen lit up again.

The projection behind Ai Kun transformed into a giant login screen.

One after another, indicator lights representing the game pods lit up.

Nine thousand lamps.

Nine thousand five hundred lamps.

Nine thousand nine hundred lamps.

Ultimately, the login count stopped at an unexpected level.

[Game pod connected: 9997]

[Consciousness synchronization completed: 9997]

[Role matching complete: 9997]

The next moment, all the indicator lights on the projector turned green simultaneously.

[All 9997 gaming pods have been successfully deployed.]

Under the sycamore tree.

Jiang Liyu's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the string of numbers.

Ye Chen also stopped arguing with Yan Cong and looked up at the sky.

Aikun smiled at the camera.

"So..."

Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"clatter!"

"The game begins now!!!"
