"See you tomorrow, Gongsheng! You absolutely have to wake me up for school tomorrow! If you dare do what you did today again, I'll make you pay!" He added at the end, "Say goodbye to Xiandong for me!"

Chapter Seventeen: Farewell to the Legendary Era

An hour has passed since lunchtime, and Yu Ma Xian Dong has already written half of the outline. He will be able to finish the outline in another hour.

Today, his goal for himself is to finish writing the outline, and then start writing and publishing the novel tomorrow.

Just as he was about to continue writing, he noticed a knock on the door.

He cautiously refrained from opening the door, instead calling out loudly, "Is this Kousei?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, she asked, "So, brother doesn't blame me?"

"Why blame you? After all, you made a delicious meal!" Kousei Arima's voice rang out from outside. "By the way, I came to tell you that Tsubaki has left. She asked me to say goodbye to you."

"Oh, I see. Is there anything else?" Arima Kento was not completely off guard and still did not open the door.

"I still have some hot milk here. I just heated it up, and I left you a cup."

"Oh, I see!" For a moment, Yu Ma Xian Dong felt a warmth in his heart. He was indeed his older brother, so considerate. He was a little thirsty.

Thinking this, he opened the door, and then Ma Kosei rushed in, but he didn't have any milk in his hand!

"You! Kousei, you actually dared to lie to me. I'll show you what I'm capable of." Arima Kento has always practiced military boxing. How could someone as weak as Arima Kousei possibly beat him? Even if Kousei had the upper hand, it wouldn't matter.

In an instant, the situation reversed. Arima Kousei had originally planned to use the incident in the kitchen to threaten Arima Kento into making bento boxes for the two of them in the future, but now it was clear that that wouldn't work.

"One dinner is enough, why do you want me to make a bento box! No way, I'd be exhausted. You can just buy a bento box at a convenience store! Why do I have to make it myself?" Yu Ma Xian Dong didn't understand this at all, and he felt it was completely unnecessary.

However, Arima Kousei didn't think so. He begged for mercy, and only after Arima Kento let him go did he say, "Alright, I'll get up a little earlier from now on and make bento boxes for us, okay? Don't be so quick to refuse. If they're not good, you can go buy them yourself!"

"Alright, I'll trust you this once!" I have to give my brother a chance, right?

Then, Arima Kousei turned around, picked up a glass of milk from the ground, and handed it to Arima Kento, saying, "There's still milk. Drink it quickly, and go to bed early. You have school tomorrow!"

Arima Xiandong took the milk and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Don't worry, brother, I know the time. You should stop working on your part-time job."

"Okay, give it to me, I still need to wash the cup. Goodnight!" Arima Kousei took the cup from Arima Kento's hand, and he also prepared to go back to his room to do his own things.

"OK, good night."

Perhaps it was the refreshing effect of that glass of milk that kept him alert, but Ma Xiandong was in exceptionally good condition for the remaining hour, and he finished writing the outline smoothly.

It was only 9:30 p.m., and he was far from sleepy!

It's time to make a decision in that world.

First, he saved what he had written and closed his email. Then, Ma Xiandong opened the game he had just downloaded while writing.

This is a LA online RPG game called "Legendary Era," which is actually a 2D online game. It's also a game where you can become stronger by spending money, and Arima Xiandong, who wasn't short of money, came into contact with this game at some point during his three years of gaming and unknowingly embarked on the path of becoming a big spender.

At first, I just wanted to have some casual fun, since most of the gameplay was free, and the paid features were the lottery and various items.

However, he didn't expect to get so addicted to the game. Over three years, his intermittent spending on in-game purchases and decent gameplay made him the number one player in that region's power rankings.

Because he had reached the maximum level, the game gradually lost its appeal for him, and he no longer wanted to continue playing it.

So, I downloaded it on my new computer today because I wanted to log in one last time, say goodbye to my guildmates, and also break off my engagement with my 'wife'.

This game has a social system, so things like marriage are also possible.

The reason he got married in the game was because a female character he happened to save kept pestering him and then confessed her feelings, which he reluctantly accepted.

Actually, he never knew if his 'wife' was a real woman, because the online game didn't have voice or video chat features. But that didn't matter, at least when he logged in, the female character's words and actions were very much like a real woman's.

That's enough. Even if a burly man is operating it from behind, it doesn't matter; it's just a game.

Arima Kento's principle is to see things through to the end, which is why he took the actions he did today.

Upon entering the game, I was immediately greeted with numerous comments. My character's ID is 'Lucian,' making him quite a celebrity in the game, so it's no surprise that he received so many messages.

Upon arriving at the guild, he convened a guild meeting as the guild leader, and then handed over the position of guild leader to the vice guild leader, a player with the ID "master." Incidentally, this guy is also a big spender on in-game purchases.

When asked why, he just smiled and said, "Because I'm not planning to play this game anymore!"

"Wow, he spent so much money on in-game purchases and then just quit like that? He really is a rich kid!" and other comments. Yu Ma Xian Dong didn't pay any attention to them.

Now all you need to do is complete one last thing to uninstall the game.

When he arrived at the system hotel where he and his 'wife', whose ID was 'Ayako', often chatted together, 'Ayako' was indeed still waiting there.

I heard from others that if my character 'Lucian' doesn't go online, 'Yako' will stay here waiting.

Honestly, I'm getting too caught up in the game. But I still have to apologize, since I'm about to leave.

"Yako, you're still waiting for me!" After typing this message as 'Lucian', 'Yako' immediately responded, "Lucian, you're finally online!"

“Let’s go raid the dimensional rifts in the western mines together! I’ve had a lot more pocket money lately, and I’ve also upgraded my staff. I definitely won’t hold you back this time!” ’Yako’ said excitedly.

"I'm sorry, Ayako, I'm afraid I can't run the otherworld dungeon with you anymore!" Although he felt a little guilty, Arima Kento still had to say, "Because I'm planning to quit this game."

"Ah! Why?! Did Ako do something wrong? Tell me, and I'll definitely change! Please don't leave! What will happen to Ako if you leave?! Nobody will want me then!! Waaaaaah~~" The character 'Ako' immediately typed this message.

"It's not your fault, it's just that I don't want to play this game anymore. You did nothing wrong, you did a great job, even though your skills were a bit lacking."

Chapter 18: Marching into the King of Glory Pesticides

“Oh, I see! So this game has lost its appeal for you, Lucian! So, Lucian, will you play other games after you quit this one?” 'Yako' said.

"Hmm~ I can play. I'm just quitting this game, not stopping playing games altogether. Right now, I'm playing a mobile game."

There was nothing to hide, so Arima Kento told 'Ayako' very openly.

'Yako' stood there without replying. Yuma Xiandong thought she was angry, didn't want to talk, or had gone offline.

"Hey, Ayako! Are you still there? If not, I'm logging off. Let's just call off our engagement!"

Not caring much about the other person's opinion, Yu Ma Xian Dong just wanted to play the games on his phone. He was already quite good at resisting playing for so long, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

I checked my watch and it was already 9:40. Ten minutes had passed, I had to hurry!

Just as he was about to break off the engagement, Aya suddenly spoke up: "No, don't break off the engagement! Please don't! Even if you don't want to play this game anymore, please don't break off the engagement with Aya! Please, Lucien!"

Even without voice calls or video calls, if it were a girl on the other end, he could imagine her looking like she was about to cry and beg for mercy.

He softened.

"Alright, Ayako, I won't call off the engagement, just calm down. But I really won't play this game anymore, so goodbye."

“Wait! Lucian!” 'Yako' said again.

Ma Xiandong was getting impatient. He didn't have much time to play games; he could only play until 11 p.m. before he had to go to sleep, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get up for school the next morning.

"If you have anything else to say, please say it all at once. I have other things to do," said Arima Kento, who was controlling the character 'Lucian', sounding somewhat impatient.

“I’m sorry, Lucien, I need to find out the details before I can make my decision,” 'Yako' said. “I’d like to ask if the mobile game you’re playing has a social system, and if marriage is possible?”

Arima Kento paused slightly upon hearing the question, but after a moment's thought, he replied, "Yes, as long as the level of affection reaches a certain point, it's possible to become a couple. However, I don't know about marriage."

“That makes things easier.” 'Yako' looked relieved and said, “I’ve made up my mind, Lucien!”

"I want to play that game with you, and then we'll get married again and continue our life in that game!!"

"ha?!!"

Is this Shi Zhile?! Getting too immersed in the role is no excuse! Or does the guy behind the screen have some kind of mental illness?

"Fine, whatever!" Yu Ma Xian Dong said. The other party was just his 'wife' in the online game, and he didn't care about her at all. He just wanted to play the game.

"The game is called 'Honor of Kings,' a PvP real-time battle game. If you want to play it, download the game on your phone, but you need an iPhone, otherwise you can't add me as a friend."

"My Summoner ID in that game is still 'Lucian'. If you want to add me, log in with your email in the game and then search for me."

"I'm not talking anymore, I'm going to play games. I'm about to reach Gold rank!"

After saying that, without giving 'Yako' a chance to speak, Yuma Xiandong logged off, closed the game, and uninstalled it.

After taking out his phone and opening "Honor of Kings", Ma Xiandong opened the ranked match interface, which showed his rank as "Order Silver 1 Four Stars". This means that as long as he wins one more game, he will be able to advance to the rank of "Glory Gold 4 One Star".

This game existed in his previous life as well. Ma Xiandong was quite skilled and reached the highest rank, so when he encountered the game of the same name in this life, which was not much different from the previous life, he still found it very fun.

Unlike the previous life, this game is also very popular in Japan. Although there is another mobile game called Honkai Impact 3 that is also very popular, it can only barely compete with it.

It's worth noting that behind "Honor of Kings" stands Tencent, China's largest internet giant!

Speaking of Tencent, the book I'm preparing to publish is also from Tencent!

Also, the popular email service in Japan is actually called Penguin Mail, a product developed by Tencent specifically for Japan, similar to QQ and WeChat.

The Penguin Company in this world is also very powerful, but Ma Xiandong knows that some of the shares of the Penguin Company are also held by his family.

He downloaded the game after getting a new phone yesterday. He only played it for a few hours and reached Silver rank, even without any runes.

When he played yesterday, he only used RMB to buy the hero Li Bai and the skin 'Millennium Fox'.

Although Li Bai's limited-edition skin "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" is also very cool and is currently on sale, he still feels that the Millennium Fox skin feels better to play with.

Since he's decided to climb the ranks today, his runes need to be better, so he's going to show off his whale (high spender) skills.

Because his level wasn't maxed out, his rune level couldn't reach 150. So he spent money to unlock rune slots and draw runes. He then used the fragments from dismantling the runes to synthesize a set of exclusive armor penetration runes for the hero Li Bai: ten level 5 Hunting runes, ten level 5 Mutation runes, and ten level 5 Eagle Eye runes, for a total rune level of 150.

The reason for choosing Li Bai is because he is his main hero. In his previous life, he also used Li Bai to reach the rank of "King of Glory". He is not considering other heroes and skins for the time being, and will talk about them after he reaches Diamond!

Sure enough, having runes made a difference. In his promotion match, at the ten-minute mark, he achieved a pentakill in the mid lane, and the opponent immediately chose to surrender.

He then played several ranked matches with Li Bai and won them all. Although he didn't get a pentakill, he still managed to get quadrakills, triple kills, and godlike streaks.

It was almost 11 o'clock when Yu Ma Xian Dong gave up the idea of ​​continuing to climb the ranks, because he still had to go to school tomorrow!

Thinking about it this way, I realize I'm quite busy! Not only do I have to go to school, but I also have to find a way to pull my brother out of his slump, write online novels, and play games to improve my rank.

Fortunately, there is plenty of free time in Japan, enough for me to manage as I see fit.

After washing up, Arima Kento turned off the computer that had been playing music and prepared to go to sleep. He liked to listen to music while playing games, so this alien computer served as his music player.

Lying in bed, Arima Xiandong gradually drifted off to sleep.

Little did he know that a girl was unable to sleep for a long time because of him.

Chapter Nineteen: Changes in Yako

Arima Kento was fast asleep, but on the other side, 'Ako', who had just logged off from 'Legendary Age', was wide awake.
