Their commission was suspicious.

Hearing the commotion, Hua attempted to break down the door, but was stopped by Cang Xuan Dan Zhu.

"You don't understand, Hua. It's just a little flirtation between the Doctor and Lolo."

"Really?" Hua tilted his head.

I've never been in a relationship, don't lie to me.

"Really, don't go in now, or we'll become part of their game too."

"What...what's going on at this bar?" When Raiden Mei finished school at 6 p.m. and came to the bar to see if Chen Luo was there, she saw a surprising scene.

There was a queue at the bar.

Looking up from the bar entrance, Mei could see a queue stretching down the stairs from the second floor.

Although the line wasn't very long, it was still unusual to see people queuing up in a bar.

Curious, Raiden Mei asked Merlin, who was in line.

"I don't know, but if there's a line, so be it. Maybe it'll be something interesting," Merlin said with interest.

For Merlin, the unknown is actually a very interesting thing.

"Ignore Merlin, he's just there for the fun of it. This line is actually for people who want to become Chen Luo's family."

"Family?" Raiden Mei tilted her head.

"To be precise, they are members of the River God's Familia. You can check your phone for details, right? There was a message in the group chat," Yukari Yakumo reminded her.

"I was in class and didn't use my phone." After hearing Yakumo Yukari's reminder, Raiden Mei took out her phone.

Raiden Mei is a good girl; she never secretly plays on her phone during class. Kiana might not be a good student, but she only sleeps in class and doesn't play on her phone.

Bronya could potentially use electronic devices, but because of her short stature, she's positioned very far forward, making it impossible for her to use the phone under Himeko's watchful gaze.

Seele? Seele is also a good student.

Black Seele? Black Seele isn't a good student, but she doesn't have a cell phone.

"The River God's Clan is officially opening today. Join us and your life will take a major turn for the better."

Those who do not join the River God's Familia will ultimately perish.

"Opportunity knocks but once!"

"Join the River God's Clan now and the clan's leader, the River God, will personally bless you and help you overcome your troubles."

"Family members, come and claim your benefits!"

"The first 30 members to join the River God's Favored Group will receive 5 points of favorability from NPC Chen Luo!"

This series of advertisements made Raiden Mei a little dizzy.

"Wait, favorability rating?" Raiden Mei's eyes lit up.

"That's right, it's about favorability rating, you read that correctly. By the way, Merlin is ranked 29th," Yukari Yakumo whispered.

"Mei, we're here..."

"!!!" Upon hearing this sound, Raiden Mei immediately stood behind Merlin and lined up without saying a word.

“However, this favorability rating might be different from what you imagine. It doesn’t represent any subjective emotional inclination; it’s just used for discounting,” Yukari Yakumo said.

"...Kiana, come here quickly, I've saved you a spot." Raiden Mei turned around and said to Kiana.

"Oh, is that a good thing? No need, I can just queue up myself."

"I heard that the top 30 increase Luo Luo's favorability, and I happen to be ranked 30th."

"Then Mei won't stand on ceremony."

"..." by Yukari Yakumo

The long queue moved quickly, and it was Kiana's turn in just a few minutes. Watching Kiana walk in with anticipation and then walk out with a rosy complexion, Raiden Mei became even more curious about the ceremony taking place on the second floor.

After Raiden Mei went up to the second floor, she saw the sign next to her.

Please be prepared to expose your back.

"Huh?" Raiden Mei didn't know she was going to expose her back or anything like that before?

Fortunately, it was only on the back.

“Come on, Mei, lie down here,” Chen Luo said, who was biting his finger on the second floor.

After seeing the warning that she needed to expose her back, Raiden Mei looked around to make sure no one was watching before awkwardly placing her hands on the bottom of her shirt...

Mei now understands why only those who are in line can enter the second floor.

After all, taking off clothes does involve some privacy.

"Hey, stop, stop, you don't need to take off your clothes, I'll help you take them off in a bit."

"Help me take my clothes off? Isn't this... moving too fast?" Mei's face turned red instantly, and her voice stammered.

"...You may have misunderstood something, but actually I have Yakumo Yukari's gap-opening ability. As long as I open a gap in your clothes, I can see your back." Chen Luo glanced at the sign next to him, thinking about whether to write some precautions on it.

"Oh."

It might be Chen Luo's imagination, but he vaguely heard a hint of disappointment in Raiden Mei's voice.

Three common illusions in life: She likes me, I can turn the tables on her, and your phone vibrates.

"Oh, thank goodness it was just my imagination."

【Oh.】

The humanized plugin only mentioned the three major illusions, but didn't say that Chen Luo's perception was an illusion.

"Mei, to be honest, it's a waste that your back isn't covered with some kind of holy mark."

"Yes, is that so, Xu?"

"Your back is the most beautiful back I've ever seen, and Mei herself is very pretty too."

"Is that so?" Raiden Mei, who was lying on the operating table where Chen Luo couldn't see, blushed even more.

Especially when she felt Chen Luo's fingers slowly tracing across her back, experiencing that slight electric shock, Raiden Mei's face turned even redder.

Although Chen Luo's timing and location for praising himself were a bit off, at least he was praised.

"Alright. Didn't feel anything unusual, right? I knew it, my newly invented attention-shifting technique is really useful." Chen Luo suddenly withdrew his hand.

Meanwhile, Raiden Mei's back had been marked with the symbol of the River God's Familia by Chen Luo using a brush dipped in his own blood.

This means that Raiden Mei will now be Chen Luo's familiar, and only Chen Luo can update Raiden Mei's adventurer status.

In fact, Chen Luo could have also materialized Mei's soul, since Chen Luo's blood does have this effect, but considering that Mei had never made a similar request before, Chen Luo did not do so.

"Hmm?" Raiden Mei subconsciously turned her head.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked.

"It's nothing." Raiden Mei opened her mouth, but didn't say anything more.

"Using your fingers to touch your back to distract yourself from the pain should be quite effective, right?" Chen Luo said with a hint of pride.

"So this is what you meant by attention diversion techniques?" Raiden Mei realized belatedly.

Raiden Mei thought that Chen Luo's compliment was just a way to distract her.

"Otherwise what? Alright, I have already bestowed the grace of the gods upon you. When you train, kill soldiers, and kill Honkai Beasts, you will gain a certain amount of growth. Whenever you want to update your stats, just come find me. The specific details should be on your phone; you can check it out yourself."

"Understood." Raiden Mei nodded.

"Speaking of which, you must have just bestowed divine grace upon Merlin, right? Did you use this method to distract Merlin as well?" Raiden Mei asked curiously.

"Oh, no, it's not that, it's a direct attack," Chen Luo said coldly.

Girls should be gentle and kind, while boys should be self-reliant.

Since everyone was a boy, Chen Luo dared not try to distract the boys like that.

Raiden Mei was the last person in line, so Chen Luo followed her downstairs. As soon as they reached the first floor, Chen Luo saw Haruhi Suzumiya boasting about her dramatic and thrilling adventure in successfully obtaining the Star Core.

Those around them were stunned, but only Chen Luo knew how smoothly Haruhi Suzumiya obtained the Star Core.

Even the joyful star god Aha, who wanted to watch the show, didn't stop Haruhi Suzumiya from taking the star core. Instead, he took matters into his own hands, temporarily making Cocolia subconsciously ignore the star core's cry for help.

In the end, Chen Luo put the ordinary star core back and kept the golden star core.

You know what, the golden version of the Star Core that Haruhi Suzumiya obtained after going through countless hardships can indeed serve as a server for a simulated universe game.

Although Haruhi Suzumiya's self-praise was so exaggerated that it made others feel embarrassed, Chen Luo chose to ignore it in consideration of Haruhi Suzumiya's enormous contributions.

"So, cousin, where's my guild-building permit?" Chen Luo ignored Haruhi Suzumiya, but Haruhi Suzumiya didn't ignore Chen Luo. Instead, she ran up to Chen Luo and demanded her due reward.

"Well... actually, there was a small mishap," Chen Luo said, sounding somewhat embarrassed.

"What happened? Am I going to lose my title as the leader of the SOS Brigade?"

"No, no, no, the star core you brought back is too effective, better than expected, so now you have two choices."

"What choice?"

"First, let's still use the StarCore server to build a game."

"Secondly, using the star core as the energy center, we will create a true otherworldly game, allowing players to adventure in this world through game modes. You will be the first Supreme VIP member in this game, obtaining the unique title: Top Player," Chen Luo said.

"Another world? What other world?" Haruhi Suzumiya became interested.

"This other world is called: Dungeon Fighter Online." Chen Luo said as he took out a helmet that looked very luxurious.

"Try it out." Chen Luo handed the helmet to Haruhi Suzumiya.

Haruhi Suzumiya couldn't wait to put it on, and then everything went black before her eyes. Then she saw a star that was exceptionally bright in the boundless starry sky.

Haruhi Suzumiya, understanding perfectly, pointed, and the star instantly magnified, its name appearing before her eyes.

Simulated Universe 1: Dungeon Fighter Online

This is the complete simulated universe that Chen Luo obtained.

Each star in this game represents a real world.

But only if the world agrees can a player enter that world through gameplay.

The advantage of traversing the world in this way is that no matter how many times a player dies, they can be resurrected just like in a game.

The downside is that it consumes a very high amount of energy and requires a specific type of energy source.

However, this drawback has been solved by Haruhi Suzumiya, whose special golden star core can meet this requirement.

However, even the golden star core can only supply a few hundred people to obtain player status.

The most ingenious thing is that since there is a simulated universe one, there must naturally be simulated universes two, three, four, five, six, and seven as well...

Even if players get tired of playing one simulated universe, they can go and play other simulated universes.

"This sounds really interesting," Haruhi Suzumiya said excitedly.

Dream games are ultimately just dreams.

"Of course, this is a real simulated universe. Each star represents a world, and there will be more and more simulated universes in the future. So what do you think of the 'Ready Player One' achievement reward?"

"Okay, okay, this is it!" Haruhi Suzumiya nodded quickly.

"Well... my esteemed number one player, would you like to help me test the simulated universe?" Chen Luo invited Haruhi Suzumiya.

"Beg me." Haruhi Suzumiya put her hands on her hips.

"Please, let me take the test."

Chapter 1617 The Blackened and Swollen Face of Top Player: Haruhi Suzumiya

"I laugh at those zombies for their lack of strategy, and Gastrea for their lack of intelligence! I am the only hero in the world!" Haruhi Suzumiya stood with her hands on her hips, brazenly meeting the admiring gazes of the crowd, and looking down on the zombie world of Simulated Universe 1 and the pitch-black bullet world of Simulated Universe 2.

Originally, the simulated universe was supposed to be called Dungeon Fighter Online, but Chen Luo later discovered that the Highschool of the Dead world and the Black Bullet world were also willing to allow players to come to their worlds to play the game, but only for fighting monsters.

Because Orario is the world with the highest combat power among the three worlds currently accessible, it has now become the simulated universe.

Chen Luo couldn't possibly mislead students, so the sequence of simulated universes is ranked according to the world's difficulty.
