Mini World Game Console

Chapter 400: This Pretense Seems a Bit Over the Top


A manor in the wealthy district near Avignon, a Southern French City.

When Ren Naiser started her livestream, it had just turned midnight here.

The millionaire who lived here was a well-known local collector. He owned several auction houses and wineries, with funds sufficient to maintain his luxurious lifestyle and develop all kinds of interests. He had neither a wife nor children.

The first half of the collector's life was much like that of most French tycoons: studying, chasing girls, driving luxury cars, and drinking fine wine.

However, he had an additional artistic pursuit and particularly liked artifacts from different ethnic regions. Through dealing, he also developed good social skills. Thus, although his family's business was not spectacularly successful, it was steadily growing, and he was fulfilling his ancestors' expectations.

But the collector's latter half of life—no, he didn't have a latter half anymore—the collector's interests took a complete turn six months ago.

Extraordinary Strength.

Wizards and Cultivators.

Ren Naiser, Fairy Palace, World Tree...

Nine-Tailed Fox, Angel, Undead Peach Blossom Land...

The succession of changes dazzled his eyes, shattered his entire worldview cultivated over thirty-eight years, and naturally, his pursuits changed: he would spare no expense to obtain Extraordinary Strength!

Immortality and dominion, these two purest pursuits of human desire, are what everyone yearns for.

Ordinary people still need to hustle for their daily bread. For example, a middle-aged husband might want to practice the "Heaven and Earth's Great Compassion Mantra" from the internet all night. But then he remembers he has to catch the 7 a.m. subway to work and also take out the trash on his way out. So, he can only sadly go to sleep, thinking, Let's talk about it tomorrow.

But millionaires like the collector don't have such concerns and can recklessly pursue what they crave.

Of course, with his status and wealth, he naturally had various ways to obtain Cultivation Techniques from different countries. He soon realized he wasn't particularly talented—or perhaps, his Talent required much diligence.

In any case, the collector, accustomed to luxury, naturally chose to look for other shortcuts.

Just then, he found that his past interests could perhaps provide him with some assistance.

...

However, the collector was very health-conscious (after all, he was thirty-eight), and he went to bed at 11:30 p.m. (Sky Capital time 5:30 a.m.), totally unaware of the livestream.

When he heard the manor's alarm blaring, he could not hold back his anger upon waking.

The collector put on his robe and went to the window, where he saw a scene that fueled his fury—over a dozen Mutated Humans and Mutated Dogs were attacking a girl!

What was happening? He had explicitly taught these idiots not to reveal themselves carelessly! Were they itching for a spanking, or was my whip not painful enough!? This time, even if they dress up as bunny girls to lick my toes, I won't let them off the hook!

The collector snorted coldly, leisurely took out a bottle of red wine, poured himself a glass, and brought it to the window to savor. He figured the intruder girl would have been torn to shreds and fed to the dogs during the time it took for him to get his wine.

Speaking of which, although the collector had only caught a glimpse earlier, he felt that the girl was not bad at all.

Hmm, her Clothing was quite nice; if they hadn't torn it to shreds, he could wash it, give it to a tailor, and have one made for himself as well...

Just when the collector's thoughts were flying high, he realized that the girl had not yet fallen.

Not only had she not fallen, but several of the collector's power-infused monster guards had been pierced through by the girl!

Yes, literally 'pierced through'!

The girl's hands seemed to be wrapped in a whirlwind, but the whirlwind was enveloped in Fiery Flame, making her hands seem like a spiral flame Pile Driver. Even the monster guards, capable of withstanding knives and swords, were punched through their intestines and bowels!

A Transcendent!?

The collector's heart tightened. Had his activities been discovered? No, that's not right; why does the girl have an Asian face...? If it were the French secret society of wizards, they would never recruit an Asian female as a member. And it was impossible that only one person had come.

Upon this realization, the collector's heart stabilized slightly. He thought that most likely this Transcendent was just passing through to rob homes, and he had merely run into some bad luck. However, it was also her bad luck.

The girl's Extraordinary Strength was indeed formidable. Her skills were exceptional; she repeatedly dodged the coordinated attacks of the bodyguards and hounds, even managing to counter-kill time and again. However, the sheer number of enemies, along with the monstrous bodyguards' fearless nature, still inflicted many injuries on her.

But curiously, no matter how fiercely the monstrous bodyguards struck, the girl's Clothing remained unscathed!

The collector was all too aware of the destructive power of those monstrous bodyguards; they could tear through regular clothing, and even Russian black bears wouldn't be a match for them!

How marvelous!

The collector's eyes reddened with excitement. Could that be a magical item?

He did have a collection of magical items, but most of them had negative effects, such as a pacifier that made it impossible to defecate, a lamp base that made bulbs even more glaring, or a pen that wouldn't write a drop of ink...

They were fine as topics of jest during discussions, but very few were practical.

Something like the girl's Clothing, which was not only attractive but also defensively powerful, was indeed rare to see!

He had to get his hands on it! Even if it meant having to lose weight, he would wear that Clothing!

Just as the collector resolved to take up swimming and gym workouts, the girl seemed to have reached a dead end, continuously avoiding attacks by dodging. But one can only dodge for so long before a mistake is made, and she inevitably got hit by the monstrous bodyguards.

In a panic, she fled to a corner of the manor; the bodyguards and hounds swarmed in. Just when it seemed she would be torn apart, the girl suddenly left an Afterimage and burst out of the encirclement of the bodyguards!

But what did that matter? She still couldn't escape and would soon be caught by the bodyguards and hounds, he mused with a sinister chuckle.

At that moment, the collector's phone on the table rang.

It's worth mentioning that, for health reasons and because he followed some superstitious social media posts (or similar nonsense), the collector placed his phone on a desk quite far from his bed to prevent electromagnetic radiation.

He went over, picked it up, and immediately answered when he saw the caller ID, "What's up, Mr. Florence?"

"Watch Ren Naiser's livestream." After uttering these words, Florence hung up.

Ren Naiser?

The collector was naturally familiar with that name. It was precisely because of Ren Naiser that he had such an intense craving for Extraordinary Strength.

If it weren't for Ren Naiser, he would have never witnessed the mighty power of Extraordinary Strength with his own eyes.

If it weren't for Ren Naiser, he would never have known about the existence of the Fairy Palace, World Tree, and other Supernatural Organizations that towered over all Living Beings.

If it weren't for Ren Naiser, he wouldn't know that the first half of his life had been crap.

Yes, it was all Ren Naiser's fault! I've done nothing wrong! I'm just doing what any normal person would do; if there's blame to be assigned, then it's Ren Naiser's fault. Come on, I dare you to judge Ren Naiser! Or better yet, have Ren Naiser come and judge me!

BOOM!

The collector had just opened Ren Naiser's livestream page when a loud explosion sounded from outside.

He hurried over with his phone, and as his eyes drifted down slightly, he saw a surprising scene: In the phone display, it was obviously the scenery of his manor.

In the northwest corner of the manor, it looked as if it had been bombed by dozens of Italian Cannons, reduced to ruins with the flames licking over the remnants of the hounds and monstrous bodyguards.

This is... a scene from my manor? Ren Naiser, are you livestreaming my manor?

At that moment, a girl covered in wounds and with ash in her hair suddenly appeared on the screen. She climbed to the second floor, her left hand igniting a fiery spiral Pile Driver and attacked forward—

It was like watching a 5D movie; when the girl in the video attacked, the collector actually felt the hot wind!

CRACK!

The phone exploded into pieces!

As if a fiery spiral Pile Driver fist stretched out from the screen, it powerfully pierced through the collector's body!

「——————————」

Ren Suo checked the current Status of Nameless.

Serious Injury. As long as she wasn't dead, that's good. Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief. He now had Nameless equip "Pain-Relieving Therapy" and "Surgical Thread" for self-healing.

She should be able to recover to Minor Injury without any issue.

Unlike Ren Suo, game characters had almost no restrictions when using abilities; it seemed like each of them had an inexhaustible Qi Cyclone. Thus, Spells that were very difficult for Ren Suo to use could be easily executed by them.

Hmm, in this regard, Ren Suo had great Potential and a lot of room for development…

Ren Suo looked back at the screen where Nameless had now killed the owner of 'Demon Manor' and finally passed this level.

When he drew "Great Despair", Ren Suo knew he had to pull out all the stops, but he hadn't expected that he would have to use every method at his disposal, except for his ultimate trump card.

Lin Xianyu's Level 2 Bond Ability "Storm Control" combined with Yu Kuangtu's Level 3 Bond Ability "Flame Overlord" produced an extremely violent effect and could be used as a basic Attack method.

However, because of "Great Despair", Nameless initially had to face more than a dozen enemies, and her Movement Speed was reduced by 30% because her calf was bitten, so she was quickly battered into Serious Injury.

In this situation, Ren Suo could only take a desperate chance. He first drew all enemies to a corner, gathering them together.

Then Ren Suo equipped Nameless with "Ghostly Rapid Step"—he dared not equip the "Mage's Death-Defying Feather" for her, considering that Nameless was already seriously hurt; using it might cause her to fall apart after teleporting.

After Nameless broke out of the encirclement, Ren Suo equipped her with "Demon King's Descent" and used "Demon King's Descent - Imperial Edict"!

The negative emotions Ren Suo had collected over the past few days with the "Demon King's Descent" Bond Ability were instantly consumed by one-twentieth, used to strengthen Nameless's next Spell!

Nameless's next Fire Fist caused a huge fiery deity shadow to appear behind her. As Nameless moved, the fiery deity shadow also threw a punch toward the gathering place of the monsters, achieving a map-cannon-level effect and successfully annihilating the enemies in one fell swoop!

Then, without hesitation, Ren Suo switched Nameless back to "Ghostly Rapid Step," and with a few jumps, she was in front of the last enemy, obliterating them with a single punch!

Under the Moonlit Night, a beautiful girl, like an elf, stood in the majestic bedroom, her body covered in blood, her fists ablaze—both artistic and violent!

It's about time to find her a weapon… Ren Suo thought, switching to Supreme Supreme's perspective.

Supreme Supreme: "The path of salvation has always been rough and long; may this trial grant you some growth, and your Senior Brother Yan San's help will not have been in vain."

Then switched back to Nameless's perspective.

"Yes, I shall heed the teachings of the Immortal Venerate and thank Senior Brother Yan San for his assistance!"

Ren Suo glanced at the livestream's barrage. Good, everyone believed that the Immortal Venerate's not stepping in this time was to test Nameless, and that the earth-shattering Fire Fist Nameless unleashed at the end was with the help of some non-existent Senior Brother Yan San.

Ren Suo had put a lot of thought into letting Nameless use her "cheats" in a scientific yet reasonable way; after all, the act had to be believable to everyone.

In livestreaming, acting is the most important—your acting skills have to keep up.

At this time, the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair said, "The girl killed the demon of Demon Manor and discovered that the people of the manor had mutated into monsters because the Manor Owner sensed a vicious and desperate Force from an art piece from East Africa.

A Wizard unearthed this Force for the Manor Owner and bestowed it as a curse and a reward upon the bodyguards, ordering them to hunt nearby civilians to nourish the art piece, for the Manor Owner to ultimately absorb.

Having ended the fate of the Demon Manor, the girl obtained five Seeds of Destiny and found an ancestral weapon with magical powers in the manor."

Just as I was thinking about a weapon, here comes a weapon.

Ren Suo contentedly moved the card. Even though he now had two paths to choose from, as it happened, the piece still moved to the card of the Demon series quest.

From "Rainy Night Butcher" to "Demon Manor", it was obviously a series of quests; it was just that Ren Suo didn't know where it would ultimately lead Nameless.

The card was simple: a cloaked Wizard holding a dagger.

"Demon Wizard"

The card transitioned to a real-life image, revealing a brown-haired man sitting in a car, with a cell phone playing Ren Naiser's livestream!

"Following the clues, the girl tracked down the Wizard who helped the Manor Owner, but it seemed the Wizard had already caught wind of trouble and was preparing to flee."

The Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair gave two options: "① Charge; ② Forget it, let him go"

Ren Suo naturally chose to charge, and then it was the exciting time to draw cards: Hope, Hope, Hope, Despair.

The recent Great Despair seemed to have reloaded Ren Suo's luck, and he easily drew the Card of Hope, prompting the Supreme Supreme to say, "One may escape Destiny, but not from the Fairy Palace!"

A glow fell onto the middle of the road. The brown-haired man was unable to dodge in time, so he could only slam on the gas and charge forward!

He was driving a military jeep, powerful enough to dare to crash and kill monsters!

And then—

A Fiery Flame rose.

Two halves of the car flew apart!

In that second, everyone remembered this dainty and adorable girl in the green Elf Princess Dress, who had used a Two-Handed Greatsword to cleave a jeep in two!

Ren Suo, who was holding the controller, was also stunned. The weapon you picked up from the manor was this Two-Handed Greatsword, taller than you?!

However, Ren Suo knew that it was important to focus on the task at hand, and thus controlled Nameless to chop the Wizard, who had not yet crawled out from the car, to death as easily as slicing vegetables.

"The girl killed the Demon Wizard and obtained 5 Seeds of Destiny.

The Grudge Spirits hunted by the Demon Wizard were liberated, and they smiled as they wished the girl a smooth journey."

The rewards from this card were 5 Seeds of Destiny and Recovery, quite decent.

Ren Suo controlled the piece to move towards the next card.

This time, the card was still from the Demon series quests, but it was a scenery card.

In the card, a scar was flagrantly blossoming across the earth.

"Despair Rift"

The Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair spoke softly, "Having learned from the Wizard that the power of the art piece came from somewhere in East Africa, the girl made her way to the East African Continent."

The card depicted the starry night sky over the African continent. From such a high vantage point, Ren Suo could clearly see the canyon stretching into the distance like a terrifying scar on the Earth.

"This is the origin of the art piece's power. The power of Despair is fermenting deep in the canyon. If left unchecked, it will undoubtedly cause greater disasters in the future, emitting a scream that lures Living Beings towards the Abyss..."

Before the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair could finish, Ren Suo immediately had the Supreme Supreme make its presence felt: "Let Despair fall into Silence from this day forth."

Just then, the night-filled Rift Valley in the imagery stirred.

The quivering ground cracked inch by inch, and river water recklessly flowed into every fissure created by the collapsing earth.

The slumbering animals frantically fled, their cries blending into a chorus within the night.

Beneath the stars and moon, the earth trembled mightily.

The East African Rift, known as Earth's scar...was expanding and splitting!

Ren Suo was flabbergasted. Wow, this show of power seems a bit over the top.
