54: Chapter 54 An Unexpected Event
Afterward, Li Mumu bid farewell to the media and took Li Youqian's private jet directly back to Canghai City.
Feeling a bit bored on the way home, he took advantage of a spot with a signal to log into the game "Yuan Shen." Not long after coming online, he found that his "Hubby," Du Longzuan, was online and had sent him a message.
Du Longzuan: "Where do you live? I have something to discuss with you."
Li Mumu sent his home address to her without any defenses. Previously, he hadn't wanted to meet because he was using a cross-gender account, thinking there was no point in two men meeting. Now it was different; Du Longzuan was also using a cross-gender account. A meeting between two cross-gender players—wouldn't that just be like a meeting between a male and female netizen?
He felt a slight sense of anticipation.
For example: what did the other person look like? Was she pretty? What style of girl was she—a Loli, a Mature Beauty, Scheming, or a Tsundere?
Hahaha... would it be a "disaster upon meeting"?
After all, Li Mumu was quite confident in his own looks. Ever since he grew to 1.8 meters in high school, he had received several love letters every day at school. Although most of those who sent them were "dinosaurs," there were occasionally some demure and pretty female classmates.
It was just that... Li Mumu was quite cautious regarding relationships, so even though he was fairly good-looking, he had never dated anyone in all these years.
However, during the time Li Mumu was on his way home,
The news about the Ancient Tomb King's battle continued to ferment step by step that evening, eventually dominating the trending headlines across the entire internet.
Ranking third in popularity was "The Mummy Attack: A Coincidence, or a Long-Planned Conspiracy?"
This trending topic had over ten thousand comments.
"It's definitely a conspiracy. Those bastards from the Tianzhu Kingdom are trying to subvert our Huaxia Divine Kingdom. How can we T-M-D tolerate this?"
"Never forget national humiliation; our generation must strive for self-improvement."
"Damn it, who's coming with me to start a war on the Tianzhu Kingdom's forums?"
"I'm in."
"+1."
Under this trending topic, most were young people, each filled with righteous indignation and boiling blood, heading to foreign websites one after another to condemn the Tianzhu Kingdom.
They even started a flame war, with neither side backing down, agreeing to settle it at the Global University Professional Competition—whoever loses must apologize across the entire internet.
A challenge was issued, and oaths were made!
Ranking second in popularity was "We Told You to Reach Gold, Not to Reach Gold at Eighteen!"
"Holy crap!!! Gold at eighteen... that's... T-M-D too badass, right?!"
"Comparison is the thief of joy. I'm sixty-eight years young and still hovering at Silver 5."
"Uh~~ calling sixty-eight 'youthful' is a bit much. To be precise, it should be called an advanced age!"
"That's not important. What's important is the age of eighteen. Do you know what the concept of eighteen is?"
"Of course I know. The first person in history, Great God Ye, reached Gold at nineteen; Yun Xingxiao reached Gold at twenty-two; and I heard Ji Lingchen only recently reached Gold..."
"Yeah, but the information released by the officials doesn't show his face. We only know he's called Li Mumu, an Orc Professional, and a first-year freshman at Canghai University."
"Hahaha! It's fine, I'm a security guard at Canghai University. Everyone, please follow my Douyin account. I'll be live-streaming the entrance examination!"
[Follow] +1+1+1+1...
A young genius—who wouldn't want to catch a glimpse of his style?
Finally, ranking first in popularity was "The Return of the Divine Doctor."
Initially, netizens were completely baffled by the title and criticized it one after another:
"What the hell? Why is a novel on the trending list?"
But once they clicked in, the main content was a screenshot of a Gold 1 attribute panel. The Spirit attribute column was specifically boxed in red, with an attached caption:
"After a thousand years, a Divine Doctor has reappeared in Huaxia!!!"
As soon as this news came out, the entire internet was shaken!
"Begging for divine medicine, buying for one hundred million!"
"+1, whoever has divine medicine, buying for two hundred million!"
"Heavens, who exactly is the Divine Doctor?!"
"I don't know. The official certification definitely isn't fake news, but they will protect the Divine Doctor's privacy."
"A thousand years, Huaxia finally has a Divine Doctor. Ancestors, is Huaxia about to rise again?!"
Meanwhile,
In the Huaxia Imperial Mausoleum, the Divine Lord's Residence.
Several dark figures were secretly discussing a matter.
"Divine Lord, Ji Tian verified it personally; the news cannot be wrong. It's just... there's one thing I don't understand. Why announce to the world that Huaxia has a Divine Doctor?"
The Divine Lord, the top leader of the Huaxia Divine Kingdom.
The dark figure called the Divine Lord spoke slowly, "Deterrence! For many years, those foreign Taoties have relied on divine doctors to manufacture pills that can significantly increase a Professional's attributes. They have been eyeing our Huaxia greedily, occasionally launching a Taotie city siege."
"But now... Huaxia has a Divine Doctor and does not fear the Taoties!"
Hearing this, the dark figures looked at each other, their expressions excited. One obese dark figure said, "Divine Lord, do we need to bring the Divine Doctor to the Imperial Mausoleum for training?"
The Divine Lord shook his head. "That would be too conspicuous. Staying in Jiangnan is actually safer. I trust Ji Tian and the others."
"Mhm."
The obese dark figure nodded. "That makes sense. I'm afraid not long after the news spreads, spies from various countries will already be active in the Imperial Mausoleum."
"Hahaha..."
The dark figures burst into loud laughter.
How many years had it been since they had laughed so heartily from the bottom of their hearts?
The laughter ceased, and the Divine Lord spoke.
"Notify Ji Tian to protect the Divine Doctor in secret. There must not be any mishaps."
"Yes."
At this moment, the obese dark figure remembered another matter.
"By the way, Divine Lord, what about Great God Ye's side?"
The Divine Lord felt a headache.
"Uh~~ deal with it as it should be dealt with. What? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere again and want to go find trouble with Great God Ye?"
"No... no... how would I dare? It's just that Great God Ye has gone missing again."
"Let him be. If it weren't for him all these years, the Huaxia Divine Kingdom would have been riddled with holes long ago."
"Mhm!"
Just then,
"Report!"
A secret message came from the door.
The Divine Lord frowned slightly.
"Speak."
"Reporting to the Divine Lord, news has come from Canghai City that the Divine Doctor has been kidnapped and is missing!"
"What!!!"
The scene shifts to one hour ago.
After returning home, Li Mumu took a hot bath, gave his 'little brother' a few strokes, dried himself off, and lay on the sofa to watch the variety show 'The Longed-for Bard'.
As he watched, in less than ten minutes, Li Mumu became drowsy and started having a beautiful dream.
In the dream,
Yun Xingxiao.
WangBaby.
Dongfang Xue.
Chu Xiangxiang.
The two Zhang Sisters.
Hehe...
Six women accompanying Li Mumu—that scene was incredibly stimulating even without looking.
That's right, they were playing Landlord in the dream.
At the final moment,
Wang Baobao said with a lewd smile, "Xiao Mumu, if you win this round, I'll let my best friend be your girlfriend!"
"For real?!"
Li Mumu looked at the remaining cards in his hand.
He was the player.
Small Joker.
Four 2s.
3-4-5-6-7, a straight.
Glancing at the crowd of enchanting and graceful beautiful friends behind Sister Baoer, Li Mumu nodded frantically in excitement.
"Okay, no backing out. Whoever backs out will have a son with no asshole."
"Definitely!"
Wang Baobao: "A Jack."
Li Mumu: "Small Joker."
Wang Baobao: "Big Joker."
"Four 2s, Bomb!"
Li Mumu's momentum was like a rainbow. Looking at the remaining 3-4-5-6-7 straight in his hand, he believed victory was within his grasp and began picking a friend.
Dongfang Xue—too cold, I don't like her.
The two Zhang Sisters—marrying two wives with the effort of one.
Yun Xingxiao—can't distinguish between master and master's wife.
Chu Xiangxiang, hehehehe...
