Darkness descended, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back home in the real world.

Lin Yue got up, grabbed a bag of nutrient solution, and started drinking it. Halfway through, he tossed it into the trash.

After drinking it for several days, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered some fast food.

After that, he browsed the game forums.

The forums were full of posts from foreign game forums, translated and uploaded by players.

Lin Yue read them one by one.

It turned out that in ascension, only the Great Qin Empire had a strict household registration system, which was the region where the Great Xia players were located, while players from other countries had started developing and establishing territories early on, right after entering the game.

At first, they mocked the Dragon Country players, but soon, they experienced the consequences.

In the game, the Europa region was set in the Middle Ages. Powerful lords massacred extensively, while weaker lords could only attach themselves to powerful ones. Downwards, they oppressed their NPC subordinates, leading to countless NPC uprisings.

Some wandering knights and rangers were forced into a battle royale; once captured, they would be subjected to inhumane labor and torture.

Some female players had an even worse fate; due to the game's exit mechanism, they had no choice but to commit suicide.

These players even brought their in-game grudges into reality, forcing female rangers to reveal their real-world addresses, which they then used for blackmail.

In response, governments in some countries began to legislate, but they faced considerable resistance, which was quite tragic.

Even the Uji Empire, one of the Five Great Alliances, due to some social issues in reality, saw two factions in the game clash violently. One side won due to the game's historical background.

However, the losing side, seeing that the game's background was unfavorable to them, brought their grievances back to reality. Because in reality, after years of terrifying population growth, they had a numerical advantage and initiated conflicts first, leading to countless violent incidents between the two sides!

The virtual reality game completely tore off the masks of hypocrisy and pretense from both sides in reality, constantly amplifying the evil in people's hearts, ultimately leading to violent incidents.

As the game continued, who knew what it would evolve into in the future.

In contrast, the advantages of Great Xia's real-name login system began to show. Although there were still some conflicts, at least players in the game didn't dare to go too far.

Because of this, Great Xia players' attitudes began to improve, as they knew that as the game progressed, even a powerful Great Qin would eventually fall. That would be the true time for all heroes to contend, a consensus among all players!

"Master, your delivery has arrived," a sweet female voice chimed.

Lin Yue got up and opened the window. A drone carrying his takeout flew over.

"Hungry to Death Delivery at your service. Please show your pickup code."

"Ding, pickup successful. Hungry to Death wishes you a pleasant meal!"

Lin Yue grabbed the takeout and went back inside. He opened it and was very satisfied.

Crispy Chicken Burger! Fries! Old Beijing Chicken Roll! Cola!

Although fast food is unhealthy, I'm only eating a little, so it should be fine, Lin Yue comforted himself.

Then he wolfed down his meal, while also clicking on a post.

"Ninety-nine Reasons Why the Peacock Dynasty Completely Defeats the Qin Dynasty!" --- From Annan

"I thought for ten days and ten nights and still couldn't understand, how dare you even think of us?"

"Abolish the caste system first, then talk about these things."

"Report!"

"Annan and Lizards are forbidden in the comment section!"

"Exhaust pipes too!"

Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh, because the Annan people's thinking was always out of the ordinary, often producing videos that broke human limits, so Great Xia's game forums completely banned Annan people, forbidding them from being disgusting.

"In ancient times, our country's territory extended all the way north of the Yangtze River. Why is the area north of the Yangtze River in the game Great Xia's? This is a serious conspiracy!

You are seriously distorting history!" --- From the Stick Country

"Shut up, stop embarrassing yourselves here. Everything becomes yours." --- From Fusang Country

"As big as your heart is, so big is your country."

"The person above is wrong, it's: as big as your face is, so big is your country!"

"Come on, okay, north of the Yangtze River is yours, Stick Country, south of the Yangtze River is Annan's. Are we, Great Xia, with five thousand years of history, all swimming in the Yangtze River?"

"Thief Country, shut up!"

Lin Yue was used to this. The Stick Country's reputation on the international stage was already ruined, completely shameless. It seemed that only by beating them hard in the game would they realize who was boss.

"Foolish Great Xia people, we have already started building millions of villages and billions of warriors, awaiting the ravaging of the Fusang Empire during the national war!"

A Fusang Country person posted this on the forum.

Beneath the post, countless Great Xia people began a war of words.

"You little b*stard!"

"Your so-called national war is just a village war. What's there to be proud of? Watch my Great Qin Iron Cavalry slaughter you all!"

"The nuclear bomb in your hometown has gone off, go back and take a look."

Lin Yue watched the post, his mouth never stopping.

In the game, strength is most important; there's no need to pay attention to these disputes.

When the national wars of all countries begin, a good beating will be worth more than a thousand words online now.

Although the date of the national war has not yet been revealed, there will eventually be a chance to compete.

Your online heavy punches are not as good as a real punch to him!

"Xiao Ai, how much does an official game pod cost?" Lin Yue asked.

Exiting every two days was too time-consuming; he had to buy a game pod!

"Master, the game pod has a nationwide unified price of 888,888 dragon coins, and online shopping is not currently supported.

Xiao Ai has found for you that the nearest sales point is on the third floor of Yida Plaza, 1.6 km from you."

The sweet voice rang out. Lin Yue nodded, it was acceptable. His current account still had a balance of over 2 million dragon coins, which was enough.

He would buy this game pod. There is investment to get returns, and he believed he would definitely earn this money back!

Lin Yue wiped his mouth and walked to the bathroom. Long hours of gaming made his legs feel a bit weak and his movements somewhat illusory, which was a drawback of the game helmet.

The game pod, however, had an automatic nutrient solution replenishment function and a full-body timed massage function, so muscle atrophy wouldn't occur. He could stay online for extended periods without having to wake up once a day.

When the in-game holiday passed, his opportunities to log off from the Great Wall Legion would be very few, so buying a game pod was very necessary.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Yue put on his jacket, opened the door, and stepped out.
