Chapter 549: Major Changes
Li An’an held her phone and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she dialed the number.
“Just face it!”
Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, she was a little nervous.
Her nephew’s familiar voice sounded, “Aunty, what’s the matter?”
Li An’an smiled and asked, “Ping’an, didn’t you tell me that you were a closed beta player in the Nightmare Realm?”
“I-Is the game fun?” she probed.
“It’s quite fun!” He chuckled. “Aunty, didn’t you also get a game cabin for the Legend of Nightmare?”
“Yes!” Li An’an nodded lightly. She turned around and looked at the silver-white cabin behind her.
There was a faint fluorescent light flowing on both ends of the cabin.
The metal surface was carved with beautiful patterns.
Just then, the man’s concerned voice came from the phone, “Then Aunty…” He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking of an excuse. After a while, he said, “Have fun!”
“Call me if you need anything!”
“Okay!” Li An’an felt a little sour.
After she hung up the phone, she walked to the front of the cabin. She stared at the game cabin that looked full of futuristic and sci-fi feelings.
She was thinking about many things.
“Little Ping’an…” she muttered to herself, “you must have suffered a lot in that nightmare world, right?!”
She had just entered the intranet.
Through the intranet, she found some confidential files that she had just been allowed to look at.
Those were files related to the Legend of Nightmare.
These files, which only generals could look at in the past, recorded a strange place called the realm of nightmare.
A lot of people were involved in it, and they had now disappeared.
Most of them who were once thought to be missing were actually very likely to be buried in the so-called Nightmare World.
And that Nightmare World was even more dangerous.
If one was not careful, they would not be able to return.
In short, in the files, the so-called realm of nightmare was described as an extremely dangerous and strange place, but it also had all sorts of fortuitous encounters.
Nightmare World had so-called bloodlines, skills, and equipment.
As long as one survived and completed the space mission, they would be able to obtain the so-called point certificate, which could be used to purchase these things.
An ordinary person could easily become an extraordinary under the help of the space.
“Ping’an…”
“He has been keeping it from me…”
“He probably doesn’t want me to worry!” Li An’an thought.
“I wonder how much he suffered there?” She felt tears welling up in her eyes.
As she walked to the game cabin, she slowly sat down.
“You’re safe!” She became determined. “Don’t Worry!”
“Aunty will protect you!”
“The so-called Realm of Nightmare…”
“No matter how dangerous it is, I will protect you!”
“I will become stronger!”
Thus, she slowly lay down, after which the metal hatch of the cabin automatically closed.
There was a sound beside her ears.
“Nightmare engine activated…”
“Welcome!”
“Nightmare VIP: Miss Lee An’an!”
In a trance, it was as if she had entered a new world and passed through a thin film.
Then, everything was completely different.
Above her head, there seemed to be a rumbling fog that looked like a nebula. There were also many things hidden in it, ready to move.
Then, Li An’an found herself standing on an empty, endless square.
There was no one there.
Instead, there were only huge stone pillars that were connected to a layer of flesh-like tissue above her head.
Li An’an lowered her head and looked at her hands.
They were a pair of fair hands.
Her skin was as delicate as a baby’s.
Beside her ear, there was a mechanical electronic voice asking, “Miss Li Anan, you have entered Nightmare Square…”
“Nightmare Square is the departure hall and trading center of the realm of Nightmare!”
“You can choose to sell/purchase materials here and exchange information with other participants of the Nightmare Game!”
“Because of your identity as a VIP, we have blurred your appearance, language, and other basic features!”
“If you don’t agree, no one can find out your real gender, age, and appearance…”
“You can now give your nightmare character a code name…”
A floating light screen then appeared in front of her eyes, which was like a computer screen.
There was even a virtual keyboard appearing.
Li An’an looked at it and smiled. “Code name?”
“Then call it… Zijin”
The keyboard then typed the name automatically.
She only needed to tap the confirmation button.
She liked this code name, which showed how demure she was in life.
…
After Huang Qin closed the door, he leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. Then, he briefly recalled his life.
He was born in a worker’s family.
When he was young, his father worked in the industrial park and operated machine tools.
Working alone and occasionally working overtime, he could let the whole family live a good life.
However, when he was in junior high school, the industrial park began to fall apart.
One by one, businesses closed down and moved away.
Faced with increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the huge Jiangcheng City had no place for heavy industry.
So, his father lost his job.
Fortunately, both the Datong Party and the Gonghe party quickly mobilized.
One by one, job skills training classes for unemployed workers began.
Federal funds were allocated to give the policy a way out.
So, his father soon found his new job.
With the help of the Datong Party’s Employment Guarantee Committee, his father went to a taxi company and started driving a taxi.
However, when he started his high school, the Internet became popular.
Car-hailing was booming.
Taxi earnings were falling, and his father was getting older.
At that time, his mother was diagnosed with cancer.
All the savings could only be used to treat her illness.
But in the end, she could not be treated.
By the time he graduated, the society was no longer the society of his father’s generation.
Heavy industry and intensive labor enterprises were either bankrupt or had moved to the other side of the ocean.
Metropolitan territory had been transformed into an intelligent, refined, and unmanned environment.
A high school student that didn’t have any professional skills could not learn those dazzling skills.
Even if he drove a taxi, he wasn’t qualified.
He could only deliver takeout and hand out flyers.
In the new era, he had lost the same opportunities as his parents and grandparents.
If he wanted to climb the social ladder, he had to have a degree and know technology.
Unfortunately, those things, even for other university students, required a lot of time to learn.
It was already impossible to become a talent through self-study.
Because the modern society had long been a sophisticated, complex, and highly information-based, technological society that did not rely on individual will.
If everything was normal, he would be locked in the basement for the rest of his life.
Forever can only do take-out, washing dishes, cleaning, security and other services.
The factory did not need him anymore.
Automation and information had replaced the human.
East last year opened a new car factory, the whole plant only has more than 100 people.
But it can produce thousands of people in the past factory to produce cars.
There were no people on the assembly line.
Instead, there were only mechanical arms and electronic eyes.
What the workers needed to do was to serve and maintain these things.
However…
“I finally got the chance!” He held a booklet tightly in his hand.
The instruction manual for the game cabin of Legend of Nightmare.
He finally got the chance to gamble his life.
He walked to the gaming cabin and stared at the inky black gaming cabin.
He couldn’t wait to walk onto the gambling table.
He wanted to gamble for his future!
…
The capital of the Silla kingdom, Pyongyang, the Council of Ministers.
One by one, the well-dressed nobles of the two classes were already seated.
At the center of the council was a screen.
Ambassador Wen Fengming was speaking to the two classes on the screen.
“To sum it up… I can responsibly inform you of a fact…”
“Through the tireless efforts of me and the members of the embassy, with the help of Miss Yin…”
“Our Xinluo has received special permission…”
“Legend of Nightmare will open a branch in our country…”
“It will be used for coordination, transportation, and organization related matters!”
“This branch has been authorized to directly belong to the operation headquarters of the legend of Nightmare, Great Xia, and accept direct leadership!”
The two classes listened and whispered.
Many people’s faces were flushed.
This was not only an exciting matter, but an unprecedented diplomatic breakthrough!
It was well known that the Emperor had always believed that Xinluo was an independent and sovereign country.
Therefore, throughout the generations, the official organizations and enterprises with official backgrounds had always directly set up a Xinluo branch office or branch office in Xinluo.
This was a sign of respect for Xinluo’s independence and sovereignty.
But in the eyes of the Xinluo people, this was a great humiliation!
Independence?
In the hearts of the Xinluo people, it was the same as being expelled from their home and expelling their civilization.
In other words, it was undermining the sovereignty.
Xinluo had never thought that they had any sovereignty.
After Shang, the honor of the Ministers of Han and concubines of Tang would not allow them to have such a thing.
Because once they admitted it, they would be cutting themselves off from the world and their civilization.
They would fire their own people!
They could not do that.
Hence, in Xinluo, they played word games.
Xinluo branch company?
All public reports would never mention the Xinluo Branch Company.
Instead, they would only name it as the first branch of a certain group.
If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to find Xinluo in the brackets.
With that, one could at least comfort themselves that they were not kicked out of their home.
They could still openly use their status as the legitimate son of the Central Plains to guide the country.
They could even openly interfere in the internal and external affairs of the Great Xia dynasty.
Everyone could discuss everything in the world!
Could it be that there were still people who dared to block the way of speech?
Those who dared to do such a thing were definitely powerful officials.
Loyal officials and filial sons could be killed by anyone!
Now, Wen Fengming’s achievements meant that great Xia’s position had changed.
They even allowed Xinluo to have a branch that was directly led by Great Xia’s headquarters.
This meant that Xinluo had probably taken a crucial step!
Moving forward, the king of Xinluo would personally go to the imperial capital to pay respects to the emperor.
After that, the new emperor would accept the title of the Emperor and call himself the king of Xinluo.
Hence, Xinluo became an independent kingdom under the Great Xia Federation system.
The legitimate son of the Central Plains would officially receive an endorsement!
Not to mention, what was this legend of Nightmare?
Everyone was well aware of it, so after a moment of silence, the venue was filled with enthusiastic applause.
Under the leadership of the Honorary Speaker of the Parliament, Jun Li Ge, all the representatives stood up and cupped their hands towards Wen Fengming.
“Wen Fengming’s contribution will benefit the future!” Even the two classes who did not like Wen Fengming could only pinch their noses and congratulate him in unison.
There was nothing they could do.
Currently, Wen Fengming had accomplished something that the people of Xinluo could not achieve for the past 300 years.
He was thus the hero of Xinluo!
Moreover, the fact that he was able to accomplish this meant that he had already obtained the approval of Great Xia.
No matter how much the two classes did not like it, they had to endure and accept it.
This was the will of a great nation, which was unstoppable, and there was no going back on it!
Whoever dared to oppose it, the prosecutor of the Xinluo Procuratorate would appear at his door tomorrow.
Amidst the applause, Wen Fengming humbly bent down and said solemnly, “I dare not claim credit…”
“This is all thanks to Miss Yin, so I would like to be bold and ask the representatives of the ministers and doctors to give Miss Yin Mingxiu a honorific title…”
This was naturally within the meaning of the question.
There had been a 3,000-year-old tradition in Xinluo.
For Xinluo, in the past 3,000 years, the basic trend was always to worship the son of heaven and worship whoever was the son of heaven!
Currently, a woman from Xinluo had become a bridge linking the relationship between the two countries.
Naturally, there was nothing that the doctors were unwilling to do.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Yin Mingxiu’s surname was Yin, they might even have supported her to become the emperor of Xinluo.
After all, even a fool knew who was standing behind Yin Mingxiu?
Young Master!
That was someone that even great Xia had to curry favor with and curry favor with.
Thus, after a short discussion, the Xinluo Official Council collectively decided to confer Yin Mingxiu the title of Qing Ruler and report it to the royal family for confirmation.
Reality proved that the Xinluo People’s choice was extremely correct.
When all the countries in the world began distributing the legend of Nightmare’s gaming cabins, a huge wave had already appeared within them.
Just as the people of the new kingdom had confirmed Yin Mingxiu’s title…
The King of the three Buddhas and Qi, Ma Ji, announced his abdication.
On the surface, the reason was that he admired the Buddhist dharma and had no interest in the affairs of the country, so he abdicated and concentrated on honoring the Buddha.
But in reality, this was a palace coup.
The three Buddhas and the transcendent being couldn’t stand it anymore. They were dissatisfied that the royal family didn’t actively fight for it and didn’t get any results.
In addition, they heard about what happened in Xinluo.
They took advantage of the night to force Ma Ji to abdicate. At one point, someone even put a knife to Ma Ji’s neck.
Under the situation, he had no choice but to abdicate and become a monk.
Ma Ji didn’t have any children.
Therefore, the three buddhas and the transcendent being had a fight over the successor of the royal family.
For a time, it would be difficult to calm down.
However, there were major changes to the throne of the Ceylon Kingdom.
The old king, Zheng Lu, announced his abdication on the grounds that he was old and sick.
After he shaved his head and became a monk, his picked a dharma name, which was Xinyuan.
The Princess of Ceylon, Zheng Manjing, became the queen under the support of all the officials.
