Chapter 527: Wave (2)
The order in Cape Town had already returned to normal.
The entire South Kunlun Kingdom had also returned to peace.
The Boer Kingdom had announced that it had given up its independence and had once again submitted to the sacred and holy, n.o.ble and honorable Her Majesty the Queen.
A few tribes in the north who had never submitted to the kingdom had miraculously issued a statement today to support the sacred and holy, n.o.ble and honorable Her Majesty the Queen.
Even in the Kunlun State, such a matter was enough to shock the world!
In the past two hundred years, there had never been a matter in this land that caused all the powerful factions in the entire country to bow their heads without bloodshed.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Legend of Nightmare had suddenly spread from the East, everything that had happened in the South Kunlun Kingdom would have long been spread across the entire world’s media.
Now, because of the matter in the East, the attention of the entire world had been diverted.
Everyone, from transcendent beings to commoners, had their attention taken away.
The transcendent beings naturally understood that the so-called Legend of Nightmare was the Realm of Nightmare.
As for the commoners, their excitement was ignited by the news of ‘five yuan for one nightmare point’!
Five yuan!
It was five yuan!
In Kunlun State, a worker working in a mine for a week might only be paid five yuan!
Even in the Land of Qin, the price of five yuan was equivalent to an hour’s hourly salary for white-collar workers.
Naturally… Everyone was excited!
Unfortunately…
For people outside the world, the difficulty of getting a game room by striking the lottery was comparable to h.e.l.l.
Language barriers, cultural barriers… Had already blocked 90% of the people outside the door.
So, naturally, Shemhyr and her friends began to play with magic art.
They used divine power to simulate the entire population of the South Kunlun Kingdom.
Then, they used a supercomputer to hijack the country’s telecommunications network and dial that number.
In the end…
They realized that they couldn’t get through at all!
After repeated attempts, they finally understood that there seemed to be some unknown ritual on the other side.
This ritual could determine whether the caller was a real individual or a virtual personality/puppet.
When they realized this, both Shariye and Shemhyr frowned.
“It seems that there is a very close connection between the Realm of Nightmare and the East!” Shariye put away his wings and landed on the ground of the palace, looking at the queen who was in deep thought.
The young queen’s face had a profound and shrewd look that did not belong to her age.
“Isn’t this very normal?” Shemhyr said, “When the news from the Realm of Nightmare came from the East, we already guessed that this would be the result!”
Yes!
When the Realm of Nightmare announced that they were going to establish the Customer Service Department of Legend of Nightmare behind the scenes, almost all the forces in Land of Qin immediately realized that the Realm of Nightmare was standing with the East.
Now, they only confirmed this fact.
On the contrary, if the Realm of Nightmare didn’t favor the East, that would be strange!
Shariye furrowed his brows tightly.
Even though he had expected it, he was still terrified when he learned the truth because he had experienced the wonders of the Realm of Nightmare.
The recent changes in the Realm of Nightmare also made him fearful.
Now, the Realm of Nightmare was clearly favoring the East.
To him, this was no less than a nightmare because an existence at his level knew and understood what exactly the truth of the so-called myth invasion was.
It was an extremely dark and cruel truth!
This was because he had witnessed a similar situation with his own eyes.
The things that remained in his memory also told him the fate of the loser!
He said in a deep voice, “I heard that…”
“The Cross Sect also has an inheritance in the East…”
“Its name is Jing Sect!”
“The holy son is called Ye Su!”
“He is a disciple of the supreme G.o.d, San Qing in eastern legend, and an incarnation of Daoist Duo Bao!”
“He is the background of the story of Huahu’s journey to Han Valley in the East!”
At this point, the former King of Angels laughed and asked Shemhyr, “Respected Shemhyr!”
“If the myth of the easterners comes true in the end!”
“I’m afraid that we will become the disciples of San Qing and the lad under the throne of Duo Bao!”
At this point, Shariye laughed so hard that tears almost flew out of his eyes.
However, Shemhyr was indifferent.
“To me…” she smiled and said, “Being the Archangel of the Sun in the Kingdom of Heaven, or as the lad under the throne of Daoist Duo Bao… What’s the difference?”
Hearing this, Shariye fell into silence because Shemhyr was right!
To her, the nature of the matter was the same.
Whether it was the Archangel of the Sun in the Kingdom of Heaven or the lad under Daoist duo Bao, there was not much difference.
They just went from one cage to another cage.
“Besides!” Shemhyr smiled and said, “There’s nothing bad about being a lad!”
“At least, being a lad under a throne, I might still have some of the memories of the past…”
“Maybe I can still remember the civilization that fed and nurtured me!”
“Maybe it would be still possible to win a chance of resurrection for our civilization!”
“Instead of…”
“Becoming the tool of his slaughter and the raw material for his soup under the Lord’s throne!”
Shemhyr was an archangel who specialized in conquering and killing in the Kingdom of Heaven.
However, she was not a native angel of the Cross Sect.
Nor was she a creation created by the Lord.
In this era when the Lord failed to wake up and return, she found her past with the help of Shariye.
She was Samasi!
The sun G.o.d of Babylon!
Not Shemhyr of the Kingdom of Heaven!
She remembered her glorious era.
She was once at the peak of her power, and she even defeated the Lord head-on.
Therefore, her people escorted all the believers of the Lord back to her kingdom and imprisoned them.
This was the famous ‘Prisoner of Babylon’ in the history of the Land of Qin.
Unfortunately…
She still lost in the end!
She was defeated in that ancient mythical era and became the captive of the Lord.
Her memory was erased and her divine body was shattered!
Because of this, she knew that if the Lord finally woke up, she would end up in a miserable state!
Therefore, for Shemhyr, she even looked forward to the arrival of the Ye Su era.
They were all dogs.
It didn’t matter who they were.
The important thing was that the conditions there were better.
Without a doubt, the culture and traditions of the easterners wouldn’t exterminate her.
On the contrary, she might even use this opportunity to revive her own civilization under the eastern system.
After all, the East had a very good example.
Buddhism!
Buddhism and Taoism were very well integrated.
Adding another dependent civilization would not be a big deal.
Sheriye listened but did not refute.
He even curled his lips and teased, “If you become a lad… then who will I be?”
He raised his head and looked at the sky above the kingdom.
“Wu Gang who cut down the osmanthus tree in the Guanghan Palace?”
“Or the jade rabbit in the arms of Fairy Chang’e?”
Shemhyr smiled. “Actually, I think if you are interested, you can set your target higher!”
“Huh?!”
“I heard that in the legends in the East, there is a G.o.ddess named Xi in the myth about the moon. She is the empress of the supreme Celestial Emperor…”
“I’m afraid you can’t replace Xi’s position!”
“But what about Xi’s heir?”
“Those who don’t have names or records…”
“If you plan well, you might be able to take a spot!”
For existences like them, their nature of G.o.ds was already very clear.
Most G.o.ds were justified by faith.
They were the children of civilization and the shepherds that raised humans.
As Shariye listened, the wings on his back fluttered.
It seemed like he was tempted.
However, Shemhyr knew that this angel of the Moon’s thoughts were deeper than the ocean.
Who knew?
…
Ling Ping’an looked at the broadcast on the television.
“Dear viewers, I am currently in the office building of the Customer Service Department of Legend of Nightmare, Federal Empire of Xia!”
“According to the official notification we just received, as of 4:30 pm today, Legend of Nightmare has already rolled out 10,000 slots for game rooms!”
“According to the official notification, currently, every citizen of Xia has five lottery slots!”
“And citizens of every country in the world have three lottery chances!”
“Gentiles only have one lottery chance!”
“This is because, currently, the production capacity of the Legend of Nightmare’s game room is limited!”
“Regarding this, the royal family’s spokesperson said at the afternoon press conference that the virtual reality game cabin is the most technologically advanced electronic equipment in the world. Not only it is difficult to manufacture, but it is also very difficult to ma.s.s-produce. Most of the components need to be manually adjusted by senior engineers…”
“Therefore, in short term, the production of the game room will not be greatly increased.”
“Therefore, for the sake of fairness, they have no choice but to impose restrictions.”
“There is absolutely no intention of discriminating against gentiles and the people!”
Ling Ping’an looked at the building that appeared in front of the camera on the television.
At the entrance of the building, the armed soldiers had already set up a cordon.
In front of the door, there was a warning sign: National important area. No entry. Violators will bear the consequences!
“Such a big show!” Ling Ping’an smacked his lips and exclaimed, “The game companies are indeed all the same!”
However, this Legend of Nightmare was so strong-willed, so it naturally had the confidence.
Not mentioning anything else, just looking at the television, the road in front of the building, the surrounding square, and buildings were already filled with people.
Then look at those pet.i.tioners.
They were so densely packed that one could not see the end of it.
It was to the extent that there were thousands of police officers maintaining order at the scene.
Meanwhile, various organizations had also arrived.
At the very front were the volunteers of the Federal Empire Great Harmony Society who were holding banners and shouting orderly at the military police in the building.
“Oppose discrimination!”
“All countries in the world shall be treated equally!”
“All are disciples of Confucius, students of Mencius, followers of Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao…”
“On what basis, citizens of the Federal Empire have five chances to draw, while the people of the world can only have three!”
“Please come out and explain, the person in charge of Legend of Nightmare!”
Ling Ping’an, who was in front of the television, felt his body tremble when he heard the shouts of at least several thousand people in unison.
“Indeed, money can move people’s hearts!” Ling Ping’an said.
Now, because of the offer of Federal Empire Central Virtual Reality Technology Management Committee at five yuan, everyone’s attention had been attracted over.
Five yuan for just one game coin?
The attraction was too great.
Therefore, the Legend of Nightmare in virtual reality games had been increasing in popularity since morning.
Up until now, Wechat Read and all the platforms had fallen.
All the trending topics were discussing this matter.
5 yuan for one point certificate…
Considering that the median household income in Federal Empire last year was less than 70,000 yuan,
In other words, as long as one could steadily earn 10,000 point certificate from the Legend of Nightmare every year, the income of the people of each country would be able to enter the Xia era in minutes.
As a result, Ling Ping’an heard that because of this matter, all the parties in the world that were at war were prepared to stop.
It was understandable.
After all, people would die in wars.
Moreover, they might not even get any benefits.
Compared to that, playing games was much better.
They could earn money while lying down!
Since that was the case, the soldiers naturally voted for peace without much thought.
According to the news, the South Kunlun Kingdom achieved peace almost instantaneously.
All the representatives signed the Cape Town Declaration.
Then, the South Kunlun Kingdom started a wave of calls from all the people.
This was truly an eye-opener.
It was said that not only the South Kunlun Kingdom, but all the parties in the Tianzhu continent seemed to be secretly negotiating as well.
At the very least, the intensity had decreased by quite a bit.
As a result, there was a joke on Wechat Read that the imperial family of the Federal Empire should award the developers of Legend of Nightmare a ‘Modi Award’.
That was to reward the contribution of this game to world peace.
Other soldiers would subdue the enemy without fighting, but Legend of Nightmare subdued the enemy with the game.
Of course, in all kinds of public opinions, there were naturally conspiracy theories and the coc.o.o.n-like ‘Legend of Nightmare superpower hypothesis’ that Ling Pingan’s eyes had to see.
Many people were certain that the things in Legend of Nightmare could be brought to reality.
If it wasn’t for Ling Ping’an himself had been an inner player, moreover, he was an unbelievably good inner player, he would have believed the nonsense of those people.
All in all, the entire world seemed to have been swept by a wave called ‘Legend of Nightmare’.
On the streets and alleys, almost everyone was talking about the Legend of Nightmare.
Many employees of companies and units were either discussing the Legend of Nightmare or stuck at the point where they were waiting for the eight-hour cooldown period of the lottery. When the time was up, they would make a call.
On both Wechat Read and Weibo, there were many screenshots of the successful lottery messages posted by anonymous people.
Without exception, the comment sections of these people were filled with offering letters from various companies, consortia, and even organizations.
100,000 yuan per month, with cars and apartments.
There were even some people who took out shares as bait.
Therefore, some people complained that they were too poor and might not be able to afford a game room.
He immediately received the news.
Almost all the consortia had offered to reimburse all the expenses of buying a game room!
This really made Ling Ping’an dumbfounded.
It was too exaggerated!
It was so exaggerated that it was almost fake.
However, every time a new wind blew, there would be this kind of emotion.
The capital and the public were all wrapped up by the fanatical emotion and then rushed into the abyss.
Apart from these positive things, official warnings and statements appeared on Wechat Read and various platforms.
The reason was that a large number of scammers started to use the popularity of Legend of Nightmare to extort money.
In just a few hours, the authorities had seized thousands of scammers and obtained hundreds of thousands of reports.
This further proved that the popularity of Legend of Nightmare was overheating!
The scammers had their eyes on them!
Moreover, they had succeeded easily!
Therefore, the authorities had no choice but to announce that other than the number that was specially reserved for the royal family, all other organizations that claimed to be ‘official’, ‘development team’, or similar organizations were all fake organizations. The delivery of the game room would be made by royal commissioners, and before the game room was obtained, no fees would be charged!
At the same time, the official solemnly declared that impersonating the imperial family and using the name of the imperial family was a great disrespect!
Once it was verified, the suspect would be severely punished according to the law!
Unfortunately…
Such a warning was drowned out in a flood of discussions.
As a result, after four o’clock, the official had no choice but to use public authority and order all the platforms to put the official statement at the top of their respective platform.
While watching the television, Ling Piang’an read the news.
Soon, it was five o’clock.
Ling Ping’an was preparing to go downstairs to eat something.
Ding dong…
The doorbell rang.
He walked to the door and opened it. He saw a familiar figure.
Hu Nuonuo.
“Miss Hu, why are you here?” Ling Ping’an asked curiously.
Hu Nuonuo bowed and said, “My grandmother heard that you were also in the capital. She was worried that you wouldn’t be able to get used to the food in the capital, so she specially brought you some local specialties from your hometown!”
She smiled and raised a parcel in her hand.
Ling Ping’an immediately said, “Thank you so much!”
As a foodie, he almost immediately smelled the fragrance in the parcel.
It was a piece of meat.
A piece of cured meat that had been smoked extremely well!
