Chapter 5—translated by Raylight
The Dictator of Life tilted his head to look at the necklace. He seemed a little doubtful as he asked, “Dragon Cross Necklace?”
“That’s right. There are two dragon wings in the center of the cross. It’s obviously Liola’s Dragon Cross Necklace.” By that time, Kaiser had also seen the necklace. However, he just could not understand why the necklace would appear here. Moreover, why had the legendary G.o.d of Creation appeared? Could it be that this was the realm of the G.o.ds, something like heaven?
“If that’s the case…” Kaiser’s expression became serious, and then his eyes lit up with a golden sparkle. He asked eagerly, “O Great G.o.d of Creation, may I please inquire as to where the G.o.d of Prosperity lives?”
The Dictator of Life blinked, not knowing how he should answer such a strange question.
“It’s a coincidence! This is definitely a coincidence!” Feng Lan clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. She yelled, “How could I possibly be the G.o.d of War?! In any case, I should be the G.o.d of Beauty or such!” After saying so, her angry fist smashed down on the table, and the poor table, which had just survived an explosion, let out a tiny little cracking sound.
“Oh…” Feng Long Ming raised an eyebrow.
At that moment, all those who had just been s.n.a.t.c.hing food, quickly exchanged a few looks with each other. They immediately used their mouths to hold onto their own rice bowls, and then lifted up a plate filled with food in each hand. (As for the empty plates, n.o.body cared.) They had such good synchronization that none of them reached for the same plate. Under the blank stares of Kaiser’s group, the poor dining table made endless cracking noises.
Just then, two people and one dragon finally realized that the situation was not looking good. Liola immediately grabbed Kaiser with his left hand, and hugged Baolilong with his right. The instant they retreated from the table, it rumbled, split into two, and fell onto the floor.
Kaiser stared blankly at the table that had produced such a loud crash. This… appears to be made out of metal? He looked at the thick metal table, and then raised his head to look at Feng Lan, who was sitting at the head seat with her face full of distress. Kaiser could not quite believe his eyes and said, “May I ask, is the most powerful profession in your world that of a housewife?”
“Oh, that’s right. A housewife is the most dangerous profession.” Feng Long Ming replied with a serious look on his face, while nodding his head. He even added, “The kitchen knife in her hand is also one of the deadliest weapons. Only the throwing knife in the cute little girl’s hands could possibly match the kitchen knife in the housewife’s hands.”
Kaiser frowned and muttered, “So difficult to understand…”
Feng Long Ming patted Kaiser’s back in understanding and commented, “Don’t worry, normal people aren’t able to understand this. If you don’t understand, it just means that you are normal.”
Does this mean that all those present here are not normal? Kaiser thought as the corner of his mouth twitched.
At this moment, Liola jumped onto the second floor and walked up to the Dictator of Life. The Dictator of Life looked at him with a bit of curiosity. That was because there were few things that he, who was almost omnipotent, was unable to explain. However, the description of the “G.o.ds” that Kaiser had mentioned just now corresponded with the people here. This was indeed something that the Dictator of Life was unable to find an explanation for. It would be too much of a stretch to call it a mere coincidence.
“This necklace is mine,” Liola said to him bluntly.
The Dictator of Life once again returned his attention to the black-haired man. He smiled and shook his head as he replied, “This necklace is definitely not yours.”
Hearing this answer, Liola’s face darkened as he said in a low voice, “It’s mine.”
The Dictator of Life did not feel frightened or angered by Liola’s cold expression. He merely continued to smile. Then, he took hold of the necklace with his right hand and held it out right in front of Liola, who gave him a suspicious glance. He found it a little hard to believe that the Dictator of Life, who had just denied that the necklace was his, would just generously hand it over like that.
However, Liola did not hesitate for long. He immediately reached out to grab the necklace. The moment he touched it, a strange feeling came from the palm of his hand… That was the feeling of not having grabbed anything. Instantly, Liola opened his hand in shock, but the image of the Dragon Cross Necklace was indeed still there. He touched the necklace gently with his finger, but it went through the necklace, as though nothing was there.
Xiao Xiao Lan burst into giggles and shouted loudly, “You can’t possibly grab anything. The Dictator of Life is merely a virtual image.”
“Virtual image?” Liola did not understand this term. His gaze landed on Kaiser below him.
Kaiser raised an eyebrow and explained, “So that’s how it is. It means that this ‘G.o.d of Creation’ is not here in reality. This is just a Maxun that he used to display his own image here, just like a three-dimensional television.”
Liola, who had stayed in Kaiser’s world for a period of time, already knew about televisions. He turned to look at the Dictator of Life and asked, “Where are you?”
“Where am I?” The Dictator of Life’s expression turned a little strange and he replied, “I am here—no, perhaps I should say I am in Second Life. That would be more accurate.”
“Second Life? I am going over there to take the necklace from you.” Liola looked at the Dragon Cross Necklace, and decided on going without a trace of hesitation.
“You are coming over?”
The Dictator of Life gave a laugh, and was about to explain that Second Life was not a “place,” but he was stopped by Xiao Xiao Lan’s words. She giggled as she said, “Alright, alright. We’ll bring you there.”
Feng Long Ming shot Xiao Xiao Lan a quick glance, and the latter winked at him. He started to laugh too. Though he was not exactly sure of what Xiao Xiao Lan intended to do, it was definitely going to be something fun.
“Wait a moment!” Kaiser abruptly jumped up and shouted, “What Second Life? Don’t tell me that we have to die once before we can go there?”
“If we had to die once before we could go, then would there still be any living people here?” Feng Long Ming muttered. However, upon seeing Kaiser’s expression change, and he was even looking at the surrounding people in panic, Feng Long Ming started laughing again. He patted Kaiser’s shoulder intimately as he comforted him, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s just a small game, that’s all.”
A game? Kaiser was completely doubtful. However, once he saw Liola’s icy face, which showed no room for discussion, he could only furrow his brows and slowly nod his head. Anyway, since they had already come to a different world, what could be worse than that?
“If we’re going, then let’s go. Let’s retrieve the necklace quickly and come back. There are more important things to deal with.” Kaiser gave a huge sigh, and could not help but complain in his heart. Shouldn’t your first priority be finding a way back to our world? Why does it seem like I am the only one troubling myself with this problem? Why did I have to end up in a different world with only an a.s.sa.s.sin who doesn’t know how to think, and a young dragon whose brain hasn’t fully developed yet?
“Then, come here.” Xiao Xiao Lan took three helmets and put them in front of Kaiser and the others, as though she was presenting them with treasure. This made Kaiser open his eyes wide as he stared at the helmets. He did not understand the reason why they would need a helmet to go to another place. Could it be that it is a means of transportation?
