Chapter 285: Hypocritical Reality
The martial arts conference was obviously an imitation of some hot-blooded youth manga, which had set up a temporary arena.
The prize was a figurine, which was said to be worth 100,000 yuan in cash.
People nowadays were really too rich.
In the arena was a strong man with a full beard, cosplaying as an orc. He had already defeated nine opponents, and if he defeated Mcgee, he would be able to take the figurine home.
Because he felt that Mcgee’s actions just now had stolen the limelight, he issued a challenge to Mcgee. “Little Guy, come up. I want to fight with you.”
Although it was a martial arts tournament, it was organized by anime lovers themselves. Naturally, b.l.o.o.d.y conflicts were not allowed.
Seeing the bald man’s provocation, the organizers stepped forward and stopped him. “You can’t threaten your opponent.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Mcgee forced a smile. Since he had already signed up, he had to give it his all. This was Mcgee’s creed.
There was no Dragon Slaying Sword or Imperial Dragon Armor.
There was no need for that either. Mcgee walked onto the ring and made a ceremonial gesture like in the movie.
The other party clearly did not put Mcgee in his eyes. He walked over with one hand.
“You’re too eye-catching. I’m going to teach you a lesson.”
However, after a second, he was pressed onto the stage by Mcgee and begged for mercy.
It seemed that the attributes that the system had increased for him were still useful in the real world.
Mcgee easily took care of the ringmaster, making the spectators below the stage laugh.
“One more time, one more time.”
The people who came up to challenge Mcgee were also defeated by Mcgee within three moves. The difference in strength between him and the other opponents was too great.
He quickly received the doll that was about the same size as the one provided by the organizer. He asked, “Do you want to bring it back yourself, or do you want us to send it to your home later?”
“Home…”
When Mcgee went to the familiar world, he had already forgotten his memories from real life.
He did not have any money from the real world, nor did he have any relatives in the real world.
Seeing Mcgee’s silence, the people below joked, “It seems that the saying that superheroes don’t have a home is true. The main character’s parents have to die.”
The audience burst into laughter. Although this joke was a bit excessive, it did give Mcgee a way out.
At this time, the little boy who took a photo with Mcgee also appeared in the crowd.
“Big brother, you’re amazing.”
Mcgee picked him up and asked, “Do you like this figurine?”
“I do.”
“Then I’ll give it to you.”
Mcgee turned around and asked the host, “Can I give it to someone else?”
…
In the evening, Mcgee sat alone in the square and watched the sunset.
He was filled with emotions.
Seeing the child beside him playing happily with the pet dog, he also missed his Little Spirit Fox.
“Looks like it’s not easy to get used to new times.” Mcgee exhaled.
He did not know if Kidd had stepped into the world of the portal, or if he had returned to reality.
He swept his gaze across the gloomy atmosphere in his heart and stretched.
“Life still has to go on. I’ll just start over as I did in the world of familiars.”
However, there was a sudden earthquake.
Moreover, the intensity of the earthquake was not low. It lasted for a very long time.
Even Mcgee could not stand firmly, let alone an ordinary person.
In the end, the earthquake subsided. A pa.s.ser-by held a cell phone and let out a foreign voice.
—
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and storms were becoming more and more frequent. The end of the world was coming.
Mcgee picked up the cell phone from the ground and looked at the news inside…
“Big brother, that’s my phone. Can you give it back to me?” A little girl got up from the ground. The earthquake just now made her lose her balance. She fell down and her phone fell out.
Of course, Mcgee did not have the bad habit of s.n.a.t.c.hing things from children. He handed the phone to the little girl and smiled.
Then her mother appeared and looked at Mcgee with grat.i.tude.
“What’s wrong? Have there been a lot of earthquakes recently?”
“Yeah. I don’t know what’s going on. Since the beginning of the year, there have been disasters all over the world,” the girl’s mother said worriedly.
The big screen in the square showed an advertis.e.m.e.nt to comfort pa.s.sersby. “Don’t be afraid, everyone. The epicenter of the earthquake is far away from us, and the strongest earthquake wave has already…”
Before he could say the word ‘past’, another strong earthquake came.
This time, it was even stronger than before. Even Mcgee had to lie on the ground and watch the surrounding buildings collapse.
At this moment, the system in his mind sent a notification.
[Detected a life form that doesn’t belong to this world.]
[Activating erasure mode.]
What? Could natural disasters be related to the system?
[Hey, can anyone hear me?]
It had been a long time since Mcgee had spoken in the system’s world channel. He wanted to see if he could contact someone else in the world channel.
Ling Er: [Brother Mcgee? Where have you been all this time?]
Qi Wei: [You didn’t even say a word when you left?]
However, how could there only be two people replying to him on the world channel?
She did not expect him to bring the system back to the real world. It seemed like the system would not leave her.
However, the system had a strong possessiveness. It even wanted to take over the planet that Mcgee had lived on.
[I’m telling you, I’ve returned to the real world.]
Ling Er: [That’s great. Don’t return to the familiar world. This place has changed a lot…]
[Big brother Mcgee, you have to live well.]
Mcgee did not know how long it had been since he returned to the real world. Why?
It felt like the two worlds had met with disasters at almost the same time.
[Did you encounter any danger? Also, where’s Kidd?] Mcgee was a little anxious. The earthquake had finally stopped.
However, the surrounding buildings had all cracked. If it were not for the high-quality requirements, they would have collapsed by now.
[I don’t know. Brother Kidd left the Alliance on the same day as you. He never came back.]
Qi Wei: [Have you encountered anything strange in the real world?]
Mcgee: [?]
[How do you know?]
Qi Wei: [After you suddenly disappeared, the system lost its effect. Our subdued beasts suddenly went crazy and attacked us.]
Mcgee: [What!?]
Qi Wei: [Just as you thought, your subdued beasts were too strong. Because of your departure…it was as if they had entered Blood Moon mode.]
[Then, they started a ma.s.sacre in the Alliance. We barely managed to escape.]
Mcgee: […But How did you know that there were disasters in real life?]
Qi Wei: [I’m afraid you’re not going to the real world at all.]
[I found a map of the portal on the ground with a fake mask on the back.]
Hearing Qi Wei’s words, Mcgee began to look around. The crowd around him began to disperse…
A familiar figure appeared in front of him.
“I heard you’re looking for me?” Kidd looked at Mcgee with a smile, no longer showing respect on his face.
“Kidd, you better explain to me what’s going on.”
“Okay, but you gotta put that sword down.” Kidd smiled confidently, “But it’s okay if you don’t. You can’t beat me here.”
