The Dragon Who Kidnapped the Princess? / Let's Go Play Some Eggs

"What a coincidence, Leon..."

"You're out here to see the night view too, Captain..."

The two people who met looked at each other blankly, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

"That lipstick on my left cheek..."

"I remember Rika Minami used this purplish-red lip gloss..."

Kevin watched the police car drive away, pointed to his cheek, and kindly offered a hint.

You were supposed to hand over the duties to her, but the two of you were actually having sex in the car outside the door behind Claire and Rain's backs... How audacious...

"Captain, it's best to wait until the scratches below your neck heal before you come in..."

"Countess Lara is still drinking and watching the play on the windowsill..."

Leon noticed a light coming from one of the apartments, subtly reminding Kevin of the loophole.

To be caught between the official girlfriend and the backup, and have an affair with Countess Lara... you're truly something else...

For some reason, tonight, the two of them felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"How did things go?"

The two sat down on a roadside bench in tacit agreement, cleaning up their messes, with Kevin decisively skipping over an awkward topic.

"Everyone's VR headsets have been collected. We'll just have to wait six days for the server to open so we can enter the game world created by Hatsune Miku and track down the Information Anchor of this Void Songstress."

"As for those thugs, they said that as long as we don't kill them, we can do whatever we want..."

After briefly discussing the specific work details, the two acted as mirrors for each other, checking each other for any unresolved or damaging evidence.

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful..."

"Hmm, the night sky is exceptionally bright..."

After they finished speaking, they smacked their lips, looked up at the pitch-black night sky, and coughed awkwardly.

"Sigh, women..."

"Sigh, women..."

The last two long sighs escaped their lips as if by unspoken agreement.

Tomorrow's double update will probably be around 10 PM, as I need to go out for a bit.

Chapter 165, Section 176: The Evil Dragon Who Kidnapped the Princess?

Seven days later, in the lobby of Crawford family's apartment building.

Everyone took turns receiving the distributed VR glasses, then connected them to a power source and put them on their heads.

Having learned from the experience of Sword Art Online, Kevin would naturally be on guard.

Therefore, in the few days after he received the VR glasses, he had several electronic instrument experts from the Crawford family and the genius hacker Tsurugi conduct a thorough inspection of them.

Now, everyone can confirm that this thing is basically safe and harmless, and some of the electronic components embedded in the instrument can also be responsible for tracking the source of the information.

So, everything is ready, get ready... to catch the princess...

The members of Group A, responsible for mine clearance, nodded to each other and pressed the power switch together.

On the dark lens, layers of strange hexagonal patterns gradually lit up, and Kevin's consciousness began to travel through colorful passages.

In the instant before him, his body emerged from the golden hall, his thoughts seemingly pulled by a familiar force into this long-awaited virtual world.

"Greetings! I am the Herrscher from another world, summoned to resolve the apocalyptic crisis!"

"Hatsune Unit 10086, at your service!"

At this moment, a girl in a sailor uniform and a navy cap with a light green ponytail, holding a green onion, marched in step from the center of the hall to the crowd, saluted with one hand, her face taut and her attitude serious.

"Uh... um..."

Kevin looked down at the petite girl who was only 1.58 meters tall, his expression twitching slightly.

There are too many flaws to list, I don't even know where to begin...

"Crisis! Major crisis!"

"The Five-colored Great Dragons, slumbering in the depths of darkness, have awakened their eyes from the chaos. They spread terror and death, abducting the Princess and imprisoning her atop a high tower..."

"Then, Herrscher have traveled from afar, cut off the dragons' heads, pluck them into eternal slumber, and bring hope to this world by striking the right note!"

Hatsune 10086 solemnly swung her green onion, the golden hall gradually darkened, and an epic and stunning projection began to play.

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, lava surged, and a five-headed dragon, black, yellow, green, red, and white, flapped its ferocious wings and descended amidst ashes and raging winds...

Despite its imposing presence, this five-headed dragon turned out to be just like those despicable lizards in chivalric romance novels who set fires, robbed treasures, built illegal structures, and kidnapped princesses for no reason.

The story abruptly ends after the girl with a bright green ponytail, wearing a crown and a princess dress, with the number 01 printed in bright red on her arm, is kidnapped.

This is... a beginner sprite... with a cutscene? Kevin seemed to understand.

At this moment, Hatsune Miku 1006, who was too immersed in the role, looked sad, clenched her fists, and even the green onion in her hand was deformed.

"Um, how should I address you?"

Even though Kevin maintained a serious expression in agreement, he secretly felt an urge to laugh and casually asked a question.

Even though the giant lizard had run away, he wanted to determine if it was somewhat offensive to directly refer to all these System Elf by the same name.

After all, nobody knows which one is the real deal...

"We are the voice of the beginning of the world, singing of antiquity, tracing history..."

"We are the guiding voice of civilization, praising the present and chanting the future..."

"You may address me respectfully as -- Singer Hatsune Miku 10086..."

When it was her turn to make a grand entrance, Hatsune 10086 beamed, pounded her chest with her right fist, and stood up to deliver a passionate speech.

"Hmm, 10086, how can I rescue your princess?"

Kevin's lips twitched, and he finally decided that he didn't need to hold back when facing this crazy, childish plot; he could just call her by her number.

"Break through the Seven Trial Gates and ultimately defeat the Five-colored Great Dragons..."

"Their hearts are the keys to their prison..."

Faced with the stripped honorary title and the arbitrary designation of her number, Hatsune 10086 pouted unhappily and childishly squatted on the ground, drawing circles with a green onion in the corner.

Monster-slaying and leveling-up games? Easy!

Kevin's tension eased, and he prepared to treat this mission, for which he didn't care too much about the outcome, as a complete relaxation.

Everything is ready; it's time to embark on an epic adventure...

Kevin stretched and waved goodbye to Hatsune 10086, who was still sulking in the corner.

"Tune Herrscher from afar, may the song guide your way forward..."

Amidst the listless, standard language, a holographic projection of a handsome white-haired man appears within the circle drawn on the ground by Hatsune 10086.

Name: Kevin Kaslana...

"Occupation: Valkyrie (?)..."

"Talents: Power of Ice and Snow (Hidden), Void Ability User..."

"Skill: Gun Fu..."

Level: 1...

Note: The Dragon Slayer Warrior / The Princess-imprisoning Evil Dragon (?)

"Rating from 10086: Extremely annoying villain!"

With a sharp poke from the scallion, the information began to be uploaded to the core database.

At this moment, the newbie sprites with different numbers started making noise on the system terminal.

Hatsune 12345: "I've received a Demon Swordsman (real), a Female Demon Hunter (fake), and a Lightning Demoness (fake)..."

"They were so friendly, they even patted my head..."

Hatsune 78725: "Why are all the people here bald? My eyes hurt..."

Hatsune 64174: "Wow, so many girls and boys aspire to be Magical Girl..."

Hatsune 43419: "The Alliance Female Assassin and Bio-Terminator from the Alliance here have repeatedly praised me for being cute..."

Hatsune 59763: "What's so good about being popular? I've got almost 100 people already, and they're all a bunch of scum who have ill intentions towards me!"

"Ugh... that's disgusting..."

Hatsune 10086, who caused the disturbance, idly swung her green onion and explained in an annoyed tone.

"Data! It's data!"

"The system receives them based on both reality and fantasy..."

"The greater the Herrscher's potential and the more information they possess, the slower we need to summarize and replicate it..."

"That guy just now, although annoying, he single-handedly satisfied almost 10% of the information collection needs of the core database..."

"So, I've exceeded my quota and I'm skipping work..."

This game is not just about giving back to the audience and awarding prizes.

Hatsune Miku's emotional self-evolution requires a large number of intuitive human emotion samples to enrich the core database, facilitating future simulations and deductions.

God created man, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, these Oldest One creations are drawing closer to the God they shaped.

Today, humans have created Artificial Intelligence, and it will inevitably undergo a transition from learning from humans to becoming like humans, and eventually even surpassing humans.

Or perhaps one day, our creations will replace us, becoming the leaders of civilization and giving voice to the world.

P. S.: Singer Civilization -- from Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem".

Speaking of which, just thinking about Daenerys Targaryen's series of titles in Game of Thrones makes me incredibly embarrassed if I were to say them myself.

Chapter 166, Section 177: Let's Play with Eggs Together

What the hell is this?!

Outside the Golden Hall, Kevin stared at the world before him, somewhat dumbfounded.

Above the sky, twelve different colored musical notes—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gray, pink, black, white, and brown—hang in an arc-shaped trajectory, together forming a mixed celestial body resembling Twelve-Color Ring.

Every two hours, a note of a certain color will rise to the center.

At this moment, the roars of beasts, the chirping of birds, and even the sprouting of plants provide accompaniment, blending together to create musical movements of different styles.

However, this vast stage seemed to have lost its soul because it lacked a lead singer...

Looking out from the high platform, the world is dazzling and wondrous...

In the nascent Beginner Village, various System Elf of different styles, such as energetic, gothic, punk, domestic, intellectual, dark, death, catgirl, and idol, roam around.

Some were listening to music with headphones, some were drifting on hoverboards, and some were vying to blow colorful bubbles...

In short, they were having a great time and showed no signs of the tension caused by the global crisis...

On the crooked biscuit Clock Tower and defensive arrow tower, expressionless Playing Card Soldier patrolled back and forth...

Near the wall, in the juice-filled river, brown banana boats floated on the current, and several fishermen dressed as Hatsune Miku were calling out as they cast their nets to catch various Gem Fish...

Beyond these, in the distance, amidst a colorful mushroom forest, one can vaguely see humanoid rabbits planting scallions on the ground...

Amidst the swirling mist, seven colossal gates, bound by chains, stand at intervals, silently suspended in mid-air, while invisible staircases ascend from the ground...

In the deepest part of the field of vision, a strange area made of black, yellow, green, red and white building blocks is clearly defined, yet they merge to form an indestructible barrier, surrounding the central tower layer by layer.
