"Ah, utterly detestable!! Booked full again? Don't these dog players ever work? What good are you parasites to society?"
Somewhere on Mars, a Green Titan player logged in and immediately tried to book a mentor, only to be told he'd have to wait six hours. He instantly flew into a rage!
Apart from the Chief Instructor, all the warrior training mentors in the game had to be booked in advance. Usually, a mentor could only teach thirty students at a time. According to the mentors, the teaching quality would decline if they took on more.
So, anyone wanting a guidance session had to book, and they could only book with players of the same progress level.
At first, many players were puzzled by this rule. With so many people in the base, wouldn't there be a shortage of mentors?
But it turned out there were enough, because the content of that one-hour session would take you two or three days to fully digest, not counting your time spent mining!
The AI would automatically save recordings for you to study in your free time. Many players usually applied for a second session only after four or five days. Players like him, who could apply every two days, were veteran players with thousands of points.
But his ranking was always stuck outside the top ten!
This player was called: Dog Waist. He was originally a Green Titan player as famous as Liver Emperor. In the game, everyone gave him face and called him Dog Bro!
But his status had declined recently because he had overdone it with the grinding some time ago, ended up in the hospital, and was overtaken in points by Little Fairy with Athlete's Foot. As a result, he wasn't selected for that procurement mission!
Watching those guys constantly posting screenshots with grand backgrounds on the forum, Dog Bro couldn't help but resent that he didn't have powerful dog kidneys like his name suggested!
Actually, under normal circumstances, players wouldn't have such problems. Although you worked hard mining every day, your body on Planet D was actually soaking in a Nutrient Pod in the base, in a state of complete relaxation. The fatigue players felt after logging off was just a mental illusion.
But this guy, in his desperate attempt to surpass Liver Emperor, seemed to be risking his life. In the following days, he only logged off for two hours at a time and logged back in frequently, causing his brain to constantly switch between fatigue and relaxation, eventually malfunctioning and causing shock, almost leading to his demise.
This incident was even mocked by the Little Fairy who surpassed him, saying he was courting death by daring to compete with Liver Emperor. Didn't he check the guy's background?
Dog Bro was immediately unconvinced when he heard this and actually went to investigate, wanting to know who this Liver Emperor was. He found out that the guy was a genuine programmer, and the kind of big shot who was bald by 26. He really couldn't afford to mess with him!
After giving up the idea of competing for first place, Dog Bro calmed down and focused on enjoying the game. He would slack off whenever he could at work and didn't care much about points anymore.
But he didn't expect that after the lord returned this time, he would carry out a major reform, directly opening up the channel for professional training, making the points that were originally only used to display rankings extremely useful.
And it was also announced that there would be a large-scale mission later, and players of various races would be selected to cooperate in its execution!
This aroused Dog Bro's great enthusiasm again. Originally, although this game had amazing graphics and perfect details, it was just mining all day long, and after a long time, there would still be some aesthetic fatigue.
But after the mentor training was opened this time, the Green Titan's originally boring mining career instantly became rich. Whether it was the Chief Instructor's strength training, physical training, or other mentors' skill training, it made him feel full of incomparable freshness.
This kind of realism of teaching you martial arts one move at a time cannot be experienced even in some high-quality martial arts games in China!
Moreover, the obvious improvement in the body after training and the sense of progress in being able to skillfully use cold weapons was so wonderful that he, who was reborn with enthusiasm, couldn't wait to stay in the game 24 hours a day!
And the last time he failed to participate in the mission had always been Dog Bro's heart disease, making him worried. This time, he vowed that he must not fall behind again!
However, the process of rushing to the top was not smooth.
In terms of training, as a player who almost caught up with Liver Emperor, he had enough points stored, but the key was time. Since he was hospitalized last time, he was forcibly included in the control list by the Internet Management Bureau, which stipulated that he could not be online for more than eight hours a day, and the game AI was also very cooperative, reminding him to log off quickly whenever it was almost eight hours.
This made Dog Bro extremely inconvenient, especially in the skill training area. Skill training takes a lot of time to practice and digest every day, and after finally digesting it, when he wants to continue the course, he is often prompted that the mentor is occupied, so he has to quickly log off to avoid occupying his precious online time.
But time is so hard to pass after going offline. As a rich second generation who doesn't have to go out to work, he feels like there is nothing to do in reality except spend money. Can't you let me quietly support myself in the game and strive to become a talent?
Alas, what a world...
After logging off, Dog Bro stretched his waist and slowly walked out of his luxurious game pod. Obviously, this player named Dog Waist was not as brave in reality as his name suggested. On the contrary, his face was pale, and his hairline was already at the standard of a thirty-year-old at a young age, which was obviously caused by not having good living habits.
"Eh, honey? You're out so soon?" In the villa, a woman with a very gentle appearance asked with concern.
"Yeah..." Dog Bro nodded and sat on the sofa in a daze. In reality, he was surprisingly taciturn.
Seeing this, the woman suggested, "The weather is so nice, let's go out for a walk. It's not good to stay at the old house..."
Dog Bro: "I don't want to... it's hot..."
"That's why it's good that it's hot!" The woman laughed, "When the weather is hot, the girls on the street wear cool clothes. The streets are full of long legs, it's the best way to beat the heat!"
Hearing this, Dog Bro twitched his lips and turned his head away, saying, "Come on, every time I bring back someone I like, you're not satisfied. In the end, who I associate with is still up to you."
"That's because you have bad taste. Every time you bring back gold diggers."
"But the only thing that attracts girls to your son is money. If I use money to get them, aren't they going to be gold diggers, not virtuous women?"
Speaking of this, the boy looked at his mother's beautiful face and then at the small mirror placed by the sofa, which reflected his ordinary face. He couldn't help but wonder, "Mom, did you have plastic surgery when you hooked up with Dad? Why didn't I inherit any of your beauty?"
"Tch!" The woman spat in disgust upon hearing this, "That's because your dad is ugly, don't blame me. With your dad's looks, I was able to synthesize you into this appearance, my genes are already very strong, okay?"
Boy: "Why did you marry my dad if he's so ugly?"
Woman: "He's rich!"
Boy: "..."
Woman: "Actually, son, you're not bad-looking, at most you just look a bit ordinary. If you could work out your body, you wouldn't be too bad. But you're so young and your body is so weak. You don't look like a man at all. Your dad won't let you hang out with that group of friends, so you stay at home playing games every day. It's really too outrageous."
The boy lowered his head in silence. To be honest, he was a little regretful. When he was fourteen or fifteen, before his body had fully matured, he was taken by that group of pleasure-seeking friends to indulge in sensual pleasures every day, making him look like a thirty-five-year-old uncle now that he was only in his early twenties.
"Oh right, the old man's birthday is in a couple of days. Everyone in the family has to go, and many families' younger generations will also go to offer their congratulations. You be good at home these two days, play less games. I asked the nanny to prepare some tonics for you, so you can replenish your energy. You better also take some time to exercise and make yourself look more energetic, so the old man doesn't give us mother and son the cold shoulder again."
"Ah?" The boy's face immediately turned bitter upon hearing this. The old man his mother was talking about was his grandfather, a retired old military commander with a strict personality. He had always disliked his mother, who was a vase, and himself, who was a spendthrift. He usually avoided him as much as possible. Moreover, there would definitely be a lot of older and younger cousins and some outstanding descendants of the family at the birthday celebration, and there would definitely be comparisons. This kind of occasion was the most troublesome...
Sigh, if only I lived in a game world, even if I had to carry bricks for a lifetime...
