Tu Qinyuanhua’s announcement: @All players, come to my and @PhoenixAmongBirds’s wedding ceremony tonight at eight o’clock, the venue is at the Gold Mountain Amusement Park, with Feng Lianzhu in golden attire as our witness to the marriage.
“Why haven’t you logged off yet!” the bound female game character shouted angrily.
“Then why don’t you log off!” the bound male game character retorted.
Feng Lianzhu recognized these two, Sword to the Skies and Lingyun Jiuxiao, quite famous figures in the game. The love and hate between them had been a topic in Bamboo Valley before. Feng Lianzhu had heard and forgotten about it then, but now he remembered and was quite curious.
He switched to his strongest golden skin, flew to the front of the Ferris wheel, and directly controlled the Ferris wheel to let the two of them land. Being in a state of weightlessness was quite uncomfortable even if they were tied up.
Feng Lianzhu also helped the two to untie themselves. He could control everything in the Gold Coin Mountain, as Fat Dragon had shared the permissions with him.
“Finally down, thank you.” Sword to the Skies politely thanked him, and paused upon seeing Feng Lianzhu’s face, “Are you using Feng Lianzhu’s skin?”
“Thank you.” Lingyun Jiuxiao also looked at Feng Lianzhu, showing a hint of confusion.
“Sort of,” Feng Lianzhu did not deny this, simply stating, “I have some connections with the game company, not really a GM, just occasionally roam around the game map, hardly ever playing.”
He hadn’t lied, but that was enough for people to speculate a lot.
“I know the two of you, Sword to the Skies and Lingyun Jiuxiao, you used to have a romantic connection, but you broke up a few months ago.” Feng Lianzhu said.
“Hmph.” Lingyun Jiuxiao scoffed, rolling her eyes at Sword to the Skies.
Sword to the Skies seemed quite embarrassed, “It’s all my fault, but Xiaoyun, you once said whoever took you to the Gold Coin Amusement Park to play and confessed at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, you would agree to him.”
Lingyun Jiuxiao almost summoned her beast to fiercely whip Sword to the Skies, angrily saying, “You call this playing?”
Feng Lianzhu remembered the gossip saying these two had an online romance, very intimate, but it ended upon meeting, straight to a breakup. He thought about his own interactions with Fat Dragon, which had been through system calls and video for a few days without real contact. Whether Fat Dragon had such thoughts, Feng Lianzhu was not sure, but he did.
In the future, he definitely wanted to live with Fat Dragon in the interstellar world, also striving to earn gold coins to build a mountain of gold coins, planting Linke bamboo throughout the Azure Star System, to accompany each other for a long, long time. If, like Sword and Ling, they were intimate online but couldn’t be together in reality, that wouldn’t be good. It’s better to ask clearly, to avoid this problem in the future.
“About the rumors of you two, I’ve heard some, and I’m curious why you broke up upon meeting.” Feng Lianzhu asked.
“Ask him.” Lingyun Jiuxiao kicked Sword to the Skies.
Eh? Weren’t the rumors saying that Lingyun Jiuxiao played a trans character to deceive love and that’s why they broke up? Now it seems like it was Sword to the Skies’ fault? Feng Lianzhu was slightly puzzled.
“It was my fault, I hid my gender.” Sword to the Skies said embarrassingly.
“Are you a female?” Feng Lianzhu looked at Sword to the Skies’ very handsome male swordsman character, which would explain why Lingyun Jiuxiao was angry if it was true.
“No, I’m a male,” Sword to the Skies said.
“Then why…”
Lingyun Jiuxiao couldn’t wait to explain, “He confessed to me, wanting to be romantic partners, then I told him, I play a trans character, I’m a man, he shouldn’t confess to the wrong person. Playing a trans character, I’m straightforward, not the kind to deceive others. And what did he say? He said he also plays a trans character, he’s a woman, I’ve always treated him like a wife, cherishing him during leveling, never letting him die. But when we met, he was a man taller than me, I was so angry…”
Saying this, Lingyun Jiuxiao again kicked Sword to the Skies, left and right, since it’s just a game character, sparing no mercy.
Sword to the Skies didn’t dodge, instead holding his head allowing Lingyun Jiuxiao to hit him, pathetically saying, “I was just afraid you’d reject me, I thought we could cultivate our feelings before I told you.”
“Pah!” Lingyun Jiuxiao spat, “If you were a man, I’d have nurtured our relationship as such; if you were a woman, I’d have doted on you as my wife. You first tricked me into heterosexuality, then you tell me you’re a man. Why didn’t I beat you to death at the start!”
Using hands and feet to vent anger was no longer enough, Lingyun Jiuxiao summoned their beast, Roaring Bear, saying, “Help me beat him up!”
Roaring Bear was a level 50 summon, not very high in level, with only one moveโAvalanche Sit, repeatedly sitting on someone with its mass to win.
Lingyun Jiuxiao… really knows how to choose their summons.
After hearing the experiences of the two, Feng Lianzhu silently nodded and wrote in his mental txt document: The most important thing in a relationship is honesty, unnecessary lies should not harm the feelings between two people.
He reflected on his interactions with Fat Dragon, assuring himself that he had always been honest and direct, and Fat Dragon was the sameโstraightforward and without secrets. Feng Lianzhu, holding a gold coin engraved with a little dragon in his palm, smiled softly.
“You getting beaten up like this, just log off already. If you log off, I’ll beat you up in real life!” Lingyun Jiuxiao also refused to log off, continuing the conflict with Sword to the Skies.
Feng Lianzhu had no interest in managing their relationship. After inquiring, they had no more use to him. With a wave of his sleeve, he pushed the two out of the amusement park, leaving them in front of the teleportation gate, while also leaving a message: “On the day you two reconcile, Feng Lianzhu will invite you to the amusement park for a gathering.”
The two, amidst their unilateral fight, exchanged glances. Lingyun Jiuxiao’s eyes revealed a desire, evident from his game account’s color scheme leaning towards dazzling and colorfulโhe liked new and beautiful maps like the amusement park, striving to be the strongest to explore every map in the game.
Sword to the Skies saw hope, pushed away Roaring Bear with his head, and approached Lingyun Jiuxiao, saying, “Xiaoyunโฆ”
“Get lost! Even if I find another romance, I won’t come here with you.” After Lingyun Jiuxiao spoke, they jumped into the teleportation gate, with Sword to the Skies following suit.
Feng Lianzhu, reflecting on their tumultuous journey, suddenly realized he could investigate some information while waiting for Fat Dragon.
“Voyage into the Void” being an ancient-style game with beautiful characters and a matchmaking god setting, offered some very romantic gameplay, hence many in-game romances, mostly online. He could seek out these people, regardless of whether their relationships were good or broken, to learn from the successful ones and prevent issues seen in the failed ones.
It was a good plan. Feng Lianzhu tapped his right palm with his left hand, summoning the GM.
After transferring battleship technology to the game company, the company had provided a contact method for future communication, now being partners.
The communicator was in the Gold Coin Amusement Park. Feng Lianzhu pressed the call button, waiting for someone to come.
Soon after, a plain-looking man with glasses arrived in the game: “Great, great god, do you have any instructions?”
Feng Lianzhu looked him over, knowing he was the lead of the Star War game and “Voyage into the Void” project team, with quite extensive permissions. He said, “I want a list of all romances since the game’s launch, marriages and divorces included.”
“Huh?” The man with glasses was stunned.
Feng Lianzhu glanced at him, saying, “Don’t ask why, it’s useful. I’ll exchange it with a model diagram of a highly advanced technological planet.”
That planet, naturally, was Eimiral Star, well-known to Feng Lianzhu.
“Deal! I’d even give you the matchmaking god system!” The man with glasses didn’t ask why, immediately agreeing.
“No need for the matchmaking god system, I just want the list and game location coordinates,” Feng Lianzhu said.
Both got what they needed. The man with glasses couldn’t help but start examining the 3D model diagram of Eimiral Star, pointing to the two suns surrounding it, saying, “This planet has two suns?”
“Yes,” Feng Lianzhu replied, “It’s known as the Evernight Star, also has three moons, the interstellar world has it all.”
“This is fantastic!” the bespectacled man exclaimed excitedly. “My previous design for the Star Wars map was too simplistic. I modeled every planet after Earth, which was quite sloppy. It can still be changed! I’ll work overtime tonight to redo it!”
As he muttered to himself and exited the game, Feng Lianzhu looked at his nominal father with a gaze full of affection.
To his knowledge, the bespectacled man had already started wearing a wig, pretending not to be bald. It must be hard on him and the mothers.
However, Feng Lianzhu was not concerned about his parents’ overtime, hair loss, or disputes over overtime pay. He needed to learn about emotions.
He briefly scanned the list and saw a familiar name – Panlong-Xiao Nie.
Feng Lianzhu raised an eyebrow. He remembered that he was currently equivalent to a level 90 boss, but what if he included the Black Scale Arrows on his hair?
That was the Dragon’s Power shared with him by the Fat Dragon, infinity plus one. The leader of Panlong might not be his match, right?
And this person… Soaring to Three Thousand Miles also had a failed romance, ah no, three failed romances, it seems. They must have quite some experience.
“System, can I temporarily prevent players from logging off?” Feng Lianzhu asked.
ใA 1-minute lag deducts 100 points.ใ
100 points, quite cheap! The system seems to be biased towards him, Feng Lianzhu nodded in satisfaction: “Then I’ll invite some players to play in Bamboo Valley.”
–
Three months later.
Soaring to Three Thousand Miles: F*ck! When will this end? GM, come out, did the game company introduce a new gameplay for punishing the faithless? The boss is Feng Lianzhu, why does he keep capturing people over and over again!
Tu Qinyuanhua: Punishing the faithless, huh… Peng God, how can you have the nerve to mention being captured repeatedly? I’m embarrassed just hearing about it.
I’m Not Panlong: Speaking of our leader… forget it, there’s no Panlong in this world anymore. That Golden-clothed Feng Lianzhu is even scarier than Round-cut Feng! Round-cut Feng at most beats people up, but Golden-clothed Feng Lianzhu tortures both physically and mentally. After Panlong-Xiao Nie returned from the Golden Coin Mountain Amusement Park, he could only say, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have been two-timing from the start, if I hadn’t two-timed, I wouldn’t have been tortured by Feng Lianzhu, if I hadn’t…”
Celestial Maiden Setting Off Fireworks: Enough, enough, your leader has been repeating this sentence on the paid loudspeaker for a whole day three months ago, I’ve memorized it, no need to repeat!
Love is What: @Phoenix Among Birds, seeing a jerk being punished by the justice ambassador, feels good, doesn’t it?
Phoenix Among Birds: Only if I care would I find it satisfying. If not, I just find his spamming annoying. And I think Golden-clothed Feng Lianzhu is not a boss for punishing the faithless, but rather a guardian of love.
Da Ming Bai: How so?
Tu Qinyuanhua: @All Players, come to my wedding with @Phoenix Among Birds tonight at eight, at the Golden Coin Mountain Amusement Park. The officiant will be Golden-clothed Feng Lianzhu. [Blushing]
Sword to the Skies: What’s the situation? Where’s the matchmaker?
Lingyun Jiuxiao: Look at them, then look at yourself. Sigh, why haven’t I found someone to propose to at the amusement park yet.
Author’s Note:
Feng Lianzhu: I’ve finished learning, time to return to the stars and teach the Fat Dragon.
