~Pfff.
Everyone giggled at the interaction between the 2 brothers, as well as little Lulu's actions.
The day she met Mimo was when they left for their mission, after fighting away those bandits.
They only spoke to Mimo in the mission hall before leaving.
Of course, they first waited for Mimo and his parents to register and get their cards before going.
That way, the little princess could contact him later. And it was only last night that she did.
So what teachings could she have imparted onto him?
It's clear that the boy was this way before she came along, alright?
Also, the pill she gave him earlier had made him break through his mortal shell, and now, he was also a cultivator.
That said, they also noticed his card had changed too.
Mortals or those who first register for missions in the mission hall have slightly different cards than they do.
Mimo's earlier card glowed a pink light and only had things like health status, mission hall, card mode/wristband mode, park map, Park & Security mode information, announcements, and the online chat sections with both mortals and cultivators interacting with each other.
That was how his earlier card was.
But after he became a Cultivator, the card itself changed, glowing blue instead of pink.
And now, several other tabs popped up, shocking him.
This new change gave him access to the great buildings like the gaming hall and whatnot.
Within these few days that Lulu wasn't around, he had been gaming, watching One Piece, and entering several strange worlds that he never knew existed!
So this was what cultivators in Wenji Park experienced?
The difference was too great from his previous Mortal self!
.
Mimo was also very surprised by how powerful Boss Chu, their Town Lord, was.
He happened to see him the other day and had nothing but reverence for him.
At the moment, that was his idol!
Even though he looked calm and expressionless now, his heart was about to explode when he thought that Boss Chu would be here any more from now.
~Grrrrr~~
The deep aroma of whatever everyone seated was eating made their bellies trouble loudly so much that it shocked them.
Even though everyone was shocked that they were so hungry as cultivators, they didn't deny themselves food and hastily used the vouchers they had won after the battle.
Little Lulu made Moyen use 2 of his for Mimo's popcorn and drink, instantly finishing all of Moyen's vouchers.
At first, Moyen didn't fully regret it. After all, it was his blood brother.
But after tasting and drinking, he had tears in his eyes.
The 4 vouchers that he won had just finished like that.
Could anyone be more pitiful than him?
The gang enjoyed their popcorn and drinks while taking seats and watching the Tvs on the right with their earpieces.
And soon, it didn't take too long before they got notifications on their phones from Chu Che.
He was here!
.
"Boss Chu!"
"Boss Chu!"
"Grandpa Fru!"
Instantly, they got up and greeted Chu Che and Old Fru once they spotted them.
Chu Che nodded and noticed a new member in the group, Mimo.
He had seen him just yesterday when he Live streamed a game.
The kid stood beside him amongst the crowd and was the first person he saw coming back to reality.
He answered a few questions for the 10-year-old kid and felt a great wave of satisfaction just talking to him.
Unlike others who quickly got jealous of his handsome face, the kid was steady.
This had already won several good points in his book.
Little Lulu pulled over Mimo and hurriedly moved closer to her favorite brother merrily.
"Big brother Chu, look! I just got a new direct follower. So aren't I great?"
Chu Che rubbed her hair and nodded in agreement, seeing nothing wrong with her words: "Well, you are indeed mighty for choosing him as your direct follower."
"That is, I have good eyes... Just like my elder brother!" Lulu said, puffing her chest out and shaking her pigtails, whipping her hair forward.
Everyone got acquainted briefly while standing in line and waiting their turn... Or rather, waiting for a chance to have all of them go in at once.
And soon, the wait was over.
It was finally their turn!
.
Very quickly, they entered room 2 alongside a few others, making the total number to be 20.
Wait. Boss Chu was here?
Those who went in were pleasantly supposed to notice that Boss Chu was also in their midst.
As for the room, it just looked like an ordinary empty white room with no fixtures or decor whatsoever.
All that stood there was a single machine leaning against the walls close to the door.
Very briefly, Chu Che adjusted the control settings while briefly explaining it to Bho Su's gang, as well as briefly communicating with the rest in the room.
Bho Su and the rest tilted their heads curiously.
"Everyone... Between Easy, Normal, Hard, or 'Do You Wish To Die?'... Which one do you all want to start with?"
"Normal!" Everyone replied in unison as if almost forced.
What a joke!
They would never forget how on their first tries in the Gaming Hall, they had chosen the most difficult settings and didn't even manage to survive past a minute.
The moment they appeared in the strange realms, they were instantly hacked to pieces silly.
From then on, they started at Easy or Normal, working their way up to Difficult.
At least now, they can last for 10 minutes or so with the highest difficulty mode.
They found that even if it was a level they had completed, provided the modes were difficult, it would be like a whole new experience or, as Boss Chu says, gameplay.
They had only managed to survive and advance when in Easy or Normal mode.
Normal mode indeed gave them many challenges, but it was something they felt was within their capabilities.
And the higher the mode, the more rewards they would get.
Everyone quickly opted for Normal mode without even flinching.
F***! They were here to at least survive for long and not die fast, alright?
.
Following that, Chu Che selected the maximum time limit (3 hours), as well as selected one of the 6 possible scenario settings available.
It was funny because each scenario setting had levels just like games, with some having 10, 13, or even 16 levels.
Suddenly, a voice echoed out, making everyone's heart grow tense.
[Settings Chosen. Room Door Locked. Please move to the center of the room... Beginning Simulation in 3...2... 1...]
