Chapter 60

A Storm in the Real World

Waiting online, urgent?

The players were speechless.

All the players on the Internet had been talking about the mysterious disappearance of the guy named ‘Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand’.

He had said that he would do a live broadcast immediately, however it did not happen.

Everyone had speculated that since he had disappeared for an entire day and there was no news from him, he had probably become stuck in the new map and was unable to go offline.

Who knew that as soon as he appeared now, he would start talking nonsense!

Racer of Mount Haruna posted: “More than 100 years? Dude, have you lost your mind? (picture of a black person with a question mark inserted.)”

Top-up more, I’ll chop off your hands posted: “Seven witch wives? I think you have gone crazy! This is not a game of nurturing cute girls in the harem! (sudden change of drawing style.)”

Brainy Tiger down the Mountain posted: “Haha! Do you guys see?! I, a great fortuneteller, has long predicted that with the nature of this game, the new map must be very hard-core. Brothers, this person has gone crazy. Next person! (This is the detailed prophecy post. You can click on my avatar and find the post I posted yesterday. Click to follow me for more surprises.)”

Racer of Mount Haruna posted: “I see. I feel the same way. Back when I had first entered this game and saw the words ‘please evolve your eyes’, I was stunned and went crazy (shaking hands and tears emoticon inserted).”

Haruko loves Learning posted: “This newbie is very scared! Why did the boss of science and technology end up like this? Is it the distortion of human nature or moral decay? Is there something even more hard-core in the new map?”

The players were very lively and excited on the forum, as they began to tease one after another. After all, the hardcore difficulty of this so-called sandbox leisurely game was obvious to all.

Many people had said that this ‘Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand’, the boss of science and technology who farmed and won the second achievement award, had lost his mind. Who knew what kind of blow he had suffered.

After all, only a day had passed, and he was already acting crazy, talking nonsense!

Li Shengjiang froze for a moment and looked at opinions of the public on the forum. Only then did he realize that he had acted in a hurry without thinking. He took a deep breath.

“For me, this more than 100 years are very long. It is much longer than the more than 40 years of my life now. It is giving me the misconception that I am Grantham, the Great Alchemy Lord of the other world, and I have traveled to modern times, becoming the president of a science and technology company.”

It seemed as if the more than 100 years inside the game was the real him. After all, his current modern life of more than 40 years was too short.

It was understandable that people did not believe him, as only a day had passed.

“But I have proof.”

Li Shengjiang quickly posted a bunch of photos he had taken.

The first picture he uploaded was of him in the other world, traveling with a bunch of lively Slimes in the huge woods with lush flowers.

This had stirred everyone on the forum.

“Wow, is this a new map? Did boss go challenge the new BOSS with the Slime race?”

“Boss is finally normal.”

Someone was getting excited.

Li Shengjiang did not say a word. He continued to upload several pictures online one after another.

The second photo was of the streets he photographed when he was in the Witch Freemasonry.

On the streets, there were countless beautiful women in various kinds of sorcerer’s robes, holding wooden staffs. There were also business people in elegant clothes, women with children in their arms, lively fruit stalls and bustling shops of all kinds, as well as a witch of Rose Church who was riding an Alla beast, rumbling across the street.

“Oh? Is this a busy city of the other world? It’s so lively, so exotic, and so real. There are also mounts. This new map is so big. Could it be that there are NPC’s in this new map?”

“Wow! A beautiful sister with a staff in her hand?”

“How can there be people in the new map?! Boss, come out and explain!”

“My mouth is even drooling!”

Li Shengjiang was completely silent as he murmured in his heart, “Hehe, your fault of thinking that I have lost my mind!”

Without saying a word, he had aroused people’s curiosity. He uploaded a photo of a huge bird’s eye view of the Babylon Kingdom. It was a beautiful and magnificent architectural city…

When people clicked on this picture, they were completely shocked.

This was a picture of the ancient sorcerer’s city, which was more exotic than the sandbox city in Assassin’s Creed. It looked exquisite, real, and huge. The picture was too shocking and too beautiful!

“At a time like this, the most important one needs to be uploaded, something more explosive.” Li Shengjiang watched the people drool, as he finally took out his trump card. He uploaded another picture of two little witches battling while using Sorcery, displaying their brilliance. This had completely made everyone explode.

“Sh*t! The beautiful little sisters are wearing sorcerer’s robes and casting spells!”

“Boss, we were wrong. Please say something! Don’t just upload pictures (a kowtowing emoticon inserted).”

“I’m trembling all over! My mom had asked me why I kneel down to play the game ‘Spore Evolution’. Is it because learning has made me unable to extricate myself? (admitting mistake by kowtowing)”

…

“You guys are amazed already? Weren’t you all teasing and mocking me earlier? I will show you guys another good one.” Li Shengjiang smiled, as he finally released a very shocking picture.

It was of the scene when Medusa, the Great Lord of Death, had descended at Babylon Kingdom, as she displayed the ‘Flower of Death’ in the sky. A huge black blood Rose was testing the power of Lilith. It was like a dark scene of the world getting destroyed.

It was an extremely shocking picture of a world that was about to get demolished.

“It’s too scary. That little sister in the sky is so beautiful. Is she a God?”

“As soon as that Rose falls, I’m afraid the entire city will probably be destroyed.”

…

The people were completely transformed as they began to flatter Li Shengjiang.

They kept begging the boss to talk instead of just uploading the pictures. They begged him to be a person and say something!

Li Shengjiang had some regrets, but unfortunately, there was no way to do a live broadcast and record a video. He could only take screenshots, otherwise, the visual effects of the videos would be even more shocking.

“The picture all of you are looking at now is of Medusa, the Great Lord of supreme power and death.” He was not purposely trying to delay anything as he was pressed for time. A few minutes in the real world was equivalent to a long time in the game.

After he released the key evidence, he directly said, “As you must now know, in just one day, I went to the other world with my Slime race.”

Had he really gone to a different world with his own Slime race?

It really was a different world?

Like those massive ones?

Everyone was completely stunned.

“This is impossible! But these pictures?”

Countless people crazily replied, as the post had instantly received hundreds of comments. The game itself did not have a lot of players, but there were a lot of cloud gamers. Although they could not play this game, they still madly paid attention to the forum. At this moment, they were very excited.

But then, a more explosive sentence instantly aroused the players.

“I know what all of you are curious about. Why did I take so many pictures in just one day? Could it be that I am those players who were there for a vacation and to sightsee while taking pictures along the way? Was I there to experience the exotic style? But that can’t be it, right? Is the other world very friendly to Slimes? Did I take my own Slime race to the city and go sightseeing as soon as I went in?”

“In fact, I can explain a lot of your questions with one sentence: In your view, I have only spent one day, but in the other world, I have already stayed for more than 100 years! 100 years is enough for me to live a long time, more than what all of you will never experience in your life!”

The entire forum went crazy in an instant.

A lot of people’s hands that were holding the mouse of the computer trembled, and their lips tremble slightly as well. Their minds went blank for a few seconds, and some had even knocked over a cup of water and spilled it all over the table. Afterwards, people could not help typing and posting crazily, as the forum exploded with questions.

“What on earth is going on?”

“A day in the real world is 100 years in the game?”

Whoosh.

In an instant, there were a crazy amount of replies.

There were page after page of posts, like the number of frames of a movie being played and refreshed. The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to read.

While everyone sat in front of their computers and hit the keyboard, a once famous idea appeared in their minds: virtual reality, the time flow adjustment technology!
