The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

Since Ye Bing and Han Cheng and Xu Xiaomeng didn't go the same way, Ye Bing went home by herself first, while Han Cheng and Xu Xiaomeng went home together.

"Little Orange, let me ask you a question!" Xu Xiaomeng said as she walked.

"What's the problem?" Han Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well..." Xu Xiaomeng paused, "Are you interested in that woman?"

"Which woman? You?" Han Cheng asked.

"That woman, the one from the Storm team who played against us today..." Xu Xiaomeng thought for a moment, "...the aloof woman you mentioned!"

“Her? To be honest, I am indeed interested…” Before Han Cheng could finish speaking, Xu Xiaomeng reached out and pinched him.

"Damn it, why did you pinch me?" Han Cheng said, rubbing the pinched spot, which was extremely painful.

"I don't know either..." Xu Xiaomeng feigned innocence, thinking to herself, "You cheated on me..."

"I told you that woman was really something, and it was the second time I'd seen her, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then you pinched me... Waaah..." Han Cheng burst into tears, though he wasn't really crying.

"You're lying. I think you just couldn't help looking at her because she's good-looking, right?" Xu Xiaomeng said, looking unhappy.

"Good-looking? How can anyone be as good-looking as you?" Han Cheng said. "And are you a member of the 'looks-matter' club? All you know is how to judge a person by their appearance..."

Xu Xiaomeng blushed slightly: "I'm prettier than her, really?"

"Am I the kind of person who lies?" Han Cheng said, then rested his head on his arm and fell silent. Praising people is really tiring...

"Hehe, then I misunderstood you. Come on, let me rub you..." Xu Xiaomeng actually started to rub Han Cheng's skin, which startled Han Cheng so much that he quickly dodged away.

"Why are you running away? Do you dislike me?"

"No!" Han Cheng turned and ran as Xu Xiaomeng approached. Being rubbed by her was worse than being pinched...

Under the moonlight, their shadows stretched longer and longer until they slowly disappeared...

At Han Cheng's home.

"Phew, I'm so tired. I didn't expect her to be so fast..." Han Cheng returned home, looked in the mirror, and thought to himself, "Finally, it's vacation time. I'll have to go and have some fun there..."

Xing Feng's home.

"Uncle, I told you those guys were just ungrateful bastards, why did you treat them like that?" Xing Feng lay on the sofa with a displeased expression, holding his phone, which showed that he had just lost a ranked game.

“I didn’t expect them to be so ungrateful. They offered such generous terms, and I agreed to them, but they still don’t appreciate it…” Xing Batian also looked displeased. “However, you should know that our Storm Club is currently lacking a capable leader. Xiao Qi isn’t very strong, and besides her, the club doesn’t have any other outstanding members…” Xing Batian sighed after he finished speaking.

“Hey, if you ask me, Uncle, your club should recruit people from the entire Pingshan City, or even the whole country. With such generous benefits, who wouldn’t be tempted? Instead of just limiting yourself to a few people, you know there are plenty of talented people out there, like my brother…” Xing Feng said.

“That makes sense…” Xing Batian said, “It seems I need to recruit a few formidable players so I can defeat them on the field and show them the consequences of missing out on joining our Storm Team!”

Seeing Xing Batian's expression, Xing Feng smiled. Although he had no chance to defeat Han Cheng and the others on the field, his uncle might be able to fulfill that wish for him...

At Sima Yi's home.

"Sigh, we just got all three licenses ready for this club, and now opening a gaming club is so complicated, it's like starting a company... I have a manager at Pizza Hut, and another one at this club, it's a real headache... I can't just fire the one there, can I? My dad probably won't kill me." Sima Yi played the game with a worried expression. He had just gotten a godlike streak, but after spacing out for a while, the game ended, and he cursed under his breath.

Meanwhile, Han Cheng traveled to the Mirror World again to have some fun. Well, what can you do? It's much more comfortable there than the real world.

"Although it's already late, it's not time to play games yet. That's pre-sleep exercise. Before that, I need to have some fun. After all, I haven't really studied the Mirror World properly since I discovered it..." Han Cheng said as he walked around his familiar room, then went outside.

Outside the door, not far away, Han Cheng seemed to see a familiar figure. Could it be? Sima Yu? Could it be that he came to my house in the real world? Han Cheng thought to himself, and quickly walked over. Sima Yu suddenly turned around, startling Han Cheng.

"You really did haphazardly travel through the Mirror World," Sima Yu said calmly.

"What? Randomly travel through mirror worlds? What, is that not allowed?" Han Cheng asked.

"The Mirror World is another world parallel to the real world. Things here are the same as in the real world, but they are slower, which is called the time difference. For us superpowered beings, being able to travel to the Mirror World is a blessing, and we should maintain the order of the Mirror World, rather than destroy it at will." Sima Yu said a bunch of strange things again.

"You mean we're also considered maintainers of the order in the Mirror World? But I haven't disrupted the order here..." Han Cheng said.

"You could say that. As for disrupting the order of the Mirror World, your casual traversal of the Mirror World is indeed disruptive. Generally speaking, someone with your level of ability, which isn't particularly strong, would greatly impact the order of the Mirror World by traversing it at will, potentially attracting time-space spirits, which would be disastrous. That's why your master told me to advise you to enter the Mirror World with restraint in the future, and not to traverse it casually for convenience. Alternatively, you could focus on cultivating your ability to a high level before considering anything else." Sima Yu finished speaking and was about to leave.

"I understood most of it... but is my ability level really that low? And the master you mentioned is that mysterious guy, right?" Han Cheng thought that mysterious guy was probably a very powerful ability user, and he guided Sima Yu into the Mirror World and helped her discover her abilities, unlike himself who was self-taught... However, with that person's guidance, his ability level would probably improve significantly, and he wouldn't attract any time-space spirits when freely traversing the Mirror World (what the heck?). Speaking of ability levels, Han Cheng first thought of the cultivation levels in fantasy novels, probably something similar to this...

"That's right, it's really low. As for my master's matter, I'm just here to remind you. There's no need to answer so many of your questions. You'd better watch yourself!" Sima Yu finished speaking and disappeared. If this were in the real world, Han Cheng would probably be scared to death, but this is the Mirror World, so it's nothing...

Thinking of that time-space spirit, which seemed like a terrifying thing, Han Cheng decided that to avoid attracting it, firstly, he would enter the Mirror World less often in the future, and secondly, he would cultivate diligently... But how exactly should he cultivate? Was it enough to just sleep in the Mirror World?
