Online Game: Unrivaled Gods

Feeling a tingling sensation throughout my body, I fantasized about my grand money-making scheme. Then I felt a bit dizzy and realized my body needed sleep, so I drifted off to sleep.

He woke up, drank milk, and then slept for the entire day. But Sun Rui felt very fulfilled. With his parents by his side in the game, he didn't have to think about anything and could live a peaceful life. He almost forgot about his great cause of making money.

"Player Lü Bu, the game server is about to shut down. Please log out immediately."

Sun Rui had been trying to gesture for a long time before finally getting his parents to understand that he wanted to wear clothes. As soon as he received the clothes, the system notification sounded in his ear. Looking at his parents in front of him, Sun Rui sighed inwardly. In reality, this was also a game.

After a moment of dizziness, Sun Rui opened his eyes again, stared at the ceiling, and it took him a while to realize that it was time to set up his stall.

Sun Rui set up his stall in the morning and closed it at noon. After he finished tidying up, he connected to the internet at home and logged onto the "Global Hope" forum. Only after logging on did Sun Rui realize that he was actually going to a game forum one day, and he didn't feel strange at all. This game really has magic.

Sun Rui looked at the posts on the forum with a sigh. They were all kinds of things. After a day of development, "Global Hope" could be said to be a topic of conversation for everyone.

The title, "On the Authenticity of Global Hope," caught Sun Rui's attention, so he clicked to read it.

Hello everyone, I'm just an ordinary player, currently level 0, please don't laugh. I'm just an average person, and I'd like to ask if anyone else feels this way: leveling up and fighting monsters in *Global Hope* is incredibly difficult! I feel like even killing a rabbit is a struggle. The realism is too high; rabbits are so hard to hit! Most importantly, I got looked down upon by the NPCs for failing to kill a rabbit! I want to cry, it's too automated! A friend of mine reached level one and found he had no attribute points, only 0.5 growth per attribute. That means even at max level, each of our four stats will only be 50! How can we possibly beat Lu Bu like that? My dreams are shattered! I'm crying!!!

First floor: OP, I agree with you. I'm also level 0, and I can't hit any rabbits either.

Second floor: The person upstairs is too cowardly. I'm already level 2.

Third floor: Hey bro on the second floor, where are you from? I need your help.

..

After reading this post, Sun Rui realized that the difference between players and historical generals was not only in their attributes, but also in their talents. If Lu Bu's attributes were fully developed, he could completely slaughter players. In this way, Sun Rui thought of a way to make money. He could become someone else's henchman and charge a fee. That would be awesome.

Sun Rui started chuckling again, feeling that his goal might be achieved, as if his heart, which had been suffocating under the weight of a heavy boulder, could finally breathe again.

Sun Rui clicked on another article he needed and was most concerned about: "Seeking to Buy Copper Coins at an Exchange Rate of 1:10." This article was about buying copper coins. Sun Rui knew from the game's launch that in-game currency could be exchanged for real money, but he hadn't expected the exchange rate to be so high. Copper coins were the most basic currency in the game, with silver, gold, gold bars, and gold bricks also available. Sun Rui's mouth watered just thinking about it. However, having never played the game, he didn't know that this high exchange rate was only due to a shortage of in-game currency at the game's launch; he wouldn't be able to afford it later.

He browsed the forum for a while and found that two hours had already passed, so he quickly packed up his things for setting up his stall, then took a shower and did laundry, because his sister didn't like him being greasy.

After taking a shower and preparing dinner, I continued watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that I had watched yesterday, while waiting for my younger sister to get out of school.

With the sound of keys ringing, Sun Rui knew his sister was back. He walked to the door, flashing his signature silly grin, and waited for her to open it.

Sun Rui's lips started twitching. It's difficult to maintain a single facial expression. Why did this happen? It's because the person outside the door had inserted the key but wouldn't open the door, which made Sun Rui's expression stiff.

"Squeak." Just as Sun Rui was about to withdraw her expression, the security door opened. She was still wearing her usual school uniform, still as elegant and refined as ever, but why did her eyes seem a little unfocused?

After entering the room, Sun Xin's eyes darted left and right. Gradually, unable to bear Sun Rui's strange gaze, a blush crept across her fair neck. She hurriedly changed her shoes and ran into her room, leaving a puzzled Sun Rui without even closing the security door.

"Bang bang".

"I'm not eating dinner, leave me alone."

This time, she didn't even open the door, simply telling Sun Rui not to knock. Sun Rui shook his head, turned around, and sat back on the sofa to start eating dinner. Although Sun Rui was curious about what his sister wanted, he didn't want to ask her, so he didn't insist. It wasn't the first time she hadn't eaten dinner, so he just left some for her.

"Welcome to Global Hope. The game will start in 10 seconds."

"System announcement: After system debugging and in response to the requests of many players, the game is now fully open and operating 24 hours a day."

"System announcement: The ratio of game time to real time in the starting village is 4:1. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience."

Sun Rui had just opened his eyes and hadn't done anything yet when a system announcement rang in his ears: the game would be running 24/7. Sun Rui didn't know how others would react to this news, but he was conflicted. Before, the game only ran at night, which didn't affect him; he could do whatever he wanted during the day. Now that it was running 24/7, he had to make a choice.

Sun Rui was caught in a dilemma: should he fully immerse himself in the game or continue setting up his stall? The game was still unpredictable, while setting up a stall at least provided cash. However, if he didn't focus on the game and didn't progress quickly, he wouldn't be able to make money.

"Just take it one step at a time."

Sun Rui lay on the bed muttering to himself, then suddenly stood up. He realized he could speak again. Although he could speak when creating his character in the game, his current body was like that of an infant.

"Huh? No, this body has grown a lot."

I only understood after looking through my system history.

"System notification: Due to system debugging, the main world jumped from 170 AD to 172 AD. Lu Bu's age is 2 years old."

"System notification: Due to player Lu Bu's continuous use of Tiger's Milk, his body has grown to the age of 3."

"System notification: During the player's absence, the system will manage whether to retrieve the two years' worth of memories."

As soon as Sun Rui entered the game, there were two system announcements. He didn't notice his own system notification in time. Only after seeing the system notification did Sun Rui realize that this was a game. Two years had passed in a flash. For Sun Rui, passing these two years was a good thing, as Lu Bu's attributes had been reduced from 90% to 70%.

"Young Master, you're awake."

Just as Sun Rui was checking his attributes, a clear voice rang in his ears. Looking up, he saw someone he didn't recognize. The person was dressed as a maid and had an ordinary appearance. He looked at the girl standing by the bed with a puzzled expression; he didn't recognize her, but he guessed she must be a maid from his household.

"Okay, I understand." Although she was puzzled, she still agreed verbally. Two years had passed in a flash, and she didn't know what had happened in between. It was still awkward to get along with the people in the game.

"Accept the memories."

After Sun Rui clicked the dialog box to accept the memories, two years of memories flooded in. Sun Rui then realized that he had miscalculated. He originally thought that accepting the memories meant watching videos of the two years, but he did not expect that the memories would be directly implanted into his brain.

However, it's only two years of memories. Sun Rui might not be able to handle the memories of an adult, but he can easily accept the memories of a two-year-old baby.

"Phew, Sister Xiaohua, isn't it time for breakfast?"

After receiving the memories, Sun Rui learned that the girl beside him was named Xiao Hua, and he also learned many other things, such as that Lu Bu was still drinking tiger milk and that others jokingly called him "milk baby." Sun Rui's final breakfast was tiger milk. Although he was very dissatisfied with this name, Sun Rui still had to accept it because the milk couldn't stop.

"Hehe, yes, young master, the master and madam are waiting for you in the hall."

The maid Xiaohua giggled, clearly knowing what Sun Rui meant by breakfast. Sun Rui wasn't annoyed by Xiaohua's giggles; he felt a sense of warmth, knowing that his two years of memories hadn't been taken for granted.

"Father, Mother."

Sun Rui and his maid Xiao Hua arrived at the hall, where the dining table and food were already set. After greeting Lü Liang and Huang Shi, he sat down and began to eat. Because he had received two years of memories, Sun Rui felt no distance from his parents in the game and felt that they were more like living people. His father's strictness and his mother's love were vividly portrayed in his memories of the past two years.

After finishing his meal, Sun Rui took his maid Xiao Hua and left home to find his friends. In the past two years, Lü Bu had earned the title of child prodigy, learning everything quickly. Half a year ago, his height was comparable to that of a three-year-old child, so his parents allowed him to take his maid out to play. Lü Bu's parents believed that nothing would happen to him in Jiuyuan City, and no one would be so foolish as to bully the governor of Wuyuan County.

What made Sun Rui both laugh and cry was that Lu Bu's playmates for the past two years had been little girls. Although Lu Bu's body was still that of a child, 30% of his attributes had been unlocked, and his combat strength was already 3 points. He could easily beat the little girls when playing with boys.

Lu Bu was very docile when he was with little girls, so his friends were all little girls. The little girls thought Lu Bu was very powerful, so they liked to play with him.
