Chapter 99
June 6th.
Gu Ran didn't wake up on time today, still deeply immersed in his sweet dreams.
In his dream, his mobile gaming empire had been established, completely suppressing a certain Teng tech giant.
Major news platforms were all trying to interview this genius young man, but he aloofly instructed his secretary to decline them all.
He vaguely remembered that the secretary looked like Li Sinan...
Returning from the company to his luxurious villa, he walked through the door to see a tall woman in a pristine white dress with her back to him, preparing dinner.
Hearing the noise at the door, the woman gently turned around, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
She looked a bit like Dilraba, and a bit like Fairy Sister.
Seeing him enter, the woman smiled faintly and spoke.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran! Are you still not getting up?!"
As she opened her mouth to speak, the woman's appearance also changed, turning into Ye Zhenzhen.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ran jolted awake, breaking out in a cold sweat from the scare.
He had been bullied so miserably these past two days; was he starting to lose his mind?
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a face shoved right in front of his.
She looked... like a furious, unattainable beauty on a high peak?
"Holy crap! Holy crap!"
After clearly seeing the person in front of him, Gu Ran practically levitated, scurrying backward until he hit the nightstand, his face full of horror.
"What are you doing here?!"
Ye Zhenzhen was a bit displeased with his reaction.
She continuously grumbled in her heart: Was she really that scary?
Correspondingly, her tone of voice unconsciously grew cold.
"Why do you think I'm here? Don't you know the exam is tomorrow? Hurry up and get out of bed to review!"
Gu Ran: "???"
He glanced at the clock on the wall; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet. He couldn't stop his mouth from twitching.
Is this person a devil?!
"The exam is tomorrow, which is exactly why I need to catch up on some good sleep right now."
After saying that, Gu Ran fell back down, closed his eyes again, and prepared to continue his sweet dream from earlier.
But Ye Zhenzhen had no intention of letting him have his way. She reached out, grabbed his arm, and hoisted him up.
"What kind of twisted logic is that? Hurry up and read for a bit. We still have to go check out the examination room this afternoon. You can just go to bed early tonight."
But Gu Ran was still struggling. With his eyes tightly shut, he muttered, "What's the use of reading now? The exam is tomorrow. How is this any different from last-minute cramming?"
"The war is about to start, and now you remember to polish your gun..."
"You never burn incense in normal times, but when you meet a ghost, you expect Buddha to fight it..."
Hearing these bizarre fallacies from who knows where, Ye Zhenzhen angrily dragged him out of bed.
Seeing that Gu Ran was only wearing old-man boxer shorts, she couldn't bear to look at the morning changes down there.
Slightly turning her head away, her face flushed red. She tossed out a sentence telling him to hurry up, wash his face, and brush his teeth, before returning to her own room through the balcony door.
It was all that girl's fault for not paying attention and carelessly lifting his blanket.
Still caring somewhat about his dignity, a certain Mr. Gu didn't dare to stay on the floor for long. He quickly scrambled up, changed his clothes, and began to wash up.
After eating breakfast, he returned to his room, sneakily walked through the balcony door, and arrived next door.
Seeing his sleazy appearance, Ye Zhenzhen snorted and left him with the smooth back of her head.
Although she ignored him, as a caring older sister, she had still prepared the review materials for her younger brother.
Gu Ran walked into the room with an awkward smile. Seeing a neatly stacked pile of materials at the corner of the desk, he knew they were prepared for him.
He reached out to grab them and then unceremoniously flopped onto the bed, causing a certain young girl's eyelids to twitch fiercely.
Dog!
Rolling her eyes at the air, she chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, continuing to swim in her own world.
There was no helping it; she had no common language with a dog...
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
