The different powers within the country of Dajin were intricate and complicated. In order to establish a country in a region filled with powerful warriors and cultivators, the founding emperor, Emperor Wu, subdued countless warriors and cultivators while making promises to different forces.

After the establishment of the country, these warriors, cultivators, and forces were awarded, subsequently becoming prestigious families!

Moreover, the founding emperor, Emperor Wu, himself was born into a wealthy family. After a long time of development, he successfully created a hierarchy in the country.

Dajin seemed peaceful to outsiders, but the truth was that there were plots and conspiracies everywhere.

The night fell. After she reached her daily playtime limit, Nalan Mingxue watched Fang Qi play Diablo for the night.

Out of curiosity, she tried this game out for half an hour today.

The map of the virtual reality version of Diablo II was much bigger. Rogue Encampment had taverns and civilian residences, making everything seem extremely real and life-like. The game was so realistic that it became much more interesting.

Role playing games allowed Nalan Mingxue to play any role she wanted and become one with her character. She felt natural in the game, even when talking with commoners. In real life, she rarely even laid eyes on people of lower status.

Only during times like this could she completely unhinge the pressure on her shoulders. In the game, she lived a completely different life. Without the burden of status, she could interact however she wanted to. She could also be happy about leveling up and getting all sorts of items.

She didn’t have to calculate and manipulate like she did in real life. She could show her unhappiness if she wanted to, and she could laugh if she felt like it. She didn’t have to worry about people trying to figure her out.

But now, she suddenly felt confused.

This game seems even more interesting than Resident Evil. So should I continue to play games here?

“I lowered my guard…” She finally came back to her senses and stood up from her chair. She had never felt like this her entire life.

Then, she turned and looked around the internet café; she realized that most people had already left.

It was midnight.

“It’s so late!”

Just then, Fang Qi stood up from his seat and stretched casually. He glanced at Nalan Mingxue and Lan Yan with surprise in his eyes. “Hm? You’re still here?”

“We’re about to leave.” Nalan Mingxue’s expression went back to its original icy coldness.

As soon as she opened the door, she felt drops of water on her face.

She looked up at the dark sky, and her white robe fluttered crazily in the wind that was rushing into the internet café through the open door.

She walked out and reached out her hand; an ice-cold water droplet landed on her palm as the fierce wind blew in the air.

It’s raining?

In the summer, it was extremely humid before rainfall. The clouds were like lids of a pressure cooker, making the air humid and annoying people to their cores.

After Nalan Mingxue and Lan Yan, the last few customers also left. Fang Qi walked up to the doors and closed them.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange outside his internet café, causing him to furrow his eyebrows.
