Chapter 821: The Good of All Heavens

Plop!

Maloer was so frightened that he knelt down directly, prostrating on the ground, and said in terror: "City Lord, spare my life! City Lord, spare my life! I have eyes but no pearls, I didn't know it was your grand arrival; please grant me forgiveness, please forgive me, my lord!"

While saying this, he kept kowtowing with bang-bang sounds, obviously terrified.

The fashion designers in the workshop saw this scene and were all stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Instructor Maloer actually kowtowed to Anxin Jie's son?"

"City Lord? Uh... he, he actually is the City Lord?"

Xiao Feng's identity information is not known to all players; these lifestyle players know little, and only a few know he is the number one on the Level Ranking, let alone his other identities.

Discovering that the highest-status NPC here actually kowtowed and begged for mercy, they were almost crying out loud, each feeling extremely incredulous.

Xiao Feng's mother was also stunned by this scene, and exclaimed in shock: "Xiao Feng, what's going on? The instructor actually..."

Xiao Feng explained: "Mom, you didn't know, but I am actually the City Lord of War City. According to the game world's rules, all system items and characters in this city belong to me. This guy insulted you; I could have killed her and no one would dare say anything."

"Don't! Don't kill anyone!" Su Yuxia heard this and was so frightened her soul left her body; she hurried to stop him.

Although she knew this was a game, someone like her, a gaming newbie, at most could just fight monsters; killing NPCs and humanoid monsters is something she couldn't do.

The overly realistic game world made ordinary commoners feel extreme terror about killing, and they dared not do it.

Xiao Feng saw his mother's psychological state.

Although he had just wanted to kill this NPC in a fit of anger, after calming down he thought it wasn't that serious; a little punishment would suffice.

If he really killed her, he'd have to go find another god-level fashion designer to come back and be the instructor for everyone; otherwise his mother's lifestyle profession couldn't advance, and it would just cause trouble.

So he softened a bit and said to Maloer: "For my mother's sake, I'll spare your life today. But remember, if there's a next time, even the Main God won't be able to save you!"

"Yes, yes! Thank you, City Lord! Thank you, City Lord!"

Maloer escaped disaster, so happy that tears welled up in his eyes.

She was still kneeling on the ground without getting up, and Xiao Feng didn't want to linger here, lest he be surrounded again.

He immediately said to his mother: "Let's go, I'll take you around the city." Then he left the fashion workshop.

The female players in the workshop witnessed this scene, each secretly marveling.

Someone whispered: "Anxin Jie's son is so awesome, even Maloer was scared like this; if we could lure him to be our boyfriend, would we still worry about lacking an instructor to guide our experience?"

"That's right, he's a top expert on the Level Ranking, said to be renowned even across the universe, the strongest person in the world!"

"As for girlfriends, you'd better forget it; a man this handsome and talented never lacks women, maybe he even changes a few every day!"

"Oh come on, if he has to change a few every day, why can't I be one of them? I get along so well with Anxin Jie; I'm sure I can seize the opportunity—just you wait and see!"

"You little girl, really shameless. Well... but such an opportunity is indeed not bad; I'll also inquire for my daughter, in case he has no partner, then there would be a chance!"

A group of people whispered among themselves.

After a while, Maloer recovered from the panic, noticed everyone whispering, and snapped: "If you want to learn, study seriously; if not, get out!" as if diverting his anger.

But after scolding them, she herself left first, still not having overcome her fear, still frightened.

Everyone secretly felt pleased.

The usually fierce lifestyle instructor finally had a strong person come to deal with her!

On the main street.

Xiao Feng strolled leisurely with his mother.

To avoid trouble, he changed his information to "Level 200 Holy Realm Mage", and his health bar to 1,200,000. His name remained unchanged, anyway there are many with the same name, so it doesn't matter.

"Xiao Feng, you're really doing well in the game, even Instructor Maloer is afraid of you." His mother exclaimed in amazement.

Seeing her son so promising, she felt very relieved.

Xiao Feng smiled: "Not bad, I haven't embarrassed you and Dad!"

His mother chuckled, her mood excellent.

"Speaking of which, this game is really fun—not only can you go to many places and see beautiful scenery, but there are also many skills, as impressive as performing in a movie. Your dad has already become completely addicted, daydreaming every day about becoming the world's top martial artist, a hero who helps the distressed."

"Yes, it's a super game made by aliens, with rich content and a tenfold time extension; in here people's lifespans are effectively extended, and even some disabled people can shake off their troubles and gain healthy bodies in the game."

Mm, yes, like

Your aunt, in reality both legs can't move, she's in a wheelchair. But here she can run and jump, fight monsters—just imagine how happy she is! What little time she had left has also become much more leisurely; your maternal uncles and aunts are overjoyed, finally having time to accompany the elderly.

The two of them talked about the game's benefits.

Xiao Feng felt a myriad of emotions.

All Heavens although it brought many unstable factors, making this world tumultuous and uneasy.

But the benefits it also brought are truly numerous!

Opportunity is one aspect, but more importantly, it gives those who originally led unhappy lives a chance to start over!

It also gives those who are busy and have no time to go home to see their elderly parents a chance to accompany them.

No matter where one is, regardless of health, wealth or poverty, here everyone can enjoy equal living rights.

At least on the surface, there is equality!

Mother and son walked aimlessly down the street, chatting as they went.

After a while, the mother suddenly said: "Hey Xiao Feng, about what we talked on the phone last time… have you decided?"

"What? What matter?" Xiao Feng feigned ignorance.

"Don't give me that evasive look, Mom; be honest—when do you plan to settle things with your significant other?" The mother stared, a pressure from bloodline bearing down on him.

Xiao Feng scratched his head, embarrassed: "Um… still, still considering. Mainly, the upgrade tasks are heavy now; to fight the aliens I can't even find time to eat. A girlfriend and such aren't that urgent either; anyway… I'm only 21, way too early."

"You little brat, I can tell you're just being greedy!"

His birth mother, who raised him for 21 years, understood him completely and instantly saw through his thoughts.

"Uh…"

Xiao Feng looked around and saw no acquaintances; facing his mother, he spoke what was in his heart.

He said, "Actually, this kind of thing is rather complicated to explain. The three girls around me are all nice—one is sharp and capable, graceful and poised; one is gentle, considerate, and kind-hearted; and one is clever and lively, able to make me happy… I don't know what to do."

Hearing him praise the girls, his mother couldn't help but press her forehead.

"Mom has figured it out—you're really bold, not afraid that all three boats might capsize together!"

Xiao Feng gave an embarrassed he-he laugh and dared not speak.

But in his heart he secretly thought: "They get along quite harmoniously; at least for now they're a stable bunch!"
