Chapter 1 Morning

He pursed his lips, rolled over, and then with a "thud"... fell onto the floor.

"Ugh..." The cold touch of the floor, and the pain caused by the fall, instantly swept away Jue-ge's sleepiness, and made him groan instinctively.

"What's all the noise so early in the morning..." Two seconds later, Ruo-yu's voice came from the bed, "What time is it..."

She mumbled in a lazy tone, and grabbed the phone on the bedside table to take a look.

"Ah... it's not even seven o'clock yet, let's sleep a little longer." With that, she grabbed the blanket, covered herself up, and went back to sleep.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't even glance at Jue-ge; she probably didn't even realize that he had fallen out of bed.

"Haa..." On the other hand, Jue-ge, who was lying on the ground, yawned and stood up after a few seconds.

Since he was already awake, he simply put on his bathrobe, slipped on his slippers, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Speaking of... what are we having for breakfast today?" As he opened the door, Feng Bujue rubbed his neck and asked casually.

"If you bother me again, I'll eat you." A very impatient and threatening response came from the bed.

"Alright, alright... I'll just make some cereal..." Feng Bujue knew that his intention of getting her to wake up and make breakfast and coffee for him had been seen through, so he had no choice but to give up.

He closed the door and shuffled into the living room.

He casually picked up the remote control on the sofa, turned on the TV, and then went into the bathroom.

He didn't know when it started, but he had gotten into the habit of listening to the news while washing up... even though he didn't really trust the news.

【Welcome to "Game Super News"! Interactive media, new attitude, the latest information at your fingertips!

Hello everyone, I am Peerless General Pan Feng, and I am Thousand-Man Slayer Hua Xiong.

Next, let's take a look at a set of new game news.

This year is undoubtedly a year of great explosion for the gaming and e-sports industries. In the first half of the year, when Dream Company, this fleeting industry giant, suddenly announced bankruptcy, everyone inside and outside the industry seemed to think... this industry is going to be over. Eh~ Unexpectedly, just two months later, there was a situation of new games everywhere and a hundred schools of thought contending. Let's take a look at the release list scrolling at the bottom of the screen. At the end of this month alone, there are fifteen more virtual online games to be launched, and three of them are AAA masterpieces. It seems that this industry is not only not over, but players will also have to worry about too many games to play.

Although the reasons for the collapse of Dream Company are still debated... some say that the senior management absconded with the money, some say that they were involved in unfair competition, and others say that the company was just a heavily indebted shell from the beginning... But in any case, it must be admitted that in the year they almost monopolized the neural connection online games, they brought many new ideas to this industry. Their series of subversive practices have changed the current game market, and this influence will probably continue to ferment for several years to come.

Are our past understandings of the market, of marketing models, of user experience, micro-transactions, gameplay and other elements correct? This is indeed worth considering. If you are interested in this topic, please click on this link on the right side of the screen. We have more information and expert discussion videos here.

So... speaking of games, we must talk about e-sports. In the past six months, with the launch of various powerful new games, the e-sports circle has also ushered in a major reshuffle. Many new game studios have emerged in this chaotic world of new games. One of them that has to be mentioned is "Bing Di" (Ice Emperor).

That's right, in just the past six months, Bing Di has signed many heavyweight star players, including the "Xu Huai Shang" (F絮 Goddess) that we are all familiar with, as well as "Fei Chai Shu" (Worthless Uncle), "Honghu," "Zhao Ying Wang" (Shadow King), "Juan Meng Huan" (Tired Dream Return), "Tian Ma Xing Kong" (Sky High Horse) and other masters with different styles and top strengths, and these players all joined Bing Di as free agents, and the latter did not spend a penny on transfer fees. This kind of personnel configuration has made this studio, which has been established for less than two years, instantly become the darling of sponsors and competitions. In the past six months, they can be said to have been thriving, and their limelight is directly approaching the old big brother Order... Eh, our director has put the relevant information on the right side of the screen. If you want to pay attention to the details, please click here.

Next, let's take a look at a piece of news about "JS Nebula."

It has been half a year since the JS Nebula's interstellar probe group visited Earth in May this year. New York time yesterday evening, the United Nations JS Exchange Planning Agency once again simultaneously announced a new set of information to the public media of all member states, including more information provided by JS Nebula on their social system, ecological environment, culture, economy, military and other fields.

Although relevant experts have repeatedly emphasized that we cannot completely trust those "alien lives" that we do not understand and whose technological level is obviously higher than ours, it seems that this diverse cultural civilization far away in the universe is still very friendly to us, and also shows considerable sincerity when communicating with us.

But to be honest, I personally find it hard to imagine the situation in their nebula... all kinds of mythical creatures and super-life forms similar to earthlings live in the same galaxy, and they maintain a relatively peaceful relationship with each other. This should be considered unbelievable by us humans, right?

Are you trying to complain that we humans are clearly the same species and are still fighting all the time?

Haha, I didn't say that, it was you...】

Beep——

Feng Bujue, who had finished washing up, returned to the living room, picked up the tablet on the coffee table, and manipulated the cursor to click on the hyperlink that appeared on the TV screen.

"What are game media talking about planetary events... and so outspoken..." As Jue-ge complained, he switched the screen to a static news webpage. The content on the webpage was the new news about "JS Nebula" announced by the United Nations, which the two hosts had just mentioned.

"Hmm... it seems that Destiny and Twenty-Three are doing well..." Feng Bujue sat on the sofa, browsing the information on the TV screen, muttering to himself, "Let me see... Lute and Billy have been elected as planetary governors... The Phantom Demon Church led by the Blood Corpse God has become the galaxy enforcer... Hey hey... is this to make it easier to directly dispose of people with capital crimes through the digestive tract... and... that guy Duoma has actually become the largest religious leader, and Zhuan Jiezun and Dian Hu Wang have become his left and right guardians?"

Although there were many things to complain about, there was basically no news that was too surprising; Feng Bujue and the Destiny sisters had already made long-term plans for the development pattern of the derivatives and those data lives. At least until this batch of new "living beings" accumulates a certain amount of karma, there will be no major changes in the JS Nebula.

In a few years, when the interactions between there and Earth become more frequent and in-depth, Earth will naturally be able to develop warp engines and cross-galaxy communication hardware. At that time, more folk network exchanges, or even organizing tour groups to visit, will not be impossible.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people on Earth will have ideas about the JS Nebula, trying to use the technological power there to create trouble, or even launch wars. If that kind of situation really occurs, the corresponding countermeasures... Jue-ge would definitely have prepared them long ago, and they would be ruthless and effective in treating both the symptoms and the root cause.

"You guy..." About half an hour later, a sleepy-eyed Ruo-yu walked out of the bedroom. She looked at Jue-ge, who was still watching the news on the sofa, and then looked at the kitchen, and said in a deep voice, "If I don't get up, you won't eat anything, right?"

"Uh..." Jue-ge was startled when he heard her voice, "Actually... I don't know where the cereal is..."

This was true. Since moving into the new house after marriage, Ruo-yu has been taking care of almost all the housework. Except for occasionally cooking and washing dishes, Feng Bujue has basically become a useless person.

"Ah..." Ruo-yu covered her face, sighed in a rough voice, and walked into the bathroom, "If I'm not by your side, are you just going to starve to death at home?"

"Yes, so I've made up my mind to spend the rest of my life only within ten meters of you as much as possible, and the longest time we're apart will be no more than half a day." Feng Bujue replied in his cheap tone, not ashamed, but proud.

"Stop trying to beat around the bush and say some dirty things to me..." It was obvious that Ruo-yu, who had unlocked the seal and married Jue-ge, had been seriously skewed these days, "...if you want to say it, just say it openly, I don't think you're cheesy."

As she said this, she just finished letting out the water for brushing her teeth, took a sip, and began to gargle.

"Okay... I'll try my best." Feng Bujue replied with a smile. A few seconds later, he thought of something again and continued, "Oh, by the way, we're going to your maternal grandpa's house for dinner tonight, don't forget. Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling, Miss An, and Bao Qing Ouyang are all coming." He paused and added, "Bao Qing and Ouyang are both coming with their wives and children, so be careful when we chat, don't talk about your family's cultivation stuff."

"Gala Lala... Puff." Ruo-yu spat out the water in her mouth, turned her head, and raised her voice in response, "Am I that kind of person? In our social circle, you're the only one who's always talking nonsense, okay?"

"By the way..." Feng Bujue waited for a while and then said, "I might have to delay a manuscript this month, can you help me talk to Miss An and ask her to be lenient..."

"Okay." Ruo-yu, with a toothbrush in her mouth, agreed without even thinking about it.

"Huh? Why did you agree so readily..." However, Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes, turned around, and looked warily in the direction of the bathroom, "There's a conspiracy, isn't there?"

"He——Puff." Ruo-yu rinsed her mouth again, spat out the water, and said, "I didn't say anything, but since you took the initiative to bring it up..." She showed a Feng-style smile, her soft waist leaned back, and she poked her head out of the door, looking at Jue-ge in the living room and said, "Let's talk about the conditions."

...

Afternoon, S City, a villa under the name of Siri Group.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a intellectual beauty with short hair was basking in the warm sunshine, enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea time.

On the exquisite small table, there was a laptop computer and a cup of red tea that was still steaming.

An Yueqin drank the hot tea, browsing the words on the screen, already lost in thought.

At this moment, what she was using was not an ordinary laptop, but a special hardware that only the "Recorder Clan" could use.

From ancient times to the present, these recorders, who are directly protected by "God," have been writing an epic called "Apocalypse (also known as the Doomsday Chronicle)" together for generations. Those recorders who complete their work well also have the opportunity to be promoted to "Regent"; they exist all over the world... Although the things recorded by each recorder are different, when some major events occur, the content they record will inevitably intersect.

In the 21st century, the (Earth's) recorders no longer need to write words on stone tablets, bamboo slips, or paper. The input hardware for the "Apocalypse" has been upgraded to a laptop computer, and there is also a function similar to "cloud backup." This... can be considered keeping up with the times.

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, a wretched laughter came, and without guessing, everyone knew who it was.

"It seems that you are adapting to this new part-time job very quickly."

"Is it appropriate for you to break into a lady's room without saying hello?" An Yueqin calmly put down the teacup in her hand, turned her head in response to the sound, and looked at Woody, who suddenly appeared in her room.

"Hehehe... sorry." Facing the recorder, Woody was very polite, saying sorry when he said sorry, and his expression and tone seemed very natural, "I will remember to knock next time."

"Okay." The current An Yueqin naturally knew Woody's origin and identity, and she didn't need to be very polite to him, "So... what's the matter?"

"Hehe... what else can I do, running errands for the 'Council.'" Woody shrugged, "Even if I won the Candidate Game, my 'punishment' still has to continue... I'm afraid I'll have to do this kind of 'community service' for several years..."

As he spoke, he took out a cat from behind... yes, from "behind"... like a cartoon character taking out an object from thin air.

"Today, I'm here to give Recorder-sama a pet..." Woody paused here, took a big breath, and then said, "...and a bodyguard."

"Eh?" As soon as An Yueqin saw the cat in Woody's hand, she immediately reacted, "Aren't you..."

"Yes, yes..." Before the cat could say the name that Feng Bujue had given it, it preemptively said, "Actually, my real name is Aoi Molly. I was previously responsible for protecting and monitoring Feng Bujue, but recently I was transferred to the Council and no longer belong to Woody's team... So this time I was sent to protect you, please take care of me in the future."

"Oh... hello." An Yueqin didn't know how to evaluate this matter for a moment. She thought for a while and then said, "Speaking of... I thought I was directly protected by 'God,' but it turns out I'm not?"

"Yes." As Aoi Molly replied, she jumped from Woody's hand to the ground, "But God usually waits until they have no choice but to take action, for example... when you encounter a strong natural disaster, or a demon that is stronger than me, God will intervene. But in most other cases... for example, if you meet a robber on the street, then I can definitely solve it. It would be too exaggerated to directly strike the other person to death with heavenly lightning."

"I see..." An Yueqin nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"Hehehe..." Woody then interjected, "Okay, I've delivered the cat, so I'll take my leave."

"Um, goodbye." An Yueqin didn't have anything to say to him, so she casually agreed, then turned her head and continued to drink her tea and read her records.

However, Woody, who had said "goodbye," didn't leave for more than ten seconds.

He stood there, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth again, "Hehehe... Recorder-sama, actually... I have something else I want to ask..."

"Presumptuous." An Yueqin also knew that Woody hadn't left. Without Woody finishing his words, she knew what he wanted to ask, so she directly gave these two words.

"Hehe... as expected of Recorder-sama, you are truly beautiful inside and out, intelligent, and smart..." Woody was also a shameless master. Depending on the situation, he could completely pretend to be a grandson, or even a great-grandson, great-great-grandson, or great-great-great-grandson...

"Alright, stop flattering me." An Yueqin said, "You can't read my mind, and you don't have the authority to peek at the Apocalypse, but you're super concerned about Feng Bujue's affairs, right?"

"Hehehe... exactly." Woody replied.

Admittedly, the universe rewritten by Feng Bujue, Destiny, and Twenty-Three together has no flaws. Even an existence like Woody cannot realize that his memories, cognition, and some settings of this universe have been modified and rewritten.

However, Woody is Woody... he still vaguely sensed something "different."

Therefore, he thought of getting information from the recorder.

Because, no matter what, even if the whole world is rewritten, the "Apocalypse" cannot be modified; if there really exists some kind of "reality that has been erased or distorted," at least... "God" and the "Recorders" (including the Regents who were once recorders) will still know the truth.

"But I have no right to reveal anything to you." An Yueqin said, "If you're so concerned, go ask Feng Bujue himself."

"Hehehe... you know, he can already use the 'Book of the Heart' and the 'Pen of Sin' to write some simple 'formulas'..." Woody continued, "Nowadays, every existence with a bit of divinity in heaven and on earth is unwilling to show up in front of him... because they are all afraid of being observed by him..."

"Hmm..." An Yueqin thought again, "Then let me tell you this..." She took a sip of tea, and an imperceptible smile flashed in the corner of her eye, "To use chess as an analogy, the game between you and him is over."

"Then..." Woody pushed his glasses, "...what's the result? Who won?"

"What do you think?" An Yueqin answered the question with a question.

"Puff... hehe... hahahaha meow~" Before Woody could react, Aoi Molly, who had already come to the floor-to-ceiling window and lay down, laughed out loud.

"Hehe..." After a moment, Woody also laughed. His laughter was not forced. On the contrary, his laughter revealed a kind of heartfelt joy, "Although it's not the first time I've lost, but losing to a mortal... hehehe..." He shook his head and let out a long breath, "There's another interesting guy in this world..."

"Yes..." An Yueqin also responded, "In every sense..." As she said this, she turned her eyes to the computer screen in front of her, "He has shown me an interesting and unforgettable story."
