Virtual World: Conquering the World Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Spirit of Grief
The living room was very calm.  Moreover it was very hot since there was no air conditioning.
I was profusely sweating, but I couldn’t say anything since the little beautiful girl called Ling Xue was still sleeping in the room.  But this living room didn’t even have a sofa so I didn’t know what to do.
Finally, my eyes fell onto the gaming helmet.  I suddenly had a burst of inspiration, this is too good!
I had installed a gaming connection in the living room and now it seemed like it would finally be used.  Whether this helmet was a gaming helmet for «Spirit of Grief», I would know after I tried it!
So, I immediately took out the connection cord out from the bag and installed it according to the instructions.  Then I sat in corner as I put on the gaming helmet.
For a minute, my brain went completely blank.  Then after, a synthetic voice was heard -
“Now scanning iris.  Player’s identity has been confirmed!  Do you wish to enter the game?”
My thoughts were quickly transmitted, “Confirm!”
“Hello, your serial number is 000000002.  Your iris has already been locked!”
I was shocked.  Fuck, after putting on the helmet, it actually locked onto me.  Doesn’t this basically mean that I’ve stolen her helmet?
Come to think about it, she’s occupying my room!  Forget it.  Since it’s already been locked, I’ll just think of a way to repay her later!
The system’s voice sound once again, “I’m sorry!  The game is still not open for access.  Please patiently wait another 23 hours and 42 minutes before entering the game.  Please create your character first!”
I pressed to create a character and suddenly the scenery flashed.  It felt cool and I appeared in a wasteland, in front of me several characters appeared.  One was a human, one was an elf, and there was even one that was an orc.
I’ve also heard that there would be hidden characters to choose from, but the chances of them appearing was one in ten million.  It seemed like I wouldn’t have a chance!
So, I chose the human character.
“Now carrying out face scanning, please wait a bit!”
Not long passed  and a person that looked exactly like me appeared in front.  It was wearing a set of cloth armor and looked exactly like a newbie!
Then, nothing else happened as the system prompted -
“The game is not open yet, please wait patiently!”
Then, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed and it all turned into a blood soaked battlefield!
Inside of a large canyon, there were people screaming and horses neighing.  Humans, elves, and orcs were all fighting together against an evil force.  A mage wearing a dark robe was throwing a large fireball, while a beautiful female archer wearing leather armor was pulling the string back on her bow again and again, cold light filled the air as arrows fell down on the enemy camp.  A large group of  berserkers brandished long spears and axes as their whole body was covered in a red glow and they smashed into enemy skeleton soldiers.  Their axes swept across and skeleton soldiers were smashed to pieces!
On the side, a dark element magician cloaked in a black robe let out a low breathless growl.  He waved his dark wand and countless meteors fell down from the sky.  Flames bloomed and the berserkers found themselves in a sea of blood.  Their heavy armor had been burnt away!
White light shined out and gentle elemental healing fell onto the bodies of the berserkers.  The shining clerics in the camp began to recite their healing magic.  Several shadowy figures crept into the dark force’s camp and only a faint light was seen before several dark magicians lost their heads and dark skeletons were blown away.
At this time, the air filled with fluttering snowflakes as they fell down upon the canyon!
As the sky filled with snowflakes floating on the breeze, large chunks of ice began to fall down.  The light side camp suffered countless casualties and everyone looked up.  There were all surprised to see a four winged demon floating in the sky with his arms spread out, loudly chanting a profound incantation!
The canyon filled with a ice as countless living beings fought on the edge of death.
Suddenly, a bright light shined and a bone chilling sword qi swept across the canyon.  The demon suddenly let out a scream, a pair of wings had been sliced off!
The magic incantation was stopped and the large demon fell into the canyon where it was ripped apart by countless berserkers!
The angle shifted up and in a place high above the canyon, there stood a single impressive looking and handsome young man.  A sword was in his hand and sword qi glowed around him, but what was most shocking was that his hair had turned white as ice.  Looking down on the vast landscape, his eyes were clear, but they revealed a trace of loneliness and sadness.
Thunder roared in the horizon indicating that another storm was approaching!
Faintly, giant glowing characters shined in the air, it was an impressive looking “Spirit of Grief”!
Perhaps it was because this game seemed too much like the real game that I was completely shocked.  For a long time I didn’t say anything, but I was sure that this gaming helmet was a Spirit of Grief helmet!  Then, the identity of the girl in the room was even more surprising.  How did she game helmet in advance and why was the serial number 000000002.  Then that meant, the helmet that I just used, it was the second one made!
The game was still a day from opening.  I lowered my head and took off the helmet, feeling my body covered in sweat.  After having a peek, I had to agree that this game truly was worthy being a game that had been developed after ten years of hard work.  Whether it was the degree of realism or the detail of the game, it was all enough to make a person feel immersed and make their blood boil!
In the game’s trailer, the handsome young swordsman had defeated the four winged demon in a single attack.  Was that an indication that players had the chance to reach that stage?
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help reveal a smile.  If I could achieve this state in the game then wouldn’t I be travel unfettered in the world?  Wouldn’t I be able to sit on top of the world?
At this time, I smelled a burnt smell.  Then I remembered, my small vegetable porridge was still cooking!
I quickly ran into the kitchen and turned off the power.  Seeing the miserable looking vegetable porridge, I didn’t have any appetite.
The girl called Ling Xue sleeping in my room was completely drunk, she definitely wouldn’t let me in.  I could only pull the yellow cloth off the table and use it to cover myself as I slept for a night!  Fuck, everyone else can have luck with girls, I had the fucking luck to meet such a beautiful little girl, but it turned out to be bad luck still!
I didn’t know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt a light flash on my face.  My eyes opened and I saw a fatty pointing a flashlight at me!
I was instantly enraged, but right as I was about to let it out, I realized that this fatty was that dog landlord!
The landlord looked at me in contempt as he said, “Ding Shu Sheng, your next month’s rent, it’s time to pay!  If you keep dragging it out, I can only kick you out!  So late, what are you doing sleeping outside?”
I looked up at the clock in the living room, it was already 2 am.  So I asked, “Why is landlord here so late?”
“I’m here to see the electric breaker, several rooms keep losing power.  You, when are you going to pay your rent!?
My heart skipped a beat.  The money I was going to use to pay the landlord had been stolen, where would I get the money for the landlord?
At this time, an “Aiya” sound was heard.  The room to my room opened and the beautiful, elegant Ling Xue came out!
Ling Xue’s clothes were a little loose, but they still highlighted her graceful features.  Moreover it helped showcase a kind of charming, careless look.
“I want to drink some water!”  Ling Xue had her eyes half closed as she sleepily said.
For a while, the landlord was in a daze.  Then he recover himself a bit and said, “You little brat, you can actually get such a beautiful girlfriend!  Forget it, I’ll come next again next time.  Humph, quickly find a job or else I really won’t be polite!”
The landlord finished with this and closed the door as he left.
At this time, Ling Xue had already rested for around 7-8 hours, she had long become sober.  She blinked her eyes as she looked at me and suddenly said, “I want to drink some water…..”
I rolled my eyes and at the behest of an unnatural power, I poured a warm cup of water.  If a beautiful girl wanted you to do something, you couldn’t just ignore them!
Ling Xue received the cup of water and drank it all down.  Then she looked at me and revealed a happy expression as she said, “You’re called Ding Shu Sheng?”
I was a little embarrassed as I said, “It’s Ding Shu Sheng.  Shu from comfortable and Sheng from promotion.  It’s not bookworm!”
Ling Xue gave a faint smile and used a hand to fix her hair as she said, “What you’re called isn’t important.  What is important is that I’m hungry…….Can you give me something to eat?”
I stared at her, “It’s this late, where would you go to eat?  Even the convenience stores are closed!”
Ling Xue wrinkled her brows and said, “I drank that much alcohol, if I don’t eat anything, my stomach will hurt!”
Actually if you don’t eat anything, your stomach will still hurt.
So I said, “What is a perfectly fine girl doing by herself drinking until she becomes like this?”
“You don’t need to care!”  Ling Xue loudly said this sentence.  Then she turned away and said in a low voice, “How do you know that I’m perfectly fine……”
I was silent as I walked over to the kitchen.  I picked up the pot of vegetable porridge and put it on the table with a “pa” as I said, “I only have this.  If you’re willing then eat a bit.  If you’re not willing then you can drive yourself and find a restaurant, your car is still downstairs!”
Ling Xue was a little astonished.  Her beautiful eyes swept down and she stared at the vegetable porridge for a while with a strange expression.
“You eat this?”  She cautiously asked.
I didn’t have anything to be embarrassed about as I nodded my head, “That’s right, I can only afford this kind of food!”
At this time, my stomach gave a “gu, gu” sound and Ling Xue looked at me in surprise.  Suddenly a charming smile bloomed on her face as she smiled and asked, “You haven’t eaten yet?  If you haven’t, then how about we share this bowl of vegetable porridge?”
I was a little startled.  There wasn’t much in the pot, it wasn’t even enough for a single bowl!
As if she could read my thoughts, Ling Xue gave a faint smile and slowly walked into the kitchen.  She took out another bowl and split the pot of vegetable porridge between the two bowls.  Then she pushed a bowl in front of me and smiled as she said, “Come, no need to be polite!”

At this moment, I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing.  A beautiful girl who drove a BMW and wore a full set of brand name clothes was actually willing to eat a bowl of porridge that even beggars disdained with me?
