Chapter 69: I’m Zhao Ritian

The four people came to the window and looked down. At the end of the long street, a few people on horseback rode towards them rapidly. They were dressed flamboyantly and were loud, as the pedestrians fled in horror.

The rich kids had three traits: to speed in their cars, pick up girls, and flaunt their wealth. It was all the same, regardless of in reality or in the virtual world.

If it was a typical internet story 10 years ago, they would have harassed a beauty and the protagonist would then appear to save the day.

As soon as this idea floated across his mind, Li Xianyu saw a small but beautiful girl on the street wandering towards them. He then gave out a scream of terror.

The men were caught off guard as they attempted to stop their horses, but to no avail. As the girl was about to be trampled by the horses, a tall figure dashed out at a speed comparable to that of Liu Xiang. His figure was more well-built than Kobe’s figure. He grabbed the girl and rolled across the street, avoiding the horses.

After rushing out a few meters, the men then managed to stop their mount. They turned their horses around and shouted, “Do you want to die, you idiot? Oh, the young lady is so cute, do you wanna go back and play with us?”

The men on their horses surrounded the small girl and the young man.

Seeing this scene, Li Xianyu felt a kind of indescribable disgust. It wasn’t disgusting because of the way the rich kids behaved or because of the old way of rescuing the damsel in distress. How was he to put it…? The plot was forced, just too forced. It was just like reading a third-rate online novel where the author over-compensated by forcing the plot to be unbelievably stale, to the point where it was an insult to readers’ IQ.

Just now, the girl rushed out of the street by herself, as if she was specially prepared for the appearance of Long Aotian.

“That’s too fake. Isn’t that a loophole?” Li Xianyu sputtered out.

“This is indeed a minor loophole. Besides, it is unreasonable for the princess to leave the palace without a guard by her side. Moreover, the imperial palace is strictly guarded, yet a defenceless little princess can sneak out. This itself is a huge logical loophole.” Lady Killer said, “Our colleagues have pointed out this loophole, but Long Aotian ignored it and did not even bother to patch it.”

“To otakus, this does not matter. They are all like that. Everything only serves the plot, and the supporting parts don’t need IQ. In fact, all the supporting roles are carved from one model, replaced by a suit of armor and a map, and they appear repeatedly. Most of the readers curse to themselves as they read.” Li Xianyu said, “She’s a princess. Wow, she’s pretty.”

He saw the two people that were surrounded. If there was a word to describe the girl: perfect!

Although his beautiful sister was picky, Li Xianyu still couldn’t find the flaws in her facial features. She was just a little too young. She looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. She wasn’t his type.

Long Aotian was indeed a lolicon and a pedophile. Eccentric indeed.

When he saw Long Aotian, there was only one thought in his mind: it was impossible that there was such a handsome man in the world. I disagree with this. Long Aotian’s suaveness was indescribable. Even the best figurative phrases were undeserving.

If this face were to exist in the real world, he could become the richest man in the world just by living off women. It would trump Jack Ma, kill Ma Huateng in seconds, and let Wang Shoufu disintegrate with just one look.

Thinking about how Long Aotian looked in real life, Li Xianyu was pained. Didn’t his conscience act up?

“The princess is one of Long Aotian’s haram?” Li Xianyu asked.

“Yes, it is also his stronghold in the Infinite Empire. After this hero saves the princess, the princess will be devoted to him, and marry only him. After a few months of pretending to force the plot, there will be an uproar amongst the country. The princes and nobles will react in disbelief. Lady Killer said, “In another six months, the princess will give birth to his child.”

Give birth to his child?!

Li Xianyu was shocked. The little princess was only fourteen years old. She was underage.

Was the death penalty too easy on him?

“How do you know?” he asked.

“The script will be recycled,” said Lady Killer. “Although the script has been written from the earthly realm all the way to the upper reaches, the development of the current virtual world is still only at the earthly realm stage. Long Aotian will reset the game after finishing the earthly realm, and start from a firewood gatherer again. A script cycle lasts about four days in reality, which is about three years in the virtual world.”

He had discovered another vile thing about internet novels. How could the male lead bear to violate a 13 or 14 year old girl? They were absolute beasts.

Would anyone be interested in a short, flat-chested girl who had just started junior high school? The old times were the lolicon’s dream eras.

Jealousy made Li Xianyu’s face look ugly. He said, “I have a bold idea. Why don’t we take the opportunity to get rid of Long Aotian? He’s still a useless firewood gatherer. Let’s cripple him until he can’t get out of the novices’ village.”

Lady Killer shook his head. “This method has also been tried. Everyone who attempted to kill Long Aotian in the novice village was either killed by thunder, or defeated by a reclusive master. They died in all kinds of ways. In the end, Long Aotian remained safe and sound.”

“The protagonist’s aura of immortality?”

In this case, how would they attack Long Aotian’s virtual world?

The geniuses could not bypass it. Those that managed to did not manage to beat the element of luck. Those with luck did not manage to get past those who cheated, while those who cheated did not manage to bypass the protagonist’s aura of immortality.

“Yes, although Long Aotian is immersed in the virtual world and can not distinguish between reality and illusion, his subconscious mind is manipulating the formation and protecting himself.”

If it was subconscious, then the ability of thinking and reaction time was certainly not as good as subjective consciousness. This could be an opportunity.

Li Xianyu suddenly thought of something. “Since we can’t kill him, why don’t we try to make friends with him?”

“Make friends?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Lady Killer looked at him.

“It’s better to be a friend than an enemy.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Lady Killer looked at each other and were suddenly surprised. How could they not have thought about this? This method sounded very feasible. The latter patted him on the shoulder as he said, “Yes, that’s right. In the past, I only thought about how to defeat Long Aotian, or wake him up with my mouth. I never thought about making friends with Long Aotian.”

At this time, the conflict in the street started to escalate. The leader of the gang lashed out towards the ground with a horse whip as it made a crisp noise. He looked down at the beautiful young man, and sneered: “Long Aotian, you are just a wastrel of the Long family, you dare to snatch my girl?”

Long Aotian did not speak, but looked at them coldly.

“You fought with Fourth Prince over a girl last month in Qingfeng Pavilion. Your bones were broken. If you know you’re beneath us, just hide at home and be a hermit. Know your place, piece of trash,” the leader proclaimed arrogantly.

His companions laughed arrogantly as well.

“It’s against the law for you to do this. I’ll ask my father to…. capture you for your sins!” the big loli shouted defiantly.

“Lass, do you know who Prince Ye is? The guards in the city all listen to his brother. His brother is Ye Liangchen, one of the five Princes of Infinite City, the future husband of Princess Gaoyue. Who is your father?”

“Lass, no woman that Prince Ye has laid his eyes on has escaped from his clutches.”

The other princes backed each other up with gusto.

“Why would he arrange such a scenario for himself? Is Long Aotian a masochist?”

Li Xianyu said, “Battle Lady, you won’t understand this. The typical plot is to first suppress and then raise. The worse the protagonist is humiliated, the more depressed the reader will be. Then, when the protagonist stands out, you will feel a sense of satisfaction. If I guess correctly, Princess Gaoyue is the little girl.”

Lady Killer patted him on the shoulder. “You’re good, you guessed it right.”

Li Xianyu smiled confidently, having read a lot of books. From Abin to Old Master Qin, from Hou Longtao to Bai Jie, he was familiar with them all.

The guy surnamed Ye roared, “Take her away.”

They seemed ready to seize the woman.

“The opportunity has come!” Li Xianyu jumped at the window and roared, “Stop it! Old thieves… Ah, shameless dog thieves, horse-riding in the street, robbing women by force! There are laws and regulations here! As long as I, Zhao Ritian is here, don’t dream of being a criminal.”

Long Aotian, Princess Gaoyue, as well as the princes all turned their heads and looked at him.
