"Ah, the joy of Little Overlord..."

In an old building in Mardis, the moment Feng Yi stepped into the room, a crisp startup sound greeted his ears, "You're back, looks like you're ahead of schedule."

"The conflict between the two clans ended sooner than expected, so our itinerary might be delayed by a few days, probably about a month, is that alright?"

"It's insignificant to me, but what do you plan to do?"

Feng Yi said awkwardly, "It's nothing particularly important, the coordinates are in Sky City, for a gathering among friends, you should come along too."

"Uh... come along? Are there people in Sky City who play video games?"

"Of course there are, and they're really good at it."

"Haha, then I'm fine with it. Let's set off in a month, especially since the dimensional measurements are different, traveling back and forth to the Canying Universe might take a long time."

"A long time, huh? Even if the universe is destroyed, you still yearn for your homeland..."

Feng Yi mumbled, lost in brief contemplation. He had promised Allen before to use the 'transcendence' power to take Allen back to the Canying Universe, even if it's just for a meeting, but he didn't know how long the round trip would take; it could be a moment, or ten thousand years, or it might become eternity.

Feng Yi asked, "What kind of spatial concept is the sixth dimension?"

"It's indescribable. It's hard to clearly explain the structure of the six-dimensional space with human thinking. Simply put, the human body cannot linger in the Canying Universe, even you can only travel back and forth through the spiritual consciousness of the universe entity, or by using the 'transcendence' power to change your body structure into six-dimensional space particles. Unfortunately, I cannot cross higher dimensions."

"Ahem, let's not talk about that for now." Allen said as he switched to another game, indicating that he wanted to challenge Feng Yi in Contra, the kind where you go through the game without shooting anyone.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi was shocked. Why challenge me again? Even with all his experience, he wasn't confident in having zero mistakes, so he quickly thought and took out Eggy: "Alright, let it play with you, this green-skinned dinosaur is usually the most playful."

"Hahahaha, young man it seems you're scared, let me finish it off then I'll come back for you." Allen inwardly delighted, letting out a bizarre sly laugh...

Feng Yi looked up to the heavens speechless, was it that funny? From the gameplay, this person was indeed not inferior to him. At this moment, he was not too confident either, but it was not enough to be so excited, seems the biological differences are evident, or maybe this guy has been lonely in the universe's deep space for too long, rarely found joy and became hooked on it.

"Hey old man, who are you?"

Afraid of an awkward silence, Allen replied, "Feng Yi's friend, you must be Eggy."

"Yes, if you're looking for me to play games, you've come to the wrong person, I've never lost, let's make a bet."

"Huh? A bet?"

"Any game will do, you can choose the game, but I decide the bet."

When it comes to any game, Allen wasn't afraid, he would definitely pick the game he's best at to gamble with it, okay, let's do it, pick whatever inflatable dolls you want, the second-hand market has plenty, thus an intense round of Contra began.

But Allen had his conditions too, a condition limitation: the whole process must involve shooting but not killing people, whoever accidentally kills a soldier loses.

With the rule constraints, Eggy couldn't help but take it seriously. This seemingly shooting-without-killing Contra was actually much more difficult than a single-player game.

As for why, the reason was simple, because the two of them were playing simultaneously, the chaotic battlefield made it sometimes hard to distinguish between friendly and enemy bullets, plus the strict rule of shooting without killing, and the mutual screen-tugging interference. While you're shooting all through without killing, you not only have to worry about enemy soldiers but also safeguard against your ally.

This logic is simple, for instance, when Eggy controls the character to jump forward, there's a gap ahead, and Allen chooses to pull back at that moment, leaving Eggy no spare screen, causing Eggy's character to jump straight into the abyss to meet its demise.

It happened exactly as Feng Yi saw, merely in the first stage, this game of wits and courage joyfully proceeded in mutual harm.

Allen controlled Player 1, and Eggy controlled Player 2.

Coincidentally, just as Eggy chose to jump forward, Allen, with quick reflexes, hurriedly chose to pull back.

The result was predictable, no matter how smart Eggy was, it couldn't recover in the irreversible situation, since every character's jump action had mid-air rigidity, and then Eggy jumped into the chasm...

"Wahahahahaha you lost, you can't beat Grandpa Eggy." Eggy laughed heartily.

Huh? Wasn't Eggy the one who died? Watching Eggy's exuberant expression, Feng Yi took a closer look, only to realize that as Allen pulled the screen backward, an enemy soldier happened to approach from the front, directly crashing into his face, killing him.

It turned out, when Eggy chose to jump into the abyss, it had already calculated the exact time for an enemy soldier to appear behind the screen, so Allen died before it.

"But you died too."

"But you died first."

"Not talking about who died first or last, neither of us won."

After five minutes of arguing, the two decided to restart the game, setting a rule: the first to die is deemed the loser.

Both were evidently more cautious the second time, avoiding standing at the screen's edge, and not staying too close to each other to prevent being sabotaged.

Even Feng Yi, standing on the side, was sweating for them, it was practically a thrilling marathon, the excitement of which far surpassed the game itself—have you ever seen the ice city at 4 AM? Have you seen two-player Contra shooting all the way without killing anyone? Have you seen the best of the old and young poking each other across the game?

Feng Yi wanted to say he's seen it!

At this point, sweat was already forming on Allen's forehead, Eggy was also intensely focused, and as the chair made a sound, the excited Allen suddenly fell with too much force, falling toward Eggy's direction, whether intentionally or not...

Under the momentum, Eggy, caught off-guard and with a slight control slip, had its character jump toward the bullets shot by a monster...

This... this situation is absolutely unavoidable, because unlike the game, reality's program is fixed, and even the best operator can't save the game in such a tight scenario.

"Hahahahaha..." Allen, mixed with a slight apology and more pretentious laughter, chuckled proudly, "Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to bump into you, really sorry young man! Hahaha cough..."

His laughter abruptly stopped, as the freeze-frame appeared, the smile on Allen's face gradually faded...

"What the... what happened?"

"Crash... it crashed, all of a sudden... if you're asking me, I don't know either." As he spoke, Eggy discreetly pulled a cable from the FC Little Overlord game console, then laughed loudly: "Hehehe... what luck!"
