Chapter 140
Because he was too excited, Sui Xiong spent most of an hour talking, and then calmed down .
Acaine responded at the beginning . Later, he just listened earnestly, and could no longer interpose; because he couldn’t understand Chinese .
Yes, when it came to the end, Sui had already lost control of excitement in his heart and spoke Chinese .
This kind of excitement naturally had its reason – how many years had he been away from his home, alone in this foreign place, making a living? He ate raw fish and drank cold water . He only saw strange men, and could not see the traces of his hometown . He could not find the slightest hope to return home, or even have a little thing that could carry his emotion!
But today, he finally found something that could carry his emotions and comfort his homesickness! And it was something he liked very much .
Games!
For him, a former game enthusiast, what could be better than the game that could comfort his homesickness?
Food? Don’t tease . Take a look at his current shape; what could he eat to get full? Not to mention that he was only a jellyfish now . He was thankful that he wouldn’t be used as a food for others .
Languages? Creating and promoting a language would cause much trouble for others! Let’s be honest! When he was a student, the most hated subject was mathematics, the second was physics, and the third was a foreign language!
He hated most subjects, including Chinese, chemistry, biology, geography, history, politics, sports, etc… . Besides music and fine art, he hated everything else!
He couldn’t bear to recall his past, and was separated from that period .
Sui Xiong once thought carefully; what methods should be used to place his own homesickness? Now he had finally found it!
So he was excited . He was so excited he was dancing, he was incoherent .
When he gradually calmed down, he began to seriously discuss the feasibility of this plan .
After some discussion, they finally determined that this plan was completely feasible!
“A playground with the theme of adventure and hunting? This is a very appropriate statement!” Acaine praised, admiringly, “Your adjectives have been used very well; and the name is too relevant! The place where people play is a ‘playground!’”
It was only then he realized that in this world, there seemed to be no such thing as a playground .
The civilians in this world lived hard lives . They worked all day and they couldn’t save much money . A family farmer worked hard for a year, and after paying taxes, and the necessary daily expenses were deducted, perhaps only one gold coin would be left . This also required him to encounter a relatively generous lord; otherwise, the rest could only be calculated by using silver coins .

Why were the pioneers still coming to the turbulent forest? It was because there was no lord here, and no tax was required .
It was the church that controlled the development of the village, and most of the church’s priests had little interest in worldly wealth . Good priests were keen to help others . Evil priests were keen to demonstrate majesty . All in all, it was to let the world understand that they believed in the greatness of the Gods . Then as long as they all came to believe, it was good .
As for money? What purpose did it serve? Even if you could eat it, it was not worth paying attention to for these devotees, who voluntarily came to the outbacks of the poor areas to publicize the glory of Gods .
Like the White-leaf Village that Sui had seen before, it seemed to him a terrible place . However, virtually every family could get one or two, or even three gold coins each year . This income level was similar to a middle-class family, compared with the average farmer household on the continent . Sui Xiong only saw the general landscape when playing games .
It was no wonder that even after the war with the Shadow Devil, when Rhode was recruiting pioneers, many people still signed up .
The civilians of this world were really suffering too much!
The civilians had a hard lives and the nobles weren’t much better off . They were rich, but their lives were still quite boring . Listening to the poets who occasionally passed by sing songs, holding parties at home, or hunting with servants were all the enjoyment of most nobles .
Under such circumstances, there was an endless stream of desolation in the aristocratic circles .
Sui Xiong had asked Steele, “You are beautiful and talented, and you are the inheritor of a lord . Why are you putting all your energy into having sex? Why don’t you use the energy you put into seducing men on learning governmental affairs?”
“Why?” asked Steele .
“This way, you can smoothly inherit the title!”
“After that?”
“You can take over as a female lord . ”
“Then?”
“Make good governance and strive to make your own territory prosperous!”
“What about then?”
“And then, of course, you can enjoy life!”
“Finally; that’s what it is!” Steele laughed, “Geerteng City is shabby . If I want to enjoy life, I only need to have sex . Like what you said, the final thing for me is to be a good lord, but even then, I can only have enjoyment by having sex . ”

Sui was shocked, and could not help but sigh . “You are so convincing that even I’m speechless…”
This was the life of nobles; and the entertainment of small traders and artisans was not as good as the nobles’ . Often, they only spent what they earned in pubs, casinos, and brothels, gaining some insignificant pleasure .
Only places like Gars City would have entertainment venues such as theaters and circuses, allowing those with more spiritual needs to find satisfaction . For example, the wife of the late owner of Gars City was a female artist who was passionate about opera .
However, nothing more .
All in all, people in this world had a very poor spiritual life and lacked proper entertainment . If they could build a safer playground, it was believed that there would be a large number of people with money and spiritual emptiness rushing in and spending here .
Sui Xiong even conceived a lot of facilities for playgrounds, from relaxing spas and massages to music halls and libraries, and pubs that let people boast . He put forward the various entertainment facilities in his own impression, one by one, and he and Acaine carefully discussed their feasibility . Eventually, they finalized a huge plan .
“It’s a great design!” Acaine couldn’t help but praise . A few days later, when passionate discussions came to an end and they looked at the huge model made by Sui’s tactics, Acaine was impressed . “This city is bound to become the world center of entertainment! And you will certainly become the God of Entertainment in this world!”
Sui Xiong laughed three times, proudly .
“God of Entertainment? Oh! This title is for me . I am very satisfied!”
After completing the design, Acaine continued to research and improve the mushrooms . As the foundation of the future city of entertainment, his mushrooms were of great importance, and needed further improvement .
However, Sui Xiong mobilized his body and flew to the largest of the locations Frost and Graupel found to be suitable for the construction of the town, and slowly landed .
“Do it by myself, and I will have a lot of harvests . ” He smiled to himself and started to dig . Idleness led to nothing, so he decided to dig out the planned underground city .
It was surprisingly cold here, and the deeper he went, the more intense negative the energy was . Therefore, it was not easy to build a large underground city on his own .
Sui Xiong was not a person who cared about superficial prestige . If he thought it was necessary, he would sweep the streets . What was more, this was building his ideal city of entertainment . Doing it on his own not only did no harm to his prestige, but instead gave him a sense of achievement in his construction .
Seeing that the earth was being dug away little by little, and the deep underground was excavated into a huge maze, he was feeling full with satisfaction, and his mood was getting better and better .
He had never understood before why people would spend months building virtual castles in games .
Now he understood! The feeling of building a city was really amazing!
He worked in the dark underground, digging the earth and creating a huge space . Then he used spells to reinforce the walls and columns to ensure they did not collapse .
After completing the basic structure, he added various things to this space . For example, at the center of the maze, the walls would make every explorer dizzy, and give a sense of infinite exploration in a limited space . As for water and fire, the former could enhance liveliness and provide drinking water for the monsters living here, while the latter could provide lighting and enhance the atmosphere of adventure .
Besides, he would also create a large variety of rocks and sculptures, through which he formed a truly cultural atmosphere that allowed every adventurer to actually feel that this maze was not a crude basement, but the foundation of a large cultural system .
His ideas were more and more complex, and more and more places needed to be designed and modified . Almost every day, he had new ideas . After he reviewed, many of them were put into practice by him and became part of this huge underground city .
He would have be building this way until the entire city was completely built . But during the autumn harvest, his work was interrupted .
Ray invited him to go to Gars City, to participate in the revival celebration .

Sweetleaf Cultivation
If you’re reading this. Not cool Dude! Or Dudette. Hashtag Resist. Seriously though, it’s not nice to read other people's diaries. Yes, it's a diary, kind of. The only men who call their diaries journals have an issue with their own masculinity I think. Well, I guess I can’t be too angry, considering if this is in anyone else’s hands I’m probably dead. Or I lost it. I lose stuff a lot. Since you’re here, regardless of the reason, I guess I’ll tell my story, such as it is. I know, why tell my story when I could tell you about the Fall of Killianor, or the story of when Micha the Bold banded together with his underdog group of misfits to destroy the Pallantine Regime. Hell, even the tale of Tulsa and Gran’s star crossed love affair would probably be better. If you don’t think so after finishing this you more than likely have poor taste. Weird taste, at any rate. Hello RR! Welcome to the greatest work of fiction you will ever read! ... .... Did you believe that? Cause its not. At all. This is my first work that I will have published in any fashion, and to be completely honest is more to gain practice for my real story. That is not to say I do not care about it. I do. I will do my best to finish it in, if not satisying, at least a conclusive manner. I will warn you however that updates will be infrequent at best though chapter length will not be under 2000 words. I work third shift currently, and at over 40 hours a week I do not have much time to really devote to this at the moment. I DO have an outline for the novel complete, but currently only about 5 actual chapters written and edited. There will be mistakes, including grammar and continuity, plot holes, etc.. If you see these please either comment or feel free to message me directly, and I will get it updated asap. Aside from a fledgeling authors mishaps, expect to find a somewhat comedic slice of life, with a mish mash of xianxia and western fantasy themes, tropes and the like. There will be some gore, network tv levels of sexuality, and absolutely no harems. There will also be COPIUS amount of swearing and drug use and while I said there would be no harems already he may find people in polyamorous situations. I hope you enjoy this, and as a last aside I beg of you not to rate it super low without justification, and if you give a bad rating please leave an actual review so that i know what I need to work on. *Original cover as of 09/01/20. Mishmash of stock photos and edits. HAVE FUN!

Zeroth Knight re: Dawn
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Updated twice a day. Evangeline Sayagawa makes the ultimate choice at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice: She decides to leave her world that she fought so hard to return to, and return to Arsea in hopes of saving everyone. Little was she aware of just how bad things had gotten. The world she was returning to was cast into chaos and on the precipice of being destroyed. She awakens in this new kind of Arsea, after having witness the end of a dear friend. The world now belonged to the monstrosities of old, the Beta, and their corrupted human warriors, the Eld. With her fake identity, that which defined her in this world, being stripped from her, she now has to navigate a darkness in which not even the women she loves recognize her. This is book 2 of the Evangeline Sayagawa "Zeroth Knight" story, with book 1 being found here. The first "chapter" posted here is a hyper-condensed version of volume/book 1, in case anyone needs a generalized refresher of events, or for those who wish to start with this book instead as it is faster paced and more action-packed than the first one. Suffice to say, but most of the details from book 1 are lost by doing this; however, enough of the more-important information is present to allow one to understand the general idea of what is going on. This book features a mostly lesbian cast and deals more so with fate and crises of identity more than anything else. However, there is much more action in this one than any of my other stories thus far and brings about the end of Evangeline Sayagawa's story arch... sort of. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: "Escape The KNIGHT" Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR Follow me on Twitter @Ozefen0 to stay up to date on my stories and what have you.

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.
