[Lumine: That's definitely cause for celebration.]
[Kurumi: Congratulations.]
[Kiana: Damn it, you surpassed me again.]
[Stelle: Victor, come praise me!]
[Victor: Yes, yes, my Stellebao is awesome!]
[Stelle: Give me more compliments, I love hearing them!]
[Victor: Stellebao is the most powerful, invincible in the universe! I love you! ♡(ӦvӦ.)]
Faced with a request from his girlfriend, Victor would naturally be generous with his praise.
[Stelle: (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]
[Rin: Can you two stop showing off your relationship in the chat group?]
[Belle: Yes, I protest!]
[Tsunade: You guys are in great spirits this early in the morning.]
[Victor: Early in the morning? Check what time it actually is.]
[Tsunade: What the hell! Why is it already half past ten? Isn't time passing too fast?]
[Bai Yuekui: When cultivating, time really does pass quickly.]
[Tsunade: Ahem, I didn't cultivate last night…]
[Victor: No need to guess, you drank too much and overslept.]
[Tsunade: No more chatting, I have to go to work.]
[Stelle: Kiana, come fight me! I lost to your sneak attack last time. This time I must avenge my defeat!]
[Kiana: Do you hear yourself? What realm am I in? What realm are you in? Do you have the nerve to challenge me? Why don't you go fight Victor instead?]
[Stelle: If I fight him, I'll win, believe it!]
[Lumine: Wait, Stelle, did your breakthrough damage your brain? How can you be confident enough to defeat Victor, a Nascent Soul master, when you just reached early Golden Core stage?]
[Victor: I'm also curious about this.]
[Stelle: Because I'm your woman! You can't bear to hit me!]
[Lumine: Bullshit logic.]
[Victor: Actually, I'm perfectly willing to.]
[Stelle: ???]
[Victor: Fight on the bed, use my Divine Emperor Weapon to battle from the headboard to the footboard, without stopping.]
[Shinobu: ଲ(ⓛ ω ⓛ)ଲ]
[Stelle: (๑✧◡✧๑)]
[Kurumi: Ara ara, is Mr. Victor's combat ability that impressive?]
[Kiana: If you've got guts, wait until I reach Golden Core stage and come fight me, I'll beat your ass!]
[Stelle: An old woman who only knows how to sneak attack. Hard to say whose ass will get beaten!]
"Hey, Stelle, are you listening to me?"
Markh 7th's voice rang in her ears, pulling Stelle's attention back from the chat group panel.
Stelle scratched her head. "Did you say something just now?"
Markh 7th held her forehead and sighed helplessly. "I knew you weren't listening."
"I'll say it again. Ms. Herta said the game Mr. Victor asked her to make is finished. She wants you to notify him to come pick it up."
"Oh, oh!"
Stelle nodded and immediately turned her attention to the chat group again.
[Stelle: Victor, are you free? Come over here. The game you asked Herta to make is ready.]
[Victor: Oh? It's finally done? I'll be right over.]
[Shinoa: Game? What game?]
[Victor: You'll find out in a moment.]
After saying that, Victor used his time-travel talisman and arrived in Stelle's world.
He appeared in the Astral Express's observation car as usual.
Then Victor brought Stelle and Markh 7th to Herta's office.
However, what surprised Victor was that Herta herself wasn't there this time, only one of her puppets remained.
"You finally brought her. What took you so long?"
The Herta puppet's voice carried an impatient tone.
"That's because someone wasn't listening to me at all." Markh 7th rolled her eyes at Stelle.
Stelle gave an awkward but polite smile, trying to deflect.
"Forget it, as long as you're here."
The Herta puppet approached Victor and handed him a large box.
"Open it and take a look. Inside is what you requested."
Victor immediately opened the box, which contained dozens of gaming helmets along with supporting instruction manuals.
Herta picked up one of the gaming helmets and placed it on her head. "Put on the helmet, start the game, and you'll enter a virtual world nearly identical to reality."
"In the game, the system will detect the user's strength, physique, defense, and other attributes. Based on this information, it will simulate enemies of similar or even greater strength for the user to fight."
"Because it's a highly realistic virtual world, injuries and deaths within it will feedback pain and sensations to the user's body."
"That's perfect." Victor nodded. "This is exactly the effect I wanted."
Only through life-and-death battles could the girls' combat experience be rapidly improved!
"By the way, since this is version 1.0, the maximum strength of currently simulated enemies won't exceed the Golden Core Realm. And because there are no enemy templates for reference, the simulated monsters are basically enemies the user has encountered before."
"But don't worry, I've already started developing version 2.0. By then, not only will the enemy strength be enhanced, but the diversity of monsters will also increase."
"Then I'm counting on you."
Victor was very satisfied with these gaming helmets!
Although they could only simulate enemies at the Golden Core level for now, it was enough for the girls in the group for quite some time.
After all, aside from himself, the Nascent Soul master, only Stelle had reached the Golden Core stage in the group.
He waved his hand and stored the gaming helmets in his system space.
Then he distributed the helmets to the girls in the group as red envelope gifts.
[Tsunade: What is this?]
[Belle: I know this! It's a virtual game helmet!]
[Victor: That's right, but this gaming helmet isn't for playing ordinary games. Check the manual for details on what it's used for. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.]
After saying that, Victor went offline again.
"Thank you so much for these gaming helmets."
The Herta puppet waved her hand. "You're welcome. It's a business deal, after all."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go work on something."
After saying this, the Herta puppet stopped moving and stood there quietly, her eyes becoming empty and lifeless.
"Looks like she's offline."
Stelle poked the puppet's pale cheek.
She originally wanted to pinch it a few more times but was stopped by Markh 7th.
"Don't mess with her, or you'll get hit on the head with a sledgehammer by Ms. Herta."
Thinking of Herta's large hammer, Stelle couldn't help but shudder and immediately withdrew her hand.
She completely forgot that her current strength far surpassed Herta's.
"Here's a helmet for you."
Victor handed a gaming helmet to Markh 7th.
"Then I won't be polite!" Markh 7th didn't refuse and happily accepted the gift.
