The King of Black Fog

But one thing is certain, there must be a more outrageous item than the Eternal Sand World Fruit.

Since that's the case, what's there to be excited about?

The value game is a zero-sum game, with only one winner, the difference between second place and those who die at the start is none—at least for players who don't want their fate controlled by others.

Li Changzhou fought hard before to stay alive, for the day when he can travel the cosmos with them, see all the sights, and taste all the delicacies.

After encountering the Queen Mother and experiencing the threat, he was determined to become the winner.

He was qualified to fight for that position!

He wouldn't dare say he's the best among the players, most likely not, but so far, none of the players he's met were better than him, which is an ironclad fact.

Since that's the case, why couldn't he become the winner?

The goal is to be the winner, how can one find excitement in 'completing Earth Immortal cultivation in ninety days'?

Earth Immortal requires ninety days—not counting the time before acquiring the Eternal Sand World Fruit, doesn't Heavenly Immortal require nine hundred days? And wouldn't a Saint require nine thousand years?

Above all that is the Creation Realm!

Feeling Li Changzhou's thoughts, Guanyin fell into silence, after a long while, she said: [Considering this, ninety days isn't worth getting excited over.]

She even wanted to reincarnate as Li Changzhou's descendant.

Imagine, besides his own child, who else would he spend ninety days on to catalyze the Eternal Sand World Fruit?

Li Changzhou used teleportation to notify Si in advance, a minute later, he walked out of the vortex and appeared in Si's... wardrobe?

Clothes, densely packed clothes, even a shopping center filled with clothes wouldn't compare to the quantity here.

Si stood in the middle of the sea of clothes, wearing only a bra and shorts akin to safety pants, surrounded by a group of female... alien females matching outfits for her.

"What is this place?" Li Changzhou examined the surroundings, avoiding looking at Si.

"Backstage." Si said, "Next is my concert after dispelling the Ancient God Curse, you came just in time, bring Qianxia along, let her perform with me, doesn't she want to sing 'Pure Land'?"

"She deviated while cultivating, now she's healing in the deep sea, waiting for humanity to give her light next time, let's talk after that—I need to discuss something with you."

"Whatever it is, wait until the concert ends."

"It should, the concert is important, I can wait."

Glancing at the surrounding clothes, Li Changzhou asked just in case: "How long approximately?"

"Three days."

"...Alright then. Do you have internal tickets? Give me a few more."

Si stood motionless like a figurine, letting the aliens dress her in a gown, arranging the chest position; with a gentle flick of her fingers, thirty cards printed with her image flew into Li Changzhou's hands.

"Remember to disguise yourself," she said, "I don't want to see an alien fleet while singing."

"Not this one, bring over the twenty-fourth row from zone C." The stylist said.

The entire sea of clothes began to rotate, like a peach blossom array, with various styles of attire, exquisitely beautiful.

"Is it really necessary to have this much?" Li Changzhou was about to leave but couldn't help asking.

Si's three-meter figure was perfectly proportioned, tall and sexy, her skin was as white as snow.

She raised her foot and started taking off her gown, saying:

"For upright monkeys like you, with only three types of cone cells, seeing red, green, blue, while species on other planets have four, five, even sixteen, twenty types, my outfits need to satisfy all spectators' visuals, but no single outfit can do that, so I have to keep changing."

Li Changzhou nodded.

He didn't ask why not use Mier Metal that can change appearance, real clothing might make fans feel more heartfelt?

He arrived at the IAO Star.

Because of him, Luo Lei, Itheri, Hou Hou, Chris, and Da Yi could only live here.

Li Changzhou notified them, then covered his body with Mier Metal, sitting in a tavern.

Bang!!

Explosion-like engine sounds burst outside the door.

Shortly after, the door was kicked open, Itheri spinning the cip series flying car keys in her hand, walking in with long strides.

Both the keys and her long legs attracted many gazes.

"Over here." Li Changzhou half-raised his hand.

Itheri turned on her toes, walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"You came quickly." Li Changzhou said with a smile.

"I was nearby." Itheri dropped the keys, and said to the four-armed waiter, "A glass of Zhujang, I want square ice that can fit in my mouth to bite."

"How's everyone been lately?"

"Won quite a bit of money in the ranking competition, apart from being unable to leave this planet, there's no other inconvenience."

"Don't worry, the problem will soon be resolved."

Itheri took a sip from the wine glass: "Relying solely on the Divine Race isn't enough."

"News spreads really fast." Li Changzhou nodded and smiled, "But to solve the Alien Clan, I can handle it myself."

"I don't believe it." Itheri crunched on an ice cube.

"Then it means I've been dealt with by the Alien Clan, and the problem's gone all the same."

"Hurry up." Itheri urged.

"Hahaha!" Li Changzhou lifted his glass and clinked it with hers.

Itheri laughed.

After taking a sip, he put down the glass and waved towards the door: "Over here! Over here!"

Soon, everyone gathered together.

"Captain, do you need our help?" Da Yi asked.

The drinking Li Changzhou waved his hand, then set down his glass and took out a card: "I know you're bored, so I specially brought this for you."

The card is a tool equipped with teleportation functionality; after the concert starts, you can teleport to the seat corresponding to the card at any time.

There is one condition, to use the card for teleportation, you must be within a thousand light years of the concert venue.

Bang!

Da Yi fainted, being a proven, fanatical Sisi devotee.

Dr. Luo Lei casually rested one foot on Da Yi's body as if crossing her legs, saying: "I'm not interested in concerts."

"Of course, I know." Li Changzhou took out a small vial, it was opaque, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

"It's a little risky, be careful." He smiled as he handed the vial to the doctor.

Luo Lei held the vial up to the light for a look, asking him: "What is it?"

"A monster, after looking directly, you turn into the same kind of monster. Inside is a tiny bit of the monster's flesh."

Luo Lei's vibrant red tongue licked her lips.

"If you can figure it out, hmm— to a degree where it can be used as a weapon, I'll give you something amazing."

"How amazing?" Itheri asked curiously.

Li Changzhou leaned forward, lowering his voice: "Once this thing leaks, even Divine Will individuals will take action."

After finishing a glass of wine and leaving the IAO star, Li Changzhou took Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Turquoise Pool, Yafeiluna, Zheng Qing, Beia Triss, and the Central King to attend a concert.

It's important to clarify that all these people were invited by Li Qianxia, supposedly as employee benefits.

The concert venue was a starry sky opera house, with the audience seats forming a star ring; the scene was magnificent and dreamy, full of space opera flavor.

"Sisi is a cosmic-level star! Every concert has billions of viewers on site, counting online viewers, more than even the people on Earth!" Li Qianxia chattered non-stop with Beia, their shoulders touching.

On the other side, Li Changzhou asked Yafeiluna behind him: "How's the exploration of the new world going?"

Yafeiluna leaned slightly forward: "The advance team has already gathered enough information, next we plan to send in the army."

"Give me the specifics."

"Yes. The target planet's technological civilization is not advanced, akin to a medieval level. The main cultivation system focuses on gigantification. The development team believes that the planet's indigenous people could serve as one of the troop types in the future and are also pretty good for road construction, in..."

The lights suddenly went out, and Yafeiluna instinctively fell silent.

The star ring slowly rotated, countless spacecraft shot out arrow-like beams of light, all focusing on the opera house's water tank, then suddenly extinguished.

A distant and ethereal song rose.

"I'm on the colder side of Yellowfish Star's orbit, slowly gliding over the pitch-black abyss~"

"Ah!!!" The star ring seemed on the verge of exploding.

From afar, a light beam shot forth, resembling a pathway of light, with Sisi adorned in a resplendent long gown, gracefully flying over.

Positioned in the stands, it felt as though the whole world was about to erupt; Li Qianxia and Beia Triss waved glow sticks, cheering together.

In the overwhelming cheers, Yang Qinglan slightly curled up her body and exchanged glances with Turquoise Pool, feeling a sense of shared plight.

"Don't like it?!" Li Changzhou loudly asked the two with a smile.

—— It's not that, it's just too noisy. (Yang Qinglan voice transmission)

The two felt that doing this occasionally was also nice; attending a concert with millions in the audience, if not for the Value Game, would be impossible to experience on Earth in a lifetime.

The effort of living, isn't it to experience life?

Yet, players are destined to be strangers to enjoyment.
