Chapter 972: Chapter 536: You Madman Chapter 972: Chapter 536: You Madman Unlucky incarnate had no idea how Zhiyi Heavenly Lord had negotiated with the Golden Mother, only that after the talk, the Golden Mother joined the player team with much haughtiness and declared her determination to hold a grand concert.

There was so much she couldn’t grasp in the matter that unlucky incarnate didn’t even know where to start mocking.

Wasn’t the Golden Mother one of the Six Great Evil Gods? Why did she just join like that?

Such powerful beings were either set pieces or late-game bosses that players must push; what did it mean to just bring them out so early, with no build-up?

Okay, some players might still want to push this boss, considering that there were already posts on the forums saying how huge moms looked too risque and asking if there were similar games out there, you know, the kind where the male and female parties are unequal.

After all, who could resist the temptation of a planet mom?

But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was, why would an Evil God become a teammate?

And the condition for an Evil God to become a teammate was to hold an idol concert? What kind of light novel is this?

“The Idol I Push is a High-Aged Loli with a Height of 700,000 Kilometers”, a light novel author with this kind of setting had to be out of his mind.

And I must be insane to even come up with such a title!

Clutching her head, unlucky incarnate felt like her brain was about to burst.

Even if this was a game, could you please respect some basic laws?

What was even more absurd was that when unlucky incarnate wanted to find out why things had turned out this way, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord replied that the virtue she had offered was too little, so he couldn’t explain this game setting to her.

Damn game settings!

Too few good deeds, I’m sorry I couldn’t entertain His Lordship Zhiyi Heavenly Lord enough!

What felt even stranger to her was that this event seemed open to everyone, so why exactly was she picked?

When unlucky incarnate raised her doubts, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord looked at her as if she were a monkey and said, “You can’t ask me, the virtue you’ve given is too little, I really can’t explain it to you.”

“Don’t use the same gag twice!”

After fiercely mocking the absurd game setting in her mind, unlucky incarnate was speechless.

Tired, just let it all end.

You guys do whatever you want, I’ll just treat it as completing the task Boss Cheng gave me.

With that mindset, unlucky incarnate accepted the action macros given by others, and the entire process didn’t require her to lift a finger; just let her character perform the action macros.

The song wasn’t hers; the dance just required a button press, and the lead dancer was a huge Golden Mother; unlucky incarnate felt that her contribution to the process was even less than that of a parasite.

At least the parasites got a cameo in biology textbooks, while she was only fit for boosting the sales of biology books.

To be born human, truly, I am sorry.

She had thought this silly event wouldn’t draw much of a crowd, but when the idol concert began, unlucky incarnate was stunned.

Players’ warships gathered together, with lights flashing ceaselessly on each one, continuously changing colors, looking like a group of otakus cheering for their beloved goddess.

Tens of thousands of warships blocked out the sky, an extraordinary sight as they halted their progress to gather here for the sole purpose of watching a virtual host show in the game.

Although she knew this was the game and that she was just a staff member with no real connection to actual idols, unlucky incarnate still felt a wave of awe.

Numerous Cultivator players maintained order here, casting spells of various colors, making the place incredibly lively.

The boundary between reality and illusion blurred here, vague like the streetlights under the night sky, warm and ambiguous.

Looking at the exaggerated scene before her, unlucky incarnate was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t this an exaggeration? It’s too much! Do players have that much spare time these days? Don’t they have jobs? They even want to watch an ordinary virtual host show!”

Backstage, unlucky became dumbfounded as she watched the number of live viewers on the screen.

There had been no promotion for this broadcast, but players had managed to spread the word themselves, turning this niche concert into a grand event in the game.

Aside from the in-game players, a huge number of viewers who couldn’t enter the game were watching the live stream through Fang Cheng Studio’s official platform, transforming the modest virtual concert into an epoch-making spectacle.

“These people really don’t have jobs, do they? Is Fang Cheng Studio selling fake data? Are they going to start doing live commerce next? Of course, live streaming commerce is the ultimate destination for all virtual things!”

“unlucky, cut the chatter. You sound pretty nervous.”

unlucky turned her head and saw that the speaker was a fellow member of her idol group, Hakurei Silver Dream.

She was Wu Wei’s assistant; after Wu Wei had logged off to work overtime, she had also logged off for a while.

But once she learned there was an idol live stream happening here, she immediately returned and burned through her own accumulated virtues to secure a backup dancer spot.

The reason was simple: as an anime fan, she had to play the role of Cinderella idol at least once!

Hakurei Silver Dream’s costume was naturally exquisite. She looked like a life-sized doll, with her performance attire predominantly red and white, matching her ID well.

Although unlucky was a bit older than her, she felt that they got along quite well, becoming good friends in just a few days.

Hearing Hakurei Silver Dream teasing her, unlucky let out a wry smile and sat next to her, saying, “I can’t help it, can I? With so many people watching, how could I not be nervous? But luckily it’ll just be a one-click performance afterward, so that’s not too bad. Still, I don’t understand why I have to be in the center position?”

“Don’t you know?” Hakurei Silver Dream asked with a puzzled look.

“Zhiyi Heavenly Lord said my contribution was too low, so he didn’t tell me.”

Hakurei Silver Dream stared at unlucky for a long time before voicing her suspicion, “How much did you pay for your graduate student status?”

“Why do you assume I bought my graduate qualification?”

“Because if you were normal, you’d ask other players for information if the NPCs didn’t have any, right?”

unlucky was momentarily stunned.

After hesitating for a long time, she couldn’t utter a word; all she could think was, “Why didn’t I just ask other players?”

Eventually, she looked at Hakurei Silver Dream and asked, “Do you know why?”

“Of course. It’s actually a hidden feature of the game where each player has their own hidden talent, which Zhiyi Heavenly Lord refers to as ‘Destiny.’ I suspect you need to use virtues to discover your Destiny, and if he explained it to you in detail, it would be like revealing your Destiny to you. This game feature requires a lot of virtues, so he couldn’t explain it to you.”

unlucky nodded, her confusion finally clearing up a bit.

“So, what is my Destiny?”

“The likelihood of bad things happening around you will increase a bit. Haven’t you noticed that your luck is especially bad when playing the game?”

“That’s an understatement.”

“That’s right, that’s your hidden talent. However, it seems there’s more to your talent, related to probability. And since the Golden Mother happens to be the Evil God who governs probability, that’s why you were chosen for the center position.”

At this point, unlucky finally understood the purpose of Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, but she still had her own doubts.

“But why make use of this specific attribute of mine?”

“Do you still remember the wish you made initially?”

“Of course, I wished to know the motives of the Golden Mother.”

“Yes, so Zhiyi Heavenly Lord is also fulfilling your wish at the least cost possible, and this is the outcome. After all, your contribution was really meager.”

After knowing all this, unlucky had only one thought in her mind.

Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, you madman!
