Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Game Over

Night Spirit dodged behind Lolan Hill, and Lily tried several times to catch her, but due to Lolan Hill’s intentional or unintentional obstruction, she failed each time. Finally, she gave up and sat down, continuing the game.

As time passed, the game gradually entered its later stages. After Letis earned enough money, she immediately established her own alchemy workshop and quickly opened branches, using financial dominance to seize piece after piece of land, gradually becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Though Nia had unified the Great Grassland in the North, her southern campaign was fraught with difficulties. Due to the cultural incompatibility between beastmen and humans, occupying territories required additional troops, resulting in lower yields and a slower expansion rate.

Lily, despite being with the prince, saw her reputation plummet due to the stepmother and son scenario, leading to frequent rebellions in her territories. Suppressing these uprisings became the norm, until she grew tired of it all and simply declared her withdrawal, content to watch the drama unfold from the sidelines.

“Thus, Queen Lily and the prince lived happily ever after overseas, never to be seen again.”

Bumansa announced this, reclaiming Lily’s game piece.

Vimya’s character continued to travel around, seemingly devoid of ambitions for world domination, until she entered an event tile during one of her performances.

“During a concert, heavy rain caused Vimya’s magic to fail, revealing her tail, and her identity as a mermaid was discovered.” Bumansa then announced that a judgment was needed here. (Due to bonuses from fame and appearance, rolling a d100 greater than 45 would count as a pass.)

The dice result was [75], passing the judgment. The audience not only did not fear or reject Vimya, but actually liked her even more. Vimya gained 300 points of fame and the title of ‘Mermaid Songstress.’

Lolan Hill’s character, similar to Vimya, did not focus on dominating the world, instead choosing to travel and adventure. With high skill levels and immense fame, she earned the title of ‘Great Sage,’ surpassing Nia in personal combat ability.

Despite many twists and turns, Alena finally achieved her dream, becoming a formidable demonic beast breeder. Leading nearly 1000 boar knights, she began a counterattack from south to north.

“Haha, your shop is my shop, and your money is mine.”

Alena happily seized several of Letis’s tiles and shops, infuriating the latter.

Letis and Nia then joined forces; Letis focused on crafting equipment while Nia led the beastmen into battle. This solved both cultural and combat issues, allowing their joint kingdom to flourish.

Thus, Nia the goat-horned general and Letis married, giving birth to a child, and founded the Silver Tiger Kingdom. Riding cloud airships, the white tigers began to decimate Alena’s demonic beast knights. In the end, Alena created a chimera, but by then the tide had turned against her, forcing her to withdraw in defeat.

“Afterwards, Alena left far overseas, never to be seen again.” After announcing the conclusion, Bumansa reclaimed Alena’s game piece.

“Why can Letis and Nia still get married? I don’t accept this!” Alena pouted unhappily.

“Because Nia originally chose a male character at the start, hehe.” Bumansa smiled, recalling how Nia’s initial choice had led to this outcome.

“Lolan, they’re bullying me, you must avenge me,” Alena said, leaning on Lolan Hill, resting her head on her knee, twisting and turning, protesting with dissatisfaction.

“Alright, alright.” Lolan Hill restrained Alena’s fidgeting body and continued advancing by rolling the dice.

“Vimya, shall we team up?” Lolan Hill looked at the blue-haired girl wearing a veil across from her.

“Mm, I’ll guide you. You’ll be the king.”

Vimya preemptively spoke what Lolan Hill wanted to say, seeing her slightly surprised expression, a smile appeared beneath her veil.

Lolan Hill then initiated a rebellion in the eastern region of the map. With the huge fame of the sage and the songstress, Bumansa rolled the dice dozens of times for the judgment. Eventually, one-third of the Eastern Continent responded, proclaiming Lolan Hill as the first queen, founding the Orchid Dynasty.

Letis and Nia planned to extinguish Lolan Hill’s nation in its infancy, but due to the ocean tiles obstructing their advance and the slow pace of their army, coupled with Vimya’s constant interference as the ‘Mermaid Songstress’ at sea, by the time the Silver Tiger Empire’s forces landed, Lolan Hill had already largely unified the continent.

Thus, the late stages of the game became a contest between the Orchid Dynasty and the Silver Tiger Empire. With the accumulation of elements, too many dice rolls and explanations were needed per round, turning the game into a tedious data pile-up.

But just when the observers were about to fall asleep, a turn of events occurred in the game. The heroes cultivated by Lolan Hill matured and directly descended upon the opposing capital, taking them by surprise. The enemy’s main force could not immediately return to defend, and within a short time, the royal palace was breached. The Silver Tiger Empire declared defeat, followed by the Orchid Dynasty unifying the world map.

“Thus, the world was finally unified. Under the leadership of the Orchid Dynasty, the world entered a golden age of peace. Queen Lolan’s achievements and the legend of the Mermaid Songstress, Vimya, were recorded in history and recounted by countless people.”

“It’s finally over, yawn~”

Alena, growing sleepy from the numerous data, hugged a flower cat and leaned on a pillow, half-asleep as she witnessed the conclusion.

“Ah, I suppose it’s over.”

Lolan Hill wanted to stand up and stretch, only then noticing Night Spirit, who had been sleeping on her left arm. Her face was pressed against the pajama sleeve, eyes closed, breathing softly, looking very peaceful and cute.

After Lily exited, she went back to her bedroom because she felt sleepy from eating. The remaining few slowly stood up, preparing to clean up the aftermath.

Seeing Night Spirit sleep so soundly, Lolan Hill didn’t wake her up, asking Bumansa for permission before carrying Night Spirit to her bed, letting her continue sleeping.

A night of gaming allowed the girls from two dormitories to quickly become familiar with each other. Before returning to their rooms, they agreed to meet tomorrow for the opening ceremony.

After packing up, the four girls from Lolan Hill’s dorm left. Lily and Night Spirit had gone to sleep, leaving Bumansa and Vimya alone in the hall, standing by the window chatting. The cool night breeze gently blew past, bringing a slight chill.

“Vimya, try not to invest too much emotion in games.”

Though Vimya didn’t show Alena’s exaggerated expressions and tone, Bumansa could tell she was quite invested, carefully making choices to avoid hurting others.

“Thank you, Bumansa. It’s my first time playing such a game, so I got carried away.”

Vimya nodded, her sea-blue hair shimmering even in the darkness.

She truly resembles the legendary mermaid princess, Bumansa thought, admiring Vimya’s appearance, but quickly dismissed the notion, as the mermaid race had long since vanished.

“Go to bed early, there’s an opening ceremony tomorrow.”

“Okay.”
