God-level Hero

Beijing Time 5 PM.

Roused by the alarm, Little Li, who had slept the whole day, energetically got out of bed: "Little Fang, are you hungry?"

Little Fang was evidently not in a good state: "Not much of an appetite. Oh, so here’s a thing, darling, Bloodrose has arranged for the guild’s beauties to take turns on Hero News’ live broadcast. We’re scheduled for tomorrow at noon, which is the first broadcast of the first batch to go live, so let’s be prepared."

Little Li was shocked: "Seriously? We’re going live? And we’re in the first batch?"

Little Fang sighed: "Yeah, who told us to be the most renowned female players in Divine Punishment City nationwide? Plus, the Bloodrose Leader signed an electronic contract with Hero News’ broadcasting team, so we can’t skip it."

Little Li exclaimed: "Isn’t this too troublesome? We need to prepare two cameras, right?"

Little Fang shook his head and sighed: "We’re going to Bloodrose Studio by Green Lake."

Little Li laughed and cried: "Such a hassle!"

Little Fang scoffed: "Darling finds it a hassle huh? The guild’s ladies are bursting with excitement! The local fan club has already seized granny dance territory outside the studio on Green Lake Avenue to rehearse cosplay."

Little Li sighed: "What are we supposed to say in the live broadcast?"

Little Fang sighed: "Who knows? There’ll probably be a prepared script. Anyway, let’s wait for the show crew to notify us; they’re also working overtime on the plan."

Little Li sighed: "Alright, let’s cook then."

Little Fang laughed: "No need to fuss, now that the National War in Divine Punishment City is over, we can relax. Let’s go eat out and buy some clothes, otherwise it’ll be embarrassing on camera tomorrow."

Little Li was startled: "The National War is over? Buying clothes? I feel like you’re actually pretty excited about going live."

Little Fang smiled: "I never said I didn’t want to go live."

Little Li was amazed: "Then what’s with your previous listless expression?"

Little Fang sighed: "Don’t mention it, it’s all because my account Fleeting Blossom is bombarded by various friends, especially Shenzhi, always asking about the mining machine. Darling, you didn’t clarify things, how would I know? What’s more, today’s desert ruins expedition failed again, leaving me completely exhausted."

Little Li said: "Last night I stayed up all night and was too muddled to explain either—let’s just walk outside then, I’m treating. What do you want to eat?"

Little Fang was amazed: "No way, you’re treating?"

Little Li laughed: "Yeah, you’ve always treated me, can’t I treat you?"

Little Fang laughed heartily: "Sure, I love freeloading, let’s go eat some spicy fish to get our appetite up, then buy clothes..."

...

Shenjiang Normal University, the dormitory where Da Bing and Da Wei reside.

"Dinner time! Dinner time!" The call from the meal delivery team was followed by the sight of twenty or so boxed meals and dishes filling the table to the brim. Da Bing and his dorm mates cheered as they took off their helmets and surrounded the table.

Da Bing laughed: "See, this is the benefit of shared dining, every dish from the canteen laid out for us! What makes this different from a full banquet at a restaurant?"

Dorm mate Little Liu laughed: "Brother Bing really knows how to arrange life!"

Da Bing laughed: "Remember, no drinking today!"

The dorm mates were amazed: "Seriously? We’ve driven Japan away; shouldn’t we celebrate a bit?"

Da Bing scoffed: "It’s not us who drove them off; what are we celebrating?"

Dorm mate Little Wang laughed: "It might not necessarily be Bloodrose who drove them off either!"

Little Liu perked up: "Did you all check the forum? Bloodrose and Hero News’ broadcasting team officially start their collaboration tomorrow, sending 2 to 3 beauties to each show. Hero News’ slogan is to completely outshine Tokyo Telecommunications!"

Da Bing shook his head: "Outshine Tokyo Telecommunications? Not likely! It’s probably another knockoff variety show."

Little Wang sighed: "Exactly, Tokyo Telecommunications is filled with famous anime voice actors, the domestic fans are too passionate!"

Da Bing laughed heartily: "Not necessarily, plenty of youth pursue uniqueness and want to stand out. Simply because anime voice actors are so popular and have so many fans, these youth intentionally distance themselves—for instance, I’m one such person. The more ridiculous the domestic knockoff dramas are, the more I like them! Haha!"

Little Liu continued: "Remember, tomorrow is the first broadcast for Bloodrose’s new rising stars Blood Arrow Fragrance and Blood Arrow Linglong. It’s set at Green Lake Park in our city. Fans from all over are heading out to rehearse. Should we go watch too? Maybe show off our Shenjiang Normal University team name and do some networking?"

The dorm mates excitedly exclaimed: "Absolutely! Brother Bing, even if our team name isn’t well-known, as long as we showcase Brother Fei’s Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce name, it’s guaranteed to be an ultimate dating tool to end the single life!"

Da Bing couldn’t help but be excited: "True, Brother Fei’s fame was a bit problematic before, making us shy to take action. But now that Brother Fei is a national hero, it brings us pride too. Let’s ask Brother Hao for leave and go together!"

The dorm mates roared in joy: "Oh yesss, dating time!"

Da Bing grumbled: "What nonsense! Even the youngest in Bloodrose is 23 years old, okay? We have to address them as seniors! And oh, let’s all buy a suit and look decent after dinner, wash up tonight, don’t show up stinking giving our guild a bad name!"

The dorm mates laughed heartily: "Certainly, certainly!"

Just then, Da Wei slowly took off his helmet and stood up: "What are you guys talking about? I’m not going."

The dorm mates were amazed: "Seriously? Brother Wei is tall and handsome, our image representative. How can you not go?"

Da Bing sighed: "Exactly, Da Wei, don’t dwell on the past, look forward!"

Da Wei simply shook his head, popped open a beer bottle, and chugged it down in one go, provoking cheers from everyone: "Still the legendary Brother Wei! Awesome as ever!"

Da Wei chuckled: "I’m now racing against time to look to the future! You guys go ahead."

Da Bing shook his head and sighed: "True, if Da Wei went, we’d all just be sidekicks to the main attraction. Oh well, enough said, everyone grab a bottle and drink! Anyway, Red Name Village has nothing to do with us now."

"Heck yeah!"

...

At this moment, Da Fei’s Sky Ship had just finished unloading people at Lamia Village, preparing for the journey across the locust swarm, when Da Fei’s phone rang. No doubt it’s Little Li checking in and asking about dinner again.

Da Fei picked up the phone and was slightly surprised; it was Little Fang?

A sweet, sugary voice came from the other end: "Brother~~~ it’s Little Fang~~ want to join us for dinner? Little Li is here too!"

Da Fei was taken aback, seriously? Little Fang calling me for the first time? What is this pace?

Then, Little Li’s voice faintly emerged on the line: "My brother is busy!"

Little Fang laughed: "Busy but still need to eat—Hello! Is brother listening? Little Li and I are going on television for a live broadcast tomorrow, how about celebrating?"

Live broadcast? They’re about to become goddesses! Da Fei didn’t hesitate: "Great, where are you all, I’ll be right over!"

Little Fang laughed: "At Xinhua Road Old Chuanjiang Sichuan Restaurant..."

"Alright, I’ll change clothes right away!"

That’s right! Why rush the game? My sisters and wife’s affairs are the real deal. The ship can stay at Lamia Village leisurely absorbing tree roots and cultivating grapes.

So Da Fei gave Tamilia the command to maintain a defensive alert there, then logged out, washed quickly, and excitedly headed out the door...(To be continued.
