Chapter 54 Part 1: Couple’s Level Reached Passionate Love, Should They Experience Same Room Mode? (1)

Forbidden Area Fragment, Burning Hand.

The final town boss, Burning Sky Heart, is a famous figure even in the entire Phoenix Sand State.

Although the virtual mode has adjusted its values, causing its battle power to decrease significantly, it is still a terrifying king that any ordinary ultimate-stage character would lose to at first sight.

However…

At this moment, the giant fire dragon, as grand as a mountain, is being pressed down by a massive hand made of countless white lightning chains.

Facing this outrageous and unbelievable level of control, its bones are crying out in pain, and the surrounding ground and lava start to sink, with cracks spreading to the nests of other elite monsters.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom boom boom!!!!"

At the same time in July, Moon Fire was surrounded by a thunderous energy.

The surrounding magma terrain cracked and sank little by little.

Without realizing it, an electric current began to form behind him, creating a mystical robe that looked like a sea of clouds.

July Fire looked down from above at the head of the fire dragon, bowing down, while remotely casting skills, remaining in control.

The situation reached a stalemate, and after both sides struggled for a full minute, finally—

"Boom!!!!!!!"

Came a loud noise.

The head of Burning Sky Heart was forcefully pushed deep into the core of the magma.

The terrifying impact shook the surrounding magma, causing it to tremble and flow back, creating a scene like a deep-sea whirlpool.

Even though July Fire is now just a small creature in the mature stage, it currently does not have any means to defeat its opponent.

Being able to control and suppress an existence of this level is already an unbelievable achievement…

Burning Sky Heart was directly controlled until it froze!

All skills dimmed away.

No matter how hard it struggled with all its might, it could only feel its body tearing apart and the paralyzing electricity flashing around its surface.

There’s no way to turn things around…

Time used: 2 hours and 4 minutes.

And then—

Princess Flash Thunder’s body slowly floated up, drifting above the swirling magma, and a red glow appeared in the palms of her hands.

Lightning flashed and red light shot straight like a spear!!

To make sure she could defeat the ultimate-stage boss in one strike, Princess Flash Thunder used her strongest secret skill once again.

[Three-leaved Green Umbrella · Twin Guns！！！！]

However, unlike before, this time Princess Flash Thunder was using a Red Jade Quality skill, which put a huge burden on her that was far greater than before.

As the red lightning twin guns gathered, her soft skin began to crack, and her long dress turned to ash inch by inch, like shattered porcelain.

In the almost frozen moment of time, holding back the energy inside her that felt like it would explode at any moment, Princess Flash Thunder slowly floated down to land on top of the Burning Sky Heart.

"……"

"……"

"Boom, boom——！！！！"

In the next second, Princess Flash Thunder’s thunder spears roared together, turning into huge clouds of steam that shot backward, throwing the twin guns out in an explosive cross motion.

The red mushroom cloud that burst at a distance instantly engulfed the entire lava canyon.

Su Huan’s vision before him became empty like a piece of paper.

One by one, the mature-stage monsters around him evaporated on the spot.

The elite monsters of the complete stage were also blown back a short distance by the wave of the explosion.

Half a minute later…

When Su Huan opened his eyes again.

The BOSS’s original lair had completely vanished.

In its place was a huge deep pit with a radius of one kilometer.

And Burning Sky Heart, with half of its head missing…

The environment of the Forbidden Area Fragment greatly limited the power of the skills. Princess Flash Thunder’s strike, which could originally pierce through 20 kilometers, only made a huge pit of 2 kilometers here.

Yet even so, in this negative distance strike, it still dealt a severe blow to Burning Sky Heart that was hard to recover from.

A few seconds later, with half of its head gone, it crawled up with a fierce expression, glaring at the weak Princess Flash Thunder and the nearby July Fire with the remaining half of its head.

Its large mouth hinted at boiling flames, as if it could unleash a fiery breath at any moment.

"Oh, can it still get up?"

"This defense panel is really…"

From a distance, Su Huan marvelled in surprise.

But the next second, before his astonished words finished, the fire dragon’s head fell to the ground with a thud.

After a while, the fierce light in the dragon’s eyes slowly faded away, and its life force completely vanished.

The mighty boss of the town couldn’t even use a single skill and was defeated in such a helpless way…

At that moment—

"Buzz"

With a sound!

At the same time that Burning Sky Heart fell, July Fire was covered in a shining light.

Resonance Value 200% → 201%

After breaking through the critical limit.

Its body began to change rapidly, as if signs of evolution had appeared.

However, in that moment!!

Without any warning, Su Huan surprisingly took back July Fire, which was in the middle of evolving.

He directly interrupted its evolution process right there…

Seeing this scene, Princess Flash Thunder, who was extremely weak and barely visible, turned to Su Huan in disbelief.

What on earth?

Is there really a master in this world who can stop a Battle Pet from evolving?

This situation is just too ridiculous…!!!

Faced with the confused Princess Flash Thunder, Su Huan softly explained:

"Don’t worry, we can hold on a bit longer."

"Besides, it is not yet time for evolution."

"I still cannot let Liuliu Yue see July Fire’s current panel…"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Huan confidently took Princess Flash Thunder back, not allowing her to express her opinion anymore.

As Battle Pets, all you need to think about is how to fight.

But as a Battle Pet Master, there is much more to consider…

Then, Su Huan calmly looked at the frozen time data beside him.

The time taken was only 2 hours and 5 minutes.

It directly surpassed the third strategy team of Mohuang Court!!!

Soon, a system notification popped up.

[The ranking list has been updated. Do you want to upload the data?]

[Yes.]

Su Huan did not hesitate at all and directly uploaded his record.

Whenever a record for the Forbidden Area Fragment is broken, participants receive a special reward officially announced by the association, given through a lottery wheel.

Of course, for each Forbidden Area Fragment, everyone can only claim the racing reward once in their lifetime; they cannot cheat by repeatedly refreshing their record to get more rewards.

Otherwise, if Su Huan were to wait like this again for two hours, and then shorten his record by one second each time, he could endlessly refresh his rewards until the association branch in Phoenix Sand State went bankrupt…

Soon, a colorful lottery wheel appeared before his eyes.

On the wheel, there is a 1% chance of getting a top hidden reward, a 30% chance for a large amount of money, a 30% chance for a rare infancy-stage battle pet selection ticket, another 30% for a custom evolution concept drawing, and 9% for virtual small items which are considered junk rewards.

Unlike Liuliu Yue’s bad luck, Su Huan felt very confident in his luck; even a 1% chance felt like over 90% to him!!

So, facing the spinning wheel in front of him, Su Huan started to spin it without a second thought.

He confidently watched as the wheel and the pointer spun wildly together.

After a few seconds, the pointer finally stopped.

Su Huan’s expression also froze in place.

[Congratulations, you have won a virtual item, 99,999 flowers, which can be used to increase the closeness between friends.]

[The system has detected that you have only one friend (Liuliu Yue), so these rewards will be automatically given to her.]

[Ding!]

[Your intimacy level with your partner has increased.]

[Intimacy → Infatuation]

[Tip: Same Room Mode is now on]

"……"

"……"

"Wow!!"

After coming out of his daze, Su Huan, now full of energy, punched the spinning wheel.

The wheel quickly turned into a faint shadow and disappeared.

Only a mass of colorful flower patterns remained and floated into his item box.

After that, Su Huan fell silent, feeling a bit anxious, unable to imagine what Liuliu Yue would think when she saw this message.

After a long, long hesitation, he finally opened the communication system.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, the private chat window between him and Liuliu Yue had changed to 99+.

Liuliu Yue, "?"

Liuliu Yue, "???"

Liuliu Yue, "??????"

Liuliu Yue, "Wait, did you spend money to buy this?"

Liuliu Yue, "You should have four months left until you turn eighteen, how did you do this?"

Liuliu Yue, "By the way, why didn’t you buy a Divorce Card and instead sent me so many flowers?"

Su Huan, "…"

Su Huan, "…"

Su Huan, "If I say it was sent automatically by the system, would you believe me?"

Liuliu Yue, "Oh, I see. Actually, I signed in before and got a bouquet of flowers. The system sent one to you too, but 99,999 flowers is way too many! What happened?"

Su Huan, "I refreshed the copy record, and it was from the lucky spin…"

Liuliu Yue, "……"

Liuliu Yue, "Never mind, as long as we don’t reach the next couple level before we become adults, there’s still time. Do you know that once we reach the true love level, we can never get divorced?"

Su Huan, "Huh? That’s the first time I’ve heard that. I’ll pay attention from now on."

Liuliu Yue, "Okay, then I will be a little careful too…"

The two of them very consciously did not bring up the topic of Same Room Mode.

Even though for couples in a long-distance relationship, this is the best feature of Virtual Battle.

But the two of them were not a couple at all; instead, they had a deep-seated hatred for each other. Even in death, they could never experience the realness of this situation!!!

Meanwhile…

Just as Su Huan was stuck in the game because of this couple’s level control.

Liuliu Yue, who was in a Virtual Battle, was also looking very confused.

After a moment, she quickly closed the chat window with Su Huan, trembling slightly, and carefully canceled the invitation to share a room.

This time, no matter what, she was absolutely not going to make a mistake…

However, after being silent for a long time, Liuliu Yue accidentally opened the Same Room Mode forum section.

She felt a bit skeptical that the Same Room Mode could truly recreate the real experience.

So, she started browsing through the forum.

Most of the people speaking here are high-level couples. There are also many couples who do not have enough levels, but they are very curious and ask many questions in the forum.

Anonymous User, "They say it is a 1:1 restoration, and it does feel real. Most places are the same, but it still feels a little off. The actual experience is about 70% of reality."

Anonymous User, "After all, it is a virtual body. Even if the temperature and feel can be adjusted at any time, it cannot perfectly replicate the body’s real-time response. But it is still quite enjoyable, five-star review!!!"

Anonymous User, "After using virtual intimacy, I always felt a strange sense of discomfort. After studying it hundreds of times, we as a couple finally figured out the source of this discomfort—it’s having intimacy both in reality and virtually at the same time!!"

When Liuliu Yue saw the third post, she could not help but stare in amazement.

Can reality and the virtual world happen at the same time?

What kind of operation is this…?

At this moment, Liuliu Yue’s face showed a slight blush. After hesitating for a moment, she could not resist pointing her finger at this post.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, a pop-up appeared out of nowhere.

The nervous blonde girl instantly raised her hands in fright, standing still with a stiff expression, as if she was being aimed at by an enemy’s gun.

After a few seconds, Liuliu Yue stared closely and her face went blank.

[It seems you are very interested in Same Room Mode. Would you like to try it?]

[Yes]

[No]

Thankfully, she reacted quickly…

Liuliu Yue felt incredibly relieved and carefully closed the window.

Then, with nothing to do, she wrote a complaint letter about the pop-up UI to the Battle Pet Association.

——

——

Just as the Phoenix Sand Stateranking list was updated.

Daiyue, Liang Xiao, Huang Yu, Wang Murou, Feng Qinqin, and the other players who took part in this challenge received the notice for the reward wheel almost at the same time.

They had just planned to start an 8-person team match of the Hundred Pets Battle Royale, but they were suddenly frozen in place by this pop-up, looking very confused.

"What is this?"

Liang Xiao scratched her head in confusion.
