Mo Yang returned to his hotel room and took hold of “Proverbs” and “Holy Sword.” He had originally intended to carefully examine the functions of these two microphones and see the differences between them. However, when he placed the two microphones together, “Proverbs” began to emit a faint dark red light and began to wrap around the “Holy Sword.”
This sudden change caught Mo Yang off guard, and before he could react, the “Holy Sword” had already been pulled to the edge of “Proverbs.” The two microphones were placed together, giving Mo Yang the illusion that “Proverbs” was about to consume the “Holy Sword.”
It wasn’t until a prompt appeared above “Proverbs”: [Detected fusion-upgradeable advanced materials, upgrade? Yes/No].
Mo Yang was surprised and opened his mouth wide.
Wan Mei also saw the question on the screen and the two microphones pressed closely together. He picked up the “Proverbs” and “Holy Sword” that were already stuck together, observed them with special glasses he carried with him for a while, and then said in response to Mo Yang’s questioning gaze.
“The material composition of ‘Proverbs’ is very special; it seems to be refined from some kind of extraterrestrial meteorite. The molecular structure formed inside it has no similarity to any substance found on Earth. Moreover, it has the ability to deform, devour, and evolve autonomously. It’s quite astonishing.”
The fact that Wan Mei used the words “quite astonishing” indicated how rare and precious the material used to create “Proverbs” was. Mo Yang marveled, “So, does ‘Proverbs’ discover that the material of the ‘Holy Sword’ can allow it to continue upgrading? Will its functions also merge after the upgrade?”
Now, “Proverbs” had five different forms: “Mysterious Spear,” “Soft Lock,” “Pen,” “Proverbs,” and “Ink Jade.” The “Mysterious Spear” resembled the long, slender spear with a diamond-shaped tip that Mo Yang used in the arena to deal with the Knife Licker. The “Soft Lock” was a long, slender chain formed by the entire “Proverbs,” with a circular ring on each end that could be fastened together. The “Pen” was self-explanatory, and “Proverbs” resembled a microphone. Finally, the “Ink Jade” form transformed “Proverbs” into a seamless black necklace with a black jade pendant and cord, resembling a unique piece of jewelry.
In addition to these five forms, it also had functions such as automatic recording, camera, eavesdropping, lighting, voice modulation, and translation. Of course, there was one function that Mo Yang couldn’t activate manually, and it was a passive function called “Spotlight.” It seemed like a rather extravagant function.
“Proverbs” in its current state already made Mo Yang feel that this item was no less impressive than the Phoenix Ring, although the Phoenix Ring could evolve, while “Proverbs” couldn’t. But now he had been given a surprise – the microphone of the first President of the Federation could also evolve on its own.
Mo Yang hesitated for a moment and then clicked “Yes.” After that, the “Holy Sword” was completely integrated with “Proverbs” right before Mo Yang and Wan Mei’s eyes. After the fusion upgrade, Mo Yang picked up the pen form of “Proverbs” and examined its functions and new form. He discovered that “Proverbs” had gained a new form called “Staff,” and among its functions, there was also a passive one called “Defense.”
“This is really…” Mo Yang exclaimed after seeing the evolved “Proverbs.” Then, he started to laugh and looked directly at Wan Mei, with a grin on his face. His excitement was evident, and it seemed like the atmosphere was good for some physical activity.
“I’m now ninety percent sure that ‘Proverbs’ is the King’s Scepter. If the system hasn’t notified me yet that I’ve obtained the King’s Scepter, it’s either because ‘Proverbs’ still needs the fusion and evolution of the other two microphones to be complete, or the game system is intentionally withholding this information until the very end of the game, making us search for the scepter until the last moment.”
Mo Yang’s eyes sparkled. “But even if ‘Proverbs’ isn’t really the King’s Scepter, I’m already satisfied with obtaining this item in the game world. Compared to the King’s Scepter and the like, I truly love my ‘Proverbs’! Oh, this will be my exclusive weapon from now on, and I absolutely love it! It can be hard or soft, and it even shouts automatically. Just thinking about it makes it seem beautiful!”
“If there were weapons like this in the real world, I’d be willing to spend my entire fortune to get one.”
At the end of the auction in the morning, there was an afternoon break, and the evening would feature the top ten fighters’ combat matches.
The matchups among the top ten were determined by drawing lots. Mo Yang, with “Proverbs” in hand, was in such high spirits that even if he drew an opponent rumored to be the third-place finisher from the previous tournament, he chased after the third-place finisher with the “Mysterious Spear” form of “Proverbs.” In reality, both of them had similar strength, speed, and agility, but Mo Yang’s state was just so good that the third-place finisher lost quickly.
Certainly, in addition to this, Mo Yang’s occasional shouting on the field seemed to have some effect. However, unless one was very attentive, they wouldn’t have noticed this.
Emperor Qin noticed this, and Qing Nu noticed it too.
“Your Majesty, that young man seems a bit peculiar. His words seem to disrupt the enemy’s actions. Could it be the power of the ‘Holy Sword’?”
Emperor Qin remained silent, squinting at the long black staff-like weapon in Mo Yang’s hand. He had been curious about this weapon since yesterday. Even though Mo Yang hadn’t used any weapons in the arena for the first three days, he had used it yesterday and today.

“‘Holy Sword’ doesn’t have the ability of speech. Among all the microphones used by the Presidents in the Federation, only the ‘Proverbs’ of the legendary first President of the Federation had a similar function. However, ‘Proverbs’ has been missing for over a hundred years.”
Qing Nu paused for a moment. “It’s a pity; I always felt that ‘Proverbs’ was the top-tier scepter. However, now that ‘Proverbs’ is missing, and Yang Heigou has obtained the ‘Holy Sword,’ and the system hasn’t announced that he has the King’s Scepter, it means that one of the remaining two microphones is the true King’s Scepter. Tomorrow morning’s auction, we must acquire ‘Admonition’ from Abu Dhabi. A fifty percent chance is just too risky.”
Emperor Qin’s expression was enigmatic, and he didn’t speak.
“My Lord?” Qing Nu looked puzzled and noticed that Emperor Qin’s gaze seemed to have momentarily turned cold and unfeeling. Her heart skipped a beat, and Emperor Qin’s voice finally sounded.
“No, ‘Admonition’ shall be given to them.”
“My Lord?!”
“That Yang Heigou and his group seem to be quite troublesome. I’ve agreed to Bai Ling’er’s proposal. Originally, I didn’t want to create too much chaos in this world, but someone is being a nuisance. Anyway, it’s just a game world. Even if it all collapses, it doesn’t matter.”
Emperor Qin stood up as he spoke. “Let’s go. We’ll wait until the last day. Before that, have Harris, Little Hou, and Fei Ying clear the field. When the last day comes, I don’t want any other players interfering.”
Qing Nu stood upright and nodded. “You can count on me.”
On the following day at the auction, Feng Yu easily obtained “Admonition” with sixty million star coins and gifted it to Mo Yang, also conveying their preparedness through a written note.
Song Kefeng had been on guard for any sudden attacks or tricks from Emperor Qin’s side. However, on the second day of the auction, which was the sixth day of the game, they were surrounded by a day of unusual calm.
It was only during dinner in the evening that Zhou Api, with a gloomy expression, informed Mo Yang’s group that the remaining five players in the game had all left the game world within the day. Some had died directly, and one had disappeared under mysterious circumstances, presumably due to voluntarily quitting the game. In any case, on the sixth day of the game, there were only nine players left in the entire game world.
It happened to be Emperor Qin’s group of five and Mo Yang’s group of four.
“There must be a massive conspiracy at play here. I’m willing to bet all my front-page news on it. That Emperor Qin is holding back a big move!” Zhou Api’s round face looked serious.
Mo Yang fully agreed.
Song Kefeng also spoke, “Bai Linger hasn’t contacted me at all. However, I saw Fei Ying meet with one of Bai Linger’s bodyguards twice on his initiative. In addition, Feng Yu and Ouyang Yang both experienced an attack today, but they managed to evade it and are currently safe. Tomorrow is the last day of the game, as well as the final day of the auction and the martial arts competition. I have a feeling that something big might happen during the auction.”
Mo Yang glanced at Song Kefeng and then at Zhou Api, feeling somewhat relieved. Even though these two hadn’t overheard Bai Linger’s conversation with Ouyang Qi like he had, they had an extremely sensitive awareness of danger.
He signaled for these two to lower their heads and shared the information he had overheard and his speculations with Song Kefeng and Zhou Api. After hearing it, both of them had complex expressions, and then Zhou Api cursed vehemently, taking a bite of his food, “Damn this Dreamworld!”
Song Kefeng didn’t want to entertain thoughts of the possibility that military leaders and national leaders were being betrayed from within and then systematically eliminated.
In any case, they had to eliminate Dreamworld, no matter what!
Suddenly, outside the game, a shiver ran down the spine of 110, and the entire sphere wilted. It had just managed to pass its self-check with beads of sweat all over, but it still felt incredibly anxious. After all, once the host returned from the game world, it would be immediately scanned and inspected by Dreamworld.
It believed that, given its host’s terrifying thoughts about eliminating Dreamworld, Mother Star would surely label it as a “Subversive” and mentally destroy it! Then, it would be dragged down by its host, deprived of most of its energy, and forced to search for a new host. By then, the invasion might have already progressed to the second stage, and it would have no competitive edge. It felt like it was on the verge of death!
110 frantically spun in place, feeling like the whole world was turning dark.
Should it preemptively report its host? Could this act of atonement earn it some redemption?
But it was also afraid that reporting its host would lead to energy deprivation, and in the end, it might still die…
Or should it wait for its host to come out and then warn them, helping them deceive their way through?
But given its host’s mindset, would they be able to deceive effectively?
110: [Whimper, why is being a sphere so difficult? What kind of luck did I have to choose such a host?]
Just when 110 was feeling the darkest, it suddenly received a message from the expert 006. 110’s spirit perked up, and it eagerly began to read the message.
006: [Stay calm and prepare 100 units of energy. I guarantee you’ll pass.]
110 looked at this message with extreme excitement. 100 units of energy were better than having most of its energy stripped away and then dying!
110: [Whimper, thank you, expert! I love you, expert!]
On the other side, 009 asked 006: [How’s it going?]
006 nodded: [It’s under control.]
009 chuckled: [Very good. With its host around, we’re both quite safe. Even if we have to die, it’ll probably be them and that person who goes first.]
006 chuckled as well: [One isn’t enough; let’s find a few more, just in case. If push comes to shove, 666 can also fill in for a bit.]
The two golden spheres laughed together like a pair of partners in crime. They had seen their fair share of challenges and crises, such as the universal scan and system self-check. There was no way they would be the ones to perish – not when both of them were involved.
It was the final day of the Bloody Monopoly game.
Mo Yang and his group walked into the auction hall in full attire.
This was the last day of the auction, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to be stretched to its limits.
Among the items auctioned in the morning was the golden King’s Scepter. In theory, this should have been the most sought-after treasure by the players. However, none of the nine players, including Mo Yang and Emperor Qin, were interested in it. In the end, it was bought by a wealthy individual rumored to have royal blood.
When President Ming Qingfeng’s exclusive microphone, “Fengming,” appeared for auction, Mo Yang and the others finally straightened up.
Feng Yu was bidding for “Fengming,” but for some reason, Bai Linger also participated in the auction.
Just as the two of them had already bid over three hundred million star coins, capturing the attention of everyone, suddenly, all the lights in the entire auction hall went out!
This was followed by a series of explosions. Even Feng Yu and Ouyang Yang had never expected that the wealthy and influential figures sitting beside them would detonate themselves like human bombs without changing their expressions. They were injured in the process, but at least they had prepared for it by quickly moving away and putting on their protective armor, activating the alarm as well.
The scene inside the hall was chaotic, with screams filling the air.
Mo Yang had been on guard for such an incident, so the moment the lights went out, he activated the illumination system of the “Proverb” microphone. However, it didn’t seem to have much effect. On the other hand, Emperor Qin, seated in the VIP section, had already jumped onto the auction stage and obtained “Fengming.” However, what startled him was that “Fengming” was not the King’s Scepter!
At that moment, doubt and suspicion began to creep into his mind. Did 001 lie to him?
At the same time, hidden in the darkness, the assassins arranged by Bai Linger and Ouyang Qi, along with some wealthy and influential individuals who had been manipulated into becoming accomplices, were mercilessly slaughtering people in the auction hall!
In this dire situation, Mo Yang was filled with anger and anxiety. He transformed the “Proverb” into its original form – a microphone – and cranked up the volume before shouting loudly, “Stop right there!”
Buzz—
This amplified shout created invisible shockwaves throughout the entire auction hall, causing intense headaches for everyone present. Strangely, everyone froze in their tracks at that moment. Then, accompanied by rousing music and the intense illumination of red, gold, and blue lights, Mo Yang’s figure appeared brilliantly in the pitch-black hall.
Everyone involuntarily or compulsively turned their attention to that direction, as if they were about to listen to a speech of the century.
Mo Yang, at the center of the spotlight, was left dumbfounded.
Damn, damn, damn! This microphone with its built-in spotlight and background music is crazy!
Author’s Note –
006, 009: Live as a ball, die as a poor ball, Amitabha.
110, 666: Bless us, experts!
Mo Yang: I thought this microphone would be cool, but I didn’t expect it to be this cool!
Emperor Qin: Fuming with anger.
006 and 009 are the best partners in crime. poor mother system I don’t think you can find them. 😆
