Finally, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise—
"Boss, he has way too many question marks! I can't count them all."
What does it mean to have too many question marks?
Has this guy's sharp eyesight turned into presbyopia? What the hell is he spouting?
PS:
PSA: Hmm, I'm thinking of updating this book while working on the new one; apparently, that helps with inspiration...
Seriously, so many fun ideas are swirling in my head right now... If only I could create clones! All sorts of unconventional thoughts are popping up in my head!
Chapter 268 Little Cotton-padded Jacket Will Arrive on the Battlefield in 30 Seconds
After a while, Old Li cried out again, "It's too, too long! I can't take it anymore!"
Upon hearing this, the refined middle-aged man was immediately speechless. He blushed and glanced around, becoming even more embarrassed when he noticed some people staring at him with strange looks.
He couldn't very well explain at this point that it wasn't what you all imagined, could he?
If that's really the case, he believes the more he tries to explain, the worse it will get.
So he couldn't help but direct his anger at Old Li: "Old Li, do you not only have presbyopia, but also Alzheimer's?"
"Do you want me to clear your head?"
The boss's words brought Old Li back to his senses. Sensing the refined middle-aged man's anger, he trembled and said with a bitter face, "Boss, I'm not lying to you, it really is too long, that kid's talent is too long!"
"His talent is too great?" The refined middle-aged man frowned slightly. "So what exactly is his talent?"
These days, he's seen all sorts of bizarre talents: the kind that everyone hates, the kind that makes flowers wither and are destined to be single, the kind that says "I'm next door, my surname is Wang," and even more bizarre ones that claim to be able to kill everything in the world, but in reality, they're just empty talk...
Anyway, some movies are so exciting at the beginning, but the ending is disappointing. You don't know until you watch them, and you realize how big the world really is.
Therefore, upon hearing Old Li's words, the refined middle-aged man also had a bad feeling, thinking to himself, "Could it be another useless talent?"
But then I thought, if it can be effective even in a safe area, it can't be that bad, right?
Then he thought that Liu Feng was just caught off guard and unprepared when he was attacked. Once he was prepared, nothing happened to him afterwards.
"Could it be that the talent is called 'The Aura of a King, Dominating All Directions,' which looks impressive but is actually just for show and has no real use?"
If that's the case, then that's really outrageous.
After hearing his boss's words, Lao Li realized that he hadn't explained himself clearly and had caused his boss to misunderstand. So he began to explain, "Boss, I didn't mean that his talent is too long, but that the length of his talent column is too long."
"So what exactly are you trying to say? What is his talent?"
"He has no talent."
Upon hearing this, the refined middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said angrily, "Old Li, do you think I can joke around with your boss as I please?"
"If there's no talent, why is it said to be too long?"
Old Li replied with a wry smile, "Yes, that's why I was so shocked. I have to say, this is the strangest situation I've ever seen. It's even more perplexing than those strange talents I've encountered before."
As he spoke, Old Li paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before continuing, "In the 'Talent' section, it says 'None,' but after 'None,' there are at least dozens of question marks. I can't count them all right now."
"Logically speaking, after the God of God judges a talent as non-existent, the addition of a question mark, which represents the God of God's doubt, should be surprising enough. But that kid, he added so many question marks. If this were in a game, I would suspect that the kid was using cheats and his account was abnormal."
"But we are in the Main God Space, an incredible yet real world."
"Boss, can you imagine how complicated my feelings were just now? They could even be described as terrifying."
"Are you sure you're telling the truth? You didn't see it wrong?!" The refined middle-aged man's face immediately darkened. He clearly realized that something had happened that was beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that the young man was just a junior with potential, but now it seems that the young man is hiding some secret that even the gods cannot see through.
What is the Supreme God?
To them, they were like gods. No matter how high and mighty the leaders of the various regions were, they were nothing in front of the main god. No matter how powerful they were in front of others, they could not escape the main god's grasp.
From a literary perspective, a question mark represents doubt, and repeated use symbolizes emphasis. If repeating it once is general emphasis, then what about repeating it dozens of times?
What does this mean? Just thinking about it sends chills down the spine of the refined middle-aged man.
However, this also raises questions. If that person is truly so mysterious, why would he come to the Main God Space? Is there some kind of conspiracy?
Furthermore, it seems the Supreme God noticed his impropriety, so why did he allow him to enter? According to his analysis, the Supreme God shouldn't be the type to allow anything that could threaten him to exist; rather, he prefers to keep everything under control.
"This person is probably much more terrifying than that Li Wei among the new recruits."
The refined middle-aged man secretly thought to himself and decided not to get involved with the other party. Let the big shots fight it out.
Of course, despite saying that, he didn't think much of the young man either, because firstly, from the perspective of existence, the image of the main god is full of mystery. In general settings, the more mysterious the god is, the more powerful he is, while that person just looks like a young man.
Secondly, if he had already surpassed the main god, why would he need to engage in these conspiracies? It must be that his strength was insufficient, which is why he needed to make up for it with conspiracies and tricks.
The middle-aged man's analysis seems to make a lot of sense, but unfortunately, no matter how much he analyzes, he's still just a bronze-level player criticizing a king.
……
In the real world, a room filled with various anime girl posters and figurines—
A fat otaku, bound with rope and gagged with a towel, still stared ahead with a smirk despite being treated like this, his drool even wetting the towel.
There stood a girl wearing a white short dress, with waist-length hair, black stockings on her left leg and white stockings on her right. She was pacing back and forth, her wooden clogs with pink bows making a clattering sound on the floor.
She seemed somewhat anxious, but this did not detract from her stunning beauty in the slightest.
The otaku swore that this was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Beauty and cuteness are words usually used to describe two types of girls, but he found that using them to describe this girl did not seem contradictory at all. Moreover, he found that no amount of praise could express his amazement at the girl.
Her fair, exposed neck, her small hands not covered by her short sleeves, her delicate, elfin face—every inch of her skin exuded an alluring fragrance. Even through her stockings, he could almost see her glistening, tender little feet, each toe playfully wiggling.
I want to lick it, even the soles of her wooden clogs.
This was the thought that occupied his mind at the moment, and he was breathing heavily through his nose. Even though the girl had covered his mouth and nose with a towel, he could still smell her fragrance through the thick towel.
Of course, this was just his fantasy, but even just the fantasy gave him a feeling of ecstasy.
Not to mention the real world, there's no way such a beautiful woman could exist in the two-dimensional world!
He was screaming and exclaiming wildly in his heart.
The girl came suddenly, appearing behind him and binding him suddenly, but even so, he couldn't help but forgive all her actions. He felt that he had fallen hopelessly in love with her the moment he first saw her.
The girl is naturally Qi Xi.
Ever since Li Wei disappeared, she had been searching for a way to get to where he was, until her ability, a miracle of wishful thinking, guided her here.
Originally, she wanted to knock this fat guy unconscious, but for some reason, she suddenly just wanted to tie him up. Perhaps she needed to find some confidence from others.
Seeing the fervent gaze directed at her by that fat otaku, Qi Xi couldn't help but stroke her cheek with her right hand, muttering to herself, "Hey~ Master, my beauty has never diminished. When will you be able to look at me with a woman's eyes~"
Thinking of this, she sighed again.
The beautiful woman sighed, and the fat man, seeing this, felt a surge of intense heartache.
Just then, a notification sound came from the computer; an email had appeared.
Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly... live?
Upon seeing this email, Qi Xi finally smiled, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower.
"Master, I'm coming to find you now."
Before clicking the "yes" option, Qi Xi gently waved her left hand behind her, causing the fat otaku to faint instantly, and all his memories of that period of time were erased.
"My beauty belongs only to my master."
The next second, Qi Xi was enveloped in white light and disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 269 Summoning Heroic Spirits
As soon as Liu Feng left and returned to the Seven Nights Society's headquarters, he immediately met with Liu Hongshan, the president of the Seven Nights Society.
"Brother, there's a new kid outside who offended me. I want all the brothers in the guild to help me kill him in the next dungeon."
Liu Hongshan and Liu Feng are actually brothers in real life. However, unlike Liu Feng's rough appearance, Liu Hongshan looks more composed, with a pipe in his mouth, puffing out smoke.
"Just have the brothers tell them about this little thing. The important thing now is the next dungeon."
Liu Hongshan nodded and said, "The latest news is that the main god will be launching a Holy Grail dungeon in the western region. Moreover, this dungeon is different from the previous ones. In addition to those special mineral resources, we have urgent matters to attend to now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Brother, is there something different? According to the previous similar dungeon format, shouldn't there be different factions fighting against each other?"
Liu Hongshan took a deep drag on his pipe and casually exhaled a large cloud of smoke. "The division into factions shouldn't change, but this time the dungeon has also been modified by the main god."
"According to the latest information released by the Supreme God, this Holy Grail dungeon will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be a draft mode."
Liu Feng was stunned. "Draft mode?"
“That’s right, and it’s not just any ordinary recruitment…”
Liu Hongshan sighed and said, "No one expected that this Holy Grail instance would take this form."
"This time, before we officially enter the dungeon world, we will enter a special space to summon Heroic Spirits. However, unlike the normal Holy Grail Heroic Spirit summoning, the main god will transform the Heroic Spirits we can summon into corresponding templates and load them onto us."
"In other words, it's like the power of heroic spirits attaching themselves to us!"
"After we load the template, we will have the attribute bonuses and Noble Phantasm of that Heroic Spirit. In other words, the more powerful the Heroic Spirit we summon, the greater the boost we will receive in this dungeon."
Liu Feng was clearly surprised when he heard what his older brother said. "Then shouldn't we hurry up and collect the relics?"
Liu Hongshan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I wanted to tell you. The operation I originally assigned to you has been temporarily suspended. Now, the most urgent task is to find good relics, and most importantly, they must be compatible with us brothers."
This instance is different from the past. Based on their strength, they are not even qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War. Generally, a single Noble Phantasm release from a powerful Heroic Spirit inside would be too much for them to handle. At best, they would be third-rate Servants inside. The so-called mission and faction are really useless.
In the Holy Grail world, in addition to Noble Phantasms against people, armies, and worlds, there are also terrifying Noble Phantasms against nations that can destroy small countries in one blow, Noble Phantasms against stars that are powerful enough to destroy planets, and Noble Phantasms against the principles of human civilization that are specifically designed to deal with the principles of human civilization.
Of course, those who later possessed treasures of that level were already at the level of gods or demons, or close to them. It's hard to say whether the main god of the main god space could be enslaved in the dungeon and driven by him.
……
After wandering around outside, Li Wei quickly returned to his house. Coming back from outside was actually very convenient; he just needed to go to the teleportation point set up on the city street.
Before going out for a walk, Li Wei had a suspicion that his large house was a perk of being ranked first, since it was even better than the one he had at the Reincarnation Academy. However, after walking around, he discovered that it was a standard perk...
So what's the use of being number one?
Li Wei was speechless in response.
Most importantly, they have absolutely no sense of superiority as big shots. Look at how those other shops fool their big-shot customers with all sorts of VIP treatments—it's all about that unique sense of superiority.
According to the rules in the God's Space, there is usually a cooldown period of about 30 days after completing a dungeon, except in special circumstances.
Therefore, during this period, Li Wei could be said to have nothing to do. The only thing he could do was to be bored out of his mind, kicking a ball around whenever he had nothing to do.
One day, he suddenly remembered something he had long forgotten, so he pulled out the head of a certain anime girl, which was one of the beginner items he obtained in the beginner dungeon of the Samsara Academy.
"I didn't expect that things from the academy could be taken out here."
This was a rare discovery, but what surprised him even more was that he could finally have a new head to play with...
As time passed day by day, the day Li Wei was about to enter the dungeon again drew closer. During this time, some people sent him recruitment information through code search, but he deleted all of them.
Soloing is a man's romance, unless there's a beautiful girl involved.
As for those who wanted to find Li Wei in person and talk to him face to face, they were very disappointed because Li Wei had never left the house since then and was a complete shut-in.
Well-informed factions, however, were very pessimistic about Li Wei's actions and gave him a much lower evaluation. The reason was that many exchanges in the God Space required training in places like training grounds, while Li Wei's actions were seen as simply exchanging for external enhancements. Such exchanges, which did not directly benefit oneself, were unlikely to go far.
"An inflated ego"—that's how those people viewed Li Wei.
As a result, with the attitudes of some upper-level leaders in the West District, a trend began to emerge in the West District where countless people changed their names to Li Wei and despised Li Wei.
However, no matter what outsiders speculate, it doesn't affect Li Wei at all. And when they see that Li Wei hasn't changed at all, they sigh even more. They think that Li Wei is so stubborn in this environment that he doesn't know how to reflect on himself and won't turn back until he hits a wall. Little do they know that Li Wei has never paid attention to the outside world. He is focused on salvaging and immersing himself in the great GAL game and developing all kinds of girls.
Of course, if there really is a wall, Li Wei's head is probably even harder than that wall.
Finally, twenty-eight days passed. On the twenty-ninth day, after Li Wei woke up with his neck hanging in a sling, the system emitted a notification sound:
"Reincarnator Li Wei, code 510088, will enter the next instance world in 10 minutes."
"The countdown begins..."
