9 Chapter 9: The Overseer's Game

"So you're his fiance?" Meng Wei's smooth voice came out in a forced tone.

Lu Feng shivered and lit a candle for Ji Xiang mentally.

"En."

"Daddy, he even made us waste time by making us create a cure for his brain disease! It took a long time and Mommy was always tired!" Lai Jing chipped in, making the aura around the Creation God more deadly.

"Is that so?" Meng Wei's voice was terrifying at this point.

Ding Ye also chipped in by saying, "He tried to hold a gang bosses meeting but Brother Feng didn't go. I think that's why he held another one."

Lu Feng scolded Ding Ye in his mind.

'Why can't you be smart at another time? My husband might even destroy him!'

"Ah ah, Wei Wei, don't be mad. I'll kill him later on, you just focus on making my mango & peach juice!" Lu Feng knew that a Creation God destroying something was not right and he could be punished by the overseer of their original world. Lu Feng didn't know for sure if the powerful overseer was watching over them, but it didn't hurt to be careful.

Meng Wei retracted his murderous aura and calmed down.

"Mm, I'll make your juice. But let's get back to that party. Aren't you and Xiao Jing hungry? Let's go get something for you to eat."

Ding Ye felt left out. Kind of despairing, he left to go to the bathroom to try to fix his ruined look.

After Ding Ye left, the Meng Wei formed a pair of dashing suits. One white and the other black. The white suit fit perfectly on Lu Feng while the black suit made Meng Wei very attractive.

Lai Jing marveled at this magic and made a vow to himself to learn how to do this stuff.

(So I decided to change the system and host conversations... [ ] will be 427's and ' ' is for Lu Feng.)

[Warning! Warning! Host, too much power has seeped into this world. This planet will soon be unable to handle it. Please revert back your auras as soon as possible. After you revert, new rules will be converted to you.]

'Hm? 427?'

Lu Feng and Meng Wei took back their powers very quickly and now were like regular mortals, only a gazillion times better looking...

[Host, the System Managing God has been overruled by a powerful force who calls itself the overseer of your original world. While the Gods do not know what was happening, they had to submit to the overpowering force. This Overseer has made a proposal to you. It seems you have no choice but to receive it.]

'Tell me.'

[Here is the proposal.

The host has to go through 10 very different and difficult worlds to be freed from the system. Or else, the host will be destroyed.

The host can keep his memories but the God of Creation will lose his memories until he comes in contact with the host.

The host's powers will be taken away, as well as the God of Creation's. The Seer power can be used only once per world.

The host's main role is to become famous. The host doesn't need to become an idol, it would be preferred, but it is not necessary.

The host's child, Lai Jing can come with the host through different worlds intact with his memories.

The host's child will be converted into the God of Arts & Crafts since the old God of Arts & Crafts wants to retire.

The host's status board will be renewed and simplified(this is mostly due to my laziness...) by displaying points only. The host will have to earn points to buy supplies from the Overseer's market. The host will start with a 1,000 points.

If the host fails a mission in one of the worlds, he will have to do two random worlds without knowing the scenarios.

The host can go out of character but is cautioned to not switch to his personality immediately.

The host cannot tell anyone of his identity as the Seer.]

Lu Feng frowned.

To be separated from Meng Wei again? Lai Jing becomes a God? And if he doesn't do this, he'll die? What kind of bullshit is this?!

Seeing Lu Feng frown and sigh, Meng Wei and Lai Jing became curious about what was happening.

Soon, Meng Wei got the news from 428, making him extremely angry. He had just gotten his lover back, and now what's this? They have to be separated again?!

[Ding!]

In Lai Jing's head, a tinkling bell sounded.

[Hello, host! I am system 999, the very youngest and final system! Nice to meet you! I have been assigned to guide you through your journies along with the God of Destruction!]

'This is so cool!'

[Hehe, thank you. But host, I have to show you why I was called to guide you. I am the System of Collection. You will have to collect an assigned item from each world you go to. Besides that, there are no other missions.]

'Ok!'

Lai Jing was excited and had a wide grin on his face. But the grin instantly disappeared when he was given what his Mommy's mission was. He was glad to become a God so that he could stay with them but was unhappy that his Daddy would forget them in every world.

In the end, Lu Feng had no choice but to agree to the deal.

All three were given a notification about how this was a free trial world where they could live however they wanted for a month. They could do whatever they wanted in this world and the rules would not apply to them yet. Heck, they were even allowed to destroy this planet if they wanted!

Lu Feng kept that last part in mind and decided not to think about the things for a while.

The trio melancholily walked back to the hotel.

There was still a bit of time left until the boss' meeting would start, so the trio walked around brazenly under the protection of the invisibility bracelets that were made by Meng Wei.

Using the kitchen which was no longer occupied by the shooed away chefs and waiters, Lu Feng finally got to taste his first proper mango & peach juice in years. Lai Jing also enjoyed this wonderful paradise-like drink and slurped it with joy.

Soon, a slow song came on played by the orchestra arranged by one of the gangs. They actually played very well!

"Will you dance with me?"

"Of course!"

Meng Wei and Lu Feng went out to the dancing floor and Lai Jing was left alone in the corner and was talking to his system, getting familiar with it.

'So what does and Arts & Crafts God do?'

[I heard the old God was very powerful. He could craft very powerful weapons quickly! Even his paintings were awesome! They are said to make one feel very intense emotions! At least, that's what the Overseer told me...]

'Wow, cool!'

The guests all swayed to the gentle music.

One couple stood out.

It was a pair of tall men.

One was wearing a tight-fitting suit that accented his muscles.

The other wore a pure white suit that softened his features.

They looked perfect with each other.

They both had long hair and beautiful masks.

The guests tried to figure out who they were but couldn't recall anyone like them. In the end, they could only watch the two dashing silhouettes dance in perfect sync. The couples who danced around them felt inferior so the two men were only skirted around and none were close by.

They couldn't possibly guess that one of them was Lu Feng!

Lu Feng had been wearing different clothes and was not as tall as one of those men. And he didn't have long hair before.

The dance only stopped when it was announced that the meeting would start and the other guests were excused.

Ding Ye pushed his way through the guests who were going home and found his way to Lu Feng.

"Brother Feng, the meeting is starting. Since you brought more than 2 guests, Lai Jing or your lover has to go home. I'm only staying here to report the activities we conducted these last years."

Meng Wei whispered in Lu Feng's ear that he would stand by Lu Feng invisibly.

In a blink of an eye, Ding Ye discovered no trace of Lu Feng's lover.

"He disappeared so quickly!"

"En, don't make such a fuss about it, let's go."

Lu Feng grabbed Lai Jing's hand and Ding Ye led them to the meeting room.
