"How about the Divine Blessing?" Just as Lin Wan was in a daze, Lu Zhihang's voice suddenly came from the earphone.
Lin Wan snapped back to reality. "What?"
"For the wedding, how about the Divine Blessing in the Sky City? Or if we go for the Chinese style, the Everlasting Love?" Lu Zhihang said with a smile. One could tell from his tone that he was excited and overjoyed at the moment.
Lin Wan was startled and quickly replied, "No, the cheapest one will do."
Come on, did he think she didn't know how expensive the Divine Blessing and the Everlasting Love were? If they got the expensive one, she'd feel heart - broken when she wanted to dissolve the relationship in the future.
In the game "Record of Divine Power", there were two sets of marriage systems, one Western and one Chinese. Each set had three levels of relationship - binding options, and the top - tier ones were exactly what Lu Zhihang mentioned. Naturally, this kind of relationship - binding was also the most expensive. Usually, only really wealthy players would buy it.
However, just one second after she finished speaking, a series of messages suddenly popped up on the world chat channel.
[System Announcement: Congratulations to Lin Shen Jian Lu and Long Yan Ji Xu for obtaining the Divine Blessing. Their wedding will be held in the Holy Cathedral of the Sky City tomorrow evening. All players are welcome to attend and offer their congratulations!]
The message was repeated more than a dozen times, flooding the channel. Lin Wan winced at the thought of the cost.
"You really have too much money to spend, don't you!" Lin Wan scolded him irritably.
Lu Zhihang didn't seem to mind being scolded at all. He nodded with a chuckle. "Yeah, I've got so much money that I don't know where to spend it. I've been waiting to find a wife to help me squander it."
Hearing his words, Lin Wan felt that his subtext was so obvious. Her cheeks immediately flushed.
"Shut up!" She gritted her teeth and pretended to be fierce.
Lu Zhihang gave a little laugh. Just as he stood up from his chair, there was a sudden lag. Without even looking at him, Lin Wan asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, should we, you know, log off for a while?" Lu Zhihang seemed a bit hesitant.
Lin Wan was about to ask what he meant by logging off, but when she stood up, she found that her game screen was lagging horribly, frame by frame. Then, after the computer screen froze for three seconds, the game crashed.
Lin Wan: … So that's what he meant by logging off.
Not long after, Lu Zhihang sent her a message on the mobile instant - messaging app.
"Logged off due to lag?"
Just thinking about this made Lin Wan angry. She replied coldly, "What do you think?"
"… That's good. I was afraid you logged off because you were angry."
Lin Wan: "Aren't I angry now?"
"…"
Lu Zhihang didn't know what to say. After sending an ellipsis, there was no more message.
Lin Wan stared at the six dots for so long that she almost burned a hole through them. In the end, those six little dots seemed to suck away all her annoyance. She said helplessly, "See you tomorrow. We'll level you up first then."
"Okay." Lu Zhihang replied instantly.
Lin Wan stared at that word for a while, then leaned back on the bed with her phone on her face.
After a long time, she sighed. Keeping her position, she placed her laptop on the bedside table, then turned over and stared blankly at the white wall of the dormitory.
Before she met Lin Shen Jian Lu, Lin Wan thought she was indifferent to everything. After all, she was used to being alone. No one would care about the suggestions of people who had nothing to do with them, so Lin Wan didn't have any strong opinions about anything.
She felt like an extra person in this world. One more or one less of her didn't matter. Many times, she thought that it would be better to just die, since no one would care anyway.
But after she met Lin Shen Jian Lu, or maybe even before that (she wasn't quite sure), something suddenly changed. She was no longer so indifferent. She finally had a bit of a human touch, something she had never dared to dream of before.
Now, sometimes she even thought she might be crazy. Sometimes she would sit alone and daze anywhere. While in a daze, she would think about the game, the things she had encountered recently, and then about Lin Shen Jian Lu, from his voice to his gaming skills.
She often wondered how there could be such a person in the world.
So powerful, so happy, and so… dazzling.
Sometimes she couldn't help but imagine what Lin Shen Jian Lu looked like. A person with such a nice voice should be good - looking. Maybe because she hadn't met many men, the first good - looking man that came to her mind was Lu Zhihang, whom Ye Zi always talked about.
If Lin Shen Jian Lu and Lu Zhihang stood together, they would probably be equally handsome.
Lin Wan firmly believed so.
Thinking about this, a faint smile gradually appeared on her lips. The smile was very shallow but went deep, reaching her eyes.
Time flew by, and it was soon the next evening. Lu Zhihang logged in early.
As soon as Lin Wan logged in, she saw him. Then she received a teleportation invitation from Lu Zhihang, which was to teleport to the Sky City.
Lin Wan sighed and reached out to click "Agree".
This wedding was unprecedented in the history of the server. So when she appeared in the Holy Cathedral of the Sky City, Lin Wan felt a bit nervous.
There were a lot of people in the Holy Cathedral today. Lin Wan was worried that she might get disconnected due to lag during the wedding. But somehow, perhaps the game company had allocated extra resources for this wedding, Lin Wan didn't experience any lag throughout the whole process.
The wedding process in the game was very simple. It was basically just the two main characters standing together and clicking "I do", and then it was done.
However, the Divine Blessing was truly something special. Lin Wan was lucky enough to be the protagonist of this once - in - a - lifetime wedding. In the most prominent position, she witnessed a rare miracle in "Record of Divine Power".
It was really a miracle.
At the end of the wedding, countless beams of shining golden light suddenly shot down from the always - blue sky of the Sky City. The two thickest beams shone directly on Lin Wan and Lu Zhihang.
The clouds gradually parted to both sides. Little angels were flying back and forth among the clouds on both sides, as if cheering. Then, in the sky directly in front, a human figure gradually emerged from the golden light. As its wings suddenly spread out, large petals of phoenix - like flames fluttered in the air. A six - winged seraph appeared in the sky.
Lin Wan remembered him.
He was the last boss in the Sky City dungeon. Of course, this was before he turned evil. The seraph, wearing a pure white robe, gently flapped his white wings. Golden light powder turned into a laurel - branch crown and slowly landed on the heads of the two of them.
Lin Wan saw the system prompt.
[System Message: Congratulations! You have received the blessing of the archangel and obtained the artifact Laurel - Branch Crown.]
This was actually an artifact given by the official!
Lin Wan was shocked. She had tried many ways to obtain weapons, but this was the first time she had encountered such a method. It really seemed that as long as you had money, the official could do anything.
