My Dad Is the Galaxy's Prince Charming

15 Courting Death

Yao Si felt the veins on her forehead break with a loud snap.

Table flip! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Who wants to play games! Don't you have any professional ethics as a teacher? What happened to be a role model? Role model? Model?

How can you lead young people down a stray path?

"Come on babies, follow me, turn on your optical computer and connect to the galactic network." No matter how Yao Si was complaining deep down, the teacher up ahead had already begun demonstrating. "The school's galactic network password is 23333333."

"..."

Why was this password looking for a beating too!

"Hum, that baby over there." Seeing that Yao Si didn't move, the teacher looked over. "Why have you not turned on your optical computer, do you not know how to operate it? Do you need me to demonstrate again?"

With the entire class starting to turn and look at Yao Si, the corner of her mouth twitched; she had no choice but to place her hand on the optical computer. Sure enough, the next moment a semi-transparent projection appeared before her eyes, rows, and rows of unreadable shapes took form in front of her.

She followed what the teacher had said and clicked on the sign on the right bottom corner to connect to the galactic net and a text box asking for a password appeared before her. She was wondering how on earth she could input this annoying password in without a keyboard when the words "password:23333333" automatically appeared on the optical screen.

Yao Si was shocked, so this optical computer could be controlled by the mind.

"My babies, did you see the icon of "The Legend of Commanding Celestials"?" the teacher asked again.

After receiving feedback, she immediately began to enthusiastically introduce it. "This is the trendiest game on the galactic network, developed by the Palace of Ninth Heaven by the Celestial race. It has a holographic sensual experience effect and can perfectly restore the scenes of ancient games. Every server has been extremely popular, how about we play this today?"

A teacher zealously recommending the most conspicuous game in the game collection while introducing all it's features with great details. Yao Si was a little suspicious regarding whether or not she was receiving endorsement fees from the game company.

Anyhow, this antique-style game did suit her, since she was the one who had most years behind her back. It was not too bad to obtain some understanding of the functions of the galactic network in there.

It only took a thought from her for the game to launch. She could see the entire holographic projection transform into lifelike paradise: palaces surrounded by enchanted mist, mountains that floated in mid-air, streams of water that rushed forth with great speed, and clouds that symbolized prosperity filling the sky as red-crowned cranes flew past. It gave her an illusion that she had arrived at the set of a xianxia* -themed movie.

(*Xianxia (仙侠 xiānxiá) – literally means "Immortal Heroes". Fictional stories featuring magic, demons, ghosts, immortals, and a great deal of Chinese folklore/mythology. Protagonists (usually) attempt to cultivate to Immortality, seeking eternal life and the pinnacle of strength. Heavily inspired by Daoism.)

In the middle of the scene shimmered a line of words.

"Welcome to The World of Commanding Celestials, 38th user of series 438438**, do you want to start the game?"

(**The number 38 originates from Women's Day, 8th of March. It is commonly used to insult talkative women, having a similar meaning to 'bitch'. Number 4 is a homophone with the word 'death', but together with 38 it stands for 'fucking bitch'.)
