Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Recently, there was a significant buzz within the community of "Interstellar Warship," a game that had rapidly risen to national prominence in recent years.

1. The top-ranked streamer, K, had been defeated, and it only took his opponent 29 seconds to do so.

2. Such an accomplishment could only be achieved through cheating; otherwise, he would have been hailed as the number one player in the galaxy.

3. They agreed on a public showdown, a "Witnessed by Ten Thousand."

How could gamers with idle time resist such a grand spectacle, especially one like a "Witnessed by Ten Thousand" event?

Not only players from the Emperor Star region but also many others from different planetary zones were drawn to the spectacle.

Mainly, they wanted to witness the humiliation of "His Majesty the Housepet."

K started streaming early, and unlike usual, his channel had over 20,000 viewers today.

At the same time, the "Live Audience Platform" had over 50,000 active participants, not only Emperor Star gamers but also many spectators from neighboring planets.

K: "I just found out yesterday that our Domesticated Dog Emperor is actually a pregnant receptor."

[Holy shit, seriously? How can he be a receptor?]

[I've never seen a receptor engage in spaceship battles with such intensity. Well, I guess you really do see everything when you live long enough.]

[And he's pregnant?!]

K placed a hand on his forehead and sighed. "Thankfully, we're fighting against his partner today. Otherwise, rumors might spread that I'm bullying a pregnant spouse."

In the galaxy, receptors required special care, and pregnant receptors were considered top-tier protected species on Emperor Star.

If not for the presence of the other player's partner, K would have indeed been at risk of negative public opinion.

[Regardless, it's undeniable that the person was cheating.]

[Yeah, let's just avoid mocking Emperor Dog, his partner deserves the ridicule instead.]

Observing the current situation, he was filled with satisfaction.

This time, he was going to ride on this momentum and become Emperor Star's most popular streamer.

The channel with tens of thousands of concurrent viewers was bustling with activity. The peak number of online spectators even reached a hundred thousand, all eagerly awaiting His Majesty the Housepet's appearance.

While they were speculating if His Majesty the Housepet dared to go online or was planning to chicken out at the last minute, that particular username lit up.

Lu Wei immediately activated his microphone: "I'll activate the sensors right away. If I lose, I'll apologize and call you 'Dad'."

A voice laced with tension resounded in the channel's audio.

It was the voice of an energetic and pleasant-sounding young man.

Hmm.

If it weren't for the foul tone, that is.

The crowd waiting for a spectacle: "..."

And you bloody told them our delicate, pregnant porcelain receptacle sweetheart?

K: "..."

Knowing that he is the receptive partner, his words sound even more peculiar, don't they?

Under the witness of thousands, both parties must wear monitoring sensors to prevent cheating throughout the process, while their actions are simultaneously translated into three-dimensional holographic projections.

Completely ruled out any possibility of manipulation.

Lu Wei was so frustrated that he wished he could devour that certain M anchor, K, whole.

To lure the Dog Emperor into participating, he had verbally agreed to a treaty that humiliated their nation.

The night before.

The Dog Emperor lazily declined, "Nope."

Lu Wei gritted his teeth, "Go on." If not for his insufficient practice time, would it even be the Dog Emperor's turn to perform?

Lu Wei: "The other party also asked you to go. Just play as usual."

His Majesty the Dog gave him a glance. "No, it's not good for your unborn child."

Lu Wei: "..."

Feeling humiliated, Lu Wei said, "Whatever conditions you want, I'll agree to them."

His Majesty the Dog remained expressionless. "You can't play holographic games for the next three months, and let me in the room at night."

Heh, hehe, did you think I'd tolerate that?

—Yes.

Indeed, the final outcome was Lu Wei conceding and making concessions.

—

Damned K, I'll hold you responsible for this vendetta!!

K sensed that "His Majesty the Housebound Dog" was even more irascible than before, his tone bordering on murderous.

He felt a little intimidated.

So, what kind of peculiar taste did this Cheater Partner have to find such a fiery and spicy bottom attractive?

It didn't conform to the conventional image of bottoms or the general public's aesthetic preferences at all, right?

K: "...Let's begin."

In the 3D holographic display, all online viewers could clearly see the driver's hand movements.

[Wow, Lord K's hands are so beautiful, I'm drooling! prpr]

[Lord K must be super handsome in real life too~~]

[Wait, Cheater Partner's hands are even...]

K was somewhat handsome in reality and considered it natural to receive compliments. However, he quickly noticed the shift in the barrage's direction.

On the screen, only the opponent's arm was visible, with smooth lines that conveyed a sense of immense strength, as if they could effortlessly strangle a galactic beast.

K silently repeated to himself that the other party was just all show, nothing more.

[A ring on their finger!]

[F*ck, that ring seems to be an Eternal Azure Crystal from the Melodic Flow Planet. It must be worth billions of star coins, right?]

Following the exclamations in the chat, K glanced over and was momentarily blinded by the sapphire on the ring finger.

Damn, it seemed to be genuine.

Lu Wei looked at his own hand and asked, "Is this thing really that valuable?"

The Dog Emperor's gaze flickered, "…"

That crystal was a contract stone. After duping the coquettish spirit into wearing it, he had yet to mention its true purpose.

Lu Wei continued, "But aren't you usually just playing around with these stones?"

It even had him mimicking the act of tossing the stones from the warehouse for fun.

"Nothing valuable, toss it however you like," the lazy Emperor replied.

Lu Wei's mic was still on, and their conversation was clearly transmitted through the public channel, heard by thousands of witnesses.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Do both of you have more of these "stones"? Do you really just toss them around?? This is an incredibly precious Blue Quartz!

How much wealth does one need to possess to behave like this?

This little episode left the financially-struggling players in the audience utterly stunned.

[It must be fake, they're definitely putting on an act.]

[I initially detested this brainless streamer K, but now I have no choice but to support him.]

[Even if we calculate with the lowest market price of Lapis Lazuli, owning nine more of the same kind would make one a billionaire. With such bragging, why not claim to be a royal family member?]

K: ...That's true.

Amidst the collective anger, the public spectacle began under the watchful eyes of thousands.

Such formal competitive matches required prior preparation and confirmation from both parties.

Misleading comments frequently flooded the live stream, making Lu Wei seethe with frustration, "If you dare lose, I'll take your offspring to find other men."

The Dog Sovereign's eyes darkened, "Then I'll twist off his head and let the child kick it like a soccer ball."

The game commenced.

And then...

There wasn't even time to grab some popcorn.

Chapter 14

The conclusion was swift.

The unrivaled top player was utterly defeated.

"..."

The entire process was monitored by a three-dimensional simultaneous interpretation system.

There was no cheating involved.

It was even faster than the previous time.

Unable to hold back any longer, the Dog Emperor finished his task quickly and turned around with an emotionless face. "Don't use that threat on me again next time."

Lu Wei instinctively sensed that the current Canine Sovereign was not someone to be trifled with.

Yet, Fiery Pepper still couldn't resist a retort, for love of a good argument, "So what if I threaten you?"

Canine Sovereign replied, "I'll break the legs of whoever's on your team. Let's see how you run with them then."

Lu Wei's open microphone allowed their conversation to be heard clearly.

"..." Hey, hey, aren't you two a bit off track in your romantic pursuits?

But now, no one would dare to question their words.

Breaking an opponent's leg was a casual move for someone capable of such feats.

But wasn't this action a little inappropriate?

K was still reeling from the blow, having spent day and night for two or three years honing his skills to execute such a move. He had a foundation to begin with and knew what techniques were needed for the game.

The opponent's display suggested that he was anything but ordinary.

K dared not utter any more provocations now. He was about to retreat like a coward when Lu Wei's voice echoed.

"Don't forget to apologize and call me 'Dad'!"

Could he just let this B go so easily after he forced K to sign such a humiliating agreement with the Canine Majesty?

K's defenses crumbled. "Y-YOU! What kind of receptor are you? Aren't all receptors supposed to be sweet and submissive? You, you're always cursing and nitpicking—no wonder only a freak would find you appealing!"

In one fell swoop, K had insulted two people.

Lu Wei maintained his stance: if you want to scold the royal dog, go ahead, but not him.

Fiery Pepper was just looking for an outlet for his frustration, and this was a perfect target.

He elegantly and tactfully ridiculed his opponent, without holding back in the slightest.

K: "Woof."

What originally started as a heated event witnessed by thousands within the gaming community exploded beyond its boundaries once King's actions were made public, capturing the attention of those outside as well.

The operation of interstellar warships is a full-scale simulation, with significant value in training.

Someone left a comment under the legion's official account, suggesting that if this person could be recruited into the military, they would undoubtedly become a key force in expansion.

Due to the overwhelming number of private messages, the legion's official account had to respond indirectly and discreetly.

Legion Official Account: ...

Legion Official Account: This esteemed individual is already part of our legion.

Well, it was their irresistible and irascible king, after all.

All members of the legion had verified real-name IDs. Since they were already in the legion, it would be impossible not to track down who this person was.

The netizens then started digging through the legion to uncover this individual's identity.

Given the nature of the operation, there should have been very few people in the legion capable of such a feat!

Yet, despite their efforts, they couldn't find anyone matching the description.

[How could such a person truly exist? Where is the Starry Sky War God?]

[Experts have analyzed that even the most elite Division Commander couldn't achieve this.]

[So...]

As he dug deeper...

He discovered a massive glitch.

Unless that person was none other than their Emperor of the Emperor Star.

That sovereign.

And, to be honest...

The recipient's account ID was "His Majesty the House-Bound Dog"...

Huh?

Is it His Majesty they're referring to?

Has that sovereign not had his head chopped off for calling him a "dog"?

[Haha, impossible.]

If it were true, it would be a galaxy-shattering news event.

Since the news of His Majesty bringing Lu Wei back to the Royal City was confined to the noble circles, very few people were aware of his existence.

[So if it's His Majesty, then this must be His Majesty's companion...]

Though it's said like that, no one could picture His Majesty having a companion.

[And that's not even the highlight! The crucial point is, if it's indeed His Majesty, then it means he has an heir!]

You dare to imagine that??

Who on earth would dare to make such an assumption?!
