Extra 3

Half a year after the war, everything finally returned to peace.

In his past life, Rong Shi had only focused on training and missed out on a lot of the fun he should have had at this age. This time, he decided to slow down and enjoy life properly.

After taking a shower at night, he casually threw on a pair of long pants and walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair.

On the bookshelf by the window, 01, having turned into a ball, was rolling around on top of the small energy stone cat’s head.

Rong Shi sat down in the chair in front of his desk. “01, open Star Battle.”

01: “Yes!”

The scene in his vision split into countless mosaic pieces. Amidst the changing light and shadows, the Star Battle community soon appeared.

The rabbit in cargo pants looked around with a deadpan face and walked towards the small park he usually frequented.

Within a minute, the public channel was filled with exclamation marks.

“The Rabbit God, who has been missing for months, has appeared!”

“I just ran out of pocket money, the Rabbit God’s timing is perfect, boohoohoo.”

“The Rabbit God is here, can the Cat Master be far behind?”

“Wallet is ready, waiting for the super double-down!”

“I think I see a new model of mecha waving at me.”

“Hurry up and queue, we won’t be able to get into the Mecha Ranking Match in a bit!”

Star Battle was in a festive mood, as if it were the New Year. Everyone felt like they had been chosen by the God of Wealth and were about to strike it rich on the spot.

In just a few minutes, the Mecha Ranking Match was overloaded. With hundreds of millions of players in the queue, the estimated entry time was up to half an hour at its longest.

Rong Shi walked to the small garden and saw the Persian cat sitting on a bench, staring blankly at the beach from a distance.

“You don’t have to wait for Dad anymore,” Rong Shi said, sitting down beside him.

As soon as he sat down, a soft cat paw reached out, restlessly pressing and playing with the palm of his hand.

“I was waiting for you.”

The Persian cat turned his head to look over, his translucent, beautiful cat eyes narrowing slightly. His eyelashes were thick and curly, and the corners of his mouth turned up, looking devastatingly cute.

We live right across from each other, do you really need to come into the game to wait for me?

Rong Shi complained internally but silently played along with his act. “My homework delayed me by half an hour.”

“What do you want to play tonight?” Song Yu put an arm around his shoulder. “My account is almost overflowing with money. I want to spend it on you.”

Rong Shi: “…”

After the illegal organization was banned, they planned to gradually make the 384 new energy system public.

Any newly developed energy stone would give rise to a whole new energy industry chain and new energy technology products.

Lin Quan’s calculations had been too thorough.

Under the Empire’s strict energy control, he independently developed the 384 new energy to alleviate the rebels’ insufficient energy supply, even developing a new energy intelligent system and armaments, gradually widening the technological gap with the Empire and leading for over a decade.

In the previous life, it was also because Lin Quan’s organization had extensively mined 384 that the relevant departments discovered the existence of this new energy source.

But now, the planets that produced 384 were all under Song Yu’s name.

Controlling the new energy was equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the Empire for the next hundred years.

The little rich woman was now richer than the national treasury, overflowing with wealth.

Rong Shi pulled him up. “Spending money is boring. Let’s see if your skills have gotten rusty.”

He opened the Mecha Ranking Match, only to see a queue of several hundred million. He then casually turned to the Wasteland Survival Battle.

In another dorm, Liu Hong, Bai Ting, and Hu Feng were preparing to livestream their three-man party queue.

Liu Hong: “Damn! Did the server shrink today? Why are so many people stuck outside?”

Bai Ting: “It’s going to take over an hour to get in. What’s the point of playing?”

Hu Feng: “How about we go to the Wasteland Survival Battle then?”

Liu Hong and Bai Ting considered it. Since they were idle anyway, farming a few wild boars would be pretty satisfying, so they went for it.

In the Wasteland Battle, teams could be formed randomly, and the number of team members could be decided by oneself.

Liu Hong chose a level three map, which had a moderate difficulty.

Levels one and two were not challenging at all. Levels four and five were beatable, but it was a lot of effort.

This wasn’t an exam; there was no need to tire oneself out so much. Truly no need.

One hundred random players entered the map, and the betting phase began—this was a unique game phase in Star Battle. Some had analyzed that Star Battle’s most profitable project was not anything else, but the commission taken from betting.

The betting was anonymous, and the rules were the same as in the mecha matches.

However, mecha matches only had two opponents, so the betting would be very intense. In the survival battle, there were a hundred players, and the betting time was only three minutes. Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of players would have no one betting on them.

The Mecha Ranking Match was overloaded, and the kicked-out players flooded into the Wasteland Survival Battle, unexpectedly discovering the familiar bunny and cat.

“Brothers, they’re here!”

“!!! Why didn’t I notice earlier! The betting channel is already closed!”

“Boohoohoo, why did the God of Wealth secretly come here to play?”

“Even so, it’s so rare to see the Rabbit God clearing a map. Even without money, just watching is satisfying!”

“Waiting for the Rabbit God to teach them a lesson.”

“Ahhhhhh, the Cat Master is actually fighting today! The Cat Master’s fighting posture is so damn cool!”

“01: I’ve placed my bet, hahaha, I’m going to buy energy stones!”

“00: Bet placed. Buying energy stones.”

The match had just begun, and the public comment section was already flying. Many people were shouting on the public screen, causing the number of spectators to skyrocket.

In the preparation area, Rong Shi chose two handy military knives.

“Not using a gun tonight?” Song Yu extended a cat-claw hook and casually spun a gun. “Want to practice with knives?”

Rong Shi shook his head. “It’s been a long time since I’ve played close-quarters combat. I want to see if my body’s reaction speed has slowed down.”

Hearing him say this, Song Yu tossed the gun back, casually picked a long military knife, and strapped it to his lower back, smiling. “Then I’ll choose a couple’s model.”

Rong Shi patted his fluffy, soft head.

The texture was incredible.

The countdown ended, and the two were randomly teleported by the system to a jungle on the map.

“There are over a hundred level-three wild boars nearby, and two level-four Boar Kings.” Rong Shi opened the radar, looked at the small red dots on it, and drew his military knife, holding it in his hand. “Want to compete to see who kills more?”

“Childish,” Song Yu sneered. “How old are you, still playing this?”

An image of someone wanting to compete with him to see who could pee farther flashed through Rong Shi’s mind.

I wonder who’s the childish one.

Suddenly, his vision blurred. The little white cat darted into the jungle, the military knife in his hand flying towards a wild boar.

Although the cat’s virtual image was round and cute, its movements were extremely agile and flexible, not at all clumsy.

“Oink—!”

A wild boar’s tragic scream echoed through the woods.

The military knife plunged into the boar’s abdomen. The boar, in pain, ran and twisted wildly.

But before it could run far, Song Yu had already caught up.

He jumped to dodge the boar’s long tusks, did a flexible flip in the air, and landed steadily on the boar’s back.

Grabbing the hilt of the military knife, Song Yu pulled it out forcefully, then stabbed it fiercely into the boar’s neck.

Another tragic scream.

The wild boar fell to the ground, convulsing, and soon went silent.

Song Yu pulled out the military knife, leaned back while stepping on the boar’s corpse, as another wild boar was pouncing towards him.

He pointed the military knife upwards, forcefully stabbing into the boar’s abdomen, while simultaneously spinning to the side to dodge a large spray of pig blood.

In less than thirty seconds, he had taken care of two level-three mutated wild boars.

Song Yu flicked the blood beads off his knife and looked at Rong Shi, his smile provocative. “I’m in the lead for now.”

A notification appeared on the system panel.

【User Little Cat Loves Fish has killed a level-three wild boar, gaining 30 points, currently ranked first.】

Rong Shi: “…”

Still so rule-averse.

He was reminded of the marriage question, and to this day, he still didn’t know why it was judged that he had answered incorrectly.

My partner is so cute when fighting, what’s wrong with admiring him from the side?

The comment section was already dominated by “Cat Master is mighty”—

“The Cat Master is so rich that I often overlook his strength.”

“Does such a rich and powerful alpha really exist in this world? It makes me so jealous.”

“Confusing, the Cat Master is so cute, of course he’s an omega, what are you thinking.”

“The Cat Master and the Rabbit God are such a good match, he must be an omega.”

“Some people are so funny, why isn’t the Rabbit God the omega? The Rabbit God is also very cute!”

“Who has ever seen an omega with such strong combat power?”

The comment section completely derailed, with everyone discussing the genders of the Rabbit God and the Cat Master.

Rong Shi drew his other military knife, stretched his joints, and walked unhurriedly towards the herd of wild boars.

Upon entering the attack range, the level-three wild boars began to get restless.

The three closest boars charged at Rong Shi simultaneously.

Rong Shi sidestepped to avoid the boars’ tusks and hooves, and with one slash, stabbed into the first boar’s eye, the knife going halfway in.

The boar let out a tragic scream and leaped up on the spot.

Rong Shi pulled out the knife forcefully, using the reverse force to swing his blade at the neck of the second boar.

The military knife in his other hand accurately pierced the wound.

The boar didn’t even have time to resist before it fell to the ground, its life signs completely gone.

As the third boar pounced over, Rong Shi ejected a steel wire from the hilt of his knife.

The steel wire firmly bound the boar’s body, its hooks digging deep into the skin. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

The steel wire could be tightened with a button, but Rong Shi had no intention of killing it immediately.

He sheathed his military knife and rushed back into the herd of boars.

Seeing him run, the boars followed.

Rong Shi accurately calculated its movement trajectory, ran through the entire herd, and leaped lightly, using a thick branch to jump onto a tree fork.

Under the tree, the boars scrambled to pounce upwards.

Rong Shi watched with cold eyes and pressed the button on the knife’s hilt.

“Oink—!”

A loud, tragic scream.

At least ten wild boars were trapped in the steel wire, unable to move.

Song Yu finished off the few boars at his side, turned his head to look not far away, and the smile on his lips froze.

That damned rabbit is using that trick again!

In the spectator comment section, a screen full of “666” was being spammed—

“Brilliant! So brilliant! Already noted down in my little notebook.”

“To have such strong skills, the Rabbit God can’t possibly be an ordinary person in the third dimension!”

“Oink oink oink oink, making wild boar noises, the Rabbit God is awesome!”

“I don’t know why, but this move feels somewhat familiar?”

“Familiar +1, keywords, Chairman, new training, launcher.”

“Holy crap! I was wondering where I’d seen it before, isn’t this the military academy Chairman’s move? The Rabbit God uses it so smoothly too!”

Rong Shi observed the positions where the wild boars were bound and compared them with the positions he had originally intended to bind them.

【01: Number three shifted two centimeters to the left, number four shifted three centimeters to the right, number ten’s leg is only partially bound.】

He had 01 help record and back up the situation for later review.

Pressing the button, the strong retracting force made the steel wire cut into the boars’ skin.

The pulling force reached its critical value. After a series of tragic screams, a large pool of blood exploded on the ground, and the boars’ severed limbs flew everywhere.

Song Yu jumped over from a branch on the other side and squatted beside him.

“So many pig trotters. I wonder if they taste good.”

Rong Shi, who had just come back from his calculations: “…”

After thinking for a moment, Rong Shi said, “Come to my dorm tomorrow night, I’ll stew pig trotters for you.”

Song Yu turned his head to look at him and smiled, “Bunny, you don’t seem to have told me where your dorm is?”

Rong Shi: “…”

On the map, besides teammates, all other mutated creatures and players were enemies.

The two of them swept across the battlefield, and the audience shouted that it was incredibly satisfying to watch.

As the safe zone continued to shrink, it was inevitable that players would have to fight each other.

A row of dilapidated small houses appeared on the map, with many weapons and equipment scattered around.

Rong Shi was driving a busted pickup truck with his cat wife, cruising around. He passed by this row of houses without even a glance.

Comment section—

“Ignoring so many weapons and just holding onto two broken military knives, so infuriating.”

“For a master, military knives are enough. Weapons are superfluous.”

“For the Rabbit God and the Cat Master, this kind of battlefield is just a walk after a meal.”

“I’m so happy watching them cruise around. I want to ride in the Rabbit God’s truck too, even in the truck bed is fine.”

“This is how masters play games, so leisurely.”

“Rabbit God, are you going to elope with the Cat Master in that busted pickup truck? Hahahahaha.”

Liu Hong, leading Bai Ting and Hu Feng, fought their way into the final circle and saw a busted pickup truck coming from a distance.

“Old Bai, grab your gear!”

Bai Ting shouldered a rocket launcher and stood in the middle of the road.

“Hey, you in the car, hand over your money and we won’t kill you.”

Rong Shi: “…”
