Extra #1

Bai Yang and Ji Yuan finally escaped the simulated world and returned to reality. Because of both of their bodies condition, they stayed in the hospital for two days. Before that, Bai Yang asked the technical team to enter the main system and pause the world destroying program.

Ji Yuan very much approved of that.

Since Bai Yang and Ji Yuan were both out of the world, there were no more real humans inside. So the technical team could operate without obstacles, but they were still too late.

On the third day, Ji Yuan was pus.h.i.+ng Bai Yang around the research center’s garden when they heard the news that the technical team had successfully entered the main system. They were ecstatic, but then the manager said, “Although they’ve entered the main system, it was still too late. The destruction program has already started.”

“How?” Bai Yang stood up from the wheelchair, “I remember it was only the fifth when I left, the countdown was for thirty-three days, so there should still be eighteen days, so how……”

“Little Bai.” Ji Yuan also wore a hospital gown, he put both hands on his shoulders gently. “You’ve forgotten, time in that world pa.s.ses differently than that in the real world. I was inside for many years, but only two months had pa.s.sed in the real world.”

Bai Yang suddenly realized he forgot about that.

Time in the simulated world pa.s.ses differently than that in the real world, perhaps thirty-three days in there would only be two hours here.

But……

He thought about many people’s faces, Zhou Ying, Xiao Ling, Zhong Shuo, Hua Feihua…… To him, all of these people were real, living people, they’re his friends. He didn’t want them to leave.

Hua Feihua had already pa.s.sed, but Zhou Ying, Xiao Ling, and Zhong Shuo were still alive. If they died just like this without a sound……

Bai Yang buried his face in his hands, he was really upset.

“Little Bai……” Ji Yuan patted his head gently.

Bai Yang suddenly moved his hands and said, “That’s not right!”

“What’s not right?” Ji Yuan asked.

Bai Yang said, “Back then Xiao Ling left with me, she should still be alive.”

“Xiao Ling?”

Bai Yang explained, “The a.s.sistant that accompanied me after I entered, she’s an A.I.”

Ji Yuan nodded, “Understood.”

Bai Yang said, “Back then she cleared the entire database, and downloaded the Demon King…… No, your data, trying to bring you back with us. She should’ve left with me.”

Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow in shock, “What do you mean?”

Bai Yang explained his and Xiao Ling’s plan.

Ji Yuan had seen Bai Yang’s memories as he was returning to reality. Thinking back to that, he said, “So it went like that……”

The technical team’s manager cut them off, “That’s impossible.”

Bai Yang asked nervously, “What’s impossible?”

The manager said, “President Ji was always a human, with an escape condition set up. In other words, he would automatically leave the world after completing his task. He didn’t need Xiao Ling to obtain his data…… No, she couldn’t have obtained it in the first place. Because President Ji is human, not data.”

Bai Yang stared blankly, “But she had already cleared the database……”

If Xiao Ling couldn’t have obtained Ji Yuan’s data, then her clearing the database was useless……

It was all my fault.

Bai Yang was a bit upset.

The manager spoke again, “If it were like Mr. Bai said, Xiao Ling should’ve obtained other data, or nothing at all.”

Obtained other data?

Bai Yang trembled.

“Xiao Ling was binded to Mr. Bai, so she should’ve returned. She may have returned to the main system.”

Bai Yang was excited, “That’s great! Hurry, let her come out, I promised her that I’ll tell her our stories!”

Ji Yuan patted his head, “Don’t rush, you have to rest first……”

“Rest? I’ve already been laying down for five years!” Bai Yang was unhappy.

Ji Yuan didn’t dare argue against him, so he could only say, “Okay, okay, okay, no more resting. I’ll go with you. If it doesn’t turn out as you expect, don’t get upset, okay?”

Bai Yang said, “Waiting around without knowing anything would make me more anxious…… Hurry up, bring me over there!”

He smacked his wheelchair haughtily, motioning for Ji Yuan to push him back to the research center.

Back then, after Bai Yang had been set up, Ji Yuan and the Bai family came together to accuse the company. In the end, they bought the character-building project and put a stop to it. They originally wanted to move Bai Yang to a hospital, but Bai Yang needed all the equipment, so Ji Yuan and Bai Cong renovated the surrounding area into a sanatorium.

Ji Yuan wanted the person in charge of the project to come back and overtake the technology, but even the person in charge couldn’t do it. It seems like he had stolen his teacher’s experiment results and created a perfect A.I., but now he couldn’t do it again.

His teacher had already pa.s.sed, and Ji Yuan had no choice but to contact every one of that teacher’s team from before, and establish a new technical team to overtake the main system.

Ji Yuan pushed Bai Yang into the lab.

The manager shared the information Bai Yang provided with the team, and gathered them to draw up a new plan.

The technical team thought that, since Xiao Ling, as an A.I. part of the main system, it was most likely that she had already returned to the main system, and they could find her. If she never cleared the database, they could’ve found her dialogue and data with Bai Yang’s description, but now with the database cleared, they could only search slowly.

“Then try to find her.” Ji Yuan spoke.

Bai Yang waited anxiously.

Two more days later, the technical team reported to Ji Yuan, “We did it! We found her!”

Ji Yuan rushed to the lab with Bai Yang.

The lab was very big, the whole room sparkling white, with a test-pod in the middle, and a large screen beside it.

“President Ji, Mr. Bai, look here.” The manager pointed to a spot on the screen.

On the screen, blue data lines flowed across the screen like rain.

“This is the A.I., Xiao Ling’s database.” One of the members said, “It’s out.”

Bai Yang rolled up further in his chair and called, “Xiao Ling?”

A familiar girl’s voice sounded from the surrounding speakers, “I’m here.”

Bai Yang was excited, and rushed to the screen, “Xiao Ling, you’re back?”

“Yes, I’m back.”

Bai Yang touched the blue data lines on the screen, “Xiao Ling, do you still remember me?”

Xiao Ling said, “I’m sorry sir, I seem to have cleared the database, I don’t remember anything.”

Hearing Bai Yang and Xiao Ling talking, the technical team were all shocked, “Oh my G.o.d, it’s so intelligent!”

“She’s like an actual, living person.”

“Wait, this voice!” The manager became excited, “That’s the professor’s daughter’s voice!”

Another member reacted too, “Yes, it is!”

“The professor’s daughter was also nicknamed Xiao Ling!”

A younger member asked curiously, “The professor’s daughter? I’ve never seen her in the few years I’ve worked with him, you guys have never mentioned her either.”

“She exists.” The manager said, “The professor’s daughter suffered from cancer and pa.s.sed at thirteen. The professor was heartbroken, and never mentioned her again, and we didn’t dare to either. Who would’ve thought, the professor really did create such an advanced A.I., and named it Xiao Ling……”

The group sighed.

“Xiao Ling, I’m Bai Yang, you were my a.s.sistant before.” Bai Yang said to the screen, “You cleared the database for me, so you won’t remember anything. But, I still do.”

“You said, to tell you our memories when we return to the real world. Now I’m here.”

The data lines on the screen flashed, and Xiao Ling’s voice sounded, “I really said that?”

Bai Yang nodded, “Yes, and now we have a lot of time, I can tell them all to you……”

“Okay Sir, I’m really bored, you can tell them to me~” Xiao Ling’s voice sounded happier.

Bai Yang cleared his throat, and started to speak, “That day, I entered this laboratory……”

Ji Yuan asked the technical manager quietly, “Have you guys a.n.a.lyzed Xiao Ling’s database? Is it completely cleared or has she obtained other data?”

The manager said, “Yes, it seems that she’d obtained a part of the simulated world’s data.”

Ji Yuan looked at Bai Yang, who was still talking excitedly, before continuing to ask, “Then can you recover the entire world with that data?”

The manager shook his head, “It’s impossible to recover the entire world, but we can recover a part of it. We can secure that piece of data, and then use the resources from before to recreate the other parts of the world. It wouldn’t take much time, we’re not the only members of the technical team, and we also need the help of artists and screenwriters.”

His meaning was clear, they needed to expand the team if they were to recover the world, as well as a considerable amount of funds. Even if it were to be recovered, with their lawsuit from before, the country had already banned the project. It couldn’t be used on any more real people, so even if they recovered the world, it wouldn’t be of much use, and it would also be a waste of money.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, looked at the thin figure sitting on the wheelchair, then said to the manager, “Continue.”

Because this is the memory that he and I could never forget, it was another life.

And we have friends inside there, if they were no more, Little Bai would be upset.

The manager laughed, “Don’t worry, we’ll try our hardest. There’s no way we will let our teacher’s blood, sweat, and tears disappear just like that.”

“I never would’ve thought that Professor Zhou’s research on artificial intelligence could be this advanced.” Ji Yuan said, “Perhaps we can invest more into this field because of this.”

Perhaps this could be another business opportunity, no, perhaps it could bring a technological revolution like computers were!

Extra #2

Zhou Ying stood there blankly, feeling like something was not quite right.

Miss Li nudged him, “Hey, what are you doing?”

Zhou Ying snapped out of it, “Miss?”

Miss Li said, “Come on, or else we’ll end up last and we won’t be able to go up to the Soaring Clouds Sect!”

Zhou Ying suddenly realized, that’s right, he was going with Miss Li to take her exams at the Soaring Clouds Sect. If Miss Li pa.s.sed, then he would also stay at the sect to do some odd jobs.

The Soaring Clouds Sect reached through the clouds. Looking at the seemingly endless flight of stairs, Zhou Ying’s eyes flickered.

I’m going up there!

One day, I will stand at the top!

He trudged along beside Miss Li, and eventually reached the top within the given time.

The disciples welcoming them looked them over dully, saying, “Congratulations for pa.s.sing the first stage.”

Two female disciples dressed in white walked past them, Zhou Ying saw the brightly smiling girl at the front, and was stunned.

“What are you looking at?” Miss Li said unhappily, “Hmph, there’s nothing special about her!”

“Shh——” A knowing disciple said, “Quiet, that’s the sect leader’s daughter, Zhao Qing’er, Zhao-s.h.i.+jie.”

Miss Li was silent.

“Ah, that’s Sect Leader Zhao’s dear daughter!”

“What kind of man could be suitable for a girl like that?”

Everyone was both jealous of her and wors.h.i.+ped her.

Zhou Ying retracted his gaze, he was only a mere worker, how could he be together with a girl like that?

He lowered his head and didn’t look at Zhao Qing’er again.

After that, he worked hard at his odd jobs, trained in secret, and was set up by his village folks…… He took it all.

Time pa.s.sed by in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the Hidden Flower Mirage. Zhou Ying also went to train at Miss Li’s request.

On the way, they suddenly ran into a ferocious beast. The four ran for their lives, escaping into a forest. However, two people dressed in black suddenly appeared, and jumped into action without a word. In the end, Miss Li died trying to save him.

Zhou Ying ended up at the edge of a cliff in his panic……

“Hahaha, look what I found? A fish that escaped the net?”

An extremely arrogant voice sounded from above him. Zhou Ying looked up and saw a black figure drop out of the sky, landing in front of him.

His raven black hair draped over his shoulders, slightly curled. He was extremely handsome, with a pair of bright eyes, and a smirk.

“Oh, you’re not gonna run?” The man said.

“Master Xie!” The two people dressed in black ran over, kneeling on one knee.

Master…… Xie?

Zhou Ying was confused, it seems…… it seems he’d heard that name somewhere?

Master Xie……

Xie……

……Xie Zetian?

The name that suddenly popped up in his head confused him.

Before he could react, he was kicked off the cliff by the man dressed in black.

As he fell, he seemed to have seen many scenes, both familiar and not.

Is this his life flas.h.i.+ng before his eyes?

Soon after, he sank into darkness.

When he awoke, he held a s.h.i.+ning white sword in his hand, and all of his memories had vanished.

He wiped his face, discovering that it was covered in tears.

Extra #3

Bai Yang had awoken. Apart from Ji Yuan’s happiness, the Bai family were all very happy as well. However, a little bit of unhappiness was present within the Bai family’s happiness.

Seeing as five years was enough for them to clearly see Ji Yuan’s intention towards Bai Yang.

Using Bai Father’s words, “So this guy always had ill-intentions towards our Little Bai!”

Bai Cong also said, “I thought he was my good bro, but it turns out he always wanted to become my brother-in-law!”

If Ji Yuan had shown some little sign five years ago, Old Man Bai would’ve beaten and thrown him out for sure. But now, five years later, he couldn’t do that. Seeing as Ji Yuan invested, way too much, with his deep love. They have also been moved, especially when he entered the system with the data pack, completely betting on his life.

Besides that, Ji Yuan has also helped them a lot, and they have worked together many times in business.

In both public and private, the Bai family couldn’t refuse his actions towards Bai Yang.

Bai Cong had mixed feelings, so he just acted like he didn’t know, pretending he was busy with work all the time. Old Man Bai couldn’t find anyone to take the initiative for him, and couldn’t swallow his pride to go find Ji Yuan, so he didn’t.

And so Bai Yang and Ji Yuan lived in their own little world at the research center for quite some time.

Bai Yang was in a coma for five years, rehabilitation was a pressing matter, and Ji Yuan accompanied him patiently, like the world was unimportant with beauty by his side.

Some time pa.s.sed, and Bai Yang could finally walk normally. He’d also gained some weight, at least he wasn’t scarily thin like before.

With his recovery, Ji Yuan started to get restless.

And so, one morning under the s.h.i.+ning sun, Ji Yuan spoke, “Little Bai.”

Bai Yang, “Hm?”

Ji Yuan, “Do you know how old I am this year?”

Bai Yang was confused, “Huh?”

Ji Yuan, “I’m already thirty-two!”

He sounded very upset.

Bai Yang counted, he really was!

And he himself was already thirty!

G.o.dd.a.m.n, he slept away his beautiful youth just like that!

Bai Yang felt angry.

Ji Yuan said, “Little Bai, I’m already on the older side. After I turned thirty, my parents kept urging me to get married, urging me to find a wife, but I refused.”

Bai Yang didn’t dare make a sound.

Ji Yuan looked at him and continued, “As for why I never found someone to this day, you should know. Now that you’re awake, you gotta help me with this problem of me being single.”

Bai Yang held it in for a long while, and muttered, “You can’t say it’s all because of me, you’re the one that didn’t want to find someone, if you really wanted it you’d have a crowd of women on you in seconds……”

Ji Yuan moved in front of him, and stared into his eyes, “But I don’t like women.”

Bai Yang’s face went red, and continued stubbornly, “Then…… Then even with everything you have, finding a man is still hard?”

Ji Yuan moved closer, “But I don’t want other men.”

Bai Yang’s face went redder, he looked away, “Ah, the weather is great today.”

And then he continued walking like nothing happened.

But he was pulled into a tight embrace.

“Little Bai……” His head was held against his chest, the top touching Ji Yuan’s chin. He heard that person’s mellow voice, “Let’s get married.”

Bai Yang’s face flushed even redder.

“You owe it to me……” The voice above his head sounded, “You promised me before, that you’d marry me and become my Queen, but you broke that promise……”

Bai Yang’s heart suddenly ached, and melted, “I’m sorry……”

“No, you did the right thing, you saved yourself, so you also saved me.” Ji Yuan rubbed his chin on Bai Yang’s head, “The wedding that we’re owed, let’s make up for it in reality, okay?”

Bai Yang’s eyes were slightly red, he nodded gently in his embrace, “Okay.”

Extra #4

Ji Yuan and Bai Yang got married under Old Man Bai’s bitter face.

The two families arranged a super luxurious wedding, and the unique thing was, their wedding wasn’t Chinese or Western themed, but fantasy themed.

Ji Yuan’s outfit was a red robe with a sprawling dragon, he wore a long-haired wig, making him extremely handsome.

Bai Yang wore similar clothes, wearing a slightly-curled wig.

It was what they looked like inside the simulated world.

A movie set palace was rented for the wedding hall, all set according to the Palace of Eternal Darkness.

Of course, the wedding hall was at a filming location, but they all ate somewhere else.

He didn’t want anything too grand at first, but Ji Yuan was really happy, and publicly announced that he was going to marry Bai Yang.

With his current status, the announcement immediately caught the eye of many, with numerous media companies wanting to report it, especially after finding out that his partner was a man. The media stirred, and the news of their marriage immediately reached the top of the trending list.

The day of the wedding, many people gathered at the filming location, all here to spectate. Even more media companies were broadcasting the whole thing online, resulting in a countless number of people watching live.

“They must have met in a game!” Everyone watching said.

“So even rich people play games!” Someone said excitedly.

Ji Yuan’s team immediately began to develop an online game, using the A.I. technology as well……

THe wedding ended under the discussion of all those people.

Ji Yuan and Bai Yang could finally rest.

In the bridal chamber, the two liked it and felt the atmosphere was great, feeling like they were inside the simulated world. Ji Yuan became excited.

Bai Yang also became excited.

And so the two immediately embraced and started eating each other’s faces off.

And then……

“AHHHH——! A scream sounded from the quiet villa.

They both forgot, in the simulated world they’ve already done it many times and were experienced, but in the real world, Bai Yang was still a pure virgin. Doing it right away like that resulted in Bai Yang being sent to the hospital……

The problem is that someone got f.u.c.king footage of it, so they were trending again…..
