MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Early the next morning, Lu Hong got up early to work out in the gym within Ziyuan District. Yes, the district has a dedicated exercise area, with all sorts of equipment and a vast space that can accommodate a thousand people working out at the same time.

Though it was early morning, there were already more than a dozen middle-aged men starting their morning workouts.

One of them, upon seeing Lu Hong’s unfamiliar face, couldn’t help but feel curious and stepped forward to talk: "Hey, buddy? First time here?"

Looking at the warm smile of the middle-aged man in front of him, Lu Hong returned the smile: "Yes, I just moved in yesterday."

"Oh? May I ask which family you belong to?" The middle-aged man was curious. He had lived here for a long time, and Lu Hong’s sudden and unfamiliar face piqued his curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying: "I’m not from a big family, just temporarily staying here as a favor."

"No worries, the environment here is excellent, and the neighbors are all very friendly. Come by often when you have time." The middle-aged man didn’t show any displeasure because of Lu Hong’s ordinary status and responded with a smile before continuing his workout.

After finishing his morning workout, Lu Hong headed to the exclusive cafeteria in Ziyuan District. The cafeteria rarely had many visitors; although the food was indeed good, most residents here were either wealthy or privileged, leading busy lives. When they had a chance to stay home, they often preferred to cook for themselves and enjoy the tranquility.

Even though not many people came, the cafeteria remained diligent in maintaining their service.

The large cafeteria could also accommodate thousands for a meal at once, with more than eighty food counters. During breakfast, there were at least twenty counters offering various styles of breakfast dishes from all over.

Lu Hong took a look at the prices and noticed they were much higher than outside. A basket of steamed buns outside would cost about ten bucks, but here it was thirty. But the taste...

Lu Hong ordered a basket of steamed buns and a serving of soy milk.

One bite in, and this was undoubtedly the best steamed bun Lu Hong had ever tasted in his life, absolutely authentic to the extreme.

Swallowing the bite, Lu Hong looked up again at the chuckling man steaming the buns at the cafeteria window.

With skills like these, opening a shop outside would undoubtedly be a city-wide sensation!

He wondered how much salary Ziyuan District could offer such a top chef each month.

Lu Hong wolfed down a basket of steamed buns and still felt unsatisfied, so he ordered a second basket. It was only after finishing two baskets that Lu Hong felt content.

Back home, Lu Hong saw the note placed on the table in his room.

After a moment, Lu Hong picked up the note and dialed the number on it.

After a series of ring tones, a particularly lazy voice came through.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello, are you Luo Jiuxiu, the cousin of Young Master Luo, Luo Yanxue?"

"That’s me, who are you?"

Lu Hong first mentioned Luo Yanxue’s name; otherwise, if he started with his own name and the other didn’t recognize it, they’d probably hang up straight away.

After receiving a response from the other side, Lu Hong introduced himself: "Hello, I’m Lu Hong. Yesterday, Luo Yanxue recommended a job to me, saying you are looking to start a company within Sky Game and recruiting people, so I’m giving you a call to apply. I’m sorry for the unexpected intrusion."

"Oh, that. Yanxue already told me about it last night. I was wondering why you didn’t call yesterday. I just pulled an all-nighter. Let’s do this; I still need some rest. Come find me in Sofia Bar’s VIP Room 001 at eight tonight."

With that, Luo Jiuxiu hung up the phone.

Lu Hong silently memorized the address again in his mind.

And from Lu Hong’s distant memory, the location of Sofia Bar was retrieved.

This bar is the best in all of X City. It is said that even the minimum spending inside is at least fifty thousand a night, and as long as you have the money, you can do anything inside—even murder, if you pay enough!

Of course, the talk of murder might be an exaggeration, but it does reflect the immense power of this bar, overshadowing everything else, with connections spanning the sky.

And Sofia Bar’s VIP Room 001 is undoubtedly the best room, further illustrating Luo Jiuxiu’s economic strength and the terrifying influence behind him. Otherwise, how could he have secured such a room?

Around 7:30 in the evening, Lu Hong got out of a taxi and stood at the entrance of Sofia Bar.

Seeing Lu Hong approaching the bar, the doorman quickly greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, may I ask if you have a reservation for a private room or hall?"

"Hello, I have an appointment with Young Master Luo in Room 001, and I’m here to see him."

Hearing Lu Hong’s response, the doorman became even more respectful: "Please, let me take you to the room."

The doorman opened the heavy door, and the pulsating music stimulating the nerves surged towards Lu Hong like a wave.

Lu Hong couldn’t help but move along with the rhythm.

Following the doorman, Lu Hong entered Sofia Bar.

Upon entering and passing through the corridor, he saw the large central bar area, surrounded by booths. In the central pool, the DJ was immersed in frantically unleashing the nest of music, and on stage, four stunningly hot women with unique charms swayed their bodies to the music, driving the crowd below into a frenzy.

Lu Hong couldn’t take his eyes off the scene.

"Sir? Sir?"

After several calls from the doorman, Lu Hong finally snapped back to reality and continued to follow him away from the central scene.

After passing through an electronic entrance guarded by several bodyguards, Lu Hong finally stood at the door of VIP Room 001.

After communicating through the door’s electronic intercom, the doorman and bodyguards felt at ease to leave.

And the door was authorized to open.

Seeing the door open, Lu Hong quickly stepped inside and closed it behind him.

Raising his eyes, he was met with a dazzling scene.

Three women were currently surrounding Luo Jiuxiu, who was sitting in a gaming chair. One was massaging Luo Jiuxiu’s shoulders, another was feeding him, and the last one was, uh, doing something between his legs.

Lu Hong had never witnessed such a scene before. Although he had fantasized in his Dream Realm, it wasn’t real. But now what he was seeing was absolutely real.

"Uh... Apologies, Young Master Luo, I came at a bad time. I’ll come back later!" Lu Hong said awkwardly.

But the three women in the booth didn’t care at all, and Luo Jiuxiu even less. He waved his hand and said, "Brother, not used to the big scene are you? Come on, come on, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."

Seeing Luo Jiuxiu beckoning him, Lu Hong quickly stepped forward.

"Hello, Young Master Luo, my name is Lu Hong. I’m the one who spoke with you on the phone earlier today."

"Hmm." Luo Jiuxiu glanced up and down at Lu Hong, then said: "How are your skills in Sky? Yesterday, Yanxue just mentioned you, saying he’s referring someone to work here for me. We need to chat specifically, though Yanxue introduced you, I cannot give you a high position if you lack capability. It’s fine to earn a little money to live on, I can even support you, after all, Yanxue spoke for you. But I needed to state this upfront, so you don’t say I ignored relationships."

Hearing Luo Jiuxiu’s candid words made Lu Hong feel much calmer.

Receiving favors had always been something Lu Hong was averse to. Now, seeing that the other party didn’t show excessive favor just due to human ties was precisely what Lu Hong wanted.

He quickly replied, "I did well in Sky Game before, won the Grand Championship in the World Championship two years ago, but some accident left me comatose for two years. I’ve only recently recovered."

Hearing Lu Hong’s response, Luo Jiuxiu was taken aback. He then pushed aside the woman working between his legs, stood up, and came before Lu Hong, his face unable to hide his joy: "You’re the Grand Champion of the first World Championship?! You’re that warrior master?! Damn! This damned Yanxue didn’t tell me sooner he could actually bring such a god into my presence! Hahaha, hahaha!"
