Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Nobody Does Human Things’ words instantly energized Rune on the other end of the phone.
“I get it, I get it!”
Rune couldn’t bother sleeping anymore. He flipped over and sat up, opening his computer in a strange posture.
In his room, a game pod connected to the computer was placed. This game pod was prepared for Cain Continent, and he had even stocked a year’s worth of official nutrient solution for Cain Continent in advance.
This shows how much Rune was looking forward to the game, Cain Continent.
“Brother Li! Big Brother! Enough said, I’ll treat you to fifty meals of pig’s trotter rice!”
Rune pleaded with Nobody Does Human Things on the phone while logging into the official game website and entering his registration information.
Fifty meals of pig’s trotter rice were already a generous offer!
Back when he was egged on to confess to the Goddess, he had only bet 10 meals of pig’s trotter rice.
“Your address is not intimate enough.”
Nobody Does Human Things’ mischievous voice came from the other end of the phone.
Rune understood instantly.
“Grandpa Li!”
“That makes me seem too old.”
Nobody Does Human Things was still not satisfied.
Rune gritted his teeth, wavering between acknowledging a stranger as family and playing the game. In the end, he chose Cain Continent, which he loved the most.
“Father Li!”
“Aiyoh, my son is so well-behaved.”
Nobody Does Human Things was finally satisfied and sighed comfortably.
“But you can’t go back on your promise of fifty meals of pig’s trotter rice. Consider it your filial devotion to your father.”
“No problem, whenever you want to eat, I’ll order it for you ~”
Although Rune was gritting his teeth inwardly, he maintained a smiling face on the outside, acting obsequious and flattering.
“Eat, eat, eat. Once I get the invitation code, all fifty meals of pig’s trotter rice will be served extra spicy for your father!”
Rune muttered inwardly, eagerly awaiting Nobody Does Human Things’ invitation code.
Nobody Does Human Things didn’t tease his childhood friend any further and honestly gave out the invitation code.
He planned to sell the other two invitation codes.
He had been keeping an eye on the forum information, and in the short time he had been talking to Rune on the phone, the price of an invitation code had already been inflated to fifty thousand yuan each.
Speaking of which, ever since he started playing Cain Continent, he had never been short of money.
Although this game had no official in-game purchase channels, it did not restrict players from trading with each other, and all transactions were completed under the supervision of the game system, leaving no room for fraud.
Now, his family’s better game pod was purchased in full with the money earned from selling equipment in the game.
Nobody Does Human Things listed his invitation code on the game trading platform. He didn’t know how the official Cain Continent system operated, but the number of remaining uses for his invitation code was detected and displayed, completely eliminating any possibility of clever tricks.
On the other side, Rune was also filling in Nobody Does Human Things’ invitation code in the application form. His hands trembled with excitement, and he made mistakes entering it multiple times.
After repeatedly checking and confirming five or six times, he finally clicked the confirm button.
[Congratulations on successfully pre-registering for Cain Continent. You are the 879,362nd player to pre-register. Your referrer is ID Nobody Does Human Things.

[Warm reminder: As a pre-registered player with an invitation code, you can experience Cain Continent’s full five-sense technology in the test room to adapt to the upcoming game content more quickly.]
[The test room has been automatically installed in your game pod.]
“Awesome!”
Rune clenched his fist tightly and let out an excited roar.
He had a strong premonition.
He was almost certain he had obtained the third test qualification for Cain Continent this time.
Since childhood, whenever he had such a premonition, the predicted event would almost always come true, so he was very confident about it.
“First step of the game, let’s start by getting familiar with the game pod!”
Rune opened his limited edition Cain Continent game pod. Inside, there was also a beautifully crafted life-size dakimakura of a demi-human beautiful girl.
Then, he lay down stiffly inside like a corpse. Perhaps his chubby physique made it a bit crowded, and the life-size demi-human beautiful girl pillow was reluctantly squeezed out.
“Cain Continent, here I come!”
Rune closed his eyes and entered the Cain Continent game test room with an excited heart.
However, Rune didn’t know.
The moment he entered the Cain Continent game test room.
A pop-up window with a red and black background, looking mottled and held by demonic claws around the edges, slowly appeared from the bottom right corner of his computer.
[Are you still hesitating due to your weakness? Are you still regretting everything you have lost? Are you still struggling helplessly in a painful reality? Then, come and join us, chosen one, join the Abyssal forces of Cain Continent, become a Purifier, become the master of yourself!]
[Here, you will gain infinite power!]
[The third test of the Abyssal forces of Cain Continent has grandly begun. There are only twenty thousand slots for this test. What are you still hesitating about!?]
This black pop-up window grew larger and larger until it occupied the entire computer desktop. A scarlet Eye of the Demon suddenly opened above the system tray, scanning left and right. Then, the camera in Rune’s house also moved strangely.
No target found.
The Eye of the Demon blinked twice and slowly closed.
The recruitment pop-up window for the Abyssal forces of Cain Continent gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
…
“Why did you suddenly attack pedestrians on the street?”
At the Security Bureau, a guard sat opposite CN Bai Zhu with a solemn expression.
Dense iron bars surrounded them, and there were also many guards armed with standard weapons.
CN Bai Zhu was wearing a pair of blood-stained pajamas, his face pale, and his eyes malevolent. Facing the man’s questioning, he merely lowered his head and remained silent.
“I advise you to answer my questions properly. If you cooperate, you can move on to the next stage, and you can go home sooner.”
The guard’s voice rose higher, becoming more stern and carrying a hint of threat.
However, the boy, who looked not very old, still maintained a “dead pig not afraid of boiling water” demeanor, not even bothering to move.
Just half a day ago, the guard received a report of a street brawl and assault. When he arrived at the scene, he found a young man unilaterally beating up a large, bald strong man.
If the security guards hadn’t arrived quickly.
This bald strong man might have been beaten to death by the ferocious young man in front of him.
Currently, the bald strong man had just been rescued.
Moreover, according to the surrounding pedestrians and the strong man, he had no prior interaction with the boy in front of him. They just happened to meet on the street, and then this boy suddenly attacked him.
Originally, the guard thought there must be some hidden reason for this incident.
But after reviewing the surveillance footage and the boy’s background, he discovered.
The boy and the strong man were indeed strangers. They met on the street and the boy attacked.
Therefore, he was now sternly interrogating the boy.
