Even the most tense relationships—
Couldn't shake a heart set on having fun.
Tokyo Luxury Grand Hotel.
The facilities here were top-tier and complete.
Booking a room in this hotel required not just money, but connections.
Only high-profile individuals could afford to stay in such a posh place.
Ordinary people didn't even have the right to walk through the doors.
At this moment, inside a lavish presidential suite—
Lu Mingfei was sitting on the carpeted floor.
The floor was covered with a delicate, soft rug, so sitting on it felt like sinking into a plush sofa.
In this country, sitting on the floor was quite common.
Most regular households had tatami mats, and it was typical to sleep on futons laid directly on the floor.
"Just a mere Chun-Li, watch me KO you. Hadouken, Hadouken!"
Lu Mingfei's fingers moved swiftly across the controller.
His gaming skills were already exceptional to begin with, and now, with his enhanced physical reflexes, he was practically at pro-level.
His opponent—Chun-Li—wasn't weak either, clearly at least a professional-grade player.
The back-and-forth match was intense and exhilarating.
But in the end, Lu Mingfei landed the finishing blow, knocking out Chun-Li.
"Yes! Nailed it! You little rookie dare challenge me? Come back after ten more years of practice!"
The gaming console in this presidential suite was one of the most advanced systems in the world—
Top-tier in both speed and responsiveness.
For a hardcore gaming shut-in, owning a console like this would mean never needing to leave the house again.
On the 50-inch ultra-HD screen, a message popped up: the player was challenging again.
"This rookie must be a glutton for punishment."
Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei clicked "Accept."
The game began anew.
To Lu Mingfei, this kind of life was already everything he wanted—
Staying home every day, gaming, snacking…
Ren Asakura was sitting on a leather sofa nearby.
On the table in front of her was a freshly steeped pot of tea.
Standing beside her, Mai wore a cute blue-and-white maid outfit.
"Master, your tea is ready," she said with a gentle smile, like a professional maid trained to perfection.
Ren Asakura gave a nod.
"Yoshi, you're doin' great, very good job indeed."
Mai's mouth twitched slightly.
If she weren't no match for her boss in a fight, she would never have agreed to such a perverted request.
He actually made her do roleplay—cosplaying as a sweet little maid.
At first, she had refused.
But unfortunately, she had already signed that tyrannical employment contract.
Clause #3 of her ruthless boss's employee code: "You must obey all orders from your boss without question. Slacking off is not tolerated."
Ren Asakura elegantly picked up the white porcelain teacup.
The red tea inside glimmered like crystal.
She took a gentle sip.
"Yoshi, you're a model citizen."
Then, she set the teacup down with equal elegance.
Mai kept the same sweet smile on her face—
And seamlessly refilled the tea without missing a beat.
In this country, maids were a huge draw.
Maid cafés, maid salesgirls, maid-themed omelet rice...
In a certain sense, maids fulfill men's fantasies and "XP" preferences.
"Housekeeper" just sounded like a title for a middle-aged woman.
But a cute maid girl was a perfect fit for the youthful and beautiful Ren Asakura.
And besides, this was Japan. Ren felt it was best to follow local customs.
So he directly changed "housekeeper" to "maid."
He'd follow local customs himself, too.
At this moment, Old Tang, Constantine, and Fenrir were watching TV.
All three dragon kings were born in China, so instead of Japanese TV dramas, they preferred to watch Chinese-language shows.
And the TV in the presidential suite could access every channel in the world.
Of course, if they wanted to watch something specific, they could also search online.
Right now, the massive screen—just like a cinema—was playing Armor Hero.
The three dragon kings were thoroughly engrossed, especially Fenrir. He absolutely loved it.
Truly, no child could resist the charm of Armor Hero.
No longer did he have to go back to the labyrinth and watch the same boring film over and over again.
Now he could watch whatever he wanted.
On the big screen, the scene of Earth Armor Hero Di Hu Xia getting thrashed was playing.
Though in the lore, Earth Armor Hero was supposed to be the strongest in terms of power and jumping ability…
Unfortunately, his performance in the show was always just average.
But even so, Fenrir still thought Di Hu Xia was amazing.
Watching Fenrir's cheerful face, a sudden idea flashed through Ren Asakura's mind—
What if the Five Elements Armor really appeared in the real world?
The Bronze and Fire King would correspond to the Flame Dragon Armor.
The Earth and Mountain King would match with Earth Tiger Armor.
The Sky and Wind King aligned with Wind Eagle Armor.
The Ocean and Water King with Black Rhino Armor.
The Snow Mastiff Armor would represent the White King.
And as the leader of all armors, the Emperor Armor would naturally correspond to the supreme dragon—Black King.
It was an amusing thought.
But among the dragon kings, there were enemies too.
Still, that wouldn't stop Ren from doing what he needed to do next.
Fenrir was utterly absorbed in the TV battle between Earth Tiger Armor and the energy beast.
As the battle hit its climax, his heart raced.
It was as if he'd been transported into the world of Armor Hero himself.
The episode soon came to an end.
Such a simple, ordinary day was filled with a small sense of happiness.
On the game screen—
Lu Mingfei landed a final blow with a sliver of HP and KO'd his opponent.
"What the heck, who is this guy? Is he using a smurf account or something? That was way better than the last guy!"
Lu Mingfei grumbled.
Ren Asakura stood up and walked over to him.
"Look who's talking. You're a cultivator bullying a regular person."
Lu Mingfei dropped the controller and declined the next challenge request.
"If I won fair and square, how is that bullying? Anyway, boss, when are we going to Akihabara? I can't wait anymore—adorable maid girls are waiting for me! Also, I need to buy the latest Pokémon game from Nintendo."
Ren glanced over at Ren Asakura, who was dressed in a maid outfit.
"Then we'll need our little maid here to arrange the schedule for us."
Ren Asakura replied flatly.
"The weather today calls for rain. Not suitable for going out."
Lu Mingfei turned to look out the window.
"No way—it's blazing sunny out there! And weather forecasts are never right anyway."
Ren nodded.
"Exactly. I'm more accurate than the forecast."
"Alright, then. I'll plan it for you guys."
Ren Asakura sighed helplessly.
These kids really were a handful.
"Hell yeah! Maid-san is the best!" Lu Mingfei jumped for joy.
"But… I have a tiny bit of bad news. Want to hear it?"
Lu Mingfei blinked, instinctively asking:
"What bad news?"
"Ren Asakura has been put on the wanted list. He's now officially wanted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police."
Her tone was completely calm, as if she were talking about the weather.
