Chapter 1: Strange Way of Traveling
In short, Luo Cheng traveled through time.
I went out to buy some groceries, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in an unfamiliar office.
In front of me was a brand new wooden table, the film used to protect the surface still intact, and on it lay a copy of the "Uma Musume Training Manual."
Apparently, he traveled to the world of Uma Musume, a world without chakra, without oripathy, and only a group of cute girls clamoring to compete every day.
Judging from the danger level of crossing, Uma Musume should be the safest type.
However, other people traveled through a real world with similar settings, while Luo Cheng traveled through a game world.
To be precise, it is a world that is half reality and half game.
Each person has a status bar that shows their [Mood], [Attributes], [Favorability], and [Skills].
Of course, if it were just these, it would be fine. When Luo Cheng came to the group of beautiful girls with ears and tails and greeted them, they would respond: "Good morning, trainer."
But when Luo Cheng continued to ask them something else, the group returned to the classroom as if they hadn't heard him.
This is true for everyone.
Why Luo Cheng said it was half reality and half game.
He was the only player and could only interact with the characters in simple ways. When Luo Cheng said, "Good morning," the group would react, but when Luo Cheng said, "You dropped something," they remained indifferent.
They cannot understand things outside of the system settings.
Luo Cheng wanted to go outside the academy to see if this was the case, but this world was sealed off and he couldn't take a single step out of the academy.
There was a transparent wall preventing him from getting out.
It's an air wall!
He was locked up and forced to play the role of a 'trainer'.
Yes, here he is a trainer.
"Trainer, what's today's training?"
A pony with a ponytail came into the room. She had fair skin that was unimaginable in the real world, cheeks so delicate that they seemed to be able to squeeze out water, beautiful big sky-blue eyes, and a vibrant brown ponytail. There was a crescent-shaped white highlight on her head, and her name was displayed on the information bar above her head: Emperor of the East China Sea.
When Luo Cheng saw the real pony for the first time, he was so shocked that he was speechless. This little pony is much cuter than the model!
Unlike others, the Emperor of the East Sea would respond to Luo Cheng's orders, but he would add: "Today's training content is--"
Just like the instructions in MC, as long as Luo Cheng adds that sentence in front, the Emperor of the East China Sea will do it.
There are limitations, though.
Luo Cheng can order her to do push-ups, but cannot order her to solve Fermat's Last Theorem. He can order her to move her tongue, but cannot order her to say what she wants to say.
Once it comes to matters related to language or thinking, the Emperor of the East China Sea will immediately crash.
It's a bit like a semi-intelligent robot that only receives instructions.
After ordering the Emperor of the East China Sea to run ten laps in the training ground and coming back, Luo Cheng pushed her down on the sofa and took off her shoes.
During this time, the Emperor of the East China Sea was like a puppet, motionless.
The green bar representing her stamina dropped a bit, and her speed increased from [90] to [91].
However, these are irrelevant. Luo Cheng looked at the sneakers in his hand. Long-term running caused the secretion of sweat, which circulated and evaporated in the shoes. The moment Luo Cheng took off his shoes, hot steam was released from the shoe opening, and his fingers were surrounded by the hot air.
The snow-white cotton socks were soaked with sweat, leaving a faint yellow mark, and the air was filled with a faint sweet and sour smell of sweat.
All this only proves one thing: people in this world have physiological reactions. We are not just models, we are all living people.
They just live according to the logic of the game.
The socks of the Emperor of the East China Sea were taken off, revealing his rosy and crystal clear toes. When Luo Cheng touched them, the emperor's toes instinctively bent slightly. Left alone, the Emperor of the East China Sea soon stood up and left the room barefoot.
The status bar above her head shows [Hungry].
When it's time to eat, this group of horse racing girls will go to the cafeteria. They chat and talk like normal people, but Luo Cheng can't join them. They won't respond to Luo Cheng, and even the aunt in the cafeteria is the same.
At this moment, Luo Cheng understood that he was an existence outside the world.
It's the 'player' here.
Luo Cheng held his head in disbelief. He confirmed it countless times, but this was the reality that Luo Cheng experienced.
Why is my time travel different from others?
Luo Cheng didn't know how long this situation would last.
With excitement and uneasiness, Luo Cheng began his life in Tresen.
Three months passed in a flash, and Luo Cheng was lying on the sofa in the office, resting his head on the thigh of the Emperor of the East China Sea.
The emperor is not very old, but his thighs are very toned, with soft and elastic lines. Every curve is just right. It feels so soft when you put your head on it that your whole head seems to sink into it. In addition to the texture, the taste is also amazing.
Sometimes Luo Cheng likes to sleep with his head resting on the other's thighs, but that will make the Emperor of the East China Sea feel worse the next day, and his physical strength will be reduced by half.
"Trainer, what's today's training?"
"Today's training is to sit here obediently."
"Yes."
Luo Cheng turned her body and buried her face between the emperor's thighs.
The sweet aroma of citrus fills my nose.
This is not the smell of clothes, nor the smell of laundry detergent, but the smell of the emperor himself. Even if she strips naked, she can still smell this pleasant sweet fragrance.
Beautiful girls' bodies are fragrant and their smells are sweet. Luo Cheng has already tested these.
Except after exercise.
They have a salty and sour taste after exercise.
When it comes to exercise, I have to complain about these people's systems.
If their underwear or coats are soiled, they will wash them themselves, but they are indifferent to hanging something on them or taking off all their clothes.
It seems that these behaviors are beyond the system's ability to cope.
I don't understand the logic behind these horse racing girls' decisions.
But it is convenient to be able to wash yourself, otherwise these horse racing girls will definitely have a strange smell on their bodies. Even if they are beautiful girls, their bodies will emit a stuffy smell after exercise, which, combined with their own body fragrance, forms an indescribable unique smell.
It smells a bit bad at first, but becomes more and more addictive the more you smell it.
Luo Cheng has been there several times and it's a bit scary.
"Emperor, please have a conversation with me..."
Luo Cheng muttered as he touched the emperor's thigh.
After such a long time of exploration, Luo Cheng discovered that only the Emperor of the East China Sea had the power to command her.
When giving orders to others, a translucent dialog box will pop up in front of Luo Cheng, prompting [Not a responsible relationship at the moment].
But Luo Cheng didn't know how to sign the contract, and it would be useless even if he forced the other party to sign.
What was the point of me coming here? To play a real-life dating game and hang out with pretty girls?
He had no purpose and could only do whatever he thought of, training them like they were playing a Uma Musume game.
During this period, the attributes of the East Sea Emperor have grown a lot. His speed, endurance, strength, root and intelligence have all reached over 120.
Even if it was a love activity, he couldn't just do it all day long, his body wouldn't be able to handle it. In his boredom, Luo Cheng would still read the trainer's book. According to the trainer's manual, the main task of this world was the competition, but Luo Cheng wanted to know what would happen if he failed, would he disappear from the spot, or start over again.
Luo Cheng always has the habit of preparing for the worst.
According to the "Uma Musume Training Manual" on the table, the competition time is about to begin.
If he fails, he might just disappear.
But it doesn't matter even if it disappears.
This world seems very lively, but in fact it is dead silent. Luo Cheng cannot feel any "vitality" from these people. He cannot talk to them, cannot communicate with them, there is no reaction, and no feedback.
Nothing at all.
Looking at the sky outside the window getting darker and darker, Luo Cheng closed his eyes.
Every day he fantasized that the world would return to normal when he woke up. He was fed up with this kind of life, being confined to a narrow world like a bird in a cage.
Luo Cheng was about to collapse.
He planned to sleep on the emperor's lap tonight. Although Luo Cheng tried to find someone else, everyone was lying on the bed like a puppet, motionless.
At least he could order the emperor to do squats on him.
During the time he was trapped in Tresen, the more than 2,000 students in the academy all became tools for Luo Cheng to pass the time. If it weren't for this group of different students who kept him fresh, Luo Cheng would definitely be driven crazy by this world.
There is no internet, and electronic devices cannot be used. All screens are pure white, like textures without any material. Luo Cheng is about to be assimilated by this world and become a puppet with an empty body.
The time was getting later and later, and the hands skipped past twelve o'clock in the morning. A ringing sound was heard in the dim world, and a dialog box popped up in the mind of Luo Cheng who was sleeping soundly.
[Trigger plot mission: Debut Competition]
...
"Trainer... Trainer! Wake up, lazybones!"
He opened his eyes drowsily, and various blocks of color reorganized in front of him. Soon, Luo Cheng saw the foal with puffed up mouth, pushing his shoulder - the Emperor of the East China Sea.
Chapter 2 Is this reality?
In the trainer's office, Luo Cheng looked at the angry Emperor of the East China Sea in front of him with a pout.
"Lazy trainer, sleeping all day long." After a few seconds, the emperor couldn't hold it in anymore and chuckled, "Seeing the trainer fall asleep, I couldn't help but want to tease him. Did you stay up late again to change your plans yesterday?"
Luo Cheng blinked, feeling as if he were in another world.
He stretched out his hand and pinched her thigh hard. The severe pain stimulated her brain. Luo Cheng trembled her body, but she was not satisfied yet. Luo Cheng stood up, walked in front of the Emperor of the East China Sea, held her face, and the two of them were almost touching each other.
"Trainer...what are you doing..." muttered the East China Sea Emperor, whose mouth was deformed by pressure.
"It's not a dream... I traveled through time. I actually traveled through time!"
After more than three months and more than a hundred days, Luo Cheng finally arrived in the real world! He was a living person. The Emperor of the East China Sea before him was a real person!
