Yusra's eyes were wide open like those of a goldfish, with a terrifying expression as if she had seen a ghost. She jumped a few steps backward and her whole body was shaking: "You... What did you say?"
I helplessly spread my hands: "I knew you would do this. Well, I just said, let's get married."
Yusra's body was still shaking and her voice was trembling: "You... How could you... When did... You must be playing with me! I don't believe it! How could it be possible!"
I coughed: "Well, I really didn't play with you. I've been seriously considering it for a long time."
At this moment, Julie, who was equally stunned, had understood and happily pulled Yusra to congratulate her.
Yusra's face behind the veil seemed to turn red, and suddenly lowered her head: "I really didn't expect that, actually... You... In fact... Actually I... I also..."
I interrupted her: "I just checked the game help. When two people get married in the game, their city contribution can be added together and counted as the contribution of this family to the city. So, after we get married, the contribution of our family to the city reaches 99%. And the head of our family can become the lord of the city!"
Yusra let out a cry, her voice high and not human-like. I felt my head explode on the spot and quickly turned off my hearing, but my whole body was struck by a cold shock, as if being struck by an electric current.
Then, Yusra's eyes seemed to be on fire as she pointed at me, her veil fluttering. She seemed to be saying something to me. It seemed that she was very excited.
I interrupted her: "Don't you understand? I've explained it clearly! That is, as long as we get married, I can become the lord. Well, after becoming the lord, I will share the income with you."
Yusra suddenly let out a scream again, her voice higher than that of a human. I had to cover my ears and hold on to survive.
Yusra's eyes seemed to be on fire as well, pointing at me. Her veil was fluttering. She seemed to be saying something to me. It seemed that she was very excited.
I took a long moment to come to my senses and turned on my hearing. Yusra seemed to have said a lot of things just now, struggling to catch her breath, her chest rising and falling violently, her gaze still like it wanted to kill. Julie was comforting her beside me, and she also gave me a fierce glare with her eyes.
I felt a little embarrassed and carefully said: "Yusra, you... What did you just say? I, my headphones are broken, I didn't hear it."
Yusra let out another scream, as if going crazy again. I had to cover my ears and hold on.
Yusra was exhausted and suddenly her gaze became determined: "You, put your hands down!"
I obediently put my hands down. Yusra said angrily: "Marriage is fine, but the head of the family must write my name, and the income in the future will all belong to me!"
I frowned: "No way, Miss, you haven't gained anything without it?"
Yusra glared at me fiercely: "Who said there wasn't? This lady married you, and you have already gained a huge advantage!"
I chuckled dryly: "Yeah, yeah. But Miss, well, how about adding a little bit? You six, I four, okay?"
"No!" "You seven, I three?" "No!" "You eight, I two?" "No!"
I couldn't hold it any longer: "Yusra, you're too greedy. You know, my contribution to the city is higher than yours, and the title is also higher. We should share it, and you've already done very well! If you don't do it, it's fine. Anyway, as the city lord, I can also find ways to divert the city's funds and have a decent salary too!"
Yusra snorted: "Alright, I'll take one-tenth."
"No!" "You take two-tenths!" "No!" "You just said... Alright, three-tenths..."
Finally, an agreement was reached. Yusra got six-tenths, and I got four-tenths.
After I agreed, I started to regret it over and over again. Why should I suffer? It's because I needed money urgently, and there was no other way.
Looking at Yusra's appearance, it seemed that she didn't care much about money. Ah, if someone had no money, how could they choose the wizard profession? So, she was willing to pay the price.
While feeling sorry for the money, she came to the God Temple with Yusra.
There was no priest at the God Temple. Julie acted as the witness and recited the vow that Raoul had written on the wall: "Whether poor or rich, whether sick or healthy, I will always be by his (her) side... Winter thunder rumbling, summer rain and snow, Baxter united, dare to break with you... I decide to love you for ten thousand years..."
To tell the truth, these words were quite touching. Thinking of my previous girlfriends, if they had agreed to recite these words with me, how happy it would have been.
Whether the vow can be kept is not important. As long as our hearts are true in that moment, it is enough.
Unconsciously, I really felt moved, and my eyes were already moist. Yusra beside me seemed to glance at me. God knows, this girl was muttering something in her mouth. Anyway, the system message said: "The woman's vow is incorrect. Please repeat it..."
I fainted. Yusra pouted and still dragged her voice to repeat the vow.
Exchange the rings. This is simple. There are plenty of them on me. However, it's still a big wedding event. It can't be too shabby. I gave Yusra the very beautiful moon-level ring that a god had given me. Yusra accepted it politely and gave me a trashy wooden ring. God knows, this strange woman still had such novice equipment on her.
Put on the ring. The system message said: "There is no level requirement for the wedding ring. It is an item that never drops or wears out. It will only fall off when divorced."
I was dizzy. I regretted it so much. If I had known there was no level requirement, I would have given Yusra another moon-level ring to be her wedding ring!
Then, a rose-colored light enveloped us. The system message said: "Congratulations to the player and Tian Zhengfen and the player Yusra becoming the first couple in the 'Infinite World'. Both your reputations will increase by 1000 points. You will receive 100 points of friendly relationship. The system will give you 100 gold coins each. May you be happy forever."
I turned to look at Yusra. I saw that she was staring at the rose-colored light, lost in thought. Honestly speaking, at this moment, her eyes were really beautiful, making me stunned for a moment.
After a while, I came to my senses and coughed: "Yusra, is this your first time getting married in the game? You look so excited!"
Yusra seemed to wake up from a dream and turned her head to glare at me fiercely: "No way! I have played over a dozen online games, and each game has a husband. Hmph!"
I hummed in agreement. I didn't know if she wore a mask in other games. If her husbands opened their faces and saw her... Well, that's not fair. Even if I don't consider her my wife, she is still my friend, right?
Yusra said sarcastically: "You too? You were like this before? Married a girl you just met in the game for a few days?"
I chuckled: "Not just that. Some games allow you to customize your appearance and gender. I have married many men in those games, hehe..."
Yusra spat: "So disgusting... a monster!" ... Well, no way! I heard that online games have long stopped allowing players to customize their gender!"
I gave a couple of puzzled chuckles, forgetting that there was still a 20-year age gap between us.
Suddenly, a sweet voice came: "Oh, you guys are so quick! I heard someone getting married in the temple, but it only took a moment. You guys were done already."
It was the Goddess of Love returning.
The Goddess of Love rolled her eyes several times: "You are the first couple in the game. According to the rules, I must give you special blessings. Well, what should I give? Let's just wish you a lifetime together?"
I exclaimed, "A lifetime together? Does that mean it will increase our lifespan? This game will age too?"
The Goddess of Love giggled: "You still think like a Chinese? You don't know this. It means to make you two never separate from each other."
I and Yusra almost shouted simultaneously: "No!"
The Goddess of Love widened her eyes and looked at us for a while before coming to her senses and thinking again: "Then have a baby early? That means having your first child in a week."
I and Yusra jumped up: "We can have a baby!"
The Goddess of Love nodded: "Yes, after marriage, usually it takes a month for the first child to be born. If you want to have another one, you need to complete a special task."
Yusra screamed: "Too! Too terrifying! I don't want to have a baby!"
The Goddess of Love giggled again: "Relax, it won't hurt. In a week, your child will automatically appear in your home."
"Don't!" Yusra's scream this time even made the Goddess of Love unable to bear it, covering her ears.
The Goddess of Love helplessly said: "Then what do you want? Choose by yourselves... "
Yusra thought for a moment: "I want a big house, or a garden..."
The Goddess of Love sighed: "I only deal with matters related to marriage and love. I can't fulfill these realistic material needs."
I raised my hand: "Then, I want... Can I get married several times more?"
Yusra was hit by a burst of blows from me, and even the Goddess of Love jumped over to hit my head hard.
The Goddess of Love angrily said: "You men are all like this. So greedy, so unfaithful, so irresponsible, so... No wonder you created that demon spirit of the Desire God!"
I let out a series of screams: "Okay, okay, stop hitting me or I'll file for divorce!"
The two women, or rather, one was a goddess, stopped at once. The Goddess of Love widened her eyes: "Divorce? You think that's funny? You are the first couple to get married in the game. Divorcing you would cause so much damage. Don't even think about it! Hmph, I will definitely not approve of your divorce!"
I and Yusra both exclaimed, this was a big problem. Originally, it was just a "political marriage" for the position of the Lord, but with money and a true love, I was planning to get divorced!
The Goddess of Love suddenly looked serious: "It seems that your attitude towards marriage is very casual, and your emotional foundation is extremely weak. I decide to give you a blessing - mutual support!"
We were just about to ask questions when a heart-shaped light surrounded us.
"Mutual support, couple's combo skill. After using it, both the couple will be in an invincible defense state. Level 1, Grade 1, duration 10 seconds. Requirements: 100 MP, the two must be within half a meter of each other, and the number of uses per day is unlimited."
"Invincible defense state!" So powerful! That means, within these 10 seconds, all attacks are ineffective! And the number of uses is unlimited! As long as you have enough magic potions, you won't be invincible forever!
Game console, please stop playing tricks on me, okay? I'm already a superman already. You still want to make me even more messed up?
However, after careful consideration: "How could I team up with this woman? After getting the Lord position, we won't be working together anymore. She also hated me the most. Even if she was begged to stay with me for just one more second, she wouldn't be willing. This skill was never going to be used anyway."
The Goddess of Love continued, "Your skill ranks third among the top ten combined skills in the continent. Moreover, it is unique and no other couples can obtain it. Couples usually have combined skills, but this is not a reward. So, I'll give you another gift: Sympathy, which means being able to communicate through the mind, without being restricted by distance or space."
After leaving the Goddess Temple, I suddenly felt dizzy. To tell the truth, it seemed like I was getting married for the first time to a girl I met in the game!
Apart from getting married with the human-ape friends to facilitate the completion of tasks, I had only ever pretended to take my girlfriend to the game to get married before. Other girls in the games, I had never been interested in. Because in my eyes, girls only want things from you, want you to take them to do tasks and upgrade, while for me, a professional player, money and upgrading are the most important things.
However, this virtual wife of mine now somehow made me feel as if I had a responsibility, completely different from before.
As I walked down the steps, Yusra suddenly slipped and fell forward. I hurriedly reached out to pull her.
My heart tightened. I was about to accept the system's protection measure for female players: rebound, but nothing happened.
I stared blankly at the clean little hand in my hand, as if there was an electric current passing through my arm. It seemed even more real than the feeling of holding hands with my girlfriend in the real world?
Yusra also stared blankly at me. In this moment, it seemed that an awkward emotion had arisen between us, and something else...
I suddenly came to my senses and coughed twice, "Yusra, the Goddess of Love has designated you as the head of the household. Then go to the King to apply for the title of lord. I must return to my own town now. I have too many things to do immediately."
Yusra withdrew her hand and said softly, "Okay, then, when shall we meet here again?"
I looked up at the sky. Hundreds of gods were constantly launching fierce attacks on the sky, but the clouds on the sky parted and then closed again, still not allowing any sunlight to penetrate.
I said to Yusra, "It seems that the magic circle here won't be cracked for a long time. As long as the magic circle isn't broken, there won't be any players coming to the Ghost City. Let's wait. When the magic circle is cracked, we'll come back. We don't have 'Sympathy' yet, so let's contact each other if there's anything."
Yusra nodded her head in silence.
Inviting Julie to come back with me to Friendship Town, Julie also agreed. After observing the differences between the ancient kitchen and the modern kitchen in the city, I left with the two beauties through the secret passage.
From Ancient Style City, I used the teleportation array to return to the long-lost Sunset City. Without any pause, I pressed the button for Friendship Town in the teleportation array.
Finally, it's time to go home!!!
