The corner of Yang Yang's lips twitched as he stared at Shi Xiaobai. He was wondering what this fancy schlock was up to this time.
"Oh~"
Shi Xiaobai lowered his head as though he was considering for a moment. He then looked up at Yang Weiwei and said with a sigh, "The opportunity to become good friends with the great Shi Xiaobai is truly precious. Although a genius like This King had always felt disdain for game arcades, This King shall reluctantly apply for its membership because of Shi Xiaobai!"
After Shi Xiaobai said that, he retraced his steps using Crab Steps. This time, he moved extremely fast. In a moment, he was already at the bend, as though he was extremely eager.
At the moment he turned the corner, Shi Xiaobai suddenly looked back and shouted to Yang Weiwei, "Remember to thank Shi Xiaobai. This King is doing this all because of Shi Xiaobai!"
Yang Yang looked at this in amazement. He was wondering how Shi Xiaobai could be any more shameless.
Yang Weiwei stood there dazed for a moment before realizing that she had succeeded. She had succeeded in making the crab youth a customer! Although her means were somewhat "despicable", the results were good. At least, she wouldn't be fired!
"Yeah!"
Yang Weiwei cheered as she clenched her fists tightly. She felt like her hard work was not in vain and felt a great sense of achievement!
Yang Yang rolled his eyes. Was there a need to be this happy?
"Little Yang, in the future, if you meet Shi Xiaobai, remember to help me thank him. Oh right, I apologize by the way."
After Yang Weiwei instructed him with a smile, she quickly ran around the bend with her feet bare. As she ran, she would jump and yell, "Shi Xiaobai, I love you. Hahaha!"
Yang Yang watched in amazement. If this went on, Sis Weiwei would eventually be broken by the demon, Shi Xiaobai!
Wait, why does that sound strange?
Yang Yang let out a lamenting sigh. He felt like if this carried on, he too would be broken!
...
The battle arena cafe's walls and doors were plastered with gigantic computer graphics posters. On closer look, they were promotional posters for 'Unrivaled Heroes'. It appeared as though this game was very famous, so Shi Xiaobai felt a sense of anticipation.
Inside the battle arena cafe, Shi Xiaobai ignored others and carried on using his Crab Steps. He waited for Yang Weiwei and Yang Yang to catch up to him before eagerly going to the front desk with them.
The membership procedure was somewhat troublesome. This world also had something similar to an identification card, and clearly, Shi Xiaobai had no such thing. He could only mutter "This King's invisible crown is the proof of identity. It's just that you mortals can't see it."
The counter staff shook their heads saying that things had to go according to procedure. Without an identity card, he had to be rejected service.
Yang Weiwei, who was bent on having Shi Xiaobai become a member as soon as possible, immediately falsely used Xia Lin's authority to skip the requirement of an identity card. After tasting the wonders of deceit, this female assistant could no longer control herself.
As a mature corporation, the Battle Arena Corporation naturally had a series of detailed consumer packages. Shi Xiaobai, who had 'earned' 100,000 cash yesterday, only took a glance at it. With a wave of his hand, he immediately chose a deluxe package that cost 1000 a day.
Shi Xiaobai's room was labeled "233". After bidding Yang Yang farewell, he was led by Yang Weiwei to the 20th storey using an elevator.
The internal structure of the battle arena cafe was somewhat similar to a karaoke lounge. There were corridors at every corner, and personal rooms at every turn. However, the distances between the rooms in the battle arena cafe were somewhat far, and there was no way to peek into the room from any angle.
The corridor was silent and dark, but seemed to emanate an invisible smoky flavor.
After entering room 233, Shi Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up. He felt that the deluxe room was indeed worth the money.
The room had rosewood flooring and the internal design was bright and pleasant. There was a large and soft bed, a high-end couch and a glass table. There was a large liquid display panel on the wall, a computer desk that had a liquid display screen, a bookshelf filled with books, as well as a clothes closet. This did not look like a game room, it was practically a presidential suite!
The only thing that stood out was a white capsule-shaped box placed in the middle of the room. There were dozens of differently-colored cables extending out from the bottom of the box, reaching into various sockets on the wall.
"This is the virtual immersion device. By lying in here, double tapping the internal activation control will bring you into the virtual world."
Yang Weiwei went in front of the capsule box and slowly opened the lid. The internals of the box did not look complicated. There was a mat at the bottom, and the space inside accommodated two people. It would not be too uncomfortable to lie in it.
Yang Weiwei took out a magnetic card and passed it to Shi Xiaobai and said, "This room is locked from the inside. Other than general manager Xia's master key, only your key can open the room from the inside, so don't worry about being interrupted."
"If anyone were to forcefully enter your room, the life detector systems would send out an alert. It will immediately wake you up from your virtual immersion, so you do not need to worry about any security issues when in virtual reality."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned. Wouldn't this make it a completely enclosed private room? Then what about his three meals a day?
Yang Weiwei could read Shi Xiaobai's mind and walked to the glass table. She pointed at the table and said, "This table is actually a rising platform. Your daily three meals will be directly sent through this rising platform. There will be no need for a waiter to enter the room. Furthermore, you can use the computer in the room to decide on the meals you want. Of course, you can just accept the default deluxe set meal."
Yang Weiwei smiled slightly and continued introducing, "There is a toilet and a bathroom in the room, as well as ten sets of clothing prepared for you. If you find it insufficient, you can contact customer service and it will be delivered to you using the rising platform. So feel at ease when immersing yourself in the virtual experience while inside the room."
"By the way, make sure to take breaks while in virtual reality. Staying in virtual battle for more than eight hours is an enormous load on one's mental facilities. So you should have proper rest before continuing. The room has provided a comfortable bed."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned hearing this. Wasn't this service too good? With all daily necessities a load off the gamer's mind, it allowed a gamer to fully immerse themselves in a game. It was a specially designed paradise!
"Oh right, you can begin your virtual immersion. You just need to lie inside the virtual immersion box and press the activation button twice to enter the virtual world. The default virtual system would send you into the 'Unrivaled Heroes' world. The battle arena cafe has already provided you with a free and exclusive World Divine Realm account."
Yang Weiwei was very pleased with Shi Xiaobai's surprise. Even though virtual competition was not thought highly by the common people, the quality of service virtual competition had always enjoyed a good reputation.
"Please lie in here."
Yang Weiwei gestured respectfully and Shi Xiaobai nodded. He went into the capsule-shaped box and laid down. A comfortable feeling came from his back as he saw a red activation button beside him. With a light smile, Yang Weiwei closed the box's lid, which activated the lights inside the box, lighting up the tiny enclosed space.
Shi Xiaobai pressed the activation button twice.
The light disappeared in an instant.
"Welcome to Virtual Simulation OS Windows-v587!"
Shi Xiaobai: "..."

What kind of world would a virtual world be like?
After Shi Xiaobai laid inside the virtual immersion box and pressed the activation button twice, he felt his vision suddenly turn black and his mind went into a trance.
"Linking initiated! Beginning scan... Scan completed... Beginning character construction... Character construction completed..."
A neutral voice quickly narrated professional terminology in his mind.
"Virtual system established. Welcome to the virtual immersion world!"
The moment the voice was done, Shi Xiaobai immediately felt as though he was falling. The dark world suddenly lit up, and as he rubbed his eyes to get adjusted to the light, he was surprised that floating clouds were lingering around his body. Looking down below, there was a vast luscious green land approaching him slowly.
No, he was actually falling to the ground!
The sound of wind whistled in his ears. The realism made Shi Xiaobai immediately believe he was falling from high in the sky. After a moment of panic, he realized that this was a virtual world, but this vivid sense of falling was truly terrifying.
After calming down, he looked down at the vast stretch of greenery. Immediately he found a picturesque and lively scene. It looked like a paradise on earth, an immortal's retreat.
Just as he landed on the ground, a wind swept up and caused Shi Xiaobai to twirl before he landed safely.
Immediately following that, different faces appeared in the sky. Following that, different voices resounded from the sky.
"Some people say, battle and victory belongs to the people of glory."
"Others say that victory is a result of the intricate use of battle tactics and strength."
"All's fair in war, combat is a game of outwitting each other." It was a feminine voice.
"Only sheer force can bring about sheer victory." This was a voice with a powerful tone.
"But you can also forget about winning or losing and immerse yourself in joy!"
The pictures in the sky finally fixed on a pair of dull eyes and a simple-looking face. On closer look, it was baldy One-Pun!
"Welcome to Unrivaled Heroes!"
Everyone's voices said the last line in unison. With that, the sky suddenly turned bright blue. The clouds were dispersed and the sun faded away, but the light remained. Following that, dozens of large colorful lines appeared in the sky. They were located in every corner of Shi Xiaobai's vision, for example, "Select Mode", "Personal Settings", "Spectator Mode"...
And at this moment, the ground that Shi Xiaobai had land on was covered in red flowers and green willows. There were birds chirping and butterflies dancing, it was a pleasant scene. About dozens of meters behind him, there was a gorgeous castle.
This game world used the sky as a game interface, and used the earth as it's default scenery!
"Detected exclusive World Divine Realm account activation code. Current default domain is the city domain. By heading into the World Divine Realm, you can communicate with players all across the world. Do you want to activate your account?"
A sweet female voice resounded in his mind before two large characters "Yes" and "No" appeared in the sky interface.
Shi Xiaobai was stunned and intuitively reached his finger out to press "Yes". Immediately a delicate voice was heard.
"Account activation completed successfully. Initiating DNA binding. Please fill in your character nickname by thinking."
"GameKing!" This name flashed in Shi Xiaobai's mind.
"The following nickname is already taken." The system's voice responded immediately.
"WhiteEventideHereticKing!"
"The following nickname is already taken."
"KingOfGods!"
"The following nickname is already taken."
"ShiXiaobai!"
"The following nickname is already taken."
"ThisKingShi Xiaobai!"
"The following nickname is already taken."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned, even "ThisKingShiXiaobai" was taken by others?
"IChooseDeath!" Shi Xiaobai cursed in his heart.
"The following nickname is already taken."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned. Maybe...he could use an old meme from Earth?
"IChooseDogLeading!"
"Ding, this nickname is available. Do you want to bind this nickname?"
Shi Xiaobai was too deep for tears. Choosing a name sure wasn't easy. "Bind it."
After he named himself, lines of text suddenly emerged in the sky. It looked like subtitles while a pleasant sounding female voice read out the text.
"Unrivaled Heroes is a virtual competition game that pits a person's combat skills against an opponent of the same Psionic Ability realm. Vitality, stamina, and various statistics will be normalized to a standard value. The assignment of each value will be matched according to the rank of the match as well as the settings set by the creator of the match room."
"Please do not choose to enter a match above your level. If you are a Psionic Mortal Realm in reality, please do not enter a match with Psionic Soul Realm and above. Unrivaled Heroes aims to improve your proficiency in combat skills by allowing you to spar with an opponent of equal strength. Entering a match that matches your personal strength is the best way of improving your combat skills. Since you are experiencing Unrivaled Heroes for the first time, it is recommended that you select Single Person Battle Mode–Room Mode–Quick-Match."
"System scans indicate that you are in the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm in reality. Approximate values for your skin defense, flesh defense, bones defense and mental defence have been obtained. It has been defined in your virtual abstraction. You can freely adjust your own values, but it is recommended to maintain the same values. The more realistic it is in the virtual reality, the greater benefits you obtain in virtual combat."
"The system's default pain setting is 40% of reality. You can freely adjust it. It is recommended to maintain the default values. Excessive pain can cause mental trauma."
"..."
A few minutes later, the system's voice finally finished listing a long list of considerations and introductions. After "wishing you a pleasant experience" was said, the system's voice faded away. The sky in the interface returned to its original state and looked like a computer screen. There were icons, names as well as some cool fire effects.
The sky was no longer pure blue. There were thrilling battle videos played in the background. Background music that made one turn excited echoed from everywhere.
Shi Xiaobai was already stunned listening to all of this. He barely remembered a few of the considerations the system introduced. He immediately reached his hand out to choose "Select Mode". The sky interface immediately appeared the three choices, "Single Person Battle Mode", "Group Battle Mode", "Story Mode".
Shi Xiaobai was afraid that he would not resist the temptations of the other modes, so he rapidly clicked into Single Person Battle Mode–Room Mode–Quick-Match. He knew clearly his priority was to improve his Crab Steps' proficiency level, so listening to the system's suggestions was the best choice.
Quick Match was indeed as literal as it could be. In about ten seconds, the system's voice resounded.
"Room matched"
"Room number: 1413520"
"Room name: Abusing Elementary School Students like Dogs"
"Room owner: OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation"
"Room level: Psionic Mortal Realm 3rd level"
"Field map: Colosseum"
"Do you want to enter this room?"
Shi Xiaobai was stunned for a while before saying with a nod, "Enter."
"System defaults to hiding your identity. The other party cannot see your looks. We wish you an enjoyable game."
"Connecting to World Divine Realm... Connection to World Divine Realm complete. Welcome to the room 'Abusing Elementary School Students like Dogs'!"
The moment the system's voice faded away, Shi Xiaobai felt his mind enter a trance. The world around
him suddenly distorted and as though his body was leaping through space, he entered another world.
The scene in front of his eyes had changed. The green grass beneath him had turned into hard cement floor. An empty expanse of flat land was wrapped in layers of audience stands. It looked like the Beijing National Stadium magnified by more than ten times.
Shi Xiaobai had yet to be fully adjusted to it when a mocking voice came from a distance.
"Oh, here comes another elementary school student."
IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said “I will not easily ‘go die’”, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means ‘I’d rather die/I choose death’.

Chapter63 OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation
It was impossible to tell from the derisive voice if it was man or woman. There was no accent either, as though the system had done additional processing to conceal the person's identity.
Shi Xiaobai looked up and saw a person covered in a trench coat standing about a kilometer away. The trench coat hid his body, and there was a skull mask on his face. It was probably the identity concealment the system had mentioned previously.
Shi Xiaobai knitted his brows slightly at the person's derision, but he did not speak. He did not have the time or the effort to prove that—he was a junior high school student.
"Are you ready?" The system's voice resounded in his mind.
"Yes!" Shi Xiaobai immediately responded.
A passionate male system voice suddenly boomed from above the arena, "Both sides are ready. One minute countdown begins. Please make your final preparations before battle!"
The moment it was done, a countdown text appeared in the sky. "59, 58, 57, ..."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned. He was wondering how he could prepare before the battle when he noticed that an assault rifle had appeared in the hand of the person in a trench coat. From the looks of it, it was similar to AK47 assault rifles, but its external appearance was a mix of gold and silver. It also looked more dazzling and cooler.
