"Really? Let me see, hey, it really is like that."

"what?"

Klin looked at Yi Shuihan with a blank expression. He was actually lying. He wasn't dressed in white at all. In reality, he was dressed in green with one or two pieces of blue.

In the ancient world, equipment is divided into broken, common, fine, legendary, epic, and forbidden according to its level, and is simply referred to by color as white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.

Equipment is really hard to obtain. If a person manages to get one piece of equipment a day, they're considered lucky. And most of the equipment they get is white-grade. As for higher-grade green-grade equipment, the drop rate is several times lower than that of white-grade equipment.

In fact, for the same level, Krillin's equipment is already quite good and can be considered mainstream.

Currently, the highest-level equipment in the Ancient World is purple gear, with only 3 pieces available. Each piece of purple gear provides a 20-point boost to combat power in the real world. Imagine if you had a full set of purple gear; even an ordinary person would have over a million points of combat power with the boost, which is simply terrifying.

Klin's equipment, even with bonuses, would have given him over 3000 points, but now it's less than 100, because Yi Shuihan replaced it with several pieces of white equipment.

Klin received a notification from the Ancient World, learning about the changes in his equipment. He looked at Yi Shuihan with a bitter expression, on the verge of tears.

It will take at least several months to get all that equipment back!

He came here hoping to get some benefits, but instead of getting something for nothing, he ended up losing more than he gained. Klin was devastated.

"Grandmaster, I was wrong. Please give me back my equipment! I will never dare to lie to you again."

Kelin grabbed Yi Shuihan's leg and cried out.

"You're wrong? No! You're not wrong. Your preparations were exactly like that. What do you mean by 'wrong'? I don't understand what you're saying at all."

Yi Shuihan had a smile on his face, but in Kelin's eyes, that smile was the smile of a devil, and he regretted coming to Yi Shuihan to ask for benefits.

Not far away, Takenori, who had ordered Krillin to demand benefits, looked up at the sky, as if something in the sky was attracting him.

"I don't care, if you don't give my equipment back, I'm going to cling to your leg and never let go."

When his desperate pleas failed, Klin also became a bachelor.

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan was no threat to him. With just a slight effort, he broke free from Krillin's hands. Then, the reverse dodge struck Krillin deeply, causing him to fly and collide involuntarily in this area.

Bang bang bang, rumble

The pitiful screams continued, and Klin began to beg for mercy before he could last even a minute.

"Help! Master, I dare not do it again."

"Hey, stop! I don't want the equipment anymore, okay?"

"I'm going to die if this continues, Master Roshi, save me!"

A moment later, Klin gloriously fainted, his body hanging from a large tree.

"It's finally quiet."

A glance at Wu Tian, ​​who was still putting on an act, made Wu Tian's whole body stiffen. He was afraid that Yi Shuihan would use the same method to deal with him. He had not seen how Yi Shuihan did it at all, but he knew that if he were Klin, he would not be much better off.

"Wukong! How about I teach you a way to become stronger? As long as you do as I say, your combat power is guaranteed to skyrocket."

"Okay, okay! Tell me quickly."

"You have a game character in the Ancient World, right?"

"some."

"There is a marriage function in the game. As long as you find someone in the game to marry, you can activate the marriage bonus mode. In real life, if you are with your wife in the game, your combat power will increase by 30%, and if you are not together, it will still increase by 5%."

"Marriage, what is that?"

"Don't worry about what marriage is. Just go into the game and ask someone. If someone agrees, you can get married. Remember to be sincere when you ask."

Chapter 960, Marriage Function Launched

Sun Wukong was persistent in his pursuit of martial arts and power. Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's suggestion, he didn't even hesitate and immediately entered the Desolate Ancient World to begin his marriage proposal journey.

Wu Tian heard Yi Shuihan's deception of Sun Wukong, but he dared not remind Sun Wukong, fearing that Yi Shuihan might do something to him as well.

As for the claim that getting married in the game can increase combat power in the real world, this was the first time Wu Tian had heard of such a claim. However, he did not doubt it, even though he knew very well that there had never been such a claim before, and perhaps marriage did not even exist in the game.

But don't forget who Yi Shuihan is. He is the creator of the Ancient World, a true supreme being. Adding a function would be very easy for him.

Wu Tian could even imagine that if marriage really could increase combat power, it would probably set off a marriage craze in the game, and he might have to find a partner in the game too.

Sun Wukong, engrossed in the game, was unaware that Yi Shuihan was projecting his game screen onto the screen and silently watching.

In the game, Sun Wukong is at level 50, which is considered above average. His body in the game is almost identical to his real-life counterpart, except that he doesn't have a tail.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Grabbing an orc's arm, and under his questioning gaze, Sun Wukong asked with unusual seriousness and earnestness.

"Will you marry me?"

"What? Say it again?"

"Will you marry me?"

"Damn it, you're insane! Get the hell out of here, you're disgusting."

The orc turned and left. If this weren't a peaceful zone where killing wasn't allowed, he would have killed Sun Wukong until he reached level zero.

"What's wrong with him? Why is he so angry?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head in confusion, then turned his attention to another person.

Then, a strange scene unfolded in Brad City: a human child kept stopping players in the city and asking them if they could marry him.

These players come from all races, genders, and ages; they are incredibly diverse.

Yi Shuihan, who was watching the live stream outside, was sweating profusely. He truly admired Sun Wukong's strong heart; if it were him, he would have collapsed long ago.

"If he fails, I'll compensate him later by giving him a piece of gold equipment to boost his combat power by a million."

The guilt he felt for bullying an honest person led Yi Shuihan to decide to make amends to Sun Wukong.

However, what made Yi Shuihan feel that fate had a certain inertia was that Sun Wukong actually found his wife in the game.

"Hello, will you marry me?"

Sun Wukong's target this time is a little girl.

"Okay, I'm Qiqi, and I'll be your wife from now on."

"Wife, what is that? Are you going to marry me or not?"

"After we get married, I will be your wife."

"Oh, I see! So that means you're willing to marry me. That's wonderful! I've finally found someone who's willing to marry me."

Sun Wukong happily picked up the girl who called herself Qiqi, making the little girl's face blush.

This girl named Qiqi is also familiar to everyone; she is the same Qiqi from the original story, the daughter of the Bull Demon King.

"So, I actually did a great thing by getting Sun Wukong and his wife to establish their relationship so early, which will definitely lead to a harmonious family in the future."

To conceal his true intention of watching the drama unfold, Yi Shuihan quickly instructed the Ancient World to make changes and launch the marriage function. Fortunately, Yi Shuihan had considered this function before but hadn't brought it out, otherwise it really wouldn't have been possible to get it done so quickly.

Rose petals began to fall throughout the entire ancient world, and then an announcement that shook the entire game rang out.

"Ding! The first newlywed couple in the Ancient World has been born. They are Sun Wukong and Chi-Chi. The system sends them its best wishes."

"Ding! The marriage function is now available. After marriage, a buff mode will be activated. If the game couple is together in real life, they will receive more combat power. Please ask the system wizard for specific marriage requirements."

The main motivation for everyone to enter this ancient world is not because it is the first virtual reality game in this world, or because it is fun. Whether the game is well-made or not is secondary. The main thing is that the combat power of the game characters can be enhanced in reality. As long as this is the case, even if the game is poorly made, countless people will still be willing to play it.

Now that the marriage feature is available and can even boost combat power, all the players have gone crazy. They immediately went to find out how the marriage feature works and started all sorts of matchmaking attempts.

"I am Ruhua, a KS98 member, 18 years old this year, and as beautiful as a flower. I am now seeking a husband, KS98 members only, first come first served."

"Looking for a wife to play games with. I'm level 53, I'll carry you and make you look cool."

"Become my wife, and I'll give you the Dragon-Slaying Sword with a click! What are you waiting for?"

"I've discovered that same-sex marriage is possible. Looking for a hunky guy. I'm a handsome young man."

"Looking for lesbians? I'm an expert in all kinds of instruments, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Exaggerated messages were flying around the world chat, and suddenly the whole game seemed to be going wrong.

Yi Shuihan, upon learning about the game's scenario, couldn't help but smile wryly. He had never expected the marriage feature to turn out like this. Now, no one was focused on leveling up or fighting monsters; everyone was looking for a partner. A perfectly good traditional leveling-up and monster-fighting online game had been completely transformed.

After staying on the island for several more days and witnessing Sun Wukong and Chi-Chi's engagement ceremony, Yi Shuihan finally departed.

Several months later, on this day, in a wilderness outside the western capital of Earth, a strange machine suddenly appeared in a place that was originally empty, bearing the logo of Capsule Corporation.

A young man with purple hair jumped out of the machine and turned it into a capsule.

"Is this the Earth from before? I wonder if Uncle Sun Wukong is really as powerful as Mom says, and if Dad is as cold on the outside but warm on the inside as Mom says."

The purple-haired youth muttered to himself. This person was none other than Trunks from the future timeline in the original work, and that magical machine was the time traveler.

Chapter 961, A World Completely Changed

Trunks' arrival in this world at this point in time clearly indicates a change in circumstances. Originally, he should have arrived in this world a few years after Goku grew up and defeated Frieza, but now he's arrived far too early.

"Something seems off."

After sensing the surrounding energy, Trunks looked astonished, because he found that there were too many energies around him that he could not ignore, and some of them even made him feel dangerous. Of course, if he were to become a Super Saiyan, these dangers would be negligible.

"What's going on? Could this not actually be Earth?"

Trunks couldn't help but think this way, after all, no matter how much Earth had changed, it couldn't be that the life force of ordinary people was a hundred times stronger than in his time and space.

The discovery that time travel had gone wrong darkened Trunks's face. He had come to this timeline with a mission, but the time machine couldn't support him traveling multiple times. If it was just a mistake in the location, that would be fine, but if even the timing was wrong, then the future Earth would truly have no way to survive.

His initial hope instantly turned to despair. Trunks' expression changed constantly as white flames ignited around his body, and he flew towards the nearest human settlement he sensed. He still clung to the hope that the timeline had been moved up, giving him enough time to reach Earth before that event occurred.

A few minutes later, Trunks arrived at a small town. The first thing he saw was a scene very different from what he remembered. A group of creatures that looked exactly like humans and even spoke the same language were flying freely in the air. Most of them were wearing martial arts uniforms.

In addition, they mostly talked about martial arts and a game called the Ancient World.

"I heard you broke through to the 7th level yesterday, and your combat power is now over 700. That's impressive!"

"No, no, you're not. Although you're only on the 6th floor, your game level is 2 levels higher than mine. With the boosts from your game characters, we're about the same."

"The game recently added a marriage mode, have you chosen someone yet?"

"..."

True Martial Arts, Martial Ancestor, Ancient World, Virtual Reality—some of these can enhance the power of characters in games into reality. One message after another gathered in Trunks' mind, leaving his brain blank.

"Excuse me, is this Earth? And what year is it?"

Trunks stopped an elderly man whose complexion was better than that of a 20-year-old and asked him.

"Child, have you gone crazy from playing games? You need to be moderate! Games may give us power, but they can't evolve our bodies. Listen to me, play fewer games and practice True Martial Arts more."

The old man didn't answer Trunks' question; instead, he spoke earnestly.

After saying that, the old man patted Trunks on the shoulder, then soared into the sky and disappeared.

After a long while, Trunks finally came to his senses, gave a wry smile, found another person, and asked the same question again. This time, however, he relaxed his demeanor slightly, and the other person answered his question respectfully.

"This really is Earth? It can't be real!"

The reality was so shocking that Trunks stood there stunned for a long time, unable to accept such earth-shattering changes to the Earth.

"It will be many years before androids appear. Given the development of this Earth, we might be able to suppress them directly!"

Trunks envied Earth's current development. Compared to their original timeline, the people of Earth here were far more fortunate, and all of this was thanks to the Martial Ancestor Yi Shuihan.

"It's unbelievable that my mother has a combat power of over a thousand."

A news segment was broadcast on a television station, reporting that Bulma, the heiress of the Capsule Corporation, had successfully broken through to the Basic Perfection level. The broadcast also included a short video of Bulma testing her combat abilities.

"Who exactly is Yi Shuihan, and this Zhenwu is so amazing."

The more Trunks learned about the current state of Earth, the more shocked he became, and the more he wondered why there were so many changes when he had traveled through time to the past Earth.

"What should we do now? Go find Uncle Wukong? Or go find Mom?"

Trunks came to save Goku and tell him about the Androids, hoping to change the fate of Earth. However, Goku was still just a child at the time, and with Earth undergoing such significant changes, Trunks wasn't sure if the Androids would ever reappear.

With such a strong martial arts atmosphere on Earth and such wondrous things as the Ancient World, would Dr. Groo still create artificial humans? Anyone with a modicum of sense should spend their time cultivating True Martial Arts or exploring the Ancient World.

"Ding! The cosmic-level game Ancient World invites you to join. Would you like to enter the game?"

Trunks has been on Earth for some time now, and the game notification sounded at just the right moment.

After a moment of surprise, Trunks found a suitable spot and chose to enter the game.

In the ancient world, Trunks witnessed the vastness of the universe and the struggle for supremacy among various species. Having truly experienced the ancient world, Trunks was completely captivated by it. If it weren't for his mission, he wouldn't want to return to his original timeline.
