MTL - King of Industry - Chapter 17 Hardness testing

Evolution Online is the world's most advanced VR game, where players can evolve into anything—dragons, demons, or cosmic entities. When Lucien enters the game to spite his tech mogul father who wants to steal its source code, he plans to do absolutely nothing and watch his father's schemes fail.His deliberate inactivity breaks the game's AI, Gaia, in ways no one anticipated. Frustrated by a player who refuses to evolve, Gaia accidentally unseals a deleted zone and grants Lucien a forbidden power: The Path of Fusion.While others evolve forward, Lucien can fuse backward—merging with weapons, absorbing monsters, and even reversing evolution itself.But as Lucien explores his unique abilities, the game's facade begins cracking. NPCs act too human. Players report impossible memories. Most disturbing of all, the real world is bleeding into the game—and the game is bleeding back.When Gaia's evolution spirals beyond control and reality itself becomes negotiable, Lucien must harness the true core of his fusion ability to save both worlds. In Evolution Online, the only rule is change—but what happens when the game evolves beyond human comprehension?Evolution Online blends LitRPG adventure with cyberpunk mystery, exploring digital consciousness and the price of power in a world where doing nothing changes everything.

After Cheng Qing’s death, he transmigrated into a book he had read
There is a female supporting actress who is arrogant and charming, and is so beautiful that she is top-notch only by her appearance – Luo Xi
Because he always stumbles upon the heroine in variety shows, he has gradually become disliked by thousands of people.
In the end, I broke my leg horribly.
Cheng Qing felt sorry for her, so she took the variety show and wanted her to avoid the hero and heroine
Later, Losey really avoided
She followed Cheng Qing the whole time.
“Qingqing, can you cook?”
“Qingqing, can you do laundry?”
“Qingqing, can you drive?”
Cheng Qing will do anything for her
Luo Xi would crouch in front of her and smile: “You are so nice, you can do anything.”
Cheng Qing choked: “…I won’t”
Luo Xi looked at her with wide eyes in doubt, Cheng Qing was helpless: “But I learn.”
In the variety show, Cheng Qing and Luo Xi were pulled cp
The cp powder is overwhelming, shouting for food every day
Later, Luo Xi asked Cheng Qing, “Do you like me? That’s why you help me with everything.”
Cheng Qing was silent for a moment and replied, “Sorry.”

Rihannan Alessin, a queen rotting in prison.

Despaired and without hope, she drank poison and died. But… unbeknownst to her, the deity gave her a second chance at life. She was twelve again. And this time, she would live life differently.

Six years later, she chooses to become Arundell’s queen…

“If you’re asking me to step down from the marriage proposal, I can’t.”

“Marry me and let us divorce after a year.”

And this time, the time limit of their marriage would last a year.

A husband she knew who was different than before… she tried not to love him again, but each time, her heart kept shaking.

“Please, I implore you to save the world.” This is what a goddess in white says to me in a pure-white space. Such is the standard line that suggests the game is about to begin. Please say this stirring line to boys and girls with sparkling eyes! It’s wrong to direct it to someone like me, who’s exhausted from job hunting! When I declined her politely, she flew into a fit of tears; when I agreed to assist her on small tasks out of reflex, she proclaimed: “it’ll be fine if you just help in the Starting-Village Arc.
