SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: The Merge
While he was thinking about the value of the spirit stones, the system responded with a message from the World’s Will.

[Host, I have talked with the World’s Will, and it says we can exchange for high-level stones.]

[So how much do you want to exchange?]

‘Can we also do middle-level stones?’ Xu Qianghua asked.

He planned to convert half of the low-level spirit stones into medium and high-level ones, so he would have all three types if needed.

He wasn’t desperate for high-level stones now, especially since more options would be available after the game merges.

But having more stones meant having more choices.

The system replied quickly.

[The World’s Will agrees. It mentioned that many high-level stones are reserved for mission rewards after the game merges.]

In the end, the 40 billion luminas amounted to about 8 billion low-level spirit stones.

Xu Qianghua decided to keep 4 billion as low-level stones, convert 2 billion into medium-level stones, and the remaining 2 billion into high-level stones.

He discussed his plan with Liu Meiying and Bai Lingyun, who would manage the family in his absence.

Keeping them in the loop was essential, as they were smart and knowledgeable enough to provide feedback when needed.

After making his decision, he immediately asked the system to send the amount to the World’s WIll so that they could get the required amount in the game.

He did not ask it to give it real life which it could do because the amount was so huge that it would fill up the whole island with bright crystal stones which he did not want to see.

A few seconds later, confirmation arrived. He smiled, knowing the resources and items he bought had already helped him and the ladies.

With nothing else to do but wait for the merge, time passed quickly.

Soon, it was 7:30 pm.

Xu Qianghua and his group were having fun while keeping an eye on the news.

More people were starting to play the game, but the main news was about the recent deaths of notorious people and some missing persons in the past few days.

At first, no one thought much of it, as similar cases were often reported to assure the public of their safety.

But the death of the Head of the Specter Syndicate surprised everyone.

This person, highly protected, was still killed, causing two different reactions from the public.

On one side, the general public celebrated, as they hated the Syndicate.

On the other, heads of various organizations worried they might be next.

This created a storm, with the general public wanting the person responsible to be honored, while the organization heads tried to rally public opinion to arrest the killer.

Meanwhile, the people responsible for the killings were in safe places worldwide, preparing for the merge and finalizing their work.

They had just finished with the last target, taking care of their subordinates and double-checking their chosen city.

All of the Shadow, along with the Shadow Guards, picked different cities surrounding the one Xu Qianghua and his group chose in the game.

They planned to take a few days to adapt to the new environment and their newfound strength before getting the Family Sign Token for communication.

They would also receive the necessary equipment and set off to different parts of the continent to gather intel and resources, including spirit stones.

Xu Qianghua and his group gathered in the living room, waiting for the merge.

He remembered the merge happened at midnight.

They all wanted to see how the entire operation worked, so they stayed up.

In his last life, they were asleep during the merge, but this time, they wouldn’t miss a single moment.

They wanted to witness how the World’s Will merged the planet with the game.

Xu Qianghua glanced around the room.

Liu Meiying and Bai Lingyun were chatting quietly, occasionally chuckling, this made him smile as he did not see any tension or nervousness in their faces which was a good sign.

This goes for the other ladies too as Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan were both still going through the items they had bought which made their eyes shine.

As for the maids, they are either lounging around or are on their terminals binging on some TV shows.

“Do you think everything will go smoothly?” Liu Meiying who had finished talking with Bai Lingyun came next to him and asked.

Although she did not show it, she was a little nervous as today is the last day they will see the planet like this because after today it will be a completely new world.

“I hope so,” Xu Qianghua replied, “but we need to be ready for anything.”

Xu Qianghua knew that everything would be alright but he could not be overconfident as there would be changes from his past life as he had changed the future in so many ways.

But what he did not know was that three people were so overpowered that even the Supreme Will would not make them mad.

So his worrying is unnecessary as if it is something that he could not handle, some people will take care of it without him knowing.

As the minutes ticked by, the room grew quieter.

Everyone’s attention was on the clock. Xu Qianghua could feel his heart beating faster.

As for if the time zones will be different in different parts of the world?
No, this is because of the structure of the whole world and even the void where all the time in the planet is the same with the sun and everything as they are not real but more of it being the power of the planet.

And each planet has a different type of sky as these stars do not exist as there are no stars nearby other than other plants which are too far away for humans to see.

This was the moment they had all been preparing for.

Finally, the clock struck midnight.

A soft hum filled the room, and the air seemed to vibrate. Xu Qianghua held his breath, watching as the merge began.

The ground began to shake, but what he could not see was that it was the ground shaking, it was the whole planet that was shaking.

And while that was happening, in the sky which was pitch black with only the stars and the moon illuminating.

But now instead the whole sky had a blinding light that made everyone who was still awake close their eyes.

Soon the intensity of the shaking increased and it was officially an earthquake but the radius was the whole planet.

Xu Qianghua and the rest of the group came out to see how the whole situation was and what else was left before they all came to the new world.

And they did not need to wait long as the blinding light soon converged and turned into a small white ball with a smooth surface.

At first, Xu Qianghua and his group were confused as to what it was, but before they could think much, the sound of fighter jets could be heard in the air.

The was a response from an air base nearby which took light to see what this ball was and see if it was dangerous or not.

This made Xu Qianghua frown as he knew that this was something that was created by the World’s Will and human technology cannot destroy the ball even if we use all the available arsenal.
