Kyushu government.

With the appearance of the National Fate Marriage Game, every department was urgently summoned to discuss countermeasures.

First and foremost was ensuring that there would be no domestic unrest. After all, when such a surreal event descends, people’s minds stir and lawbreakers will inevitably seize the opportunity to create trouble.

“How is the situation in the country now?”

The Great Elder sat at the head seat, hands interlaced before him, his tone stern.

“Still stable.”

The head of the relevant department wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Although a few vicious incidents have occurred in some areas, they have already been brought under control and no major chaos has ensued.”

“That is good.”

The Great Elder’s expression relaxed slightly, “Has the young man’s information been found?”

“It has!”

The speaker was a man wearing glasses.

He picked up a file and read aloud, “Ning Yi, grew up in an orphanage, twenty-four years old, single, graduated from Hangzhou University two years ago, employed at an internet company before entering the National Fate Marriage Game.

During his school years, his grades were excellent, his character optimistic and after entering society he worked very hard. We also gathered evaluations from his classmates, teachers and colleagues, all quite positive.

Preliminary assessment shows no antisocial personality traits, unlikely to commit suicide.”

After finishing, he sat back down.

“A good young man.”

The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief and nodded lightly.

What he feared most was that the player representing Kyushu would turn out to be a lunatic seeking revenge on society.

After all, if the player chose suicide, his nation would face disaster.

“What about the other countries? What is their situation now?”

The Great Elder continued to ask.

The moment the live broadcast screen appeared, he immediately established a department to closely monitor the situation of players from other nations.

“Among the other countries, two also began with Marriage Rooms, namely Sakura Country and America.”

The department head quickly stood to report, “Including us, Kyushu, that makes three in total.”

Just as he finished speaking, a man staggered in from the doorway.

Holding a notebook in his hands, he said with some panic, “Great Elder, everyone, our player did not choose to open the Marriage Room, but intends to enter the white door!”

At these words, most people’s faces changed instantly.

“Oh?”

The Great Elder, however, remained calm. After pondering for a moment, his face revealed a hint of thought, “Could it be… because of the fifth hint?”

In fact, he had already noticed—why would the player regret something so entirely beneficial?

There was only one reason: the marriage partner behind the door might not conform to normal human aesthetics, perhaps even being some grotesque monster.

And if an ordinary person encountered such a situation and could not bear it mentally… the outcome was obvious.

“The fifth hint?”

Those present were reminded and quickly understood.

“I see, this Random Room, though dangerous, also brings opportunity. Ning Yi wants to first gain the ability to change his mind’? But if he encounters a monster…”

“Enough, stop talking. For now, all we can do is trust him!”

The Great Elder chuckled, waving his hand to interrupt, “Honestly, to remain calm and think rationally under such circumstances, not blinded by desire, I am very optimistic that he can create a miracle!”

At these words everyone fell silent.

Indeed, all they could do now was believe in Ning Yi.

Meanwhile, on the internet.

“Damn, why is this idiot opening the white door? If I had known, I would have left earlier!”

“Is it still possible to immigrate now?”

“Too late, I just called the relevant department. They said the number of applications is too high and not being accepted at the moment.”

“I regret it so much, if it weren’t for planning to make one last profit before leaving, I would already be a Sakura citizen now!”

“Shit…”

“This bastard Kyushu guy!”

These people seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Kyushu’s forums instantly became a mess.

“Although I don’t understand why this guy didn’t enter the Marriage Room, you scum are even more disgusting!”

“Exactly, disaster hasn’t even struck yet and you’re already jumping. If you don’t want to be Kyushu citizens, why didn’t you leave earlier?”

“For money of course, there’s never a shortage of people who curse the hand that feeds them!”

“Animals!”

The two sides began a direct quarrel.

The tension was explosive.

Naturally, this drew the attention of foreign netizens, who watched with amusement.

Most of them were Kyushu-born people who had immigrated to Sakura Country before the National Fate Marriage Game appeared.

At first, these so-called false countrymen felt uneasy seeing that both Kyushu and Sakura Country started with Marriage Rooms.

But now, upon discovering that the Kyushu player was ‘foolishly’ courting death, they felt sheer delight.

Their words were filled with ridicule:

“This feels great, leaving was the right choice!”

“I can already foresee Kyushu suffering disasters, while Sakura Country reaps rewards.”

“You’d better sit tight and watch us soar! Long live Sakura Country!”

“If you call me a traitor now, all I can say is, ‘Yeah yeah yeah!’ After all, I fear death and I don’t want to be killed by some idiot.”

Kyushu citizens wanted to retort.

But finding themselves short of words, they fell behind in the argument.

At that moment, in the broadcast, Ning Yi was already opening the white door.

Kyushu citizens had no time to bother with those people anymore, all clenching their fists and silently praying that there would not be a monster behind the door.

* * *

Ning Yi naturally knew nothing of this.

He came to the white door and unhesitatingly opened it.

What entered his sight was a wasteland slightly larger than the initial room, the ground consisting only of stones and sand, surrounded by tall white walls, also inlaid with doors.

But what most caught Ning Yi’s eye was a bronze-colored chest at the center.

Moving closer, words appeared:

[Bronze Chest: Contains a decent building card.]

[Chest Grades: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Star.]

‘The lowest grade chest?’

Ning Yi blinked, but was not disappointed.

Having something was good enough, no reason to be picky.

Clack!

With a dim flash of light, the chest opened.

What appeared before him was a finely crafted card glowing with bronze light.

[Name: Warm Stone House]

[Type: Building Card]

[Grade: C]

[Feature: Warm Fireplace (Greatly improves the residents’ mood)]

[Usage: After summoning ‘Home,’ hold the card and silently think ‘Cover’!]

This was the information visible to all players.

But Ning Yi had an additional cheat prompt:

[This is a proper home, not only shielding you from cold nights, but also improving your wife’s mood. A better mood means she’ll be willing to unlock more positions.]

“Hm?”

Ning Yi glanced at ‘more positions’ before focusing on the words ‘cold nights.’

So… this game has nights?

And the temperature difference between day and night is huge?

He looked up at the sun above, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

In that case, this Warm Stone House was truly a ‘necessity!’

Ning Yi’s mood lifted instantly!

Without hesitation, he summoned the wooden hut again.

Then, following the card’s instructions, he silently thought ‘Cover!’

In the next instant,

Rumble!

The hut was instantly dismantled by a mysterious force.

Countless stones flew in, quickly stacking into a brand-new stone house.

This house was much larger than before, a full sixty square meters.

The surrounding soil area also expanded, resembling connected small fields.

Opening the door of the stone house, he stepped inside.

Ning Yi’s eyes widened in surprise.

Compared to the shabby hut, the stone house was a luxurious villa.

The most eye-catching feature was a massive stone fireplace, striking in its grandeur.

There was a kitchen, toilet and bathroom, all complete. The bedroom was also very spacious, fully furnished.

Most importantly…

Thump!

He jumped onto the bed.

Softness greeted him.

Yes, it was a bed with a mattress and blankets, soft and warm!

Whereas the previous wooden hut… well, calling it a bed was generous, just a plank of wood with no blankets.

If the nights were truly cold, it would have been impossible to sleep.

“Comfortable—”

He stretched lazily, a satisfied look on his face.

Now, all he needed was a hostess!
