Holy Monarch watched Liuzi for a while, then smiled and said, "So that's how it is, love."
"It's not what you're thinking!"
"Alright, alright, I understand. Let's continue."
"You'd better really understand!"
In the time that followed, Liuzi spent his days painting and his nights in the gaming pod battling with Holy Monarch, continuously enhancing his gaming prowess.
The process was quite difficult because the gap between him and Holy Monarch was so huge that no matter how hard he tried, it seemed like the distance between them never shortened at all.
Moreover, after a period of learning, Liuzi was surprised to discover that in their first game, Holy Monarch had gone easy on him.
Once pointed out, Holy Monarch smiled reassuringly, "You've noticed, huh? It shows that you've actually made quite a bit of progress during this time."
"No, the difficulty you set is just too high!"
"Don't worry, keep learning and you will grow to reach my height."
