I Really Transmigrated...

The clamor surrounding the "School Beauty's sudden death" incident gradually died down.

But Li Yao's mood remained abysmal.

That School Beauty was his closest friend; they had grown up together and were thick as thieves. Although her looks earned her the title of "School Beauty" among their peers, she was actually a tomboy at heart—the kind who could tie her hair back and dominate on the basketball court, and she was quite skilled at it, too! She had good grades and possessed a way of treating others that felt like a breath of fresh air.

She should have spent four glorious years in university, stepped out into the world, and embraced a beautiful, fulfilling life.

But all of that came to an abrupt halt in the face of death.

Death...

Li Yao clutched his head, feeling for the first time the agony of a vibrant life extinguished before his eyes. The sheer brutality of beauty being silently shattered by reality was suffocating.

So this is what they call a tragedy.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and a message appeared on the screen.

Lin Xiaowei: "Li Yao? Are you there? Come out quickly!"

Li Yao's already foul mood instantly exploded.

He picked up his phone and replied with a dark gaze: "This is the account of my late friend. Hacking into it... isn't that a bit low? Take my advice..."

Lin Xiaowei: "I really am dead..."

Why don't you say you ascended to immortality while you're at it?

He stared with dead fish eyes and replied: "If you keep this up, I'm calling the police."

Not that he knew if the police even handled this sort of thing.

Lin Xiaowei: "The police wouldn't handle this, would they?"

Heh, you've got some nerve!

He was already preparing to ask a senior from the computer science department to track the other party's IP, hunt them down, and bestow upon them some "loving" justice.

Then, the other party said: "You are Li Yao, I am Lin Xiaowei. We've known each other since we were kids. We live in the Jinyang Residential Area; you're at Building 8, 301, and I'm at Building 6, 202. I also have a younger sister. Do you want me to recite my old ID number and phone number to you?"

Li Yao was stunned.

Are scammers this capable nowadays?

Have they investigated the background information that thoroughly? Or did that idiot Lin Xiaowei leave all this info in her QQ Account? So, he replied: "Go ahead and recite it then."

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

Negative emotion from Lin Xiaowei +666...

Lin Xiaowei: "That big flower vase that broke at your house two years ago? That was actually me, not your dog A Hua."

Li Yao: Did that idiot Lin Xiaowei even write this down in her QQ Account?

So I took that beating for nothing back then? A Hua was a white-whiskered Garfield cat their family kept. When things broke, his parents couldn't bear to take it out on the cat, so they gave Li Yao a sound thrashing, with the excuse: "Who told you not to watch A Hua? You rebellious child!"

At the time, Li Yao had been full of question marks—what the hell did that have to do with him? He never expected the real culprit to be Lin Xiaowei!

The distraction of this revelation made his already sour mood feel somewhat complicated.

Li Yao was immersed in his complex emotions, but the other party wasn't happy: "Who are you calling an idiot! I'll kill you!"

She even mimicked her catchphrase perfectly.

Li Yao: "Listen, friend, you're really committed to this role."

Lin Xiaowei: "Why the hell won't you believe me! It's so frustrating!"

Only a fool would believe you, alright!

A person passes away, and then a QQ Account that had been gray for half a month pops up to tell me, "I'm Lin Xiaowei, I transmigrated..." What's next? Are you going to say you found treasure in another dimension but are short two hundred yuan for travel expenses, and you need me to wire it to you?

Can you even use RMB in another world? But just then, the other party sent a short video.

In the video, a girl who looked exactly like Lin Xiaowei said indignantly: "I really am Lin Xiaowei, you dog thing, do you believe me now! Sending short videos consumes a lot of energy, you know, damn it!"

Li Yao froze.

Surely there isn't anyone in this world who would go to the trouble of making a special-effects video just to scam someone? As for finding a twin to pull a prank... the cost would be way too high! And for what?

Li Yao's family didn't own a gold mine!

Li Yao watched the short video repeatedly. The Lin Xiaowei in the video... seemed even more beautiful, except her original black hair had turned dark gold, contrasting with her fair, moon-white skin to make her look even more striking. Her clothes were also strange—a linen robe with silver trim, embroidered with odd vine patterns on the collar and sleeves.

Li Yao was bewildered.

The worldview he had built over many years collapsed in front of the short video, shattering into pieces.

She really did transmigrate...

And she's contacting me via her QQ Account.

Li Yao stared up at the ceiling, feeling that everything was surreal. After a long while, he asked: "Dog, did you really transmigrate?"

Lin Xiaowei: "Really."

Li Yao: "How did you even transmigrate?"

Lin Xiaowei: "How the hell would I know..."

Li Yao: "Then can you ever come back?"

Lin Xiaowei: "...Come back and do what? You already said I was deceased; should I go back and play the zombie to scare people? Actually, that's not even the problem. Once I promote to Legend and can roam the myriad worlds, maybe I'll be able to find my way back."

Li Yao: "How long will that take?"

Lin Xiaowei: "Conservatively estimated, at least two hundred years."

Li Yao: "Trash. You've already transmigrated, for heaven's sake—you should at least have a protagonist template slapped on you, right? And it still takes two hundred years!" He quickly slipped into character, settling into his usual state of casual, aimless chatting.

Lin Xiaowei: "Go to hell, you Dog thing. Two hundred years is already damn impressive, okay!"

Li Yao: "Forget it, let's not talk about that. Haven't you contacted your family? Or are you afraid of scaring them?"

Even though Li Yao and Lin Xiaowei had a great relationship, she still had several close girlfriends. Had she not contacted them? Or was it that... women's friendships weren't reliable? Thinking of this, Li Yao felt a bit smug~ Lin Xiaowei: "I was afraid of scaring them too, but I couldn't help but reach out. Yet, the messages I sent out got no response; only you replied to me."

Li Yao: "..."

That's a bit heart-wrenching, Old Bro.

It felt like a beauty had sent him a love letter asking to meet on the sports field, but when he actually arrived, he discovered the entire field was full of classmates... Wait, no, it was more like arriving and the beauty telling you: "Oh my god, I sent love letters to so many people, I didn't expect only you to show up."

Even more heart-wrenching.

Li Yao rubbed his face, finally remembering the important business. This was a cross-world chat, for crying out loud; why were they just sitting here blowing hot air?

So, he hurriedly asked: "You reached out to me across worlds—is there something very important?"

The seedling is sprouting, please take good care of it, everyone. Many thanks~
