The Yun family is a prominent family in Jingdu. While not in the top tier, they are certainly a notable presence in the second tier.
The Gu family, with whom the Yun family had a previous marriage alliance, and specifically Gu Shian's family, held a slightly higher status than the Yun family.
The two families had cooperated for over ten years, but their relationship had declined in the last two years. Because of this, Yun Xi was sent to marry into the Gu family.
Later, Gu Shian sold all the shares and assets he held, rendering him commercially valueless. Yun Xi's biological parents then ordered her to break off the engagement as soon as possible.
The Yun family's demographic structure is quite simple. The head of the Yun family is Yun Xi's grandfather, Yun Gu. He has only two children: his eldest son is Yun Xi's father, Yun Hai, and his second child is Yun Xi's paternal aunt, Yun Mei.
Yun Hai has only one biological daughter, Yun Xi. Yun Linlin is an adopted daughter, the fake heiress.
Yun Mei did not marry out when she was young. Instead, she took in a live-in son-in-law. They have one son, Yun Li, who is 17 years old and currently in high school.
Her husband passed away several years ago, so only she and her son Yun Li are present.
From Yun Xi's 'own' memories, it's known that Yun Hai and Yun Mei do not have a good relationship and rarely eat at the same table.
Besides the dispute over property, they are also half-siblings from the same father, and their relationship has been strained since childhood.
That they are all gathered here today shows how important the news about the 'Godfall Continent' is.
"Xixi, you're back. Come sit. Your grandfather wants to ask you something," Liu Yue'e called out to Yun Xi.
It wasn't mealtime yet, and the whole family was gathered on the sofa.
As Yun Xi approached, everyone's gaze swept over her.
Grandfather Yun Gu's expression was serious, but his gaze towards Yun Xi was as calm as ever.
Yun Xi's biological parents appeared gentle on the surface but were cold at heart.
Yun Linlin watched her with great interest and waved, "Xixi, you're here."
Yun Xi and Yun Linlin were born on the same day, so there was no designated elder or younger sister; they addressed each other by name.
As for Yun Mei, due to the strained relationship between the families, she was not familiar with Yun Xi at all. Seeing Yun Xi arrive, she merely nodded faintly.
Yun Li, however, stood up and called out to her, "Sister Xixi."
Yun Xi nodded at him.
"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Aunt..." After greeting the elders one by one, Yun Xi walked directly to Liu Yue'e and sat down beside her.
Seeing this, Yun Gu began to ask, "Little Xi, your mother mentioned that you previously discovered something unusual about the game 'Godfall Continent'?"
"Yes..." Yun Xi repeated the explanation she had given to the official personnel.
"So, you've already logged in? And confirmed that it's a real world?" Yun Gu's eyes flashed with seriousness.
"That's right, and things from inside can indeed be brought out." As she spoke, Yun Xi took out a copper coin she had prepared earlier from her pocket.
Liu Yue'e took it to look, then handed it to Yun Gu.
Yun Gu examined it carefully.
The copper coin felt and looked very ordinary. The only difference was the complex script engraved on it, which was not any language from Blue Star.
"I saw similar information online before and thought it was fake," Yun Mei said, her posture upright and elegant, though her voice was a bit sharp.
"Sister Xixi, I really envy you. When the game first launched, I was at school and didn't have time to use my phone. What a shame," Yun Li, who also enjoyed playing games, expressed his regret at missing out.
"Sigh, I didn't either. I envy you, Xixi," Yun Linlin added with a hint of melancholy.
"Xixi, is this game really like the legends say, with quest rewards like Resurrection Talismans?"
"Yes, the reward for my second main quest was a Low-level Resurrection Talisman and 100 Copper Coins."
Along with that, Yun Xi also explained that the Low-level Resurrection Talisman could only revive players below level 10.
"So, ordinary people would also benefit from using it?" Yun Hai asked from the side.
"Probably, but it's not 100% certain, as no one has verified it," Yun Xi replied one by one.
"The most important piece of information known so far is that this game is very dangerous," Yun Xi briefly recounted the announcement from the official player group.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into thought.
Yun Xi shared this information with almost no reservations, as it was easily discoverable with a little inquiry, so there was no need to hide it.
"My suggestion is that when the game opens again, it's best for everyone to register an account and log in to try the main quests. However, it's best not to go out fighting monsters."
Yun Xi's suggestion was very sincere, and everyone nodded slightly, as it aligned with the information they had gathered previously.
"The issue with the game is secondary. More importantly, will reality change because of this?" Yun Gu sighed softly.
"Grandpa, I don't think you should worry about reality yet. Those cultivators in the Godfall Continent might be able to increase lifespan! Sister Xixi, am I right?" Yun Li asked with some anticipation.
Yun Xi was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
The village chief in the beginner village where I am is a sorcerer who looks young, and as far as I know, he's already a grandfather to four children.
Everyone present was astonished.
Ordinary supernatural powers and supernatural powers that could increase lifespan held entirely different significance.
Yun Gu was nearing eighty. At his age, what would he care about the most? It would undoubtedly be his own life, which was nearing its end.
If the powerhouses in the Godfall Continent could increase lifespan, perhaps he could too?
Yun Gu's hand, gripping the cane, tightened slightly.
Liu Yue'e and Yun Mei were equally concerned. They were both over forty, their youthful looks fading. No woman doesn't care about beauty, and if cultivation could restore youth...
Everyone present had their own thoughts.
Finally, it was Yun Gu, the head of the family, who spoke.
"Then let's follow Xi Xi's suggestion. Once the game reopens, we'll all register and log in, but we must proceed with caution."
"Dad, what about our businesses in reality?"
"Let's put them aside for now. A few days without work won't cause any major issues."
"But the problem is, many employees have resigned recently," Yun Mei said hesitantly.
Yun Xi...
No wonder they suddenly realized something was wrong. It turned out that the company's employees, just like their school students, were resigning (taking leave of absence).
"If the company's affairs can be paused, let's pause them. We can give the resigning employees a temporary leave. If it's really unavoidable, then there's nothing we can do."
At this moment, it wasn't just their company. Other collective units had also experienced disruptions in order due to the emergence of the Godfall Continent.
The directives from above were also unclear, so they could only take things one step at a time.
With this thought, Yun Gu looked at Yun Xi again. "Xi Xi, would it be convenient to share your detailed experiences in the game? It could serve as a reference for us later."
Yun Xi pondered. Apart from the resurrection and the treasure vault, there wasn't much she couldn't talk about. As for the sorcery she was learning, she could attribute it to the village chief.
