Yun Family

The Yun Family was a major family in Jing City. Although it could not be counted among the top tier, it was still well-known among the second tier.

The Gu Family that had previously formed a marriage alliance with the Yun Family—the family Gu Shian belonged to—held a slightly higher status than the Yun Family.

The two families had cooperated for more than ten years, but their relationship had deteriorated over the past two years. As a result, Yun Xi had been sent to marry into the Gu Family.

Later, Gu Shian sold off all the shares and properties he owned. With no more commercial value, Yun Xi's biological parents ordered her to cancel the engagement as soon as possible.

The Yun Family's structure was very simple. Its head was Yun Xi's grandfather, Yun Gu. He had only two children: his eldest son, Yun Xi's father, Yun Hai, and his second daughter, Yun Xi's aunt, Yun Mei.

Yun Hai had only one biological daughter, Yun Xi. Yun Linlin was his adopted daughter, the fake heiress.

When Yun Mei was young, she did not marry out. Instead, she chose to take in a matrilocal husband. They had a son named Yun Li, who was seventeen years old this year and currently in high school.

Her husband had died several years ago, so only she and her son Yun Li were present.

From Yun Xi's own memories, it could be learned that Yun Hai and Yun Mei did not have a good relationship. They almost never ate at the same table.

Aside from the reason of competing for the family fortune, they were also half-siblings who shared a father but had different mothers. Their relationship had been stiff since childhood.

The fact that they had gathered together now showed just how important the news about the Godfall Continent was.

"Xi, you're back. Come sit here. Your grandfather wants to ask you something." Liu Yue'e called out to Yun Xi.

It was not mealtime yet, but the entire family had already gathered around the sofa.

As Yun Xi approached, everyone's gaze swept over to her one after another.

Grandfather Yun Gu wore a solemn expression, his face as calm as ever when he looked at Yun Xi.

Yun Xi's biological parents appeared gentle on the surface but were cold inside.

Yun Linlin, meanwhile, watched her with interest and waved. "Xi, you're here."

Yun Xi and Yun Linlin were the same age and had the same birthday, so no one had stipulated who was the elder sister and who was the younger. They addressed each other by name.

As for Yun Mei, because the two families were on bad terms, she was not familiar with Yun Xi at all. She merely nodded faintly when Yun Xi arrived.

Yun Li, on the other hand, stood up and called out, "Xi, sis."

Yun Xi nodded at him.

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Aunt..." After greeting each elder in turn, Yun Xi walked straight over and sat beside Liu Yue'e.

Seeing this, Yun Gu began asking, "Xi, your mother said that you discovered the unusual nature of the Godfall Continent game earlier?"

"Yes..." Yun Xi repeated the explanation she had given the official personnel.

"So you've already logged in? And confirmed that it is a real world?" A grave look flashed through Yun Gu's eyes.

"That's right. Moreover, the things inside really can be brought out." As she spoke, Yun Xi took a Copper Coin she had prepared in advance from her pocket.

Liu Yue'e took it and looked it over before handing it to Yun Gu.

Yun Gu examined it carefully.

The Copper Coin felt and looked extremely ordinary. The only unusual thing was the highly complicated writing engraved on it. It was not any language found on Blue Star.

"I saw related information online before, but I thought it was fake." Yun Mei sat upright and elegantly, though her voice was somewhat shrill.

"Xi, I'm so jealous of you. I was at school when the game opened, and I didn't have any time to play on my phone. What a pity." Yun Li usually liked playing games as well, so he naturally felt regretful about missing it.

"Ah, I didn't get to play either. I'm jealous of you, Xi." Yun Linlin sounded somewhat resentful from the side.

"Xi, is this game really like the legends say? Does it have quest rewards as powerful as the Resurrection Talisman?"

"Yes. The reward for my Main Quest Two was a Low-level Resurrection Talisman and one hundred Copper Coins."

Yun Xi also explained that the Low-level Resurrection Talisman could only revive players below Level 10.

"So it works even when used by ordinary people?" Yun Hai asked from the side.

"It should, but I can't say for certain. No one has verified it yet." Yun Xi answered each question one by one.

"The most important information known at present is that this game is extremely dangerous." Yun Xi briefly explained the announcement in the official players' group.

Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Yun Xi had revealed nearly all of this without holding anything back. After all, these things could be learned with just a little investigation, so there was no need to conceal them.

"My suggestion is that when the game opens again, everyone should register an account and log in to try the main quest. However, you should avoid going out to fight monsters."

Yun Xi's advice was sincere, and everyone could not help nodding slightly. It was more or less the same as the information they had gathered earlier.

"The game itself is secondary. More importantly, will reality change because of it?" Yun Gu let out a soft sigh.

"Grandpa, I think you shouldn't worry about what happens in reality yet. The cultivators of the Godfall Continent might be able to extend their lifespans, right? Xi, am I right?" Yun Li asked expectantly.

Yun Xi was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"The Village Chief of the Novice Village I was in was a young-looking sorcerer. As far as I know, he is already the grandfather of four children."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Ordinary supernatural power and supernatural power capable of extending one's lifespan had completely different implications.

Yun Gu was already nearly eighty years old. What did someone his age care about most? Nothing more than the life that was about to reach its end.

If the experts of the Godfall Continent could extend their lifespans, perhaps he could do it too?

Yun Gu's hand tightened slightly around his cane.

Liu Yue'e and Yun Mei cared about this just as much. They were both over forty, and their appearances were no longer youthful. No woman disliked beauty. If cultivation could restore their youth...

Everyone present had different thoughts.

In the end, it was the head of the family, Yun Gu, who spoke.

"Then we'll follow Xi's advice. Once the game opens again, we'll all register and log in, but we must act cautiously."

"Dad, what about our industries in reality?"

"Put them aside for now. Nothing will happen if we don't go to work for a few days."

"But the problem is that many employees have resigned recently," Yun Mei said hesitantly.

Yun Xi...

No wonder they had suddenly realized that something was wrong. It turned out that the employees at their company, like the students at their schools, had been making a fuss about resigning—or taking a leave of absence.

"If the company's affairs can be suspended, then suspend them. We can give the employees who are clamoring to resign some time off first. If that still doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do."

At present, it was not only their company. Other organizations had also had part of their operations disrupted by the appearance of the Godfall Continent.

The higher-ups had not made their intentions clear either. They could only take things one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Yun Gu looked at Yun Xi again. "Xi, would it be convenient for you to tell us about your detailed experiences in the game? We can use them as a reference later."

Yun Xi pondered. Aside from the matters of her rebirth and the treasury, there was nothing she could not talk about. As for the techniques she had learned, she could also attribute them to the Village Chief.
