Ending the event early means announcing the results earlier.
In any case, his popularity should not be lower than that of Liu Yang Jumper.
I should be number one.
That's enough for securing the Plunder of Karmic Luck. If I see Liu Yang again, I'll just knock him out and Capture, then he can leave this world.
Although he hadn't had enough fun in this world yet, he couldn't neglect his important business.
Moreover, Ling Yi knew very well that he should minimize his interactions with other beings from other worlds.
Otherwise, if emotional entanglements arise, you'll only end up feeling uncomfortable yourself.
For example, falling in love with someone, or treating someone as a brother, naturally brings pain when you part ways.
Ling Yi didn't want this kind of pain.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance from the storylines of other worlds.
Ling Yi's thinking is correct... but the reality is probably not that simple.
Ling Yi is a living, breathing person with feelings.
Sometimes, with certain things, with certain people, once you get the feeling, there's probably no stopping it.
Lian Chao and the other two saw the deserted island villa built by Ling Yi, they instantly felt satisfied.
After more than three days, we finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Finally, they had a satisfying meal, and the three of them were very content.
As for what oaths he had made before, Lian Chao had long forgotten them.
Don't ask. If you do, just say you never said it; you'll deny it to the death.
And just as Lian Chao analyzed.
At that moment, Lu Peng, the director of Big Z Satellite TV, was staring at the screens in the video conference with a flushed face.
"Ending early? If it ends early, how will the scores be calculated? How will the program be judged?"
"Our Great Z has spent so much manpower and resources, and it's all just going to go down the drain?"
Lu Peng no longer cares about the kind of people he's dealing with.
Even if one of them was a face known throughout the country, it was difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.
"All countries are demanding an early end to the typhoon, given its strength."
"We can't let them risk their lives to record the show, can we?"
"Which is more important, life or the show?"
In one of the video clips, Big Shot spoke in a bureaucratic tone.
"That's hilarious. They're the ones who want to participate, and they're also the ones who say they won't. Don't they have any shame?"
Lu Peng's words were actually a veiled criticism.
Although he knew he couldn't change anything, he felt incredibly frustrated.
He felt he'd have to wash himself if he didn't give it a good sip.
"Alright, that's the mission, that's all."
Lu Peng seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He slammed his hand on the keyboard, abruptly ending the video call with the Big Shot.
Why is the Karmic Luck I'm receiving this time greater than what I received in the Journey to the West World?
Ling Yi glanced at the crowd around him, then at Meng Ran, who was skipping and hopping like Ling Yi in front of him.
A newfound awareness has set in; next time, I can't just walk right through the crowd like that.
Thankfully, this time it's Parallel World in the real world.
In an ancient world, what if someone suddenly changed clothes in the blink of an eye and startled everyone around them?
Next time I travel through time, I'll have to find a secluded place.
These are all lessons learned; thankfully, nothing went wrong.
The semi-transparent screen of the Hunter System appeared before my eyes.
"Half of the Karmic Luck Plunder this time has already been integrated into this world."
" Liu Yang, the Jumper, has had his memories erased and his Karmic Luck recovered."
The Hunter has the following remaining Karmic Luck points to choose from.
"First, choose to retain the abilities the Hunter acquire in the target world."
"Since the amount of Karmic Luck is sufficient this time, we can consume one-tenth of the Karmic Luck and retain all our abilities."
"Secondly, the Hunter can consume 30% of their Karmic Luck, retaining their cheat ability. The Hunter must make a choice."
"Is Liu Yang's Sign-In System going to be another useless feature?"
"It can't be used in other worlds, right?" Ling Yi asked.
The text on the screen in front of me is changing.
"It can be activated in any world, but the Sign-In System will revert to normal."
Under normal circumstances, does that mean there's no 10x enhancement bonus?
Ling Yi was conflicted about whether or not to keep this cheat ability.
To be honest, Ling Yi doesn't really like this Sign-In System.
No matter how you look at it, Liu Yang's cheat ability, at most, only allows him to reach the Limit human potential.
Becoming a god or an immortal is probably impossible.
That Parallel World is primarily set against the backdrop of a life of seeking refuge on a deserted island and indulging in entertainment.
To be honest, this thing is a bit of a waste for him.
He wasn't in the entertainment industry, Ling Yi suddenly thought of another question.
He wondered to himself, "Can this cheat ability be transferred to other people?"
"Can!"
Upon seeing these two words, Ling Yi couldn't help but look at Meng Ran in front of him.
"Then keep it for now, but don't load it onto me. Set it aside for now."
"As for the abilities I gained in this world, they all seem quite useful, so I'll keep them."
"Should we consume 30% of our Karmic Luck to retain the cheat ability?"
"Whether!"
"Yes!"
"Would you like to consume 10% of your Karmic Luck to retain all your abilities?"
"Whether!"
"Yes!"
"Already reserved, the host has twenty-five strands of Karmic Luck remaining."
This was the first time Ling Yi had ever heard of the unit of calculation for Karmic Luck —strips of Karmic Luck?
Is Karmic Luck calculated in blocks?
If we look at it this way, he probably Plunder around sixty strands of Karmic Luck this time.
I don't know if this number is high or low, or how much it can actually help my world.
Based on this ratio, Ling Yi's Karmic Luck points in the last Journey to the West World were estimated to be around forty.
Does the amount of Karmic Luck seem to have nothing to do with any particular world?
That should be the case, but Ling Yi hasn't figured out the specific calculation method yet.
He was simply wondering why he had more Karmic Luck this time than last time.
What's the difference?
Before hunting Liu Yang for the last time, Ling Yi seemed to have done nothing different except leave the Mechanism Beast behind.
Could it be that the Mechanism Beast left behind will have some subsequent impact on that world, leading to an increase in the Karmic Luck of Plunder?
In other words, besides altering the plot to Plunder Karmic Luck...
Can a scheme that can alter the future course of the world also Plunder more of its Karmic Luck?
Where exactly does this Karmic Luck come from?
Based on Ling Yi's current understanding, Karmic Luck is probably not something unique to any one world.
Rather, it is energy shared by all the worlds.
Otherwise, why would the Journey to the West World be considered a higher world?
Instead, the Plunder Karmic Luck was still only around forty strands?
Ling Yi had a general idea in mind: the plan, the process, and the result... He had learned something.
The " Supreme Existence " has fallen into slumber; it no longer possesses sufficient power to sustain its own will.
Unless Ling Yi Capture all the Jumper, or Plunder enough Karmic Luck.
But there's no clear target for what that number should be...
Well, let's just take it one step at a time.
Although Ling Yi planned to give the cheat ability to Meng Ran, now was not the right time.
Or rather, his relationship with Meng Ran hadn't reached that stage yet.
Ling Yi has feelings for Meng Ran.
Especially after these past few days of contact, the more they get to know each other, the clearer Ling Yi's thoughts become.
But he had no idea how Meng Ran felt about him.
After all, they've only known each other for a very short time. Talking about love at first sight is just nonsense.
In addition, Ling Yi himself had absolutely no experience in dating.
He's completely clueless about this; his current state is...
I dare not ask, dare not think, dare not speak... Should I just let nature take its course?
That's probably the only way.
"These fried cakes are delicious! The red bean paste filling is so sweet. Ling Yi, you should try some, they're really good!"
Meng Ran's cheeks were bulging from eating, and she handed a piece of fried cake to Ling Yi.
"It's delicious." Ling Yi nodded.
In reality, even with his culinary skills, he genuinely felt that the fried cake tasted terribly bad.
The heat was too high, the bean paste was leftover from the previous day, and the ginger wasn't mixed evenly. In short, Ling Yi felt very uncomfortable eating it.
"Right? Hehe!" Meng Ran ate with great satisfaction.
But fried cakes are very filling.
Even if Meng Ran has a big appetite, she'll be full after a few fried cakes.
According to Ling Yi's plan, the two of them would find a hotel to rest at noon tonight.
We left the town in the afternoon and continued eastward.
With Meng Ran by my side, I believe the days ahead will be quite interesting.
That day, Meng Ran received a call from Liu Hong; she was trending on social media.
When Meng Ran and Ling Yi were out having fun, they were accidentally photographed. Meng Ran's fans were in an uproar, and with some people stirring up trouble, things got out of control.
Ling Yi remained silent. He didn't know how to comfort Meng Ran, or advise her to leave the entertainment industry.
Ling Yi wouldn't be that selfish.
Moreover, this incident will likely have a significant impact on Meng Ran.
Even if things calm down, losing followers is inevitable.
"Let me sing a song," Ling Yi suddenly said.
"You can sing?" Meng Ran wiped away her tears and smelled the air with curiosity.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but slowly began to sing a cappella.
"A chance encounter, in the rainy season; a love that arose inexplicably; a longing that arose in our eyes; through the seasons; a longing that arose inexplicably; every night..."
This is a very classic song from the previous time-travel story.
In the previous world travel, almost all the stars remained Changes.
But the classic versions of each star have undergone tremendous changes.
This is equivalent to different worlds, the same people, giving birth to different classics.
"What's the name of this song? It's so good, I don't think I've ever heard it before," Meng Ran asked curiously.
"A new song, and it's called 'Inexplicable'?" Ling Yi replied.
"You wrote this?"
Ling Yi shook his head without explaining further, and then placed a USB drive in Meng Ran's hand.
"There are over three thousand songs here, all new ones. You should give them to Sister Hong."
Tell her to use these to get full company resources allocated to you.
"Oh!" Meng Ran's mind raced instantly.
But there was no doubt whatsoever.
Meng Ran didn't know when it started, but she had completely trusted Ling Yi.
"Besides the songs, there are over a thousand scripts, each one a classic."
"I've individually marked over a hundred scripts, and you must be the Protagonist."
"You should also make this clear to Liu Hong. As for the rest of the script, she can handle it as she sees fit."
"Whether you exchange them for resources or sell them casually."
"But you need to take half of the profits."
"There's a contract inside. Have Liu Hong print it out, and you two sign it."
Meng Ran was overwhelmed with shock; she knew very well the value of a classic script.
More than a thousand classic scripts—what a treasure that is, if it's true.
Wouldn't that completely dominate the entire entertainment industry? Not to mention there are over three thousand songs.
She knew that Ling Yi was protecting her future career.
These scripts and songs could absolutely propel her career to unprecedented Pinnacle.
"I can't explain these things now, but you'll understand later."
"That's wonderful." Meng Ran suddenly smiled; Ling Yi's care for her touched her deeply.
The contents of this USB drive are only known to you and Liu Hong; no one else may know them.
"I've written down some points to note; I believe Liu Hong should be able to handle them well."
"Yes, Sister Hong is very capable."
The two talked and chatted, during which Ling Yi told Meng Ran a few stories from the script.
This dispelled any remaining doubts Meng Ran had.
She can naturally tell whether a script is good or bad.
At the airport, the two embraced in the lobby, waiting for their flight to arrive.
They cherished the time before their parting.
At 4:30 p. m., Meng Ran boarded the plane to leave.
In fact, the moment Meng Ran turned and entered the boarding gate...
Tears were already flowing uncontrollably, but she didn't turn back, because she dared not.
Ling Yi was also very sad. He didn't know when they would meet again after this separation.
As soon as Ling Yi stepped out of the departure hall, a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him.
