"So, the invasion of the Mafa Continent wasn't your doing? You only detected the Mafa Continent appearing in the Mortal Realm, which is why you planned to open the Teleport channel Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm?"
"Yes, boss!" Heavenly Soldier replied respectfully.
However, the Heavenly Soldier was in a rather sorry state at this moment, as his silver armor had already been put on Ling Yi.
He himself was left with only a thin shirt.
According to the Heavenly Soldier's own introduction, his name is Gao Song, and he is a Immortal Realm Boundary Soldier who is specifically responsible for opening and maintaining Teleport Gate.
As for their Life Steal ability, it's something that comes with their equipment.
This armor is called the Boundary Soldier Divine Armor, and even in the Immortal Realm, it is a top-tier item.
The Immortal Realm is many times larger than the Mortal Realm, and it is divided into four domains, each with a domain lord.
This Gao Song was a Boundary Soldier under the command of the Lord of the Southern Region of the Immortal Realm.
Currently, only the lord of the Southern Region of the Immortal Realm knows about the changes that have occurred in the Mortal Realm; the lords of the other regions are unaware of this matter.
As for why the Southern Region Domain Lord would be interested in the Mafa Continent, Gao Song and the other Boundary Soldier had no idea.
"Is the cost of opening the Teleport Gate very high?" Ling Yi asked again.
"Yes, it's enormous, almost equivalent to the resource consumption of an entire region over nearly a thousand years."
"With such a commotion, won't the lords of the other three domains notice?"
"They should have discovered it by now, but I don't know the specifics. I don't know much about this. Although I am Boundary Soldier, I am merely a puppet slave of the domain lord."
"If the boss hadn't intervened and broken the domain lord's life-and-death Contract, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape it even until his death."
It seems this domain lord isn't a good person after all!
When I become stronger, I'll defeat this boss.
"Boss, do we need to destroy the Teleport Gate?" Gao Song asked.
Although Gao Song now takes Ling Yi as his master, his self-awareness has not been affected. This subordination Contract is something that even Gao Song himself is unaware of.
This is a gradual Changes, with everything revolving around Ling Yi 'Ling Yi thoughts and interests.
"No!"
Why did you close the Teleport Gate? This is an advanced Map! If you close it, where will we find advanced Map later?
Ling Feng and the other two Protagonist have already Sweep the Mafa Continent. Without advanced Map, their strength would be basically stuck, just like Ling Yi's before.
And this Map the Immortal Realm appeared at just the right time.
As for the Immortal Realm going to the Mortal Realm to cause trouble? Ling Yi said he would welcome them wholeheartedly.
There are two reasons. First, there is the suppression of power. Once a person from the Immortal Realm appears in the Mortal Realm, their level will be suppressed to level 60, and their attributes will drop significantly.
Secondly, Ling Feng and his group are no weaklings now.
Besides that, Ling Yi is going to cause trouble in the Immortal Realm.
For the next few months, aside from occasionally returning to the Mortal Realm, Ling Yi spent his time in a Demonic Beast Mountain Range, grinding monsters relentlessly.
As for Gao Song, Ling Yi arranged for him to go back as an undercover agent so that Ling Yi would know immediately if the Southern Region Domain Lord made any moves.
As for whether his undercover identity would be discovered, or whether Gao Song would die, Ling Yi didn't care at all.
This Gao Song is no good either, he keeps calling people ants. If Ling Yi hadn't wanted to learn about the Immortal Realm, he would have already given him experience points.
It has to be said that the experience points in high-level Map are really high. Even ordinary Demonic Beast can give you tens of millions of experience points. Ling Yi has already leveled up 5 times in this period, reaching level 65.
Not only did his attributes increase significantly, but his equipment was also upgraded, especially the two high-level skill books, which made Ling Yi's enthusiasm for monster hunting even higher than ever before.
A skill book is called "Clone Technique," Mage- exclusive skill. At level 1, it creates one Clone; at level 2, it creates two Clone...
The maximum level is still 6, which allows you to create 6 Clone, Clone with the same strength as the original.
Another skill book is called "One Kill in Ten Steps," which is a warrior's Deathblow skill. It uses one's own Qi and Blood and magic to condense terrifying Sword Qi, resulting in explosive attack power.
That day, Ling Yi, who was grinding monsters, suddenly sensed three familiar Aura Rapid Speed approaching.
A few minutes later, three figures appeared in front of Ling Yi.
These are the three main Protagonist in this novel: Ling Feng, Wu Shuang, and Jin Kun.
"Damn it, how did you three find us? Is everything alright on the Mafa Continent?"
"The official main force has already officially entered the Mafa Continent, and there's no need for the three of us anymore," Jin Kun said casually, carrying a huge Dragon-Slaying Saber.
Ling Feng and Wushuang nodded in agreement.
"You bastard, you quietly go to high-level Map to grind monsters and loot equipment, that's really not fair!"
Ling Feng almost drooled when he saw Ling Yi's eyes wide open as he watched Ling Yi kill a Demonic Beast and loot all the equipment on the ground.
Ling Yi chuckled, about to say something, when the "ding" in his mind rang again.
"Ding, the current world's storyline has ended. You will be forced to exit in ten seconds."
"10, 9, 8..."
"Holy crap!" Ling Yi exclaimed, his anger exploding instantly.
But no matter how furious he was, he couldn't stop the countdown in his mind.
He only had time to say half a sentence to Ling Feng and the others, "Help me protect them..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yi had vanished.
As Ling Yi left, the world seemed to freeze, as if a pause button had been pressed, leaving Ling Feng and the other two frozen in place with bewildered expressions.
Ling Yi felt a wave of dizziness, and when he came to his senses, he was already home.
Looking at the room, both strange and familiar, Ling Yi shook his head and muttered, "Was I forcibly kicked offline?"
"Ding, this time travel is complete. Settlement is in progress. Please select your reward from the following options."
"I. Choose one skill from the three hero classes in Marfa (the skill list can be expanded)!"
"II. Please choose one of the following two options: Level / Equipment!"
Having grown accustomed to Dali, Ling Yi could clearly feel himself becoming somewhat weak.
In other words, he has now returned to being an ordinary person. He tried to silently recite the name of the mir system interface, and sure enough, the interface was gone.
In other words, his cheat system was actually this booming "ding" system, a system with no name and no interface?
"Can I have them all?" Ling Yi asked tentatively.
"Ding, please complete options one and two."
Although the system's voice remained cold, Ling Yi's eyes visibly lit up upon hearing these words.
He understood what the system meant; he could choose either option one or two, but he would have to choose again between the two options.
Which skills should I choose? If it were in a game, I'd definitely choose skills with explosive attack power.
In the real world, however, it's best to choose survival skills.
The Clone Technique? No way. If you're not strong enough, creating multiple Clone won't help.
Holy Armor Technique, Ghost Shield, Demon Binding Spell, Magic Shield... Ling Yi finally Light Lock on Teleportation.
Spatial skills are generally more valuable, and the key is that if you can't win a fight, you can escape.
But Ling Yi really wanted it all.
In the first option, Ling Yi chose the Teleportation Technique; in the second option, Ling Yi chose the level.
It wasn't that Ling Yi didn't want to choose equipment, but rather that all the equipment in Mira required reaching a certain level to wear.
So even if Ling Yi chose the equipment, it wouldn't make a difference.
By selecting a level, you can retain the corresponding attribute bonuses.
A level 65 person should be significantly stronger than an average person.
After the selection was completed, the system dinged again.
"Ding! Option confirmed, reward being distributed!"
His previously weak body was once again filled with immense power, and his mind was filled with explanations about Teleportation skills.
"This skill seems different from the one in the game."
In the game, skills can be cast instantly without any gestures, but in reality, Ling Yi has to place his left hand on his forehead and silently recite the skill to activate it.
Although it is still instantaneous, it has an additional starting stance. For the specific movements, you can refer to Son Goku's Instant Transmission starting stance in Dragon Balls.
Another thing is... there's still no system panel.
I checked the time: February 11, 2023, 9:25 AM.
Having spent seven years in his own novel's world, Ling Yi had forgotten the exact time when he transmigrated.
However, the time span in the real world should not be too large.
Since the phone on the table still had power, it meant that the real-world time could not exceed six hours.
His crappy phone, even if it's not used at all, only lasts for six hours on standby.
I looked through some chat history on my phone. The most recent chat was a transfer record that Old Wang sent me at 9:06 this morning.
Old Wang, whose full name is Wang Chengjun, is Ling Yi's partner.
The two started collaborating three years ago to create a logistics app, a data logistics service system specifically for villages and towns.
Ling Yi studied computer science, so this can be considered a technology-based investment; the company's app was written by Ling Yi.
Wang Chengjun is wealthy and has a vast network of connections.
Three years ago, the logistics industry was booming, and Wang Chengjun was very optimistic about it. Ling Yi also had some ideas about logistics, so the two hit it off and started a company together.
Although there were some setbacks in the early stages, the company has developed quite well over the past three years, and now it earns millions in net profit every year.
Now, the logistics platform built by Ling Yi and his team is no longer just a logistics module; it is also a comprehensive service platform that includes multiple modules such as food delivery, errand running, ride-hailing, media, live streaming, and short videos.
However, as the platform's traffic and profits grew, Old Wang began to have other ideas.
Old Wang's desire to reclaim the 10% stake held by Ling Yi has a somewhat ungrateful tone, like kicking someone when they've served their purpose.
The two had a very unpleasant argument over this.
In order to force Ling Yi to voluntarily relinquish his shares, Ling Yi has been Deprivation of most of his management rights in the company, and even his access to the app's backend has been altered.
The backend is now managed by Old Wang's brother-in-law, a good-for-nothing who graduated from a junior college but didn't even pass the Level 2 Computer exam.
Although Ling Yi was annoyed and very unhappy, he ultimately decided to sell his shares.
This kind of scheming and backstabbing is exhausting for Ling Yi, and because of the two of them, the company's normal operations have been affected. Continuing like this will not benefit anyone.
The key point is that Ling Yi couldn't outsmart Old Wang.
