Back in his room, Ling Yi murmured, "Thanks, author Gou, this time."
Although Ling Yi knew that he was deceiving himself, his longing for family, as an orphan in his previous life, had almost become Obsession.
Those who haven't had this experience can hardly understand Ling Yi's feelings.
Just be myself this once!
Ling Yi sat down at the Computer, turned Computer on, and prepared to grind for skill proficiency.
The real-world eating games have achieved almost 100% replication.
Therefore, a skilled gamer in the real world remains a skilled player even when they enter that mysterious e-sports room.
Looking at the familiar game interface, Ling Yi rubbed his hands together and entered the game's training room.
"System, please give me a notification every time your skill proficiency advances to a new level."
The system didn't respond, but Ling Yi was used to it; he knew the system would do as he said.
When playing action games, the first thing you naturally need to practice is your shooting skills.
Since the training ground had an unlimited supply of ammunition, Ling Yi casually picked up a rifle and fired at the target.
Close range, long range, iron sights, red dot sight, scope...
The training that night was incredibly fruitful; Ling Yi received three notifications from the system.
"Ding! Rifle skill upgraded, currently at normal!"
"Ding! Rifle skill has been upgraded; currently at the beginner level!"
"Ding! Rifle skill has been upgraded to Proficiency!"
Ling Yi didn't practice with any other weapons; he spent the entire night practicing with various rifles, because rifles were the most commonly used weapons in the game.
It's better to be a master of one thing than a jack of all Proficiency; let's start by practicing with a rifle!
Ling Yi stretched and yawned, feeling a sense of exhaustion and hunger that he hadn't experienced in a long time, and even felt a little nostalgic.
The official login time for the game is 9:00 AM.
It's 4:30 in the morning, I can still rest for a while and recharge.
When Ling Yi woke up, it was already past eight in the morning.
If the door hadn't been banged on so loudly, Ling Yi might have actually fallen asleep.
Seeing Ling Yi's sleepy appearance, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
He really wanted to say, "If you don't have the talent, then forget it."
To stand out in the game, you either need incredible luck to get rare fragments, or you need to be able to snatch them up.
Either they're technically skilled and can farm in-game currency quickly, obtaining fragments from treasure chests.
Alternatively, you could hire a pro gamer to carry you, but pro gamers are incredibly expensive in this world; how could an ordinary person Hire one?
But either way, it's too difficult for ordinary people.
If there's no risk in the game, then just grind it out. Even if it only costs 1 game coin each time, as long as you play a lot, you can open treasure chests and get fragments.
You can be killed, but there's a chance you'll get a Life Fragment. If you keep losing, how many times can you play?
"Time's almost up, let's eat something first." Ling Yun ultimately didn't say anything more.
You can log in to the game from anywhere without having to go anywhere else, which saves a lot of trouble.
Time quickly reached nine o'clock, and as the countdown ended, Ling Yi's figure disappeared from the living room.
"Do you think... our son can get good grades?" Jiang Yunzhi asked with some worry.
"I don't care about my son's grades. I just hope he can come back safe and sound. Each loss of life is at least a year. How many years does one have in a lifetime?"
"It's a pity that lifespan fragments are too expensive; a year's worth costs thirty million. If only I could buy a few lifespan fragments for my son to store up..."
Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh, "What a pipe dream you're having! Why don't you just say you're buying your son S Grade ability fragments?"
Jiang Yunzhi rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think it's possible that our son might be incredibly lucky and bring back a fragment?"
Ling Yun patted her forehead. "Go buy groceries. You're always thinking about good things."
Inside the gaming room, Ling Yi sat in a gaming chair, curiously looking around.
Computer, case, mouse, keyboard, Bluetooth headset—nothing much to say about these.
The walls, floor, and ceiling, however, were of indistinguishable material, appearing as a deep blue cesium with what seemed to be a shimmering halo.
What flows within this is the Power of Laws.
Ling Yi, having traversed over a hundred chapters of laws, naturally possessed an extremely keen Perception of the Power of Laws.
However, Ling Yi was not interested in the laws governing it.
Unless it's Laws Beyond the Boundary or Law of Illusion and Reality, it's basically useless against Ling Yi in his current state.
If the system encounters Laws Beyond the Boundary or Law of Illusion and Reality, Ling Yi has also set up automatic reminders.
Ling Yi shifted his attention to the game.
After a careful inspection, it was found to be almost identical to the Chicken-Dinner Battlefield that Ling Yi was familiar with in his previous life.
The only three problems are...
The name is the player's real name, which is already bound when logging into the esports room and cannot be changed.
The second thing that can't be changed is the game character. The game character is a completely smaller version of Ling Yi, both in terms of clothing and appearance, and will always look the same as the current Ling Yi.
In other words, there is absolutely no possibility of hiding one's identity in this game.
The third issue is that the e-sports room only Chicken-Dinner Battlefield and no training room. This doesn't affect Ling Yi much, but it's very unfriendly to some players who don't even know what Computer is.
These players Central City bewildered when they log into the esports room.
There are no tutorials, no training grounds, and people don't even know what the mouse and keyboard are for. Aren't people going to starve to death in this gaming room?
Since it's the first time logging into the esports room, you have to complete a game before you can log out.
This is a bug, it completely lacks fairness.
But none of this applies to Ling Yi. Speaking of bugs, how many bugs did that cunning author leave behind?
Ling Yi checked the settings again, changed the mouse sensitivity and button positions to his preferred parameters, and switched the team mode to single-player mode. He then prepared to click "Auto Match" to enter the game.
At that moment, a familiar name popped up from the bottom right corner of the screen.
This is a team invitation; the person inviting him to join a team is named Ye Fei.
Ling Yi retrieved information about Ye Fei from his memories.
Growing up in an orphanage, he was withdrawn and had almost no friends. In Ling Yi's memory, he had never spoken to anyone, not even his teachers.
It is said that his parents were adventurers who went on an expedition to the Beisa Desert when he was three years old and never returned.
Ye Fei studies very hard, almost frighteningly so, and his theoretical grades are excellent, but his gaming skills are terrible, he's the kind of person who has absolutely no talent.
Something seems off!
Ling Yi stroked his chin, watching the team formation countdown slowly come to an end.
My mind involuntarily drifted back to what had happened the day before.
To be precise, it refers to the original owner's experiences.
At that time, Ye Fei seemed to be possessed by something, and he was alone in the grove, frantically hammering at trees until his hands were covered in blood.
Ling Yi happened to be passing by and saw this scene. After all, they were classmates. Ling Yi was curious and went over to ask a few questions, saying some comforting words, such as that there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome and that everything will be alright.
Then he handed Ye Fei a pack of tissues from his pocket, telling him to use it to wipe the blood.
The entire process took no more than three minutes, and Ye Fei kept his head down the whole time.
Just as Ling Yi was about to leave, this guy suddenly blurted out, "Today is your Luck day. From now on, you're my only brother, Ye Fei's only brother."
At the time, Ling Yi didn't pay much attention to these words, but now Ling Yi noticed something was amiss.
This way of speaking is completely different from his usual behavior, as if he were not the same person.
"Not alone?"
"Could this guy be the Protagonist of this world? The setup is too similar. Did I just reject the Protagonist's invitation?"
Just then, Ye Fei sent another team invitation.
Ling Yi made a very decisive and direct choice... to refuse!
Just kidding, haven't I seen enough Protagonist already? Who isn't a Protagonist at some point?
Judging from Ye Fei's tone that day, tsk tsk, it was as if becoming his friend was some great honor.
Whether this guy is a crooked-mouthed Dragon King automatically loses his intelligence, or a cunning villain carrying the Protagonist's logo, that has nothing to do with Ling Yi.
Ling Yi clicked the "Auto Match" button and waited for the game to start.
As an intelligent Protagonist, you need to learn to play it safe in the early stages. Once you have enough strength, you can deal with both the Protagonist and villains of this world one by one.
Ling Yi guessed correctly. Ye Fei really was the Protagonist, his Soul Transmigration to this Parallel World, and replaced Ye Fei's soul in this world.
When Ling Yi met Ye Fei that day, Ye Fei had only been in this world for less than half a day.
When I went to the restroom after the first class, I ran into Zhao Dahai, who had all the hallmarks of a villain. The outcome is self-evident.
When the villain and the Protagonist meet, they're bound to dislike each other.
Upon seeing Ye Fei, Zhao Dahai casually muttered "trash" twice.
As the Protagonist, Ye Fei couldn't stand this, and directly said, " Thirty Years East of the River, thirty years west of the river."
Then Zhao Dahai and a few scoundrels gave him a thorough humiliation in the bathroom with a combination of "diving" and "pressing down."
This is why Ye Fei ran to the grove a day earlier to furiously pound on trees in frustration.
"I wanted to take you flying with me, but you refused! You're ungrateful! You all look down on me, don't you? You'll all regret it sooner or later!"
Ye Fei also chose to play solo, but in a solo squad mode.
Would someone lacking confidence dare to make this choice?
As the Protagonist, Ye Fei naturally has a cheat code, and Ye Fei's cheat code is a game cheat.
Aim-Lock Hack, Health-Lock Hack, speed cheat, Luffy cheat...
It's important to know that there are no official game officials in this game, and reports within the game will go unanswered.
He could use cheat codes Wuji.
Of course, Ye Fei is just starting out, and he can only randomly get one game cheat per game. In this game, the cheat he got was... the Flying Hack!
However, Ling Yi is destined not to see Ye Fei's godlike performance in the game, since the two are matched in different modes this time.
Ling Yi and Ye Fei share a common advantage: they are better able to identify which player is the most valuable than the other players in this world.
This world is devoid of those well-known works; even if players in this world encounter the Son Goku, they wouldn't recognize him.
Ling Yi and Ye Fei are different...
For example, when Ye Fei entered the Quality Plaza, he saw a player whose clothes had an "S" logo sprayed on them.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, also saw a player in the Quality Plaza who was wearing a Daoist robe, holding a wooden sword, and had thick eyebrows and a square face.
Although they weren't in the same game, their expressions were surprisingly similar... they'd struck it rich.
