Looking at the pile of crumbs on the coffee table, it resembled a heap of some kind of chocolate chip cookie.
Ling Yun and Jiang Yunzhi were dumbfounded.
Jiang Yunzhi pointed at Ling Yi, then at the pile of fragments, "You, you..."
"I got some opportunities, I..."
But Ling Yi was interrupted by Ling Yun, who said with a serious expression, "Don't say it out loud, and don't tell anyone about this, including us and your little girlfriend."
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. When did he get a girlfriend? But he didn't explain; explaining things like that was too troublesome.
"I understand." Ling Yi took a bite of her steamed bun and nodded.
"Then, what should we do with these fragments?" Jiang Yunzhi asked.
"This is for you!"
"No way!" Ling Yun and Jiang Yunzhi said almost in unison.
"The most important thing now is your strength. We've lost the will to fight; using it would be a waste," Ling Yun said.
"I don't need these things, and secrets can't be kept forever. I'm strong enough to protect myself in this world, but you..."
"Are you sure you don't need it?" Ling Yun frowned, looking at Ling Yi seriously.
Ling Yi nodded and said, "No need!"
"Then, why don't we save it, just in case?" Jiang Yunzhi suggested.
Ling Yi and Ling Yun shook their heads simultaneously.
"Staying here would be a disaster. My son is right; he sees further ahead than I do. Once he gets into the game, the secret won't be kept. What we need to do is not hold him back."
"Let's quit our jobs. We're not short of money right now. After we start using the fragments, we might need some time to adjust to the new power."
Since her son and husband had made their decision, Jiang Yunzhi naturally wouldn't object.
She collected the broken pieces before returning to the table to continue eating.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"My classmate probably needs to talk to me, so I'm going out for a bit."
"Is it that Li Hongming?" Jiang Yunzhi asked, her eyes lighting up.
"No, just a regular classmate."
Upon opening the door, Ye Fei was seen standing in the doorway.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, a murderous intent flashed in Ye Fei's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Ling Yi scoffed, and before he could speak, she closed the door and walked towards the stairs, saying without turning back, "Let's go, this isn't the place to talk."
"Okay!" Ye Fei responded and immediately followed.
Ling Yi led Ye Fei downstairs, then turned into an empty alley before stopping and looking at Ye Fei.
"The fragment has already been given away!"
"Tch, don't make that excuse. I don't believe you. Give me back the fragment, and I'll compensate you with other fragments later."
Believe it or not, you can't get the fragments back.
" Ling Yi, don't think you're invincible just because you have Health-Lock Cheat that allows you to stay invincible in the game. In the real world, you're still just an ordinary person."
"This is not something you can handle. Give it back to me, and from now on you are my friend, Ye Fei."
"Are you threatening me?" Ling Yi sneered.
You can think of it that way.
Ling Yi turned and walked out, waving his hand and muttering, "I don't want to leave this world so soon!"
Ye Fei frowned. He didn't understand what Ling Yi meant, nor did he want to. All he wanted now was to get the fragment back; nothing else mattered to him.
The Health-Lock Hack is the most important of all his cheats.
Just like the Flying Hack he used the first time, and the Aim-Lock Hack the second time, he still failed.
The first time he was killed by his own target, Big Superman, he was eliminated right in the air.
This time, he was Sneak Attack and shot in the head, not only getting eliminated but also having his body fragmented.
These two gaming experiences were so terrible that they helped Ye Fei regain some composure from his previously agitated state.
Only Health-Lock Hack that grants him invincibility can truly make him reckless in the game.
But unfortunately, Ling Yi broke his Health-Lock Hack, which made him lose his temper again and his mentality collapsed.
Damn it!
In his eyes, Ling Yi was nothing but trash, the kind of trash who should be easily crushed by him in the future. But Ling Yi's attitude drove him almost mad.
That was Ignore, utterly Ignore, and Ling Yi looked at him as if he were looking at a... fool.
"Heh, the Protagonist? Just a pawn." Ling Yi chuckled dismissively.
He had seen many Protagonist like this before, such as the one in Xiaoqian's world with the Reincarnation Hall.
The Protagonist, like Ye Fei now, is merely a pawn manipulated by some being or certain rules.
Ye Fei's cheat ability was not fully unlocked, or rather, it was completely sealed.
The Health-Lock Hack that Ling Yi revealed can actually be used in the real world.
However, Ye Fei, the Protagonist, cannot use this in reality.
This is quite intriguing.
Before Ling Yi could even get home, two more groups of people appeared at the entrance of the residential complex.
One of them is Li Hongming; that girl has come over again.
But at this moment, Li Hongming's appearance has changed drastically. Her braces have been removed, and her messy long hair has been transformed into short, jet-black hair.
She changed out of her oversized school uniform and into a short-sleeved shirt and slim-fit jeans, showing off her perfect figure.
This just-right plumpness is far more attractive than those who are as thin as a gust of wind.
She wore light makeup, looking cute, sweet, and radiant.
Even though Ling Yi many beautiful women, he was still stunned by Li Hongming at this moment.
Seeing Ling Yi's gaze fixed on her, and his slightly surprised expression, Li Hongming felt extremely smug.
"Aren't you amazed by my beauty?" Li Hongming asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Ling Yi answered truthfully.
Then he asked, "So?"
"Hmph, you blockhead! Don't you even understand the saying, 'A woman dresses up for the man she loves'?"
"Ahem, um, Teacher Wang, what brings you all here?" Ling Yi quickly coughed to change the subject and looked at the teachers behind him.
"Coward!" Li Hongming muttered, somewhat dissatisfied.
Teacher Wang is Ling Yi's homeroom teacher. The four teachers behind him are all tactical training instructors for the game "Eat-It-All".
" Ling Yi, Ling Yi, you really surprised us teachers," Teacher Wang said with a smile.
Ling Yi looked at Li Hongming, somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph, there was a game where Teacher Song and the others happened to be there," Li Hongming explained.
Ling Yi instantly understood their purpose.
"I'm sorry, I won't be applying to any universities!" Ling Yi stated his position directly.
Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher merely frowned, but the four technical instructors' faces clearly darkened.
" Ling Yi, you need to understand that the resources and curriculum at university are far superior to those at high school. Although you are very talented, you cannot be too arrogant. Moreover, university is not just about Glory."
"Only by going to university will you have a better chance of being valued by large corporations Image Enterprise Goose Enterprise, Wisdom Enterprise, and Rice Enterprise..."
The homeroom teacher patiently explained.
"I'm sorry, my situation is a bit special, and I don't need these things," Ling Yi explained briefly.
"Ha, short-sighted, ignorant of the immensity of the world. The outside world is far bigger than you imagine. What future do you have, holed up in this wretched place, Cloud Capital City? Are you going to be a factory worker your whole life like your parents?"
"That's what Teacher Song said dismissively."
Ling Yi's gaze turned slightly colder. What this person said was true, but he shouldn't look down on his "parents." However, he was still a teacher, so Ling Yi ignored him.
"This is my decision, teachers, please leave!" Ling Yi said, turning to leave.
Just then, a whoosh of wind came from behind him.
"Watch out, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms!" Li Hongming shouted a warning, then used the fragment skill she had just learned without thinking.
A Dragon's Roar's roar resounded, and two visible, semi-transparent dragon-shaped Qi Jin flew out from Li Hongming's palms, instantly striking Teacher Song, who had made the move.
This time, Li Hongming used all her strength in desperation, knowing that she had consumed a large number of attribute fragments.
Teacher Song was blasted sideways and flew out, spraying a large amount of blood in mid-air. All the bones in her body were shattered. She fell to the ground and rolled several times like a broken sack before falling silent.
Dead...
The group was shocked, and the other teachers also assumed defensive postures, staring at Li Hongming in extreme fear.
Ling Yi turned his head and glanced at Teacher Song, who was no longer recognizable as human, without much Changes in expression.
Instead, he looked at Li Hongming and smiled, "It seems you still have to get used to your own power."
"I... I... I killed someone?" Li Hongming said, her voice trembling with tears, her face full of confusion.
Ling Yi sighed and said helplessly, "Ugh, this is so troublesome. Author Gou, you win!"
After saying that, he snapped his the Snap, using the Law of Plot) to directly modify this part of the "plot".
Ling Yi really didn't want to use the Power of Laws of the Power of Laws, because once he did, it would mean that his points in this world would be greatly reduced.
This also means... he's not far from leaving.
Still in a state of panic, Li Hongming saw that the supposedly dead Teacher Song had vanished from the spot and reappeared unharmed beside the homeroom teacher. Then, seemingly forgetting what had just happened, the group turned and left with expressions of displeasure... left?
"What's going on?" Li Hongming asked, her eyes wide.
"Hmm, now that you know my secret, should I silence you?" Ling Yi asked, stroking his chin as he looked at her.
Li Hongming rolled her eyes and said provocatively, "Before silencing them, shouldn't you do something bad?"
Ling Yi raised his hands in surrender, "You're awesome."
"So, how did you do that just now?" Li Hongming asked, snapping her the Snap like Ling Yi.
"There are only two kinds of people who want to know my secret: the dead, and... the dead!"
Ling Yi almost said, "One type is our own people," but quickly realized that he had been influenced by the author again.
Where's the Reversal author I was promised? Why is this getting weirder and weirder? Is it because readers like this kind of plot, so the author keeps giving himself women in his life?
Li Hongming was unaware of Ling Yi's many thoughts, but the clever girl guessed that what Ling Yi meant by the second half of his sentence was definitely not that. She chuckled and made her move...
