Zhao Hai disappeared after the first class ended.
I don't know if they asked for leave or simply skipped class.
When I got home from school in the afternoon, I happened to see Zhao Hai sitting by the flower bed in the community, looking at something on his phone.
The person Ling Yi was in was not only Zhao Hai's classmate, but also his neighbor.
Zhao Hai comes from a single-parent family and lives with his father, while Ling Yi's original parents disappeared suddenly two years ago.
To be precise, the father disappeared two years ago, and the mother disappeared a year ago.
He never came back. The police have been searching for him for more than half a year, but there is still no news about him.
It was as if it had vanished into thin air, leaving no Silk whatsoever.
The only piece of information is that the two disappeared at slightly similar times.
My father disappeared at the Yueyue two years ago, and my mother disappeared at the Yueyue one year ago.
The time they disappeared was always between midnight and 1 a. m.
My father disappeared into thin air at the construction site, while my mother disappeared into thin air at home.
Ling Yi's predecessor suffered from depression due to the shock of her parents' death and chose to jump off a building before Ling Yi transmigrated into her body. Afterwards, Ling Yi took over her body.
The disappearance of one's parents must be more than just a simple matter; it must conceal a great secret.
" Ling Yi!" Zhao Hai called out to Ling Yi upon seeing Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was taken aback. Was this guy waiting for him?
Once Ling Yi was close enough, Zhao Hai said, " Ling Yi, you're not dead?"
"What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean I'm not dead? Am I supposed to die?" Ling Yi rolled his eyes and said.
"But by now, you should already be dead." Zhao Hai seemed to find it very difficult to understand why Ling Yi was still alive.
Or rather, he wanted to know if Ling Yi, like him, was also a Revive individual.
"Are you crazy? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll beat you up." Ling Yi knew exactly what Zhao Hai meant, and at the same time, he was basically certain that Zhao Hai was a Revive person.
Only those who Revive know that Ling Yi should have been dead at this moment.
According to the original trajectory, Ling Yi's predecessor was indeed dead, and had been dead for seven days. He should be in the box by now.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse you, it's just..." Zhao Hai considered whether or not to tell the truth.
"You didn't fall asleep during the first class this afternoon and dreamt that I died, did you?"
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Ah, yes, yes, I dreamt that you died. No, not just that I dreamt that you died, but that I dreamt of many, many things."
After a pause, Zhao Hai sighed again, "If only it really was all a dream."
"What exactly did you dream about? How did I die in your dream?" Ling Yi asked curiously, sitting next to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai gave a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I told you."
"Then tell me about it, I'll treat it as a story."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Today is the end of the month. If I still have to go tomorrow... I'll tell you then."
"Tch, all mysterious. Even if you want to tell me, I can't be bothered to listen." Ling Yi waved his hand and turned to leave.
Zhao Hai opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Ling Yi and Zhao Hai weren't particularly close, but they were neighbors, so they were closer than with other classmates.
But we wouldn't call them friends.
The steel jungle of the city has made relationships between people very cold. Although the two families live in the same building, they hardly interact at all.
They only occasionally bumped into each other on their way to and from school, and because Zhao Hai was too introverted, they rarely exchanged more than a few words.
Back home, Ling Yi started preparing a meal.
The death of his parents left Ling Yi, who had no income, in dire financial straits.
What's more, this house is still under mortgage, and the monthly repayments are several thousand dollars.
The meager savings left by my parents were used to pay off the mortgage each month, barely enough to last until last month.
To make a living, Ling Yi works three hours a day at a restaurant after school.
The money I earn from part-time jobs is barely enough to cover my living expenses, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'm 100% unable to pay next month's mortgage.
The original owner of this body already suffered from depression after her parents' death, and with this added pressure, she couldn't think straight and jumped off the roof.
However, now that Ling Yi has taken over the body of his predecessor, these things are naturally a piece of cake for him.
Ling Yi casually ordered takeout, then sat cross-legged on the sofa, reading the novel set in this world while waiting for the plot to begin.
As time passed, and the hour was exactly midnight, a Power of Laws descended from the sky, instantly covering the entire world.
" The Law of Karmic Luck!" Ling Yi looked up at the sky and couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that the entity behind this must be a powerful being who has reached an extreme level of understanding of the laws.
Those who play the law are basically all Big Shot- tier beings, at the very least Human Grade below the Heavenly Dao level.
However, these were all things Ling Yi Ling Yi had already done before, so he didn't care and didn't bother to find out the identity of the person behind them.
He's not here to cause trouble; he's here to progress through the story.
Not only that, he also had to conceal his Aura to prevent the other party from Perception his presence.
If you scare the other person, then there's no fun left.
Ling Yi was very curious about what the other party was trying to do by using such a large-scale Law of Karmic Luck.
A moment later, Ling Yi felt a pulling force acting on him; this was the Power of Laws of space.
Ling Yi did not resist, and following the pulling force of the Law of Space, disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Ling Yi appeared in a room with white walls on all four sides.
At the same time, a piece of information appeared in Ling Yi's mind.
This is the Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena.
Every Earth month, one thousand Wisdom beings are randomly selected from each of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds worlds to enter the Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena.
Since it's Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena, it's definitely not for bringing people in for sightseeing.
All beings who enter the Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena have a unified title: Dou Zhe.
However, newcomers like Ling Yi are called prospective Dou Zhe.
If a prospective Dou Zhe can pass the first test, he/she will become a formal Dou Zhe. Once Dou Zhe, he/she will be required to participate in the Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena once a month.
Each Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena sets up three stages for Dou Zhe.
The first stage involves groups of 100 players competing in a special version of a battle royale game with unique abilities; only one person can emerge victorious.
Killing a player earns you one gold coin. Gold coins can be used in the Gold Coin Shop to purchase attributes, skills, equipment, and Resurrection Coin.
One Resurrection Coin equals one gold coin.
As long as you have Resurrection Coin, you will be sent back to your original world after being killed and eliminated, and all your memories related to the Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena will be erased.
Go back to being an ordinary person.
If you are killed without any Resurrection Coin, then you are truly dead, completely wiped out.
Players who pass the first level will automatically advance to the second level.
The entire Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena consists of three stages.
The information in his mind described the three levels in great detail, as if afraid that the Dou Zhe might not understand the rules.
"A chaotic battle Myriad Worlds, huh? Sounds kind of interesting."
"Let's activate a passive aura. With this kind of storyline, how can we succeed without cheating?"
Ling Yi sealed his own power and adjusted his body to the state of an ordinary person. After all, it's just for fun; how can he have fun if he doesn't seal his power?
After struggling through the list of auras for a long time, I finally chose an Infinite Passive Instant-Cast Aura.
The aura has two functions: one is that all skills have no cooldown time and can be cast instantly; the other is that it grants unlimited energy.
Infinite instant casts? If you don't have enough energy, how can you cast infinitely?
"Hmm, isn't this kind of halo a bit unethical? Oh well, I'll try to keep a low profile and just get by in the plot. Anyway, I have Zhao Hai, the Protagonist, to carry the load."
Compared to his previous state of sealed memories and sealed strength, Ling Yi Ling Yi seems much more laid-back, completely adopting a "just getting by" attitude.
At that moment, a line of text appeared on the wall in front of Ling Yi.
[The first stage of the semi-duelist Dou Zhe, " The Sole Victor," is currently matching...]
[Match successful! The first stage of the Duel Arena has officially begun. Good luck!]
As the second line of text appeared, Ling Yi felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment, he found himself in a huge square.
The plaza floor is composed of a relatively low-end energy crystal, and its surface shines like a mirror.
All around was a thick fog that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Above their heads, a 30-second countdown is displayed, flashing once every second.
The first challenge, " The Sole Victor," is specifically for newcomers, or prospective Dou Zhe.
The official Dou Zhe are already waiting in the second round.
In other words, for newcomers, successfully passing the first hurdle means facing veteran players in the second.
And among them are many veteran Dou Zhe have been through countless duels.
The difference in strength between them is enormous.
"Looks like I'll have to collect a lot of gold coins. This system is quite unfriendly to newcomers," Ling Yi realized.
Ling Yi, however, didn't care at all. Gold coins were irrelevant; he wasn't going to die anyway.
Even if he's eliminated, the people behind him can't kill him.
Hmm, wouldn't it be interesting if I participated in the first round as a newcomer every time, and was eliminated every time?
It's important to know that in the first stage, you only get one gold coin for killing other potential Dou Zhe. No matter how many gold coins the target had previously earned, they won't be dropped.
As for where the gold coins the killed player originally obtained went?
It was probably embezzled by the "administrator" or something.
But the second level is different; once you kill the target, all of their gold coins will drop.
Therefore, most Dou Zhe who feel they are not strong enough will exchange most of their gold coins for attributes, equipment, or Resurrection Coin after the second stage.
Ling Yi glanced at the newcomers around him; they were all in human form or humanoid form.
Among them are half-transformed Demonic Beast or Magical Beast, half-mechanical cyborgs, and pure cyborgs similar to Transformers.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai wasn't in this group; otherwise, facing the Protagonist Zhao Hai right at the start would have been a difficult choice, whether to kill him or not.
These newcomers did not communicate with each other and remained wary of one another.
It's a matter of life and death; once you're on the battlefield, everyone is an enemy, so there's no point in communicating at this point.
Everyone had the same thought: to at least kill one enemy, and after getting the gold coins, they exchanged them for a Resurrection Coin first.
Having Resurrection Coin means you'll be eliminated and return to a normal life. But without Resurrection Coin, death is truly death.
As the countdown ended, all the newlyweds disappeared simultaneously from the Quality Plaza.
