"My dear aunt, you mustn't touch this gun! Do you want to blow up this planet?"
Ling Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carefully put away the oddly shaped gun.
This is an armory, which Ling Yi tinkered with these past few days when he had nothing better to do.
The walls were adorned with various high-tech weapons redeemed from the Halo Shop.
Laser sniper rifle, light-guided hand cannon, laser sword, melon grenade, Dual Vector Foil striker... and the gun that Ling Yi just put away is called the Stellar Source Energy Gun.
It is one of the most powerful weapons among all high-tech weapons, as it uses space technology to compress a star as its energy source.
The gun's power is divided into nine levels, but even the highest level is enough to split this planet in half.
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Do you know what's in the magazine of this gun? A star."
"You just hang such a scary weapon on the wall like that?"
Seeing Ling Yi looking at her like she was an idiot, Yin Wanqing shrugged. "Fine, never mind, but you still have to give me the weapon."
"Are you sure you want to enter the game instance?" Ling Yi took an extremely small pistol from the wall and shoved it into Yin Wanqing's hand.
"Didn't you change my account status to 'dead account'? And now I have the Player System, I want to go there."
On FRIDAY, they had already analyzed part of the Data Wall's content and gained control over a portion of the Main System, including how to modify player account status.
Players must use an account to log in to game instances, but if the "account" dies in the Login World, the player can only switch to a different account.
Ling Yi asked him to try changing Yin Wanqing's account status to "dead" on FRIDAY, and to his surprise, it actually worked.
Ling Yi estimated that once the Data Wall appeared a few more times, and FRIDAY completely deciphered the Data Wall code, he would gain more control and perhaps even access the core of the Player System.
After that, the core of the Player Subsystem automatically merged into Yin Wanqing's body, making her an offline player.
Let's go!
Teleport halo appeared, and the two disappeared from the room, reappearing next to the Teleport Gate in Central Park.
Ye Tian had already arrived. Not only was Ye Tian there, but Ye Tian was also accompanied by another player, the Xiaoyao who had left last time.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?" Ling Yi asked, noticing their dark expressions.
The Xiaoyao looked at Ye Tian, frowned, and asked, "Didn't you say you were the only offline player in the world?"
Ye Tian looked at Ling Yi, thinking to himself, "You're asking me? How the hell would I know? I haven't seen Ling Yi for almost half a month, and we've only talked on the phone a few times. How was I supposed to know that Ling Yi had also become an offline player?"
Also, what's the story with Yin Wanqing? How did these two get together?
"Did I miss something?" Ye Tian asked.
"I'll explain that later. What I want to ask is, why did this Teleport Gate last for so long? A 24-hour countdown? Can you tell me what happened?"
Ling Yi looked at the Xiaoyao.
"The system issued a faction quest, and Xiaoyao and I were just talking about it," Ye Tian explained.
"What do you think?" Ling Yi, still looking at Xiaoyao.
"It's just a regular faction quest, but Ye Tian believes the system detected your anomalies, which is why they suddenly started a faction quest; it's very likely a deliberate targeting."
"Huh?" Ling Yi drawled out a sound and turned to look at Yin Wanqing.
"Top student, it's all up to you now."
Yin Wanqing looked directly at Xiaoyao, "Hello, could you tell me about the details of the faction quest?"
The Xiaoyao's eyes darted away.
"This game instance is a level 30 large instance. The so-called faction quests involve players choosing to join different factions and fighting against each other..."
"Which factions are involved?" Yin Wanqing interrupted Xiaoyao's speech and asked proactively.
This way of speaking is a skill; even if Yin Wanqing doesn't ask, Xiaoyao will still introduce the factions, but this allows Yin Wanqing to turn the tables and take the initiative.
I wonder where Yin Wanqing learned that from.
" Kakarot Faction, Frieza Faction, and the neutral faction."
"Is there a limit to the number of players who can participate in faction wars?" Yin Wanqing asked again.
"No!" Xiaoyao frowned. Yin Wanqing's voice was very gentle, but Xiaoyao felt a sense of pressure.
Are there any time restrictions for the event?
"No, the faction war will only end when all players from the other two factions are cleared from the instance, or when all the protected faction NPCs die."
"In faction wars, there should be no death penalty, right?"
"Each player has three Resurrection opportunities. Only after using all three opportunities and then dying again is it considered a true death. However, most players will voluntarily exit the game instance after using up their three Resurrection opportunities."
"Does the neutral faction have a separate faction option, or does not choosing a faction make you a neutral player?" Yin Wanqing asked again.
The Xiaoyao's gaze now held apprehension and... disgust. This woman made her feel very uncomfortable, or rather, this feeling of passivity made her very uncomfortable.
"There are options."
Is it possible for all players to choose one faction? In that case, how would the outcome of faction battles be determined? Or would the Player System automatically balance the number of players in each faction?
The Xiaoyao was silent for a few seconds before replying, "The system will perform a balance check."
However, as soon as Xiaoyao finished speaking, Yin Wanqing pulled out a small, pocket-sized pistol and aimed it at her.
"You..."
"Boom!"
A beam of blue light suddenly erupted, blasting the Xiaoyao's upper body off. Yin Wanqing was also thrown backward by the recoil of the pistol, and it wasn't until Ling Yi grabbed her shoulder and spun her around several times that the impact was dissipated.
"Holy crap!" Ye Tian was dumbfounded. He was watching with great interest when School Belle Yin pulled this stunt. It was too sudden.
Also, that gun was absolutely terrifying!
"You, how could you kill her?" Ye Tian asked, puzzled.
"Shall we go into the dungeon?" Yin Wanqing asked Ling Yi.
"Go for it! Such a good opportunity, why not go for it? But you were too quick!"
Yin Wanqing shrugged. "We're mortal enemies with the players. Anyway, even if a player dies, they're just reset to an ordinary person."
"But you can't just kill them like that," Ye Tian muttered in complaint.
"What, you've taken a fancy to this Xiaoyao?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
"How could that be? She did help me in the last game instance, after all."
"Have you ever considered that it was precisely because the Xiaoyao returned to the player world alive that the system became aware of our existence?" Ling Yi asked.
"This..."
" The Main System of the Player System doesn't have strong monitoring capabilities for Login World and game instances, but Xiaoyao is different. Once she returns to the player world, everything she experienced in our world will easily be monitored by the Main System."
Ye Tian suddenly realized, and said with a wry smile, "Then what do we do now?"
"Didn't I say, once we enter the dungeon, we just go for it."
"Brother, what the hell are you talking about? I fought tooth and nail in the last world to reach level 10, only level 10, brother."
Yin Wanqing rubbed her head and said to Ling Yi, "Let's go, this guy is even dumber than you."
"Just take that as a compliment."
Ling Yi shrugged and stepped into the Teleport Gate first. Yin Wanqing ignored Ye Tian and followed Ling Yi inside.
"What do you mean?" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him inside.
Three hours after Ling Yi and his group entered the game instance, tens of thousands of players converged from all directions towards the Teleport Gate...
Those that can fly, or have flight equipment, fly in the air; those that cannot fly run wildly on the ground.
These players, even the lowest level, are all above level 30.
Most of them were wearing the same standard equipment and were clearly divided into different factions.
Clearly, these players belong to large legions...
On Planet Namek, Ling Yi and his two companions found themselves in a small village by a lake.
The Namekians in the village were curious about Ling Yi and his two companions' sudden appearance, but they were only curious and did not show any aversion to Ling Yi presence.
The Player System has a built-in translation function; even in the single- Player System, this is a basic feature. Otherwise, the three of them would probably be completely lost.
" Namekian, Dragon Ball?" Ye Tian muttered.
Ling Yi glanced at him in surprise. This Protagonist was a transmigrator? This world didn't have these kinds of TV dramas.
"What was the first game instance you were transported to?" Ling Yi asked.
"The world of the Legend of the Condor Heroes... cough cough, that's what that Xiaoyao is called."
They're just time travelers; I've seen countless of them.
"Then guess what this world is called?"
"How would I know?" Ye Tian's eyes darted around guiltily.
"I guess this world is called Dragon Balls," Ling Yi chuckled.
Ye Tian was stunned, pointing at Ling Yi and stammering, "You, you..."
"Guess how I knew?"
"The same to you..."
"Stop. My situation is different from yours, and we're not from the same world. I don't want to explain the rest."
Ye Tian was utterly speechless. "What the hell are you talking about? Are you kidding me? Is this funny?"
"Top student, what do we do next?" Ling Yi asked Yin Wanqing habitually. For some reason, after witnessing this woman's terrifying analytical abilities, Ling Yi now instinctively wants to ask her whenever he encounters a problem.
This feeling of not having to use one's brain was incredibly comfortable for Ling Yi.
"You need to give me an explanation about the time traveler thing after we leave the instance," Yin Wanqing said.
"Good!"
"Now, we need to determine how much importance the Main System attaches to us, or in other words, what level of threat we pose to it."
"How can you be sure?" Ye Tian asked, only to be met with familiar gazes from Ling Yi and Yin Wanqing.
"What the hell..."
