Ling Yi stopped in his tracks. As the line of text in front of him slowly disappeared, the first thought in Ling Yi's mind was: a cheat system.
"Why did you stop?" Meng Yanyi she saw Ling Yi stop.
"No, I just suddenly thought of something." Ling Yi bent down and picked up another handful of pebbles.
This piqued Meng Yanyi's curiosity. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw Ling Yi start throwing pebbles out one by one.
Watching the pebbles fly one by one into the distance, Meng Yanyi Dao Comprehension, "Aren't you just stirring up trouble, testing the waters?"
Ling Yi paused for a moment, then gave her a thumbs up.
"Hehe, see how smart I am?" Meng Yanyi smiled smugly after receiving Ling Yi's praise.
To be honest, Ling Yi felt very uncomfortable with that smile.
If it were someone familiar, Meng Yanyi's behavior would be perfectly normal, but they had only met for less than five minutes and were complete strangers.
She's gone a bit too far with this.
At least in Ling Yi's opinion, it went too far, but judging from Meng Yanyi's expression, it didn't seem like she was acting; she seemed genuinely happy to be praised by Ling Yi.
Is this the Legend person with a blurred sense of boundaries?
In most relationships, there are certain boundaries, even between spouses and close friends.
But some people are born with a blurred sense of boundaries; they can chat with anyone, even strangers, and become friends with them.
Such people are either very cunning or heartless.
It seems that Meng Yanyi belongs to the latter category.
Ling Yi walked forward while throwing pebbles, and with each pebble he Throwing, a line of text floated past his eyes.
Although he didn't know what Diligence Points was, he did understand Throwing Skill experience points.
Having experience points means being able to level up, and being able to level up means becoming stronger.
In any case, becoming stronger is never a bad thing.
About half an hour later, the two had passed through the grove of trees and could see the mountaintop in the distance.
The surrounding temperature dropped a bit.
However, after climbing for so long, the two of them were slightly sweaty, but they didn't feel cold yet.
Ling Yi was alright, but Meng Yanyi clearly couldn't hold on much longer.
Ling Yi could only Slow Foot again, but he never stopped Throwing stones.
"How did you come up with the idea to participate in this program?" When people feel tired, Heaven Reincarnation their attention and greatly reduce fatigue.
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Meng Yanyi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Speaking of which, I myself find it inexplicable."
How so?
"It's all my manager's fault. About a week ago, she told me that she had accepted a program invitation. I didn't think much of it at the time, since she usually handles all my schedules."
"She only told me about the show's content a day ago, about a virtual world and all that, it sounded really sci-fi, I was quite looking forward to it, I never expected it to be like this."
"This is so realistic! If I didn't know this was a virtual world, I would have thought we just traveled through time."
Ling Yi thought to himself, "They've most likely traveled through time."
It's most likely a case of consciousness travel. With the current level of technology in the human world, no matter how realistic the virtual world is, it can't possibly be this realistic.
"Don't you ever doubt that this world is a real world?" Ling Yi asked.
"The real world? What would that be like?" Meng Yanyi aback.
Have you noticed something? The show didn't tell us how to leave this world.
"That's right!"
"Although they said that even if we die in this world, we won't really die, injuries will still hurt, like a broken leg or foot, what should we do?"
"Yeah, what should we do?" Meng Yanyi realized.
Then, to Ling Yi's astonishment, he pinched his arm with his finger.
"Ouch, that really hurts!"
"Can we withdraw now?"
It was clear that Meng Yanyi genuinely scared.
But fear was useless. Ling Yi estimated that there was probably only one way to quit: to just kill himself.
However, seeing Meng Yanyi's expression, Ling Yi felt it was best not to say anything.
"Quitting is out of the question, but I think this is quite a good experience. In the real world, we can't afford to get hurt so easily."
"I don't want this kind of experience at all, but you're right, quitting is impossible; the penalty for breach of contract is very high."
"Are the penalties for breach of contract high?" Ling Yi asked curiously. Were the penalties for breach of contract different for celebrities compared to ordinary people like them?
"Yeah, I've practically wasted all these years. Don't you think that's high or low?"
That's quite high. Everyone knows how high celebrities' incomes are, especially since Meng Yanyi is currently very popular. If she says she's worked for nothing for several years, then the breach of contract penalty must be an astronomical figure.
"Don't worry, the production team wouldn't really put us in danger!"
"So, what world are we in now?" Ling Yi changed the subject again.
"If only this were a martial arts world! Nine Yin White Bone Claw, ha!" Meng Yanyi struck a pose with both hands outstretched and shouted.
"Pfft, Sister Meng, your Nine Yin White Bone Claw Mengmeng!"
Are you insulting me?
"No, what are you talking about?" Ling Yi was a little confused.
"I played Mei Chaofeng, didn't you know? Let me tell you, my Mei Chaofeng was super fierce, super tough, I mean tough, not cute!"
As he spoke, he made a few gestures as if grabbing at the air, but Ling Yi couldn't see any ferocity in them.
On the contrary, she seems even cuter.
It's probably because Meng Yanyi is dressed in all pink; Ling Yi doesn't look fierce at all.
By the way, has Meng Yanyi played Mei Chaofeng? He didn't even know that.
By this time, the two had reached the mountaintop.
After looking around, both of them looked rather unpleasant.
Are we in trouble?
Ling Yi nodded. "It's a huge problem!"
In the far left front, Volcano can be Yinyin seen emitting smoke, while in the far right front, there is a continuous range of snow-capped mountains.
Behind them was a forest, and beyond the forest stretched a Dahai.
No, to be precise, it's surrounded by the Dahai.
"If I'm not mistaken, we're currently on an island."
"Snow-capped mountains, Volcano, islands, Ice and Fire Island?"
" Xie Xun, Yin Susu, Zhang Cuishan, Zhang Wuji?" Meng Yanyi's mind raced with possibilities.
Whether it's Ice and Fire Island or not isn't important; what's important is how we survive on this island.
"No, whether it's Ice and Fire Island or not isn't that important. If it really is Ice and Fire Island, then as long as we find Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan, we can leave with them!"
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "If it really is Ice and Fire Island, then we absolutely cannot go looking for Zhang Cuishan and the others."
Why?
" Xie Xun is no good person."
"Isn't Xie Xun a good person? Isn't he Zhang Wuji's godfather?"
"Leaving aside Xie Xun's indiscriminate killing of innocent people in the Central Plains Jianghu, just consider this: after Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan were stranded on Ice and Fire Island, do you know what the first thing Xie Xun did was?"
"What?"
" Xie Xun not only forced himself on Yin Susu, but also wanted Zhang Cuishan to watch. What kind of good person is Xie Xun?"
Meng Yanyi dumbfounded. "Really? How come I don't know about this?"
"That's because you haven't read the original novel. In the original novel, Xie Xun bullied Yin Susu at least three times, although it doesn't say whether Xie Xun succeeded or not."
"But think about it, Xie Xun harbored designs on Yin Susu, and they lived on Ice and Fire Island for ten years. Did Xie Xun really never succeed even once?"
"I even suspect that Zhang Wuji isn't Zhang Cuishan's son at all, but Xie Xun's son."
Meng Yanyi was completely dumbfounded. "So that's the truth?"
Just then, Ling Yi casually Throwing a pebble.
Another line of text floated before my eyes.
[Ding! Diligence Points +1, Throwing Skill experience +1, level up requirements met, Throwing Skill level increased by 1!]
[Ding, the system is now officially activated. Silently recite the command to open the system interface.]
Ling Yi could clearly feel a warm current flowing through his arms, wrists, back, and eyes.
I felt full of energy, and my eyesight became excellent.
With just a little concentration, he could see the leaves on a tree a hundred meters away clearly.
Several new memories have surfaced in my mind, all related to Throwing techniques.
Ling Yi is now confident that he can hit any target within a hundred meters with his pebbles, every single one.
At this moment, Ling Yi's face was filled with undisguised joy.
I knew it! How could a time traveler not have a cheat code?
" Xie Xun is so wicked, we definitely can't go looking for him. Not only can we not go looking for him, we should also avoid him."
Hearing Meng Yanyi's words, Ling Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I wonder if this is Ice and Fire Island from the Heavenly Sword World and Dragon Saber!
Suppressing the urge to open the system interface right now, Ling Yi said, "Whether this is Ice and Fire Island or not is still uncertain. Our primary objective right now is to build a shelter and then start Fire Starting to cook."
Meng Yanyi: "I have no Qiusheng experience at all. I'll do whatever you say. Don't worry, I can definitely endure hardship and will try my best not to hold you back."
"I don't have much Qiusheng experience; it's all theoretical knowledge, which I learned from short videos."
Although Ling Yi said that, there was no worry on his face. After all, he was a man with a cheat code.
It was just a Xiaoxiao wilderness Qiusheng, no big deal.
By now, the sun was already setting in the west, and it looked like it was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
After glancing around, Ling Yi pointed to a spot halfway up the mountain ahead and said, "There's a relatively flat area there; let's go check it out."
Meng Yanyi looked in the direction Ling Yi was pointing, and her face immediately fell. This was way too far!
The climb up the mountain had taken a lot of her energy, and her legs were sore.
To reach the place Ling Yi pointed out, they would have to go down the mountain and then climb it again, a thought that sent chills down their spines.
She knew that now was not the time to complain.
But I couldn't help asking, "Why not build a shelter at the foot of this mountain? There's a river right there, which would solve the water problem."
Ling Yi shook his head. "That location is too low. If it rains and causes a flash flood, there will be nowhere to run."
"Moreover, places with water sources are often where Beast congregate, making them equally dangerous."
"Therefore, our shelters must never be built too close to a water source."
"We'll likely be living here for a long time, so the shelter is very important to us."
"We might have to work a little harder in the beginning!"
Meng Yanyi nodded seriously and said, "I told you, I can endure hardship very well."
