Room 801 on the eighth floor, an apartment-style room.
Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi sat on the sofa, eating sunflower seeds while watching a replay of their live broadcast on TV.
"It seems this live stream is intentionally protecting our secret," Meng Yanyi said.
Ling Yi nodded. Whenever Ling Yi and the others talked about things related to their cheat abilities, the camera would zoom out. Once or twice could be a coincidence, but if it happened every time, it would be quite deliberate.
"It's not just us. Didn't you notice that when Zhang Cuishan was explaining internal energy cultivation techniques and meridian points to us, the camera was zooming out?"
"So, the live stream isn't just protecting our secrets; it's also a way to shield certain crucial information, like martial arts techniques, skills, and such. They probably don't want the viewers to waste their votes."
Ling Yi nodded, agreeing.
It wasn't just their livestream room; it was the same for almost all the livestream rooms in all the groups.
However, no matter how much secrecy was maintained, Ling Yi's immense strength, ability to fly, shipbuilding, and Meng Yanyi single punch were all recorded.
There's nothing they can do; this is the norm for Ling Yi and his group, and they can't keep it a secret even if they want to.
This incident caused a huge uproar online, with everyone wanting to know if Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi had cheated.
There has been no official response to this matter. Although there has been no response, it is likely that the situation has been brought under control behind the scenes, and people are only making a fuss online.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a TV show.
Their main point of contention is why Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi can use cheat codes, while other groups can't.
The fans of the celebrities in the four eliminated groups were the most vocal in their online protests, which lasted for three days from the start to the end of the show.
Moreover, the situation seems to be escalating.
"Aren't these fans just making their idols look bad? If this continues, their idols will be the ones who suffer the most. Aren't their management companies going to step in and control the online comments?"
Looking at the flood of comments, Meng Yanyi asked, puzzled.
Ling Yi shook his head; he didn't understand the fans' behavior at all.
In Ling Yi's view, if someone is a true fan and genuinely likes their idol, they should be aware of the negative effects of doing so.
Good grief, they directly challenged the official website, demanding the disqualification of Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi and that their idols be allowed to return to the show? Who gave them the guts?
As Meng Yanyi continues, the first to suffer will be these four celebrities.
However, Ling Yi's mind wasn't on that right now.
Rather, it lies in one's own cheat code.
Since returning to the real world, his cheat ability has been locked off, as if it doesn't exist, and he can't Summon it no matter how hard he tries.
This made Ling Yi feel a tiny bit panicked.
Fortunately, his strength is still there, and all the skills he has mastered are still there.
The storage ring is still usable; the Lesser Rejuvenation Minor Rejuvenation Pill and cards inside can be retrieved normally.
Ling Yi estimated that his cheat ability was likely only usable in the movie world and not in the real world.
Of course, we'll find out whether that's actually the case after we travel through time tonight.
By the time the two finished watching the edited version of the live stream replay, it was already past four in the afternoon. With nothing else to do, they watched other groups' Transmigration Livestream.
Compared to Ling Yi and his group's live stream, the other groups' live streams were much more normal.
There were no cheat codes or overpowered abilities, nor were there any exaggerated scenes of using giant trees as javelins; it was just a fairly normal Qiusheng livestream.
Those who were lucky, like Zhang Songwen and Gao Qisheng, were transported directly to the modern world, where they could at least survive by washing dishes or doing odd jobs.
Those who were less fortunate, like Ling Yi and the others, were thrown into the Wild Ridge and Qiusheng without any tools; most of them couldn't last more than a few days.
The most unfortunate group was one that was thrown into the world of a zombie movie. They were immediately eaten by the zombies as soon as they appeared, and that was the end of it.
Although I won't actually die, the pain is real, and I don't know if it will leave any psychological scars.
"It seems we need to be more careful next time we travel through time." Seeing this, Ling Yi couldn't help but remind Meng Yanyi.
"Hmm, this time travel is really random!"
"However, we're so popular! All the other groups combined don't even have as many people as us," Meng Yanyi smile.
Of course they're popular! They're playing a fantasy Qiusheng game, while the other groups are really Qiusheng.
" Ling Yi, do you think we should go back to the Heavenly Sword World next time we travel through time?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "Let's try a random one first. As for the Heavenly Sword World, let's put that aside for now. Our main goal right now is to figure out the patterns of time travel and understand the purpose of the unknown entity behind the film and television worlds."
"If the National Fortune of our Ancient Country continue to increase, will there come a day when everyone in our Ancient Country is as powerful as we are?" Meng Yanyi asked again.
"It's impossible for them to be as powerful as us; we're constantly getting stronger."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll go open the door!" Meng Yanyi Ying Yi.
Ling Yi glanced helplessly in a certain direction of the room; there was a camera there. Meng Yanyi's sudden movement meant that all her efforts to pretend to be an ordinary person had been in vain.
The visitors were Gao Qisheng, Zhang Songwen, and the beautiful host Lin Ran.
"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" Zhang Songwen said politely.
Meng Yanyi shook her head. "We can't even welcome you properly, Teacher Zhang, please come in."
After inviting the group into the house and exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ran handed two file folders to Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi respectively.
"Your identification documents are here. Congratulations, from this moment on, you are officially members of the National Fortune Department."
Ling Yi took out a small notebook with a dark gold cover from the file folder. The notebook had three bright gold characters written on it, " National Fortune Department ".
It's still called that name, aren't you worried about being misunderstood? "Luck" isn't just about fortune, it also includes transportation.
When you see this little notebook being distributed, most people would probably immediately think of the word "transportation," right?
But when Ling Yi opened the notebook and saw the information inside, his pupils contracted.
The information inside was actually his real information from his Afterlife: birthplace, family situation, school attended, and work resume, all exactly the same.
How did this information come to light? Why would the person behind it know so much about them?
Or is it that my time travel was orchestrated by the person behind it all?
What is the purpose of doing this?
This sense of uncertainty, this feeling of being forced into a situation, made Ling Yi feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yanyi Perception the Changes in Ling Yi's emotions in an instant and asked with concern.
Ling Yi shook his head. It wasn't appropriate for Meng Yanyi to know that he was a transmigrator yet. As for who the Old Liu behind the scenes was...?
Hmph, as long as I keep getting stronger, I'll find him and beat him up sooner or later.
At this moment, Lin Ran added, "There's also a bank card and a confidentiality agreement inside."
"The bank cards were issued under your individual identities. As for the confidentiality agreement, please note that it is a Level 1 confidentiality agreement, meaning that once signed, it must be abided by."
"Otherwise, it will be considered treason."
Ling Yi took out a blue-covered document, opened it, read it through, and then signed his name at the end.
The confidentiality agreement mainly prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of two things: the fact that Survival Points are equivalent to National Fortune Value, and the existence of the National Fortune Department.
There aren't any other major restrictions.
"So, other countries don't know that Survival Points are the same as National Fortune Value?" Ling Yi asked Lin Ran.
"They know that Film and Television World Survival is related to the National Fortune, but they don't know that Survival Points are related to the National Fortune."
Ling Yi nodded. Sure enough, the Ancient Country had gained the upper hand.
Seeing that Ling Yi had signed his name, Meng Yanyi also signed hers.
He then handed the confidentiality agreement to Lin Ran.
"Minister Guo Yun just received new information: after ten Film and Television World Survival, a Survival Battle Royale will occur."
"In other words, all the Qiusheng in the world will appear in a movie world to determine the final winner, just like in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."
"In other words, not only Qiusheng, but you must also eliminate other Qiusheng. Only Qiusheng from one country are allowed to remain as victors."
"If we can achieve final victory, there will undoubtedly be enormous benefits."
Lin Ran looked at Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi, " Ling Yi, Meng Yanyi, I hope you can do your best, not only for yourselves, but also for the entire Ancient Country."
Meng Yanyi assured her, "Don't worry, Sister Ran, we guarantee we'll get first place every time."
Ling Yi nodded.
"Also, if possible, I hope you can help other survival teams in our country," Lin Ran said to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi naturally understood what Lin Ran meant.
Clearly, they had analyzed something from Meng Yanyi and realized that they had the means to make others stronger.
Ling Yi didn't agree directly, but simply nodded slightly.
I'll definitely help, it's just a matter of a Team-Up Card, but it depends on how I help.
Lin Ran then reminded them, "The more Qiusheng our country has, the more Survival Points, and naturally, the greater our National Fortune will be."
Ling Yi nodded and said to Lin Ran, "We'll talk about it when we meet."
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Lin Ran's eyes lit up. "Okay, then I'll arrange for them to meet with you as soon as possible."
After saying that, Lin Ran quickly left, clearly to make arrangements for this matter.
After Lin Ran left, Gao Qisheng immediately came over and asked, " Ling Yi, are you guys really cheating?"
"To be honest, I don't know what happened either, but I guess it might be that some mechanism was triggered after I transmigrated!"
Gao Qisheng clearly didn't believe it; Lin Ran's words had been so obvious, and he wasn't stupid.
Besides, they watched the entire replay of Ling Yi and his team's live stream that day.
It was only then that he and Zhang Songwen realized that Ling Yi was not on the same level of Qiusheng as them at all.
If they were that capable, Qiusheng would be a piece of cake.
"Bro, I need a powerful patron!"
"Begging me won't help, but I can tell you a secret: maybe the movie world will actually give you a cheat code." Ling Yi started talking nonsense.
