Ma Lin was startled by the sudden sound and turned around to find Ling Yi standing right next to her.
"You, weren't you in City of Battlegrounds? How did you end up here?" Ma Lin asked incredulously.
But then it dawned on me. "You asked my Clone where I work because you want to know where I am? That Clone is such an idiot!"
"Incorrect answer!"
Ling Yi shook his head, pointed at Ma Lin, and countless golden lines appeared out of thin air.
Then it transformed into a small snake made entirely of golden lines.
Under Ma Lin's horrified gaze, it burrowed into her skin along her arm.
What terrified Ma Lin even more was that she couldn't move her body, as if she had been Acupoint Sealing.
The small snake that had burrowed under the skin was slowly swimming upwards.
It wasn't moving fast, but every movement of the little snake caused intense pain.
The pain was secondary; it was the fear that brought it that caused Ma Lin to break down and burst into tears.
"This snake will gradually ascend your left arm, eventually swimming into your heart and devouring it bit by bit."
"I can't say it, I'll die if I do!"
"All you need to do is answer yes or no, that's all. Did you already know I was going to kill you?"
"Yes!"
Did you already know about the existence of the City of Battlegrounds?
"I don't know, but I know you're in City of Battlegrounds!"
Did you already know about my abilities?
No, but I suspect you and I might be the same kind of people.
"Did you know I was going to kill you when you awakened your superpowers?"
"Yes!"
Do you have any other Clone?
"That's all. I can only Summon one hundred Clone, and they're all one-time use."
"Good!"
Ling Yi didn't want to ask any further questions after that.
Damn, this Simulation scenario is really dirty tricks. If Ling Yi hadn't been careful, he would have fallen for it.
In the previous Simulation, the task was to protect someone; in this scenario, it's to kill someone.
This tactic is both dirty and elaborate!
It seems I'll have to be more careful from now on.
" Ling Yi, I've answered you, please don't kill me!" Ma Lin said, her voice trembling with tears.
Don't worry, I won't kill you!
Ling Yi waved his hand, and a black light flashed, causing Ma Lin's figure to disappear on its own.
Killing it is impossible, so the only option is to cut and paste it into my own Dark Matter Hard Drive.
Just to be on the safe side, Ling Yi spent a whole day flying around Blue Star countless times before finally returning to Dafeng City after confirming that Ma Lin had truly disappeared.
I randomly picked a hotel and started to relax.
Ling Yi thought that Ling Yi would continue to cause trouble in the coming days, but he didn't.
In the early morning of the twenty-first day of the Simulation, the familiar "ding" sound rang out.
[Ding, the host's "Lying Down" rating is "Good," and a random reward is being given.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have acquired Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis has been detected. Your Photosynthesis bloodline has been automatically upgraded to version 2.0!]
Photosynthesis 2.0: Photosynthesis is more efficient; there is no upper limit to the absorption of light energy; light energy efficiency is only affected by the environment.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
This system's "lying down" reward is pretty good!
Photosynthesis is the foundation for Ling Yi's rapid growth in strength.
However, there are certain limitations.
For example, its efficiency in absorbing light energy is not high.
If calculated in terms of energy units, it's approximately 1000 joules per hour!
In other words, even if Ling Yi were right next to the sun, the efficiency would still be the same.
1000 joules is roughly equivalent to the energy of a large firecracker, which is really not much.
However, in version 2.0 of Photosynthesis, there is no energy limit, which means that the stronger the light, the higher the efficiency.
Without any hesitation, Ling Yi flew directly towards the outside of Blue Star.
It quickly flew out of the atmosphere.
But a moment later, they returned to Blue Star.
Damn it, he can't breathe in space yet.
Moreover, Ling Yi's body cannot withstand a vacuum environment.
Temperature doesn't matter; with the Passive Pickup function set in the Personal Space and with Erzhuzi around, it's enough to ensure that Ling Yi's body temperature remains constant.
The main problem is that when the human body is in a vacuum environment, the internal and external pressures become unbalanced, which can cause enormous damage to the body.
This is what Ling Yi can't stand the most.
To put it bluntly, Ling Yi's body wasn't strong enough.
If we reach the Planet Grade, perhaps we can survive in space.
According to the system, Ling Yi is currently only at the 0.4 Planet Grade.
But it's okay, Ling Yi also has Modeling function.
He directly Modeling a spacesuit for himself.
I originally wanted to Modeling a spaceship, but I didn't have enough energy, so I failed.
You can only Modeling one spacesuit, the kind with its own oxygen supply.
For the rest of the time, Ling Yi drifted in space, frantically absorbing solar energy through Photosynthesis.
Ling Yi returned to the cave after the fourth Simulation ended.
"Although the Simulation scenarios used some dirty tricks, I have to say, the Simulation Simulation was incredibly realistic."
In less than ten days, Ling Yi's attributes reached 0.7 Planet Grade.
If I sunbathe for another ten days or two weeks, I'm afraid I'll reach Planet Grade.
[This Urban Battle Royale scenario has ended. Congratulations! You have successfully completed the level and will soon return to your starting point.]
[Contestant Ling Yi, would you like to continue participating in the program? Choosing to continue will unlock a new Simulation scenario; choosing to exit will exit the Simulation scenario.]
"Don't quit!"
[Matching players...]
Ling Yi ignored the pop-up window displaying the Simulation scenario.
[Ding, the host's "Lying Down" rating is "Good," and a random reward is being given!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Pickup range has increased by 1000 meters!]
The time to exit the Simulation scenario is midnight on the thirty-first day.
Therefore, the time it takes to return to the birthplace each time coincides with the time for the "lying down" bonus.
During the final ten days, the "lying down" reward increases the Pickup range of your Personal Space.
If it's too short, add 100 meters; if it's too long, add 1000 meters.
Currently, Ling Yi's personal Spatial Pickup range has reached exactly 9 kilometers.
As for the system's random rewards, they're just random hammers.
Anyone who believes in randomness is Erzhuzi.
How strong is 0.7 Planet Grade?
It's fair to say that, apart from not being able to fly in his physical form, Ling Yi is basically no different from Big Superman.
The Perception range has reached 70 kilometers, and the Modeling function is no longer in wireframe view mode, but has added rendering.
In other words, the model Ling Yi is now Modeling is indistinguishable from the real thing.
The scope of the objects Modeling is broader, more complex, and larger.
Spaceships aren't feasible yet, but Combat, Big Delivery, and the like can Modeling out.
Although Ling Yi cannot fly, he has many ways to fly.
It has a Modeling function; as long as you have a big enough imagination, you can fly however you want.
That's not the point. The point is, Ling Yi can now Modeling fantastical things.
For example, the Golden-Hooped Rod, or Flying Sword!
I've taken a big step closer to quitting beef.
"The fourth Simulation scenario is so difficult, I doubt many players will be able to complete it," Ling Yi muttered to himself as he continued digging.
Since he had nothing better to do, Ling Yi continued digging along the cave entrance to the left.
If the viewers in the live stream heard Ling Yi say this, they would definitely Taunt him.
The fourth Simulation scenario was a huge challenge for Ling Yi, but not for the other contestants.
Because of AI Nüwa, all the players were given a cheat code.
Aside from a few unlucky individuals, 92 contestants successfully completed the challenge this time.
What Ling Yi was unaware of was that the other contestants' challenges were far easier than Ling Yi.
The difficulty level for the other contestants is at the "Erzhuzi" level, while Ling Yi's difficulty level is at the Hell Grade.
Taking advantage of the time before the fifth Simulation scenario began, Ling Yi organized his abilities.
Photosynthesis 2.0: Perception range of 70 kilometers, activation capability, Modeling!
Personal Space: 20,000 Cosmic Cube, Pickup range radius of 9 kilometers, Passive Pickup function, spirit of the artifact, Erzhuzi.
Nine sets of Bio Booster Armor.
The Toxin Immunity, an Infinite Ammo Revolver, Dark Matter Hard Drive, and the skill Eye of Investigation.
Hmm, it seems Ling Yi hasn't used the Eye of Investigation since he obtained it.
To be precise, Ling Yi forgot to use it.
"Did the matchmaking take this long?" Ling Yi couldn't help but complain after about two hours.
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, a new pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[All participants are in position; the random Simulation scenario for this session is being drawn!]
[The Simulation scenario is: The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Month.]
[Background: This is a world where humans and Ghost coexist, and you are an employee of the Ghost-Catching Bureau. Tonight marks the start of the annual Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Month.]
[ Simulation scenario limitations: If contestants exhibit abnormal data, the scenario difficulty will be adjusted accordingly;]
[Completion conditions: 1. Kill 100 ghosts; 2. Find out the reason for the Ghost' birth; 3. Survive for one month!]
Just then, Erzhuzi's voice rang in Ling Yi's mind.
"Boss, we've broken through!"
"What thing did you dig through?" Ling Yi asked, taken aback.
[Logging into the Simulation scenario...]
Before Erzhuzi could answer, the scene changed, Ling Yi appeared on a highway.
On both sides, there were dim yellow streetlights.
Beyond the right-hand railing lies the river, reflecting the city's night view across the river.
To the left is a low wall that extends forward and backward.
On the low wall, several large characters were painted in white: Dafeng City Linjiang Cemetery.
Beside Ling Yi were three young men dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses, looking like they were wearing black sunglasses.
Each of the three held a long, black sword.
Ling Yi glanced at his right hand, where he was also holding a black longsword.
Clearly, Ling Yi is in cahoots with these three.
However, Ling Yi didn't have Kung Fu Hustle to study the NPCs right now. In his mind, he asked Erzhuzi, "What did you just say was that you've cleared it?"
"Boss, the cave has been breached; the blocking energy has disappeared."
