Sand House Space, Ling Yi's Speculations

Ling Yi looked around; the space wasn't large and was easily identifiable.

The surrounding walls are made of sand and soil, which is very soft. Even without any tools, digging a little bit will cause a lot of sand and soil to fall off.

The entire space, besides himself, consisted only of the dilapidated wooden hut, the shovel, and...

A new watch with a dark red case appeared on my right wrist.

She was wearing nothing but the clothes she was originally wearing.

Ling Yi focused his attention on the watch.

The time displayed above is 20:05, with no seconds digits, only hours and minutes.

There were no buttons, and after trying for a while, Ling Yi couldn't remove it at all.

The watch has a sharp, metallic texture, but it's impossible to tell what material it is made of.

Ling Yi's heart stirred, and he tried silently chanting, "Open the system interface!"

Looking at the semi-transparent interface that appeared before him, Ling Yi thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Following the typical novel formula, this is most likely something like Reincarnation Space.

The interface consists of three main modules.

Chat area: divided into World Channel, regional channel, team channel and private chat channel.

All channels were very quiet; perhaps others had not yet discovered the watch's functions and how to use it.

Trading area: The top is empty, with nothing there. The bottom has buttons for listing, delisting, auctioning, and retrieving items.

The last module is the Q&A module for beginners.

Ling Yi tried typing in the first question: How do I leave this space?

Reply: The initial Sand House Space is a safe zone. You will automatically return to the real world at 8:00 AM tomorrow (2/3 free attempts).

It turns out that you only have three free attempts to ask a question.

Seeing this reply, Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he did nothing, he could return to the real world tomorrow morning, at least he wouldn't be trapped here to die.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi typed in the second question: What are the wooden house and shovel used for?

Reply: Please confirm whether you are inquiring about a cabin or a shovel (this reply will not be counted!).

Can't we exploit the loopholes?

Ling Yi thought for a moment and chose the shovel. It was the only tool in the space, so it must have a very important role.

Reply: The shovel is used for digging. You can choose to dig in any direction: forward, backward, left, right, up, or down to reach the next Sand House Space (1/3 of the free attempts).

This answer disappointed Ling Yi; it was almost meaningless. A shovel is obviously for digging, so why would it be a weapon?

Ling Yi considered the third question for a long time before finally deciding to ask the wooden house.

Reply: The wooden house is very important. Upgrading the wooden house will unlock more functions, including the ability to control its size with your mind. Important note: The wooden house is very important, please do not discard it. (Free attempts 0/3)

This answer is very useful.

If people didn't know this, they might not take the log cabin seriously.

This wooden cabin can be considered a beginner's base; only by upgrading the base can you unlock more features.

That's not enough. Can the wooden house be abandoned? If it can be abandoned, it means it can be found by someone.

If someone finds it, it means that this thing can be stolen.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and tried entering the fourth question: What's in the other Sand House Space?

Re: It costs 500 points to answer this question. Would you like to spend points to get the answer?

Ling Yi chose "Yes"!

Reply: We're sorry, your current points are 0.

"Great, this is very systematic." Ling Yi grinned.

Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the sand and began to integrate the information he had gathered.

First, the system says that the first Sand House Space is a safe house, and you can return to the real world at 8:00 AM.

That means that once you enter another Sand House Space, you may not be able to return to the real world normally.

Certain conditions must be met.

However, crisis is always accompanied by opportunity.

The existence of Sand House Space is certainly not just about confining people to Sand House Space every night.

The Sand House Space are currently all independent, personal spaces.

Was that so-called " Chief God " there to prevent mutual harm or dragging down others?

Why do this?

Unity, reducing competition?

It is quite possible that even greater crises will emerge in the real world, such as an invasion by mysterious creatures.

Even without external invasion, the emergence of the Sand House Space would lead to Changes in the world order.

To live a better life in the future, one must empower oneself through the Sand House Space.

Hiding in a safe zone is definitely not a good choice.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, entering the next Sand House Space is necessary.

"We need to get in touch with Ling Shan'er as soon as possible. I wonder if she's crying right now."

Ling Yi opened the system interface again with his mind and found the "Add Friend" button.

The private chat module includes an option to add friends.

However, when Ling Yi tried to add " Ling Shan'er " as a friend, he was prompted that each friend required 10 points.

Ling Yi was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, she was very happy.

This proves that as long as he gains enough points, he can contact Ling Shan'er very soon.

To avoid worrying the little girl, Ling Yi decided to enter the next Sand House Space.

He needs to quickly familiarize himself with more of the rules of the Sand House Space in order to earn points.

No matter what crisis he faces next, Ling Yi has no other choice.

Ling Yi didn't want to wait. He was worried that Ling Shan'er might leave the safe sand house out of anxiety or concern for him, and unknowingly enter the next Sand House Space.

Standing up, Ling Yi picked up the shovel.

With a thought, the dilapidated wooden house transformed into a miniature toy the size of a ping-pong ball, which Ling Yi stuffed into his pocket.

He randomly chose a direction and started digging with a shovel.

About ten minutes later, Ling Yi dug out a narrow passage about three meters deep.

The situation in the next space is now visible.

Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and crawled over.

When Ling Yi entered this new Sand House Space, the passage he had dug behind him disappeared automatically.

Ling Yi glanced back, but didn't seem to care.

He believed that even if he dug back, he probably wouldn't be able to get back to the safe sand house.

It's a bit like a maze; each time you enter a new sand house, the coordinates of the other Sand House Space are estimated to Changes randomly.

Sure enough, the system's continuous notification sounds followed immediately.

This was also the first time the system had spoken on its own initiative.

"Congratulations to player Ling Yi for being the first to leave the safe zone. Reward: 100 points."

"The instance world in the current Sand House Space is now officially activated."

Players need to achieve a minimum F level of story engagement to return to the Sand House Space after the story ends and return to the real world at 8:00 AM every day.

"If a player's participation is insufficient, they will automatically leave the instance world after the story ends and remain in the Sand House Space, unable to return to the real world, until the minimum participation requirement for the story is met."

The higher your participation in the storyline of the instance world, the greater the rewards.

"Anything not obtained in the physical world can be brought back to the real world."

"Please note that each instance world can only be entered three times. After three entries, you will no longer be able to enter the instance world of your current sand house."

"Every time you enter the instance world, everything in the instance world will be reset."

"New players who fail to meet the minimum story participation requirement three times in a row will be permanently disqualified from entering the next Sand House Space."

"Attention player Ling Yi, all system functions will be fully unlocked for you."

"Countdown to dungeon entry: 10...9...8..."

Within ten seconds, Ling Yi quickly spent 10 points to add Ling Shan'er as a friend and left a message: "Don't do anything, wait for me..."

The moment he clicked send, Ling Yi's figure vanished from the Sand House Space!

When Ling Yi came to his senses, he was already standing at the edge of a forest, with a clearing covered with weeds in front of him.

Not far away, there was a hole that went almost vertically downwards.

System notification: The current world is " Chronicle," and the story will end in one month.

"Currently, the time ratio between the instance world where player Ling Yi is located and the real world is 1:1."

Please note that player deaths within the instance world are considered real deaths.

The fact that they unearthed Chronicle right at the start is Chronicle lucky.

But that's not the point. The point is, this is Chronicle.

The world Ling Yi lives in is not the original world; the real world is Blue Star.

He made his fortune by plagiarizing.

what does that mean?

This means that he is the only one in the entire world who knows the plot of Chronicle.

This means that the so-called "copy world" is very likely to be those works from Earth in the past.

At this moment, Ling Yi felt somewhat fortunate that he hadn't plagiarized novels or screenplays when he was a plagiarist; otherwise, his advantage would have been much smaller.

"This is my secret weapon!"

Ling Yi was overjoyed and burst into laughter.

What was even more unexpected was that he found himself at the entrance of the cave where the Superpower Crystal was located.

The powerful Telekinesis ability, touted as a panacea, is readily available.

Of course, this is specifically referring to Ling Yi.

If it were someone else, they might have missed out on having superpowers.

After all, who would dare to explore this cave without knowing the plot?

"Very good, that's very much Protagonist!" Ling Yi's smile faded.

My mind raced as I carefully recalled and analyzed the system's prompts.

In dungeons, death is real death; this is something you must be aware of.

The issue of time allocation is also a major problem.

If you accidentally unearth a the Myth Grade dungeon, you might spend hundreds or even thousands of years in the dungeon world, and the same amount of time would pass in the real world.

However, Ling Yi noticed the system's wording.

"At present..."

"In other words, this ratio can be adjusted in the future; we must clarify this first."

Having sealed his memories, Ling Yi's mentality has clearly undergone a significant Changes.

If his memories hadn't been sealed, Ling Yi might not have had any interest in this Chronicle World rampant. In fact, he might not have stayed in this world for long before crossing over to the next one.

Because Ling Yi has traveled through too many worlds, Ling Yi has absolutely no idea how to progress through the storylines in this new world.

And now... he himself is the plot.
