After returning to the real world.
Ling Yi spent two days in the real world to adjust to the time difference and ease his mind.
He then went to the world of Monk Comes Down the Mountain and spent a month with Liu Ruyan.
Only then did they prepare to embark on a new journey through time.
[Host, this time it's still a big boss, the super rich kind. This time, you'll be the Protagonist from the start, jumping straight to the top.]
"Hmm? The World Consciousness would agree?"
[This Virtual-Dimensional World is quite special; it is the Awakened Illusory Realm.]
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow. "A new term again? Awakened Illusory Realm, what's that?"
[Simply put, some cesium have awakened, but they still occupy their original cesium positions!]
"How... how did you do that?"
The Awakened are those who have transcended the plot.
Generally, once Awakened, they will actively distance themselves from the storyline, and Awakened original character will be replaced by someone else.
Awakened and cesium should not be able to coexist simultaneously.
This piqued Ling Yi's interest!
[In this world, every character in the storyline has a system, and it is precisely because of these systems that these Awakened can retain them after awakening.]
[By retaining the system, we essentially retain the storyline characters.]
Ling Yi scratched his head, not quite understanding.
"Just tell me directly what I want to do in that time."
[OK, I've already communicated with the World Consciousness. To help this world achieve dimensional ascension, the host only needs to do the following.]
[First, completing the entire story timeline takes approximately five years.]
[Secondly, prevent Awakened and transmigrators from completing their missions, and help normal beings complete their missions.]
[Third, you cannot kill Awakened or Transmigrators.]
[Fourth, the host will not receive any story content, and their power needs to be sealed.]
[Fifth, I suggest the host refrain from making happy sounds this time.]
Ling Yi frowned.
"That sounds like a lot of trouble."
[No, believe me, host, it's not troublesome at all. On the contrary, this world is incredibly easy for you, you could even say it's a benefit.]
Is it really not troublesome? Ling Yi was somewhat doubtful.
To prevent the Awakened and Transmigrators from completing their mission, you cannot kill them.
They also need to help the normal cesium complete its task.
Isn't this troublesome? It looks troublesome no matter how you look at it!
Why aren't you given a plot?
[You'll understand once the host travels through time; there's no need for a plot at all.]
"Okay, what about the commission?"
[Hehe, host, once this is over, your Myriad Worlds Company will be ready to open for business.]
It seems the commission this time is quite substantial.
"By the way, where's Hu Yueyue?"
[She's already been transported to the new world, but it's unclear whether she'll be able to complete the mission successfully.]
Ling Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Then let's begin the journey. I'd like to see just how special this world really is."
[Please prepare yourself, host. The countdown to time travel has begun...]
A ten-second countdown appeared before Ling Yi's eyes.
As the countdown ended, Ling Yi felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment he found himself at the entrance of a university.
[Transferring the Protagonist's memories to the host.]
The next moment, a strange memory appeared out of nowhere in Ling Yi's mind.
Ling Yi, 19 years old, an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.
I am currently a sophomore at Beiye University in Dafeng City, North Leaf Province.
I studied financial management.
This morning, I just awakened a system called the Son of Light System.
A system whose purpose is completely unknown.
Of course, none of that matters. What matters is...
"That guy's a total sycophant!"
Ling Yi has been Lin Shanshan's sycophant since high school.
He himself was an orphan, but he still tried to raise tuition and living expenses for Lin Shanshan and himself.
I have to work more than a dozen jobs every day.
On average, they get less than four hours of rest a day.
As a result, Ling Yi appeared particularly thin, looking malnourished.
The key point is that Lin Shanshan isn't without family or parents.
Furthermore, their family owns a small clothing factory, so they are not short of money at all.
Tuition and living expenses—do you really need this idiot to earn them?
This isn't just sycophancy, this is possession!
At that moment, " Ling Yi " was giving Lin Shanshan a gift. He had saved up three months' salary, six thousand yuan, to buy Lin Shanshan a bracelet.
However, at this moment, Lin Shanshan had already thrown the bracelet on the ground.
Moreover, Lin Shanshan was also holding onto a young man's arm.
He looked at Ling Yi with a look of disgust.
" Ling Yi, I already have a boyfriend. Please don't bother me anymore, I'm afraid Yuhao will misunderstand."
Yuhao, that is, Qin Yuhao, has quite a reputation at school.
He's a second-generation rich kid; his family has a considerable business empire with assets worth tens of millions.
A rich second-generation heir, a gold digger, a poor guy who fawns over her, and they get dumped.
Very good, this is a short drama.
Ling Yi took out his phone and turned on the recording function.
It was aimed directly at Qin Yuhao and Lin Shanshan.
" Lin Shanshan, have you never liked me?"
"Nonsense! Look at yourself! An orphan, working yourself to the bone, doing over a dozen jobs a month, and you only make a few thousand yuan."
Lin Shanshan didn't pay any attention to Ling Yi taking pictures of her with his phone, nor did she think much of it.
So what if it was recorded?
Lin Shanshan held out her wrist. "See this watch? It costs 75,000. Even if you worked for a year, could you afford one?"
"I can't afford it, but I can give you a bracelet to wear," Ling Yi said jokingly.
"Tch, how expensive a bracelet could you possibly afford?" Lin Xinran scoffed.
"Don't worry, this bracelet is free." Ling Yi waved his hand.
"Free? What do you mean?"
"For fraud exceeding 100,000 yuan, the penalty is imprisonment for three to ten years, and in addition to repaying all debts, a fine will also be imposed."
"A fraudster? Ling Yi, what are you talking about?"
"Since high school, I've spent at least 100,000 yuan on you."
"That was given voluntarily, when did it become fraud?" Lin Shanshan said angrily.
"It wasn't voluntary. Have you forgotten those IOUs?" Ling Yi laughed.
"Let's not even talk about the gifts I gave you, but you've already given me IOUs for your tuition and living expenses over these past five years."
An IOU was indeed written.
Lin Shanshan, this gold digger, tries to portray herself as an innocent Little White girl in order to show that she is not materialistic.
Every time Ling Yi transferred money to her, he would write an IOU, saying he would pay her back when he had the money later.
Now, it comes in handy.
"Hmph, you want me to pay you back? No way! You gave me that money voluntarily during our relationship," Lin Shanshan retorted.
Or rather, she was confident that Ling Yi was just bluffing and wouldn't actually make her pay back the money.
After all, this was someone who had been licking her boots for five years.
"But didn't you just say that you've never liked me?"
"You don't like me, yet you still take my money? What is this if not fraud?"
" Lin Shanshan, I'm giving you two choices: first, pay me back in three minutes; second, I'll call Uncle Hat in three minutes."
By now, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around.
Many people began to point fingers at Lin Shanshan.
Words like "gold digger," "shameless," and "fraudster" were constantly being uttered by the public.
Although the sounds were not loud, they sounded particularly jarring to Lin Shanshan's ears.
"It's just 100,000 yuan, right? I'll give it to you later." Lin Shanshan's idea was simple: she would coax Ling Yi a few times and give him some sweetener.
That's the end of it. Lin Shanshan has done this countless times over the past five years.
What she didn't know was that the Ling Yi in front of her was no longer the same Ling Yi.
"You have two minutes. If you don't pay me back, I'll call Uncle Hat." Ling Yi turned off the video, pressed the three-digit number, and showed it to Lin Shanshan.
"Where am I supposed to get 100,000 for you in such a short time?"
"Your boyfriend has one!" Ling Yi pointed at Qin Yuhao. "Your boyfriend is even willing to buy you a watch worth 75,000 yuan, and he'll help you pay off 100,000 yuan. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Qin Yuhao, standing next to Lin Shanshan, frowned slightly but remained silent.
Among the crowd, there was a beautiful figure who was looking at Ling Yi with a complicated expression.
Her name is Shen Xinran.
One of the three most School Belle at Beiye University.
At that moment, a semi-transparent system interface appeared before her eyes.
[ Ling Yi, the Son of Light, has been detected. Please comfort Ling Yi, who is heartbroken, and increase his Affection by 10 points within ten minutes.]
