"How could I possibly know? I think you'd better ask Song Zhexuan." Ling Yi shook his head.
"Okay, thank you, you can go back now," the female director suddenly said.
Ling Yi was taken aback. He had thought the female director would ask more questions, but it seemed to be over just like that?
"Okay, sure."
Ling Yi didn't want to spend any more time with this female director. Although he had lived two lives, in his previous life he was just a scoundrel; how much experience could he possibly have?
The female director's gaze was deep as she watched Ling Yi's departing the Back.
Ling Yi thought he had performed very well, remained calm, and handled the situation reasonably.
But it was precisely because Ling Yi performed so well that the female director became even more suspicious.
This is not how a high school student should behave upon seeing these soldiers.
Especially in this one-on-one situation, Ling Yi showed absolutely no sign of nervousness, which was the biggest problem.
" Guo Hai, come in here."
"Chief!" A young sergeant walked in, saluted the female chief, and said.
"Keep an eye on that kid from earlier, but don't let him spot you."
"Yes, Director. Um, could this kid be Reincarnation?"
"Don't ask too many questions. Just record what he did each day and where he went. If you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately."
"Yes!"
Ling Yi was completely unaware that he was being watched. Not long after he returned to the classroom, Ran Ran also came back.
"It seems Song Zhexuan isn't coming back," Ling Yi said, glancing at Song Zhexuan's location.
"Serves him right, that guy is absolutely despicable," Ran Ran said angrily.
Ran Ran was furious when she found out what Song Zhexuan had done in the game.
"But for some reason, that sergeant asked me a lot of questions about you."
Ling Yi was taken aback. "It's probably because Song Zhexuan has a grudge against me, and he was saying before entering the game that he would deal with me in the game."
"To be honest, I also bear some responsibility for the huge losses our classmates suffered; I've dragged them down with me."
"Don't say that. After all, no one would have expected Song Zhexuan to do something like this."
Ling Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Just because Ran Ran thought that way didn't mean the other classmates thought the same way. Ling Yi knew very well that his relationship with these classmates had come to an end.
Song Zhexuan did not return as expected. Afterwards, the military withdrew, the school was disbanded, and everyone went home.
Ling Yi's home is in an ordinary residential area in Minghai City. As soon as he entered the residential area, he saw his younger sister Ling Li, skipping and hopping home as well.
Ling Yi chuckled, quietly walked behind Ling Li, and shouted, " Xiao Li!"
"Ouch!" Xiao Li was so startled by Ling Yi's shout that she jumped up and threw the plastic bag behind her.
"Click..."
"My god, brother, are you trying to kill me?" Xiao Li kicked Ling Yi several times and said angrily.
"What's in this plastic bag?" Ling Yi had a bad feeling.
"Ouch, it's an egg... I'm doomed!" Xiao Li pinched her ear. "It's all your fault!"
"It's okay, it didn't fall to the ground anyway, it was going to break eventually."
"Is that so?" Xiao Li asked doubtfully.
"By the way, what's going on at school today? Why did everyone suddenly get a day off? And what's the deal with Song Zhexuan?"
Xiao Li and Ling Yi go to the same school. Xiao Li is only a freshman in high school, and it will be more than two years before she can enter the Teleport pillar.
" Supreme Purity, I'm still confused."
Ling Yi naturally wouldn't tell his family about these things, partly because he didn't want them to worry, and partly because now wasn't the right time to tell them.
He even had to abandon his original plan to use the Superpower Crystal on his family.
The presence of military personnel demonstrates the importance that higher authorities attach to this matter, suggesting that he and all his classmates are likely under surveillance.
If one's parents suddenly display extraordinary power, they will inevitably be suspected.
Many students have witnessed Telekinesis abilities in the game world, making them very easy to recognize.
Ling Yi knew he needed to keep a low profile right now.
The world is a deep and complex place, and it's probably not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Ten years have passed since the game world began, and the strongest players are no longer just the few officially announced.
Mother was cooking Cong Lanzhi Father was watching TV.
Upon seeing Ling Yi and his companion enter, Ling Zhan, the father, kept his eyes fixed on the television, but asked, "Is everything alright?"
"It failed once."
"That's already pretty good. The official level of the Silu Town game world has been adjusted; it's now a level 42 world."
"Is that Reincarnation really that powerful?" At that moment, the mother brought out a plate of stir-fried pork, placed the dish on the table, and asked.
"It must be pretty impressive, right?" Ling Yi coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed as he praised himself.
"The fact that they can gain Superpower in the game world has a huge impact on all players. It's like having another way to improve their strength, so players will definitely focus on progressing through the storyline in the future," the father added.
"Who exactly is Reincarnation? Do you have any guesses?"
Ling Yi felt something was very strange. Reincarnation was himself, and he was talking about himself?
"Ahem, I don't know. The characters in the game are all disguised; it's hard to tell who it is."
At that moment, Cong Lanzhi looked at the egg that Xiao Li handed her, grabbed Xiao Li's ear and yanked it.
"You can't even buy groceries properly, Little Fool, what will you do in the future?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Xiao Li grimaced.
"Don't pretend with me, I didn't use any force at all. Go wash your hands, I'll fry the eggs and then we'll eat."
Ling Yi enjoyed this warm feeling and immediately abandoned some of her Central Plains thoughts.
He must not expose himself if he lacks the strength; otherwise, he and his family will never have peace.
"What are your plans for the future?" Ling Zhan asked Ling Yi after the meal.
"I don't have any specific plans yet. Let's find some low-level worlds and grind our levels up first."
"Yes, it's good to play it safe. Don't be reckless. The death penalty in the game is too severe. For ordinary people like us, dying more than three times is equivalent to cutting off our future. No one can guarantee that they will always be vigilant or never die in the game."
"If you can reach level 10 before accumulating three deaths, there's still a chance; otherwise, it's too difficult."
Ling Zhan and Cong Lanzhi are both players who have died more than 5 times. They are very cautious in the game and are having a very frustrating time.
Furthermore, the competition among players is blatantly malicious, with some unambitious, high-level players primarily Plunder on lower-level and ordinary players.
"The gaming world is a mess, it's getting harder and harder to survive here," Cong Lanzhi lamented.
Ordinary players can only survive in low-level worlds, and even then, they are still Plunder by high-level players, leaving them with virtually no way to survive.
"Because the Teleport beam has no login restrictions, even someone at level 100 can still enter a level 1 world, which is very unreasonable," Ling Zhan also said.
Just then, the TV series that Central Plains the television suddenly stopped, and an announcement popped up.
Official Announcement: Breaking news! A major change has occurred in World 21871. The Teleport beam now has login restrictions; players level 45 and above are no longer able to log in. Additionally, the level of all NPCs in this world has been raised, from a minimum of level 10 to a maximum of level 45.
"This is the first time a level restriction rule has appeared on the Teleport beam. Experts speculate that this rule will make the game world more rational and fair. However, activating this World Rule may require completing certain parts of the game's storyline. Players, please..."
Ordinary players may not know that there is such a thing as story progression in the game world, but the official team certainly knows about the concept of story progression.
Triggering plot progression is easy, but completing all plot progressions is very difficult.
After all, not everyone is like Ling Yi, who knows the plot of the game world.
Ling Yi watched TV, lost in thought.
"This is good news! If the storyline in the level 1 world is completed, high-level players won't be able to enter anymore, which will make it much easier for ordinary players," Cong Lanzhi a smile.
Ling Zhan shook his head, "I'm afraid completing the plot's progression won't be easy; that Reincarnation is probably just a coincidence."
"There will always be some patterns," Ling Yi said after thinking for a moment.
"For example, interact more with NPCs in the game, learn more about the game world, what organizations and factions exist, and what major events have occurred in the past."
"Every game world has Protagonist NPC. As long as you know the game world well enough, it's easy to find these Protagonist NPCs. Once you find the Protagonist, interacting with Protagonist more will increase the chances of triggering story progression."
Ling Zhan glanced at his son in surprise; he hadn't expected Ling Yi to see things so clearly.
"You're right. Perhaps we ordinary players should start exploring the game's storyline."
"Shall we give it a try tonight?" Cong Lanzhi asked Ling Zhan.
"Yes, we have to try it eventually. After all, triggering the plot progression has huge benefits, and we might even gain powerful abilities in the game world." Ling Zhan seemed to have been ignited with fighting spirit and said excitedly.
"I will also enter the game world again tonight," Ling Yi said.
"Ugh, this is so annoying. I still have to wait two more years before I can enter the game world, and then I'll be all alone in this empty room again," Xiao Li said with dissatisfaction.
Cong Lanzhi waved her hand and tapped Xiao Li on the head, "What do you mean by 'alone in an empty room'? You don't even know how to use an idiom. Go inside and study. I'll check your homework when I get back."
"Huh? Oh!" Xiao Li walked listlessly towards her room, muttering as she went, "So, true love really does disappear?"
Ling Zhan and Cong Lanzhi both laughed.
Ling Yi's lips curled into a smile.
After tidying up quickly, the three left the house.
In the neighborhood, many people were also going out at this time. Like Ling Zhan's family, they all went to work during the day and spent their nights playing games.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential complex, Ling Yi Ling Yi ways with his parents, explaining that he had arranged to go into the game world with his classmates.
"Then be careful, and don't be reckless," Ling Zhan cautioned.
"Okay, I understand."
Watching his parents' departing the Back, Ling Yi took a deep breath and walked in the opposite direction.
There are a total of 7 Teleport pillars in the Minghai City. In addition to the 3 in the suburbs, the other 4 game worlds are officially defined as follows: Level 1 Smallville World, Level 12 Warlords World, Level 20 Fuwei Escort Agency World, and Level 29 Hell's Kitchen World.
According to the information Ling Yi has collected over the years, the Level 1 Smallville world should be the world of the TV series " Superman," because there is a Kent Farm in it, where the Kents live.
The Kents have a son named... Clark Kent.
When Ling Yi learned that this world was the world of " Superman," he was completely dumbfounded. The fact that Big Superman's world was officially defined as a Level 1 world was simply... outrageous.
The game features 12 levels of warlords vying for supremacy in the Three Kingdoms period, but it's unclear which specific movie or TV Three Kingdoms it refers to.
The level 20 world of Fuwei Escort Agency is the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, which is the easiest to guess. Although many movies and TV Central City Fuwei Escort Agency, only the Smiling, Proud Wanderer Online features Lin Pingzhi. Similarly, it's unknown which version it is.
As for Hell's Kitchen, which is level 29 and features Stark Industries and Tony Stark, it's undoubtedly from Marvel.
