There were clearly far fewer players in this world. Ling Yi scanned the area within a few kilometers with his Psychic Power and found only three players hunting bandits and monsters.
"If even a level 20 game world is like this, then other higher-level game worlds must be even more stagnant." Ling Yi was very disappointed.
Since the Teleport beam appeared, there hasn't been a single player at the Human Grade. It's laughable.
The highest-level player in the world is Xuanyuan Yan, the King of the Great Qian Empire, who is level 60.
This level seems very high, but in terms of actual strength, it is only comparable to Master -level Martial Practitioner.
Based on Ling Yi's understanding over the years, almost 30% of the Teleport beams are from fantasy or the Myth World —what an incredible opportunity!
It's pathetic that a mere death penalty has deterred players from their ambition.
In Ling Yi's view, player death is normal. So what if their level is reset to zero? Players can die, but they must never give up.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi glanced at the plaque of Fuwei Escort Agency, then focused his attention on his game inventory.
SSS-Grade Story Treasure Chest: An extremely rare chest with a chance to contain any item from the corresponding game world.
Ling Yi didn't hesitate much and immediately chose to open it.
The next moment, the Game System notification sounded.
Game notification: Congratulations to player Reincarnation, you have obtained SS- S Grade Krypton Bloodline LV99x1!
SS -S Grade Krypton Bloodline lv99 (To be activated): A powerful Kryptonian Bloodline that can grow infinitely stronger by basking in the sun, possessing a strong growth potential.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected it to be Krypton blood. Needless to say, Krypton have incredible growth potential. Activating the Krypton bloodline was practically equivalent to having an invincible appearance.
At least in today's real world, Krypton blood represents gods on earth.
However, Ling Yi did not want to activate this bloodline. His Collision Scam Physique was enough for him. He planned to give this bloodline to his family.
In the future, he will likely face various enemies. Once his identity is exposed, his family will be his only weakness. Therefore, it is very important for Ling Yi for his family to become strong.
He would never allow his family to suffer any harm, so he had to make his family equally invincible.
The S Grade random equipment then gave Ling Yi a Kryptonian Nano Armor.
However, this item has a high level requirement; you need to be level 45 to wear it. It seems it will be sitting in my inventory for a long time.
Finally, there's the Death Count Reset Card, which needs no further explanation.
In the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, the only things that could help Ling Yi were those martial arts manuals.
Ling Yi is now facing an extremely awkward problem. With his current attributes, he is virtually the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, and it's unlikely anyone can break through his defenses.
In other words, he is practically immortal in the game world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Big Superman can withstand bullets with his eyes; Ling Yi's stats are pretty much the same.
A surname five or six hundred times that of the average person is no joke.
Therefore, Ling Yi decided to try a different approach, partly to test an idea he had in mind.
What changes would occur to the game world if this world were destroyed?
Or rather, how will the game world respond?
Ling Yi had this idea when he fought against General Zod in the previous world.
He needs to be validated in this world.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi took to the air right in front of all the game NPCs and instantly appeared in Lin Zhong outside Fuzhou. He then descended from the sky and landed in front of Yue Lingshan and Lao Denuo, who were in Disguise.
The two stared in disbelief at the strangely dressed young man before them.
This must be a deity, descending from the sky. It must be a deity.
The world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer is a low-level martial arts world; reaching the Innate is already the pinnacle. Even Innate Realm masters can't fly.
Let alone flying, just staying on the ground for a few breaths would be the ultimate feat.
" Yue Lingshan, Lao Denuo?" Ling Yi asked, while his nano armor transformed into a white robe.
This scene left the two of them utterly shocked; it was undeniable that this was a god-like being.
"Yes, yes, senior. I wonder what your instructions are?" Lao Denuo said nervously, forcing a smile.
Ling Yi nodded and looked at the "extremely ugly" Yue Lingshan, "Remove your disguise and come with me."
"Huh?" Yue Lingshan was dumbfounded. This senior has taken a liking to me? He won't steal me as his wife, will he? Bah, what wife? He's a goddess.
"Go quickly!" Ling Yi urged.
Yue Lingshan pouted. "Are all immortals this domineering?"
A moment later, Yue Lingshan regained her original appearance.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up; Yue Lingshan Ling Yi's beauty was beyond his expectations.
"Good!"
At this moment, Lin Pingzhi, riding a horse and accompanied by several followers, galloped towards them from not far away.
Ling Yi knew that if he continued to wait, he might trigger the main storyline, but in order to verify his thoughts, Ling Yi didn't want to trigger the storyline for the time being.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi took Yue Lingshan into the air and flew towards the horizon.
Not only was Lao Denuo thrilled by this scene, but Lin Pingzhi, who had just arrived, was also filled with excitement.
"A god, a god! Is that a god?" Lin Pingzhi asked Lao Denuo, pointing to the sky.
Lao Denuo nodded blankly. Damn it, how am I going to explain this to Yue Buqun? Say his precious daughter was kidnapped by a deity? Would Yue Buqun believe that?
How could he possibly report to Sect Leader Zuo? He'd probably be reduced to ashes by Zuo Lengchan's Icy True Qi.
"This is terrible!" Lao Denuo's expression gradually shifted from excitement to pain.
Ah, if only a god could take him away too! I'd gladly serve him tea and water and be a servant.
Unfortunately, I didn't seize the opportunity.
Ling Yi, flying in the sky, is being subjected to Onslaught from Yue Lingshan.
"Wow, it really is flying! I'm flying!"
"Fairy brother, what's your name? Does the Heaven Heaven exist? What's it like?"
Are there Fairy, a Jade Emperor, and a Queen Mother in heaven?
"..."
Ling Yi took a deep breath, his brows furrowing into a deep frown, and snapped, "Tell me the direction of the Huashan Sect."
Yue Lingshan looked at Ling Yi with a pitiful expression; the fairy brother wasn't cute at all.
Looking down, Yue Lingshan was a little confused. It was her first time looking down at the earth from the sky, and she couldn't tell which way was which.
"Speak!" Ling Yi asked again, looking at Yue Lingshan's silly expression.
"I've never flown before, I can't tell directions." She said, pursing her lips as if about to cry.
"You..."
Before Ling Yi could say anything, Yue Lingshan's tears began to fall.
Ling Yi was exasperated. "Why are you crying? What's your reason for crying?"
"Don't cry!"
"Sighing, sobbing, crying, crying again, I can't control it, I just can't recognize myself."
"I'm not blaming you, let's go downstairs!"
Ling Yi realized that he had indeed overlooked this point. Navigating in the sky is different from navigating on the ground, and there is no such thing as navigation or latitude and longitude coordinates in this world.
Game Hint: Yue Lingshan, an important character in the storyline, has increased your Affection by 20 points; her current Affection is 60. Note: It is extremely difficult to increase the Affection of storyline characters. When a character's Affection reaches 100, you can take the storyline character out of the game world and make her your Follower.
"What?"
Ling Yi froze, his body suspended in mid-air.
"Holy crap, this Affection is amazing! It can even take people out of the game world?"
Ling Yi was deeply shocked.
Indeed, the game world is not just data; it's a real world, just gamified.
"Immortal Brother, what's wrong?" Yue Lingshan asked when she saw Ling Yi stop.
"It's nothing, let's go!"
Since the game indicated that it was extremely difficult to increase Affection, Ling Yi didn't take it too seriously.
After all, taking game NPCs out would not only be of no help to him, but would also cause him a lot of trouble.
The two landed in Lin Zhong, but Yue Lingshan still couldn't find her way.
Helpless, Ling Yi could only fly back, and ended up back at the small teahouse by the roadside.
While Lao Denuo and Lin Pingzhi were still in a daze, it flew away again, skimming the ground.
"This is my first time leaving Mount Hua. Before this, Senior Brother Lao Denuo always led the way."
Yue Lingshan was overjoyed to find that she finally knew the way and started chattering excitedly.
Ling Yi felt that she had chosen a minor trouble.
He originally wanted Yue Lingshan to lead the way, but Yue Lingshan was clearly not a good tour guide.
But if I had to bring Lao Denuo... Ling Yi thought it would be better to bring Yue Lingshan instead. Bringing a beautiful woman is much better than bringing a grown man.
Ling Yi was extremely fast, but even so, it still took him half a day to reach Mount Hua.
Yue Lingshan got confused several times and took the wrong turn.
Once they reached Mount Hua, things became much easier. Ling Yi once again took Yue Lingshan into the air and flew towards the cluster of buildings halfway up the mountain.
The Huashan Sect has a prestigious reputation, but in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, the entire Huashan Sect consists of only a handful of members.
It's not that Yue Buqun didn't want to develop the business, but that he dared not.
Zuo Lengchan is domineering and ruthless, and he is extremely wary of all sects. Once a sect's development gets out of his control, he will use all sorts of schemes and plots to suppress it.
Yue Buqun knew that before he could kill Zuo Lengchan, he had to keep a low profile, lie low, and pretend to be harmless to reduce his threat level in Zuo Lengchan's eyes.
To be fair, Yue Buqun wasn't a bad person in the strict sense. He was wholeheartedly devoted to the development of Mount Hua, and his greatest hope was that the Huashan Sect could flourish.
Zuo Lengchan was the biggest obstacle.
Especially in the later stages, Zuo Lengchan made it clear that he regarded him as the biggest threat. What could Old Yue do? He could only use every means to strengthen himself, and eventually he embarked on the path of self-mutilation, completely Madness and unable to turn back.
At that moment, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who were teaching their disciples martial arts, suddenly heard a voice coming from the sky.
"Father, Shan'er is back."
Everyone looked up in the direction of the sound, and then froze in shock.
"Immortal!"
"Monster!"
