Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Su Luoxue frowned and fell into deep thought.
The existence of the Inner World and the Surface World was something Ling Yi learned from Bai Zhanyun's memories.
Afterwards Su Luoxue, Ye Tian, Xiao Chen, and Qin Wanwan were informed.
They only told these few people.
However, Bai Zhanyun only knew about the existence of the Surface World and the Inner World.
Not much is known about this.
Bai Zhanyun learned of the existence of the Inner World from an old friend in a special department of the Ancient Country.
The Ancient Country has three mysterious departments.
Bureau of Mysterious Research, full name: Bureau for Research into Mysterious Events.
The Bureau of Mysterious Treasures, full name: Bureau for Management of Mysterious Treasures.
And the Bureau of Unusual Affairs, the Bureau for Handling Abnormal Affairs.
The Bureau of Mysterious Research has existed for over a hundred years.
It changed its name several times in between; for example, Bureau 749 was the predecessor of the Bureau of Mysterious Research.
To be precise, the Bureau of Mysterious Research, the Bureau of Mysterious Treasures, and the Bureau of Unusual Affairs were all formerly known as Bureau 749!
However, more than 20 years ago, it was split into three departments.
The Bureau of Mysterious Research primarily studies various mysterious substances, Transcendent items, and cutting-edge technologies.
The Bureau of Mysterious Treasures is mainly used to store or isolate treasures with supernatural or strange abilities.
The Bureau of Unusual Affairs primarily handles unusual incidents.
Moreover, the Bureau of Unusual Affairs seems to be the last department to be split off.
It belongs to the Combat Department, one of the three major departments.
Bai Zhanyun was also the first director of the Bureau of Unusual Affairs.
"There are too many Protagonist in our world," Ling Yi said.
This is absolutely not normal!
"In other words, our world is most likely a Fusion of Fantasy World."
"This shouldn't happen in the real world, the Surface World."
Su Luoxue nodded. "If it's the Surface World, there's no such thing as a Protagonist."
"That's right!"
"However, there is also the possibility that the Surface World and the Inner World have intersected, and these Protagonist come from the Inner World."
"But looking back now, that line of thinking seems to be wrong."
"This is actually quite easy to confirm," Ling Yi said.
How to do it?
"Didn't Bai Xiaofei say that his Corpse King System could consume gold coins to return to his own world?"
"If he can really do that, then it proves that our world is an Inner World composed of countless Fantasy World, not the Surface World."
"If not, then the Inner World and the Surface World have intersected, which is why so many Protagonist have appeared."
"So what?"
"So, of course we're going to find Bai Xiaofei."
"Go now?"
"Right now!"
As Ling Yi spoke, he placed his left hand on Su Luoxue's shoulder.
With their right hands pressed against their foreheads, the two figures vanished in the next instant.
When they reappeared, they were in a somewhat cramped room.
He came face to face with Bai Xiaofei, who was eating instant noodles in front of the sofa, his face showing a comical expression of shock.
He took a deep slurp and swallowed the instant noodles in his mouth.
Then he exclaimed in surprise, "Wo Cao, how did you all get here?"
Who are you people?
Ling Yi reached out and pointed, and a wristwatch appeared on Bai Xiaofei's left wrist.
It is the carrier of the Subsystem.
Then, with a grabbing motion, Ling Yi Void pulled a black celestial sphere from Bai Xiaofei's forehead.
This is Bai Xiaofei's system entity.
"This thing looks shady," Ling Yi said.
" Subsystem!"
[Ding, absorbing the essence of the Corpse King System...]
[Ding, successful absorption. New feature added: Dungeon module!]
[Consume Villain Points to unlock the dungeon.]
[Ding, checking copy information...]
[Currently accessible instances: Corpse Brother ( Bai Xiaofei ), Dragon Balls ( Ling Yi ), Canglan Immortal Realm ( Qin Hao ), Primordial Immortal Realm ( Ye Tian ), Weird Parallel World 229 ( Song Jiang )...]
Ling Yi opened the system interface.
The list of replicas in the Subsystem contains exactly 16 replicas, no more and no less.
Each instance corresponds to a specific Protagonist.
Currently, including Bai Xiaofei, there are exactly 16 Protagonist have been identified.
It wasn't just Ling Yi who saw the dungeon list.
The other Protagonist also saw the newly added dungeon interface through the Subsystem interface.
In other words, these Protagonist, as long as they have enough Villain Points, can return to their own world.
Dungeon World!
"As expected, the world we live in is the Inner World."
Ling Yi sighed somewhat.
"Why is your world the Dragon Balls World?" Su Luoxue asked.
"Are you from the Dragon Balls World?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "I can confirm that the world I traveled to before was not the Dragon Balls World."
"How could there be Dragon Ball anime in the Dragon Balls World?"
"Uh, that's true!" Su Luoxue nodded.
"Then why isn't there a copy of your world?"
Ling Yi shook his head; how would he know?
By now, Bai Xiaofei had learned about all the functions of the Subsystem.
Looking up at Ling Yi, he asked again, "So, you're the real Big Shot of this world!"
"Wow, that's impressive! You actually got all the Protagonist to work for you."
Ling Yi shrugged, not responding to the topic.
Instead, it closed the system interface.
These alternate worlds held some Gravity for Ling Yi, but not much.
His system is Villain System, specifically designed to exploit the Protagonist.
Whether or not you go to the instance world is not very meaningful.
The key point is that the time ratio between the instance world and the Main World is 1:1.
Once you enter the instance world, how to get back is a problem.
If they go and don't come back, that would be quite a sight.
Ling Yi will not enter the instance without truly understanding its mechanics.
This requires Little White.
And soon the Little White appeared.
They volunteered to be Little White.
It was Ye Tian and Xiao Chen, these two hidden Fledgling Phoenix.
The chat window was flooded with messages.
Ye Tian is preparing to return to the Primordial Immortal Realm, which is the world he was in before he transmigrated.
He was going to reclaim the resources and treasures he had accumulated over thousands of years of cultivation in the Primordial Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Because Tribulation Transcendence, he was hastily transported to another world.
This meant that he had no chance to take his savings with him over the years.
The purpose of this trip back is to retrieve the resources.
Entering the instance requires spending a minimum of 1000 Villain Points, with no upper limit.
Entering the Primordial Immortal Realm requires 3000 Villain Points.
Ye Tian could still afford it.
Xiao Chen planned to go with Ye Tian to take a look.
There was no other reason than pure curiosity about the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Moreover, the two of them didn't even have time to discuss it with anyone else before they used up their Villain Points and entered the instance world.
This left Ling Yi speechless.
Good heavens, aren't they afraid of something going wrong?!
"Hey Big Shot, I need to talk to you about something!" Bai Xiaofei said, rubbing his hands together as he looked at Ling Yi.
"I don't have any money to lend!"
"I won't lend you money, I'll lend you Villain Points." Bai Xiaofei showed absolutely no embarrassment about borrowing money.
"Go earn the Villain Points yourself."
"Hey, wait, Big Shot, you even took my system! My system is worth at least a few hundred thousand Villain Points, right?"
"What you're doing, stealing and taking, isn't that robbery?"
"If you want Villain Points, you'll have to Villain Points for them for ten days or half a month first." Ling Yi shook his head.
"But where am I supposed to find the Protagonist?!"
Su Luoxue laughed and said, "You misunderstood. Ling Yi meant that you were eliminated, not that you eliminated them!"
Bai Xiaofei blinked. "I feel like I've been tricked!"
