When Ling Yi came to his senses, he saw Zhang Xiaoya standing in front of him with her arms crossed and a haughty expression on her face.
Ling Yi looked at Zhang Xiaoya, a slight smile curving his lips.
" Ling Yi..." Zhang Xiaoya opened her mouth slightly, about to say something.
But Ling Yi interrupted him directly.
"Break up? Fine!"
Zhang Xiaoya's words stuck in her throat.
She really wants to break up.
With an F-rank talent and a priest profession, Ling Yi had no future in her eyes.
She is simply not worthy of her A-level talent as an archer.
Her future is limitless, while Ling Yi's future is destined to be a struggle in the mire of the lowest rungs of society.
But the fact that Ling Yi said those words first made her very unhappy.
I also felt very embarrassed.
She initiated the breakup, unlike the other person who broke up with her first.
Although the meaning is similar, to her it was humiliation.
"You..."
You're right, we're no longer from the same world.
Ling Yi stood up, turned around, and walked out.
Zhang Xiaoya's face flushed red. How did Ling Yi know what she was going to say?
The key issue is that this feeling of not being able to express myself clearly is incredibly frustrating.
Just then, a tall figure blocked Ling Yi's path.
It was Lü Hu.
" Ling Yi, and Zhang Xiaoya..."
"I won't apologize to Zhang Xiaoya," Ling Yi said, cutting off Lü Hu's words first.
"Haven't you always liked Zhang Xiaoya? Now your chance has come," Ling Yi continued.
At the same time, they bypassed Lü Hu and passed by him.
"But your current behavior is so immature, just like those cannon fodder villains in short dramas."
" Ling Yi!" Lü Hu gritted his teeth, his face flushed red.
" Lü Hu, you're not the only one who likes Zhang Xiaoya. Your enemy isn't me, but you've acted too stupidly towards me. In Zhang Xiaoya's eyes, that will lower your score."
Nobody likes a fool.
Lü Hu's initial fury inexplicably subsided after Ling Yi's last words.
My current behavior is exactly like that of those cannon fodder villains in the short drama, isn't it?
Brainless, a bootlicker, and ultimately gets killed by the Protagonist.
She turned her head and glanced at Ling Yi, who had already walked away.
Then he walked over to Zhang Xiaoya and said, " Xiaoya, there's no need to get angry with this piece of trash."
"He's just an F-rank priest; he'll be humiliated during the trials."
Zhang Xiaoya did not speak.
For some reason, she stared at Ling Yi's the Back, her eyes filled with anger.
" Ling Yi, you just wait. You'll be sorry during the trial."
At this moment, Ling Yi had already left the school and headed straight for Great Wind Bookstore.
He wanted to buy a copy of Journey to the West and send it to the Brother Monkey.
As for traveling through the Journey to the Journey to the West World?
Let's forget about it!
In the Journey to the West World, demons roam everywhere, while Human Immortal soar in the heavens.
The sky is filled with scheming gods and Buddhas.
It was both the Heavenly Dao and the schemes of the sages.
If he, an outsider, were to appear in the Journey to the West World, wouldn't he attract the attention of Heavenly Dao?
Even if I don't attract the attention of Heavenly Dao, how can I, with my small frame, survive in a high-level Map full of boss monsters?
In short, the Journey to the West is fraught with risks, and time travel requires caution.
The main goal of his cheat ability is to acquire Plot Points.
You can gain Plot Points by altering the plot.
Why insist on changing the plot yourself?
Wouldn't it be better to let the Brother Monkey change his own destiny?
"This world, although Parallel World, is still a data-driven, High Martial Arts world."
"But apart from the Mutant Beast and Awakened, it's basically the same as my previous life."
The novels, anime, games, and short dramas that existed in the previous life, all exist in this world.
However, for some unknown reason, this world began in 2012.
It branched off from an ordinary Parallel World and headed towards a world of High Martial Arts.
The Awakening Stone descends, causing all living beings to mutate.
The entire world is becoming data-driven, or rather, gamified.
After an eight-year war between humans and Mutant Beast, humanity grew stronger.
Finally, a certain balance of power was achieved between them and the Mutant Beast.
The final result, however, is that humanity is trapped in a giant cage.
The surrounding area is a paradise for Mutant Beast.
Take Ancient Country as an example.
It is bounded by the Great Wall to the north, the Yangtze River to the south, the coastline to the east, and the main peak to the west.
Humans built a continuous city wall.
Also called Boundary Wall.
Beyond the Boundary Wall lies the world of Mutant Beast; within the Boundary Wall lies the world of humans.
For most Awakened humans, the ultimate destination is the Boundary Wall.
Ordinary Awakened serve for five years. After five years, they are free to choose to continue guarding the Boundary Wall and leveling up by defeating monsters.
Alternatively, they could choose to retire.
Become a freelancer.
The five-year service period is mandatory; Awakened are required to be stationed at the Boundary Wall long-term to defend against Mutant Beast.
Coincidentally, every five years on the retirement day, new Awakened graduate and fill the gaps in the ranks.
This creates a perfect defensive cycle.
For those Awakened, the five-year service period is also the most dangerous five years.
After all, this is the front line.
The Combat was happening almost constantly.
Especially the Boundary Wall along the southeast coast.
It is the most dangerous.
The number of mutated organisms in the ocean far exceeds that on land.
A marine animal tide occurs almost every year.
It is also the place with the highest mortality rate among Awakened.
As Ling Yi processed the information about this world in his mind, he walked forward.
Although there is Boundary Wall.
However, this does not mean that Boundary Wall is absolutely safe.
Every now and then, Mutant Beast such as mutated rats and mutated cockroaches will pop out.
Occasionally, it will pop out from some hidden corner.
Let's stir up some trouble.
The task of dealing with the Mutant Beast within the Boundary Wall was carried out by the Defense Army.
The Defense Army is mostly composed of Awakened who have retired from the Border Army.
Lost in thought, Ling Yi had already arrived at Great Wind Bookstore.
This Great Wind Bookstore is already an old establishment.
Established in 1981, it has been in existence for 26 years.
Even though humanity has entered the electronic information age, this bookstore has not closed down and has persisted to this day.
Ling Yi pushed open the door and walked into the store.
The bookstore was deserted; apart from the young woman working there, there wasn't a single customer.
"Hello, do you have a physical copy of Journey to the West?"
The waitress looked up and glanced at Ling Yi's school uniform.
Somewhat curiously, he asked, " Journey to the West has an electronic version that you can watch on your phone, why do you want to buy a paper copy?"
"There are elderly people in my family who want to watch it."
"Oh, so do you want the original, the simplified version, or the comic book version?"
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "The original version."
The original version is the true source material.
That is the true Journey to the West.
The simplified version is actually an adapted version.
Much of the content was changed.
The comic book version has undergone even more modifications, because most comic book versions are specifically designed for children.
Some of the darker settings have been modified.
Therefore, the original version is the only one that truly captures the essence.
The original edition is further divided into a deluxe edition and a standard edition!
"What's the difference?" Ling Yi was somewhat speechless. Did a book really need to be made so fancy?
The young woman ran to the bookshelf at the back and quickly found two books.
One of them looked very retro, thread-bound, and had a blue cover.
The other one looks quite ordinary.
"A deluxe edition, completely retro, with text written vertically."
"Okay, this one."
"A sincere offer of 108!"
Good heavens, that's damn expensive.
But Ling Yi still took out his phone, scanned the code to pay, and left with the book.
After leaving the bookstore, Ling Yi went to a secluded corner.
I opened the system interface and tapped [Click to Publish].
