"This house is really nice."
Sitting on the sofa, Ling Yi looked at the house, which was over 60 square meters in size, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
He nodded in satisfaction.
Of course, the sofa, coffee table, chairs, and other furniture were taken out of Qin Xiaoxiao's backpack.
It wasn't included with this portable tent.
To put it simply, this portable tent is a highly foldable metal box made of magical materials.
The shape is simply the shape of the house.
It's impossible to have everything.
" Ling Yi, do you think there will ever be a day when Mutant Beast are killed?" Qin Xiaoxiao took out two boxes of self-heating hot pot.
He asked while adding water.
"What would you do if Mutant Beast were killed?" Ling Yi asked in return.
Will Mutant Beast be killed?
Theoretically speaking, of course!
Putting everything else aside, as long as Ling Yi's Blood Curse level is high enough and his Perception range is large enough...
Ling Yi could easily coat the entire Blue Star with a layer of Blood Curse Red Mist.
The Mutant Beast will then be defeated.
However, the truth behind this world is probably not so simple.
How did datafication emerge?
Everything has Karma. This world couldn't have become data-driven or gamified without a reason.
There must be Old Liu behind it all.
Of course, now is not the time to study these things.
For Ling Yi right now, the only thing he needs to do is grind monsters, explore the world, earn Plot Points, and become stronger.
As for the rest, we'll deal with them as they come.
"Maybe I'll open a small supermarket and live a life of leisure, just waiting to die!" Qin Xiaoxiao said after thinking for a moment.
"That's it?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
"That's it!" Qin Xiaoxiao nodded seriously.
"I'm a very lazy person, and I'm quite a homebody. I don't actually have any big ambitions."
"Furthermore, I have absolutely no desire to become Awakened."
Ling Yi was genuinely surprised.
But upon further reflection, it becomes understandable.
Not everyone enjoys a life filled with fighting and killing.
But in this world overrun by Mutant Beast, living an ordinary life is not an easy thing.
"Don't worry, that day will come."
"We're setting sail tomorrow. I wonder if there will be enough monsters to fight in the sea."
Are you worried that the monsters are too scattered, making it inefficient to farm them?
"Yes!" Ling Yi nodded.
Qin Xiaoxiao was about to say something when she suddenly froze.
Then, his face turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Ling Yi asked.
"Beasts, a beast tide!" Qin Xiaoxiao stammered.
Upon hearing the words "beast tide," Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
"Boundless Mutant Beast, the sky, the ground, everywhere are Mutant Beast."
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao like this...
Ling Yi instantly realized that Qin Xiaoxiao's talent for Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune was probably more than just being able to see hints.
It's highly likely that they will be able to see Precognition images of the future.
Otherwise, words alone could not have transformed Qin Xiaoxiao into this state.
"Calm down." Ling Yi snapped his the Snap in front of Qin Xiaoxiao.
"A beast tide? For us, isn't that just experience delivered right to our doorstep?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was brought back to her senses by Ling Yi's the Snap.
Then he remembered that the person next to him was a powerful figure.
The beast tide was bad news for the other Awakened.
But for Ling Yi, it was truly an experience delivered right to his doorstep.
Tell me about the beast tide situation in detail so I can prepare my skills in advance.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Yi with a serious expression and said, "This beast tide is very likely aimed at you."
"Um?"
"Calling it a beast tide feels more like a test to the enemy."
"Testing what? Testing me?"
"Hmm, it's probably a test of your strength."
"I saw two versions of the ending. One version was that after losing some cannon fodder, they quickly retreated."
"In another version, the Mutant Beast behaved abnormally wildly; not only were there sea Mutant Beast, but countless Mutant Beast also poured in from other areas."
"But why do these two situations occur? The footage is too fragmented; I don't know either."
Ling Yi stroked his chin and asked, "Then guess why there are two different results?"
Qin Xiaoxiao imitated Ling Yi, stroking her chin and saying, "The first version is that there's only one reason why the Mutant Beast retreated."
"Fear."
Only genuine fear can drive away the Mutant Beast.
Ling Yi nodded. "That makes sense."
"A second version? I'm wary."
"If the Mutant Beast discover that you are strong, but not that strong, they fear that as you grow stronger, you will become invincible."
"Therefore, I must kill you at all costs."
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap: "Got it, I need to put on an act to get the Mutant Beast to obediently come and eat me."
That should be the case.
"Are you sure this beast tide is really because of me?"
"Yes, I Hear. Deep in the Dahai, a terrifying being called your name."
"It must have been your information that was passed on to the leader of the Mutant Beast by the Church of Eternal Life."
Ling Yi nodded again.
So he stroked his chin and began to ponder how to act in a way that would trigger the second version.
"Should we tell Xia Qinghan and the others about the beast tide?" Qin Xiaoxiao asked.
What do you think?
"No need to say!" Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head.
" The Awakened have specialized monitoring methods; they issue advance warnings before the beast tide occurs."
"Furthermore, I suspect there are members of the Church of Eternal Life on this side of the wall as well."
"If we say it in advance, both sides will probably know beforehand."
Ling Yi nodded, agreeing with the analysis.
"Alright, then get some rest and prepare for the Taotie to come."
Qin Xiaoxiao returned to her room.
I wonder what they've been busy with.
Ling Yi then opened the system interface.
I clicked on the Ip Man World live stream.
As the live stream unfolded, two familiar figures came into view.
It was Zhou Qingquan and Ip Man.
Zhou Qingquan put down his teacup and said seriously, " Ah Man, with the nation facing a great calamity, we cannot stand idly by."
"I know you are a master, and I would like to ask you to help me train a group of experts so that they can make a difference in this critical time."
Ip Man frowned.
Zhou Qingquan has been coming to my place every day for the past few days.
It discusses the global landscape, the current national crisis, the invasion of Xiao Bagou, and how Western countries are eyeing the Ancient Country with covetous intent.
Just like attending class.
Ip Man gradually understood what Zhou Qingquan meant.
But in Ip Man's view, Zhou Qingquan's words, such as establishing his own armed force, recruiting soldiers and horses, and gathering heroes from all over the world, were all incomprehensible.
Claiming to be saving the country, what's the real difference between that and rebellion?
Ip Man was a very conservative and traditional person; he didn't want to get involved in these things.
He just wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife and children.
I don't want to rebel with Zhou Qingquan.
But Zhou Qingquan came every day, showing no sign of giving up until he agreed, leaving Ip Man helpless.
" Ah Chuen!" Ip Man tapped the cigarette in his hand.
" Wing-sing is pregnant. I am first and foremost a father, and then the head of the family."
I won't advise you on your own affairs, but you can't drag me into this.
As he spoke, Ip Man pulled a wooden box out from under the table.
It was placed directly at Zhou Qingquan's feet.
"Here are fifty Dahuang fish, most of my savings. This is all I can offer you."
