In a restaurant in Red Maple Town.
Ling Yi and Super Bored Person are eating.
To be precise, it was Super Bored Person eating; Ling Yi was just occasionally taking a sip of wine.
My gaze followed the second-floor window, looking down.
"I thought that ancient food, lacking modern technology and culinary skills, would be hard to eat, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious."
Super Bored Person took a bite of a pork knuckle.
"Especially this braised pork knuckle, it's absolutely delicious."
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh, " The Wisdom of the ancients far surpasses your imagination."
When Ling Yi first transmigrated, he was just as Super Bored Person.
They believed that, due to limitations in productivity, the conditions for clothing, food, housing, and transportation in ancient times must have been extremely poor.
But in the world, it's completely different.
While ancient people may not have had a wide variety of seasonings, that doesn't mean they didn't find other ways to compensate for the lack of flavor.
For example, what kind of pot or stove to use for what kind of ingredients, what kind of heat to use, and whether to boil or steam.
What proportions of ingredients should be used to bring out the best flavor in the food?
"The key is that the ingredients in ancient times were all-natural, truly green, without any trace of modern processing; they were absolutely organic."
The Super Bored Person nodded repeatedly. "Yes, truly authentic."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pork belly with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Take this pork belly, for example. The taste and texture are something I've only ever had since I was a child."
"If you took this one pot back to Earth and put it in a decent restaurant, you wouldn't be able to get a meal for less than a thousand or eight hundred yuan."
Ling Yi smiled and said, "That's true."
Having a fellow townsman is a good feeling.
Since arriving in this world, Ling Yi has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past three years.
But ultimately, he didn't fit in with this world.
Loneliness is unavoidable.
After all, we don't even have anything in common with people from ancient times.
Of course, the key point is that this "fellow villager" is still under his control.
The Super Bored Person let out a satisfied burp.
Touching his belly with a satisfied expression, he said, "That feels so good!"
"Just for this, this whole time travel was worth it."
"By the way, Ling Yi, what are your plans for the future?"
"Wait!"
Ling Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"I always thought this world was a fictional ancient world."
"But just yesterday morning, I saw with my own eyes a group of cultivators Sword Control Flight overhead."
"Only now did I realize that this world is a world of cultivation."
"Yeah, all I know is that this world is Immortal Cultivation Realm, nothing else." The Super Bored Person nodded.
"I thought you knew what happened next," Ling Yi asked, looking at him.
"Hehe, the plot comes first, the words follow. I'm different from other transmigrators, so nobody knows what happens next."
"You really don't know?"
The Super Bored Person shook their head. "I really don't know."
"Fine, then I'll pretend you didn't know."
"Brother, I really didn't know, I'm not lying to you!"
The Super Bored Person said earnestly, "I'm a very straightforward person. I'll say what I can say, and I'll tell you what I can't say. If I don't know something, I simply don't know."
"OK!" Ling Yi stopped talking.
Whether you believe it or not is not the point right now.
"I've already sent people to investigate, and I expect to get back to them soon."
"For now, you can explore Red Maple Town on your own. We'll make a decision once we have more accurate information."
"This world is too vast; the Sun and Moon Empire alone is comparable to more than a dozen Ancient Country."
Ling Yi took a sip of wine.
He continued, gazing out the window.
"I've been in this world for three years, and the forces I've secretly cultivated have even infiltrated the imperial city."
"Yet, I found absolutely no trace of cultivators in this world."
"There aren't even many stories about cultivators."
"Or perhaps someone deliberately erased all traces of the existence of cultivators."
"Either, there are very few cultivators who have emerged from the world, and ordinary people may never see a cultivator even once in their entire lives."
Super Bored Person asked, "So which situation do you think it is?"
"The latter!"
"Why?" the Super Bored Person asked, puzzled.
Clearly, his initial assessment leaned more towards the former.
"Those cultivators paraded through the streets yesterday, making no attempt to conceal themselves whatsoever."
"This means they are not afraid of revealing their identities."
"Otherwise, parading around in public and then having to erase all traces of yourself afterward—isn't that just asking for trouble?"
The Super Bored Person nodded. "That makes sense."
"So, if you run around without accurate information, you're just wasting your time."
"Clear!"
Ling Yi took out a black jade pendant with gold patterns.
It was just thrown to Super Bored Person.
"This is the Elder's Token of the Blue Star Trading Company," Ling Yi explained.
"With this token, you won't have to spend a single penny to do anything in Great Wind City."
"That kind of black card from the short drama?" The Super Bored Person's eyes lit up.
"Almost!"
"What about outside of Great Wind City?" the Super Bored Person asked.
"Within Beiye Commandery, no one dares to lay a finger on you."
"Amazing! Amazing!"
"Go have fun by yourself. I'll have someone contact you when I hear anything."
Super Bored Person, I've been wanting to explore the world on my own for ages.
I didn't dare to wander around aimlessly before because I was afraid of messing things up and wasting this opportunity to travel through time.
Now that he had the elder's token given to him by Ling Yi, his heart immediately became wild.
When Ling Yi took him to explore Red Maple Town before, they had seen a place called Spring Flower House.
It's obvious what kind of place this is.
Super Bored Person, I've been wanting to go and see for a long time.
Wait until the Super Bored Person leaves.
Ling Yi waved.
The next moment, an ordinary-looking, square-faced middle-aged man walked over from a nearby table.
"My lord."
"Find someone, follow them, just observe, just remember, observe carefully, remember in detail, don't worry about anything else, even if they die, don't worry about them."
"Yes, my lord!" The middle-aged man clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.
It's not that I don't believe in Super Bored Person.
After all, Ling Yi's account can be banned at any time.
I just wanted to observe this Summon phenomenon.
For example, what exactly is this so-called "AFK mode"?
Are there any special effects when logging off and logging back in?
What happens to a body if someone dies?
Or, to put it another way, will the body remain, and how will it Resurrection?
With a thought, Ling Yi opened the system interface.
[ Fan Summon System Version 1.0 ]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
[Current Followers: 105][ Summon ]
[1 fan has been Summon ]
[ Summon List][Click to Expand]
{1. Super Bored Person ( Human First Tier ): Low-grade Wind Spiritual Root, Cultivation: None!}
Compared to yesterday, the system interface is a bit longer.
A new Summon list has been added.
The number of fans has increased to 105, which means that Ling Yi can now perform 105 Human First Tier Summon.
As for where these fans came from...
They were subordinates of Ling Yi.
Whenever Ling Yi meets with his subordinates, the system will automatically increase his fan count.
However, not all subordinates will be included as fans.
Just as Ling Yi had guessed.
Only those who demonstrate a certain level of Loyalty will be included in the database.
Almost all the industries in Red Maple Town now belong to Ling Yi.
But most ordinary people don't know that Ling Yi is the mastermind behind it all.
If you don't know, then there's no such thing as Loyalty.
" Summon Mortal First Tier mortal fan." Ling Yi tried summoning a higher -First Tier Summon again.
[Ding, conditions not met, Summon impossible.]
" Summon Human Second Tier Fan!"
[Ding, Summon conditions met, Summon now?][Yes][No]
