Ling Yi never expected that Jin Wanqi and Jiang Ran's parents would join forces against such a "small fry" as him.
Everything he had done before was completely futile, though he doesn't know that yet.
At this moment, Ling Yi and Jiang Ran seemed to be preparing to settle down and live a quiet life.
Jiang Ran washed the vegetables, Ling Yi cooked them.
"I never expected you could cook, and you're so good at it." Smelling the aroma of the food, Jiang Ran felt even more that Ling Yi was truly amazing.
There are many guys who can cook, but those who can cook to this level are extremely rare.
Jiang Ran has eaten her fair share of delicious food since she was a child, but never before has she looked forward to this meal as much as she does now.
Ling Yi was quite confident in his ability to cook.
In his previous life, he was a Burter picky person.
A typical foodie, with almost no resistance to delicious food.
After trying most restaurants and various cuisines, ordinary food could no longer satisfy Ling Yi's cravings.
However, Ling Yi Ling Yi n't afford the gourmet food at those high-end restaurants, so he took a three-month leave of absence to study cooking at a culinary school.
And you know what? Ling Yi has quite a talent for cooking.
In three months, I not only learned how to cook major classic cuisines, but I also learned a lot of unique imperial cuisine techniques from a master chef.
From then on, Ling Yi almost exclusively ate the food he cooked himself, rarely ordering takeout or eating out.
"I'm Bobby, and I even had anorexia when I was a child. To avoid suffering for my taste buds, I started researching cooking myself, and luckily, I have some talent for it."
"So, I'm really in for a treat from now on!" Who can resist delicious food?
To welcome Jiang Ran, Ling Yi specially prepared six dishes and a soup.
Both of them were extremely satisfied with the meal, and it was the first time Jiang Ran had discovered that eating a delicious meal could be such a comforting experience.
"There are still more than five hours until midnight, we need to go out and buy some things."
"Purchase some items?"
"Yes, the initial Map of World 6 is a primeval forest. We don't have any means of transportation, and we're unfamiliar with that world, so we'll likely waste a lot of time in the primeval forest."
"Therefore, we need to purchase enough food, bottled water, tents, and other daily necessities."
"But how do we bring it in?"
"Have you forgotten my Innate Talent? I have an infinitely large Personal Space."
Jiang Ran was instantly envious. Infinite space, Personal Space? That's too overpowered!
Doesn't this mean that Ling Yi can bring out anything he sets his sights on in the Chosen World?
"Is your Innate Talent related to space?"
"What you're saying is pretty much true."
"Ah, I'm so envious! I wish I had an Infinite Space like that too."
"Trust me, it will happen. Later, we'll just go to any fantasy, martial arts, or the Myth World and get a bunch of spatial rings."
"It's not as easy as you say."
The two left the room chatting and laughing, heading to a nearby shop.
A set of pots and pans, a gas stove and a bunch of gas cylinders, a set of chairs and benches, and a few outdoor tents...
The two of them buy whatever they see, as long as they feel they might use it in the future.
Of course, Jiang Ran paid for it; Ling Yi didn't have much money on him right now.
Ling Yi didn't say much about it, nor did he seem embarrassed.
Regardless of whether the two of them can actually end up together in the future, Ling Yi believes that he can give Jiang Ran more. These things are best kept in his heart.
In three hours, the two spent over 100,000 yuan before finally heading back, still feeling quite unsatisfied.
As soon as Ling Yi entered the residential area, he received a notification from his Personal Space Assistant Sprite.
"There are 21 targets nearby that are hostile to the host."
Ling Yi paused, startled, and stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about what else I haven't bought yet!"
"Oh, many shops are closed. I'll have to wait until next time."
Back in her room, Jiang Ran went to take a shower, while Ling Yi looked on with murderous intent.
"It must be Jin Wanqi. I didn't expect that fat guy to be so Wind Walk. Or, is it Jin Zhiqiang's idea?"
Ling Yi's Absolute Defense is always activated, so he is not worried about anyone attacking him.
Ling Yi's previous line of thinking was actually flawed.
He kept thinking about how to Object Control attacks, but in reality, any attack requires potential energy.
Personal Space can absorb any energy, and potential energy is naturally a type of energy.
For example, if an opponent throws a punch, that punch must carry a strong potential energy to be effective. Once that potential energy is absorbed, the punch will have no effect.
The fist will stop abruptly once it enters a radius of five meters.
The same principle applies to other Physics attacks.
But Ling Yi wouldn't give the other party a chance to make a move.
With that thought in mind, Ling Yi walked out of the room.
You have to give the other person a chance to get closer to you.
Upon seeing Ling Yi appear downstairs alone, the men sent by Jin Wanqi rushed forward without saying a word, preparing to forcibly knock Ling Yi unconscious and take him away.
But the next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded: everyone who approached within five meters of Ling Yi suddenly vanished.
By the time the people behind realized something was wrong, it was too late. Ling Yi charged straight at them, and in the blink of an eye, the 21 people vanished from the world.
Just then, the voice of the Assistant Sprite rang out.
"Host, you can Deprivation these people of their vital essence, condense their Life Origin, refine their memories, and generate Skill Imprint. As for generating Bloodline Imprint, forget it; they're all human, it's meaningless."
" The Life Origin, the Skill Imprint, the Bloodline Imprint!" Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
" The Life Origin can help the host complete evolution, Skill Imprint can instantly learn the skills possessed by these people, and Bloodline Imprint can Fusion the target's bloodline."
The Assistant Sprite provided a brief introduction.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Receive!"
The next moment, the 21 corpses in the Personal Space vanished into thin air, replaced by 21 pale purple beads and more than a dozen semi-transparent square runes with special patterns.
The pale purple beads are the Life Origin, and the translucent square runes are Skill Imprint.
However, Ling Yi did not choose to use it now, but planned to do so after entering the Chosen World.
After glancing around, Ling Yi gave a cold smile, turned around, and went upstairs.
He didn't know if anyone around had seen what was happening, but Ling Yi no longer cared.
Having such a powerful cheat ability and keeping it hidden—what's the difference between that and secretly wearing fine clothes in the dark?
Although Ling Yi doesn't openly tell everyone how amazing he is, he doesn't deliberately try to be low-key either.
Anyone who disagrees, come within five meters and see what happens!
By the way, why is it only five meters? Can this range be increased?
The Assistant Sprite's answer was that as Ling Yi's Divine Power increased, the range would naturally increase as well.
"Additionally, please note that within a 10-meter radius, you can Instant Transmission to any location."
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me this feature existed sooner?"
"Since Personal Space can pinpoint the coordinates of other worlds and break through spatial barriers, why can't it do something as simple as Teleportation?"
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment. Damn it, it turned out he had been narrow-minded.
This feature is very important to Ling Yi.
Although he can only Teleportation 5 meters at a time, Ling Yi can Teleportation infinitely.
Most importantly, Ling Yi could easily achieve flight Earth Escape through this method, couldn't he?
Just as Ling Yi was excitedly researching the new functions of his Personal Space...
Across from the residential complex, a figure quietly left, went to a corner, and then took out a phone.
"Boss, things have taken a turn for the worse. The target isn't an ordinary person; he's awakened an extremely powerful Innate Talent. We can't determine what that talent is yet, but it's suspected to be related to space."
"Yes, I'm sure. I didn't dare record a video, worried about being discovered. But there should be surveillance cameras in this neighborhood... Okay... I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the man glanced warily into the residential area before driving away.
At midnight, in the living room, Ling Yi and Jiang Ran exchanged a glance.
"Are you ready?" Ling Yi asked.
Jiang Ran nodded.
At this moment, their hands were clasped together, a gesture by Ling Yi to prevent the random Teleport mechanism of the Chosen World from separating them.
Ling Yi is not Awakened, therefore, his method of logging into the Chosen World is illegal.
This made Ling Yi slightly nervous.
He wasn't worried about himself, but rather about whether Jiang Ran would encounter problems during the Teleport process.
To this end, he repeatedly confirmed with the Assistant Sprite in his Personal Space.
Only after the Assistant Sprite gave a positive guarantee did Ling Yi feel at ease.
The next moment, the two figures disappeared from their original spot, and the scene shifted to the two appearing in a forest.
Tall trees surrounded us, and the ground beneath our feet was covered with a thick carpet of fallen leaves.
The air was fresh, but it also carried a faint smell of decaying leaves.
They appeared in a remote, primeval forest.
Both of them were somewhat bewildered, especially Jiang Ran, who had no idea what to do next.
This doesn't seem to be a monster-spawning area.
As Chosen One, Jiang Ran has Chosen One Brand on her arm, which looks like a rune.
This rune, exclusive to the Chosen One, has many functions.
For example, users can chat with Chosen One in the same Chosen World, trade remotely, and even have video calls.
There is also Dragon Radar Map exclusive to the Chosen One.
For the Chosen One, the Chosen World is mainly divided into two areas: a monster-hunting area and a story-driven area.
The monster-spawning area has been digitized, with monsters spawning cyclically according to a certain period for players to grind and level up.
The story area, on the other hand, is where the original inhabitants live.
What's the next step?
"Find the Protagonist!" Ling Yi said.
Since this is the story area, the Protagonist shouldn't be too far away.
" Protagonist?"
"Yes, the Protagonist. Every Chosen World has Protagonist, and to advance the plot, you definitely need to interact with the Protagonist."
"Do you know who the Protagonist is?" Jiang Ran asked in surprise.
"Know!"
"However, before that, let's first improve our strength."
As Ling Yi spoke, he took out a handful of pale purple beads...
