This is an abandoned farm estate.

At this moment, a group of Western students are carrying out simple decorations on this dilapidated manor.

Ling Yi's appearance immediately aroused the curiosity of these students.

This is just a very inconspicuous small town in the southern Rice Country, where you rarely see "foreigners," especially people of East Asian descent.

One of the girls, who was sweet-looking and tall, walked over and extended her hand to Ling Yi.

"Hello, my name is Maggie. We're having a party here tonight, would you like to come? There are very few Asians in our town, trust me, you'll be very popular."

"Hello, my name is Ling Yi, I'm from Dragon Country, and I'm a traveler."

Ling Yi shook hands with Maggie, then looked at her with great interest and asked, "Can I participate?"

"Certainly!"

Now, after absorbing a large amount of Life Origin, Ling Yi is gradually evolving towards perfection.

At least in Maggie's eyes, Ling Yi was like an angel descended to earth.

Ling Yi didn't ask any questions, and Maggie began to talk non-stop.

This small town is called Andrew Town.

They were all students at Andrew High School in town.

There aren't many entertainment options in the town.

So, they would hold such parties from time to time. They didn't have any special commemorative significance; they just wanted to have one, and someone encouraged them to, so they did.

Maggie was the organizer of this party.

"You say you're a traveler, so you must have been to many places."

Maggie picked up a can of beer, tossed one to Ling Yi, opened one for herself, took a sip, and then asked...

Maggie was only sixteen years old, an age when she was curious about everything and full of curiosity about the outside world.

"I have indeed been to many places..." Ling Yi was also Bored. The Protagonist hadn't appeared yet, so he didn't mind chatting with this pretty girl for a while.

This world is the world of Chronicle.

Ling Yi had always had a suspicion in his mind.

These Chosen World are clearly real worlds. Regardless of how these worlds came to be, let's just talk about the significance of their existence.

Is it to make the Chosen One stronger? But what is the purpose?

Everything has a cause and an effect.

Turning 30 percent of the world's population into Chosen One must be part of a massive scheme.

But in any case, there are only two conclusions.

Well-intentioned or malicious.

The well-intentioned ones probably aim to make humanity stronger and elevate the entire civilization.

And malicious ones are all sorts of conspiracy theories...

Or rather, what is the purpose of the entity behind this, whether it is passive or active?

Is it a disaster, or... an opportunity?

Ling Yi needs to be tested.

And this world is the first world Ling Yi will test.

These Chosen World each have their own storylines, Ling Yi is eager to see what Changes will occur in these Chosen World once their storylines come to an end.

Ling Yi and Maggie's pleasant conversation naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other male classmates around them.

Maggie was the school's School Belle, the Captain of the cheerleading team, and the goddess in the hearts of countless boys.

As the School Belle, she is usually very aloof, but now she is chatting so happily with a stranger.

This is really annoying.

The girls, on the other hand, were quite envious of Maggie.

Ling Yi incredibly handsome, and his mysterious Eastern identity makes these girls wish they could take his place.

" Maggie, this is a party at our school. Outsiders shouldn't be here," one of the blond youths said to Maggie, clearly displeased.

Maggie stared at him and said, enunciating each word clearly, " Ensi, I'm the one who started this party!"

"But he's an outsider." The young man named Ensi clearly seized on this point.

So, you don't want to go to the party?

Ling Yi looked at Maggie in surprise. It seemed that Maggie had a high reputation at school and her status was probably extraordinary, otherwise she wouldn't have the confidence to speak to others like that.

"I..." Ensi very unhappy and turned to look at Ling Yi.

"Black, yellow-skinned..." However, before he could finish his racist remarks, he felt an extremely terrifying pressure acting on him.

Ling Yi stared at him as if he were already dead, "I hope you watch your words."

" Ensi!" Maggie was also getting a little angry.

"Faker!" Ensi cursed angrily, glaring at Ling Yi before turning and leaving.

Ling Yi looked at Maggie, "It seems I've caused you trouble."

"I'll have my father call his father. Believe me, Ensi isn't going to have a good night."

"Um?"

"My father is the mayor of Andrew Town, and his father is just a Xiaoxiao traffic inspector."

Ling Yi suddenly realized.

But an interesting idea arose in my mind.

Why must the Protagonist be eliminated to end the story? Simply breaking the plot completely and depriving the Protagonist of any opportunities is sufficient.

In fact, Ling Yi had been considering how to end the story.

Killing the Protagonist directly would be the simplest solution, but Ling Yi was also worried that a new Protagonist might appear.

Without Matt, Andrew, and Steve, it's very likely that Matt, Ruit, White, White will appear...

Moreover, although the story world is primarily driven by the main plot, it is, after all, a real world.

It is Chosen World.

Ling Yi needs to follow certain rules; otherwise, he might attract the attention of certain entities.

For example, the Ethereal Void Heavenly Dao, or some hidden gods or... demons?

This is why Ling Yi hasn't taken direct action yet.

Thinking of this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Ling Yi's face.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, Ensi won't dare to cause you any trouble."

"No, that's not it. It's just that I might need your help with something, but it's something very bizarre and hard to believe."

Maggie became interested. "Unbelievable? Tell me about it."

"Do you believe in the existence of some mysterious forces in this world?" Ling Yi asked.

"You're not talking about Ghost or anything like that, are you?"

"No, no, no, something like this..." Ling Yi suddenly loosened his grip on the beer can, but strangely, the beer can didn't fall to the ground; instead, it mysteriously hovered in mid-air.

Maggie wasn't too surprised. Although she spent a long time examining the beer cans but couldn't find the secret to their levitation, she still believed it was just magic.

"How about this?" Ling Yi snapped his the Snap.

The next moment, West City inside the wooden house floated up—plates, apples, cell phones, teacups, drinks... Not only did they float, but they also moved around wildly, causing the surrounding students to scream in fright.

"This... is magic?"

"Oh, Eastern wizard."

"No, the Angel of the East."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

"You..." Maggie was now somewhat doubtful. Could this really be done through magic?

"The reason I came to your town is because a mysterious Crystal is about to be born in your town."

"And this Crystal can Bestowal those who approach it a power similar to mine."

Ling Yi snapped his the Snap again, and everything returned to its original place.

But at this moment, the more than twenty students inside the wooden house all had their eyes fixed on Ling Yi, their gazes burning with desire.

Who wouldn't want that kind of power?

"No side effects? There's no such thing as a free lunch." Maggie was much more clear-headed.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed. If such power could turn people into demons or cause them to lose their minds, that wouldn't seem like a good thing.

"That's the key point I was talking about, and that's why I need your help."

"The power Bestowal by the Mysterious Crystal has no side effects, but the person who gains it may lose control."

"When power gets out of control, the destruction it causes is terrible; it could even destroy this town, or even the world."

"That's what I'm really worried about."

Maggie frowned, and the others also seemed to understand what Ling Yi meant.

Simply put, possessing such immense power might not be a problem for good people, but what about bad people?

If this power is used for evil, the consequences will be terrible.

How can I help you?

"Your father!" Ling Yi said.

" The Mysterious Crystal appeared right here, and it's unstoppable. We either destroy it, or we take control of it!"

"It would be such a waste to destroy such a treasure, so I plan to create a school here specifically to guide and teach those who have gained power how to control it. Only those who pass the test will be allowed to leave the school."

"So you need to persuade your father."

"How do we do it?" Maggie asked earnestly.

"To convert this area into school grounds, I need the mayor's authorization."

Maggie frowned. It sounded simple, but how could her father possibly believe her?

"All you need to do is bring your father here; as long as he witnesses it, that's enough."

Maggie's eyes lit up. That was easy; she could easily find a reason to lure her father over.

"Good!"

Maggie immediately took out her phone and dialed her father's number.

" Mayor John, I've been beaten up... yes, almost disfigured. You need to come and help me get revenge... Where? At that abandoned farm in the suburbs."

After hanging up the phone, she saw Ling Yi give her a thumbs up.

Maggie blushed slightly, a little embarrassed. "This is the most effective method."

At this moment, Ling Yi looked at everyone and said, "In three and a half hours, the Mysterious Crystal will appear. Students, you can choose to leave or wait."

No one wanted to leave; some were even secretly texting their friends, urging them to come quickly.

About twenty minutes later, new students kept joining, and soon the number exceeded one hundred.

Three kilometers away from the farm, the three Protagonist of this world— Matt, Andrew, and Steve —have all mysteriously collapsed in the roadside bushes.
