In a dilapidated temple Fuzhou City.
Gao Liu stared grimly at the new task on his system interface.
"What the hell are you? What's your purpose? Don't fucking play dead, come out and talk to me!"
"First you told me to kill Yu Canghai, now you're telling me to kill Zuo Lengchan. I'm just an ordinary person now, are you expecting me to go and beg Zuo Lengchan to kill himself?"
"Besides, what legitimate system would so readily eliminate its host? You might as well give me a mission to kill myself; that would be much more satisfying."
"Playing dead, huh? Fine, I quit. You're going to eliminate me? Come on, eliminate me!"
A cold voice suddenly echoed in Gao Liu's mind, "Hmph, ant, since you are so eager to die, then I will grant your wish."
Gao Liu was shocked, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain from the depths of his soul, and the next moment, his consciousness was plunged into darkness.
By the time Ling Yi arrived at the dilapidated temple, Gao Liu was already dead, his soul scattered, and the mysterious consciousness had also vanished.
"Have they already discovered my presence?" Ling Yi frowned, feeling quite displeased.
Two failed Capture at the start, which is a bit embarrassing.
Since the Capture failed, Ling Yi naturally lost the will to stay in this world any longer.
He glanced at Dongfang Bai beside him and asked, "I'm leaving, what about you...?"
Dongfang Bai frowned.
Seeing this expression, Ling Yi felt a chill in his heart and gave a bitter smile, "It seems I was presumptuous."
For some reason, I feel a strong aversion to you!
Dongfang Bai's words immediately made Ling Yi realize that, yes, to this world, he was an outsider, like a Computer virus.
Although this world lacks the Heavenly Dao, it doesn't mean it lacks antivirus software.
Dongfang Bai belongs to this world, and is the Protagonist of its Karmic Luck, representing his own world.
In other words, these Protagonist of Karmic Luck are like the antivirus software of this world.
How could antivirus software not reject a virus like this?
As for why Alice doesn't reject Ling Yi?
No, Alice also felt a sense of repulsion towards Ling Yi, but Ling Yi wasn't attracted to Alice, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"If you can stay, perhaps we can spend our lives together," Dongfang Bai said again.
Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Ling Yi felt better, which proved that Dongfang Bai had feelings for him.
"Have a drink with me!" Ling Yi said with a wry smile.
It was impossible for them to stay; Ling Yi understood this, and so did Dongfang Bai.
In the real world, Ling Yi had been holed up in his rented apartment for a whole day.
" Ling Yi, it's just a breakup, it's not a big deal, you'll get used to it!"
White Queen, with her little hands behind her back, dangled in front of Ling Yi, shaking her little head, looking like a hopeless case.
"Are you even listening to human speech? What do you mean by 'you'll get used to it'? My feelings for Dongfang Bai are just sentimental. Do you even understand what sentimentalism is?"
"Excuses? Reasons? You dare say you weren't tempted?"
"No, I like many characters, that's not what it means to be smitten!"
"Also, are you very free? How's the game company doing? Have you finished settling on the ecological base in Yang Token Space?"
Why is White Queen becoming more and more like a brat?
"The game company is operating normally, with stable revenue. The ecological base is still under construction, but we're running low on materials and need to purchase a batch!"
"No, the last large-scale purchase already attracted some attention. It's better to keep a low profile in the real world."
"But how do we solve the material problem? There's a huge shortage right now."
"Are you so overloaded with junk data that you've forgotten how to use your brain? Materials can be easily sourced in other worlds, why insist on buying them in the real world?"
White Queen's face flushed instantly. Yes, how could she not have thought of such a simple question? Could it really be that there was too much junk data in the memory?
No, I need to clean this up; the White Queen's figure has vanished.
After White Queen's antics, Ling Yi's initially depressed mood dissipated considerably.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Ling Yi curled his lip and hung up the phone. These little trash were here to show off their achievements again?
I checked the time, and it was indeed time for my high school reunion.
Every August, there are three class reunions: junior high school reunion on the Number Five, high school reunion on the Number Ten, and university reunion on the 20th.
Is it just as we agreed? Yes, it's exactly as we agreed.
The person who connects these three gatherings is the same person: Ling Yi's class monitor and School Belle in junior high school, class monitor and School Belle in high school, and student council member and School Belle in college, Feng Yuxi!
A woman with social anxiety disorder.
Ling Yi, however, felt a strong aversion to her, even disgust.
If Zhao Xiaowei was forced to bow to life's pressures, then this woman is simply morally corrupt.
During her university years, she successfully navigated relationships with the university president and several children of wealthy and powerful families. Pretty impressive, right?
What's even more incredible is that, even Later these sworn enemies became aware of each other's existence, they were still able to coexist peacefully.
Ling Yi didn't know how this woman acted; he simply didn't understand.
But Ling Yi knew one thing for sure: the best choice with this kind of woman was to keep her at a distance.
Class reunions, those who know, know. To sum it up in three words: embarrassing, boasting, and awkward!
In the past, Ling Yi would have had no choice but to participate, even if he didn't want to, otherwise those guys in the classmate group would have bullied him to death.
When the phone rang again, marked by Ling Yi as "class monitor," Ling Yi answered it with a dark expression.
" Ling Yi, the Acquired..."
"Busy, something came up, can't go!" Ling Yi said quickly, hung up the phone, and then blocked the other party.
Not only that, Ling Yi also deleted Feng Yuxi's Microchat and left all class groups.
You want to use yourself as a background image? Pshaw!
Seriously, with such a great face-slapping plot, why doesn't Ling Yi go and participate?
There are different levels of slapping someone in the face. Ling Yi is now the King Yama, dealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes. Wouldn't it be beneath him to slap these little kalami in the face?
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang again; it was the landlord calling.
" Ling Yi, are you going to rent it again next quarter?"
"Rent it!" Although Ling Yi had money now, he had lived in this rented room for six years and was used to it, so he was too lazy to move.
"I'm letting you know in advance that starting next month, the rent will increase by Wu Bai per month!"
"Brother Lin, are you sure it's not fifty but Wu Bai?" Ling Yi asked, somewhat dumbfounded. This tiny place, less than forty square meters, dares to raise the price by Wu Bai hundred at a time?
Are you crazy?
"Everyone's raising rents, I can't just not raise mine, otherwise people will say I'm disrupting the market."
"You're right, I'm not renting it!"
Ling Yi was too lazy to argue with him and hung up the phone. She figured she might as well take this opportunity to buy a house.
After throwing West City into the Yang Token Space, Ling Yi turned and went downstairs.
Shuihe City is not a first-tier city; it falls between a second- and third-tier city, with a population of over nine million.
Average salaries are not high, but the cost of living is on par with first-tier cities.
Ling Yi has lived in this city for six years, and his only feeling is indifference and busyness.
Over the course of six years, Ling Yi had become familiar with almost every corner of Shuihe City, but he had rarely observed the city with such a leisurely mindset as he did today.
Traffic jams, Haste crowds, cold skyscrapers, and a gloomy sky.
Ling Yi reflected on his experiences over the past six years and finally came to a conclusion: if it weren't for his golden finger descending upon him, even if he were given another sixteen or sixty years, he would probably still be the same old guy.
"Sure enough, people with nothing better to do than make random, Jill pronouncements!"
He'an Residential Complex Sales Office!
A young staff member was mechanically explaining the property development to Ling Yi.
"Our He'an Residential Complex is divided into Upper He'an District and Lower He'an District. Lower He'an District is further divided into four sections: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Azure Dragon District has the best geographical location..."
Although it was somewhat perfunctory, it was professional enough.
"What about Upper He'an District?" Ling Yi asked.
"Brother, Upper He'an District is a villa area!" the young man said simply.
"Are you a new employee?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, I've only been here for two months and haven't closed a single deal yet!" the young man said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Give me a detailed introduction to Upper He'an District. A good introduction will get you your first order!"
The young man's expression didn't Changes much; he clearly didn't believe Ling Yi's words.
However, I still gave a detailed introduction to the situation in Upper He'an District.
" Upper He'an District has the largest area, but it only has thirty-six detached villas..."
Two hours later, the young man, feeling dizzy, escorted Ling Yi out of the sales office.
Ling Yi not only bought a villa in Upper He'an District, but also the most expensive one, costing a full 65 million.
Sixty-five million, how much was my commission again...?
The reason Ling Yi bought the most expensive villa was not for any other reason than that it was already fully renovated and was a high-end, ready-to-move-in property.
Ling Yi didn't care about the decorating style at all; it was just a place to live, so as long as it was comfortable, that was fine with him.
The villa is very large, with three floors, a separate yard, and a separate underground garage.
However, cleaning such a large villa every day is quite a hassle.
Should I hire someone to clean? But I have secrets to keep, and I don't trust outsiders to do that.
"Forget it, let's just use clones!"
They run their own game company using clones, and they're doing just fine, aren't they?
" White Queen!" Ling Yi called out.
"Learn!"
The next moment, a dazzling burst of colorful light flashed, and ten women dressed in black suits appeared in front of Ling Yi.
"These special effects are really..."
All ten women had East Asian features and were very beautiful.
"These people have already had their identities sorted out. They were originally going to be sent to the game company, but their public relations team is desperately short-staffed," White Queen explained to Ling Yi.
"I've now rewritten their memories; from now on, they'll be your personal butler and bodyguard."
"Alright, this arrangement is good. Kneel down and leave!"
White Queen rolled her eyes. Used and then thrown away, what a scumbag!
Ling Yi threw himself onto the sofa in the living room, took out his phone to watch videos and play games, seemingly no different from his previous life, except that he had changed his place of residence.
The next morning, Ling Yi suddenly felt like going for a run.
Whether he exercises or not is meaningless to him; he mainly wants to experience what it's like to run in a villa area.
Then get to know the surrounding neighbors. According to what that young man said yesterday, several celebrities live here.
The young man didn't dare say who it was, saying that a confidentiality agreement had been signed.
Ling Yi was very curious about this.
However, not long after Ling Yi ran out, instead of seeing any celebrities, he spotted a familiar figure.
This is a woman with a great figure and beautiful face; most men who see her can't help but swallow hard.
She was dressed very lightly, with a towel draped over her shoulder, indicating she had been running for a while; her face was covered in sweat.
But when Ling Yi saw her, he frowned. What was this woman doing here?
Upon seeing Ling Yi, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief; clearly, she was even more surprised than Ling Yi.
" Ling Yi? What are you doing here?"
" Feng Yuxi?"
Damn, how could I run into this?
