When a game allows for unlimited spending of in-game currency, the game world completely loses its fairness.
But does it matter? For Ling Yi, it doesn't matter at all.
He's not here to help anyone.
For Ling Yi, the game world was merely a tool to become stronger, and all the players in the game were nothing more than tools for Ling Yi to harvest experience points.
Therefore, Ling Yi was very reluctant to deal with those plot characters.
Tony's appearance was a complete accident. Although Tony did provide Ling Yi with a lot of help, Ling Yi genuinely disliked this guy.
Ling Yi believed that, given Tony's personality, he must be secretly building an " Anti-Ling Yi Armor."
Over the next two weeks, the number of players in the game increased significantly.
The more players there are, the faster Ling Yi accumulates experience points; the faster the experience points accumulate, the faster the Player Mark spreads.
A perfect virtuous cycle.
However, the game Map has a limited capacity.
For example, Rogue Encampment can accommodate up to one million players.
Therefore, Ling Yi needs to expand the Map.
Once you have 1 billion experience points, double the Map size, then increase the number of players. Once the map reaches saturation, continue expanding Map... and repeat this process continuously.
In the past two weeks, the game Map has expanded more than a thousand times, enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of players, and the current number of players has reached more than three million.
By this time, a considerable number of players had already entered Lut Gholein grind monsters.
With over three million players, Ling Yi can gain nearly one hundred million experience points every second.
However, the spread of Player Mark has slowed down.
The main reason is that Nick has taken control of the entire Big Apple City, which limits the expansion speed of the Player Mark.
In Nick's view, too many players are definitely not a good thing; if the players get out of control, the real world will likely descend into complete chaos.
However, such Physics limitations are actually not very meaningful.
The Ugly Nation is a "free" country where people can be poor and homeless, but if you take away my "freedom," then no matter who it is, I will fight you to the death.
In Nick's office at S.H.I.E.L.D.., he frowned as he stared at the large number of red dots on his Computer screen.
"What are your thoughts?" Nick asked Coulson.
"No, we can't stop it for long; it will only drive people even crazier," Coulson said, shaking his head.
"Haven't you found Ling Yi yet?"
Natasha shrugged. "He was supposedly seen in the Ancient Country a day ago. As for now, he might be in the Camel Country, or he might be in the Lobster Kingdom. Who knows?"
"Is he hiding from us?" Nick asked, his face grim.
"But why should we look for him? It's pointless!" Natasha said coldly.
Ever since learning that S.H.I.E.L.D.. was formerly Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D.., Natasha has always believed in Nick and considered S.H.I.E.L.D.. her home.
And what happened? Who knows if she was on a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D.. or for Hydra, or if she was helping Hydra all along.
We need to know his purpose.
"Boss, instead of keeping an eye on Ling Yi, why don't we go talk to Tony?" Coulson suggested.
"I've already spoken to him, but he refuses to answer any questions about Ling Yi."
"What do you think Ling Yi's purpose is? With his strength, no one in the world can rival him right now. Nick, you're always like this; you don't trust anyone, including us."
Natasha paused, then suddenly said, "I've decided to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.."
After saying that, Natasha threw her identification documents onto the table.
"This place disgusts me. Look at these hands, they're stained with the blood of countless innocent people. Nick, it's all your fault."
Watching Natasha's departing figure, Nick murmured, "I've always trusted you."
Natasha responded by raising her middle finger.
"Boss, this..."
"Damn Hydra!" Nick's face darkened further.
He didn't blame Natasha, because he understood Natasha; she was a woman who had crawled out of blood and Hell, and had endured countless hardships.
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D.., S.H.I.E.L.D. practically made it her faith. Now that her faith Collapse, anyone would be angry and disappointed.
"Boss, what should we do about Thor? He wants to see Loki, but Loki doesn't want to see him. Thor thinks we hid Loki."
"Then what?"
"I sent him to find Ling Yi!" Coulson said with a gentle smile.
Nick nodded in satisfaction; Dong's use of this tactic was quite effective.
Finding someone in Asgard is quite simple; Heimdall's eyes can see through the Nine Realms.
Moreover, Ling Yi wasn't hiding himself at all; he simply didn't want to deal with people from S.H.I.E.L.D..
At this moment, Ling Yi and Wang are having breakfast at a tea restaurant in Hong Kong.
"I've eaten at every tea restaurant in Hong Kong, and this is the best one," Wang strongly recommended to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi nodded. Putting everything else aside, the soup dumplings here are truly exceptional.
"Your Majesty, were your temple Mage cultivating by borrowing the power of Demon God from other dimensions?"
"It's just a transaction. We won't Borrow forever. Once our strength reaches a certain level, we will no longer rely on the power of the Dimensional Demon God."
"Of course, most Mage have limited magical Magic Power due to their aptitude. If they cannot repay the borrowed Magic Power, they may end up working for dimensional Demon God for the rest of their lives."
Wang leaned closer to Ling Yi and whispered, "Those dimensional Demon God are a bunch of Life Steal. Their interest rates are terrifyingly high. It took me a full ten years to finally pay them off."
"From which dimension do you usually borrow Magic Power from Demon God? Vishanti?"
"Yes, we basically only borrow from Vishanti; the other dimensional Demon God are even more corrupt than Vishanti." Wang made no attempt to hide his contempt for those dimensional Demon God.
Ling Yi couldn't help but think of the Dark Dimension, which was currently being drained of its dark power, and chuckled as he asked, "Is it possible to borrow and not repay?"
"What you up to?"
"I want to conduct an experiment. If you cooperate, I can give you a Plunder Necklace."
Wang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of experiment? Make it clear first, it can't be anything too outrageous!"
"Borrow as much Magic Power as possible from the dimensional Demon God, then enter the game world."
"Then what?"
There's no "then". You'll naturally know how to choose when the time comes.
"Offending a dimensional Demon God is not a good thing." Although Wang was tempted, he still reminded Ling Yi.
As for himself, he didn't care. He had decent aptitude and his cultivation speed wasn't slow. Even if he borrowed the power of the dimensional Demon God, he could repay it in a very short time.
He was just worried that Ling Yi would provoke a dimensional Demon God because of this.
"Do you think they're going to come and beat you up?"
"It's not impossible, but they generally wouldn't do that. Dimensional invasion is no simple matter, and with the Sorcerer Supreme around, they wouldn't dare to invade."
"Let's try it first and see."
If Ling Yi could extract energy from other Demon God and convert it into experience points, he would have more ways to gain experience points.
Just then, a beam of colorful light pierced through the roof of the restaurant. As the beam disappeared, Thor, wearing a red cloak, emerged from it.
After scanning his surroundings, he walked straight toward Ling Yi and Wang.
"They came for you?" Ling Yi looked at Wang.
"I think it's aimed at you," Wang said with a shrug.
"Oh, so they really are here for me." A green glint flashed in Ling Yi's eyes as he muttered with a cold laugh.
"Tell me where Loki is!" Thor shouted as he approached Ling Yi.
A green light flashed in Ling Yi's hand, and the damaged roof instantly returned to its original state.
The next moment, a black hole appeared out of nowhere and swallowed Thor.
Watching the black hole slowly close, Wang exclaimed, "You've actually mastered the Mirror Dimension to such an extent?"
"Didn't you know that the Mage class has an additional spatial skill tree? I can just allocate skill points directly; it's not difficult for me."
"As expected of the master of the game world."
" The Ancient One actually told you all this?"
Wang shook his head and said, "No, I just guessed. You might not know, but I noticed you a long time ago, ever since you first used magic in Hell's Kitchen."
"But the Sorcerer Supreme only instructed me to keep an eye on your movements, not to disturb you."
"It wasn't until I entered the game world that I connected it with you. You know, the Sorcerer Supreme rarely values someone this much."
"Go do the experiment first!" Ling Yi wasn't surprised by this and didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer.
Since the Ancient One didn't interfere with him, it means that the Ancient One didn't consider him an enemy, and that's enough.
"Fine, you promised me the Plunder Necklace. I don't have a billion dollars."
Ling Yi nodded, then his Ying Yi and he entered the Mirror Dimension.
At this moment, Thor was wildly hammering everything in sight, roaring repeatedly, looking like a crazed Beast.
"You've got plenty of energy. Let's talk about it when you've calmed down."
Is this the Prince of Asgard? The future king of Asgard? I wonder how Odin raised Thor.
Upon seeing Ling Yi appear, Thor threw his hammer at Ling Yi without saying a word, but it was all for naught. Before the hammer could hit him, Ling Yi had already left the Mirror Dimension.
At the same time, millions of Space Battleship are flying at extremely high speeds through the outer asteroid belt of the Solar System, past Neptune, and heading towards Earth.
Inside the lead, massive triangular spaceship, Ronan the Accuser stood in the command module, staring toward the center of the Solar System.
He held a scepter in his left hand and a warhammer in his right.
The scepter is the Mind Scepter that appeared in the Avengers, with the famous Mind Stone embedded at its top.
The warhammer in his right hand was inlaid with a purple cesium Power Stone.
Behind him stood six former Guardians of the Galaxy members: Star-Lord, Rocket, Gamora, Groot, and Drax.
Their eyes were mostly dark-circled, a sign that they were being controlled by the Mind Stone.
Clearly, compared to the original storyline, the Guardians of the Galaxy have failed miserably, and the victor is Ronan the Accuser.
Ronan was able to win precisely because of the Mind Scepter he held.
This was temporarily given to him by Thanos, with the same purpose as Loki's: to test Earth's strength and, incidentally, to steal the Space Stone.
Compared to the other gems, Thanos valued the Space Stone the most.
With the Space Stone, his army's mobility will be greatly enhanced.
"I heard your home planet is Earth?" Ronan asked, turning to Star-Lord Peter Quill.
"Yes, sir!"
What is the level of civilization in your hometown? What methods do you think we should use to conquer this planet more quickly?
"My lord, that is a very backward planet. Humans haven't even left the Solar System yet. We only need to demonstrate sufficient Combat to make them submit to you."
"Good suggestion!"
Ronan didn't take Earth seriously either; he was more worried about Odin, the God King.
Even after they entered the Milky Way, Odin remained silent, which relieved Ronan.
