Chapter 18 Foreseeing the future

Chapter 18 Foreseeing the future
Wheel wheel wheel wheel...

The carriage shook, and Wang Xi leaned against the wooden board and closed his eyes.

Words spit out from the cracks in my mind:

"The Projection Has Arrived"

World: Fairy Tale

Exploration: 0.34%

Legend Level: 0

"Do you want to end this journey and retire completely?"

'Legendary? Retired?'

Wang Xi looked at the extra entries and hints, quite surprised, but also somewhat puzzled.

"There was nothing like this before..."

"Legendary Degree: Achievements, reputation, influence, and legendary status projected onto another world. Gained only by guiding or participating in historical events, or defeating powerful enemies (legendary figures or creatures). When Legendary Degree reaches a certain level, a corresponding tier of "Legendary Treasure Chest" will be awarded."

"Retreat: Permanent trusteeship. You will receive a corresponding "Retreat Chest" based on your exploration and legend points, but you will lose your right to descend. (Retreat is irreversible, so choose carefully!)"

Wang Xi suddenly understood.

The so-called retreat here is actually similar to the "early ending" in some word games.

If there are any omissions during the game or the plot deviates from the good ending, you can choose to "end early". At that time, the plot will be further deduced until the ending is presented.

The deduction process includes some plot clues, and starting over will make it easier to get a good ending.

But the difference is that once the projection disappears, it is irreversible and will never be eligible to come again.

"Who would retire right after leaving the Novice Village?!"

Wang Xi secretly complained.

At this time, his attention was focused on retreat, and the crack in his mind representing Caius opened slightly, and a dreamy colorful light bloomed.

In a moment——

A series of blurry images flashed by like a kaleidoscope.

Wang Xi was suddenly startled.

"Retreat Preview: You and Goldarille traveled to the Stag Kingdom's capital, but the caravan was ambushed on the outskirts of the capital."

"The guards suffered heavy casualties. You fought hard to survive, but you were also seriously injured. During that time, Godalil blocked a fatal sword for you and fell in your arms."

"You were shocked to find that Godalil's eyes had turned gray, like a pair of dull gemstones."

"A passing bard discovered you and took Goldaril away, promising to rescue her. He then transformed into a whirlwind and vanished before your eyes."

"You protected the important goods of the Spinning Wheel Merchants Guild, and the surviving Steward White rewarded you with a large sum of money. However, your injuries were so severe that you became disabled, and you had no choice but to endure the pain while searching for a way to break the curse in the capital."

"A few months later, you found nothing. Instead, you witnessed Queen Siana's grand wedding and a meteorite-like fire falling from the sky..."

"You died in the fire."

"As you were dying, a familiar figure appeared before you again. Godalil, wearing a gray dress, held up your body, crying hysterically."

"She rushed towards the girl in the red dress who created the flames, intending to avenge you. However, Cinderella, who had just mastered her magical powers, was no match for the girl in the red dress, and she and you were ultimately burned to ashes."

Wang Xi woke up from a vision that predicted the future.

He was filled with astonishment.

I will die in the capital? !
Died in a fire from the sky!
Godalil avenged him and died for love!

'Not only that! This retreat preview is like foreseeing the future, and it also hides a lot of useful information!'

Wang Xi immediately took it seriously.

First of all, this team from the Spinning Wheel Merchant Guild will be ambushed in the suburbs near the royal capital. The enemy has obviously planned this and is very powerful.

The guards suffered heavy casualties and were unable to resist. Goldarelle was on the verge of death in this incident and was saved by a passing bard.

Secondly, Godalil does not seem to be an ordinary person. When she reappears several months later, she has mastered magic.

"Cinderella..."

Wang Xi chewed over the name in his heart.

Could it be the "Cinderella" in his impression?

After all, this is a fairy tale world.

However, all the signs and details make it impossible to match Godarille with the fairy tale character we know, and we can't even find any similarities.

Finally, who was the girl in the red dress who caused the terrible fire? Why did she attack the Queen at her wedding? And the bard...

All kinds of questions lingered in Wang Xi's mind.

He took a deep breath.

"I refuse to retire. Caius, take me back first."

...

When Wang Xi returned from the other world, it was already past three in the afternoon. The slightly dim sunlight from outside the window shone into the living room, tinting the surroundings orange and yellow.

"call……"

He opened his eyes, took a long breath, sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples.

I descended into the fairy tale world in the form of a projection and spent two and a half days there, while only more than seven hours had passed in the main world.

He was a little tired mentally.

Gululu...

At this moment, a hungry whine came from my stomach.

"Now that things have come to this, let's order first."

Wang Xi smiled, took out his mobile phone, and was about to open the ordering platform, but found a red exclamation in the chat software.

It's an unread message.

When I clicked on it, I saw that the sender's avatar was a cartoon image of a silly goose, and his nickname was "Xiao Nai".

"Brother Xi, long time no see. I'm back in Gucheng. Do you want to meet me tomorrow? (Cute smiley face)"

Xiao Nai?

Wang Xi's eyes were confused.

But soon, the image of a young girl's fair and delicate face surfaced in his mind. Her cascading black hair was streaked with a streak of silver. When they were young, Wang Xi often teased her by calling her "Nana Gray," which always made her feel wronged and frustrated.

A pair of light blue eyes emerged, and it was these eyes that left the deepest impression on me. Their gentleness was tinged with a subtle hint of melancholy and determination.

And the teardrop mole at the corner of the eye.

"Chunai..."

Wang Xi murmured.

"She's back from graduation?"

Chu Nai is his true childhood sweetheart.

Both of their parents are researchers at the Labyrinth Research Institute, which is why they have known each other since childhood.

Unfortunately, their parents also died in the same accident.

They became orphans who shared the same suffering.

Kindergarten, primary school, middle school...

Chunaidu was in the same school with him.

But unlike Wang Xi's "stupidity", this childhood sweetheart has shown extraordinary learning talent since childhood. Her grades have always been among the best, and she has also received much attention from the school.

At that time, Wang Xi copied her homework a lot.

When he was in college, Chunai, who was only fifteen years old, passed layers of selection and examinations, was selected by Dongzhou University and was recommended for further studies.

After traveling thousands of kilometers, they lost contact. For the past four years, there was only a blank space between them.

"Okay, where shall we meet?"

Wang Xi withdrew his thoughts and sent a message on his mobile phone.

Almost the next second after the message was sent, there was a beep and the other party replied:

"What took you so long to reply?"

Beep, vibration again.

"Are you spending time with your girlfriend?"

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows.

Second reply...

He glanced at the time the first message was sent, which was a little after 1 p.m. He waited two hours to reply, but the other party replied instantly, which could only mean one thing—

Chunai stayed glued to his phone.

After all, in Wang Xi's impression, Chunai didn't like playing with her phone. To her, it was just a communication tool, and she usually used her free time to study and read.

"I was taking a nap just now."

Wang Xi sent a message and told a lie.

beep.

The phone popped up a reply:
"oh oh."

After a while.

beep.

"Then your girlfriend won't mind if you come out and meet me?"

Looking at the phone, Wang Xi couldn't help but smile.

With his level, how could he not see the other party's little thoughts.

"It's okay. Just don't tell her."

Wang Xi felt a little playful and replied.

Then, he went out and ordered takeout.

He still ordered a meal from the nearby "Cranky Sweetheart", but this time he didn't dare to be so extravagant and just chose a work meal worth about 50 credit points.

Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup. Please note that a boxed lunch is available extra.

Wang Xi didn’t know if it was because of the “Randall Body Building Method”, but he felt that his appetite had increased.

After ordering the food, he switched back to the chat app.

Chunai never responded.

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows.

He thought about it and clicked "Video Chat" directly.

beep--

Only a few seconds passed.

With a click, the video was connected.

Wang Xi looked at the phone screen and was stunned.

He saw a girl with silver hair, staring at him in a trance. Her pale blue eyes were as gentle as ever, and even the melancholy beneath them had not disappeared.

But at this moment, the girl's eyes were red.

Wang Xi realized something.

"Xiao Nai?" he tried to call out.

The silver-haired girl woke up as if from a dream.

She screamed and quickly turned her head away.

"Brother Xi, you...are still the same as before, nothing has changed."

The girl's voice was very soft, like white clouds on a sunny day.

It is also like a stream, clear and tranquil.

"Really?" Wang Xi smiled. "You've changed quite a lot. Your hair has turned all silver."

"Um……"

Chunai whispered.

"It's because of the 'stigmata'."
