Quick Wear: Host, Learn About the Fate-Changing System

"No."

"I don't have one here either."

The two looked at each other and started searching again.

After Su Ruanluo and Fu Shu entered Lingyin Technology, they began to look for the core, but no matter how hard they looked, they could not find it.

[The core of the virtual world can't be as inconspicuous as 'Dream of a Thousand Years', right?]

In the system space, 037 was also trying to find something different, but did not find any problems.

"Wait, Xiao Qi, what did you just say?"

[Huh?] 037 repeated what he had just said, [Host, is there any problem?]

"Xiao Qi, you are awesome!"

Su Ruanluo waved to Fu Shu who was not far away.

"What's wrong?" Fu Shu came over immediately.

"Is it possible that we're overthinking it?" Su Ruanluo asked. "We don't know what the core of the virtual world is. Is it possible that this core is—'A Thousand Years of Dreams'?"

"You mean..."

Fu Shu instantly understood the meaning of Su Ruanluo's words.

"The Thousand Years of Dreams in the real world alone shouldn't be enough to support such a large world. Therefore, there should also be a Thousand Years of Dreams in the virtual world. I just don't know if it's as inconspicuous as in the outside world."

"Anyway, this is one way of thinking." Fu Shu said, "Soft... do you still remember what it looks like?"

"so."

A piece of paper with the words "Dream of a Thousand Years" drawn on it appeared in Su Ruanluo's hand.

"It's indeed inconspicuous." Fu Shu took the drawing paper from Su Ruanluo's hand and started looking again.

"By the way, I guess there might be other spaces here." Su Ruanluo said, "I always feel that the structure here is a bit strange."

"Here." As soon as Su Ruanluo finished speaking, Fu Shu's voice came, "There are indeed other spaces."

With the pressing of the button, a brand new space appeared in front of the two.

"Be careful!"

As soon as the door was opened, Su Ruanluo pulled Fu Shu over, and then the two of them entered the space.

"This……"

Looking at the zombies that kept coming out from inside, Fu Shu in the space was filled with shock.

"Thank you."

Fu Shu was really grateful to Su Ruanluo. If it weren't for Su Ruanluo, he would have been overwhelmed by these zombies!

"Lingyin?" Fu Shu stared at the words on the zombies' clothes. "Are they all from Lingyin Technology?"

"It seems so."

Looking at the zombies, Su Ruanluo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, 037 reminded her, otherwise she would not have reacted so quickly.

but……

Why are there so many researchers from Lingyin Technology here? Thinking back to what 037 said earlier—the development of the virtual world and the real world are in sync, which means...

"Xiao Qi, Lingyin Technology concealed the situation from the beginning, right? They didn't actually control 'Dream Millennium'. They lied to the public for their own benefit!"

at the same time

"Dean, the relevant technical personnel have already found out that Lingyin Technology is where the comatose people first appeared, and..."

"And what?" Qin Si gestured for the person in front of him to continue, "Also, our people found a lot of research data there, and the data showed that everything was caused by a plant."

"plant?"

SN Research Institute has been looking for the reason why so many people fell into coma. At first, they had no idea where to start. Later, they found that a large number of people in coma had purchased medicine from "Lingyin Technology", so they continued to investigate "Lingyin Technology".

I didn't expect that after so long, there would finally be a clue!

"What plant? Are our people affected?"

"When we discovered it, the plant was isolated in a special container, and our people were not affected."

"This is the research data about that plant." The subordinate handed the data to Qin Si. "The data shows that the plant emits a scent that is imperceptible to human sense of smell, and it is this scent that caused those people to fall into a deep sleep."

"Here." Qin Si flipped through the information in his hand and then stopped at a certain place. "The people from 'Lingyin Technology' discovered two substances. One can increase a person's strength, and the other can make a person faint. But they didn't pay much attention to it."

"Yes," the subordinate nodded. "Research shows that the two substances can neutralize each other, but the people from Lingyin Technology, driven by profit, only disclosed the first substance to the public and concealed the second. It was this practice of theirs that led to all this tragedy."

"How can such a good thing happen in this world!" Qin Si closed the information in his hand, his tone full of sarcasm, "Greed never brings good results."

"Is there anyone still awake at 'Spiritual Sound Technology'?"

"No."

"Continue investigating." Qin Si walked over to the device monitoring Yan Wei's brain waves. "By the way, let the higher-ups know about what Lingyin Technology has done. It's time to punish these greedy people."

"Yes!"

virtual reality

K City

[Yes, Lingyin Technology knew from the beginning that their technology could not control Dream Millennium, but they still concealed everything for their own benefit.]

Hearing 037's answer, Su Ruanluo clenched her fists.

"Yan Wei." Fu Shu reached out and pried open Su Ruanluo's clenched hands. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Su Ruanluo came back to her senses and smiled at Fu Shu.

"If you can't laugh, then don't laugh." Fu Shu reached out and smoothed the sadness from Su Ruanluo's eyes, his eyes full of concern and pity.

"I just..." Su Ruanluo sighed, "I didn't expect that greed and profit would be more important than life. Those people would do anything for their own selfish desires, even sacrificing the lives of others. They don't care about the lives of others."

"Some people are just like that." Fu Shu frowned slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He gently held Su Ruanluo's hand and comforted her, "Those people are blinded by desire and greed, and have lost the most basic kindness and conscience of human nature. But, in this world, there are still more good people, aren't there? There are always some people who are willing to selflessly help others. Just like you, obviously these people have nothing to do with you, but you voluntarily enter this unknown world for them."

"Yan Wei, don't get angry for those who don't deserve it. They don't deserve it."

[That's right! Fu Shu is right! Host, let's not get angry over those villains. 037 believes they will receive the punishment they deserve!]

"Thank you, Xiaoqi, for your comfort."

Su Ruanluo first responded to 037, then looked up at Fu Shu, "You're right, they really aren't worth my anger."

"So, are you ready?"

"of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning struck, and the zombies fell to the ground in a flash. Su Ruanluo and Fu Shu appeared in the depths of that new space.

[Host, I sense a different aura.]

"Guide the way."

Under the guidance of 037, Su Ruanluo and Fu Shu saw plants covered by special devices not far away.

"Tell me, which base are you from?" Wen Lin played with the dagger in her hand, and in front of her were those people who were still talking big just now.

"I……"

"Think carefully before answering." Wen Lin squatted down, the dagger at the neck of the person who spoke, "Otherwise, your fate will be the same as that person over there."

The person who was held down by Wen Lin's dagger looked at the person lying on the ground not far away. That was their leader, who was laughing and joking with them just now, but now he had closed his eyes forever.

They didn't even realize what was happening before this person appeared in front of them. They originally thought it was just a woman. With so many of them, were they really afraid they couldn't handle a woman?

but……

They have no power to fight back at all!

Several people hadn't even made a move when this person appeared behind them. They couldn't beat him at all!

"Have you thought it through?" Wen Lin had lost his patience.

"Think...think it through!" As if sensing Wen Lin's emotions, the man hurriedly said, "Linshan Base! We are from Linshan Base!"

"Go on!" Wen Lin tapped the man's face with a dagger, signaling him to continue.

"Our base commander heard that a very powerful woman appeared in City Z. She possessed a lot of information that the base commander didn't know. To consolidate his position and gain a higher position, the base commander sent people to find her and bring her to Linshan Base at all costs."

"Tsk..." Hearing this person's words, Wen Lin showed a disdainful smile, "With your strength, you still want to catch that person, I don't know what you are thinking."

"Linshan Base, right?" Wen Lin stood up. "I remember it!"

They dared to set their sights on their companions, they must be tired of living! Moreover, even if the woman they were talking about was not Yan Wei, she would not let go of the Linshan Base so easily!

It really is the end of the world, anyone can see it!

At this point, instead of uniting, they're still fighting among themselves for so-called status. It's really...

Wen Lin no longer knew what words to use to express her feelings.

"Did you hear that?" Wen Lin retracted the dagger. As she finished speaking, Lu Feng and the others came out. "What should we do with them? Are we going to kill them?"

"Killing here will attract zombies and alien species." Lu Feng said, "Let's go to another place."

"Okay." Wen Lin walked towards those people with the dagger in hand.

"You take a rest." Liang Li stopped Wen Lin, "Leave it to me and He Xu."

"Okay." Wen Lin nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Ah."

Liang Li and He Xu first knocked those people out to prevent them from attracting zombies by making noise, and then took those people away from this place.

"Tell me, how many people know about Yan Wei's affairs now?" After Liang Li and He Xu left, Wen Lin looked at Lu Feng.

"I'm afraid everyone knows everything they need to know," Lu Feng replied, "but Yan Wei should have anticipated this."

"I think so," Wen Lin agreed. "Given Yan Wei's way of thinking ahead, she must have anticipated all this. But I don't understand why she did this."

"Mingling Base." Lu Feng said, "Do you remember what Yan Wei said before?"

"You mean Yan Wei did this to lure out the people hiding in various bases and the organization's Netherworld Base?"

As members of the Dusk Squad, none of them were stupid. Wen Lin figured everything out in just a moment.

K City

[Host, get out of here!] The moment he saw the plant, 037 suddenly shouted, [That's not the core, it's the mark of the rebel!]

"Walk!"

After hearing what 037 said, Su Ruanluo hurriedly pulled Fu Shu beside her, then used space transfer to leave this place immediately.

And at the moment the two left, a very subtle fluctuation occurred in the space, and then a figure appeared.

"Hmm... running quite fast." Feeling the lingering aura in the space, Qi Ling's face was filled with excitement, with an indescribable sense of strangeness. "It's really... getting more and more interesting!"

[Host, are you okay?] 037's worried voice came, [I'm sorry, I made a mistake in judgment.]

"It's okay." Su Ruanluo comforted 037, "Just take a break. Don't blame Xiaoqi. After all, no one expected that the rebels in this world would make so many preparations."

However, although she said that she was fine, Su Ruanluo's expression was still a little worse than before.

Because after entering K City, he has been using spatial abilities, and the speed of space transfer just now was too fast, which consumed a lot of mental energy. Now Su Ruanluo is temporarily tired.

But in order to comfort 037, Su Ruanluo endured it.

"you……"

Fu Shu discovered something unusual about Su Ruanluo.

Su Ruanluo grabbed Fu Shu's arm and shook her head at him.

"Leave it to me next." Although he didn't understand why Su Ruanluo didn't let him ask, Fu Shu chose to trust the person next to him, "You take a good rest."

"Ah."

【Host……】

037 also discovered that something was wrong with Su Ruanluo, but with Fu Shu around, it couldn't show up and could only worry in the system space.

"Xiao Qi, I'm fine. I just used up a lot of my mental energy."

【Can……】

"Xiao Qi, I still need your help on the rest of the journey. Don't let this affect you."

[I...I understand.] 037's voice was still a little depressed. [Host, I won't let this happen again!]

"Well, I believe Xiao Qi."

"Let me carry you." Fu Shu squatted in front of Su Ruanluo. As if afraid that Su Ruanluo would misunderstand, he added, "Don't get me wrong. I just want us to move faster. Judging from your attitude just now, you must be avoiding someone, right?"

At this moment, because of Su Ruanluo's high-speed movement just now, the two of them have arrived at the outskirts of K City, but they still need to walk some distance before reaching where Lu Feng and the others are.

That's why Fu Shu said that.

"it is good."

Su Ruanluo didn't hesitate and lay on Fu Shu's back.

"I want to rest for a while. Wake me up when it's time."

"it is good."
