Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

[Omnipotent Mage: Zhang Chulan, you can buy a Heavenly Treasure that increases internal energy and consume it to see if it has any effect.]

Lin Yu offered Zhang Chulan a suggestion.

The energy that Zhang Chulan cultivates in his world is called "Qi," which is probably not the same as internal force, but both belong to life energy. Therefore, the treasures that are effective for internal force are likely also effective for Qi. Of course, whether they are truly effective remains to be seen.

[Shameless: I understand, and thank you very much, Brother Lin, for setting the price of these rare and precious herbs so low.]

[Omnipotent Mage: It's nothing, just a win-win situation. Rare treasures aren't very valuable to me, but points are very important.]

Lin Yu set the price of rare and precious materials to be multiplied by one hundred, meaning that rare and precious materials worth ten points would be sold for one thousand points.

This price is quite fair. Lin Yu only made a few times his initial investment. Rare and precious materials are truly priceless to others. The purpose of points is only to gain extra time. In cases like Lin Yu's, the value of points is not actually that high.

Therefore, even if Lin Yu sets the price several times or even ten times higher, it would still be a good deal for others. However, Lin Yu is not a profiteer, so he naturally wouldn't set such a high price.

[The Strongest Wallfacer: By the way, Brother Lin, since you know Xiao Zhang's story, do you know ours?]

When Lin Yu and Zhang Chulan had finished their conversation, Luo Ji suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

[Omnipotent Mage: Yes, I know your story with Frilian.]

[The Strongest Wallfacer: Ah... you really know.]

Luo Ji's feelings were also complicated. He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to actually know.

What will my future be like? It can't be this ordinary forever, after all, I'm the protagonist. I just hope it won't be as eventful as Xiao Zhang's. He's not young anymore and can't afford any more setbacks.

However, no matter what, one must face the future, so Luo Ji asked Lin Yu about the general situation of his future.

[Omnipotent Mage: Let me first talk about Frilian. What I know about Frilian is relatively simple: it's the story of Frilian and her apprentice, Philon, traveling together. There are occasional minor setbacks, but overall it's quite ordinary.]

[Favorite Treasure Chest: ......]

Frillie didn't say anything, but Luo Ji had a bad feeling.

What does it mean to talk about Frillie's story first, since her story is simpler and more mundane, while your own story is neither simple nor mundane?

At this moment, Luo Ji sincerely hoped that his story was a love story, even if it was a bit melodramatic.

[Omnipotent Mage: I read about your story, Luo Ji, in a science fiction novel called "The Three-Body Problem." The novel tells the story of the Trisolarans, whose living environment is extremely harsh, who discover Earth, a planet with a very good environment, and thus prepare to invade it.]

Lin Yu's words shattered Luo Ji's last shred of hope: an alien invasion? This seemed even more troublesome than Xiao Zhang's situation.

[Shameless: What is the main plot of this novel? Is it that when Earth is in dire straits, Professor Luo suddenly appears, defeats the Trisolarans, and prevents their invasion of Earth?]

[Omnipotent Mage: Ahem... Zhang Chulan, 'The Three-Body Problem' is a serious science fiction novel that has won numerous international awards. It's not a web novel, nor is it an American blockbuster.]

[The Strongest Wallfacer: Brother Lin, please tell me the main storyline. I'm just an ordinary person, why did I become the protagonist? Is there any way to avoid it?]

Honestly, Luo Ji just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life. If possible, he would let those great people be the saviors, and he would just help out from the sidelines at most.

[Almighty Mage: Did your colleague Yang Dong commit suicide? Did you attend her funeral or talk to her mother?]

It's normal that Luo Ji doesn't want to be the protagonist; in the novel, he was forced into it. However, if Luo Ji wants to extricate himself, he can't have that conversation with Ye Wenjie.

[The Strongest Wallfacer: Yang Dong committed suicide last week. I spoke briefly with Teacher Ye... What happened?]

[Omnipotent God of Magic: Ye Wenjie was the first person to communicate with the Trisolarans. She knows a secret that is extremely threatening to them, and she has already told you this secret during your conversation. At this time, the Trisolarans have already been monitoring Earth, and in their eyes, you have probably become the most threatening human being.]

At this point, Luo Ji couldn't escape it no matter what, not to mention that the chat group had made him even more abnormal. In any case, Luo Ji couldn't avoid this vortex.

[The Strongest Wallfacer: A secret? What secret? I don't remember Teacher Ye telling me any secret!]

Luo Ji was slightly agitated. He wasn't stupid; he already understood that he seemed unable to avoid it.

[Almighty Archmage: The secret lies in your conversation with Ye Wenjie; you need to figure it out yourself.]

[The Strongest Wallfacer: Is there really no other way? If I figure out this secret, can't I tell it to others?]

[Omnipotent God of Magic: This secret is not only extremely threatening to the Trisolarans, but also to Earth. Essentially, this secret is like a nuclear button that could destroy two civilizations. Are you sure you want to tell this secret to others?]

Luo Ji fell silent, his heart filled with intense conflict and pain. He didn't want to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, but he also didn't want humanity to be wiped out.

[Omnipotent God of Magic: Don't worry too much. The Trisolaran invasion will take at least several hundred years. If I'm still alive by then, I should have the ability to solve this problem. I'll help you then.]

In the span of several hundred years, barring unforeseen circumstances, Lin Yu would have long since become a saint, making the resolution of the Trisolaran crisis a piece of cake.

[The Strongest Wallfacer: Thank you very much!]

Luo Ji breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. The responsibility of saving the world was truly beyond what an ordinary person like him could bear. If Lin Yu was willing to help, that would be even better.

[Omnipotent God of Magic: However, you cannot be careless. Although the Trisolarans will not invade for several hundred years, the battle will not begin for several hundred years. The Trisolarans can monitor the entire globe and also seal off Earth's technology. Influencing humanity is even easier for them. And there is no shortage of traitors among humanity. If you are not careful, you may not even live to see the Trisolarans invade.]

[The Strongest Wallfacer: I understand, I'll be careful.]

[Shameless: Brother Lin, since the Trisolarans won't invade for hundreds of years, how did Professor Luo manage to live until then? Was it genetic technology?]

In fact, Zhang Chulan had many questions he wanted to ask, especially the secret that could determine the survival of two civilizations. What kind of secret could have such power? But after thinking about it, he decided not to ask, because the question was too important.

[The Omnipotent Mage: It's not genetic technology, but cryopreservation technology.]

[Shameless: I see.]

The cryogenic hibernation technology was far more ordinary than Zhang Chulan had expected; he had thought it would be a more advanced, cutting-edge technology found only in science fiction novels.

Zhang Chulan then asked several more questions, more frequently than Luo Ji. Even Frilian was curious about the Trisolarans and asked some questions.

Seeing this, Lin Yu simply gave a brief account of the Three-Body Problem story in the group chat. Zhang Chulan and Frilian listened with great interest and fascination, while Luo Ji felt heavy-hearted because the Trisolarans' technology far surpassed that of Earth!
