In the villa of Imperial Garden in real life
A huge round table is filled with Lin Yi, Zhang Xinying, Tian Ci, and others enjoying a hearty dinner together.
Ouyang Hao jokes while eating:
"Sister Feng, not to be rude, but we’ve been having braised fish for almost a week straight, I feel like I’m growing fish scales."
Zhang Xinying rolls her eyes at him:
"Cooking for you isn’t enough to keep your mouth shut, huh? If you have the guts, don’t eat."
Ouyang Hao looks at Lin Yi and chuckles:
"I’m just curious why Sister Feng loves making fish so much!"
Lin Yi acts like he doesn’t notice Tian Ci’s gaze and quickly spins the round platter:
"If you don’t eat, Zixin and I will. I’m worried it won’t be enough."
As he says this, he swiftly brings the fish dish in front of him.
Seeing Lin Yi’s miserly act, Zhang Xinying bursts into laughter:
"Can you both finish it?"
Lin Yi casually says:
"Of course we can. We can finish it, right, Zixin?"
Wang Zixin sees the fish, her eyes widen, and she quickly nods:
"Mhm, of course, we can!"
At this mont, Guo Shaojie, sitting next to Ouyang Hao, kicks him and complains:
"Why do you talk so much crap? Now I can’t even eat it."
Wang Sijie and Mu Lingxue also glare at him with anger:
"Nice job!"
Ouyang Hao looks innocent:
"Boss, this is too much. I was just joking."
The table is laden with food, but I must admit Zhang Xinying’s braised fish is indeed a rare dish that goes well with the rice.
Seeing Lin Yi hugging the fish dish and eating it heartily with Wang Zixin, Guo Shaojie quickly gets up and says with a smile:
"Boss, I didn’t say anything, Hao Zi (Ouyang Hao) doesn’t want it, I do. Give a piece."
Lin Yi looks at Wang Zixin amusedly:
"Zixin, what do you say, should we give him so?"
Here, probably only Lin Yi and Wang Zixin never get tired of eating fish.
Seeing soone wanting to share the fish, the little girl’s face imdiately shows a reluctant expression.
But despite her reluctance, Zixin ’graciously’ says:
"Then you can only have a small piece."
Seeing the little girl’s face showing reluctance yet trying to be ’gracious’ makes everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, Zhang Xinying suddenly asks Lin Yi:
"Are you tired of eating it?"
Lin Yi is startled and quickly responds:
"How’s that possible? Even if I grew fish scales, I’d want to eat it every day."
Hearing this, Ouyang Hao smirks and says:
"Why does today’s dinner have a hint of sourness?"
Although Ouyang Hao was joking, Chen Ping seems puzzled:
"The rice was just bought yesterday, how could it be sour?"
"If it’s really sour, then don’t eat it."
Saying this, Chen Ping tries to take Ouyang Hao’s bowl away, but Ouyang Hao quickly dodges, laughing helplessly:
"I’m just kidding, Sister Ping."
After a while, Chen Ping finally gets Ouyang Hao’s joke and glares at him:
"Seems like next ti I’ll have to make you a special table of food."
Ouyang Hao wails:
"Please, Sister Ping, I was wrong."
Everyone laughs heartily at this.
After everyone finishes eating and takes a rest, Lin Yi, as usual, transfers a session of Wood Energy to Wang Zixin.
This ti, surprisingly, Wang Zixin’s legs have a slight sense of feeling.
This makes everyone overjoyed.
The girls imdiately pull Wang Zixin aside to chat and care for her, pushing Lin Yi to the side and leaving him speechless.
At this mont, Guo Shaojie says to Lin Yi:
"Brother Feng, co over for a second."
Lin Yi is bewildered:
"What’s up?"
Guo Shaojie sits down in the small courtyard in front of the villa with Lin Yi, holding a tablet.
Guo Shaojie performs so operations on the tablet and hands it to Lin Yi:
"Take a look at this."
Lin Yi takes the tablet and imdiately recognizes the familiar interface, knowing what Guo Shaojie wants him to see.
Displayed on the tablet is the interface of a certain forum, which currently only has three threads.
This forum is the [Global Forum] within the ga Glory of the Gods.
Clearly, those who can leave a ssage on it are skilled players who have ranked in the Endless Tower.
At the mont when the Endless Tower rankings are fluctuating, being able to hold onto a top-ten spot for 12 hours is quite an accomplishnt.
You could say that the players who can leave ssages here have absolutely terrifying real strength.
Before the global servers rged, this ranking was the most compelling testant to global prowess.
To Lin Yi’s surprise, the three posts in this [Global Forum] are all related to him.
The first post was made by a player from the United States, ID: Satan J (transliteration).
The content of his post was just one sentence:
"Chinese Feng Hua, I’m waiting for you."
Lin Yi was baffled.
Could it be that my reputation has already spread to the United States? Even prompting an opponent to challenge directly by na.
What an ’honor’ indeed!
But isn’t it a bit odd that he challenges right off the bat?
Lin Yi checked the opponent’s Endless Tower ranking: 1st place / 5th floor / Completion ti: 1:05:12
Lin Yi originally wanted to check the opponent’s level information, but after a mont he realized that this feature hasn’t been updated yet, so it’s impossible to see the opponent’s ga info here.
However, through mory, Lin Yi clearly rembered that in the previous life, this person wasn’t even in the top ten globally.
Just then, Guo Shaojie said:
"I’ve had people look into this Satan J, and he’s currently the president of the largest guild in the United States and also ranks first in the power rankings. His level has reached 31."
Lin Yi was shocked:
"Already level 31?"
Currently, the number one in the Hua Country District level ranking is only level 26!
Guo Shaojie chuckled and said:
"Do you know what level the second place in their country is?"
Lin Yi, curious, asked:
"What level?"
Guo Shaojie replied:
"25."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but be stunned,
"Is there such a big gap?"
Guo Shaojie continued with confidence:
"In the United States, he’s like you in our country, always regarded as an existence with cheat-like abilities, so this strength is not surprising."
Lin Yi furrowed his eyebrows:
"Then do you know why he specifically nad as soon as he appeared?"
Guo Shaojie, as if expecting Lin Yi to ask this, directly said:
"No idea."
"But..."
Guo Shaojie glanced at Lin Yi:
"If I were to force a reason, it’s probably the incident we stirred up with the He Clan a while back."
"Because of this, it’s now also very popular on their forums, and they’re equally curious about your strength."
After speaking, Guo Shaojie reclined back in his chair and said:
"Keep reading; there are surprises down the line."
Lin Yi nodded and continued scrolling.
The second post was from a player in Russia nad Shamadlov: Second place / 5th floor / Completion ti: 2:39:48.
The content was:
"Chinese Feng Hua, I want to defeat you."
Lin Yi was speechless...
Are there only a few people worldwide?
Why does everyone direct their challenges at ?
If the first two posts made Lin Yi feel strange, then the third post wasn’t that surprising.
Because the author of this post was Yamada Miki from the He Clan: Third place / 4th floor / Completion ti: 1:12:03.
It’s expected for the He Clan to find trouble with .
But it’s incredible that the He Clan has soone strong enough to take third place.
Guo Shaojie glanced at the post Lin Yi was reading, then explained from the side:
"It’s said that when we returned, Yamada Miki mysteriously disappeared for a few days. Then when he reappeared, he directly took the top spot in the He Clan’s power rankings, much stronger than the second place."
"There are rumors that Yamada Miki spent those two days at the City Lord’s Mansion in Sapporo; so speculate whether the City Lord gave him special training."
"But these are all private speculations, and no one knows the actual circumstances."
After reading Yamada Miki’s ssage in the post, Lin Yi expressionlessly placed the tablet on the tea table beside him.
Guo Shaojie asked:
"So, should we climb the tower tomorrow?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi shook his head and said:
"No rush, we have other things to do tomorrow."
"Uh~"
Guo Shaojie asked puzzled:
"Is there a mission?"
Lin Yi simply got up and said:
"You’ll know tomorrow. For now, let’s all get online to level up."
Guo Shaojie:
"But that guy Zhan Tianpeng took Ouyang Jing and we don’t know where they went ssing around."
"Then call them and get them back for ."
"Uh~"
Guo Shaojie was stunned for a mont, then had a sly grin:
"This ti, Little Bird (Zhan Tianpeng), don’t bla for breaking up your romance; I’m just following orders, haha..."
