After looking at Lin Shurou’s and the old man’s interface, Ling Yi had a better understanding of the other players’ situations.
It seemed like…
Most players had skills with 4, 5, and 6 Stars.
7 Star was relatively rare.
Seeing Ling Yi’s thoughtful expression, Lin Shurou tilted her head and gently asked, “You’re done?”
“Yes.” He nodded his head.
Lin Shurou smiled sweetly and turned around to continue watering the plants.
Seeing this, Ling Yi looked around and saw a long wooden chair not far away. He walked over and sat down.
The sun shone brightly in the courtyard, and the warm breeze was comfortable. It was a very suitable resting spot.
Birds were chirping on the treetops, and colorful butterflies were dancing among the flowers.
Breathing in the fresh air, Ling Yi’s mood became better.
‘Now that I’ve found the detection skill, it’ll be easier to choose what attribute to copy. And besides, I can also use this to see the Ice Queen’s attributes….‘
Ling Yi’s eyes flickered.
After thinking for a moment, he decided not to summon the Ice Queen just yet.
The house protection talisman did not protect the yard, so it was safer to summon the creature in his room.
Otherwise, who knew what would happen if other players happened to see it?
A humanoid summoned beast doesn’t exist in this world!
Moreover …
What he had done this morning had already caused a global sensation, and he knew that.
Right now, the entire world is paying attention to the players in District 66.
At this point, it was better not to make any noise.
“What are you thinking about?” Lin Shurou asked as she finished watering the plants. She saw Ling Yi sitting there in a daze.
She put down the light pink water bottle and sat beside him.
“Nothing much, just the news from this morning.”
“Oh? District 66?”
“Yes,”
“That’s some outrageous article, huh?”
Thinking of the news she saw in the morning, Lin Shurou’s eyes widened, “I wonder what happened in District 66. Where did that mysterious newcomer come from? To think that someone could do something like that. All the big shots in the world must be very anxious now.”
Lin Shurou watched as a thoughtful expression crept onto Ling Yi’s face. “But this has nothing to do with any of us. Small people like us should live a good life. Let them have a headache over this kind of thing.”
“Uh… You’re right…”
“However, I heard that the Alliance has already coordinated with some players in District 66. From tomorrow onwards, District 66 will probably face a long search.”
Ling Yi nodded and looked down at the grass on the ground. His eyes wandered.
‘What should I do tomorrow?’
His goal was to become stronger so that he would have the strength to defeat the beginner-level Beast King.
Only then could he rescue District 87.
Although there was no time limit, people were looking for him, and the more time he wasted, the easier for them to hinder him.
‘If this group of people comes to stop me, I’ll let the Ice Queen kill them all… If I can scare them off, no one will come to find me.‘
There were many ways to chase them away.
However, Ling Yi would rather be reckless than run away from them.
He could keep a low profile, but he would not cower and hide. He could choose not to speak, but he would not lie to others to not expose his identity. He could stay put, but he wouldn’t sneak around to steal monsters.
He prided himself as an upright person, and his actions should reflect that!
“Oh, that’s right!” Lin Shurou suddenly exclaimed as if she had remembered something, effectively waking Ling Yi up from his deep thoughts.
“What’s wrong?” He turned around.
However, the girl blinked and moved her pretty face closer to him with a gossipy look. She whispered, “Did you see the news about the bet between the two families?”
“No.”
“You really haven’t? It could be related to the mysterious newbie from District 66!”
Then, she excitedly told him about the bet between the Wang and Xia families.
“That’s why, if that mysterious newcomer reaches level 10 first, he’s destined to be the other half of the Xia family’s young lady! And looking at the situation, that mysterious newcomer will likely be the first to reach level 10.”
Ling Yi’s eyes widened, and his jaws dropped.
He was already at level 17.
‘Does this mean I have a fiancée now??‘
He was sure he was the first to reach level 10 in the current batch.
Because he had broken the record.
If there were someone who reached level 10 faster than him, he would not have broken the record.
And in this batch, there was no need to talk about those who were behind him. They would reach level 10 much later than him.
According to the bet, the Xia family’s eldest daughter would only marry the first person to reach level 10…
Ling Yi’s face was blank, and his heart was equally confused.
“This… They’re…”
He was a little speechless, “What kind of family is this? How dare they set up a bet on such a major life-deciding event?”
“It’s not that bad. The Xia family’s eldest daughter is from the same district I am in and is now also an ordinary person. Marrying the top player in this batch is not a loss at all.”
Lin Shurou tilted her head and continued, “There are billions of people who participate in the player assessment every month. Only the top million can pass. And in every batch of a million people, the first to reach level 10 would be heaven’s favorite.”
“If you think about it, the Xia family still got the better end of the stick.”
If possible, Ling Yi’s mouth was opened even wider. His mind was a mess.
‘Wait, if the Xia family’s eldest daughter is in the same district as her, does that mean that when I defeat the Beast King in District 87, she will regain her player status?‘
‘But, even if I restore her identity as a player, the bet will still go on…‘
Ling Yi suddenly came to an understanding.
The Xia family’s elders were using the “trash” to gain a rich man to strengthen their “empire”.
‘But what will happen when she regains her identity as a player?‘
Would she obediently stay where she is, or would she leave her family?
The latter was more likely.
Ling Yi didn’t want to overthink those things.
He was more concerned about the woman herself.
Anyone would be at a loss if they were bound in a marriage to a stranger.
‘In short, the current mission is still the Beast King of District 87. As for the rest… I’ll just take it one step at a time.‘
Ling Yi let out a long sigh.
His mind felt a little tired.
Lin Shurou seemed to have noticed it. She picked up her water bottle and stood up. She extended her hand to him and smiled gently. “Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
