Hello, it’s ckanda here👋. Hope you all had a nice weekend. The co translator for this novel is taking the week off for some personal matters so I’ll be taking over till then. Will try my best to keep up with the schedule!!
Chi Yan was still a little afraid when he climbed back on the rope. The thick fog had dispersed a little, and the scene before him gradually became clear.
He stepped on the rope with both feet, knelt on the rope with one knee, and glanced at the abyss below his feet.
But all he could see was endless, thick, and hazy white fog.
Because he couldn’t see clearly, it made his imagination run wild, and he was more scared.
He couldn’t see what was below, but his body trembled and developed goosebumps.
He quickly retracted his gaze, only to find that his hands were still tightly clutching onto his “ancestor”.
Bai Lixin stood in front of him, looking at him with complicated eyes.
The atmosphere stagnated for a moment, and Chi Yan froze for a few seconds, awkwardly letting go of Bai Lixin’s hand as he tried to justify himself: “Ahem! Huh, by the way, why is there such a fog? I never saw it when I used to walk by, that’s why I was careless. ”
Tsk, the level at which you justify yourself has definitely reached level eight!
Bai Lixin took a deep look at Chi Yan and said, “I don’t know; this “fog” has always been there ever since I came. If you’re okay, then let’s keep going. ”
Seeing that Bai Lixin was about to move forward, Chi Yan quickly called out to Bai Lixin, “Hey, ances… No, Bai Lixin, wait a minute. ”
Bai Lixin sent a puzzled look.
Chi Yan’s eyes dodged around: “That…will there be this “fog” ahead?”
“Oh,” Bai Lixin said, “there isn’t, this place is the most dangerous. ”
Chi Yan: “…”
You just laughed, right? Are you laughing at me?!
—————–
It was getting dark, and when the sky was about to lose the last glimmer of light, Bai Lixin and Chi Yan returned to the survival zone at the last second.
The numb people were still aimlessly moving around in place, so the two didn’t notice that one of those men suddenly looked at them with half-dull, half-puzzled eyes.
Bai Lixin was in a hurry this time, so he didn’t pick any fruit, and there was no reaction from the numb men.
If he gives, they’ll eat. If he doesn’t, it doesn’t matter.
Chi Yan stared at the youth not far away, lost in thought.
He hesitated for a while, but still walked to the youth and asked, “Are you planning to go through the tunnel tomorrow?”
Bai Lixin was combing his four-meter-long black hair like a kingfisher arranging its feathers. He nodded to Chi Yan’s question while combing his hair down with a self-made comb, “Yes.”
Chi Yan: “Then I’ll go with you.”
Bai Lixin examined his hair before answering, “Okay, but I will not wait for you if you are left behind.”
Chi Yan sat next to Bai Lixin, looked up at the many smooth diamond slate overhead, and sighed softly, “Hey, look at these diamonds, how beautiful they are.”
“If I encountered such a diamond mountain in the real world, I would wake up laughing.”
“Diamonds are a symbol of loyalty, but I never expected that I’d be so afraid of diamonds one day.”
Bai Lixin laughed, “Aren’t diamonds called the biggest lie of a certain century?” ”
“You don’t understand,” Chi Yan turned his head to look at Bai Lixin, “just like red roses represent love, diamonds also have things they represent, only that these things are a bit expensive.”
Just like last night, Bai Lixin balled up his hair again and held it in his arms.
Probably because he has been sober for a long time and has always chatted with Bai Lixin, Chi Yan was like a chatterbox music box that has been opened; he kept talking, “By the way, how did you end up here?”
Bai Lixin: “I didn’t finish a task.”
“Oh,” Chi Yan raised his eyebrows, “I know that, I am asking which task did you fail to finish?”
“It’s not that I’m blowing my trumpet, but even though I have been in this time cage for a long time, I have eaten more rice than you.”
“Let me hear what went wrong.”
Chi Yan’s words finally caught Bai Lixin’s attention, and he glanced at Chi Yan subtly.
You say it’s not, but isn’t that blowing your trumpet?
Seeing Bai Lixin’s questioning look, Chi Yan’s chest was immediately filled with a long-lost desire to win.
“Heh, you don’t believe me? Don’t look at me now, I used to be awesome. Which floor are you on now? ”
Bai Lixin raised his eyebrows: “The last system statistics were on the 260th floor. ”
Chi Yan suddenly became confident, “It’s only the 260th floor. Let me guess, you have been in this game for a year, right?”
Bai Lixin: “Well, not a year.”
“I was right!” Chi Yan slapped his thigh sharply, and his voice rose because of confidence: “Let me tell you! Although you are very powerful, you are still a rookie in this game. ”
“I’m not bragging, but I’m on the 901st floor of the leaderboard!”
Bai Lixin suddenly looked over and said, “On which floor did you say you are on?!” ”
“901st floor,” Chi Yan raised his chin.
Hehe, scared silly, right? You can use sentences with exclamation marks now.
“The 901st floor is almost triple the number of floors you were on, these two are very different. Your more than two hundred copies are not enough for me to stuff my teeth. ”
“The 901st floor?” Bai Lixin looked at Chi Yan suspiciously and asked, “Has there been a player that entered the 900th floor before you?” Do you still have any impressions of them? Did you feel something was wrong after you entered the 901st floor? ”
“Do you remember the names of the players on the leaderboard when you were in the game?”
Three or four questions were thrown, hitting Chi Yan’s head one after another. Chi Yan looked at Bai Lixin’s usually calm expression change to one of expectation and finally felt the feeling of being worshipped.
He smiled proudly and was about to answer Bai Lixin’s questions one by one, only to open his mouth and then close it awkwardly.
Chi Yan frowned, his expression as if his mouth were stuffed with a fly: “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.” ”
Bai Lixin: “??? ”
Chi Yan: “It’s the four questions you just asked, I don’t know the answers to any.”
“I don’t know how; I just remembered that I was on the 901st floor, but I forgot a lot of details. I guess it’s because I’ve lived here for 200 years, and I’ve forgotten a lot of things over time. ”
“But you see, I am very powerful, right?” Chi Yan looked at Bai Lixin with bright eyes and said, “Although I have forgotten a lot of things, I still remember most of the copies.”
He raised his head and extended his index finger to point at his temple.
“The night is still very long, why don’t I help you; I can tell you about my copies over the years. Maybe you can use the information in the future…”
The voice suddenly stopped, and the brilliance in Chi Yan’s eyes gradually faded. ” I must be going crazy, what am I saying?”
Bai Lixin picked up a small branch and drew something on the ground, and he said as he drew: “Maybe we can’t get out, but you are right, I have not had many copies; tell me about yours, the information might help me in the future.”
“The game lobby is disconnected from Eternal Diamond Mountain, and the escape system can’t monitor us here. Even if you tell me the copies, the system won’t know, so you don’t have to worry. ”
Chi Yan: “First, tell me which copies you cleared, so that I don’t repeat them.”
He watched Bai Lixin move the branch back and forth and found that the other party moved very flexibly, with only a few strokes, he drew a lifelike bird.
The bird had its wings spread out and were flapping upwards.
Chi Yan saw that this bird was a little familiar: “Hey, this is the bird species we saw today, right?”
“Yes,” Bai Lixin nodded, “I have cleared the copy of The Bride of the River God, The Night Walk of A Thousand Ghosts, Third Hymn of the Undead…”
Bai Lixin stared at the bird he had drawn in while listing the copies one by one according to his memory.
At first, Chi Yan’s expression was normal, he was just a little surprised when he listened to the first copy, but as Bai Lixin named more and more copies, Chi Yan’s expression became more and more shocked.
After Bai Lixin finished saying the last copy, he silently looked at Chi Yan beside him.
Chi Yan remained stunned for several seconds before he asked with a dazed expression, “You…how did you survive? ”
Of course he knew about those copies! And they were all quite famous at that time! Weren’t all those death copies!
A dog is luckier than him, right?
Chi Yan: “Why don’t you continue? Oh, did you pick the most difficult copies first? ”
Bai Lixin: “No, that’s all.”
Oh, and that’s all.
Chi Yan nodded a little stupidly, then he suddenly reacted and his head shot up, his pupils suddenly shrinking into a small dot, “So you mean, you have only cleared these eight… No, seven copies to reach the 260th floor? Wait, how long have you been in this game? ”
Bai Lixin counted the days: “About two months.”
Chi Yan: “…”
I’m sorry for acting like a jumping clown.
He took two steps back in embarrassment. “Hehe, I suddenly can’t remember which copies I’ve cleared.”
Now that he thinks about it, when he first entered the game, he cleared several copies and only reached a few layers, yet Bai Lixin has already climbed 260 floors, moreover after clearing insane bugged copies.
Tell Bai Lixin about his copies?
Isn’t this playing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong?[T/N]: Proverb to mean showing off in front of someone more talented.
I can’t afford to lose face, I can’t afford to lose face in front of this person.
Chi Yan looked down at his toes awkwardly and wished to find a hole to get into.
Just when he was about to die of embarrassment, a strange and abrupt voice suddenly came from beside them.
“Cards?”
Chi Yan and Bai Lixin were stunned at the same time and both raised their heads to look up.
They saw a man who should have been numb and spinning in circles in front of them.
Because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, his voice was a little strange and hoarse. The somewhat cloudy eyes fell on Chi Yan’s face, and he asked again: “Cards?”
Chi Yan stood up with excitement and grabbed the man’s wrist with both hands, “Are you awake?!” ”
The man’s expression was still dull, and his gaze slowly moved down Chi Yan’s face and dropped to Chi Yan’s hand.
“Cards?”
He spoke a third time, but it was still this word.
Bai Lixin noticed something and asked Chi Yan: “Do you know him?” ”
Chi Yan nodded. “A miracle, it’s simply a miracle. How did this happen? ”
“Didn’t I tell you before, that there was someone with some sanity when I entered? It’s him. But not long after I got in, he became like those people. ”
“Why did he suddenly wake up after so many years?”
