"Send me back."
Just as Li Yuxuan finished speaking, a message suddenly flashed in his mind.
【Return to the original world. 】
His vision began to blur, and everything around him seemed to be falling apart.
In the past, he would close his eyes tightly due to severe motion sickness.
But now, he just stood quietly, staring at the world.
Then, when he saw Arash's world, he saw it.
A giant that could cover the entire world, a dragon with beads in its mouth, a creature covered in fire, something sparkling and reminiscent of the universe...
They all looked down at the world of Arash.
At that moment, he realized instinctively.
These must be protoss.
He begins to understand why these powerful beings see humans as nothing more than toys.
Just looking at them made his heart beat out of his chest.
Then, he.
The system temporarily transformed him, an innocent human being, into a state similar to those of these protoss.
When his vision went completely black.
He opened his mouth and asked.
"System. Originally, I never thought I would ask you, but."
【……】
"What the hell are you?"
Li Yuxuan's world is still immersed in darkness.
While he was waiting for the system's reply, he felt as if he was floating in the air, a weightless feeling.
[…it’s still too early. However, I promise I will tell you when the time is right. 】
"Then at least tell me why it's premature."
[In due course, but right now I can't tell you why it's too early. 】
"That's just roundabout nonsense."
This system is one that intends to wipe out all the protagonists.
And he is a person who can travel freely between different dimensions. If those ridiculous beings pose a threat in their world, he will obliterate them.
"...I'm just asking this to make sure you're not the protagonist, are you?"
Then, a woman's laughter seemed to come from somewhere, which made Li Yuxuan a little confused.
He may be wrong.
Because the system he knew never showed any emotion.
【no way. 】
"That's it."
【Do you want to see me? 】
"certainly."
[…Okay, then, just a glimpse. 】
Suddenly, the universe around him seemed to converge into a single point.
Along with the dazzling golden light, a woman appeared...
call out!
[Time returns to normal. 】
When Li Yuxuan regained consciousness, he found that he was back on the bed in the studio apartment.
He immediately bent over and touched his chest, feeling a dull pain, as if something important had been taken away.
what is that?
No. Did this really happen?
He stood up slowly, not looking at his watch, but just observing his remaining lifespan.
Already one day less.
This means that the day has passed.
"...I don't believe that one day I will sleep like a piece of wood."
Maybe it was because he saw something in that golden light.
Or maybe it's because he spent nearly 100 days in Arash's world.
unconfirmed.
Li Yuxuan picked up his phone and checked the date.
As expected, only 25 days have passed on Blue Star.
"Hey, system."
【……】
"Are you asleep?"
【……】
really weird.
Every time he contacted the system, she always responded quickly.
But after Liu Haoran's incident, she didn't respond at all for a while.
At the time she said she was tired and needed to rest, but now... this was unusual.
If something can't be done, it can't be done.
He could only ask about her later.
"Um."
Touching the black magic armor on his body, Li Yuxuan felt a little stuffy for some reason.
In retrospect, he never used level one armor.
He took off his protective clothing, put it in the box, pushed it to the corner, and began to inspect the harvest.
[Arash’s skill “Storage (B)” has been absorbed]
This is a skill that Li Yuxuan inherited from Arash.
Although Arash has many outstanding skills as a battle mage, Li Yuxuan did not obtain them all, and he has no regrets about this.
He wasn't entirely sure what storage could do, so he decided to check it out.
[Storage (B): Have your own space for storing items. 】
【Maximum storage capacity: 70 kg. 】
[Maximum storage volume: 10 cubic meters. 】
[Warning: Items with energy levels above A level cannot be stored here. 】
This skill called "Storage" is very similar to the "subspace" he knows, and it is what he has always dreamed of.
Although in many ways distinct from the Warp, so what?
Under certain restrictions, Storage can even transfer items between worlds.
When he opened his inventory, a translucent brick-patterned window appeared in the sky, which contained a list of his saved items.
Before leaving Arash's world, he wandered around in astral form, looking for information similar to that recorded in the White Witch's library, and found some similar but different information.
There's even a bag suspended in the air filled with fairy dust and vibrant dirt.
Although it cannot promote the growth of silver spirit flowers, it can also create a more suitable environment for them.
After Li Yuxuan took out the things, he dragged his tired body to the magic safe and opened it.
Inside is a flower with swaying withered petals.
"Hey, you're alive, right?"
[Um. ]
"I have something that might help you, so stick with it."
[So cold...]
Li Yuxuan carefully removed the soil and placed it around the Silver Spirit Flower.
He then sprinkled fairy dust into the spell-protected glass tube.
The fairy dust was almost like pollen, so he had to spread it carefully until he stood there for thirty minutes.
[…that’s great. ]
"Will this keep you alive for a while?"
[Um. ]
Li Yuxuan hasn't found suitable materials yet.
He needs to find other dimensions, but not now because he and Chen Xuewei have a plan.
After completing what he could do for Silver Spirit Flower, Li Yuxuan checked his ability.
[Name] Li Yuxuan (Level 42)
[Attributes] Strength (39); Stamina (38); Agility (40); Life (1); Mana (42)
[Talent] Swordsmanship (A+); Intuition (A); Intelligence (A); Sharpshooter (C); Hunting (D+); Cooking (D-)...
[Skills] Protagonist Hunter (Level 2); Araceli Mana Cycle MK-40 (SS); White Sword Technique (S); Storage (B); Wind Step (D); Sixth Sense (F); White Witch Library (F)
His level has reached level 42.
It can be safely said that he is really D-level now.
At this growth rate, he can survive as a hunter no matter where he is.
Moreover, Wind Step and Mana Cycle can push his physical fitness to the limit, while White Sword Technique can make him hunt more efficiently.
So, if he is serious about being a hunter, he can live a comfortable life without worrying about money.
"By the way, what does equipment with energy level A and above mean?"
[Any level system is determined by the amount of energy contained in the item. 】
This answer is given by a machine-like system, not directly from the "customer service".
[If compared with the equipment on Blue Star, first-level equipment is equivalent to A-level. 】
"Oh...can my super shooter be stored?"
It's always inconvenient to carry a super shooter with you.
This alone is already a great gain.
In addition to his super shooter, Li Yuxuan also stored a number of other low-level devices that took up space in his apartment.
Next, he picked up his phone.
He has been away from the other world for a long time, so he doesn't know what happened on the Blue Star.
He opened a few useful apps, including a timeline app that summarized news from the past few weeks.
When Li Yuxuan was pressed for time and wanted to quickly understand what was going on, he chose a great app.
If he needs to know more, he can click on the news to view the details.
While checking the news, he sent Song Jialin a message.
Li Yuxuan: I'm back.
Don't know why, but Song Jialin once said to him, "If you ever go to that weird place, send me a message every time you come back" and he agreed, so that's what he's doing now.
Next, he sent a message to Chen Xuewei.
Because there will be a sword debate in a few days.
Chen Xuewei replied quickly.
Chen Xuewei: Photos (link)
"Um?"
This is Chen Xuewei’s selfie.
Or more accurately, it's a blurry selfie of an expressionless doll.
There is also a link attached to the photo.
Chen Xuewei: This is my social account.
Chen Xuewei: Follow me.
focus on?
Li Yuxuan: Shouldn't you ask me first if I have an account?
About 30 seconds later, he received a message with an unhappy emoji.
Chen Xuewei: Sorry, I was negligent. I've had one for a while, so I thought you had one too.
Li Yuxuan: ...Okay, I have nothing to say.
Li Yuxuan: But what is this used for?
Chen Xuewei: I am working hard to increase my social media influence at the Sword Discussion Conference.
Chen Xuewei: I want to follow your account.
Li Yuxuan: It doesn’t matter.
Chen Xuewei: I just want to do this.
Apparently...
Li Yuxuan is not very fond of using social media, although many people started using it later than him.
Having to learn something new is very annoying.
Still, he checked Chen Xuewei's account to see what it looked like.
"Crazy, a million fans?"
When Xuewei Chen made her Hunter debut a few months ago, she said she didn't even have a social media account.
However, now, in Li Yuxuan's view, this seems to be a thing of the past.
He had occasionally paid attention to Chen Xuewei, when she created an account to live broadcast.
He didn't have much interest in the news at the time, but now, he can't believe that in such a short period of time, the number of Chen Xuewei's fans has surged to one million.
Well, given her looks, connections, wealth, and talent, it's a wonder this didn't happen sooner.
From the moment she created her social media account, it was bound to happen.
Li Yuxuan slowly browsed Chen Xuewei's posting timeline.
She uploaded a selfie with an expressionless face, not unlike her usual look, and people commented that it was another good selfie, garnering thousands of positive feedback.
Looking at the recent photos, he saw that some were taken with Song Jialin.
Judging from Song Jialin's pouty expression, it seems that she was pulled along by Chen Xuewei for the photo shoot.
However, she did not callously ignore her juniors.
Song Jialin's fierce appearance is just a disguise.
"Um?"
Looking at the photo with Song Jialin, Li Yuxuan noticed a comment.
Ye Lun: It’s been a long time since I saw Song Jialin’s photo. You are still as beautiful as ever. (Likes: 29/Dislikes: 97)
Song Jialin: Grass (dudu) mud. Who left this comment? After reading it, I felt like I was going to throw up. (Likes: 4539/Dislikes: 127)
Li Yuxuan felt that Song Jialin's answer was too much.
He wondered how excited she was when she wrote the review.
Yellen.
This guy has a big conflict with Li Yuxuan and Song Jialin.
As the twelfth strongest S-class superpower who debuted three years after Li Yuxuan, "Yelun" has always despised him on the battlefield.
At that time, Li Yuxuan had no self-esteem, so he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, because this kind of thing happened often.
However, whenever this happens, Song Jialin always stands up.
Li Yuxuan noticed that she insulted Ye Lun in various ways, but the more Ye Lun was criticized, the more persistently he pursued Song Jialin, claiming that he liked such treatment.
"This bastard is really stubborn."
Li Yuxuan muttered in his heart.
After being scolded for so long, shouldn’t it be time to wake up?
Anyway, Li Yuxuan was surprised to find that Ye Lun actually had a social account, so he clicked on Ye Lun's account.
"...Is he so rich?"
He was surprised to see that instead of posting selfies, Yellen shared photos of strange tattoos on her hands, gold necklaces, expensive wallets and questionable gestures from the top of her car.
Yellen also has a huge number of fans.
Well, Ye Lun is an S-class strongman and has a high status in the Juggernaut Association.
Suddenly, Li Yuxuan thought of a possibility.
"Wait a minute. So he's coming to the sword competition? Whatever is fine, but I still don't want to see a creepy guy."
When Li Yuxuan was casually browsing Ye Lun's posts, he noticed something strange.
In addition to the two accessories she wears in each photo, Yellen is wearing a different accessory in each photo.
On her right wrist is an old wooden bracelet, and around her neck is an old-fashioned pearl necklace.
"It doesn't look like something the 'cool' Yellen would wear, but he's wearing them in every photo."
Li Yuxuan suddenly recalled the scene when he met Ye Lun a few years ago.
"Ah yes. I remembered. I'm sure he was wearing them when we met a few years ago."
At this time, [Skill White Witch's Library (F) is activated. 】
Before Li Yuxuan could guess what these accessories were, his skills noticed them first.
