Feng Xiyan's action just now gave Mu He a strong sense of déjà vu.

He seemed to be able to see Xiao Qingkuang looking at him.

The most evil and charming demon swordsman in the entire "Yu Ling" can often make him dizzy with just a glance.

Could Feng Xiyan and Xiao Qingkuang be the same person?

No, probably not.

Xiao Qingkuang gave Mu He the feeling of being more arrogant, more domineering, and more self-centered.

And now the person standing in front of him was calm and businesslike, with a hint of laziness in his every move.

He must have been overthinking it.

Come to think of it, how could such a coincidence happen in this world?

Mu He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after chatting with Feng Xiyan for more than ten minutes, he finally finalized the character's skills.

Before he left the office, Feng Xiyan casually said, "From now on, you just need to do the work I assign to you."

Mu He said "hmm", then left the office to draw a new character illustration.

So, he didn't know that just a few minutes after he left, Feng Xiyan received a call from Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng said on the phone, "That elven wizard with the ID 'Cylinder' is keeping her identity pretty secret, so there's no way to track her down. But I got a video of her solo-killing a hidden boss. Do you want to see it?"

"Send it over." Feng Xiyan said as he opened the laptop beside him and entered the password.

After entering the desktop, I soon received an email from Fang Cheng, which contained a short video of about 10 minutes.

"This was secretly recorded by a passerby player hiding in a corner. The recording time was around 6 o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday." Fang Cheng said.

Feng Xiyan clicked on the video. The video started with Yuantong fighting with the hidden boss. The location was the elves' novice village, the psychedelic jungle.

She was level 12, but she was able to deal with the level 24 hidden boss alone with ease.

Feng Xiyan had already seen the timing of Cylinder's skill releases before. It was definitely not at the level of an ordinary player, but because she was standing in the back row during the team battle, it was not very obvious.

In the video, she uses skills one after another to impose maximum restrictions on the hidden boss and maximize damage. Both the timing of releasing skills and the prediction of the boss's attacks are impeccable.

And her movement - she can always dodge the boss's attacks with minimal movement, and her posture is calm and composed, and it is obvious that she is at a professional level.

Before Feng Xiyan could comment, Fang Cheng said, "I may not play games, but if her skills aren't professional-level, I'll do a live broadcast of her doing a handstand in women's clothing!"

"But it's strange," Fang Cheng continued. "I've searched the entire Yuling professional community and can't find anyone who looks like her. Take her positioning, for example. Very few people in the Yuling professional community position themselves that way."

Feng Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something: "Maybe it's not the "Yuling" professional circle..."

"Ah? What?" Fang Cheng didn't hear clearly.

"Do you know the "Strange World"?"

"Ghost World" was the most popular holographic online game before "Imperial Spirit", but it was suddenly shut down four years ago and disappeared from the scene since then.

The earliest batch of holographic professional players came from "Ghost World".

Feng Xiyan has never played "Ghost World", but he has some understanding of the professional players of "Ghost World". After all, after "Ghost World" was shut down, many professional players chose to come to "Yuling" to continue their professional careers.

But most of them don't have the patience to train a character from scratch. They often buy several max-level characters at high prices and try them one by one to see which profession suits them better.

Unfortunately, since the gameplay of "Yu Ling" is so different from "Ghost World", there are only a handful of professional players who have successfully made the transition.

Among the eight major teams, Feng Xiyan only knew that one person had successfully transformed, and that was the captain of the Yu Su team - the elf mage Yu Guo Tian Qing.

Speaking of which, the Yu Su team was originally transferred directly from "Ghost World".

"'Strange World' ah... Rainy Day After Rain?" Fang Cheng obviously thought the same thing as Feng Xiyan, "Rainy Day After Rain is indeed quite good at positioning, but he's a man."

"I didn't say they were the same person." Feng Xiyan mentally checked Fang Cheng's intelligence, then instructed, "Find a way to help me check if there's anyone in the Ghost World professional circle who meets the requirements."

"Oh my god, you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me." Fang Cheng frowned. "How many years has it been since the Ghost Realm service was shut down? How can I check? Even if I find someone who meets the requirements, what good will it do? Few Ghost Realm players have ever appeared in public. The most I can find is an ID. Who knows who's behind that ID? You might as well let me investigate the reason why Ghost Realm was shut down."

"Okay, then let's find out the reason why "Ghost World" was shut down." Feng Xiyan said this without even blinking.

"Devil! Feng Xiyan, you devil!" Fang Cheng roared, and searched the question on his computer. After seeing the search results, he was suddenly stunned, "Oh my god..."

"What's wrong?" Feng Xiyan was puzzled by Fang Cheng's reaction.

Fang Cheng was silent for a moment before adopting a serious tone. "It's said online that the sudden shutdown of Ghost World was due to the leaking of real player information, which led to some players being retaliated against by their in-game enemies in real life. Some professional players were even forced to quit," Fang Cheng continued, flipping through the web. "It was quite a big deal at the time, lasting for over a week, and then Ghost World suddenly shut down."

Feng Xiyan: "Is the confidentiality work not done well? Or is there a mole inside?"

Fang Cheng: "I don't know about that."

"Forget it, it's not the point anyway."

Feng Xiyan was about to give up and tell Fang Cheng to stop looking, but before she could open her mouth, Fang Cheng said, "I have work to do, so I'll log off first. I'll sort out the IDs and styles of the players in "Strange World" for you when I have time."

"Okay." Feng Xiyan said, hung up the phone, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips - this guy is still the same. He says he won't do it, won't do it, and can't do it, but in the end, he will help him with everything.

So reliable.

LD's character illustrations are painted using a thick painting method, which is very effective but time-consuming.

Mu He painted for the whole morning but still couldn't finish it. The four hours passed in a flash.

He didn't want to hand in a half-finished product, but he also didn't want Feng Xiyan to think that he had been busy all morning and accomplished nothing, so he took a screenshot and sent it over with a message.

Mu He: I haven’t finished the painting yet. I’m going to leave work today and continue painting tomorrow.

I thought I would receive a reply very late like yesterday, but I didn’t expect Feng Xiyan to reply so quickly.

Just one word: "good".

Mu He felt inexplicably disappointed, but he didn't care much about it and packed up and left.

He left early today, so he had lunch after returning home and made himself a bowl of noodles.

After finishing his noodles, he rested for only a few minutes before sitting in the holographic cabin and logging into the game.

His character is already level 24 and has learned two new skills.

One is a skill that adds buffs to yourself and your teammates, called "Shadow Guardian", and the other is a skill that adds negative buffs to monsters, called "Shadow Binding".

Now, it is not a big problem for him to clear the Nether Cave solo, it just takes some time.

Mu He ran around the village and sorted out the things in the storage space. Just when he wanted to see who was online in his friend list, he received a voice message from Yuan Yitong before he had time to look.

Yuan Yitong: [Hey, Mu Tou, you're online! ]

Mu He was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: [You've been playing games very actively recently? Are you not doing live broadcasts anymore?]

Yuan Yitong: [Live streaming is tiring, okay? I need a break, too.]

[So how long do you plan to rest?] Mu He was really worried that Yuan Yitong would just leave when he was almost at the maximum level. If that happened, he would definitely not make any equipment for him!

However, Yuan Yitong's answer was: "This time it might take a long time."

【Um?】

Before Mu He could react, he heard Yuan Yitong say these four words: [It depends on my mood~]

[Tsk, I knew it.] Mu He wasn't surprised at all. [Give me your account and password when you leave. You should have a lot of good equipment by then. I'll dismantle it all for you.]

Yuan Yitong: [Wow, that's too much! Can't you just stay and wait for me to come back?]

[No.] Mu He answered firmly, then asked him, [Are you going to a dungeon? I'm still short of some materials for making equipment.]

Yuan Yitong: [Hmm, wait a minute, I'm brushing.]

[Huh?] Mu He thought he had misheard, [Are you farming a dungeon? Who are you farming with?]

Yuan Yitong: [I'm playing alone. I'll be out soon. Wait for me.]

Mu He: ???

Has it become so easy to solo these days?
