Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 64: Traveling Through the World (Part 1)
"…The above is the list of candidates for this time."
"Yeah?"
While the NPC was deliberately taking them around in circles without teleporting, other persons in charge had already transferred the players' information to the platform where Li Lin was.
Li Lin nodded in satisfaction as he flipped through the lists one by one. All the candidates on the list were selected and were very trustworthy players. Some dangerous ones had already been thrown out by him using various tricks. The ones left now were actually the names that had been selected by the Holy Light Sequence a long time ago.
Although they say that strength comes first, in reality, it is impossible for those who really have ulterior motives to come up in the activities of exploring other worlds. Those who can stand on this stage are more or less trusted and expected by everyone. Maybe a small part of them may not have good morals, but they have never made mistakes in the general direction. In order to shut people up, they even deliberately put in a few guys who look both good and evil but are actually quite good people.
As for how to get them to appear in the competition? Does the White Knight know about it? Does the Black Knight know about it? It's okay to make them feel nothing unusual and make mistakes. The entire list is not so much the top ten players in the competition, but rather the top ten responsible for exploring the outside world decided by Li Lin and the Holy Light Sect. Each of them has an indomitable will and considerable ability. Of course, the most important thing is that they have all come into contact with the products of the oriental worldview and have a considerable affinity with that mysterious world. This is the most important thing. Otherwise, it would be interesting to find a few duds and get lost in the vortex of time and space.
"That's it, these are the guys. We'll do the final commissioning in a bit, and then we'll be on our way here."
"Yes, sir."
After taking a look at Li Lin, who was surrounded by countless stars, the person in charge seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. However, he finally revealed an expression of admiration, saluted and left.
Other personnel began to move around and get busy, rechecking the relevant data and functions on the ground to confirm that there would be no problems with the next opening. Countless maintenance personnel walked out of the passage, constantly searching for the cross-boundary drill and related energy pipelines, magic arrays and other areas.
While the others were busy, Sally stood up from where she was. Her cute and delicate face was full of grievance, and she tiptoed to Li Lin on the platform. Under his strange gaze, she tugged at the corner of Li Lin's clothes, raised her head and showed an extremely affectionate expression. Her pupils, as bright as gems, were already filled with mist, swirling in the corners of her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
No, it would be more accurate to say that she had already cried, but because she tilted her head back, the tears slid down the sides of her eyelids, making it difficult to see clearly.
"grown ups……"
The girl held onto the corner of Li Lin's clothes, full of anxiety and hope.
"Can't I really go with you? I want to be with you, I want to be with you forever and ever... Is it really impossible? I will do my best and do whatever you say. Whether it's killing people or saving people, as long as you don't abandon me, I..."
"The Great Demon's ability is extremely stable. If you use your ability as a coordinate, the Star Torch will always remain constant in this world. In other words, you are the lighthouse guarding my way home. You can also use a considerable portion of the authority of my kingdom of God, so don't worry too much. And according to the theory, when I arrive in that world, I just need to start building a lighthouse, or call you, and you should be able to sense it."
"But... I'm still not with the adults..."
"It only takes a week to get used to each other. After a week, you will be by my side."
Touching the head of the Demon of Love, Li Lin showed a gentle smile.
"As long as the number of players online in this city exceeds one thousand, the souls and power absorbed every day will be able to perfectly maintain the operation of the lighthouse. When you are freed from your initial duties, you can pass through the world-crossing diamond to reach the world where I am. Isn't this something we have already discussed?"
"But sir, you can just wait for other players to finish their experiments and confirm their safety before going over. There's no need to do this—"
"If I'm not number one, then isn't that meaningless?"
Looking at the researchers and his relatives and friends who were troubled, Li Lin smiled with relief and waved at them.
"It's not like you're not coming back. There's no need to look so sad. How does that sentence go? Our battle has just begun, hasn't it? A story is bound to be boring when it reaches its climax, but when a new world opens up in front of it, it will be a new surprise."
"I'm already the tenth crown of Holy Light. I have weapons like the End of the Cycle. Going higher is just tracking down some magical secrets and strange phenomena. Those are daily tasks that should be done after reaching the maximum level. But I haven't reached the maximum level yet, but I find that there are no enemies. This is not what I like. I'm a player after all. If a player has the ability to get first place but doesn't fight for it, then I don't deserve to be a professional player."
"It's a bit hypocritical to challenge myself, but this is what I really think. I want to go to a strange world for a passionate adventure, that's it."
"...I agree with your idea, but it's not because what you said makes sense, but because you are my family."
Take this.
Although everyone still looked unconvinced , Bo Xun, who had been silent, suddenly jumped down from the podium. He grabbed in the shadows and pulled out a bronze pendant that looked like a necklace. He raised his hand high and motioned Li Lin to grab it. Seeing Li Lin grab it without hesitation and put it on his neck, Bo Xun nodded with satisfaction.
"This necklace is a part of me. I can sense it no matter where I am in this universe. However, I have never been to the outer universe, so I don't know if it will have any effect. But I hope it can be of some use to you. I won't say much else."
"But the adults still have to leave, and that Angel, she managed to get away with it——"
"Don't bother your master by getting in the way. Once a man has made a decision, let him go...as long as it's not gambling."
Thank me.
Bo Xun, who had the face of a little girl, blinked at Li Lin and pulled back Sally who was about to say something.
Under Li Lin's slightly gratified gaze, the surrounding space once again emitted a series of buzzing sounds caused by excessive energy. The footsteps of players and NPCs gradually echoed outside. Li Lin completely concealed the smile on his face, and his expression became calm and heavy. After a few seconds, he turned around, as if he had just discovered it, and looked at the players walking out of the corridor, smiling implicitly.
"It's nice to see you guys, let's get started."
