CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: FIRST HEARING OF SECRETS

"Aifula!"

Lin Yi suddenly sat up, his face filled with terror.

Just now, Lin Yi had a terrible nightmare.

In the dream, Aifula was moving further and further away from him, and when Lin Yi tried to catch up, he found he couldn’t move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Aifula disappeared from view.

"So it was just a dream!"

Seeing the warm sunshine outside the window, Lin Yi hadn’t even sighed in relief when suddenly he sensed something was wrong.

He was still in the game!

Everything before him was not the room he had in reality.

Shaking his slightly muddled head, Lin Yi finally recalled the system notification he heard before falling unconscious, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"Aifula?"

Lin Yi looked left and right but didn’t see that familiar figure,

"Aifula, come out, stop messing around."

Trembling, Lin Yi opened the attributes list and looked at one line,

Number of Summoned Creatures: 0

Bang!

At the moment this number came into view, Lin Yi’s brain felt like it had been struck by lightning, rendering him frozen on the spot.

Lin Yi opened the public chat, looking at the system notification logs above.

So he escaped the control of that Demon Race BOSS at the cost of Aifula’s sacrifice?

For a moment, sorrow overwhelmed Lin Yi. How could she be so foolish!

He’s just a game player, after all, he can be resurrected if he dies, why should it come to this!

As Lin Yi fell into the grief and anger of losing Aifula, an elderly voice came from the doorway,

"You’re awake!"

Just as the words were spoken, an old man that Lin Yi found unbelievable entered by pushing the door open.

What astonished Lin Yi was not the appearance of this old man, but rather the words that came next,

"Adventurer, how have you been?"

"You!"

Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded,

"You know me?"

The old man smiled with a hint of meaning,

"I didn’t expect you to truly acquire Kalsa’s inheritance, I knew I wasn’t seeing wrong."

Why did Lin Yi know about this hidden profession of Spirit Summoner?

That’s right!

Lin Yi knew how to acquire the Spirit Summoner inheritance precisely because of this old man in front of him.

Gamplov Lv70

Great Elder of the Elf Race

Lin Yi accidentally completed a hidden quest and obtained information about the Spirit Summoner inheritance from him.

If this had happened to the pre-rebirth Lin Yi, he certainly wouldn’t be surprised; he might even think it perfectly natural.

But the issue now is, damn it, he has reincarnated!

How could he, an NPC, know about things before his rebirth?

Could it be that this old man also reincarnated with him?

This is just absurd!

Since his rebirth, for the first time, Lin Yi felt that his reincarnation didn’t seem to be a simple accident.

What earth-shattering secrets could be hidden within?

I spit!

Isn’t this too melodramatic? Like shooting a TV drama; does it have to be so clichéd!

Lin Yi thought helplessly, now it was very clear that this old man must know something.

Lin Yi was not inclined to beat around the bush with the other party and went straight to the point:

"Great Elder, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Lin Yi raised his hand to stop Gamplov, who was about to speak,

"Speak simply and directly, don’t beat around the bush, wasting everyone’s time."

Then Lin Yi made a gesture of invitation,

"Go ahead."

Gamplov wasn’t offended by Lin Yi’s words, but stroked his white beard and chuckled:

"Actually, I don’t know much either, you"

"Then just say what you know that I don’t."

Gamplov paused:

"You..."

Lin Yi didn’t care, saying:

"We’re all sensible people, just say what you need to say, it’ll be easy for everyone."

Gamplov swallowed back the words he was about to say and chuckled bitterly:

"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you what I know."

"In this world, for you Chosen Ones, it is just a game where you can be resurrected using the God Race’s Resurrection Hall after death."

"But for us, this is our home where we have lived for generations, and our life is just once, unlike you who have the chance to start over."

"What?"

It was the first time Lin Yi heard such a statement.

Even though he had some guesses in his heart, hearing it with his own ears still left him horrified.

"Are you saying that this Rafam Continent is a real world? How is that possible!"

After the initial shock, Lin Yi thought,

"But that’s odd, you say you don’t have another chance, but what about those respawning corrupted creatures and dungeon monsters?"

"Those couldn’t possibly be real too, right?"

"Hehe~"

Gamplov did not answer Lin Yi’s question, but instead, with a mystical demeanor, stroked his beard and laughed:

"Real or illusory, when real becomes illusory and illusory becomes real, who can tell what is true and what is false?"

"Speak plainly!"

"This I don’t know either...."

"Damn, saying a bunch of nonsense when you don’t know!"

Lin Yi thought of another question,

"Then how do you remember me? Don’t tell me you reincarnated with me too."

"Actually, your appearance is as surprising to me as it is to you,"

At this moment, Gamplov’s face also bore a hint of confusion and doubt as he said:

"I once accidentally entered a node two years later while using the Great Brahman Inference Technique, and happened to meet the you who came to find me two years later."

"Upon learning that Kalsa’s inheritance still hadn’t been discovered, I took it upon myself to swap your reward for it."

"As for why you retaining memories and returning to two years ago, I am more eager than you to know what caused it."

After hearing the old man’s words, Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Originally intending to get answers to his own questions from him.

But as he said more, the original doubts remained unresolved while new questions arose.

For example, what exactly is the relationship between the game ’Glory of the Gods’ and Rafam Continent?

Was this old man appearing two years later and telling him about the Spirit Summoner inheritance a matter of chance or necessity?

What does his rebirth mean?

Lin Yi thought with a bitter smile:

Can’t I just be an invincible reborn cheater who dreams of a peaceful life? Why play mind games?

The culprit behind all this must be insane!

Right now, even with just a bit of imagination, it’s obvious to Lin Yi that coming here this time isn’t mere coincidence.

"Old man, just say it, are you guys in trouble?"

Gamplov was taken aback,

"You even know about this?"

At this moment, Lin Yi wore an expression that screamed ’I knew it’.

Though reincarnation had brought him many unimaginable benefits.

But thinking that his fate was entirely under someone else’s control made Lin Yi uncomfortable.

To hell with whoever it is, he absolutely won’t be led by the so-called fate.

Whether this is a game or a real world, anyway, he is here to play a game, not to be played by someone else.

Savior, every player here is a Savior, it’s not necessarily his role to play.

Once everyone reaches level 80, everyone can ascend to godhood, why bother?

I wonder if the equipment auctioned has been sold, better go check how much gold coins I have now.

Lin Yi decisively pressed the Return to City button,

"I can’t help with your trouble, find someone else please."

In a bit, he would first check the amount of gold coins after returning to the city, and then register a Mercenary Corps at the Mercenary Guild.

Lin Yi was planning his actions upon returning to the city.

Meanwhile, Gamplov took two steps back, eyebrows furrowing as he stared at the Teleportation Array forming under Lin Yi’s feet, as if muttering to himself:

"If that’s the case, then it’s truly a shame about that Elemental Spirit."

"Pssh, like that has anything to do with me, wait,"

Lin Yi frantically cancelled the Return to City, staring excitedly at the old man,

"What did you just say?"

"Elemental Spirit!"

"No, you must take me to see it."

......

Finally finished this second Chapter, still two updates today.

Thanks for the reward from: "No Talking~Kiss".
