CHAPTER 14: CHAPTER 14: RECEIVED AN INVITATION, SOON TO ARRIVE AT CHAO LI COUNTRY

In Lin Qianxuan’s repeated gameplay, there were only three more attempts left for Destiny Restart.

In the seventh playthrough, Lin Qianxuan attempted a daring maneuver.

That was to use the game to pretend to be a superpower holder who could foresee the future, in order to contact the Xuan Country’s officials.

This time, he couldn’t even reach the Chao Li Country.

The String of Destiny broke and restarted directly.

That wasted a gameplay opportunity.

This made Lin Qianxuan’s heart tighten slightly.

He seemed to understand something.

It seems that the ability to foresee the future through the game cannot be casually exposed.

Once exposed, he feared that he would not be able to control himself, anyway, they definitely wouldn’t let him act recklessly, at least going abroad seemed impossible.

If this ability is judged at the official level of Xuan Country, it may be directly assessed as Celestial Rank, or even higher.

If Lin Qianxuan could really foresee the future, that would be something else entirely.

But he knows his own circumstances.

He only knows future fragments through the game.

At most, reaching June 5th to June 8th in the game timeline.

After that, he knows nothing about the timeline.

Even if the impersonation initially succeeds, it would definitely be exposed later.

....

The date is May 18th.

Lin Qianxuan tried to use the future foreseeing ability from the game to buy some lottery tickets.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t win.

Perhaps because he bought them a bit too early.

Because in the game, he checked the news and bought them ten minutes in advance, then directly hit the jackpot in one go.

Of course, even if he won, Lin Qianxuan wouldn’t claim the prize.

He did it casually.

However, although he didn’t win the lottery, other international news events and various domestic tabloid news happened on time.

The details of the friction between two small countries abroad were predicted by his game self in advance.

The only regret Lin Qianxuan felt was that his future self was only observed until early June 5th.

If he could advance the timeline a bit more to decades later, and have hundreds more restarts of the String of Destiny, his flexibility would greatly increase.

Yet, even so, he still had many daring maneuvers in mind that he could realize.

Of course, Lin Qianxuan no longer cared about those maneuvers.

After all, no matter how many daring maneuvers there are, he is still just an ordinary person.

If the future of the String of Destiny truly exists.

He only needs to win over Chen Long’Er, this dragon girl, to transform into a Transcendent.

Though this sounds a bit opportunistic, through the screen, Lin Qianxuan’s feelings for Chen Long’Er really only bordered on lust and sympathy.

But he believes that’s enough.

Love is such a thing, once the timing is right, and you meet a suitable opposite sex, and you don’t hate her, you even like her a bit, willing to live together, that’s perfect.

Moreover, Chen Long’Er could also provide him the opportunity to advance into a Transcendent, what reason would he have to refuse?

Lin Qianxuan sat in front of his computer in his bedroom, opened his phone, his published video’s views were skyrocketing, heading towards tens of millions.

There were other platforms stealing Lin Qianxuan’s video, also gaining some views.

The sales of the game "Love of Daily Life" were also rapidly increasing.

Several merchants were contacting him, hoping he’d advertise while the heat was on, including a few somewhat reputable big businesses.

If it were the past, Lin Qianxuan would have definitely negotiated with them.

But now, Lin Qianxuan’s uniform response was that he doesn’t plan to take ads recently, politely refusing.

He was wholeheartedly preparing for the day he’d travel to Chao Li Country, not wanting to be distracted by these things.

In recent days, some items had gradually arrived around Lin Qianxuan.

Mainly small props and gifts to win over Chen Long’Er.

He also got himself a pair of simultaneous translation earphones for future convenience in communication.

As for the order previously sent to Chao Li Country, Lin Qianxuan canceled it.

He had regretted it earlier.

If someone deduced from these clues that he foresaw the future, it could cause a lot of trouble later.

However, the possibility seemed slight.

It was just a shopping message, even if he’d later contact officials and be investigated, generally, no one would delve too deeply into it.

At least in the game, after clearing the stage, he wasn’t directly investigated.

Actually, Lin Qianxuan also considered whether to purchase some weapons to take with him.

But ordinary weapons clearly wouldn’t work against Transcendents.

A pistol would be utterly useless.

He had no access to more powerful weapons.

Even finding a channel to buy a pistol seemed hard.

Even if he managed to get it, he might not be able to bring it over.

Cold weapons were out of the question; they wouldn’t help at all.

As for obtaining some unconventional weapons from the extraordinary agency, the Otherworld Bureau of Xuan Country, how could an ordinary person like him gain support?

Unless he pretended to be a Transcendent.

But currently, aside from the game itself, he couldn’t pretend to have any other extraordinary ability.

So he could only pretend to foresee the future.

However, pretending to foresee the future, don’t even think about going abroad, let alone bringing weapons to Chao Li Country to pick up girls.

Lin Qianxuan now had two gameplay attempts left.

He hadn’t used them temporarily.

Because what he could think of now and what his future self could think of might not be the same.

He decided to wait and see, just in case he suddenly had some new ideas, he could try them out then.

Who knows, another solution might pop up?

...

May 20th.

Lin Qianxuan felt a bit obsessed.

He often found himself in a daze, absent-minded, always feeling a little anxious.

The mindset has been messed up.

He sat by the window, looking into the distance, and wondered if Chen Long’Er from Ni Country was now Wandering Dragon Enters the Sea.

She was imprisoned in a dark lab, unaware of the time.

According to information Lin Qianxuan got in the game, she initially wanted to swim directly to Xuan Country, but lost her way and ended up in Chao Li Country.

Over at Takamaki Qingji’s side, they also overlooked this situation. They were originally tracking towards Xuan Country, but who knew Chen Long’Er ran to Chao Li Country, so they couldn’t intercept her right away.

Midway through, they realized this and calculated Chen Long’Er’s direction based on information along the way, eventually arriving at Xugu City in Chao Li Country.

In fact, Takamaki Qingji’s team arrived in Xugu City a few days earlier, otherwise they couldn’t have controlled the city’s top officials so quickly.

Based on this information, Chen Long’Er’s time swimming in the sea should be longer than ten days.

After all, over 600 kilometers, and she got lost, spending more time is normal.

However, her stamina is really good; did she catch some fish to eat on the way?

Eat them raw?

They say the sea there is radioactive, right?

Will it mutate her?

She seems to have mutated already.....

Random thoughts flew chaotically through Lin Qianxuan’s mind, basically whatever came to mind, even he sometimes couldn’t help but show a smile.

But this also reduced some of his inner feelings of gain and loss.

Gain is lucky, loss is destiny.

Having it is best, if not, it’s just a brief life experience.

.....

May 25, 4:30 PM.

A message was sent to Lin Qianxuan’s account backend.

The sender had an official certification mark, from Shine Studio.

The message was simple, thanking Lin Qianxuan for his help in promoting the game, and then hoping to invite Lin Qianxuan to visit Chao Li Country in early June, to meet personally, to express sincere thanks. All travel expenses, accommodations would be covered.

Even though he already knew this through the game, Lin Qianxuan was still a bit excited.

All of this is real.

Lin Qianxuan took a deep breath and then replied courteously according to the information obtained in the game, expressing willingness to accept the invitation but needing to further confirm some information.

Afterward, they exchanged contact information and discussed details, looking at photo information, etc.

Communicating with Lin Qianxuan was Yan Yilin, the boss of Shine Studio. He could also speak Mystic Text, although not quite standard, it wasn’t too difficult to communicate.

After a while, Lin Qianxuan ended the conversation with Shine Studio.

He was still a bit dazed.

"Really going!"

In his mind appeared scenes of game characters fighting with many armed soldiers, getting hit by sniper shots, and battling with several dozen warships.

It’s not that he’s not confident, but he doubts if he can actually handle all this.

Playing the game is one thing, reality is another.

Truly putting himself in the field, he feels he might falter at crucial moments.

His determination is strong, but he has never killed anyone.

What state will his heart be in then?

Can he resolutely do such things?

....

May 26, Lin Qianxuan went to handle visa and passport matters.

Chao Li Country and Xuan Country have close relations, handling their visas is easy, unlike other countries where even months in advance might not work, for Chao Li Country, Xuan Country citizens can succeed in average three days.

....

May 29.

The weather is extremely clear.

Lin Qianxuan received the passport delivered by courier and then used one of his remaining play opportunities.

He changed his strategy, wanting to leverage external forces to delay time, minimizing risks during the strategy.

But it seems he chose the wrong direction.

Without a sense of crisis, it’s hard for two people to directly strategize Chen Long’Er in one day.

Even in two days, it’s not doable.

He successfully strategized Chen Long’Er only after encountering crisis on the third day.

The key to Chen Long’Er finally opening her heart was not how charming the words were, but someone was really willing to live or die with her.

Only through this, the connection level can be maximized in one breath.

.....

May 31.

Lin Qianxuan used his last play opportunity.

Conducted the final simulation.

This time, he followed recorded information for a complete strategy.

This time he reached the limit, addressing every detail recorded before.

Fastest strategy, perfect clearance.

On the morning of June 5 at 7:40, he met Chen Long’Er, at 1:05 AM the connection level was maximized, obtained the last Sound Talisman and [Dragon Heart] score, playing the Sound of Destiny for enhancement.

Then all the way through everything, until being picked up by Nie Yidong to return to Xuan Country.

After consuming all Destiny Restart opportunities, the game icon automatically turned gray, and Lin Qianxuan didn’t react to clicking it.

.....

Early next morning, Lin Qianxuan packed his large travel backpack and headed to the high-speed train station to buy a ticket.

Within half an hour, he arrived in the downtown area of Longjiang City.

Took a taxi, twenty minutes later, he arrived at the airport, picked up his ticket, and waited for boarding.

Holding his luggage, Lin Qianxuan sat in the waiting hall daydreaming.

It’s been almost four years since his last trip far away.

The year he graduated, he was only twenty, and he went out seeking jobs, but couldn’t stay long anywhere.

He didn’t expect that his next long-distance trip would be going abroad.

At this moment, the boarding announcement came out.

Lin Qianxuan picked up his belongings, ready to board.

Half an hour later, Lin Qianxuan watched the constantly changing clouds outside the window, his expression complex.

Hoping everything afterward will unfold like the game!!
