198 Reconstructing the Body!
Lin Bei teleported with Qiqi back to Dark Moon Valley. Then, he used the teleportation array to arrive at the Holy Light Village and found Jin Dadao.
“Lord Jin, do me a favor and help my friend reconstruct his body.”
As soon as they entered the grocery store, Lin Bei went straight to the point.
“No problem, but according to my observation, you need a portion of Extraordinary life force to reconstruct her body.”
Jin Dadao looked at Qiqi up and down and asked curiously, “You have Extraordinary life force?”
“Yes, but there’s only one piece. You have to wait a little longer four your piece.”
Lin Bei replied.
“Alright, take this. As long as you inject life force into it, you can reconstruct her body.”
Jin Dadao nodded and gave Lin Bei a formation plate.
Origin Returning Array: An Extraordinary array that can reconstruct the body after injecting enough life force.
“Alright, I’ve given it to you. You have to increase your strength as soon as possible.”
Jin Dadao urged, “With your current strength, you’re no match for those people from the Primordial World.”
Lin Bei nodded when he heard this. He suddenly remembered his encounter in Firestone Town and couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, Master Jin, do you know a person called Zong Lian? This person comes from the Primordial World and should be good at puppets.”
“Mm? Zong Lian? I know him. Why are you asking about him?”
Jin Dadao asked.
“Previously, in Firestone Town, his puppet clone attacked me, but I killed it. Before he left, he said that he would wait for me in the Primordial World. Since you know this Zong Lian, can you tell me some information about him?”
Lin Bei asked seriously.
“His puppet clone… was killed by you?”
When Jin Dadao heard this, he had a strange expression.
No wonder Old Zong’s expression was a little off previously. Alright, he had actually failed!
He clearly told me that he would give this kid a lesson, but in the end, he was beaten up!
“Not by me, but by my friend. However, speaking of which, the entire process was actually quite dangerous. Fortunately, it’s a puppet. If it was the main body, we would be in trouble.”
“…I see.”
Jin Dadao glanced at Qiqi beside Lin Bei and muttered in his heart, “This should be Elena’s soul clone, right? It’s just a clone, but it can actually kill Old Zong’s puppet clone? Isn’t this too ruthless?”
“If even a clone is so powerful, how strong is her main body now?”
Jin Dadao was a little shocked.
Alina’s realm was only Extraordinary, but from the performance of her soul clone, her actual combat ability was probably not weaker than a Legend.
“Master Jin, you haven’t told me about Zong Lian.”
“Oh, Zong Lian. Ahem, this guy actually has some connections with me. We once took adventures together when we were young, until I was shot in the knee…”
“Stop! Master Jin, I don’t want to hear about your glorious deeds anymore. Let’s talk about Zong Lian.”
“Alright, this Zong Lian is good at refining weapons, and I’m good at array formations. The two of us are old friends. As for strength… we should be on par.”
Jin Dadao thought for a moment and said, “As for whether he’s friend or foe, just treat him as half a friend. However, you’ll have to decide for yourself. After all, we haven’t interacted for more than a thousand years. The human heart is the most unpredictable.”
“However, if he really wants to deal with you, you have to be careful. His Artifact Refining expertise is not weaker than my Array Formation expertise. The puppet you encountered previously should be a small test. By the way, do you know Bobo? Actually, Bobo is also a puppet he once refined.”
“What? Bobo too?”
Lin Bei was stunned.
It didn’t look like it.
“Ahem, well… Back then, neither of us submitted to the other, so I added some troublesome array formations when he was refining puppets. You saw the final outcome. He actually created a goblin life!”
Jin Dadao shrugged and said helplessly, “However, because our strength was limited back then, his realm could only reach half-step Extraordinary. It would be very difficult to go further.”
“So Bobo has these secrets. Does he know?”
“Of course not.”
Jin Dadao shook his head and said, “However, he hasn’t broken through for so many years. I’m sure he’s puzzled too. Actually, it’s not that his aptitude isn’t good, but he’s innately limited. Of course, if he has Extraordinary Spirit Essences, it can still help him break through. This matter will depend on you, kid. He has many treasures hidden in his hands. As for the choice, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Master Jin!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up.
Extraordinary Spirit Essences, I have them.
“By the way, this Bobo’s mechanical technique is also unique. Although his realm is not at the Extraordinary level, combined with his mechanical technique, it’s enough to make his strength the same as average Extraordinary.”
Jin Dadao praised, “Although his realm is not high, he has inherited my and Old Zong’s intelligence.”
“Ahem, Master Jin, you sound like you and Zong Lian are Bobo’s mother and father. Could it be…”
“What are you thinking! If you really want to say it, we’re both fathers. What mother and father? If you don’t know how to speak, please shut up.”
Jin Dadao raised his eyebrows and said unhappily.
Lin Bei smiled and nodded. “Then I’ll leave first. I’ll come back to you when I collect new Extraordinary life force!”
“Get lost!”
Jin Dadao waved his hand and disappeared into the grocery store.
Lin Bei left the Holy Light Village with the Origin Returning Array and returned to the secret room in the mansion deep in Dark Moon Valley.
“Let’s begin.”
Lin Bei took out Extraordinary life force and injected it into the Origin Returning Array.
On the other side, Qiqi condensed her soul power and injected it into the Origin Returning Array.
Buzz!
The Origin Returning Array trembled slightly.
Lin Bei stared at the gradually condensing figure in the array and breathed.
“This… cough cough…”
Suddenly, Lin Bei’s eyes widened. In the Origin Returning Array, a fair body condensed nakedly and almost made his nose bleed.
It had to be said that Qiqi’s figure was really good.
“Am I good-looking?”
In the Origin Returning Array, Qiqi opened her eyes and asked with a smile.
“Alright… Ahem, I didn’t see anything!”
Lin Bei coughed dryly and turned his head to the side.
Damn it, isn’t this making people commit crimes?
Lin Bei closed his eyes and did not dare to think too much.
After a while, Lin Bei smelled a fragrance. A soft figure fell into his arms.
“Qiqi, you…”
“Thank you, Lin Bei.”
Qiqi reached out and placed her finger on Lin Bei’s lips. “Don’t speak. Let me lean in your arms for a while more.”
“…”
Lin Bei was silent. He felt Qiqi lean against his chest and shed warm tears.
“Sigh—”
Lin Bei sighed in his heart.
He was thinking, how was this Second World like a game?
The people here were flesh and blood. He could not simply treat them as a string of data.
“This world is becoming more and more real.”
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. Thinking back to his previous life, he had also experienced a lot, but he had never realized that these existences called NPCs by many players actually had such real emotions.
“Perhaps this is not a game to begin with. Instead, it’s another world.”
Lin Bei thought to himself, “And we are just passersby in this world.”
“What are you thinking?”
In Lin Bei’s arms, Qiqi looked up at Lin Bei, who was silent with his eyes closed.
“I’m thinking about what kind of world this is.”
As Lin Bei spoke, he opened his eyes and looked at Qiqi. The emotions that had been brewing for a long time suddenly dissipated. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He looked into the distance and said with a dry mouth, “Why aren’t you wearing clothes?”
“Put them on me.”
“What did you say?”
Lin Bei’s eyes darkened.
Damn, is there a mistake?
Is this Qiqi?
In his impression, Qiqi had always been quiet.
“Hehe, from today onwards, I’m your Qiqi! Previously, I was just a soul clone that could dissipate at any time. Now, I’m the real me!”
Qiqi leaned against Lin Bei’s chest and smiled. “I’ve decided. I’ll rely on you for the rest of my life! Don’t think of leaving me behind!”
“…Are you serious?”
Was this a confession of love?
Lin Bei was stunned.
Including his previous life, he had been single for decades.
Unexpectedly, there was actually a time when someone confessed love to him!
Of course, this person was not from the real world, but from the Second World!
However, it did not matter.
“Yes! I’m very serious! I know that your life is destined to be unusual! I’ll face these things with you! So, please don’t abandon me!”
Qiqi said nervously.
“What are you thinking? Why would I abandon you?”
Lin Bei smiled and hugged Qiqi. “Then we have a deal. From now on, we won’t leave each other.”
Speaking of which, the two of them had been through life and death together. Although they had only been together for less than a month, their experiences together during this period of time could be considered to have been ups and downs.
Lin Bei did not care if this was a game. To him, facing everything by himself was very lonely.
It was not bad to have someone by his side.
“Yes! We won’t leave each other!”
Qiqi smiled brightly and tears flowed down her face.
He accepted!
The two of them hugged each other tightly.
…
The night passed.
Lin Bei slowly woke up.
“You’re awake?”
Qiqi’s gentle voice sounded in his ears.
“Yes, how long have I been asleep?”
“Seven or eight hours.”
“That long?”
“You’ve been busy recently and are already very tired. And last night…”
“Ahem, um, let’s go to the Holy Light City. There are still two to three hours before the Blood Demon Token refreshes. Let’s give the Soul Crystal to my mentor, Alina. This way, she can recover to her peak state as soon as possible!”
“Yeah.”
Qiqi nodded and helped Lin Bei put on his clothes. Then, the two of them set off to Holy Light City.
