Chapter 187: Mirror Image Lin Yuyu
The matter of Zhan Sheng going to Tai Xue Sect could not be revealed to others for the time being.
Even her talent was kept a secret.
Currently, not many people recognized Zhan Sheng, so even if she suddenly disappeared, it wouldn’t particularly attract the attention of Players.
After all, most Players would leave their Sects to train at this time.
Since the Sect Master had now agreed, Zhan Sheng would begin preparing for her trip to Tai Xue Sect.
Another Player had obtained an opportunity to develop externally, while several Players still inside the Secret Realm completing Hidden Tasks were utterly bewildered.
First among them was Lin Yuyu from the Moon City Secret Realm.
Ever since Li Qianqing left, she had been in a state of confusion. She hadn’t changed maps, and inquiries to the System yielded only useless answers.
Lin Yuyu understood that now, she truly had to rely on herself.
She and Li Qianqing had explored the Moon City Secret Realm for the past few days without encountering any danger, and naturally, without any rewards either.
The situation Li Qianqing had described at the time was normal.
There were dangerous Small Worlds, and there were also non-dangerous Small Worlds.
However, based on the experience of Li Qianqing’s fellow disciples, encountering the Moon City Secret Realm would at least trigger a mysterious combat Task. This time, however, they had encountered nothing.
Lin Yuyu decided to retrace the route she had explored over the past few days.
The Moon City Ruins were mysterious and vast, ruins hidden beneath a sky of yellow sand, where one could vaguely glimpse the past glory of the Demonic Cultivator Country.
However, another Player, Mu Qiu, had mentioned that their spawn location was in the legendary Demonic Cultivator Country. So what did the Moon City Ruins represent?
Was it a place where the Demon Emperor once resided?
【Wait a moment, Yuyu, turn around and walk back and forth a few times! 】
Lin Yuyu was still live broadcasting. In the past few days, thanks to her broadcasts of Shattered Sect, Lin Yuyu had tasted the experience of becoming a top streamer overnight.
Even though her broadcasts were dull and focused on the game, and she wasn’t as skilled at driving the narrative and warming up the crowd as Han Tian, the number of viewers was comparable to Han Tian’s because she was broadcasting the Hidden Task interface.
The dense stream of Bullet Comments made Lin Yuyu’s scalp tingle.
However, after Li Qianqing left, she had been bored. Now, she had time to read the Bullet Comments, and while doing so, she noticed a particularly important piece of information.
It was clear that a viewer had seen something. Fearing that Lin Yuyu might miss her message, she paid to send a special colored Bullet Comment, making it very conspicuous.
【Turn around, walk back and forth a few times! 】
Other netizens were idly posting Bullet Comments, but when this colored Bullet Comment appeared, everyone’s spirits were lifted.
The netizens hadn’t figured anything out about this desolate place for three days. Had someone discovered a problem?
Lin Yuyu also asked doubtfully, “Walk back and forth?”
She subconsciously looked back. Behind her was still the same boundless expanse of yellow sand, and the occasional gust of wind and sand could sting the eyes.
In front of her stood a massive, collapsed, and tilted half-broken Stone Pillar, with a large portion already buried beneath the yellow sand.
This Stone Pillar was likely the largest architectural ruin; even if there were others, they were buried beneath the yellow sand and were no longer visible.
This was the conclusion she and Li Qianqing had reached after exploring for several days.
She tentatively walked back and forth, asking the Bullet Comments, “Did you discover something? What did you see?”
Since the netizens were watching the live broadcast from her perspective, there shouldn’t be anything that the netizens saw that she didn’t.
【See what? This desolate place has only been sand for the past few days, I’m about to fall asleep watching it. 】
【This Hidden Task is so boring… 】
【Han Tian’s live broadcast of Trade is even more boring; he’s currently pioneering in Liuyun Sect. 】
【A Secret Realm shouldn’t be like this, right? It doesn’t match the dangerousness I imagined for a Secret Realm. 】
【This is normal. Didn’t Li Qianqing say this Secret Realm has countless Small Worlds, each with a different style? Didn’t the streamer and other Players chat before about other Players doing different Tasks… 】
【I was expecting a dangerous journey filled with schemes and betrayals, leading to the best rewards. But this streamer’s situation isn’t like that; she’s spent three days just chatting with a Female Cultivator. 】
【Isn’t being boring also good? Isn’t this what Players pursue – complete Virtual immersion? Of course, it’s boring; it’s not edited. Think about your own life; isn’t it full of trivial matters? 】
Fortunately, Lin Yuyu was able to find time in between to trick Li Qianqing into logging off to take care of various physiological needs.
Lin Yuyu took a few steps back and forth, and suddenly her eyes narrowed.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she saw that not far ahead, as she walked back and forth, the light in her eyes seemed to refract slightly.
At this moment, that high-colored Bullet Comment reappeared.
【Yes, this spot. Go forward seven meters, walk back and forth, and pay attention to whether the light in front of you is a bit unusual. 】
The light is unusual?
Lin Yuyu was surprised by this Bullet Comment.
She walked towards the spot she had just seen, while also slightly shifting her direction left and right. A flash of light flickered in her pupils.
She saw something like a spatial distortion momentarily appear in the transparent area ahead.
Was there something?
It wasn’t just her who saw it; the netizens in the live broadcast room also saw it.
【Holy crap, there really is something! 】
【66666 How are those eyes? Neither the streamer nor I noticed. 】
【Amazing, is something about to appear in the Secret Realm? 】
【Is it a reward? Or danger? 】
…
The Bullet Comments began to erupt, and Lin Yuyu’s mind also became tense.
She couldn’t bother to look at the Bullet Comments anymore.
She slowly walked over and found that if she maintained the same route, she couldn’t see any changes ahead.
However, as she swayed left and right and tried to speed up, she finally saw a moment of clear distortion.
It was as if the world couldn’t load fast enough due to her excessive speed, creating a bug.
And in that instant, she seemed to see something moving.
Lin Yuyu raised her eyebrows and, as she attempted to touch the invisible, transparent space with her finger.
The scene before her suddenly changed.
No, another person had simply appeared before her!
Lin Yuyu was shocked to discover that standing before her was an exact replica of herself—Lin Yuyu.
She hadn’t felt it when she was creating her character, but now, looking at her own face from a third-person perspective.
That face, as delicate and pitiable as Lin Daiyu’s, but that robust physique…
Lin Yuyu looked at it and suddenly sighed, “My face is truly beautiful.”
【???? 】
【Why is there another Lin Yuyu? A Mirror Image? 】
Just as Lin Yuyu shamelessly marveled at her Character Creation skills, the Mirror Image Lin Yuyu in front of her smirked.
She raised her hand and pointed, and the patch of yellow sand beneath Lin Yuyu’s feet suddenly became as wet as mud.
Lin Yuyu exclaimed, “Holy crap!” and immediately channeled Spiritual Energy, trying to fly up.
At that moment, a Palm Thunder struck down from above. In a moment of crisis, Lin Yuyu narrowly dodged, arching her body backward in what could almost be described as a scramble.
The mud she kicked up and a bolt of lightning struck it head-on. The arc that grazed Lin Yuyu’s feet made one feel a tingling sensation.
