CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 16: MEETING CHEN LONG’ER_2

Everything that happened later in the game will not play out again.

For the first time, Lin Qianxuan felt the sensation of life and death being beyond his control.

That sense of powerlessness, he had never experienced before.

Even when first entering society and encountering numerous injustices, he hadn’t felt it.

Xuan Country is too peaceful!

So peaceful that he had once forgotten, it wasn’t the world that was peaceful, just the country he was in.

In his heart, a strong desire for power began to grow.

He longed for his current self to be the game character who had already obtained the [Dragon Heart] and could crush everything with an invincible stance.

Lin Qianxuan clenched his fist, standing in front of the bathroom mirror, fiercely washed his face.

He was a bit scared.

What if he failed?

This would really mean risking his life!

If something unexpected happened in the middle, he would die!

Complex thoughts whirled in his mind.

After some time, Lin Qianxuan gradually lifted his head, looking at his disheveled self in the mirror, his eyes slowly transitioned from confusion to determination.

Without mastering extraordinary power, not to mention how many sights his future self would miss, just the feeling of destiny being out of his control was hard to accept.

The current Xuan Country is very peaceful, but what about the future?

There is a side to this world that they do not know.

If those Transcendents began to surface, with their grasp of power, would they be willing to live an ordinary life?

This opportunity is almost delivered to his doorstep, just waiting for him to open his mouth and receive the gift from destiny.

If he doesn’t even have this bit of courage, it can only mean that he truly doesn’t deserve this gift.

That night, Lin Qianxuan went to bed very early.

Usually, he wouldn’t go to sleep before eleven, but tonight he forced himself to rest at half-past nine.

The next morning, the six o’clock alarm woke Lin Qianxuan.

He first washed up, then called the front desk to send breakfast over.

After munching slowly, Lin Qianxuan sent a message to Yan Yilin and the group, expressing his desire to wander alone today.

Though he sent the message at that time, Yan Yilin replied immediately.

He seemed worried about not taking good care of Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan explained for a while, comforting him, and reminded Lin Qianxuan of places to avoid due to poor security.

After preparing everything, Lin Qianxuan took a "Cyan Fruit" from his throat lozenge tin and ate it.

In an instant, his entire being seemed to reboot, with his mind becoming exceptionally clear.

Numerous details from the strategy surfaced in his mind one by one.

Lin Qianxuan shouldered his backpack, wore his simultaneous interpretation headphones, and stood up to leave the room.

Downstairs, Lin Qianxuan requested three more breakfasts from the hotel, which were for the Dragon Girl.

After receiving the food, Lin Qianxuan arrived outside the Splendid Hotel.

In the original storyline, Lin Qianxuan, who was taking a morning walk, met the Dragon Girl in an alley.

Since it’s a walk, the Dragon Girl’s location shouldn’t be far from the hotel.

She is in an alleyway on a street behind the hotel.

The straight-line distance from the Splendid Hotel is less than a thousand meters.

There is an artificial stream near there.

The Dragon Girl probably came ashore along this stream at night.

Lin Qianxuan actually considered waiting nearby early to intercept the Dragon Girl.

But he couldn’t afford the butterfly effect of fate.

So he ultimately gave up.

He had to execute everything strictly according to the deduction.

Lin Qianxuan’s steps were steady and light, with time slipping away bit by bit in his hands, but he wasn’t in a hurry, at least not until he reached that alley.

Time, June 5th, 7:38 a.m.

Lin Qianxuan stepped onto the street behind the hotel.

This street’s name is White Creek Street, which would sometimes have market stalls if it were a market day.

But today was a cold day.

Lin Qianxuan walked forward, passing a dessert shop along the way, he glanced at it but didn’t stop his steps.

He quickly covered half the street.

There’s a gap in the railing here, with a bridge connecting to the opposite side of the artificial creek.

Lin Qianxuan stopped his steps and turned to look at the alley between the two buildings on the left.

The discarded cardboard boxes were stacked together, vaguely covering something underneath.

At the moment of seeing her, Lin Qianxuan inexplicably saw the entwined purple Misty Qi on her body.

"The aura of destiny?"

Nobody told Lin Qianxuan, but he just knew what it meant.

Moreover, he could see this aura dispersing rapidly, and it would dissipate completely in no more than three days.

Lin Qianxuan had an intuition that if he could preserve this aura of destiny, the future of this world would change significantly.

He could also reap considerable benefits from it.

At this moment, even though Lin Qianxuan remained in a clear-headed state under the "Cyan Fruit," his heart nonetheless hammered wildly.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qianxuan stepped forward.

His movement seemed to disturb the Dragon Girl under the cardboard.

But Lin Qianxuan didn’t care.

He stopped about a meter in front of the cardboard, his gaze faintly meeting that of the Dragon Girl below.

Then he opened his backpack and took out the steaming breakfast.

"Eat." Lin Qianxuan handed the packed bag to the Dragon Girl.

The Dragon Girl paused for a moment, appearing somewhat hesitant, but the aroma of the food in the bag tempted her, making it difficult to think rationally.

After about two breaths, she cautiously extended her claw, covered in scales, towards the bag in Lin Qianxuan’s hand.

For some reason, Lin Qianxuan didn’t feel scared; his gaze was calm, even carrying some appreciation and joy.

The gem-like Scale Armor was naturally formed, exquisite and beautiful. What a wondrous Creation this was!

It’s truly the masterpiece of heaven and earth.

Swish~!

After gripping the bag, the Dragon Girl quickly withdrew, bringing the food in front of her, and then opened the bag and devoured it ravenously.

Lin Qianxuan took out a drink, poured it into a disposable cup for her, and said, "Eat slowly, no rush, no one is competing with you."

The Dragon Girl drank the cup in one go, and Lin Qianxuan quickly refilled it for her.

After continuously drinking three cups, she paused before vigorously gobbling down the food again.

At this point, she even cared little about the cardboard covering her, exposing most of her head.

She seemed to realize something, got a fright, and tried to cover herself with the cardboard again.

However, Lin Qianxuan on the opposite side maintained a smile and said to her, "You don’t need to cover up. You are beautiful."

Although Chen Long’Er didn’t understand what Lin Qianxuan meant, she keenly sensed his emotion.

It wasn’t fear, nor surprise, but a sense of familiarity, even affection.

Chen Long’Er met Lin Qianxuan’s gaze, her jewel-like eyes filled with curiosity.

And at this moment, Lin Qianxuan suddenly felt that the purple Misty Qi on Chen Long’Er’s body ceased dispersing, and a strand of the aura was slowly connecting with him.

Invisibly, Lin Qianxuan felt a special force emerging within him, gradually transforming his body.

Simultaneously, some simple information regarding the Dragon Girl was also acquired by Lin Qianxuan.
