Because of this thought, Li Lechen doesn't want to do live streams anymore, at least not for the time being.

But this doesn't stop him from watching other people's live streams; in fact, he wants to watch even more. After all, if what the smart assistant says is true, then the world he sees through the live stream is the world he once lived in.

I checked my personal information.

The level has reached 22.

According to the settings of the live streaming platform, this level is usually reached when a person is around two hundred years old, but Li Lechen is a pay-to-win player and has reached this level by spending money.

Once you reach level 20 or above, you'll have most of the privileges. Not only will you be out of the newbie zone, but you can also watch live streams from the safe zone and the contaminated zone, and you can directly search for the live stream you want by ID.

However, it is said that the higher the level, the greater the authority. Huo Jiujian, for example, is close to level 70, so he can know a lot of secrets.

In addition, in terms of permissions, it currently has all the rights in Security Zone A except for the star privilege and exclusive bullet screen privilege, and has two categories of products on the store: water and pure natural health drinks.

Uh! As soon as Li Lechen saw these "two types of goods", he felt cheated. The mall had cheated him out of 88 billion yuan, and it didn't even count towards his experience points.

Fortunately, all the money has been earned back, and I currently have 120.7 billion Sunshine Coins in my account.

Li Lechen was thinking about how he used to be ranked fourth with over 80 billion yuan. He wondered if his account was now first or second in terms of funds.

But it's just a number after all; although it's large, the impact isn't particularly noticeable.

It's true that money only feels meaningful when it's spent.

Of course, it's also related to the fact that making money is too easy.

So the current situation is that I have enough money, but my level isn't very high. Since a higher level means I know more, I might as well keep spending money.

With that in mind, Li Lechen went directly to the list of live streams in the contaminated area.

Even with all the rights of the safe zone A, there is still a fee to enter the contaminated zone. However, it is not expensive for Li Lechen. It costs 500 coins for five minutes, and less than five minutes will be charged as five minutes.

You can level up by spending money. In the past, a few million or tens of millions was a large sum, but now you have hundreds of billions in assets. Your mindset is completely different.

Now Li Lechen truly understands why Lin Sen gave him a million-dollar reward back then. Although it's an astronomical figure to ordinary people, to him it was just pocket change. And compared to his nearly 100 billion assets, the billions he later spent on opening a portal were still small change.

I randomly clicked on a live stream.

In the live stream, a young woman was drinking water. It was the first time Li Lechen had ever seen a woman in the contaminated area.

The woman didn't seem to be in a hurry or flustered, and drank her water at a leisurely pace.

There weren't many comments, just a few occasionally popping up.

Why is the streamer always so slow? Aren't you worried about the pollution beast?

[This was completely uninteresting; it was a waste of my 500 coins.]

Why is this livestream room like this too? Have all the Pollution Beasts died out?

Is the safe zone too sturdy for the contamination beasts to breach?

[The streamer goes to check it out; if there's anything interesting, they'll give you a tip.]

"It's been several days since we've encountered any polluted beasts," Ma Qingqing said calmly after finishing her water, her tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

She then got up and opened the safety pod.

Unlike the isolation zone where everyone opens a safe cabin, in the contaminated zone, the safe cabin is not used to isolate strong ultraviolet rays and create a closed living environment, but simply as a space to accommodate rest.

So, Ma Qingqing opened the door to the safe cabin as if it were a normal door, and stepped out as if she were in a room.

In fact, the first feeling of everyone banished to the contaminated zone wasn't fear, but shock. Even those who had seen the contaminated zone on camera before, knowing it wasn't called that because the environment was polluted, but because it was occupied by contamination beasts, were still struck by its extraordinary beauty in person. The lush greenery, the pure air, the babbling brooks, and the gentle, comfortable sunlight—it all felt like a private sanctuary.

Of course, all sorts of polluted beasts will appear afterward, big and small, everywhere. Those who are driven into the polluted zone can only enter an endless state of hiding or fighting to survive after a brief period of shock.

According to platform statistics, 80% of those expelled to the contaminated zone die within 24 hours, with more than half dying within an hour of entering the zone. The death rate within three days is as high as 99.9%. Those like Fang Heng, who survive to the fourth or fifth day, or even return alive after being expelled to the contaminated zone a second time, are extremely rare.

But the situation seems to be different these past few days.

It's not that there aren't any polluted beasts. When I first arrived in the polluted area, I saw mutated butterflies, about the size of bats, fluttering their wings, with powder dripping from them. Judging by their color, they looked like the kind of thing that would cause skin to rot if it got on you. However, the mutated butterflies just flew by and didn't deliberately attack people. Later, there were some other polluted beasts of medium size, but they were mostly harmless.

So before we knew it, five or six days had passed in the contaminated area.

Ma Qingqing thought to herself that if there were no contaminated beasts in the contaminated area, or if it remained in its current state, she would rather not return to the quarantine area.

There's really nothing good about the quarantine zone; aside from surviving in the safe cabin, there's nothing else.

Thinking to himself, he had already reached the outside of the safe cabin. Sure enough, it was completely quiet outside, without any of the horrific scenes he used to witness, where he either saw the streamer being chased by the corrupted beasts or dying a gruesome death.
