Xia Chujian never told anyone the details of his clearance.
Especially after she asked her classmates indirectly and found out that none of them had experienced the "The Wrath of the Sea" copy, she became even more inclined to keep the secret.
She is now certain that many of the plots in the book are "tailor-made" for her, and no one else has ever seen these plots.
What terrified her even more was that she had changed her game name from "夏初见" (Xia Chujian) to "七杀 (Seven Kills)." It was clearly just a bout of chuunibyou, but how did it sound so similar to "七丝" (Qi Sha)?!
If you don't see the characters and only listen to the pronunciation, they are almost exactly the same!
Was the name she came up with on a whim really just a result of her middle school syndrome?
This made her feel very uneasy.
Xia Chujian finally decided to reveal some of her secrets to Huo Yushen.
She hoped that Huo Yushen was worthy of her trust.
Of course, the most important thing is that Huo Yushen’s role in the game is Pojun.
There is no need for her to say more about the relationship between Pojun and Qisha.
If there really was a person named Pojun in history, then the origin of the game would be quite problematic.
Xia Chujian continued, "Do you still remember the five levels of our course game?"
Huo Yushen nodded: "Remember."
"Level 1 - Empire Dawn."
"The second level - expanding the territory."
"The third level - troubles arise from within the family."
"Level 4 - Beichen Watch."
"The fifth one - Winter is coming."
"In general, this game is based on real events and figures from the history of the Beichen Empire. The goal is to help everyone empathize with history and learn better."
Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, everyone should have the same five levels, right?"
Huo Yushen said: "Of course, this is a school curriculum. This game is just like a textbook."
"Do you think that in the same school, or even in the same class, everyone's textbooks are different?"
Xia Chujian tilted her head and said, "What if I say that my textbook is different from yours?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes showed some doubt: "I'd like to hear the details."
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and said, "Actually, the first level I cleared wasn't 'Empire Dawn', but 'The Wrath of the Sea'."
Huo Yushen's eyes suddenly became sharp. "...'The Wrath of the Sea'? What does that have to do with the original 'Empire Dawn'?"
Xia Chujian said word by word, "If I had to explain the relationship between the two, then 'The Wrath of the Sea' should be the prequel to 'Empire Dawn'."
"Because the second level I cleared was 'Empire Dawn', and in my game timeline, that was after 'The Wrath of the Sea'."
"Then comes the third stage, expanding the territory. The fourth stage, internal strife. The fifth stage, Beichen's watch. The sixth stage, winter is coming."
"So, the total number of levels I cleared was six, not five."
"It's just that when I cleared the first level of 'The Wrath of the Sea', the game system determined that I had completed the dungeon."
"I've never played a game like this before, where the dungeon is the first level of the game."
Huo Yushen's cold and self-possessed face finally showed a trace of emotion: "...The first level, 'The Raging Sea', is actually a copy?"
"How did you trigger this copy?"
Xia Chujian shrank his neck a little guiltily and said, "That's it."
"When I first entered the game, I was still thinking about how to find Tan Tai Lin and conquer the world with him so that I could complete the game."
"Isn't this a common practice?"
"After I entered, the game system teleported me to a broken ship in the vast ocean."
"The shape of that ship simulates the sailboats used by ancient humans thousands of years ago."
"Longboat type, black hull, three tattered white sails, the portholes look quite elaborate."
"I was very interested and watched it very carefully."
"I remember the windows were carved into the shapes of various monsters, and the sides of the hull were also carved with horned demons, hideous skulls, and giant octopuses waving their tentacles."
"...Then a heavy rainstorm began to fall at sea, and I wandered around the boat, trying to find a place to hide from the rain."
"Then I went into a cabin and there was a man in animal skins."
"The man said he was going to die and went out to sea to commit suicide."
“I asked him why he wanted to commit suicide?”
"He said he was seriously ill, and the wizard in his tribe asked him to come to the sea to find a glimmer of hope."
"But he couldn't find it after searching for a long time, so he thought the wizard had tricked him and decided to die."
"Then he asked about my origins. I treated him like an NPC in the game, thinking that perhaps this kind of contact and conversation would trigger new clues, so I said that I came from a place he couldn't imagine."
"He went crazy and said I was the 'vitality' that the witches in his tribe talked about. He grabbed me by the neck and wanted to drink my blood to cure his illness."
' Of course I can't let him succeed, not even in the game.'
"I felt that once he sucked my blood, I would definitely die and be kicked out of the system."
"This will result in a point deduction!"
"So I..."
Huo Yushen seemed to be thinking: "...Actually, maybe saving him is the right strategy for you."
Xia Chujian spread his hands regretfully: "...I killed him."
