After the system announcement, the towering leaderboard rose once again in the center of town. Liang Qing's position rose from 29th to 17th. After entering the top 20, her level was directly marked after her name: Level III Player.
Liang Qing looked up. Among the top 20, she was the youngest and the only female. The other player was 32 and a Level VI player. B56M28GY, the top player, remained firmly in the top spot. The player behind him was Level X. Most of the top 20 were around Level 7 or 8.
X is level ten, the maximum level.
On the main street of the town, many players looked up at the leaderboard, and many of them noticed the only Level III player in the top 20.
"This rookie is so lucky! How did she even make it into the top 20?"
"It's said that the ranking isn't just based on points held. She might have some special qualities."
"What's so special about him? Isn't it just that he has money, recruits soldiers and then reaps the team's dividends..."
"Then why don't you talk about the number one? I heard from other dungeons that he never forms a team and always goes it alone..."
The people in the bell tower heard these words clearly. Liang Qing turned around and asked the other three what their levels were.
Nie Yun and Shi Xiaofeng, who had cleared two levels in a row, were still at level 1, their names not even visible in the top 500 of the leaderboard. Allen, who had just broken away from his bound character status and become an independent player, currently had no level.
Shi Xiaofeng patted Allen on the shoulder: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. You should have a level in the next level!"
Alan didn't care about the rank, he was just sincerely happy that he had gotten rid of his subordinate position.
Liang Qing asked, "I didn't have time to ask before, where did Jason go?"
"Jason..." Allen's eyes darkened and his voice became colder. "He left. I don't know where he went."
In Dongquan, they did not see Jason among the dead souls.
"Why don't you go with him?"
"I won't betray those who trust me. Besides, you helped us."
"Have you really decided to stay here instead of returning to the real world?"
Allen lowered his head, and after a few seconds, he nodded heavily: "I want to team up with you all the time... Outside, I've always been alone..."
The boy couldn't continue, his face full of stubbornness and fragility. Nie Yun couldn't help but ruffle his hair.
How they got here wasn't important anymore. Besides surviving each level, Liang Qing was most concerned about how to escape.
During the upgrade from Level I to Level II, Liang Qing gained a skill point that allowed him to maintain full stamina throughout the level. Over the past two days and three nights, Shi Xiaofeng and Nie Yun had taken turns resting and sleeping, but Liang Qing persevered from beginning to end.
Now that the copy was closed, she felt an indescribable fatigue all over her body.
"The safe house can be used without restrictions outside the dungeon. How about you take a rest, boss, and we take a walk around the town?" Shi Xiaofeng suggested when he saw Liang Qing yawning.
"Okay." Liang Qing said, unfolded the safe house, went up to the second floor, found the most comfortable bedroom, put Liang Baobao in the inner position, patted the pillow, and fell asleep.
I was in a drowsy sleep, my consciousness floating aimlessly in the void.
She didn't know how long she slept, but she vaguely felt Baobao twisting and turning in her arms in a half-awake state. She lifted the quilt and hugged the little meat ball tightly.
The tip of her nose was filled with the fragrance of her grandmother, but her heart was filled with heavy sorrow.
She had a long and bizarre dream in which she really became Liang Baobao's biological mother.
She remembered the pain of childbirth, the countless familiar yet unfamiliar faces surrounding her bed, how she fed Liang Baobao his first mouthful of milk, how she changed his diaper for the first time, and how she burped him for the first time to put him to sleep.
In those fleeting moments, her childcare skills had been incredibly proficient, definitely not as awkward and stiff as they were now. She saw Liang Baobao sleeping soundly in her arms, regarding her as the most reliable person in the world.
She also saw another person's hands, a man's. She saw him embrace Baobao in the sunshine, and she saw him fall asleep with Baobao in his arms late at night.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
These images filled with energy and light flashed by quickly, and what appeared in Liang Qingmeng's mind was a long corridor spiraling upwards.
This is the corridor where the first instance just begins.
Realizing what was about to happen, Liang Qing's heart once again jumped into her throat. She anxiously waited for the package to drop from the sky, fearing she would miss Liang Baobao. However, in this trance, she suddenly realized that Liang Baobao had already fallen asleep in her arms, and the giant wolf's teeth had bitten off one of her arms...
The moment she accidentally dropped the package, Liang Qing was overwhelmed by fear. She lowered her head and saw the blue and white package falling rapidly, getting farther and farther away from her...
Liang Qing shuddered and woke up in bed. Without even opening her eyes, she reached for the cub and found something wet and soft.
Liang Qing opened her eyes - at some point, Liang Baobao had changed from sleeping against her to sleeping on his back with his legs spread out on her quilt, and at the same time he turned 180 degrees and rested his butt firmly on Liang Qing's face.
The diaper burst.
Liang Qing touched his face and struggled to get up from the suffocating heaviness.
She picked up Liang Baobao and held him against her chest like a kangaroo. While stroking his soft hair, which was a little damp from his deep sleep, she chuckled softly, "Liang Baobao, I just briefly traveled through time and became your real mother."
Liang Qing slept soundly. Except for waking up in the middle to hold Liang Baobao for half an hour, and then falling asleep again with him, the rest of the rest could almost be described as unconscious.
During this period, Shi Xiaofeng and the other two cooked lunch and dinner, fed Liang Baobao several times, and took a bath, but they failed to wake Liang Qing up. It was not until six o'clock in the morning of the next day that Liang Qing, who had slept almost all day, woke up from the bed refreshed.
She went downstairs and saw Liang Baobao lying on Alan's calf, who was lifting and lowering it, and Liang Baobao giggled. Nie Yun and Shi Xiaofeng were sitting at the table, eating breakfast and discussing something. There were several shopping bags next to the sofa.
Shopping bag?
Liang Qing went forward to take a look - it was indeed the kind of shopping bag that only modern chain children's clothing supermarkets have.
Nie Yun guessed what Liang Qing was thinking and immediately rushed over to hold her back: "You're finally awake! Come and look outside!"
Liang Qing opened the curtains and looked out: the ghost town shrouded in fog was gone, and all he could see were neat lawns, beautiful villas, regular roads and the blue sky dyed by the morning glow.
"What era is it now?"
"It should be around the same time as when we came here. Now Silver Spring's name has changed back to St. Augusta. The town has a population of about 100,000 and is a prosperous and harmonious place."
Liang Qing watched silently for a long time, and a strange feeling grew in his heart: Did they change the course of the town's history or patch the original BE script with a HE patch?
Before the next round of teleportation began, Liang Qing and the others returned to the town's historical museum. As expected, the dark story of miners contracting a disease and becoming mutated in St. Augusta's history had been distorted into two understated sentences: witchcraft was rampant, and countless people died and were injured.
The door leading to the secret passage in the town history museum is still there, but it has become a decorative fake door.
They arrived at Dongquan, a place transformed from a barren hillside into a veritable spring stream. In Dongquan Park, adorned with beautiful shrubs, many morning joggers came and went.
No ghosts, no zombies, no dark depths. How wonderful.
Liang Qing closed his eyes and measured the coordinates of the heart-shaped mark he saw with his footsteps, and finally stopped under an oak tree.
The other people understood and brought some small flowers, and soon a heart-shaped mark reappeared under the shade of the tree.
Liang Qing squatted down and arranged the beautiful princess dress, shoes, and hairpins one by one.
Liang Qing herself couldn't explain what a soul was, but she knew that a body without a soul would definitely not save another child who had no relationship with it, nor would it have distinct feelings of love, hate, joy, or anger.
If history could be patched up, she only hoped that Daisy's soul could find the possibility of rebirth in the patch of reincarnation.
In my next life, I want to be a happy little girl growing up in a happy and complete family.
The four people had already been mourning for a long time beneath the tree when the system transmission sounded. Their bodies uncontrollably lifted off the ground and floated into the void. Beneath their feet, the prosperous New Silver Spring Town, the oak tree, the heart-shaped sign, and Daisy's cenotaph all vanished in a white light...
