Chapter 4
Using the same method, observation and gestures, she had successfully checked into an inn. According to the cash register she saw at the inn, the gold coin she gave out was enough for her to stay for ten days.
The person who showed him in was a cat-man, with a long, thin tail and a distinctly feline face. He walked in front of her, his ears twitching, looking very seductive.
Li Hao entered the room and closed the door. She first used her phone to take a full photo. The room was quite nice, with a washroom. She also saw the toilet in this world.
The bed was firm but adequate.
--Just think of it as traveling abroad and you will be back in ten days.
Lin Lan comforted Li Hao. She had been watching the live broadcast and could feel the girl's nervousness and helplessness. Although she was still unsure whether the time travel story was true or not, she felt that Li Hao was innocent.
"Thank you. I feel much safer with you around." Li Hao nodded.
She could easily stay in this hotel, go out for lunch every day, and make it through ten days. Her phone only had a few percent battery left. Luckily, she still had a charger, but even with one, she couldn't livestream like this every day.
"My phone doesn't have that much battery now. From now on, I will start live streaming at noon every day for an hour." She will stay at home if possible and just stay in this hotel. She can stick to it.
As for the idea of shining in another world and reaching the pinnacle of life, she didn't even think about it. She didn't have any other cheat codes, but if she had an invincible cheat code, it would be a different story.
You have to know that any of those monsters could bite her head off. And those orcs were either holding knives or axes. If she had a modern weapon, she wouldn't be so panicked.
Looking at the closed live broadcast room, Lin Lan relaxed his shoulders.
"Okay, the live broadcast is over. What do you two think? I think this is time travel." Li Maoxue spoke first. It obviously had nothing to do with him, but this guy just didn't want to leave. However, seeing that he put forward a lot of useful suggestions, the other two did not chase him away.
"Not necessarily. Real-time AI-generated images have been released overseas before, and I hear videos can even be generated with AI," Lin Lan said, but she added, "I think Li Hao is at least innocent. She might be being kept in the dark."
"AI doesn't have such a large amount of computing power. Besides, there is no need to use a small anchor as an entry point for such a large game. There are better things to do with him." Li Maoxue refuted this statement.
"Regardless of whether it's a time travel or not, we just have to wait. We'll know in ten days if she suddenly returns. If it's a conspiracy, they'll have already made their move." Wang Bing had also compiled the last bit of information and sent it to his leader, Luo Guokang. "But I also think this is all too magical... but who knows, maybe it really is a magical thing."
As staff, they have to consider both the safety of citizens and whether there might be interference from foreign forces. This is especially true since the initial incident was fermenting online. Could it be another entertainment-related incident?
"Right? You've been watching the livestream for so long, don't you think it's possible? Then we're witnessing history!" Li Maoxue said, moving closer to Lin Lan. "Lin Lan, can you give me an account? I want to watch the livestream myself, and I can be of great help. As you can see, I'm quite useful. Three ideas are always better than two."
Lin Lan packed up her computer and was about to leave the meeting room, but in the end, after much persuasion from Li Maoxue, she gave him an account.
Director Luo Guokang, who received the summary information, looked at the data above and the judgment written by Wang Bing during the live broadcast for several hours.
He said to Wang Bing who was reporting. "Bring Li Hao back safely first. I'll have someone investigate the details. Be careful for ten days. Report any problems to me."
After Wang Bing left, Director Luo couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and finally picked up the phone on the table and made a call.
This matter is very complicated. If it is a problem of hostile forces, then it must be handed over to the National Security Bureau for handling. He has reported the matter immediately.
The National Security Bureau has already started an investigation, but they can only handle this matter temporarily until the nature of the matter is determined.
He wasn't sure if Li Hao had truly traveled through time. If he had, why was the livestream still usable? Neither scientific nor metaphysical methods could explain the logic behind this.
However, protecting the people's safety is a must. Fortunately, Wang Bing's work ability is still good, and he successfully got Li Hao out of danger.
The next day, when Li Hao woke up, her stomach was rumbling. She groaned, her eyes half open, and stared at the wooden ceiling. It took her a moment to realize she had truly traveled through time. She was now in a hotel, not her cozy home.
She pulled out her phone and checked the time. It was 11:00. The phone was fully charged. She removed the charger and saw that the original five bars now had three remaining, meaning it could be fully charged once more.
After checking the time, she turned off her phone. She didn't plan to eat right away. The restaurant was packed, so it would be best to wait until after 2 p.m. Plus, she'd only have to eat once a day and leave the house once. Fewer trips meant fewer accidents, which made sense. There was water in the room, too, so at least she didn't have to leave the house to drink.
She lay there like this until 2 a.m. Unable to fall asleep, she leaned against the window and watched the passers-by outside. This other world looked very exciting at first glance, but excitement naturally came with danger.
As soon as 2 o'clock arrived, she turned on the video and started to go out. On the way, she chatted quietly with the barrage.
--How's the weather there? Are there any special weather conditions?
"It feels like spring. Last night, there was a moon, but unlike the sun, there was only one. There were a lot of stars, some of which were very large. I didn't feel anything else."
--There's a plant on the roadside in front of you on the right. Can you take a closer look?
Following the other person's instructions, I gave the plant a close-up shot.
Perhaps because the day went smoothly, Li Hao felt more relaxed. But then something happened that taught Li Hao that the other world was a different world. And it was a very dangerous one.
Li Hao still ordered the set meal from yesterday. She spent a silver coin and got back a change of not a copper coin. As she was concentrating on eating the meat, a roar made her look up.
A group of people rushed in angrily and headed towards a table of guests right in front of Li Hao.
Before Li Hao could react, the two groups collided. The leader took out a knife and slashed at a seated guest, shouting curses that Li Hao couldn't understand.
She instinctively picked up her phone and hid behind the wall. Compared to the other people in the restaurant who were calm and composed, Li Hao looked very embarrassed.
She instinctively sought the sense of security that the barrage brought her.
--What happened? Can you hold it up and film it?
Li Hao raised her phone and pointed the camera at the entire scene of fighting. Inevitably, she saw the bloody scene. Living under the red flag, in the safest country on Earth, this was a horrific scene she had never witnessed before.
The slashing sword cut directly into the flesh. She didn't dare to watch at all and lowered her head, but she didn't forget to raise her hand to hand the screen to the person on the other side of the live broadcast room.
Her mind was full of wild thoughts, and she even wondered if the livestream would be shut down due to such a horrific scene. But the gradually pervasive smell of blood brought her back to reality. So the blood of people from other worlds was like this too, and smelled like this too.
Perhaps Li Hao's luck had run out, and a piece of his arm was chopped off and flew right in front of Li Hao. Her eyes happened to see the arm with bones exposed. She quickly raised her head, not daring to look at the arm at close range.
Just then, another group of people rushed in. This new group was obviously different, wearing uniform armor. They surrounded the brawlers in a well-trained manner. The leader, a cloaked man, shouted something loudly, but the two groups, already blood-thirsty, did not stop.
But the man in the cloak raised his hand, a golden light appeared, and suddenly, all the people were tied up.
This time, not only Li Hao was shocked, the three people on the other side of the screen also exclaimed.
Today in Li Hao's live broadcast room, Wang Bing is still recording, Lin Lan is communicating, and Li Maoxue volunteered.
"Wow, there really is magical fighting spirit! I knew this must be a magical world!" Li Maoxue said excitedly.
"Let Li Hao take careful pictures so he doesn't miss any." Wang Bing also said.
"Isn't this too gory?" Lin Lan said, she didn't dare to watch it. Wang Bing took the keyboard and continued to post comments.
Because of panic and fear, Li Hao's hands were shaking slightly, which made the picture in the live broadcast room a little blurry.
--Please take a closer look and focus the picture; it's a bit blurry now.
Li Hao frowned as he looked at the comments in the live broadcast room, but still used his other hand to support his filming hand to make the picture as stable and clear as possible.
The bound people finally quieted down, and several of the dozen or so men lay motionless on the ground. Most were missing arms and legs, and blood had formed a pool, flowing out.
Li Hao felt a tightness in her chest, but fear made her suppress the urge to vomit, because no one around her behaved strangely, and her previous retreat had already attracted a lot of attention.
The instinct of survival made Li Hao's mind work at high speed. This feeling of being detached from herself always appeared in the past when Li Hao was at the bottom of her health while playing games. At that time, her fans joked that only when she was at the bottom of her health could she become a god.
Li Hao had never imagined such a situation could happen in real life. She felt unwell, her hands were shaking, and she felt a strong urge to vomit. Yet, she stood there quietly, her phone in hand, watching this "lively" scene like everyone else.
After the cloaked man took control of the scene, he separated the two groups, and at the same time, the dead people on the ground were dragged away by the people in armor.
Apparently, these armored men were the ones maintaining law and order in this area. One of the men had already fallen unconscious, and while they were talking about something, one of the armored men pulled out a red bottle from one of the men's arms. He walked over to the unconscious man, who was the one whose arm had been chopped off and flew in front of Li Hao. The armored man opened the bottle, pried open the man's mouth, and poured the liquid into the bottle.
A scene that made Li Hao open his eyes wide happened. The opponent's arm had been bleeding continuously, but the bleeding soon stopped, and a granulation tissue grew in front of Li Hao. After drinking a bottle of medicine, a miniature arm appeared.
What kind of medicine was that that could actually produce such a miraculous scene? If he drank a few more bottles, would his entire hand grow back? Regeneration of a severed limb! This was something completely impossible in their world.
This scene not only shocked Li Hao, but also made the three people on the other side of the screen open their mouths wide.
