Chapter 135 Getting Better and Better
Ji Wei was stunned for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Seventh Sister, what exactly are those worlds? What is their relationship with our world? Why do I have a past life?"
Lin Xia remained silent for a long while, her mind filled with countless thoughts, before a reassuring smile appeared on her face: "Ji Wei, I am also searching for these answers, and I don't know them yet either."
Ji Wei sat down at the stone table opposite Lin Xia, poured herself a cup of tea, and took out the pastries she had just made: "Then let's take our time looking for them. Seventh Sister, try my new pastries. I never thought I would be able to make pastries by myself one day."
"I'm here today to discuss with you whether we should recruit some players back to build a force on the island. Now is the perfect time, as there will definitely be more and more conflicts in the future," Ji Wei said solemnly.
“We have an absolute advantage and we still have the upper hand. Don’t look at me like that. I’m yours now. Don’t even think about kicking me out. I’m settling down here.”
Lin Xia chuckled: "Why would I chase you away? You're a lucky star." After a moment's thought, Lin Xia directly assigned Ji Wei the position of Deputy Island Master and granted her some external permissions.
Ji Wei looked at Lin Xia with surprise, and Lin Xia smiled: "Since you suggested it, of course you should do it."
"Haha, don't worry, Seventh Sister, I'm sure I can handle this. I'll send you the plan I've come up with, you can take a look first."
Ji Wei's fair face is still fair, but compared to when they first met, her face has lost its fragility and scheming, and instead exudes more composure and confidence.
"By the way, Seventh Sister, I've been promoted, shouldn't my salary increase too?" Ji Wei asked with a mischievous smile.
"Don't worry, you'll get your share too."
"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to tell you today, Seventh Sister." Ji Wei took out a mid-grade energy stone, and his water-based supernatural power surged in his hand, enveloping the energy stone. A few impurities quickly seeped out.
After a while, Ji Wei opened her hand, and the mid-grade energy stone in her hand had actually been purified into a high-grade energy stone.
Ji Wei wiped the sweat from her brow. It was too much for her; it had exhausted all her supernatural abilities.
Lin Xia gave Ji Wei a complicated look before picking up the high-grade energy stone. She absorbed its energy and felt it for a while, only to find that it was no different from the high-grade energy stone in her hand.
She tapped the table, picked up a pen and paper, and started writing quickly. After finishing, she handed the paper to Ji Wei: "Take a look at these. They are cultivation techniques and spells that I obtained from the previous world. You can use them as a reference."
"Cultivating immortality?!" Ji Wei exclaimed with envy. "I used to love reading cultivation novels. Back then, I even thought, 'I wish I could cultivate immortality.' But, the apocalypse in the cultivation world? Wouldn't that mean there's no return?"
"It was indeed very difficult, but I was lucky and didn't get too involved in the apocalypse, so I escaped it."
Ji Wei's eyes darted around as he leaned closer to Lin Xia: "Then... then was I a very powerful cultivator in my past life?"
Lin Xia smiled and her eyes narrowed: "I thought you weren't going to ask."
"Of course I'm curious, tell me about it, Seventh Sister." Ji Wei brought over the snacks, smiling ingratiatingly.
Lin Xia recounted Jiang Yansheng's story, and Ji Wei jumped up: "What? I was a man in my past life?"
"But I'm that powerful? I'm actually the chosen one? But my death was too tragic." Ji Wei paced back and forth, unable to sit still.
"Was my past life too great? I'm starting to admire him." Ji Weiyi sat down, crossed her arms, and remained silent for a long time.
"So, all my current talent and everything I have should belong to him, right?" Ji Wei suddenly looked up, her face full of conflict.
Lin Xia understood her dilemma and solemnly said, "Ji Wei, you are the same person. He is your past life, or one of your past lives. Your soul imprints are the same."
Ji Wei was still conflicted, feeling unworthy. Lin Xia patted her shoulder and said, "What are you thinking? Everything he did was in accordance with his heart and his logic. He never thought about getting anything in return."
Ji Weiyi was taken aback, and ran her fingers through her hair: "You're right, he's not some ordinary mortal like me. Do you think I have any chance of meeting him?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "Impossible. However, if you cultivate diligently, you might awaken your past memories."
Ji Wei was puzzled, but still nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Lin Xia posted a recruitment notice in the world, leaving Ji Wei's online name, and Ji Wei quickly got busy.
Lazy Cat managed the territory where his shop was located, right next to his parents' place. He cultivated with them and would patrol the streets whenever he had free time. He was incredibly happy.
He became more lively, and whenever no one was around, he would talk to them about what happened in the game. Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Lin Xia simply set up a stage for him and gave him a portable megaphone.
Have him give a lecture every afternoon to the islanders about the taboos in the game, the things to do first after entering the game, the resources to collect, and suitable hiding places in the apocalypse, etc.
Everyone was very interested, and many people came to the island to listen to the lectures when the time came. Gradually, some people with their own experience signed up, wanting to share their experiences with others.
This project has continued, with many people taking turns to share their experiences in the game. Some are happy to share, while others like to show off, but regardless of their attitude, everyone benefits.
A-Tong brought in a photocopier and a paper machine, and Lin Xia contributed money and effort to establish a library. Donating books could be exchanged for energy stones, and also for the opportunity to read books there permanently for free.
People donated generously, and Atong was responsible for summarizing everyone's experiences and insights, printing them into a booklet, and distributing it to everyone for free.
The mysterious veil of the game has been lifted. Those who hadn't entered the game before were anxious, afraid, worried, and also longing for it. Now that there's a body-strengthening method, they no longer have the same eagerness as before.
After all, you can gradually increase your strength by surviving outside, but once you enter the game, it's a matter of life and death, so why bother?
But everyone is worried. Now that there is a channel, we naturally want to understand it well, so that we can use it to save our lives if that day ever comes.
Lin Xia tried to contact that player who used to search for news reports everywhere, and she actually got through to him. When she heard that she wanted to hire him to come to the island and report the news to the world, he didn't hesitate and immediately agreed happily.
Lin Xia is different now than before. He really didn't dare to report secretly and was thinking of a way to get hired.
Although he belatedly realized that Lin Xia must have discovered his secret report that time, and that his secret of leveling up must have also been discovered, Lin Xia did not make trouble that time, so naturally he would not seek revenge later.
Moreover, she was willing to give him a chance. He patted his chest, relieved that he had met Island Master Lin Xia.
I was already nearby, and now I was rushing to the island without stopping. My heart was filled with excitement. These days of wandering around looking for news were finally coming to an end!
