(Back to the original world)
"Li Jianqiang, Li Jianqiang, wake up."
How are you?
"What the hell are you all standing there for? Where's the doctor?"
"Mr. Zhou, all of Ms. Li's vital signs are normal. Don't worry, she will wake up soon."
Li Peiyu felt her mind go blank, her consciousness becoming hazy, as if floating in a vast void. But the shouts around her grew louder and louder, like surging waves crashing against her eardrums. She slowly opened her eyes, and a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face suddenly loomed in front of her.
She stared blankly at the person in front of her, wondering who this person was.
"Li Jianqiang, you're finally awake. You scared me to death." The familiar voice rang out again.
Who else could she be called Li Jianqiang? Zhou Yanbai, the dissolute second son of the Zhou family.
Li Peiyu's mind went blank as she listened to Zhou Yanbai's endless rambling. His voice was sometimes clear, sometimes indistinct, as if it came from a distant horizon, making her thoughts even more chaotic.
After a long while, she slowly came to her senses, as if waking from a long dream. She struggled to sit up and began to look around.
She lay inside a white, metallic-looking cabin, its cold hue radiating a mysterious aura under the lights. Before her stood a massive, high-performance gaming console, its surface flashing various indicator lights—red, green, and blue—a dazzling display like starlight.
"What happened?" Li Peiyu's voice was a little hoarse, filled with deep doubt.
She remembered that she had transmigrated into the book.
"Zhou Gouzi, I remember I transmigrated into a book."
"It's not that you transmigrated into a book; they mistook you for a game user and pulled you into the game," Zhou Yanbai quickly explained.
"A game?" Li Peiyu frowned, her face full of confusion.
"Yes, our company is developing a future virtual reality interactive game, and the game's background is the famous novel 'The Rich Young Master Falls for the Beautiful School Beauty'."
A staff member added, "The male lead is Gu Yan, the female lead is Lin Wanwan, and the supporting actress is Li Peiyu."
Zhou Yanbai continued, "Isn't it because you share the same name as the female supporting character that they're treating you as the person who played Li Peiyu?"
Li Peiyu remembered that she had come here to find her long-lost high school rival, Zhou Yanbai, to discuss a project investment. She arrived early in the morning and was sitting and waiting for Zhou Yanbai when she heard someone call out, "Li Peiyu, is Li Peiyu here yet?" So she went over and said, "I am Li Peiyu, I'm here."
Then someone led her into a waiting room. She had stayed up all night the night before and fell asleep while waiting, never expecting to transmigrate into a book. Now it seems she didn't transmigrate into a book, but into a game.
Then everything she experienced was fake.
But that's not right; her experience was completely different from what was described in the novel.
“Zhou Gouzi, what I experienced was different from the world in the novel.”
"Before the game starts, it disrupts the player's brainwaves, blocks previous memories, and then implants the character's memories. However, due to a system bug, your memory blocking failed, and you overturned the entire game world."
Li Peiyu lowered her head, a deep and indescribable sadness welling up in her heart.
Her Lu Yuzhi was a virtual game character! The person who had experienced countless sweet moments with her in the game was actually just a string of code.
"If you feel better, could you join the discussion with the other participants?" Zhou Yanbai asked softly.
“Other participants?” Li Peiyu looked up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, this game has ten players, each experiencing a different character from the novel. Other unimportant characters from the novel are played by AI."
“Then Lu Yuzhi…” Li Peiyu’s voice trembled slightly.
“I knew you’d ask him. His experience was with the game’s investor, Shen Yizhou. But Li Peiyu, everything you’ve experienced is just a game. Don’t take it seriously.” Zhou Yanbai’s tone was serious, carrying a warning.
"Oh," Li Peiyu responded softly, her heart filled with disappointment.
Fortunately, Lu Yuzhi is not code, nor is he AI.
"Um, that, that..." Li Peiyu blushed and stammered, too embarrassed to say it.
She actually wanted to ask if the intimate scenes would be broadcast. There are quite a few, after all.
Zhou Yanbai quickly understood what she meant: "The game scenes are presented in the player's mind and will not appear on the screen. Various data are also monitored by AI and fed back in text form."
"Oh." Li Peiyu finally felt relieved.
Let's go.
Zhou Yanbai brought Li Peiyu to the discussion meeting.
Everyone sat around a long oval table, and the other participants were already in place.
Li Peiyu's gaze first fell on Shen Yizhou, and her heart began to race involuntarily. Shen Yizhou looked exactly like Lu Yuzhi; that familiar face seemed to instantly pull her back to those wonderful times in the game. However, his expression was chillingly serious, as if he didn't recognize her at all.
Li Peiyu looked around again; they were all familiar faces: Gu Yan, Lin Wanwan, Qiao An, Wang Boyang, Guo Jiahe, Aunt Li, Qin Mingyue, and Song Yang.
The faces are all familiar, but the names on the nameplates on the tables are real names.
Li Peiyu stared blankly at Lu Yuzhi's name tag, which read Shen Yizhou. She couldn't help but steal a glance at his eyes, hoping to find even a trace of familiar warmth in them, but all she received in response was a cold gaze.
After Li Peiyu took her seat, Zhou Yanbai chaired the discussion.
