People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 530 Challenging the Dao Venerable? (Ninth update! 15500 monthly votes added! Please vote!)

It was noon, the weather was great, but the clouds were huge, which is a characteristic of Dongzhou, as it is near the sea and has plenty of moisture.

"Brother Qi, let me tell you, our virtual reality here, although it's quite different from the game pods at the Jiaolong Cup, is still very immersive. I heard that the boss got some outdated equipment from the lab, and it's 50% realistic."

"If it weren't for the fact that the boss is a friend of our uncle, we really wouldn't have been able to play at this time."

On the subway, Yan Zhengwen squeezed next to Li Qi, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, clearly very much looking forward to what was to come.

Li Qi's gaze, however, fell upon the video that Yan Songyue had just watched, which was sitting on his other side.

The male protagonist in the video is saying something invincible: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I only kill those I want to kill."

"You're not a bad person, I don't want to kill you, you can leave now!"

"..."

The protagonist is none other than Li himself.

Or rather, his pseudonym, Daozun.

Li Qi himself hadn't expected that his sudden inspiration to make a mask would have such a good effect.

In a sense, this sense of mystery is more attractive to many people.

The only problem, if I had to pinpoint, is that because of the mystery surrounding me, all the acquaintances around me either want to be my dogs or want to marry me. This whole situation is just so abstract and unpredictable.

As the video ended, Yan Songyue flicked her finger and scrolled to a new video. Immediately, a man in black wearing a demon mask jumped out, claiming to be codenamed "Ten Evils" and challenging the Daoist Master by name...

Undoubtedly, this is just an internet celebrity trying to ride the wave of popularity; they're not even qualified to enter the country.

But being infamous is still fame, and that's the route they've taken; they've mastered the secrets of generating buzz.

"Brother Qi, that's virtual reality! Aren't you even a little bit excited about it?!"

Yan Zhengwen realized that Li Qi's attention was not on him at all, and immediately felt that he was being ignored.

"It's not a matter of whether you're looking forward to it or not."

"I'm thinking about how much force I should use when I hit you later."

"So that we don't accidentally break up because you're too strong."

Li Qi turned his head and said solemnly.

"Brother Qi, you're just entering the realm, not becoming an immortal. Don't you know what it means to be outnumbered? There are so many of us, with so many guns, why would we be afraid of you?!"

"How many more can they beat after entering the country?!"

Yan Zhengwen made a solemn vow.

Actually, he felt that Li Qi had changed a lot this year. In previous years, when he played with him, he was always a bit shy, unlike now, when he can make all sorts of jokes and is very humorous.

Undoubtedly, chatting with humorous and witty people is more interesting.

Soon, the three of them got off the subway and walked for another hundred meters or so before they saw a huge arcade in front of them.

Li Si wasn't there at the time; she was at home taking online classes, which was quite demanding, but she seemed to enjoy it.

And this is their destination: Fantasy World Video Games.

In fact, this place wasn't called this place more than half a month ago.

The boss is undoubtedly insightful. Upon seeing the lifting of the ban on virtual reality technology, he immediately realized that technological development is definitely a gradual process and cannot be achieved by leaps in the air. There are finished products, and naturally there are also early prototypes.

While virtual reality technology will undoubtedly become widespread eventually, it will take time. He's capitalizing on this time difference; a year or two is enough for the boss to make a fortune. In reality, many money-making opportunities only last a year or two, and countless people accumulate wealth in a short period that would have taken a lifetime.

Originally, this arcade didn't have much foot traffic due to its location, but now it has been revitalized.

As Li Qi and his group appeared, someone in the shade not far away was waving their arms.

There were seven people over there, but not all of them were from the Yan family; some were from other families as well.

Li Qi could find corresponding figures for these people in his memory.

Five of them were relatives, and only two were girls, surnamed Han, who were members of the Han family.

On Gu Cheng's side, the Han family was also a powerful clan with considerable influence, and there were many marriages between them.

Li Qi remembered that the two girls from the Han family were sisters; the younger sister was named Han Xinling, and the older sister was named Han Yuxiu.

The name "Xinling Yuxiu" (心灵玉秀) carries a good meaning.

In Li Qi's memory, the older sister had a gentle and mild personality, while the younger sister was somewhat arrogant and haughty...

Each has its own unique characteristics.

When Li Qi and his two companions arrived, almost all of the seven people looked at Li Qi with curiosity and contemplation, but no matter how much they searched their memories, they could not find the corresponding information.

Li Qi's demeanor and bearing also left them puzzled; he didn't seem like a powerful figure, but he wasn't an ordinary person either.

"Sister Songyue, is this your friend?!"

Among the eight people, one of the more outgoing boys spoke up and asked a question.

The boy's name is Yan Shusheng. According to seniority, he is also Li Qi's cousin, but not from Li Qi's maternal grandfather's branch. Instead, he is a descendant of his maternal grandfather's younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Yan Songyue revealed an expression of "I knew it," and could only explain, "He is Li Qi, the Li Qi who used to play with us all the time."

"Boys change a lot as they grow up, so don't be surprised."

Upon hearing this, these people did indeed see some of the old Li Qi in him. So, although they felt the change was too great, they still reluctantly accepted the reason, since seeing is believing.

However, Li Qi clearly sensed that as his identity was revealed, Han Xinling and Han Yuxiu's eyes showed a momentary disappointment, as if some expectation had been shattered.

Clearly, their preconceived notions about Li Qi have diminished their current perception of him.

But none of these things matter.

Ten minutes later, a group of people entered the metal cabin. The scene immediately changed. The ten people were randomly divided into two teams and appeared on both sides of a warehouse. At the same time, they were dressed in standard combat uniforms like mercenaries and were carrying guns.

Then, Li Qi began a rampage, a massacre. Every opponent who showed their face was shot, hitting the bullseye every time. It was as if the bullets had eyes. He paid special attention to Yan Zhengwen, who had questioned his abilities.

While this virtual game does have ballistic assist, this is a bit too outrageous, making one wonder if he's using cheats, resulting in a completely unpleasant gaming experience.

So after playing one game, Li Qi went to the rest area, and at that moment, Han Yuxiu also came out.

"Li Qi, I didn't expect that you would have entered the country after a year. It's quite surprising."

Han Yuxiu spoke softly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at the knife at Li Qi's waist.

In her memory, Li Qi was always unremarkable and shy, and he never showed any remarkable abilities.

But unexpectedly, this nobody managed to enter the country without anyone noticing.
