American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 148 Return to Earth

The candlelight flickered, illuminating their embracing figures, creating a tender and romantic atmosphere, while jazz music flowed softly through the room.

Catwoman rested her head on Li Wei's shoulder, her fingers gently tracing his back with tenderness and affection.

Li Wei held her close, gently stroking her long hair with his hand, feeling her warmth, wanting to freeze this moment forever.

Catwoman looked up into Li Wei's eyes, her gaze filled with love and determination. The candlelight reflected in her eyes, making them look like they were filled with stars.

She slowly approached and kissed Li Wei's lips. This kiss was filled with endless tenderness and lingering affection, as well as deep longing.

Their lips touched, a warm sensation spreading through them. The catwoman's fingertips gripped his clothes tightly, as if trying to grasp something.

Li Wei responded to her, his heart filled with happiness. He knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this woman who dared to love and hate, gentle yet resilient.

Just when the two were about to take their relationship to the next level and let it really heat up, an unexpected incident occurred.

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Li Wei's mind, devoid of any emotion, shattering all the warmth.

Li Wei's body froze instantly, his smile vanished, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, and his pupils contracted sharply.

His arms loosened slightly, his body temperature dropped instantly, and a strong sense of panic welled up inside him.

The cold voice in his mind, like a curse, shattered all the beauty around him, catching him completely off guard.

He looked at the catwoman in his arms, his eyes filled with panic and a hint of despair.

Catwoman sensed his change, looked up in confusion, and gently stroked his cheek, her fingertips touching his cool skin.

"Li Wei, what's wrong?" Her voice was filled with doubt and a hint of unease, her gaze fixed on his eyes.

Li Wei opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His throat felt blocked, sore and painful.

The countdown in his mind continued, the cold numbers pounding against his heart.

[50 seconds... 40 seconds...]

The cold voice was like a death knell, shattering all the warmth and happiness, and Li Wei's body trembled slightly.

He looked at the catwoman in front of him, at the doubt and worry in her eyes, and felt as if his heart was being torn apart, a bitter ache he could not bear.

He wanted to explain, to tell her everything that was about to happen, to tell her how reluctant he was to part with her, but his throat felt like it was blocked.

A thousand words were stuck in my throat, unable to be uttered, and I could only watch helplessly as the countdown slowly dwindled.

[30 seconds... 20 seconds...]

Catwoman sensed something was wrong and gripped Levi's arm tightly with both hands, her fingertips digging into his skin with urgency.

"Li Wei, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Her voice trembled, her eyes were filled with fear and glistening tears.

She could sense Li Wei's panic and the coldness of his body; this unease instantly spread throughout her body.

Li Wei looked at her, his eyes filled with reluctance and pain, his eyes reddening and tears welling up.

He slowly raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his fingertips brushing against her slightly cool skin, his movements gentle and filled with endless affection.

He wanted to etch her image deep in his heart and soul, so that he would never forget it, no matter where he went.

Catwoman's tears finally fell, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the back of Li Wei's hand. The cool touch stung his heart.

[10 seconds... 5 seconds...]

Serena, I love you.

Li Wei finally regained his voice, which was hoarse and choked with sobs. Tears finally fell and slid down his cheeks.

"No matter where I am, I will always remember you and love you forever."

His thumb gently wiped away her tears, a tender gesture that carried endless despair and deep reluctance.

This was his final confession, the only thing he could say, containing all his love and longing.

Catwoman was stunned. Looking at the resolute yet reluctant look in his eyes, a strong sense of unease welled up inside her, an unease that instantly overwhelmed her.

Her tears flowed more and more as she tightly hugged Li Wei's neck, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and cried loudly.

"Li Wei, where are you going? Don't leave me!" Her voice was filled with despair and deep dependence as she clung to him tightly, refusing to let go.

She could feel Li Wei's body gradually becoming cold and unreal.

[3 seconds...2 seconds...1 second...]

Li Wei hugged her tightly, feeling her body temperature and breath, feeling her tears, his heart filled with longing and pain.

His hands gripped her clothes tightly, as if trying to hold onto this last bit of beauty, but he was powerless to do so.

"I'm sorry, Serena, I have to leave."

His voice was as soft as a breeze, carrying endless apology and deep reluctance, before dissipating into the air.

[Instance complete. Player Li Wei has been forcibly logged out.]

As the cold voice fell, Li Wei's body began to turn transparent, gradually dissipating, starting from his fingertips and spreading throughout his entire body.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on his translucent body, revealing the candlelight behind him—gentle yet blinding.

His hand was still on the catwoman's cheek, but it gradually became ethereal and could no longer feel any warmth.

Catwoman felt the person in her arms gradually disappear. Her eyes widened in horror, tears blurring her vision. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Li Wei! No!" she screamed, clutching him tightly with both hands, trying to hold him back, but she only grasped at air.

Her fingers ran through his transparent body, finding no warmth, only icy air and endless despair.

Li Wei looked at her, his eyes filled with tears and reluctance. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, but he could no longer utter a word.

His body became increasingly transparent until it completely dissipated into the air, leaving no trace, leaving only the catwoman alone, embracing the air.

Catwoman hugged her empty arms and wept bitterly, her cries echoing through the quiet apartment, filled with despair and pain.

Inside the apartment, the candles still burned, their gentle light illuminating the empty sofa, but unable to reach the Catwoman's heart.

The couple's bracelets on their wrists still emit a faint glow, pressed against their skin, but they will never see their owners again.

The jazz music was still flowing gently, but it had become the saddest melody, lingering in the empty apartment and refusing to leave.

The night in Gotham was still gentle, the city lights were still dazzling, and the lively atmosphere permeated every corner.

But for Catwoman, her world once again plunged into boundless darkness, colder than ever before.

As Li Wei's consciousness faded, the last thing that flashed through his mind was Catwoman's smile and every warm moment from those seven days.

Those beautiful moments, like starlight, are etched into his soul, and he will never forget them, no matter where he goes.

With a soft "hiss," the game pod door opened directly.

A plume of steam rose as Li Wei stood up from the gaming pod.

Looking at the familiar room and listening to the square dancing music coming from outside the window, Li Wei felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Li Wei was stunned as he looked out the window at a group of slender young women dancing in the square.

The scene looked familiar yet strangely jarring, but the sense of peace that permeated people's hearts was the same as his feelings back in his hometown.

It provides the same sense of security and allows you to truly relax.

During this time in the instance, especially in Gotham, a place fraught with danger and teeming with talent, the sense of security is an absolute luxury.

Li Wei got up and stretched, listening to the popping sounds all over his body like popping beans. He knew it was because he hadn't exercised in a long time.

"It feels... kind of good."

After clenching his fist and feeling it, Li Wei's eyes lit up.

He had just checked the time; he had spent a full month and a half in the Batman instance.

But after coming out of the game pod, he did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, he felt that his physical condition was better than ever before.

"Just as I guessed, if you successfully complete the game, the attributes from the game really can be transferred to reality!"

Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and even the sadness he had felt from parting with Serena was somewhat lessened.

In this Batman movie, if we're talking about winners, Levi is definitely the biggest winner.

Before the final battle, Li Wei's reputation points exceeded two thousand.

Although many people don't know that he risked his life to protect Gotham, those who do know the inside story are all high-ranking figures in Gotham.

It was precisely because of this that high-quality reviews made up for the lack of quantity, and Li Wei thus gained a great deal of prestige.

"Open the properties panel!"

Li Wei was eager to open the attribute panel and check his attributes.

Li Wei smiled as soon as the thought crossed his mind.

After all, he's already out of the game pod, so how could he possibly access the game panel?

He patted his head in frustration, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

However, just as he was about to step out of the game pod, he suddenly froze in place.

The game panel appeared right in front of him, so bright and clear that Li Wei even rubbed his eyes.

After confirming it several times, he finally accepted the reality that he could bring up the game panel even without the help of any equipment.

After a short while, Li Wei quickly accepted this situation.

After all, he had already experienced things much stranger than this, so he didn't care about this small change.

In Li Wei's mind, there was nothing more bizarre than waking up to find himself in another world, and with the memories of another person.

"Sigh, life!"

Li Wei let out a long sigh of relief. "Since we can't change it, let's just enjoy it!"

After shouting his last words with great satisfaction, Li Wei rushed into the bathroom.

After taking a nice hot shower, Li Wei opened the panel again and began to carefully check his attributes.

Li Wei

[Reputation]: 3022

【Strength】: 8

[Agility]: 5

[Intelligence]: 6

[Physical Constitution]: 3

[Free attribute points]: 8

【Damage Immunity (Level 1)】: Active skill. Grants immunity to all incoming damage for 3 seconds after use. Cooldown: 24 hours.

【Hearing Enhancement (Level 1)】: Passive skill, slightly improves the player's hearing. With this skill, you no longer have to worry about someone whispering behind your back.

【Waist and Abdomen Strengthening (Level 1)】: Passive skill, slightly increases the player's waist and abdominal strength. Dude, with this skill, you'll be an invincible little whirlwind from now on!

Looking at his reputation points of over 3000, it would be a lie to say Li Wei wasn't excited.

He estimated that if there were a ranking system or something similar now, his reputation value would definitely be in the top three, if not number one.

The key point is that after leaving the world of Batman, Li Wei felt that all of his physical attributes had been greatly improved.

This also means that if players gain reputation and improve their attributes in the game, they will reap unexpected rewards as long as they can wait patiently for the dungeon to end.

To verify his guess, Li Wei did 200 sit-ups in one go.

His hypothesis proved correct; after completing 200 sit-ups, Li Wei didn't even break a sweat, proving that his core strengthening exercises were indeed very effective.

Now that he understood the purpose of attribute points, Li Wei felt that he couldn't just use up his 8 free attribute points carelessly.

After all, it's completely unknown which dungeon he'll be entering next, so he definitely needs to use his attribute points where they're most needed.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei decided to save his attribute points and decide which attributes to allocate them to based on his needs when he entered the dungeon next time.

Having figured this out, Li Wei stopped worrying and instead logged into the largest gaming forum.

As the most advanced and popular game on Earth, Second World naturally has an indispensable game forum.

Now that the Batman instance has been revealed, Li Wei naturally wants to see if anyone else has made the same discovery as him.

Li Wei was startled by a pinned post as soon as he opened the forum.

First look at the dungeon! Major discovery, come quick!

Upon seeing the title, Li Wei clicked on it without hesitation.

After skimming through the entire post, Li Wei could only shake his head in disappointment. It was impossible for him to encounter all the good things in life.

The content of this post is simple: it's about a player who, like Li Wei, entered the Batman instance.

This player's identity in Gotham is very simple: he's just a beggar construction worker.

He had no ideas or ambition, so he just kept carrying bricks on construction sites.

They continued this daily grind until the day Li Weiliang shut down the instance.

This player can be considered a casual player, without any specific goals.

He just wanted to find something to do in this game to make himself feel less empty, but things never go according to plan.

Just as he was working hard, a riot broke out in Gotham, and many vicious people escaped.

Their neighborhood had no police presence and within half an hour of the riots starting, it had become a living hell.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he took action.

Because of his regular training, his reaction speed is significantly faster than others.

He dealt with the trouble quickly, one punch at a time.

After resolving the problem, he naturally gained everyone's support.

He then discovered from his own panel that he had gained reputation, and as he continued to do good deeds, his reputation in the neighborhood grew.

He vowed that he would eventually open this instance, so apart from necessities, he used all his remaining income to help others.
