Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"Following the network cable..."

Chen Xi was wide awake at that moment.

The events that happened today were more complicated and bizarre than anything else in the previous 18 years of his life combined!

Similarly, it was more dangerous than all the accidents that had happened in the past 18 years combined!

"Yes, exactly what it says."

"If you don't reply to my messages, I really won't be able to get here via the internet."

Chen Xi never expected that he would end up building a temporary bridge for the other party.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Xitong. My WeChat name is my real name."

"Or you can call me by another name."

"The Emperor!"

"The Emperor..."

"The emperor of the first rank..."

"That's right."

"How can you prove it?"

Chen Xi remained composed despite the other party's words, maintaining her own pace.

Lu Xitong smiled and said nothing more. Just like Zhang Wanyi had done before, she opened her palm and an identity card appeared in her hand.

The first thing that catches the eye is the pattern around the identity card.

Zhang Wanyi's identity card, along with Chen Xi's own, both had gold patterns.

But the patterns on Lu Xitong's identity card were sparkling, like diamonds.

Diamond pattern!

Putting aside the commercial value of gold and diamonds, from a visual perspective, diamonds are clearly more luxurious than gold, which can also be interpreted as representing a higher social status.

That's right. Chen Xi remembered Zhang Wanyi saying that the Emperor was the only one in the superhuman camp who had surpassed the superhuman stage.

After transcending the ordinary comes sainthood, so the emperor is a being in the sainthood stage?

As soon as Chen Xi thought this, the identity card fully appeared within a few seconds.

However, the identity and rank mentioned above surprised Chen Xi.

The stage on the card is I, and the identity is Emperor.

Has the other party's status never been upgraded?

That's impossible. No matter how powerful the emperor's identity is, it's impossible for him to surpass all other extraordinary beings simply because he only has the strength of the Extraordinary Stage I.

"You don't need to question my abilities."

As if reading Chen Xi's mind, Lu Xitong suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with extreme confidence:

"Every upgrade in status is like a snake shedding its skin. The previous status does not disappear, but remains there like a historical achievement."

"You'll understand this once you reach the Transcendent II stage."

"You cannot know my true strength right now."

"As for why the pattern on my ID card is different from yours, it's the same reason. You'll understand once you surpass the Extraordinary III stage."

Beyond the Extraordinary III stage?

It seems that the limit of the extraordinary stage is stage III, after which the sainthood stage will probably follow.

Chen Xi didn't ask any further questions. He knew these things were inevitable and he would find out sooner or later anyway. More than that, he was concerned about the Emperor's intentions.

"So what brings you here via the internet today... just to say hello?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Xi raised his question.

"The mattress is pretty good; it's supportive yet has a certain degree of softness."

Instead of answering Chen Xi's question directly, Lu Xitong lowered her head and pressed down on the mattress, looking quite approving.

After saying that, he immediately looked up and smiled.

"Indeed, I just wanted to say hello to you today."

"However, there is a small question that needs to be confirmed."

"doubt?"

Yes, I have a question.

"I want to know if you really are in the second sequence? If so, how did you awaken?"

Ok?

She didn't know?

Chen Xi was somewhat surprised by this question.

According to his plan, Li Jibin had invited him to the group, so he should have explained the matter of awakening to the person above him, namely the group owner, the Watcher.

Although the emperor has set a rule that all information about the order of hegemons must be kept secret, does that mean that she herself must also abide by this secrecy?

Do the creators of the rules also abide by them?

Otherwise, Chen Xi couldn't think of any reason why the other party had asked him.

This has a flavor of the idea that even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners.

At the same time, this discipline also made Chen Xi feel a little favorably toward this emperor for the first time.

He then told the Emperor about the mysterious tennis ball, naturally showing his identity card in the process.

Currently, only Zhang Wanyi and Li Jibin know about this.

According to the subsequent plan, Zhang Heng, a professional player from the ninth rank, will also learn about this mysterious tennis ball.

Chen Xi had no intention of hiding it. His idea was to find out what it was, rather than keeping it like an unknown bomb, always carrying it around in his pocket.

Hiding things like this is not a solution; you might never find the answer by figuring it out on your own.

Is it a containment object?

It's still one of the top 10 prohibited items.

Or perhaps an even more unexpected answer?

Psychologically, Chen Xi was fully prepared.

The Emperor's appearance is just right. If even the Emperor can't give him an answer, it means that no one in the superhuman camp can.

While not absolutely true, it is highly probable.

As for more extreme answers, such as whether the emperor would intervene to seize it, Chen Xi would accept it even if it happened.

After all, actively seeking the answers to certain things inherently carries risks.

"This is......"

The emperor stared at the spot Chen Xi was pointing to, and for the first time fell silent.

"It seems I can't see it either, just like them. There's no tennis ball on the desk you're pointing to in my eyes."

"But I can tell you that among the containment objects I know, whether they are ordinary or the top 10 forbidden objects, there are indeed invisibility types, but there is no type that can only be seen by a specific person."

"Your situation certainly fits the description of 'exclusive'."

"Either it's a new forbidden object, after all, it awakened your second-order farmer identity, it can't just be an ordinary containment object."

"Or... it's not a containment object or anything like that."

Not a containment object?

What else could it be?

Chen Xi didn't pursue that question further, but instead brought up a hypothesis that Li Jibin had mentioned earlier:

"Do you think it's possible that my mysterious tennis ball is a key component of the original seed?"

"That's why I was able to awaken the second sequence."

The emperor shook his head, crossed his legs, and leaned back slightly, supporting himself on the mattress with both hands, like an elegant kitten.

"Farmer, I have achieved my goal today, which was to verify your authenticity."

"Because of some of my experiences, this answer is important."

"experience?"

"Yes."

The emperor nodded, his composure fading, and said somewhat seriously:

"At that time, I was swallowed by the Black Tower as an ordinary person. When I was desperate, I obtained the Heaven-Slaying Stone Crown in Paradise Lost and completed my awakening to become the emperor."

"I remember that something that looked like a tree seed was pierced through. Later I learned that it was the forbidden object number 5, the Primal Seed."

"So... there shouldn't be any second-order superhumans in this world!"
