Weird, my gaming life

The three walked through the silent steel jungle.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Qin Wan followed closely behind Lin Yuan, her gaze fixed on his not-so-broad back.

They originally thought that after they mastered the rules of the Rebirth Demon, Lin Yuan would be the one to enjoy the good fortune with them. Having a mother with such extraordinary abilities, they should feel lucky.

But now, she realized that she was the one being protected. This role reversal made her feel strange and powerless, and she also realized a fact that she didn't want to admit: Lin Yuan didn't really need her.

Lu Feng followed at the back, his legs trembling with every step. The more he knew, the more terrified he became. He felt as if he were dancing on the edge of a knife, and if he made a single wrong step and touched the rules of the strange realm, he would die instantly.

Fear gripped his throat like an invisible hand. Looking at Lin Yuan's back, this boy, whom he had despised as a sewer rat not long ago, had now become their only way out. This huge contrast made him feel both absurd and ashamed.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the street ahead suddenly opened up into a wide central square. In the center of the square stood a huge statue, surrounded by a ring of fountains that had been extinguished.

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped, slowly raising his hand to signal the two people behind him to stop.

Qin Wan followed Lin Yuan's gaze, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Within his sight, there were five transparent figures wandering aimlessly in the square, a number that was beyond what he could possibly manage to avoid.

Forcing your way through would be tantamount to suicide.

Qin Wan subconsciously clenched her fists, already planning in her mind how to choose her path after her next rebirth. She had to show some use for herself and not let her adopted son look down on her.

However, Lin Yuan had no intention of backing down at this moment.

His gaze swept across the entire square. Unlike Qin Wan, who could only get a general view, his powerful eyesight gave him a sense of being able to see the whole scene, as if he had a god's-eye view. Soon, Lin Yuan locked his gaze on a row of neatly parked hover motorcycles at the edge of the square.

For aesthetic purposes at night, those motorcycles were equipped with touch-sensitive neon light strips, and a plan quickly took shape in his mind.

He turned around, meeting Qin Wan's surprised gaze, and silently mouthed two words, "Wait for me!"

He then pointed to the motorcycle, then to the other end of the square, made a throwing motion, and finally pointed to the transparent figures, making a gesture of all of them.

Qin Wan was taken aback at first, then realized that Lin Yuan wanted to create a large enough sound source to attract all the transparent figures, and then take the opportunity to hunt them down.

This plan is bold and crazy.

"You..." Qin Wan was about to speak, but she stopped herself abruptly. She looked at Lin Yuan's eyes, which were gradually becoming more and more intense, and her heart skipped a beat. What kind of look was that? She had never seen such a look in her eyes when she was with Lin Yuan.

This child was always uninterested in many things. The only time his eyes would change was after training when he lay quietly, showing a strong longing for something.

In the end, Qin Wan simply nodded slowly.

Lin Yuan no longer hesitated. He lowered his body slightly, pried up a few pebbles from the flower bed by the roadside, took a deep breath, his arm muscles tensed instantly, and his wrist suddenly twitched.

An invisible gas adhered to a pebble.

"Whoosh—"

The pebble made no sound as it flew through the air, but it carried a tremendous force, traveling nearly a hundred meters before accurately striking the hover motorcycle at the farthest point.

"Ding!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

The immense force struck the motorcycle directly, and then, like dominoes, one motorcycle crashed into another, instantly igniting urgent alarms throughout the square.

"Waaaaah—waaaah—waaaah"

The five transparent figures on the square paused simultaneously the moment the alarm sounded, then suddenly turned towards the source of the sound, transforming into five indistinguishable phantoms that sped toward the numerous fallen motorcycles.

A series of precise maneuvers made Qin Wan's heart leap into her throat, while Lu Feng's legs trembled violently.

It's now!

Lin Yuan seized the opportunity and moved at the same time.

With his feet lightly tapping the ground alternately, mixed with invisible internal force, Lin Yuan charged out like a cheetah, without making a sound.

Lin Yuan moved like a ghost, rapidly traversing the edge of the plaza.

Five transparent figures pounced on the group of motorcycles that had sounded the alarm almost simultaneously. Due to the chaotic sound, their figures became somewhat scattered.

However, the closer Lin Yuan got, the more carefully he observed.

The first thing to disappear when these strange things approached the source of the sound was the noise itself. Then, the row of motorcycles, along with the air around them, vanished as if wiped away by an invisible eraser.

However, after consuming everything, the five transparent figures did not disappear. Instead, they paused slightly in place, as if they were somewhat satisfied.

Upon observing this situation, Lin Yuan's pupils immediately contracted. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he had already circled behind one of the figures, his body arched like a bow, his two fingers joined together, and his inner Crimson Sun True Qi condensed without reservation at his fingertips.

"puff!"

A very faint sound rang out as Lin Yuan's finger precisely tapped the strange point on the back of the transparent figure's head.

The transparent figure trembled violently. Before it could turn around, its entire body was punctured like a bubble and silently dissipated on the spot.

"Source Point +2"

Before Lin Yuan could even savor the joy of his harvest, he exerted force with his feet again, his figure shifting rapidly to the side. Just as the other transparent figure was about to turn around, he struck it on the back of the head once more.

"puff!"

Another figure disintegrated.

"Source Point +2"

The remaining three figures had also snapped out of their complacency and, upon noticing the slight sound, were about to turn around.

However, Lin Yuan did not give them a chance.

Using the same trick again, Lin Yuan instantly flicked all the pebbles he had just picked up, sending them flying in different directions.

Several collision sounds rang out again, and the three transparent figures were instantly split apart, each rushing towards the nearest source of the sound.

Lin Yuan's figure transformed into three afterimages the instant they pounced, arriving first despite being behind.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Three soft sounds rang out in quick succession, almost as one.

Lin Yuan only stopped slowly when the last figure dissipated into the air.

Qin Wan and Lu Feng, standing in the distance, were completely stunned.

If the first time was shocking, then this time it's completely subverted.

Lu Feng's mouth dropped open. He stared at Lin Yuan's figure, and couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly realized how foolish he had been to provoke Lin Yuan. Wasn't it better to be alive? Thinking of his provocations, Lu Feng couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times.

Qin Wan's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration. The adopted son she had taken in on a whim had given her so much that day. She had come to a realization that instead of being anxious and uncertain here, she should treat Lin Yuan with sincerity.

Perhaps in this way, the Qin family might actually be able to revive under this adopted son, and returning to the Upper City District would no longer be just a fantasy.

Lin Yuan calmed his breathing, sensing the information from the ten source points in his mind, and finally couldn't help but grin.

As expected, fortune favors the bold. Suppressing his burning desire, Lin Yuan waved to Qin Wan and then quickly led her and the other person away from the place.

The further you walk, the more bizarre the scene becomes. Not only have vehicles and license plates disappeared, but some buildings have even shown signs of being erased, leaving irregular holes, as if the entire city is being slowly devoured.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, Lin Yuan destroyed several more transparent figures, bringing his total Source Point gain to twenty. Although it wasn't as much as the Koi Monster he killed the first time, Lin Yuan thought the Koi Monster was a complete monster.

These transparent figures were probably only part of this eerie realm. At the same time, a magnificent building appeared in their field of vision, which was the refuge center for the entire central district.

It was a huge building shaped like a semi-circular eggshell, covered with a soft white light shield, protecting everything in its vicinity.

When Qin Wan and Lu Feng saw the huge building, their eyes lit up with excitement. However, Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks because his sixth sense gave him a strong warning once again.
