Chapter 594: Player Exchange

So, we chose a gamble.

One takes everything he gained in the game and then withdraws; the other takes on all the risks in the game and fulfills the promise.

Although someone has made too many preparations for all this, letting a person come back to life is never that easy.

"Yang Yixie" will bear all the risks, gambling on an unknown future; Yang Yixie will then take the spoils and leave here, safeguarding his original world.

Fang Zhiyan alone miscalculated; behind the Ying Duo he faces are two Yang Yixies, completely different yet completely alike.

Even if Mu Linyuan uses his energy to help them resist the world's rejection, there isn't enough time.

What's it like to face oneself? Probably just not needing to say much, because being so familiar, you can guess what the other wants to do.

"Don't lose."

Yang Yixie looks at himself before him; his game segment is over, and after that he needs someone to bear the erosion of consciousness, then while collecting fragments to strengthen himself, he also severs the link between the two worlds.

This is the sole condition for their cooperation.

"...... You think there's any game I haven't cleared?"

He also shows no weakness; even as that force's strong invasion hits, his figure is already swaying, on the verge of collapsing.

"You look like you're about to lose right now."

Yang Yixie says this while, because he hasn't fully left yet, that erosion is helping him share the burden, so this freshly obtained 'GM' privilege can also be used by him.

Accordingly, he sent a message to Xirensheng.

Time can no longer hinder Yang Yixie's progress of being rejected by the world; he finally just glanced at the scene, unable to hold back laughter.

No matter how many times you look, this perspective, like playing 'Minecraft', is still hard to immerse oneself in.

【System Prompt: Captain "Ying Duo" has gone offline! Party Status automatically dissolved!】

As soon as the message popped up, Qi Junyi, who was splashing holy water on Chi Jin An, got a slash; he could only then give himself a bottle of holy water and sprinkle some on the wound.

【System Prompt: You have an email, please handle it promptly!】

Although Ying Duo's Party Status has already been disbanded, for some reason, Xirensheng's Ying Guang Lu pop-up window hasn't completely disappeared because of that.

He immediately opened the email sent by Ying Duo, and to everyone's surprise, several poker cards popped up inside.

One big joker, one small joker.

Xirensheng stared for a few seconds, then the next moment saw the two poker cards collide in the middle, merging into a bomb pattern.

He blinked, and his brainwaves instantly synced with Yang Yixie.

"Woc! This place is about to collapse, run!!!"

————————————————

High above the heavens, even in Tianmian City floating above the clouds, the cathedral of the pallid throne where the pope resides remains at the highest point of Floating City.

But......

The sight before one's eyes is truly too unfamiliar.

Mu Lingxiao raised her right hand; her right hand had completely turned into a long strip, a few simple blocks now being her image—not just her, but the world everyone saw turned into this absurd pattern.

And this, naturally, also stirred up countless panic.

Everyone saw that Ying Guang Lu pop-up window, which forcefully invaded everyone's field of view, uttering that game declaration.

"He called them all NPCs."

"The term "game" has been mentioned too many times recently; the blame immediately pointed at that group of "Undead," so that within just a few minutes, countless people had come asking for instructions."

"Just at this moment, Mu Linyuan, however, didn't know where he had run off to."

"But what exactly happened over at the Eternal Silent Abyss, capable of producing such a wide-ranging influence......"

"Holy Maiden......"

"Let the plan stay as is; wait for the exploration team to return before assessing the situation."

She had a slight headache, and with her blocky hand she rubbed her likewise blocky head.

"No, it's the head of the Chen Family, Chen Xiaoshuang, paying a visit......"

"...... Let her in."

——————————————

"This is truly unprecedented......"

Han Huan sat at the side; even though the Dome's jurisdiction had fallen into large‑area chaos because of Ying Duo's words, he merely remained seated in his place, holding a coffee cup turned into a mosaic.

Perhaps because this strange ability affected too many people, the panic over these unknowns even forcibly overshadowed the Dome's current riot.

But the color of this energy......

"Looks like we should congratulate our dear Mutation Department head; the experiment went smoothly?"

"Although just recently he announced to everyone the expulsion of Fang Zhiyan, at this moment Han Huan's way of addressing Fang Zhiyan has become affectionate again."

"No one knows what the situation is over at the Eternal Silent Abyss, but everyone knows Fang Zhiyan is crazy; if he really became......"

"But looking now, it seems the little guy beside him is even crazier."

"Sitting beside him, Xing Ke merely shrank his body, quietly took out an instrument to test the cause of the abnormal vision appearing before his eyes."

"...... This world really seems to be about to end!!!"

"The more they checked, the more alarmed they became; unlike the nervous Xing Ke, over there Xie Jingnian remained unusually calm, merely clenching his fists tightly in secret, showing his worry for someone."

——————————————

Yang Yichen lay powerless on the workbench, feeling as if his whole self were about to be drained.

After this return, his younger brother will never again dare to mock him for having old‑person hand speed; feeling that although he hasn't been at the Foreign Ministry long, his hand speed has been forcibly honed.

So, is his younger brother in this world perhaps a bit too crazy?!

"Who knows, seeing Ying Duo appear on the communicator, and Xirensheng singing in tandem, mercilessly splashing all the dirty water onto the Dome, made the whole person feel awful."

Yang Yichen didn't hold back, rubbed their arms, and looked out the window.

The sky outside remained a deep blue, but the clouds floating above had turned into perfectly square pixel blocks.

Yang Yichen suddenly recalled that they had been forcibly dragged into this world by some unscrupulous game.

Although it's called a game, in fact there was no system at all, no character panel, no quests; they were simply tossed into another world.

And that Ying Guang Lu popup might be the so‑called game's first dialogue with them?

But immediately, they sensed something was wrong.

That popup is not only visible to the Undead who are players, but also to all the native inhabitants of this world.

It seems everything has already become different.

Along the distant horizon, it looked like a tiny gray dot, while its true form—a massive mushroom cloud—rose at that moment.

The players of this world have already changed.
