~7 min read 1,223 words

Besides being called by Lin Jiu, Lu Ming spent part of the time in space.

On the third night, the new instance opened.

【Rest period ended】

【World instance opened!】

【Detected current identity: player】

【Not participate in instance?】

【/No】

Lu Ming chose, and the cold system voice sounded again.

"Confirming player identity..."

"ID: 96968"

"Player: Lu Ming"

"Five minutes left until the instance opens!"

"In five minutes, the player's \"world channel\", \"private chat\", and \"space\" functions will be closed!"

With five minutes of free time left, the world channel exploded.

【Old man, hug the leg, hug the leg!】

, I've long seen helping old players have fun; men just start off fighting! Look at the ID!

【Players brought by this guild, please remember the password, state the reason en route, this guild takes responsibility!】

【C Country unites; upon encountering compatriots, help each other.】

………………………………

The friend list twitched; Lu Ming opened it to see, it was a message from Lin Jiu.

【Lin Jiu: Upon entering the instance, be sure to keep anything close to you; you'll find it soon!】

Lu Ming understood, with so many participants, how to ensure entering the same instance?

Before he could ask, five minutes passed and it ended.

【World instance opened!】

【Instance: The Island's It】

【Plot introduction:

【For a very long time, the island has had a kind of monster.】

【It appears not at night; it will emit a sharp scream and drink blood.】

【The town's believers say, because a demon has appeared!】

【Devoutly praying to the island's god for forgiveness, burn the demon to death!】

【Detected player's instance rating: S】

【Instance difficulty will greatly increase!】

"The world officially opens!"

【The name "Ling Chang'an", a student returning home for summer vacation.】

"This summer vacation, returning from elsewhere to the island."

"The island seems the same as before."

"Although born and raised there, at the moment of boarding the ship, the blowing sea wind made it feel unfamiliar."

"Regarding the monster that does not appear at night, the story heard from, and it is believed to be a supernatural existence."

"Perhaps some undiscovered creature, next summer vacation return, the host for the purpose of clarifying this creature, believes taking it as the thesis topic is definitely wrong."

Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes; the glaring sunlight made him turn his head, seawater splashed his face, and his ears were filled with the sound of waves hitting rocks.

Lu Ming sat up and found himself on a beach.

"Game?" he whispered.

His face instantly flashed a light blue panel.

【Current instance: Devil Named God】

【Remaining time: 14】

The instance is correct.

Lu Ming was brushing off sand from his body when he suddenly discovered his clothing had changed into a white shirt.

"Brother Ling Chang'an!"

Lu Ming heard a shout, turned his head and saw a girl running toward him.

What did you just call?

The girl pulled the dazed Lu Ming up, her face full of worry: "Doctor Lin said, the illness hasn't gotten better, able door?"

Utterly bewildering……

Lu Ming had some aversion to the stranger, his consciousness broke free from the girl's hand, as a result his foot slipped and he plopped down on the beach.

"Don't move around." The girl hurriedly bent over, wanting to pull Lu Ming up again.

In his peripheral vision, Lu Ming caught the rippling seawater beside him, but its reflection showed an unfamiliar face.

He reacted quickly.

After entering the game, his identity and appearance were changed; now he is playing a student who has returned from elsewhere.

"Where does it feel comfortable?" The girl brushed sand off Lu Ming's body while saying, "Doctor Lin said, this kind of flu will cause recurring fevers!"

【Hint: Yang Xin is very worried, better say a couple of sentences.】

Lu Ming tried to speak: "Yang... Yang Xin?"

The girl's hand patting the sand paused, she lifted her face with delight: "Chang'an brother?"

【Character favorability: 90-3】

Lu Ming didn't know what happened, the character's favorability inexplicably dropped; could it be that he stepped on a mine?

"Another fever?" Yang Xin's eyes filled with worry, she brushed aside Lu Ming's bangs and pressed her own forehead against his.

Lu Ming almost couldn't hold back from pushing her away.

Feeling the girl's forehead temperature, some memories surfaced in his mind.

Ling Chang'an, whose parents died early, was later taken in by Yang Xin's family; he is the childhood sweetheart of Yang Xin's original owner, now a high school student on the island.

"It's fine." Lu Ming took a step back, his ankle stepping on wet soft sand: "I just lay too long, wanted to walk around."

His identity surely has nothing to do with the main plot; to find clues, Lu Ming had no choice but to temporarily act as Ling Chang'an for a while.

"You should at least say something!" Yang Xin first froze, then puffed up her face, looking angry: "It's very worrying!"

"Sorry, maybe you're used to being out there." Lu Ming said.

"Bad habit..." Yang Xin said: "Hurry home, Dad and Mom are out fishing on the island, tonight's meal will just be the two of us."

Lu Ming nodded and followed behind Yang Xin.

The girl's fair, tender feet bare on the sand, her mood seemed good, she hummed a tune.

The noon sunlight made the sea even more azure.

The waves surged onto the beach, washing away the girl's footprints.

"Mingan brother, can you walk faster?" Lin Xin's urging voice came: "I made sweet and sour fish, if you come back later it'll get cold."

Lu Ming responded with a sound, quickened his pace and followed.

Still taking finding clues as the main purpose, he tried to see if he could trigger the main plot.

As for other players, just go with the flow, don't deliberately seek them for now.

Lu Ming was thinking in his heart.

Yang Xin's family lives near the sea, a two-story standalone building.

Upon returning home, Yang Xin first went into the bathroom, which immediately sounded with splashing water.

The table was set with three dishes: sweet and sour fish, steamed crab stir-fried shrimp.

"Chang'an brother." Yang Xin's voice came from the bathroom: "You must wash your hands before eating."

Lu Ming replied: "Know."

His gaze suddenly stopped at the table edge.

【Hint: Discovered medicine bottle (why would there be a medicine bottle on the dining table?)】

Lu Ming walked over and picked up the medicine bottle.

The bottle was transparent, faintly visible were the pills inside; Lu Ming opened the cap.

【Hint: Recognize this medicine (maybe need to ask someone knowledgeable)】

"Chang'an brother!" Yang Xin suddenly appeared from behind: "Glutton, still saying you didn't sneak a bite!"

Lu Ming turned around and shook the medicine bottle in his hand to prove his innocence.

Yang Xin's eyes flashed a hint of panic, she walked over and took the medicine bottle from Lu Ming's hand: "Dad also got angry, after taking the medicine he just randomly left it around, okay, don't blame me, hurry wash your hands and eat."

Lu Ming glanced at the girl's reaction in his peripheral vision, secretly slipped the pill in his hand into his pocket.

Breakthrough!
