Chapter 134: As it turns out, he was someone else's boss

Lin Yifan couldn't figure it out, but he said this place really is an instance, so how did Mao Mao get in?

Or maybe their area, for the elves, is actually the instance?

Forget it, no matter whether it's an instance or not.

Anyway, for him, whether it's an instance or not isn't important; his goal, besides avenging Mao Mao, is to obtain more Qingling Fruit.

Now Mao Mao's revenge has been taken care of, and the Qingling Fruit Tree is right before his eyes.

That is, these elves have become an unexpected surprise for him.

If they aren't natives of this area, but came here to clear instances, then dying in the instance wouldn't cause any further trouble.

That would also be a good thing.

However, having finally gotten a chance to learn about other races,

Lin Yifan still wants to take this opportunity to find out more, so he asks Fan Xi Er:

"Where does your people come from? Are you also from another planet, coming to this world to survive?"

Fan Xi Er hearing this, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, saying with a blank face:

"We don't know that; I was born in the Dark Night Forest, and we are not survivors either, so I don't understand what you're saying."

"But I have indeed heard people mention survivors, especially you humans, many of whom become strong from the Survivor Realm."

"But as for which planet you humans come from, we don't know; anyway, we don't recognize the planets you mention, and your appearance in this world indicates that your home planet has already been destroyed."

Lin Yifan hearing this, had even more questions pop up in his mind.

Earlier in the instance, he actually had many questions he wanted to ask Ai Luositing, but Ai Luositing disappeared too quickly, giving him no chance.

And the so-called elf before him appears to be a native of this world.

Of course, it's also possible that their ancestors were survivors, but later they gradually assimilated into this world and became its natives.

But these don't matter; what matters is, how many disasters does this world actually have?

So he lowered his head and asked from above:

"Answer me one more question: how many natural disasters does this world actually have?"

"The whole world is natural disaster." Fan Xi Er at this moment became unusually serious, saying bitterly:

"You know why our tribe only has ten thousand people? Because this world's natural disasters are just too many."

"According to our tribe's records, basically every seven days a new natural disaster occurs, possibly a flood, possibly a fire, more likely the Dark Night Aurora."

"Anyway, natural disasters never end, with no pattern at all; anyone can die in a natural disaster; only by constantly evolving can one become strong and survive one disaster after another."

"Only when a race produces a deity can that race no longer face endless natural disasters and can properly reproduce in this world."

"Deity?" Lin Yifan frowned, "I've heard of deities, and I also know that humans are the easiest to become deities."

"Then by that logic, with so many deities among humans, we humans shouldn't have to face natural disasters anymore, so why do we still have to face them?"

"You humans indeed have many deities, but they are not your deities!" Fan Xi Er shrugged his shoulders, saying calmly:

"According to what I know, every ten years a new batch of survivors appears in this world, these survivors come from various worlds."

"You humans are the most numerous among the survivors appearing in this world; basically every five batches, a batch of humans appears, but although you are all humans, you are not the same race."

"Only those humans who come from the same world and give birth to a deity can truly continue to reproduce in this world."

"This!" Lin Yifan was stunned!

He really hadn't expected that this thing actually comes in batches!

Looking at it this way, this batch of survivors from Earth will ultimately have to rely on themselves.

However, given the current situation, wanting to remain single humans is still far off—who knows when it'll be the year of the monkey and horse?

By that time, their several billion people will probably have left very few.

At this moment, Fan Xi Er also patted his forehead and said:

"Oh, right, although your combat strength is strong, according to our knowledge, the next batch of survivors should have just arrived not long ago, so you should be the standout among this batch of survivors."

"I don't know that, but I have indeed not been in this world for long." Lin Yifan said calmly.

Fan Xi Er really looked vexed, "I'm really unlucky; I chose a low-level instance to stay safe, thinking I could easily get the clearance reward and also pick up some good stuff inside the instance."

"I never expected to run into a dead pervert like you; looks like I'm just really unlucky!"

Having said that, he raised his head and begged Lin Yifan:

"Respected human, can you spare me? I was just deceiving you earlier; we who come to clear instances, dying inside the instance is a common occurrence, and our clansmen won't come seeking revenge."

"Moreover, even if we wanted to seek revenge, it's impossible; the areas where you newbie survivors are located are divided into countless instances, the number of instances is countless, we simply cannot enter the same instance."

"So, letting me go will cause no trouble; of course I also know that our coming to your area to clear instances is actually stealing your resources, now that it's fallen into your hands, we cannot avoid paying a price."

"I'm willing to use five spirit crystals to buy my own life; please give me a chance?"

At this point, Lin Yifan finally understood why Fan Xi Er said this place is an instance?!

It turns out he didn't enter an instance; rather, the area he's in is, for these natives, an instance.

And as a survivor, relative to Fan Xi Er this kind of native, he is actually a small monster or boss inside the instance.

This realization really made Lin Yifan feel speechless and absurd!

He goes to others and treats them as bosses to clear, others come to him and treat him as a boss to clear.

He goes to others to seize support and strengthen himself; others come to him to seize resources and strengthen themselves.

There really is give and take!

But this also saves him some worry, at least he doesn't have to worry about the elves coming to seek him.

As for whether to agree to Fan Xi Er's request to buy his life, Lin Yifan still needs to think about it.

After all, killing and arson earn a gold belt!

He now completely controls Fan Xi Er's life; if he could gain more benefits, why would he buy a life?

Better to take everything!
