Chapter 609: [Major Event: All-in is a Wisdom]

Just as the outside world was in turmoil because of Li Ang's "news of death," Sophia, Old Wu, and the others were completely unaware of the situation outside.

When fighting Lawson earlier, in order to protect them, Li Ang had taken them into [Heavenly Imperial Control].

Later, because of the [Reload] reason, they had been unable to understand the situation outside, and only Old Wu could obtain some information simply through the Death Star Battleship.

Under the gaze of a group of companions, the somewhat haggard middle-aged man interrupted the connection with the battleship: "That Succubus hasn't left yet; it looks like she will stay in the grand casino for a long time to come."

"And..."

"I don't know if Lawson has discovered anything unusual."

Although he had made many modifications to the Death Star Battleship, he wasn't sure if he could deceive a powerhouse of the same system.

And in the current situation, uncertainty was certainty; no one dared to bet on that one-in-ten-million possibility.

Hearing this, Sophia and Pan Mingrui fell into silence for a time.

Instead, Elise was silently gnawing on the metal block in her hand, looking blankly at the three people in front of her whose expressions were somewhat unpleasant.

Ignoring the little dragon dog who was just tagging along, Sophia simply collected her mood and said: "It seems we still have to wait for Li Ang to come back before talking."

When they first entered [Heavenly Imperial Control], they had also worried about Li Ang's safety.

Especially not long after they entered, this space had appeared with extremely terrifying visions.

The whole world turned black and white, and time seemed to have stagnated.

Fortunately, the vision came and went quickly, and it returned to normal not long after.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, Sophia and the others could roughly guess that something must have gone wrong with Li Ang.

They had also asked the artificial human maids in the space, but the maids only said that Li Ang was fine, but didn't say when he would come to see them.

And then this wait lasted until now.

Hearing Sophia's words, Old Wu and Pan Mingrui looked at each other, then sighed and said: "That's all we can do."

After the series of events before, the two had long been convinced by Li Ang.

Just as the three were feeling a headache because of this, Li Ang suddenly opened his eyes in the dimensional gap.

He subconsciously took a long breath, his expression slightly dazed.

Seeing this, the maids standing by the side didn't make a sound to disturb him, but silently dressed him.

Just like this, after a good while, Li Ang gradually came back to his senses.

Unlike [Wedge], [Reload] wouldn't make him enter a weakened state; the reason he had that performance just now was just because it was his first time using [Reload] and he wasn't quite used to it.

Simply controlling his emotions, Li Ang muttered: "Is this the taste of death? It really isn't pleasant."

He now understood why Christine's attitude had changed 180 degrees back then.

However, for someone like him who possessed the reload ability, he would get used to it after dying a few times.

For details, refer to 486 and Summer Time Rendering.

It was also at this time that the profession panel began to frantically refresh information.

[Challenge the limit, fight with high-level powerhouses, profession experience (Immortal, Star Shepherd, Abyss Composite Great Demon) +185231].

[Heaven and Man as One, profession experience additionally increased +53421].

[Profession level increased: Immortal lv3→4 (112351/400000), Abyss Composite Great Demon lv17→lv20].

[Learned general skill: Eternal Return · Fragment].

[Eternal Return · Fragment: When you have an anchor point, you will automatically resurrect at that anchor point after death.

Note: You can only have one anchor point at a time.

Note: You can reset the anchor point after resurrection.

Note: Please explore the upgrade method of this general skill by yourself.]

[Experienced major event: All-in is a Wisdom].

[All-in!].

[Whether it is you, those gamblers, or the peepers in the dark, all are well-versed in the subtlety of this.]

[Of course, at certain moments, going all-in can indeed reverse the situation.]

[Obviously, the peeper failed, and you succeeded...]

[Probably.]

[You can start a new journey at any time; please choose one of the three routes below:]

[1. Is it mythology that created the gods, or the gods that created mythology?]

[2. Friends and family destroy friends and family, friends cut off friends.]

[3. The Legend of the Galaxy Bat Hero, grandly opens!]

Looking at the information popping up on the profession panel, Li Ang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Being able to obtain such a high amount of experience points at once didn't exceed his expectations; after all, having fought with two sixth-level powerhouses, Rad and Lawson, in succession, it would be hard not to be high.

Instead, the [Reload] ability surprised him a bit; it actually generated a general skill.

'But this name...'

[Eternal Return · Fragment], just the name revealed that it wasn't simple. Originally, Li Ang thought it would be called [Death Return] or simply [Reload], such a simple and easy-to-understand name.

Of course, this was definitely a good thing; after all, having more means was always a good thing.

Unfortunately, according to the description, he couldn't improve the skill level by increasing proficiency; it looked like he would have to make his shadow clones suffer again.

The successive improvements made Li Ang's mood increasingly pleasant; even Lawson and the others didn't seem so annoying... as if!

When he promoted to the sixth level in the future, he must scatter the ashes of this group of people!

Just as Li Ang was secretly cursing his bad luck, he suddenly noticed something wrong.

Holy crap, the original collapsed!

Looking at the latest journey route appearing on the panel, Li Ang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Honkai: Star Rail, this is too famous.

Of course, it's also very dangerous; although it can't compare to the peak of debate like Box Garden, those Aeons are definitely not something he can provoke right now.

Even when he promotes to the sixth level, he won't be able to provoke those Aeons.

However, Li Ang always felt that if he went to this world, he might be targeted by some fun-seeker as soon as he landed, and be given a Pathstrider to play with.

It's also possible that an arrow shot from nowhere would take his life directly.

The good news is that this world has some powers that are very suitable for him, such as [Preservation], [Trailblaze], these Paths.

Unfortunately, these are not powers that can be mastered in a short time, especially after thinking about some settings in the original work, Li Ang inexplicably felt a bit familiar.

Fortunately, after experiencing [Madman's Road], he wouldn't be restricted by time when starting a new journey, and he had enough time to think about which route to choose for the next journey.

Thinking of this, Li Ang let out a light breath and then closed the profession panel.

As for what's next, he prepared to return to [Aeon Logistics] first and report the ins and outs of the mission.

However, just as Li Ang was about to leave [Heavenly Imperial Control], his expression suddenly became a bit strange: "Luonan?"

He found that this [Man in the Mirror] was staying at the place where he had disappeared not long ago, not knowing what he was doing.

After a little thought, Li Ang decided to meet the other party first.

After all, he would only appear in that mirror space the first time he went out, and in the end, he would still have to deal with the other party.

Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, if this [Man in the Mirror] had any bad intentions, then it would be Lawson's group appearing here.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Ang's eyes flickered slightly, and then he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When he appeared again, he was already in front of Sophia and the others.

At the same time, a mirror floated out from the pitch-black rift on the side.

Luonan looked at Li Ang, who was intact in front of the mirror, and couldn't help but scratch his head: "I didn't expect you kid to really not be dead; I knew it wasn't an illusion."

Hearing this, Li Ang shook his head slightly: "Thanks to your cover, otherwise Lawson and the others might have discovered something wrong."

"Hehe... that's not necessarily true."

Facing the compliment, Luonan revealed a non-committal expression.

In his view, this Demon Dragon in front of the mirror was a bit too humble; if it weren't for his own great skill in investigating information and being in the mirror space, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect the wrongness in it at all.

And even he was like this, let alone Lawson's group.

It was also at this time that Sophia and the others gradually reacted.

Looking at the young man in front of them who was the same as usual, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Li Ang... it's good that you're okay. So much time has passed, we thought..."

The three stopped their words and didn't finish what they were saying.

Hearing this, although Li Ang didn't show any emotion on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised in his heart.

Because it was his first time using [Eternal Return · Fragment], he didn't know how much time had passed since the ability was activated; he thought at most a day or two had passed.

'The beggar version really has many flaws; I still have to find a way to improve it later.'

Just as he was thinking this, Old Wu said: "Li Ang, Lawson and the others might have sensed that you didn't die."

Then, without waiting for Li Ang to ask, the middle-aged man told all of their speculations.

After listening to his narration, Li Ang couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Old Wu didn't have conclusive evidence, he didn't take it lightly because of this.

He didn't want to work hard for half a day, only to be successfully caught by waiting for the rabbit.

Thinking of this, Li Ang looked at Luonan with an inquisitive gaze: "Does your Excellency have any information you can tell us? We know the rules; as an exchange, we will complete a commission for you."

"No need for a commission." Facing the inquiry, Luonan waved his hand slightly, then said very casually, "You guessed right, Lawson and the others are indeed still watching this star system."
