Ling Yi sighed, ‘If only I could see her stats.‘

This thought brought him back to his [Attribute Duplication].

Previously, when he used this skill, he hoped to see other units’ attributes. This would make it easier for him to use this skill.

Now that he had the Ice Queen, he had an even greater need for this ability.

‘It seems that this matter can’t be delayed any longer. I’ll need to look it up when I get back.‘

Ling Yi made up his mind. When he returned, he would look for skills that might be helpful to his [Attribute Duplication].

This way, he would see if he could get the desired effect by mutating these skills.

‘Wait a minute,‘ Ling Yi suddenly stopped amongst the moving crowd. He touched his chin in thought, ‘Can I copy the Ice Queen’s attributes?‘

Just thinking about this made Ling Yi slightly excited.

He knew very well that the Ice Queen’s attributes were replicable. He is sure that she didn’t have any ability to “prevent reduplication.”

Once he successfully replicated it, his strength would soar again!

‘I’ll try it when I get back!‘

He held back the surging emotions in his heart, but he couldn’t help but let a happy smile creep up to his face.

He continued to walk forward with a cheerful skip to his step.

There were less than five minutes before he returned to the Main World. He could use his time to collect a wave of emotion points from the people around him.

[You have absorbed 77 points of surprise value from Zhang Tianba]

[You have absorbed 33 depression points from Luo Yao.]

[You absorbed …]

He had originally planned to leave after clearing out all the monsters in the third stage.

He didn’t expect to attract many players on his way back.

When he noticed players walking up the mountain, he stopped his fights and called back the Ice Queen. Then he used his Teleportation Talisman to quietly blend into the group of players.

This was why the players could still see hundreds of flaming skeletons when they came up.

The remaining ones were the ones the Ice Queen had not managed to kill in time.

Some of the skeletons were at level 15 or 16, while some were at level 17 or 18.

To Ling Yi, who was already at level 17, it could no longer give him much experience.

Even if there are 100 crickets, all level 17, they would only give 100 exp in total. Not to mention that most of them were low-level, so in reality, they would only give even less.

It was just less than 100 experience points. If he gave it up, so be it. There was nothing to regret.

Just as Ling Yi was walking around in the crowd, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

“Hey, what are you doing?” A forthright and clean female voice came from behind him.

Ling Yi turned around to look and was met with a young and beautiful girl with pink eyes, looking at him curiously.

She was wearing a pink cardigan jacket and a white short-sleeved shirt on the inside. She’s also wearing sky blue denim shorts and a belt.

Her legs were long and slender, a perfect set of legs.

“I saw you walking among the crowd just now. Were you looking for something?” The young girl asked, blinking her eyes.

“… Oh, it’s you,” Ling Yi finally said. For a second, he thought it was someone else.

This girl is Lin Qingyu, another player from Qianjiang City.

Two days ago, he was brought by her to run a few kilometers at the Grassland Wolf Camp. When he woke up yesterday morning, his back was sore, and even now, his legs can still feel the strain.

He had a deep impression of her.

“No, I’m not looking for anything. I’m just looking around.” Ling Yi crossed his arms and replied perfunctorily. He then asked casually, “How about you?”

“Me?” Lin Qingyu blinked and sighed, “I didn’t have anything to do, so I just came up with everyone to take a look. I thought I’d be able to see this mysterious Big Shot, but it’s all for nothing.”

“Again?” Ling Yi raised his eyebrows subconsciously and asked, “You’re looking for him too?”

Lin Qingyu rolled her eyes at him and folded her arms too, “Who wouldn’t want to find him? Such a mysterious powerhouse is in our district. Aren’t you curious as to who this person is?”

“Uh … Of course I’m curious.”

“… Why do I feel like you’re just brushing me off?” Lin Qingyu raised one of her eyebrows.

Ling Yi shrugged helplessly.

And thankfully, Lin Qingyu just continued, “I don’t know if that guy is a man or a woman, tall or short, fat or thin. I don’t know if they’re good people or not. If this person is a demon reincarnate, then all the players in our district will be in trouble.”

“Do you think they will kill us?”

“It’s not just that,” Lin Qingyu pouted and said thoughtfully, “Then we might be stuck in this low level for the rest of our lives, unable to go up.”

Everyone knew that players could fight to their heart’s content in God’s Path.

Killing other players would not only give exp, but they could also drop a random number of gold coins.

And their death penalty is not too severe.

The unfortunate killed player would only lose a portion of his gold coins, and his level would drop.

“He can’t possibly suppress the development of more than 9,000 people alone, right? But experts have many retainers, and those retainers are even more despicable.” Lin Qingyu clenched her small fist. Resentment was evident in her tone, “The Emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. Those followers want to please their master, and they are cruel to the weak.”

“After the players in some districts became stronger, they started to form forces to oppress the players there. These despicable people will immediately chase them and will only be satisfied when other people’s level remains in the one-digit range, so others have no chance of catching up to them. ”

“It’ll be disastrous if we really encounter such a player.”

Ling Yi was surprised to hear Lin Qingyu’s words.

In his opinion, the players of each district should work together because they all have a common goal.

He had neglected other factors that could play into their motives.

“It’s also one of the reasons why everybody here is working so hard to become stronger. They wanted to avoid being in such a vulnerable position.”

Speaking up to this point, Lin Qingyu’s tone suddenly changed as she smiled, “However, what I said just now was only the rarest and the worst-case scenarios. In most cases, it’s tough for someone to monopolize the market like that. It’s often a scene of a Hundred Flowers blooming and heroes competing. ”

“And…” Lin Qingyu paused, turned her head, glanced at the Golden Peak, then sighed, “Mysterious bosses like our district who don’t show their faces have appeared in other districts before.”

“When they revealed their identity at the end, some were kind people, but others…”

Ling Yi’s smile thinned, then he fell into a deep thought.

‘Suppression of the strong against the weak? If this can happen between 10,000 people, then isn’t it more common in the modern world?‘

Ling Yi’s mind quickly went into overdrive.

Narrow-minded people who were jealous of others’ excellent talents… A self-proclaimed important person who would sacrifice others for his own benefit and oppress others… A violent person who would attack at the slightest disagreement…

‘It seems that the old man next door was right. After having extraordinary powers, their ideologies become so important that it changes people.‘

He suddenly understood.

Why are some players attracted to the people’s adoration and praise for something insignificant they did?

It’s because it played a part in the ordinary people’s fantasy of a player.

They always assume that every player is a kind person.

Therefore, every player who did a good deed would receive praise and rewards in various ways.

In this era, they take pride in being “players of justice”.
