After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaolian sighed softly, with a little melancholy expression.

"What? Are you still worried about your team members?" Miao Yan looked at Chen Xiaolian with a smile.

The two of them are now in a small water bar with obvious Arabic style, with Middle Eastern music playing in the speakers. The night outside the window was dark, and there were not many guests in the water bar. The two occupied a corner, and each had a glass of freshly squeezed juice in front of them. Next to the table was a large hookah.

"There is nothing to worry about. Whether I am here or not, the meteorite team is a meteorite team." Chen Xiaolian shook his head and smiled: "I know my team members enough."

"Then why are you sighing?" Miao Yan raised her eyebrows: "Is it because... I want to separate from my girlfriend?"

"Yes, can't it be?" Chen Xiaolian looked accustomed: "If you were to leave your boyfriend for so long, wouldn't you even sigh? Oh... I forgot that you are from the upper world. Maybe... you are actually a big guy in that world."

Chen Xiaolian smiled and looked up and down Miaoyan's body: "Do you know? When I was playing online games, the characters I built were always female characters. After all, the guy on the screen was what I wanted to keep watching. A beautiful woman is more comfortable than a big man. You shouldn't have to..."

"If one day you have the chance to go to the upper world, you will know." Miao Yan smiled, as if she was not annoyed by Chen Xiaolian's words at all. She lowered her head and drank the juice in the glass: "It tastes good, but unfortunately there is no wine."

"This country prohibits alcohol from drinking nationwide. It is possible to buy secretly on the black market. If you want to find a bar or something, don't even think about it." Chen Xiaolian smiled, picked a cigarette holder connected to a leather tube from the hookah, and handed it to Miao Yan: "Although there is no wine, try this, the famous Arab hookah."

"I don't smoke." Miao Yan frowned, looked at the cigarette holder handed by Chen Xiaolian, and shook her head.

"It's different from tobacco." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "Believe me, give it a try. This pot is cardamom-flavored and should be very suitable for you."

Miao Yan looked at Chen Xiaolian, half-believingly reached out to take the cigarette holder, took a light sip, closed her eyes and slowly vomited out a cigarette ring.

"The taste...is not bad." Miao Yan recalled for a while, opened her eyes and smiled: "Okay, let's turn to the topic. What happened to you since the farewell that day? I'm very curious."

"Do I have to answer you?" Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows.

"It must. Because you still owe me a question." Miaoyan pinched the cigarette holder with two slender fingers, lowered her head and played with it: "Last time when we came out of Zero City, we agreed that each person could ask three questions - I only used two."

"Your memory is really good..." Chen Xiaolian laughed: "But the answer to this question may be very long."

"It's okay, I have enough time." Miao Yan smiled.

"Since then, a lot of things happened. A lot of things." He thought for a while: "I went to the end of the world, found Jojo, and..."

"Have you been to the end of the world?!" Before Chen Xiaolian could continue to say it, Miao Yan suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Chen Xiaolian: "How did you go?! You don't have the seeds of the world tree on hand! At least... there are no seeds of the world tree!"

"Entering the end of the world has nothing to do with the seeds of the world tree." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "All awakened people will enter there after they die. But... if you want to come back from there, you have to make some preparations in advance. And the seeds of the world tree you mentioned are actually something else."

"What is it?" Miao Yan leaned forward nervously and stared at Chen Xiaolian.

"What do you care so much about this thing?" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "You...want them?"

"Isn't it possible?"

"Of course." Chen Xiaolian shrugged: "I'm just curious, how did you know that I don't have the seeds of the World Tree on hand?"

"Guess." Miao Yan replied without hesitation: "After escaping from Zero City, you still don't know what the seeds of the World Tree are. It's only been so much time now, and I don't believe you can collect all seven. Is there any problem with this logic?"

"It sounds reasonable. However, I would rather believe another explanation-" Chen Xiaolian put his elbows on the table in front of him and looked closer at Miaoyan: "You have at least one seed of the world tree in your hand!"

The two of them looked at each other, as if they were in the air. After a moment, Miao Yan suddenly smiled: "Yes, I do. But this is not a shameful thing, there is no need to hide it from you."

"Tell me, what are you planning to do when you collect it?" Chen Xiaolian withdrew his arms and leaned back against the soft cushion.

"Let's talk about you first." Miaoyan smiled sly: "You haven't finished answering my question just now."

"Okay." Chen Xiaolian rolled his eyes: "After leaving the end of the world, I... well, it took me a little more trouble to actually rescue Qiao Qiao. Then, I was forced to take to Zero City and attend a certain meeting. Well, some real big shots."

"Big man?"

"The first batch of loopholes in this world, including Chen, is one of them. There, I learned part of the truth about this world and gained some...well, I didn't dare to think about it before.

But the problem now is that Chen wants to do something, something that will completely disappear from all our loopholes. So in order to stop him, the old monsters flipped their faces with Chen and started fighting.

In the end, the old monsters were all sealed in the collapsed City of Zero. But the problem is that Chen is too strong, even if City of Zero collapses, it is impossible to trap him for a long time. Before he leaves, I must make some other preparations, some preparations that will prevent me from stopping him!

Before Zero City collapsed, I escaped. But because I can't control my new power for the time being. So... if I just leave Zero City and return to the main world, the development team will definitely find me soon."

"So, you hid yourself in the dungeon first?" Miao Yan thought for a while: "But the system still found you. The red danger warning in that dungeon should be because it detected an abnormal state on you."

"Yes." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "When I left Zero City, I chose an ongoing copy, threw myself in, and temporarily created a copy of my personality to control my body. My own personality is used to merge with the singularity."

"Is this the second question?" Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows.

"Don't fool things up." Miao Yan glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "What I asked you is, what happened since then, of course, this is also included."

"Okay." Chen Xiaolian shrugged and thought for a while, "Actually... this question is really not easy to answer."

Miaoyan didn't respond, but just looked at Chen Xiaolian seriously.

Chen Xiaolian frowned and thought carefully for a moment, and slowly said: "Strictly speaking, my physical strength is probably only about level A. Don't worry——"

Seeing Miao Yan's eyes glaring, Chen Xiaolian smiled and waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. The physical strength I mean is to only calculate the part of the power obtained from the system, including skills, attributes and equipment. But in addition, there are some other things.

I got two pieces of equipment in Zero City. Although the guy I gave me didn't have any detailed explanation, according to my estimate, these two things must not be produced by the system, but were made by him with his own strength. With these two equipment alone, I should have reached the S-level level."

"Equipment?!" A surprise came out from Miao Yan's eyes: "Only rely on equipment?"

There is basically a consensus among players and awakened people - to be recognized as S level, at least two of all attributes must reach S level, and equipment is not included.

But according to Chen Xiaolian, just these two equipment can he move his strength from level A to level A and increase his level to level S?

"In addition, I also got part of the initial template of this world, and..." Chen Xiaolian thought about it, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe the ability to read the world code obtained from the angel's wings: "In general, I have a more thorough understanding of the way this world runs than before. Now I can use the rules. In addition, it also makes me have a deeper understanding of pure 'power' than before. So even if I don't use those two pieces of equipment, the ordinary S-level should not be my opponent."

"Use... the rules?" Miao Yan chewed the word Chen Xiaolian said: "In the dungeon just now, you made all the electronic guards invalid because of this power?"

"Yes." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "If it is a true 'battle', although I am not afraid of electronic guards, it is not that easy to kill all of them in such numbers. But although electronic guards are things created by the development team, they must ultimately comply with the laws of existence in this world. So it is still very easy to solve them."

"Then let's talk straight." Miao Yan blinked her eyes twice: "Who else can pose a threat to you now?"

Chen Xiaolian thought about it and said slowly: "First of all, I can't beat that guy Chen. Now he has reached the level of rewriting the rules. And the other old monsters are like Mr. Umbrella, which is a big problem. Although they are also at the level of using rules with me, the gap in proficiency is too big after all. But..."

Chen Xiaolian paused for a moment: "If I just want to save my life, I should still be able to escape if I want to escape."

"So, what about the copy?"

Chen Xiaolian changed into a relaxed expression: "Whether the monsters or electronic guards in the dungeon are just things set up by the development team. These things no longer pose any threat to me."
