Chapter 330: The Three Who Arrived from the Myriad Worlds
"Am I dead?"
The one who spoke was a girl with long black hair, wearing traditional Miao silver earrings and possessing a pair of dark green eyes.
She was clad in a large gray overcoat, beneath which was a tight isolation suit used to prevent the leakage of Gu poison.
Her name was Chen Duo.
Currently, she was a temporary worker for the company "Wherever You Go."
And just now, she had learned from Ma Xianhong that she wasn't really a temp—
but more like a weapon kept in captivity, equipped with an explosive collar that would detonate at the slightest anomaly.
"I should've left Biyou Village and returned to the hidden base…"
Chen Duo's gaze was vacant as she muttered to herself, trying to recall what had happened.
"Did I get blown up because I stayed in Biyou Village too long?"
For her, things that most people would instinctively do required her to pause and calculate carefully, following a preset internal routine.
Being suddenly dropped into this unfamiliar snowy mountain stirred a sense of confusion within her—
and a tinge of fear.
"Is that… Chen Duo?"
Fang Yi, who could monitor the entire Reincarnation Game space and observe all players' perspectives, naturally saw the first figure to arrive.
Just a quick glance and a negligible expenditure of reward points allowed him to retrieve most of her data.
[Chen Duo]
Level: Lv.1 (1/100 EXP)
Stats: Strength 12, Agility 11, Constitution 8, Spirit 24
Skill: Holy Gu Vessel Lv.1 (Defective)
Equipment: None
Info: A special type of "異人" (Stranger) from the [Yi Ren] World, currently a temp worker for Wherever You Go, assigned to the Biyou Village mission.
Fang Yi's brow furrowed slightly as he muttered, "I didn't expect the first person to respond to the invitation to be her… This might be troublesome."
Next to him, the white-haired loli asked, "What's wrong, Master? Is her talent or willpower too weak?"
Fang Yi nodded… then shook his head.
"In terms of talent, she's above average in her world. But her willpower… is somewhat lacking."
His intention behind distributing the Myriad World Invitation Letters was to find individuals with high potential from various realms—
to use them as anchors to expand the reach of the game in their respective worlds.
For example, if someone like Whitebeard had received it,
his personality and foresight would've driven him to hunt pollution monsters and gather more invitations to distribute to his 'sons,'
and eventually the entire Grand Fleet would become players.
In time, Fang Yi would simply follow protocol, send invitation letters to Whitebeard's enemies, and let them compete—
a virtuous cycle.
Eventually, the entire world would fall into the hands of the Reincarnation Game.
"The [Yi Ren] World is technically just a first-tier world," Fang Yi mused.
"But with its intricate magic, powers, and the Eight Miracles, its potential is huge."
World level wasn't determined purely by destructive capacity.
The "Yi Ren" World didn't feature island-obliterating attacks like those in One Piece or Naruto—
but in terms of energy control and refinement, it far surpassed them.
For instance, there were worlds like [Bleach],
where battles weren't always continent-busting but their mastery of laws and rules made their top fighters god-tier in other universes.
The world Chen Duo came from was much like that.
Though the energy density was low and it was technically a Tier-1 world,
if Fang Yi invested a couple of energy-expanding runes, it could easily be upgraded to Tier-2.
Conversely, high-energy worlds like Naruto would require far more resources to evolve.
"So the 'Yi Ren' world is high potential, low cost to level up," Fang Yi explained.
It was a modern supernatural world where humans cultivated something called "Qi,"
granting access to mysterious pseudo-rules and unique powers.
"But Chen Duo… is the catch."
Fang Yi shook his head. "She's not a self-made cultivator.
She was taken as a baby by an organization called [Yao Xian Hui] and turned into a living Gu vessel—stripped of all emotion.
Even now, after being rescued and taught how to be a normal person, deep down, she's still a tool bred to carry poisons."
If someone like Zhang Chulan or Tangmen had received the invitation,
the game would already be thriving in her world.
But Chen Duo didn't have the personality to do that.
"So she can't be a top-tier player?" the white-haired loli asked, disappointment in her tone.
Each of the Myriad World Invitations was costly and could pierce time and space to recruit high-potential candidates.
Wasting one would be a shame.
"On the contrary." Fang Yi smiled.
Chen Duo was a perfect vessel.
She had no excessive desires, no greed. She only acted according to what she believed in.
The Reincarnation Game offered precisely that—
a platform where one could freely choose to play or not, stay in town or go adventuring.
Most players would feel pressured by the monsters, tasks, and material requirements.
But not Chen Duo.
To her, all those things were just… options.
So long as she took that first step, she'd become one of the most dedicated, focused players imaginable.
At that moment, Chen Duo, still staring blankly at the silver dragon-like mountains around her,
heard a voice beside her.
"Miss, may I ask where we are?"
The speaker had emerged from a nearby frost-covered bush.
He wore a traditional Republic-era long gown, his features sharp and handsome, with a thick braid trailing down his back.
"Qing Dynasty?"
Chen Duo looked at him and tilted her head curiously.
She had read plenty of books and materials since being sent to the hidden fortress by Uncle Liao.
This man's outfit hadn't been seen in over a hundred years.
Then again, some Strangers were just eccentric.
Chen Duo was puzzled for a moment, then lost interest.
"Qing Dynasty?"
The man echoed, equally confused.
Her appearance suggested she was from the same nation—China.
But her speech implied his dynasty was long gone.
Even in foreign lands like America or Europe, people still referred to China as "Qing Guo" or "The Celestial Empire," not "Qing Dynasty."
She made it sound like a nation that had already perished.
"I am Wong Fei-Hung," the man said, cupping his fists.
"Chief Instructor of the Guangdong Black Flag Navy and local militia."
"Miss, I seemed to have lost track of time and suddenly found myself transported to this unfamiliar realm."
