“Boss, I’ll have a fried dough stick, a bowl of soy milk, and two barbecued pork buns, please.”

“Alright. Find a place to sit first. I’ll be right there.”

Lin Yi found an empty table and sat down, wearing a pair of beach pants, a pure-colored t-shirt, and flip-flops.

Three young men came over and ordered some food next to him not long after he sat.

A guy with bleached hair couldn’t wait to speak before sitting down.

“You guys didn’t see it. When you heard the system notification, it was like everyone was frozen in time. A few of them were even killed by deer, haha!”

The other skinny man couldn’t help but sigh.

“If it weren’t for the fact that multiple countries are monitoring this game, I would have suspected that this person was a GM.”

The rest of the rowdy guys followed suit and ridiculed, “That’s right, that’s right.”

“I’m still happy to be able to level up to Level 2, but he can already solo a Level 8 Boss. I even doubt if I’m playing the same game as him.”

“But watching him kill the Boss was really exciting! It made my hair stand on its ends.”

“Yeah, yeah. D*mn it! Several times, I saw him almost get hit by the boss. It really gave me goosebumps. It was too exciting.”

“But you guys really shouldn’t say that. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have known that the game could be played like this.”

“Who says he isn’t?”

“On the game’s forum, he is the first person in the game to be promoted to a God. It caused the jealousy of the big shots of the old guilds.”.

“And right now, on the game forum, five big old guilds are already offering annual salaries of millions of dollars to recruit him. This is the highest level of treatment among professional players!”

“Sigh, it’s like what they say… reaching the sky in one step.”

“Who says so? This God doesn’t seem to be interested in him. Until now, there is no news, and no one knows who he is.”

The boss brought the food they ordered to the table, and Blondie immediately said,

“Stop talking, hurry up, and eat. Eat until you’re full enough to level up.”

“I heard that killing slimes can stop bugs. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ll give it a try.”

“Eat, eat, eat…”

Lin Yi, who was already eating, didn’t feel that these people were talking about him. He was distracted by the sudden change in his body.

Do you believe that magicians who can control magic exist in this world?

Just like the magicians in the game, they could control magic at will.

Most who heard the question would probably think that he was crazy.

The game was the game. How could a body of flesh and blood control magic in real life?

If someone had asked him before today, he would have thought that they were crazy too.

After all, this was something utterly unimaginable to anyone inhabiting the earth.

When Lin Yi woke up from the game, however, he was confused.

Feeling the mana flowing in his body, he wondered if he was still in the game.

The feeling he had now was the same as in the game.

If there were a difference, it would be that he needed a channeling bar when he cast the fireball, and now… it could be instantly cast!

Lin Yi increasingly felt that the entire thing went against the laws of common sense and physics, and he even believed that it was too surreal and unrealistic.

But since rebirth could happen to him, it wouldn’t be strange if he added another one.

When he finally stopped thinking about it, he thought of another possibility.

He wondered what he would be like in the real world after receiving the game’s Spirit Master’s inheritance.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile.

Once he accepted this reality from the bottom of his heart, he felt that it wasn’t so bad after all.

At least now he didn’t have to worry about his own safety anymore.

Even if someone was pointing a gun at him, he was confident that they wouldn’t be able to come back.

He took his breakfast slowly and wasn’t in a hurry to go back.

Usually, people like Lin Yi, who had been kicked out of the game, would only be able to log back after four hours, so it made no sense going back now.

Lin Yi felt helpless at the thought of fighting a red-skinned pig.

When he finished eating and went to pay the bill, he saw a familiar figure.

…..

Glory Of The Gods, the world’s most successful game in human history, allowed every single player to be online simultaneously.

During his previous life’s three years of the game, some had risen from the game and became legends.

There were also legends who fell one after another during this period.

What had left a deep impression on Lin Yi was someone known as the “Rock Shield” at that time. He had been consistent since he was young.

The reason why he left a deep impression on Lin Yi wasn’t because of his insane defense but because his experience was a sensation in the gaming circle.

As the top shield warrior in the first tier of the game, he had been consistent since young and didn’t receive the treatment that matched his strength.

He was the first and only top-tier player to be crowned God by the game on the same day he logged out, never to appear again.

The reason was that he had been consistent since young, and for some unknown reason, offended the upper management of some super guild in the Asian region.

In order to kill him, the upper echelons had mobilized two elite teams to surround and intercept him. In the end, they had him trapped in a canyon, preventing him from advancing or retreating.

At that time, the nearby Resurrection Point had already arranged for guild members to wait for him to resurrect before killing him again until he returned to Level 0.

One had to know that every piece of equipment the upper echelons had sent out was first-rate equipment from that time.

His death seemed to become a fact that couldn’t be changed.

However, what happened afterward made everyone’s jaws drop.

In the face of the frenzied bombardment of 20 magic classes from the elite team, he had always been steady. However, since they had relied on a shield and exquisite micro-positioning to resist until the mana bars of all the magic classes were depleted, he had no choice but to send out his melee classes to engage in melee combat.

However, against attacks from all directions, he surpassed expectations. Not only could he block all attacks with his perfect positioning, but he could even counterattack. Unexpectedly, he had taken out a few of the careless assassin members, causing his opponents to be utterly defeated.

When the video of the incident spread, it threw the entire Internet into an uproar.

No one had expected that the meat shield, which was usually not favored by everyone, could actually operate in such a manner. It was truly an eye-opener, and everyone exclaimed that his battle awareness had definitely reached the ranks of top players.

Although in the end, he still died in the canyon under the constant support of Fang Yuan—regarding the astonishing awareness and terrifying defensive ability he displayed in that battle, the second day after the video was exposed, he was hailed by the entire Internet as a Rock Shield, which bore the meaning, as firm as a rock.

On that same day, when the other large guilds discovered his talent and ability and tried to recruit him, he chose to leave the game on its most glorious day, and there was no news of him ever since.

At that time, many rumors had spread across the Internet…

“He was chased by that large guild, so he got so disheartened he chose to leave the game.”

“Something happened to him in real life, so he stopped logging in.”

“That guild was worried that he would rise up and take revenge on the guild one day. So, they deliberately found him in real life and beat him up until he was seriously injured. In the end, he died.”

People had no way of telling whether the news was true or false.

But the rise and sudden disappearance of the strongest meat shield became a huge resentment in the game’s circle.

Lin Yi had only read about it in the news, but he didn’t expect to meet him in person, here after his rebirth.

He didn’t know if this was fate.

Why do you think Lin Yi knew him?

It was because he was one of the few in the game who didn’t modify his appearance.

In the reports about him in his previous life, his image in the game appeared many times. They could be said to be an exact match to the middle-aged man that Lin Yi was looking at.

“Big Brother Fang, have you thought about it?”

At that moment, a man with bleached hair talked to the man opposite him.

“Anyway, you’ve just been discharged by the Army and won’t be finding a job for a while. Our guild is recruiting some capable members. I think you’re quite suitable.”

“If you pass, not only will the guild pay for the game helmet, but you will also receive a minimum wage of 3,000 per month. If you contribute to the guild, there will be a separate bonus.”

“This is good for you and sister-in-law, isn’t it?”

Under the constant persuasion of the other party, Fang Zhengrong’s expression finally softened.

“Then, when can I start playing?”

“Big Brother Fang, you finally agreed? That’s great!”.

“Tell your Big Brother Fang that my guild is a top-tier guild in the country. It’s called the Temple of God. If you don’t believe me, you can go online and check it out.”

“Temple of God?”

Lin Yi’s expression changed when he heard this.

At that moment, the bleached-haired guy took out a few documents that looked like contracts.

“Come, Big Brother Fang, sign this letter of intent. I’ll bring you to the company for an interview tomorrow. Let’s go through the process.”.

Just as Fang Zhengrong picked up a pen and was about to sign the so-called letter of intent, a hand suddenly appeared and covered the contract.

“You can’t sign this..”
