Chapter 80: "Day One" Turning Enemies into Friends
In the live streaming room, some players recognized the woman Zhao Yi was treating like a pig to be slaughtered.
"It's Luo Qili! The newcomer from the Call to Arms guild this year. I heard Yang Tao, the boss, took a liking to her because of her high spirit level!"
"Isn't she level 9?"
"Wow—A level 9 player was taken down by Zhao Yi, who's only level 4?"
"She's not dead yet... Damn, this Zhao Yi is twisted. Does he enjoy beating people half to death and then dragging them around to slowly finish them off?"
"Hey, Zhao Yi was whistling 'My Motherland.' Let me whistle a bit for you, I can do it too!"
"Shut the hell up, will you!"
...
Zhao Yi walked down the deserted city streets.
Ash floated in the sky.
As he searched for his way, he fiddled with the camera in his hand.
It was a very important item.
If that phone call was from the future, then it meant that one day in the future, this camera would be of great use!
"Unfortunately... it's broken..."
"The camera has no lens, no viewfinder, no film, no battery."
"Going to the asylum... is it to collect these things?"
Zhao Yi pondered, the crack in his vision felt odd.
This crack had been there since he woke up.
It felt like wearing broken glasses, severely affecting his observation.
Was it just him, or did everyone have it?
He paused, looked down at the half-dead woman, squatted, and politely asked:
"Do you see a crack in front of your eyes?"
Luo Qili screamed in terror at Zhao Yi's face getting close, her expression breaking down instantly!
Clearly, she was extremely shocked!
"Don't come near!"

"Don't..."
At this moment, her previous malice and viciousness had vanished, replaced by fear!
After being parasitized by the Plunderer, she lost not just physical life force, but also SAN!
At this moment, in her eyes, Zhao Yi's originally handsome face was distorted into an unseeable form, directly impacting her spirit!
Luo Qili deeply regretted it, she should have waited for him to leave...
Why did she provoke this lunatic?
She shouldn't have listened to the nonsense from that phone call!
"Answer my question, and I'll set you free."
Zhao Yi empathetically comforted the victim's emotions.
—By blinding her eyes.
Unable to see Zhao Yi's face, Luo Qili's SAN stabilized slightly.
She lay motionless on the ground.
"I see cracks too... Please stop torturing me, let me go."
Luo Qili said quietly.
Zhao Yi was thoughtful.
"Do you have any treasures to heal injuries?"
"No."
Luo Qili didn't want to waste words with Zhao Yi.
She just wanted to leave this terrifying world as soon as possible.
And... this lunatic beside her.
"What a pity... I thought you had potential and wanted to play with you..."
Zhao Yi sighed.
Luo Qili was stunned on the ground, then stammered:
"Play... play with me?"
"Of course."
"Why?"
Zhao Yi snapped his fingers.
"Because you're a cunning bastard, you kill without blinking, you're ruthless, you're vicious, you're twisted enough..."
Luo Qili: "..."
For a moment, she didn't know if Zhao Yi was praising her or insulting her...
Also... damn it, you're the twisted one, okay?
After a long silence, Luo Qili asked:
"What are your conditions?"
Zhao Yi thought for a moment: "Fifty thousand points, after all, taking an extra person is quite tiring."
Hearing this, Luo Qili lay back down.
Her expression was very serene.
"Kill me, I won't resist."
Zhao Yi coughed.
"How many points do you have?"
Luo Qili replied:
"8000... but I can't give them all to you."
"I can give you 5000 points, plus a blue item."
Zhao Yi stroked his chin and finally said painfully:
"Deal."
Hearing this, Luo Qili initiated a team-up with Zhao Yi on the system panel.
Zhao Yi curiously looked at the team-up invitation and clicked accept.
In previous dungeons, players couldn't freely team up.
[Players Zhao Yi and Luo Qili have teamed up, teammate damage reduced by 80%, rewards will be distributed based on contribution after completing the mission.]
[Congratulations to player Zhao Yi for receiving 5000 points.]
[Congratulations to player for obtaining the item 'Adulterer's Skateboard.']
...
[Item: Adulterer's Skateboard]
[Quality: Blue]
[Description: ...After Ichiro Leaf owned this skateboard, he never got beaten for cheating again!]
[Effect: Ride it, and you'll experience incredible speed!]
[Ichiro Leaf's message: My speed is beyond your imagination!]
...
Looking at this blue item, Zhao Yi was speechless.
This game really has all sorts of bizarre items.
"Alright, there's a blue pill in my inventory, eating it can quickly heal injuries."
"My hand was cut off by you... feed it to me."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Where is it?"
"In my pocket."
"Hey?! Not the chest pocket, you idiot!"
"You should've said so earlier!"
"Damn! Are you still pinching?!"
"..."
After swallowing a blue pill, Luo Qili's injuries healed at a visible speed.
Soon, her blinded eyes were restored.
Zhao Yi withdrew the 'Plunderer' parasitizing her.
Luo Qili stood up, and after basically recovering, she cautiously glanced at Zhao Yi.
Despite everything, she still felt intimidated by Zhao Yi.
"Did you receive a call from the future?"
Zhao Yi asked.
Luo Qili was silent for a moment, then replied:
"The future me... told me to kill you!"
"And then... go to the asylum with you."
As she finished speaking, Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed immediately.
Seeing this, Luo Qili was startled, took a step back, and gritted her teeth:
"We're teammates now, you... wouldn't want to kill me, right?!"
Zhao Yi showed a friendly smile.
"Of course not!"
"You're such a beautiful woman, I can't bear to use force."
Luo Qili rolled her eyes dramatically.
Can't bear to use force—referring to cutting off her two arms and a leg.
The two headed towards the asylum marked on the system map.
"Zhao Yi... who do you think is on the phone?"
"You already have an answer, don't you? Why ask me?"
Zhao Yi replied, his tone meaningful.
Luo Qili fell silent.
She suspected the person on the phone was her future self.
At first, she didn't understand.
Why would her future self want her to kill Zhao Yi, yet also want her to go to the asylum with him...
These were two logically contradictory statements.
But now she understood.
She had to try to kill Zhao Yi, show him her abilities, to become his teammate.
"The task keywords include time-space and logical loop... Time-space means there's more than one time-space in this world... which is why my future self can call my present self..."
"Then what does the logical loop mean?"
Luo Qili's eyes were filled with confusion.
