Chapter 2122 System = Star?

Subconsciously, Ye Ye's eyes slowly swept over Lu Yue, Tian Qingtian and Liu Zhuangshi beside him. He knew very well that if he really wanted to delve into how he arrived at the Hope Star Region, then the process was definitely not something these three people could know, as the things involved were too big.

Not only that, Ye Ye realized that he might need to tell in detail how he traveled through time for thousands of years, from the Beastmaster era of Blue Star to the Lingxiu era where Li Lingzhi, Cui Yingying and Tian Qi were. Only in this way could he connect all the things and make the whole story complete and reasonable.

Of course, Ye Ye would never easily expose the existence of the system. He would cleverly skip this part and only say that it was by some coincidence that he was able to travel back a thousand years.

Moreover, Ye Ye had a strong premonition that the Morning Star, which had been developed for a thousand years, must know something about the existence of the system. Therefore, he also hoped to find out some information about the system from Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi.

At this moment, Ye Ye's eyes happened to meet Lu Yue and others. In an instant, Lu Yue and the other two understood and realized that the following story was beyond their understanding. So Lu Yue stretched his waist and yawned, as if to suggest that Ye Ye could continue to tell the story, and they were ready to leave temporarily.

"Um, Brother Ye, you guys chat first. I'm going back to the dormitory. See you later."

As Lu Yue spoke, he slowly stood up, as if he was reluctant to leave this lively occasion. His movements seemed a little stiff, as if he was trying to hide his inner uneasiness.

Seeing this, Tian Qingtian quickly stood up as well. Her eyes quickly swept over Ye Ye and the others, then fixed on Lu Yue and spoke.

"Um... Grandma, I'm going back to the teachers' dormitory first... I still have to continue the orientation tomorrow."

Her voice was soft and contained a hint of trepidation.

After Tian Qingtian finished speaking, he quickly followed Lu Yue, and the two of them walked straight out of the box without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Liu Zhuangshi stood up slowly, smiled and said to Ye Ye and others.

"I'll go to the kitchen and add a few dishes for you. If you need anything, just ask the waiter to call me."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a generous back.

As Lu Yue, Tian Qingtian and Liu Zhuangshi left one after another, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became a little solemn. The originally lively scene suddenly became much quieter, with only Ye Ye, Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi sitting opposite each other.

Ye Ye stared at the three familiar faces in front of him, and a complex and indescribable emotion surged in his heart. Time flies, but in his memory, the gathering of the four of them seemed to have just happened, as vivid as yesterday.

However, for Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi, this period of time seemed like a thousand years, long and torturous.

"Okay, now you can talk?"

There was a hint of expectation in Cui Yingying's voice, and her eyes were fixed on Ye Ye, as if she wanted to see the secrets deep in his heart through his eyes.

In fact, from the moment Ye Ye sent Lu Yue and others away, Cui Yingying had already noticed Ye Ye's intention. She knew that Ye Ye was finally going to tell them the truth.

Recalling the two previous appearances of Ye Ye, Cui Yingying couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Each time, she had asked about Ye Ye's origins, but she never got a clear answer, and Ye Ye suddenly disappeared without a trace.

For thousands of years, Cui Yingying and others have never given up the pursuit of Ye Ye. They searched everywhere, not missing any clues, but Ye Ye seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, without any news.

During these long years, they had made countless bold guesses, trying to solve the mystery of Ye Ye. However, those guesses were often too bizarre and unbelievable, and were eventually ruled out one by one.

Li Lingzhi stared at Ye Ye with curiosity, wondering how he got to Morning Star. In fact, they had already learned about this in the small meeting with Leon, Li Tiandao and Cui Yingying. However, Li Lingzhi always felt that they might get some unusual news.

In contrast, Tian Qi didn't seem to care much about all this. Her attention was completely attracted by the food in front of her. She stared at it absent-mindedly.

Ye Ye organized his thoughts a little, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and then he began to tell his story.

"This is a long story. Everything has to be traced back to three or four years ago..."

His voice sounded slowly, as if taking time back to the distant past. In the past three or four years, too many things have happened. Ye Ye described in detail the general process of his awakening of the beastmaster talent, going through various challenges and difficulties along the way, and finally having a fierce duel with Argerich.

This is undoubtedly a legendary experience of Ye Ye, and also the history of his rise to wealth. However, in the process of narrating, Ye Ye cleverly avoided the key plot of his time traveling to the Lingxiu era.

When Ye Ye finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence. Li Lingzhi, Leon, and Cui Yingying all listened quietly without making a sound, as if they were all pondering the story Ye Ye told.

Three or four years?

This is simply a fantasy! A normal human being, even if he is gifted, can never reach the level of fighting with Argerich after three or four years of practice, let alone winning by a narrow margin! You know, even Luo Chen at that time could never achieve such a level.

Tian Qi stared at Ye Ye with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief, as if he was a monster from outer space. She was full of curiosity about Ye Ye's life, but at the same time she felt that it was all too bizarre and difficult to understand.

"Then how did you appear in front of us?"

Tian Qi finally couldn't hold back her inner doubts and asked. This question was what she was most concerned about. Why did Ye Ye suddenly appear in their era? What secrets were hidden in this?

Hearing Tian Qi's question, Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying looked at each other, and their faces became a little solemn. They all knew that Tian Qi did not attend the meeting about Xing because the topic was too sensitive and they had agreed to completely block the relevant information and not let it leak out.

However, the appearance of Ye Ye forced them to reconsider this decision, because Ye Ye was very likely carrying a fragment of a star.

"Black hole."

Ye Ye said this with a relaxed look on his face, spreading his hands out as if nothing had happened.

However, his two words were like thunder, exploding in the ears of Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi.

"Black hole!?"

The three girls screamed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

Seeing this, Ye Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then explained slowly.

"Well, it can be said that the only thing that can travel through time and space and connect two different time nodes is a black hole."

He paused for a moment and then continued.

"Under the influence of some irresistible force, I accidentally passed through the black hole and came to the Lingxiu era, which was a thousand years before my own era. This was also my first time in Los Angeles, and my first time in the Bright District."

Having said that, a hint of helplessness and self-mockery appeared on Ye Ye's face.

"It's a pity that I was so embarrassed by the shuttle process at that time. I was dirty all over, just like a beggar..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Cui Yingying with some resentment.

It turned out that when Ye Ye first arrived in Guangming District, he happened to see Cui Yingying passing by him in the uniform of Guangming District No. 1 Middle School. Because the shuttle process was too painful, Ye Ye looked very embarrassed. Cui Yingying, perhaps out of pity for him, threw him three coins...

Cui Yingying obviously noticed this, and she coughed twice somewhat unnaturally, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Ahem...you did look a bit like a beggar at that time...and that was my breakfast money!"

Cui Yingying's voice was a little low, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

When Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi heard this, they looked at Cui Yingying at the same time, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They obviously didn't expect that there was such a story between Cui Yingying and Ye Ye, and Cui Yingying had never mentioned it to them before.

Cui Yingying realized that her words had attracted the attention of both people. Seeing this, Ye Ye hurriedly continued in order not to go off topic.

"In short, the first time I traveled to the Lingxiu era was completely an accident. But the second time, I did it on purpose. At that time, China was facing an extremely serious crisis, and we couldn't find a way to solve it. In desperation, I could only take the risk of going back a thousand years to see if I could find some clues in that era, so as to find an opportunity to solve the crisis."

At this point, Ye Ye's tone became serious.

"That was when I came to the refugee camp of the Sixth Demon Plain. There, I learned a lot about the demon race. I also learned that in the two years since I was away, the demon race had prospered so much and the Sixth Demon Plain had opened up."

"Later, I met Tian Qi. You also went to the refugee camp to clear out the monsters at the request of the school. We met again by coincidence."

Ye Ye continued speaking with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, because his life in recent years has been too busy. Even though it happened not long ago, in Ye Ye's mind it seemed as if it had gone through a thousand years of trials.

"At that time, I completed the magic kit you gave me with 100% completion, so was it helpful to you in the end?"

Cui Yingying suddenly said curiously that it took China a lot of financial and material resources to fill up the trench. At that time, Cui Yingying had already been a great contributor to the victory over the demon clan, and she was also in a very powerful position, otherwise she really could not help Ye Ye.

"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, can I sit here and talk to you? I'll just say it."

Ye Ye shrugged and spoke truthfully.

Seeing the two talking, Li Lingzhi's eyes flashed with a trace of thought. She noticed that Ye Ye did not mention the key existence of "star" at all in the conversation. This made Li Lingzhi wonder: Did Ye Ye deliberately not want to mention it, or did he not know what the fragment of "star" he had meant?

If it was the former, then it was understandable. After all, who would easily make such a precious and mysterious item public? If it were Li Lingzhi herself, she would never easily publicize the fact that she had a piece of "star". However, if it was the latter, then it would be a bit troublesome.

You know, the series of rule-based props and items that Ye Ye possessed had already exposed his secrets. If Ye Ye knew nothing about the fragments of the "Star", then at some point in the future, when he accidentally revealed the existence of the Star, it would probably cause countless troubles and troubles. After all, such a rare treasure would inevitably attract the covetousness of many greedy people.

Thinking of this, Li Lingzhi decided not to hesitate any longer, and she asked Ye Ye directly.

"Do you know that stars exist?" The question was asked directly and directly, without any hesitation.

Ye Ye was obviously stunned by Li Lingzhi's question. He hesitated for a moment, then asked in confusion,

"star?"

Hearing Ye Ye's doubtful voice, Li Lingzhi frowned slightly. From Ye Ye's reaction, she could clearly see that Ye Ye really seemed to know nothing about "Xing".

When Cui Yingying heard Li Lingzhi interrupting her conversation with Ye Ye, she was a little dissatisfied at first, but the next moment her face straightened and she looked at Ye Ye. She knew that they were about to get down to business.

Tian Qi looked at Li Lingzhi in confusion.

Star? Such a familiar term? I seem to have heard it somewhere before.

"A super collective that gathers the resources and wisdom of an entire super clan and can grow autonomously."

Li Lingzhi took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

However, just before Li Lingzhi finished her words, suddenly, the magnetic field in the private room they were in seemed to be moved by an invisible big hand, and the situation suddenly changed. The originally calm air began to flow violently, as if a powerful force was stirring everything around.

Although this power was invisible and intangible, people could clearly feel its presence. It was like the pressure of a powerful person, spreading around and covering the entire private room, making it an absolutely closed area where no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.

Cui Yingying was the first person to notice this abnormality. She raised her head suddenly, looked around, and showed a hint of surprise on her face. Then, as if she understood something, she nodded slightly. Obviously, she also realized the source of this power - Li Tiandao was watching here silently.

"..."

With Ye Ye's level, he naturally couldn't feel Li Tiandao's attack, but what Li Lingzhi just said made Ye Ye feel suffocated.

She's talking about...the system!
