    After collecting up the items dropped by the boss, he saw that the Lost Ring on his hand started to flicker.


    “Looks like the clue to this thing is nearby.”


    Li Yi looked around and suddenly saw a small cave in the distance. He then walked inside.


    There was a lot of sticky goo in the cave. It looked like the Green Mud Monsters had used it as a nest. The deeper he walked into the cave, the faster the Lost Ring shed.


    When he reached a stone, the ring had already begun to vibrate intensely. It seemed to be right there. Li Yi pushed the stone away with a little force.


    He did not find the stone that he had found a while ago. Instead, it was a crystal te.


    [Item: Crystal te (mission Item)]


    [Effect: !]


    “The item required for the mission is indeed here!!”


    Li Yi immediately picked up the item and put it into his backpack. He was about to walk out of the cave when he suddenly received a notification.


    [System Notification: You have exceeded the maximum time you can be online. For your safety, the system will force you to go offline in ten minutes. Please forgive us as taking a break is important and we care about your health!!]


    There was indeed a mandatory time to go offline in the early stages of the game for the sake of everyone’s safety. However, after realizing that everyone was not too ufortable ying long hours in the game, there was no longer a notification for the mandatory time to go offline.


    “Log off!”


    ...


    After walking out of the game pod, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. Only then did he realize that he was a little hungry. After all, nutrient fluids could not bepared to real food. He immediately took out the groceries he bought and prepared a meal for himself.


    However, at this moment, his appetite was big. He ate all the food he bought for two days in one sitting. It was now around 12 p.m. in the afternoon. He could go online after going out to buy some more food and to catch up on his sleep.


    He walked out of the main door and breathed in the fresh air outside, he felt veryfortable. There were more people on the streets at this moment, but most of them only discussed one topic.


    “I just purchased a game helmet today. When I entered Novice Vige, it was packed. There were more yers than monsters. I might as well go offline directly and wait for you guys to level up.”


    “Exactly. I was just a step toote and ended up like this.”


    “I have to say, the people from the Immortal Rain Pavilion in the No. 67,000 Novice Vige are really powerful. It is said that they sent over a hundred people to defeat a ck-iron boss. Now, arge number of people have joined them!!”


    “That’s nothing. I heard that a person from a certain Novice Vige killed a ck-iron boss alone. I suspected that it was fake though. How could someone kill it alone?”


    “I heard that too. However, if the server announcement released it, it must be true. Someone killed a ck-iron boss by themself. I heard that this person might be living a dream.”


    “...”


    Li Yi did not pay much attention to it. He walked into a convenience store and began to purchase supplies.


    ...


    After Li Yi finished getting his groceries, he walked out of the convenience store. He nced at his phone and realized that his phone battery was low. He then went back to the convenience store to buy a 100 yuan recharge card and charged it.


    However! Just as his phone’smunicationwork was restored, he saw someone giving him a ring. It was his university ssmate, Wang Qiang. He did not know why this person had called him, but he picked it up nheless.


    “Hello, Wang Qiang, why did you think of calling me?”


    “Heyo, I finally got through to your phone. Did you go missing? You stopped contacting me after graduation!”


    Wang Qiang directlyined over the phone.


    Li Yi was stunned and exined, “Uh, definitely not. I didn’t realize my phone battery had died. You called me just as I was charging my phone.”


    “Oh, is that so? Then the time for you to charge your phone was just right. There’s a ss reunion tonight at 7 p.m. and the venue is at the Bi Qi Club. I heard that our ss monitor will be there too! Your chance is now!!”


    Wang Qiang said excitedly over the phone.


    Li Yi, who had reincarnated, was not interested in the current ss monitor anymore. Instead, he directly asked, “Why is there a ss reunion all of a sudden?”


    “I’m not too sure either, but we still have to get together more often. Otherwise, our rtionship will be estranged. You have to be there tonight. I’ll add your name. When the timees, you can just sign in. I’ll hang up first.”


    After Wang Qiang said that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.


    Li Yi did not think much about it and continued his journey home.


    It seemed that his phone had stopped working in his previous life. Moreover, all his attention was on Divine Revtion, so he did not pay too much attention to the low battery message. He did not attend this ss reunion at that time, so he was not clear about what had happened.


    However, what was certain was that this ss reunion should be rted to Divine Revtion.


    Looking at the clock on the wall, it was not even 1:00 p.m. It was still very early before the 7:00 p.m. ss reunion.


    He used his phone to set the rm for 6:00 p.m. and prepared to sleep before attending the reunion. Anyway, the hotel was rtively close to his ce, and it had been a tiring day ying the game.


    ...


    At 6:00 p.m. Li Yi was woken up on time by the rm clock. He immediately got up and tidied himself up. Then, he went out to take a taxi to the hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, it was already 6:40 p.m. The time was just right. Li Yi went up and checked his name on the list with the guards. The guard looked at the name list and let him pass.


    Li Yi walked into the hall of the club, found a remote corner, and sat down.


    At this time, many people had alreadye to the hall. Each of them was well-dressed and their faces were full of excitement. They walked in the hall, exchanged hugs and pleasantries with familiar ssmates, not forgetting to exchange business cards too of course.


    There were also some people who were surrounded by a few ssmates and talked about their current achievements.


    “Compared to the previous student gatherings, this time it has really changed a lot.”


    After three years of not seeing each other, he had be increasingly unfamiliar with many of his ssmates. Society was like a melting pot. Many people lived in it, and more or less, there were some changes.


    Li Yi was not interested in participating in the conversations that went on. Instead, he sat quietly on the sofa, drank his red wine, and waited for the details of the party.


    Soon after, the music in the hall became gentle, and the people around them also quieted down. Then, a woman in a gorgeous dress, like a delicate swan, slowly walked into the center of the hall.


    Nicole, the ss monitor of her university days. She was also the dream lover of most people in the school. Li Yi was no exception. After all, there were many men around her.


    Nicole picked up the microphone and began to greet the students around her. Then, she nced at the people around her and told them the reason why she had organized this gathering.


    “I believe that everyone knows that Divine Revtion has already been activated. I have created a guild behind me. Misty Rain Guild is now preparing to recruit a group of core members. All of you are my ssmates. I rmend all of you to join!”


    “Our Misty Rain Guild is very powerful and has a lot of capital. As long as you have the ability, you can even be the king of the world. Your status in this guild is definitely not inferior to that in the real world.”


    Nicole then began to talk about the benefits. The people below all became interested and listened carefully.


    “Misty Rain Guild?”


    Li Yi was not too interested in this guild. In his previous life, their guild was not one of the strongest guilds. It was only because Misty Rain Guild was a financial magnate that people invested in. Everything was for the sake of benefits.


    If you werepletely squeezed out from all your benefits, you would be mercilessly abandoned.


    Even if Li Yi wanted to join, he would first choose the Holy Angel Guild, Scorching Sun Guild, and other guilds that were ranked higher in his previous life. The treatment there was at least fair and just.


    Nicole’s speech had stirred up everyone’s excitement at that moment. Many people went to register, but there was still a small portion that did not go. This made the small portion of people get immediately isted from the rest.


    Li Yi was toozy to talk to the group of isted people too.. He just silently waited for the end of the ss reunion.
