The game servers shut down, but only I know about the invasion of reality.

Having finished a day of gaming, Lin Chen originally planned to check out the forums.

But at that moment, Bai Shuyi knocked on his door.

Lin Chen opened the door and asked, "What's up?"

"I transferred here!"

Bai Shuyi replied.

But Lin Chen looked blank. "What does that have to do with me?"

"You!"

Bai Shuyi was speechless and couldn't help but retort, "We're friends at least, and roommates too, and we'll be schoolmates in the future. Don't you think you should accompany me to school tomorrow, to get familiar with the environment?"

Lin Chen understood Bai Shuyi's meaning.

Logically speaking, her request wasn't excessive.

After all, Lin Chen was living in Bai Shuyi's house now.

This house was no longer his.

Besides, Bai Shuyi had promised to lend him money in the future.

What a great friend!

She was simply asking Lin Chen to fulfill his duties as a friend and take her to familiarize herself with the campus.

Was such a request excessive?

Not at all!

However, Lin Chen had been reborn.

He knew that the world was about to face a cataclysmic change.

So, in Lin Chen's eyes, studying?

What was the point of studying!

Could studying save lives when the game invaded reality?

It couldn't!

According to Lin Chen's memories, the game invasion was a form of interdimensional invasion, even more spectacular and terrifying than the scenes in those sci-fi movies. The weapons of Blue Star, even all the nuclear weapons fired together, couldn't stop it!

Lin Chen had even witnessed an level 80 Dark Dragon Boss withstand the impact of a missile!

This showed that these creatures, or rather, magical creatures, were immune to weapons like guns.

Laser cannons might be able to deal with them.

But Blue Star had only recently developed laser cannon technology, and there were very few of them, and they were soon depleted.

So, only magic could defeat magic.

As for technology...

Perhaps, it could defeat the invaders in the future.

But definitely not now.

Even if they started research now, it would be too late.

It was useless.

If developing technology was useless, studying was even more useless.

So, Lin Chen's first reaction when he heard that Bai Shuyi still wanted to go to school was... was this girl out of her mind?

And she wanted to drag him along to school with her?

Wasn't that a waste of time!

"What are you looking at? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Bai Shuyi looked strange.

Lin Chen couldn't explain it. Such mysterious things as rebirth, even if he told her, Bai Shuyi wouldn't believe him, and might even think he was crazy. Even if she believed him, this was Lin Chen's biggest secret, and he couldn't reveal it!

"No, I have things to do these few days, I don't have any free time."

Lin Chen made an excuse.

"What do you have to do?" Bai Shuyi didn't understand.

"I really have something to do. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to take three days off. I was just about to send a message to the class advisor!"

As he spoke, Lin Chen sent a message to the class advisor in front of Bai Shuyi, requesting a leave of absence.

The class advisor replied with an "ok" gesture, along with a message: "I'll forward it to all the subject teachers... However, Lin Chen, you can't keep taking leave all the time. Come to school when you have time, and we'll talk face-to-face!"

"Alright!"

Lin Chen replied.

Agreeing was one thing.

As for going to school to talk?

Sure!

He would definitely go to school.

But Lin Chen was thinking of going after the game invasion.

Definitely not now.

Lin Chen showed the chat window to Bai Shuyi.

"Okay, if you have something to do, then forget it." Bai Shuyi didn't say anything.

It wasn't early anymore. This time, Bai Shuyi ordered takeout and treated Lin Chen. Although they didn't say it, they had a tacit understanding. Lin Chen made lunch, and Bai Shuyi was responsible for dinner.

She even ordered crayfish. Life was enjoyable.

After all, she was a little rich girl.

She ordered a lot, and it was expensive.

Lin Chen could be considered to be benefiting from it.

Nothing happened that night.

When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Lin Chen looked at the calendar.

April 16th!

Twelve days until the day the game invaded reality.

He thought about the resources he had hoarded in the game, including various secondary profession materials, handcrafted equipment materials, and sets of equipment of various levels, all of which had been piled up in a hundred warehouses he opened in Tianyue City.

In addition, there were more than ninety pets, all of which were of perfect quality at the very least.

Then there was Tianyue City, and three small legions.

Tianyue Knights, Tianyue Warriors, Tianyue Mages.

Legions were a gamble. Lin Chen didn't know if these NPCs of different races would go on strike and quit on the spot after the game invaded reality, but if the recruitment hall refreshed with top-tier legions, Lin Chen would definitely recruit them.

And then, there were the NPCs.

So many resources, plus a city.

Including his own set of top-tier equipment, two epic-level pets, a mythical Vermilion Bird...

His preparations in the game were almost complete.

Next, all he had to do was let Zhang Chunlin continue to acquire resources.

Clear the new dungeon, get three sets of pet equipment, and that would be all.

Lin Chen knew how to clear this new dungeon.

Moreover, the new dungeon had a bug.

That was normal.

Any new content in any game would have some problems. Although "New World" claimed to have never had a bug in twenty years, it had a problem now that it was about to shut down.

However, Lin Chen suspected that this bug was a program forcefully embedded by the programming company's programmers, using the Star Stone to interfere with the program. The purpose was to give back to the players in the last moments!

Of course, this was just Lin Chen's guess.

After all, in Lin Chen's memory, this bug wouldn't be discovered until tomorrow.

If the planning company really wanted to give everyone a benefit, they could just announce it!

Anyway, the game was about to shut down, so why hide it?

Lin Chen didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, so he went online directly.

He looked at his friend list and saw that Liu Mengyao was online, and in a party. He applied to join. The two were a couple in the game, so the setting allowed him to join directly without waiting for approval.

After Lin Chen entered, he found two other people, both of whom were familiar.

Xiao Niao Yi Ren, Xue Mo. (Xiao Niao Yi Ren - literally "a little bird leaning on people," often used to describe a gentle and dependent woman.)

"You guys are here too?"

Lin Chen asked curiously.

Xue Mo retorted, "We're waiting for you. Isn't the new dungeon coming out today?"

"Okay, there's one more person, I'll pull him into the group."

Lin Chen nodded, then realized that Zhang Chunlin hadn't logged in. He had no choice but to temporarily log off and call him. Lin Chen knew he would definitely be awake at this time, so after the call connected, he said directly, "Log in, we're going to run the dungeon."

"Boss, you really have your mind set on the game. Didn't you look at our class group?" Zhang Chunlin actually started talking about something else.

"Didn't look... and didn't you leave the class group?"

Lin Chen said that he wasn't paying attention to anything related to the class.

It was unnecessary.

"The class group, Teacher Zhu pulled me back in. I just joined this morning, and as soon as I went in, I saw Zhou the Skinflint was calling you out in the group. He was criticizing you for taking a long leave of absence, and even said you haven't been at school for many days this semester. Then Ye Tenglong and those guys started a commotion in the group, all of them were badmouthing you!"

After Zhang Chunlin finished speaking, he said he couldn't stand it: "I spit on them! I can't stand that Ye Tenglong guy. I have to roast him a few times!"

However, Lin Chen, the person involved, said, "What's the point of roasting him? Log in quickly, don't worry about anything else. Let's clear the dungeon first!"

Lin Chen's reaction seemed to be one of giving up.

Being ridden on and not reacting, wasn't that just lying down and letting it happen?

Zhang Chunlin said he would log in immediately.

However, when Lin Chen opened the class group, he still saw a message.

[Zhang Chunlin: Yo, Young Master Ye says that as if you've been to class so many days this semester. Hehe, want to report it to the Academic Affairs Office? Go ahead! Then, we'll all get punished together. And you guys, who hasn't skipped class! At worst, I'll go to the Academic Affairs Office and self-destruct first, then blow everyone up. Should I go to the school forum again? My studio has talent for this!]

[Ye Tenglong: Zhang Chunlin, you're about to go bankrupt, right? Hehe, now you're stuck with that idiot Lin Chen and still spending money to play that broken game to take over for you. That's why you're protecting him so much? I'm telling you to be careful, if you really blow everyone up, I'll cripple you, you believe it?]

[Zhang Chunlin: Hehe, isn't it just a gangster brother, who's also a loan shark, do you really think you're so great? I'm warning you too, Ye Tenglong, stop acting in front of me. If you piss me off, I'll hire three thousand internet trolls right now, and expose your brothers' business to all the major media websites. I'll definitely make your brothers famous all over the country... no, all over the world!]

Domineering!

Zhang Chunlin, the IT guy, also had a professional studio, and he could really do these things.

These words directly shut Ye Tenglong's mouth, and he didn't dare to make any more trouble.

However, from beginning to end, Lin Chen had never cared about Ye Tenglong.

He also didn't let Zhang Chunlin protect him.

As for Lin Chen emptying Zhang Chunlin's inventory, it did help him, but Zhang Chunlin had never asked Lin Chen for a high price, and even helped Lin Chen collect items every day, only asking for a few thousand yuan to give to the studio.

But now, Zhang Chunlin had offended Ye Tenglong more than once because of Lin Chen, this time even Ye Tenglong's older brother, Tiger, the biggest local bully in Longhai!

From this point of view, Zhang Chunlin was a very loyal person.

This was a friend worth making.

As for Ye Tenglong...

Lin Chen was too lazy to care, because in his memory, Ye Tenglong was one of the first people to sell his account.

So, after the game invasion, Ye Tenglong, including his older brother Tiger, were still ordinary people.

In Lin Chen's eyes, they were not even as good as ants!

Soon, Zhang Chunlin logged in.

The five-person team headed straight for Tiangong (Heavenly Palace).
