Full-time sword repair

"Notice! The game will shut down the server after the last hour, and all players will be forced to log off. This notice will also be the last one in the "Eight Wastelands" system. All cultivation will be reported after the game shuts down. I am very happy to have come this far with you all. Game integration is about to begin. The road ahead needs to be explored by yourselves. Fellow Taoists, please take care of yourselves!"

"Notice! The game will shut down the server in the last hour, all players..."

A series of identical notices rang in Lin Ji Chen's ears, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Originally, there was going to be a large secret realm released before the game was shut down, but now it’s gone.

"The time has moved forward again, and even the last secret realm is gone..."

Lin Ji Chen muttered to himself.

Although I have long been prepared to face the new world, this time is shortened by two thirds compared to the time I experienced in my previous life!

This game was supposed to be shut down five years ago, but it was shut down almost half of the time earlier than expected. This time, even the secret realms that were supposed to exist are gone.

In other words, other players cannot enjoy the final secret realm benefits, which is undoubtedly a heavy loss for low-level players.

After all, the last secret realm is mainly for improving the cultivation and experience of low-level players. Most of the monsters in it are of low realms, so they can be used to level up easily, and the treasures dropped are also suitable for low-level players.

Now that it’s gone, it’s tantamount to making things worse for these low-level players.

But Lin Ji Chen changed his mind and realized that the players on Blue Star in the previous life had no idea about world fusion, and most of the humans on Blue Star had never played this game.

In this life, because of Lin Jichen's revelations, players all over the world rushed into the game, desperately fighting monsters and practicing to improve themselves.

From this point of view, the overall strength of the Blue Star players in this life is obviously much greater than that in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Lin Ji Chen felt relieved. Since it could not be changed in advance, he had to face it calmly.

"Xiao Linzi! Did you hear that? The game is going to be shut down!"

Ren Lan, who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the mountain, rushed forward in a panic, his words full of anxiety and worry about the upcoming server closure.

Not only him, but all the players on Blue Star fell into panic as soon as the news came out.

Although we knew the server would be shut down a long time ago, when the day finally came, everyone was still worried and unsure how to face the world ahead.

Lin Jichen nodded and replied: "I understand, it's okay, this day will come sooner or later."

"Will the two worlds...really merge..." Ren Lan still held on to the last glimmer of hope.

In fact, there are many people who have the same lucky mentality as her.

Lin Jichen patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of everything. Let's go back and hand in the task first. Get the Heart Sutra and learn it quickly, then log off."

"Yeah." Ren Lan was finally no longer afraid. With Xiao Linzi by her side, she had nothing to fear.

"Mr. Lin, what did you just say?"

Listening to the two people chatting, Huangfu Yi, who didn't understand what was going on, asked in confusion.

"It's okay, let's hurry back to Wuji City." Lin Jichen said.

"My child is in Wuji City?"

Huangfu Yi felt as if he had been deceived and even wanted to turn back.

Lin Ji Chen didn't have time to waste on him, and said in a cold voice: "Don't think we really called you out because we were full and had nothing to do. We don't have time to waste on you. If you keep whining, I will make sure your children will never see you again!"

Huangfu Yi's face flushed red, and he pointed at Lin Jichen and said, "You...you...you...you are a cultivator from a righteous sect, how could you be so despicable as to threaten my child's life!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I can be even more despicable. In one word, go or not go!"

"Oh my god! Don't hurt my child."

"Oh, now you have awakened your father's love, what were you doing before? Hurry and leave."

After Lin Ji Chen finished speaking, he pulled Huangfu Yi up, flew into the air on his sword, and disappeared outside Putuo Temple in the blink of an eye.

He and Ren Lan took Huangfu Yi and rushed back to Wuji City as quickly as possible.

Huangfu Song welcomed them with the highest standard and expressed his intention to host a banquet for the two of them, but Lin Jichen didn't have time to waste. After politely declining, he accepted the Burning Lotus Heart Sutra given by Huangfu Song, then turned around and hurriedly logged off.

He originally wanted to go back to the Sword Sect to take a look, but the distance was too far and the time was simply not enough, so he had to give up for the time being and wait until after the fusion before returning to the Sword Sect.

At the same time, nearly 10 billion Blue Star players were basically all offline, filled with various emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, fear, and uneasiness.

People hide in their homes, and only when they see the large amounts of food and water stored in their homes do they feel a little more at ease.

As early as the news of World Fusion was exposed, people began to stock up.

Although they have material support for life, mentally, everyone is still extremely sensitive. This fear of the unknown is innate.

The Internet is also filled with people's anxiety.

"I'm so scared. Didn't they say the game would be shut down in half a month? How come it's shutting down so early?"

"I still don't want to believe that the game world will come into reality. This is too ridiculous. I am a staunch materialist!"

"Can you please stop joking? The various monsters and demons that have appeared on our Blue Planet over the past few months are not enough to prove this, right?"

"The official has said that the game world will come, but don't be afraid, we will also inherit the strength in the game."

"Woo woo woo, I just started playing Eight Desolations recently. Before, I didn't believe in evil and was busy speculating in stocks and buying land to make money, hoping to become a rich man overnight. Now I realize how stupid I was."

"Our family has only been playing for the past month. My brother's highest realm is only the Golden Core Stage. I want to ask, can a Golden Core Stage person survive?"

"Damn it! My girlfriend cheated me out of all my game assets and equipment. Now I have nothing left. Damn it!! Don't mess with flowers or grass, don't mess with love, don't be tempted by anything."

"Hehe, luckily our family had foresight and started playing as soon as the official announcement came out. Currently, the average realm of our family is the Nascent Soul Realm. As long as we don't cause trouble or take risks everywhere, living will be easy~"

...

In Sunshine Community, Lin Jichen’s home has already been crowded with people.

In addition to Lin Jichen's small group, there were also everyone's relatives and friends, as well as officials at all levels in Jiangling City who came to inquire and confirm out of concern.

Everyone wanted to hear accurate news from Lin Jichen. It would be more accurate to say it was comfort rather than news.

Compared to them, Gu Qiuxue and the others seemed much calmer.

With Lin Ji Chen around, and with their own strength now at the ceiling level among the players, they naturally feel much more at ease with both strength and a backer.

As the saying goes, fear comes from insufficient firepower. If there is enough firepower, there will be no fear.

However, it was different for the others. They were all worried about what would happen next and went to find Lin Ji Chen one after another, hoping to find peace of mind.
