Chapter 8

Once again logging into this strange and wondrous scene, Zhou Xian was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"I don't seem to be wearing a helmet, right?"

This sudden interface left Zhou Xian speechless. Zhou Xian tried to log in, and at that moment, a strange prompt suddenly appeared.

"Do you want to load the save file?"

"I remember that day I saw a save file, right?"

Zhou Xian casually tapped it.

The moment Zhou Xian's finger touched the virtual screen, he suddenly felt a severe ringing in his ears, and the scenery before his eyes quickly twisted into darkness, as if the entire world had been torn apart and shattered.

This feeling only stopped when a voice suddenly appeared in Zhou Xian's ear.

"Hey, Zhou Xian, were you also kicked out of the game?"

This was Li Chuyu's voice.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xian instinctively replied.

However, when Zhou Xian came to his senses, he was momentarily stunned.

This place... is the activity room of the Dragon Tomb Society?

Li Chuyu looked at Zhou Xian curiously: "Didn't the system just announce that it would update in one minute? Then I was kicked out."

Zhou Xian jumped up.

He focused his gaze on his right leg.

There was not a single wound on it, as if it had completely healed.

No, using "healed" to describe it seemed a bit inappropriate. Zhou Xian felt that his current physical condition was very good, as if he had never been in a car accident at all!

"Zhou Xian, what's wrong with you?" Li Chuyu looked at Zhou Xian curiously.

"Wait, what did you say about the system update?" Zhou Xian felt like he had heard this somewhere before.

"I was helping you look up information and preparing to log into the game when the system announced that a new version would be released, and then it started kicking people out." Li Chuyu logged into the internet with her virtual helmet and said to Zhou Xian: "There's no news on the official website, but many people on the forum are leaking information, saying that there might be a bug, so the game is undergoing temporary maintenance."

Li Chuyu browsed the internet, while Zhou Xian was still in shock.

Then, Zhou Xian took out his communication terminal.

The current time was July 4, 2034, 8:04 AM...

Zhou Xian pinched his face; this didn't seem like a dream or an illusion?

"...I remember that 'Legendary World' has never had a bug, right?" he said.

"Is that so—hey, someone said the game has been updated, and we can log in now. They said a lot of new content was added... How is that possible, it's only been five minutes!"

Li Chuyu's reaction was the same as Zhou Xian's memory.

"I'll go check the game now." Li Chuyu said and logged into the game.

Zhou Xian suddenly stood up and walked straight to the door.

"Whoosh!"

He pulled the door open.

Xu Tianyun, who was standing at the door, immediately said happily: "What a coincidence, Old Zhou. I didn't see you this morning, so I thought you were late, but you came to the activity room early!"

"Um, let me think... You want to tell me about the final exam, right?"

Zhou Xian said.

"Right!" Xu Tianyun asked: "Old Zhou, how did you guess? I was just about to tell you about the final exam. Do you know, the top three brainwave rates for this final exam have been leaked!"

"Zhang Taihuo's brainwave rate reached 9%, right?" Zhou Xian said.

"Old Zhou, did you check it before?"

Xu Tianyun was a bit surprised.

"Sort of. Old Xu, the game has been updated, go check it out. I have something to do."

After saying that, Zhou Xian ran out of the activity room and headed to a secluded toilet.

At this moment, his communication terminal rang again.

"Text message!" He immediately opened his phone.

"Zhou Xian, I'm waiting for you at the Five-Star Square outside the school. I need to discuss something with you. Tao Shan."

Sure enough, this was the text message that changed everything!

Zhou Xian didn't pay attention to the message but instead thought about how he suddenly returned to this place.

"I remember, I returned here after entering that strange 'login interface'..."

Zhou Xian had seen this interface twice.

Once, on the hospital bed before his "time travel," and the other time, in the activity room!

"Right, at that time, I heard it ask if I wanted to save the file!"

Zhou Xian finally remembered.

"Calm down, I need to stay calm..."

He focused his mind, and his entire body seemed to maintain the state of being in that world.

When Zhou Xian opened his eyes, he found himself looking at that strange "login screen" again.

"Save file?"

Sure enough!

Zhou Xian was a bit excited.

He immediately chose to save.

"Sorry, you cannot use the save function until 00:00 on July 7th."

"Can't use it?"

Zhou Xian was a bit stunned.

"Can it only be used once?"

Zhou Xian had "time-traveled" from July 7th.

After coming out of this interface, Zhou Xian took a deep breath.

But at that moment, Su Xiaoyue's haggard face suddenly appeared in Zhou Xian's mind.

"Right, Su Wenlong will have a car accident in half an hour to one hour!"

Zhou Xian suddenly thought of this.

"I must find Su Wenlong!"

Zhou Xian immediately thought of this.

He rushed down the stairs.

"Wait..."

Zhou Xian suddenly stopped.

"Where did Su Wenlong have the car accident?"

This was a serious question.

Zhou Xian took out his personal terminal and opened the navigation map.

"First, Su Wenlong was at the same hospital as me, which is here."

Zhou Xian started analyzing the information on the map.

Since it was the same hospital, and based on Su Wenlong's condition at the time, Zhou Xian narrowed down a general area. However, this area was still too large, and he couldn't guarantee he would find him.

"Second, the Middle School Cup is about to start, so he was probably heading to school or leaving school due to some event. No matter how he got there, he must have been walking, otherwise, he wouldn't have been hit by a car."

Of course, it could also be that he was riding a bicycle, but the probability was low.

"Damn, why didn't I ask more about it at the time..."

Although he had narrowed down the area, the situation was still unclear. Moreover, Zhou Xian didn't know what Su Wenlong looked like.

"Right, there's someone who knows what Su Wenlong looks like!"

Zhou Xian immediately ran to the playground, and a girl in a different school's uniform appeared before him.

"Beidou!"

Zhou Xian ran over hurriedly.

"Eh—?"

Beidou seemed a bit confused and puzzled.

"Hey, what's up, Zhou Xian?" Beidou asked with a strange expression.

"Su Wenlong, do you know what Su Wenlong looks like, right?!"

Zhou Xian didn't care that this was only their "second meeting."

"Ah, I know, what's wrong with you?"

Beidou seemed a bit bewildered by Zhou Xian.

"Hurry, we don't have time, help me identify him!"

Zhou Xian grabbed Beidou's hand and rushed out of the school with her.

"Wait, what are you talking about!"

The events that had just happened were so strange that even Zhou Xian hadn't had time to think about them. But he knew that the most important thing now was to find Su Wenlong!

"Zhou Xian, what do you need from Mr. Su?" Beidou asked curiously.

"He's in danger—forget about that, let's find him first!"

Zhou Xian turned around and saw Beidou looking across the street.

Zhou Xian thought Beidou had found the target, so he followed her gaze and saw a student in their school's uniform.

"A student from our school?"

Zhou Xian saw this person get into a luxury sports car. He seemed familiar, and Zhou Xian thought he had seen him somewhere before.

"Eh, can students drive?" Beidou seemed surprised.

"You can get a driver's license at 14, of course, you can. Don't look around, focus on finding him!"

Zhou Xian was anxious, but now only Beidou could help him, so he had to be patient.

Fortunately, although Beidou didn't know why Zhou Xian was looking for Su Wenlong, she was still helping him wholeheartedly.

"Eh—"

Suddenly, Beidou stopped again.

"That's Mr. Su."

Not far from Zhou Xian, a middle-aged man was holding a communication terminal, probably in a video call with someone.

This person had an extraordinary aura, distinctly different from others.

"Thank goodness."

Zhou Xian felt relieved, but suddenly, a hover car sped past him, heading straight for Su Wenlong!

"That car just now!"

Beidou exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, Zhou Xian's mind flashed with the scenes he had seen, and he immediately shouted: "Lu Zhong! What are you doing?!"

"Ah!"

The driver of the sports car, hearing Zhou Xian's voice, instinctively hit the brakes, but it was too late, and Su Wenlong still had a "close encounter" with the car.

"Beidou, call the police! I'll go check!"

Zhou Xian immediately shouted.

"Eh, am I calling the police again?" Beidou raised an eyebrow at Zhou Xian, but then she seemed puzzled: "Come to think of it... why did I say 'again'?"

Zhou Xian immediately ran over and found that Su Wenlong didn't seem to have any wounds, and although he looked dazed, he didn't seem to have any major problems.

"Mr. Su, are you okay?"

Zhou Xian didn't pull him up but let him lie quietly.

"Ah——————!"

At that moment, a terrified voice came from the car in front of Zhou Xian, and then Lu Zhong opened the door, panting heavily, his eyes full of bloodshot.

"Ah——————!"

He shouted again and then left the scene, possibly due to the psychological pressure.

But for Zhou Xian, he felt relieved.

"Anyway, the most important thing is done..."
