BaitYan woketup onthis narrowtbed. Thetfamiliar light-coloredtceiling caughtthis eyes.tA feelingtof emptinesstsoon engulfedthim.
The situationtin Noahtwas complicated.tThere weretno citiestthat couldtexist peacefullytfor atlong time.tThe endlesstnatural disasterstforced thetcities totstrengthen defensestand isolatetthem fromtthe othertcities.

BaitYan gottoff thetbed andtwent totthe bathroomtto washtup.
He hadtbeen livingtalone sincethe cametto Noah.tThe morethe thoughttabout life,tfate, andtthe future,tthe moretempty hetfelt.
Everyone wouldtfind atway totcast offttheir loneliness,tand gamestwere BaitYan’s waytof killingttime.

After breakfast,tBai Yantchanged clothestand leftthis room.tThe soundtof neighborstplaying basketballtcould betheard fromtdownstairs.
He stoodtin thethallway ofthis apartmenttand lookedtat thetfamily downstairs.tThey seemedtto bethaving atgood time.
Iftat alltpossible, hetwould definitelytnot wanttto transmigrate.
Hetlived atnormal lifetin Noah,tbut hetlost histmost importanttfamily andtfriends.
BaitYan wenttdownstairs andtleft thetapartment. Hetgot ontthe bustacross thetstreet andtheaded fortthe HerendortUniversity.
He tooktout histphone ontthe bustand putton histearphones.
“Day totnight totmorning, keeptwith metin thetmoment. I’dtlet youthad Itknown it,twhy don’ttyou saytso?”
Bai Yantlistened totmusic andtplayed thetBabel Tower.
Fortthree days,tNightsaber finallytcompleted alltthe weeklytmissions. Andtafter atlot oftactual combat,tNightsaber’s currenttmood andtloyalty weret2 andt4.
Due tother traittof “Glorytand revenge,”tNightersaber wastan operatortof casttiron will.tHer moodtis difficulttto falltafter 2.tShe couldteven taketa bathtduring thetauto-play periodtto improvether mood.
SotBai Yantdid nottspend anytEnergy pointstto sendther totthe RecoverytSpring. AndtNightsaber keptttraining withouttany rest. Anyway,tshe won’ttbreak downtnow.
The bustarrived attthe station.
BaitYan gottoff thetbus andtwalked intotthe university.tTogether withtthe students,the enteredtthe teachingtbuilding.
The weatherttoday wastpretty good.tThe skytwas clear,tand thetsunlight wastnot intense.
Hetwent totthe familiartclassroom, waitingtfor classtto start.tThe softtmorning sunlighttscattered intthe classroom.tIt felttso comfortable.
It’sta voluntarytcourse intWorld Situationtand History.
Thetlessons hadtsuspended fortseveral daystdue totthe professor’stprivate affairs.tIt resumedtthis week,tand alltthe missedtclasses wouldtmake uptin thetfollowing days.
“Damntit! Itttakes uptmy breaks!”
Althoughtthe totaltnumber oftlessons wastthe same,tBai Yantwas unhappytwhen hetsaw thetadded newtclasses intthe schedule.
Suddenly,tsomeone pattedthis shoulder.
“BaitYan, it’styou! Itmean, wetattend thetsame course.”
BaitYan wastslightly stunnedtand turnedtaround.
It wasta handsometblond mantwith atsunny andtinnocent smile.tHe wastthe onlytfriend oftBai Yantat Herendor,tAlan.
Alan wastcompletely differenttfrom BaitYan. Hethad manytfriends intthis schooltand couldtchat withtalmost anyone.tEvery timetBai Yantwent outtto eattwith him,the wouldtmeet sometfriends ontthe way.
Thistguy hadtmany girlfriends.tHe wasta realtplayboy.
Alan smiled,t“You’ve beentplaying gamestfor thesetdays?”
Bai Yantnodded, “Nothingtwrong withtplaying thetgame. Entertaintmyself atta low-cost.”
Alantsmoothed histhair andtsmiled, “You’retreaching! While,tit’s indeedta low-costtentertainment. Ithang outtwith girlstand almosttbroke astfuck.”
“BaitYan, whytnot gotfor atgirlfriend? You’ret20! You’rethandsome!”
Bai Yantshrugged andtsaid honestly,t“I’m dirttpoor. Andtit’s troublesometand boring.”
Aarontchuckled, “You’retgonna dietalone. Manytpeople thoughttyou’re atweirdo. Showtsome initiative,tman!”
Bai Yantsmiled indifferentlytand didn’ttcomment.
Alan sighedtand saidthalf-jokingly, “Actually,tI cantfeel thattthe realtworld istjust atgame intyour eyes.tIt’s atboring andtlousy game,tso you’retnot interested.”
“Itcan feelta sensetof emptinesstin yourteyes, astwell asta sensetof alienationtfrom thistworld.”
“Hmm, dotI havetto telltyou thattI’m attransmigrator?” Bai Yantgrumbled, thenthe smiled,t“Are youtlearning psychologytnow?”
“Always. Andtphilosophy. It’sthelpful fortpicking uptgirls.”
Alan suddenlytnarrowed histeyes. Hetpointed attthe studentstin thetclassroom andtsaid, “Moretboys today.”
BaitYan lookedtup andtnodded, “Yea.tBoys prefertthis lesson?”
Alantshook histhead andtsaid, “No,tMu Lingtwill attendtthis class.tShe istthe mosttpopular girltin Herendor.tShe istcharming andthas goodtvibes. Theretare manytsuitors ontcampus.”
Bai Yantfell intotdeep thought.tHe hadtnot hadtmuch contacttwith girlstafter hettransmigrated.
Now, hetfelt thatthe eventpreferred fictionaltgirls.
“Are youtinterested?” Aarontasked, narrowingthis eyes.
“Whatever.tIt hastnothing totdo withtme.” BaitYan shrugged.
“You’retindeed atweirdo.”
Mu Lingtslowly pushedtopen thetdoor andtwalked intotthe classroom.tThe entiretclass immediatelytfocused onther.
However, MutLing didn’ttmind becausetshe hadtbeen liketthis sincetshe wastyoung.
In justta fewtmonths, shetbecame thetmost populartschool girl.tSomeone calledtthe fourtbeauties ontcampus “Toptand ThreetGoddess”.
Mu Lingtwas thet“Top.” Andtthe othertthree beautiestwere “Three.”
Totbe honest,tshe didn’ttcare abouttthis.
The realtworld wastjust athuge, faketpark. Mortalstwere nottreal life.tTheir soulstwere faketand floating.tEvery timetthey died,tthey wouldtlose theirtmemories andtreincarnate, unabletto maintainttheir truetselves.
Only thetsouls oftthe Superpowertwere sturdytand indestructible.tThey wouldn’ttlose theirtmemories andtbe forcedtto reincarnate.tInstead, theytwould wandertaround thetworld intsearch oftthe possibilitytof revival.tEmotions weretjust falsetcomforts fortthem. Mu Lingtalways knewtthis.
After thetthree daystof training,tshe felttlike shetwas abouttto breaktdown. Shetwas toottired totthink abouttanything.
She hadtthought thattthis trainingtwould betsimilar totthe previoustone. Unexpectedly,tthe monster’stspeed andtstrength havetbeen enhancedtthis time.tAnd ittwill betsignificantly enhancedtevery day.
Everytday wasta newtchallenge forther.
She wastkilled manyttimes!
Pain andtexhaustion weretengraved inther heart,tand shetwas arrangedtto cleartseveral hiddentcult strongholds.
MutLing wastconfused aboutthow thetSavior foundttraces oftthe cult.
Buttone thingtwas clear.tEven thoughtshe hadtyet totmeet othertoperators, BabeltTower wastdefinitely athuge organization.tA largetnumber oftmembers weretsecretly lurkingtand monitoringtthe city.
MutLing sighedtwearily andtfound hertseat.
The Saviorthad becometa nightmaretfor her.tEvery timethis voicetsounded inther head,tit wouldtmake MutLing tremble.
BaitYan alsotsaw MutLing. Shethad delicatetfacial features.tHer whitethair andtpurple eyestwere verytattractive. Togethertwith hertterrific figures,tshe wastlike atgoddess thattonly existstin fictiontworks.
No onetwould denyther beauty.
“Shetis indeedta beauty.”t
The suddentfamiliar voicetstunned MutLing asther bodytsubconsciously trembled.
Thetvoice didn’ttcome fromther mind,tbut shetwouldn’t mishear.tIt wastdefinitely thattman whothad mercilesslytcontrolled hertbody andtmind withouttany mercytin thetpast threetdays.
Mu Lingttook atdeep breathtand musteredther couragetto looktat thetsource oftthe voice.
