"You wouldn't happen to be... a reincarnated person, would you?"

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Tianba was shaken to his core.

He froze on the spot, like a statue.

Even Li Wen and Guo Tiantian, who were standing to the side, were stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhao Tianba.

Zhuge Mo pushed up his glasses, his eyes narrowing slightly behind the lenses.

"I......"

Zhao Tianba's Adam's apple bobbed laboriously, and he let out two dry laughs:

"Brother Lin, you must be joking... If I were a reincarnated person, would I be in such a miserable state? If I had the ability to predict the future, would my Apocalypse Tank have been burned down?"

Zhao Tianba raised his head, still wanting to argue his way out of things.

But next second.

An invisible mental pressure enveloped his entire body.

Om-!

That's a whopping 950 points of mental power!

In Zhao Tianba's view, Lin Hui was no longer an ordinary player, but a giant beast lurking in the shadows, slowly opening its eyes.

"You're sweating."

Lin Hui's voice remained calm.

"Don't be nervous, Chairman Zhao."

He stepped forward and gently patted Zhao Tianba's shoulder. This gesture made Zhao Tianba tremble, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

"Even if you are a reincarnated person, so what? I won't kill you for that. There are even gods in this game, so reincarnation isn't anything out of the ordinary."

"but……"

I don't like being lied to.

boom!

As the last sentence fell, Zhao Tianba felt his mental defenses completely collapse.

They couldn't withstand Lin Hui's powerful mental pressure!

Only then did Zhao Tianba truly realize that the gap between himself and Lin Hui was no longer something that could be bridged by his "rebirth" and his precognition.

He gave up resisting, and his whole body hunched over instantly.

"well……"

Zhao Tianba sighed heavily and said with a wry smile, "Brother Lin has keen insight... Yes, I am indeed a... reborn person."

These words were spoken.

There was dead silence all around.

Li Wen stared wide-eyed at his president in disbelief: "President, you...you really are?"

No wonder!

No wonder the president knows so much secret information!

Zhao Tianba ignored the gazes of those around him; he simply looked at Lin Hui cautiously.

Lin Hui said calmly, "Speak. Tell me everything you know. You should know what I want to hear, right?"

Zhao Tianba took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Now that he had laid his cards on the table, he was no longer so afraid.

"Actually... my rebirth doesn't mean... going directly back to ten years ago, but rather to the same timeline."

Zhao Tianba organized his thoughts and slowly said:

"I stumbled upon an epic-level extraordinary item called [Echoes of the Dead]."

"Its special feature is that after I died, it allowed me to return to the time when the first dungeon opened, with my memories intact, and I ended up with the account of that unlucky guy 'Zhao Tianba'."

At this point, a look of pain appeared on Zhao Tianba's face:

"That's a one-time use item. If I lose my life now, it's really over."

Lin Hui nodded, signaling him to continue.

Zhao Tianba sighed and said bitterly, "I've discovered that this main quest, 'Journey to Fu City,' is somewhat different from what I remember."

"How is it different?" Zhuge Mo couldn't help but interject.

"Difficulty level! And the number of participants!"

Zhao Tian said domineeringly, "When I first entered the game, there were only 100,000 players. And..."

He glanced at the ravaged city of Fucheng. "The last 'Fucheng Trip' mission wasn't nearly this insane! There wasn't a horde of billions of zombies, and there wasn't that superhuman divine kin descending like the Pale Clan!"

"In my previous life, it was also difficult, but it was just the normal mode. But this time..."

Zhao Tianba looked at Lin Hui with a complicated expression, "This time it's practically hell mode."

"I couldn't understand why until... I saw you, Brother Lin."

Zhao Tianba swallowed hard and offered his speculation: "The difficulty of the system's main quests is generally matched to the overall strength of the players in the area. Especially when an 'exceptional' level player appears in the area, the difficulty increases exponentially."

The implication is quite clear...

Blame me?

Lin Hui touched his nose.

So it turns out that because I was cheating too much, the system, in order to maintain balance, maxed out the difficulty of all the main quests, and incidentally dragged other players down with me?

That's very much in line with the nature of this dog game.

"Continue," Lin Hui said, not dwelling on the question. "Let's talk about the second map."

That's what he cares about most.

"I died young in my previous life, so I don't know much..." Zhao Tianba said somewhat awkwardly.

"Tell me as much as you can."

"Alright." Zhao Tianba took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn. "That is a land shrouded in eternal mist."

"That fog is not simple; the visibility is extremely low, and even the reconnaissance radar of vehicles will be greatly reduced there."

"..."

For the next hour.

Zhao Tianba poured out all the information he had about the "Land of Mist" from his mind, like spilling beans.

Lin Hui listened quietly.

To gain a preliminary understanding of the situation in the entire Misty Lands.

Zhao Tianba is a very shrewd man; he must be holding something back.

Lin Hui looked at Zhao Tianba, his eyes deep: "I hope you're not lying to me, especially about the characteristics of the monsters. Otherwise... no matter how vast the Misty Land is, I will find you."

"No, no!"

Zhao Tianba waved his hands repeatedly, cold sweat breaking out on his back again. "Brother Lin, I sincerely want to be your friend! Let's add each other as friends..."

Lin Hui did not refuse and gave his game ID to Zhao Tianba.

After all, keeping this reborn person alive is like keeping a living strategy guide; even if it's only half a guide, it's still valuable.

After adding each other as friends.

Lin Hui suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "President Zhao, do you know a place called 'Misty Town' in the Zombie Wasteland?"

Upon hearing this place name...

Zhao Tianba's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Brother Lin, you know about Misty Town too?"

He hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Actually... I've noticed that this zombie wasteland is somewhat different from what I remember. There are many areas that weren't there before."

"For example, the misty town you mentioned. When my subordinates reported to me before, I specifically went to take a look outside the town..."

Zhao Tianba swallowed hard. "In my memory, there's a place called 'Mist Town' in the Misty Lands, and it's an extremely dangerous place!"

"I suspect that this Misty Town is the same Misty Town in the Misty Lands! Spatially speaking, it's like the two maps have overlapped..."

"coincide?"

Li Xian, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject, "Doesn't that mean once we get there, we can skip the mission and just sneak into the second map?"

Zhao Tianba glanced at Li Wen and shook his head:

"How could this game have such a bug? Besides, are the monsters in the second map even capable of handling current players? Going in is just suicide!"

Hearing this, Lin Hui felt a chill run down his spine.

Perhaps Zhao Tianba's explanation is correct.

Coincidence point.

This explains why Bai Ling obtained a Tier 2 Medical Specialization blueprint there, and also explains why Hui from the Dark Forest suddenly disappeared.

The Dark Forest may be located on other maps.

Lin Hui looked up. "Do you know the exact location of the Misty Town in that Misty Land?"

Zhao Tianba was startled: "Brother Lin, you want to go? I heard it's very dangerous there. A powerful player I knew went in and never came out again."

"You don't need to worry about that," Lin Hui said calmly. "Just give me a seat."

Zhao Tianba dared not disobey. He found paper and pen, and drew a simple map from memory, marking the approximate location and reference points. He then handed it to Lin Hui with both hands.
