Xia Chi shook his head, lowering his voice and saying mysteriously, “No, but I know the reason. Your forbidden love affair with the merman has spread in the institute, and now everyone sees you as a pervert.”
After saying that, Xia Chi snorted, “A bunch of narrow-minded NPCs. They call you a pervert, but I’ve seen even more perverted things. Brother, don’t let it bother you.”
‘Isn’t it just a merfolk.
In Brother’s rich and colorful love history, this is already normal.
You uncultured people, look at him, he’s as steady as an old dog.’
Bai Lixin twitched at the corner of his mouth, “Thank you.”
‘No matter how perverted I am, I’m not as perverted as you, okay?
I haven’t dated a system.’
A flash of inspiration: “…”
Xia Chi: “Let me introduce you. Both of them are players.”
“He’s called Song Yun,” Xia Chi pointed at Glasses and then at the man in the suit, “He’s Lin Xiao.”
“This is my brother, the most powerful figure in the game lobby, Bai Lixin. You must have heard this name, right?”
Glasses, who had been secretly observing Bai Lixin, suddenly froze, “Bai Lixin?! You’re the Bai Lixin who played havoc with the Shentian Guild in the Nation Wide Battle Event!”
Xia Chi lifted his chin proudly his nose almost reaching the sky, “Could it be that you’ve heard of a second Bai Lixin?”
The eyes behind the thick lenses widened, “Damn, this time I actually get to see the real person.”
Xia Chi was about to continue bragging when Glasses’s next words instantly brought him back to reality, “But, I heard Bai Lixin’s luck is only F-, and the copies he enters are all Bai Lixin level. Help, so is this copy also… Although I really wanted to see you, I want to see you in the game lobby, not inside a copy.”
Xia Chi: “…”
Bai Lixin: “Uh, what’s Bai Lixin level?”
Glasses: “Don’t you read the forums? Now everyone has divided the copies into several levels. The six official divisions are Trial, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, Difficult, and Hell mode. Then players added another level above that – Bai Lixin level. It’s a level beyond the six official ones.”
“There’s a saying, ‘I’d rather face a Hell-level copy than encounter God Xin in a copy.”
Xia Chi: “…”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Is there such a thing?!’
The Escape System thoroughly confirmed this matter. [Yes, it’s true, Master Bai Lixin. I’ve seen such posts on the forums before.]

In the live broadcast room
[God Xin never expected to create a completely new difficulty measurement unit.]
[Haha, God Xin also meets unexpected things. It’s so amusing.]
[Although God Xin always manages to turn danger into safety, going through a copy with him is too thrilling, easily leading to heart problems. So, everyone is really conflicted—they want to see God Xin but also don’t want to encounter him in a copy.]
[No, I just want to see God Xin in the live broadcast, I’ll pass on the copy.]
[What kind of fake fan are you? This is Yegong Haolong, you know?]
*Yegong Haolong is a Chinese idiom meaning that someone loves a certain thing outwardly, but not sincerely.
[God Xin probably hasn’t considered that a new standard for luck has emerged among players. Meeting God Xin in a copy is definitely not a good sign for luck.]
[God Xin, are you polite?]
[Ahem, ahem, God Xin, we all love you. It’s just that we don’t want to meet you in a copy, okay~]

There weren’t many people in the restaurant, and there was a clear line in the middle.
The logistics staff and experimental personnel sat on either side, distinctly separated.
In theory, Bai Lixin should be on the logistics staff’s side, but he didn’t care.
No one was chasing him away.
While eating, he discreetly surveyed the surroundings. At this moment, a private chat message came to his mind. He looked at Xia Chi with confusion, and Xia Chi gestured and winked at him.
Bai Lixin opened the private chat window.
Xia Chi: [Brother, do you have time this afternoon?]
Bai Lixin: [I’m planning to clean the data room and look for clues.]
Xia Chi: [Dr. Camila sent someone to the bottom of the sea this morning.]
Bai Lixin’s interest was piqued. [And then?]
Xia Chi: [I overheard it. They went to retrieve the submarine that’s been parked there. However, they didn’t find it. Of course, I knew they wouldn’t because the submarine is with you. So, I wasn’t very surprised.]
Bai Lixin: [What did Dr. Camila say when he learned about it?]
Xia Chi: [He said the submarine wouldn’t disappear for no reason. There’s likely an intelligent life form in the ocean that commandeered the submarine. Then he suddenly got excited, saying that the one driving the submarine could very well be a merfolk. He also said they must find that submarine.]
[Oh, by the way, the submarine has a locator. However, because they had to escape in a hurry last time, they didn’t have time to activate the locator. If you drive the submarine next time, be careful not to be discovered.]
Bai Lixin’s eyes flickered slightly. [Alright, I understand. Thank you for telling me this.]
Xia Chi: [Heh, it’s what I should do. If I get news from Dr. Camila’s side, I’ll tell you immediately.]
“Hello.” A deep and polite voice interrupted their private chat.
Bai Lixin followed the voice and saw the unsmiling man in the suit extending a hand. “I’m Lin Xiao, nice to meet you. I’ve watched your livestream. Just now, I was worried I got it wrong, but after hearing Xia Chi introduce you, I’m sure I didn’t.”
Bai Lixin shook hands with him, and as soon as their hands touched, Bai Lixin was immediately chilled by the other person’s much lower temperature.
Lin Xiao withdrew his hand quickly after the handshake, smiling awkwardly. “Sorry if I scared you. My body temperature is much lower than normal, I have a cold constitution. I’ve been sickly since childhood, and always had to take medicine.”
“I persisted until adulthood and finally received a terminal illness notice.”
“I didn’t want to die, maybe this determination made the system lock onto me and brought me here.”
“After coming to the game, my body wasn’t in good shape at first. Fortunately, later, I got points and cured my illnesses. It’s just that my body temperature still remains lower than normal.”
“You don’t mind, right?”
Bai Lixin looked Lin Xiao up and down. The young man seemed to be around thirty years old, somewhat similar to Zhou Guang but more mature.
With well-defined features, meticulously combed hair, even in the copy, his clothes had no wrinkles.
The dishes and chopsticks in front of him were neatly arranged, and the food in the tray was clearly delineated in a narrow area.
This player seems to have some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
