In a five-star hotel in the capital, a foreign man with gold-rimmed glasses looked anxiously at several police officers.
"Are you sure that voice was indeed Mr. Carmillon's?" the lead officer asked.
"Yes, yes! I can definitely recognize Mr. Carmillon's voice. I just don't understand why he spoke to me in Chinese this time," the foreigner replied.
"There's no doubt about it; the criminal must be Chinese. He forced Mr. Carmillon to call his assistant and falsely report that he was safe. Perhaps he was worried that Mr. Carmillon wouldn't understand, so he compelled him to use Chinese," a young officer chimed in.
"Right!"
The lead officer nodded and turned to one of his colleagues, asking, "What about the phone number? Have you traced it?"
"We found it. The account holder is Li Hong, 31 years old, a signed author. The motive has also surfaced; this man’s new book is extremely poorly received, so he might have been unable to cope with such a blow and decided to kidnap Mr. Carmillon."
The lead officer nodded seriously and said, "Given the significant impact of this case, you all need to investigate the suspect's residence immediately. Remember not to act recklessly..."
Before he could finish, Mr. Carmillon's assistant's phone rang again.
The foreigner glanced at it and exclaimed in despair, "It's... it's that same number again!"
The lead officer frowned and said, "The criminal calling now is likely trying to extort ransom; you need to keep him calm."
The foreigner nodded and answered the call.
"I am Mr. Carmillon; you need to transfer money to this account... How much was it again?"
A young man's angry voice came through the line: "Are you senile? It's nine thousand!"
"Carmillon," he said, "oh right, it's nine thousand. Hurry up."
The assistant cautiously replied, "Don't worry, sir. I'll go right away."
With that, the call was abruptly ended by Carmillon.
In the room, several people turned to the man in charge.
He rubbed his temples and asked incredulously, "What’s going on? Is the ransom really this low?"
Another person spoke up, "Could it be that the kidnappers didn't express themselves clearly? Maybe they meant ninety million, but Mr. Carmillon's Chinese isn't very fluent, and he understood it as nine thousand?"
"That's possible, and the truth of the matter might just be that," the leader nodded in agreement with this perspective.
He then turned to Carmillon's assistant and instructed, "Quickly transfer the account number given by Mr. Carmillon. We need to keep the suspect calm; we will rescue Mr. Carmillon as soon as possible."
The assistant looked distraught and asked with a pained expression, "How much should I transfer?"
"Ninety million! If you really send over nine thousand, the kidnappers will definitely become suspicious and doubt your sincerity. That would put Mr. Carmillon in danger."
"Okay, okay, I'll go make the transfer right now." With that, the assistant hurried out of the room.
...
Using his discarded second-hand phone with a SIM card inserted, Carmillon made a call.
Li Hong felt quite pleased!
His original phone was a Model 9, but it was just a second-hand item he had bought online for a little over a thousand. Now, he had directly pocketed nine thousand.
Nine thousand! That could buy the latest Kidney Fruit device.
Li Hong patted Carmillon on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile, "No worries, Old Car, from now on we are friends!"
"Friends?" Carmillon felt confused; why did breaking a phone make them friends?
"Alright, let's go complete the mission first. After it's done, I'll treat you to Great Sword." Li Hong was more than happy to befriend someone as generous as Carmillon.
Seeing Carmillon hesitating, Li Hong chuckled, "Don't worry, you're an international friend; you're definitely top-tier!"
With that, Li Hong clicked on the link sent by 404.
In an instant, their figures dissolved and disappeared from the rented room.
At that moment, the phone left on the coffee table in the living room suddenly lit up.
"[China Does Not Scam Banks] Your account ending in 697 has completed a transfer of Renminbi 9,000,000,000 on September 15 at 10:00. Remaining balance: Renminbi 9,001,076,677."
"Did the money transfer?" The leading man looked nervously at his assistant.
The assistant nodded and pulled out a receipt. "It transferred—nine million without a penny less."
"That's good. Inform the surveillance team to closely monitor that rental property. If the target appears, apprehend them immediately."
"Understood!"
Li Hong blinked and found himself in a room filled with ancient charm.
Beside him stood Carmillon, looking dazed, holding the emblem of elite status—the Reincarnation Watch.
"Motor Lola, are you here?"
Since he had physically landed, Li Hong was cautious and called out for Motor Lola.
"I'm here, Boss. What can I do for you?"
"Can I use the Query player privileges now?" Although he knew it was unlikely, Li Hong still wanted to ask.
Last time, having the Query player function made completing the mission incredibly easy. Without it, he wouldn't even know where to start.
"Sorry, Boss, that privilege is currently disabled and cannot be used. However, if there are any anomalies within a hundred miles of your location, I can still alert you."
"A hundred miles? That's hardly useful."
What is Fantasy World? It's a continent spanning trillions of light-years. In such a vast place, a hundred-mile detection is indeed barely helpful.
"Li, where exactly have we arrived?" Carmillon still seemed confused about the situation.
Why had they suddenly arrived in this place from their rented room?
Hearing Carmillon's question, Li Hong rubbed his forehead, almost forgetting that he was dragging this burden along.
"Listen, Carmillon, we are no longer on Earth. We are now in another world. It's similar to the world in Breaking Through the Sky. Do you understand what I mean?"
Carmillon pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, even though I really want to understand the principle behind this, let's set that aside for now. So, why are we here?"
Li Hong recalled the mission issued by 404 and explained with a wry smile, "There is an important person here who needs our help. What we need to do is find this person and assist him."
"Orc, then let's go," Carmillon said as he boldly pushed open the door.
As soon as the door swung open, they found themselves in a vast square where a group of youths stood in a circle around a massive stone pillar.
"Punch, Fighting Power level three."
A middle-aged man on the stands spoke coldly.
"Wait a minute, why is it this?" Li Hong thought to himself; he was well aware of what he had written in Breaking Through the Sky.
The scene before him was clearly a plot point from Breaking Through the Sky. Although he didn't know why the punch power had turned into Fighting Power, everything else remained unchanged!
"Boss, you guessed correctly; this is Shattering the Sky World. And the punch is your target mission this time. He is a VIP0 player in the Main God Game and needs your help."
"Are you kidding? He's the main character! Why would he need help?" As a protagonist, shouldn't he be able to defeat gods and demons effortlessly? Why would he still require assistance?
"To put it simply, this world has undergone some irreversible changes. Pu is no longer a player with various cheats; he has grasped the true essence of spending money, so now he is a Whale."
"But what does that matter? Whales can still dominate the world, can't they?"
"Uh, it seems there was a programming accident, and a large number of cheats flooded into this world, so his gaming experience isn't very good."
At that moment, another girl stepped up to test.
"Mei, Dueling Sect Nine Stars."
Li Hong: "..."
The gaming experience is truly terrible!
Has some irreversible change really occurred? With this level of difficulty, it seems normal that a Whale can't win!
