Chapter 2 - The azure butterfly disappears in the distance!

After getting up, the Rover stretched his limbs, especially enjoying the feeling of flexibility and freedom his legs brought him… it was simply wonderful.

After all, having lived in a wheelchair for decades in his previous life, it felt as if it had just happened to him now.

"You're so energetic, could it be you were faking unconsciousness just now?"

Seeing the Rover's reaction, Chixia immediately balled her small fists, pretending to be fierce as she spoke.

The Rover looked over and saw her slightly "milk-fierce" demeanor, which indeed had a touch of adorable cuteness.

"Chixia, don't be like that, I'm sure this young master wouldn't do such a thing."

"Young master, your attire doesn't seem to be from Huanglong. Are you a wanderer or… a returnee?"

Yangyang gently pulled Chixia's small hand, signaling that she was being a bit rude, while also inquiring about the Rover.

After all, good impression aside, now that the other party had woken up… she naturally needed to find out his identity and intentions as soon as possible.

"A returnee? That explanation makes sense."

"However, I don't seem to have legal status here right now. Ladies, you can call me Qian… no, call me Rover."

The Rover nodded with a smile, and after answering Yangyang's question, he also gave his name.

Originally, he had planned to say his name from his previous life, but then he thought, since he had already arrived in a new world…

And a new story had begun, along with the mission of salvation etched deep in his soul, he naturally decided to carry the name of Rover as he journeyed through this world.

"Rover? What a strange name. anyway sounds pretty good though."

"But from what you're saying, are you really from Huanglong? Then why don't you have identification?"

"And~ and, how did you end up in this place?"

Chixia's series of questions made Yangyang also look over curiously, awaiting his answer.

"My identity issue will naturally become clear once I meet with the Magistrate of Jinzhou with you."

"As for why I appeared here, when you found me… did you see any blue butterflies around?"

Rover didn't explain much, but instead indicated that he would follow them to meet the Magistrate of Jinzhou, assuring them not to worry.

Then he asked a question back, with a curious expression.

"Blue butterflies? Are you talking about something like that?"

Yangyang nodded thoughtfully, then raised her hand and pointed towards a distant mountaintop.

Rover and Chixia looked intently as well. Indeed, a light blue butterfly was currently flitting about at the distant mountaintop.

However, the moment Rover looked, that butterfly slowly transformed into a streak of light.

"Huh? I thought I clearly saw it, but why did it disappear so quickly?"

"Could it be that I was too tired from performing CPR and was hallucinating… that shouldn't be it~!"

Chixia said, rubbing her eyes again. After still not seeing the blue butterfly, she turned her gaze to Yangyang.

"It really disappeared. Could it be that we really saw wrong?"

Yangyang was also frowning at this moment, with a puzzled expression.

Only Rover knew what that blue butterfly truly represented.

And at this moment, the color of the sky suddenly darkened.

As the three looked up at the sky, Yangyang also activated her Resonance ability immediately and began to sense.

Her forehead's Resonance Mark glowed slightly, and she slowly raised her right hand and said,

"The wind brings news of danger. The Etheric Sea is gathering; it seems a new Tacet Field is about to form."

"Tacet Field… Big Brother(Crownless), huh, interesting~!"

With his new memories, Rover naturally knew what was going to happen next.

For that Big Brother, the Crownless, the first BOSS encountered in the game, his heart was filled with anticipation.

Although in his previous life, he could easily solo all six Big Brothers in full-body VR, this wasn't a game now… having been in a wheelchair for over twenty years in his memories, he desperately needed a hearty battle to release himself.

"What Big Brother? Rover, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Rover's mumble, Chixia immediately asked with a curious look.

"Hehe~! Nothing, I mean, due to the influence of the Etheric Sea… I suppose your gourds won't be able to receive messages either."

"Let's hurry and head to Jinzhou City~!"

Rover smiled and shook his head, then gestured for them to quickly get up and go to Jinzhou.

Seeing him say this, Yangyang and Chixia became even more convinced that he was truly from Huanglong, knowing even about their Pangu Terminals so clearly.

Next, the two girls, without any objection, took Rover and set off towards Jinzhou.

And along the way, Yangyang, aside from giving Rover a Pangu Terminal as before, stated that he could absorb some Echoes and that it would facilitate communication between them.

She also gave him a set of corresponding paragliding gear and bionic wings.

"Isn't this thing from Rinascita?"

Looking at the bionic wings in his hand, Rover was somewhat surprised.

After all, he had largely forgotten his memories of this world, and according to his memories from his previous life… he knew very well that flying was not allowed in Jinzhou!

"It is indeed bionically crafted based on the technology from Rinascita. Compared to those Echo wings, it's quite inferior."

"But it still has great practical value. Jinzhou also paid a considerable price to acquire it from there~!"

"However, as long as it can reduce the sacrifice of even one soldier, the price paid is worth it."

Yangyang and Chixia first looked at Rover with some surprise, but they didn't ask further.

While leading the way, they also answered Rover's doubts about it.

Rover nodded at this, but inwardly he curled his lips, thinking, "a considerable price, huh… I doubt it."

After all, with Changli's methods, he didn't believe that woman, whose skill names even included "Insight," would truly pay a large price.

The trio soon arrived at the Dragon Terrace, and Rover immediately saw the colossal and majestic statue of Jinzhou's Year Lord — Jue.

As his eyes met the statue's pupils, Rover began a cross-time-and-space communication with Jue.

Neither side spoke, both simply gazing at each other… but the Diffraction Power within Rover began to rapidly increase at this moment.
