Chapter 296: Chapter 137 My World

Lin Yi took another look at his surroundings, and even began to move toward the direction of the Corridor Bridge, then tried to lightly touch the Corridor Bridge of this world with his hand.

Feeling the rough granules of sand and stone on the concrete wall scraping across his palm, Lin Yi was shocked by the real feedback sensation of this imagined world...

It was at that moment, a sense of fatigue began to surge faintly in his heart.

"Fatigue...?"

The view before his eyes suddenly blurred a bit, and that sense of fatigue seemed to grow heavier.

It was as if he understood something, and then he suddenly charged towards the Corridor Bridge.

The twisted ground of the Corridor Bridge was uneven, and the few meters of distance made Lin Yi stumble and nearly fall, but he finally managed to enter the Corridor Bridge with difficulty, supporting himself against the concrete wall.

He lay on the Corridor Bridge, strongly resisting the call of that fatigue in his heart, strenuously craning his neck out, and then glanced down underneath the Corridor Bridge!

"Just as I thought...!"

Lin Yi’s pupils contracted slightly, only to see that under the Corridor Bridge was a world shrouded in white mist. The mountainous terrain that should have been visible, the cobblestone paths, even the Green Forest Belt were nowhere to be seen!

And the white mist didn’t spread upwards; it just remained in place above the bottom of the Corridor Bridge, extending slightly upwards.

And the line formed by the white mist overlapped perfectly with the line where the moss had been straightened out, marking the division between the blank area above the Corridor Bridge and the mossy area.

As he looked at the white mist, the slowly undulating mist moved like ocean waves, engulfing the area beneath the Corridor Bridge that was almost completely covered with moss.

At the same time, a cold sensation that had never before arisen began to spread from within the mist.

"This isn’t mountain fog!" Lin Yi realized instantly, "This is ’Contamination’! It’s mist entirely formed from the breath of pollution!"

Within the surging mist, as if carrying the rhythm of waves crashing onto the shoreline, "whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—" it seemed as though an ocean lay hidden beneath...

At the same time, a strong sense of weakness surged into his heart, a severe fatigue as though it was seeping into his body.

"Time to go! Go!"

Strangely enough, when he firmed his thought of "leaving," he suddenly felt a sense of relief. The weight of the entire world, which seemed to have been made heavier after seeing the mist and hearing the sound of the waves, nearly crushing his spine, suddenly straightened up.

He felt as if he were a spirit, "whoosh," gliding over the rugged, pitted surface of the Corridor Bridge for a few meters, then passing through that layer of "gauze," and overlapping with the "real" self in reality...

...

May 8th, X023, 14:50, Teaching Building C, entrance to the Corridor Bridge.

Lin Yi’s gaze suddenly focused, and he came forcefully back to his senses.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he saw a fiercely "DuangDuangDuang" uniform, as if something colossal and tumultuous was being suppressed underneath...

But before he could recover, his whole being was shaken like a small boat in a storm, and his mind also felt as if it was being rattled "DuangDuangDuang."

At the same time, he heard the anxious calling of Li Huiyuan at his ears, "Classmate Lin! Wake up, hurry! Classmate Lin! Classmate Lin..."

Lin Yi quickly said, "I’m back, I’m back..."

Hearing Lin Yi’s voice, Li Huiyuan finally relaxed her hands, her eyes seemingly swirling with small pearls.

Heart racing, she had thought to herself, if shaking didn’t awake you, I would have been dizzy myself... you need to wake up, you need to wake up, if you don’t, I’ll have to slap you awake...

And just when she was about to make the hard decision against her conscience to give Lin Yi a big slap, he woke up.

She then sighed with relief, but was still a bit worried and asked, "Classmate Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Yi, while catching his breath, waved his hand, "Not a big problem, just a little tired..."

Lin Yi was very surprised in his heart because that sense of fatigue had indeed followed him back, but it had not affected his body, rather it acted on his psyche... or more accurately, his feelings.

He felt a slight drain on his mental power as if he had exhausted himself on a math problem he couldn’t solve, made an error, and although his body had not expended energy, it felt very mentally draining, or perhaps fatiguing to his spiritual power.

Lin Yi speculated that this mental exhaustion was because he not only had to construct a Teaching Building in his mind but also needed to twist it into another shape and maintain it... This kind of mental drain was a huge devastation to his spiritual power.

It was like maintaining a server running; his mind had started up a "My World," which was originally just a pixelated version, okay to view overall, but when he walked towards the Corridor Bridge and began sensing the real details of the world, his brain, in order to truly create that sense of reality, suddenly increased the consumption.

Thus, it caused a rapid depletion of his energy, like his power had been sucked away by a pump, creating a strong sense of fatigue.

But it was all worth it.

Because in the last moment, he took a glance at the mist.

This was something beyond his imagination, an image he could not have anticipated... something like an intrusion into his "Daydream Daytime!"
