He looked at the faceless group photo.
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick up the photo from the floor.
His intuition told him.
There is some kind of important secret behind this photo.
It might even have something to do with his own transmigration!
Lu Yuan originally thought that his transmigration was just a coincidence.
But when he simulated it for the first time.
The Talent Card Pool malfunctioned, and he unexpectedly received an Adaptive Talent.
And during his simulation, he felt the attention of the wills of various realms...
Could all these things be mere coincidences?
It should be noted that even though the main world is full of crises, ordinary people don't even live to be forty years old.
But under the strong promotion of the Great Yan Empire.
The birth rate is increasing every year, and now it has nearly three billion people.
With such a large population base, SSS level evaluations are rare, but they definitely exist!
Therefore.
Judging from the attitude of the wills of various realms towards him, he is definitely hiding something!
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The current priority is to find out the origin of the Dawn Welfare Institute and then follow the clues to find the hidden truth behind it.
He thought about it.
He activated the simulation marker and opened the Simulationist Forum.
The Simulationist Forum.
It is a large virtual platform for simulationists to chat, exchange information, and buy and sell items.
Inside the Forum.
There are millions of simulationists.
As long as you have enough simulation points, you can buy anything.
[If this is your first time on the forums, please choose a nickname.]
[Once your nickname is set, it will be used for life and cannot be changed].
[Tip: To protect your privacy, please do not use your real name].
The request from the wills of various realms suddenly came.
"Rainy night with a knife?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and typed out four words.
[This nickname is already in use.]
"King Who Does Not Stay?"
"One Blade Asura?"
"Alone in the Brothel?"
Lu Yuan tried several names in a row, but they were all already in use.
As someone who was bad at naming, this really stumped him.
Looking at the nickname field, Lu Yuan got a headache.
"Night Listening to Rain?"
Lu Yuan thought for a long time and tried to use his online nickname from his previous life.
[This nickname is not in use. Click to confirm and bind!]
Lu Yuan immediately decided to confirm.
[Tip: The forum is a mixture of good and evil, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Please do not reveal your identity and information to strangers!]
The next moment.
Lu Yuan focused his consciousness and successfully entered a virtual platform.
Just like that, he logged into the forum.
He saw many popular messages scrolling at the top of the forum.
"3-Star Intermediate Martial World Difficulty Level, Fourth-Level Simulationist personally leading the team, missing one person, come if you have the strength!"
"Urgent sale of a simulation licence online, starting at 100,000 simulation points!"
"2 billion simulation points, buying ten thousand acres of spiritual farmland, contact me if interested!"
"Hiss~"
I saw the last popular message.
Many lurking simulationists were shocked.
"Which deity is so domineering as to buy so much spiritual farmland, and for what?"
"Do we even have to guess? They are definitely buying so much spiritual farmland to expand their population and territory."
"Does anyone who knows anything want to share some inside information? I'll go early and try to secure a place!"
"With all this fanfare, aren't they afraid of attracting attention?"
"You should look at the person's golden nickname first and then say that."
As soon as these words fell.
Many simulationists fell silent.
This was because each golden nickname had been authenticated by the wills of various realms.
This also means that there is a seventh-tier Sealed King power behind this message!
The reason why seventh-tier simulationists are called Sealed King Powerhouses?
is this.
After a simulationist enters the seventh-tier realm, he is qualified to be bestowed by the wills of different realms.
They can control an area and become a Sealed King!
Some powerful Sealed Kings have territories of over a million square kilometres, the size of a medium-sized country.
Some powerful Sealed Kings do not listen to orders, and not even the Imperial Family of the realm can do anything to them.
Only such existences can easily take out hundreds of millions of simulation points.
Lu Yuan didn't pay any attention to this.
He directly opened the search bar and typed in the eight words "Dawn Welfare Institute in Lihai City".
The simulation forum can connect to the real network.
Anything that appeared online could be found on the forum.
But what surprised Lu Yuan was this.
The screen of the forum was completely blank!
He didn't give up and searched several times.
But the results were the same.
No matter how many keywords he entered, he couldn't find any information about the Dawn Welfare Institute.
It was as if the old building did not exist in his memory!
"The Simulationist Forum has immense power, it can even connect to the backend of the Security Bureau."
"Even if an ordinary person scans a QR code to buy a bottle of water, it will leave a trace online."
"The Dawn Welfare Institute has existed for over a decade, it's impossible for it to be a clean slate."
"The fact that it disappeared so cleanly and thoroughly means that someone deliberately erased all traces."
Lu Yuan analysed with a furrowed brow.
"1000 simulation points, reward for any information about the Dawn Welfare Institute in Lihai City!"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and posted this message.
But as soon as he posted it, it was automatically deleted in less than three seconds.
The quick reaction indicated that the other party had considerable influence, perhaps even some authority from the wills of various realms.
Only in that case could they completely block any information related to the Dawn Welfare Institute on the Simulationist Forum!
"It seems that this matter is very complicated, and I don't even have the qualifications to touch it." Lu Yuan frowned, feeling helpless as he temporarily put it aside.
Next.
Lu Yuan thought about the jade pendant he received from the Martial World.
With a thought.
He typed a name into the search interface.
This time, there was no obstacle and a large amount of information finally appeared.
Symbol King Jiang Heng!
Three hundred years ago, the most brilliant genius in the history of the Jiang family!
It is said that in his first simulation he gained an SS-level talent!
And in a certain high-level reincarnation world, he received the legacy of an ancient alchemist.
From then on, he rose like a comet, unstoppable by anyone!
In just fifty years.
He became the youngest Sealed King in nearly five hundred years of the Great Yan Empire!
He posed a serious threat to the status of other royal bloodlines!
Until once, during a simulation, when he tried to return to the main world by force.
He was treacherously attacked by the Sycamore King and forced to lose his way to other planes of the world, and has been missing ever since!
A simulationist left a message saying that a hundred years ago, on a certain reincarnation world, he had met a madman who looked very much like Jiang Heng.
However, although this person was terrifying in strength, he was completely insane, chaotic, and seemed to have gone mad, never able to regain his former glory.
Some high level simulationists have also mentioned this.
For the past few hundred years, Jiang Heng has been wandering through the numerous realms as if he were searching for something important.
After reading all the information, Lu Yuan felt complicated.
Obviously.
When Jiang Heng forcibly returned, he was ambushed by the Maple King and lost the coordinates of the main world.
But how vast are the numerous realms?
Even as a seventh-tier Sealed King powerhouse, it is difficult to find your way home without coordinates.
On top of that, Jiang Heng has lost his wife and children, suffered mental instability, and whether he can stay sane is still a question.
Lu Yuan's original plan was to return the jade pendant, win the friendship of the Jiang family, and then slowly cultivate that relationship.
But now it seems.
His idea of attaching himself to someone powerful has failed.
After all, with Jiang Heng gone, the current Jiang family is in turmoil, facing internal and external threats.
Going to them recklessly, let alone seeking advantage, might even bring disaster upon himself.
