Lin Yi's Inner Voice Shocks the Audience [First Update]_1

But what surprised Lin Yi was that it seemed that Bi Ji wasn't the only one who thought this reward was great.

Everyone else did too!

Looking at their identical faces full of anticipation, it seemed as though they all had "this reward is so awesome" written all over their faces.

Damn! Are you guys out of your minds?!

The reward was obviously one that could be seen as quite useless, you could only hear the heart sounds when closer than one meter. This meant that as soon as Bi Ji came close, I could freely control whatever I was thinking about and then pass it on to her.

Then, whatever you heard would be exactly what I wanted you to hear!

Lin Yi curled the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself in his heart.

"To think it's this kind of reward, no wonder it's placed in the Gold Intermediate reward pool."

Gu Yuena was full of emotion,

"My goodness, I really want to know what Senior Lin Yi is thinking about!"

"Yeah, with someone like Senior Lin Yi, it's a luxury to hear him talk more, and now we can even hear his heart sounds, that's just amazing!"

"This reward is so great, I want it!"

"But our damage isn't enough."

...

Bi Bidong clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed with a faint red:

"Darn it, why do all the good things always go to the soul beasts of the Aquipeia Forest! I also want to hear what Lin Yi is thinking about!"

Emperor Xueye sighed, "We've missed the chance, Tiandou's luck today eventually wasn't as strong as the Star Dou Camp..."

Dai Ben was ecstatic, being part of the same camp as the ferocious beast, he was extremely looking forward to hearing Lin Yi's thoughts from Bi Ji.

"Hearing Senior Lin Yi's true thoughts will surely benefit us immensely! Not to mention extending our lives, having an epiphany is a certainty!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Watching the expressions of jealousy or excitement on this group of people, he finally realized something.

It seemed that these exaggerated phrases they were spouting weren't mere flattery.

They genuinely believed... that any reward related to me was the most valuable.

This inexplicably reminded Lin Yi of how one's intelligence seems to halve when encountering an enemy with low health in games; facing a reward related to me, their intelligence also seemed to halve.

Even powerful people like Bi Bidong, Gu Yuena, and Thousand Waves felt the same.

It seemed I built my character reputation too well, plus a 10,000 Charm bonus, they practically worshiped me as a deity... Lin Yi analyzed in his heart, his expression unchanging.

Although somewhat speechless, I have to admit this is exactly the outcome I was expecting... Lin Yi looked toward Bi Ji and flicked the Golden Light Sphere in his hand toward her.

After integrating with the reward, Bi Ji shook her head, and her eyes cleared from their dazed state.

She looked at Lin Yi, the reward taking effect, and at this moment within a one-meter radius around Lin Yi, it appeared to be enveloped in sacred light, distinctly different from other areas.

"Oh, the reward... the reward is working, Goose Goose wants to go and listen to heart sounds!"

Bi Ji pointed at the scene around Lin Yi, hopping up and down excitedly.

Gu Yuena didn't see what was so special, but since Bi Ji said so, she followed suit, "Go on, try out the experience of this reward."

Lin Yi noticed a hint of a smile on Gu Yuena's lips.

What are you smiling about? It's not like you're the one listening.

Watching the silly Goose Goose coming towards him, Lin Yi frowned, contemplating in his heart how he should design his "heart voice."

Can't have this silly goose hear everything that's on my mind.

Sure, she's silly, but that doesn't mean she can't become a parrot.

Wait a minute, what's that coming into my mind?

[So excited, so excited! Goose Goose is going to hear inner thoughts!]

[This is Goose Goose's exclusive reward!]

[Will the Golden Dragon Lord praise Goose Goose?]

[So looking forward to it! Must have praise!]

…

As Bi Ji drew nearer, Lin Yi's mind was suddenly flooded with a dense mess of inner voices.

So, this is my reward: to hear Bi Ji's thoughts, regardless of distance.

Got to say, it really is a bunch of thoughts with no nutritional value, Lin Yi critiqued inwardly.

Here she comes!

Lin Yi lifted his gaze; at this moment, Bi Ji was standing very close to him, her upper body leaning over, her ears only three fists away from Lin Yi's cheek.

She had a very pleasant scent, like the fresh fragrance of a young girl… Strange, this lady is clearly an old being of several hundred thousand years.

Lin Yi raised his hand, his face expressionless, and pushed Bi Ji further away, saying coldly, "There's no need to get so close, the range is one meter, not ten centimeters."

"Oh…"

Her mouth pouting, she stepped back half a meter away from Lin Yi with small steps, yet her upper body still leaned forward.

My god… can't you hear it if you don't stick your ear close, what gives?!

Lin Yi was somewhat speechless.

Oh no!

I'm supposed to be thinking of something to say.

Got to say, this reward really came too suddenly, absolutely giving me no time to prepare a "script" ahead of time.

Anyway, making them think I'm profound and inscrutable should do the trick...

Alright, recite some classical text.

Bi Ji, whose ears were listening attentively, suddenly widened her eyes. Now and then her brows furrowed, her expression was one of shock, deep in thought, and then again confusion appeared on her face.

This left everyone dying to know: what astounding things had Bi Ji heard from Senior Lin Yi that her expression changed so dramatically and exaggeratedly?!

Gu Yuena couldn't hold back anymore; hesitantly, she spoke, "Bi Ji, what did you hear… can you share it with us? This is a reward from the experiment… we should share the content with everyone!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Yuena finished speaking, her words were met with unanimous agreement from everyone.

Bi Bidong showed a smiling face, displaying a pleasing attitude, "Yes, Emerald Swan senior, the content of this experimental reward should indeed be shared with all of us, and I believe Senior Lin Yi would be willing as well."

Lin Yi's face was expressionless: "I don't mind."

Bi Bidong was taken aback; to be honest, she liked Lin Yi's indifferent demeanor the most; his attitude of being at ease with life and death, letting things take their own course indeed gave off a profound and inscrutable vibe.

Emperor Xueye followed up, "Swan senior, since Senior Lin Yi has not refused, why don't you tell us what you heard?"

At this moment, Bi Ji looked over with a shocked expression, shaking her head and saying, "Goose Goose doesn't understand the Golden Dragon Lord's inner voice, but it feels very profound..."

Gu Yuena stepped forward eagerly, "What exactly was it?"

Bi Ji repeated like a broken record:

"Teachings have their instructions, actions have laws; day brings work, night rewards; rest bestows rejuvenation, moments foster preservation.

The heavens and earth are heartless, yet people must carve their own fate. The ancient sages are long gone, unrest pervades through countless ages.

To establish a heart for the heavens and earth, to set a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of past sages, to forge peace for a myriad of generations."

After hearing Bi Ji's repeated words, there was a long silence throughout the venue.

Only the corners of Lin Yi's mouth were slightly raised.
