N-M Chapter 857, The 2th Transmigrator
Chapter 857, The 2th Transmigrator
Lin Qiye listened quietly without interrupting her.
Bai Muxi continued, "Nianbai has always been competitive since she was little, always striving to be number one in everything. If she loses to someone else in this competition, will she feel like she's not good enough? Will it leave a psychological scar on her?"
Lin Qiye remained silent for a moment.
"Mu Xi, you're worrying too much."
Bai Muxi was taken aback: "Husband?"
"Nianbai is my first child." His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "From the moment she was born, she was destined to bear more scrutiny than anyone else."
"It's best if the spoken word can help one recognize reality."
"If she can get back up and stand at the top after facing reality," he said with a slight smile, "that's what makes her a true strong person."
"If she can't see it," Lin Qiye's tone suddenly turned cold, "then it only means that she's not suited for this path."
A pang of sadness welled up in Bai Muxi's heart.
She knew her husband was right.
In this universe, the law of the jungle prevails.
If Lin Nianbai cannot withstand setbacks, how can he become Lin Qiye's right-hand man in the future?
But as a mother, how could she not worry about her child?
"Honey," Bai Muxi said softly, "could you... give Nianbai some time to process things?"
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at her.
"buffer?"
"She's only seven years old..." Bai Muxi's voice trailed off, "Couldn't we wait until she's a little older before letting her face these things?"
Lin Qiye remained silent.
Looking into Bai Muxi's pleading eyes, he felt a complex mix of emotions.
This woman accompanied him from humble beginnings to success and was one of the women he trusted most.
That's precisely why he wanted Lin Nianbai to face reality.
"Mu Xi," Lin Qiye began, his voice unusually gentle, "Do you know what narration lacks most?"
Bai Muxi shook her head.
"frustration."
Lin Qiye stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
"This child has been surrounded by an aura of glory since she was little," he said slowly. "The first child born, a daughter of heaven with the purest bloodline, everyone praises her..."
"Over time, she really started to believe that she was the strongest."
Lin Qiye turned around, his gaze sharp.
"But in this universe, there are countless people stronger than her. If she continues to live in this false illusion, what will happen when she grows up and encounters a truly powerful enemy?"
Bai Muxi's face turned slightly pale.
"So, while she's still young and has a chance to start over, I want to let her experience some setbacks first."
"If she can pull through," a hint of approval flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes, "then she will surely achieve great things in the future."
"What if she can't make it..."
He didn't continue.
But Bai Muxi already understood what he meant.
If you can't get through it, you'll just fade into obscurity.
"Husband," Bai Muxi took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, "I understand."
Lin Qiye looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"You are her mother," he walked back to Bai Muxi's side, gently putting his arm around her shoulder, "and want the best for her more than anyone else."
"But sometimes, true love is not about letting her live in a sweet paradise, but about teaching her to face the storms of life."
"The first Spark Martial Arts Tournament," his voice was deep, "is scheduled for three months from now."
"I will be watching the game in person."
"The best-performing children will be sent to the Main Star Area for study tours."
"There, they will encounter true geniuses, true rivals."
"Husband..." Bai Muxi raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears.
Lin Qiye reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Why are you crying?" His voice was unusually gentle. "Nianbai is my first child, and I want her to be well more than anyone else."
"But that's precisely why I can't let her live in a false illusion."
"A true strong person must be able to face their own shortcomings and then strive to catch up."
"If she can do it," a hint of expectation flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes, "then she will be my proudest child."
Bai Muxi listened quietly, a mix of emotions welling up inside her.
She knew her husband was right.
But as a mother, how could she not worry about her daughter?
……
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Lin Nianbai woke up early in the morning.
She was wearing a white practice uniform, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, and her face was full of excitement.
"Mommy! Mommy!" She skipped and hopped into Bai Muxi's room. "Where's Daddy? Is Daddy still here?"
Looking at her daughter's radiant face, Bai Muxi felt a mix of emotions.
"Nianbai," she said softly, "come here, Mommy has something to tell you."
Lin Nianbai was slightly taken aback, but still obediently walked over and sat down next to her mother.
"What is it?" she blinked her big eyes. "Is it about Daddy?"
Bai Muxi nodded and gently stroked her daughter's ponytail.
"Nianbai, do you know why Daddy came?"
"Because they miss us!" Lin Nianbai replied matter-of-factly.
Bai Muxi shook her head.
"Dad came to tell you something."
She looked into her daughter's bright eyes and took a deep breath.
"Three months from now, Dad will be hosting the first Starfire Martial Arts Tournament in Galaxy 0755."
"The Spark Martial Arts Tournament?" Lin Nianbai tilted her head. "What's that?"
"It's a competition to select geniuses," Bai Muxi said softly. "The best performing child will receive personal training from their father and will also have the opportunity to study in the main star region."
"To the main star region?!" Lin Nianbai's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?"
"real."
Lin Nianbai was so excited he almost jumped up.
Main star region!
That's the most bustling place in the entire Taurus constellation!
"If I could go there," Lin Nianbai clenched her small fist, her eyes gleaming with fervent light, "I would definitely become the strongest!"
Looking at her daughter's confident little face, Bai Muxi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
This child doesn't yet know how brutal real competition can be.
"Spoken word," she began softly, "Mom has something to tell you."
"What?"
"This competition isn't just for Terra City," Bai Muxi said, looking into her daughter's eyes. "Many talented people will be participating. They... might be even stronger than you."
Lin Nianbai was stunned for a moment.
"Stronger than me?" She tilted her head, seemingly processing the news. "But Mommy, I'm at the Transcendent Realm!"
"Recite the dialogue," Bai Muxi's voice turned serious, "You must remember one sentence."
"What did you say?"
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
Lin Nianbai fell silent.
Although she was young, she could sense a hint of solemnity in her mother's words.
"Mom," she looked up, a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Are you worried about me?"
Bai Muxi nodded.
"Then you don't need to worry!" Lin Nianbai clenched her little fists, her face full of determination. "Nianbai will definitely win!"
"Because the narration is Daddy's child!"
"I absolutely cannot let my father down with my recitation!"
Looking into her daughter's sparkling eyes, Bai Muxi felt a mix of emotions.
This child looks just like her father.
The same confidence, the same pride, the same... ignorance of one's own limitations.
That's precisely why she's even more worried.
"Nianbai," Bai Muxi reached out and pulled her daughter into her arms, "Mom doesn't distrust you."
"Mom just wants to tell you that no matter what the outcome, you will always be Mom's pride."
Lin Nianbai was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Mom, don't worry!" she patted her little chest, "We'll definitely win the recitation!"
"Once Nianbai wins, I'll take you and Dad to the Main Star District!"
"Then, the narration will let everyone know that Dad is the best!"
"And Nianbai is Dad's proudest child!"
Bai Muxi felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she listened to her daughter's innocent yet firm voice.
Regardless of the outcome, this courage and confidence are already something to be proud of.
"Nianbai," she said softly, "Mom believes in you."
"But remember, no matter whether you win or lose, Mom will always love you."
Lin Nianbai nodded heavily.
"Mom, I love you too!"
She broke free from her mother's embrace, her little face full of fighting spirit.
"Mom, Nianbai is going to cultivate!"
"Nianbai will definitely win the championship in three months!"
After saying that, she skipped and hopped out of the room.
Bai Muxi watched her daughter's departing figure, a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"Spoken word..." she murmured softly, "Mom hopes you win."
"But Mom hopes even more that you... can withstand failure."
……
Three months later.
Galaxy 0755, Terra City.
The venue for the Spark Martial Arts Competition has been set up.
This is a huge holographic arena that can accommodate millions of spectators at the same time.
In the very center of the arena, a huge holographic screen is displaying the contestants' information in real time.
The inaugural Spark Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin!
The host's voice echoed through the venue, eliciting cheers.
"This competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final, and final."
"The preliminary round will be held in a holographic simulator, and the system will randomly match participants."
"The semi-finals will be held on a real ring to test the contestants' true fighting ability."
"The final will take place in space, testing the contestants' extreme adaptability!"
"Those who ultimately make it into the top 100 will receive a personal audience with Chief Commander Lin and will be qualified to travel to the Main Star Region for a study tour!!!"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire!!!"
"Long live the Lin family!!!"
In the stands, countless people waved their glow sticks and cheered deafeningly.
At the entrance to the contestants' passage, a small figure with a ponytail stood up straight, staring intently ahead.
Lin Nianbai.
She was wearing a custom-made combat suit, her small face filled with confidence and anticipation.
"Nianbai-jie!" a childish voice called from behind. "Go Nianbai-jie!"
Lin Nianbai turned her head and saw a group of younger brothers and sisters waving at her.
She smiled slightly and gave them a victory sign.
"Don't worry!" she shouted, "Sister Nianbai will definitely win!"
Just then, a tall, slender figure appeared at the end of the contestants' passage.
Lin Qiye.
He wore a dark gold armor, surrounded by a faint divine glow, and exuded a chilling aura.
"Commander-in-Chief!!!"
"Commander Lin!!!"
An even more frenzied cheer erupted from the audience.
Lin Qiye stood on the platform, looking down at the densely packed crowd below.
His gaze was indifferent, yet it exuded a chilling pressure.
After his Blood Demon Power reached its peak, his aura became even more profound and unpredictable than before.
Simply by standing there, he inspires awe in countless people.
"Long live Father!!!"
"Long live General Lin!!!"
The cheers grew louder and louder.
Lin Qiye raised his hand, and the entire room fell silent instantly.
"The first Spark Martial Arts Competition," his deep, magnetic voice echoed throughout the venue, "is a stage that I, Lin Qiye, have prepared for you."
"On this stage, we don't care about background or origin; we only care about ability."
"As long as you have the ability, you can stand at the highest position."
"That's my rule—"
A golden light flashed in his eyes.
"Strength is king!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Countless children clenched their fists, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism.
This is Lin Qiye!
This is the man who created all of this!
As long as you can gain his approval, you can soar to great heights!
"Competition rules," Lin Qiye said calmly, "The preliminary round is an Abyss Survival Competition."
On the holographic screen, a huge map of the abyss slowly unfolds.
The map is marked with a dense array of monster locations, and each monster's level and danger level are indicated next to it.
"Starting from the outermost edge of the abyss, we fought our way to its deepest point."
"Earn points for each monster you kill."
"In ten days, the top three thousand people with the highest scores will advance to the semi-finals."
"After that come the semi-finals and the finals!"
Lin Qiye's gaze swept across the entire room.
"The top 100 will receive a personal meeting with me and be qualified to go on a study tour to the main star region."
"The champion..." He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, "will receive a reward."
"Insights from a Star Wars God Beyond the God of War!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Lin Qiye personally received him!
Study tour in the main star region!
The insights of an interstellar war god beyond the god of war!
The entire venue fell silent for a moment.
The next instant, a deafening roar of cheers erupted!
"Insights from the God of War!!!"
"Long live Father!!!"
"General Lin is wise!!!"
Countless children clenched their fists, their eyes gleaming with unprecedented fervor.
At the entrance to the contestants' passage, Lin Nianbai's face was flushed red, and her small chest was heaving violently.
Reflections on God of War!
That was a reward from Dad!
Dad... Dad is so amazing!
She took a deep breath, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
This championship definitely belongs to her!!!
She will definitely win!
Definitely!!!
……
Reflections on God of War!
Countless people stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
The Star God of War is an existence that stands at the very top of the entire galactic pyramid!
The entire Taurus sector has not seen a Star Wars God for tens of thousands of years!
And now, this legendary figure is actually offering the insights of the interstellar war god as a reward?
"This is...this is insane!"
"Is Chief of Staff Lin trying to raise his child to be a space warrior?!"
In the audience, countless people whispered among themselves, their eyes gleaming with fervent enthusiasm.
On the podium, Xiao Ruoshui, Bai Muxi, Lin Yuechan and other women all showed expressions of shock.
Although they knew Lin Qiye was powerful, they never expected that he would possess the insights of an interstellar war god.
The insights gained from the interstellar war god are countless times more precious than any treasure!
That's the spiritual imprint left by only the truly powerful beings who stand at the pinnacle of the universe!
"Husband..." Bai Muxi murmured softly, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
……
At the same time, the powerful and influential families in various star systems in the 075 star sector received the news immediately.
"What?! Interstellar War God insights?!"
"How is this possible! That's a legendary being!"
"Just who is Chief of Staff Lin? How could he even possess something like this?!"
The moment countless family heads saw this news, they stood up in excitement.
The insights gained from the interstellar war god are countless times more precious than any resource or treasure!
That's the key to becoming a Star Wars God!
And now, this legendary figure is going to be given as a prize in a competition to a child?!
"Quickly! Summon all the elders immediately!"
"Chief Lin's bloodline is too precious! We must arrange for the most outstanding women in the clan to join Project Spark as soon as possible!"
"This time, we must seize the initiative!!!"
Almost simultaneously, a huge uproar swept through the entire 075 star sector.
Countless wealthy and powerful families held family meetings overnight to discuss how to get their women into Project Spark.
Those families who were initially observing rushed forward like sharks smelling blood.
Some people even started pulling strings and using back channels, just to give women in their families the opportunity to immediately enter the Spark Program.
All of this is because of that sentence—
"The champion will gain the enlightenment of the interstellar war god!"
……
"Contest--"
Lin Qiye's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Let's begin!"
boom!!!
The entire arena erupted in cheers.
Countless beams of light shot out from the contestant tunnel and rushed toward the holographic simulator.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently at everything.
Among the contestants, a small figure with a ponytail stood out.
Lin Nianbai.
She clenched her small fists, her eyes gleaming with fanaticism.
"Dad, just you wait and see!" she vowed silently in her heart, "Nianbai will definitely win the championship!!!"
……
Meanwhile, in the contestants' queue.
A seemingly ordinary little girl was looking around with a bewildered expression.
She was wearing a light pink combat suit, her hair was tied in pigtails, and her big eyes revealed a confusion that was very different from her age.
Lin Zhiyan never expected that she would transmigrate into a male-oriented novel!
"Are you kidding me...?"
"I'm reading female-oriented novels! I'm reading domineering CEO stories! I'm reading stories of wives chasing after their husbands! I'm reading sweet romance novels!!!"
"Why did I have to transmigrate into this trashy novel?!"
She glanced at the children around her, who were eager and ready to try.
"These kinds of trash novels are all about leveling up, fighting monsters, and building harems!!!"
Lin Zhiyan felt like her head was about to explode.
She usually reads "President, Please Be Gentle," "Reborn Eldest Daughter's Counterattack," and "Eighty-One Ways to Chase a Wife!"
Which of the male protagonists in those novels isn't deeply affectionate and devoted? Which one isn't a doting husband? Which one doesn't cherish every woman they encounter?
But what about this novel?
Chief of Staff Lin, Lin Qiye, his father, the common father of 100,000 people here!
I heard this is just one city!
Over a million children across the entire planet...
If this were a female-oriented novel, the male lead would have been slapped to death by the female lead long ago!
How could the female lead possibly share a man with someone else?
Even if she were to share a husband with other women, they would have to be the legitimate daughters!
Furthermore, the male lead must dote on her exclusively; all other women are merely supporting characters!
But what about here?
Tens of thousands of women???
More than a million children?
Lin Zhiyan felt that her values were being violently challenged.
Just then, a broadcast came on.
"All participants, please enter the holographic simulator!"
"The preliminary rounds are about to begin!"
Lin Zhiyan took a deep breath and followed the crowd toward the holographic simulator.
A complex light flickered in her eyes.
"Just you wait, Lin Qiye..." she vowed silently, "I'll make you regret not noticing me!!!"
……
The holographic simulator is started.
Lin Zhiyan felt a blur before her eyes, and then she found herself in a completely new space.
This is a dark underground world.
Above us are huge stalactites, emitting a faint blue light.
The ground was slippery with wet rocks, and a series of low roars could be heard in the distance.
Welcome to the Abyss Survival Tournament!
The system's voice rang in her mind.
Your mission: Hunt down as many abyssal beasts as possible in ten days to earn points.
[Note: Upon death, you will be forcibly eliminated.]
Lin Zhiyan looked at her attribute panel.
Name: Lin Zhiyan
Age: 6
[Realm: Seven-Star Martial Artist]
Points: 0
[Rank: 105672/105672]
Seven-Star Martial Artist? At the bottom?
Lin Zhiyan's expression was somewhat stiff.
She originally thought she had a decent talent, but now it seems...
"Wait a minute!" she suddenly realized. "I remember in female-centric novels, the protagonist is always looked down upon by everyone at the beginning, and then she makes a comeback and proves everyone wrong!"
"Victory must be won through wisdom, not brute force!"
"This is survival in the abyss, so I'll use my wits to win!"
"By the way, this is a male-oriented novel, so does it have any cheat codes?"
"I'm a time traveler, so I should have some kind of cheat code, right?"
Just then, a gigantic abyssal beast burst out of the darkness and pounced on her.
It was a giant wolf covered in black scales, over two meters tall, with a pair of blood-red eyes staring intently at her.
[Abyssal Wolf - Elite]
[Rank: Nine Stars]
[Danger Level: High]
Lin Zhiyan's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Nine-star martial artist?
She's only a seven-star martial artist!
"Help!!!" She turned and ran.
But the speed of the abyssal wolf was much faster than she had imagined.
In just a few breaths, the giant wolf caught up with her.
Before Lin Zhiyan could figure out what was going on, the abyssal wolf had already rushed in front of her.
"Awooo—!"
It opened its blood-red maw, and a foul stench wafted out.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Lin Zhiyan retreated frantically, her hands flailing wildly in the air.
"I'm the protagonist! Where's the protagonist's halo?! Where's the cheat code?!"
However, nothing happened.
The abyssal wolf's claws lashed out at her without mercy.
[Player death detected]
[Forced logout in progress...]
"ah--!!!"
Lin Zhiyan let out a shrill scream as she was ejected from the holographic simulator and crashed heavily to the ground.
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she was breathing heavily.
Although it was just a simulation of death, the pain of being torn apart by sharp claws was so real it was horrifying.
"I...I lost?"
Lin Zhiyan stared in disbelief at her empty hands.
The first round of the competition... and we lost?
Her face turned deathly pale instantly.
She originally thought that with her identity and aura as a transmigrator, she would definitely be able to shine in this world.
But now...
