Chapter 1 Rebirth begins with instant noodles
.On November 29, 2024, at 1:29, late at night, in the suburbs, one of the small bungalows built illegally was still on..
The small bungalow that does not even have a toilet is only about ten square meters. Looking through the narrow windows, you can find that the interior layout is also very simple and dilapidated. In addition to a shabby single bed with a scattered bed, a small square table with one leg, wooden shelves for miscellaneous items such as old and well-maintained furniture, and some necessities of life such as pots, pans, and pots, pans, etc., there is also a set of old but well-maintained brainwave game equipment. Although this equipment used for online games is not very valuable, it is not like an object that people living in such a dilapidated house can afford, and it looks incompatible with the surrounding environment.
In fact, this set of equipment that has been used for more than three years is the most important thing for the owner of the house. It is not for playing games and entertainment, but for the owner of the house to survive and make money. That's right, the owner of the house is the so-called professional player, but just the gold-fighting master at the bottom of the studio. Although this kind of gold-fighting master at the bottom of the house has a meager income, it is the only source of rent, water, electricity and food expenses for the owner of the house.
The owner of the house is Ye Hua. He is a young man in his twenties. His long-term life of staying at home to play Jin Daixing makes him look mentally exhausted. His eyes, with big dark circles, were covered with bloodshot, pale skin, weak muscles, and had not been taken care of his messy hair. As for why he was doing so miserably? Alas~~ This is really hard to describe. Let's talk about this in the future...
At this moment, Ye Hua was eating a bucket of instant noodles, which was found in a pile of debris. I don’t know how long it was forgotten. It’s been half a year since the shelf life, but it doesn’t seem like there is any problem. Ye Hua, who was so hungry, soaked it open and ate it without thinking too much...
There is no way, this thing is the last food in the family. He has not received his salary for two months. It is not that the studio boss is unwilling to blame. If you want to blame the society, blame the bad society! The economy has recently recovered and the social workload has increased. There are naturally fewer people who have the leisure to play games. Professional players who rely on games to survive naturally have their workload and their income is naturally not guaranteed... Not to mention that he is a small bottom-level gold-fighter, even the boss of his studio has not had a good time recently.
This is the economy. The economic crisis in the real world, and the online virtual world develops rapidly; the real world economy recovers, and the online virtual world is about to be in crisis...
After eating instant noodles, Ye Hua thought about whether he should give up his current career and go out of the house to find another job to support his life? Anyway, the economy is recovering and the number of jobs is increasing, so it is not difficult to find a job...
While thinking about it, you habitually connect to the network, wear brain wave equipment, and log in to the game - the game "Order and Chaos", which has been working as a professional player for more than three years. This is the latest game method that has been popular all over the world in the past four years since the public beta, and it has been officially launched. It does not require traditional keyboard and mouse, but directly operates through brain wave sensing, with simple and flexible operation, ultra-high simulation, and feeling real and immersive as its biggest selling point.
Excellent content and novel methods have attracted many players to enter. It is said that more than 20 million players entered the game on the day of the open beta, and then players entered one after another. Until now, more than 200 million registered players in China alone, and at least 8 million online players were online, making it the most popular large-scale online game in history.
Although the game method is very novel and the game content is excellent, as a professional player who makes money through games, Ye Hua doesn’t have much time to experience the beauty of the game. Most of the time is based on the standard process developed by the studio, and performing mechanical work day after day. But this time, logging into the game is different. There is no work arrangement now, and Ye Hua just wants to go around and pass the boring time.
The brain wave just connected to the game and before the login screen was entered, Ye Hua felt a cramp in his stomach! It was over, there was indeed a problem with the expired instant noodles, and I'm afraid it was food poisoning!
Ye Hua hurriedly got up and wanted to go to the hospital, but he forgot that the brain wave game equipment was still on his head! Since there was no external camera that was convenient for observing the reality when the game was turned on, Ye Hua, who was blocked by the game equipment, naturally could not see the real thing. He was so anxious that he couldn't maintain his balance. His body fell forward and his head fell on the corner of the small square table with one leg.
With a bang, the instant noodle bucket placed on the table was overturned, and half of the soup left inside was spilled all over the floor. Ye Hua, who was hit hard in his head, smelled the slightly strange noodle soup in a daze, thinking that there was indeed something wrong... Then his eyes turned dark and he lost consciousness...
***************************
As the sun sets, an old five-story residential building with a single room on the top floor. Ye Hua is staring blankly at the steaming bucket surface on the small square table in front of him.
Ye Hua carefully sniffed the bucket in front of him and frowned: "The smell is indeed a problem..." As soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked, stood up and widened his eyes and looked around. There was a single room with a separate bathroom of about twenty square meters, bright windows, a single bed that was not old, and not a lame square table, a small wardrobe, an old desktop computer, and a TV that was playing boring programs... Although the house was scattered, it was not a feeling of downturn...
"This is...this is..." Ye Hua murmured to himself with confusion. Where is this? This environment...why is it so familiar? Soon he noticed that the on-screen TV was playing a beautifully made CG advertisement, which was the brain-wave sensing online game "Order and Chaos". But what Ye Hua noticed was not this advertisement that had been watched for four years, but the date and time displayed in the upper right corner of the TV - December 29, 2020, at 19:28, remember it was the day when "Order and Chaos" had just started a month after it started the public beta...
"This is... this is four years ago?! How could it be..." Ye Hua pinched himself hard, it hurts very much, it wasn't dreaming... Could it be that he had a dream just now? He dreamed of the days four years later? It's not right, and the memory is clear, it's not a dream at all! But what's going on? I clearly remembered that I had a stomachache after eating expired bucket noodles, and wanted to come to the hospital...
Wait... Expired bucket noodles? Ye Hua looked at the bucket noodles on the table again. They were almost soaked and looked very fragrant, but when they smelled it carefully, they had a strange smell. It was obviously an expired food in question. Ye Hua vaguely remembered this scene. It seemed that he had eaten the expired bucket noodles because he was careless, and he ended up in hospital because of food poisoning and spending a lot of money, which delayed a plan... What was the plan?
Ye Hua subconsciously glanced at the cg advertisement played on the TV screen, by the way! That's it! It's "Order and Chaos"! I remember that I worked hard to save money to buy a set of brain wave sensing equipment that is not very expensive for ordinary people, but for a poor man like him, it takes several months to buy! They are all for being able to enter "Order and Chaos" and start the planned career of a professional player!
"That's it really happened to be back four years ago? Time flies back!?" Thinking of this, Ye Hua hurried to the bathroom and looked at his face carefully in the mirror. Sure enough, the decadent dark circles were gone, there was no scary blood in his eyes, and his skin was not so pale that it was terrible. Although his hair was not neat, it was still clean. This was really the self four years ago! It really happened to be back four years ago!!
"This is! It's simply! Ah! Brother is going to post it!!" Ye Hua was excited and foamed in his mouth. After a long time, he calmed down a little. He began to think about how to use future information to make a lot of money. Stocks? I haven't cared about it... Lottery? I don't remember the winning numbers... Movies? I just remember the content and it's useless to shoot!... Novels? I have long forgotten the specific plot of yy... Current affairs news? I can remember a little bit, but what's the use of remembering these little people who are powerless to me!
Ye Hua recalled his previous life experience and found that he had neither learned any skills nor mastered any information. The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more depressed. While secretly scolding himself for being useless, why didn’t he remember useful information? While worrying about what he should do, since he had to live a re-live, he couldn’t live the kind of down-and-out life before? Why are the protagonists who re-live it once are so wonderful? Is it my turn to avoid eating expired barrels of noodles?
Ye Hua thought about it carefully and found that he was not without skills, although he was just a skill in playing games... he was not without information. Although he only had information about games... what else could he do besides continuing to be a professional player?
However, this time I will never be as bad as I did in my previous life. I have been a professional player for more than three years. Although I am just the lowest-level gold-fighter, I am better than the players who have just entered the game now, right? Moreover, because I have not eaten expired instant noodles in this world, I will not be hospitalized due to food poisoning. The money I saved to buy game equipment is still there, and I can enter the game 7 months earlier than in my previous life!
Using the skills that have been honed by the three years of professional player career, understanding future game information, and entering the game development in advance, you will definitely make a difference in this life, and at least you can become a studio boss? At that time, you will have dozens of employees under your jurisdiction, and you can also hire a beautiful female secretary... Hehe... Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, the position of a studio boss can make him happy.
Thinking of this, Ye Hua didn't care about being hungry and threw the expired bucket noodles that hurt people into the trash can. While swearing that he wouldn't eat bucket noodles in his life, he turned on the computer and logged into the game official website according to the website on the TV advertisement, and chose to order brain wave sensing game equipment. The 8,000 yuan on the bank card was instantly clean, but Ye Hua's heart was full of expectations! This time, he must be a successful professional player!
After ordering the equipment, Ye Hua casually browsed the web page, thinking about the current food expenses. Who should I borrow some?
Just as I was thinking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Dongdongdongdong! Dongdongdongdongdong!
The not-so-hard knock on the door made Ye Hua's heart tremble. Stimulated by this inexplicable sense of fear, he seemed to remember something. It should be a terrible thing, which made himself in his previous life unable to sleep or eat at the same time, but could not avoid it...
Ye Hua stood up, walked to the door tremblingly, took a few deep breaths to suppress the fear in his heart, and slowly opened the door...
Chapter completed!
