Chapter 1: Zhang Cheng

Next Chapter

Jiangcheng.

Food court.

The sky has just darkened, and the neon lights on the side of the street are already lit up, colorful and gorgeous.

Under the neon lights, two long queue-like food stalls were already full of people, old and young, men and women...... Three religions and nine streams, dragons and snakes are mixed.

It's a scorching hot summer night.

The men were mostly barebacked, sweating and eating hot pot and drinking beer, while the women were scantily clad and exposed large swaths of their skin for free viewing, laughing and punching loudly with the men...... Everyone was eating, laughing, yelling, scolding......

The crowd is full of voices and lively.

In the midst of the bustle, a man in his thirties appears on the food court, wearing a poor white shirt and a pair of jeans worn like a beggar's outfit, and his shabby clothes do not match the bearing on his face at all.

His expression was numb, his eyes were empty, he took mechanical steps, and the lively scene around him seemed to be two worlds with him. No one knew that this walking corpse-like man, named Zhang Cheng, had just gone bankrupt and had just divorced his wife who had been married for more than a year this afternoon.

Now, the neon in front of him was gray in his eyes, and the billowing red dust was like a cloud of smoke.

A little sister dressed in alcohol and wearing a crop top stumbled into Zhang Cheng's body, raised a thick and glamorous face, and said coquettishly in drunken eyes: "Ouch, big brother, what are you doing with me, do you want to eat other people's tofu?" ”

Zhang Cheng didn't even look at her, and walked straight forward. When he reached the end of the street, he paused, hesitated, turned into a department store called "Good Luck", and bought himself a case of Yanjing fresh beer.

The community where Zhang Cheng lives is near here, because of the way, he used to buy things here, he is a regular customer of this store, and he is also familiar with the female boss, Zhang Cheng knows that the boss is an older leftover girl, and the female boss also knows that Zhang Cheng used to be a big boss, but not long ago, the business went bankrupt.

The female boss's name is Wang Juyi, twenty-eight years old, she is a very capable woman, and there is not only this store in Jiangcheng, but also several branches. Because he was busy with business, he didn't take care of his own lifelong events, so he was "left".

When she saw Zhang Cheng's dejected look, her face was a little unbearable, her red lips opened lightly, and she couldn't help but persuade: "Ah Cheng, don't be too sad, cheer up, what's the big deal, let's start all over again if the business loses......"

Zhang Cheng knew that this woman named Wang Juyi had always been interested in herself before, but she dispelled this idea after she got married.

"Start all over again...... Zhang Cheng shook his head: "It's easy to say...... It's hard to ......."

After more than ten years of hard work, only he knows the hardship, the hard work is a trivial matter, and the important thing is that all the efforts can never come back...... Youth...... Affection...... Healthy...... And many, many more......

Wang Juyi sighed and asked again, "Hey? What about He Yan? Why didn't I come with you? ”

"Gone! Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon! Zhang Cheng said dryly.

Hearing this, Wang Juyi's eyes lit up, and she raised her white finger very unnaturally and stroked the hair that had slipped down her beautiful sideburns, and said: "It's okay to leave, you can only share the joys and sorrows with the woman, there is nothing to be nostalgic for!" ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, smiled bitterly, stopped answering, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Wang Juyi. Wang Juyi very quickly took out a package of new packaged food from the store from the merchandise counter and handed it over, and said, "No, I'll give you a pack of dried squid to drink......

Zhang Cheng felt a trace of warmth in his heart, thanked him, didn't look at it, grabbed it and left.

Return to the Green Park community where you live.

This house in the Green Park Community was bought by Zhang Cheng three years ago, with two bedrooms and one living room, a large balcony, more than 100 square meters, at that time his business had already started and made some money, so he bought this house, and its purpose was to get married and have children as soon as possible, according to the wishes of his parents before going abroad, and to build for the Zhang family as soon as possible.

As a result, before the man was created, he was already divorced.

His wife's name is He Yan, she is a woman who is very deep in the city, she was quite gentle and loving before she got married, but after she got married, she showed her surname of widowhood and unrighteousness, it turned out that she only cherished her own face bag and figure, and she had been unwilling to have children for the sake of her figure and face bag.

Moreover, this unsympathetic woman is amorous to money, and with the bankruptcy of Zhang Cheng's business, she directly said goodbye to Zhang Cheng, and instead threw herself into the arms of an upstart son named Li Chang.

What's even more hateful is that when she was going through the divorce this afternoon, He Yan also claimed to Zhang Cheng to build this house, saying that it was her youth compensation. Because it was Zhang Cheng's personal property before marriage, Zhang Cheng naturally did not agree. Unexpectedly, He Yan actually threatened, saying that tomorrow she would bring someone to ask for a house, and if Zhang Cheng did not agree to give it, Li Chang would trouble him.

Zhang Cheng has seen Li Chang, and he has also heard of Li Chang's notoriety, a tyrant in the food street. After marrying Zhang Cheng, He Yan worked as a lobby manager at a hotel called Hongbin Lou in the food street, and the two must have met at that time.

After opening the door and entering the living room, Zhang Cheng kicked off his shoes, and went straight to the balcony with a beer.

The wide balcony, cool breeze, there is a round table in the center of the balcony, two chairs with backrests, Zhang Cheng put the whole box of beer on the table, and then kicked over the chair that He Yan often sits, sat down on another chair, opened the beer box, took out one, bit the cap with his teeth, and blew on the bottle.

Drown one's sorrows.

After years of hard work in business, Zhang Cheng has cultivated a good amount of alcohol, but he has also drunk his body, although he seems to have been lucky in the past two years, he is actually fat.

He is 35 years old this year, and after years of hard work, his body is very weak, his skin is loose, he has white hair on his head, his face has long been wrinkled, and although he has no serious illness, he is not healthy, and he is in a state of "sub-health".

Although he is only in his thirties, he now claims to be forty years old, and no one will suspect it.

From this point, it can be seen that He Yan only married him, and he also came for money, because He Yan is only twenty-five years old. is ten years younger than Zhang Cheng, and his appearance is not bad.

Zhang Cheng was going to get drunk tonight, but after only drinking one bottle, he felt a little dizzy, so he opened the squid bag given by the store owner and drank it.

Seeing the squid, Zhang Cheng thought of Wang Juyi's sentence again, laughed at himself, and muttered: "Start all over again...... I'm all four people, and I have this house left in my name, so why should I start all over again......"

The past was like the bitter liquid in the wine glass, the more he drank, the more uncomfortable he became, the more uncomfortable he became, the more he wanted to drink, he drank six bottles in a row, and finally he climbed down, and he crawled on the table and fell asleep.

The night was getting darker, and at midnight, when the clock rang at zero o'clock, a blue light fell from the sky, like a meteor across the sky, and actually came towards this balcony, and finally, it smashed on Zhang Cheng's head quickly.

Zhang Cheng was shocked. The mind cleared up a little. At this time, he heard a mechanical female voice in his head: "The Outer Space Software Age Modifier has found a boarding object and is now being installed...... Click, click, click, ......"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Cheng's heart was furious, he suddenly sat up straight, held his breath and listened, but the strange sound in his head kept ringing, the clicking sound rang for about half a minute before stopping, and then the mechanical female voice said: "The installation is complete, and now it is bound to the host's soul meridian ......."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng's whole body trembled, and all the beer he drank turned into a cold sweat, and the strength of the wine dispersed, and his mind became clear.

He patted the door of his head, feeling quite normal, but the voice in his head was still ringing: "Dear host, the Outer Space Software Age Modifier has been installed and bound to your soul, do you want to experience ......it now?"

Zhang Cheng turned his head, the balcony was empty, he was alone, it couldn't be someone else's voice, and he clearly felt that the voice came from his head. Zhang Cheng, who has never believed in evil, was also panicked at this time, and involuntarily said: "You...... Who are you......"

"I'm a software from outer space called the Age Modifier. Now it is lodged in your mind and bound to your soul, and now I am completely yours and you can use it whenever you want......"

"Uh...... Is it? Zhang Cheng finally determined that he had gotten a software, just like the protagonist in the online novel got the ability, at this time, even if he was as calm as him, he was excited and expectant...... "So, what are the functions of this software?"

"Dear host, the function of the software is to modify the age."

Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Modify the age? Is it so amazing? ”

"That's right, host, for example, you're thirty-five now, and if you want to change back to twenty-five, the software can help you with ......"

Before the system finished speaking, Zhang Cheng couldn't wait to say: "It's really fake!?" ”

"Dear host, if you don't believe me, you can experience it now......"

"Uh......" Zhang Cheng rubbed his hands in surprise and said, "Then what am I going to do?" ”

"Just one thought." The system voice said: "Dear host, in the future, whether you are working on the software or communicating with me, you can use your mind." ”

"Uh......" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a while.

When he was in junior high school, he also read online ability novels, although he knew that it was a fantasy product, and he was in reality, but the ability on the software was similar to what was described in the online novel, so it was a little bit clear, and after he understood, his mind moved, and he heard the sound of clicking in his head, and his eyes flashed, and a big virtual screen appeared in his sight.

It seems to be the interface of a computer:

To turn on the age modifier:

[Yes] [No]

*Note: Please click with your mind.

……

Zhang Cheng clicked [Yes] with his mind

The virtual screen flashed, and the interface popped up with such a content:
