001: Hit stupid
Alex. Diaz sat in the car, his hands on the steering wheel, stunned.
It was a quiet morning, and he was driving and drinking coffee as he prepared to start his day at his small restaurant.
It was an ordinary day that looked no different than ever.
But while driving, Diaz accidentally spilled hot coffee on his lap.
The middle-aged man in his 40s immediately reflexively picked up the paper and began to wipe the hot liquid on his pants, and was momentarily distracted.
Then, it all happened.
"Bang!"
By the time Diaz heard the noise and braked hard and regained his head, a man had collapsed on the zebra crossing in front of his car.
Seeing the man fall to the ground and unresponsive, old Diaz was terrified.
He knew that from this moment on, the ordinary day had left him.
He's in trouble, he's in trouble!
After coming to his senses, Diaz hurriedly got out of the car, ready to step forward to check on the man who fell to the ground.
Diaz has been honest all his life and has never done anything out of the ordinary. In the eyes of his neighbors, he is also a good husband and father with a great sense of responsibility.
Hit-and-run? That's not something he can do.
Besides, in this small town with a small population, in this era of surveillance on the streets, it is simply impossible to escape responsibility.
"Sir, how are you?" Diaz shouted as he cautiously approached the man on the ground.
But after shouting, the man who fell to the ground still did not react. And judging by the amount of bleeding from his head, the situation is not optimistic.
Just as Diaz was about to continue approaching, the man on the ground, who had been unresponsive and had a bloody face, suddenly sat up.
"Oh, Fake!"
Diaz screamed and took a step back, he was startled as he felt as if his pants were being soaked with a stream of warm liquid.
Diaz didn't see the man on the ground, or rather, the boy, until now.
Although he was very tall, the man who fell to the ground had a very young face, and he looked as if he was only about twenty years old.
The most unusual thing is that the boy he knocked down has an Asian face.
Before Diaz could calm down, the boy who suddenly sat up began to curse.
The boy seemed to be furious, but Diaz didn't understand a word of what he said. Because what he was swearing was not English, but something that Diaz was not familiar with.
", don't you know how to give way to pedestrians!? Didn't you see a red light!? How did you get to the zebra crossing and suddenly accelerate......"
Halfway through the scolding, the boy somehow suddenly froze again, and the scolding stopped abruptly.
He looked around in astonishment, the expression on his face changing from anger to surprise.
The boy remembered that he did seem to have been hit by a car, but the place of the incident was not in this completely unfamiliar place.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? The boy muttered to himself.
His name is Wayne, an ordinary person who has just graduated from college, and he lives a 996 life every day from the company to the rental house, and he doesn't even have time to set up a stall.
Wayne's life is very ordinary, he is not rich, he has no girlfriend and no rich father, but at least he can barely survive.
One day, on his way home from work, he was crossing the street when he was hit by a speeding car that ran a red light.
Wayne had fainted, and now when he woke up again, everything around him had changed.
There were no familiar blue license plates, no familiar streets, and no barbecue stands around the corner.
Instead, there was a completely unfamiliar environment, an old pickup truck and a bearded man with his pants wet and smelling...... Gringo?
Wait, I was knocked out and flew abroad?
At that moment, there was a sharp pain in Wayne's head.
A series of memories that didn't belong to him poured into his brain like a flood.
Before Wayne could carefully "digest" the memories, Diaz leaned in again.
"You're awake, kid! I'll take you to the hospital! ”
"Uh......" Vane looked at the bearded gringo in front of him suspiciously, he hadn't yet figured out what was going on.
The other party spoke in English, but Wayne understood every word he said.
Although Wayne's English score was indeed good in the college entrance examination, after four years of "hard study" in college, he had already returned that knowledge to the teacher.
Could it be the memories that just flooded into my head?
"Let's go, you've got a lot of blood on your head. Don't worry, I'll take the initiative to call the police when I get to the hospital. At the moment, the safety of your life is paramount, child. ”
Seeing Wayne sitting on the ground in a daze, Diaz took the initiative to help him up, thinking that the child was frightened.
When Wayne stood up, Diaz found himself having to talk to Wayne with his head held high.
"This ...... It's so short......" Wayne pouted as he looked at the gringo in front of him.
This guy, how did he get to his chest, didn't he say that Europeans and Americans are tall and big?
Wayne, who has been fixed at 1.73 meters since his sophomore year of high school, rarely has this feeling of "superiority" on weekdays.
Could it be that this gringo doesn't even have 1.6 meters?
But soon Wayne noticed that not only was the bearded gringo in front of him short, but other things around him, such as trash cans, street lights, etc., seemed to have become a lot shorter.
With a bewildered look, Wayne didn't even know how he got into the car, he just felt uncomfortable in the car, as if he was squeezed into a small three-wheeler.
Why does everything here seem to be scaled down? Even the car has become much smaller.
And...... Wait a minute...... Why did Wayne vaguely feel that there was still a smell of urine in the car?
The bearded pants just now were wet, could it be ......
"I'm sorry kid, I admit I just got distracted while driving. But don't worry, I'm not going to get away with it. Diaz said, almost crying.
Grandma's legs, the emergency bill in the United States is not a joke with you.
It's really hard to be an honest person.
"Take responsibility...... Wayne's head started to hurt again, what is this? He remembered that he had been hit at an intersection outside the community.
"You're really tall, more than 2 meters tall, right? Are you a basketball player? Seeing Wayne's reaction, Diaz immediately started a new topic.
Diaz wasn't actually in the mood to make small talk with Wayne right now, he was just worried that Wayne would faint again, so he kept talking to him to help him stay awake.
"Basketball players?" Wayne continued to mumble to himself.
The word basketball player was like a switch, making the cloudy memories that had just been poured into his brain gradually clear.
In this new memory, he is still called Wayne, but no longer an ordinary college graduate, but a sophomore in the NCAA.
Wayne's father was a former professional basketball player, and briefly played in the A-League, which was not yet known as the CBA, in the late '90s.
Of course, Wayne's father was not well-known and did not play for the national team.
And the wages of athletes in those days were about the same as those of ordinary workers, so Wayne's family was not wealthy, quite ordinary.
Wayne also liked basketball since he was a child, and because he inherited his father's genes, he grew taller than ordinary children.
This would explain why everything around them has become shorter, not that they have become shorter, but that Wayne is now taller than before!
After graduating from high school, for various reasons, Wayne was sent to the United States to study abroad, and completed his education while playing.
Finally, the four numbers 2003 appeared in Wayne's head.
Well, this is the year now......
As the memory gradually became clearer, Wayne's mouth opened little by little.
I'm crossing over!?
Wayne has always been a lover of online literature, and has fantasized about this kind of thing many times.
But now that I really encounter it, it is difficult to accept it for a while.
After all...... He instantly aged more than ten years, from the post-90s to the post-80s.
And the game "Cyberpunk 2077", which Wayne has been waiting for, has been postponed several times, and it is clear that it will be released in more than two months.
It's good now, but it's another 17 years to wait!
It's magical!
2020 is indeed a magical year.
In the past, Wayne had been shouting that it would be nice if 2020 could be read and restarted like a game, but he didn't expect that he really got such an opportunity.
Merely...... It's too early to reopen this game, right.....
In this era when there are no smartphones and no developed network environment, isn't life unpretentious and boring?
"Wait......" After roughly sorting out his new memory, Wayne couldn't help but look at his hands.
In other words, he is now a basketball player?
Although only an NCAA player, ...... Does this mean that you have the opportunity to be a basketball star, enter the NBA, attract money like crazy, and win Bai Fumei?
In his previous life, Wayne was a deep basketball fan, and as a fan, who hasn't crooked himself to become a part of the NBA superstar?
Being a basketball star, both in the past and now, has always been the ultimate dream in Wayne's heart.
Well, for Wayne, who had been mediocre in his previous life and couldn't even get into the high school varsity team, this is more of a fantasy than a dream.
However, judging from Wayne's new memory, although he plays in the NCAA, he doesn't seem to be doing well......
The reality is so cruel, as a veteran fan in his previous life, Wayne knew that no player in China could successfully enter the NBA stage through the NCAA.
There are only a few Chinese players who can play in the NBA, how can such a good thing fall on their heads.
It seems that the dream has been shattered before it has even begun.
Like the novel "Reverse Growth Superstar", the protagonist inexplicably won Grant. The kind of thing that Hill is capable of is really only a plot that only appears in novels.
"Hey, my head hurts...... I don't know if it's because of the memories of two people in my head or because I just got hit by a car, Wayne's head hurts again.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, and slowly opened them when the pain subsided.
But when Wayne reopened his eyes, he was stunned by what he saw.
The words "the system has been activated" appeared in front of Wayne's eyes!
"This ...... Crossing benefits have arrived!? ”
Wayne was about to take a closer look at the interface in front of him, but the words were dissipated by Diaz's slamming brakes.
"We're at the hospital, kid." Diaz turned his head and shouted.
“QTMD!” Wayne couldn't help but scold, if his plug-in was lost by this old man, he promised that he would fight with that beard.
"Tomatoes?" Diaz looked at Wayne in disbelief and scratched his head.
This kid, I'm afraid he wasn't stupid, right?
