Chapter 1 Ten Years of a Dream

Next Chapter

"After all, I still haven't been able to see the opening of the "Eternal" No. 1 competition in the world."

Lin Ling vaguely heard a commotion of human speech. He could barely make out that it was supposed to be a radio on the bedside table, playing what was supposed to be the opening of the tournament. It's just that he is so weak that he can't even lift his arms, he just wants to close his eyes peacefully and sleep well.

However, after closing his eyes, he couldn't sleep.

Lin Ling remembered his dull life, and a sad feeling welled up in his heart. How much he wants to have a healthy body, how much he wants to do something that young people should do, how much he wants to join the "Eternity" that has accompanied him for nearly ten years, and those professional players supported by big guilds and big manufacturers, and those rich children who have piled up real money and silver to have a happy battle, to see who is the real number one in the world!

"If God could give me a chance to do it all over again......"

Smelling the pungent smell of disinfectant water, Lin Ling began to dream again that he had been having since he was hospitalized, and began to fantasize about what he would do if God gave him a chance to do it again?

Today's dream is a little different, though.

At the end of the dream, instead of the previous gray and noisy, a glimmer of light shone in.

Bright light, the bright light of the sun.

The sun was so bright that Lin Ling could barely open his eyes, and he struggled to raise his arm to cover his eyelids.

The light is too strong, and it's uncomfortable.

Well? Why do you feel that the light is too strong?

Lin Ling raised his hands, and what caught his eyes was a pair of slender pale palms, full of muscles, full of youthful vitality, completely different from the dry and deformed palms in his memory. He sat up and looked at the compact room, which was decorated the same as it had been ten years earlier.

Same as ten years ago......

Lin Ling seemed to understand something, he jumped up, rushed into the bathroom in three steps and two steps, and looked at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, he was as healthy as he had been ten years ago, and the signs of illness had clearly not yet befallen this young body. He looked up, and the electronic calendar hanging in the mirror faithfully showed today's date: July 21, 2113.

In 2113, he had just turned eighteen years old.

A huge sense of joy surged up in Lin Ling's heart, he was reborn, he went back to ten years ago, back to when everything had just begun. But the hardships he had experienced in his previous life soon made him bow his head again.

Even if he is born again, what will he do?

Lin Ling's family has been engaged in Mars development for generations, and his parents went to Mars as early as when he was seven years old, inheriting his grandfather's business and running a Mars farm.

If there had been no accident, Lin Ling's life would have been like this.

But his life is full of accidents.

As early as when Lin Ling was five years old, he was found to have a genetic disease with a very high mortality rate, and his parents exhausted their family wealth and could not cure him, so they could only rely on drugs to suppress his condition. In the end, they had to go to Mars in advance to raise money for his illness, but they didn't expect that the situation on Mars was far from as good as they imagined, not only did they not make any money, but they also owed a lot of debt.

The creditor couldn't go to Mars, so he came to Lin Ling every once in a while to ask for money.

Lin Ling knew that his parents went to Mars to make money to treat themselves, so he didn't tell them about the creditor coming to collect debts. In order to reduce the burden on his family, he dropped out of school early, and made money by secretly working outside during the day and playing the virtual online game "Eternity" at night to make money.

When the Mars farm run by Lin Ling's parents began to make a profit, his condition deteriorated into an incurable disease, and he finally did not live past the age of twenty-eight.

The regrets of the previous life, Lin Ling decided to use this life to make up for it.

Looking at his calendar, he remembered that he had just graduated from high school at this time, and was staying at home while recuperating while waiting for college to start.

Due to his serious illness and the fact that his family owes a lot of money, Lin Ling in the previous life had a cowardly personality and was afraid of meeting acquaintances when he went out. It was for this reason that he was forced out of school by his creditors before he did not stay long at the university and was forced to go out to work. It wasn't until his parents paid off the arrears and he had a certain development in "Eternity" that his personality gradually reversed. But by that time, he was terminally ill and incurable.

In this life, Lin Ling is still poor and still has no money to repay his debts. But he is no longer the angry bag that anyone can bully, with ten years of experience and knowledge ahead, he is confident that he can still make enough money in "Eternity" to make his life a little better and shut up all his creditors!

Lin Ling calculated, "Eternity" was officially launched around mid-July, and he couldn't remember the specific time.

However, in the early stage of the game, most players are in a groping stage, and the level is generally not high, and "Eternity" has a level barrier, and the gap of a week is not fatal.

Instead of rushing to play with the gaming equipment he had at home, he grabbed a gaming helmet and wallet and went out to catch a bus to a specialty store in the city center to exchange for a special equipment for Eternity.

"Eternity" uses next-generation deep sleep technology, which does not consume much energy for the user. However, the existing gaming devices on the market are mixed, and many of them do not have the ability to meet the requirements of "Eternity". Once the running data exceeds the load, it will crash and freeze frequently.

Lin Ling's best profession is mage, a profession that requires precise control. In his previous life, he entered "Eternity" in desperation, and he didn't know all aspects of "Eternity" beforehand, only that it was a game that could make money quickly, but he made frequent mistakes because of the relationship between the equipment and missed many opportunities.

Advertisements related to "Eternity" have been hung up in the shopping streets of the city center.

Lin Ling stepped into a store specializing in "Eternity" gaming equipment, which was also the first store in the city specializing in "Eternity" special gaming equipment. The atmosphere in the store was different from what he remembered, it was a little too empty, as if it had been swept away.

Lin Ling had a bad premonition in his heart, he put the game helmet on the counter, and said to the sales lady, "I want to exchange for a special equipment for "Eternity". ”

"Sorry, the dedicated gaming equipment for Eternity has been sold out. If you want, you can only make a reservation. The sales lady said helplessly.

"Where's the sample?" Lin Ling stared at the shelves, but found that there were only a few packaging boxes left on the shelves that should be dazzling, and even the samples were gone.

"They bought all the gaming equipment." The sales lady pointed to a group of young people dressed in uniform and carrying cardboard boxes, walking out of the store.

"Wait." Lin Ling caught up with them and asked, "Why did you buy so many special game equipment?" ”

"Yes, of course." A young man with two mustaches looked at Lin Ling strangely.

"You obviously don't need that much, do you?" Lin Ling guessed that these people might be from some guild or club, and they purchased special equipment to enter "Eternity". He said with a shy face, "Look, I'm going to play this game too, and you've all bought it, what should I do?" How about you even me? ”

The young man with the mustache was also an ordinary player, and when he saw that Lin Ling was sincere, he moved his heart of compassion, turned his head and shouted to the mixed-race beauty who was directing the workers to load the game equipment outside the door: "Leader, someone wants to have a game helmet." ”

"Who?"

The mixed-race beauty in a black T-shirt turned her head, Lin Ling only glanced at her, and then subconsciously called out her name: "Li Linda? ”

"You know me?" The tall, well-fitted woman with both Eastern and Western charm walked to the door of the store and straightened her chest. That wave-like shaking made Lin Ling really feel sorry for that T-shirt, often rubbing so violently, even if the fabric was good, it wouldn't last long, right?

"I've heard of it." Lin Ling said half-truthfully.

In later generations, Li Linda, the overlord flower with the name of the Valkyrie, can be described as famous.

As the only person in "Eternity" who has solved the puzzle of the Dragon Knight Mission, although Li Linda is not a character among the top ten, her strength is no less than that of those who rank at the bottom of the top ten. Her love-hate entanglement with the Sword Saint Wa Huang among the top ten is often talked about.

Li Linda is also a member of the top guild "Hammer of Doom", and the Hammer of Doom Club behind it is a local star club, which has won several championships, and successive mayors have favored the club.

"Really?" The current Li Linda is like a dusty orb, just a vase used by the hammer of doom to attract popularity, and has not yet been discovered of its true value. She saw Lin Ling carrying a half-old game helmet with her, and asked with some curiosity, "You are also a person in the circle?" ”

Lin Ling knew that Li Linda was talking about the professional circle, and the news that he could exchange any game equipment for the special equipment of "Eternity" originally circulated from the professional circle. He shook his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary passerby. ”

"Passers-by? Interesting, bring a registration form. Li Linda said to a club staff member beside him, and after a while, a staff member handed a form to Lin Ling.

"This batch of special game equipment has been set up to belong to the guild, if you want, you can only fill out a registration form." Li Linda narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox.

Lin Ling thought about it was nothing more than the guild mark with the gavel of doom before the name, it was no big deal. For him, who has superhuman experience and knowledge, it doesn't matter if there is a guild or not. Eternity is not the kind of game that you used to have to play with a group of people to be comfortable. As long as you have the ability, you can have a good time.

He looked at the registration form, the Hammer of Doom is worthy of being a top-level guild, there are no overlord clauses, and even membership fees are not charged. The only thing that is debatable is that you are not allowed to join other guilds within half a year after quitting the guild, and the offender will have to pay a penalty equivalent to the two game equipment applied for to the Doom Hammer Club.

"If I agree to this clause, does that mean I can take a gaming helmet right away?"

Lin Ling asked, pointing to that clause.

"It's also a guild benefit." Li Linda smiled lightly, and the club staff next to her moved her lips, wanting to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Li Linda glared at her fiercely, and immediately closed her mouth in amusement.

"Whoa."

Lin Ling handed the signed registration form to Li Linda.

"Very well, from today onwards, you are my man." Li Linda patted Lin Ling's shoulder and said a very ambiguous sentence.

"Congratulations on getting on the thief ship."

The young man with two mustaches hugged a cardboard box and handed it to Lin Ling, and he also looked very optimistic about him.

Inexplicably, he got a game device, and Lin Ling couldn't pull his face and went home immediately. He did some chores for the people of the Hammer of Doom, and chatted about "Eternity", but he didn't expect to get him a lunch. Although the food is a little unsatisfactory, it is much better than eating instant noodles at home.

In the afternoon, Li Linda led them to visit the newly built headquarters building of the Hammer of Doom for a while, and looked at the working environment of the main members of the Hammer of Doom.

After taking a group photo with the main members of the Hammer of Doom, they went to the cafeteria to have dinner at the hospitality of Li Linda before going home.

When he got home, Lin Ling put on a game helmet and turned on the device.

When the incomparably familiar system prompt sounded in his ears, he couldn't help but whisper: "I'm back, Eternity!" ”
