Chapter 1: The Mysterious Old Man
Because of a car accident, Nie Xuan lost his parents, and Nie Xuan, who had no other relatives, was adopted by the orphanage, and grew up slowly, I don't know what the reason is, the little friends around him were taken away and adopted, but he was always alone.
Nie Xuan finally graduated from college and found a job that suits him, Nie Xuan put all his energy into work, Nie Xuan hopes that through his own efforts, he can change his unfortunate fate, and like everyone else, he can have a happy life.
But fate seems to have been playing a joke on Nie Xuan all along.
This morning Nie Xuan was on the way to the company, suddenly fainted, and was sent to the hospital by a well-wisher, and the well-wisher also paid Nie Xuan for the examination, when Nie Xuan woke up, only a middle-aged male doctor was left next to his bed, the doctor asked Nie Xuan to be psychologically prepared, and then handed Nie Xuan a test report, when Nie Xuan saw the back of the test report, the big three words 'leukemia', Nie Xuan was stunned.
"Young man, leukemia is actually not as scary as you think, as long as you can find a suitable bone marrow for transplantation, there is still a good chance of recovery." Seeing Nie Xuan's expression, the doctor hurriedly comforted.
Nie Xuan didn't seem to hear the doctor's words, he still looked at the test report in a daze, and after a while, Nie Xuan laughed again, and then tore the test report to shreds.
Obviously, it is not the first time that the doctor has experienced such a thing, and he did not panic, and continued to comfort: "Young man, leukemia is really not terrible, you don't have to be too pessimistic, you stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, we will help you find a matching bone marrow, and then arrange a treatment plan." ”
Nie Xuan looked at the doctor and asked, "Are you sure you can find a matching bone marrow?" ”
"Now that the online medical database is complete, we believe that we will soon be able to find a matching bone marrow." The doctor replied in the affirmative.
Nie Xuan nodded and asked, "If a matching bone marrow is found, how much treatment is needed?" ”
"It's a complicated question, and depending on the situation, it may take anywhere from 500,000 to 1 million." The doctor replied.
"Okay, I got it." Nie Xuan replied.
The doctor wanted to say something, but Nie Xuan pulled out the needle from his hand, put on leather shoes, and walked straight out the door.
Nie Xuan actually knew that he had no future when he saw the test report, not to mention whether he could find bone marrow, even if he could find bone marrow, the success rate of bone marrow transplantation was not high, and Nie Xuan had just worked for a short time, and it was even more impossible for him to have so much money for bone marrow transplantation, so Nie Xuan laughed, for his ridiculous fate.
Nie Xuan walked aimlessly on the street with his head down, not knowing where he should go, thinking about his previous bits and pieces in his head, as well as his previous beautiful yearning for the future life, Nie Xuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
I don't know how far I went, where I went, Nie Xuan seemed to understand something, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, maybe he left this world silently with only sadness alone, it is also a good choice, since the director of the orphanage, grandpa, passed away, is there any person or thing in this world that is worth nostalgic for?
Nie Xuan raised his head hard and told himself: Even if fate is so unfair to him, even if he leaves, he should not be like a coward, he should face death with a smile.
As soon as he raised his head, Nie Xuan saw a black off-road vehicle speeding around the corner in front of him, and there happened to be a white-haired old man in a black tunic on the zebra crossing in the middle of the road not far from him, bent over his waist, trembling with a white crutch and trying to walk towards the opposite street, the off-road vehicle seemed to not see anyone in the middle of the road, and there was no sign of braking.
At the last moment, Nie Xuan rushed forward in a few steps to pull the old man back, but the off-road vehicle was already in front of him, and it was too late at all, out of instinctive reaction, Nie Xuan had to hold the old man in his arms at once, so that the old man could reduce the damage caused by the impact as much as possible, only to hear the 'bang', Nie Xuan felt a sharp pain in his back, and the whole person flew out with the old man.
Nie Xuan fell heavily to the ground, lay on the ground, and looked at the blue sky: when his life was about to end, he had done at least one good deed, and it seemed that his life still had a little meaning.
With no strength in his whole body, Nie Xuan closed his eyes and felt very sleepy, he had never been so sleepy.
"Nie Xuan, wake up."
Nie Xuan felt that someone tapped him on the face a few times, as if someone was calling him, but he was already dead, could this be what was said on TV, people hallucinate when they are about to die?
"Nie Xuan, wake up quickly."
Nie Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were no longer the sky, but the face of an old man with a wrinkled face appeared, the old man stared at him with a smile on his face, and the old man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Nie Xuan hurriedly struggled to get up from the ground, looked around, there was a boundless white, no road, no sky, no off-road vehicles, houses, all gone, but the old man in front of him was a little familiar, white hair, black tunics, rickety waist, white crutches, isn't this the old man just now?
"You...... Who are you? Where is this? How do you know my name? Nie Xuan's heart was full of surprise and doubt.
The old man looked at Nie Xuan's appearance and laughed: "Who I am, you don't care about it for now, as for why I know your name, this is a long story, but I know far more than you think." ”
After speaking, the old man didn't know where to go, so he took out a document bag, and then threw it to Nie Xuan: "Look at this." ”
Open the file bag, inside the file bag is a file, Nie Xuan opened the file, the first page is Nie Xuan's personal information, date of birth, family relationship, including a brief description of his life experience, Nie Xuan turned another page, it is a picture, it is the picture of Nie Xuan's parents accidentally died in a car accident when he was a child, and there are some introductory texts below, Nie Xuan is page by page back, the content is all pictures, just like someone holding a camera to follow him, recording his life experience of growing up little by little for more than ten years, Until the last page, it was the picture of Nie Xuan tearing up the test report in the hospital this morning and laughing.
Nie Xuan closed the file, looked at the smiling old man in front of him and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"I can't explain it to you right now, but I have a question for you, do you want to change your fate?" The old man asked.
"Huh, my fate?" Nie Xuan smiled bitterly: "Has my fate changed?" I'm dead. ”
"If you die, do you think I'm a ghost?" The old man asked.
"Aren't you the ghost who came to catch my soul?" Nie Xuan thought that the old man was some kind of bull head and horse noodles or something, otherwise all this would be difficult to explain.
When the old man heard this, he laughed again: "I'm not a ghost, I'm a big living person, and you're not dead." ”
"Impossible, I was obviously ...... by the car just now in order to save you" Nie Xuan said this, and suddenly pointed at the old man and asked, "It's you...... You were in the middle of the road just now, and I was hit by a car in order to save you, and you designed to frame me! ”
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I deliberately framed you in the car accident just now." ”
Hearing the old man's admission, Nie Xuan was furious, and stepped forward and pulled the old man's collar and asked loudly: "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?" ”
The old man was dragged by Nie Xuan's collar, and he was not angry, but still asked with a smile: "Have you ever thought about why should I harm you since I have no grudge against you?" If I really want you to die, I don't have to do anything at all, because you're not far from death, aren't you? ”
Nie Xuan felt that what the old man said was quite reasonable, he had leukemia, even if he didn't have a car accident today, he was not far from death, and the old man didn't need to harm himself at all.
Seeing that Nie Xuan didn't speak, the old man patted the back of Nie Xuan's hand and motioned for Nie Xuan to let go of himself: "Nie Xuan, you don't have to be so nervous, you just need to answer the question I just asked, do you want to change your fate?" ”
Nie Xuan let go of his hand and replied, "I want to, I think about it in my dreams." ”
"If you want to change your fate, then you need to participate in a game, if your performance is outstanding enough, we can give you a new life, in addition to curing your leukemia, you can also exchange the game currency 1:1 for RMB, and really change your fate." The old man said.
"Cure my leukemia? Can you still exchange RMB? You lied to me, didn't you? Nie Xuanhu asked suspiciously.
The old man shook his head and replied, "Do you think you have anything else worth deceiving me?" ”
Nie Xuan thought about it, as if he really didn't have anything worth deceiving, so he asked half-convinced, "What game are you talking about?" ”
The old man didn't know where to take out a document bag, handed it to Nie Xuan, and said, "Look at this again." ”
Nie Xuan took the file bag, opened the file, and looked at it carefully, it was an introduction document of a game, the name of the game is "Rebirth", and the file introduced some of the game rules of "Rebirth" in detail, although Nie Xuan had not played the game much, but it was not difficult to understand.
There isn't much to introduce to the game, except for the most basic, everything else is up to the player to figure out on their own.
"Playing this game can change my fate?" Nie Xuan asked.
The old man nodded and replied, "Yes, playing this game can change your fate, but you need to perform well enough in the game." ”
"What does it mean to be eye-catching?" Nie Xuan asked.
"It's hard to talk about this, it's determined by the market." The old man replied.
Nie Xuan looked at the mysterious old man in front of him, knowing that no matter what he asked, the old man would not tell him.
Although Nie Xuan still can't fully understand what is happening now, he is a dying person, so he is a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and it doesn't matter what happens.
"Then you tell me how to play this game." Nie Xuan asked.
"Ready?" The old man asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Nie Xuan replied with great certainty.
Hearing Nie Xuan's answer, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then he didn't know where to take out a crystal ball-like thing and hold it in his hand: "Then good luck." ”
After speaking, the crystal ball in the old man's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and the pain from his eyes made Nie Xuan quickly close his eyes.
After a while, Nie Xuan felt that the white light had slowly dissipated, and then slowly opened his eyes, looked around left and right, and the surroundings were no longer a white expanse, but a place like a medieval palace hall, the decoration was extremely gorgeous, golden and brilliant, and I didn't know what materials were used to build it, especially the huge 'jade' in front of him, which was more than ten meters high, which was shocking.
On the ground where Nie Xuan was standing, a circle was drawn, which said 'Waiting Area', Nie Xuan was a little overwhelmed, so he just stood in place and waited, and after about 5 minutes, the 'Jade Bi' in front of Nie Xuan suddenly lit up, like a screen, and a beautiful woman in a strange white leotard appeared on the screen with a microphone.
The beauty bowed slightly, and then took the microphone and said: "Welcome to the 27th Challenge of Rebirth, this Challenge, we have expanded the scope of player recruitment, and also increased the number of players, I believe that this Challenge will be more exciting and intense, our players are all ready, I hereby announce that the 27th "Rebirth" Challenge, officially started. ”
After the beauty finished speaking, the white light lit up around Nie Xuan again, and after the white light disappeared, Nie Xuan found that he had come to a wide stone street like a rural village, with wooden tile houses on both sides, and the street was full of people, all wearing coarse cloth clothes like himself.
It seems that he has entered the game world, Nie Xuan according to the operation introduced by the basic game of the game, as soon as his mind moved, a translucent screen suspended in the air appeared in front of his eyes, and a line of bold font where the character state reads:
Nie Xuan, Earth.
