Chapter 3: Crossing Contra

"Oh! The school holds an event, and I came back when I was idle and had nothing to do. ”

Sun Wenhao is talking nonsense.

"Really?"

Mother apparently didn't believe it.

Sun Wenhao unzipped and grabbed something wrapped in newspaper from his backpack.

"This is 20,000 yuan, auntie, you take it first. I will find a way to return the remaining 30,000 to you as soon as possible. ”

"This ...... Wen Hao, where did you get the money? ”

The aunt said in astonishment.

Sun Wenhao did not answer, but said in a low voice.

"Auntie, you have also seen my mother's situation, and I will return the money to you. Stop bothering my mom, okay? ”

Since my father's death, my mother has been so mentally fluctuating, with slight schizophrenia.

She didn't want to believe her father's departure, and always regarded Sun Wenhao as her husband Sun Xiucheng.

After receiving the money, the aunt was in a good mood.

"Wen Hao, they are all a family, and my aunt sympathizes with you. But my aunt can't help it, she is all tired by life. ”

Sun Wenhao ignored her, and when he saw his mother, he wore an autumn coat.

"Mom, it's so cold at night. Why don't you wear one, beware of catching a cold. ”

The aunt felt bored, put the money in her satchel, and walked out of the door with high heels.

"Xiaomei, Wen Hao, aunt is gone."

"Walk slowly."

Outside the house, there was a "buzz!" from the start of the electric car. Sound.

After the sound was inaudible, the mother grabbed Sun Wenhao's hand, which was very cold and rough.

"Wen Hao, why do you have so much money? Tell Mom honestly, where did this come from. ”

"Mom, don't worry," Mr. Sun said.

"Part of it was earned by me doing part-time this year, and the other part was my scholarship."

"Earned by part-time work?" Mother was a little worried,

"Then don't you delay your studies?"

"Don't worry!"

Sun Wenhao packed the ticket.

The mother relieved herself, "It's good that you're back, your father has been thinking about you and wants to have a drink with you." He's been working overtime lately. I came back very late, and I fell asleep every day. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sun Wenhao was silent, his eyes were a little moist, and his nose was very sore.

He didn't know if his mother would be able to hold on after he went to heaven to see his father more than 20 days later.

"That's right, Wen Hao. Have you eaten it? ”

Mother asked.

"Oh! I ate it, and I still have ham sausages in my bag. Mom, go to bed, you're so cold. ”

"How about just eating that!" Mother said with a straight face.

"You wait, Mom will give you a scrambled egg fried rice. Today the old hen in the house just gave birth. Freshest. ”

"Hey! Mom, no need......"

Sun Wenhao shouted at his mother's back.

"Mom, you go and add some clothes first."

"Got it......"

My mother was only in her early forties, and now her hair was gray, and her crow's feet had grown round and round.

It's only been a few years since I quit my job and I'm at home and I'm emaciated like this.

You must know that when my father was alive, my mother was a very famous office goddess, and her charm even overshadowed the youngest and most beautiful girl in the office.

It makes all the male compatriots salivate and admire.

The smell of shallots, eggs, and lard wafted from outside the house......

Sun Wenhao came back to his senses, walked to the square table against the wall in the room, grabbed the telephone on it and tinkered with it......

After eating, washing, and lying in bed.

Sun Wenhao thought a lot......

"What should I do? How can you get money quickly. Robbery? Kidnap? Swindle? No way...... Mom knew it was going to be sad. ”

"Maybe I can buy personal life insurance and then the beneficiary writes my mother's ......"

……

The next morning, when she came back from selling breakfast, the more her mother Jiang Mei thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

How could the academy suddenly be on vacation.

She had to call and ask.

Just called the college......

In the room, Sun Wenhao's domestic mobile phone rang.

After looking at the caller ID, Sun Wenhao's serious face showed a smile.

"This is xx university xx, how can I help you?"

Sun Wenhao asked in a different voice.

The mother's words came from the domestic mobile phone.

"Hello, I would like to ask, ...... your school"

After hanging up the phone, my mother was completely relieved.

"Really...... I knew that Wen Hao would not lie, and he would never lie since he was a child. ”

After closing the courtyard gate, she rode a dilapidated bicycle with a basket and rode out of the alley and towards the vegetable market.

"I'm sorry ......"

Sun Wenhao put down his phone.

It is estimated that he will need a household registration book to buy life insurance, but for a while he forgot where to put it, his mother went out again, and Sun Wenhao began to rummage through the cabinets.

Suddenly, his gaze froze.

In a cabinet lies a half-brand-new Overlord console.

That's right, it's the FC red and white machine that was once popular all over the world, the kind that is connected to the TV to play, with 1P, 2P two handles, and various cassettes.

Among the most popular are Contra, Super Mario, Double Dragon, and many more.

Sun Wenhao carefully took it out of the cabinet.

When he was a child, his father accompanied him to play Contra, play tank battles together, and play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles together in front of him again.

His father was an orphan, and he was the only one except his mother, and in him his father poured almost all his love.

As if magical, Sun Wenhao felt that before he died, he had to experience the childlike joy of his childhood again.

Very skillfully connect the Xiaobawang and the indoor TCL ace color TV.

He grabbed out a total of more than a dozen cartridges in the cabinet and inserted them into the card slots one by one to try the game.

Due to the age, almost all the cassettes were scrapped, just when Sun Wenhao was about to give up, sighing that God didn't even want to let himself realize such a little dream of a dying person.

The last Contra cartridge was successfully activated.

Looking at the familiar picture of Lance and Bill swiping from right to left on the TV.

The familiar music simply brought Sun Wenhao to tears.

Especially the last explosion almost exploded in the bottom of his heart.

Holding the handle with trembling hands, Sun Wenhao pressed the 1P eraser start button with his thumb.

Suddenlyβ€”

The entire TV screen went black, and a swirling vortex appeared on it.

Sun Wenhao didn't have time to tell what was going on.

I felt my head go black, and a stereotypical voice sounded in my head......

[The dream system is in symbiosis with the host, and the initialization is beginning to ......]

[Initialization Completed!] Synchronization with the host is successful! 】

[Everyone has a dream, some people dream of becoming a scientist, some people dream of being rich, and some people dream of being above ten thousand people. 】

[So what is your dream......]

"My dream?"

"My Dream ......"

"Live!"

After a period of half-dreaming and half-awake nothingness passed, Sun Wenhao suddenly felt that his eyes lit up.

He found himself in a jungle with large green coconut trees and pale yellow sand beneath them.

In the distance, there is an endless blue sea, with a little white seagulls spreading their wings and flying on the surface, and a salty sea breeze blowing in from afar.

The sea crashes against the reef and makes a surging sound.

A sand crab nests in the sand with kelp wrapped around its carapace.

Everything is so real.

Sun Wenhao frowned.

"Where am I?"

"Could it be the world of Contra?"

[The system gives the host decathlon modifier, and the signal is transmitting, 1% ......]

The old-fashioned words that suddenly popped up in his mind startled Sun Wenhao.

After waiting for a while, Sun Wenhao found that the progress was still 1%, and it seemed that it would be impossible to complete it without a moment and a half.

[System Words: This world is the Contra World, the real world time and space have been relatively stagnant, and the host's life state has been reset. 】

"Health reset? It's hard to ......"

Sun Wenhao felt it, and the feeling of chest tightness and chest congestion in the real world disappeared out of thin air.

I did a chest expansion exercise and threw a few hard punches into the air.

It's a really great feeling!

Sun Wenhao is sure that he is now very healthy.

He's really not going to die in the game world because of illness.

[System Present: The ultimate main quest in this world - in the remaining life of the game cartridge, obtain the blueprint of the Super Gene Mixture formula. 】

[Super Gene Mixture: (Use) Repair and change your genes to the most perfect genes of human beings. 】

[System Words: The remaining life of this game cartridge - three years. The countdown has begun. 】

[System Message: If the ultimate main quest in this world fails or the host dies in this world (no game respawns) or the life of the game cartridge runs out, the host will be forcibly kicked out of the game world.] 】

The information is not very much and is easy to understand.

What makes Sun Wenhao really care and really interest is the super gene mixture.

The medical level of the real world can't repair his congenital missing gene fragments at all, but the black technology, Super Gene Mixture, can.

Sun Wenhao finally understood the meaning of "living".

The dream system is really helping him to fulfill his dream of "living".

It's just that the road can be a bit winding.

It is to obtain the blueprint of the Super Gene Synthesis recipe in this world, and then collect the materials to successfully make the Synthesis for your own use.

[System Present: Continuous Main Mission (Optional) A, enlist in the Federal Recruit Battalion and become a Federal Recruit. 】

[System Present: Continuous Main Quest (Optional) B, enlist in the Garuga Pirate Boot Camp and become a pirate minion. 】

[System Present: Continuous Main Quest (Optional) C, enlist in one of the King Kong, Mad Dog, and Scorpion Mercenary Groups, and become a rookie mercenary. 】

Sun Wenhao chose A without hesitation, although the current world of Contra is obviously not just the tip of the iceberg reflected in the FC game, but the whole world.

But after clearing the customs so many times, Sun Wenhao still clearly knows that the surviving Earth Federation Organization is the most powerful existence in this world.

Because they can produce the most powerful warrior in the world - Contra.

The meaning of Contra is a person with excellent fighting awareness and qualities, it is a title given to the strongest warrior, the strongest fighter.

is different from the American version of Contra, the Japanese version of Contra has a plot, in which the Earth Federation is actually in power is the "Big Three".

But he can't be sure for the time being, after all, a game is a game, and now what he has crossed into is a "Contra World" with a global scope.

Because there are "Garuba pirates" and "King Kong, mad dogs, and poisonous scorpions" that have never been heard of.

It's not surprising that there are any other organizational forces.
