Chapter 1: Endless Space
It's midday in the summer, the scorching sun scorches the earth, and the rising heat dances in the air on the concrete asphalt pavement.
In a dark, damp alley, a teenager can be seen lying in a pool of blood at the moment.
The boy was struck the head, and red blood slowly flowed from the back of his head, staining the ground red.
"It's so hot......"
"What's wrong with me...... I don't have the strength to ......."
"That's right...... Am I dying......"
Lin Xuan, who had lost too much blood, was seriously deprived of oxygen in his brain at the moment, and even if he was found and sent to the hospital, he was destined to be incurable.
Just when his consciousness was about to blur, the blood on the ground stained the white jade pendant on his chest, and a faint white light suddenly enveloped his body, and memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
The time when he grew up with the girl in the orphanage is vivid, and the beautiful shadow and sweet smile of the girl appear in his mind one by one, and finally the memory is fixed on the girl's miserable white face.
"No... I can't die yet! I want revenge! I can't die!! Lin Xuan shouted frantically in his heart.
At this moment, the white light that shrouded Lin Xuan's body was sheng, and a voice sounded in his head:
"Do you want to start a new life......"
"Do you want to have endless power......"
"Do you want to fulfill your heart's desire......
"Once you have made a choice, there is no way back...... Would you like to enter the endless space ......"
Hearing this ethereal voice, Lin Xuan's brain was first confused, and then responded frantically:
"I can't die yet! I do! …… I'm willing to enter! ”
After getting Lin Xuan's response, the voice sounded in his mind again:
"Reincarnation No. 24199 found to match Endless Space......"
"Samsara 24199 agrees to enter the Endless Space ......"
"Warning! Warn! Samsara 24199 has severe brain damage! Start auto-healing! The first repair is free, and the automatic repair is ......"
The wound on the back of Lin Xuan's head was shrouded in white light, healing at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, and it actually healed in less than a moment! Even his originally pale face gradually regained its ruddy color at this moment.
After the white light dissipated, Lin Xuan's body had already disappeared into the alley, leaving only the pool of red blood on the ground......
"Entering the ...... of the Endless World"
"Start Data Matching ......"
"Begin to assimilate characters into the world......"
"Start entering the world of thrilling games......
"Japan developed an online game called Btooom in 2067, in which there are no other thermal weapons, only the player uses a bomb called BIM to attack the player, and after killing 8 players and collecting 8 clearance items, it is a victory. And the game's Japanese development company, Tyrannosjapan, due to some unknown secret, has developed a live-action btooom, throwing people into isolated islands, and letting them kill each other with bombs, its name is shocking games! ……”
As the last voice disappeared, Lin Xuan's eyes darkened and he didn't know anything......
"I'm so dizzy......" Lin Xuan, who had regained consciousness, sat up and subconsciously touched the back of his head, but he didn't feel the imaginary pain and the existence of the wound.
"What's going on?" When he opened his eyes completely, he was greeted not by the smell of disinfectant in the hospital room he had imagined, but by a mechanical steel airplane cabin.
"On a plane? What's going on? Lin Xuan was stunned, looking at the scene in front of him with nearly a hundred people, rubbing his eyes, and then glancing at the porthole in disbelief, there were white clouds floating outside from time to time, and he could even see the blue ocean below.
But even a person like Lin Xuan, who had never been on a plane, had no time to enjoy this kind of scenery at the moment.
The air flow surging in the air at high altitude caused the plane to stir violently, and although the crowd in the entire cabin did not stagger, their faces were not very good-looking, and some people who were airsick even squatted down and began to vomit......
Lin Xuan grabbed his unkempt hair, trying to remember what had happened before.
"Xiaoxiao died in a car accident, and I was broken in the back of my head by the thugs sent by the perpetrator......" fragments kept coming to his mind, but he still didn't find any information that satisfied him.
"What the hell is going on? Why am I here? After Lin Xuan looked around, his brows furrowed slightly, because he had already noticed more than a dozen "robbers" in the cabin with guns and black hoods on their heads.
Ignoring the noisy crowd in the cabin, they stared at an LCD screen at the front of the room, apparently waiting for something.
"Kidnapping?" Lin Xuan quietly moved backwards, wanting to exchange information with others, and by the way, stay away from these dangerous elements with firearms.
But just as he had moved a short distance, he bumped into a transparent light curtain.
"This is ......" Just when Lin Xuan was puzzled, a familiar voice suddenly sounded:
"You can't enter the world at this time, and the people in the world won't be aware of your presence. There are now eight minutes and eight seconds left before the official entry into the world, and you can look up additional information in the meantime......"
The sudden sound in his ears startled Lin Xuan, but it also reminded him of the words he heard before in a pool of blood.
"Endless space?" Lin Xuan muttered, he vaguely remembered that he had lost too much blood at that time, and he may have had auditory hallucinations, but now he had no wounds at all, and the scene in front of him had to make him think.
"You have six minutes and thirty seconds left to ask the question...... ethereal voice rang out again, interrupting his thoughts.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me what Endless Space is?" ”
"Endless Space is a collective name for many parallel spaces, and all you need to do is complete every mission that Space has issued to you to clear the world." The voice answered.
“…… Why do you want to do the task you said, and what are the benefits? Lin Xuan asked again.
"Those who fail to complete the task will be obliterated by the space, and you will be able to get the corresponding rewards for clearing the world."
"Rewards? What are the rewards? If it's just money, I'd like to get out of here and go back to my original world, where there are still important things to do. Lin Xuan also calmed down at this moment and raised his own questions.
"The rewards for clearing the level can be used to strengthen yourself, as long as you clear enough worlds, becoming a superman is not a problem at all. And it's not parallel to the real world, even if you stay here for a month, it's only 30 minutes since you come back to the real world. The space is also humane, and it directly answered Lin Xuan's two concerns.
After hearing that he could return to the original world, Lin Xuan was also excited, and once again confirmed to the space.
And the answer that Space gave him was simple: "As long as you can live." ”
"Three minutes left before entering the world, do you want to check the mission menu."
Lin Xuan also wanted to ask some more questions about the space, but he was always reminded that the permission was insufficient, and when he saw that the time was not enough, he had to give up and bring up the task menu.
A series of menus appeared on the light curtain in front of him, and as far as Lin Xuan's eyes could see, the information was immediately displayed:
"Scene: Explosion Game Act 1-1, current location: in the cabin of a transport aircraft. Difficulty: Average (grade C). No pain nerf, 0% melee ability enhancement. This scene is an assessment scene, and only after clearing the scene can you officially enter the endless world and obtain the corresponding permissions such as storage space. Is the digital character information mode enabled? ”
"Storage? I'm not going to be in a sci-fi movie. Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile.
Without having time to think about it, Lin Xuan clicked on the digital character information mode, and another column of information popped up:
"Number 24199 Information: Strength 3 (5), Agility 5 (5), Stamina 3 (5), Mental Power 10 (5). Figures in parentheses are the average values for healthy adult men in their thirties. After the mental power falls below 1, the character will enter a deep coma.
Strength determines your damage and explosiveness.
Agility determines the character's speed of action and evasion.
Stamina determines your vitality, stamina, resistance to ailments, and ability to take damage.
Mental power determines the use and power of some skills, which is the embodiment of willpower. ”
"Warning: Digitization of physical state only provides an intuitive digital cognition of the body, but all injuries and physical rules still follow the reality - even if you have a major organ in your body, such as the brain and heart, even if you have a constitution of 50, you can still be fatal by a blow, and when your vitality is below single digits, you will not die from a fall."
Lin Xuan compared it and found that his spiritual power was twice that of ordinary people, presumably because he often used his brain and his innate advantage. But the rest of his stats are miserable, especially the strength and physical strength related to fighting, which are much lower than normal.
Just when Lin Xuan was still studying and digesting this information, the information on the light curtain changed again:
Main Quest 1: Kill at least 7 contestants with your own hands and get their chips, Difficulty (C)
Side quest 1 (Collector's Fetish): Collect 8 different types of BIM bombs, difficulty (C)
Side quest 2 (Survivor): Survive and survive on the island for 5 days, difficulty (d)
Complete the main quest to pass the test of Endless Space, and you can immediately enter Endless Space.
Consequences of not being able to complete the task: erase!
At the end, the bloody erasure of the word emitted a miserable red light, which made people shudder.
"Erase ...... Lin Xuan looked at the bloody erased word and fell into deep thought.
