On the weekend, Wang Xiaotian went out for a drink with a roommate who had just met, and after drinking, the two walked to the college together.

The two walked to the school gate, and Wang Xiaotian saw a statue, the statue of Lin Fei, the god of war.

The god of war who ruled mankind three thousand years ago, and the idol in the hearts of every mecha warrior.

But it is not Wang Xiaotian's idol, the hatred in Wang Xiaotian's heart, the first is the God of War system, and the second is Lin Fei.

"Zhang Ming, let's do something to prove our guts, shall we?" Wang Xiaotian said to his roommate Zhang Ming.

"What to do?"

"Pee on Lin Fei's statue and see whose bird is tall."

"Who's coming first?" After Zhang Ming looked around at no one, he said to Wang Xiaotian. Because of the high drink, the two did not have any scruples.

"I'll come first, you take the wind." Wang Xiaotian said, got into the guardrail, and came to the statue.

He took out the chalk and wrote on the metal statue that he was here as he meditated, "I will surpass yours and defeat the system in the body." ”

Then he began to unbutton his pants, took out his little brother, and peed on the metal statue carved with Lin Fei.

Urine hits the metal statue and flows downward.

"Zizizi," just as Wang Xiaotian relaxed, a strong electric current came from the water under the statue.

"Ah" The huge electric current was accompanied by a piercing pain, which directly made Wang Xiaotian faint.

"Boss, boss." Zhang Ming saw Wang Xiaotian faint and shouted loudly.

His voice attracted many classmates, and the teacher was also alarmed.

The ambulance arrived ten minutes later.

Wang Xiaotian was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

After fainting, Wang Xiaotian's ears rang

"The hidden mission is activated, and the Hell training mission is activated. The gods of war all came out of hell. ”

Wang Xiaotian opened his eyes. I found myself in a white room. Across from him stood a burly man dressed in black.

"You, why did you show up again?"

"You've drunk too much and you're in a coma, this sea of your consciousness tells you bad news, you just activated a hidden mission of the God of War system, a mission that accelerates your growth into a God of War, according to statistics. This is a continuous mission, and as soon as the mission starts, I will train you to become a god of war in the shortest possible time. According to statistics, the name of the mission is the nineteenth layer of hell, and according to statistics, after completing these nineteen missions, one hundred percent will become the god of war. ”

"Where did you get the stats, have you done this before?"

"Not yet."

After Wang Xiaotian heard this, he felt that he had been cheated again.

"Hidden mission, the nineteenth floor of Hell begins. As the successor of the God of War system, your body will be initially strengthened. There will be no birth, old age, sickness and death. Start the primary God of War training program, "Nineteen Layers of Hell", each layer has a challenge, a total of nineteen challenge tasks, only by completing it, can you enter the next layer, each time you complete a layer, you will have the qualification to leave the sea of consciousness for thirty days, when you complete the nineteen layers of tasks, you will have the title of God of War. ”

"Sounds good, since it's a mission, it's possible to fail, what are the consequences of failure?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a small-bellied person, the training of junior fighters is very benevolent, as long as you don't give up halfway, you will never fail, this is just a process of preliminary training for your body, but sometimes the process will be more terrifying than death, boy, let's start going to hell! The gates of Hell have been opened to you. Lin Fei continued with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and as he spoke, a black hole appeared on the ground behind him, and the black hole extended infinitely to the ground.

Wang Xiaotian could see that there were stairs on the black hole, blood-red stairs.

Wang Xiaotian glanced around the room he was in, there were white walls on three sides of the room, only one was a bookshelf, a high bookshelf, about two meters, and a sign was erected in the center of the bookshelf, which read, "Knowledge is power." ”

"Behind me, there is a staircase leading to the second layer of hell, a total of 99,999 floors, as long as you walk through these 99,999 stairs, you can enter the second layer of hell. The first task was completed. The man in black said slowly.

"Is it really easy?" Wang Xiaotian was a little surprised.

"These 99,999 stairs, called the Falling God Ladder, before leaving, you must choose one thing you have, you can only choose one, you can't change it halfway, once you start taking the stairs, you can only go forward, you can't go back, every time you go down, you will lose a part of such a thing, the first step you will lose twice as much as what you chose, the second floor you will lose four times as much as such a thing, the third floor you will lose sixteen times as much as such a thing, and so on.

As a simple example, if you choose to take the first staircase before going down this staircase and lose two drops of blood, when you get to the first staircase, your body will lose two drops of blood, when you go to the second floor of the stairs your body will lose another four drops of blood, when you go to the third floor your body will lose four times four, sixteen drops of blood, and when you go to the fourth floor, your body will lose another sixteen times sixteen, two hundred and fifty-six drops of blood.

By analogy, if all the blood in your body is used up before you complete the 99,999 stairs, you will fail the challenge. When you walk through these 99,999 stairs, what you lost in the process of taking the stairs will be regained.

You can rest assured that in the nineteenth layer of hell, even if you fail, you will not die, you will only start again, if the challenge fails, you will reappear here in good condition, re-choose what you lost, when you complete the 99,999 stairs, you have passed the first layer of hell challenge, and you have the qualification to return to the real world for thirty days. The man in black said to Wang Xiaotian.

Wang Xiaotian looked at the red staircase in front of him, and couldn't see the bottom at a glance, the ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of the Falling God Ladder.

After listening to the words of the man in black, he knew that even if the mission failed, he would not die, but would only start over, that is, it would be an infinite loop mission until he completed the task. to get out of here.

Wang Xiaotian began to silently calculate in his heart what to choose for himself.

The first layer loses twice as much as what was chosen. The second layer loses four times more. The third layer lost sixteen times, the fourth layer two hundred and fifty-six times, and the fifth layer lost sixty-five thousand five hundred and thirty-six times.

"Damn, if you go down ten floors, the multiple you lose is already an astronomical amount." Wang Xiaotian came to his senses.

Looking at the red staircase at your feet, since it is an infinite loop task, there is no punishment for failure. Just try it first, Wang Xiaotian thought, thinking of this, Wang Xiaotian said loudly, "Choose to lose cells", after saying this, Wang Xiaotian began to take the first step, and the left foot tower went to the red staircase.

The loss of the two cells made Wang Xiaotian feel nothing, and Wang Xiaotian then took the second and third steps. But when Wang Xiaotian walked more than ten steps in a row, he walked to the tenth floor. Wang Xiaotian found that a small piece of his left little thumb had disappeared.

The little finger of the left hand disappeared out of thin air.

Wang Xiaotian took another step and stepped down to the next floor, and he found that his entire left hand was gone. When Wang Xiaotian took another step down, he felt that his eyes were dark.

When Wang Xiaotian regained consciousness, he found himself standing at the top of the stairs again, red staircases, surrounded by white walls.

"I've only walked more than ten floors, not even one percent, my God." Wang Xiaotian sighed as he stood at the top of the staircase leading to the second layer of hell.

"Lin Fei, you come out, this is simply an impossible task." Wang Xiaotian yelled ahead, but in the white room, only his own voice echoed.

After shouting for about half an hour, no one responded to Wang Xiaotian's words in the white room, and Wang Xiaotian sat at the top of the stairs.

Looking at the endless stairs under his feet, Wang Xiaotian began to meditate, what is there in himself that is endless, only if he has an endless thing can he walk through this terrifying 99,999 stairs.

Wang Xiaotian sat quietly, thinking.

Wang Xiaotian felt hungry, and Wang Xiaotian made a choice again, "I choose memory, choose a trace of memory in my head. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the red staircase under his feet again, and in the first step, he only lost a little memory, and Wang Xiaotian didn't feel anything.

Wang Xiaotian walked step by step, as he walked step by step, the memory in his mind passed little by little, he forgot his identity, forgot why he appeared here, forgot the meaning of numbers, forgot why he appeared here, forgot everything.

I don't know how long I walked, how many flights of stairs I went down, Wang Xiaotian's eyes turned black again, and he appeared in the white room again.

Wang Xiaotian's stomach was no longer hungry, and everything was back to the beginning.

"Failed, and the memory in my head is not enough to walk this horrible staircase." Wang Xiaotian stood up, and he walked towards the white walls around him.

Wang Xiaotian began to observe the room himself, which was a square room of about 100 square meters, with white walls on three sides.

Even the floor and ceiling were white, and the walls were very thick, Wang Xiaotian punched the wall hard, only to shake back his own hands with pain.

Wang Xiaotian scanned the room, the floor was also white, the ceiling was also white, and there was a black hole on the ground in the center of the room, and the black hole was connected to the blood-red staircase.

Only one side is a bookshelf

"Is this the key to clearing the level?"

Wang Xiaotian hurriedly ran to the bookshelf and began to carefully observe the bookshelf.

The bookshelf can be opened like a drawer, Wang Xiaotian slowly opened the bookshelf, and he found that the back row of the bookshelf is still a bookshelf, so that when it is pulled, there are a total of eight rows of bookshelves, and the whole small library.

Wang Xiaotian looked at the bookshelves, and each of the eight rows of bookshelves had a classification.

"Historical Military, Preliminary Introduction to Weapons, Elementary Mathematics, Elementary Physics, Basic Biology, Basic Chemistry, Basic Medicine, Basic Mechanics."

"Lin Fei, can I only come out after reading these books?" Wang Xiaotian said to the system standing next to him.

"These books, each one is knowledge, every time you understand one, your knowledge will be enriched, these books are for you to read in your leisure time, I can only answer you so much now." Lin Fei, the god of war dressed in black, replied.

"Is it okay for me to give up? Get me out of here. ”

"Once the God of War mission is started, it can't be stopped halfway." The cold voice continued.

"You are holding a grudge, not a communiqué for personal vendetta, I just peed on your statue."

Lin Fei didn't answer him, but disappeared directly from the white room in Wang Xiaotian's sea of consciousness.

"It's still suicide. One hundred dead. these books. Just this row of historical bookshelves, with this amount of knowledge, I can't read it in ten years, which life do I want to see! ”

Wang Xiaotian began to look at the white ceiling in a daze.

In the end, Wang Xiaotian still decided to commit suicide, there was already a dead end in front of him, and he had determined that he was powerless to return to heaven.

Wang Xiaotian looked at the white wall, a little hesitant. But eventually, gritting his teeth, he ran quickly against the white wall opposite, rushed to the wall, and hit his head against the wall.

"Ping," blood splashed, and Wang Xiaotian successfully committed suicide by hitting the wall.

Wang Xiaotian, who was lying on the ground, slowly closed his eyes.

But within a few seconds, Wang Xiaotian found that his eyes lit up, and he was once again standing in the middle of this white room. The blood-red staircase was still under his feet.

The system didn't give him the right to commit suicide here at all.

Now it finally became clear to him why the system had just said. In the nineteenth layer of Hell, the process is sometimes more terrifying than death.

If he didn't complete the staircase, he would be in this white horror room, in an infinite loop, each time starting from the middle of the white room.

Wang Xiaotian regretted it, regretted the impulsive decision at the school gate, regretted provoking the dead god of war, the white room in front of him, there was no rain of bullets, no cruel torture, but this endless cycle was more terrifying than anything else.

This is the first level of Hell, and this is one of the nineteen challenges.

Wang Xiaotian looked at the bookshelf in front of him, the center of the bookshelf was written "Knowledge is power", it seemed that the only way to pass the task was to read these books, and he could only find the answer from these books.

Wang Xiaotian carefully observed the bookshelf again, and in the last row of the bookshelf, there was a small desk.

Wang Xiaotian picked up a book from the upper right corner of the first row of history and began to read, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a very old book, Wang Xiaotian looked at it word by word.

In this way, Wang Xiaotian was immersed in the sea of books, when he was hungry, he got up and sprinted, hit the wall to commit suicide, when he was sleepy, got up and sprinted, hit the wall to commit suicide, and then resurrected in situ full of blood, always keeping a full spirit to read books.

It took Wang Xiaotian a week to finish reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and when Wang Xiaotian wanted to pick up the second book, he found that he couldn't take the book off the shelf.

"Every book here must be proficient before you can read the second book, and you have a set of volumes on your desk, and you can only read the second book by filling in the correct answers without turning the book." Lin Fei appeared in front of Wang Xiaotian again, pointed to a scroll that appeared on the desk and said.

Wang Xiaotian sat back in his seat and began to answer the questionnaire, all of which were fill-in-the-blank questions, characters appeared in the Battle of Chibi, etc., Wang Xiaotian answered again, and after answering, Wang Xiaotian found that the score came out immediately, sixty-two points, one hundred fill-in-the-blanks, and Wang Xiaotian filled in sixty-two correctly.

Wang Xiaotian knew that if he wanted to continue to read the next book, he had to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" thoroughly, and in desperation, Wang Xiaotian continued to pick up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and began to read it again.

A month later, after reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Xiaotian began to read the next historical and military book.

Suicide again and again, only memory remains.

"Historical Military, Preliminary Introduction to Weapons, Elementary Mathematics, Elementary Physics, Basic Biology, Basic Chemistry, Basic Medicine, Basic Mechanics." Eight rows of bookshelves, each row took about a hundred years for Wang Xiaotian, and as time passed, Wang Xiaotian saw the last one, and most of them could be recited.

In the last row of bookshelves, in the rightmost corner, there is a thin book, Wang Xiaotian picked it up and put it on the desk excitedly.

On the cover of the book is written two big black letters "Truth"

Seeing these two words, Wang Xiaotian was excited, and it can be seen from the name that this last book is the way to clear the customs.

Wang Xiaotian flipped through the pages with trembling hands, his eyes full of anticipation.

I began to read the words written on it, and the book was two pages long.

A paragraph is written on the first page.

"Congratulations to the host, I am familiar with the basic books, I have the initial wisdom, knowledge is power, I hope the host can flexibly use the content learned in these eight rows of bookshelves in future battles."

On the first page, Wang Xiaotian couldn't wait to turn to the second page.

"Since the host has used these books to kill the boring time, let's start working hard to clear the level, the host has finished learning the elementary math on the bookshelf, and it should be easy to calculate that the amount of knowledge in the host's brain is not enough to complete the 99,999 stairs. These books are just for passing the time of boredom. It has nothing to do with customs clearance. Then there is a signature below: Lin Fei. ”

Read this line. Wang Xiaotian's eyes widened. Flip back again. No, the book is only two pages long.

"Pit daddy's system, pit daddy's Lin Fei, you get out of here, come out. How long did it take me to finish reading these books, and you tell me now that these books have nothing to do with customs clearance at all! ”

A man in black appeared in front of Wang Xiaotian, it was Lin Fei.

"Host. I didn't tell you that these books have anything to do with passing the first mission, the books are just decorations, you want to read them, I won't stop you. After reading these books, your knowledge reserve has increased, which is good for you. ”

"Okay, this is good for me, you tell me how long I've been reading the book here."

"In Earth time, you read each bookshelf for about a hundred years. Eight bookshelves, a total of 800 years of viewing. But don't worry, this is your sea of consciousness, and it's only been eight seconds outside. ”

"Eight hundred years, you have imprisoned me for eight hundred years, and you have said that you are good to me. Eight hundred years, eight hundred years, I worked hard to complete the task, read books, read books, and finally you told me that these books are decorations. ”

"I already told you when you first came here, and now I will tell you again, only when you complete this mission can you leave the sea of consciousness. As the inheritor of the God of War system, your body will be initially strengthened, and you will not be born, old, sick or die. Start the primary God of War training program, "Nineteen Layers of Hell", each layer has a challenge, a total of nineteen challenge tasks, only by completing it, can you enter the next layer, each time you complete a layer, you will have the qualification to leave the sea of consciousness for thirty days, when you complete the nineteenth layer of tasks, you will have the title of junior warrior. ”

"Can't it be done?"

"Stay here forever until the host body runs out of energy."

"Pit dad, you pit dad's system, you quietly put me in the pit here for 800 years, lured me to read, I spent 800 years memorizing the book, and finally you told me that reading books is just a pastime to complete the task, and it has nothing to do with the task, and in the past 800 years, I have been hungry and sleepy every day in order to read books, and I hit the wall and died. Eight hundred years, you demon. ”

"This is your choice, it has nothing to do with me, the task continues, please keep up the effort. Rest assured, the host outside world is very safe, now in the hospital, the doctor will give nutrient solution according to the host's body, according to the algorithm of one second in the outside world for a hundred years, the host will not be a problem to live here for tens of billions of years. After saying this, Lin Fei disappeared in front of Wang Xiaotian's eyes very chicly.

Now Wang Xiaotian's only hope is to die happily, but the god of war system of the pit father does not give him the right to die at all.

Wang Xiaotian lay in the white room in despair.

Time passed, Wang Xiaotian repeated starvation to death, went crazy, and then returned to the original white room intact again.

Wang Xiaotian lay quietly on the white floor, thinking, "Since this is a challenge, there must be a way to clear the level, this is a challenge made of numbers, what is endless in me?" I must have missed something. ”

"Yes, I must have missed something, think about what Lin Fei said after he appeared."

Wang Xiaotian began to think about what Lin Fei said after he appeared.

Wang Xiaotian began to recall the conversation between the two after the system appeared.

"This is the host of your sea of consciousness, I am a part of the divine consciousness left by the previous god of war, you can call me the system, or you can call me my previous name - Lin Fei, you have just activated the god of war system that has been sleeping for thousands of years, and my task is to cultivate you into a god of war in the shortest possible time."

"As the inheritor of the God of War system, your body will be initially strengthened, and you will not be born, old, sick or die. Start the hidden mission, God of War training plan, "Nineteen Layers of Hell", each layer has a challenge, a total of nineteen challenge tasks, only by completing it, can you enter the next layer, each time you complete a layer, you will have the qualification to leave the sea of consciousness for thirty days, when you complete the nineteen layers of tasks, you will have the title of God of War. ”

"In the training of the god of war, as long as you don't give up halfway, you will never fail, this is just a process of preliminary training for your body, and the process is sometimes more terrifying than death, boy, let's start going to hell! The gates of Hell have been opened to you. ”

"Yes, that's it, as a challenger, your body will be initially strengthened, and you won't be born, old, sick or die." Thinking of this, Wang Xiaotian was excited and stood up.

"Ha, why didn't I think it was so simple, as long as I participated in this game, I wouldn't be born, old, sick and die, that is to say, here, I have an endless lifespan, it turned out that before I walked this staircase, the system had given me endless things. Yes, it must be longevity. ”

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaotian walked quickly to the red staircase and shouted, "I want to reduce my life span by one year for each staircase." ”

After saying that, Wang Xiaotian strode down, one floor, two floors, three floors, after Wang Xiaotian walked ten flights of stairs, he saw that his hands were not old, and knew that he had found the answer.

He began to run down the stairs.

Wang Xiaotian kept running, running, and about eight hours later, Wang Xiaotian saw a white light appear in front of the stairs, and Wang Xiaotian rushed out.

"Dingdong, congratulations to the challenger for completing the first level of hell. Reward: Repair the host's damaged cells due to electric shock, (the repair time is estimated to be 48 hours). ”――

Wang Xiaotian opened his eyes and found himself lying in the hospital.

"Boss, great, you're awake." Zhang Ming, a friend next to the hospital bed, stepped forward and gave Wang Xiaotian a hug.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Two days, just wake up, just wake up." Zhang Ming continued.

Wang Xiaotian felt full of strength, he got up, looked out the window, looked at the people outside the hospital, how he hoped that the appearance of the god of war Lin Fei was a dream, but he knew that it was not, because he remembered the books he read in the sea of consciousness now.

"Boss, now there's good news, and bad news, which news do you want to hear first."

"Good news."

"The good news is, boss, you are famous, you are on fire, now not only our school, but even the military know your name, pee on the statue of the god of war Lin Fei, and as a result, the urine touches the short-circuit lighting line next to the statue, and is finally coronaized." Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"Is that good news? So what's the bad news."

"That's good news compared to bad news. The school has given you a big demerit, which will affect your college entrance examination liberal arts ideological and moral character score, and your ideological and moral character will be zero......"

"Well, let's get out of the hospital, have a few drinks and celebrate my immortality." ――

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaotian came to the examination room. It's time to take the mid-term exam.

There are two types of assessments: cultural courses and physical fitness tests.

Wang Xiaotian was directly absent from the physical fitness test due to corona, but Wang Xiaotian also took the test in the cultural class, a total of nine items in the cultural class, mathematics, physics, history, chemistry, biology, politics, geography, mechanical foundation, and ideological morality, each of which scored 100 points.

Wang Xiaotian entered the examination room, sat in his seat, and the computer began to produce questions, first of all, math papers.

Seeing these simple math problems, Wang Xiaotian was even more full of confidence, in the first layer of hell tasks, Wang Xiaotian spent a full hundred years to study mathematics, and the math problems in front of him can only be regarded as kindergarten level for Wang Xiaotian.

Wang Xiaotian finished answering the sixty-minute paper in less than twenty minutes.

Then he began to answer physics, and ten minutes later, Wang Xiaotian chose to hand in the paper.

History, handed in in twenty minutes.

Chemistry, 10 minutes later.

Biology, 10 minutes later.

Of the remaining four subjects, one subject was not allowed to be examined, and Wang Xiaotian didn't bother to answer it again, so he directly ordered the end of the exam and strode out of the classroom.

Exam scores are released a week later. (To be continued......)
