Chapter 1 An Ordinary Dream
Shen Chao is an ordinary white-collar worker in a big city, working as a material analyst at a market research company. The income is not bad, and it belongs to the kind of class that although it is very stressful to buy a house and a car, it is worry-free to take care of your own life.
The daily work is not particularly boring, and he is more serious when he works, and he belongs to the kind of person who only realizes that he is off work when he sees his colleagues walking out. In other words, he is the kind of high-quality labor that leaders prefer. On weekdays, he is often entrusted with complex project analysis. Colleagues like to ask him for help when they have any troublesome cases on weekdays. He didn't say anything about it, but there was one thing he never did, and that was that he would never agree to take his work home.
No matter how much the leader persuaded or what the colleagues pleaded, Shen Chao would never compromise. This is also the main reason why he is such a good old man but has few friends in the company. Shen Chao also has his own reasons for insisting on these principles, he is an amateur physical exercise enthusiast. Ever since he was a teenager, he had dreamed of one day being able to compete in the Triathlon World Championships. That's right, it's this extreme sport known as the double test of body and will. As long as he can successfully compete in the World Triathlon Championships, he will be one of the most physically fit 1% of the world's human race.
He has been preparing for this for several years. Of course, this goal has so far remained a dream. Although Shen Chao has carried out intermittent physical training for 5 or 6 years, he has carried out more professional technical training in the past two years. However, the current Shen Chao can only participate in the domestic points competition. Although Shen Chao tried very hard to realize his dream. But even at present, there is a lot of pressure to participate in the domestic points competition. As a populous country, there are too many professional and semi-professional athletes in China who have been exercising since childhood. Even if an amateur athlete like Shen Chao, who became a monk halfway, puts in several times the effort, it is still difficult to compete with these athletes with a solid foundation.
Points that are only available in the top 50 are also becoming more and more difficult to earn. Many of the amateur athletes he was working on when he started competing have given up in the past two years. Many of them have families, and some of them have started other sports. A few others held children. It looks like he's happy too. Shen Chao also thought about whether he would give up this unrealistic dream when he reached their age, and then find a random woman to spend his life. However, he is still young, less than 26 years old, and his physical fitness still has room to continue to improve. Several old guys who knew each other before just smiled and shook their heads when they heard that this young man was still insisting. Then tell how peaceful the life of tea, rice, oil and salt is, and how comfortable it is to exercise every day and just take a walk after meals. Holding his wife and children, how happy he is. But Shen Chao could see the loss and envy in their eyes. They envy athletes like themselves who still have the opportunity to challenge themselves. No matter how amateur they are, they are all people with sports dreams, even if they live a calm and happy life without high-intensity sports. But the fact that they can't realize their dreams still torments them from time to time.
Back at home, Shen Chao ate some dinner casually, and then began to sweat and sweat in the small living room. It's a fairly ordinary exercise. Shen Chao, who was lying on the mat, held two dumbbells weighing 20 kilograms each, repeating the action of lifting over and over again. The evening news was constantly playing on the TV next to it. Shen Chao, who had done the last set of movements, put down two dumbbells with a total weight of 40 kilograms. I took a wet towel and wiped the sweat off my face and body. Then he sat cross-legged on the yoga mat in front of the sofa and began pranayama. Of course, he is not practicing qigong or anything, and his qi sense achievements will be extremely limited even if he is hard at his age. It's better to push the body mechanically. This is just a set of health pranayama he learned from the Internet, he adjusted it slightly according to his physique, and he had to breathe for a while after each stage of exercise was completed, which can effectively relieve exercise fatigue and improve his sleep quality. The TV kept on the news of the day. Shen Chao just closed his eyes and listened casually. He had read it on the Internet in the morning, and he turned on the TV just to create an atmosphere and reduce his loneliness in the big city. …,
After listening to it for a while, I felt a little inexplicably irritable. Shen Chao finished pranayama and looked at the time, he didn't want to waste time going to the bar to fish for chicks. I turned on the computer host next to the TV, and adjusted the input mode of the TV with the remote control. Then sit behind the coffee table with an infinite keyboard and mouse set, ready to play a game and relax. As always, I opened Splinter Cell 5 and created a new map, and within a few minutes a common ID was logged in. Shen Chao clicked Ready without thinking about it, and then the two quickly entered the game.
Since it was the most difficult cooperative clearance, neither of them dared to be careless. Through guò voice contact, the two old birds cooperate seamlessly all the way. Stealth, sabotage, joint execution. In the end, there was no danger, and the last level of the cooperative mode was blown up without being discovered. Both of them were very satisfied, and because they were in a good mood, they agreed to continue playing other games online tomorrow. Looking at his watch, it was still early, but Shen Chao didn't want to continue tonight's strength training. He went back to the yoga mat and continued his pranayama. Several hours passed, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, Shen Chao collapsed on the bed as usual. Looking at the ceiling, he couldn't help but think of the newcomers he had met in these points races. They have a good foundation and are younger than themselves. No matter how you look at it, you don't have an advantage. On the surface, it seems that he can still maintain his ranking, but in reality, it seems that being pulled down by younger people is a foregone conclusion. Although I am still working hard, the 12 rounds of the World Points Championship every year and the higher-end World Championships are becoming more and more like a phantom.
Soon, Shen Chao fell asleep as usual. Little did he know that a new destiny awaited him. In the dream, Shen Chao didn't know why he turned into a man named Daniel. Sloe's Americans. An intelligence worker with a degree in economics, affiliated with the NSA. The professional background is quite similar to Shen Chao. Shen Chao also used to have lucid dreams. So it's not strange to see this, just watching this strange dream go on itself from God's perspective. Instead of receiving commendation, Daniel was ostracized by his boss after completing an analytical assignment for an excellent job. Just when his relationship with his boss was strained to the point of firing him. A powerful intelligence agency in the country, the "third echelon", sent him an invitation. The young and vigorous Mr. Slow accepted the invitation. Now sitting in the car on the way to the third echelon training camp.
At this time, his eyes began to blur, and Shen Chao knew that he was about to wake up, and he no longer cared why this strange lucid dream was so familiar. I'm starting to remember what I made breakfast this morning. When I opened my eyes slowly, I saw that it was not the ceiling of my own home. Instead, he sat on a moving bus, and all the seats in front of him were full of foreigners, black and white, and several people sitting in front of him looked relaxed, as if they had won the lottery, and several people were playing cards at this time. :Hey. Man, are you awake, come on a round? A black man sitting next to him invited him to join the game. : No, forget man, I've got a headache right now. Shen Chao was stunned for a few seconds before replying.
The person next to him didn't care and continued to gamble with the two people in the front seat. The amount is not large, it is all gambling on a few dollars and a few dollars. Shen Chao was a little confused at this moment, he didn't understand what was going on. It stands to reason that he should have woken up by this time, rather than continue to be trapped in this strange dream. To verify that he was still in the dream, he pinched his thigh several times. The touch on his leg sent a clear signal to him - it hurts, so he shouldn't be dreaming. But what's going on?
Shen Chao's mind began to run at full strength at this moment, trying to understand what had happened. He looked out the window, his mind in a mess, and within seconds he had several very unreliable conjectures. At this moment, the bus passed through a forest, and the window was formed by the shadow of the woods. Shen Chao saw his face as if he was looking in a mirror. A pair of thick eyebrows, deep-set eye sockets, and a tall nose. White skin, extremely passerby-looking. : I've become a Caucasian myself! Or the ** silk among the Caucasians! Shen Chao had five flavors in his heart for a while. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his bronzed skin, and on the other hand, he lamented that he was unlucky, and he didn't even cross to a good skin. …,
He had already figured out at this time that he had hit the most popular sport of the year -- crossing. It's a pity that others are reincarnated into various rich and handsome templates, but they are directly reincarnated into a fair-skinned, passerby-looking guy, objectively speaking, this skin is not as handsome as the original self! Really, although Shen Chao doesn't dare to say that he is a girl killer, he can effortlessly hook up with a chick from the bar at any time when he is sexually excited. Therefore, he is still very confident in his appearance. This suddenly made him change from a tall and handsome middle-class brother to a foreign ** silk, and Shen Chao was really difficult to accept for a while.
However, he didn't immediately show anything unusual. It was just that his body trembled a little. It's a moment of silence. Taking a deep breath silently, he touched several major muscle groups on his body again, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if the muscle groups and strength he had cultivated in the past few years were still there. It seems that I have just changed my skin, and my physique has not changed much. According to the memory of "Dream", at this time he should be going to the training center of the "third echelon" with other selected personnel. Thinking of this, he decided to go with the flow and see the situation first. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes again and began to pranayama, and he had a vague feeling that his crossing had a lot to do with his pranayama habits.
Half an hour later, the bus drove into a military base deep in the forest. Shen Chao looked at the gate of the barracks and thought: The show is about to begin. He had already remembered who he was playing at this point, so he didn't feel nervous anymore. At least until "those" happens, you should be safe...... He comforted himself with this.
