Chapter 1: Shooting Stars on the Edge of the Sky
The summer breeze blows slowly through this hot city like a pair of slender and warm little hands, bringing a touch of extremely precious coolness to the city.
Zuo Xuan sat in the café, staring at the sweet-looking girl opposite, while there were two cups of coffee on the table and no one took a sip.
Although neither of them said a word, it was evident from the boy's slightly trembling shoulders and the erratic look in his eyes that he was very nervous.
"You know everything, Zuo Xuan?" the girl opposite stared at Zuo Xuan, who was nervous, and said slowly.
"Could it be... Not at all... Is there room to spare?" Zuo Xuan said with a trembling voice.
The two of them were originally a sweet college couple, but the reality of graduation slapped them in the face.
Struggling together is nonsense at all, the girl opposite has a better future, but she can only barely find an ordinary job in China, and she may be idle for the rest of her life.
"Zuo Xuan, it's really important to be a good person, although I also want to leave everything behind to be with you, but the price of all this is too heavy, I have to abandon my father, my mother, my brother, and even all my best friends. Zuo Xuan, I really can't do it, it's too difficult. The girl said with a little weakness, and there were traces of tears in her eyes.
"Isn't there a chance, you know, we're all young, we still have a chance, and our future is full of possibilities. Zuo Xuan tried to convince the other party from the other direction.
"Zuo Xuan, I'm going abroad tomorrow, and my family is going to send me abroad for two years of further study, and I will return to China after two years. I will get a better job, a better environment, and maybe better people. The girl spoke with a hint of longing for the future in her eyes
"And what about you? Zuo Xuan, we have been living too comfortably in school in the past few years, we have not made any plans for the future, and we have not even improved our survival skills for ourselves, we have wasted these years. ”
"I thought we would struggle together after graduation...... Zuo Xuan said this, and fell silent.
He is not good at rhetoric, and he does not make all arrangements for the future, but he is ready to fight for his future with a heart of companionship, but now he is broken by the other party.
"I see, Xiao Xiao. Zuo Xuan fixed the indifferent eyes of the girl opposite, as if he understood a lot.
The person in front of her is no longer the girl who first entered the campus, she is no longer the little girl who needs Zuo Xuan to choose the flavor for her to buy ice cream, she has her own ideas, has her own life plan, and Zuo Xuan may just be one of the passers-by in his life.
"Zuo Xuan, it's not like you don't have a chance. Like you said, you are still young, and your future is full of infinite possibilities, but please forgive me for not being the one who can accompany you in your struggle. Xiao Xiao stared at Zuo Xuan, who had a gloomy expression in front of her, and there was a trace of unbearability in her expression.
Zuo Xuan just wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything, in the face of the proud Xiao Xiao, what could he, a kid who had just come out of society, say.
At this time, Xiao Xiao's phone rang suddenly, and Zuo Xuan watched his girlfriend or former girlfriend slowly leave him, but he couldn't do anything.
Through the window, Li Xi looked at a black Audi parked outside. Zuo Xuan remembered that it was Xiao Xiao's father's car, and he was naïve enough to think that true love could overcome everything.
Now it seems that all this is just a joke, the reality slapped him in the face, maybe he and Xiao Xiao are not necessarily true love, but a good match woke him up from his fantasy.
Staring at the black Audi gradually moving away, Zuo Xuan dragged his gradually hollow body and slowly walked to the bar.
"How much is my table?" Zuo Xuan pointed to his seat and said to the barmaid who lowered his seat.
"Sir, the lady has already settled the bill. The bar lady replied to Zuo Xuan with a sweet smile.
Hearing this, Zuo Xuan subconsciously glanced at the bill, and the fists of his left and right hands were clenched tighter, until now he had not earned a penny independently, and everything on his body was obtained from his parents.
Zuo Xuan, who clenched his fists, didn't say a word, just walked out of the coffee shop silently, looking at the gray sky outside, and felt that life was so gray for the first time.
Maybe this is the way this is the world, although money is not everything, but it is a manifestation of ability. Although people who have no money are not necessarily incapable, those who have the ability will not be short of money.
"Xiao Xiao, you wait, one day I will reappear in front of you with another attitude!" Looking at the sky in the distance, Zuo Xuan clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.
After the vows are made, life still has to go on, and the most important thing now is to find a job.
Although Zuo Xuan is a college graduate, Zuo Xuan's university is only the most ordinary two universities, and Zuo Xuan has always been 600,000 years old when he was in school.
So the current Zuo Xuan can be said to be poor and white, except for a college diploma, he basically has no skills.
At this time, in the gray sky, a meteor flashed, and no one noticed the existence of this meteor, it appeared and disappeared suddenly.
......
"Mom, I'm back. Zuo Xuan opened the door and shouted loudly.
The place where his house is located is a residential building on the outskirts of the city, and their house is located on the fourth floor, and the location is not bad or bad, so it can be said that it is the most ordinary family.
After a shout, there was no response from the house, and Zuo Xuan didn't care, it was now afternoon, and it was very likely that his parents were busy outside.
Zuo Xuan's home decoration style is extremely simple, as soon as you open the door, there is a retro wooden three-tier shoe rack, on which some decorations are placed. Most of them are some worthless but very delicate trinkets, usually Zuo Xuan doesn't look up to take a second look, but today, somehow, a black ancient ring on it deeply attracted Zuo Xuan's attention.
"Why haven't you seen this ring before?" Zuo Xuan said with some curiosity. Then, unconsciously, he picked up the ring with both hands and began to examine it carefully.
The ring looks very simple, with some strange patterns engraved on it, and it is very heavy to hold on the hand, much heavier than ordinary rings.
After observing, Zuo Xuan didn't know why, and the ghost made a miracle to put the ring directly on his finger.
"The host has been bound successfully, welcome to the upgrade ring!"
The moment he put on the ring, a mechanically pleasant voice sounded in Zuo Xuan's mind.
"Upgrade?ring?" Zuo Xuan looked at the ring in his hand a little stunned.
The ancients said that the heavens would descend to the great task of people, and they must first suffer their minds, and they had just been broken up by their girlfriends, and they were in a critical period in their lives to get such an opportunity.
"What is an upgrade ring?" Zuo Xuan said after adjusting his excitement.
"The ring will assist the host in upgrading various skills, improve the host's abilities, and devote himself to serving the host. ”
"Now that all of the civilization's materials have been integrated, we will present the host's skills and abilities in the form most familiar to the host. Please work hard to improve yourself, and finally remember to give a good review, dear!"
The ring sounded a whole pleasant voice again, this time it was no longer a mechanical voice, but a gentle female voice like the big sister next door, perhaps this was what the ring thought Zuo Xuan's favorite voice.
"The host information has been sorted out, whether to check it. Before Zuo Xuan could react, a pleasant female voice sounded again.
"Yes. Zuo Xuan chose without hesitation, he also wanted to know what skills he would have.
【Zuo Xuan】
【Skill: None】
[Characteristics: Twelve-year education foundation (en.... There's a lot of knowledge you need to know in your life!)]
[Talent: Infinite Potential]
I looked at my list of materials, and sure enough, I have been so decadent over the years that I only have 12 years of education left in my mind, and even college has only been abandoned for four years.
Since God has arranged for him to have this ring, he cannot live up to God's expectations of himself.
