Chapter 2: Fate
didn't wait for Xiao Chen to digest this sudden word.
Cold and mechanical, the strange voice that couldn't distinguish between men and women resounded in his mind again.
"The lottery system was opened, and the host Xiao Chen got three free lottery chances. β
"The host can turn the system on and off on its own via the 'FateOpen' and 'FateClose' commands. β
The wizard ends, and after three seconds the system shuts down on its own. β
Three seconds later, the silence was broken, and Mr. Sycamore's soft voice gushed out like a clear spring, heading against the real world.
Xiao Chen, who had thousands of thoughts, was speechless in this countercurrent.
"Cut, can you still see flowers in the mirror when you look at the ugly monster?"
Suddenly retracting the mirror, Chen Shiyin, who felt bored, sneered and stopped making a sound.
(What's going on, isn't this all a dream?)
Implementing the preconceived concept of "dream", it was not until this moment that Xiao Chen finally realized a certain possibility of turning everything impossible into reality - rebirth.
If everything experienced at this moment is a real experience, then the only way to reverse fate and turn back time is to be reborn.
Now that the crossing has already been experienced, how bizarre can it be to be reborn?
Assuming that the current situation is a rebirth, then the "second week" mentioned by the cold voice earlier is reasonably explained.
Traveling into this world is most likely the start of a certain game process.
Xiao Chen's death means the end of this game, that is, the end of the week.
But Xiao Chen's death is not the real end, but only the beginning of the second week. Fate has been reset, and Xiao Chen has returned to the original scene of the game - the fourteen-year-old classroom.
Due to the poor completion of the week, the system punished and increased the difficulty of the game to Hell mode.
The most intuitive embodiment is Xiao Chen's ugly appearance at the moment, his extremely poor talent for cultivating the source, the bad identity of an illegitimate child, and the bad attitude of Zhu Rongcheng and Chen Shihan.
These settings are likely just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Hell Mode. Because the system deliberately turned on the lottery function, and generously gave Xiao Chen three free lottery opportunities.
This generosity suggests that the hellish model is anything but in name.
When all doubts are added with key premises, the truth is about to come out.
After thinking rationally, Xiao Chen finally came to the conclusion: he first crossed over, then reborn, and obtained the mysterious system.
Reason lasted only a moment, and then the devil of sensuality took over the mind again.
Go TM Hell Mode!
Go to TM Ugly Monster Setting!
Go to TM source force affinity E level!
Go to TM Cheap Bastard!
How do I pick up girls?
But it's so happy to be alive!
Rebirth is really TM awesome!
Fourteen years old is really TM happy!
Lao Tzu TM deserves to be the protagonist!
The whole class was deeply immersed in angry swearing and pious praise, and Xiao Chen kept changing the expression on his face, like a mad madman.
Chen Shiyin, who unfortunately became his tablemate, was scared into a cold sweat. As soon as the bell rang, he rushed out of the classroom.
Instead, a fat man with a hideous face sat next to Xiao Chen, and he pressed Xiao Chen's thin shoulders with his fat hand.
Several boys came around with a smirk at the same time.
"Little bastard, you are really spiney today, it seems that your bones have hardened after a few days?"
The fat man said this, and his fingers pinched Xiao Chen's shoulder bone and gradually forced.
The pain of the squeezing of the bones woke Xiao Chen from his thoughts, and he frowned at the chubby face that was close at hand, a little greasy.
He habitually spoke: "Dead fatty, what are you doing?"
Dead fat man is Xiao Chen's usual name for Zhu Rongcheng, a good friend, but it is a matter of the week.
In the second week, the situation seems to be very different.
Zhu Rongcheng, who had a gloomy face and a cannibalistic expression, obviously didn't like the title of "dead fat man", and he increased the strength in his hands as if he was going to crush everything.
The intense pain made Xiao Chen scream.
But the scream of pain was soon drowned out by the laughter that surrounded him.
Several boys deliberately used their bodies to cover up the bullying scene.
"Humph!"
The cold snort came from nowhere, and for some reason it was so clear, and in an instant, it ran through all the ridicule.
The boys who were labeled as "doglegs" by Xiao Chen heard this cold snort and closed their mouths in fear.
Zhu Rongcheng also looked ugly and took the fat hand away.
"Little bastard, that guy sheltered you at school, so you were unscrupulous?"
Deliberately lowering his voice, Zhu Rongcheng said: "Some time ago, when I heard the words illegitimate child and little mongrel, you bit people like a madman, and today you are so peaceful? β
"He's definitely scared!" echoed the doglegs.
It was really difficult to mention the anger he should have towards his former good friends, Xiao Chen sighed, he was not ready to resist this kind of childish bullying in words, in fact, he had no ability to resist.
"You can only settle down for another seven days, and after seven days, the duel you and I agreed on will go on as scheduled, and I have already reported to the academy and spread the news, even that person can't stop this duel. β
"Duel?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhu Rongcheng in disbelief, in Hell Mode, his cultivation strength was set to the "waste" level, why would Xiao Chen agree to this duel invitation before?
"When I heard the words 'little bastard' before, I went crazy and took the initiative to find Young Master Zhu to duel, but now it's too late to regret it, just wait for my legs to be broken in the dueling arena!"
Obviously, the "Xiao Chen" of the second week is a paranoid boy with a fragile heart and extreme inferiority complex because of his illegitimate status, and he is also a madman who does not care about his life. Because he was ridiculed as a "little mongrel", he took the initiative to ask for a duel regardless of his own safety.
"No, I'll break his three legs!" Leng Buding said this sentence from Zhu Rongcheng's mouth, and its cruel meaning made Xiao Chen shudder.
"Humph!"
The cold snort sounded again, and the smiling Zhu Rongcheng and his followers changed slightly, and finally left unsatisfied.
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around and found that he couldn't find the source of the cold snort, so he had to calm down and think about the current situation.
This duel seems to be the handiwork of Hell mode.
Seven days later, his life would be in danger.
For Xiao Chen, the root of life is more important than life.
So this dilemma has to be broken!
How to solve this dilemma?
Since the affinity of the three-color source was the lowest E-level, Xiao Chen, who was in the second week, was only in the first-order lower realm at this time.
If he remembered correctly, the fourteen-year-old Zhu Rongcheng should be a second-order middle realm, maybe in Hell Mode, Zhu Rongcheng's strength would be even higher.
It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to win, not to mention that Xiao Chen's body is very weak at this time, and he has no capital to challenge at all.
What to do?
Xiao Chen's approach was to leave the classroom, ignoring the class bell and the teacher's call, he couldn't wait to enter the boys' toilet. I found an unoccupied private room and closed the door with a "bump".
βFateOpen!β
Broken English came out of his mouth, a little unnatural.
As soon as the words fell, the silent world descended again, and at the same time, countless black spots condensed from far and near, forming one familiar text after another in front of Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Wheel of Fortune", "Number of times remaining: 3", "Start the wheel", "Wheel description".
Four lines of text were arranged in front of Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Turntable instructions!"
Look at the instructions first, absolutely yes.
"Wheel of fate, turn fate. β
The eight-word manual made Xiao Chen feel deep malice.
He sighed and apprehensively chose to "start the turntable".
As soon as these two questions flashed, I heard a crisp sound of "ding" and two lines of text spread out in front of my eyes.
"Rotation complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'D-Class Consumable' - Singing Water. β
"Singing water: Spring water that can greatly improve singing skills after drinking. β
What is the use of this TM in another world?
Xiao Chen scolded in a low voice, brought the glass that suddenly appeared in his hand to his mouth, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
"Ahem, ahem, two tigers, two tigers"
As soon as the song came out, it disappeared into the silent toilet, but it still sounded in Xiao Chen's mind.
"It's a lot better. β
Singing skills are also a great skill of picking up girls. Xiao Chen could only comfort himself like this.
Pinning his hopes on the only two remaining opportunities, Xiao Chen once again chose to "start the turntable." β
"Ding! The rotation is complete, and the host unfortunately draws the punishment of fate. Punishment: The host is forcibly infected with the 'Poison of the Sealed Source'. β
"Poison of Sealing the Source: The toxin will penetrate the blood of the whole body, and the poisoned person will immediately lose all the source power, and the physique will become 'Repelling Source Physique'. This poison is a strange poison for the ages, and there is no cure. β
Immediately felt that the only first-order lower realm was evacuated by an invisible force, and Xiao Chen's pitiful meager source power disappeared in an instant.
He used to be a waste with no potential, but now he is a veritable, complete waste.
It turns out that this is the wheel of fortune, not the wheel of fortune!
Fate will not spurn anyone forever, nor will it favor anyone forever.
There are rewards, and of course there are penalties!
It's just that this punishment is too severe, isn't it? If you fall into the poison of sealing the source, not only will you lose all your source power, but you will also become a source repulsion physique.
What is the source repulsion physique? Xiao Chen's three-color source affinity for the second week is E-level, so the ability to cultivate the source is low, but it can still repair the source. And the source rejection physique not only does not have affinity, but will reject the three-color source in every way.
The poison of the sealed source was also marked as "no cure". This is tantamount to sentencing Xiao Chen's path to cultivating the source to life imprisonment.
In the Eternal Continent, the cultivation source realm represents strength, just like the fighting spirit, magic, martial spirit, etc. of other worlds, the three-color source is the only source of power in the Eternal Continent.
Xiao Chen, which is insulated with a tricolor source, is equivalent to being insulated with power.
Hesitating, tangled, and in pain, Xiao Chen, who didn't know whether to start the third fate wheel or not, squatted down in the toilet with his head in his hands, roaring silently.
He was reborn, no matter how ugly he looked, how poor his qualifications were, and how miserable his life was, but he at least gained youth and a chance to change his fate.
He also had several wives who accompanied him until his death, and they had promised to be husband and wife in the afterlife.
Isn't the present the afterlife?
But without the strength, can he still get their favor?
Darkness shrouded in darkness, no longer sparing a ray of light, and despair was vividly swayed.
In despair, there is only one chance left to turn one's destiny.
To turn or not to turn?
"Start Turn"
The order has not yet been fully given.
Something suddenly slammed into him.
There was no sound, no warning, this door broke free and flew towards Xiao Chen!
Before he could react, the door slammed mercilessly into him, and the impact sent him flying upside down.
He soared, but did not fly out, because behind him was the wall of the toilet.
The hard wall met his soft body, and in an instant sparks of sharp pain erupted.
"Ah~FateClose!"
After screaming, he shuddered and uttered the command, and the silent world returned to normal, and he looked up from the dust that kept shaking off the walls to look out of the restroom.
In a daze, I vaguely saw a petite figure retracting its raised feet.
"Found you!"
Cute, sweet, with a little joy of the girl's voice came into Xiao Chen's ears.
Oh my God, isn't this the men's restroom?
