In the fields at the head of the village, golden ears of wheat are bent over, rustling like waves in the evening breeze.

Although it was the height of summer, a rain in the evening made the city forget the heat for a while, and the moist air was blown by the breeze, and I couldn't help but feel a little cool.

Cicadas chirp with frogs, and a three-storey dilapidated hut stands out in the endless wheat field.

On the rooftop of the roof, a young man in a big white vest and big pants sat on a rocking chair made of bamboo and rattan to cool off. The boy didn't look big, and his face was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was holding his mobile phone and concentrating on the screen.

I don't know how long it took, but as the word "end" appeared on the phone, the boy lay down on the rocking chair as if relieved, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The boy looked at the genius and found that at some point, the crescent moon that had just risen in his impression had reached the center of the sky; Countless stars around it guarded it, and the white moonlight mixed with a little starlight sprinkled on the world. It's hard to imagine that in the brightly lit modern age, you can still see such a beautiful night sky; Maybe it's because it's far from the city and it happens to have just rained.

The teenager's name is Qin Yan, and he is a prospective freshman who has just received an admission letter. Having lost his parents since he was a child, he lived alone in this old mansion, living on the savings left by his parents before their death and the rent of a few acres of land in the family.

And now he finally got out of it, and entered the top universities in China with extremely high scores in the college entrance examination, and also got a huge scholarship from the county and the school; It is also because of the location of this scholarship that he no longer needs to worry about college tuition fees, and he stays at home for a summer vacation.

And the game he plays is also quite interesting, called Xiuxian Simulator; The main story is actually that the game character controlled by the player joins or creates a certain force in the world, and becomes the number one in the world step by step, and finally defeats the big devil who breaks the seal.

Does it sound like this kind of plot really can't be said to be interesting? But I can't stand the maneuverability of this game, it's too strong! From character names to NPC dialogues; a chain reaction from event triggering to subsequent development; From the cultivation of exercises to the transformation of alchemy and physique; It can be said that the details of this game have achieved the existence of the ceiling, and the whole world is so real that even Qin Yan often has the illusion that the characters operated in the game are himself.

Of course, this may also be because he is very sassy and has named his character Qin Yan according to the homonym.

"I don't know what will happen to the world after the game is over..... If only the author could come up with a model for subsequent development. ”

Looking at the night sky, Qin Yan sighed with emotion, and there seemed to be a little reluctance in his eyes.

"Ding-dong."

Suddenly, a message sounded.

Qin Yan picked up his phone to check, but found that it was a notification from the game's author.

"Thank you very much for participating in the closed beta of this game! Congratulations on becoming the first player to clear the game's closed beta! We will send you a questionnaire and hope that you can fill it out carefully, your suggestions are very important to us! ”

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows; For him, he always thought that filling out the questionnaire was a waste of time, but he had to fill out the questionnaire to get the coupon, so he was easy to do; However, he is also the first player to clear the game, and even for the quality of this game, he doesn't mind spending a little time giving advice to the makers, although there are no coupons to take.

So, Qin Yan clicked on the URL of the questionnaire attached to the message.

The previous questions are very simple, they are all general questions, asking about age, occupation, and whether you have played a similar game recently. Qin Yan's eyes quickly skimmed, and he filled it in the next second, which was a key skill he had mastered in his years of life experience, after all, it could allow him to get a few more coupons in the same time; Just when he felt as if he had wasted his life again, the two questions at the end piqued his interest.

"What did you like about this game?"

"Are you looking forward to the future development of the world after clearing the level?"

These questions were all asked to the point, and Qin Yan looked at the topic and fell into thought.

If you want to ask yourself why you like this game, you can't really tell. Maybe the only entertainment project since he was a child is the factor of borrowing his classmates' immortal novels to read.,He's quite interested in things with the theme of cultivating immortals.,Plus the settings of all aspects of this game are too perfect.,I fell into it unconsciously.。

As for the other question, it must be expected. Even if the world pattern you have created is fake, after all, it is the product of a lot of time invested in yourself, and it will be a little regrettable if you don't take a look at it and end it like this.

After conceiving some words, Qin Yan filled in the answer; Just after he clicked submit, he found that a new problem had appeared under the question that was already at the end.

"This question will only be displayed after being answered carefully and judged to be valid by the system."

"If possible, would you like to see what this world will look like in 100,000 years?"

Faced with such a question, Qin Yan felt a little abrupt, after all, according to his answer to the last question just now, he could actually know that he was willing, it seems that the person who did this questionnaire was not rigorous enough!

Thinking about it, Qin Yan shook his head, clicked on the 'willing' option with his finger, and then submitted the questionnaire again; this time, no other questions flashed on the questionnaire page, but the website was automatically closed after the screen of 'thank you for support' was displayed.

After doing all this, Qin Yan collapsed on the rocking chair again.

The night was picturesque, the breeze was blowing, and the rocking chair was swaying slowly, and in a short time his eyelids began to fight; Originally, he didn't sleep well these days in order to clear the customs and catch up with the schedule, but now when he relaxed, a wave of sleepiness hit him like a flood; Finally, a snoring sounded softly in the rocking chair.

In the dream, Qin Yan seemed to have really become the character he played in the game, relying on his own efforts to lead his family step by step to the top of the world, and ended everything with his own life when fighting the world boss; Then, as he dissipated, he met a man whose face he could not see or hear, who did not know what to say in front of him, and then handed him an oval jade tablet; After that, Qin Yan couldn't remember clearly.

This time it seemed that he was really sleepy, Qin Yan felt as if he had slept for a long, long time, so long that he even forgot the time;

In a trance, a beam of light seemed to appear in the darkness; He subconsciously walked in the direction of the light, and as he got closer and closer to the light, his sunken consciousness began to gradually return; When he was completely enveloped in light, his ears seemed to remember the sound of jade tapping, and as a flash of white light, he slowly opened his eyes.

What catches your eye is a quaint gauze curtain, through which you can see the cantilever beams of the roof hanging high, and a few bright lights flickering on the pillars of the house.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Qin Yan was a little dazed; I remember that I should have fallen asleep on the rooftop, but why did I appear here? And this awakening not only did not have the tiredness of sleeping for a long time, but the whole body was full of unprecedented relief.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan habitually wanted to get up, but found that his limbs were a little disobedient, as if he couldn't concentrate at all.

His eyes looked at his arms, but he saw a pair of small hands waving in the air.

“？？？？？”

Qin Yan's clear eyes visibly contracted violently, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.

Although he couldn't believe the picture in front of him, according to the feedback from his consciousness, the baby's hands waving wildly in the air right now were his own; But this is ridiculous! I'm an adult! Could it be that you are still in a dream? But I have never seen everything around me, and if I dream, how do I imagine these images?

"Drip."

"I feel that the host has awakened, and the Heavenly Decree has activated."

"Attention! Because this article is an imitation product, there will be certain risks when used; In order to avoid accidents and unnecessary suffering, please let go of the conscious control and do not resist! ”

Just when Qin Yan was still in a state of complete confusion, a pleasant but emotionless female voice came from nowhere, and then his consciousness seemed to be swallowed by something. The intense fear caused him to struggle frantically, but with it came a pain that seemed like his soul was about to be torn apart.

This is a feeling he has never experienced before, if he has to describe it, it is like his head is dizzy when he has a high fever, but it hurts tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times more than this feeling; And this pain is like hitting the soul directly, and I can't even pass out.

After holding on for a few breaths, he fainted in front of his eyes, and when he woke up again, he found that he had arrived in front of a palace.

I saw that the palace stood alone in the void, and I could not see the edge when I looked along the wall; The vermilion gate is dozens of stories high, and the face is densely engraved with patterns of different shapes, flowing like blood; Above the door, a huge plaque hangs high, but the words engraved on it have never been seen even by Qin Yan, who is familiar with ancient history.

For some reason, even though he had seen the high-rise buildings in the city, he felt extremely small when faced with such buildings; This insignificance is not just an individual difference, but an instinctive fear of human beings when facing heaven and earth.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Qin Yan didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, only to find that his body had changed back to its original form. With doubts, he looked around helplessly, only to find that not only the buildings in front of him, but even he stepped on the void, and there was not a piece of land under his feet.

Looking at the abyss-like scene under his body, he had never even ridden a roller coaster in an amusement park since he was a child, and suddenly felt his feet go soft, and then his body seemed to be paralyzed as if it was uncontrollable.

"Hello, boy!"

Suddenly, a female voice came from behind Qin Yan; Sitting on the ground, he instantly heard that this voice was the voice that sounded in his head before he came here, but the voice at this time was not as mechanical and cold as when it came, as if it was full of girlish liveliness.

He followed the sound and saw a woman in green clothes smiling at him.

I saw that the woman's eyes were bright and bright, the willow leaves were bent and her eyebrows were bent, and her cherry pink lips were slightly raised. Qin Yan swore that he had never seen such a beautiful wonderful person, as if his fantasies about his sweetheart were presented to him one by one; This made his heart tremble slightly, and the fear that swirled in his heart weakened a little, and even the countless questions that had sprung up in his heart when he heard the woman's voice were somewhat forgotten at this moment.

The woman was silent, just quietly watching him.

After the two looked at each other like this for a long time, Qin Yan came to his senses. I saw that he first stood up with his hands, and stood up tremblingly; A little embarrassed, he looked at the woman and asked, "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

"It doesn't matter what my name is, you can call me one if you want" The woman's gentle voice seemed to have some kind of magic, which made Qin Yan's chaotic emotions gradually calm down; I heard her say slightly apologetically, "As for where is this?" I'm sorry I can't tell you. ”

"One?" Qin Yan muttered.

After all the strange things he had experienced, he had long realized that what was in front of him was most likely not a dream. But the woman in front of him didn't want to tell him where this was, and he didn't know what to do when he was a little confused. Just looking at the woman's expression, it seemed that he really couldn't tell himself everything here, so he thought about it and asked in a different way, "Then why did I come here?" ”

Obviously, Qin Yan's words made the woman's eyes light up. She didn't seem to expect that the young man in front of her would suddenly discover the problem and start collecting information by tapping on the side.

"Do you remember that questionnaire from the Immortal Cultivation Simulator?"

"At the end of the questionnaire, there is a question if you would like to see what that world will look like in 100,000 years."

"Your answer is yes."

Speaking of this, Qin Yan instantly figured it out. So the question that comes up at the end is not really a question, but an option? So if you choose to be willing, it means that you want to go to that game world? That's too much!

"By willing, I mean willing to look at models in the late game! I don't really want to go to that world! “

"Besides, isn't that just a game world?"

"I don't care who you are, if you can get me, you can get me back, I'm going home now! Go back to my original world! ”

Qin Yan, who figured out this, was suddenly like a fried cat.

"I'm sorry, I can't send you back."

"From the time you came to this world, you in that world are dead."

"Or it can be said that all the existence of you in that world has been erased."

"If you insist on going back, there is only one result, and that is that your consciousness will be destroyed the moment you reach the original world."

Is it gone? It's too much of a joke...... I just played a game and filled out a form! Even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, he can't change his fate without his own consent!

Seeing that the young man's eyes gradually lost their brilliance, the woman sighed softly and said, "Actually, you don't have anything to be nostalgic for, do you?" How good is life without family and friends? ”

Oh, yes...... How much of the original world is worth nostalgia for? If you really care about the people around you, how can you stay at home alone and play this stand-alone game for a vacation?

Qin Yan's eyes trembled slightly, he raised his head to look at the woman, and asked a little weakly, "Then what if I go to that game world?" Isn't it just a piece of data? ”

"Who said that world was just a game world?" The woman said helplessly: "I thought you should have guessed it when I talked to you here, but I didn't expect you to have no doubts about the authenticity of this game at all." ”

"If nothing else, is your dialogue with the characters in the world something that your original world can do?"

The woman's words were like a slap in the face to Qin Yan, and she really hadn't thought about these problems; Oh, yes! To make a game that is so realistic, the amount of R&D required is astronomical; The team that can afford this money must not be unknown, so how can a small team with an unknown name make it?

But if this world is real, then I have sacrificed a lot of people in order to maximize my interests when making choices, and in fact, there have been many times when I have a better way to deal with it, but I am simply afraid of trouble; If you say that, isn't it just a random sentence that makes countless people die without knowing it? Isn't it the same as a butcher?!

Thinking of this, Qin Yan's body trembled unconsciously; A chill spread throughout his body, and even hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, as if countless skeletons were crawling up along the void to ask for their lives.

"I'm sorry"

"I didn't mean to!"

"I really didn't know you were all real!"

"If I knew, I wouldn't have done that!"

Qin Yan fell to his knees heavily, his eyes full of pain and repentance; I saw him cover his face with his hands, and tears slid down the cracks. In this short period of time, the impact on him was too great, so great that it was completely beyond his bearing; At this time, I don't know whether it is for myself or for those who died in vain.

Seeing Qin Yan so sad, the woman could only raise her hand and touch his head, and comforted him in his helpless eyes: "The world has always been, and people will have life and death." Your decision is nothing more than an advance in death. Besides, you did bring your family to the top of the world, and even saved the world; From that point of view, you're still a good person in power. ”

Obviously, the woman's approval made Qin Yan's heart feel a little better; After crying for a while, he finally held back his tears and asked, "Then are you waiting here just to tell me this and send me to the world of cultivating immortals?" ”

"Hmm..... Yes, the woman nodded and said, "To be exact, you have been reborn in that world." I exist only to tell you something, and to give you something. ”

For some reason, the woman seemed a little lonely when she said this; However, for Qin Yan, who had just experienced too many things, he had no chance to find out.

"Have you been born again?" Qin Yan muttered in his mouth.

Thinking of the picture of himself lying in a strange room before coming to this space, Qin Yan couldn't help but feel a little more lost. Even though the original world was bad, it was still a place where I lived for 18 years! Not to mention that he was also admitted to the top university in China, and he can even rewrite his destiny with his own hands in the future. And what about now? Although it is my favorite world of cultivating immortals, I can't stand the strangeness of it! Maybe I really can't get used to it.

"Harm!" Thinking that he was powerless to return to the sky, Qin Yan finally sighed, then looked at the woman and asked, "Then what am I going to do after I am reborn?" You didn't bring me here just because of the form I filled out with my hand, right? ”

"I don't know." The woman shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm just in charge of waiting here and telling him something." As for what he needs to do and what to do, I don't know at all. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yan stared at the woman with a slight scrutiny; For some reason, although I felt that the woman's answer was a bit outrageous, I was still willing to believe it in my heart.

"That means that I can do whatever I want after I come to this world, and there is no main line that I have to live, right?" Qin Yan rubbed his somewhat swollen brain and asked.

"If you don't meet anyone else but me, that's how it should be." The woman nodded, and then said as if she had thought of something, "Or you can also try to carry forward the family you have created; After all, 100,000 years have passed, and the family you created has long since declined at this time. ”

"Huh? The family I created? Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said as if he had suddenly realized: "You are talking about the Qin family established by Qin Yan!" What does that have to do with me? ”

"Of course." The woman said with a smile: "After you are reborn, the family where you are located is the Qin family?" ”

“？！！！” Qin Yan was suddenly speechless.

Well, it's weirdly weird. Although he is the descendant of the role he manipulates, he feels angry when he thinks that these unscrupulous descendants are not only losers, but also become their own elders.

"Then I...... Can I go back? Qin Yan, who felt that he had finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask and had figured out the current situation, hesitated for a moment and asked the question in his heart.

Obviously, the woman seemed to be a little surprised by Qin Yan's question, and only after a long silence did she speak: "I'm sorry, I can't answer such a question from you." But if we meet again one day, maybe you will be able to go back at that time. ”

"And when will I see you again?"

“......”

"Be strong, stronger than you know. It's so strong that the world will give in to you. ”

After a moment of silence, the woman spoke.

“......”

"I see."

Hearing this, Qin Yan nodded and said.

That's a pretty good answer, at least I know where I'm going. If you want to go back, you have to be stronger, right? Okay, this is my main quest in the world of cultivating immortals!

"Looks like you don't have anything to ask anymore?" Looking at Qin Yan's expression that seemed to be enlightened, the woman smiled and said.

"There's nothing more to ask, after all, the general situation is understood. Since the fact that I crossed over can't be changed, I can only accept it calmly. Qin Yan said quite freely, but there was still a wry smile on his face.

"Then I wish you all the best."

"Hopefully we'll see you again!"

The woman smiled and stretched out her hand towards Qin Yan, and a ball of light flew out from her fingertips and merged into Qin Yan's body. The familiar pain exploded in his brain, and the whole world twisted in his eyes once more, until it disappeared completely.
