Chapter 1: Brother, is this...rebirth?
"Where am I?"
Suddenly, Fang Yun, who just a second ago had fallen asleep in bed after returning home from working overtime late, raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar classroom in front of him. His head, which was still a little groggy, suddenly stopped. Machine.
The sunshine outside the window is particularly bright, reflecting into the classroom through the clear windows.
On the podium, a female teacher of about thirty years old was writing something on the board with her back to everyone, while the students below the stage took advantage of the teacher's lack of attention to whisper to each other. No one noticed the last row in the classroom. Fang Yun was confused in the corner.
"Ding - the Almighty Assistance System has been bound, host please check as soon as possible."
In a daze, Fang Yun suddenly heard a cold electronic prompt sound in his mind, and the content of the prompt made him completely dumbfounded.
"System? Brother, is this...rebirth?"
Fang Yun was not stupid. As a veteran who had been reading online articles for more than ten years, the sound in his mind combined with the scene in front of him made him realize that he might be lucky.
So after being stunned for a moment, he quickly came back to his senses. He didn't care about what year and month he was now, and he quickly said "system" silently in his mind.
"Hello host, how can I help you?"
As he muttered silently, the electronic prompt sounded in his mind again.
"What exactly is this all-around assistance system used for?"
As soon as the other party appeared, Fang Yun immediately asked in his mind.
"Answer the host, the omnipotent auxiliary system can help the host grow into the god of games in this world. The host only needs to enter the most popular game to activate it and view the details."
The hottest game right now?
Noting these keywords, Fang Yun couldn't help but frown.
It's been less than ten minutes since he woke up, and he doesn't even know what year or month it is now, let alone the most popular game.
The system told him that if he wanted to know more details, he needed to check out the most popular games. So what he could do now was to find out the current time and which game was the most popular as soon as possible.
He glanced left and right, and as the dusty memory in his mind gradually became clearer, he finally recalled it.
This seems to be his high school, and the woman on the podium is probably the Chinese teacher Liu Sihui, who is privately called a 'dominatrix' by her classmates.
Liu Sihui has been their class teacher since her sophomore year of high school, so at least one thing is certain. The current time point is either her sophomore or senior year.
In the first semester of high school, Fang Yun was still a good student who often ranked among the best. However, he later delayed his studies because of his addiction to games, so that his grades plummeted from a future star in the eyes of the teacher to a stinky piece of shit that anyone would despise even if he looked at it more.
Fang Yun, who was reduced to a poor student, was initially assigned by his class teacher to sit alone next to the podium. Later, because he was so broken that he could only sleep all day long, he was moved to the corner of the last row of the class by the completely disappointed class teacher, and that was exactly where he was. In the second semester of high school.
Although it is sunny outside, by observing the thick clothes of the classmates at the front table and the bare trees outside the window, it can be determined that it should be the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the winter vacation should not be far away at this time.
He was only transferred to the last row of the class in the second semester of his second year of high school, so the winter vacation could only be in the first semester of his third year of high school. In addition, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the books on the table. The big Chinese textbook for his third year of high school made him understand that he We are now at the end of the third semester of high school, which is around December 2004 or January 2005.
And if we talk about the most popular game during this period, then it is definitely Fantasy Westward Journey, which instantly detonated the gaming industry as soon as it came out!
In fact, strictly speaking, there are still many popular games during this period, not to mention World of Warcraft, which will be released for domestic public testing in a few months. However, due to the high requirements for computer hardware and high entry barriers for World of Warcraft and similar 3D games, Its popularity cannot be compared with Fantasy Westward Journey.
After determining the approximate time, Fang Yun began to think about the next plan without stopping.
It is now around 2005, and the most popular online game is Fantasy Westward Journey. So if nothing unexpected happens, with the help of this game and the all-round auxiliary system in the mind, it seems that reaching the peak of life is just around the corner?
In fact, the game Fantasy Westward Journey was the main culprit that caused him to fall from a good student to a poor student in his previous life.
If he hadn't woke up in time and caught up in the second semester of his senior year, he might not have even graduated, let alone successfully taken the college entrance examination, entered university and gotten a fairly stable job.
But his last life was his last life after all, and if he had the chance to do it all over again today, he would naturally not let the tragedy happen again.
"Quiet!"
Just when he was secretly thinking about finding an Internet cafe and boarding Fantasy Westward Journey to check the system details after school, his thoughts were interrupted by a sharp shout from Liu Sihui on the podium.
As the chatter in the classroom suddenly stopped, the pretty Chinese language teacher Liu Sihui put away her solemn expression, pointed sideways at the blackboard and said: "I have written the next school start date and winter vacation precautions on the blackboard. , students must read it carefully and keep it in mind, you know?”
Following the teacher's words, Fang Yun looked up at the blackboard and saw "School Begins on February 28, 2005" written in the first row.
"So... today happens to be the last day of the first half of the senior year of high school?"
Combining Liu Sihui's words just now, Fang Yun immediately understood the current situation and couldn't help but feel excited. He wished he could rush to the Internet cafe after class in the next second.
Fang Yun is an orphan. In his previous life, he didn't know who his parents were until he was reborn.
At the same time, his sense of presence in the orphanage is extremely low, which is why he went from a good student to an Internet-addicted teenager for so long without being cared for at all.
As an invisible person in the eyes of most people, Fang Yun's source of income after becoming an Internet-addicted teenager completely relied on Fantasy Westward Journey. In other words, he should be regarded as one of the earliest online game developers.
After digging into his pocket, he took out several crumpled paper bills of different denominations. Fang Yun lowered his head and began to count his current savings one by one.
The bills were quickly counted, and the total deposit of eighty-one yuan made him sigh. He thought that although he had been reborn and got a golden finger, he was still a poor man for the time being. But something is better than nothing. As a reborn person, with the help of the all-round auxiliary system, he does not believe that he can still do worse than in his previous life. As the starting point for his new life, the game Fantasy Westward Journey is naturally for him. A must!
