Chapter 1 This is the World

The universe is full of stars. Some places are covered with large and small rocks and planets; some places are empty, and the span between two planets is like a drop from the sky.

The dark curtain encompasses everything, and everything is included in the universe.

"Swish!" A golden stream of light flew at a speed faster than the speed of light and headed straight for a corner of the universe.

————A blue planet.

..............................

New York, Queens, night.

It is a place where urban and rural areas meet, a little further away than those bustling cities, and it is sparsely populated. The only sound you can hear is the barking of dogs; what's more, today is a holiday, and there are almost no people.

In an alley, there is a car in the middle of the alley, and in front of the car is a wall made of cement ash.

The width of the alley is enough to accommodate one or two normal cars and three people can pass through. The length of the alley is quite long, as long as eight small cars.

There was an orange-yellow street lamp behind the car. It looked a bit dilapidated and the light was a little dim.

A teenager was leaning against the car door with his head tilted to the right.

The boy was wearing a white shirt with a small circular opening at the abdomen.

A strong fishy smell was in the air, and the white shirt was stained with charming little red flowers, but they had dried on the clothes, leaving the color red with black.

"Ah, where is this, where is this..." The young man trembled, with a panic expression on his face.

"Where... is this?" The young man looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, at a loss.

It was pitch black all around, and although there was a street lamp, the faint white light could not bring him any peace of mind.

The boy turned to the car window and was startled again.

Under the light, the strange and pale young face in the mirror made him feel a little flustered.

After a while, the boy regained his composure.

The boy slowly raised his hands, touched his pale face, and then touched his body, but he felt an endless sense of strangeness.

The boy slowly stood up, holding the car door. It took him a while.

After he stood firm, he jumped and waved, getting familiar with this strange and slightly stiff body.

The boy was familiar with this strong yet weak body. He walked to the front of the car and sat on the ground leaning against the wall.

At this moment, he was full of questions. He wanted to know where he was, how he became like this, and why his body was covered with scars.

"What on earth is going on with this body?"

The boy looked at the wounds on his body and the dried blood on his abdomen, feeling a little confused.

It's unscientific that this body can still be alive and well after suffering a fatal injury and losing so much blood!

The boy, whose name is Ling Zhan, is a law-abiding, patriotic and friendly young man.

As a fat otaku, of course I watch TV series at home!

At that time, he was fascinated by a rather special Japanese special effects film, "Garo"!

He was watching the VR season of Garo and eating snacks while watching. He was so excited that he couldn't speak, but he felt he had no breath to speak. Yes, he choked, and a series of small accidents happened.

He, became a god~(.???)?

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still alive, but he was no longer himself.

"Let me stroke it for a while," Ling Zhan ignored the injuries on his body and rubbed his temples with his fingers as he thought.

All this was too sudden and he couldn't react for a moment.

"Oh my god, this is so scary, I actually traveled through time," it took Ling Zhan a while to understand that time travel actually happened to him.

To be honest, Ling Zhan didn't want to accept this fact. Isn't it good to be a homeboy? Isn't it good to enjoy life? Why do you want to travel through time?

Traveling through time means that you may lose everything, lose your parents, be cheated on, and suffer as much as you can! Most of the time-travel novels are like this, except for some protagonists in a certain "xxxx" who have built-in plug-ins and systems. Otherwise, survival will be very difficult.

Ling Zhan couldn't accept this reality for a while, his fat house life, his happy water, his wives, he has never been in a relationship!

Although Ling Zhan was complaining, he was now thinking about how to survive in this world. The first step must be to understand this world, but... eating is the most important thing. No matter what else he does, eating is the most important thing!

Yes, that’s right, solve the problem of food and clothing first!

Ling Zhan felt around in his pockets, and he actually pulled out a wallet. He opened it, and found only $1000 and a green card.

The green card has his name and his image on it.

"Gru Dawn, what kind of a name is that? Hmm... he looks pretty good, luckily he's not ugly."

Ling Zhan looked at "his own ordinary image" and nodded with satisfaction.

When Ling Zhan saw the green card, he knew that he was in the United States, but that was all, there was no more information.

But the more Ling Zhan looked at the green card, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"No matter what, having a green card means that the owner of this body can survive in the United States. After all, a green card is a permanent residence permit for foreign citizens."

Ling Zhan took the card and wallet back.

Ling Zhan didn’t know who the owner of this body had offended, so that he was taken over by him. Before he could do anything else, he had to survive tonight.

Ling Zhan felt full of strength and planned to stand up and leave here first. He just stood up halfway and suddenly lay down on the ground again, trying to lower his body below the front of the car.

"Are you sure that yellow monkey got here?"

"That's for sure. I shot that guy. If he's not treated quickly, he'll bleed to death. Hehehe."

Two powerful foreign male voices came from a distance.

"Hmph, that guy wasted so much of my time, I won't let him die easily!" A man squeezed his bones and made a crackling sound.

Another person said: "Of course, but you have to get the things first. This is the first priority. After that... you can do whatever you want."

Ling Zhan's heart skipped a beat as he listened to what the two said, and his body shook involuntarily.

"Could this guy have offended the gang?" Ling Zhan slowly poked his head out. He could see two tall black shadows approaching him (they had their backs to the light, which was shining on them).

"Is this yellow monkey worth sending two of us? Any one of us is enough to deal with him." A man said disdainfully.

"I heard that the guy is extremely cunning, so the boss sent us here. Who knew I would run into him by accident. If you weren't my friend, I wouldn't want to share this credit with others!" another man chuckled.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll invite you to have some fun later, how about that?"

"Well, I won't be polite with you."

The two men laughed.

"What should I do? Am I going to die just after arriving in this world?"

Ling Zhan listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, his eyes kept rolling and his fingers clenched. He really didn't expect that the original owner would actually offend the gangsters and leave him a mess after his death. Ling Zhan felt that he was really unlucky.

The two men were tall and strong, with bright white teeth, and they must be black men. This was what Ling Zhan observed.

"No, now is not the time to think about this!" (The enemy is only 20 steps away from him now)

"Please, is there a God? I can be the police, I can be put in jail, I don't want to die! I'm only in my 20s!"

Ling Zhan was filled with despair. He felt so helpless at this moment. They were both time travelers, so why was there such a big gap between them?

"Ding!" A crisp bell rang. (The enemy is 10 steps away from Ling Zhan)

"Here it comes..." Ling Zhan felt excited at first, but then felt uncomfortable.

"How could this happen?... Never mind, I can only take a gamble," Ling Zhan made a virtual grab with his right hand, and a sword with a red scabbard appeared in his hand. The texture of the metal felt unfamiliar to him.

Ling Zhan's mind is now filled with a large amount of information, but he doesn't care about so much. It only takes a moment for him to quickly sort out and pick out the sword moves that are useful to him.

Ling Zhan finished his preparations, got into position, half-knelt down, held the scabbard, and pulled the sword out a little with his right hand.

Ling Zhan was waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity to attack. He held the hilt tightly, even rubbing it, for fear of losing his grip.

Six steps away, Ling Zhan held his breath and concentrated, his chest rising and falling, and his body trembling.

At this moment, the environment was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the other person's heavy footsteps on the floor and Ling Zhan's own heartbeat.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Two steps away, when the enemy came to the front of the car, a gust of wind blew towards them, and they were startled at first.

In the dark alley, a silver arc of light first streaked upward from bottom to top, and then quickly drew an arc between the two people.

After a slight sound of metal friction, there was a "thump!" and the enemy fell to the ground.

Ling Zhan's movements were very smooth, just like a soldier who had experienced many battles over the years. Only he knew his own strength, and the original owner of this body must have experienced many battles.

Ling fought for survival, and he fought back before death and smashed the broken jar, which triggered the body's combat memory (muscle memory).

If it were normal, I don’t know how many times I would die.

Ling Zhan's palms were now full of sweat and he could barely hold his weapon.

Ling Zhan took a few breaths, then suddenly let go of his weapon, leaned against the wall, and vomited continuously, with a bunch of pungent and smelly stuff coming out of his mouth.

It took Ling Zhan a while to recover. This...experiencing it in person was indeed very different from just watching.

He killed someone, yes, he killed someone!

Ling Zhan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "They wanted to kill me, and they are gangsters. I am also getting rid of harm for the people. Well, that's it!"

Ling Zhan tried hard to convince himself, but after all, he was just an ordinary person with a little intelligence. He still couldn't accept taking away a living life with his own hands. If the other party was not a bad guy, he would feel guilty for a long time.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time," Ling Zhan searched the other person and found some scattered US dollars, about 100 US dollars, and a credit card.

After the credit card is stable, we will see if the system has the ability to crack it. Generally speaking, it is enough for him to survive.

When Ling Zhan approached, he saw the blood turning from red to black through the faint light, and he vomited again.

Ling Zhan felt that he had to leave immediately, but the weapon in his hand made him feel troubled.

Where should he put it? This was his only self-defense weapon, and that damn system didn’t have any tutorials for beginners, so he couldn’t get any help from heaven or earth.

Ling Zhan still felt that escaping was the most important thing, and just as he was about to leave, the sword disappeared.

"Could it be..." Ling Zhan thought of something. With one thought, the sword appeared in his hand again. With another thought, the sword disappeared.

After Ling Zhan understood the principle, he ran without sparing any energy.

In short, he runs as far as he can.
