    Chapter 102

    Yu Tang ended the transmission and opened his eyes.

    After three books, he finally returned to the familiar deserted villa of 300 square meters.

    More than half a year has passed, and the story line of this book still has not undergone any special changes.

    Feng Qing is a "commodity" that was purchased and kept in the villa.

    There is no one else in the villa, but someone will come regularly to clean the room and give him nutrients and nutritional ointments.

    He still plays games, sleeps, and soaks in the massage bathtub alone in the villa.

    The boss, who was obsessed with work and had no emotions, would come over occasionally and never have any contact with him. At most, he would only ask a few questions about his physical condition.

    A simple plot of this level can be easily handled by the character trustee, so even though so much time has passed, Yu Tang has not received an urgent notice urging him to return the book.

    This time, when Yu Tang re-introduced the character, Feng Qing was sitting at the table, taking today's nutritional ointment.

    Without hesitation, Yu Tang notified the system to block the surveillance cameras, and went to the mall to exchange for a bowl of hot milk and a box of cookies.

    The system has become very proficient and blocked the cameras in the villa: "Host, we got a new plot!"

    The system quickly checked the plot: "This time it is complete, including Feng Qing's entire experience, the world view of the world we live in, and also marking the subsequent dangerous plot..."

    Yu Tang lowered his head and sipped the hot, freshly boiled sweet milk in the bowl: "Is Feng Qing's personal history consistent with the plot in my memory?"

    "Consistent." The system said, "It needs to be more detailed."

    Yu Tang nodded.

    ...If he guessed correctly, this was Chuan Bookstore's original regulation that the host should get all the information every time he imported the game.

    This time the terminal forcibly interferes with the world line and triggers self-examination by the surveillance system. This will not be the only bitter pill it suffers.

    Yu Tang put down the familiar small porcelain bowl: "Let's get started."

    His memory of the past was still incomplete, so he adjusted his state and made preparations.

    The system flashed a small red light twice, and all the information in the book was extracted and poured into his sea of consciousness.

    Feng Qing grew up in an orphanage.

    He does not have the fate of the protagonist. He is as ordinary as a speck of dust - he was abandoned since he was a child, grew up in an orphanage, failed to qualify for the scholarship to study, and was adopted by a couple when he was seven years old.Went home.

    He likes to play with puzzles and building blocks, likes to draw, and can make models, animals, and figures out of any materials he can find.

    ——This is a "miracle" that almost all the children in the orphanage worship to the point of admiration.

    These children have been without parents since childhood. The orphanage only provides the most basic food and clothing. Occasionally, they can pick up one or two unwanted toys, which are so rare that everyone has to carefully touch them twice and hug them.

    Feng Qing is not the oldest. The reason why he is the leader among them is because Feng Qing can do everything.

    He can fold the twelve zodiac signs out of waste paper, and make little wooden figures bit by bit that can stand, sit, and move their hands and feet out of scrap wood that others don't want.

    He squatted next to the dough-making stall for three days. He returned to the orphanage, led his "army" into the kitchen, and made a vivid dough-making toy for everyone.

    Because of this hand, Xiao Fengqing has always been the all-powerful "big brother" among the children in the orphanage.

    ...But to Feng Qing's adoptive parents, this hobby has no meaning at all except being out of tune and disappointing.

    They were very dissatisfied with Feng Qing.

    In the eyes of the adoptive parents, these are all bad habits Feng Qing picked up in the orphanage.If they want to correct this wild child, of course they have to be extra strict.

    The neighbor's child was one grade higher than him and was invited by his adoptive father to come to his home to give Feng Qing extra lessons after school every day.

    If you can't learn the things taught in school, you won't be able to eat. If you find him engaging in hobbies that are not his real job, he will be locked up in a small dark room for a night.

    His adoptive parents were gentle people who did not advocate domestic violence, but only used the method they thought was right to discipline Feng Qing.

    It's not that Feng Qing didn't work hard, but he never studied for a day in the orphanage.The more stringent the requirements, the harder it is for him to keep up. Even the simplest elementary enlightenment content is as painful for him as chanting a curse.

    The adoptive parents lost all their patience and sent Feng Qing to the research institute to undergo transformation.

    This is a research institute affiliated to the private technology company where the adoptive parents work. No one knows what the research institute does. What exactly this so-called "transformation" is, the outside world has no idea at all.

    "Here, host." The system opened another document, "This is the information from that institute."

    The plot released this time includes personal biography, character settings and world view, as well as many appendix documents and even video materials of key plots.

    Yu Tang was even a little uncomfortable: "Is this something we can watch for free?"

    "Yes!" The system specifically asked the headquarters and was very sure, "If you think the amount of information is not enough, you can apply again and a detailed explanation will be given..."

    Yu Tang always weighs every penny: "In the past, we were forced to pay to unlock the fragments. Calculate the total experience points and claim ten times from the terminal."

    system:"……"

    Yu Tang now has no shortage of experience points, but he just doesn’t want the terminal to take advantage of him: “If the claim is successful, the remaining nine times will be yours.”

    The system flashed a row of small red lights: "Really?"

    "Really." Yu Tang said, "You can buy whatever you want, even a warehouse of bubble gum."

    The system was instantly full of power, and he went back to check the transaction records with great enthusiasm.

    Yu Tang refueled it through the air, called up the background, and clicked on the document found by the system.

    …This is a completely illegal institute.

    It relies on private technology companies and relies on the protection of the forces behind it to secretly conduct human experiments that fail to pass ethical review.

    The so-called "transformation" that Feng Qing accepted was one of them.

    Through special bioelectrical stimulation of the brain of the experimental subject, the mental power is mutated and the new mutant ability is acquired.

    What Feng Qing was sent to undergo was a cruel and inhumane human experiment.

    Yu Tang read the contents of the document from beginning to end.

    Chuan Bookstore has countless parallel worlds under its jurisdiction, and in many interstellar worlds, there are originally settings related to spiritual power.

    Human beings can control mental power, attack with mental power, or possess superpowers due to the mutation of mental power.

    Due to the existence of spiritual power, the dimensions of these worlds will be slightly higher than the world he is in now, and more cosmic resources will be available to him.

    Using special bioelectricity to stimulate the human brain may indeed lead to mental mutation - but because this behavior is too dangerous and cruel, it has long been completely rejected by ethical review, and is a strictly prohibited research project by the alliance officials.

    Even if there are forces secretly protecting it, only in this fringe asteroid belt can such a crazy laboratory be established.

    This laboratory has existed for several years, and most of the experimental subjects have been relatively successful. Some have developed photographic memory, some have super mental arithmetic abilities, and there are even records of people who can use mental power to move objects through space, see through, and rely onAn individual who attacks with mental power.

    Feng Qing's mental power failed to show any variation during the experiment.

    His adoptive parents were completely disappointed with him because of this. Finally, when Feng Qing was thirteen years old, they abandoned him again and returned Feng Qing to the orphanage.

    Feng Qing is too old and can no longer live in the orphanage.

    He went to school and worked everywhere, and at night he secretly went back to sleep with the help of the children in the orphanage.After several months of this, one day after school, I was suddenly stopped in the corridor.

    He recognized this person. He was a senior who was one grade above him. His surname was Zhong and his name was Zhong San.

    Zhong San's parents were neighbors of his adoptive parents. When he was a child, Zhong San went to his house to give him tutoring lessons. Feng Qing also secretly gave Zhong San a little wooden figure.

    Later, Zhong San's family moved away, and the two of them never saw each other again. Unexpectedly, the middle school was assigned to another school.

    He was forcefully dragged home by Zhong San.

    Zhong San's parents travel on business all year round, and Zhong San is the only one in the family.Zhong San tidied up the guest room, let Feng Qing live at home, and prepared food for Feng Qing.

    Zhong San has a cold temperament and talks little, but he is very gentle to him.

    Feng Qing's grades were still not good, and Zhong San didn't force him to study.

    Feng Qing likes to do crafts, is good at puzzles and building blocks, and has an extraordinary sensitivity to spatial structures. Zhong San taught him step by step how to use computer software to create a three-dimensional model and then print it out with a 3D printer.

    Feng Qing was lying on Zhong San's desk, playing with the computer enthusiastically, then quietly raised his head to look at it.

    He saw that the wooden figure he had given him as a child had always been placed on the corner of Zhong San's desk.

    ...The story that follows is no different from the familiar developments in most stories.

    Zhong San and Feng Qing naturally went to school together and grew up together.Zhong San naturally fell in love with Feng Qing.

    Then Feng Qing died at the age of seventeen.

    Died from complications of that transformation.

    So far, this is the entire content of the internship assessment that Yu Tang failed to pass.

    It is also all the content maliciously hidden by the terminal.

    During the internship, employees will be blocked from all original memories. They will not remember who they are or their past. They will completely assume the role and experience the life of the role.

    Yu Tang really died once as Feng Qing.

    When Yu Tang took over this book, he was already trapped in the villa playing games.He still doesn't understand how Feng Qing came to life, how he lost his name and became No. 13, and how he was traded as a commodity to the protagonist of this book.

    Yu Tang didn't even know the name of the protagonist of this book: "Is there a biography of the protagonist?"

    The system has just submitted a claim application. Pull out the protagonist settings and open it on the light screen.

    Yu Tang and the system gathered in front of the light screen: "..."

    This is a cruel joke of fate.

    The protagonist of this book is Zhong San as an adult.

    Zhong San's parents were both investigators of the Alliance Police Department. The year after Feng Qing's death, Zhong San's parents were also silenced during an investigation mission, leaving only some top-secret investigation information.

    Zhong San learned everything from these investigation materials.

    The reason why there are always successful mutants appearing without causing any alarm in the alliance or causing any turmoil is because these mutants have not been released at all.

    The only ones who were released from the research institute were failures like Feng Qing who would die sooner or later.

    The mutants who succeeded in the experiment were put into a battle royale game.

    This is a game with no set rules other than survival. In this chaotic asteroid belt where there is no order, there are people who are looking for excitement and spend a lot of money. These people watch, bet and reward through the dark web., the assets of the banker behind the game have already been immeasurable.

    ——In other words, the order of cause and effect should have been reversed.

    It is precisely for this game that there are constant secret human trades and slave trades, and people are sent to laboratories to receive bioelectric stimulation to promote the emergence of such mutations.

    "But isn't this playing with fire and burning yourself?" The system couldn't figure it out. "It's like this in movies."

    The system and the Dolphin have watched many movies together, and are very familiar with this plot: "The laboratory randomly transformed humans, and finally mutated a super powerful protagonist, destroying the entire evil laboratory..."

    Yu Tang shook his head: "Not here."

    The system is puzzled: "Why?"

    Yu Tang: "Because someone in this interstellar made a deal with the Zerg manipulator."

    The system was stunned for a moment.

    Yu Tang has already straightened out the whole thing: "The hidden plot in this book completes the last link of our current logic."

    Pu Ying also asked him this question before he left the previous book.

    ——If in this interstellar world, the alliance's top management had already traded interstellar space to the Zerg manipulators, what exactly were the benefits of the exchange?

    If it is just to expand power and occupy new stars, it certainly makes sense.

    But if it is just for this purpose, there is actually no need to go to such trouble.

    Yu Tang: "First of all, let's give the Zerg controller a name. Let's call it Terminal."

    system:"……"

    The terminal is now in confinement and can no longer monitor the lower world. Yu Tang is relieved: "Senior Zhan said that he once saw a list called the 'Card Library'."

    Only a few of the skill cards and talent cards in the mall have been programmed.

    More cards come from people who once lived - these people's existence itself was completely destroyed, their data was recycled, and all redundant information was erased, leaving only the most valuable talents and skills.

    But in the final analysis, even if the scope is expanded to an entire star, there are too few targets that can be used as cards.

    It's too little to make a deal with humans, and it's too little to set up a battle royale game to let humans create mutants with powerful abilities, and let humans personally send these mutants into the game.

    Therefore, the definition of these experimental products must be "commodity".

    Since it is a commodity, it must have ownership. As long as it has ownership, it can be exchanged through the mall through the logical system of the monitoring program.

    This battle royale game is an artificially created card pool.

    No matter how powerful the superpowers are created, they cannot escape the surveillance and control from the high-dimensional world. This is absolute control from the plane, and it is a destiny that has been determined long ago.

    In this game, every superpower is a quasi-skill card waiting to be redeemed.

    "There's always a way."

    Yu Tang was not in a hurry to continue thinking about this matter and flipped through two pages of the protagonist's biography: "...In short, Zhong San finally understood the truth about the so-called research institute and the battle royale game through the information left by his parents."

    From this day on, Zhong San began to take revenge on this demon who wantonly controlled people's destiny.

    The system was already prepared to deal with the fourth bad guy. Hearing this, he was stunned: "Is Zhong San a good person?"

    Yu Tang did not answer immediately.

    He thought for a while before giving a verdict: "It used to be."

    In the first story, Zhong San, like Zhuang Yu, was a person who was deprived of everything around him by a conspiracy.

    Zhong San chose revenge, and he was more than half successful - he used many methods to finally acquire the private technology company that was full of evil, and personally avenged his parents and Feng Qing.

    But he went too deep.

    His last target of revenge is the mastermind behind this game.The only way to get close to the mastermind behind the scenes is to continue participating in the game.

    Only by participating in and winning this game can the entire revenge plan be completed.

    ...This is a story about a man who slays a dragon and eventually becomes an evil dragon.

    In order to kill the evil dragon, the dragon slayer tried his best to sneak into the abyss, but he did not realize that he had turned into the shape of the evil dragon.

    In order to take revenge, Zhong San restored the operation of the research institute.

    He buys slaves as commodities everywhere, buys unexpectedly mutated superpowers, adjusts their physical condition to the best, places bets on them, and puts them into games.

    Among these superpowers, the one he has the highest hopes for is No. 13.

    Number 13’s ability is “Reorganization”.

    This kind of reorganization is at the particle level, and is not limited to objects, occasions, or even living beings or not - No. 13 can even reorganize itself.

    In a battle royale game, this is simply a bug-level ability.

    The only drawback is that this recombination is uncertain, and a small part of the particles will be lost after each recombination.

    Zhong San didn't pay attention to such insignificant things.

    In order for No. 13 to completely adjust his condition and enter the game willingly, Zhong San even flirted with him half-heartedly and talked about their relationship for several days.

    I have to admit that there are many aspects of No. 13 that are very similar to Feng Qing. On a few occasions, Zhong San couldn't help but have the illusion that Feng Qing was back.

    But Feng Qing was already dead.

    Zhong San has no interest in finding a substitute. The only thing he wants to do in this world is revenge.

    He can use anyone and everyone becomes his tool.

    In the following plot, No. 13 will be traded by Zhong San to the mastermind behind the scenes and enter the game as a player.

    In order to successfully identify No. 13 and ensure that No. 13 did not escape, he used the most stable composite material and added a pair of electronic shackles to No. 13's ankles.

    With this pair of shackles, no matter how No. 13 is reset, it is impossible to escape privately.

    "The host's physical condition has been adjusted, and we will be traded to the villain soon and enter the game."

    The system said: "In the following plot, Feng Qing will be reset 17 times in the game."

    The game is full of dangers, and you will encounter life and death crises at every step. Reorganization of particles is inevitable.On the tenth reset, Feng Qing began to feel uncomfortable.

    Every time he resets, particles will inevitably escape. He is missing too many particles and has begun to feel clearly inadequate.

    Zhong San didn't pay attention, and just told him that if he passed one more level, one more zero would be added to his reward amount.

    Feng Qing has ten younger brothers and sisters to support. He doesn't remember much anymore, but all the funds and donations for the orphanage have been embezzled. Those children have no food to eat and no education. He needs a lot of money.

    Lots and lots of money.

    After the sixteenth reset, Feng Qing's figure has faded.

    It was even difficult for him to maintain a stable form in the game - he could only barely control himself from floating up, and had to stay awake at all times to ensure that he did not completely escape.

    But he is still alive after all.

    He survived to the end and thus won the game.

    After the player wins, he will have the opportunity to meet the person behind the scenes.Zhong San took advantage of this opportunity to intercept and kill the manipulator behind the game, completing his final revenge.

    Feng Qing did not appear.

    He was too tired to sleep in the villa. His body lost the support of his mental energy and completely dissipated into particles.

    This time, he had no particles to recombine.

    He completely disappeared into the villa, leaving only the electronic shackles that had always restrained him.

    Zhong San didn't care either.

    He has gone too far on the road of revenge, and in order to accomplish this, he has given up a lot of unnecessary things.

    Zhong San thought that he just did the right thing - he had to pay some price for it, and there was no way around it.

    There's always a price to pay.

    The evil man deserves what he deserves, and he should only feel happy that he has avenged his parents and Feng Qing.

    Zhong San has long forgotten that the person who first felt extremely angry and wanted revenge no matter what was the devil who wantonly manipulated the fate of others.

    A year later, Zhong San was about to sell the villa, and his assistant sent No. 13's relics, which contained a video tape.

    No. 13 has a habit of videotaping himself.

    As the particles escape, many memories will be lost. Occasionally, some broken fragments will be recalled due to an unexpected resonance.

    I will write these down on the 13th so that I don’t accidentally forget them next time.

    Zhong San casually clicked on the video.

    In the video, No. 13 is holding the camera with one hand, and his figure has faded to the point that he cannot see clearly.

    "I remembered something today."

    No. 13: "My name is Feng Qing, and I seem to have liked someone."

    He wasn't very attentive when recording, most of his attention was on how to prevent himself from floating up. After thinking hard for a long time, he sighed.

    "I can't remember." No. 13 said.

    Zhong San condensed in front of the picture.

    His entire consciousness and body seemed to be annihilated into particles inch by inch.

    In the picture, No. 13 finally sighed, let go of his hand and let himself float up: "Isn't this a bit of a fuss?"

    "I forgot about the one in front of me, but then I saw someone else and fell in love with him at first sight."

    "It's a pity that he is my boss and I still have to make money."

    No. 13 played with the few particles he had left. A ball of particles condensed into two small wooden figures, which wandered a few steps and scattered in the air.

    Zhong San sat quietly, and No. 13 sighed maturely amid his heartbeat that was about to engulf him.

    In the picture, No. 13 muttered his last words.

    "I should really be dying."

    "My name is Feng Qing, and I seem to like someone."

    "If I were still here when I woke up, I would really like to ask him if he wants to live like this for the rest of his life."

      Wait so does that mean Zhong San is Zhan Chen?

    Note
