"Sigh, how f * cking unlucky. Why am I so stupid? I'm a top student who graduated from a key university. How could I make such a low-level mistake?”Linley walked through the busy streets, a silver-white phone in his hand. He shook his head and sighed.
It turned out that today was the day Linley had gone to China Mobile to apply for a job. As the head of the information industry in China, China Mobile treated its employees fairly well. In order to get this job, Linley had already started preparing a month before the interview. He had gone online to look for information and familiarized himself with the various businesses of China Mobile. He had even bought a suit for today's interview. Although it was just a low-class suit, it had cost Linley quite a bit of money. Linley had been pained for quite some time, but when he thought about the benefits and benefits of working at China Mobile, this initial investment was worth it.
It could be said that Linley had made 120% of his preparations for today's job interview, and had even gone there with the determination that he could only succeed and not fail.
The heavens did not disappoint those who put in effort. What they put in, they really did get what they deserved. Linley's eloquence was quite good, and he was able to answer the interviewers 'questions fluently. He maintained a confident smile on his face, and in the short five minutes of the interview, Linley's performance was extremely outstanding. In addition, Linley had graduated from a prestigious university, and had obtained CET-4, CET-6, and so on. After answering the interviewer's last question, and seeing the interviewer nod his head slightly, Linley began to fantasize. He could even foresee his future life. A monthly salary of nearly ten thousand dollars, working nine to five, and even having an air-conditioned sofa in his office. This was simply the life of a top-grade white-collar worker!
However, before Linley's blissful fantasies could end, a bucket of cold water suddenly poured over him.
"Linley, right? I'm sorry, but you don't meet our company's recruitment requirements!”The interviewer's calm words struck Linley's heart like a bolt of lightning.
"W-why?" Linley immediately snapped out of his reverie and asked excitedly. Could it be that all his efforts over the past month had been in vain? Would they all turn into water flowing eastward? Linley wasn't willing to accept this, but at this moment, Linley knew that he had been a little too excited. Calming himself down, he asked,"Please give me a reason?"
Hearing this, the interviewer glanced sideways at Linley, then said in a cold voice, What's your phone number?"
Hearing this, Linley subconsciously said,“131……”
Boom! I understand now. Everything is clear now. For Linley to be able to get into a prestigious university and graduate without a hitch, he naturally wasn't an idiot. After being reminded by the interviewer, he immediately knew where the problem was. He had come to China Mobile for an interview, and the contact information on his resume was actually filled in with the number of China Mobile…
This was the number Linley had been using since his first year of university, and he had never changed it. He hadn't expected that this small mistake would cause him to brush past China Mobile.
Linley's family wasn't rich, and could even be considered poor. His parents were farmers, and they left early and returned late every day, facing the earth and facing the sky. They provided for him and his younger sister, Lin Ruo, who was six years younger than him, to go to school. Because of his family background, Linley had indeed worked hard in his studies. He was the first student to graduate from a prestigious university in his hometown, and this had always been the pride of his parents. After entering university, there were many temptations. The students around him fell in love, and those who played online games played online games. The hard work of the senior year had long disappeared. But Linley was different. Other than studying, his only hobby was probably reading online novels.
With the popularity of the Internet and the explosive development of the information society, all kinds of online novels appeared like bamboo shoots after a rain. As for Linley, he had fallen in love with this type of fast-food literature. He had read all of the divine works of the various Gods on the Internet. If one were to ask Linley which novel he liked the most, then it would definitely be the Tomato God's Coiling Dragon. "Coiling Dragon" truly was a classic among classics, but what Linley liked the most about it was that the main character had the same name as him. Ever since he had read "Coiling Dragon", Linley had often fantasized that he would replace the Linley in the book, that he would be able to control life and death in the world of "Coiling Dragon", that he would be able to laugh and be proud of the world.
Linley tossed the phone that had been with him for four years into his pocket, then raised his head to look up at the sky. He thought of his parents 'increasingly hunched backs, and of his little sister, Lin Ruo, who was still in her prime, but didn't have a single bright dress. He had originally wanted to decline his postgraduate recommendation and start working as soon as possible to make up for his family's expenses. He wanted to improve his parents' lives, buy his little sister new clothes, and send her to a better school…but because of his small mistake, all of this had turned into bubbles.
For this job, Linley had missed out on the best time to apply for it. By now, all the applications for the various famous companies had already been completed. If he wanted to find a good job, he would have to wait until next year. But next year, would he be able to compete with his juniors?
But of course, this blow wasn't enough to break Linley's firm heart. After calming himself down, Linley walked towards the talent market. However, just as he glanced at it, he saw a black shadow flying towards him from the sky. Before he could react, he felt his vision go black and he fainted.
"Brother, what's wrong? Father is still waiting for you to go to class!”
By the time Linley woke up, he heard a childish voice ringing out in his ears.
Puzzled, Linley lowered his head, only to see a little boy standing in front of him, staring at him with a pair of large, watery eyes.
Linley turned his head and looked around. The unfamiliar environment, the wooden doorsteps that didn't fit in with modern society, and the ancient aura that assaulted him…all of this caused Linley's brain to crash.
"Brother, brother, why are you silly again?”
Seeing his brother staring blankly at the door, the child shook his brother's arm, trying to wake him up.
Being shaken by someone, Linley once again woke up. He stretched out his hand and pinched his own thigh with all his might. The piercing pain told Linley that this was all real. This wasn't a dream. But if this wasn't a dream, why would he appear here for no reason? Could it be that he had transmigrated?
Linley, who had read countless web novels about transmigration, and who often dreamed of transmigrating himself, naturally had an extraordinary ability to accept things. But all of this was just his guess…
Coming back to his senses, Linley stared at the brawny little boy in front of him. Thinking back to how the boy had addressed him as 'big brother', he asked,"Am I your brother?"
"That's right. You've always been my brother.”The little boy grinned when he saw his brother speak.
Hearing this, Linley noticed that his body had actually shrunk by more than half compared to before. He estimated that he was only seven or eight years old, while the child in front of him was only three or four years old.
"Brother, what is my name?"
By now, Linley had already accepted the fact that he had transmigrated. Although this was hard to accept, wasn't this what he had always dreamed of? Since the truth was already a foregone conclusion, why bother to investigate? The most important thing now was to figure out where he had transmigrated to. Was it through space or time, or both? Since the little boy in front of him had decided that he was his older brother, Linley, in order not to reveal any flaws, accepted this role.
"Your name is Linley. Big brother, don't you even remember your own name?”Although the little boy in front of him wasn't very sensible, he was still suspicious of Linley's illogical questions.
"You…" Linley was just about to ask him how he knew his name, but then, thinking about it, he realized that perhaps this person he had transmigrated to was also called Linley. Thinking of this, Linley changed the question."Then what's your name, little brother?"
"Big brother, my name is Wharton!" The little boy in front of him said with an aggrieved expression. After saying that, he pursed his lips and tears flowed down his face. Could it be that his brother had even forgotten his name? As he thought of this, Wharton's eyes filled with tears, almost bursting out of them.
Wharton? Hearing this, Linley was startled. He had the feeling that he had heard the name Wharton somewhere before, but he couldn't quite remember where he had heard it.
Right at this moment, a voice rang out from behind Linley."Young master Linley, your father is still waiting for you to go to class. Leave young master Wharton to me.”
Turning his head, Linley saw an old man with rosacea walking towards him. Right at this moment, Linley finally realized why he was so familiar with Wharton's name. In his beloved book,'Coiling Dragon,' wasn't the main character Linley's younger brother called Wharton? His name is Wharton, and mine is Linley. I'm his older brother. Could this be the world of the [Coiling Dragon]? I transmigrated to the world of the [Coiling Dragon] and replaced Linley? Did my dream come true?
Not waiting for Linley to continue thinking, Housekeeper Hiri's voice rang out once more."Young master Linley, are you tired from training? Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. Don't make your father wait.”
Hearing these words, Linley, who was extremely familiar with the plot of Coiling Dragon, immediately confirmed that he had indeed transmigrated to the world of Coiling Dragon. Although he was shocked, he clearly didn't have the time to think about this right now.
Imitating Linley's personality from the book, he replied," Got it, Grandpa Hiri!"
After washing up and changing into a set of clean clothes, Linley entered the living room. At this moment, Hogbaruch was seated with his back straight at the dining table. In front of Hogg were three thick books.
"Father!" Linley bowed respectfully. The plot was similar. Although Linley had never met Hogg before, he knew that this stern-faced man was Linley's father, the current head of the Baruch clan, Hogg Baruch. At the same time, he would also be her cheap father in the future.
The plot of the original book hadn't changed. Hogg nodded coldly, and Linley then walked over to stand not too far away from Hogg.
"Yesterday, I told you about all the kingdoms of the Yulan continent. Now, repeat it to me.”Hogg said coldly.
All the countries of the Yulan continent? Linley began to sweat. Although he was very familiar with the plot of "Coiling Dragon," he wasn't that familiar with it. The original book only had a brief summary of the various factions of the Yulan continent, and didn't mention anything else in detail. Even as a loyal fan of "Coiling Dragon," he only had a vague understanding of this matter.
But from the original book, Linley knew that Hogg's family was extremely strict, and Linley's education in the original book was even more strict. There was no room for disobedience at all. It seemed that he had to answer this question today, whether he wanted to or not.
As he thought of this, Linley began to recall the plot of the Coiling Dragon. Just as Hogg couldn't help but scold him, Linley stammered,"The entire Yulan continent has three great danger zones. The first is the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, the second is the Sunset Mountains, and the first is the Forest of Darkness. The three perilous lands occupied a vast area. The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts stretched from the north to the south of the continent, spanning over ten thousand kilometers. There were countless magical beasts within, and there were even Saint-level magical beasts that possessed the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Because of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, the entire continent had become different.”
The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, the Sunset Mountains, and the Forest of Darkness were places that were often mentioned in the later stages of the original novel of the Coiling Dragon. Linley was quite familiar with them.
Raising his head slightly, he glanced at Hogg's cold face. Linley's heart began to race. He vaguely remembered that in the original book, Linley had analyzed the various empires and alliances, and then, because he had forgotten how many duchies and kingdoms the Holy Alliance had, Hogg had rewarded him with a piece of thorny cloth.
Looks like I'll have to eat the brambles today no matter what. Since he couldn't avoid a fight, he would just say it according to his memory.
After organizing his memories, Linley continued,"To the west of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, there are two major alliances. They are the Holy Union, which belongs to the Radiant Church, and the Dark Alliance, which belongs to the Cult of Shadows.”
"To the east of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, there are four great empires. They are the Yulan Empire, the O'Brien Empire, the Rhine Empire, and the Rohault Empire.”
At this point, Linley stopped. He only remembered the names of these empires and alliances. As for where these empires and alliances were located, how many dukedoms and kingdoms were there, and so on, he couldn't remember any of these questions. In any case, he had already prepared himself to eat the brambles. After all, in the original novel, Linley had also been punished with brambles.
"Is that all?" Hogg's face turned cold, and he continued,"Let me ask you, how many kingdoms and duchies does the Holy Union have?”
"Our Holy Union has, has…" Linley pretended to think. Although he was going to eat the brambles, he still had to make some expressions. If Hogg found out that he was a transmigrator and that he had taken over his son's body, he would lose his life. Although the possibility of this happening was extremely low, they had to take precautions.
"Humph."
Hogg's face turned cold, and he took out a thorny branch from his side. Seeing this, Linley very tactfully stretched out his right hand.
The muscles in Hogg's eyes twitched, and with two thuds, the thorny stick in his hand struck Linley's right hand. Linley's right palm immediately had two bloody wounds. Linley gritted his teeth and endured it, not even letting out a grunt. But in his heart, he was cursing at Hogg. He clearly remembered that in the original novel, Linley had only been beaten once, but he had been beaten twice. It seemed that the number of answers he gave would determine the amount of punishment! However, when he thought about how he had occupied the son's body and even killed his soul, he felt that it was a small compensation.
"Linley, you have to remember that we are currently living in the Holy Union. We have to understand the matters of the Holy Union the best!”Hogg looked coldly at his son."In the entire Yulan continent, there are roughly six major factions, four major Empires, and two major alliances!”
These were the words in the book. Linley nodded fiercely. However, he was cursing in his heart.'You didn't make it clearer than I did. What reason do you have to hit me?' It's fine if you hit me, but at the very least, you gave me the same treatment as the Linley in the original book. But you hit me twice! But of course, this was just a thought in his mind. Linley didn't dare to bring it up.
The next part of the story was similar to what had happened in the original book. Hogg began to teach Linley the general knowledge of the continent, and Linley behaved extremely obediently. A wise man wouldn't fight when the odds were against him. In addition, his palm, which had been hit twice, was still aching. Linley didn't dare to ask for another beating.
