Jinjiang City was a coastal city near the East China Sea.
The level of economic development had already reached the level of a first-tier city. In addition, it was located along the coast, and the environment was not bad. The pollution situation was not very serious, and the tourism industry was developed. It was an ideal city to settle down in.
However, even in such a modern city, there were also similar "slums".
The " slums " mentioned here were located not far from the city center of Jinjiang City, but they were completely different from the high-rise buildings in the city center.
This was actually the Laocheng District of Jinjiang City. In the process of building a new Urban area, the demolition of the dilapidated and old houses here was halfway done, but it was stopped because of a problem with the contracting company. As a result, the current unfinished buildings of the last century were only slightly better than the dilapidated buildings.
Nowadays, those who had received the demolition funds or the housing subsidy earlier or had the ability to move out had long left the " slums " of this modern city. The remaining residents who stayed or moved in were people at the bottom of society with poor living conditions.
A few kilometers away from the 'slums' was the most prosperous area in the city. There were all kinds of high-end office buildings and landmark buildings, and the place was bustling day and night.
This ironic contrast made people sigh.
Li Ping 'an was one of them.
He was also one of the residents of this " slum ".
The name 'Li Ping' an 'sounded very ordinary, and it was indeed so. From the meaning of the name his parents gave him, it could be seen that they did not expect their child to be successful in the future. They only hoped that he could grow up safely and live his life like an ordinary person.
Up until now, Li Ping 'an was a fourth-year student who was about to graduate. In his 22 years of life, he had not done anything earth-shattering. It could be said that he was not good enough. However, this was also his parents 'wish.
Unfortunately, when Li Ping 'an was 14 years old, his parents passed away in an accident. No relatives were willing to adopt him, leaving him alone and living alone until now.
While this quickly cultivated Li Ping 'an's independent ability, it also developed his slightly solitary personality and unwillingness to spend time on interpersonal relationships. For example, during his four years in university, Li Ping 'an had almost no other acquaintances other than his roommates.
Li Ping 'an's life was not well-off. Although he had the property and inheritance left by his parents, as well as a sum of compensation, it was not much. It was just enough for him to live to adulthood.
That was why he chose to move out of his house and rent it out while he moved here to rent a cheap bungalow. At the same time, she insisted on working outside to support her family.
And in his long lonely time, the only things that could accompany him were ACG, which meant anime, comics, and games. Of course, there were also all kinds of peripheral figurines and all kinds of otaku activities…
In other words, Li Ping 'an was an otaku.
Unlike some small country, in China, although the " otaku " group was not in the majority, they were not as hated as the street rats. Many people who were not otakus would occasionally come into contact with some animations, so there was no need to hide their daily lives. Of course, the premise was that you had to be a little more sociable.
Of course, Li Pingan had already passed the second phase. Although he didn't really care about what others thought, he didn't want to get into any trouble either. Therefore, he would still interact with others according to basic social etiquette. Therefore, in the eyes of his classmates, Li Pingan was just a little introverted. A guy who liked to watch cartoons was still an ordinary person.
Yes, an ordinary person.
Even Li Pingan himself thought so.
Until tonight.
At this time, Li Ping 'an had just returned from working in the nearest medium-sized supermarket. When he returned to the rented room, it was already eight or nine o'clock at night. In addition, even if the sun went down, the weather was still very hot. Li Pingan was covered in sweat. He was about to take a shower in the bathroom when he realized that the water in his bathroom seemed to be cut off again.
The word used here was " again ". The reason was naturally because this kind of thing had happened too many times, especially in the current midsummer season, where the city's electricity and water resources were very tight. It would be cut off every three to five days.
Therefore, even though Li Pingan could not help but mutter " damn it " and curse, he did not take it to heart.
He poured some cold water into the basin from the cooler on the kitchen table. Then, he took off his sweat-soaked shirt and exposed his naked body. Then, he wrung the water with a towel and wiped the sweat off his body. He felt a cool sensation on his body. He casually threw the towel beside the sink and rushed into his room.
Li Pingan turned on the light and was delighted to find that the electricity in the rented house did not go out with the tap water.
This meant that he could spend the night enjoying the animation again. He could watch this year's new release in July, or he could spend the night watching old animations.
After a day of hard work and studying, Li Pingan enjoyed his favorite entertainment activities. This kind of time was really wonderful for Li Pingan.
Li Pingan's eyes quickly scanned between the computer and the LCD projector. In the end, he chose to sit in front of the computer desk and turned on the computer button.
I'd better watch the new show tonight! Li Pingan thought.
However, after waiting in the chair for a while, the familiar boot screen and music did not appear on the computer screen.
On the contrary, it was gradually turning from black to bright pure white.
"Strange, is it a virus? Or is the hardware damaged?" Li Ping 'an was a little puzzled. He scratched the back of his head with his hand. But that was from a very safe channel…Cough, this had never happened before.”
Li Pingan muttered to himself and realized that the image on the computer screen did not change much.
He frowned and tapped the computer hard.
Then, a line of black words slowly appeared in the pure white.
[Do you find this world boring?]
Do you have any unusual fantasies?]
Do you want to have the power to conquer everything?]
Li Pingan raised his eyebrows.
Could it really be a hacker's virus?
And from these few sentences, this hacker was also a…chuunibyou?
Before he could react, the last line of words appeared.
[Are you willing to participate in this game where everything is blocked?]
[YN]
Li Pingan looked at everything in front of him in a daze.
A pure white space was emitting a faint and gentle light.
Li Ping 'an's body was floating in this white world of light, as if his entire body was soaked in water.
It felt like a baby returning to its mother's womb. It was comfortable and gave people a sense of security.
However, this feeling disappeared in an instant. Soon, Li Ping 'an fell from the sky.
What appeared in front of him was a huge chess piece.
It was the " king chess piece " in chess. Its top was submerged in the clouds formed by the white radiance, reaching into the clouds. Even if he tried his best to raise his head, he could not see its full appearance.
This " Wang Qi " was like a towering mountain, standing in front of Li Pingan.
"What…is this?" Li Pingan, who was in shock, could not help but mutter to himself.
He first pinched his arm hard. The clear pain from there made Li Ping 'an understand that he was not in a dream.
He could still remember what happened before he came to this space.
At that time, he was excitedly preparing to turn on his computer to watch the new TV series, but he discovered that a hacker who might be a chuunibyou had attacked his computer with a virus. Therefore, a row of words that often appeared in " infinite " novels," Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to live?”Words like that.
In the end, there seemed to be a game that he wanted to participate in.
Of course, Li Ping 'an did not take it to heart. He only pressed the enter key to test it.
In the end…he came here inexplicably.
Could it be that it wasn't a prank by the hackers, but the real situation?
The next second, the truth was revealed.
An indescribably majestic voice with a mechanical and calm tone came down from the sky.
"Player 10086, welcome to the King Selection Game.”
"The attribute panel has been updated. Please check the Player Brand.”
At the same time, Li Ping 'an felt a heat on the back of his hand. He looked down and realized that a bright red complex symbol had slowly appeared on the back of his hand. It was also emitting a faint red light. It looked exquisite and mysterious, and it was extremely high-end.
Judging from its shape, it looked like the spell that represented Master in the Fate series of the Type-Moon world view.
"Newbie benefits are being distributed…players, please prepare.”
The voice that was so grand that it could penetrate the world but did not contain any human emotion sounded again.
Before Li Pingan's brain could fully understand what had happened, he felt as if the world had turned upside down. His vision blurred, and he arrived in a new space.
This time, what appeared in front of him was a huge roulette.
"Uh…what is this?" Li Pingan scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
"There is one minute left to collect the novice benefits.”
"Wait…wait!" Li Ping 'an instinctively felt that something was wrong and shouted anxiously.
The current situation clearly did not allow him to think too much.
So, the so-called newbie benefits…were on this wheel? So you want me to draw it myself?
Li Ping 'an immediately shouted.
"Begin!"
As expected, the wheel immediately began to spin at a speed that human dynamic vision could not capture. It was like a blurry shadow.
Considering that the " novice benefit " was only given for a minute, Li Pingan did not carefully examine the pattern on the roulette and quickly shouted.
"Stop!"
The speed of the wheel kept slowing down until it stopped.
The picture the needle stopped on was a book with a black hardcover.
"Hmm, could it be a magic book or something?”Li Pingan was curious.
" Player 10086, the novice welfare lottery has ended. The welfare has been distributed to the player's brand.”
[You have obtained a special item (Upgradeable, current level: LV1): Holy Book of Darkness (Dark Bible).] The only binding item."
The Dark Bible?
Li Ping 'an revealed a subtle expression.
Zhu Xiaoyan-Ghost Crying Street.
Da Qiao-" Matchless Love " series.
Masanori Koto Kashiwagi-" Dream Wings ".)
The original work of this work was actually an adult-oriented GAL, which was later adapted into an animation. The story revolved around a book with terrifying magic power, which was the Holy Book of Darkness (Dark Bible).
The spell recorded on it could distort a person's will and make an originally pure woman fall in love unconditionally…no, almost crazily infatuated with a specific man.
It could even use a woman's chastity and life to summon a demon and let the user sign a contract with the demon.
However, this was the power of a demon. How could an ordinary person control the power of a demon without paying a price?
Humans were unable to contend against demons. Therefore, although everyone who used this book obtained a certain amount of benefits, they also lost something more precious.
As a man, Li Ping 'an naturally had a dark and dirty mentality. Therefore, he could not say that he did not have the slightest desire for the Dark Bible that could control women to fall in love with him.
However, he didn't think he would use it. No matter how powerful it was.
Perhaps Li Ping 'an's only strength was his self-awareness. He didn't think he had the self-control to resist the temptation of the Holy Book of Darkness.
But soon, Li Ping 'an changed his mind.
Because he saw the description of the Dark Bible.
"This item is the complete version. The power of darkness and powerful demons residing in it will completely obey its master's will.”
... His worries were resolved.
Without hesitation, Li Ping chose to bind the equipment.
Hence, the description of the equipment appeared in front of him.
