The sound of the television rang in his ears.
It was still the news, which had been playing for the entire day.
There were all sorts of reports, big and small.
However, Ling Ping’an was in a daze.
It was only at this moment that he finally recovered a little of his energy.
Once again, he could feel the stimulation of the outside world.
The voice on the television gradually became clearer.
“Legend of Nightmare’s gaming cabin. The first gaming cabin will be sent out today at 6:01 p.m….”
“The person who obtained this gaming cabin is a lucky player from Jiangcheng City!”
On the television, a staff member wearing an black uniform was carrying a huge object onto a van with the legend of Nightmare’s exclusive delivery car.
On his side, the flashlights kept flashing and recording this moment.
“It is reported that the delivery of the game cabin will be handled by the professionals hired by Nightmare Group.
“They will ensure that the game cabin will arrive on time for the customer, and assist the customer with the relevant installation and guidance!”
Ling Ping’an sat up and shook his head vigorously.
“Meow!”
Bastet was acting coquettishly by his feet, so he gently reached out and picked up his pet.
“Little Darling…” he muttered to himself, “I feel very tired today…”
Ever since the customer left, he had been muddle-headed and drowsy for an entire day.
The stimulation in the outside world had almost disappeared.
Just like a hibernating snake, he didn’t know the reason why he was so tired.
“Meow!”
The kitten meowed softly, as if it was saying something.
“You mean…” Ling Ping’an lowered his head and looked at his pet’s beautiful amber eyes. “I’ll often do this in the future?”
“Meow!”
The little guy stuck out his tongue and licked the back of his master’s hand affectionately.
“I see!” Ling Ping’an didn’t let himself think. He nodded and said, “Then let nature take its course!”
He only wanted to live his past life now.
…
Li An’an looked at the two staff members who were carrying the huge cardboard boxes into the door.
They were wearing dark green uniforms.
On the chest of the clothes, there were balls of light with an unknown meaning.
“Miss…” The middle-aged man who seemed to be from Kunlun smiled and handed her a form. “This is your game cabin installation list… Please sign it!”
She took the form and glanced at the form: Legend of Nightmare’s special user installation list.
Below it was the description of the relevant hardware and software.
These hardware and software all belonged to Nightmare Group.
Nightmare Engine, Nightmare Swing, Nightmare Channel..
She couldn’t understand them, but the words in the description made her alert.
“You will have the exclusive game cabin of Legend of Nightmare…”
“Your game cabin will enjoy the following privileges:”
“A: Undying! No matter what damage you receive in the game world or any other nightmare region, you will still remain safe. Of course, you will lose all your gains in this world and may drop a random piece of equipment!”
“B: Absolute Defense: No game skill or nightmare world character can track and lock your soul!”
“C: VIP: You are a Nightmare VIP, so whenever you trade with the realm of Nightmare, you will enjoy the most preferential treatment!”
“Most preferential treatment: Regardless of how the other characters in the realm of nightmare are treated in the game, you will always enjoy the highest benchmark discount and the lowest benchmark guarantee. For example: a merchandise. The realm of Nightmare’s recovery price is 500 point certificate. The selling price is 800 point certificate. However, certain nightmare quests or talents can allow other related parties to trade with the realm of nightmare in a way that is higher than the realm of Nightmare’s fixed price. Once you do so, you can enjoy the treatment of that person. This discount will always be updated. Whenever you make a trade with the realm of nightmare, it will automatically refresh the treatment of the Nightmare Realm! ”
“This authority has the priority of time and space!”
“D: Eye of Nightmare: When you are in the Nightmare Realm, you can pay a point certificate and use this function to identify any target to obtain the detailed data of the target!”
Looking at these descriptions, Li An’an’s eyelids twitched violently.
“This legend of nightmare of yours…” she asked the other party, “Can it really…”
The other party smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.
He then said respectfully, “Miss, that is a problem that other people need to worry about…”
“To you, this is really just a game!”
“During the game process, it will never threaten your life, privacy, or any other aspects!”
“You just have to enjoy the game to your heart’s content!”
As he uttered that, the game cabin’s packaging was opened by the staff.
The true appearance of the game cabin was revealed.
It was a silver-white rectangular cabin filled with a sense of the future.
The cabin was as spacious as a bed.
There was no charger or charging port or anything like that.
Instead, there were only two balls-like things standing at the two ends of the cabin.
The staff aimed the two objects on the grooves of the cabin and gently pressed them down.
As the cabin was activated, a light shadow shot out of the cabin and landed on Li Anan.
The gear-like objects in the cabin started to rotate slowly.
A moment later, the silver metal cabin cover on the surface of the cabin automatically shrank to the two sides.
A mechanical electronic voice came from it, “Welcome! Distinguished Distinguished Guest of Nightmare, Miss Li An’an!”
“I am your Nightmare Assistant!”
“When you are playing games in the Nightmare Realm, nightmare world, and even the realm of nightmare, I will be at your service at any time!”
Hearing this voice, the doubt on Li An’an’s face grew even more.
She wanted to ask further, but the middle-aged man bowed politely. “Miss Li, your questions can be answered in the Realm of Nightmare!”
After saying that, he and his men left.
Li An’an watched him close the door and then turned back to look at the silver metal cabin that was at least two meters long.
There were questions in her beautiful eyes, but more than that, she was uneasy.
She looked at the instruction manual and documentation that the other party had given her.
Then she looked at the list.
“When your life is threatened…”
She frowned.
“What? The Legend of Nightmare may threaten life?”
“Will Ping’an be alright?”
Holding her phone, she hesitated.
…
At the same time, something was about to happen in a residential building on construction road of Jiangcheng City,
A black van quietly drove here.
It seemed to have appeared out of thin air and stopped at the residential building.
After the staff in black uniforms got out of the car expressionlessly, they opened the door.
Then, they moved a box out of the car and walked into the residential building.
The people around them ignored them as if they were transparent.
After that, they went upstairs. This was an old residential building. There were no elevators.
There were only dark stairs that couldn’t even be lit up.
But they walked quickly and carried the box as if they were walking on flat ground.
They went up to the seventh floor, turned around, and arrived in front of a very simple house.
All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door.
The neighbors next door were cooking. When they heard the knock on the door, they stuck their heads out to take a look. Upon noticing that it was a few strangers, they knew that they were not to be trifled with, so they retreated back.
“The kid from the Huang family only knows how to play games all day long!” The woman who was cooking shook her head. “I reckon that he is out in debt and someone has come looking for him!”
As she spoke, she turned to look at her daughter. “Remember, no matter what happens, don’t go out… or else you will get into trouble!”
Her daughter pouted unhappily, but under the pressure of her mother, she could only nod.
The knocking on the door next door continued.
The girl who listened attentively felt a little worried.
After about three minutes, a young man’s voice came from next door. “Who is it?”
Someone’s footsteps could be heard.
It was Brother Huang!
The girl’s heart was in a mess.
She and her brother had been childhood sweethearts since they were young.
She always remembered that when she was bullied when she was young, it was Brother Huang who stood up for her.
Especially when she was in junior high school, two hooligans outside stopped her on the road.
At that time, she had already finished high school. Brother Huang did not manage to get into a university because his result was not very good. He kicked the two hooligans to the ground one by one and even protected her all the way home.
In her impression, Brother Huang had always been a cheerful and big brother.
Unfortunately, after she entered university, everything was completely different.
The distance between the two became farther and farther.
Even when they met, the other party would avoid her.
Especially after she graduated, the other party would think of ways to avoid her.
The girl knew the reason.
She was a top student at a famous university. Once she graduated, she entered a Fortune 500 company to work.
The starting salary was 30,000 RMB.
As for Brother Huang, because he didn’t have a degree, he couldn’t even get a normal job.
He could still deliver takeout in the first half of the year.
However, in the second half of the year, he couldn’t even deliver takeout, so he could only eat at home.
The girl wanted to encourage him and visit him several times.
But in the end, she stopped at the door.
Because she knew that brother Huang’s self-esteem wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Moreover, it might cause a conflict in the neighborhood.
She understood her mother well, who only wanted her to marry into a wealthy family. At the very least, she was from a scholarly family.
Therefore, it was impossible for her to take a liking to the “poor kid” next door.
Once there was a hint, he would immediately fly into a rage.
The entire building would hear her roar.
Thinking of this, the girl leaned against the door and carefully listened to the movements outside.
“I am a deliveryman!” The person at the door said in an extremely cold tone.
“Delivery?” Brother Huang’s voice was filled with doubt. “I have delivery?”
“Yes!” The person replied, “We are under orders to escort your game cabin!”
Brother Huang’s tone immediately changed. “The game cabin?”
His tone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
…
Huang Qin opened the door and saw a few strangers with a big box appearing at his door.
They were wearing inky black clothes.
The patterns on their clothes were similar to a ball of light.
“Huang Qin, right?” The leader of the group didn’t have any expression. He didn’t look like a human. Instead, he asked like a machine.
Without waiting for his answer, he walked in with his people.
“Game cabin, where do you want to install it?” he asked.
“In the bedroom!” Huang Qin asked nervously, “Can I?”
“Of course!” the person replied.
“But…”
“Before you install it, sign this first!” He took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
A dark red piece of paper.
As soon as this piece of paper was taken out, Huang Qin felt a little uneasy.
He took it and looked at the contents of the paper under the light.
“Life and death contract!” His hand that was holding the paper seemed to have been burned.
The words seemed to have been poured into his brain.
Countless terms and conditions, all of which were responsibility.
Not to be disclosed…
Not to be violated…
If it was violated, it would be nullified!
Looking at the terms and conditions on the paper, Huang Qin knew the meaning of erased.
Electrocution, drowning, car accident, heart attack, cerebral hemorrhage..
All in all, the cause of death was an accident.
But in fact, brains and bodies had already exploded before the accident.
“You can choose not to sign!” The cold man said faintly, “In that case, your game cabin will be reclaimed by us!”
“And what you see and hear now will also be eliminated by us!”
“You can choose freely!”
Huang Qin swallowed his saliva.
He suddenly laughed, after which he stretched out his hand and asked, “Do you have a pen?”
The other party laughed. “Just press a handprint!”
Huang Qin nodded, stretched out his thumb, and pressed heavily on the lower right corner of the contract.
As the handprint pressed down.
He felt as if there was something extra in his body.
It was as if he had lost something.
Lowering his head, he looked at his left hand which had a mark on it.
It was a closed evil eye.
Only he could see it.
Then, he understood that the so-called game cabin was just a cover.
Of course, he couldn’t say that it was useless.
But, the most important thing was this mark because only it could let him enter the so-called nightmare world.
And the game cabin was just a supplementary function.
To assist people like him who didn’t have the qualifications to enter it.
When he realized this, the person in front of him said, “Alright… we still have to rush to the other homes!”
“These few days, familiarize yourself with it!”
As he said this, these people faded away like shadows in front of his eyes.
Huang Qin took a deep breath and looked at the contract in his hand that was already starting to burn.
After he walked to the bedroom, he saw the inky black metal warehouse.
He leaned over and the pupils on the back of his hand opened.
The lid of the metal warehouse opened.
Inside was a deep space, which was enough for him to lie down and even roll around inside.
Huang Qin’s hands trembled as he caressed it.
“I knew it…”
“I knew it…”
“This world has transcendent being’s strength!”
“And I got the ticket!”
Although this strength required him to gamble with his life.
But, this was enough!
Wasn’t it?
A chance to change his life, a chance to reincarnate.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense that there was someone outside his door, so he walked over and looked at the shadow.
It was the little sister of the Zhang family.
He smiled and opened the door.
He looked at the door, the little sister that he had watched grow up.
This girl who had been deliberately alienated ever since she grew up.
He smiled. “It’s Zhang Meng!”
“Why are you standing in front of your brother’s door?”
The girl looked up and stared at the neighbor that she had grown up with.
He smiled as brightly as how he looked like when he was young.
The girl knew that her brother, whom she had trusted since she was a child, was back.
He no longer felt inferior.
