The Reborn of Cyberworld

Star Year 2240, Sixth Sector, Jinling City.

Mottled neon lights cover city buildings.

Curtains cast colorful lights and shadows, and virtual water whales passed through the crowds on the zebra crossing.

Everyone is accustomed to this, just like eating and drinking, they come and go naturally.

As the financial center of the Sixth Star District, Jinling City has the most prosperous urban area and the most realistic sky curtain.

Among the bustling crowd, a young man wearing a black sweatshirt was looking up at the neon curtain on the building.

On the huge curtain, a wanted reward was being played. The wanted person was a young man, about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with delicate features, but his ears were slightly cocked, a bit like an elf in ancient mythology.

"Su Fan, an S-class wanted criminal, whose game name is [Viewer] in "Old Gods", is a level 180 secret sword wielder."

"This person seized the core items of the tenth expansion pack and killed more than a dozen senior conglomerates in the Mythical Realm, destroying their souls. This person violated Article 72 of the Federal Constitution and has posed a major security threat.

"

"The Silver Wings Consortium has offered a sky-high reward, and this person is wanted throughout the country..."

The female host in professional clothes, with a serious face, was reporting the news, and finally added:

"Under the joint efforts of the two major consortiums, Su Fan's game character has been killed and deprived of the right to log into "Old Gods". However, this person retains his intact soul and has the power of a saint to a certain extent, which is extremely dangerous!"

"Once you find the target, please stay calm and call the security number 10086 as soon as possible..."

Among the people passing by on the bustling street, people stopped from time to time to look at the important news on the curtain.

When they saw the amount of the reward, they all exclaimed.

In particular, the last comment on the sky-high price bounty actually includes an increase in citizen rights, which amazes passers-by.

This is the first S-class wanted criminal in the Blue Ocean Federation in the past three years.

He is also the only person among the S-class wanted criminals in the past fifty years who is rewarded with identity authority!

This reward alone is enough to drive the Sixth Sector into madness.

"It's crazy..."

The mysterious young man wearing a black sweatshirt could sense the surrounding eyes, which glanced at him from time to time. However, when passers-by saw the ordinary facial features on his face, they all withdrew their gaze and no longer paid attention to the mysterious young man.

"This...is this the biggest news this year?"

"If I can find his location and report it... I will be promoted from citizen to noble, and I can live in the aristocratic district."

"Oh, stop daydreaming, that is a big shot who has the power of the Saint. [Viewer], this is not the top master of the Sixth Star District, an alien among the Secret Swordsmen, the famous strong man nicknamed the 'Star Sword Master'

Or?"

"Such a dangerous target, if you encounter him, pray for survival first!"

The sound of passers-by's exchanges came from his ears. The mysterious young man ignored the outside world and stood quietly in the drizzle.

When the green light on the street turned on, the mysterious young man walked across the street and entered the lower area of ​​Jinling City.

After a while, he came to the intricate alleys and streets, with only the shadows cast by the buildings above his head.

This is the lower area, an area that wanders in the gray area.

A girl wearing a leather jacket stood on the street and winked at the pedestrians on the road.

Under the nightclubs on the street, there are hippies with punk hair and earrings soliciting business.

The mysterious young man passed through their sights without attracting much attention. Even the girl standing on the street, after getting no response from her flirtatious gaze, retracted her sight from his ordinary facial features and no longer paid attention to the mysterious young man.

Stepping into the alley, the mysterious young man is isolated from other people's sight, as if isolated from the outside world.

There is no need to worry about electronic surveillance in the lower-class areas where the forces are mixed.

Arriving in front of the extinguished advertising board, the mysterious young man sat down against the screen, hiding his figure.

Then, he touched his face, and with a slight stroke, the simulated human skin mask automatically fell off, leaving it on his hand and turning into silver marbles.

This is one of the two props he brought out from "Old Gods". It can cover up the appearance and even change the breath.

Lifting his hoodie, the mysterious young man revealed a perfect face, so exquisite that even the most famous federal actor on the screen would feel ashamed when he saw this face...

.It’s just that his ears are slightly pointed, a bit like an elf in ancient mythology.

The mysterious young man is Su Fan, an S-class wanted criminal.

"call........"

Su Fan exhaled, raised his arms, and looked at the faint breathing blue patterns on his skin, which flickered on and off.

This is a sign of the saint's power, also known as the stigmata.

At this moment, it becomes incomplete because his game character has been destroyed and cannot resonate with the real body. The power of the saint that can be exerted is greatly reduced. Even so, Su Fan is far better than ordinary people.

Below the saints, all are ants.

All this is due to the "Old Gods"'s development of the mysteries of the human body and the spiritual power gifted to them.

As for the reason for the birth of "Old Gods", we have to start with history:

Since the middle of the last century, the entire Blue Sea Star has entered the era of the human federation, and the world has been divided into nine star regions.

The nine star regions maintain autonomy and form different cultures.

With the development of science and technology, the materials in the nine star regions have become increasingly abundant.

However, the gap between rich and poor is widening, the pyramid effect is obvious, and social conflicts are becoming more acute.

For this reason, the Central Council, which is independent from the nine star regions, gathered the power of the entire Blue Ocean Federation to promote the birth of "Old Gods".

"Old Gods" is a virtual game that can be called the 'Second World', 'Perfect Stealth', and the 'Fourth Technological Revolution'.

The degree of simulation reaches 100%, and the user's sensory experience in the game is completely consistent with the real world.

Moreover, it contains the secrets of the human body. Those who log in can peep into the extraordinary in "Old Gods" and unlock the secrets of the human body step by step.

It is said that the "Old Gods" come from the ancient relics of the 'Moon Civilization'. However, although Su Fan once had a high status in the Sixth Star District, he was not qualified to join the Central Council. He only heard about the truth behind the "Old Gods".

What's more, after he broke with the Silver Wings Consortium, his information channels were completely cut off.

After all, Su Fan had slaughtered the opponent's entire high-level circle. Except for the president, no core member could be spared.

No wonder they offered a sky-high reward...Su Fandu felt that his crime was so heinous that he deserved the price.

However, he also paid a huge price. Not only was the game character killed, but the opponent also used special means to prevent Su Fan's character from resurrecting - in other words, the character was completely destroyed and banned from logging into "Old Gods"

.

This means that he has lost the favor of the "Old God" and only has the incomplete power of the saint.

Even if he had to do it all over again, Su Fan would not regret it.

Because he has to do this, otherwise, the Silver Wings Consortium will take away everything from Su Fan, including game resources.

"Without the game character, I can't use this thing..."

Su Fan murmured to himself and took out a gold crystal from his arms. This was the second game prop he brought out from "Old Gods". The last thing he brought was also the source of all the disputes. It came from the third game item.

The core items of the ten expansion pack [Catastrophe of Gods].

——The Core of the Old God.

The golden crystals exuded an intoxicating color and illuminated Su Fan's dark pupils.

The core item, [Core of the Old God], which is enough to drive the entire Silver Wing Financial Group into madness and hunt him down, has a very simple function, which is to give the user divinity and the hope of entering the realm of gods.

Since the launch of the tenth expansion pack, no more than ten [Cores of the Old Gods] have fallen into the hands of players.

In the sixth sector, Su Fan is the first saint to win the [Core of the Old Gods], and he hopes to go one step further.

Once in the virtual realm of gods, Su Fan used the power of the Silver Wings Consortium to hunt him down. Instead, he hunted down the original old god who was about to resurrect - 'Lord of Time, Chronos'. The god crystal core dropped by the opponent

, took advantage of the chaos and was pocketed by Su Fan.

But.........

To use [Core of the Old Gods], you must be a game character. Su Fan has lost his character and is not qualified to absorb it.

"You can't just find someone else and give it away for nothing...cough cough cough!"

Su Fan was teasing himself when suddenly, he coughed a few times and a bright red color flowed from the corner of his mouth.

When Su Fan broke out from the noble area, he used the power of the saint. He had already suffered serious injuries, lost his game character, and his body was recovering very slowly. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

When he coughed, some blood splashed onto the surface of the gold crystal, and the two fused.

In an instant, the golden color suddenly dispersed, illuminating Su Fan's face:

"This...this is?!"

A large number of silk threads stretched out from the gold crystal, like a spider web, wrapping around Su Fan's body.

Subconsciously, Su Fan was about to activate the remaining power of the saint and continue to resist the mutation, but in his mind, the last words left by the opponent when he killed Chronos appeared inexplicably.

Last words:

"Adventurer, do you still remember the regrets you had?"

Pity.........

Su Fan stopped and took out a yellowed photo from his pocket. It was a group photo in front of an ancient shrine. Two young people, one male and one female. The black-haired girl was hanging on the young man's back like a sloth, with her legs

Holding his waist, the girl showed a sunny smile, faced the camera, and gestured with scissor hands.

If her 'minor illness' had been discovered earlier.

If he had not signed an unequal contract with the Silver Wings consortium back then.

If he doesn't miss that opportunity.

All the regrets in his life bubbled up in Su Fan's heart.

Finally, he looked at the golden crystal core, and in the depths of his heart, an absurd thought came to his mind.

if.........

Everything can be done again.

boom!

A golden halo bloomed, with the power of looking back in time, completely swallowing up the young figure.

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

In the endless chaotic darkness, a ray of golden light overflowed, quickly occupying the entire field of vision.

"Where...where is this?"

Su Fan regained consciousness and opened his eyelids with force.

The next second, the scene that came into view was no longer a dark and damp alley.

Bottles of coffee beans are placed on the table, and on the left is a machine brewing coffee, steaming out of it.

On the right side are neatly arranged books, which include "Sixth Sector·History", "High School Mathematics", "High School Linguistics", etc. The textbooks that Su Fan was familiar with made him have the desire to return to the college entrance examination.

Delusions of fear.

Moving his eyes upward, Su Fan saw no one outside the bar counter at dusk, and there were many idle coffee tables.

This...isn't this the cafe I left behind after my parents passed away in Ruoshui City? Because of poor management and the fact that I went to Jinling City to study at university, I sold this ancestral shop...

.....Su Fan was stunned, thoughts surging in his heart.

"Could it be..."

Su Fan suddenly raised his head and looked at the electronic calendar on the wall of the store. He remembered that this was his father's favorite little pendant. When sorting out the relics, his sister also emphasized that he should keep it and keep it as it is.

——July 15, 2230 Star Era.

The time was ten years ago, I...I was reborn?!

Su Fan subconsciously touched his ear and felt that it had no sharp edges and looked like an ordinary person. In an instant, he was convinced of the truth.

As a former saint, no matter how powerful the illusion is, it cannot affect his perception of the body.

So, there is only one answer...

He was indeed born again.

Going back to ten years ago, all regrets have not yet begun.

——Bang.

As the wind chimes on the door rang, a black-haired girl pushed the door open. She had soft features and wore a black-striped and white-checked college uniform on her upper body, a black short skirt on her lower body, matching stockings and round-toe shoes. She was full of youth.

Lovely energy.

"Brother, how is business today?"

Su Shengxue stood in front of him, with her hands behind her back, leaning forward, looking at him with a smile.

The familiar scene with a sense of distance left Su Fan in a daze, until Su Shengxue frowned, reached out to touch his forehead, and murmured to himself: "You don't have a fever, brother, you couldn't have taken a nap during the day.

, are you sleepy?"

"By the way, there are new coffee beans delivered by courier this morning. Where do you put them?"

Sorry, I don't remember... Su Fan is a little embarrassed. Who can remember the little things ten years ago? Even if the saint's soul has been strengthened and his memory has been greatly improved...

...Su Fan was cursing. Suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously replied:

"In the storage room, in the cabinet under the right side of the refrigerator."

After saying that, Su Fan was stunned.

When did my memory become so good?

Every little bit of his life of more than ten years, as long as he thinks about it for a moment, can be clearly presented in his mind, absolutely accurate.

Even small things like eating and drinking water can dig out every detail.

It's like 'time' has given him a special imprint, and this imprint is the memory of life.

This... Is this the effect of [Core of the Old Gods]? No, it should be said that 'Chronos' has a unique ability. In the entire "Old Gods" game, he is the only one associated with the authority of time.

So, my rebirth comes from this gift, and it also comes with amazing memory? Su Fan vaguely guessed the truth. At this moment, his heart was filled with thoughts.

If he could live his life over again, all regrets could be redeemed... At least, Su Fan would have a chance to change them.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, in front of the counter, Su Shengxue blinked after getting the answer:

"Oh, then when I visit the store at night, I can try to launch new products..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fan thought of a cup of milk-yellow coffee. It was his sister's new product, the Big Golden Milk Cap, but it was a dark dish with a beautiful appearance. After he drank it, he had diarrhea for a long time.

This is what will happen tomorrow morning, but Su Fan remembers it very clearly.

"I remember what happened next..."

Subconsciously, Su Fan looked at the black-haired girl, his eyes resting on that familiar face.

Su Shengxue, his sister and classmate, both are high school students in the "Private Xiujin High School" and are currently in the third grade of high school.

According to the original track, the two of them will take the college entrance examination next year.

In the federal era, only those who studied in private high schools were eligible to take the entrance examination and study in intellectual universities in upper-class cities.

In an era of knowledge monopoly, college fees are extremely high, which is a huge challenge for the Su family.

Their parents were remarried and died in an aviation accident. Although they lost a lot of money, the cost of private high school was not low. In the past few years, the expenses for schooling have been consumed to the tune of 7788.

Fortunately, the Su family's parents still left a coffee shop, which was barely enough for them to make money.

But if two people are admitted to university, it is far from enough to support their further studies.

However, the person in charge of the finance was Su Shengxue. She concealed it very well and did not tell Su Fan. On the contrary, Su Shengxue secretly submitted a blank paper in the entrance examination, deliberately failed the exam, and then tricked Su Fan into selling the cafe.

Enough money for him to study further.

Later, the two rented a house in Jinling City, and Su Shengxue worked in the library during the day to support the family.

When he went home in the evening, Su Fan told her interesting things about college. Although his sister's face was full of smiles, she patiently listened to his story.

But the loneliness in the girl's eyes could never be concealed.

Thinking of this, Su Fan's heart moved. His sister had regrets, but he was qualified to change everything.

As a reborn person, he has the confidence and ability.

Not to mention anything else, just because he has the secret of "Old God" in his hand, he can use it to make wealth... It will not be a problem to solve the tuition fee for the two of them.

"Brother, guess what gift I brought you?"

Su Shengxue suddenly stepped forward, her fair and charming face, less than a few inches away from him, shining brightly under the light.

"what gift........."

Halfway through, Su Fan already remembered the other party's gift. At this time, Su Shengxue proudly raised her handbag, which was a student's school bag from Xiujin High School, and placed it on the bar.

The next moment, she opened her handbag and took out a faint blue helmet with the [∞] symbol on it.

——It is the Type 1 virtual helmet [Ouroboros].

Login to "Old Gods" requires a virtual device, and with the permissions of citizens, the most common one is to purchase a Type 1 virtual helmet. As for the more advanced Type 2 helmet [Leviathan], the price is higher than [Ouroboros]

Dozens of times, it belongs to the category of luxury goods.

Despite this, the purchase price of [Ouroboros] is not cheap. It requires 20,000 federal dollars, which is roughly equivalent to five months' salary of an average adult. When converted, it is about half a year's income in a coffee shop...

....After all, their store's revenue is not good.

As long as they don't have to pay rent, otherwise, the two brothers and sisters may have to lose money when opening a store and file for bankruptcy liquidation.

"Brother, this is the helmet you want most...right?!"

Su Shengxue waved her helmet, like a child showing off her report card, and took the initiative to claim credit: "Last time I saw you standing in front of a store selling virtual equipment on the commercial street. You stopped for a long time, looking like you wanted to buy but didn't dare to buy it.

Hehe, if you want it, just tell me..."

After some teasing, Su Shengxue put the helmet on his head, made a few gestures, puffed up her chest and said proudly:

"The size is just right. It seems that I have a pretty good grasp of the size of my brother's head."

Looking at his sister who was pretending to be relaxed, Su Fan's heart was touched.

In his previous life, when the other party was trying to trick him into selling a cafe, he also had the same cheerful tone, which prevented him from feeling uncomfortable and also concealed the girl's feeling of loss.

Back then, Su Fan was not very sharp and did not notice the abnormality. Looking back now, Su Shengxue hid her sadness deep in her heart...

"Well, Shengxue's vision is really accurate."

Su Fan praised, and suddenly, his topic changed: "The summer vacation is over, and the senior year of high school is about to begin. Next year, we have to prepare for the entrance exam... The funds on our family's books are fine, right?

?”

Hearing this, Su Shengxue's eyes flickered, her fingers tangled behind her back unconsciously, and she pretended to be calm:

"Brother, don't worry, you don't have to worry about these things!"

"There is still a lot of pension money left..."

Well, Shengxue lied so poorly. I was so slow before... Su Fan sighed inwardly, but he didn't expose his sister's little thoughts. There was still time before the entrance exam, which was enough for him to

to change everything.

"By the way, I heard that "Old Gods" is open for public beta testing, and many large groups are involved in the game."

Su Fan deliberately mentioned it and added: "Maybe if I enter the game, I can quickly find a part-time job and make some money."

This is to plant a preventive shot and instill a concept into Su Shengxue, so that he will not make a lot of wealth from "Old Gods" in the future, and will not scare Su Shengxue and think that her brother has done something that will lead to him being jailed.

After all, as the saying goes, the ways to make big money are all written in the Federal Constitution...

"Wow, brother is so awesome~!"

Su Shengxue held her chin in her hands and looked at him with admiration. Her expression was three parts admiration and seven parts worship, which was just right.

Seeing this situation, Su Fan secretly rolled his eyes. He couldn't tell that his sister didn't believe what he said. She was just trying to deal with it to prevent her brother from getting off the stage. It really gave him face and was so considerate.

Boom!

The clock on the wall rang. Su Shengxue looked up and hurriedly pushed him upstairs:

"Brother, I heard that the server of "Old Gods" is open from 8pm to 6am, and is closed during the day."

"It's past seven o'clock in the evening. You should quickly wash up and prepare to log in to the game."

"Old rules, let me be responsible for guarding the store at night."

This is the daily routine of the Su Family Cafe during the summer vacation. Su Fan usually works during the daytime hours, while Su Shengxue works during the evening hours to ensure that it is open 24 hours a day, which can increase their income. Of course, this is a bit hard work.

As for the school period, the business hours are from dusk to early morning. Su Fan will stay in the first half of the night, and Su Shengxue will stay in the second half of the night.

After being pushed up to the second floor by his sister, Su Fan looked at the beautiful figure downstairs and took a deep breath.

This time, I can't hold her back anymore...

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Su Fan rubbed his hair and returned to his bedroom.

The second floor area above the coffee shop has only two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The kitchen and utility room are downstairs.

Fortunately, there are only two brothers and sisters living there, each with a bedroom and a shared bathroom. Although the house is small, it has all the necessary facilities.

Lying down on the bed, Su Fan put on his helmet and watched the clock gradually point to eight o'clock. He recalled the situation in the "Old Gods" game at this point in time.

The Sixth Sector has open access to the "Old Gods" login, which is the so-called open beta, and it has only been a week now.

At present, the level of players on the first level is around lv.10. They are in the exploratory stage of 'Asgard' and a large amount of game content has not yet been disclosed. Secondly, professional guilds backed by large groups are also still

Searching for content.

Although they are a week behind, it is not a problem for Su Fan and he is confident of catching up with them.

The most important thing is that in three days' time, it will be the tenth day of the open beta of "Old Gods".

'Asgard' will face an invasion of the divine domain. The "Old Gods" players from the seventh sector will go through the invasion plot and come to 'Asgard' to take action. In that invasion battle, there are

Some lucky ones took advantage of the situation, while some unlucky ones suffered heavy losses.

In his previous life, Su Fan belonged to the latter group.

At the beginning, he was an idle player and had no idea about the "invasion plot", so he was caught off guard.

But this time, Su Fan had enough time to prepare for this invasion plot...

This is his chance!

Su Fan looked at the wall clock on the wall. When the hand finally pointed to eight o'clock, he closed his eyes and turned on the activation switch of "Ouroboros".

Click, the faint blue light lights up, and Su Fan's consciousness follows the virtual device and is uploaded to the mysterious world of Kuili——

"Old God World......"

"I'm back!"
