Chapter 3 Successful System
When we were young, each of us liked to fantasize that there were gods in the sky who could hear our voices and fulfill our small wishes; fantasized that our pockets had endless fruits and candies, had the magic pen of Ma Liang, had the magical pocket of Doraemon...
But when we grow up, we come to know that fantasy is just a fantasy, it's more elusive than the floating clouds in the sky. At most, it's used to deceive children so they can be coaxed into falling asleep quietly.
Tang Xiao's past also had some fantasies and dreams, which were relatively realistic. For example: when he was bullied by those bird-like people in school, he fantasized that if he were a martial arts master like Bruce Lee or Chen Zhen, then whoever dared to provoke him would be beaten until they couldn't recognize themselves. Also, when he was memorizing English vocabulary, he fantasized about having a photographic memory...
Anyway, in a word, he fantasized about the aspects of himself that he was least confident in, for example, having a bigger and longer thing than those black straight men in porn.
But, fantasy is just fantasy, and he only thinks about it when he has nothing better to do. He never thought that these unrealistic things could be possible. After all - "I'm not the main character in a YY novel! I don't even qualify as a supporting character." Tang Xiao said straightforwardly.
But now - after he impatiently clicked "OK", he was stunned.
"This time I'm done for!" As a numbness spread from the mouse through his right hand to his entire body, but he couldn't shake it off or call out, Xiao Su's brother had a strange thought about his father: "Dad and mom, when have I ever been cool in these 18 years? Now I can't even pretend to be cool!"
It is said that when a person is about to die, he will slowly but quickly recall his life. However, Tang Xiao did not have such feelings. He now only wants to curse loudly: "Who the hell pressed the circuit? There isn't even an air switch? I'll haunt you if I'm really electrocuted to death!"
He didn't understand, even if it was a black internet cafe, even if the fee was cheaper, but at least they should install an electric leakage protector? This is going to electrocute people, why hasn't the computer been cut off and the internet cafe hasn't tripped yet?
Before he could figure out what was going on, everything went black and he fell onto the broken sofa beneath him. He didn't even hear the entire internet cafe suddenly erupt into a ruckus, with everyone shouting for the manager or "inquiring" about the female members of the internet cafe owner's family.
"The Successor system has started normally, but it is unable to connect to the Tianwang network. Please have the player check the cause of the fault!"
A faint voice that seemed to have drifted from a very distant place echoed in Tang Xiao's ears, he didn't know where he was or what state he was in, but somehow felt his whole body floating, as if a gentle breeze was carrying him flying around everywhere. Indescribable comfort, with some dizziness.
"Who are you? Where am I?" He looked around, but didn't see any light or objects. Suddenly, he felt a chill and was startled: "Damn it, why can't I see anything?"
What normal people fear most is not being deaf and mute, but going blind. Because after getting used to seeing the various beautiful scenes of the world, there are really few people who can put everything down. Now, Tang Xiao is obviously scared. If he's clear-headed now, he'll definitely be sweating profusely.
Not keeping him waiting for long, the voice sounded again: "Game player Tang Xiao Sa, hello. I am the Successor System..."
"What are you? A success system?" Tang Xiao suddenly interrupted, rudely asking: "I don't care if you're a success or a failure, I just want to see things now, I want to go home!"
I don't know why, but I used to dislike going back to my hometown, thinking that the countryside was too backward and not fun. Now, all I can think of is my grandparents. If something happened to me, they would be so worried!
Or is this just the cost of growing up?
"Please calm down!" The voice seemed to understand his emotions and immediately responded: "This is equivalent to your dream space, and at the same time, it's the most wonderful place in this game system. You haven't become blind, and your body is very healthy, it's just that the game system needs some time to complete its startup and initialization, you..."
"Huh? It's bright!" Tang Xiao shouted in surprise, finding that he could see things now, which made him very excited and agitated, and his whole person became a little quieter. At the same time, his entire mind fell on the existence in front of him - seemingly a gymnasium.
No, what he saw in front of him was actually a huge circular space like an indoor stadium, and there were even chairs and many seats around it. Tang Xiao had never been to a regular football field or gymnasium, but he firmly believed that what he saw must be a gymnasium, only this one was too big.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Xiao, and before he could see clearly whether it was a man or a woman, he was frightened and shouted: "Ghost!" However, the figure was not startled by this sharp cry, but instead introduced himself: "Hello, gamer. This is not a gymnasium, it's the core training center of the Successor System!"
"What is the Successor System?" Xiao Ge was clearly startled by this, wiping his face and cautiously looking at "it". The figure was slowly changing, becoming more solid, and asked: "How do I get out?"
"Didn't you click on a successful game website and complete the registration and setup? The gradually substantiating figure was still as calm as ever: "At the moment when you finally confirmed, I entered your body from the network world, and you were also electrocuted because of poor physical quality!"
"My god! Are you kidding me? So you're the system?" Tang Xiao had some impression, he seemed to have indeed "accidentally" clicked on a webpage, but he didn't believe this explanation at all. When did such a game come out? It's way more awesome than "Legend of Mir"!"
"That's right, I am the system incarnation!" The figure first gave a affirmative answer, then continued: "Some things can't be described in words, especially for a player like you with low potential value but dare not face reality."
I'm being despised again? Tang Xiao is so angry, and it's still a crappy system.
"What do you want to do? Can't you let me out?" he asked weakly. Tang Xiao was about to get angry, but a person who had grown accustomed to being weak couldn't be expected to dare to retort against a powerful existence, especially not now when it seemed so mysterious. So, he unexpectedly wilted.
"You're still really weak!" The system (which will be called the system from now on) looked down on him again, and then said lightly: "The simplest way to put it is that I want to make you the greatest martial artist in this world, the most legendary actor, and the most magical singer! Let you become a real success!"
"I'm awesome! Did I really become the main character?" Tang Xiao was stunned.
PS: Special thanks to "God's coming" for the reward, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep until midnight. Also, I will work hard to write!
