Chapter 2 Past Life and Present Life
Looking at Shang Yun, who was ignoring him, Kelin seemed to see his past self in him. He shook his head and said, "I will stay in the village at the foot of the mountain for a day to prepare some things. If you have figured it out, come and find me, and we will set off together."
After finishing speaking, Klin looked at Shang Yun, who remained unmoved, turned around, and left.
Thinking about this, Shang Yun's mind cleared up, and he understood his current situation. He had transmigrated into the world of Dragon Ball, the world where anyone could easily destroy the Earth. Fortunately, this should be the beginning of the story, and everything was still possible. He might even be able to travel through time and space and return to his original planet, Earth.
Holding his forehead, Shang Yun recalled his life on Earth.
Before transmigrating, Shang Yun was an ordinary citizen on Blue Star, raised under the red flag. He came from an ordinary family and, although he had his share of troubles growing up, he was generally carefree. He graduated from an ordinary third-tier university, but his family thought he was too honest, so they sent him to join the army. After two years, his family wanted to use their connections to get him promoted to non-commissioned officer. Just when they had everything arranged, he couldn't take it anymore and insisted on being discharged. His family had no choice but to settle for a job for him.
The job is very easy, just sitting in the office. The boss takes good care of Shang Yun and basically doesn't assign her any work. In fact, if there are opportunities to earn extra money, they will be given to Shang Yun. But Shang Yun takes it for granted. She is timid and afraid of trouble, and she always gets into conflicts with her colleagues over trivial matters. However, she always thinks it is other people's fault and is always complaining.
The leader knew that Shang Yun had gotten the position through connections, and although he had some objections, he ignored him.
Later, Shang Yun coincidentally met her high school classmate, and the two quickly fell in love. Although both sets of parents objected, they still resolutely registered their marriage.
Shang Yun had no skills and no savings. Although the two of them lived a poor life, at least they both had jobs and were able to make a living.
But at the beginning of the year, after three years of dealing with masks, Shang Yun also faced a major layoff. Yes, 30-year-old Shang Yun was laid off because his contract had expired and would not be renewed. At this time, his child was only one and a half years old. Shang Yun discussed with his wife about hiring a nanny, which would cost 6,000 yuan a month. With the current economic downturn, what kind of job could earn 6,000 yuan a month? So they decided to stay home with their child during the day and work as delivery drivers at night to supplement their income.
Half a year passed like this. Not long ago, Shangyun and his wife had a fight, still about money. His wife hadn't been laid off, but she hadn't received her salary for six months and was struggling financially. She felt that Shangyun was incompetent, while Shangyun felt that he had done enough. What man would be willing to stay at home and take care of the children?
In his eagerness to make money, Shang Yun was scammed. Telecommunications fraud involves luring victims into giving back cashback or commissions.
He had no savings, yet he was tricked into borrowing 50 yuan from various platforms and banks.
He was completely brainwashed, and even when transferring money to the scammer, he was urging the scammer to accept the money quickly.
He didn't sleep for a day and a night, being led by the nose by the scammers the whole time. He just wanted to get his money back as soon as possible, without even thinking for a second whether he had been scammed. Even when Uncle Hat called to ask if he had been scammed, he said no while transferring another 50,000 yuan to the scammers. This 50,000 yuan was what he had borrowed from various loan platforms overnight, and it was the last money he could borrow.
He realized he had been scammed because he was broke and couldn't borrow any more money. The scammer kept saying there was a mistake in the operation and that he needed 100,000 yuan to activate it, urging him to find a way to raise the money quickly, but he really had no money left.
He never imagined that someone as smart and poor as himself could be scammed. It just goes to show that if you're not scammed, it's not because you're smart, but because you're lucky and haven't encountered the right script for you.
He stood on the balcony, cursing the swindlers. He hadn't rested for a day and a night, and his mind was constantly wavering between hope and despair. He thought about how he would repay the 500,000 yuan, the disappointed looks on his family's faces, and how he could raise his children like this. His mind was filled with despair, and he jumped off the balcony. He even worried that he wouldn't die, so he made sure he landed headfirst.
But in the instant his feet left the ground, he thought of his child. The child was almost two years old and couldn't live without a father. How could he live without a father? Who could protect him like a biological father?
Shang Yun regretted it and came to his senses. He didn't want to die, but looking at the rapidly approaching ground, he could only despair and scream in fear.
Ah!
The images in his mind ended there, but the thoughts in his heart could not be calmed, and Shang Yun was still shouting in his heart.
Ah, I don't want to die, I can't die, I have to protect my child.
My child! How will you live without your father?
Soon, Shang Yun realized that this was the world of Dragon Ball, a place where one could travel through time and space, and where the Dragon Balls could grant wishes. As long as he found the Dragon Balls, he could go back and protect his child.
However, the power level in this world is terrifying, especially after the emergence of Super Saiyans. Their power level increases at a rocket-like speed. Anyone can easily destroy the Earth with a flick of their finger. How can an ordinary person like me survive and gain power?
In my past life, I was too arrogant. I had mediocre abilities but looked down on everyone. I was ignorant and always thought I survived entirely on my own abilities. I knew nothing, yet I was unwilling to learn anything. When I heard a famous quote or two, I wanted to show off everywhere and display my talent. I thought I didn't care about anything and had no obsessions, so I wouldn't have any weaknesses or be blackmailed. But if I asked myself honestly, I cared about fame and fortune and always wanted to stand out and be recognized by others, yet I was unwilling to learn. I was impulsive and impatient. When things didn't go my way, I blamed everyone and everything. I knew I was wrong and was willing to admit it, but I was unwilling to change. I made one mistake after another, and this result was my own fault. It was only a matter of time before I got this result.
Think about how many times fate has reminded me in my life. If only a small setback could make me see the truth and make changes, how wonderful that would be. But no, that's fate. Everything is my own choice, and this result is also destined. Even if I can escape this calamity, there will be a next time. Perhaps the next calamity will be greater and more desperate.
Now that you've been given a second chance at time travel, make the most of it—change your mindset and correct your shortcomings.
After all, what can be changed are the shortcomings.
What cannot be changed are weaknesses.
Make a plan; don't be aimless and without goals. In life, fate is predetermined, but fortune can be changed. If you change your fortune enough, your fate will naturally change as well.
