"Fatty! What time is it? You're still reading this kind of book?!"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"The college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow! This is your last chance to change your destiny!"
"Don't you know what the final outcome will be if you fail to awaken your extraordinary talent after this cycle of reincarnation ends?"
Qin Ya glared at Bai Pang, then grabbed the "Three-Year Secret Realm, Five-Year Simulation" book from Bai Pang's deskmate Ye Ming's desk and slapped it hard on Bai Pang's head.
"Thud!"
Just then.
Another book of the same size fell out of Ye Ming's book.
Qin Ya picked it up and saw that it was the sequel to the book Bai Pang had been reading...
Her face instantly turned bright red. She pointed at the chubby man and then at Ye Ming, her body heaving.
"You two, come to the teachers' office with me!!!"
Watching Teacher Qin walk out of the classroom, Ye Ming glanced at his deskmate, completely bewildered.
In the morning he spent in this parallel world, he was only concerned with organizing the information about this world that had suddenly appeared in his mind, as well as the [Infinite Role-Playing System] that was bound to him.
I didn't even notice that the books on my desk were those kinds of things!
He glanced at the chubby guy who was trying not to laugh and thought to himself, "This fat guy must be framing me!"
He, Ye, is a scholar of the Spring and Autumn Annals!
A moment later, in the teachers' office.
Ye Ming and Bai Pang hung their heads like two listless quails, waiting for Qin Ya's reprimand.
"The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and you're all adults now," Qin Ya sighed. "I don't want to talk to you about it."
"But you must know that now foreign invaders are causing great turmoil to befall the planet Earth."
"If you enter the Reincarnation Secret Realm during this college entrance examination and fail to awaken your extraordinary talent, then you will have no choice but to go to the front line to build defensive fortifications."
"In places like that, without extraordinary abilities, you're guaranteed to die!"
At this point, Qin Ya's gaze lingered on Ye Ming and the other person, a hint of reluctance appearing in his eyes.
Jingzhou No. 8 Middle School is the lowest-ranked high school in the city.
Most of the children they accept are those who have little talent and whose families have little influence.
The highest rate of awareness of abnormalities in the college entrance examination was only about three percent.
Of the remaining 97 percent, a small fraction will die in the Reincarnation Realm.
Even if they manage to pass through the secret realm by chance, without awakening their extraordinary talents or receiving special opportunities, they will mostly be sent to the battlefield to fight against foreign tribes and build defensive fortifications.
There is no hope of survival but death.
In this harsh environment, many students who feel unable to pass the college entrance examination and unable to awaken their unique talents begin to give up on themselves.
Qin Ya also regarded Bai Pang and Ye Ming as this kind of student.
But as a teacher, even if the students have given up on her, she cannot give up on them!
Qin Ya's words made Ye Ming, who was sorting out the information in his mind, feel a greater sense of urgency.
He offered no explanation, but sincerely apologized to Qin Ya.
"Teacher Qin, I know I was wrong. I will do my best in the college entrance examination!"
Ye Ming looked directly at Qin Ya, his eyes filled with determination.
"Regardless of the outcome!"
The chubby guy nodded repeatedly from the side.
Qin Ya was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Teacher believes in you!"
"You guys go back first. After the college entrance exam, come back here and take the book back!"
Ye Ming and Bai Pang, their faces flushed, fled in panic.
Although Ye Ming was nervous about the current predicament, he was not worried.
After thoroughly examining the [Infinite Role-Playing System] in his mind, he found himself somewhat eager to try it out.
[Infinite Role-Playing System: Play roles in countless worlds and draw rewards based on your role-playing performance!]
Quest (to be unlocked): Enter the Samsara Realm and draw your first playable character!
After leaving the school and chatting with the chubby guy for a bit, he headed home according to the information in his mind.
The scenery along the way gave him the feeling of traveling back to the last century. He encountered students on their way home, who were also hurrying along and looking nervous.
This oppressive atmosphere made him feel inexplicably nervous.
"Old town area, No. 7, fourth floor of building nine."
The peeling paint, the green moss in the corner, and the information of the original owner in my mind gradually overlapped.
"This isn't a good start..."
Touching his chin, Ye Ming had unknowingly arrived at door number seven on the fourth floor.
He pulled out a silver key from the gap between a bunch of water pipes in the corner outside the door.
"Clatter."
After opening the door, Ye Ming looked at the layout inside and felt a sense of disorientation.
A wooden table with peeling paint had two faded enamel mugs on it.
The wooden chair next to it was uneven, and one of its legs was wrapped with rope again and again, clearly indicating that it had been broken and then re-tied.
The most valuable thing in the entire room was probably the only appliance—a refrigerator about the height of a calf with a large red "囍" character pasted on it.
There was no one else in the room.
The original owner's father died many years ago in the course of building fortifications to defend against foreign invaders.
His mother, Zhang Cuicui, did not awaken any special abilities. Because her father died on the front lines, she was able to get a job in a factory in Jingzhou, with one day off a week.
That's how Ye Ming was raised.
Ye Ming went into his small room, lay down on the bed, and fell into deep thought.
"Creak!"
He suddenly sat up in bed, his eyes flashing with a fiery light.
"I am not the original owner of this body; I will not sit idly by and wait to die!"
"The road ahead is still long!"
"The College Entrance Examination! The Secret Realm of Reincarnation! This is my chance to change my destiny!"
Ye Ming took out the book "Three Years of Secret Realm, Five Years of Simulation" from his bag and examined it carefully.
A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do well.
He needed to carefully determine what exactly this Reincarnation Secret Realm was all about!
After a long while, Ye Ming closed the book with a strange expression on his face.
Thirty years ago, foreign invaders plunged Earth into war.
At the same time, countless secret realms of reincarnation suddenly appeared all over the world.
Through the Samsara Secret Realm, people will enter a series of bizarre and wonderful worlds!
Many people have gained extraordinary power from this secret realm of reincarnation, which is called extraordinary talent!
What made Ye Ming feel strange was that "Three Years of Secret Realm, Five Years of Simulation" described the experiences of many predecessors in the Reincarnation Secret Realm.
He was very familiar with the worlds these people experienced in the Samsara Secret Realm.
Martial Universe, Infinite Terror, Throne of Seal...
Ye Ming scratched his head. "So this Samsara Secret Realm is some kind of infinite flow game?"
"Wow, I wonder what kind of world I'll enter for this college entrance exam!"
"Just don't make it something abstract like 'Mysterious Resurrection' or 'Strange Taoist Immortals'!"
Although he has the [Infinite Role-Playing System], he really doesn't have much confidence if he enters these worlds in the early stages.
On his first night after transmigrating, Ye Ming kept recalling the novels and movies he had read and watched, trying hard to remember the details.
Before we knew it, the night had quietly passed.
There is only one day left until the college entrance examination.
School is closed today, giving students time to prepare. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, we will gather at school and head together to the Reincarnation Palace in the city center to enter the Reincarnation Secret Realm!
Ye Ming took out the 397 yuan that the original owner had saved from under his pillow, went outside to buy some supplies, and then returned home to organize the information in his mind.
June 7th, 31st year of the Blue Star Calendar, is the day of the National College Entrance Examination.
In the center of Jingcheng City, the square in front of the Reincarnation Hall was crowded with students who were about to take the college entrance examination.
"Students from the No. 1 High School of the city enter the Hall of Reincarnation!"
"Everyone, follow along! Everyone, take what you need and enter the examination room as instructed by the invigilator!"
"..."
After a series of tedious tests and verifications, Ye Ming finally obtained his own Samsara Watch and entered the Samsara Palace.
Inside the Hall of Reincarnation were eighteen portals emitting faint glows, and many students were lining up to walk inside.
Soon it was Ye Ming's turn.
"Phew~"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ming put the black Reincarnation Watch on his left wrist and stepped into the glowing portal.
"Buzz!"
A bright light filled his vision, accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness and dizziness, causing him to unconsciously close his eyes.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Host has entered the Reincarnation Secret Realm: Douluo Continent!]
[Mission activated, role drawing in progress...]
……
My new book is launching! Please add it to your collection and read it. Thank you all!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the name of the Immortal Venerable will be shortened. We hope for your understanding.
