Nankai University, Demon Capital College.
Recently, the weather in Demon Capital has been abnormally hot. It's still bearable indoors with the air conditioning, but once you step outside, it feels like you're being fried. Everyone has had a taste of what it means to "step out for two minutes and sweat for two hours."
Even more unusual is that the weather can change drastically from morning to afternoon. A bright and sunny morning can turn into a torrential downpour in the afternoon.
And this rain comes unexpectedly, pouring down in an instant. If you're walking on the campus path, you can easily be drenched in no time.
Girls dressed lightly, with their blouses soaked by the rain, reveal the mysterious undergarments inside, either purple or black. The perverted engineering guys following behind them all exchange knowing smiles.
Ah, this is the wonderful life of a college student...
At noon.
Most students have finished their classes and eaten lunch. Some rush back to their dorms to rest, while others, who have no classes in the afternoon, go out with their girlfriends or best friends to have some fun.
As for a single guy like the protagonist, Chen Zhengqian, well, he usually stays in the dorm.
The world of a shut-in is something that ordinary people don't understand.
Although Chen Zhengqian can only be considered a pseudo-shut-in, he is still a shut-in. To him, being a shut-in is just a hobby, but to others, it's a sign of being introverted and lacking a social circle.
At this moment, Chen Zhengqian is lying on his bed, wearing only a pair of boxers, his hands moving up and down continuously.
Don't get the wrong idea, perverted gentlemen. He's just obsessed with a mobile game he downloaded a few days ago.
This mobile game is marketed as an epic masterpiece, but in reality, it's simple and mindless to play, with low difficulty. It doesn't require advanced skills or quick reflexes, making it perfect for someone like him, who is not very good at games, and for those who worry about their intelligence.
In less than two days, he has already reached the first tier and, with his keen sense, has stockpiled materials in several warehouses, planning to sell them when the market price rises and make a good profit.
However, the weather in Demon Capital is as unpredictable as politicians and their faces. Just a moment ago, the sun was shining brightly, but suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, and a strong wind blew, accompanied by thunder. Before you can react, large raindrops start to fall.
"Damn, my clothes!"
Chen Zhengqian, who was enjoying the game, suddenly remembered his clothes hanging on the balcony. He rushed out without even putting on his slippers.
Here's a reminder: try not to use your phone during a thunderstorm. You never know when a lightning bolt might strike you.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhengqian was hit.
Just as he reached out to collect his clothes, a lightning bolt, like a mad python, split the dark sky, accompanied by a loud "pia~" sound, and struck him on the head.
If this were a typical plot, Chen Zhengqian would definitely be done for, and it would be questionable whether he would even leave a complete body. Being hit by a lightning bolt with millions of volts, he would turn into charcoal, even his private parts would be burned off, and he would die in a very ugly way.
If that were the case, this book would end here, and there would be no second chapter. The author would be destined to starve on the streets.
But is Chen Zhengqian an ordinary person? Of course not!
Under the watchful eyes of countless powerful beings, with the blessings of all the gods, under the protection of God, and guided by Allah, a miracle happened.
The Chen Zhengqian, who was supposed to turn into charcoal, was struck by the high-voltage lightning and not only survived but also felt more energetic, with no back pain or leg pain. He could probably carry a large bucket of drinking water up five floors without breaking a sweat.
Cough, actually, the above is all nonsense, but the miracle is real. Chen Zhengqian, who was truly struck by lightning, miraculously survived.
If this news were to get out, especially to the unscrupulous media, the whole world would know about it tomorrow. The headlines would be predictable.
"College Student Survives Lightning Strike, Experts Claim Alien Bloodline!"
"Alien Spotted at University in Guangdong Province, Authorities Deploy Urban Management Forces!"
"Man Survives Lightning Strike, May Hold Secrets of Human Evolution!"
...
Damn, what kind of nonsense is this? If it really gets out, he would either face strange looks from others or end up in a laboratory for dissection.
Chen Zhengqian, who was still in a daze, his first reaction was to curse:
"Damn, did the Thunder God get drunk and accidentally strike me instead of a bad guy?"
Fortunately, he survived, or his parents would be devastated to learn that their hard-raised son suddenly disappeared...
What a sad story.
Wait, I'm not dead, am I? I'm still alive!
Chen Zhengqian's thoughts gradually returned to normal. He was relieved to be alive and felt that life was so beautiful, vowing never to look for resources by leaving his email address again.
He suddenly noticed that all the other apps on his phone had disappeared, leaving only the mobile game. And his mind had gained something extraordinary.
It seemed that his consciousness could enter the game!
More accurately, he could connect to the game's warehouse. And a voice in his head kept telling him that the items in the warehouse could be taken out into the real world.
Deciding to try, he stared at the game screen, and in a daze, he felt himself enter the game world. He then used his consciousness to take out a random item from the warehouse.
Seeing the deer antler, clearly a game item, suddenly appear in his hand, Chen Zhengqian couldn't remain calm and exclaimed, "Damn!" His brain even froze for three seconds.
Is this some kind of superpower? Or did he gain the legendary "golden finger," the ability to carry a small world with him?
That's the treatment of a protagonist in web novels. He never thought he would have such a lucky day.
Ha ha ha, this is too cool. Who would have thought I would become a protagonist? Ha ha ha, who else can do this?
Chen Zhengqian was overly excited. This kind of treatment isn't for ordinary people. According to legends, only those who step on the seven stars and are destined for solitude can become protagonists. Otherwise, society would be in chaos.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
A loud knocking on the door, "Hey, hey, Brother Qian, Chen Zhengqian, open the door quickly, are you dead? If you're not dead, open the door..."
Recognizing the voices of his perverted neighbors, Chen Zhengqian quickly hid his excitement, put the deer antler under the blanket, and went to open the door as if nothing had happened.
