The Reborn of Cyberworld

Chapter 1 The Old God
Star calendar 2240, sixth star district, Jinling City.

Mottled neon lights cover the city buildings.

The curtains cast colorful lights and shadows, and the virtualized water whales passed through the crowd on the zebra crossing.

Everyone is used to this, just like eating and drinking water, 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 in a black sweater was looking up at the neon curtain on the building.

On the huge curtain, a wanted reward is playing. The wanted person is a young man, about 28 years old, with exquisite facial features, but his ears are slightly raised, a bit like an elf in ancient mythology.

"Su Fan, an S-level wanted criminal, is called [Watcher] in "Old Gods", a level 180 secret swordsman."

"This person seized the core items of the tenth expansion pack, and killed more than a dozen high-level consortia in the mythical realm, killing their souls. This violated Article 70 of the Federal Constitution and has caused a major security threat."

"The Silver Wing Consortium offered sky-high rewards, this person is wanted throughout the territory"

The hostess in professional clothes, with a serious face, was broadcasting the news, and finally added:

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

"Once the target is found, please remain calm and call the security number 10086 as soon as possible"

The crowds on the bustling streets stopped from time to time to watch the important news on the curtain.

When they saw the reward amount, they all exclaimed.

Especially in the last comment of the sky-high bounty, there is actually an increase in the rights of citizens, which amazed passers-by.

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

He is also the only one among the S-level wanted criminals in the past 50 years who has been rewarded with identity authority!

This reward alone is enough to drive the sixth sector into madness.

"It's crazy."

The mysterious young man in a black sweater could sense the sight of his surroundings and glanced at him from time to time. However, when passers-by saw the ordinary facial features on his face, they all looked away and stopped paying attention to the mysterious young man.

"This is the biggest news of the year, right?"

"If I can find his location, I will report to him. From citizen to nobleman, I can go to live in the aristocratic area."

"Oh, don't daydream, that's a big shot who has mastered the power of a saint, [Viewer], this is not the top expert in the sixth sector, the strange one among the secret swordsmen, the famous strongman nicknamed 'Star Sword Master' who?"

"Such a dangerous target, if you meet him, you should pray first to survive!"

The voices of passers-by were heard, and 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 through the street and stepped into the lower area of ​​Jinling City.

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

This is the lower area, the area that walks in the gray zone.

A street girl in a leather jacket winked at passers-by on the road.

Under the night bar on the street, there are hippies with punk heads and earrings soliciting business.

The mysterious young man passed through their line of sight without attracting much attention.Even the girl standing on the street, after winking and getting no response, she looked away from his ordinary facial features and stopped paying attention to the mysterious young man.

Stepping into the alley, the mysterious young man is isolated from the sight of others, as if isolated from the outside world.

In the lower area where the forces are mixed, there is no need to worry about electronic surveillance.

In front of the extinguished advertising board, the mysterious young man sat down against the baffle, covering himself.

Then, he touched his face, and with a light stroke, the imitation human skin mask fell off automatically, leaving it in his hand and turning into a silver marble.

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

Lifting off the hoodie, the mysterious young man revealed a perfect face, exquisite and impeccable, even the most famous federal male star on the screen would feel ashamed when he saw this face, but his ears were slightly pointed, a little Like an elf in ancient mythology.

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

"call"

Su Fan exhaled, raised his arms, and looked at the faintly breathing cyan pattern on his skin, which flickered on and off.

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

At this moment, it has become incomplete, because his game character has been destroyed, unable to resonate with the real body, and the power of the saint that can be exerted is greatly reduced. Even so, Su Fan is far better than ordinary people.

Under the saints, they are all ants.

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

As for the reason for the birth of "Old God", we have to start from history:
From the middle of the last century, the entire Blue Sea Star entered the era of human federation, and the world was divided into nine star regions.

Nine sectors maintain autonomy and form different cultures.

With the development of science and technology, the material of the nine star regions has become more and more abundant.

However, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, the pyramid effect is obvious, and social contradictions are becoming more and 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 God".

"Old Gods", this is a virtual game called "Second World", "Perfect Stealth", and "Fourth Technological Revolution".

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

And it contains the mysteries of the human body. Those who log in can spy on the extraordinary in "Old Gods" and unlock the mysteries of the human body step by step.

It is said that "Old God" comes from the ancient relics of the "Moon Civilization". However, although Su Fan once had a high status in the sixth sector, he was not qualified to join the Central Council. He only heard the truth behind "Old God".

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

After all, Su Fan slaughtered the opponent's entire high-level circle, except for the chairman, no core member was spared.

No wonder the sky-high price was offered as a reward. Su Fan felt that he had committed a heinous crime and deserved the price.

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

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

Even if he did it all over again, Su Fan would not regret it.

Because he had to do this, otherwise, the Silver Wing Consortium would take away everything from Su Fan, including game resources.

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

Su Fan muttered to himself, and took out a golden crystal from his bosom. This was the second game item he brought out from "Old Gods". The last thing he carried was also the source of all these disputes. The core item of the Ten Expansion Pack [The Cataclysm].

——The Core of the Old God.

The golden crystals exuded an intoxicating luster, illuminating Su Fan's dark pupils.

The core item that is enough to drive the entire Silver Wing Consortium into madness and hunt him down, [Old God Core], its function is very simple, it is to make the user possess divinity, and hope to step into the realm of gods.

Since the opening of the tenth expansion piece, there have been no more than ten [Old God Cores] in the hands of players.

In the sixth sector, Su Fan is the first saint to win the [Old God's Core], and there is hope to go further.

Once in the Void Realm of the Gods, Su Fan used the power of the Silver Wing Consortium to hunt him down, but instead hunted down the first old god who was about to recover—"Kronos, the Lord of Time". , Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Fan took it into his pocket.

but
To use [Old God's Core], you must be a game character. Su Fan has lost his character and does not have the conditions to absorb it.

"I can't 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 dark red dripped from the corner of his mouth.

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

As he coughed, some blood spattered the surface of the gold crystal, and the two fused.

In an instant, the golden color suddenly dispersed, illuminating Su Fan's face:
"This is this?!"

A large number of silk threads protruded from the golden crystal, like a spider web, wrapped around Su Fan's body.

Subconsciously, Su Fan was about to activate the remaining power of the saint, and the resistance against the mutation continued, but inexplicably, the last sentence left by the other party when he killed 'Kronos' appeared in his mind, which was somewhat inexplicable last words:

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

regret
Su Fan stopped moving, and took out a yellowed photo from his pocket. It was a group photo in front of an ancient shrine. Two young people, a man and a woman, were hanging on the young man's back like a sloth, with both legs Holding his waist, the girl showed a sunny smile, facing the camera, comparing a pair of scissors.

If her 'minor symptoms' were discovered earlier.

If he did not sign an unequal contract with the Silver Wing Consortium that year.

If he doesn't miss that opportunity.

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

In the end, he looked at the golden crystal nucleus, and in the depths of his heart, an absurd thought inexplicably popped up.

if
Everything can be repeated.

boom!
A golden halo bloomed, carrying the power of going back in time, completely engulfing the youth's figure.

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

"Where is this?"

Su Fan regained consciousness and pushed open his eyelids.

In the next second, the scene that greeted his eyes was no longer a dark and wet alley.

Bottles of coffee beans are placed on the table, and on the left is the coffee machine, steaming hot.

On the right is a neat list of books, on which are "The Sixth Star District·History", "High School Mathematics", "High School Linguistics" and so on. The textbooks that Su Fan is familiar with once gave him the desire to return to the college entrance examination Fear illusion.

Looking up, Su Fan saw that outside the bar, there was no one at dusk, and there were coffee tables that were left unused.

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

"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 small ornament. When sorting out the relics, his sister also emphasized that he should keep it and keep it as it was.

——Star Calendar 2230, July 7th.

The time point is ten years ago, I... I was born again? !
Su Fan subconsciously touched the side of the ear, and felt the appearance of an ordinary person without sharp auricles. In an instant, he was convinced of the truth.

As a former saint, no matter how powerful the illusion is, it is impossible to 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.

With the sound of the wind chimes on the door, a black-haired girl pushed the door in. She has soft features, wearing a black-and-white checked college uniform on her upper body, a black skirt on her lower body, matching stockings of the same color and round-toed leather shoes, full of youthfulness. Lovely energy.

"Brother, how is business today?"

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

The familiar scene with a sense of remoteness made Su Fan dazed, until Su Shengxue frowned, reached out to touch his forehead, and muttered to himself: "You don't have a fever, brother, you don't just take a nap during the day , are you drowsy?"

"By the way, there are new coffee beans delivered by express in the 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, when suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind, and subconsciously replied:
"In the storage room, in the cabinet below the right side of the refrigerator."

After speaking, Su Fan was stunned.

When did my memory become so good?

The bits and pieces in his life of more than ten years, as long as he thinks back a little, can be clearly presented in his mind, not bad at all.

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

It's as if 'time' has imprinted a special brand on him, and this brand is the memory of life.

This. Is this the effect of [Old God's Core]?No, it should be said that the unique ability of 'Kronos' is the only one related to the authority of time in the entire "Old Gods" game, so my rebirth comes from this gift, and it also comes with an amazing memory?Su Fan vaguely guessed the truth. At this moment, his heart was filled with thoughts.

If life is repeated, all regrets can be redeemed. At least, Su Fan still has a chance to change them.

Just as he was lost in thought, Su Shengxue blinked after getting the answer in front of the counter:
"Oh, then when I look at the store at night, I can try to launch new products."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fan thought of a cup of milky 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 letting him drink 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 younger sister and a student of the same grade, both of them are high school students of 'Private Xiujin High School', currently studying in the third grade.

According to the original trajectory, 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 go to knowledge universities in upper-class cities.

As an era of knowledge monopoly, the cost of university is extremely high, which is a huge challenge for the Su family.

The parents of the two were a remarried family. They died because of an air accident. Although they lost a lot of money, the private high school fees were already quite high. Over the past few years, school expenses have been consumed.

Fortunately, Su's parents still left a coffee shop, barely enough for them to earn money.

But if the two are admitted to university, it is far from enough to support them in their studies.

However, the person in charge of the finances is Su Shengxue. She concealed it very well and did not tell Su Fan about it. On the contrary, Su Shengxue secretly handed in blank papers in the entrance examination, failed on purpose, and tricked Su Fan into selling the cafe. enough money for him to study.

Later, the two rented a house in Jinling City, and Su Shengxue went to work in the borrowing room during the day to subsidize the family.

Going home in the evening, Su Fan explained to her interesting things in college. Although the younger sister had a smile on her face, she patiently listened to him tell the story.

But the loneliness in the girl's eyes could not be concealed.

Thinking of this, Su Fan's heart moved, his sister's regrets, but he has the right to change everything.

As a reborn, he has the confidence and ability.

Not to mention anything else, just relying on the secrets of "Old Gods" that he has grasped, it is not a problem to seek wealth to solve the tuition fees of the two of them.

"Brother, guess what gift I brought you?"

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

"what gift."

Halfway through the talk, Su Fan had already remembered the other party's gift. At this moment, Su Shengxue triumphantly lifted up the handbag, which was Xiujin High School's schoolbag, and placed it on the bar.

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

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

Logging into "Old Gods" requires a virtual device, and with the authority of citizens, the most common thing is to buy a Type I virtual helmet. As for the more advanced Type II helmet [Leviathan], the price is higher than that of [Ouroboros] Dozens of times, properly belongs to the category of luxury goods.

Even so, the purchase price of [Ouroboros] is not cheap. It needs [-] federal currency, which is roughly equivalent to five months' wages of an ordinary adult. In conversion, it is about half a year's income in a coffee shop. After all, their store income, not good.

It is still not necessary to pay the rent, otherwise, the two brothers and sisters may lose money and apply for bankruptcy liquidation.

"Brother, this is the helmet you want the most. Isn't it?!"

Su Shengxue waved his helmet, like a child showing off his report card, and took the initiative to claim credit: "Last time I saw you standing in front of a store selling virtual devices in the commercial street for a long time, looking like you wanted to buy but didn't dare to take it. Hee hee, just tell me if you want."

During some teasing, Su Shengxue put the helmet on his head, gestured a few times, and proudly said:

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

Looking at the younger sister who pretended to be relaxed, Su Fan's heart was touched.

In the previous life, when the other party tricked him into selling the coffee shop, he also had this joking tone, which didn't make him feel uncomfortable, and even concealed the disappointment on the girl.

At that time, Su Fan was not sensitive enough to notice the abnormality. Looking back now, Su Shengxue hid her sadness in her heart
"Well, Shengxue's vision is really accurate."

Su Fan praised him, and suddenly, his topic changed: "The summer vacation is over, and the school will be the third year of high school, and next year we have to prepare for the entrance exam. The funds in our family's books are okay, right?"

Hearing this, Su Shengxue's eyes flickered for a moment, and the fingers behind his back were unconsciously entangled, and he pretended to be calm and said:

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

"There is still a lot of pensions left."

Well, Shengxue's way of lying is really clumsy. I used to be too dull. Su Fan sighed inwardly, but he didn't expose his sister's small thoughts. There is still time before the entrance exam, which is enough for him to change everything.

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

Su Fan made a point on purpose, and added: "Maybe if I enter the game, I can find a part-time job soon and earn a little money."

This is a vaccination to instill a concept in Su Shengxue, so that he won't make a lot of money from "Old Gods" in the future, and won't scare Su Shengxue into thinking that his brother has done something to squat.

After all, there is a saying that the ways to make a lot of money are written in the "Federal Constitution"
"Wow, brother is really amazing~!"

Su Shengxue held his chin and looked at him with admiration. His expression was three points of admiration, seven points of admiration, and his performance was just right.

Seeing this situation, Su Fan rolled his eyes secretly. He couldn't tell that his sister didn't believe his words, she was just doing it perfunctorily, lest her brother would not be able to come down to 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 "Old Gods" is open from 8:6 pm to [-]:[-] am, and the server is closed during the day."

"It's past seven o'clock in the evening, you have to wash up and get ready 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. Usually, Su Fan stays in the daytime, and Su Shengxue stays in the evening, ensuring that they are open 24 hours a day, which can increase their income range. Of course, it is a little hard work.

As for the school term, it is open from dusk to early morning, Su Fan guards the first half of the night, and Su Shengxue guards the second half of the night.

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, while the kitchen and utility room are downstairs.

Fortunately, there are only two brothers and sisters living here, each with a bedroom, and the bathroom can also be shared. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Lying 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 time.

The Sixth Sector has opened the "Old Gods" login permission, which is the so-called public beta, and it has only been a week so far.

At present, the player level of the first step is about Lv.10. They are in the exploration stage in 'Asgard', and a large amount of game content has not yet been disclosed. Secondly, the professional guilds with the support of large groups are still Searching for content.

Although a week behind, for Su Fan, this is not a problem, and he is confident to catch up with them.

Most importantly, three days later, that is, the tenth day of the open beta of "Old Gods".

'Asgard' will face an invasion of God's Domain. Players of "Old Gods" from the seventh sector will come to 'Asgard' to take action through the invasion plot. In that invasion battle, there are Some lucky people took advantage of the trend, while some unlucky ones suffered heavy losses.

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

At the beginning, he was an idle player, and he didn't know there was an 'invasion plot' at all, so he was caught off guard.

But this time, Su Fan has enough time to prepare for this invasion scenario.
This is his chance!

Su Fan looked at the wall clock on the wall, when the hands finally reached eight o'clock, he closed his eyes, and turned on the start switch of [Ouroboros].

Click, the faint blue lights turned on, and Su Fan's consciousness followed the virtual device and uploaded to the mysterious and beautiful world——

"Old God World."

"I am back!"
