At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was obviously still class time, but many students from Yanyang No. 1 Middle School left the school chatting and laughing, and the guard on duty did not stop them at all. Instead, they greeted familiar students enthusiastically.
As the best high school in Yanyang City, the management of Yanyang No. 1 Middle School is naturally not so loose. These students who walked out of the school were all senior high school students. They had just finished the college entrance examination, which was an important turning point in their lives, and were preparing to leave school at this time.
Although they don’t know the outcome yet, it doesn’t matter to these teenagers and girls. At this time, they just want to relax, either go shopping with their good friends, or go to an Internet cafe to form a group and have fun together. The depression and fatigue of a year have been released.
Along with the crowd leaving school, a boy also walked out of the school.
After stepping out of the school gate, the boy stretched his arms and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling the atmosphere of freedom outside the school.
This boy's name is Yang Ying. He is about 1.75 meters tall. He has a well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin. Although he is not handsome, he is very good-looking. He has a maturity and stability that is not commensurate with his age. .
After stretching her body, Yang Ying was about to leave, but her eyes inadvertently caught sight of two arrogant-looking guys smoking cigarettes on the roadside.
The surrounding students subconsciously avoided the two of them when they passed by them. However, the two of them uttered one or two curse words from time to time. When they saw some beautiful female students, they would also make some obscene remarks, thinking that the girl They also laugh unethically as students run away red-faced.
Seeing this, Yang Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and walked towards the two people.
As Yang Ying approached, one of them had already seen him, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to push the other person beside him.
The man was originally looking at a female student. After being pushed twice by his companion, he turned his head impatiently and said, "What are you doing!"
"Don't look too hard, let's go, the eagle is coming."
While talking, the gangster who noticed Yang Ying reached out and tugged on his companion's sleeve.
After his companion heard the word 'Eagle', he was slightly startled at first, and then his face immediately became ugly.
When he saw Yang Ying walking towards him, he subconsciously covered his left rib, which seemed to be aching from the steel nails, and immediately lowered his head to leave with his companions.
"You two stop!"
Yang Ying's voice sounded, causing the two people who were about to leave to stop abruptly.
Seeing that Yang Ying had already come forward, the two gangsters immediately put on flattering smiles on their faces.
"Yang, Brother Yang, school ends so early today."
Yang Ying, who knew the other party's details, didn't bother to talk nonsense to them and said directly, "Why are money tight again? I want to come to school to get some pocket money."
The first gangster who noticed Yang Ying quickly shook his head when he heard this.
"No, no, we just came here and took a look."
The other person also nodded quickly in agreement.
"Yes, that's right."
After the two of them finished speaking, Yang Ying's face showed a hint of coldness, which made the two gangsters even more nervous.
After a slight pause, Yang Yingying said coldly, "Go away, there is nothing to see here. Go back and tell Hei Lang that if I hear that something happened to a student in the school recently, then I don't mind going to talk to him in person. It just so happens that the college entrance examination has just ended, and I have plenty of time now."
"Okay, okay, we will definitely stay until then. We'll leave now. We'll leave now."
Seeing the two gangsters leaving in a hurry, Yang Ying shook her head slightly.
Logically speaking, the two gangsters should not be afraid of Yang Ying, a high school student. The reason why this situation occurred can only be traced back to last year.
Yang Ying, who was still in her sophomore year of high school at the time, was blocked in an alley by two unruly gangsters after school. The other person said that money was a little tight recently and wanted to borrow some pocket money from him.
Yang Ying has encountered this kind of thing more than once. With his personality, he will basically give some money to solve the problem. This is not because he is afraid, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble and cause trouble for his family.
As before, Yang Ying was going to spend her pocket money to send the two gangsters away. However, the two gangsters were so dirty that they cursed Yang Ying's parents without even being the doorkeeper. Touched Yang Ying's reverse scale.
Yang Ying's father died in a car accident when he was a child. After that, his family became his enemies. He did not allow anyone to insult them, even as a joke.
Silently putting the banknotes that had been taken out into her pocket, Yang Ying slowly clenched her fists.
A few minutes later, Yang Ying, who had a bruise on his face, took out a few banknotes from his pocket with his bleeding right hand and threw them on the two gangsters who were beaten to pig heads and still twitching on the ground, leaving behind After saying "medical expenses", he left directly.
Although he was still underage at the time, Yang Ying had always had the habit of exercising. You can't tell it from his appearance alone, but his physical fitness was almost that of an athlete, much better than the average adult.
Moreover, due to his own family reasons, Yang Ying has been ruthless since he was a child. If he really takes action, he really dares to do it.
After that time, Yang Ying was entangled by a group of gangsters around the school, and she would have to fight with them every now and then.
If this kind of thing happened to other students, even if they wouldn't be frightened, it would inevitably be stressful.
But Yang Ying enjoyed it, and even felt that someone would accompany him to fight every now and then, which could effectively relax his mind and relieve his study pressure.
And the experience during that period also made him develop the habit of carrying a handy guy with him.
Of course, he doesn't carry any dangerous controlled knives to school, at most they are wooden sticks, iron pipes, screwdrivers and the like.
It didn't matter if it continued like this. Even if Yang Ying could fight, he wouldn't be afraid of these gangsters.
But at the beginning of this year, this group of gangsters somehow found out Yang Ying's home address, went to his house, poured paint on the door, stuffed threatening letters into the cracks of the door, and even punctured his house. The car's tires almost caused his mother to have an accident while working.
At that time, Yang Ying's mother was so frightened that she even called the police, but in the end no results were found.
Yang Ying, who knew the whole story, didn't say much because he knew it would be of no use.
The mother will only become more nervous, and the police will only catch two hooligans and squat in the police station for ten days and a half.
With the threatening letter in her pocket, Yang Ying went to a nearby hardware store and bought a one-meter-long crowbar, and then went alone to the place where the gang of gangsters usually gathered.
About twenty minutes later, Yang Ying, whose eye sockets were cracked and blood was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, limped away in embarrassment while holding on to the blood-stained crowbar.
About ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived, and several medical staff rushed into the gangster's stronghold.
In that stronghold, seven or eight angry gangsters were lying on the ground and howling miserably.
Although none of these injured were in danger of life, the least injured among them had several broken ribs, and the most seriously injured had his hands mutilated with blood. Even if he was cured, he would most likely remain disabled.
The leader of this group of gangsters, the black wolf whom Yang Ying asked to speak, was beaten with concussion. After that, every time he saw Yang Ying, he was very respectful, and even looked at Yang Ying with a little fear in his eyes.
This was not because Heilang was cowardly, but because Yang Ying's ferocious eyes and ruthless attacks that looked like a mad beast at that time left a deep impression on him, which could even be said to have left a psychological shadow.
The most seriously injured among these gangsters, the one whose hands were beaten to bloody pulps and might be left disabled, was the guy who suggested and punctured the tires, almost causing Yang Ying's mother to have a car accident.
In fact, Yang Ying originally wanted to break this guy's legs as well, but in the end he didn't do that.
However, despite being so seriously injured, when the police asked about the situation, the gangsters unanimously said that they accidentally fell and bruised themselves.
The police, who knew the details of these gangsters, had no intention of investigating in detail, and the matter ended without any problems.
From that time on, Yang Ying became Brother Yang in the mouth of these gangsters, and privately they gave Yang Ying a nickname, Eagle.
After driving away the two gangsters, Yang Ying started to leave again. As he walked, he took out a small green iron box from his pocket, poured out three white and green mint candies and threw them into his mouth. He threw the empty iron box into the trash can nearby.
Feeling the cold feeling in her mouth, Yang Ying couldn't help but reveal a smile.
This mint candy is a little hobby of Yang Ying. He doesn't like sweets, but mainly likes the refreshing and refreshing feeling of mint.
Yang Ying's home is not too far from the school. It takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk. Normally, Yang Ying would take the bus back.
But now that the college entrance examination was over and he had nothing to do, he was going to walk back. On the way, he could also go to the park on the side of the road to exercise. In order to prepare for the college entrance examination, he was exhausted during this period.
After walking for about ten minutes, Yang Ying arrived at a park near the community.
There were not many people in the park at this time, there were only a few elderly men and women, and a few younger people with their children and pets.
Yang Ying was about to enter the park, but found a small stall selling snacks and toys at the entrance of the park.
It just so happened that there was a mint candy seller at this stall, and Yang Ying had just finished eating the ones she had on her. Although there was a supermarket not far from here, Yang Ying was too lazy to run out any more, so she planned to buy two boxes at this stall. .
The owner of this street stall is a middle-aged man in his forties. When he sees someone coming, he immediately enthusiastically asks what he wants to buy.
Yang Ying ordered two boxes of mints and scanned the QR code to pay.
However, after the payment was successful, a message "Congratulations on winning the lottery and qualifying for the "Infinite" game" suddenly popped up on the screen of his mobile phone.
Immediately afterwards, his mobile phone automatically installed a game APP with an iron-gray horizontal 8 icon, which represents the infinite '∞' symbol.
Moreover, this unlimited game APP seems to be a rogue program, and Yang Ying cannot uninstall it after installing it.
After trying several times to no avail, Yang Ying saw that the boss also had a puzzled expression on his face, so he stopped delving into it and planned to go home for a while and try again. If it didn't work, he would go to the mobile phone store and ask.
After stretching his somewhat stiff body in the park, Yang Ying returned home around four o'clock. At this time, he was the only one at home.
Since his father died in a car accident, Yang Ying's family has been left with only him and his mother.
His mother, who owns a cosmetics store in the city center, usually comes back late, and it's obviously not time to get off work yet.
After putting down her schoolbag, Yang Ying washed her hands and walked into the kitchen, and began to wash and process the ingredients very skillfully.
Taking advantage of the fact that he came back early today, he could just make dinner.
Under Yang Ying's deliberate control, around 5:30, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried shredded potatoes, garlic eggplant, braised prawns, seaweed and egg drop soup, these four dishes were neatly placed on the dining table.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they are very tempting just by looking at them. Yang Yingzhi was forced to practice such skills because of the special circumstances of his family.
Since his father passed away, his mother had to not only support him in school but also take care of the elderly on both sides. She was very busy all day long. It was then that Yang Ying began to become more sensible and took the initiative to learn to take on some housework.
In fact, not only cooking, but also laundry, cleaning, sewing, repairing home appliances, and even some simple minor injuries and illnesses, Yang Ying can handle it by herself.
It’s okay to say that housework is omnipotent.
Putting the two bowls of rice on the dining table, Yang Ying looked at her phone and whispered to herself.
"It should be almost time."
Coincidentally, as soon as Yang Ying finished speaking, there was the sound of a key opening the door.
Along with the sound of the door opening, a mature female voice also sounded.
"Wow, it smells so good. Is this a sumptuous dinner that my baby Xiaoying made for his mother who has been working hard all day?"
Hearing this voice, the corners of Yang Ying's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He looked up towards the door and saw a tall and dignified woman in a suit, short skirt and uniform, who had shaken off her two high heels without any image, and trotted to the dining table barefoot, stretched out her hand and took off her high heels. I picked up a large shrimp from the plate and stuffed it into my mouth without even peeling the shell.
Seeing this scene, Yang Ying's face was also covered with black lines.
"Lin! Yi! Xian!"
Hearing Yang Ying's angry voice, the woman who was chewing prawns subconsciously looked up, and then she met Yang Ying's unkind face.
Gudu.
After swallowing the prawn in her mouth, the woman quickly turned around and ran towards the bathroom. As she ran, she said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'm going to wash my hands right now."
Seeing the other party running away, Yang Ying reminded him again, "Don't run around barefoot, put on your slippers."
The woman who had already run to the bathroom door turned around and went to the shoe cabinet in front of the door to put on slippers, and then continued to walk towards the bathroom. As she walked, she muttered, "Xiaoying is getting more and more unlovable, nagging." Just like an old aunt."
Hearing this, Yang Ying said helplessly, "Mom, I'm so old, can you please stop calling me by my nickname all the time."
When the woman heard this, she turned to Yang Ying and made a face, and said in a rather proud tone, "I'm just calling, I'm your mother. If you have the ability, come and beat me."
As she spoke, she walked into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door with a bang.
Seeing this situation, Yang Ying could only sigh helplessly.
The woman in front of her is Lin Yixian, Yang Ying's mother.
From the appearance point of view, Lin Yixian can definitely be regarded as a tall beauty. Her 1.7 meter tall figure is taller than Yang Ying after wearing high heels. Her optimistic attitude and proper maintenance make her even taller. There are almost no traces of time left on her body.
However, this mother was good at everything, but it was this personality that really made Yang Ying a little overwhelmed.
If you say it sounds good, it can make you feel like a child, but if you say it sounds bad, it means it can't escape the tune.
Of course, Lin Yixian will only reveal this side in front of people who are familiar and intimate enough. To strangers or formal occasions, she has always been an iceberg beauty with a cold temperament.
Yang Ying only found out about this once when she went to Lin Yixian's store to deliver something to her.
After Lin Yixian came out of the bathroom, he went to the bedroom to change into a set of loose home clothes, and then officially started eating.
Yang Ying's family didn't have the habit of being silent during meals and sleeping, so the two of them were still chatting during the meal.
In addition to some daily chores, Lin Yixian also asked Yang Ying about the college entrance examination. Yang Ying simply said that she did well in the exam, and Lin Yixian did not inquire in detail.
After eating, the two of them cleared away the tableware, and Lin Yixian took Yang Ying and worked on her back and shoulders for more than half an hour.
After finally serving Grandma Lin, Yang Ying originally wanted to go back to her room to play games, but she was stopped by Lin Yixian, who insisted on giving him the latest skin care in their store.
Yang Ying is a serious straight titanium man. How could he possibly refuse skin care that sounds like something only women would do?
Unfortunately, facing Lin Yixian's expression that if you don't agree, I will cry for you, Yang Ying could only raise her hands and surrender.
Although I was a little resistant to this so-called skin care at first, it is actually quite comfortable when I actually do it.
As Lin Yixian's soft and delicate palms continued to press and knead Yang Ying's face, Yang Ying's consciousness gradually blurred, and finally she fell asleep directly.
Looking at the sleeping child snoring slightly in front of him, Lin Yixian's smile faded, and his eyes showed a complex expression that was mixed with love, regret, self-blame, and pride.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ying woke up from her sleep.
He felt like there was something sticky on his face, and when he raised his hand to touch it, Lin Yixian's voice came from the side.
"Don't move. The mask has just been on for a while. Take it off again in twenty minutes."
Yang Ying stood up and looked around, and saw Lin Yixian lying on the sofa as lazily as a cat, with a mobile phone playing a TV series in front of him.
After touching the sticky mask on her face, Yang Ying asked, "How long have you been tinkering with this?"
"Not long, just an hour."
As he spoke, Lin Yixian stretched his legs again, pinched his throat and shouted to Yang Ying in a strange tone. "Come on, little Yingzi, give me a hammer on your legs."
After saying that, Yang Ying rolled her eyes angrily, but still stepped forward to hammer her legs, and at the same time, she was mumbling.
"You should stop watching those messy palace fighting dramas in the future. You are not very smart to begin with. Don't let those crappy TV dramas teach you to be stupid."
Lin Yixian immediately became unhappy after hearing this, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm your mother. Did you ever say that your mother is not smart?"
Yang Ying shrugged and said, "But this is a fact."
"You can't even tell the truth."
While talking, Lin Yixian kicked Yang Ying, but of course he didn't use any force.
After about half an hour, Yang Ying took off the mask and washed her face.
When he came back, Lin Yixian was yawning and walking towards the bedroom.
"Xiaoying, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to my room to sleep first. You can play less games and remember to go to bed early."
After that, Lin Yixian walked into the bedroom and closed the door. Upon seeing this, Yang Ying also returned to her bedroom.
After putting on a set of loose pajamas, Yang Ying came to the computer desk and turned on the computer. She was about to sit down, but she felt like something was missing.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ying patted her head and remembered, less mints.
Yang Ying found the two boxes of mints she bought in the afternoon from her schoolbag, put one box into the drawer of the computer desk, opened the other box and poured two into her mouth, then stuffed it into her pajamas pocket. inside.
Everything was ready, Yang Ying opened the familiar game and prepared to play for a while.
But within twenty minutes, Yang Ying closed the game again, perhaps because his enthusiasm for not playing for a long time had faded, and now he always felt that these games that he had played well before were no longer interesting.
Lying on the bed, Yang Ying took her phone and swiped it casually a few times, and suddenly saw the icon of the infinite game again.
Speaking of which, as soon as he got home, he was busy cooking and forgot that there was such a rogue software to deal with.
However, thinking about the several attempts to uninstall and delete it in the afternoon without success, Yang Ying became somewhat interested in this infinite game, and accidentally clicked on the infinite icon.
As the game opened, Yang Ying's mobile phone screen changed into an iron-gray reading screen, and at the same time, an illusory and faint voice sounded in his mind.
"The soul verification is successful, new identity information is created, the content is loaded, and the infinite game is started."
Just when Yang Ying was surprised by the source of the voice in his mind, the iron-gray reading screen on his mobile phone screen had disappeared and was replaced by three screens of different colors.
The first screen is a dark jungle where beasts are lurking. When you touch it with your finger, a prompt will appear, [Trial Mission: Survival in the Dark Jungle].
The second screen is a dilapidated city full of walking dead. After touching it with your finger, a prompt will appear, [Trial Mission: Escape from the Virus City].
The third screen is a short mountain, with a tiger standing on the top of the mountain and roaring into the sky. When you touch it with your finger, a prompt will appear, [Trial Mission: Mountain Tiger].
After touching each one, Yang Ying understood that this should let him choose one of the three trial tasks.
But Yang Ying still didn't understand the situation of this infinite game, and the mysterious voice that suddenly appeared in his mind just now made him even more uneasy. He couldn't think of playing any games.
After many attempts, Yang Ying found that not only could he not turn off the infinite game, but even if he turned off his phone, the infinite game was still running tenaciously, which was very strange.
But just as Yang Ying was fussing with disbelief, a blood-red countdown suddenly appeared on the screen of his phone.
3!2!1!0!
When the countdown cleared, the phone in Yang Ying's hand suddenly buzzed, and then he felt his eyes go dark.
And just a second before Yang Ying lost consciousness, the illusory and ethereal voice sounded in his mind again.
"Reserve infinite game players did not choose the trial mission and started random selection."
"Random selection successful."
"[Trial Mission: The Second Merit of Hercules—Hunting the Hydra]"
