2. First Simulation
Then, his fingers passed through the transparent panel.
"?"
Yun Ling slowly typed a question mark.
System: 『Click with your mind, can you do it, buddy?』
"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Yun Ling rolled his eyes, not caring about the system's mockery.
Yun Ling focused his gaze on the transparent panel and pressed "Restart".
The panel changed into another appearance, with two grids at the top.
『Points: 0』
『Number of simulations remaining: 1 (given once a month)』
System: 『Randomly selecting talents...』
『Innate Immunity (White): You won't get AIDS』
『Old but Strong (Blue): As you age, your strength seems to grow stronger.』
『Lucky Guy (White): You seem to be much luckier than most people.』
『Good Water Affinity (White): Hydrophilic, not easily drowned by water.』
『Placeholder (White): You can choose one less talent. 』
『Dragon and Phoenix in Humanity (White): Dual Gender, Congenital Male and Female Holy Body』
System: 『Currently, you can select 3 talents from all available talents for selection.』
Yun Ling looked at the six talents in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Do you really have the nerve to show off such a rubbish talent?" Yun Ling asked dissatisfiedly.
『Isn't it normal to get garbage? You can't expect to get a gold one the first time, right? Look, at least there is a blue one.』 The system said unscrupulously.
Yun Ling: "Listen to me, thank you~, because of you~..."
Seeing Yun Ling begin his mental attack, the system soothed him,『Just give it a try for the first time and see how it works. Understanding the system's rules is the most important thing. There's still about half a year until the third collapse, so there are at least five more chances, right?』
As if convinced by the system, Yun Ling nodded.
Just testing the waters...
『Talents are divided into five levels: white, blue, purple, red, and gold. The higher the level, the better the effect.』 The system explained to Yun Ling considerately.
Yun Ling looked at the six talents and chose 『Old but Strong』, 『Lucky Guy』, and 『Good Water Affinity』.
After all, the other three are useless. If he is really born randomly by a biochemical mother, then he can only be considered unlucky.
There is also the innate male-female holy body...tsk tsk tsk tsk.
System: 『Talent selected. Ranking a random identity: Mediocre (ordinary person, no bonuses).』
"There are also random identities?" Yun Ling was a little surprised.
『Of course, the random identity can be a human or a Honkai beast. If you are lucky, you can also become Finality.』 The system explained.
Yun Ling looked at the word "mediocre," and his eyes twitched slightly. He subconsciously complained, "He really is mediocre to the core."
The system didn't care about anything and shouted in a loud voice: 『Life Restart Simulator, start!』
…
Ling is a mediocre person. He was born in a mediocre family, went to a mediocre school, and was a mediocre student.
Perhaps because he was unwilling to be mediocre, he stayed up until the early hours of the morning every day, studying by lamplight, and finally got the opportunity to study abroad.
I thought it was an ordinary person's experience of turning over a new leaf, but...
When he set foot on an unfamiliar land for the first time, he was greeted by a huge meteorite.
The meteorite passed through the atmosphere, slid across the sky with thick flames, and hit him directly.
After experiencing more than ten years of mediocre life, Ling seemed to feel...if he died like this, maybe it wouldn't be mediocre?
Being killed by a meteorite should at least be recorded in history, right?
Just like that, Ling even forgot to escape and stared at the huge meteorite.
It would be better to say that he knew very well that unless he ran several times faster than Bolt, it would be a waste of effort to catch a meteorite of this size.
At this moment, an arrow emitting pink fluorescent light suddenly rushed up from not far away and shot towards the huge meteorite.
In an instant, an explosion sounded. The deafening sound made Ling subconsciously cover his ears. His brain was buzzing, and he felt a terrible dizziness.
The meteorite broke into small pieces and hit the ground, raising some thick smoke.
After finally coming to his senses, Ling looked up and saw a figure so beautiful that it was beyond words.
She held a bow and arrow, her back to Ling, and her slender figure seemed not to belong to this world.
At that moment, the mediocre heart that beat along with his mediocre life finally found its home.
"Hmm?" As if sensing his gaze, the pink figure turned around.
Those bright and lively eyes, fluttering with long and dense eyelashes, are particularly watery and shimmering, as gentle and clear as the water in an autumn pond.
Her pink lips opened and closed, and her voice, like the sound of nature, lingered in Ling's mind.
"Are you okay? This place is very dangerous. Could you please leave for a while?"
Seeing that Ling didn't respond, Elysia tilted her head.
"It's very rude to stare at a girl with such passionate eyes when you first meet her."
Ling's lips trembled slightly, as if he had finally come to his senses. He looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "Sorry... who... are you?"
"Haha, my name is Elysia. So, handsome guy, could you please leave here for a while?"
Elysia's eyes inadvertently swept across the figure floating in the sky.
"Elysia... Sorry, I'll leave now."
Ling remembered the name and responded immediately, because he had already caught a glimpse of countless neatly dressed soldiers rushing towards here.
He left here at the fastest speed of his life, and after surviving the disaster, he felt that his heart was starting to overload.
Of course, the possibility of falling in love at first sight, causing your heart to beat faster, cannot be ruled out.
Although the so-called love at first sight is just based on beauty, it is hard to say that you don't like such a beautiful girl, right?
However, the world does not seem as simple as he imagined.
Elysia's clothes were emblazoned with the "Fire Moth" logo, a familiar one to him...
Ling fled the area. Fortunately, the Shenzhou Embassy accepted Ling and gave him a place to stay temporarily.
He wanted to call his family, but due to a poor signal, he was unable to get through.
He could only stay where he was and wait for the time being.
Three days later, the crisis was finally over.
Not long after, two men in black clothes and black sunglasses found him.
As a witness to the battle, he was ordered to keep the incident to himself.
But Ling couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "What is that?"
However, the man in black said bluntly: "You have no right to know."
Ling: "What if I join you?"
Man in black: "Then you will know it naturally."
Ling: "The Fire-Chasing Moth, right?"
The man in black looked at Ling in surprise: "Not bad, quite smart."
Ling: "I'm willing to join."
The man in black raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
Ling: "Because I want to."
The man in black looked at Ling and smiled: "Come on, I believe you can do it."
Then they left.
