Chapter 1: Black Gun

  Sorry, I prefer thinner ones!

  This scale doesn't seem very suitable for you!

  If I were your girlfriend, it would be like a rose inserted into lard!

  Fat boy has no future!

  No matter how beautiful your soul is, you are just a kind-hearted fatty; if you die, you will be a dead fatty...

  Zhou Bo, is just such a dead fat boy, a dead fat boy who makes him deeply resentful. Grandma, is he so pathetic? From childhood to adulthood, except for kindergarten, he hasn't even held hands with a girl, is this not tragic? Is it just because he's a bit fat, is it just because there's more fat on his body, is it just because the weight scale can't bear his normal weight? Is this really so tragic?

  The tragedy is yet to come, after growing up and becoming an adult, damn it, I haven't even been with someone, still a pathetic old virgin, right? Even when I went to the massage parlor, the little sisters inside would rather take 600 yuan from others than look at my 6,000 yuan cash, right?

  In little sister's words, that is to say, you can spend money, but don't mess around! You're so heavy, I'm afraid you'll crush someone to death...... Waaah, crushing someone to death, what if you just get on top then?

  In front of the computer screen, there was a steaming bowl of old坛酸菜牛肉面. As I sniffed and slurped, I wolfed down the instant noodles while staring intently at the screen in front of me, where an image moved rapidly with my movements.

  A noodle jumped up quite well, even bounced on the nose, and finally entered Zhou Bo's thick mouth. The small eyes were almost completely blocked by the fat on his face, he looked out of the window, the polluted air was almost suffocating, this world is becoming increasingly unsuitable for human survival, even in the scorching sun, it's a gloomy scene, I still vaguely remember seeing sunlight when I was young, but now it has become a luxury.

  At this moment, the screen on the computer began to flicker.

  Fatty's heart moved, good show came, hurriedly opened a recording software, and recorded all the scenes that had happened.

  On the computer, a stunning woman in her mid-twenties, with a voluptuous figure, high breasts, round buttocks, and long legs that could entice one's soul. Her entire being exuded an air of seduction and licentiousness. This kind of woman was most alluring, making it difficult for men to control themselves. And now, this woman had already wrapped herself around a handsome man, and after some tender murmurs, they immediately began their passionate encounter...

  Wow, this is a live performance, much more enjoyable than watching movies and that sort of thing.

  Fatso couldn't help but feel a little excited, although he was still a pathetic virgin. But Fatso had the spirit of Ah Q's victory, fantasizing about replacing the male lead in his computer screen with himself, and his hands involuntarily started moving up and down, pleasure rapidly accumulating.

  Mmm... The two people were completely unscrupulous, unaware that their performance had been recorded, and they were releasing their desires without any restraint. The man was crazily thrusting into the woman, and after more than ten minutes, with a loud **, the man finally reached his climax.

  "Ahhh..." A burst of howling, Fatso also surrendered, too exciting, hurriedly grabbed the paper towel on the computer desk and wiped it casually. Immediately, Fatso's palm quickly shook on the keyboard, transferring the scene that had just been recorded to a DV, Fatso's task was finally completed.

  Now, Fatso is going to see his boss.

  This is Pongzi's profession, after doing this business, he has a commission of 20 million. With this money, his assets can also exceed 100 million. Pongzi also plans to enter the Soul Realm immediately and start a brand new era.

  Put nicely, he's a private investigator; put not so nicely, he's a paparazzo. And not just any paparazzo, but a rather infamous one at that. He's got skills in digging up secrets, taking candid photos and videos - the works! Although his body is too fat and slow to move around, his chubby appearance provides him with quite the disguise. Who would have thought that beneath all that blubber, he's hiding a camera? And just as you brush past him, the camera has already zoomed in on you...

  This is Pángzi's profession. Since he started this career, there have been no less than 800 couples who were torn apart by him, and Pángzi has become a professional at breaking up marriages. Whatever you want, extramarital affairs, evidence of infidelity, etc., as long as you pay, whether it's videos or photos, Pángzi can get them for you, and in the end, another good marriage is ruined...

  For this kind of thing, fatty doesn't have any psychological pressure at all... damn it, I don't have a woman, you guys have women, but aren't they just wearing green hats? I can't pick up beauties, but I can break up handsome guys and beauties... damn it, I'm really great.

  With the DV in his pocket, he carelessly slammed the door shut and walked over to the entrance.

  It's a dark corner, grandma's, doing this profession, can't see the light.

  "What I want is..." A young man, about 27 or 28 years old in appearance. This man was the client of this mission. As for that woman, poor thing, she was his wife. Upon seeing this young man, Fatty seemed to see a green light flashing on top of his head.

  Poor guy, his woman was messed with by someone else, and to make matters worse, he even got screwed over... What a pitiful guy, should he be thanking him instead? He gave him money and also let him take a free peek at his wife, ah, what greatness, second only to himself!

  "The thing has been brought." Zhou Bo smiled lightly and handed the DV in his arms to the young man.

  He opened it, took a casual glance, and immediately a series of "ahs" and "ohs" came out. The young man's face instantly turned weird, as if he had seen something unbelievable. His wife was under another handsome guy, making soft noises, her face flushed red. It's easy to imagine what the young man was thinking.

  However, this guy's tolerance is quite good. Seeing such an exciting scene, he didn't go wild on the spot. Zhou Bo even wants to investigate whether this guy is a descendant of the Ninja Turtle.

  "You've done a great job, this is your reward." The young man turned off the DV and pulled out a check from his pocket, handing it to Zhou Bo.

  Looking at the string of zeros above, Zhou Bo's smile on his face became more and more sinister, his small eyes almost invisible. Grandma, doing this line of work is getting more and more lucrative, if it weren't for the fact that the environment in reality is really too trashy, otherwise Zhou Bo would have made a fortune by now.

  Another couple was torn apart by their own hands... How great we are, doing good deeds without seeking fame.

  Nodding at the young man, Zhou Bo prepared to leave this place. Now Zhou Bo was somewhat impatient, and with the 20 million commission, his own wealth had exceeded 100 million, he could already enter the Soul Realm to find a pretty good origin, no longer having to endure this bloody breath, no longer having to inhale that filthy air.

  Real life is becoming increasingly unsuitable for human habitation, various animals have almost all become extinct, leaving only humans living a lonely existence on this scarred planet. The murky air can take away human life at any time, and those who can survive in such an environment are all invincible cockroaches.

  To change this situation, scientists from all over the world gathered together to research a method that could change this status quo, but ultimately ended in failure. Later, after more than a decade of research, they finally developed a strange program.

  Relying on the latest ultra-high technology, connecting human brains to enter a special space, an existence similar to online games. Or, this is simply an online game, but it's a super-large-scale online game played by players from all over the world together.

  The player's body is sent to a specialized processing center, connected to terminals, and brain waves simulate a virtual shadow of a real person in the soul world... It sounds complicated, but simply put, it's like the scene from The Matrix. A completely virtual world. Human souls exist forever in that virtual world, while their physical bodies are maintained by regular injections of nutrient fluids until death arrives. Everything is operated by machines, and all humans enter the soul world to prolong life.

  When the Soul Realm first emerged, it was met with a lot of skepticism, but this is the only way for humans to survive and continue, no one has any other solution. Moreover, in the real world, the environment is becoming increasingly unbearable, every year, large numbers of people die under the polluted air, the mortality rate is several times higher than the birth rate, and the situation of newborns dying prematurely is endless.

  No one can bear it!

  So after Soul Society opened up, a large number of people immediately entered and became members inside Soul Society, or rather players!

  Now, there are less than half of the people still in society.

  Enter the Soul Realm, and the system will randomly assign you an identity in the game based on your real-life wealth... There, you'll have a brand new life. In other words, if you're wealthy in reality, then in the game, you'll be a noble from the imperial palace, a young master of a rich family; but if you're penniless and destitute in reality, then in the game, you might just be an unlucky beggar on the verge of starving to death.

  It's quite realistic, but nobody can help it, and everyone can only work hard and strive for it.

  One hundred thousand, one million, ten million... each is a rank. Now, Zhou Bo is striving for ten million. As long as his assets reach ten million, he can also get an upper-middle-class identity in the game. Who knows, maybe then he'll have the chance to shed this layer of fat and break free from the shame that's been weighing on him for decades. Compared to life itself, being fat seems to be more important to him.

  Thinking of that new world, Zhou Bo's heart became more and more excited. Now what Zhou Bo had to do was go to the bank, cash the check, and transfer it to his own name!

  Hmph!

  In an instant, Zhou Bo, who was having a beautiful dream, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that a bloody hole had opened on his chest, with fresh blood dripping down to the ground. As he turned around, the young man's face revealed a sinister smile.

  Being cuckolded is a shameful thing, if it gets out, where can one put their face?

  He casually stuffed the $2 million check into his pocket, $2 million, at this moment, every penny counts, can't be wasted... Poor fatty, his body on the ground, gradually becoming cold, in his eyes, that young man, getting farther and farther away, finally, darkness completely descended, everything returned to silence!

  Perhaps dark, but this is reality. The doomsday has come, either death or madness, in order to get a good identity in the soul world, all moral standards are ruthlessly abandoned.

  At this time, no one would put their life on the line, nor would anyone else. Even the police couldn't keep up, with the number of emergency calls they received in a day far exceeding the total for the previous year. They were so busy that they couldn't cope, and many police officers had also resigned and left this world.

  It was in this seemingly crazy chaotic environment that the dark side of everyone's mind expanded infinitely, and the entire world had almost reached the brink of collapse. More and more people entered the Soul Realm, at least there, they might still have a chance to survive.

  The sky is pouring heavy rain, even the rainwater is black. Nobody notices that in this dark corner, there is a dead body that has been rotting away. Even if someone did notice, they probably wouldn't care, everyone rushes by, minding their own business, ignoring it completely.

  It's unknown how much time had passed, but Fatty seemed to have regained consciousness, opening his eyes to a familiar scene that appeared once again. However, this time everything seemed somewhat hazy. Fatty felt strange, he couldn't even feel the existence of his own body, as if he had become an illusory being.

  On the ground, a faint ripple that no one could see was slowly peeling off from Pangzi's body.

  In a daze, it seemed like a wave of sound, that illusory figure completely broke off its relationship with the chubby guy on the ground, becoming a free spirit.

  It's unknown how much time has passed, but the fatty has finally become accustomed to his current existence. Looking down, his own shadow is almost invisible, but on the ground, there is an additional familiar figure - a stout body soaked in rainwater, like a meat mountain, seemingly still shaking with the flow of water.

  How can I completely see myself?

  The fatty still hasn't reacted yet...

  A few seconds later, the scenes of the past appeared in the fat man's mind.

  Bang...

  A blood flower burst from his chest, intense pain, endless darkness, completely shrouding him.

  The scene before, still vivid in his mind, the fat boy suddenly felt a surge of hot tears welling up in his eyes, wanting to shout at the sky in anger, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound. All his anger was completely stifled.

  The fatty couldn't shout, couldn't roar with anger, and even futilely stretched out an arm, wanting to lift his own body from the ground. However, his arm futilely slid across his own corpse, without any sensation.

  Soul!

  At this moment, the fatty only had one soul left. A soul that hadn't dissipated yet. After everyone dies, their souls won't dissipate instantly, they can usually maintain for a very short period of time, which is the state the fatty is in right now.

  Soul status!

  This state cannot last for too long. I don't know if it's a state that everyone must go through, but perhaps things that were previously unknown suddenly become clear at this moment, and Fatso seems to understand that his time is running out.

  Soul Society Central!

  In Paozi's heart, a name appeared, that was the entrance to the Soul Realm, and it was also Paozi's lifelong goal, all for the sake of the Soul Realm Central.

  That was the fat man's lifelong goal, but who would have thought that at the last moment, he was actually shot in the back? A lifetime of hope turned into a bubble, what kind of regret was in the fat man's heart? The obsession in his heart expanded wildly at this moment, even giving the fat man the power to move.

  The soul floats in the sky, letting the surrounding rainwater pass through its own body, striking the ground and splashing out large pieces of water.

  Chubby flew through the void, rapidly rushing towards the center of the Soul Realm.

  That body may be fat and despised, but no matter how trashy that body is, it's still one's own body. Without that body, one would just be a lonely ghost.

  The sorrow in Paozi's heart. A lifetime of dedication, all for nothing, that kind of sorrow almost made Paozi completely desperate.

  Now, the last wish in Pongzi's heart is to take a look at the Soul Realm Central that has been struggling for a lifetime. If not, Pongzi will never be at peace, never will be.

  The distance is far, and although the speed of Paozi's spiritual body is very fast, it is limited after all. Time seems to be running out, and Paozi's spiritual body can barely hold on, as if it may be completely destroyed at any moment.

  At this moment, Fatso suddenly discovered that a huge building appeared in front of him. It was a towering skyscraper that pierced the clouds, and it was the Soul Realm Central Building.

  Soul Society!

  Two dragon and phoenix characters appeared in front of the fat man, this is the Soul Realm Center, finally arrived.

  At this moment, Fatso even felt a sense of hot tears welling up in his eyes, but the soul has no tears.

  In the center of the Soul Society, a long dragon-like queue was formed, with each person waiting to enter that completely unfamiliar, perilous yet hopeful world. The staff were working hard to maintain order, and almost every face showed a hint of hopeful excitement, as everyone wanted to take a look at what this new world would be like.

  Just then, Fatso suddenly saw a familiar figure.

  That young man, the one who shot himself from behind and killed himself, at this moment, that young man has completed the formalities and walked into the Soul Realm. In an instant, Fatso's eyes widened in shock, his body unconsciously floating forward, passing through countless people, chasing after him without any obstruction.

  Fatso didn't know what he wanted to do either, even if it was just suddenly appearing and scaring that young man half to death, Fatso might have been satisfied already...

  But now, the fatty could only watch as the young man lay down in a mysterious device, his own hands weakly brushing against the youth's body without any effect.

  Hmmm...

  Suddenly, the machine moved, and Fatso's spirit felt a mysterious attraction, his entire body involuntarily entering a whirlpool.
