Chapter 2 Rebirth

  "Ah......" Ding Qiang suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise and uncertainty as he looked around.

  This is a classroom. Many students wearing school uniforms sit in their seats, and everyone there looks at him with puzzlement.

  What is this place? Why does it look like my own high school classroom?

  And Lin Yi beside him didn't die of hepatitis due to overwork?

  If I'm not seeing things, the guy on stage should be my high school teacher from senior year, right?

  How can he be so young?

  "Ding Qiang, what's going on?" the teacher standing on the platform asked with a frown. When he came in earlier, he saw Ding Qiang sleeping with his head on the desk, but since he didn't want to bother with this kind of poor student, he just pretended not to see it. However, he never expected that this guy would suddenly jump up and shout...

  "Nothing... nothing..." Ding Qiang stood there stupidly for a while, until the teacher on the podium showed impatience, before he finally came to his senses and hastily sat down.

  "Hey buddy, what's up?" A young man sitting next to Ding Qiang patted his shoulder and asked curiously.

  "Lin Yi? You're not... " Ding Qiang's face was strange as he measured the already somewhat blurry face next to him, and then measured the surrounding environment again. Suddenly realizing something, he immediately lowered his head, deeply burying it in the table, not letting the other person see his slightly distorted face due to shock.

  Ding Qiang pinched his arm hard, and a sharp pain made him grit his teeth.

  I can feel the pain, this isn't a dream... what's going on? Didn't I just blow myself up in the game, take out all those guys at the Temple of War Gods, and then die together with Gunslinger?

  "Could it be that I've been reborn?" Ding Qiang muttered to himself, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

  The scene before his eyes, if he didn't remember wrongly, now should be the last day he stayed in school after finishing the college entrance examination ten years ago.

  He was deeply impressed by this day, not only because of the special life test of the college entrance examination, but also because it was on that day that the legendary game that would shake the world and bring eternal glory to future generations was officially born.

  At the moment when Ding Qiang was puzzled, the middle-aged man on the podium clapped his hands and said: "Well, everyone's answers are almost correct. Let's talk about the sky next. We've studied together for three years. Is there anything to chat about? This farewell gathering doesn't know how long it will take to reunite again. Cherish this classmate time."

  "Wah wah......" As the middle-aged man, who was Ding Qiang's high school class teacher, walked out, the classroom suddenly began to buzz with excitement. Everyone gathered in twos and threes, chatting with each other.

  "Haha, finally can play well!" Ding Qiang's deskmate and also his best friend Lin Yi suddenly shouted excitedly: "I heard that Tianxia Game Company is going to launch a cross-era game, I'm really looking forward to it!"

  "Haha!" Feeling Lin Yi's joy, Ding Qiang smiled slightly. For students, the end of the college entrance exam was indeed something to be excited about, but for Ding Qiang, who had already entered society several years ago in his past life, this kind of thing really wasn't worth getting excited about.

  Actually, up until now, his head was still a bit dizzy and hadn't recovered from the shock he had just received...

  Ding Qiang's grades were average, and he performed normally in the college entrance examination, but unfortunately, he didn't get in. Then, he spent his days idly, drifting through life, indulging in video games every day. Finally, even his girlfriend of several years broke up with him under the pressure from her family.

  "Hehe......" Just then, a crisp voice came over, attracting the attention of most of the boys in the class.

  Upon hearing this laughter, Ding Qiang suddenly became stunned and slowly turned his head to look at a girl not far away with a complex gaze.

  The girl's name is Li Yan, and the two of them have known each other since childhood. In their early years, they had a good relationship, but as they grew older, due to the fact that academic performance determined social circles, the two people gradually drifted apart, and in school, they didn't have much interaction with each other.

  However, later on, what shocked countless people was that Li Yan ultimately became Ding Qiang's girlfriend.

  Li Yan's outstanding grades and appearance made her a standout in their class, and even in the entire grade level, there were absolutely not a few boys who liked her. A girl with outstanding grades and appearance would always be the focus of attention for boys wherever she went, and someone had already privately commented that she was the school flower of the whole school.

  A fresh flower inserted into cow dung, this is the phrase that appears most frequently in the minds of classmates after learning that Li Yan followed Ding Qiang.

  It's just a pity that Ding Qiang didn't cherish this relationship...

  In his previous life, he was a total failure, spending all day playing games and sleeping. When something big happened in the other family, he could only stand by anxiously but couldn't help at all. Li Yan was a filial daughter, so in the end, Ding Qiang could only watch as she gritted her teeth and married Tian Daolin, a rich young master who had been pursuing her for a long time, in order to save her parents' lives.

  "Li Yan, come with me, doesn't your family need money? I can go earn it, and I'll take care of Uncle and Aunt's illness." Li Yan held the phone on the eve of her wedding, as Ding Qiang yelled frantically.

  "It's impossible..." Holding the phone, Li Yan wept silently. Her parents had contracted a strange illness. Although it could be cured with current medical equipment, the cost was also astronomical: "The doctor said that to cure my parents' illness, two million would be needed..."

  "200 million..." Ding Qiang's hand holding the phone began to tremble, his monthly salary was only over 20,000 yuan, and most of it was invested in the game. After working for so many years, not only did he not save a single penny, but sometimes he still had to rely on his parents and Li Yan for help. How could he possibly take out 200 million at once...

  "Too late, Ding Qiang, in the next life, I'll be your bride." Li Yan sobbed.

  "It's not late, I'm still young, isn't it just 20 million? If not, I can go borrow, as long as we're together, we..." Ding Qiang seemed to have made up his mind, shouting loudly, without caring about the curious glances of passersby on the street.

  "It's too late..." Li Yan cried out over the phone: "It's already too late..."

  At that time, Ding Qiang did not know that this was the last time he heard Li Yan's voice.

  On the third day after her marriage, her parents died in a failed treatment, and Li Yan jumped off the building to commit suicide under unbearable pain.

  When she was found, her body was covered in bruises and scars, with humiliating words carved into her chest and thighs.

  It's hard to imagine what kind of suffering and humiliation she went through during these three days.

  "She is my person." At the scene of the suicide, Tian Dao Lin rushed to Ding Qiang's side and frantically shouted: "Even if she dies, she is still my person, ah...!"

  That day, Tiandao Wuyan happened to have business at this branch of Tiandao.

  It was on that day that Ding Qiang saw Tian Dao Wuyan for the first time.

  "Is she dead?" Tian Dao said nothing, sitting in the car, glanced at Li Yan's body on the ground, pulled out a stack of money and threw it to the ground in front of Ding Qiang: "Just a woman, dead is dead, what's the big deal? Take the money and get lost."

  After finishing speaking, Tian Dao didn't even glance at Ding Qiang and silently took Tian Dao Lin away...

  After that, Ding Qiang became a completely different person.

  He heard that the virtual game industry had become an important industry for the Tiandao family, and most of the family's assets had been invested in it, so he joined the Holy Alliance.

  Overthrow the Tian Dao Alliance and avenge Li Yan, this is his only wish.

  He blew himself up before his death, killing everyone in the Temple of War Gods. In the battle for the city, players who died could not be resurrected again.

  Without the War Soul Temple's expert restraint, Zhan Mang will lead the Holy Alliance to take down the Sky City smoothly. Then, under the circumstances of one side being eliminated and the other side being weakened, the Heavenly Dao Alliance's power will be slight, the virtual industry will be hindered, and the Heavenly Dao Group will disband, which is also a certainty.

  The heavens are speechless, have you ever thought that because of your one sentence at the beginning, the entire Tian Dao Group fell into an irreparable abyss.

  At this thought, a faint smile appeared on Ding Qiang's face.

  It's just!

  How is this?

  Li Yan, after all, cannot be revived.

  ……

  Feeling that the gaze of the classmate opposite was somewhat strange, Li Yan turned her head in surprise and happened to see Ding Qiang behind her.

  "Ding Qiang, you..." Looking at Ding Qiang's excited and somewhat exaggerated expression, Li Yan was slightly stunned.

  Before she could finish speaking, amidst a chorus of gasps from onlookers, Ding Qiang had already wrapped his arms around her...

  "In this life, I will hold you tightly in the palm of my hand, and all nightmares will never happen again." Ding Qiang said to himself in his heart: "I swear..."

  The emotions of high school are the most pure.

  That feeling which can be called love for the time being is so pure that holding hands is already the limit of what two people can do.

  As Ding Qiang suddenly wrapped Li Yan in his arms, the room fell silent, and even a needle dropping to the ground could be heard...

  After a moment, several friends who usually played well with Ding Qiang suddenly started teasing him on the side.

  "Haha, Ding Qiang, awesome!" The crowd cheered.

  "What are you doing?" Although being held by Ding Qiang and almost unable to breathe, wanting to push him away, but found that the other party's hold was too tight, and he couldn't push it open.

  "You... if you keep this up I'll tell the teacher." Li Yan said angrily and with a blush.

  After venting his emotions, Ding Qiang finally let go of his arm.

  "Rascal, you're really annoying! I won't bother with you again." Li Yan angrily glared at Ding Qiang and turned away, refusing to talk to him anymore.

  "Heh... " He rubbed his nose, and Ding Qiang gave a somewhat embarrassed dry laugh. He also knew how much trouble his previous action had caused the other person, but he really couldn't control himself. Li Yan's death was an eternal pain in his heart.

  Looking back now, Zhao Qing's betrayal was not without her own thoughts of avenging Li Yan, and in the process, she inadvertently neglected her feelings.

  Countless nights, he woke up from nightmares shouting Li Yan's name, and every time he woke up, he wanted to open the window and follow her.

  In her previous life, Li Yan's parents fell ill and died, and Li Yan jumped off a building to kill herself.

  In this life, looking at Li Yan who was close at hand, Ding Qiang felt a dizziness.

  "Is this heaven... giving me a second chance?"
