Chapter 006: A Mountain is Still a Mountain
However, a fleeting thought emerged in Yang Tang's mind: "If only I could possess skills like Bruce Lee, I would not fear the current predicament." This thought caused the previous strange "enlightenment" to resurface.
Da Fei, originally named Cheng Yufei, was a top athlete specializing in short-distance running at the experimental high school. During the school sports meeting, Yang Tang also reached the podium in the 400 meters. Therefore, one can imagine the speed at which the two fled, as they managed to escape into the gates of the experimental high school without being caught by that group of unruly students
Snap
Huh? What is this...
Searching for life-saving skills ... ...
Regarding this realization, Yang Tang could not help but murmur: "Sigh~~ why is it about saving one's life? I just want to..."
What the hell, how is this possible? Wait, these two spots on my shoulder are...
Where are my legs
Yang Tang muttered a curse under her breath, and her speed in fleeing suddenly increased by two points
Hmm... it seems like I don't feel much!
Yang Tang raised his hand to swat away the dirty hands of the watermelon knife student, only to be kicked in the backside by another delinquent student behind him. His repressed anger surged up in an instant, and at the same time, a realization dawned upon him. True depth and concealment should be akin to "seeing the mountain as still a mountain," a state of being indistinguishable from the crowd, rather than the maturity that inadvertently surfaced since his rebirth. This maturity, or perhaps restraint, or even a nonchalant attitude towards the vicissitudes of life, was completely at odds with the surrounding high school students. In the face of these thugs wielding sharp blades, the correct response was to fight back.
The two merits will automatically transform into 1 reincarnation point, satisfying the requirements for the dream to be unlocked
"Fierce Tiger Soars to the Sky" countdown begins, ten seconds, nine, eight, seven, six ... ...
"With a heart full of desires—relieving dangers and preserving life"
Returning to the dormitory, Tang Xun and the others had not yet finished their evening study session. Yang Tang did not wait for the three of them and went straight to wash up before lying down on the bed, intending to rest early. Little did he know that his absence from the evening study session was privately regarded by Panda Li as "a failure that cannot be salvaged"
The dream is about to begin
Wait, wait, then Mingwu... with a heart full of desires, holding the Earth Store Bodhisattva...
Yang Tang hurriedly caught up. After running just a few steps, he heard a group of students by the roadside cursing: "Damn it, Da Fei actually got into a fight for that guy, does he still want to get by in this place?!"
Yang Tang was mumbling to herself, not knowing when she had completely fallen asleep
"Iron Cloth Shirt" copy completed
To say that Yang Tang is not afraid at all would be impossible. Even though he has the life experience of an additional twenty years due to his rebirth and time travel, he still feels fear when facing a minor student who does not know the severity of their actions. However, he is certainly not as terrified as an ordinary student would be in such a situation. In fact, he even wants to assess whether these two roadblockers are the only ones or if there are more people involved.
In a moment of excitement, as he turned around, Yang Tang was even more astonished to discover that he could float in mid-air despite having no legs
Da Fei did not waste any words, directly tossing the watermelon knife to the security guard, and also threw over two cigarettes: "Why ask so many questions?"
The person blocking the way in front brandished a shiny watermelon knife and asked, "Hey kid, do you have any money? Lend me some!"
Yang Tang opened his eyes and found himself standing. Casually glancing down at his feet, he was horrified to discover that he had no legs at all
Due to it being a test dream, the skill copying limit is set to the maximum value: 5
Muttering, Yang Tang's hand in the quilt had already covered the healed mark of the Ksitigarbha on her chest
Rest assured, I am well aware of the situation. I will call those despicable people over later, it’s nothing!" Da Fei said with an indifferent expression.
Not necessarily, right? Yang Tang pondered.
The security guard was perceptive; upon seeing Da Fei and Yang Tang, he recognized them as students from his own school and said nothing further, directly allowing the two to enter the school gate
What the heart seeks is to relieve danger and preserve life
A series of realizations left Yang Tang bewildered: "Is this for real?" Just as he was astonished by this question, a player of the game "East Gate Heart Slaughter" approached him and double-clicked on him.
... ...
Give it a try, and if it doesn't work out, that's alright
It was only after more than ten minutes that Yang Tang finally understood his identity
It is called borrowing, but in reality, it is outright theft
Yang Tang then remembered that he had received a compensation of two thousand yuan for the burn he suffered yesterday, and he had given two hundred yuan to Da Fei, but he did not pay much attention to it: "It's nothing!" As he spoke, he headed towards the dormitory building.
I have a task that needs to be completed
Isn't it said that one will naturally enter a dream?
The two skills "Fuhu Chongtian" and "Tie Bushan" need to be copied from the player Luxin at the East Gate, requiring a duration of forty-five seconds multiplied by the (Reincarnation multiplier). The current Reincarnation multiplier is one. Please hold this player for forty-five seconds without interruption
As soon as Yang Tang understood this point, he was about to launch a sudden counterattack when a shadow darted out from the roadside, kicking the watermelon knife-wielding student in the side. Before the opponent could react, the shadow had already pounced, delivering heavy punches to the student's ear, shouting: "Let me introduce you to my mother, let me introduce you to my mother..."
The understanding suddenly ascends
"Dongmen Luxin" indeed believed it and automatically began to stand in punishment
Upon hearing this realization, Yang Tang, recalling the online game "Xuan Yuan Sword Online," immediately lamented: As an NPC, I can only issue quests to have a chance to interact with players and retain their attention... Otherwise, who would pay any attention to you...? Dragging it out for forty-five seconds?! The dialogues in this game can be flipped through screen by screen, you know? To put it more bluntly, it’s the kind of dialogue box where you can directly click "Confirm" or "Cancel." How is that supposed to work?! The dialogues in this game can be flipped through screen by screen, you know? To put it more bluntly, it’s the kind of dialogue box where you can directly click "Confirm" or "Cancel." How is that supposed to work?
After lying down, I pressed on the burn on my chest, and there was not even a hint of pain.
Yang Tang immediately recognized the shadow as Da Fei
Upon hearing the nickname "bitch," Yang Tang felt somewhat annoyed. The person referred to as "bitch" is Luo Jian, a repeat student who has been in the same grade for several years, truly a social scoundrel. Relying on the fact that his father is the director of the teaching staff at the prestigious school, he has been repeating grades for several years. In school, he does nothing else but to win over students from the prestigious school who are disinterested in their studies, claiming that they will achieve great things in the future
"Dongmen Luxin" perceptively clicked on the option to assist the NPC Yang Tang: "Senior, do you need my help?"
The season is not appropriate, only the testing cycle of the dream can be initiated
"Reincarnation Dream (Test) Activated"
He unexpectedly became a male assassin NPC of the Shura clan, to be precise, he is currently situated in an antique-level online game from his previous life—Xuan Yuan Sword Online
"No money!" The pain brought Yang Tang back to his senses, and at the same time, his temper flared up. He retorted directly, "Moreover, I must say, the nearby streets are all under the control of Shizhong, and Da Fei and his group are overseeing them. Where did you come from?"
If there were only two students, Yang Tang could find a way to seize the knife and retaliate, or he could simply run away. However, if there were other students present, this tactic would likely be ineffective. As for the thought of taking on a group by himself, it only crossed his mind for a moment before being dismissed, as it was not a wise course of action. Even if he managed to catch one person and beat them severely, he would certainly get injured himself, and might even face severe punishment from the school, not to mention jeopardizing his college entrance examination.
Yang Tang was truly astonished, after all, he had just confirmed from Da Fei's mouth that he had been burned yesterday, yet today the burn had already healed, this is simply unscientific
Yang Tang had no desire to get to know such a person, and at the same time, he wanted to advise Da Fei, "Stop messing around," but the words remained unspoken. "Alright, let's leave it at that for today. I'll treat you to a meal another day"
The student holding the watermelon knife approached Yang Tang, the blade swaying back and forth in front of his eyes, the threat implicit and unmistakable
Consume 1 Reincarnation Point
The skills have been locked, with a total of 5, namely: "Scarred Hand NPC Version", "Concealment NPC Version", "Aimed Shot NPC Version", "Tiger Leap", "Iron Cloth"
It seems to be false
Do not think that Yang Tang is paying protection money to Da Fei; in reality, the relationship between Yang Tang and Da Fei cannot be simply defined by a small amount of money. Moreover, after the college entrance examination in their previous life, Da Fei repaid almost all the money he borrowed from Yang Tang at once, so Yang Tang did not pay any attention to this trivial matter
At the same time, a sense of clarity arose in Yang Tang's heart
Search completed ... ... Killing enemies, concealing oneself, enhancing defense, and stunning opponents can all alleviate danger ... ...
Bang! The student with the watermelon knife suddenly punched Yang Tang on the shoulder, "What are you doing? I'm asking you if you have any money. Do you believe I will really cut you?"
"Dongmen Luxin" expressed great joy: "What task?"
Yang Tang's heart tightened, and she did not respond immediately. Taking advantage of the faint light in the distance, she glanced at the other party and found that they were two unruly students, but they looked unfamiliar, likely from a nearby middle school
The school security guard was startled when he saw Da Fei entering with a watermelon knife. He immediately drew his baton and asked, "Which class are you two from?"
Go! Da Fei called out to Yang Tang, swiftly seized the student's watermelon knife, and quickly ran towards the direction of the school.
Let me first see how patient you are! Yang Tang activated his persuasion mode, "Please remain silent for one minute..."
"Oh, do you still know Da Fei?" Just as I was about to give Yang Tang a hard time, I heard this, and the student with the watermelon knife started yelling, reaching out to slap Yang Tang's cheek, while shouting, "I even know Da Fei's mother!"
What’s the matter, not speaking? Not speaking means you have money
The number of times the test reincarnation dream can be activated is zero, but it can be activated!
Wow, there really are people here
However, Yang Tang quickly realized that he was indeed too clever for his own good. In response to the double tap of "Dongmen Luxin," he directly replied, "Hmm... you! Alas~~ forget it!"
Catch up and kill both of them for me
The leak seems to have truly healed, but at that time, the pain I felt was certainly not a mere illusion... It is indeed quite strange
After walking for a while towards the campus and getting farther from the main gate, Yang Tang said: "Thank you, Da Fei, but since you don't live on campus, what do you plan to do if that group of people blocks the school gate after evening study?"
"It's up to you, but how is the burn on your chest?" Da Fei asked with concern, then showed a troubled expression as he said, "I borrowed two hundred from you yesterday, and I might not be able to pay it back on time next week..."
"Fuhuchongtian" is being copied ... ...
"During the inspection period ... ... "
Wow, it seems like I haven't played this game for almost twenty years, right? How did I end up in the game?
