Chapter 176: A Man as Insignificant as Dust
Chapter 176: A Man as Insignificant as Dust
Qi Tongwei, a man as inconspicuous as dust in the bustling city, was facing the computer screen with bloodshot eyes.
"This is a crappy game! The servers are down again!"
He roared and pounded the keyboard fiercely, as if he wanted to vent all his anger. On the screen, the game character he had worked so hard to play for a year, a warrior wearing golden armor and holding a huge sword, was standing there motionless like a fool.
"I paid 100,000 yuan for the VIP membership, and you show me this?"
Just as Qi Tongwei was about to criticize the game company again, the computer screen suddenly flickered. Then, a strong electric current came from the keyboard and instantly swept through his whole body.
“What the hell!”
This was Qi Tongwei's only thought before he lost consciousness.
……
“Where…where is this?”
Qi Tongwei opened his eyes dazedly and found himself lying on a wooden bed covered with a rough linen quilt. He struggled to sit up and looked around, and found himself in a dilapidated wooden house with only a bed, a table, and a few chairs. It was extremely simple.
"I was playing games at home, right? Why are you here?"
Qi Tongwei tried hard to recall what happened before, but he couldn't remember it. He only remembered that when he was playing games, his computer suddenly exploded, and then he knew nothing.
"Did I travel through time?"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but shudder. He was a staunch materialist and never believed in time travel and reincarnation, but in this situation, there seemed to be no other explanation except time travel.
"System binding..."
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Qi Tongwei's mind.
"System? What system?"
Qi Tongwei was startled by the sudden voice. Before he could react, he saw a virtual panel appear in front of him, showing his personal information:
Name: Qi Tongwei
Level: 1
Strength: (Ordinary people 10)
Agility: (Normal people 10)
Physical fitness: (ordinary people 10)
Spirit: (Ordinary people 10)
Skills: None
Equipment: none
Looking at the terrifying four-dimensional attributes on the panel, Qi Tongwei was dumbfounded.
"What the hell is going on? How come my strength, agility, physique, and spirit have all become 10,000?"
Qi Tongwei rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if he had seen it wrongly. But the numbers on the panel were clear and there was no change.
"Ding! System binding is successful. Congratulations to the host for receiving a novice gift pack. Do you want to open it?"
"Open!"
Qi Tongwei chose to open it almost without hesitation.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the god-level technique "Chaos Sutra", the god-level weapon Xuanyuan Sword, and the god-level elixir Nine-transformation Golden Pill!"
As the system prompt sounded, a mysterious martial art, a long sword shining with golden light, and a golden pill emitting an alluring aroma suddenly appeared in Qi Tongwei's mind.
“Isn’t this… too exaggerated?”
Qi Tongwei felt like his head was about to explode. He was just an ordinary person, but now he suddenly possessed such powerful strength that it felt unreal.
“Squeak…”
At this moment, the door of the wooden house was pushed open from the outside, and a burly, bearded middle-aged man walked in. When he saw Qi Tongwei sitting on the bed, he was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Dachun, you finally woke up!"
"Who are you?"
Qi Tongwei looked at the strange man in front of him with a confused look on his face, completely forgetting that he knew this man.
"Dachun, don't you remember me? I'm your father!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes turned red.
"father?!"
Qi Tongwei was suddenly struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
"Dad?!" Qi Tongwei's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to digest everything that was so unbelievable. He secretly looked at the middle-aged man who claimed to be his dad, and complained in his heart: "What's going on? It's fine that I traveled through time, but I traveled through time and became a child with a dad? I don't even have a girlfriend!"
The middle-aged man saw Qi Tongwei's shocked face and thought that he had lost his memory because of illness, so he said with concern: "Dachun, are you okay? You have been in a coma for three days, and your father is worried about you!"
"Three days?!" Qi Tongwei was shocked. Could it be that he had been unconscious for so long? He subconsciously reached out to touch his phone, but found nothing.
"Where's my cell phone?" Qi Tongwei blurted out.
"Cell phone? What is that?" the middle-aged man looked confused.
"Uh..." Qi Tongwei finally realized that he was no longer in the original world. He rolled his eyes and quickly made an excuse: "Oh, nothing, I was just talking in my sleep."
The middle-aged man did not doubt it. Instead, he said with a distressed look on his face: "Dachun, you must be very hungry. Dad will go and cook for you now."
Having said that, the middle-aged man turned and walked out of the wooden house.
Qi Tongwei looked at the middle-aged man's back as he left, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know how to face this sudden "father", and he didn't know where to go in this strange world.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time." Qi Tongwei sighed and decided to first figure out the environment he was in.
He stood up and stretched his muscles, and found that his body was full of strength. He picked up a wooden sword on the table and swung it lightly, which made a crisp sound.
"This..." Qi Tongwei looked at the wooden sword in his hand in surprise. The sword looked ordinary, but it was unexpectedly heavy, and it was so easy to wield.
"It seems that the world I traveled to is not an ordinary world..." Qi Tongwei murmured to himself, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the house.
"Qi Tongwei! You're a piece of trash! Get out of here!"
With a roar, a tall young man, accompanied by a group of ferocious lackeys, rushed into the wooden house aggressively.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Qi Tongwei frowned and looked coldly at the young man in front of him.
"Oh, you dare to play dumb with me?" The young man looked Qi Tongwei up and down, his eyes full of contempt, "Who am I? I am your grandfather's grandson, the future heir of the He family, He Tianba!"
"He Tianba?" Qi Tongwei searched for the name in his mind, but had no impression of it.
"Your grandfather? Who is my grandfather?"
"You..." He Tianba pointed at Qi Tongwei's nose, his face turning blue with anger, "You don't even know who your grandfather is? You unfilial son!"
"Wait," Qi Tongwei interrupted He Tianba's roar, "You said I am your grandfather's grandson, then who is your father?"
"My father?" He Tianba was stunned for a moment, then a sly smile appeared on his face, "Of course my father is..."
He deliberately stretched out his voice, with a vicious gleam in his eyes.
He Tianba deliberately whetted Qi Tongwei's appetite with a vicious smile on his face, which made Qi Tongwei feel sick. This kid, although young, has a lot of tricks in his mind. It's obvious that he is not a good person.
"My father? Guess!" He Tianba finally said it, but his tone was full of sarcasm, "What a pity, you, a loser, will never know in your lifetime!"
"You..." Qi Tongwei clenched his fists. This kid deserves a beating!
"What? You still want to fight?" He Tianba got angry when he saw Qi Tongwei's cowardly look. "You? Are you worthy enough to be my opponent? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"
"Master Tianba, calm down, Master Tianba, calm down." A lackey with a pointed face and monkey cheeks stepped forward and sneered at Qi Tongwei, "Don't you see who you are? How dare you challenge Master Tianba? Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"
"That's right, don't you look at your own moral character?"
"You are such a loser, yet you dare to act so arrogant in front of us!"
The other lackeys also joined in the fun, and for a moment, the wooden house was filled with ridicule and insults towards Qi Tongwei.
"You guys..." Qi Tongwei was so angry at this group of people that he was shaking all over, but after all, he had just arrived in this world and didn't know anything here, so he didn't want to act rashly.
"What? You still want to talk back?" He Tianba was even more proud when he saw Qi Tongwei being humiliated. "I'm telling you, I'm here today to teach you a lesson on behalf of my father!"
"Your father? Who is your father?" Qi Tongwei asked, suppressing his anger.
"Hmph, my father is..." He Tianba was just about to tell the lie he had made up when suddenly, an angry roar came from outside the door.
"He Tianba! What are you doing?!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged woman wearing coarse linen clothes, but with a heroic look, standing at the door angrily.
"Mom?!" When He Tianba saw the person coming, he turned pale with fright and his arrogance disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"You rebellious son! Who told you to come here and act wild?!" the middle-aged woman shouted angrily, walked quickly to He Tianba, and kicked him in the butt.
"Ouch!" He Tianba was caught off guard and kicked to the ground in a mess.
"Mom, please listen to my explanation..." He Tianba covered his buttocks and looked at the middle-aged woman aggrievedly.
"What explanation do you have? You still have the nerve to explain?!" The middle-aged woman was still furious. "Your eldest brother has been in a coma for three days. Not only did you not comfort him, but you also brought people here to cause trouble. Do you have any conscience?!"
"Brother?" Qi Tongwei's heart moved. Could it be that this middle-aged woman was the original owner's mother?
"Mom, I didn't mean it..." He Tianba wanted to argue, but was glared back by the middle-aged woman.
"Shut up! Get back here!"
