Hunting Across Dimensions

On the 22-inch LCD monitor, the left side displayed a game interface in window mode, while the right side was playing a domestic comedy film. In front of the computer, a young figure manipulated the mouse and keyboard, fighting vigorously in the game, occasionally glancing at the movie playing on the right side of the screen, bursting into laughter from time to time. He was named Huang Shaohong, male, 25 years old, from H Province. Graduating from a third-rate university and his inherently free-spirited personality resulted in him not finding any decent job after graduation. He mostly did odd jobs, drifting at the bottom of society. In today's popular terms, he was a loser. He recently got introduced to a foreign fast food restaurant as a waiter, but later, due to his sudden burst of patriotism, he decided to "boycott foreign junk food." Firmly and resolutely, Xiaohuang quit his job at the foreign fast food restaurant. This way, he could not only demonstrate his noble patriotism but also satisfy his appetite for... well, heh heh... Huang Shaohong dared to swear to the heavens that he resigned absolutely because of the aforementioned reason, not because of being late resulting in the deduction of his basic salary... Really! If he lied, let that fat kid next door, who used to bully him when they were kids and still liked to show superiority in front of him as an adult, have no little JJ. After resigning, Huang Shaohong was no longer an ordinary loser. He successfully upgraded to... loser + otaku. Apart from some minor financial constraints, his life was quite satisfactory, so he was content with this kind of laid-back life. When not working, Huang Shaohong just stayed at home all day surfing the internet. He did two things online: reading web novels of various genres like science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and harem... In addition to novels, his other hobby was playing games. Recently, a new private server game similar to "Warcraft" was extremely popular, called "Alliance is Awesome, Horde is Okay." Xiaohuang downloaded this private server game and decisively chose the "Horde" faction! Due to being unemployed before, and having plenty of time, he finished off all the novels he had stored up, even re-reading the completed ones twice. It was thrilling, but due to excessive reading, he inevitably fell into a drought. So, Huang Shaohong transferred his surplus energy to the new game "Alliance is Awesome, Horde is Okay." Today, Xiaohuang slept until noon, woke up, washed up, filled his stomach with instant noodles, and then began his gaming journey. After pouring himself a large glass of cola, taking a sip to refresh himself, placing the drink on the computer desk, he skillfully logged into the game by tapping the keyboard. After entering the game, Huang Shaohong controlled his "Orc Hunter" to find a place where few players appeared in the game, released the "Horde Farm Dog," and targeted a small group of wild boars ahead to start leveling up. While leveling up, he also opened a recent popular domestic comedy movie to entertain himself. Watching the funny scenes in the movie, he laughed heartily from time to time. Just as the movie was about to end, an emergency situation suddenly appeared on the left side of the screen in the game. Behind his controlled "Orc Hunter," a dark figure flashed, and an Alliance assassin appeared, launching a surprise attack on him. Assassin, also known as a rogue or a stealth, was extremely skilled at concealing their tracks and launching sneak attacks, making them one of the most hated opponent classes among players. Seeing the opponent appear directly and launch a series of attacks, the poor hunter Huang Shaohong was enveloped in a flurry of sword strikes and instantly stunned to death! "Darn it!" Having played games for so many years, how could Xiaohuang suffer such a loss? It's just PK, who's afraid of whom? He directly resurrected at the graveyard, summoned the "Horde Farm Dog" to guard him. Quickly setting up a "Toxic Trap," he then sat down and took out food to replenish his blood, which was less than half a pipe. "Damn! Dare to challenge me!" Facing the assassin, although Huang Shaohong was not in an advantageous position, he was confident that with his skills, as long as the opponent's level was similar to his, he had at least a fifty percent chance of killing them. Xiaohuang's thoughts were good, but unfortunately, things didn't develop as he had hoped. Simultaneous dull thuds sounded, and both he and his "Horde Farm Dog" had stun status icons appearing above their heads. At the same time, two Alliance assassins appeared in front of him, with one of them triggering his set "Toxic Trap," entering a state of mild bleeding and paralysis. "Darn it, there are actually two assassins!" Before he could make any reaction, the assassin without triggering the trap wielded two short knives, causing countless blood splatters. Two seconds later, as the paralysis status of the other poisoned assassin wore off, the two knives attacking Huang Shaohong turned into four, instantly forming a combination of the assassin version of the "Yin-Yang Dual Blades Formation." Without any surprises, although Huang Shaohong's hunter was valiant and unyielding, constantly trying to resist and fight back, the outcome was... defeat! "Damn you!" Encountering two assassins, there was no chance to fight back. Huang Shaohong, who had been killed, slammed the keyboard heavily, causing the entire computer desk to shake. Just as he cursed the two assassins for having athlete's foot on their faces, a tragic thing happened. Because he angrily pounded the keyboard, his fingers accidentally swept across the cup placed on the computer desk, directly knocking it over. The cola inside spilled out with a "swoosh" onto the desk. The spilled cola scattered rapidly across the computer desk, with a good amount landing on the keyboard. Huang Shaohong hastily scrambled to salvage the keyboard, but unexpectedly, his fingers felt numb, and then he blacked out and collapsed to the ground. Before losing consciousness, his last thought was: "Cheap goods indeed. The waterproof keyboard bought on sale is really unreliable!" =========================== Struggling to open his eyelids, the light from the outside caused his eyes and brain to sting, like a hangover, his consciousness was muddled, and his thoughts were extremely chaotic. "Where am I?" He vigorously slapped his own head. As his eyes gradually adjusted to the sunlight streaming in from outside the window, Xiaohuang finally saw the surroundings clearly. Not far from him lay a monitoring device, emitting occasional "beep beep" sounds. The arrangement of the room made him realize that he was lying on a hospital bed in a hospital room. Xiaohuang was puzzled. How did he end up in a hospital bed? His confused consciousness gradually recovered, and memories flooded back like a tide. "Oh, darn it!" Remembering everything, Xiaohuang was shocked. It seemed like he got electrocuted. Now, he was in the hospital. Hopefully, he wasn't seriously injured. He prayed that none of his parts were damaged! Suddenly, he sat up from the hospital bed and then let out a sigh of relief because he could feel that, aside from being sore all over, his limbs were still intact. Taking a deep breath, shaking his head, and stretching his shoulders, although he wasn't disabled, the soreness all over was quite uncomfortable. Thinking to himself, it seemed that he was electrocuted but not severely, and it seemed he could be discharged from the hospital soon. But who entered his house and brought him to the hospital? Just as he was pondering, the door to the hospital room was pushed open, and a casually dressed, handsome young man walked in with a concerned look on his face. Seeing Xiaohuang sitting up, he quickly walked to the bedside and reached out to support Xiaohuang's body: "Little Xiaoxiao, you're awake? Quickly lie back down!"
