Time Travel: Super Player

In a scorching hot desert with yellow sand all over the sky, a disgusting stench permeated the hot air. "Where am I?" Roger covered his forehead with his hand and stood up from the ground. As far as his sight could reach, there was an endless Gobi Desert. The road under his feet was so hot that it seemed to melt everything, and the outline of the city in the distance was looming in the distorted heat wave. Roger felt a dull pain in his head, and scattered fragments of memory kept flashing and extinguishing in his mind like a light bulb with poor contact. Around him, nearly a hundred men, women, old and young also began to wake up one after another. The expressions on their faces were at a loss, and the collective confused scene was quite funny like a variety show. Roger suddenly felt that this scene was familiar. As if he had found a key piece of the puzzle, a large number of fragmented memories began to automatically reorganize in his brain. A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, his face was full of incredible shock. "I was reborn..." Roger recalled everything. That was the seventh year since he became a fantasy player. At that time, he had become a mercenary. He and several companions accepted a mission issued by a large guild and went to the "sub-human" fantasy to protect the illegitimate son of the guild leader to complete his career advancement. I don't know if the news leaked out or the boy was too unlucky, they accidentally encountered the main force of the hostile guild in the fantasy. What was even more unexpected to everyone was that the illegitimate son was mediocre, but he was carrying an EX-level disposable item [Ivan's diary fragments] from the "butterfly effect" fantasy, which resulted in time and space turbulence and razed the entire city to the ground. However, Roger couldn't figure out how he survived that terrible time and space storm. After all, the best equipment he had was just a B-level single-soldier power armor, which could not withstand the terrifying power of time and space tearing. A sharp electric sound interrupted Roger's thoughts and also attracted the attention of everyone present. "Hey, sir, please give me the megaphone back..." A young tour guide who looked like an intern blushed and asked a strong man wearing sunglasses for a mini megaphone. The girl was petite, like a little girl, jumping and trying to reach it, looking very cute. "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll give it back to you after use. Don't worry." The strong man in sunglasses stretched out his big hand like a palm leaf fan and rubbed the little tour guide's head like coaxing a child, making her laugh and cry. Hearing the conversation between the two, Roger couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world. After seven years, many insignificant memories have long been blurred. He only remembered that this strong man in sunglasses was the only senior player who had experienced the illusion among the people present. If he hadn't taken the initiative to disclose the information about the illusion, I'm afraid few people present would have survived. Of course, the other party did not do this out of kindness, but was forced to abide by certain regulations. "Hey, hey, hey ——! Everyone gather around me, thank you for your cooperation!" The strong man in sunglasses tried the microphone and nodded with satisfaction. The loudspeaker worked well, and the nearly 100 people present should be able to hear his voice clearly. The crowd, who were at a loss, saw someone take the initiative to stand up, and immediately subconsciously gathered around the sound. "You can call me Sunglasses. It's just a code name." The muscular man in sunglasses pointed his finger at the black and gray sunglasses on his nose bridge so that everyone could remember him better. "It doesn't matter who I am. If you are lucky enough to leave here, you will naturally understand. Now, let me tell you about our current situation." "Remember the dark purple fog that suddenly appeared on the highway before? That was not smog, but a special area similar to a time and space channel, connecting to a different time and space world called 'Illusion'." "The cause of illusion is still a mystery. Its main body usually comes from various existing literary and artistic creations of mankind, including history, mythology, drama, film and television, literature, animation, games, etc." "Each illusion has its own unique set of world laws, and the most basic universal law is - data. In the world of illusion, everything can be measured and expressed with data, including yourself. If you still don't understand, you can also imagine illusion as a large VR game, but everything in this game is real... Of course, including death. " The explanation of the sunglasses strong man did not eliminate the doubts in the hearts of the people. Many people have begun to look for hidden cameras everywhere. They thought it was a studio for a prank reality show. It is not the fault of these people for being slow to react. After all, no one can wake up and find themselves in a strange place, and still think that they have left the earth. "Have you had enough of the trouble! Tell me where the exit is! I have a very important contract to sign this afternoon, and it's a multi-million-dollar order!" A man in a suit with a briefcase said angrily. He had looked at his watch several times while talking. With the man in the suit taking the lead, others followed suit and made a fuss. Most of them had their own things to do and had no interest in participating in any "reality show". The man in sunglasses was not angry. He smiled and made a gesture of invitation, saying jokingly: "If you think this is a studio, you can leave now. If you can leave, I lose." "Leave now! Do you think I was scared?" The man in suit walked out more than ten meters angrily. Seeing that no one followed him, he hesitated for a moment and walked back dejectedly. After all, the man in suit was not stupid. From the sand and vegetation on the surface, it can be seen that this is definitely not a studio. Even if he does not believe in the theory of different space, he does not think that he can walk out of this desolate Gobi alone without any equipment and supplies. The corners of the man in sunglasses' mouth rose slightly, and he did not mean to laugh. Because when he was first involved in the illusion, his performance was not much better than the man in suit in front of him. But then again, being involved in the illusion for the first time twice in a row, the man in sunglasses felt that his luck was really bad. "Thank you very much for your trust in me. Next, I will teach you the most important step to survive in the illusion - please say "open the main panel" in your heart, or something similar." Finally, it's time to reach this critical link. Roger skillfully said "open the main panel" in his heart, and there was a faint light flashing in his black pupils. A huge screen like a game menu instantly appeared on his retina, and the light blue translucent tone was full of futuristic science fiction. Name: Roger Rank: Zero Physique: 75 (related to strength, physical strength, physical resistance, speed, etc., the standard human maximum value is 100) Spirit: 180 (related to mental strength, mental resistance, reaction, perception, etc., the standard human maximum value is 100) Suddenly, Roger, like other people who saw the attribute panel for the first time, widened his eyes in surprise. On his attribute panel, which was supposed to be completely cleaned, there was an extra item. [Subhuman] Type: Bloodline Quality: EX Level: LV1 Skill 1: New Human (Passive) - Basic Spiritual Attributes + 100%. (Not Upgradable) Skill 2: Death Recast (Passive) - Revive in a Complete State within a Certain Period of Time after Death (10 Seconds + Percentage of Physical Loss × 30 Seconds), while Clearing All Gains and Debuffs of the Self. Skill 3: Black Ghost (Active) - Summon a Black Ghost, Entity, Physical Attack, Invisible to the Naked Eye, Strength is 100% of Basic Spiritual Attributes. (Affected by an unknown reason, the Black Ghost's Mind is Damaged and Cannot Move Independently.) Introduction: Death is Eternity. It took Roger a long time to come back to his senses. Where did this bloodline come from? He dared to guarantee with his head that there was absolutely no such thing in the attribute panel before rebirth. Could it be... Roger's heart suddenly beat wildly, and he remembered a strange rumor that circulated among the Fantasy Players before rebirth. It is said that there is an easter egg hidden in the "sub-human" illusion. As long as you die in any way in the illusion, there is a very small chance of obtaining an EX-level rare bloodline - [Sub-human]. Of course, no one will actively die for an unconfirmed rumor, and none of the players who accidentally died in the illusion can magically revive with full health on the spot. Therefore, even before his rebirth, this rumor was just a joke among the players. But now it seems that he has obviously won the jackpot, and it is the kind that clears the prize pool at one time. "EX-level bloodline..." Roger whispered softly, with a very complicated expression on his face. For him, who didn't even have A-level equipment before his rebirth, the psychological impact brought by the EX-level bloodline [Sub-human] is really too great. Strictly speaking, EX-level does not represent a specific level, but means "special and difficult to evaluate". The basic attributes of EX-level equipment fluctuate greatly, from the highest SSS level to the lowest F level, and in many cases it will be slightly lower than similar equipment. But at the same time, EX-level equipment often has one or several very special equipment skills, which enable them to exert effects beyond their rank under certain conditions. In layman's terms, it is the best of the same rank. However, the [sub-human] bloodline in front of him has obviously surpassed the category of "best". Putting aside the fact that the effect of skill 1 is not yet obvious and skill 3 is damaged, the effect of skill 2 [Death Recast] alone is shocking. Perhaps this is not intuitive enough, so we can find a reference. Roger remembered that before his rebirth, the S-level item [Phoenix Tail] with the same resurrection effect cost about 100,000 points, and it was usually out of stock. And [Death Recast] is equivalent to [Phoenix Tail] that can be used infinitely. Roger calmly closed the attribute panel, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to keep himself calm. To be honest, even in EX-level equipment, such a domineering characteristic is rare, and it has touched the edge of a certain law. But before rebirth, he had seen too many examples of weak people counterattacking and strong people falling, and he had long understood a truth - don't rely too much on any ability or equipment, even if it looks extremely powerful. Immortality does not mean invincibility. Resurrection is just an insurance, and it cannot become a habitual dependence. Of course, it is always a good thing to stay vigilant. If rebirth gave Roger an unexpected surprise, then the EX-level [subhuman] bloodline undoubtedly added a bright color to his surprise. With the seven years of experience and information accumulated in the previous life, plus the powerful trump card of EX-level bloodline, Roger is full of confidence in the future. In the previous life, those mountains that could only be looked up, in this life, he finally has the opportunity to stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the scenery. He even has the opportunity to impact the legendary mysterious sequence.
