The Game Officially Begins

While riding the subway, Lu Xing took out his phone and found that the Life Exchange mini-program had changed.

The "Experiencing" loading bar was finally gone, replaced by a "Click to Enter Game" button.

Lu Xing barely hesitated before reaching out and clicking. He wanted to see what other tricks this game had up its sleeve!

The next moment.

The mini-program interface disappeared, transforming into a light screen that appeared in his field of vision.

"..."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment before realizing that the game had become a system-like existence, essentially binding itself to him.

Looking closely at the game interface, he saw common game elements like a personal panel, a shop, a top-up entrance, and quests.

Lu Xing curiously clicked on the personal panel.

Player: Lu Xing
Age: 20
Level: 1
Skills: Soul Exchange (Passive, Currently exchangeable characters: Jiang Xuannv, Anne Weisz Swinton, ???, Xiao Yu).
Experience Points: 0

This was the simplest game character interface Lu Xing had ever seen. There were no attributes, equipment slots, talents, or anything similar.

The only skill was passive.

What Lu Xing found strange was that the Cold Ice Fairy's name was a question mark. Was it because he didn't know her name, so the game system didn't display it either?

Clicking on the shop, a large number of items immediately appeared: tissues, computers, teddy bear biscuits, Universe Mirror, Immortal Path Fragment, Nongfu Spring water, Giant Dragon Magic Core, small spacecraft, Solar System Space Station...

All sorts of random items were arranged in no particular order, with prices ranging from 1 to 1 billion. Lu Xing looked for a long time before understanding that the items in this shop included things that had existed or appeared in four worlds.

He tried searching and found that even "Maria" could be bought for a price of 100 million – Maria was the super AI that controlled all of humanity in the future world.

In other words, if Lu Xing had the money now, he could completely buy a Maria, put it in the future world, and let the two of them compete online to see who was more powerful.

"How do I top up?"

Lu Xing excitedly clicked on the top-up entrance. This was the time he most wanted to spend money on a game in his life!

However, the game didn't give him the chance.

Currently, he could only exchange experience points for currency and did not accept other top-up methods.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If a super AI that could control all of humanity could be bought for 100 million, that would be too cheap.

Lu Xing then clicked on quests and found that the game had refreshed four quests for him.

"Novice Experience Quest One: As Miss Anne, fully experience a day as a noble lady and receive a rating of 60 points. Quest Reward: 1000 Experience Points."

Lu Xing gasped. Good heavens, it's throwing me into the deep end right from the start!

As a modern male college student from Earth, he had to play the role of a noble lady in a magic world and still get a rating of sixty points.

What's the difference between this and asking Anne to do advanced math?

After much thought, Lu Xing couldn't come up with a good solution and could only look at the next task.

"Novice Experience Task Two: Spend three days in the virtual world as Jiang Xuannv. Requirement: Do not be penalized to the second level by the artificial intelligence. Task Reward: 700 experience points."

Lu Xing frowned. This task seemed quite simple, just staying in the virtual world for three days.

But judging from the reward, it was clear that this task was not simple.

Jiang Xuannv being able to stay on the first level of the virtual world for sixteen years didn't mean he could stay for three days.

Looking at the next one.

"Novice Experience Task Three: Learn the name of ???. Task Reward: 500 experience points."

Lu Xing couldn't evaluate this task because it did look very simple. He had already left writing on the ice room wall, including a question asking for the Cold Ice Fairy's identity.

However, thinking of the personality of that fairy in seclusion, Lu Xing found it hard to judge.

Finally.

"Novice Experience Task Four: Complete a contract signing as CEO Xiao Yu. Task Reward: 200 experience points."

Lu Xing nodded. This one was indeed simple, nothing to say.

It looked difficult, but in reality, with the help of a cheat device—that is, his phone—negotiating a contract as Xiao Yu was the simplest.

Back at school, Lu Xing called Xiao Yu:

"I have some bad news and some good news."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yu was speechless for a while before saying, "I can think of a lot of bad news, but I never imagined there would be any good news. Can you tell me what it is?"

Lu Xing chuckled, "The good news is, in the future, you'll still have opportunities to have a huge appetite and eat a lot in one meal!"

"Do you think I'm a pig like you?" Xiao Yu gritted her teeth in annoyance. This guy was teasing her about eating too much again, when it was his body that was doing the eating!

"Hahaha."

After the joke, Xiao Yu formally asked him, "Does that mean, in the future, you and the girls from the other three worlds will exchange bodies again?"

"Yes."

"Alright, come see me tomorrow. I'll have the driver pick you up. The location will still be at my house today."

After accepting reality, Xiao Yu was very straightforward, and Lu Xing quickly agreed.

Both of them needed to understand each other's social relationships and some agreed-upon taboos, such as not being allowed to look at cows, or something else.

Soon it was the next day.

Xiao Yu, who woke up in her villa, opened her eyes and for a moment thought she was dreaming. In her dream yesterday, she had exchanged bodies with a college student and spent an awkward and uncomfortable day.

I hope it was a dream.

Xiao Yu took out her phone, scrolled through it, and quickly saw the name "Lu Xing" that she had marked.

Alas.

The dream was shattered.

Xiao Yu got up and washed up. Before going to the dining room for breakfast, she called Lu Xing.

"Are you up?" Xiao Yu didn't stand on ceremony with him. The two weren't friends, but they were closer than friends.

"Hello."

Lu Xing, however, greeted her in a stiff tone.

Xiao Yu was a little taken aback. She instinctively sensed that this wasn't Lu Xing's tone and tried asking him, "You are...?"

"You can call me B74."

"You are... Jiang Xuannv?!"

"Jiang Xuannv is my name. B74 is a simplified designation for my number."

"..."

Xiao Yu tried hard to convince herself that Lu Xing wasn't mentally ill; he had been transmigrated by Jiang Xuannv!

At the same time.

"Welcome back from sleep, compatriot."

Lu Xing woke up in a pure white room, a flat little girl's voice reaching his ears.

He hadn't figured out what was going on yet when the little girl's voice spoke again, "It is now seven o'clock and ten seconds in the morning. Please wake up within three minutes, get dressed within five minutes, finish breakfast within ten minutes, and leave home before seven fifteen to go to school at SH-755 on the first floor of the Virtual Zone. Morning classes are from seven thirty to twelve o'clock."

"?"

Lu Xing finally figured out the source of the voice: a small hairpin on top of his head.

It wasn't emitting sound, but rather transmitting the voice directly into his ear via signal.

If he remembered correctly, this voice was the same tone as Jiang Xuannv's voice.

"Who are you?"

Lu Xing asked it. This thing seemed to have some intelligence.

"I am an intelligent hairpin created by B74, used to remind you, compatriot, to abide by the rules of the virtual world. You can ask me anytime if you have anything you don't understand."

"Also," the hairpin added, "you, compatriot, do not need to use your throat to speak. You only need to transmit instructions to me via signal."

"Signal? How do I do that?"

"There is a chip implanted in your head that will automatically interpret your thoughts and send them out as signals."

"..."

Good heavens! Future human technology has reached this level?
