(A note before the book begins: when this story first starts, the "cheat" isn't particularly powerful, and the simulated experiences are filled with constant accidental deaths. Fortunately, thanks to suggestions from readers, it has been refined quite a bit, and I have ultimately set the maximum time acceleration for simulations to one hundred times. I ask for everyone's patience.)
(Also, if there are any clear conflicts with the original text or typos, please feel free to leave a comment, and I will fix them immediately upon seeing them.)
June 9th, around 3:00 PM.
No. 1 High School.
At this moment, the area outside the school gate was already packed with students' parents, each of them wearing an expression of anticipation and anxiety.
This was because their children were currently inside the school taking the most important exam of their lives.
Although humanity had endured the arduous period of the Grand Nirvana, during which countless people perished, the Huaxia Country had quickly reinstated this vital examination once they had recovered a bit of their vitality.
At this moment, in a corner outside the campus, a few people were chatting.
Among them was a lean, muscular man over 1.9 meters tall, with a hideous scar on his face.
Because of this man, the space around them was not as crowded as elsewhere.
"Dad, Mom, Brother Yang, after my brother finishes his exam and comes out, we must go celebrate properly!"
A frail youth sitting in a wheelchair, his skin a sickly pale, said with a smile.
"Alright! Once Xiaofeng comes out, we'll all go out to eat!"
The youth's mother, a middle-aged woman, said happily as well.
The middle-aged man beside her nodded in agreement.
Their family didn't usually eat out more than a few times a year, but today was the day their son finished his exams, and since their son's friend was here, eating out was only appropriate.
"No problem, Ah Hua. What do you want to eat later? Your Brother Yang will treat you!" Yang Wu, standing beside the three, also said with a smile.
Although Yang Wu said he would treat them, he knew very well that this meal today would not happen!
Because the youth named Luo Feng inside the exam hall was about to begin his path as a powerhouse.
As Yang Wu chatted with the three, he sighed slowly in his heart.
He was actually a transmigrator.
Three years ago, after dying accidentally while trying to help others, Yang Wu transmigrated into this world.
And this world was none other than Swallowed Star, a novel he had read over a dozen times in his past life.
This world was magnificent, filled with endless powerhouses and infinite excitement.
But all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Yang Wu.
Three years ago, when Yang Wu learned he had transmigrated into the world of Swallowed Star and become a minor background character, he had been extremely excited.
He had thought he had become a protagonist, capable of exploring the boundless universe and experiencing the endless wonders of this world.
Unfortunately, three years of reality had made him thoroughly understand that without talent, one could not take a single step in this world!
In truth, Yang Wu's talent wasn't bad; he was currently one of the "Advanced Students" at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, and he had basically reached the threshold of becoming a martial artist.
Such talent was naturally something to be envied in the eyes of ordinary people in this world.
After all, the vast majority of ordinary people could never become martial artists in their entire lives, and Yang Wu was only twenty-four years old.
However, if such talent were placed in the vast universe, it would be insignificant.
If Yang Wu remembered correctly, the bloodline of the people of Blue Star was ranked ninth in the universe, which was nearly at the very bottom.
Since he had never waited for his own "cheat," Yang Wu had chosen another path: the path of eternity taken by Wei Wen, a close friend of Luo Feng in the original work.
Over these three years, while Yang Wu worked hard on his cultivation, he also constantly offered guidance to Luo Feng after they became friends.
Over the three years, the relationship between Yang Wu and Luo Feng, if not better than that with Wei Wen, was at least on par.
Unfortunately, after today, Luo Feng's strength would surpass his own!
However, starting today, Yang Wu could finally lie flat and relax.
Relying on his relationship with Luo Feng, as long as he carefully avoided the few disasters that would befall Blue Star, becoming an immortal god with eternal life in the future was basically a certainty.
Just then, the school gate suddenly opened.
But it was still an hour and a half before the exam was supposed to end!
Could it be that a student had given up and turned in their paper early?
Under the gaze of all the parents, a teacher appeared at the school gate!
"Are the parents of student Luo Feng from Class 5, Grade 12 of No. 1 High School here? Are the parents of student Luo Feng from Class 5, Grade 12 of No. 1 High School here..."
As soon as he appeared at the gate, the teacher shouted loudly while holding a small megaphone.
"Hongguo, that teacher seems to be calling Xiaofeng's name!" Gong Xinlan said with some worry: "Only an hour has passed since the exam started, could something have happened to Xiaofeng?"
"It is Xiaofeng's name!" A look of worry also appeared on Luo Hongguo's face.
"Dad, Mom, let's hurry over. We shouldn't keep the teacher waiting!" At this moment, Luo Hua, sitting in his wheelchair, was surprisingly calm.
"That's right!"
Although Yang Wu knew exactly what had happened, he still said to the three: "Uncle, Aunt, let's go over first and see what's going on!"
"Right! Let's go over there first!" Gong Xinlan said hurriedly. "Hong Guo, you push Ah Hua!"
"I'll do it!" Yang Wu walked over directly.
The group of four hurried toward the gate.
"Excuse us, please! We are Luo Feng's family!" Yang Wu shouted while pushing Luo Hua.
Hearing Yang Wu's shout, the crowd of parents outside the school gave way one after another, though they whispered among themselves.
"What happened to this student? Even the teachers have come out!"
"Could it be that he was caught doing something wrong?"
"Life has only just stabilized, and now students are already starting to go astray! Sigh..."
"That's not right. I heard this student named Luo Feng is a model student with excellent grades. I think he's even a senior trainee at the Dojo!"
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, the four of them quickly arrived in front of the teacher.
Seeing Yang Wu approach the school gate, the martial artist in charge of the scene's security quietly moved a little closer to the entrance.
"Teacher, we are Luo Feng's family. What happened to Xiao Feng?" As soon as she reached the gate, Gong Xinlan asked anxiously.
"Please, don't worry yet!" the proctor comforted her.
"Student Luo Feng suddenly fainted in the exam hall. We have already contacted an ambulance! It is on its way now, so you should prepare yourselves in advance!"
How could this happen? Xiao Feng was fine, so why would he suddenly faint? Could it be that his previous headaches have flared up again? Gong Xinlan was deeply worried.
Her son, Luo Feng, had suffered from headaches since he was a child. He would have occasional bouts of pain every day and had even lost consciousness a few times.
However, after going to the hospital for checkups, they could never find anything wrong with him.
Now, hearing the news of her son's collapse, Gong Xinlan immediately thought of his chronic headaches.
"Uncle, Auntie, please don't worry too much." Yang Wu stood behind Luo Hua and said, "We don't know exactly what happened yet, so let's wait until the ambulance arrives."
Although the teacher was a bit intimidated by Yang Wu's appearance, he still offered comfort: "This family member is right. You should prepare yourselves and wait for the ambulance to arrive so you can go together!"
Wee-woo... wee-woo... wee-woo...
Accompanied by the wailing siren, an ambulance drove over from the distance.
Yang Wu was just about to take the three of them to the vehicle when he was stopped by a fully armed police officer at the school gate.
"Parents, this is a restricted exam area. You are not allowed to enter. Please wait for the ambulance to come out before you board!"
After saying this, the officer waved his hand and said to the two people who were about to board the vehicle for an inspection: "Saving lives is the priority. You two go and check on him!"
"Clear the way!"
After the two inspectors boarded the ambulance, the officer waved his hand and gave the order!
