Suddenly suffering a heavy blow, the old turtle's surface flickered with flickering light.
A layer of invisible colorful light spread in all directions.
Rumble.
Gao Peng's vision changed.
The world suddenly changed.
He smelled birds and flowers, smelled flowers blooming in all four seasons, saw the roar of planes, and heard the roar of cars.
Cars?
Gao Peng came back to his senses. I should be in a dream.
As Gao Peng thought, all the visions in his ears and the scenery in front of him disappeared. Gao Peng reappeared in the cold lake water.
Suddenly, the sky above his head darkened.
Time seemed to freeze and stand still.
When Gao Peng came back to his senses, his chest was pierced by a platinum spear.
Pfft.
Gao Peng felt weak all over and felt that his strength was being drained.
The blood in his body flowed out of the wound. Gao Peng lowered his head. There was a bleeding wound at the tip of the platinum spear, and the wound was bleeding profusely.
Gao Peng summoned Xiao Cao and let Xiao Cao heal him.
However, Xiao Cao's milky-white Holy Light did not have any effect on his wound. When a Saint-level healing effect was used on a wound caused by the Law of Metal, it was very difficult for it to have much effect. At the very least, it would require a power above the Quasi God level to have a certain effect.
Could it be that this is my final destination …?
Gao Peng closed his eyes and sat at the bottom of the sea, discouraged, quietly waiting for the end of his life.
He felt very tired. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Groggy and hazy, not knowing how long it was, Gao Peng suddenly woke up.
There was an extra memory in his consciousness.
I am … Gao Peng?
No, no, I'm already dead.
The voices in his ears gradually became noisy and boiling.
Gao Peng opened his eyes. A few nurses were looking at him with kind faces.
"It's born. It's a boy."
One of the older nurses with a fierce face came over. Looking at the attitude of the nurses around her, her position should not be low. She might be the head nurse or something like that.
The head nurse grabbed Gao Peng's little hand and grabbed a test tube from the side. She dripped the purple liquid on the back of Gao Peng's hand.
Gao Peng felt pain on the back of his hand. The surrounding nurses poked their heads over.
"Ah."
"Eh."
"So pitiful."
"Sigh, it should be miserable."
A few young nurses chattered among themselves.
Their voices gradually became softer. Gao Peng was a little tired, so he closed his eyes.
The young body always needed more rest.
Am I transmigrating or am I reincarnating after I die?
Gao Peng wanted to think about it, but every time he tried to delve deeper into it, other thoughts would suddenly appear and interfere with his thoughts.
Gradually, Gao Peng seemed to have given up on the idea of delving into it. He just went with the flow.
As time passed, Gao Peng began to understand why the nurse had such an expression on her face and why the other nurses had said those words to him.
This was a cruel world. It was also a world with clear class distinctions.
Everyone would have a number in their body from the moment they were born.
This number represented a person's talent, as well as his status and position.
From the moment they were born, their talent determined their life.
The numbers were 0-9. 0 was the weakest talent. It was not much different from a mentally retarded person. 3 was an ordinary person. 9 was the greatest genius.
Unfortunately, Gao Peng's talent was 0. When Gao Peng first heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Fortunately, although Gao Peng's talent was very poor, his family background was very good. His father was a high-ranking government official. His mother was also a member of a corresponding political marriage family. His background was deep. This also allowed Gao Peng to avoid a lot of setbacks. Of course, in the process, some malicious rumors and slanders were inevitable.
The adult state of mind allowed Gao Peng to ignore these rumors and slanders. They made Gao Peng's mind stronger.
It was just that Gao Peng noticed something strange about himself.
It was reasonable to say that his talent was only 0. No matter what he learned, he couldn't learn it. He should be the most incompetent kind.
But Gao Peng found that his learning speed was very fast. A lot of things could be understood at a glance and learned at a glance.
Could it be that he was the legendary good-for-nothing protagonist template? Gao Peng sometimes thought about this question, but in the end, he just smiled.
On a rainy day.
His father didn't come home from work as usual. Gao Peng sat on the villa's windowsill. The sky outside the window was dark.
The dense rainstorm turned into a curtain that covered the sky. The scenery in the distance couldn't be seen.
Only the hazy fog could be seen. The car's headlights pierced through the rain. A black car stopped in front of the villa's parking lot.
A figure holding a black umbrella hurried in.
The door of the villa opened, and a tall, skinny woman with long, wavy yellow hair walked into Gao Peng's room. Her black clothes were wet, and they clung to her body like tights, outlining her curvaceous figure.
"I was entrusted by your father to take you away. Your father was arrested for corruption. He has offended a lot of enemies in the past. If you continue to stay here, it will be dangerous. I'm here to take you away."
Gao Peng pursed his lips and remained silent. He didn't believe her.
The woman who claimed to be entrusted by Gao Peng's father seemed to have expected this situation. She took out a series of identification documents from her bag. There were also photos of Gao Peng's father being arrested and a custody transfer certificate signed by Gao Peng's father himself.
Gao Peng stared at the photos for a full ten minutes. After being in this world for thirteen years, Gao Peng had already established some kind of tacit understanding with this man.
Perhaps he wasn't a qualified father. He barely accompanied Gao Peng. The few times he could remember them being together could be counted on one's fingers.
However, ever since Gao Peng's mother died in childbirth, the two of them had been relying on each other for survival. He had never once mentioned finding a stepmother for Gao Peng, nor had he ever brought a woman home from outside. Gao Peng's evaluation of Gao Peng was hard to say, but at least he was a qualified father.
In the end, Gao Peng believed her and left with this woman. He also said goodbye to his original home.
The woman brought Gao Peng around. Gao Peng also truly experienced the bitterness of the world.
The size of the talent number didn't have much of an impact on the upper echelons of society. Because even a person in a vegetative state would be well taken care of under their power.
But for the lower and middle class, talent was something that determined one's fate.
Gao Peng was originally a private teacher. After losing his original identity, Gao Peng could only go to a public school or a private school to study.
But because of Gao Peng's talent, even a private school wouldn't accept a trash with 0 talent. Although they were willing to make money, they wouldn't ruin their own reputation for a small amount of money.
Time passed quickly. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these ten years, Gao Peng and this woman left their original country. In order to hide their identity, they even hid in a neighboring country.
Of course, perhaps considering Gao Peng's 0 talent, those political enemies and enemies of his father didn't come looking for him.
"Tang, bring the boiling water down." The woman shouted to the shed behind her. The woman tied up her hair. It was no longer wavy like before. Her black shoulder-length hair was easy to comb and wash.
"Coming." A young man with a stubble, wearing flip-flops and a white singlet with a hole in his upper body walked out of the house with a big pot.
One could vaguely make out Gao Peng's appearance. In order to survive, he changed his name to Tang.
Without a degree, he couldn't be qualified for most jobs. He could only make some food in the slums and become a hawker to get by.
Fortunately, Gao Peng and she were quite diligent. Every day, they would wake up at 3: 30 in the morning and prepare ingredients while rolling noodles.
They would set up the stall at 4: 30 and sell until 1: 00 in the afternoon.
Then they would go to the market to buy ingredients and marinate them at home.
Every day was repeated. Although it was boring, Gao Peng and she were already used to this kind of life.
Although they weren't husband and wife in name, the two people who relied on each other for survival were already husband and wife.
Because the government prohibited people with 0 talent from marrying, because they thought 0 was a useless talent. They didn't want this kind of talent to continue to be passed down.
Therefore, Gao Peng and she couldn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate and continue to live together like this.
Maybe the rest of their lives would pass like this.
The child had been pregnant for nine months. She sat on the stool with a big belly and looked at Gao Peng happily.
Although Gao Peng repeatedly emphasized to her to have a good rest and take care of the baby.
But she, who was used to the biological clock, woke up as usual. Watching her husband work for this family was a happy thing.
She was by my side. If something happened, it would be convenient for me to take care of her.
Gao Peng thought so.
"Good brother, for life."
"For brother, I'll do anything."
The drunkard's shout came from the other side of the street.
A few drunkards walked over with their arms around each other's shoulders. Their faces were as red as blood, their eyes were blurred, and they were wearing colorful clothes.
Alcohol made people bold.
A drunkard saw a woman sitting on the street and came up to flirt with her with a lewd smile. Obscene and vulgar words were blurted out.
Seeing that it was a drunkard, Gao Peng didn't want to cause trouble. He just waved his hand to drive the drunkard away and let the woman go back to the back room first.
Five drunkards surrounded him without him knowing.
Gao Peng's face changed slightly. He took out a sharp knife from the basket on his back. It was shining with cold light and the blade was polished bright. It could cut open the stomach with one slash.
If it was a normal person, they might be scared away. But the cold light of the sharp knife stimulated the five drunkards. At this moment, even if it was a real evil spirit in front of them, they wouldn't hesitate to pounce on it.
The fight broke out in an instant. In the screams of passers-by, in the splashing of silver light and blood, six people lay on the ground.
The five drunkards fell in a pool of blood. The woman was also shocked and in pain. She fell on the uneven gravel road of the slum.
An ambulance came, accompanied by a police car.
Gao Peng was sent to prison. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived in time. Between the mother and the unborn baby, Gao Peng chose the mother. In the end, the mother's life was saved, but the baby was unfortunately born with a difficult birth.
Before Gao Peng had time to feel sad, it was sentenced to life imprisonment for maliciously wounding another person and illegal reproduction.
In prison, Gao Peng was isolated and didn't fit in with the other inmates.
Twenty years later, Gao Peng was released early because of good behavior.
The woman also waited for Gao Peng outside the prison for twenty years. She was carrying a bag of apples and waiting for Gao Peng outside the prison with wrinkles on her face.
Because of the injury, the woman couldn't get pregnant again.
Gao Peng had already gotten over it and didn't bother about these mundane things. He found a quiet small city with the woman and worked hard from dawn to dusk. They earned a sum of money and opened a small shop. Just like that, year after year passed.
The woman was already very old. Because of the injury she suffered when she was young, her body, which was full of illnesses, completely collapsed at the age of 72. When the woman left, she closed her eyes happily and lay in Gao Peng's arms.
That night, Gao Peng closed the shop that wasn't doing very well. He counted the coins in the cash box one by one on the counter and wrote a donation letter.
When he returned home, he closed the door and windows and hugged the woman on the bed to sleep.
There was a faint smile on the woman's face as if she had just fallen asleep.
Closing his eyes, Gao Peng recalled everything that had happened in his life, from his birth to the end. Gao Peng sighed. If he had any regrets … he definitely had a lot of them.
In the deep darkness, Gao Peng's memories gradually faded.
All the memory fragments were like old photos at dusk, stripped away by time bit by bit.
.....
Gao Peng opened his eyes. A few nurses in front of him surrounded him and looked at him kindly. "It's born. It's a boy."
A slightly older nurse with a fierce face walked over and dripped some medicine.
Gao Peng felt pain on the back of his hand again, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Ah."
"Eh?"
"So pitiful."
Where had he seen this scene before?
Gao Peng felt that this scene was very familiar.
He tried hard to recall. After all, a baby's head couldn't think too much.
"Oh, I remember now. This is my second life. I've returned to the day I was born and her."
Gao Peng suddenly understood.
However, Gao Peng felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important.
He squinted his eyes and let his imagination run wild. As he thought and thought, he fell asleep.
Five years later, by the window, a little boy sat by the bed and stared blankly at the sky. After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the white paper on the table in front of him.
On the white paper were the words "Familiar", "Grandpa", and "Da Zi".
It was only when Gao Peng thought of these words that he remembered something.
"I've almost forgotten all of them …"
After his rebirth, Gao Peng felt that his memory seemed to have been wiped out too much.
If there was a next life, he might have forgotten all of it.
A look of helplessness appeared on the little boy's face, but soon his eyes showed some determination. No matter what, I won't forget it!
In this life, Gao Peng's life was much more successful than in his first life. Because he knew the direction of some major events in advance, his father was not caught. Instead, he became bigger and bigger. Gao Peng also found her in his previous life.
Everything was so perfect, just like the most realistic dream. There was not the slightest difference.
In this life, Gao Peng lived for 103 years.
When Gao Peng died, his descendants came to his room.
A little boy looked around curiously. He found that his great-grandfather had a very strange temper. The room was filled with paintings. They were all paintings of centipedes. They were so lifelike that it was incomparably terrifying.
There was a piece of calligraphy at the head of the bed. There were two words on the calligraphy — Da Zi!
Of course, in the eyes of some of the younger generation, the old man must have written it wrong. The old man must have wanted to write "Great Wisdom"!
Great Wisdom Looks Foolish!
Therefore, the Gao family's motto was "Great Wisdom Looks Foolish".
In the third life, Gao Peng opened his eyes.
There were even fewer memories in his mind. Every time, at least 99% of his memories would be erased. Gao Peng had no other choice but to constantly deepen his memory so that he could remember as much of his previous life as possible in this life. This way, he would be able to retain more of his memories in his next life.
However, Gao Peng knew that if this cycle of reincarnation continued, sooner or later, he would sink into it.
With a long sigh, Gao Peng did not know how long he could last.
"Hey, you're awake."
A voice sounded in his ear.
Gao Peng suddenly felt that something was wrong. He remembered that as long as he did not have the butterfly effect, many things would not change. Why was this voice different from the memories of his previous two lives …
Gao Peng turned his head and saw a fat fish head on the nurse's neck. It tilted its head and carefully sized up Gao Peng.
Gao Peng: "Monster!?"
Whoosh.
The scenes in front of him shattered like broken glass in an instant.
A large number of memories flooded Gao Peng's mind like a tide. With a muffled groan, Gao Peng finally remembered.
"I ate this old clam. It just released an ability and pulled us all into a dream." Fat Sea explained. After speaking, it licked its lips. Its belly was round.
