"Damn it, it's so itchy!"
Zhang Tongming regained consciousness from the darkness. He could only feel waves of itchiness on his left chest, where his heart was.
"What time is it now? I promised to release a thousand orders today! You can't go back on your words! " As a LV1 writer in a certain literary group, Zhang Tongming had failed in every genre, including fantasy, xianxia, and urban. It was not easy for him to get a thousand orders in the fantasy genre, so Zhang Tongming valued it very much!
Resisting the waves of itchiness on his chest, Zhang Tongming struggled to stand up from the bed and opened his eyes in a daze. However, in the next second, Zhang Tongming was completely stunned.
How was this still his shabby rental apartment?
The spacious hall, the burning fireplace, the exquisite thick carpet, the soft leather sofa, the gas lamp emitting a dim light … The house was full of classical European decorations, and everything was so incredible.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhang Tongming seemed to have realized something. He hurriedly looked around the room, and after a while, his eyes stopped on the mirror.
"Blonde hair, white skin, black eyes, high nose bridge, handsome facial features, strong limbs, gorgeous clothes …"
Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhang Tongming's face showed a strange expression, and he muttered to himself, "Did I travel to another world?"
As a web writer, Zhang Tongming had written countless "time travel" titles, but it was the first time that he had actually traveled to another world.
Just when Zhang Tongming was still a little hesitant about whether he had really traveled to another world, a pile of memory fragments that he had never heard of before appeared in his mind.
Connor Ferguson, a noble of the Kahman Empire, the heir of the Ferguson family, and a second-year history student at Green University. Because of the death of his mother, Catherine Francis, he and his father, the head of the Ferguson family, the old Ferguson, had a big quarrel. He angrily left the family and came to Green University in the western port commercial city of Loen City to study history.
His father, Old Ferguson, the hereditary count of the Kaman Empire, was a typical fallen noble of the empire. In order to maintain the 'dignity' of the count, he did not hesitate to mortgage and sell the lands and manors of the Ferguson family that had been passed down for generations.
His mother, Catherine Francis, was the daughter of the Francis Financial Group. Her marriage with old Ferguson was a marriage between a declining hereditary noble and a financial group that had rapidly accumulated wealth during the industrial revolution. The noble wanted a huge dowry, while the financial group wanted to use the power of the noble to increase their social status and influence.
But from the perspective of marriage, Catherine and Old Ferguson's marriage was a complete tragedy. Not long after the marriage, Old Ferguson continued to indulge in the debauchery of noble life.
In Connor's memories, old Ferguson had always taken on the responsibility of a father. Even something as important as practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique, which had been passed down in the Ferguson family for generations, was taught by an old steward who was over seventy years old in place of old Ferguson.
The death of his mother, Catherine, was a huge blow to Connor. Zhang Tongming, who had fused with his memory fragments, could clearly feel Connor's longing and grief for his mother.
In order to force Connor to admit his mistakes and submit to his authority, old Ferguson closed all of Connor's bank accounts. But even so, Connor's life in Green University was not poor.
His mother, Catherine, had bought Connor an education fund when he was very young. From the day Zhang Tongming was admitted to Green University, Zhang Tongming could receive thirty pounds of living expenses every month until Connor finished his studies.
Zhang Tongming originally wanted to know more about Connor's life, but regrettably, the itch in his chest was unbearable.
Unbuttoning his gorgeous top, Zhang Tongming was just about to scratch to relieve the itch in his chest, but before he could move, he was once again stunned by his own reflection in the mirror.
In the mirror, the left side of Zhang Tongming's chest, where his heart was, shockingly had a fist-sized hole. Not a drop of blood could be seen at the edge of the flesh, and his deathly pale ribs were exposed to the air just like that!
"Clang!"
Such a horrifying scene made Zhang Tongming collapse to the ground, cold sweat running down his back.
"Fuck, what the hell? How can I still be alive with this kind of injury? "
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Tongming's mood slowly calmed down, and he began to carefully examine the wound in his heart.
Through the wound and ribs, Zhang Tongming could clearly see that in the center of the hole, his bright red heart was beating, and at the same time, at the edge of the hole, layer after layer of pink granulation was constantly being produced at a speed visible to the naked eye, healing the wound in his heart. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the wound in his chest was completely healed.
Feeling all of this, Zhang Tongming breathed out a mouthful of turbid air in relief, and fell into deep thought.
This kind of exposed heart could still be alive and kicking, and then heal on its own. From the looks of it, the information about Beyonder abilities in Connor's memories might not be fake? In this world, magicians with extraordinary abilities might not only exist as a legend that few people knew of.
In this world, according to Zhang Tongming's understanding, the first industrial revolution should have already been completed, and was developing towards the second industrial revolution. Weaving machines, steam trains, and hot air balloons had already appeared, and if it continued to develop like this, in a few hundred years, this world would have developed to the same level of technology as Earth.
As for the seemingly omnipotent and powerful magicians, Connor Ferguson, this hereditary noble, didn't have much information about them. What little information he had was all obtained from the documents and materials in the family's secret library.
Those treasures that had been collected by the Ferguson family for generations, and were so ancient that they seemed like they could be blown to pieces by a gust of wind, revealed a shocking secret. That was, not only did magicians really exist in this world, but the main force driving the development of the world's productivity wasn't scientists, but magicians, magicians with all kinds of mysterious abilities!
[Beep! The unknown energy in the Host's body has been cleared, and the Host has recovered to a healthy state!]
While Zhang Tongming was still in a daze from this huge secret, a chilly female voice resounded in his mind. At the same time, the itchiness caused by the healing of the flesh tendrils in his chest also stopped.
