Ye Ci sat on the top floor of Glory Corporation's observation tower.
Beside her was the PVP Champion Trophy she had just won in Fate's 2nd Battle of the Kings.
Ye Ci lowered her head and looked at the crystal trophy. Her heart felt empty.
She reached for the pocket of her windbreaker, where she had just bought a pack of cigarettes.
Ye Ci had never smoked before, but today, she really wanted to smoke.
Ye Ci lit the cigarette with a skill she was unfamiliar with. She took a deep breath and immediately choked on it, coughing violently. She raised her head and stubbornly looked at the night sky. She forced a smile on her lips.
"Dad, mom, I did it. But why don't I feel happy at all? " She stretched out her slender fingers and touched the trophy. Then, she raised it high into the sky and shouted with a hoarse voice, "Look!
I've won the trophy, I've become strong, I've stood at the peak, but why don't I feel happy at all! "
In this bustling city, on this night filled with neon lights, no one would pay attention to this tiny human.
Ye Ci covered her face with her hands. She found that her face was dry, without even a single tear. She screamed in pain, "Is this my punishment? I gave up everything in order to become strong. Is this my punishment? "
Then, she could not help but laugh.
"What do you mean by giving up everything? What do you mean by becoming strong? It's just that everyone has abandoned me. What have I done for today? Dad was so angry that mom left home. I left all my friends behind. I thought that I was a crane in a flock of chickens. I thought that no one would understand me. I'm just a scumbag. "
"But now …"
Ye Ci closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with the embarrassing situation of being rejected by the organizers. It was because she had no teammates. She had no friends.
"Fate does not need a person to be strong, because a person's strength cannot be separated from the people around them. Miss Ye, I'm sorry, but the essence of Battle of the Kings is the team battle. Now that no team has accepted you, we can only regretfully reject your participation. "
No team has accepted her …
Hehe, how could there be a team that would accept her!
She was the number one female Mage, but she was also the most ruthless and black-hearted Mage in Fate. She hadn't even helped anyone in the last ten years of her life.
Not only in the game, but even in real life, she had become synonymous with coldness and selfishness.
Ye Ci took out her cell phone and dialed the numbers one by one. She felt extremely lonely. She just wanted to find someone to talk to. Anyone would do.
"Sorry, the number you are calling is not in service."
"Sorry, the number you are calling is not in service."
…
There weren't many people's names on the phone, and 90% of them were already dead. How long had it been since she last contacted someone?
The phone's cursor stopped at the last number. This was a number that she was once incomparably familiar with. It was also the last trace of warmth in her heart. He should still be around. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed the number.
"Sorry, the number you are calling is not in service."
The system's cold notification made Ye Ci lose all the strength in her body. How ridiculous. Who else in this world was like her? She seemed to be living a glorious life, but in reality, she was already abandoned by everyone.
Ye Ci stood up shakily and threw the phone in her hand away, "Not in service! I, Ye Ci, don't care about you … "
Before she could finish her sentence, a gust of wind blew past, causing Ye Ci to fall down the building. Panicking, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed something. She looked up and saw that it was none other than the trophy that had hung her on the hundred-meter-tall building.
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. Tears streamed down her face.
Is this all that's left in the end?
What's the meaning of my life?
Let go, let go. Let my life end like this. It's sad and lonely.
Ye Ci took one last look at the PVP trophy and let go of her hand.
Endless darkness instantly engulfed her, as if she had never been here before.
She had a terrible headache.
However, the sun was so warm that she couldn't help but sleep for a while longer.
The girl on the bed sniffled and curled herself into a ball. She shrank under the blanket and fell into a sweet dream.
Ten seconds later, the soft, snow-white blanket was suddenly lifted. The girl on the bed sat up and stared at everything in the room as if she had seen a ghost.
"Is this heaven or a dream?" She muttered to herself, then shook her head. "People like me probably won't be able to enter heaven …"
She lowered her head and looked at her hands. They were slender and fair. Her hand reached into the blanket and pinched her thigh without hesitation.
"Ah!!" The piercing pain made her scream. Tears immediately flowed down her face.
It's really not a dream!
"What's wrong? What's wrong? " The door of the room was pushed open with a bang. A middle-aged man wearing an apron and holding a soup ladle rushed in from outside. His face was filled with anxiety. He looked at the girl who was screaming on the bed and asked anxiously, "What happened to Ci Ci? What's wrong? Did you fall on the floor in a dream again? "
Ye Ci, who was sitting on the bed, stared at the man standing by the bed with wide eyes. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Don't tell me you fell and became stupid!" Ye Nantian reached out and waved his hand in front of Ye Ci's face.
"Dad!" Ye Ci grabbed his hand and stood up. She hugged Ye Nantian's neck. Tears immediately fell from her nose.
Forget it. Even if it was a dream, as long as she could see her parents again, she would be happy even if it was a dream.
"What's wrong?" Ye Nantian was a little surprised. His daughter had never been so intimate with him since she turned 15. Today's change made him a little confused.
"It's so good to see you again, Dad." Ye Ci's eyes were blurred with tears. She hugged her father's neck tightly and said sincerely.
"What are you saying! It's as if I came back from the dead. " Ye Nantian laughed. He patted Ye Ci's back and pulled her away. "Dad is going to make breakfast. If you're awake, come down quickly!"
He stroked Ye Ci's hair and walked out of the room.
Ye Ci was stunned on the bed. She stared at the electronic clock on the wall that had turned into a beautiful sculpture.
August 20, 2050, 07: 37
2050?
2050?!!!!
She didn't know how long she was in a daze. She jumped up and rushed to the desk. She grabbed the mirror and looked at her face with trembling hands.
In the mirror was the face of an 18 or 19-year-old. Her face was rosy and had a little baby fat. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of vitality.
This was her from ten years ago.
Ye Ci was 100% sure. This was because there was no scar between her eyebrows from the small car accident ten years ago.
But, what's going on?
Ye Ci put down the mirror and took a good look at the room. There was a bamboo double bed, a bookshelf and a computer desk made of the same material, and a promotional poster for Fate pasted on the wall. There was an empty space in the corner of the room.
Did I go back in time ten years ago?
I went back in time ten years ago!
Ye Ci's heart was filled with joy. She was filled with emotions.
The heavens had been so kind to her. She thought that she would be drowned in the endless sea of death with regret for the rest of her life. She never thought that she would be able to start over again!
Did this mean that she could correct all the mistakes she had made?
Ye Ci could no longer sit still. She stood up and rushed to the living room.
Ye Nantian was serving breakfast on the dining table. Zuo Xiaolan was wiping the dust off the cupboard in the living room. The two looked up when they heard Ye Ci's footsteps.
Ye Ci rushed into the living room, and was greeted by the sight of the warm scene that had long since disappeared from her life.
She blinked her eyes. She felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
She had thought about it a thousand times. If her father could be resurrected and her mother would not leave her, she would be a good daughter. She would no longer be stubborn, selfish, and rebellious. She would be obedient and well-behaved.
She never thought that she would have such an opportunity.
After biting her lips for a while, a bright smile bloomed on her face. She said happily, "Dad, mom, good morning!"
Zuo Xiaolan sat on the sofa and looked at Ye Ci who was busy in the kitchen. She nudged Ye Nantian and whispered, "I say, what's wrong with Ci Ci? She's been so obedient these few days. Not only did she cut off those bad friends, she even took the initiative to do the housework. Is there something wrong with her? "
"Aren't you happy that our daughter has become obedient?" Ye Nantian looked at his wife with a smile. He then beckoned Ye Ci to sit down.
Ye Ci sat down. She was happy even though she did not know what her father wanted her to do. To her, her current life was as blissful as heaven. Everything was fine.
Ye Nantian cleared his throat, "Ci Ci, you once told me that you wanted a Fate gaming capsule. I promised to buy it for you as long as you got into university. Now, I'm fulfilling my promise. The gaming capsule will be delivered tomorrow. "
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. Memories of the past flashed through her mind like a movie.
That's right, a Fate gaming capsule.
Her fate seemed to have changed from that moment onwards.
Her family's fate seemed to have changed from that moment onwards.
If, if everything could be redone, what would her choice be?
"But tell me, why do you want such a high quality gaming capsule? You can play games with a normal helmet. Why do you want a Holographic Gaming Capsule? "
Ye Nantian was unaware of the turmoil in Ye Ci's mind. He looked at Ye Ci quietly and smiled.
Ye Ci only wanted the gaming capsule because of a bet with her friends. Even though her family was not rich, her parents who doted on her still bought her this luxurious item that cost a hundred thousand RMB.
How did she answer her parents' question? She said that she wanted to soar to the top in Fate.
What happened in the end? She did it. But in order to soar to the top, she lost her friends, her parents, her happiness, and even her life. It was all because of her arrogance and stupidity!
