In another world, New Year's Eve of 2999 AD.
The cold wind is blowing, and the winter wind is blowing across the earth.
In a welfare community in a city in Xia Country, the mother planet of Blue Star, Qin Shou turned off his personal bracelet as soon as 11:30 passed, and lay on the bed bored, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, preparing to spend his 26th New Year's Eve in this world.
Thinking about other big time travelers who have traveled through time for more than 20 years, becoming superstars, richest people, gods and ancestors, their lives must be so exciting.
Thinking about myself again, I was an orphan in my previous life. In order to save enough money for the bride price before I turned 33, I forced myself to work 9-12-7, and I collapsed at my workstation after working for three consecutive months.
In this life, when I was three years old, I awakened my past life memories in an orphanage and thought that destiny was in my hands, and I was about to kill everyone.
It is discovered that we have traveled to a so-called galactic era, where human footprints are spread all over the solar system.
The moon, Mars and even the star rings are already full of people, and the Space Exploration Agency announces every few days that it will break through the solar system and migrate to extrasolar bodies. The happier I was before, the more desperate I am now.
After all, I was just an ordinary person in my previous life. Under the influence of my previous life's ideas, if I want to grow better than others in this life, I need to work twice as hard.
Qin Shou has been working hard since he was young, and he is also known as a child prodigy. In order to achieve sexual happiness when he grows up, Qin Shou works very hard.
But everything changed when I was 10 years old and came into contact with superpowers.
There is no doubt that war is the greatest stimulus to human will.
In peacetime, in order to maintain stimulation of the pineal gland, society keeps supernatural powers a secret from children under the age of 10.
They will only be allowed to watch movies and animations about superpower battles and superpower wars to increase children's yearning for superpowers, so that after learning that superpowers really exist, they can achieve the maximum awakening rate of superpowers under the strong stimulation of the pineal gland.
In this galaxy era, the number of people who have awakened their special powers is not many, but it is definitely not a small number either. The 10% awakening rate of civilians is really not special considering the total population of the solar system is nearly 120 billion.
At the 10-year-old awakening ceremony, someone awakened the ability of super memory - photographic memory;
Some people have awakened elemental powers and performed on the spot by rubbing flames with their hands and spewing spring water from their mouths;
some people have awakened alien powers - a few pieces of wood together can make people fly into the sky. Can you believe it?
Poor Qin Shou, under the impact of his worldview and self-doubt, he was the last one to participate in the awakening, and awakened the ability to become gigantic.
Gigantism ability - can manipulate the body to become larger (defense/strength, etc. increase year-on-year), or can partially enlarge without any harm to the body.
Qin Shou, who had just acquired superpowers, was so excited when he learned about his superpowers that the volume of his head (the one on his neck) increased by 10%.
Then, with a puzzled look on his face, he was told: below the third level of supernatural power strength, elemental, mental and physical supernatural powers can easily get out of control when excited. In an extremely excited state, the rate of loss of control reaches 99.99‰, and there are also cases of supernatural users self-destructing due to loss of control of supernatural powers.
Superpowers grow naturally, from level 0 to level 1 in about 3 years, from level 1 to level 2 in about 9 years, from level 2 to level 3 in about 27 years, and so on for the remaining levels, and there is no bottleneck.
Of course, you can combine it with proper exercise to slightly reduce the improvement time, or combine it with massive resources to slightly reduce the improvement time.
The strength of superpowers is additive. For example, Qin Shou's gigantic superpower doubles at the first level and doubles at the second level.
To reach the third level of superpowers, physical superpowers with the cooperation of civilian resources, the fastest speed is 38.5 years. Yes, that's half a year less.
In this galactic age where the average life expectancy is 180 years, 39 years is not a long time, but it is not short either.
As for Qin Shou, an orphan who was born in an orphanage and has fewer resources than ordinary people, the time he would take to break through to the third level of supernatural powers would be even longer. If he could save three to five months, he would be very lucky.
After awakening, Qin Shou's memory, creativity, and even reaction speed in playing games and virtual e-sports were no match for others. He had to give up all the plans he had made before the age of 10.
After all, even after growing bigger, they can't move bricks faster than robots, so what's the point of those plans? They can only move to a welfare community after awakening at the age of 10 and start to receive the national minimum living allowance. The welfare protection in the 30th century is still very good.
Since he was 10 years old, poor Qin Shou could only exercise at home during the day and play stand-alone strategy games at night to balance work and rest.
I will try to break through to the third level of superpower as soon as possible, so that I can freely control the growth of my body. Then I hope a beautiful rich woman will fall in love with me and take me away from the welfare community.
Thinking of this, Qin Shou looked at his right hand and felt even more sad. After all, no girl would like to be halfway through a kiss when the man suddenly becomes huge and turns into a man who can swallow her head with one mouth.
After all, when the human body becomes larger, no matter how handsome you are, you will look scary because of your body size.
Looking at the clock approaching 12 o'clock, Qin Shou turned on the bracelet and entered the music software. In the new year, he was also ready to start with Internet Depression Music. After all, if he didn't suppress himself and imagine the beautiful future, Qin Shou didn't know if he could survive the remaining 23 years.
Listening to songs and humming tunes, time flies and the new year is here.
"Ding, you have a new offline sandbox strategy game email recommendation for internal testing. Please claim it."
Upon hearing that a new game was coming out, Qin Shou stopped getting up to grab the spicy strips. He first opened his bracelet and reserved a spot in the internal test with his hand speed, which was equivalent to a virgin for 59 years in two lifetimes combined.
Then I looked at the game introduction projected on the bracelet and was speechless:
Game Name: Guarding the Goddess
Release date: 3000-1-1
Developer: ? ? ? Zhi
Operator: ??? Zhi
Issuing platform: ??? Zhi
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Game progress: Deleted file internal test
Game Realism: Awareness Arrives
Number of Players: Single (tentative)
Built-in game: No recharge/no screenshot/no video.
Internal test number: 1/100 (1 person scheduled)
Internal test duration: 3 days
Countdown to the start of internal testing: 00:04:53 ???
??? ???
What the hell is this?
Can developers, operators, and distribution platforms still display one word when they type a question mark? Or is the company name like this?
There is also the coming of consciousness, isn't it just a virtual online game? Since the advent of virtual online games, the highest degree of realism has been improved to 35%.
This operator wrote "consciousness has arrived" in the degree of realism, well, it didn't even write the degree of reality. It seems like they are trying to cheat people out of money by using a degree of realism below 20 again.
There is also this weird internal beta test, which is limited to 100 people. How can this test out the der? For other games, even if the internal beta is lower, as long as there are enough activation codes, any number of people can participate in the internal beta test. As for how many activation codes are there? That depends on personal opinion.
Qin Shou stared at the slowly approaching countdown for the internal test, got up, picked up a bag of Weilong spicy strips and started eating.
Since I have already pre-ordered a crappy game, I can still play it. It should have a beginning and an end, right? Maybe it is a pearl among the lingering memories.
As the countdown approached 10 seconds, Qin Shou consciously clicked the button to enter the game while looking at the number of reservations.
Well, I was the only one who made the reservation. It turned out that I was overthinking about the hidden gem.
As the countdown for the internal test reached zero, Qin Shou pressed the button to enter the game, and the screen projected by the bracelet instantly went dark. At the same time, Qin Shou closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.
I'm a new author and I hope you all support my new book~
This is the follow-up plot of the relationship between supernatural powers, so I'll just describe it casually. If there are any poorly written parts or typos, please point them out in the comments of this chapter.
