Chapter 1: Watching Guangzi

"Click!" There was a soft sound, and a slightly dim light came on.

Tang Hao dragged his tired body into the rental house, threw himself heavily on the bed, and couldn't help sighing.

It has been more than a month since he left school, and he still has no job. His parents have called him more than once to persuade him to go back to his hometown to find a job.

Every time this happened, Tang Hao would secretly curse his own incompetence and regret his past decadence and indulgence.

I hated myself for having fun during my four years in college, always craving for a score of 60. I finally came to my senses just before graduation, but no matter how anxious I was, there was no chance of me passing the postgraduate entrance examination.

I could only go around and attend campus recruitment presentations, but I didn't get a tripartite agreement until I left school, and all the job application letters I sent out also fell into the sea.

Tang Hao didn't understand what people were saying about the employment winter online.

Now I can only deliver takeout while continuing to look for a suitable job.

"I don't have much money left, and I have to pay the rent soon. I need money everywhere!" Fortunately, the landlord was easy to talk to and agreed to a one-month deposit and one-month rent payment, otherwise he would have been worried about where to live.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao took out his mobile phone, saw that there was only 8% battery left, and charged it.

He muttered, "Rubbish power banks, rubbish phones, no use. When I have enough money, I will replace you all."

I might as well follow my colleagues' example and install a car USB. This way I won't have to worry about the battery life of my mobile phone. Maybe I can deliver a lot more orders in a day, and that's all money.

While thinking in his mind, he rummaged through the files with his hands, found the conversation records with his roommate, downloaded a cracked software shared by the other party, installed it on his mobile phone, and let it run in the background.

Then he skillfully opened an app called "Advertising Brush".

This is a small program that makes money by posting advertisements. It was also recommended by his roommate. Tang Hao has been playing with it for a while. After fiddling with it every day, he can withdraw about ten or twenty dollars, which is better than nothing.

Today my roommate said he found a cracked software that can increase the income by more than ten times. I don’t know if it is reliable.

After the familiar startup screen, Tang Hao began to complete the advertising tasks.

The first thing that popped up was an advertisement for a cultivation game called "Endless Immortal Journey". The graphics were indeed very beautiful, especially the fairy holding a sword standing in the void, but he was familiar with the routine and knew that once he really entered the game, the quality of the graphics would depend entirely on the conscience of the development company.

Tang Hao casually looked at the advertisement content and noticed that, unlike before, there was a small pop-up window on the screen with five small words "Cracking Loading" in the center and a circle of blue circular progress bars around it.

When the game advertisement countdown ends and the blue progress bar also finishes running, the prompt immediately changes to "Cracking Completed", plus a small "OK" button.

"It seems to work." According to what my roommate said, I can ignore the ad countdown from now on, and just keep brushing along the way to get considerable profits, so nice!

Tang Hao finally smiled happily, nodded with satisfaction, and pressed the [OK] button casually.

But the next moment.

There was a loud bang, and a burst of electricity rushed into his body, and then he completely lost consciousness.

It was not known how long had passed before Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes. He supported himself with his arms and just as he managed to sit up, he felt a splitting headache, followed by a burst of palpitations, his whole body aching, and dizziness.

"What's wrong with me? I feel so sick and weak, like I've lost a lot of blood and been beaten up."

Tang Hao recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.

He didn't know at this moment that his phone must have been out of battery.

"But electric shock shouldn't have these symptoms!"

Fortunately, I'm still alive...right?

Tang Hao looked around. The space was about 30 square meters, with a pure wooden style and simple and primitive furnishings. After taking a look around, he suddenly fell silent, his heart full of doubts.

'Where am I?'

Just as he thought of this, there was another loud bang in his ears, pulling him back from his thoughts.

The phone exploded again? He immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

The wooden door was kicked open by someone and was still shaking violently. At the open door stood a burly figure in a gray Taoist robe.

As his sister's most loyal servant, Tang Hao's ability to read people's expressions had already reached perfection, and he immediately and accurately captured the fleeting look of surprise on the visitor's face.

But when he wanted to make a closer look, the other party had already regained his composure.

"Ha, you're not bad, kid! I thought you wouldn't make it. I came here early this morning to collect your body, but I didn't expect you to make it." The man said with a glint in his eyes, "Since you're fine, go have breakfast. You have to go to work later."

Without waiting for Tang Hao's response, the other party turned and left. Going to work? What kind of work?

Tang Hao frowned. This man spoke in a strange way and was dressed in a Taoist robe. He obviously knew him and it didn't seem like he had recognized the wrong person.

Could it be... that I traveled through time?
He was startled and quickly got out of bed with his weak body and went to the low cabinet beside him.

The bronze mirror on the cabinet suddenly reflected a young face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. It was a fair-skinned boy who looked 70% similar to him.

It really was a time travel. Tang Hao's heart was filled with shock. He forced himself to remain calm and looked away, his gaze falling to the side.

Next to the bronze mirror frame lay a plaque, which was neither made of gold nor wood, but was exquisitely crafted with two ancient characters on it.

The shape of the characters was very different from Chinese characters, but somehow, he recognized the two characters at a glance. It was his name [Tang Hao].

It was at this moment that Tang Hao realized belatedly that the man who had spoken to him earlier was not speaking Chinese.

At this point, he no longer had any doubts about the fact that he had traveled through time. He sighed and picked up the badge to look at it. There were two columns of text engraved on the back, "Qinghua Sect" on the right and "Miscellaneous Disciple" on the left. It was obviously an identity card or something like that.

Seeing the name [Qinghua Sect], Tang Hao suddenly understood: "Have we traveled to the game 'Endless Immortal Journey'?"

A hint of warmth rose in his heart, but it was followed by deep worry.

Cultivating immortals! Which boy doesn’t yearn for it? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many online novels with similar themes in the past.

But... the path to immortality is difficult and full of dangers. How can he, an ordinary person with the status of a menial disciple, survive in this world without the systems and plug-ins in novels?

Judging from what that person said just now, the original body just couldn't hold on.

"What a shame! I only saw an ad before, and didn't have time to check the game's official website for information or anything."

Just as he was sighing, a picture scroll suddenly unfolded before his eyes.

The picture unfolded, occupying Tang Hao's entire field of vision.

In a cramped and dark space, a bright light suddenly shone down, illuminating the surrounding dark blue "walls". Then, pieces of unknown ore fell in.

With a muffled thud, the light disappeared, and the temperature around it rose sharply.

The dark blue 'wall' gradually turned red. Through the gradually darkening red vision, Tang Hao saw that the minerals that fell under his feet were rapidly softening and melting into clumps of sticky liquid.

It was also at this time that he noticed a line of pure white text right above his field of vision: [Watch the video and receive a reward].

There is a gift bag-like pattern at the front of the font, and a digital disc that is jumping and counting down at the end of the font, both of which are monotonous white.

"Advertisement?" Tang Hao was dumbfounded, and then he was ecstatic.

I was just regretting not checking the game information and lamenting the lack of a system and cheat codes, and now the plug-ins are here!

Restraining his excitement, Tang Hao patiently watched the light and shadow in front of him.

The ore liquefied, merged, and was divided and shaped. Identity cards took shape. As the surrounding 'walls' lit up with array patterns, the arrays and runes were quickly engraved on the identity cards.

Finally, the scene changed, and Tang Hao saw that a finger was pointing at his forehead, and a drop of blood was taken from his eyebrow and injected into his identity card.

The picture disappeared at this point, and a constantly shaking red gift bag jumped out.

At the same time, a message flashed out.

"Watch 1/10 of the ad, +1 point"

"Reminder: Rewards can be withdrawn directly to the real world or deposited into the reward space."

"Note: The reward space can only store rewards earned."

Tang Hao quickly and carefully browsed the information, then clicked on the gift package with his mind.

At the same time, silently say in your mind: "Extract to reality."

His empty left hand immediately sank, and an identical identity card fell into it out of thin air.

Feeling the same material of the two signs and the faint connection between them and himself, Tang Hao's eyes blossomed with an unprecedented light.
