[Chapter 2]

Xie Mingzhe calmed down in the ward for one night and also sorted out all the memories of the original past.

The original owner grew up in an orphanage and was admitted to the Faculty of Fine Arts at Teito University because of his talent in painting. Tito University will officially open on 1 September, and today is 1 August, with one month left, he must be ready as soon as possible.

First of all, find a way to get out of the hospital. A "vegetable man" like him spends a lot of money every day lying in a intensive care unit. He has no family in the world, and he doesn't know who helped him pay for the medicine. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe was restless and hurried to step on his slippers to the doctor in charge.

At 8 a.m., the juvenile in Ward 7 suddenly pushed out the door.

Dr. Qin, who was checking the room, picked his eyebrows and looked at him with confusion: “Xie Mingzhe? What are you doing out here?” Normally, when a vegetable person wakes up, he will be very confused and will need a long time to accept the changes in the real world. The teenager is strange, without a trace of confusion and frustration on his face. He stepped on his slippers early in the morning and ran out with his feet naked and his face still glowing.

“Doctor, when can I be discharged, please?” Xie Mingzhe looks carefully at the doctor, "and how do I pay for my medicine? ”

“All your physical data is normal. Observe today for another day. If you have no problem, I'll get you discharged tomorrow.” Dr. Qin walked to him, his voice couldn't help but soften up against the clear and bright eyes of the teenager. "As for the cost of hospitalization, you don't have to worry about it. Because you have previously bought serious medical insurance, you can check with the insurance company when you are discharged. ”

“Thank you, Doctor.” Xie Mingzhe was relieved. He remembered that the orphanage had bought him health insurance when he graduated from high school, and since the insurance company would cover the cost of treatment, at least he would not have to carry a debt, which was good news for him.

Upon returning to the room, Xie Mingzhe began to organize his personal belongings. At the time, he went to an interview at a themed restaurant and accidentally fell off the third floor and was taken to the hospital by a crowd of spectators, so he didn't carry much on him - just his card, ID and smartphone in his pocket.

His photo is on his ID card and tied to his card, so don't worry about being stolen. This card, I remember, is the card of the ten-square-meter small room he temporarily rented in a cheap house. As for mobile phones, they are also the cheapest things to save money for, and there are few people with phone numbers because Xie Mingzhe doesn't have many friends in the world.

As a result, his personality changed, and his body changed its soul, and probably no one would notice.

Xie Mingzhe packed his things and came to the window in his patient clothes.

Outside the window, there are hundreds of skyscrapers, and there are seven or eight horizontally staggered suspended lanes in the sky. Various styles of suspension cars fly around in the sky. Xie Mingzhe opened his eyes and looked at the world curiously.

His intensive care unit is on the third floor, so he can clearly see downstairs.

A little girl walked downstairs with a particularly cute pet, an animal he'd never seen before, over a metre tall, walking and bouncing, long ears like... rabbits?

Is there such a big rabbit? Pink clothes are pretty cute. But shouldn't hospitals prohibit pets? What if a pet carries a lot of infectious pathogens and passes them on to the patient?

Xie Mingzhe was somewhat confused, and this problem, the memory of the original owner, could not be explained.

Just thinking, Dr. Qin pushed the door in. The middle-aged doctor had a good temper and a gentle tone. He was carefully examined with a therapeutic instrument. He said: "You have been lying in bed for two months and have been living on nutrient fluids. Your body muscles will shrink to a certain extent and you will lose a lot of weight. After discharge, you need to exercise harder before you can slowly recover. ”

Xie Mingzhe also knew that he was very thin now and that the bones on his body were clutching his hands. Half-dead lay in the ward for a month, and it was normal to lose a bone. He used to be in good shape and knew how to work out. I'm not worried about that.

Another little girl downstairs walked over with a pet rabbit just like that, a few centimeters taller than her. Xie Mingzhe finally couldn't bear the strong curiosity and asked, “Dr. Qin, what is the pet that the little girl is carrying? Is the hospital now allowed to bring pets?” This is something that cannot be explained in the original memory of living in this world, so it wouldn't be too strange to ask, Xie Mingzhe thought.

“It's a star card illusion.” Dr. Qin explained, "Hospitals do not allow pets in, we are not veterinarians. ”

“Star card illusion?” Xie Mingzhe looked at the question mark.

“Looks like you're not playing this game?” Dr. Qin is amused, "not many young people do not play this game. ”

“Cough, I really don't pay much attention to games.” Xie Mingzhe stretched out his hand and carried his back head, laughing a little embarrassed. Whoever calls him from a poor planet knows nothing about the prevalence trends in the Buddhist Empire. Must be dirt in the eyes of a doctor, huh?

Star card illusion? What the hell is that thing?

Xie Mingzhe secretly wrote down the word in his heart and intends to go back and do a good search.

After completing the examination, Dr. Qin ordered: "Your stomach is still weak. For the next three days, eat some liquid food first, then eat normally in three days, but don't eat anything too irritating. Remember that? ”

Xie Mingzhe nodded carefully: "Remember, thank you doctor. ”

As soon as the doctor turned around and left, Xie Mingzhe sat on the bed with his legs and took out his phone to retrieve the keyword "Star Card Fantasy”.

Soon a huge stream of information popped up, and the more Xie Mingzhe looked, the more shocked he was...

Turns out, these Star Card illusions all come from a game called Star Card Storm.

This is a global holographic card game online tour that has been in operation for 10 years now with over 3 billion users.

The official award-winning card league was launched 10 years ago, and since then, there have been many players in card competitions for a living, as well as formal card clubs.

As a familiar Star Network battle game, this game can steadily occupy the position of Jianghu boss for 10 years, and naturally has its advantages.

At the heart of the game are cards of all kinds, officially known as "Star Cards”.

Not only can star cards be used against each other on holographic networks, but there are plenty of fun pet cards that can be illusory in reality. For example, the most famous [Long-Eared Rabbit Star Card] can illuminate a lovely big rabbit, like a real rabbit in front of you.

As soon as the game comes out, the girls are going crazy. All kinds of pet cards such as Persian cats, teddy dogs, long-eared rabbits, etc., all over the world for a while, almost every girl has several pet star cards in her hand, she's free to summon up and make fun of herself - although it's just an illusion created by holographic projection, it doesn't really exist, but it can't stop them from being cute!

Many battle star cards have appeared, in addition to the fact that the popular pet star cards of the girls are almost out of stock.

Xie Mingzhe, by the way, swept the highly-rated battle card online. For example, the super-popular player Nie Yuandao's top battle star card [Flame Dragon], can summon a giant dragon with a total fire red, release “Flame Storm” to sweep around, and burn all the surrounding illusions to ashes; Tang Muzhou's [Millennium Divine Tree] is more exaggerated, can summon a divine tree that covers the sun directly, countless green vines spread quickly like tentacles, powerful enough to instantly strangle the surrounding phantom creatures.

As these top battle cards emerge, so do the leagues of the professional leagues.

After 10 years of development, today's alliances are very formal and the business model of the major clubs is very mature, with 100 million people participating in civil competitions, more than 30 per cent of the top official card leagues, and the income of the best players in professional leagues is far from reaching the average population.

Top players like Nie Yuandao and Tang Muzhou are said to earn hundreds of millions of dollars annually, making them even more fans than the top stars.

This reminds Xie Mingzhe of the global alliance of heroes, star rivalries and other video games of the Earth's era, which he has played in college, and how exaggerated he is in this day and age - Star Card Storm is almost a national game, with 80% of the people playing it.

This game is extremely free and all players can play original cards, such as the Fire Dragon and the Millennium Divine Tree, two of the top battle cards just seen, all originally created by professional players themselves. Networkers can, of course, create and cultivate unique cards of their own, which is one of the reasons why Star Card Storm has been in operation for 10 years.

Xie Mingzhe really admired the developer of this game after reading this information.

He was a science student in the twenty-first century, studying computer programming, when technology could not make games like this. Engineers today are really awesome, especially "Star Card Fantasy Projection Technology”, they can put cute Star Card creatures into the real world for entertainment. Xie Mingzhe just saw the pet that the little girl was carrying, almost thought it was true!

The biggest difference between real pets and star card pets, online says, is shadow and penetration.

The star card illusion has no shadow in the light, and people can go directly through the illusion, after all, it's just a high-tech visual effect, and it doesn't actually exist. So, just now, Dr. Qin immediately realized that it was a Star Card illusion - people in this world have long been used to all kinds of illusions, but Xie Mingzhe made a big fuss.

Xie Mingzhe also wanted to search more game information. At this point, a text message suddenly lit up on the phone: “Xie Mingzhe, this is the host Aunt Zhang, just checked the bill. Your rent for July has not been paid, 800 crystal coins, please pay it as soon as possible. ”

Xie Mingzhe was stunned. By the way, he came to the Emperor to find a temporary place to set foot, rent a house, and ended up lying in the hospital this month as a vegetable, and the rent didn't pay.

Xie Mingzhe immediately checked the balance of the card on his cell phone.

Central Bank: “Dear User, Your Account Balance is 1000 Crystals. ”

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

800 crystal coins to pay the rent, so he only has 200 left.

Judging by the memory of the original owner, the price of this world should be about the same as the RMB in 2018. How long can 200 yuan be spent?

How can a poor bastard like him live? You can't starve to death just because you're reborn!

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his temple headache and began to think about how he could survive in this strange world.
