Nine o'clock in the evening.
Qinzhou Art College.
He held the back of his head with his hands, lying on the lawn next to the school playground, looking at the stars.
The starry sky above his head seemed to be no different from that on Earth, but even though he could not find the North Star, he knew that this was not Earth, but a parallel universe called Blue Star.
"Lin Yuan, a sophomore in the Composition Department at Qinzhou Art College."
This is his new identity after traveling through time.
He inherited everything from the original owner, especially his good looks, but he couldn't remember what his name was in his previous life, nor did he remember the reason for his travel through time. He only remembered that he seemed to be a very handsome and famous person in his previous life
So he can take it for granted that he is:
"Lin Yuan".
Scanned the original owner's memory.
As expected, Lin Yuan discovered that the historical trajectory of this world was completely different from that of his previous life.
History took a divergent path from the Qin Dynasty. Fusu inherited Ying Zheng's career and led the Qin cavalry to sweep across the world. This series of operations directly made the East dominate the world until it was replaced by the more powerful Xia Kingdom a hundred years ago.
Global unification.
The world is divided into eight continents.
Lin Yuan's place of residence is called Qinzhou.
On this planet that has completely bid farewell to war, art has become the common pursuit of the people. The cultural atmosphere here is extremely strong, and every art-related field such as film, television, music, painting, literature, calligraphy, etc. is prosperous like never before.
"The Republic."
This is how Lin Yuan described it.
Especially for those working in the arts.
However, no matter how utopian an ideal country is, misfortunes can still happen. This was the case with the original owner that Lin Yuan traveled through—
He has a terminal illness.
That’s right, it’s a term that appears very frequently in TV dramas, and every time it appears, it’s always accompanied by a lot of drama:
"Terminal illness."
This is what Lin Yuan discovered in his memory after traveling through time. He actually inherited a body that was about to die. The doctor had sentenced the original owner to death a long time ago:
"The child will not live past twenty-five."
This was a pain that the original owner could not bear, so he chose to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills. This was also the reason why Lin Yuan was able to become the new owner of this body. The 19-year-old original owner gave up his remaining life.
Because of fear of death
So you choose death
Lin Yuan originally thought that this was the reason why the original owner chose to commit suicide, until he read the original owner's memory more deeply, and realized that things were more complicated than he imagined:
The original owner was from a single-parent family.
His father died of illness very early.
It was his mother who raised him alone.
The original owner had been weak and sickly since childhood, and would often have a fever and fall into a coma. In order to treat the illness, he had to be hospitalized every few days, and the huge expenses were all borne by his mother alone.
Some of the money was borrowed.
Some of the money was earned by my mother.
In order to raise him, his mother had to endure countless hardships, not to mention that the original owner also had an older sister and a younger sister—
My elder sister and younger sister are both very sensible.
Although they didn't have a good life because of the original owner.
In order to earn money to support the family as soon as possible, my sister gave up the opportunity to pursue a master's degree.
In order to reduce the burden on the family, the younger sister started wearing her older sister's hand-me-down clothes since she was a child.
The final straw that broke the camel's back was...
The original owner lost the qualifications to pursue his dreams.
He was originally a student of vocal music. He was born with a powerful singing voice and was undoubtedly the best in his major. His dream was to become a singer.
But when he was a freshman, his illness recurred, and the direct consequence of this recurrence was:
The original owner could no longer sing.
His throat was burned out and he could no longer bear the continuous high-intensity vocal training, let alone the high notes he was proud of.
In desperation.
He transferred to the composition department, where he wasn't so good.
And in his sophomore year, he chose to commit suicide.
It's not just because his dream suffered a blow, but also because he doesn't want to drag his family down anymore. Once the countdown of life starts, every minute and every second is torture.
Digest these memories.
Lin Yuan, who traveled through time, could fully understand the original owner's decision. He could not stand on the moral high ground and accuse the original owner of being too cowardly.
All I can say is…
Everyone has his or her own misfortunes, but some people's misfortunes are more unbearable than those of ordinary people.
This is similar to what Buddha said, "Life is born to suffer."
But Lin Yuan would not choose to commit suicide.
Even though the body he inherited was still one that would hardly survive past the age of twenty-five, there were still at least a few more years to live in... right
Copy some songs.
Copy some books.
Moving culture.
Make some money for the family.
Yes, it is difficult for Lin Yuan to change his fate of terminal illness, but in the short time left, he may be able to change the fate of his family.
Such thoughts are urgent.
Lin Yuan couldn't tell whether this was the original owner's will or his own wish.
Perhaps what he inherited was not just the original owner's memory, but also all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, connected to that mysterious bloodline.
Lin Yuan did not resist this feeling.
But when Lin Yuan tried to recall some literary and artistic works from his previous life, he was shocked to find that he could not remember them clearly, as if his memory was separated by a layer of thin air.
Then what is the meaning of my traveling here
Lin Yuan asked himself this question.
Then, in his mind, an answer that was not really an answer sounded: Blood test in progress... Gene test in progress... Iris test in progress... Matching degree 99.36%... Meets the criteria... Database selection... Solar system Earth... System is being bound...
system
Lin Yuan understood.
Although the details in his memory were vague, he still had some impression of it from reading some online articles about systems in his previous life. He knew that this was a golden finger, and this was also the meaning of his time travel.
No more random thoughts.
He waited quietly for the system to be installed.
Not long after, the mechanical sound of electricity rang in his mind again: Loading successfully, the literary and artistic system binding is complete!
"Hello."
Lin Yuan took the initiative to say hello.
Hello, host, congratulations on binding to the art system. This system will do its best to help you become an artist on Blue Star. You can communicate with the system through your brain. The host information will be displayed to you in text form below.
The mechanical sound paused.
Transparent subtitles appeared in front of Lin Yuan's eyes.
Age: 19
Lifespan: 22
Painting: 45
Literature: 105
Music: 1038
Overall: 1188
Others: Waiting to be opened
Note: In addition to age and lifespan, the values of each category represent reputation, that is, the host's recognition from the outside world and the industry in this field. Theoretically, there is no upper limit. The higher the reputation value, the more benefits the host will get...
Life expectancy is… 22
The system seemed to know what Lin Yuan was thinking.
Another line of subtitles appeared: Twenty-five is the maximum age the host can theoretically live to. Taking into account the actual situation, the host can live to twenty-two at most, and will be completely paralyzed at the age of twenty-one.
"Can it be cured?"
Lin Yuan asked himself.
System: When the host's reputation reaches the system's reputation standard, the host will receive treatment from the system. After several rounds of treatment, the host can reach the recovery level. Every time the host reaches a certain reputation value, the system will prompt the host...
It means it can be cured.
Lin Yuan asked skillfully: "Where is the novice gift pack?"
Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan was too skilled that the system could not keep up with his pace. It was silent for a few seconds before responding: The novice gift package has been sent to the host's backend warehouse.
"Enter the warehouse."
As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he saw a virtual interface similar to a game backpack appear in front of him. In the first grid, there was a small audio file.
Song: "Live Like a Summer Flower".
The newbie gift package only has one song
Could you please remove the word "big"
While Lin Yuan was complaining in his heart, he listened to the song again. As soon as the prelude sounded, he was sure that this was the piece he remembered.
In fact.
The moment he clicked on the song, the memory of the song from his previous life suddenly flooded into his mind. Before that, he could not remember the tune and lyrics of the song at all.
Lin Yuan roughly knew the workings of the system.
The so-called reputation points mentioned above are probably things like releasing songs by yourself and then gaining enough recognition. When this recognition reaches a certain level, you can treat your illness and don’t have to die early...
It's a perfunctory setting.
The system seemed to be dissatisfied with Lin Yuan's complaints, and promptly added a setting: while the host gains reputation points, he can also get a chance to draw a lottery, with a very high chance of winning.
"oh."
Lin Yuan's reaction was calm.
He was thinking about the song.
His vocal cords were damaged. Although the song "Born Like Summer Flowers" did not require a high vocal range, according to the doctor's advice, Lin Yuan had better not sing.
But this does not pose a problem for Lin Yuan.
If you can't sing it yourself, you can sing it for others.
As long as he could gain fame, it was fine. Although it was logical that singers were more likely to become famous, Lin Yuan did not like being famous, and even hated being famous.
He didn't know why either.
Maybe it was influenced by the past life
Although Lin Yuan could not remember clearly about his past life, he could vaguely feel that he must have been quite powerful in his past life, and perhaps even achieved certain accomplishments.
This song is also very interesting.
At least it is very suitable for the original owner's situation.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly became curious: "System, I traveled to this world, so did my previous life disappear directly on Earth?"
System: Life Swap
The system has figured out Lin Yuan's routine. This person has a very strong ability to understand and accept things. He likes things to be simple and direct, so there is no need to explain too much. Therefore, the system also began to speak briefly.
"Life swap?"
Lin Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and then he showed a gentle smile. The feeling of having someone live for him was actually not bad.
I'm single anyway.
Maybe many things are unclear, but Lin Yuan can roughly outline the vague contours of those memories from his previous life.
Not good, not bad either.
In fact, no matter how bad life is, it is better than life entering a countdown. I hope you, a stranger, can also have a system, instead of living like a summer flower again.
At least, we still exist.
