Li Zhan almost slammed the door and walked out. When the door and the door frame made a loud bang, Cheng Ran sat back in the chair. He patted the desk, which was covered with traces of time, and said softly.
"Well, let's fast forward to the part where you get admitted to No. 1 Middle School!"
No movement.
"Okay, take a step back and wake up..."
The sun was still shining on his face, and the trees outside the window were rustling in the wind. The weather was still hot, and the layers of piercing pain on his palms were radiating very clearly. Rumors about him were spreading among the grade at a very fast speed.
He didn't wake up.
But he suddenly woke up and realized a huge and absurd fact.
This is not a dream!
After a long while, Cheng Ran's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
I was reborn!
So, he returned to the classroom on the eve of his junior high school graduation... So, just now, he really exposed the bad behavior of Butcher Li to his face, and he was called "a vicious person". He even made a bet with him, and the bet was at the cost of his future. He had to pass the high school entrance examination and get a score of No. 1 Middle School!
It's a bit too bloody.
In another corner of the classroom, Zhang Xiaojia said to a pretty girl next to him, "Yang Xia, your childhood sweetheart is too worrying!"
Hearing what Zhang Xiaojia said, Yang Xia frowned slightly, "Please understand that we can't be called childhood sweethearts. Can you stop talking nonsense!"
Yang Xia is the undisputed beauty in class, and she grew up in the same compound as Cheng Ran and Yu Xiao.
She has always had some conflicts with Cheng Ran. She has seen how Cheng Ran has taken care of her over the years and even shown excessive concern for her.
To be fair, she didn't dislike Cheng Ran, and even had a good impression of him. But she was very dissatisfied with Cheng Ran's overly leisurely and easy-going mentality.
To put it bluntly, Cheng Ran was a man without great ambitions, muddleheaded and ignorant. But today, he actually confronted Butcher Li in person, and Yang Xia was stunned like the other students.
The key is that Yang Xia knows that his grades are terrible... Cheng Ran even dared to make a bet with Li the Butcher. The one who has the strength to rescue the princess and rush to the dragon is the knight, and the one who rides a skinny horse to challenge the windmill is the fool Don Quixote. It is important for people to know themselves. If a person does not even have this self-knowledge, and only cares about swelling up his face and pretending to be a hero to challenge the teacher, then he is really stupid.
Her opinion of him plummeted, and was even about to fall below the favorable impression she had built up over so many years.
Even... a little disappointed.
The episode passed quickly and the class returned to normal. No matter how turbulent and stormy the outside world was, Cheng Ran was only immersed in his own restless heart.
It's real! Everything is real!
If the reborn world is a world, then Cheng Ran, who has already "jumped out of the three realms", came to his senses after the brief conflict and fell into a deeper shock. He even ignored the earnest words of advice from his deskmate next to him.
Everyone has thought about how great it would be if they had a chance to live their life again.
Now that such a good thing has happened to him, Cheng Ran has only the kind of epiphany that comes with encountering a miracle, whether it is winning hundreds of millions in lottery tickets, or jumping off a cliff and picking up seventeen or eighteen peerless secret manuals, or opening the closet and finding a goddess hiding inside, well, what the hell is the latter... In short, all the luck in the world seems to be incomparable to this.
Just when Cheng Ran was thanking God, Allah, and all that alien technology, he suddenly saw a corner of the mock high school entrance examination paper sticking out of the book on the table.
The title read “Shanhai City Middle School Exam Mock Paper”.
Hmm? Cheng Ran scratched his temple.
"Shanhai City?"
Cheng Ran was confused by the name at first. In order to prepare for the high school entrance examination, the local education bureau would usually issue a unified test paper and invite some teachers to make mock exercises for the examination, and the test paper would be named after the local area.
This is not the point. The point is that Cheng Ran’s hometown is Qingshan City!
It’s definitely Qingshan City! I remember that after tourism was developed, the whole city put up banners saying “Qingshan City, a city you don’t want to leave once you come here!”
An ominous premonition began to envelop Cheng Ran, as if he had fallen into a deep sea with huge water pressure that closed his eyes and ears.
He pulled out the test paper and looked at it carefully, then took out his schoolbag from his drawer and carefully searched for more things. Whether it was the test paper issued by the school or the personal information filled in on the cover of the book, they were all "Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, Cheng Ran".
Shanhai City Shanhai City Shanhai City!
Cheng Ran searched around, like a bird with a malfunctioning pineal gland. He suddenly found himself lost in an unfamiliar place and frantically tried to find landmarks.
This is indeed a junior high school classroom.
However, what kind of monster is the "Shanhai City" that suddenly appeared
He looked out the window. This was the third floor. Outside the building was an old locust tree planted on the right side of the teaching building, which had accompanied them throughout the three years of junior high school. Some of the windows also had newspapers pasted on them by the students sitting by the windows to avoid being exposed to the sun.
On the red brick and white tile wall, it is written: "Be civilized, set a new trend, and pay attention to hygiene. Everyone has the responsibility."
There are no changes to the details.
Could it be that the entire school was moved by a great master? Or did he enter the main god space
That's not right. Looking outside the wall from here, there are indeed several residential buildings. The layout of those old buildings is the same as before, with no changes at all.
In the city further away, there should be the Sheraton Hotel, which was once the landmark of Qingshan City. At this time, it should have been built less than a year ago. It is the most high-end and luxurious hotel in Qingshan City. The people of Qingshan are proud of it. When it was completed, the media in the whole city reported it with great fanfare.
Found it, the hotel is there.
but
"Lucky Star!?"
Cheng Ran suddenly lost his voice. This episode caused the English teacher to pause for a moment. Then countless pairs of eyes looked at him again. Cheng Ran had become the giant panda of the class.
The English teacher showed a hint of dissatisfaction and continued teaching.
"What's wrong with you today... Are you sick..." Yu Xiao looked at him suspiciously.
"Why is that hotel... called Fuxing?"
"Isn't it the Fortune Hotel? Fortune Hotel Group, a Fortune 500 company, saw the opportunity of Shanhai City becoming a national tourist city and developed a hotel specifically for it... The founder of the hotel, Mr. Ernest Henderson, was born in Chestnut Hill, not far from Boston, USA, in 1887. He later established the Fortune Hotel brand and became the first chain hotel group to be listed on the New York County Stock Exchange in the United States in 1945. It has been glorious ever since..."
Yu Xiao introduced Cheng Ran in detail. In fact, these were all introductions from major media in the city after the opening of Fuxing Hotel. Many people were proud of knowing this hot information by heart.
Listening to this strange yet familiar introduction... From what Cheng Ran knew about the future, this was the real Sheraton Hotel! But what was going on...
Cheng Ran suddenly thought of something, as if he was struck by an electric current!
He vaguely remembered an autobiography he had read. The mother of Henderson, the founder of Sheraton Hotel, was of German descent. According to German custom, children born on Sundays are lucky stars. So Henderson was nicknamed "Lucky Star" when he was a child. If the name of the hotel he founded later did not start with "Sheraton", then the name of the Lucky Star Hotel would be immediately explainable!
After a moment of stagnation, Cheng Ran asked tentatively, "So... what is our country called?"
"The New Chinese Republic where the people are the masters!" Yu Xiao threw a history book at him and said in a stern voice, "It's time to take medicine!"
Cheng Ran was busy flipping through the history book. Although there was only one volume, it still made him feel very excited.
He originally thought that he would be reborn in the middle school of his original world. But now it seems that the world he once knew seemed to have shifted slightly at a certain point in history, resulting in different changes.
The history in the history books is roughly the same as the history he knew in his previous life. It is also a country that was founded by a country that was bullied. The general direction is the same, and Cheng Ran was not an expert in studying history in his previous life, so he could not tell many differences. But what he knew was that many names and laws that he was familiar with in his previous life have all changed... Well, the New People's Republic of China...
Those trees, those bricks and tiles, the crisscrossing city outlines and distant mountains, as well as the vaster things behind the mountains, everything seems similar but has long since deviated from the world that operates according to certain rules.
It also includes the city of Shanhai that is right in front of us.
There is a small problem. The new contract of Qidian is still on the way. It is temporarily impossible to enable rewards, recommendations, and collections! Thank you!
