Chapter 1
The woman coaxed her son and daughter to sleep, quietly left the bedroom, closed the door, and turned to see the man still playing the game. "Rongzhou, I'm telling you, both kids are asleep. My best friend and I are going shopping. You stay home and watch over the kids. Don't let them fall out of bed. Do you hear me?"
While Rong Zhou was controlling the game character and pulling the boss around, he answered his wife's question: "Got it. Don't worry, we'll finish this dungeon soon."
The woman, who had tidied her appearance and was about to go out, brought a gust of fragrance and kissed him lightly on the face: "Take good care of the child at home. If Xiaobao wakes up and cries, call me." His wife was still worried about him taking care of the child.
"Got it. Go out without worry. I'll call you if I really can't handle it." Rong Zhou operated the keyboard skillfully, and the game character jumped back to avoid the boss's ultimate move.
Seeing the red lipstick on her husband's face, the woman said, "Ah, my lipstick." She stood up and hurried away from him, hurriedly putting on some makeup: "I'm leaving."
Rong Zhou didn't even have time to say goodbye before the door closed and he could hear his wife's high heels clacking away. Since having the child, his wife has rarely been out and about. Even though he helps with the childcare, he can't replace her in many ways. Today was a rare day for his wife, as she left the child at home and went shopping with her bestie.
His private chat DingTalk kept ringing during the game.
Ding! Deng Chenchen: "Master, this is the small account I created. Please accept me as your disciple."
Ding! Deng Chenchen: "This time it's a shota. I've wanted to play a shota character for a long time. The shota poses of other professions are too ugly, but the poses of Yantianzong are quite straight."
Ding! Deng Chenchen: "Oh, you're in the dungeon, no wonder you didn't reply. When you're done, take me in as your disciple."
Judging from the tone of voice, even if it was the first time we had a private chat, I could guess who it was. It was his apprentice whom I had known in the game for three years. He was a crazy low-level player and a terrible idiot.
There was no time to reply to him now, so we focused our attention back on the Boss. After a while, with the efforts of 25 people, the Boss was finally defeated.
The boss fell down and sent a message to Deng Chenchen to become his disciple.
Ding! Deng Chenchen: "OK, Master, you continue working. I'll go level up."
Rong Zhou didn't reply, and there was no need for a reply based on their tacit understanding.
Rong Zhou didn't have any demand for equipment, so he just waited for the leader to finish auctioning off the equipment and divide up his salary. He said to the leader via voicemail, "It's okay, I'm leaving."
"No, no, no, we need another car, but we can't do without you to pull the monsters." The team leader was a chatterbox and spoke very fast.
"I don't have a tank anymore." (T is the tank that pulls monsters in the game)
The team leader said: "I remember there is a healer on your account. You know, it is the hardest to team up with a tank and a healer. Fight, fight, it will be quick and we will be done in a short while."
Rong Zhou thought about it and realized that the child had just fallen asleep, so it would take at least an hour or two. If no one made a mistake, it would only take 40 minutes to get a taxi. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed: "You should gather people and hurry up. I have something to do here."
"Okay, okay, it will be quick, please bring up the flower milk first."
"Yeah." Rong Zhou clicked on the character to exit. In the system scrolling picture, Rong Zhou got up and went to the bedroom to check on the children. Both children were sleeping very soundly. The half-year-old Xiaobao and the two-year-old Dabao were leaning against each other, sleeping like little pigs.
He opened the bedroom door and went back to sit in front of the computer so that he could see the situation in the bedroom when he turned around. The character selection was already on the computer display interface, but the game character had not been refreshed yet. He didn't have the patience to wait for it to refresh, so he quickly double-clicked the character name. He should have entered the interface with the picture loading bar, but the screen suddenly went black.
Rong Zhou frowned. If he had known earlier, he should have clicked once to let the game react, and then clicked a second time to enter the game. Now the screen is just black. If he had known earlier that this game was rubbish, who would have known that this computer worth tens of thousands of dollars couldn't even run it.
Looking at the black screen, he wondered whether to wait for the game to respond on its own or just shut down and restart.
Then he heard a strange noise coming from the mainframe case, and the display screen began to show some spotted ripples. He had a bad feeling, so he looked down at the mainframe case and found popping and flashing lightning. This was water cooling, was this a joke?
Then there was a burning smell, and the crackling sound became louder. The situation was not good. He stood up and wanted to turn off the main power switch, but he heard a bang, a small explosion.
He didn't care about anything else and rushed into the bedroom with the intention of carrying the two children out. However, just as he held the children, he heard a loud bang and there was a real explosion with great power. He held the two children tightly in his arms, and then nothing happened.
………………………………
Rong Zhou didn't know how long he had been standing here. In front of him was endless darkness, with no distinction between heaven and earth. Behind him was the bright silence with birds singing and flowers blooming. It was both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was that all the things were built and placed by him bit by bit. What was unfamiliar was that he had never been there in person.
Now it cannot be said that it was a personal experience. His body was shattered in the explosion. It was said to be a dimensional explosion. He was accidentally injured. As compensation, his body was rebuilt. The one who caused the explosion was a fool. He couldn't distinguish between the real world and the game world. He copied the things in the computer, but found that he lacked energy halfway through the copy, so he hurriedly helped him build a body, and then dissipated due to insufficient energy after leaving the instruction manual.
Rong Zhou was filled with frustration and had no place to vent. He still hadn't recovered after so many days. What comforted him was that his two children were still by his side. He looked at the two transparent balls in his hands, where two souls were sleeping.
"I've been waiting for a long time. Is there really the dimensional rift you mentioned?" Rong Zhou looked at the void darkness, not knowing when the day he was waiting would come. The two children couldn't continue sleeping like this. Even if the speed was very slow, their souls were slowly fading away.
"Master, as long as you have a strong desire, a dimensional crack will appear under certain opportunities, so please wait patiently." The [Instruction Manual], disguised as the butler Wen Ci Qiu, answered in a serious tone.
There are several butler appearances to choose from. I didn't choose Loli Shota because he looked like a child laborer. I didn't choose Wen Zhezhi because he looks like a woman, and if his wife knew that he had been alone with a woman for such a long time, she would expose him.
Although it is just a piece of data, it does not have a bad impact. After all, the current situation looks like a single man and a single woman. In order to make his wife feel at ease, a good man will definitely choose Wen Ciqiu, who has a male appearance.
"Can we go back to Earth? I want to see my wife. She's going to cry."
"It's a matter of probability. As long as you don't enter another dimension, you'll be like a boat docked at a harbor. You can leave at any time when the next dimensional rift appears. Even if the chance is very small, there's still a chance you can connect to Earth. As long as you've entered a dimensional rift once, you have coordinates, so you can determine your location more quickly even if the time is wrong. If you leave here and enter another dimension, this place will merge with that world, and you'll never be able to leave that world again."
It means that even though the chance is slim, there is still hope. Rong Zhou gently stroked the two beads in his hand and asked, "When will my child wake up?"
"As long as there is energy other than your own, it can be cut from your body like a knife, and become the body of the young lady and young master. When the body was built for the master, the four bodies were thought to be yours and were built together. You only need to cut out two, so it doesn't require much energy. The one that requires a lot of energy is each dimensional jump. If there is not enough energy, the jump cannot be carried out."
Rong Zhou held his forehead with a headache, and seeing the long hair passing through his fingertips, his head hurt even more. This body was the body of the game character he was about to log in. The profession was Wanhua Chengnan. It not only came with all the skills of this profession, but also came with another character. Wanhua was the real body, and the remaining characters were more like avatars. After research, they could be switched. It felt like wearing a thick puppet costume and was very uncomfortable.
The other three characters on this account were a Mingjiao adult, his main character he often used for dungeons, and a Changge character named Qinluo, a lesser-used character he used as a storage keeper. There was also a Tiance character named Zhengtai, who had been created in some unknown corner. If it weren't for this accident, he wouldn't have known that he had created this character on this account in another server.
It cannot be said that these compensations were not thoughtful. He brought all the things from his home in the game, and all the items were displayed together. The problem was that something was wrong. He didn't need these things. He just needed him and his two children to live again on Earth. Even if all the things were gone, he and his wife could start over, instead of wandering in the dimensional gap like this. No matter how many things he had, it was not his home.
He just wanted to take his two children back to his wife. He could imagine that his wife, who was shopping outside, would definitely collapse after receiving the news of their death.
He was now devastated, holding the soul balls of his two children, feeling extremely heartbroken. He didn't know if the two children felt any pain when the explosion happened. Facing the sudden disaster, as a father, he was too powerless, stroking the two small beads in his hands.
It's too boring in the dimensional rift. I have nothing to do but study the things that form physical objects. That thing is indeed very powerful. It has its own circulation system formed by exhausting all its energy. It is constantly absorbing the free bodies around it. This home, including myself, is in this energy cycle and operates with myself as the core, or in other words, it operates with my soul as the core.
But there is no way back and no other side in front. It feels like being imprisoned in this dimensional rift, and the longer the time, the more unbearable it becomes.
The glowing ball in his hand is the strength that keeps him going in this darkness. For the sake of his child, he can wait, waiting for a crack leading to another world, where he has the energy he needs, and if he is lucky, he can return to Earth.
For his wife, he will work hard to raise his children and bring them home safely.
