Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 4 Different Worlds.

Now that the rebirth is real, there are many more things to confirm.

First, is this still the same world? If so, does he still exist ten years ago? If he does... Ling Chuan dares not think about what comes next, because just realizing it has already made his thoughts complicated and his mood depressed.

Second, does he still carry FNC syndrome? Generally speaking, his soul consciousness occupies this body. Unless the original owner, Ling Chuan, also suffered from FNC, he should have overcome the disease by now. However, FNC falls under the category of brainwaves, and whether brainwaves are directly related to the soul is unknown, so it cannot be confirmed for the time being. However, this question is simple; the answer can be obtained by entering the holographic realm once.

Third, what should be done next?

With the memories of the next ten years and a focus on the holographic online game industry, he could acquire honor and wealth in countless ways if he wanted to. However, if it were only for wealth, this rebirth would lose its meaning. After all, in his previous life, he had never experienced any material hardship. Just as he told Mo Ran, the money he earned was enough for him to squander for several lifetimes...

Mo Ran...

The thought of that name caused Ling Chuan a pang of pain in his heart. The image of that panicked face was still vivid in his mind—a regret he could never forget…

? !
Wait! Didn't I get reborn? Then what about the regrets of my previous life...?

Just as I was getting excited, a chill seeped into my heart, and the first question resurfaced.

"Kacha."

While they were still hesitating, the door reopened, and a nurse entered, followed by Ling Feixue and Yi Han.

"Ling Chuan." The nurse confirmed the name.

Ling Chuan snapped out of his daze and nodded in acknowledgment.

The nurse took out the IV fluids and replaced them, unplugging the unnecessary equipment. She said, "Now that he's awake, he can't stay lying down any longer. His family should encourage him to get up and walk around more; it will help him recover."

Ling Feixue readily agreed, while Yi Han asked, "Shall we start today? Shouldn't he rest for a couple more days? He still looks very weak."

The nurse glanced at Yi Han and said, "It's because you're weak that you need to start exercising. If you have enough willpower, you can be discharged in a week, understand?"

Yi Han pecked at the rice like a chick, "I understand, I understand, the nurse is right."

"That's good. Pay close attention to the patient's emotions and try to avoid any major fluctuations for now."

"Ok."

Ten minutes later, the nurse left. With the protective support and earnest encouragement of Ling Feixue and Yi Han, Ling Chuan endured his weakness and dizziness and walked back and forth along the bed several times.

"Good, good. Let's do it again this afternoon and try to get discharged as soon as possible."

Ling Chuan, barely clinging to life, didn't even bother to speak and simply fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Ling Feixue and Yi Han, who were chatting about the fun of the game, had already turned their fiery gazes toward him.

"Awake? If you're awake, walk around a bit."

"I……"

And so, under the strong encouragement of his sister and brother-in-law, Lingchuan completely bid farewell to his distracting thoughts, because apart from enduring dizziness and weakness, all he could miss was his bed.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye. It has to be said that having someone to supervise makes a difference. Five days ago, he even had difficulty getting out of bed, but now he can complete all his daily activities independently.

That day, Ling Feixue had to go home, leaving Yi Han to keep her company.

Yi Han was a chatterbox, constantly rambling on about popular anime and ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) topics. Ling Chuan knew this was the original owner's favorite thing to do. Yes, the otaku lifestyle he couldn't experience in his previous life had become a reality in this one. Under his sister's meticulous care, the original Ling Chuan, while not rebellious or extreme, had become very introverted. He preferred staying home to participating in social activities, spending his time watching anime and movies, and collecting limited-edition figurines. Watching Yi Han talk so eloquently, it wasn't hard to imagine how much effort he had secretly put into catering to and taking care of his troublesome brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law."

"Have!!"

"..."

Ling Chuan was ashamed. From that day on, those two words were like a key to a new world. Whenever he called them, no matter what Yi Han was doing or saying, he would stop without hesitation and wait quietly for the command.

Ling Chuan sighed inwardly, then adjusted his expression and said in an extremely expectant tone, "Tell me about the game."

Yi Han was taken aback, and quickly reached out to cover Ling Chuan's forehead, asking in confusion, "Strange, he doesn't have a fever, what's going on?"

Ling Chuan slapped Yi Han's hand away and said sternly, "I'm serious. I used to be afraid of communicating because I always thought outsiders harbored malice. Only my sister and my inner world could give me comfort, so I was unwilling to interact with the world or use various social media platforms. After experiencing this crisis, I've figured out many things, and what made me understand these things was my sister and brother-in-law's meticulous care. So I feel that I can't let you keep giving on one hand, and I must make a change too."

When it comes to emotional manipulation, he's a master. Besides, after his rebirth, he can't keep pretending to be the original owner forever. First, it's too difficult, and second, it's too tiring. Rather than explaining his abnormal behavior later, it's better to take this opportunity to directly declare his determination to change. He can then do things different from the original owner later, so that they can accept it.

"Woooo..."

Yi Han, tears streaming down his face, wiped away his snot bubbles and patted Ling Chuan's shoulder. "It was worth it! Hearing Xiao Chuan say those words made everything worthwhile! Come on, what do you want to hear? Your brother-in-law will tell you."

Ling Chuan stared wide-eyed at his hand covered in snot bubbles, barely suppressing the urge to chop it off, and said with a twitch of his lips, "The history of game development in recent years."

Upon hearing this, Yi Han suddenly became serious. After confirming that Ling Chuan was not joking, he began to give a detailed account.

At first, Ling Chuan was a little absent-minded, but as he heard the rest, he suddenly frowned, because from the beginning of "League of Legends" to the entire process of "Sanctuary III", the Chonghuang Club had never appeared once. Instead, a name he had never heard of before was NetEase Cloud.

"Brother-in-law."

Suppressing his panicked emotions, Ling Chuan asked, unwilling to give up, "Is there a sports club called Chonghuang?"

"Ok?"

Yi Han frowned. "What is that? There is a place called Emperor Studio, but Emperor Club... I've never heard of it."

"hiss!"

Taking a sharp breath, Ling Chuan said anxiously, "Brother-in-law, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Although Yi Han was puzzled, he still consciously took out his Huawei T series phone.

Ling Chuan took the phone and quickly dialed a number—his father's number from his previous life.

"The number you dialed is not in service. Please check and dial again."

"Sorry! The number you..."

The number is invalid! It's an invalid number!

Without pausing, Lingchuan dialed his mother's number again.

"The number you dialed is not in service. Please check and dial again."

"Sorry! The number you dialed does not exist, please check it and dial later."

"The number you dialed is not in service, please..."

At this moment, Ling Chuan was at a loss. The number his parents used was a permanent purchase, and it would never be taken back from the moment they bought it. Even if they didn't use it, it would never show as an invalid number; it would only show as temporarily unavailable or in a suspended state.

His fingertips trembled, and Ling Chuan's breathing was heavy. "Xiao Chuan? Are you alright?"

Yi Han's heart tightened; Ling Chuan's appearance seemed off.

"I am fine."

With a forced smile, Ling Chuan calmed himself down and started dialing the number again, this time very slowly and carefully.

"beep------"

"beep------"

"Hello."

The call connected! But instead of a man's voice, a clear and melodious unfamiliar woman's voice came through.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Oh, sorry, I made a mistake."

Ling Chuan quickly hung up the phone, checked the number several times, and slumped onto the hospital bed after confirming that it was correct.

"Xiao Chuan?"

Ling Chuan looked up, handed his phone to Yi Han, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just suddenly feel a little weak and I'm a bit hungry. Brother-in-law, could you buy me something to eat?"

He found an excuse to send Yi Han away. He just wanted to be alone. As for the number, he didn't delete it. Two invalid numbers and a stranger's number were insignificant. Deleting it would only arouse suspicion.

Yi Han breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "You scared me to death! I thought something was wrong with your body again. I should call a doctor to come and take a look."

After saying that, he was about to press the call button when Ling Chuan quickly grabbed Yi Han and said seriously, "It's really okay, brother-in-law, believe me."

"Really?" Yi Han asked doubtfully.

"Really." Ling Chuan said firmly.

"Alright then, but you can't wander around anymore. Go lie down and if you feel unwell, press the call button to let the doctor know immediately. I'll go buy you some food and I'll be right back."

"Uh-huh!"

After giving some instructions and receiving repeated assurances from Ling Chuan, Yi Han quickly left.

The door closed, and Ling Chuan's expression gradually cooled, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

The Chonghuang Club did not appear, his parents' numbers were blank, and even his own number had changed hands. This world was probably not the original one, and he no longer had the original trajectory of ten years ago, or perhaps he did not exist at all.

Thinking of this, Ling Chuan felt somewhat relieved, at least the first problem he was worried about was resolved; but after the relief came a little loneliness, which came from his parents, from Chonghuang, and also from his boss who had been with him for ten years, the girl named Mo Ran.

……

In the underground parking garage, Yi Han sat quietly in his car, his expression somewhat complicated. In his hand, his phone remained on the third number Ling Chuan had dialed. He then took out another Huawei T from the inside pocket of his suit, waited for it to boot up, ignored the 999+ missed calls and text messages, and directly opened the contact labeled "sister." He compared the two numbers, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly dialed the number.

"elder brother?"

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end, Yi Han felt extremely apologetic, "Xiao Ran."

There was silence on the other end, and after a long while, someone sighed and said, "Brother, come home. After all these years, you still can't forgive Dad?"

"Of course not! I will never forget the things he said to Feixue behind my back. I will never go back unless he apologizes to Feixue in person."

"elder brother!"

"Stop talking. I'm calling you because I have something to ask you. I'll hang up after I ask."

On the other end of the phone, a woman stood against the wall by the window of the girls' dormitory. Her slender figure looked quite pretty in her pajamas. Her cheeks were puffed out, and her delicate features revealed a hint of annoyance, a hint of coquettishness, and a hint of helplessness. In the past, she would have hung up the phone long ago, but thinking that this was the first time her brother had contacted her in years, she felt a little reluctant.

"What's up?".

The cold tone made Yi Han subconsciously rub the tip of his nose. He had been a little agitated just now, so he comforted her, "Xiao Ran, don't be angry. I promise you, I'll come see you next time, okay?"

"Really?"

All her displeasure crumbled, and the woman burst into laughter. "Then I forgive you. Tell me, what is it?"

Yi Han let out a long breath and asked, "What were you doing on the 21st of last month?"

"On the 21st of last month... there was an event for Sacred III on the 21st of last month, of course I was participating in the event, why are you asking me that?"

Before long, the other side gave their answer.

Yi Han responded with an "Oh," trying to cover up his misunderstanding, saying, "It's nothing, I was just asking."

"Tch, you're kidding me. If you don't want to talk, fine."

"Haha, alright, I'm hanging up now, I have some things to do."

"Hey! You heartless bastard, you want to leave after using my sister? Tell me, when are you coming to see me?"

Yi Han said, "Uh... the end of the month, let's go with the end of the month, I should be free that day."

"What do you mean 'should'? I'll definitely have time!"

Yes! I'll definitely be free!

"correct."

"what?"

"Bring your sister-in-law along."

"Uh...you're not his informant, are you?"

"You're talking nonsense! Do you think I'm that kind of person? All these years! I've only ever heard her name! This time I'm going to see what kind of woman has my brother so infatuated with her looks like!"

"Alright! Then get ready to praise your brother's good taste."

"shameless!"

Beep——————

Bye.

Looking at his phone, Yi Han gave a wry smile, then breathed a sigh of relief. He put his phone away, started the car, and muttered, "Looks like I really dialed the wrong number. But can things really be this coincidental? Tsk, could this be the legendary fate? Haha, no doubt about it, it's definitely fate. Ah, I forgot to ask Xiao Chuan what he wanted to eat. Oh well, let's just do whatever we want."
