Weird, my gaming life

Tangxin Orphanage.

7 PM.

Lin Yuan's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened them.

The moment his consciousness returned, a bone-chilling cold invaded his limbs and bones.

He didn't even have time to think; his body's instincts beat his consciousness.

The Crimson Sun Cold Jade Boy Skill circulated spontaneously.

The next moment, a warm current flowed through my body, completely dispelling the chilling cold.

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, almost touching the tip of his nose.

"Little one, you're finally awake."

A hoarse, grinding sound rang in his ears.

"Uncle, we've been waiting for you for so long!"

Lin Yuan remained expressionless, his face devoid of any emotion.

Suddenly, his lips parted into a wide grin, revealing a radiant smile.

"Uncle, it's been a long time."

His voice was clear and innocent.

"I miss you so much!"

The man's smile froze on his face.

The twisted corners of his mouth remained still.

He had expected to see fear, to see screams.

But all he saw was a childlike smile, which was definitely not what he wanted.

A hint of confusion flashed in his cold eyes.

However, before he could think further...

A small hand was already covering his face.

A burst of intense heat suddenly rose from that tiny palm.

His wide-open mouth suddenly tightened, and the muscles in his face twitched violently from the intense pain.

The burning sensation seeped into his pale skin, reaching deep into his soul.

"Ah! What is this...?"

The man's voice was hoarse and filled with disbelief.

"How could you possibly hurt me!"

He is a monster, a creature that has risen from the dead.

He clearly remembered that the day he became a ghost, he understood the rules.

In this world, apart from his own kind, only those with special bloodlines could possibly harm him.

But the child in front of him was the prey he had been eyeing for years.

He patiently waited until the troublesome older brother left, eager to corrupt the child with the pure soul.

As a result, this pure soul brought him the heaviest harm.

The power of this flame was completely opposed to his.

It is rapidly dissolving the negative energy he has accumulated over the years.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Lin Yuan's voice was full of concern.

"Why are you crying so much? Are you too happy to see me?"

Using superhuman strength, Lin Yuan gripped the man's ugly face tightly with his five fingers and slowly sat up straight on the bed.

The man in his arms struggled painfully, but did not give up the idea of ​​devouring him.

With a "ripping" sound, his perfectly intact belly suddenly split open.

It was a bloody, mangled gash, a gaping maw that covered the entire abdomen.

Countless foul-smelling liquids dripped from it.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The monster let out a piercing, maniacal laugh.

"Little friend, although I don't know where your power comes from, you need to understand one thing!"

His voice was sharp and manic.

"A ghost can only be killed by a ghost!"

Before he could finish speaking, the enormous mouth that could almost swallow half of Lin Yuan's body suddenly bit down hard on his torso.

It was as if it wanted to devour him entirely and merge him into its own body.

The next moment, Lin Yuan's body burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The protective energy of the Boy's Skill instantly expanded, forming an indestructible golden barrier.

The barrier blocked the enormous mouth full of fangs.

The sharp teeth collided with the golden light, producing a piercing friction sound.

The monster's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

It heard a soft laugh.

"Yeah?"

Lin Yuan's voice gradually turned cold.

"But I don't believe it!"

After saying that, he focused all his energy on circulating his internal energy.

The immense internal energy transformed into a surging warm current, flowing through numerous meridians and ultimately converging in his right palm.

A crimson flame, even more intense and dazzling than before, suddenly erupted!

The crimson flames touched the monster's body as if a spark had ignited gasoline.

In an instant, flames engulfed his entire body.

The sizzling sound of burning was incessant, accompanied by desperate and piercing screams.

The monster, consumed by endless fear, was reduced to charred remains.

The black ash slowly drifted away.

Lin Yuan looked at the empty room; the familiar figure had vanished.

He let out a long breath.

The corners of her mouth turned up, a sign of unprecedented relaxation.

"It's nothing special!"

Just then, a blurry figure flashed past Lin Yuan's eyes and quickly disappeared.

It was so fast that Lin Yuan thought it was an illusion.

But Lin Yuan was certain that it was not an illusion.

Because in that instant, he saw the game panel that was all too familiar to him.

At the same time, a line of information clearly appeared in my mind.

"Source Points +1, can be used to increase game time or directly upgrade skills! Can be used in the game!"

This sudden information froze Lin Yuan in his tracks.

His breathing also paused for a moment.

In all these years, apart from the game world in his dreams, he had never seen this panel in reality.

In the real world, apart from the abilities he brought back from the game, he is just an ordinary person.

If each upgrade wasn't so realistic, he might even doubt whether he was using a cheat.

The game panel that had just flashed made a guess suddenly form in Lin Yuan's mind.

In reality, cheat codes... need to be activated by slaying monsters?

Once the thought arose, it was unstoppable, and the fear of the past quickly faded away.

Instead, there was an unprecedented excitement, an irrepressible thrill.

If only we could cheat in real life...

Lin Yuan clenched his fist.

Then everything will be different.

Bringing his thoughts back, Lin Yuan finally noticed his surroundings.

The sky outside the window was already dark, indicating that he had slept for a long time.

However, not a single person returned to the room where the five people lived.

That's a bit strange.

Lin Yuan cleaned up the ashes on the ground and quietly walked towards the door.

The door was pulled open a crack.

In the corridor, the dim streetlights flickered on and off.

The entire orphanage was deathly silent; the daytime hustle and bustle had vanished without a trace.

"Did they all go to dinner?"

Lin Yuan pondered to himself.

Now that he is highly skilled and daring, he is no longer afraid to go out in the dark.

Deep down, there was even a faint glimmer of expectation.

He strode out of the room.

We walked through the corridor to the playground where the orphans played during the day.

Looking around, the entire hospital area was pitch black.

Apart from the occasional flickering streetlights in the corridor, only one building in the distance still emitted a single ray of light.

Lin Yuan didn't think much of it.

Perhaps it's because the orphanage wants to save electricity, but electricity in the downtown area has always been very expensive.

He strode toward the light, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan stood in front of the lit-up building.

He stopped in his tracks.

Despite the warm lighting in the room, he felt a chill creep up his spine.

Lin Yuan slowed his breathing slightly, and his true energy circulated within his body.

His figure flickered and disappeared through the doorway in an instant.

Once inside, Lin Yuan realized that the place resembled a prayer room.

Through the somewhat blurry window, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of many children's heads.

Without pausing for a moment, he moved again, silently sliding to the base of a wall stained with blue paint.

He crouched down, and the wall perfectly concealed his figure.

"Good children, it's time for evening prayers."

A familiar and kind voice rang out.

"Now, the headmistress is going to teach you a lesson."

"That is, none of the children in our Tangxin Orphanage can laugh. Do you know why?"

Lin Yuan, standing in the corner, frowned deeply.

No laughing? What kind of ridiculous rule is that?!

He suddenly remembered that when he first entered the orphanage, he hadn't noticed any children smiling.

He originally thought that life here was too hard and the children had nothing to be happy about.

But now that I think about it, that's completely wrong.

Children's happiness is simple, and the fact that no one in the entire orphanage laughs is quite strange in itself.

Lin Yuan calmed down and continued listening.

"Mom, I know! I know!" a clear child's voice rang out.

"If we're too happy and have too much fun, those rich people won't take us in!"

"Hehe, as expected of Jingjing, the smartest girl in our Tangxin Orphanage, she knew the answer right away!"

"hey-hey!"

The innocent girl suddenly smiled mischievously, with a hint of pride in having received praise.

"Director, Jingjing smiled!"

Suddenly, another girl's sharp voice rang out, her tone filled with obvious jealousy.

A little boy immediately shouted in defense, "Su Xiaoxiao, are you crazy?! There's no one else around, what's wrong with Jingjing smiling!"

"Yeah! Su Xiaoxiao, I think you're just jealous that our Jingjing got praised by the headmistress!" Another little boy chimed in in a low voice, suppressing a hint of anger.

"What right do you have to talk about me like that!"

The girl's voice carried a hint of grievance.

"Then why did I get beaten up by the headmistress for laughing earlier?!"

"That's what you deserve, you ugly freak!"

The more Lin Yuan listened outside, the more he felt something was wrong. What kind of development was this?

"Alright, kids, stop arguing."

The dean's voice rang out again.

"Jingjing, she's someone all of you must protect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan heard footsteps.

"Su Xiaoxiao," the dean's voice suddenly changed, all previous kindness vanished, replaced by harshness, "Are you very unhappy with how I treated Jingjing!"

"No...no, Headmistress!"

The girl, who had been jealous, suddenly began to tremble.

"Hmph! I bet you are. I must not have taught you a lesson enough before!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a girl's heart-wrenching cries suddenly echoed through the room.

"Ah! Waaah! Headmistress, you pinched me so hard! I'll never be jealous of Jingjing again!"

The little girl's heart-wrenching cries grew even more distressing.

From the sound, Lin Yuan could clearly tell that the dean had hit her hard; otherwise, the little girl wouldn't have been crying so badly.

This made Lin Yuan gasp.

What kind of orphanage is this?

Why is the dean targeting one girl so much, and why is he so biased towards the other?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt that he should no longer hide it.

The girl's cries grew increasingly hoarse.

If this continues, Lin Yuan doesn't know if the girl named Xiaoxiao will faint from the pain.
