1 Chapter 1 Reincarnation or Time Travel_1

Translator: 549690339

The morning sunbeams warmed Du You's face as he mumbled something incoherently. After a while, he squinted groggily. "It's a new day. Weird, I didn't hear my alarm."

Du You mumbled confusedly as he reached out for his phone on the side. He felt around with no success, then his eyes widened in surprise. "Where's my phone? Who stole my phone?"

Previously still lying on the bed, Du You suddenly jolted upright as though he had risen from the dead.

Nevertheless, as soon as he got up, Du You was taken aback. This wasn't his bed. Yes, he had a wooden bed at home, as did most people. But now he was lying on something different, a metal bunk bed. He hadn't slept in this kind of bunk bed for years.

He remembered sleeping in a bed like this while he was at school.

"Am I dreaming? This dream feels too real." Du You was flabbergasted. He touched his face, and yeah, he could feel it.

Still in his daze, Du You touched his arm, and it definitely had sensation - he could feel both heat and cold. Suddenly, he indiscriminately pinched himself: "Damn it, why did I pinch myself? It's turning blue; this isn't a dream."

Slow on the uptake, Du You eventually realized something was wrong.

He tumbled off the bed, landing with a "thud" - surprisingly good at judging the distance. In his haste, he didn't notice that his body felt much lighter than he had imagined.

He looked around: "Isn't this my dorm room? These scratches, the stains from a spirit lamp on this tea table…it's my original dorm. Did someone play a prank on me? Or did I get reincarnated?"

With those thoughts, Du You hurriedly bolted into the dormitory's bathroom, where there was a mirror.

"Hahaha, I did reincarnate! A beautiful life, here I come! Everything I once lost will return to me, I want to become a millionaire, I want to stand at the top of the world!"

Looking at the reflection in the mirror - a face several decades younger - wasn't it the exact face he had when he was in school?

"Hahaha, wasn't I pretty handsome when I was young?" Du You cradled his chin. "No, I need to calm down. I need to understand the current situation first and then make some plans. I cannot let anyone discover that I'm reincarnated; otherwise, it will be troublesome." Du You took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

He paced around the dormitory, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "How could I be so dumb? I have to remember some things. If I forget them after a long time, it won't be good. Yes, I have to write them down, write them down. Right, I'll use a code so others can't understand."

After a lot of rummaging, Du You finally came to his senses: "Really, I'm not calm at all. How could there be pens and papers in our dormitory? Aren't these things usually in the classroom?"

Everyone in the dormitory was the same as him - none of them were serious students. They were all there just to get their diplomas. How could there be stationary items in such a dormitory?

For a better future, he must remember the clear things in his mind as soon as possible. With this in mind, Du You didn't care about anything else anymore. He grabbed his wallet, ready to go to the convenience store to buy some paper and pens.

Having hastily found his wallet, Du You rushed towards the door. However, as soon as he reached the door of the dormitory, he was stunned. "What day is today? Has the school ever had such an event?"

Du You stood at the dormitory entrance, feeling as though a crow just flew over his head. This scene was too mind-blowing, wasn't it? Outside the dormitory, the layout was still the same as he remembered, but the people…why were they so weird?

If it weren't for the energy he felt surging in his body, confirming he wasn't being pranked, he would have thought someone was deliberately spending a lot of money to fool him. The man who had just walked past, he was what, an old man with a white beard. Do people still grow beards that long? That must be a meter long.

And what was that guy on the side doing, holding a sniper rifle, rapidly being dismantled into parts. What kind of toy gun was that? It looked very realistic. A street vendor was selling all kinds of firearms, and there were even people haggling over the price.

Is it really okay to sell toy guns in school? Isn't it illegal? And those bullets…

In front of the gate, a group of girls walked by. There was no problem with the girls, but what are they wearing? Magic girl costumes? Is this Cosplay? Since when do I have such an activity in my memory?

And that one who looked like an old farmer, carrying a large basket, what was in there? Traditional Chinese medicine? Was there a traditional Chinese medicine category in the school? Why were people gathering around asking for the price?

Last but not least, what was that thing flying in the sky? It was certainly not a hot air balloon anymore. It was an airship. Moreover, it was an armed one. Tell me, those weapons are also fake, aren't they?

"What's going on with me? Am I hallucinating? Why has the school become like this?"

Du You had a perplexed expression on his face. The world seemed to have changed. Could it be that he hadn't reincarnated, but time traveled instead?

"No, no, this must be fake. The school must be arranging some kind of event. It's impossible to be like this,"

Du You shook his head vigorously, finding it hard to grasp the situation. No, he must get a notebook first. With that thought, Du You forced himself to ignore everything around him and walked towards the convenience store he remembered.

"Good thing there hasn't been too much change here, I knew..." Seeing the convenience store he remembered, Du You finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, as soon as he walked in, he gasped again. Is this really a convenience store?

"Welcome, young man. What can I help you with? I have the most comprehensive Law Formalization Ceremony Guide here. This year is your last year, right? You can't go without this guide. I also have the best bulletproof vests and a variety of tools. These are standard items that won't cause rejection in the Derived World or cause trouble during your graduation…" Recommended them enthusiastically.

With the fervent recommendation from the convenience store auntie, Du You unwittingly bought a bunch of strange items. Although, these prices were overly cheap, but did he need those?

Standing outside the convenience store, Du You held the items in his hands and felt like crying but no tears came out. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing…?

Still in a daze and without a clue, Du You didn't come to his senses until he returned to the dormitory. "Wait, what happened? Why is everything different from what I thought?" Du You finally regained his ability to think.
