A Chance Encounter

Ten years. He had gone back ten years in time. How many times had Lu Yang dreamed that he could live again and change all these tragedies? Now, it had really come true.

In his previous life, he had lost because of misplacing trust. Lu Yang had also clearly seen who had saved him when he was in the most dangerous situation and those who had hit him when he was down.

"Liu Jie, thank you for giving me everything. You're the one who made me recognize who's my friend and who's my enemy. Since I've been reborn, I'd like to see if your family's financial resources are stronger or if my ten years' worth of knowledge from rebirth is more powerful." Lu Yang's eyes revealed not only hatred but also excitement.

The hatred in his previous life was not resolved with that shot. If not for Liu Jie, he would not have lost his family and lover, nor would he have suffered so much. Since he had been reborn in this life, the first person Lu Yang would take out was Liu Jie and his family.

As for how to take revenge, Lu Yang looked at the calendar.

Lu Yang neither knew the lottery numbers nor did he know the development trend of real society in the next ten years. However, Lu Yang knew one thing. Today, Second World would undergo beta testing.

Virtual gaming had been popular since 2010, but no one knew that in 30 years, virtual gaming would develop into a behemoth with more than 3 billion people online at the same time. This included online shopping, virtual teaching, gaming wars, film production, and so on.me time, including online shopping, virtual teaching, gaming wars, film production, and so on.

Countless financial groups took a fancy to the business opportunities and entered the gaming trade. It was precisely because of the investments of these financial groups that the ratio of virtual currencies to real currencies in the game was extremely high. Virtual equipment was also sold for millions. Coupled with the high rewards offered in gaming tournaments, the income of a top player in the game far exceeded the income of celebrities in reality. The income of professional studios even exceeded that of some large companies.

In his previous life, Lu Yang wanted to enter the gaming trade as soon as possible, but he was unwilling to spend money to buy an expensive helmet. It was not until half a month after school started that he started playing the game under the introduction of his friend and became a member of Frost Studio's gold farming team.

Recalling his experiences in the Frost Studio in his previous life, a smile appeared on Lu Yang's face. He still had a little sister there. However, in this life, Lu Yang could not enter the Frost Studio again.

Compared to others, Lu Yang had a full ten years of gaming experience. His mind was filled with countless money-making techniques, dungeon strategies, bug loopholes, superior combat awareness, and unparalleled combat techniques.

In this life, Lu Yang had to rely on these things to quickly establish his prestige in the game and earn enough money to build the world's number one guild. Moreover, Lu Yang had to find those friends who had never left him in his bad times.

"Brothers, I'll repay the kindness that I couldn't repay in my previous life. Dad, Mom, I won't disappoint you this time," Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said.

If he wanted to play Second World, he had to buy an exclusive gaming helmet. Lu Yang remembered that at this time, his parents had followed the engineering team to a remote mountainside to build a railway. They would only be back in three months. Lu Yang was the only one at home. His parents had left him 5,000 in the drawer for his living expenses.

Lu Yang took the money and walked towards the school. In order to let gamers buy helmets, the game company spread the sales points of helmets all over the world. They were also sold near the school.

Instinctively, Lu Yang arrived at the main entrance of the school. There was a huge beige school gate with the words Dong Du University written on it.

This school carried all of Lu Yang's beautiful memories of his university days. In his memory, he had met that girl here in his previous life.

He remembered that at that time, the girl was so radiant. She had just entered her first year of university and had become the goddess of the entire school with just a half-body photo. So many people had pursued her, but she had never been moved. Instead, she had always secretly told him about her troubles.

"I wonder where that girl is now. She should have already entered the dormitory," Lu Yang muttered to himself.

In ten years, Lu Yang had changed from a big boy in an ivory tower to a tough man who knew the secular world. He had changed. What he needed to do now was to make this girl not change and not be contaminated by the secular world.

Sometimes, fate worked in mysterious ways. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the shop and was about to enter, a girl in traditional Chinese clothes suddenly walked past him while tapping her head.

"Sigh! How do I get back to the dormitory? I forgot again." The sweet voice that he would never forget suddenly sounded in his ears. Lu Yang was stunned. He turned around and saw that the person who passed by him was the girl he could never forget, Shen Mengyao.

Shen Mengyao was still as beautiful as ever. She had a pair of big eyes that were clear and undefiled without any impurities. Her hair was as smooth as a waterfall and she was about 1.68 meters tall. She was dressed in a lovely white traditional Chinese dress, which made her look extremely beautiful.

Lu Yang looked at Shen Mengyao with reddened eyes. In the last five years of his previous life, he didn't know what tears were anymore. He didn't expect them to come again.

Lu Yang said to Shen Mengyao, "Do you want to go back to the dormitory?"

Shen Mengyao raised her head and looked at Lu Yang. Her confused eyes were filled with surprise. She could tell that the boy in front of her was about the same age as her. She asked, "Are you from this school too?"

"Yeah." Lu Yang nodded.

"That's great. Do you know how to get to the girls' dormitory? I forgot the way." Shen Mengyao playfully stuck out her tongue. Her eyes were still as adorable as ever.

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh. In his previous life, Shen Mengyao was a directionally challenged person. He said, "Walk to the right at the first fork, right at the second fork, left at the third fork, and right at the fourth fork. Go around the school's cafeteria and then walk past the library. Go to the right and then left."

Lu Yang asked, "Do you remember?"

Shen Mengyao's face was filled with confusion. "It's so complicated. It's so hard to remember."

"I knew you wouldn't remember. I'll take you there. Follow me," Lu Yang said jokingly.

"Thank you." Shen Mengyao followed Lu Yang into the school and did not notice Lu Yang's wicked expression at all.

It was midsummer in August and the trees in the school were very lush. The 10-meter-tall banyan tree blocked all the view from above. Lu Yang and Shen Mengyao walked along the road like they were passing through a maze.

"Are you homesick? It's your first time traveling like me, right?" Shen Mengyao pointed at her eyes cutely, indicating that there were still tears at the corners of Lu Yang's eyes.

Lu Yang had mixed feelings in his heart, but his face was burning red. He did not expect the first time they met after his rebirth to be like this. He wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "No, I was just blinded by the sand."

"Oh, I see." Shen Mengyao's cheeky face was full of disbelief.

Lu Yang covered his forehead and smiled helplessly. This girl was still as mischievous as in his previous life.
