Game Ring

"....Handsome." I thought as I looked at my reflection in the mirror as I was changing my clothes and getting ready for college.

Zhang ye wasn't supposed to be handsome he was an average-looking person. So why do I look like this?

My face was the same as it used to be. Is this an AU that would make sense but what doesn't make sense is why am I here and how the fuck did I reach here. This seriously isn't a super realistic lucid dream right.

Courtesy to my Lovely(Violent) mother I have learned this truth 5 times this morning as she would hit me on my head with the ladle every time I asked. I rubbed my head as I felt a little bump on my head.

'Seriously where did my calm and collected mother go?' I thought but the soft smile on my face couldn't be hidden as I was able to see her again. If this is a dream I don't want to wake up from it, maybe this is the reason that I accepted this so readily because I could live with my mother again.

I looked in the mirror to see myself with blue eyes, short black hair with bangs on each side framing my handsome face and I was already 6 feet in height.

'So I basically have what Zhang ye lacked in the novel. Not to sound narcissistic but I am pretty handsome, ya know.' I thought as I wore a purple shirt as I folded the sleeves on my forearm with black pants and went out to wear black sneakers after wearing a silver watch.

Both mom and dad have gone to work. Both of their names have changed. My mother's name is Zhang Cao-ming and Dad's name is Zhang Sun-Yu.

But my mother looks the same as she did before, I'll just put it out there that I got my looks from my mother I didn't inherit anything from my father in the looks department.

Well, enough of that the world is the same as I read in the novel with all the famous works missing and they have been replaced by some others but many works that left a great impression are still there and they are all Chinese works.

All the foreign works have been literally wiped out. I seriously never understood how there are so many nationalists in china. When all the Chinese people I have met in my previous life were very open-minded people and I have never come across any 'CHINA NUMBA 1' person in my life and I have met a lot of Chinese people.

That jargon is found in pretty much every Chinese novel you can find. There are seriously very few Chinese novels in which the main character doesn't have the racist and China NUMBA 1 Pole so up their ass that it comes out of their mouth every damn time they say something.

And seriously many enjoy watching such MCS go on a rampage and basically looking down on other countries. (Fun Fact) But I remember The irregular in magic high school getting so much hate in china because in the novel the people from Kunlunfang institute that was in Quanzhou whose scientists kidnapped young girls to experiment on and rape them.

Even though the country wasn't even named or associated with china in any way but it was still trashed a lot in china that it was basically boycotted by even Chinese fanfic writers in fear that their novel will be trashed by low reviews.

Well, enough of the rant. It is normal to be proud of the country you live in but that doesn't give you the right to denounce someone else's home country.

I shook my head as I stepped out of the house and locked the door. I had my bag on my shoulders then after checking the lock one last time I went towards the bus station that is outside the neighborhood.

'Man I have to go to college again.' I grumbled as I reached the bus stop and waited for five minutes.

The bus arrived and I boarded it.

I was standing as I looked outside the window and saw the lively streets of Beijing. It would take 20 minutes to reach the Communication University of China(CUC) also known as Media college so I was looking outside absentmindedly as then I remembered about the ring and then looked around to see if there are any seats empty.

I saw that the whole back row was empty.

'Then have I been standing like an idiot here,' I shook my head and went towards the back seat.

I sat down on the window seat and thought about the interface opening.

And a Virtual screen opened in front of him.

[Reputation] : 101,000

[Items]: None

[Merchant Shop]: not unlocked

[Lottery]: Obtain a treasure chest prize

(NOTE: the increment of reputation is linked to the player's fame, exposure, trust, and other related factors. The items in the merchant shop and lottery can be bought by the reputation points. Reputation Is the total reputation gained by the player since birth till today)

So I have 100,000 points at the moment huh.

What should I do? There are many useful items in the lottery and I am currently a broadcasting major student. This is a mess I was a director in my past life but I did drop out of the media school because of financial problems.

"Damn it why am I even thinking about something useless, I'll become the best fucking director wait I did that no the best celebrity there ever was," I muttered to myself as I did guts pose earning the weird stare of the person who was sitting on the back seat.

I smiled at him like I did nothing wrong.

'Should I roll the lottery?' I thought as I looked at the interface in front of me.

[Lottery]: Requires 100,000 Reputation points. Upon purchasing, the game will randomly choose a treasure chest.

Hmm, so I can only draw it once it makes me a bit hesitant, but whatever I'll do it.

After confirming his selection on the prompted display, 100,000 points were spent and his Reputation immediately became 1,000. The Lottery interface flashed and a virtual wheel appeared. There was a needle and a button. On the wheel were the words, "Consumption Category", "Stats Category", "Skills Category" and "Special Category". Each category had a respective color and its own region. The four regions were different in size. The Consumption Category took up a large portion of the wheel – nearly half of it. Next up were the Stats and Skills Categories. Together, they took up nearly the other half of the wheel. The smallest region was the Special Category. It only took up a tiny region and was nearly invisible.

A game screen introduction appeared!

Category Explanation:

[Consumption Category]: One-time use disposable consumable item.

[Stats Category]: Permanently increasing a stat.

[Skills Category]: Skill's experience item.

[Special Category]: Adds the purchasing privilege of buying a certain Merchant item.

Note: The treasure chest from the item category where the pointer stably stops will be the item that will be obtained.

I could only begin the lottery. Ba Da! The Lottery began. The needle on the wheel kept moving as the wheel rotated clockwise extremely fast. After a few seconds, the needle slowed down and finally landed on the smallest area on the wheel, the Special Category.

The Lottery was completed!

'HOH, I got a special category on the first try am I lucky, or is it the zhang ye was just unlucky'

Special Category awarded: Opening the Merchant Shop, adding the right to purchase the item, "Memory Search Capsule".

After that, the virtual game's interface for the Merchant Shop opened. When I clicked it open, there was an item inside.

Memory Search Capsule: Effective upon consuming it. Helps the player search a memory or subconscious memory and permanently reinforces it. Lasts for five minutes. Costs 100,000 Reputation points.

Well, the item is surely helpful. I will need it because I can't remember everything that I had read or seen in my life.

'Well, I don't have enough points to use it now. How can I earn points while also going to uni. Maybe I should write some novels first to earn reputations and money as well. If an author can write a masterpiece they sure get paid a lot, and I have many novels and anime in my head.' I thought of which novels to write.

I looked outside and saw that I reached the CUC so I stepped out of the bus as it came to a stop at the bus stop.

"I'll think about it later when I go home now I have to focus on this. I seriously want to drop out but…." I shook my head walked through the main gate under the stares of the girls.

What can I say I am handsome.
