Chapter 2: In order to get me to willingly enter the game, they even sent the school beauty to keep
"this......"
The lecture hall was deathly silent.
Although the old professor put it very tactfully, using the phrase "free combination".
But everyone present was not a fool; they all understood the extremely cruel reality behind this absurd scene.
Lei Dong squinted, his gaze sweeping over the three rows of girls who were like a hundred flowers blooming in competition.
He saw the girl sitting in the middle of the first row.
That was Su Qinghan, the universally acknowledged beauty queen from humble beginnings at Jiang University.
She's an aloof beauty whose suitors stretch from the cafeteria to the school gate.
At this moment, she was wearing a thin white dress, her hands tightly twisting the hem of the dress, her eyes slightly red as she lowered her head.
Not only her, but almost all the girls present did not show any signs of being forced into humiliation.
Instead, it carries a suffocating sense of tragic grandeur and resolute determination.
The professor sighed, walked unsteadily to Lei Dong's side, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Lei Dong, you are the first and highest potential candidate among our school's batch of reserve soldiers to be marked by the system."
The military has reviewed your data; it's excellent.
The professor turned to the first row: "Qinghan, come here."
Su Qinghan stood up, took a deep breath, and walked with trembling steps to Lei Dong, as if she had used up all her strength.
She raised her head; her stunningly beautiful face was completely bloodless, but her eyes were unusually resolute.
"Lei Dong..."
I... I want to be your girlfriend.
The girl's voice wasn't loud, and it carried a slight, barely concealed tremor, yet it resonated exceptionally clearly in the empty lecture hall.
Lei Dong was stunned.
The benefits are really good.
The story begins with the official gift of a wife, and a top-tier school beauty at that—this is the kind of satisfying plot development that many male protagonists dream of.
But he couldn't laugh at all.
My chest felt like it had been stuffed with a waterlogged sponge, a suffocating feeling.
He looked around.
The other candidates who were with me would brag for half a month if they could get the WeChat of these class beauties and school beauties.
But now, they were all clenching their fists tightly, their eyes red.
He either gritted his teeth or turned his head away, unable to look the girls in the eye.
Because everyone knows the truth.
What kind of windfall is this?
This is basically Earth Online's "last meal" for this group of people!
In the previous national war, Yunxia deployed all its elite forces to resist the sneak attack from Black Tide Island.
Although it was a Pyrrhic victory, more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded.
Now, this group of reserves, who haven't even left the beginner village, are about to take over.
And what they will face.
These are seasoned elite players from America and Europe who have just received the system's "five extra help rewards" and are already armed to the teeth!
Given such a terrifying generational gap in combat power, what would be the survival rate?
Ten percent?
Or five percent?
The school, or rather the higher-ups at Yunxia, had already made the most pessimistic prediction about the survival rate of this batch of new recruits.
They created this so-called "free association" simply to leave an heir for these young heroes who were about to die!
These handsome men and beautiful women, gathered together, not only have high looks, but their genetic testing is also absolutely top-notch.
They all voluntarily signed the "Torch Protocol".
Even if Lei Dong dies in Earth Online tomorrow, as long as his bloodline remains.
Yunxia will devote all its resources to raising his posthumous child and provide the martyr's family with the highest level of protection.
"Thunderous..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Qinghan bit her pale lips.
She suddenly reached out her slender fingers and gently grasped Lei Dong's clothes, her voice carrying a hint of pleading:
"I really did it voluntarily."
The country nurtured me, but I lack combat talent and mental strength, so I can't enter the game...
This is the only thing I can do for Yunxia, and the only thing I can do for you.
The girl's tears finally fell in a steady stream, landing on the back of her hand.
"Please... let me leave you a bloodline."
Hearing the school beauty's almost humble plea and looking at her beautiful face, Lei Dong felt a mix of emotions.
Niang Xipi.
I am, after all, a transmigrator. Although I haven't awakened any overpowered system panel in the six months since I transmigrated, I am still destined to be a protagonist, right?
Why does it feel like we're going to the execution ground tomorrow and have to leave a seed tonight?
Lei Dong took a deep breath and grasped Su Qinghan's cold little hand in return.
"Qinghan, thank you!"
Although it was somewhat frustrating to be arranged like this.
But thinking about my two lifetimes, I never even touched a chubby little hand before.
Not to mention the school beauty-level woman in front of me.
What's that old saying again?
To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is a romantic endeavor.
"Alright, everyone, if you've chosen a partner, please head straight to the Shanghai Grand Hotel next to the school. The presidential suite has already been booked for you!"
Have to admit.
The school really went all out this time.
But don't think they did this out of a genuine sense of conscience.
This is actually a backup plan.
Based on extensive research conducted by scientists previously.
It has been discovered that the bloodlines of some people on Earth are linked to ancient civilizations!
The matches that Earth Online spontaneously selects seem to have no connection.
But it is precisely through this process that the most primitive bloodlines of humankind have been selected.
From a genetic perspective.
These descendants of ancient bloodlines are also worthy of close observation!
......
The luxury of the presidential suite did not make Lei Dong feel relaxed; instead, it felt like a huge, exquisitely decorated velvet cage.
A faint, peculiar fragrance, reminiscent of a blend of orchid and musk, filled the air.
This is clearly a specially blended "catalyst" that not only smells good, but also makes your fingertips feel slightly warm after a few inhalations.
The restlessness in my heart grew wildly like weeds.
Su Qinghan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, her hands awkwardly clasped together in front of her.
The usually aloof and cold campus belle of Jiangda University, who was like a flower on a high mountain and never gave any boy the time of day, was now a completely different person.
Even her fair neck was tinged with a captivating pink at that moment.
"Lei Dong..."
She bit her lower lip lightly, her voice barely audible, "Should we... take a shower first?"
"Just call me Lei Dong. At this point, adding 'classmate' makes it sound like we're defending a thesis in an exam room."
This is a very subtle change.
The girl's reserve and the man's so-called pretense of propriety completely crumbled at this moment.
Lei Dong never dreamed that he would agree to the girl in front of him so readily.
He walked into the misty bathroom.
The scene that followed is indescribable...
I don't know how much time has passed.
It felt like a dream, or like being carried out.
A familiar yet unfamiliar electronic voice suddenly rang in Lei Dong's ears!
[Ding! Congratulations! Dear player, you have become one of the second batch of observers of Yunxia and can now enter the game to experience it firsthand. Please be careful!]
