Chapter 1 Wang Xiaoming

In Dajing City, on the outskirts of the city, there is a mysterious park.

In the dormitory,
A plain-looking young man in a white coat was lying on the coffee table in the living room, concentrating on tinkering with a watch that had been disassembled into pieces.

dong dong!

There's a knock on the door!
"Come in!" Wang Xiaoming called the person outside the door in without looking up.

"Professor Wang, the things you asked me to collect have been sorted out."

The person who came in was also wearing a white coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a nervous look on his face.

Wang Xiaoming looked up at the bag in the hands of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. "Just put the things on the ground."

After saying that, Wang Xiaoming continued to indulge in disassembling the watch and stopped talking.

But before long, Wang Xiaoming discovered that the man with gold-rimmed glasses had not left yet, but was just standing aside.

He also showed a flattering smile the moment Wang Xiaoming turned his head.

Frowning, Wang Xiaoming suddenly remembered what happened this morning.

At that time, I had just awakened my wisdom, and in order to verify a hypothesis in my mind, I happened to see the mechanical watch with gold-rimmed glasses, so I asked for the watch from him. But now the watch has been dismembered into parts, and the experiment is not completed yet, so I cannot return it to him for the time being.

"I have requisitioned this watch. Tell me how much it is worth and I will give it to you now."

But the man with gold-rimmed glasses didn't want the money. Instead, he said with a smile on his face: "No, Professor Wang, it's just a watch, not worth mentioning. I just want to do an experiment with Professor Wang. Is that possible?"

After saying this, the man with gold-rimmed glasses moved forward, his eyes revealing longing.

"Okay, go prepare a resume first."

Hearing Gold-rimmed Glasses' request, Wang Xiaoming did not refuse. If it were normal times, Wang Xiaoming would definitely investigate him before deciding whether to accept him. However, he has more important things to do now, and compared to this matter, everything else is trivial.

After getting Wang Xiaoming's promise, the man with gold-rimmed glasses was so happy that he almost jumped up. After leaving the dormitory, he clenched his right fist and waved it vigorously to express his excitement.

Since being invited to this mysterious base, the man with gold-rimmed glasses has learned about the other side of the world - the supernatural!
From sneering to disbelief, then to trance and confusion, to finally lying down to accept and actively explore.

In this process, the worldview of Man with Gold-rimmed Glasses has been reshaped. He believes that he is now standing at the forefront of a new wave in the world, and only by immersing himself in this wave can he survive in the new world.

However, supernatural research is very dangerous, and not everyone is qualified to conduct experimental projects. As a newcomer, Gold-rimmed Glasses has no connections and can only do some errands, and has no access to important experiments at all.

If you want to get involved in supernatural experiments, you must join the professor's team, and Professor Wang Xiaoming's team is the best in the entire base.

In the dormitory, Wang Xiaoming did not take what happened just now to heart. He placed all the parts he disassembled from the watch on a piece of black paper one by one. When he counted them carefully, there were actually more than 500 pieces.

Except for the master watch repairman, I am afraid no one can put the watch back together.

If it were the old Wang Xiaoming, although his memory and hands-on ability were not bad, it would be impossible for him to put the watch back in its original state.

Because these parts are not only numerous, but also very small, many of them have only slight differences and can easily be made mistakes if you are not careful.

Closing his eyes, Wang Xiaoming seemed to see two virtual balls of light floating up and down in his sea of ​​consciousness. They each formed a different symbol, and just one glance at them made his mind full of mixed thoughts, as if someone was whispering in his ears.

Wang Xiaoming placed his target on the light ball of the gear symbol and infused his thoughts into it.

"puff!"

Along with a sound that sounded like an auditory hallucination, the light ball of the gear symbol burst like a punctured bubble, and countless azure light spots flew out from it, as brilliant and beautiful as fireworks.

Then Wang Xiaoming felt his body lighten, and his soul seemed to fly to the sky. He also heard whispers in his ears, which made him feel a pain as if his head was exploding.

But soon he felt that he had recovered, and some knowledge that did not belong to him appeared in his mind.

The most important of these is a special ability - awakening memory, which allows you to remember all the knowledge you have read.

Activate the ability you just got - awaken memory, and the memory of disassembling the watch just now is like a movie with the progress adjusted at will.

Let him browse at will, and soon these memories will be firmly memorized in his mind.

Then Wang Xiaoming looked at the table full of watch parts and began to assemble the watch. It only took him twenty seconds to go from being a little unfamiliar in the beginning to being as skilled as a master in the end.

In the process of assembling mechanical watches, he could feel familiar with these parts and gears. Although he had never come into contact with these things before, he had a feeling that as long as he gave himself time, he could become an experienced watch repairer.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Xiaoming smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the fully assembled mechanical watch in his hand.

It seems this is not a dream!

This is the ability of a Sequence Nine Generalist!

Wang Ming was an ordinary person in another world in his previous life. His usual entertainment was either reading novels or playing games. However, accidents happen all the time.

Just as he was crossing the road, a large truck came from nowhere and took him away.

Misfortune comes with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes.

Death is not the end. He was reincarnated into this world and this morning he awakened his memories of his past life, found himself, and lived a second life.

But unfortunately, the world he was reborn into was actually the famous fantasy novel from his previous life - Mysterious Resurrection.

Although it has the name of a fairy tale, it is not a fairy tale in reality. Until the end of the novel, there is not a single fairy cultivator.

Its true identity is actually a pure horror suspense novel.

The story is about the revival of supernatural power, the supernatural begins to invade the real world, strange events occur all over the world, and the protagonist Yang Jian controls the supernatural and struggles to survive in the world. Supernatural beings are the most special existence in this world. They are the carriers of rules and cannot be eliminated. They will also act according to their own rules, and then complete their own rules and become more powerful.

The most despairing thing is that all human weapons are unable to eliminate the supernatural. When facing the supernatural, people can only look for the laws of the supernatural, or become ghost riders who control supernatural powers in order to survive supernatural events.

A ghost rider is a human who accidentally gains control of supernatural powers that have not yet been revived and can use supernatural powers in a preliminary way.

But this is also the beginning of misfortune. The ghost rider cannot use supernatural powers at will, because with the use of supernatural powers, the ghost rider will face the danger of supernatural power revival. At that time, evil ghosts will be released and the situation will be out of control.

The reason why the supernatural is named ghost is just like the ancients could not understand wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and thought that they were the gods who were angry. Modern humans cannot use science to explain these supernatural things. They are like the gods in legends, with all kinds of incredible powers, but compared to the gods who represent justice, they are more like another existence - representing evil ghosts.

Therefore, for the convenience of recording, after consensus among countries around the world, the supernatural is forcibly named as - ghosts.

But don't think that you should look down on the supernatural things in this world because they are called ghosts, because the props that are said to be able to subdue evil ghosts, such as crosses, holy water, talismans, peach wood swords, etc., are ineffective against ghosts. And because ghosts are immortal, even ghost riders who can handle supernatural events cannot destroy a ghost. The most they can do is seal it with gold.

Gold is the only substance in the world that is not affected by supernatural powers. People can make gold into pockets and boxes to imprison and seal the spirits.

The tone of the whole book is horror and despair. Even in the later part of the novel, supernatural events continue to break out, and there is no safe place in the whole world.

Wang Ming's name in this world is Wang Xiaoming. In the book Mysterious Resurrection of the Previous Life, his popularity is second only to the protagonist Yang Jian. However, God is jealous of his talent, and he disappeared in the later part of the book.

But now it’s different. Wang Ming has the power to change the world—the way of God.

Wang Ming’s past life memories were awakened this morning. When he discovered that the world he was in was mysteriously revived, he was once in despair, not knowing how to break the future deadlock.

Just as he was thinking about the future, he sensed a space that was a wilderness, vast and boundless.

Only a tall black tower stands in the wilderness, looking very out of place.

Then a ray of bright starlight flew out from the high tower, turned into a meteor and fell into Wang Ming's brows, turned into two rune light balls, and information like a torrent surged into his heart.

Through this information, Wang Ming understood that humans have their limits. From today on, he will no longer be a human being. He will play a dual role in becoming a god.

It turned out that along with his rebirth came the Wilderness of Knowledge, as well as the magic potions needed for the two paths to godhood: Peeping Mysteries and Universal Insight.

He was very familiar with these, as they also came from a novel he loved very much in his previous life, Lord of Mysteries. In Lord of Mysteries, there were twenty-two paths to becoming a god, and one could become a god by following the corresponding path.

Later, the novel was adapted into a game, and he downloaded it to play it, but an accident happened and he was reincarnated.

However, he did not expect that the wilderness of knowledge that originally existed only in his imagination would come here with him.

The starlight that came down from the wilderness of knowledge was the magic potion for the Sequence Nine Mystics and the Universalist. It was directly integrated into his body, just waiting for him to activate it.

The ball of light that Wang Ming just punctured is the potion of the Sequence 9 Universalist. The Universalist potion can make him more proficient in aqua regia, nitroglycerin, and complex gear devices. Its core ability is to awaken his memory and remember all the knowledge he has read. At the same time, it can also improve his understanding and learning abilities.

He had just assembled a mechanical watch to test the authenticity of the potion.

Now he is already a Sequence Nine Extraordinary. Although he has not acquired any practical combat capabilities, as a researcher at the headquarters, he has no chance to take action at all. Compared with potions that enhance combat effectiveness, generalist potions are of greater help to him.

Wang Ming, no, his name is Wang Xiaoming now.

Wang Xiaoming casually put the watch into his pocket, cleaned the table, then picked up the things that Gold-rimmed Glasses had prepared for him and put them on the coffee table. These were some special items that he had asked Gold-rimmed Glasses to prepare, which were about another divine path - the Secret Peeping Man.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

Just as Wang Xiaoming was about to activate the Secret Peeping Potion, his stomach growled.

He was too excited this morning and didn't have breakfast and was busy until now. When he looked at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock. Wang Xiaoming was no longer in a hurry.

So I put down my things, left the dormitory and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat.

"Hello, Director Wang!"

"Hello, Professor Wang!"

On the way to the cafeteria, whenever they met someone, they would take the initiative to greet him. He also held the position of director of the research department in the experimental base, but he seldom took charge of anything.

"Professor Wang, are you here for dinner too?"

As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, Wang Xiaoming saw the man with gold-rimmed glasses from the morning greeting him warmly.

He understood the behavior of the gold-rimmed glasses. He had seen it a lot. It was just the flattery of the lower-ranking people to the higher-ranking ones. Without any nonsense, Wang Xiaoming asked directly:
"What is your name?"

"Zhao Guangxian." The man with gold-rimmed glasses followed closely behind Wang Xiaoming and answered excitedly.

"Is your resume ready?" Wang Xiaoming continued to ask.

"Okay, it's ready." Zhao Guangxian took out the resume from his briefcase and said, "Here you go, Professor."

Wang Xiaoming took the resume but did not check it. Instead, he nodded and said, "Report to Laboratory No. 3 at 2 pm."

After sending the man with gold-rimmed glasses away, Wang Xiaoming ordered four dishes and a soup, then went to an empty table and started eating.

This experimental base was built with government support and is focused on studying the supernatural. It is also one of the earliest laboratories established in the world, and a lot of precious information about the supernatural was developed here.

The infrastructure is very complete. The chefs in the canteen are all master chefs. The food they cook is very delicious. Wang Xiaoming enjoyed the meal very much.

On the one hand, I didn’t eat breakfast and was hungry.

On the other hand, the memories of two lives are combined. Now he is like a newborn. The food in front of him is both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He is obviously tired of the cafeteria meals, but now he feels like he hasn't eaten them for a long time.
