Zhou Yi was born in Bailu District 6, southeast of the Alliance in 2196 AD. It has been 8 years since Bailu District was designated as a civilian area in regional division. Zhou Yi, who has breathed the old air of Bailu District since childhood, often wandered by the Red Leaf Bridge when he was young. Standing at the only exit of this Bailu District, looking at the commercial streets and wealthy areas in the distance, full of longing for material and a better life. There are many children with him, at least things that look beautiful are always longing for.

In the summer of 2215 AD, Zhou Yi bid farewell to Bailu District with 200 yuan, crossed the Red Leaf Bridge, and stood on the street of the commercial area. The commercial street of Maple Leaf District made him blinded and lingered. Then, Zhou Yi worked in a game studio run by an acquaintance, and originally made a living at will. But when he entered this virtual world developed by the Alliance government, he discovered for the first time how beautiful the ancient world was. The beautiful scenery made him understand how much the alliance's virtual development project needed, and also made him understand why so many young people who came out of Bailu District would devote themselves to this virtual industry without hesitation.

On the other side, it is the name of this virtual project, a virtual game that combines ancient historical figures and various novels of gods, demons and monsters.

In the days that followed, Zhou Yi continued to work hard in this huge virtual world and followed the studio's stumble forward. He finally realized how to make money. His continuous progress also made him famous from childhood to becoming famous.

He did not do well. After understanding the entire operational method, he built a studio team with the accumulated connections and funds. He had a fixed and low income. He also had various large resources in "Other Side" and his own strength soared. In the martial arts practice of entering the world, Zhou Yi was the third player to reach the realm of "Sanctuary of the Physical Body". Speaking of his experience in the game, he stayed at the Taishan Emperor Temple, and was under the Erlang Shen Sect of Guanjiangkou. He also served as a thirsty member of the Heavenly Court. Finally, he became a disciple of the Emperor Qinghua of Dongji and took the priesthood of the Heavenly Court. With the eight or nine mysterious skills and the Heavenly Thunder Dharma, he was also considered a stolen person. Even if the strongest people were to move him, he had to think carefully.

What success brings is the expansion of ambitions. Maybe Zhou Yi is too confident. He never feels that he is worse than those with outstanding family status. This year his plan is to open a new role of Qi Refiner and pursue a beautiful woman in the upper class. However, when he really started to pursue a lady with a prominent family, he actually competed with the young master of the Red Leaf Consortium in the city. After six months of vigorous development, the plan for the new role of Qi Refiner was long gone and worked hard to build a large virtual

The industry was also dragged down, the studio was forced to disband, and the most trusted assistant turned against him at the most critical moment. If this was the price of growth, Zhou Yi really couldn't afford it. He could afford to lose, but he could not face the young people who came to join him from Bailu District. There would always be a final blow in the face of the downs and downs. This is life. The storm center of the entire incident, that is, the lady who graduated from the philosophy department, calmly told him a truth that has not changed since ancient times after everything was over: a match between the two.

These four words are enough to illustrate the facts.

One afternoon, Zhou Yi spoke with a few friends who were quite good at playing the game and found a suitable new studio for more than a dozen newcomers who were determined to leave behind. Then he calmly watched the machine workers move the entire floor and followed the last virtual game warehouse to move out and block a taxi.

"Sir, where are you going?"

The smart driver asked politely.

“Bai Lu Zone 6.”

Zhou Yi replied expressionlessly, and he had already gotten into the car while he was speaking.

"Sorry, sir, the taxis in this area do not have navigation maps for Bailu District."

The robot still answered politely, Zhou Yi shook his head and said calmly: "I know your car here will not go to Bailu District. Just take me across the Red Leaf Bridge..."

"Please fasten your seat belt..."

As the taxi started, Zhou Yi leaned limply on the back seat and took out some information from his bag to check. What caught his eye was his last game information:

Character name: Zhou Yi

Realm of practice: Level 311 [Saint of the flesh]

Camp: Martial arts practitioners [Entering the World]

Taoist Master: Taiyi Tianzun Dongji Qinghua Emperor

Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Perfectly Transformed Heavenly Lord

Guanzhou Guanjiangkou Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun

Practice: "Eight and Nine Profound Kung Fu", "Taiyi Saves the Heavenly Lord of the Defeat Blood Lake Treasure Repentance", "The Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Clear Great Brahma Purple Wei Lidu Thunder Jade Sutra"

...

The taxi drove onto the Red Leaf Bridge. Speaking of which, this bridge connecting the rich and poor districts was invested and built by the Red Leaf Consortium. Thinking of this, everything Zhou Yi used to have was given by the Red Leaf Consortium. He opened the window and threw out all the information he had with him. In this era of lack of resources and every inch of paper was valuable, snow-white falling pages drifted over the Red Leaf Bridge with the wind.

"Didn't you say that you gave me everything? Now that I am alone, I have nothing to lose and I don't owe you anything!"

Zhou Yi felt relieved and leaned against the back seat and laughed inexplicably, not caring at all, the driver of the intelligent machine made a sirens. As the next second the harsh sound of the tires always rubbed against the ground, the whole car hit the wall of the bridge and rolled down from the bridge...

Didi, Didi...

The sound became much smaller, as if the alarm was ringing. This familiar feeling made him stretch. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and looked back at the digital alarm clock on the bedside table.

2213 A.D., August 29 at 11:30 am

Zhou Yi touched his face, and felt like a different life was indescribable. When he thought about it carefully, his life experience seemed like a dream in an instant, but this dream might not be too clear, right? He recalled carefully, but his mind was as confused as a mud. He clearly remembered that he fell into the river with a taxi. He still remembered everything that day clearly. The date was October 14, 2223 AD. Why did he retreat ten years later?

The messy room, the cactus on the windowsill, the old desk, the thrown clothes, the dumbbells visiting under the table, and the vague smell of stale coming in outside the window, everything made him feel familiar. Zhou Yi put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. The narrow living room was cleaned up, the bathroom window was wide open, and the mop was placed on it. In the kitchen, my mother buried her head in cutting vegetables. When she heard the movement in the living room, she said without looking back:

"I will know how to sleep in one day, and I will sleep until 12 o'clock with my butt sticking out! Look at Xue Mei's son, you will know that you will work and make money before you are older..."

When I got up, I heard my mother chattering. Looking at my mother's busy back, Zhou Yi felt an indescribable kindness, and a guilt of leaving home for many years was filled with his heart. After so long, my mother asked him to take the money from the living room table and ask him to come back with a bottle of jealousy.

His eyes swept over the change on the table, and the memory that seemed like a long time ago opened. He suddenly remembered that there was indeed one time when he played all night until three or four o'clock in the evening, and he booked an alarm clock of 11 and a half in the morning. After getting up, he was scolded by his mother. His father did not come back from teaching in the middle school in District 12. He was sent by his mother to get jealous. There were many details in life, and there were always scenes that were not very important, stored in the album of memory and evoked when memory overlapped with reality.

“Those experiences are true…”

When he changed his shoes and went out, Zhou Yi walked at the intersection of the street, smelling the familiar smell in the air, the gloomy sky, the garbage everywhere on the street, and the stone brick road below his feet. Everything seemed like a dream.

This kind of homecoming feeling is not wrong. Zhou Yi walked on the narrow street, watching the uncles and sister-in-law walking by his side, greeting him one by one. The scattered time and similar scenes made him feel mixed emotions.

This is different from the backward area on the other side of the Red Leaf Bridge. It is difficult to find a green belt in the entire Bailu area. In the modern era of material shortage, all natural resources seem to be extravagant. The environment in Bailu area is extremely poor. Zhou Yi walked casually with a cloth bag in his hand, looking around everywhere. Even if it is dirty and messy, he would not let go of any place. Every place he wandered around when he was a child is full of childhood memories, which now seems very precious.

That dream is real. Zhou Yi has returned to ten years ago. Now he will make a choice, or he will still be on the road now. During this period, two years may be spent, crossing the Red Leaf Bridge to explore the outside world, or returning home like that dream, staying in this place where he gave birth to him.

The so-called choice is no longer a problem in his current opinion. As he took a casual walk, he could already see the Red Leaf Bridge within his eyes. He stood on the streets of District 1. The gloomy sky and the dirty streets did not affect his mood and his choice.

It is still necessary to work hard, and every young man has to work hard. However, if he is working hard in the virtual industry that he is most familiar with, what is the problem if he can pass this Red Leaf Bridge?

He always wanted to be a Qi Refiner, but because of the storm, he got rid of everything. Now he can finally continue according to his original plan and stay in the Bailu District. What's wrong with it?

The fishy smell of the river water came from the dock in Area 1. Zhou Yi looked at the other end of the bridge from a distance, and the other side that was completely different from the gloomy sky. The tall buildings bathed in the indifferent sunlight emitted a faint glow, and the flowers and willows looming on the riverside were extremely beautiful.

No matter how beautiful the scene is, Zhou Yi is no longer concerned. He has realized that his "other shore" is not on that other shore, but at his feet, the plan for the role of a Qi Refiner had been planned half a year ago. If it is implemented now, it will not be a problem to work hard in the world with his ability.

Zhou Yi stood by the river and looked back at the entire barren Bailu area. He couldn't help but feel sighing: The Red Leaf Bridge is the road to the outside world after all. If I have the strength, what should I do if I change the entire Bailu area?

He has already celebrated his 17th birthday now. According to the law of the alliance, he is already an adult, and it is time to take responsibility.

As far as the eyes reached, it fell on the storefront of a small supermarket. A huge poster was posted on it. The poster was covered with mountains, seas, and a sword light escaped into the sea of ​​clouds. It was the world created by the Alliance Virtual Project, a magical world full of ancient legends. A few big words above the poster came into Zhou Yi's eyes. It was "Other Side - The Record of Abnormal Experiences in the Nine Provinces".

"The Legend of Jiuzhou? It's 2213 now. If you remember correctly, the test of the other side world has ended. It has just been in operation, but the name of the first chapter... shouldn't it be called "The Legend of the Gods and Demons"..."
Chapter completed!
