Su Yu regained consciousness to find himself in an unfamiliar space.
Within the space, a faint blue luminescence flowed, resembling a boundless, endless passageway.
"Where is this?"
Su Yu frowned, though his emotions remained relatively stable.
He must have been unconscious, so now he was merely a consciousness.
But what exactly was this strange environment?
Why was he here?
"System!"
He tried to activate the system.
But there was no response.
Su Yu lifted his foot and walked towards the front of the passageway.
He kept walking.
He didn't know how long he had walked.
Finally, his vision blurred.
He arrived in a more spacious area.
The light within was brighter than in the passageway.
And opposite him stood a colossal mirror.
The mirror reflected himself.
However.
Just as he was about to step forward again, he abruptly stopped, his mind exploding as if struck by lightning!
Wait!
The person in the mirror was indeed him, but that face belonged to his previous life!
That's right, it was the face from his past life!
However, what made his scalp tingle even more was that the person in the mirror also wore a look of horror. He actually raised his foot and was slowly walking towards him!
The person in the mirror moved!
This bizarre scene made Su Yu's palms break out in a cold sweat!
After all, he had transmigrated after jumping into a river, meaning his original body had already died. Yet now, he was seeing his original body appear before him in a mirror world. The sense of dissociation and horror made his mind buzz!
The two drew closer and closer.
They stopped only when they were almost face-to-face.
The other person seemed equally bewildered and taken aback. Suddenly, a thought surfaced in his mind.
"You are... the original host?"
"You are... the original host?"
They spoke almost simultaneously.
And then both froze in place!
"It seems so..."
The other person smiled.
The sense of horror in Su Yu's heart vanished, but the feeling of dissociation remained.
After all, that body had once been his. Seeing another soul inhabiting it now naturally felt uncomfortable.
"So, we've transmigrated into each other?" Su Yu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"It should be," the other person nodded with a smile.
After a long while.
Both of them had calmed down.
The other person was clearly more talkative than Su Yu and immediately started the conversation: "Good heavens, if you were going to commit suicide, you couldn't even pick a better method than jumping into a river. When I woke up in the water, I was shivering so hard!"
Su Yu's eye twitched: "It's better than jumping off a building. At least my physical condition is good. Do you know what I was like when I transmigrated into your body? I was so weak I gasped for breath just walking."
"Haha, you committed suicide, and I died of illness. How can it be the same?" Hearing Su Yu say that, the other person felt much better. These two people who had died once were now discussing life and death here, which was quite a rare occurrence.
"By the way, do you have a system?" Su Yu suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.
Strictly speaking, the other person was also a transmigrator, and systems were standard equipment for them.
"Yes," the other person nodded with a strange expression.
"What system?" Su Yu was even more curious.
"A Godly Tycoon system, the kind that gives a hundredfold return," the other person said frankly without hiding anything, then asked Su Yu, "What's yours?"
"Entertainment, the kind where you have to spend money to buy songs..." Su Yu suddenly felt envious. A Godly Tycoon system, and on Earth at that! Thinking about it, his entertainment system, which required spending money to customize, was trash.
After all, he had to work his fingers to the bone to earn money by releasing songs, while the other person could just buy and buy and get a hundredfold return. How exhilarating would that be!
The other person pondered, then sighed: "It seems... systems are quite humane. You wanted fame, and I wanted to get rich."
They both had the original host's memories, so they naturally knew what their respective dreams were.
Su Yu's dream was for the world to hear his singing, while the original host's dream was to no longer be poor. After all, he had always felt that he was a burden to his parents. Because of his illness, his parents had to live such tiring and meager lives. In his despair, his condition worsened, leading to his death. He even felt relieved when he died, thinking he was finally no longer a burden to his parents.
"Have you cleared the game yet?" Su Yu asked again.
"World's richest man," the other person said, then looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu's lips curled up: "World superstar."
They both nodded.
It seemed they had both accomplished their dreams.
After getting to know each other.
A brief silence fell between them.
"My parents... are they alright?" the other person asked Su Yu with a complicated expression.
Having been a burden to his family for so many years.
He always felt apologetic towards Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Guizhi.
Even after transmigrating, it remained a concern for him.
"Of course. Not only them, but also your uncle and second uncle, all the relatives, are living well. They've pooled resources to open a chain of noodle shops..."
Su Yu explained the situation on this side to him.
When he heard that his parents were living well, the other person's expression visibly relaxed.
After Su Yu finished speaking, he sighed in relief and then asked Su Yu curiously, "Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
Su Yu's lips curved slightly, and he shook his head: "Do you think there's anything in that world that I still care about?"
The other person paused, then nodded.
Indeed, when he first transmigrated, the entire internet was scolding him. However, he had no interest in being a celebrity, so he completely ignored the abuse. With the Godly Tycoon system, he directly began his path of buying and buying, becoming a prodigal, and crushing all the entertainment companies along the way. The former top moguls now worked for him.
"Why don't you ask her?" Su Yu said after a moment of thought, his expression complex.
"Who?" the other person asked after pondering.
"Lin Yanyu... the little fairy you were in a relationship with online."
"Are you together?"
The other person seemed taken aback.
"Yes," Su Yu nodded, not elaborating further.
Strictly speaking, it was the original host who met Lin Yanyu first. He was the one who came later.
"I wish you happiness," the other person said with a smile.
"That's it?" Su Yu was stunned.
"You have my memories, so you should know that at the time, I only saw her as a sounding board, someone to pour my heart out to. Calling her my online girlfriend, I never even bothered to find out if she was male or female. In that situation, having someone to talk to was everything to me."
Su Yu pondered.
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Lin Yanyu. She had come to Qingda University for his previous life, but his previous life had more of a need to confide in her.
As for his own feelings for Lin Yanyu, they had gradually formed through three months of chatting after he transmigrated, and then through their interactions at school. But it made sense, after three years of online dating without video calls or meeting, what kind of love could there be?
"Moreover, I'm already married," the other person added.
"Married?" Su Yu became curious.
"I have over a dozen wives now, from all over the world," the other person's smile became even brighter.
"Damn, a Godly Tycoon system paired with a harem!" Su Yu gave him a middle finger.
Enviable...
However, he also felt that settling down with one person for life was pretty good, especially since Lin Yanyu was so wonderful.
A harem, in his opinion, didn't hold much meaning.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically.
Suddenly, a mechanical female voice sounded.
[Please, host, choose whether to return to your original body. If you agree, you will enter the other party's mirror world. If one party chooses to agree, the other party will automatically agree.]
The system's words.
Caused both of their expressions to change drastically!
