The journey of dreams is not necessarily rugged, but it is very difficult to persist. People with dreams will be shaken. In the end, success or failure is no longer important. What is important is whether they still persist...

At the end of July, the beginning of the hot summer, and the night is extremely hot.

Dongdong ~~

A young man with a pale face and a little yellow skin and messy hair opened the door.

Standing outside the door was the landlord. The landlord was talking to the young man, but the young man always lowered his head and touched the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, unable to see the expression on his face.

Bang!

When the landlord left, Wang Xiu closed the door heavily, and infinite loneliness and confusion lingered in his heart.

Wang Xiu turned around and returned to the room, stared out the window, gritted his teeth and punched the table.

After a long time, he could only sigh and close his eyes and collapse weakly on the chair.

No one wants to fail, and he will not accept his fate, but the reality is indeed bleak.

It's so bleak that I can't even pay the rent.

"The animation "Dream Eater" says that drawing comics is a gambling, so writing novels is also a gambling, I am also such a dream eater, but who is my prototype? Is it the highest man in Makoto or his uncle Nobuhiro Makoto who has been exhausted in his comics? Or is it not anyone?"

"If I continue like this, what will happen to me? I will die of overwork like Nobuhiro Machi, maybe it is like this, it must be like this... What's the point of such an ending..."

Failure and failure will surely bring confusion.

In summer, except for your own laptop, the electrical appliances in this room are only left with a small fan that costs dozens of yuan, placed next to the socket behind you. The hot wind is blowing, making people drowsy.

Wang Xiu closed his eyes, stroked his right hand on his eyelids and kneaded them carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the window, wanting to breathe a little night wind to see if it could blow away some of the depression and paleness in his heart.

Puff! Something like fragments hit Wang Xiu. First, it hurt a lot, and then a stream of thin stream like a clear spring spread out in the middle of his eyebrows. At that moment, he felt his soul, and under the infusion of the stream of the clear spring, he felt it like an unprecedented reality.

I only felt a clear stream in my mind suddenly turned into hot energy, wrapped in such a stream of energy, and his consciousness began to blur and fainted.

When I woke up again, it was already early in the morning. Are these hallucinations?

But a mechanical sound turned on.

"drop……"

The wind moves, the window moves, the heart moves, people move, people are gone...

...

World: Unknown (not yet known)

Time: 1998, Heisei 10th year, December 1st.

Location: Ichiban Street, Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo.

It has been seventeen days since he came to this world. Wang Xiu was lucky enough to solve the identity problem that he had traveled through time. At first, he was very surprised, why did this person named Zhang Wei who had a Japanese community background help him so kindly? Could it be that he has the halo of the protagonist? It is impossible?!

It was not until recently that he realized that this was probably a system of possession that influenced people's hearts and allowed this Japanese Chinese from a foreign country to kindly help him solve his identity problem.

This system comes with two basic capabilities.

The first is the omnipotent language proficiency, which allows Wang Xiu to understand all Japanese as soon as he travels through time, but he can't speak or write.

The second is that this ability to invisibly affect people's hearts and solves the identity problem that comes from time to time.

These two abilities alone were enough to make Wang Xiu amazed.

But Wang Xiu was still not satisfied because the system gave Wang Xiu a special ability, but it has not been activated until now, and he doesn't even understand how to activate a prompt.

"After traveling through the world, successfully constructing the coordinates of the two-world channel, drip! Give the special ability to activate the host [Mind Battle]! Ding, the ability has not been intensified, please explore it yourself."

[Mind and Spiritual Battle]: The host can activate this ability under specific conditions, and use his spirit to fight with the other party under specific conditions, hone, train, grow, practice, and realize the truth. (not activated)!

And there is another problem, which is the warning from the system.

Warning: When the system energy is less than 1,000 source energy, the system will turn on the detachment mode to supplement energy and eliminate the host's recovery source energy at the same time. Please raise the mental attributes to 20 points as soon as possible, activate and create a virtual world, and obtain a stable source of energy. Unqualified hosts are not qualified to become the system owner.

Fortunately, the time is quite sufficient. The system comes with 10,000 source energy, and the daily source energy consumption is 1 point. Even if you do nothing and erase something, it will not arrive after more than 20 years.

When this system was first bound to him, it was clear that he was just a temporary host, because his mental attribute was only 13.2, which was still far from the minimum spiritual attribute of 20 points, and he could not even achieve the conditions for the minimum activation of the system's energy function.

Wang Xiu was not in a hurry for a while.

The first thing Wang Xiu had to solve was language problems. He could not only listen and not speak.

In the past seventeen days, Wang Xiu has been learning Japanese hard with the first ability attached to the system. A book is placed on his desk - "A Collection of Common Japanese Words and Syllable Notes".

Well, I also added notes while learning.

"Hello - you're kidding."

"Cute-Kavayi."

"Grandpa-Chicken General."

"Is this OK - I'll fight you like."

"Where do you dig potatoes?...No, it's hollow...what does this mean? I have to think about it..."

Yes, Wang Xiu took out the method of adding notes when he learned English and quickly learned common Japanese terms.

Wang Xiu stood up and stretched his body, reviewing the "Complete Japanese Languages ​​and Syllable Notes" again.

"I can finally go out to meet people. It's a miracle that I've mastered the most superficial Japanese in 17 days. Hey, it would be great if I had learned English so quickly back then."

"However, this is also due to my accumulation of watching Japanese animations over the years, and of course, the plug-in ability of universal translation in the system."

"And I'm finally sure what kind of world this is."

"At first I thought this was a national martial arts combat world with Bruce Lee as the protagonist... Haha, I almost scared me to death."

With the second ability, Zhang Wei has been collecting information about this parallel world and found that the historical development of this world is basically the same as the real world, but there is a person's fate, but there is a huge difference from reality!

That's Bruce Lee!

Bruce Lee was active in this world until 1988, not in 1973.

That day, Wang Xiu accidentally saw Bruce Lee on TV and was surprised to find that it was the documentary film "Jet Kune Do" starring Bruce Lee, whom he had never seen before!

Documentary? What the hell is it? Didn’t Bruce Lee die in 1973? Did he die in a sudden disease and brain edema? Bruce Lee in this world has lived to this day? And you say this is a documentary? Is this a real person in this movie?

"Ah!" a classic sound.

"No, I'm Chinese!"

"I am not the sick man of East Asia, you are!"

In the familiar mockery, Bruce Lee stretched out his finger, pursed his lips and shook slightly: "You, no."

In the movie, the familiar Bruce Lee, with his upper body naked and his strong body, was added with the human fist, and his fist was full of energy. Finally, he punched through the other party's chest with one punch, and blood splashed, his internal organs flowed out, and his death was on the spot. It was extremely real and bloody.

"Documentary? Zhang Wei? You said this is a documentary?"

"Yes, most of it is. For example, you are watching Bruce Lee going to Japan in 1982 and began shooting the prelude to the movie "Jei Kun Do". He was maliciously provoked by the Japanese karate master Zuo Zuo Hengbingwei, who came here and sent him the plaque of the East Asian sick husband in the famous movie "Jingwumen". The two signed a life-and-death contract under the witness of the media of the United States and Japan, and used martial arts to discuss life and death in the Tokyo Dome Gymnasium."

"It was also this battle that began Bruce Lee's invincible path."

Bruce Lee in this world is a legendary figure who is still alive and a world-class boxing master in China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Britain, Thailand and other countries.

"What kind of world is this? There are national martial arts, hidden power, and transforming power. Is it a dragon and snake? No, no, if the dragon and snake, the protagonist is Wang Chao, not Bruce Lee... Then what kind of world is it? Is this the method I want to train and strengthen the spirit? Let me learn to learn Bruce Lee's reputation in the movie entertainment industry and nourish the spiritual will with the worship of sentient beings? Gather the general trend and condense the supreme martial arts? If you fight the heroes in the world, you will either die or live, and you will break through with the great horror between life and death?"

"Although my surname is Wang, my name is Wang Xiu, not Wang Chao, nor Wang Zongchao. I just want to train and increase my spirit and activate my virtual world to save my life. If you really play Bruce Lee in this world like this, let's not talk about anything else. At least this time is not enough. It took Bruce Lee more than ten years to become famous and began to rise. What about me? Even if there is the support of another world's entertainment and culture, I can do this in ten years. Do I have the kind of invincible character like Bruce Lee fighting all over the world? In "Jet Kune Do", Bruce Lee was so terrifying, and he was almost killed five times. Can I? Do I have this kind of invincible belief?"

"No, it would be too dangerous if I chose this path."

Looking back at the late stage of the documentary "Jei Kun Do", Bruce Lee used martial arts magical powers similar to "Fa Tian Xiang Earth", just like the American superhero Hulk, playing transformation! The transformation is more than 2 meters high and the arms are thicker than ordinary people's waist, and fighting with the opponent... Not to mention the specific details of the battle, the scene after the battle ended, which seemed to be dug by two excavators in a row, was enough to make Wang Xiu cry.

This world is too dangerous. The Chinese martial arts are transformed into power and the transformation of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the elixir of the eleventh world of the world? I want me to go to the United States to become a disciple of Bruce Lee?

Wang Xiu was struggling whether to take this path. After thinking about it, he shook his head and refused.

"No, this is not the purpose of the system. If I were to learn from Bruce Lee in this world, I should have traveled to the vicinity of Bruce Lee, Hong Kong or the United States, why should I send me to Japan? This is not right, no, there must be something else I didn't pay attention to. This world cannot be the world of Bruce Lee's invincible world. Bruce Lee is just a relatively unique protagonist in this world. Yes, this is the real world, not a box, where there is only one protagonist. I will wait, and wait until I learn Japanese first."

Wang Xiu's shocked thoughts calmed down a few days later. He knew that Bruce Lee's path was not his own.

Until today, lying on the tatami in the room, Wang Xiu was watching a Japanese program on the Japanese TV station, but saw a Go competition broadcast program, a chess saint-level figure in the Japanese Go Tianyuan Battle - Yuyo Taya!

As soon as this familiar name appeared, Wang Xiu's mind burst out and finally understood what world he was traveling through! It was his nostalgic animation about dreams, persistence, and pursuit, and the world of "Chess Soul" that he made up for the nostalgic episode last month!

As for why Bruce Lee is so arrogant in this world, he can't control so much. In parallel worlds, there are always some people with different destinies.

Don't care about these details, the plot of Chess Soul is just part of this parallel real world, not all.

Wang Xiu thought so.

...

"Soul of Chess"!

The story took place in December of the 10th year of Heisei. Mitsuki, a primary school student in the sixth grade of elementary school, was deducted all his pocket money because he only failed the social exam. He was a little playful and had a sudden inspiration. He took his childhood sweetheart Akira Fujisaki to search for treasures and wanted to sell it to earn some pocket money. Unexpectedly, an old chessboard that he accidentally found was stained with dark blood on the corners. A terrible thing happened. He could see the blood, but Akira Fujisaki couldn't see it!

...

"Run quickly, Xiao Ming, you'll arrive at grandpa's house soon."

Mitsuki Murata took her childhood sweetheart Akira Fujisaki to her grandfather's warehouse excitedly, trying to find something to sell for money inside.

"Well, why are they all useless things?"
