Chapter 2

In the world of Tianqi, every player is randomly assigned a talent skill by the system when they enter the game. This has a significant impact on the player's future. The gap between a player who starts with a god-level talent and one who starts with an ordinary talent is like the difference between a top student and a struggling one.

Although the gap in talents can be compensated for later with the player's attributes and skills, the advantages of a player with a god-level talent in the early stages are something that a player with an ordinary talent can hardly imagine.

In Tianqi, the quality of talent skills is divided into ordinary, good, rare, epic, legendary, and god-level.

It is reported that in the previous life, there were no more than 20 players worldwide who started with a god-level talent, including six players who obtained god-level talent cards before the game began.

To promote the game, the Tianyun Group randomly distributed ten god-level talent cards worldwide, which guaranteed that players would start with a god-level talent. These cards were released a month in advance and were hidden in people's daily lives, often in inconspicuous places, waiting for players to discover them by luck.

In the month before the public beta of Tianqi, five of the god-level talent cards had already been found. Since they could be freely traded before the game started, it is reported that the value of a god-level talent card had already exceeded 1 billion RMB!

Rich players were everywhere, and for a dream start, they didn't care about the money. This also shows how popular the game was even before the public beta.

After Tianqi began and the end of the world arrived, the players who spent a fortune to buy god-level talent cards were secretly rejoicing, while those who sold their cards, which had a one in ten million chance of being obtained, were so regretful that they wanted to commit suicide.

Because in the world of Tianqi, money is worthless.

As the person who discovered the sixth god-level talent card, the fat guy bought a pack of instant noodles from Old Li's convenience store and opened a god card, which he eventually sold for 1.5 billion RMB. When the location of the god card was announced online, Zhang Yi, who lived a few hundred meters from Old Li's convenience store, was extremely regretful: why wasn't it me who bought the instant noodles?

In this life, Zhang Yi can change everything and make himself the one who obtains the sixth god-level talent card!

What Zhang Yi didn't expect was that when he rushed to Old Li's convenience store, he saw a fat guy in shorts and flip-flops holding a bucket of Kangshifu and a bottle of Ice Red Tea, walking out of the store.

"Damn! It's this fat guy, and the... Kangshifu in his hand, the instant noodles worth 1.5 billion RMB!!"

Zhang Yi's heart was pounding with excitement as he hurriedly ran up to the fat guy.

"Bro, sell me your instant noodles, I'll give you 100 RMB!"

The fat guy was confused: "What?"

Zhang Yi was getting anxious and offered ten times the price: "I'll buy the bucket of instant noodles in your hand for 1000 RMB! I'll transfer it via WeChat!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yi took out his phone and opened the payment interface.

The fat guy, still confused, took out his phone and opened the WeChat payment interface.

"WeChat received 1000 RMB!"

"Is this guy crazy?" The fat guy thought to himself, still confused, and handed the bucket to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi, right in front of the fat guy, excitedly opened the instant noodles, but... there was nothing!

How could this be? Where is the god-level talent card? Could it be that it wasn't this fat guy?

But Zhang Yi remembered that the fat guy won the card at around 6:00 PM, it must be him!

While Zhang Yi was stunned, he saw a delivery guy from Old Li's convenience store come out with two whole boxes of instant noodles and say to the fat guy, "I'll deliver them to your place on my electric scooter, just as you said, and put them at your doorstep."

The fat guy gave the delivery guy an OK sign.

This time, it was Zhang Yi's turn to be confused. In his impatience, he couldn't help but ask the fat guy, "Are you crazy? Why are you buying so many instant noodles??"

"Isn't Tianqi about to start? It's for the next week's meals... Is there a problem?" The fat guy was still confused and asked Zhang Yi, "Do you want to buy more? I can give you a discount, 800 RMB per bucket??"

"Buy your sister!" Zhang Yi wanted to kick the fat guy to death. If he had known the fat guy would buy so many, he wouldn't have impulsively spent 1000 RMB on a single bucket of instant noodles.

But the god-level talent card must be among these instant noodles...

Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and opened his phone.

Two boxes of instant noodles, 24 buckets.

"WeChat received 24000 RMB!"

The fat guy was completely stunned, thinking this guy must be crazy or from a very rich family!

Even the delivery guy was shocked.

The suddenly "rich" fat guy waved the half-drunk bottle of Ice Red Tea in front of Zhang Yi: "Do you want the other half... for 500 RMB?"

"No!"

Zhang Yi, holding the two boxes of instant noodles from the delivery guy, quickly ran back to his apartment.

To get these two boxes of instant noodles, Zhang Yi almost spent all the savings he had accumulated over the past few years, but he knew that compared to the god-level talent card, even 1.5 billion RMB was nothing.

With extreme tension, he quickly started opening the instant noodles. After opening more than ten buckets, he finally found a gold card in a bucket of Laotan Suancai noodles!

He didn't know how the fat guy managed to open this bucket of instant noodles exactly two hours before the game started, but Zhang Yi knew his hands were trembling.

As soon as the sixth god card was found, the Tianyun Group, which had implanted a tracking system in the god cards, immediately announced the news online. The Tianqi forum instantly exploded...

The fat guy, who was still on his way home, was gloating about "white-picking" over 20,000 RMB when he saw the news on his phone. The bottle of Ice Red Tea fell from his hand, and he stood there in shock...

Zhang Yi didn't care about these things. He immediately took the gold card he had just obtained and went to his room, inserting the gold card into the card slot at the back of the Tianqi game helmet he had prepared.

Next, he just had to wait for the game to start in an hour and a half!

Outside, the world was still bustling. All the internet cafes were packed, and countless people were coming home from work, brushing the Tianqi official website while waiting for the game to start.

Zhang Yi looked out the window at the sky and sighed.

In the previous life, he survived in the game for eight years but never understood how Tianqi dominated the world. He only knew that to survive in the world of Tianqi, he had to become strong!

Growing up in an orphanage, Zhang Yi, even after being reborn, had no attachments. He only needed to think about one thing: how to make himself strong.

Night fell.

At 8:00 PM, the moment finally arrived.

Zhang Yi sat at his computer, opened the Tianqi game interface, put on the game helmet, and logged into the game...
