1: Chapter 1 Rebirth! I'm going to spend all my money on this game!

【Brain Storage Area】

---

"Don't... don't... don't kill me! Ah!..."

Jiang Lan's pupils suddenly contracted into needlepoints as a surge of intense pain shot from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head!

A thirty-meter-tall tiger demon opened its blood-red maw filled with sharp fangs and bit him in half. It tilted its head back, swallowing his lower half in one gulp, and began to chew with a look of pure ecstasy!

The sound of bones shattering, mixed with heart-wrenching screams, was enough to make anyone's scalp go numb!

Accompanied by the metallic crunch of fangs, Jiang Lan's head was crushed in a single bite by the tiger demon!

The next second!

Jiang Lan felt a cold, barbed ghostly hand pull him out of his mangled corpse and drag him into a pitch-black tunnel!

Endless darkness accompanied by a deathly silence made Jiang Lan feel as if he had been stuffed alive into a coffin, with twelve steel nails driven in from the outside, and then buried a thousand meters deep underground!

Fear, suffocation, and despair followed one after another.

After an unknown amount of time, light! Finally, a glow appeared at the end of the tunnel!

Jiang Lan was violently pushed out of the dark tunnel by the ghostly hand. Sunlight suddenly pierced into his dilated pupils, causing a sharp, intense pain.

Jiang Lan squinted his eyes into slits and instinctively reached out to block the sunlight.

A moment later, the surrounding scene gradually became clear.

Eight massive blackboards stretched across the wall behind the podium. A teacher, still possessing her youthful charm, was wearing a micro-mini skirt and hot pants that barely covered her. She was leaning over the blackboard, writing, her curves on full display.

All around him were classmates sleeping or playing on their phones.

"What... what's going on?"

Jiang Lan was completely dazed, breaking out in a cold sweat, his body looking as if it had just been fished out of water.

He had clearly just been killed by the tiger demon's bite, so why was he suddenly in a classroom?

Jiang Lan hurriedly pulled out his phone, checked the time, and looked around at the familiar classroom!

Could it be that I... transmigrated?

Transmigrated back to three years ago?

【May 18, 3088】!

Exactly the day the game qixian continent launched its servers!

"Jiang Lan, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go to the infirmary?"

The charming female teacher adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and the two soft peaks on her chest trembled slightly with the movement.

"Teacher, I'm fine. I might just be a little too tired."

The teacher swayed her hips and continued the lecture while Jiang Lan pulled out his phone.

In his past life's memory, the game qixian continent would completely descend upon the world of Blue Star in three years!

Initially, no one believed this news; it sounded a bit ridiculous. How could a game world descend into reality?

But three years later, the blue planet truly merged into the dog-eat-dog cultivation world of qixian continent!

The facts were right there; whether one believed it or not no longer mattered!

In his past life, because Jiang Lan missed the game's launch and cultivated too slowly, he was torn apart and swallowed by a tiger demon on the very first day the qixian continent cultivation world truly descended!

Jiang Lan quickly searched for the qixian continent game and clicked 【☞ Download】.

Suddenly, "Ding!"

A bank text message appeared:

"【Jiangzhou Bank】 Your account ending in 9877 received a deposit of RMB 1,000,000.00 on May 18 at 10:22. Current balance is RMB 1,000,572.15."

That's right!

In his past life's memory, Jiang Lan's parents had passed away in a car accident a month ago, and this 1 million was their compensation payout.

Regarding his parents' death, Jiang Lan had always felt something was fishy.

In his past life, he had found some clues about the cause of their death, and all signs pointed to one conclusion: his parents were murdered!

'Mom, Dad, in this life, I will definitely find the killer who murdered you and avenge you!'

Suddenly, "Ding!"

Another bank text message:

"【Jiangzhou Bank】 Your account ending in 9877 received a deposit of RMB 937,070.00 on May 18 at 10:25. Current balance is RMB 1,937,642.15."

In his past life's memory, after the compensation arrived, the remaining balance from his parents' bank accounts finished the final processing and was transferred to his card.

The qixian continent game had finished downloading. The icon was a celestial sword thrust diagonally into a mountain peak.

Jiang Lan hurriedly clicked it and entered the qixian continent game.

The game interface was in a Xianxia ancient style. A swordsman sat with his back to the screen under the setting sun, gazing over the entire Jianglan City.

Jiang Lan recognized at a glance that this swordsman was the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal!

After registering his account, Jiang Lan quickly clicked the 【☞ Top-up】 button.

He entered the top-up amount of 【1.88 million RMB】 and clicked 【☞ Confirm Top-up】!

【system prompt: Congratulations, top-up successful! You topped up 1.88 million RMB, the System has returned 7.52 million. Your current game account balance: 9.4 million.】

Jiang Lan excitedly confirmed his game account balance several times before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Jiang Lan only kept a bit over 57,000 RMB for himself, enough to last for three years. In three years, all money would become worthless paper.

At 11:10 AM, just after class ended, a girl with a stunning figure, wearing a micro-mini skirt, hot pants, and black silk stockings, walked over, swaying her hips on legs that seemed to go on forever.

'Jiang Lan, are you okay?

Seeing how you looked just now worried me to death.

It seems what happened to your parents hit you really hard!

Do you have time tonight?

I'll accompany you for a walk in the school garden,

To help clear your mind.'

As the stunning girl spoke, she deliberately rubbed her soft, pink chest against Jiang Lan's arm, her beautiful red-painted nails lightly grazing his chest.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a seductive gaze!

This girl was named Su Yutong, a typical green tea bitch.

In his past life, hearing that Jiang Lan's parents had died in a car accident and there was 1 million in compensation, she had proactively approached him.

After tricking Jiang Lan out of all his money, she ran off with a rich second-generation heir.

Later, that rich heir, annoyed that Jiang Lan had dated the green tea girl, even had Jiang Lan's legs broken.

Their breaths intertwined as Jiang Lan looked down at the beautiful woman before him.

'This Su Yutong is just like in the past life,

She's only here to trick me out of the money my parents left me,

Even her seductive little moves haven't changed!

In my past life, in the end,

I didn't even get to sleep with her,

Yet I was swindled out of all my money,

And had my legs broken!

In this life, I will definitely sleep with this green tea bitch, and I'll ravage her mercilessly!'

Jiang Lan turned and walked toward the classroom door.

qixian continent would launch its servers at 12:00 PM. He needed to be prepared to enter the game the moment it opened.

Suddenly!

A figure blocked Jiang Lan's path!

This person was Su Yutong's best friend—'The Tank'—1.5 meters tall and weighing over 200 pounds.

"Jiang Lan, our Yutong is being considerate because your parents just passed away. She's worried you're in a bad mood and invited you out. What's with this attitude?"

"Move aside! Don't block my way!"

Jiang Lan shoved 'The Tank' aside and walked out.

'The Tank' frowned, muttering to herself,

'Jiang Lan is usually such a coward and a simp. He'd blush for half a day just from Yutong speaking to him. Did he take the wrong medicine today?'"

Su Yutong's face darkened.

'Fine, Jiang Lan, you're playing hard to get? It's just 1 million; I don't even care about it!'

It was true that Su Yutong was sexy and quite attractive. If she just found an opportunity to latch onto a rich heir or a sugar daddy and opened her legs, she wouldn't have to worry about getting a few million.

Jiang Lan finished his meal and returned home exactly at 12:00.

Jiang Lan took out his phone, clicked the game icon, and entered qixian continent.

Just as the screen finished loading, a golden light burst from the display.

【VIP2 Privileges Unlocked:】

1. Daily gift of 500 Bound Low-Grade Spirit Stones 【Can only be used by the bound character】.

2. Obtain 1000 Gacha draws.

3. Obtain one additional opportunity to bind a character.

【Ding! system prompt: As a reward for a single top-up exceeding 1 million RMB, the System grants you a character capable of growing into an Empress. Would you like to bind her?】

Holy shit!

So qixian continent has a VIP System, and it even gives an Empress character. Isn't this just cheating?

The feeling of cheating is so good!

I want to top up even more!

Jiang Lan didn't hesitate and clicked 【☞ Bind】.

In his last life, Jiang Lan entered qixian continent too late, and because Su Yutong had swindled him out of his money, he had no money to top up. He only bound a female Disciple from Shu Mountain.

Later, Su Yutong was afraid that the female Disciple Jiang Lan bound would retaliate against her after growing stronger, so she brought her rich heir boyfriend and brutally murdered the Shu Mountain Disciple Jiang Lan had bound.

The scene shifted to a dilapidated, drafty thatched hut with crooked beams.

Through the gaps in the hut, snowflakes mixed with dust were being violently blown in by the cold wind.

A Young Maiden, wearing tattered clothes that barely covered her, was curled up on a broken straw mat.

The girl's face was deathly pale, her jade-like lips had frozen into a dark purple, and her delicate body trembled incessantly.
