2: Chapter 2 Three minutes, not a second more.
Lin Ye felt a bit dazed. Was he doing so poorly that someone couldn't bear to watch and came to provide poverty relief?
If he had known about this trigger clause, he should have gouged out his other eye when he first transmigrated.
"Transmigrator Management Bureau?" he muttered to himself.
Does our Huaxia have such a wild department? Is it legitimate? Is it registered with the industrial and commercial authorities?
I am a law-abiding citizen; I can't be using shady goods of unknown origin.
And that customer service lady, employee ID 996007... She sounds like an overworked corporate slave.
These days, has even transmigration management become so competitive that it offers one-on-one service?
Before he could think it through, the sweet female voice sounded again.
[Monitoring high-dimensional consciousness in the user's world.] [Cracking permissions... 100% cracked.] [Matching suitable item...] [Match complete!] [No.099 Item: Eye of Destiny.] [Item injection starting!]
The next second, a warm current surged from his left eye socket. That glass prosthetic eye was being reshaped by an invisible force.
An indescribable sensation of expansion followed. Terrified, Lin Ye quickly covered his left eye. Damn it! What is this? Isn't this supposed to be a benefit? Why does it feel like it's killing me!
Although it didn't hurt, it felt like something was pushing outward. It wouldn't... shoot out, would it? He subconsciously shrank back against the seat.
The sensation of expansion lasted for about ten seconds. [Injection complete!]
The heat quickly faded, and his left eye socket was quiet as before, as if nothing had happened. He didn't take his hand away. There were dozens of people here; if some holy light laser suddenly shot out, that would be a huge problem.
"Miss customer service?" he tentatively called out in his mind. "Can I get a cash rebate for a five-star review? Or some actual gifts would work too."
[There is an attached message from the previous user, please check it.] [Finally, I wish you great martial success!] The voice disappeared.
Just as Lin Ye wanted to ask a few more questions, his consciousness suddenly sank. A golden piece of paper appeared out of thin air in his mind. It was written in Huaxia cursive script, the handwriting arrogant and wild.
"Yo, a junior from Huaxia?" "This eyeball is something I had left over from my playing days; I donated it to the Bureau for poverty relief, so don't look down on it, kid."
"As for its abilities, stop at red, go at green, gold... you know about the Golden Legend, right?" "If you see grey spots, it means high-dimensional energy has invaded your area."
"Also, with a standard human physique at the start, you can only last a maximum of 3 minutes a day before you're done." "Don't complain about it being short; a man must learn to squeeze out every second of himself."
"Want to last longer? Figure it out yourself." "Develop this eye well! It has many functions!"
"If you can't even do this, don't call yourself a Huaxia transmigrator in the future; it's embarrassing." "Survive, then get stronger; don't get scared shitless by those minor situations on your home planet."
Signed: The Dream of Ten Million Maidens. PS: Little brother, if we have a chance to meet in the future, I'll take you to play with some top-tier high-dimensional big swords.
"..." The paper disappeared, and Lin Ye remained silent for a long time. So... does this count as getting a government position? But why does it sound so unreliable?
Big shot, what exactly do you do? A three-minute real man, squeezing out every second... Listen to that, is that something a decent person would say? And that bit about playing with a big sword... Dream big shot, I'm taking you seriously! You must keep your word!
Lin Ye slowly parted his left hand a crack. The next moment, he was stunned. The left side. He could see the left side! The grain on the seat armrest, the expression on the person's side profile, the rivets on the cabin wall, all were clearly visible.
Two and a half years. He had long been accustomed to the darkness on his left, turning his head half a circle more than others when crossing the street. Now, his left eye was back. Regardless of how good the Eye of Destiny's abilities were, just the fact that it restored his vision was enough. This wave was worth a five-star review!
Just as he was preparing to study it, his wrist tightened. Lin Ye looked down. There was a new dark electronic bracelet on his left wrist, with the current time in the middle. [13:12] It was stuck to his skin; he pulled at it, but it didn't budge. Everyone else in the cabin was fiddling with their bracelets too, all to no avail.
The voice of the National Destiny Challenge sounded simultaneously. [All Challengers have been assigned, upload terminals have been distributed.] [Upload volume limit: 1 independent item within 1 cubic meter.] [The terminal is only for material uploads, no storage function.]
As soon as the voice finished, a translucent light screen of the National Destiny system appeared before Lin Ye's right eye. He scanned his surroundings; no one looked up, everyone was focused on staring ahead. It seemed this thing could only be seen by the person themselves, and... he could only see it with his right eye.
[Name: Lin Ye] [Nationality: Daxia] [Vital Signs: Incomplete] [pollution: 0% (Physical health level)] [Spirit Grid: 100% (Mental health level)]
"pollution represents the body, Spirit Grid represents the mind... These two values are definitely traps, and big ones at that!" Soon, Lin Ye's attention stopped on the two words "Incomplete".
He glanced with his left eye; the cabin floor's color and texture were very clear, his field of vision was complete. Yet on the National Destiny Challenge light screen representing the "supreme will", it still judged him as being in an "Incomplete" state. Could it be that it didn't know what had just happened to this eye?
Awesome! It seems the Dream big shot's rank might even be higher than that so-called supreme will! As expected, your elder is always your elder, and my great Huaxia is the best!
In the 99th High-Dimensional Zone, inside a golden and magnificent mysterious space. A young, handsome man was lounging on a throne, with two stunning goddesses of exotic flair serving him softly on either side. A message popped up on the terminal in his hand. After glancing at it, he showed a mischievous smile, as if watching a show. He quickly composed a message and sent it out.
[Sister Thirteen, I sent out that eyeball of mine; our craft finally has a successor!] Instant reply. [Spring of the Pan-Universal Young Men: That's great, now someone will wear mourning clothes for you in the future!] [...Sister, let's have a proper conversation!]
... Blue Star. The list of backup Challengers from various countries was also synchronized in all live broadcast rooms.
[How many soldiers does Daxia have?] [I counted, not many! I don't know if the others have wilderness experience!] [We also have a one-eyed guy...] [Stop being so negative, okay! Why didn't you say that when he was gouging out his eyeball earlier?] [Don't just stare at one person, this batch of backups feels very precarious...]
The barrage scrolled faster and faster, emotions becoming increasingly anxious. Just then, the official host of the live broadcast room, Su Qinglan, spoke up. "Dear viewers." "I understand your anxiety, but I want to remind everyone." "Not one of our first batch of surviving Challengers was favored at the start."
The barrage scrolling slowed down significantly. "No one is born with a guaranteed winning script; those who can survive don't rely on luck." "It is precise judgment, and the willpower to crush all obstacles for Daxia." "The chosen ones, each of them is the backbone of Daxia." "No matter what their physical condition is, no matter how harsh the starting conditions are..." "Before the results are out, no one has the qualification to write an obituary for them."
The barrage was silent for two seconds. Then... it exploded.
[Well said! Just do it!] [Give the camera to Brother Eye-Gouger! I want to see him land!] [Brother Eye-Gouger! You damn well better survive for me, ahhhh!!!]
Inside the cabin. The white lighting switched to dark red. "Beep—beep—beep—" Three buzzes; that was the jump signal. The rear cabin door slowly opened, and the ramp lowered. Lin Ye remembered when he watched the live broadcast, many people, because of fear, refused to move and huddled on the ramp. As a result, after the plane flew a certain distance, it directly ejected them, resulting in heavy casualties. Therefore, one must jump on their own.
One after another, people rushed to the ramp and leaped into the sea of clouds below. Lin Ye also stood up and was about to walk forward. As it happened, the tattooed man opposite him also stood up. He gave Lin Ye a vicious glare. That look clearly said: Once we land, we'll settle the score.
But when he actually moved to the edge of the ramp, his legs started shaking uncontrollably. As arrogant as he was just now, he was that cowardly standing there now. Lin Ye swayed over to stand behind him. At this moment, everyone in the cabin had their eyes fixed here. In Lin Ye's exclusive live broadcast room, the viewers' breathing stopped, and the barrage became sparse. Under everyone's gaze, Lin Ye silently raised his right leg. Muscles tensed, using all his strength. Then... he kicked the tattooed man in the butt.
"Bang!" "Ah—help—!" Accompanied by a scream, the tattooed man fell out of the cabin and plunged into the clouds. Lin Ye stood at the edge of the ramp, turned around, and scanned the dumbfounded crowd inside. "The rules only say attacks don't cause damage, they didn't say it wouldn't generate kinetic energy." He reached up and pulled down the goggles on his head to wear them. "Everyone, have a safe trip!" Leaning back, spreading his arms, Lin Ye gracefully fell into the sea of clouds.
