Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 1 Yang Wu

(A note before the book: At the beginning of this book, the cheat system wasn't particularly good, and there were constant unexpected deaths during the simulations. Fortunately, it was improved a lot later with suggestions from readers, and the simulations were eventually set up to a maximum of 100 times the time limit. Please be a little patient.)

(Also, please feel free to leave comments about any points that clearly conflict with the original text, as well as any typos. I will correct them as soon as I see them.)

December 9th, around 3 PM.

No. 1 Middle School.

At this moment, a dense crowd of parents had gathered outside the school gate, each with a look of expectation and worry on their face.

Because their child is taking the most important exam of their life at school.

Although humanity endured a difficult period of rebirth, during which countless people perished, the Chinese nation quickly resumed this important examination after recovering some of its strength.

At that moment, in a corner outside the campus, several people were chatting.

One of them was a lean, muscular man who was over 1.9 meters tall and had a hideous scar on his face.

Because of the burly man, the space around them wasn't as cramped as in other places.

"Dad, Mom, Yang, we absolutely have to celebrate after my brother finishes his exams!"

A thin, pale boy in a wheelchair, with sickly-looking skin, said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's go out to eat together when Xiaofeng comes out!"

The boy's mother, a middle-aged woman, said just as happily.

The middle-aged man next to him nodded as well.

They usually don't eat out much throughout the year, but today is the day their son finished his exams, and his friends are there, so it's only right that they eat out.

"No problem, Ahua, what do you want to eat later? It's on me, your brother Yang!" Yang Wu, standing next to the three of them, said with a smile.

Although Yang Wu had promised to treat everyone, he knew very well that they wouldn't be able to have the meal today!

Because the boy named Luo Feng in the examination hall is about to begin his path to becoming a powerful figure.

As Yang Wu chatted with the three men, he sighed inwardly.

He was actually a time traveler.

Three years ago, Yang Wu died unexpectedly while trying to help someone, and then he was transported to this world.

And this world now is the same one he read more than ten times before—"Swallowing the Stars".

This world is magnificent, full of powerful figures and endless wonders.

But all of this seems to be irrelevant to Yang Wu.

Three years ago, Yang Wu was very excited when he learned that he had transmigrated to the world of Swallowed Star and become a minor character in the early stages.

He thought he had become a protagonist, able to explore the boundless universe and experience the endless wonders of this world.

Unfortunately, three years of reality made him realize that people without talent can hardly make a difference in this world!

In fact, Yang Wu's talent is not bad. Now, he is one of the "advanced students" of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and he has basically reached the bottom line of a martial artist.

Such talent is naturally the envy of ordinary people in this world.

After all, the vast majority of ordinary people will never become a martial artist in their entire lives, and Yang Wu is only twenty-four years old now.

However, such talent would be insignificant in the vast universe.

If Yang Wu remembered correctly, the bloodline of the Blue Star people would be ranked ninth in the universe, almost at the bottom.

Since he never got his own cheat code, Yang Wu chose another path: the Eternal Path of Wei Wen, Luo Feng's friend in the original story.

During these three years, Yang Wu diligently cultivated while constantly guiding Luo Feng in his cultivation after they met.

Over the course of three years, the relationship between Yang Wu and Luo Feng, if not surpassing that of Wei Wen, was at least nearly as close.

Unfortunately, after today, Luo Feng's strength will surpass his!

However, starting today, Yang Wu can finally relax.

Thanks to his relationship with Luo Feng, as long as he carefully avoids the next few disasters on Earth, becoming an immortal god with eternal life is practically a certainty.

Just then, the school gates suddenly opened.

But there was still an hour and a half left before the exam ended!

Did some test takers give up and hand in their papers early?

Under the watchful eyes of all the parents, a teacher appeared at the school gate!

"Are the parents of Luo Feng, a student in Class 5 of Grade 12 at No. 1 Middle School, here? Are the parents of Luo Feng, a student in Class 5 of Grade 12 at No. 1 Middle School, here...?"

As soon as he appeared at the door, the teacher shouted loudly with a small megaphone.

"Hong Guo, it seems that the teacher called out Xiao Feng's name!" Gong Xinlan said with some concern, "Only an hour has passed since the exam started. Could something have happened to Xiao Feng?"

"It's Xiaofeng's name!" Luo Hongguo's face also showed worry.

"Dad, Mom, let's hurry over there, don't keep the teacher waiting!" At this moment, Luo Hua, sitting in a wheelchair, was surprisingly calm.

"yes!"

Although Yang Wu knew perfectly well what had happened, he still said to the three of them, "Uncle, Aunt, let's go over there first!"

"Yes! Let's go over there first!" Gong Xinlan quickly said, "Hong Guo, you push Ahua!"

"I'll do it!" Yang Wu walked over directly.

The four of them hurriedly walked towards the door.

"Excuse me, we are Luo Feng's family!" Yang Wu shouted as he pushed Luo Hua.

Upon hearing Yang Wu's shout, the parents outside the school quickly made way, but they were all talking amongst themselves.

"What's wrong with this student? Even the teachers have come out!"

"Could it be that he got caught doing something wrong?"

"Life has only just started to stabilize, and the students are already going astray! Sigh..."

"Wait a minute, this student named Luo Feng is supposed to be an excellent student in school, both academically and morally, and he's also a senior student at the martial arts school!"

……

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Yang Wu and his three companions quickly arrived before the teacher.

Seeing Yang Wu approach the school gate, the martial artist in charge of on-site security quietly moved closer to the school gate.

"Teacher, we are Luo Feng's family members. What happened to Xiao Feng?" Gong Xinlan asked anxiously as soon as she arrived at the school gate.

"Family member, please don't worry!" the proctor reassured him.

"Luo Feng suddenly fainted inside the examination room. We have already contacted an ambulance! The ambulance is on its way. Your family should make some preparations in advance!"

"How could this happen? Xiaofeng was perfectly fine, why did he suddenly faint? Could it be that his headache has flared up again?" Gong Xinlan was very worried.

My son, Luo Feng, has suffered from headaches since he was a child. He has a headache every day and has even fainted a few times.

However, after going to the hospital for a checkup, no problems could be found at all.

Upon hearing the news of her son's coma, Gong Xinlan immediately thought of her son's headaches.

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry too much," Yang Wu said, standing behind Luo Hua. "We don't know exactly what happened either. Let's wait for the ambulance to arrive!"

Although somewhat frightened by Yang Wu's appearance, the teacher reassured him, "This family member is right. You should prepare yourselves and go together when the ambulance arrives!"

Beep... Beep... Beep...

With a long siren, an ambulance drove up from a distance.

Yang Wu was about to get the three people into the car when he was stopped by a fully armed police officer at the school gate.

"Parents, this is a restricted area for the examination; entry is prohibited. Please wait for the ambulance to arrive before going up!"

After saying that, the other person waved his hand again and said to the two people who were about to get into the car to check, "Saving lives is the priority, you two check along with the vehicle!"

"Let them through!"

After the two inspectors got into the ambulance, the man waved and gave the order!
