Chapter 1 Another World Line

Zhong Ming rubbed his eyes and looked at the painting in front of him with a little incredible surprise.

In the picture, there are overwhelming mechanical army, steel soldiers, tanks, bombers... This is an emotional torrent of steel, which makes Zhong Ming recall the scene in "Terminator".

At the edge of the picture, there is a city that has become ruins, and turmoil and explosions are still happening in the city.

This is a very high-level painting, but because of this, it conveys a sense of despair to the viewer and cannot be removed for a long time.

However, in the center of the picture, the place facing the torrent of the mechanical army's steel was left, leaving a blank space, and only a figure's outline phantom was drawn.

Obviously, this should be a person's back, he is the protagonist of the picture, facing the seemingly unstoppable mechanical legion alone.

"Shouldn't I be in the hospital bed, and I don't remember painting this one before!"

Zhong Ming was completely confused. Not only was the painting in front of him very strange, but the surrounding environment was also very strange!

He found that this place was not in the ward, but turned into a very narrow one-bedroom apartment, a small house!

And I have never seen the furnishings in the room before. The ultra-thin LCD TV that occupies a whole wall, simple foldable furniture, and this high-tech hand-painted board in front of me that I have never seen before...

Everything is completely unfamiliar to Zhong Ming!

The last scene that Zhong Ming could recall was that he was lying on the hospital bed. He felt very tired and sleepy after finishing drawing a painting, so he closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while. But everything changed after waking up!

"Didn't I say...I'm dead?"

At this moment, a large number of memories suddenly poured into his mind. Zhong Ming instantly recalled many things and many memories that did not belong to him!

When I look at this painting again, I suddenly feel familiar with it, and the surrounding environment is no stranger!

...

It can be seen as a parallel world, which is similar to that of Zhong Ming’s previous life, but the biggest difference lies in technology.

Three world wars broke out in this world. During the three world wars, the technological level took an explosive leap, and countries used artificial intelligence and mechanical legions to enrich their troops and improve their combat effectiveness.

But one day, the intelligence crisis broke out suddenly. It was originally a war between countries, but eventually turned into a war between humans and machines.

This war lasted for decades. During this long period of time, wars continued frequently, populations plummeted, bustling cities turned into ruins, and mankind was facing the crisis of extinction.

Fortunately, humans eventually survived tenaciously, completely wiped out the army of intelligence and began to rebuild the ruins.

After that war ended, 15 years have passed.

In the Intellectual Armor War, the original country was completely destroyed. After the war, the Human Resistance Army established a coalition government, re-dividing the world into 16 districts. Survivors began to reproduce and human society flourished again.

Zhong Ming, who is in parallel world, is 20 years old this year. He was born at the end of that war. His parents died in the war. Because of his displaced life and hunger and coldness in childhood, he was always in poor health. Although he tried to regulate the disease, the root cause of the disease has not been removed. He has been working hard these days, so he died suddenly.

Before this, he originally planned to complete the painting and go to a cultural and entertainment company to find a job.

These memories should have existed in this body, so Zhong Ming quickly remembered them.

"What does it mean? I've traveled through time, right?"

"And my body...my cancer is all cured?"

Only then did Zhong Ming notice that his body was very young. Although it was not healthy, he was just weak and did not have the same incurable symptoms as in previous lives!

Zhong Ming stood up excitedly and moved his body.

Although this body is very weak, it is still healthy!

He came to the narrow window with some excitement and looked out, seeing a city scene that he had never seen before.

Incredible prosperity.

More memories of this world also poured into my mind.

Although the war has turned the whole world into ruins, the technological level of human beings is still there. The post-war reconstruction work has progressed very quickly. In just 15 years, many big cities have regained their pre-war prosperity, even surpassing them.

Of course, in many off-tourist areas, the desolate ruins still remind people of the many pasts of that war.

Various industries are developing rapidly, especially the cultural and entertainment industries.

The long war not only completely stagnated the development of the cultural and entertainment industries, but even the original cultural achievements were destroyed. Many artworks and cultural relics were destroyed, and the massive amount of data preserved in the clouds were wiped out by artificial intelligence hostile to humans.

Some scholars even said pessimisticly: Human artistic level has been regressed for at least a hundred years, and those broken inheritances may never be restored!

However, such an environment has also allowed the culture and entertainment industry of the whole world to develop rapidly, meeting people's spiritual and cultural needs.

In the fifteen years after the war, the entertainment industries such as novels, movies, TV shows, games, etc. developed rapidly, ushering in a real golden period and becoming a very popular industry.

It can be said that this is the Renaissance of the New World, which may be the worst time for some, but for others, it is definitely the best time!

After understanding all this, Zhong Ming suddenly felt full of confidence.

The wish that was not fulfilled in the previous life can still be fulfilled now!

And this time, Zhong Ming’s goal is no longer enough to be a world-renowned painter. He wants to build a huge interactive entertainment empire and let his name spread all over the world!

...

"I will help you fulfill your wish."

Zhong Ming sat down in front of the workbench, picked up the hand-painted board, intending to complete the painting.

Before this, he took out some compressed biscuits from the room to fill his stomach. Although this body was basically healthy, it was very weak and he didn't want to die suddenly again.

As for why I eat compressed biscuits...

Although post-war reconstruction is full of various opportunities and hopes, the gap between the rich and the poor will never be eliminated.

Take Zhong Ming as an example. As a graduate without a job, he can only rent a snail house on the edge of the city. This is a welfare housing launched by the coalition government. It has a small area and a bad environment, but it is very cheap.

The original owner was just an ordinary graduate and wanted to rely on this painting to search for a job at Guangyi Interactive Entertainment and interview the position of the original artist.

For him, this is a very valuable opportunity, because it is already difficult for him to support his deposit to interview, join the job, and pay salary.

However, for Zhong Ming, it is not difficult to complete this painting, and it can even be said to be very simple.
Chapter completed!
