Start all over again.

floor-to-ceiling windows at the swimming pool below, his heart filled with loss and reluctance.

As the leader of the Shadow, one of the four major gaming studios in Jinhai City, he commanded a large guild of tens of thousands and was a renowned master swordsman in the virtual world. Now, however, he found himself sitting at home, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

A decade of gaming.

A decade of bloody battles.

After enduring countless hardships and leading the Shadow guild to establish one of the top ten city-states in the "God's Domain" game, he had finally reached the pinnacle of his gaming career. But all of that had vanished overnight when a simple document ended his tenure. Less than 24 hours after he opposed the merger of Shadow with the mega-guild Dominance, the Blue Moon Corporation had responded by deleting his level 200 sword king account, which he had painstakingly leveled up over ten years, and asking him to settle his financial affairs.

All he had been offered was five million credits and a mansion, a pittance compared to the wealth and power he had built up in the virtual world.

Shi Feng felt a deep sense of betrayal. After all he had done for Shadow, after

Before Shi Feng could react, Hei Zi had already hung up the phone.

With a dazed expression, Shi Feng looked at his phone and realized it wasn't his at all. The battered iPhone 6 in his hand was far from his sleek iPhone 12. He then looked around his surroundings.

The small bedroom, barely 15 square meters, was in complete disarray. Books on gaming strategies were scattered everywhere, and on the desk in the corner, a laptop of an outdated model sat. The large wardrobe by the wall was full of clothes, and in the mirror hanging from it, he saw a familiar face.

Upon seeing his younger reflection, Shi Feng was taken aback. "How did I get younger?" he asked himself, quickly getting up and going to the mirror to confirm the change.

Yesterday, he had been sleeping in a spacious and luxurious bedroom. Now, he found himself in this dingy place, looking years younger.

Shi Feng had some memories of this place. It was a small apartment he had rented ten years ago when he was in his fourth year of university, specifically to play in the "God's Domain" game. He had lived there for over half a year before upgrading to a larger apartment in the city center with the money he earned in the game.

Back then, life had been tough. His family's financial situation was poor, and they had taken on a lot of debt to send him to university. Despite this, his parents had struggled to send him enough money for living expenses every month.

Determined to change his family's fortunes, Shi Feng had turned to virtual gaming, which was the most profitable at the time. To improve his skills, he had bought a virtual helmet and set his sights on becoming a professional player.

During those days, he had lived on a strict budget, eating only white bread and instant noodles. To save money, he had never participated in any class reunions or mixers, making him a non-entity among his classmates. The boys looked down on him, and the girls avoided him. When he went to the supermarket to buy noodles, he often had less than ten credits in his wallet, not even enough for a single credit worth of ham. The female clerk, seeing his plight, had offered him discounted ham, but Shi Feng, looking at the tempting meat, had reluctantly declined.

"Could someone be playing a joke on me?" Shi Feng shook his head, dismissing the thought as he looked at the familiar scene and his youngerApril 19th. Even the official website of the popular virtual game "God's Domain" clearly stated its official launch date as April 25th, six days away from now.

"I'm really reborn! Did I really go back ten years ago?" Shi Feng stared at the news report of the Divine Domain, tears of excitement left in his eyes.

At this moment, Shi Feng's mood is indescribable, with regrets, sadness, and joy.

It seems like everything in front of me is a dream.

However, the chirping of cicadas outside the window, as well as the air conditioning blowing out, reminded Shi Feng that all of this was true.

Looking at the family photo of his college years on his phone, Shi Feng never noticed that his father had white hair and his mother had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. They were really old, not as energetic as before.

When he noticed that his parents were getting old, it was a year and a half after the opening of the divine realm. The high debt, heavy labor, and pressure caused both parents to fall seriously ill and unable to recover. It took several million credit points to cure and recover. However, at that time, Shi Feng was just a small team leader of the Shadow, and the money he earned could not afford such expensive expenses.

In order to raise money, Shi Feng tried every means possible, but unfortunately it was not enough. Even though Shi Feng tried his best to maintain it, his parents still left a few months later.

Who knows the pain and regret of not taking good care of his parents in the previous life?

Even if Shi Feng later earned millions of credit points, it became an eternal pain in his heart.

I didn't expect fate to make such a joke on him, and he really started from scratch, everything returned to the starting point.

"Okay, that's great, hahaha. Since I'm reborn, I want to change everything, earn enough money, cure my parents' illnesses, and not let them work hard for their lives." Shi Feng wiped his tears from the corner of his eyes and secretly swore.

Just as Shi Feng was planning his future, Heizi's phone call came again, constantly urging him to go to the university for assessment.

However, Shi Feng remained calm and composed, putting on his clothes and packing himself before heading to Jinhai University.

He is no stranger to the Shadow.

I remember when I was in college, Lan Hailong, the eldest son of Lanhua Group, opened a Shadow Studio and provided a large amount of funds to organize skilled students from Jinhai University to fight in the Divine Realm. At that time, he also went to assess and became a core member, while Heizi became a peripheral member. He was happy for a long time.

Three years later, the Shadow Studio had his leadership, which allowed the Blue Hua Group to make a big profit in the Divine Domain and become a large conglomerate. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was personally fired by Blue Ocean Dragon.

Since he has been reborn, he still has an unparalleled advantage in the divine realm. Naturally, he is not prepared to join the Shadow anymore, become someone else's tool, and make money for others. He has to take a different path and strive for his own life, without having his parents pay for his living expenses or pay off all debts. Therefore, he wants to start a business, open his own studio, create his own company, build his own virtual empire, and live a good life.

Shi Feng arrived at the first teaching building and saw a tall and thin young man with dark skin walking back and forth at the entrance, extremely anxious. This person was none other than Heizi.

"Feng, you finally arrived. Fortunately, the registration deadline hasn't passed yet. Let's hurry up and sign up," Heizi said anxiously when he saw Shi Feng.

Shi Feng shook his head and said very seriously, "Heizi, I'm not planning to go to the Shadow anymore. I want to open my own studio. Are you coming?"

Heizi met in a virtual game with excellent skills, and then ventured into the world together. He can be said to be his own brothers. During his time working with Shadow, although Heizi did not have gaming talent, his management was very strong. He managed hundreds of thousands of people in the guild in an orderly manner. With Heizi's help, achieving his goals would go further. However, he would follow Heizi's choice. After all, he has nothing now and his family is not good. In order to make a living, he decided to become a professional player and join Shadow to earn living expenses.

Heizi was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but lower his head in silence. Shi Feng's words were too sudden, and today's Shi Feng felt very different. He exuded confidence and stability all over, unlike before when Mao was restless.

After a full minute, Heizi finally looked up at Shifeng.

"Feng, don't be fooled. Do you know how much a virtual helmet costs? That's a credit point of 8000. It takes at least six people to open a studio, as well as a workplace and pay salaries. The start-up capital alone costs 70000 to 80000 yuan, and there are follow-up investments. That's quite a lot of money, but do you have that much money now?" Heizi knew about Shi Feng's situation very well and knew that his family was not well-off. He wanted to persuade him to give up this crazy idea.

"You're right, I don't even have the money to buy a virtual helmet from the Divine Domain right now." Shi Feng nodded silently and admitted, as Heizi said, even 70000 or 80000 yuan was not enough. I remember that the 100 person studio recruited by Lan Feilong only spent more than 5 million yuan, and later spent a lot to improve the quality and strength of the studio.

"Since that's the case, why bother taking risks? Going to Shadow is not more stable, at least Shadow can provide virtual helmets, otherwise we can't even play, let alone become professional players." Heizi saw that Shi Feng understood the key to the problem and breathed a sigh of relief, pulling him into the teaching building.

Shi Feng shook off Heizi's hand and looked at him seriously with a serious expression, saying, "But I still plan to open my own studio and don't want to be controlled by others. Are you coming, Heizi?"

Shifeng will not force Heizi, after all, he has no guarantee and cannot reveal the secret that he is a reborn person. He only hopes that Heizi can believe him.

When Heizi saw Shi Feng's serious expression, he always felt that today's Shi Feng was very strange and crazy. It was impossible to make money in the early stages of virtual games. Everyone knows this. Is there any way for Shi Feng to make money in the divine realm? Even if they make money, it will be a few months later, and they don't have that much time to waste.

After hesitating for a while, Heizi gritted his teeth and finally agreed, "I understand. Who made you the big brother? I'll start a studio with you, but what about virtual helmets? Without helmets, we can't play games."

Shi Feng furrowed his brow and happily patted Heizi's shoulder, saying with a smile, "This is my good brother. Don't worry about the virtual helmet. I remember there was a discount for college students in Shenyu to try it out. Every university has a distribution area, and as long as you use your student ID, you can get a free virtual helmet to try out for ten days. Let's go take a look."

"What will happen in ten days?" Heizi's dark face turned pale at this moment, feeling that the future was dark. Why did he believe in Shifeng? Is it the confidence and stability of Shi Feng? Is it really okay to start a business with Shi Feng?

What can one do in the divine realm in ten days?Ten days have passed, and I will definitely miss the good opportunity for major studios to recruit people. In the end, I don't want to buy a virtual helmet, but how will the money come from?

If you want to earn 16000 credit points in the first ten days of opening in the divine realm, even a professional player in a team cannot do it!

"Leave the money issue to me."

Shi Feng patted Heizi's shoulder, showing a confident smile.

Earning 16000 credit points in ten days is a pipe dream, but he has the courage to be a reborn person. No matter what difficulties he faces, he will break them one by one.

And the opening of the divine realm was the beginning of his rise.

Subsequently, Shi Feng brought Heizi to collect a trial helmet and bought all the money for instant noodles, which he placed next to the computer desk in the rental room. There were two large boxes, enough for more than ten days of food. Afterwards, he explained some matters about the divine realm and quietly waited for its opening.

At nine o'clock on the evening of April 25th, a few glimmers of light flickered in the dark and quiet cabin.

Shi Feng lay still in bed, his eyes closed, and he lightly clicked the start button on his helmet.

"Shenyu, I'm here."
