Parallel world, China.

Jiangnan Province, Suhong City, Long Lake Starry Sky Community.

In a south-facing, esports-themed room in unit 9, apartment 2402.

The young man who was originally lying on the floor suddenly sat up, his face covered in cold sweat and his eyes filled with confusion.

"What's going on? My body, wasn't it supposed to have melted and evaporated along with the private spaceship? I didn't expect to still be alive and kicking."

“No, I’m dead. Under that bombardment of high-energy particles, there's no way I could survive. Not even my body would remain. Right now, I think my consciousness has transferred into someone else's body, crossing over as a spirit.”

"Oh, the person I've possessed is named Li Xingyang, he's 24 years old. He just got tired from playing games and was stretching his body. When he stood up and opened the window for some fresh air, something hit him and he fell into a coma. Then his soul merged with mine, or rather, my soul merged with his, becoming one inseparable person. However, my soul carries more information, so I'm in control."

This young man named Li Xingyang comes from a good family. He has six apartments in Suhong City, his father is a private enterprise manager, and his mother is a middle school teacher. Their family is well-off, but he himself is a loser. After graduating from university, he couldn't find a good job and stayed at home playing games, completely relying on his parents to support him. He is a complete waste of space. Although this has something to do with the fact that he was dumped by his college sweetheart the year he graduated, being so downcast is simply embarrassing for men.

"Think of me, Zhan Yuan Tian, with no parents. I was a product of the Federation's population factory, a low-end being on the assembly line, born at the bottom. But I didn't give up. I started as an interstellar miner, digging hard, then I ventured into entrepreneurship and entered the energy industry. Step by step, I expanded and strengthened my business until I monopolized 96.5% of the Federation's energy supply. I became known as 'The Man Who Monopolizes the Sun' to countless people, a legend and an idol in the eyes of many. Although I encountered many setbacks and failures along the way, I climbed back up against all odds, creating countless impossibilities."

"Oh! I just don't know what I've done to offend anyone. On my way to inspect an energy relay satellite, I was hit by a precise attack of high-energy photons. This kind of attack method was developed by our company's researchers who managed to collect high-energy gamma rays from inside stars and then focus them into beams. The principle is similar to a gamma-ray burst, which is a very good military attack strategy. I never thought I would be the first target."

Traitor!

Damn traitor!

Zhan Yuan Tian cursed inwardly, also feeling a tinge of regret for his self-imposed confinement.

And this body named Li Xingyang, the reason why it was possessed by his own soul should be that when he just opened the window, he was unfortunately hit by a gamma-ray burst. He was struck by high-energy particles carrying his soul information, and by chance they fused together, allowing Zhan Yuantian to embrace a newborn. He was lucky enough to have a new beginning and didn't completely come to an end.

Then, Zhan Yuan Tian, no, Li Xingyang sat by the computer and looked up some basic information about this world. In the generative AI dialogue tool "Wenxin Qianwen", he asked many questions to understand the situation here in detail.

The time is March 21, 2024, Thursday.

At the late stage of a civilization with nearly equivalent technological levels, controlled nuclear fusion has not yet been achieved, but new energy technology is developing rapidly, and artificial intelligence has entered its first year.

The aerospace industry is booming, and we are just half a step away from interstellar civilization.

Human society is characterized by a relatively loose organizational structure, with over two hundred countries and organizations. Numerous languages, ethnicities, and writing systems exist, leading to internal conflicts and a lack of unity and organization compared to a federation.

Overall, the Red Star Federation is about five hundred years behind. Especially in the field of bio-medical technology, many terminal illnesses have not been overcome, and the average human lifespan is less than a hundred years, which is extremely backward compared to the Federation.

Even if we fall behind in every aspect.

Li Xingyang felt that there weren't too many problems. If he continued down his path as an energy tycoon, he would still have great potential. No, his innate developmental conditions were even better. There was basically no competition here, he could occupy a larger first-mover advantage, preempt all resources, and completely become an even more powerful energy tycoon.

Of course, there are still some lessons to be learned. Although Li Yuantian often repeated the phrase, "I haven't offended anyone! I haven't harmed anyone's interests. All my achievements come from my hard work and struggle," his private spaceship was attacked, and he was vaporized in a gamma-ray burst. The most likely reason for this might be that he felt the value of the Federation's credit currency was too stable and often overissued and depreciated. For his own benefit, he had people issue energy coins based on energy. 1 energy coin equaled 1 watt of power output. The more energy coins one held, the more power output they possessed, thus giving energy coins actual value.

Perhaps it was this very action that enraged the federal high-ups, activated internal moles within the company, leading to this catastrophe. All past efforts and accumulated achievements are likely now a cake being frantically scrambled for by others.

"What have I done wrong? My intention in issuing EnergyCoin was only to give currency actual value. It would be a good thing for all citizens of the Federation! What crime have I committed? Why are you attacking me with gamma-ray bursts?"

Though Zhan Yuan Tian was still a bit resentful in his heart, he found it hard to accept. He truly didn't feel he had done anything wrong; he had only offended some overly powerful interest groups.

Oh!

Never mind.

The Red Star Federation's energy tycoon, Zhàn Yuantian, is a thing of the past. The federation has no chance of going back, and even if they wanted revenge, there's no way to return. All they can do is live on this planet called Azure, in this place called Huaguo, under the new identity of young man Li Xingyang. He needs to rebuild his life and continue doing what he excels at: energy. He wants to achieve success that rivals his past glory.

Glug glug~

Perhaps the process of merging souls just now consumed too much energy, my stomach is protesting with hunger.

Took out my phone to check the time, it was almost 12 noon. Time for lunch.

Ring ring ring~

At this time, the phone suddenly rang. The name in the contact list was "Little Suckdog".

<<>>>

A timid voice from across the way said, "God, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll bring it to you right away. Takeout or home-cooked dishes, anything you want."

Hearing this.

Li Xingyang fell silent. This girl, noted as "Little Licker Dog," was named Xu Rong. She was also 24 years old, a high school and university classmate of the original body. Since the age of 16, she had liked Li Xingyang for eight years and pursued him relentlessly, becoming a female licking dog.

Despite Xu Rong's average to above-average looks, decent figure, and a score of around 7 out of 10, standing at 165 cm with shoulder-length short hair and a fair, plump baby face, she fits the adorable girl type that many boys find attractive. However, she never managed to capture Li Xingyang's heart. He was never moved by her and even felt bothered by her persistent pursuit. Labeling her as "a little lickspittle" in his notes speaks volumes about her position in his mind.

However, when it comes to matters of the heart, energy magnate Zhan Yuantian is clueless. He doesn't understand emotions, isn't interested in them, and has never even considered them. He finds the whole concept baffling. Faced with such a question for the first time, he was even a little at a loss.

"Considering their sincerity, memories of this girl's persistence and humility surfaced. After some thought, Li Xingyang said: "Just bring some food over. Go faster, I'm hungry."

"Okay, hot guy! I'll bring you food right away, within ten minutes!"

Xu Rong said excitedly, feeling extremely happy. This was the first time that the male god had agreed so readily. Usually, he was extremely impatient with all kinds of refusals and even cursed. This time, he agreed without saying anything more, and there was even a hint of gentleness in his tone. Could it be that after her long-term pursuit, the male god's cold heart was finally about to melt? If that were really the case, then it would be great!

"Alright, I'm going to hang up now."

Li Xingyang hung up the phone and went to sit on the sofa in the living room for a while, continuing to organize his memory.

Then he went to the bathroom and washed his face. He looked at himself in the mirror for a while, about 1.82 meters tall, with a well-proportioned and slender figure. His handsome and fair face, with messy hair covering most of his forehead, made him look slightly disheveled, but it couldn't hide his imposing aura. Overall, he was rated as a nine out of ten male god. qs

Li Xingyang nodded slightly. Just based on his outstanding appearance, it wasn't so absurd to have a female admirer who had been infatuated with him for eight years. On the contrary, there was some reason to it. As for those handsome readers who have more female admirers, they would definitely agree. top: 3step on: 762
