The talisman I drew must be banned.

Chapter 1 I really didn’t want to travel through time

The day before the game "Immortal" was released, the entire project team was busy making popcorn. Everyone's nerves are under high tension and may explode at any time.

It was late at night, but the office building was still brightly lit.

The programming department was busy fixing bugs, the engine department was busy optimizing, the art department was still working on the draft, and the secretary from the president's office in black stockings went to the front desk three times to ask why the water delivery guy hadn't arrived yet, and the teapot was about to burst...

Amidst the hustle and bustle of vitality and competition, there was a person playing a game alone in the back row of the planning department, by the window.

This person's name is Jiang Cheng, a numerical planner in the planning department of the "Immortals" project team. His job is to balance the intensity of various game mechanisms in the game.

At this moment, he seemed to be playing games, but in fact he was not working at all.

Unlike his colleagues who were cramming, Jiang Cheng completed his work early.

Currently, it is for the sake of unity within the company that we stay at work and work overtime.

If you don’t play games, how can you work?
  Jiang Cheng controls the characters in "Immortals" and travels through various scenes of Immortals, sometimes starting battles, sometimes purchasing items, and finally testing the balance of the game.

The story of "Immortals" takes place in a generally peaceful world.

In this world, the five immortal sects rule the world of immortality. The long-term peace has allowed immortal magic to enter the mortal world, and has accompanied the development of mortal civilization into the modern era.

Players can choose to pass the exam to enter the five immortal gates and embark on the path of cultivating immortals. You can also choose to be an ordinary person, study in the mortal world, take the college entrance examination, buy a house, get married, fish and farm, and live an ordinary life.

"Hey! Brother Jiang? Are you playing?"

A man in a suit walked behind Jiang Cheng with his hands behind his back.

Without raising his head, Jiang Cheng pointed to the slogan on the wall and said, "Mr. Wang, don't make loud noises at your work station, otherwise you will be fined two hundred."

Generally speaking, rules govern employees, not leaders.

But Mr. Wang just smiled and didn't take Jiang Cheng's offense seriously.

Everyone in the company knows Jiang Cheng's temper. He is a polite, kind, but very reasonable guy.

If you look at this kind of behavior from others, it may mean that you have low emotional intelligence and don't know how to adapt. But when it comes to numerical planning, it is a rare and excellent quality.

If the values ​​and mechanics of the game are unreasonable and you like to mess around, then the game will probably come to an end.

"Brother Jiang, will you accompany Xiao Wang to go out and light some mosquito coils?"

"Row."

Jiang Cheng decided to give Xiao Wang some face, but as soon as he stood up, his vision suddenly turned dark.

……

Jiang Cheng felt that the sun was a bit dazzling. The sun seemed to be far away, and it was so white that he couldn't see anything.

The breeze blew across my cheeks, tickling and feeling very comfortable.

The heaviness and fatigue of the body gradually disappear, and the pain in the shoulders, neck, waist and back is no longer there.

The whole body is relaxed, breathing is smooth, and the muscles are strong.

Jiang Cheng had an illusion that he seemed to be reborn and returned to the age of eighteen.

As his eyes gradually adapted to the environment, Jiang Cheng tried his best to open them and saw a girl in a pure white dress. Behind her was the rising sun hanging in the sky.

Under the morning sun, the girl's hair and skirt are moving in the wind. She has a pure face, a slim figure, clear and shy eyes, and her cheeks are as red as the sunset. She holds the corners of her clothes with her delicate hands, showing a timid posture. It's simply breathtakingly beautiful.

Why is the sun so big?
  Jiang Cheng was born in a rural area with flat land and neat houses. He had seen many sunrises. In his memory, the sun was not that big and should be smaller than it is now.

what happened?

Helium flash ahead of schedule?

What about planetary engines?

At first, no one cared about this disaster...

"Senior Brother Jiang, Yao'er is only sixteen years old."

Hearing the girl's voice, Jiang Cheng's thoughts that had spread into space reluctantly returned to the ground. The girl in front of her was very beautiful, almost the most beautiful person Jiangcheng Hupiao had seen in more than ten years.

However, Jiang Cheng always felt that she was very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

It wasn't until a strange memory emerged in his mind that Jiang Cheng realized that he had traveled through time.

Become a supporting character with the same name as him in the game "Immortals".

The supporting actor with the same name is not a coincidence, but an Easter egg. Jiang Cheng is one of the planners of "Immortals" and is mainly responsible for the balance of the game's numerical values. The copywriters who write plot stories are often too lazy to name names, so they use the names of acquaintances. Colleagues have long been accustomed to it.

Jiang Cheng didn't know much about the plot, he only remembered a rough outline. If Jiang Cheng remembers correctly, "Dragon actor Jiang Cheng" is a poor dog-licking character in the "Lin Yao" plot line.

He liked Lin Yao, but he was kept hanging by Lin Yao. He kept giving time, energy, and money to Lin Yao, and in the end he never even touched Lin Yao's hand.

You don’t even need to wait until the later stages of the plot, just in the early stage, this “dragon in Jiangcheng” has been eaten up by Lin Yao, disappearing from everyone, and never shows up again.

Lin Yao is a "plot heroine" with an independent storyline in the game "Immortals". She looks pure and beautiful, but she is naturally charming. If you don't have any skills in the early stage, your talent will not show up. Later, he was discovered by the elders of the Hehuan Sect, and he turned to the magic arts and became famous in one fell swoop.

In short, she is a future demon witch.

In the world view of "Immortal God", the five immortal gates represent justice, and everyone in the devil's path calls for beatings.

Getting too close to the demonic witches is not only troublesome and dangerous, but also easy to be named by the righteous celestial sect, thus becoming a blacklist of the righteous path and cutting off the path to immortality.

Jiang Cheng neither likes trouble nor danger.

You have to think of a way to stay away from the evil witch.

Jiang Cheng thought silently.

"Senior Brother Jiang, Yao'er just wants to be ordinary friends with Senior Brother now..."

"Really?"

"Really. Other things, when Yao'er grows up..."

"Then you make a written statement."

Jiang Cheng took out a pen and paper from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Yao.

He was still thinking about how to break off the relationship with the devil sect. After all, according to the character, Lin Yao is a difficult guy, and he is also good at confusing the minds of innocent male cultivators. He didn't expect to solve it so easily.

"Establish written evidence? What written evidence?"

Lin Yao was obviously confused by Jiang Cheng's words and actions.

He deliberately invited me to come to the park to watch the sunrise, not to express his love, but to establish a written record?
  Is this some new routine?
  Judging from his usual behavior, he should be a down-to-earth and honest male cultivator, not the type who knows how to use tricks...

Jiang Cheng put the pen and paper into Lin Yao's hand and said seriously: "It's not something complicated. Just write what you just said on the paper, sign it, and put your thumbprint on it."

"What did I just say...?"

"The 'just friends' thing."

Lin Yao suddenly realized.

It turns out he was jealous because I was estranged from him.

Among Lin Yao's many suitors, although Jiang Cheng is not the most outstanding one, he is still pretty good. He is quite tall and has a sunny and handsome appearance.

The most important thing is that he has good academic performance and is very likely to be admitted to a key Xianmen university. After graduation, he entered the five major immortal sects and became an inner disciple, taking one step further in his cultivation of immortality.

Lin Yao didn't want "Senior Brother Jiang" who "liked" her the most to leave her casually.

Lin Yao moved lightly, and Lin Yao flew to Jiang Cheng's side like a butterfly.

She stood upright, holding the corner of Jiang Cheng's clothes with her little hands, and said coquettishly: "Senior Brother Jiang~ Yao'er didn't mean that~"

There are few people in the world who can withstand the anger and coquettishness of a beautiful girl.

But Jiang Cheng just frowned and felt bad. This enchantress wouldn't intend to go back on her word, right?
