Chapter 1: Start Dark Knight

Same as before, a little shorter?"

Aunt Li in the barber shop opened the electric hair clipper in her hand.

"Well, just make it a little shorter." Chu Cheng replied, "But it doesn't have to be too short."

Aunt Li started to work and said with a smile, "A short haircut gives a neat and professional look. Girls like this now."

"Uh, actually, I'm also thinking about changing my hairstyle." Chu Cheng said.

"Oh really? That's right. A college student should have a little personality, and it's not bad to try a new image. Girls nowadays like trendier ones." Aunt Li continued to echo.

Chu Cheng didn't say a word, but he thought in his heart that, according to this logic, wouldn't girls like guys who constantly change their looks?

That being said, it might be true. Peach Blossom Luck is not directly related to hairstyle style, but it definitely has to do with appearance. But that's understandable because the same goes for men.

Numerous examples have proven that as long as they are good-looking enough, certain standards like gender and race can be ignored.

So for a player like Chu Cheng, the hairstyle is of secondary importance. After all, he is so good-looking that everyone loves him regardless. A single shot from the back can attract countless female fans.

...well, generally only from mom fans.

Chu Cheng didn't know why, but he suspected that he had the face of Zhang Shao, who had struggled for 20 years and was commonly known as the idol of middle-aged and elderly women. He has only moved to this community for more than a year since he entered university, and he has already become acquainted with all the aunts in the nearby area.

At this moment, another aunt in the barber shop who came to chat with her couldn't stand it any longer: "Take care of your hair honestly, and don't keep thinking about promoting yourself to girls. Xiao Chuzheng'er is a well-known college student. I don't know how many girls like it."

Aunt Li, who was pointed at this point, was not happy to listen to it: "What's wrong with our family, Juanjuan? When she becomes an adult, she might also be admitted to a prestigious university."

The two aunts started arguing, and Grandma Wang, next to her, took advantage of the gap with a photo.

"Look, Chu Cheng, this is the girl I told you about last time; she's so beautiful. Can you add her contact information?"

Chu Cheng glanced at the photo Grandma Wang handed over, and the girl in it looked really cute. With big, watery eyes, flawless skin, and slender, straight legs, she is making a "V" sign playfully towards the camera.

But Chu Cheng didn't focus on that; his eyes quickly fell on the metal railing next to him. I saw that the poor railings were suspected to have endured some kind of unknown force that transcended dimensions, which affected the continuity of their space, resulting in an indescribable phenomenon similar to the appearance of a straight man coming out of the closet.

In other words, it is bent.

Well, that's not the point. Nine of the ten photos without makeup were deceiving, and one of them was a hair change. A mere space distortion is not worth making a fuss about, and Chu Cheng would not complain if it was only to this extent.

But Chu Cheng pointed to the reflection in the glass curtain wall of the building next to the girl in the photo: "Is there someone else in the mirror, grandma?"

Grandma Wang looked at the girl, who weighed less than 100 kg outside the mirror and 100 kg inside the mirror in the photo, and fell into deep thought for a while.

"..."

After Chu Cheng finished his haircut, the neighbors chatted for a while, and then he said goodbye under the reluctant eyes of the aunts and went upstairs back to his apartment.

This apartment belonged to his uncle because the address happened to be near the university he was studying at, so when he entered university, his uncle gave him the apartment for four years. This allowed Chu Cheng to enjoy this large apartment without having to live on campus, and he could also avoid paying rent.

Many students were very envious when they found out about his situation, because they thought it meant that Chu Cheng could often bring beautiful young ladies to play at home and go to bed directly when they were tired. After all, his home was quite big.

But no.

Because that would only affect his video game time.

A great man once said that women get in the way, but I am a man who wants to be a world champion. Although Chu Cheng doesn't have such lofty ideals, he has a dozen games in his library waiting for beats without taking damage, as well as a bunch of video material waiting for him to edit.

Chu Cheng, who is an undergraduate student, is also famous in the gaming community because of his superb skills and determination in pursuing perfect no-hit runs, and the edited videos often have stunning visuals, so he has won many fans.

As a conscientious content creator, he always puts his career and fans first and has no time to look for love.

Ding!

When he got home, Chu Cheng had just entered the apartment, and before he had time to do anything, a clear notification sounded in his ears, making his heart tremble.

Could it be that Golden Finger has been delayed for a month and finally arrived?

(T/N: golden finger or system? original was Master's system)

That's right, Chu Cheng is not an original native but a traveler from D-ball.

According to the limited knowledge he has obtained from fantasy works, he can judge that he has traveled to a certain body that is almost the same as his own life trajectory in a different world.

But the world is similar to the D-ball, but not exactly the same.

This Earth is also a world dominated by humans, which is similar to the human civilization that Chu Cheng is familiar with. But the human civilization in this world has a completely different development process, and the complex evolution over the long years has finally led to the fact that today's Earth has no national boundaries.

That's right, although this Earth has continental plates and regional divisions, it has no concept of national boundaries, and it has been like this since many years ago.

In addition, there are many other differences on this Earth, and it would take days and nights to list all the details one by one. But the direct impact on Chu Cheng was not too great.

If time-traveling is compared to a blind box, he feels that his luck is not too bad. In the past generations, some people have traveled to the end of the world where zombies are rampant, some have traveled to the wasteland that was rebuilt in the ruins, and some have traveled to a world where people everywhere have the power of gods...

Compared with those high-risk worlds, his world at least seems to be stable; at least from the memory he inherited, he didn't find any strange phenomena. He has no cheats and no special skills; as long as he can lie down, eat, and wait for death in this life, he will be very happy.

until now.

In the early days, nine of the ten traversers had a system, and the sound of "ding" in their minds was often the beginning of their counterattack or journey.

There is a saying that everything can be rolled up; even the omnipotent system is no exception. With the development of the web, even the system becomes more and more rolled up. In the early years, when the system was opened, most of them talked about the basic method. Later, more and more systems simply showed their cards and did not install them. When they signed in at the beginning, they directly filled up the magical skills, killing everything in seconds with a single knife.

When Chu Cheng turned to this genre back then, he scoffed at it, but now he has changed his opinion after experiencing it personally. He now feels that this system of direct invincibility at the beginning of the check-in is really great.

However, when he changed his posture in his heart to call the system, he found nothing. He realized that the voice seemed to come from the computer that had not been turned off all night on the bedroom desk.

It sounds a bit like the notification sound when the game is downloaded and installed.

Chu Cheng was greatly disappointed, and he couldn't help being puzzled.

Last night, although he was watching a movie, it was a bit late to read learning materials, so he went to bed without turning off the computer, but he didn't seem to remember downloading anything. Could it be that the computer was hacked when downloading movies?

Chu Cheng shook the mouse, waking up the monitor. Soon, he noticed the extra icons on his desktop.

"Avengers vs. Justice League: A New Age".

Chu Cheng:! ?

He actually recognized this game because it happened to be the last game he bought before time travel.

He still remembers that on the eve of time travel a month ago, he excitedly bought this newly released game, downloaded it in the background, and then went out to school to attend classes. Due to unexpected events, he ran into a dump truck, turning the coroner not too far away. He didn't even have time to think, and he quickly forwarded directly and ended up 6 feet under. When he woke up, he was already in a different world. .

Originally, Chu Cheng had already forgotten about this after being in another world for a month, but when he saw this icon on the computer, he almost petrified in place.

You know, there is no Marvel or DC work in this different world, so it is impossible for a game like Avengers vs. Justice League to exist.

So what kind of awesome black technology is this? G Fat's steam platform has already started to expand the business in different dimensions.

Could it be that the Steam platform detected that he bought the game, and before he had time to play it, he disappeared? In order to prevent the customer from spending money on the game and not playing the game, he specially opened a multiverse tour line for him.

Chu Cheng sat in front of the computer, held his breath, and double-clicked to open the game icon.

According to the law of web text traversal, the things you can bring with you from the original world are often extinct. So even though he didn't know how a game downloaded from another world would be useful, Chu Cheng still had expectations for it.

But there is also the possibility that this is really just a game.

After the joint logos of the two companies and the logo of the production company flashed one after another, the screen faded into darkness.

There are only two silver logos left in the middle of the black screen, one "A" representing the Avengers and the other "JL" representing the Justice League, which are divided diagonally on both sides of the screen.

The silver, slender diagonal line represents the loading progress bar of the game, and a line of small characters next to it shows the specific loading information.

"Hero character loaded. Role loaded successfully."

"Game map loading. Map information is missing; loading failed."

Chu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and just as he felt that something might be wrong, he jumped out of the screen again.

"Repairing. New map system loaded."

Then there were several instances of dreadful loading failure prompts in a row, but fortunately, they were all automatically repaired without exception. The game finished loading without any risk and entered the title interface.

Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, the process of loading and repairing also gave him a faint sense of foreboding.

Without hesitation, Chu Cheng directly clicked to start the game.

The game is a classic stand-alone action-adventure game. This kind of game often allows players to play superheroes to complete tasks, experience movie-like main storylines, or freely explore open maps.

"Please choose your hero."

Although he gave tips on choosing a hero, Chu Cheng found that he didn't seem to have a choice. There are a large number of superhero portraits on the screen, but most of them are gray question marks and cannot be selected.

All Chu Cheng can choose is the initial hero given by the game, the top character of DC comics, known as the world's strongest detective, the brain of the Justice League, the Dark Knight of Gotham, and Batman.
