I will try to be as rigorous in my writing as possible, I will read the comments, and some content will be explained to help new readers or those who haven't played the game before.
[This story takes place in a parallel universe. Any resemblance to actual events or persons is purely coincidental.]
The story takes place on a university campus, is somewhat slow-paced, but is realistic and logical.
"Holy crap, the Tearful Crown of Ten Thousand Gold! The three legendary items are all here, finally the order is done!"
Jiang Feng suddenly sat up in bed, his heart pounding like a drum, his wrists throbbing faintly, and the soft, cute "nice" cheers from his female boss still echoing in his ears.
But the next second, he froze.
Instead of the familiar rented room, I found myself in a university dormitory with tiled floors, four desks, an air conditioner in the corner, and sunlight streaming through the curtains onto the desks. Everything felt strangely fresh.
"Holy crap, where am I?"
Jiang Feng rubbed his throbbing temples as memories from both lifetimes surged forth like a tide, merging instantly.
"I've transmigrated? To be precise, I've transmigrated into the body of myself in a parallel world?"
"Damn, I just got my 5090 set up, and I haven't had enough fun yet."
The next moment, the memories of the two lifetimes merged in Jiang Feng's mind.
Yes, he is still Jiang Feng. The difference is that he is no longer the top protector of the Delta, but now he is a freshman at Zhejiang University of Commerce and Industry in Hangzhou.
Even more coincidentally, in this parallel world, not only is his name the same, but his family and appearance are exactly the same as in his previous life. He is dashing and handsome (though slightly less so than the book's readers).
The only difference is that he was born three years later, in 2005, and by a twist of fate, he embarked on his educational journey.
In his previous life, when Jiang Feng was eight years old, he followed his uncle into an illegal internet cafe, clicked on the "Dream of Three Hundred Million Mouse" app, and unexpectedly discovered his unparalleled talent in FPS games.
After only six months of practice, at the tender age of nine, he wielded a Barrett rifle and went on a killing spree in New Year's Square.
He was even criticized by Brother Gua.
He still remembers that ID.
Put away your hypocrisy: Open?
Stop your hypocrisy: you opened it first.
Stop being hypocritical: Damn, the parameters are so high.
Put away your pretense and log out of the game.
From then on, being kicked became the norm, and Jiang Feng became known as the genius boy.
In this life, Jiang Feng is three years younger. By the time he was eight, his uncle had become henpecked and never had the chance to take him to internet cafes. Thus, in this life, Jiang Feng went astray in his studies. The FPS world lost a prodigy, and the university gained an ordinary student who followed the rules step by step.
"College life is great, college... I have to go."
Jiang Feng grinned, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
In my previous life, I spent several years as a professional gamer and a top player. Although I amassed a fortune of several million and gained a certain level of fame, I also experienced the ups and downs of the industry and missed out on the carefree years of my youth.
Being able to live again, experiencing the purity of university life while carrying the experiences and memories of two lifetimes, is such a wonderful thing that I could laugh in my dreams!
I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it will never be like the carefree days of my youth!
"If only we had another system, we'd be invincible!"
Jiang Feng smacked his lips and tentatively called out in his heart:
"System? System Bro? System Master?"
There was no response in his mind; instead, the passionate conversation of his three roommates interrupted Jiang Feng's thoughts.
"One left, 2v1, don't rush!"
"Inside the control room!!!"
"Dead blood! Dead blood! One shot and he's dead!"
"Holy crap! We haven't even won this game yet?"
Go ahead and peek at him!
In the noisy dormitory 214, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and all sounds ceased.
Clearly, his three roommates had been kicked to death.
"Ah! I'm bankrupt!" Chen Yulin, who was sitting near the door, slumped weakly in his chair and wailed in pain.
Jiang Feng peeked out and saw that on his three roommates' computer screens was the game he was most familiar with in his previous life—Delta Force!
Jiang Feng glanced at his phone. The time was Monday, December 16, 2424. If he remembered correctly, it was the late stage of Delta Season 2, with only a little over a month left before Season 3. It completely overlapped with the timeline of his previous life!
Apart from being born three years late, which meant I had to go to university, everything else remained the same!
"Wait a minute! The daily active user numbers released by Delta's official Weibo account are actually..."
"One hundred million daily active users???"
Jiang Feng's fingers were trembling as memories of his past life were instantly awakened:
Delta Force was released at the end of September 2024, initially focusing on large-scale battles, but its popularity was lukewarm. Later, the "Beacon Zone" campaign gained momentum, along with the "mouse culture" and various memes, making Delta Force the most popular game in 2025. Before the October 5th incident, its peak daily active users reached 30 million, with mobile games accounting for the majority, at 70%!
In his previous life, Jiang Feng missed the opportunity to become a top streamer because he didn't catch the wave of Delta's rise. Therefore, he has a deep understanding of Delta's development process.
But in this world's Delta, not only did the large-scale battle mode alone achieve 100 million daily active users, but it also achieved a balance between the number of players at home and abroad, truly becoming a global sensation!
"Holy crap, once the 'Beacon Zone' takes off, won't its daily active users be heading for 300 million?"
Jiang Feng gasped. He knew that even in his previous life, League of Legends' peak daily active users were only 180 million. He'd never seen a game with 300 million daily active users in either his past or present life! What kind of influence must that be?
This is a truly world-class national game!
Becoming a top streamer and renowned pro gamer in Delta Force would likely wield influence even greater than that of top celebrities!
He suppressed his excitement and quickly started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).
The meme-worthy mouse videos by Lao Feiyu are already showing signs of going viral, and the player base in the Beacon Zone is quietly accumulating. Everything is developing along the trajectory of the previous viral hit, only the hype has been amplified countless times ahead of time!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, just like in its previous life, Delta has already accumulated enough players and is about to become a viral sensation. It will reach its peak in Seasons 3 and 4. The peak in its previous life was 3000 million, and the peak in this life will be 3 million!
Jiang Feng's heart was pounding.
A tremendous opportunity awaited him.
With his skills and understanding of games, wouldn't that be a pure game-changer in today's world?
Jiang Feng suddenly recalled his regretful past life, the life of that FPS genius.
It wasn't a smooth journey; rather, it was full of hardships.
As a rising star in the domestic FPS scene, she plunged into PUBG at its peak and was known as one of the twin stars alongside xdd Zuo Zixuan, with unlimited potential.
As we all know, the Chinese version of PUBG was delayed in being approved, and the government also restricted live streaming by minors.
Jiang Feng, who is two years younger than XDD, has no way to gain traffic and exposure through live streaming, and is too old to compete in PUBG tournaments.
The most tragic thing is that the team he joined was RNG.
Fate is cruel! XDD has ruined his future! RNG's behavior is well-known! After letting XDD go, they refused to let Jiangfeng go no matter what.
Even if PUBG dies, we must lock up Jiang Feng's contract.
Frustrated and unfulfilled, Jiang Feng accidentally broke his right hand while drunk, and from then on, he lost all his spirituality.
The Jiang Feng of yesteryear, with his zero-frame gun-pulling ability and human-like cheat code, has disappeared.
On the forum, some longtime viewers who used to follow Jiang Feng asked where the once-genius young man had gone.
One comment below completely broke Jiang Feng's defenses: He didn't have TheShy's talent, but he got TheShy's illness!
Even after Jiang Feng emerged from his slump and became a sensation in Delta Force, he still managed to dominate the aerospace world and rule the Tower of Babel, earning a monthly income of 100,000 as a Tongtian Guardian, thanks to his remaining FPS skills after losing his hand.
However, he was unwilling to accept this; his future should have been even more glorious!
And now, he's reborn! With top-tier FPS skills and an omniscient understanding of Delta Force, he's returned to the eve of the game's explosive popularity!
Jiang Feng's heart was pounding: First, let's set a small goal: become a top-tier anchor in Delta!
Jiang Feng's eyes shone brightly, brimming with confidence. Putting aside his actual strength, the points, gameplay, and tactics that only became popular in later generations were enough to teach players who were still exploring the game a lesson.
"Jiang Feng, stop daydreaming! If we don't leave now, we'll be late for advanced calculus class!"
Hearing his roommate's reminder, Jiang Feng smiled even more broadly.
Being a top-tier livestreamer is good, but being a college student is even better.
Life is wonderful!
