This parasite is Lin Kai, who has lived for almost 20 years, currently a sophomore at Huayu University, spending his days eating and waiting for death. He was five days late for the start of the school year, and when he finally arrived, the newly built dormitory building had already been packed full by the other students. Unable to secure a spot in the new dormitory, Lin Kai had to stay in this old-style dormitory that resembled a dangerous building. As the only official resident here, Lin Kai, along with several nests of rats, occupied this two-story building with 16 rooms, each having more than 500 square meters of living space. Built at the end of the 1950s, this red-brick black-tile building can be considered a "strong survivor" from the post-50s era. Although the walls of the building are now crisscrossed with cracks, it still stands firm, telling everyone who sees it how strong the generation of the 50s was! The location of this small building is excellent, backed by mountains and facing a lake, surrounded by water, with beautiful scenery. Especially the room where Lin Kai lives now, the lush woods outside the window, and not far away, the pearl-like Mingzhu Lake, with its serene green waves, offers a picturesque scene of lakeside mountain views, no less pleasant than the environment of high-end scenic villa areas. The main reason Lin Kai chose to live in this room was not because of the beautiful view outside the window, but because this room was closest to the gate, and there happened to be a big tree outside the window that could block the heat of the autumn tiger in September! For the old dormitory without air conditioning, this was an extremely important factor. In addition, perhaps Lin Kai's choice of this room also had something to do with his growth from a boy to a man. Whenever the weather was clear or the sun was setting, pairs of youthful "wild lovebirds" from the school would sneak into the lush woods outside this building to "discuss life." Or they would sit by the serene Mingzhu Lake and play around, occasionally doing things that made others blush, accelerated heartbeats upon hearing, and were even more beneficial for the physical and mental development of pure college students. But now it was already deep into the night, and the "wild lovebirds" had long since dispersed. Lin Kai was sitting in front of the computer, listening to music and reading online novels. The protagonists in the novels, endowed with an invincible protagonist aura, started as unknown little characters and bravely strode forward to become world-renowned heroes or great demons. Then they would crush powerful figures with deep backgrounds due to minor frictions, while simultaneously conquering numerous charming beauties, resulting in an overflowing harem. In a moment, the story became breathtaking, with the protagonist standing alone, unmatched in heaven and earth! Lying comfortably in the computer chair, adopting a posture that felt comfortable, his feet stretched out on the steel bed beside him, not affecting others. Because the dormitory originally designed for eight people had now become his personal domain. Indulging freely in the pleasant smoke rings, enjoying the stimulation brought by cigarettes, numbing the emptiness deep within his soul, without worrying about his parents' reproach and sorrow upon seeing him. Because there was only Lin Kai himself here. Lin Kai believed this was the most enjoyable way of life in the world! Freeing himself from the constraints and helplessness of real life, indulging in the highest level of spiritual life. Just like a famous saying from some master - I throw myself onto novels, like a thirsty man throwing himself onto a woman - it's incredibly refreshing! As one of the three major furnaces of China, the weather in Yuzhou City in mid-September was still oppressively hot. There was no air conditioning in the old dormitory where Lin Kai lived, and the outdated layout of the dormitory room itself did not ventilate well. Coupled with the lush forest outside the building, the place was completely surrounded, preventing any wind from entering, making this humid and hot room feel like a giant "steamer," abnormally stuffy and hot. Even sitting in front of the computer bare-chested and fanning himself, Lin Kai was still sweating profusely, unable to fall asleep at all. According to the understanding of Yuzhou people regarding weather changes, such unusually stifling hot days usually meant heavy rain would follow closely behind. Lin Kai, a native of Yuzhou, also thought it should rain tonight. After checking the weather forecast online, it indeed confirmed his expectation - there would be heavy rain tonight. The forecast of heavy rain tonight was very good news for Lin Kai, who was drenched in sweat inside the "steamer." At least he could look forward to sleeping well tonight. After closing the weather forecast page, Lin Kai continued reading his novel. The content of the book made Lin Kai laugh heartily. He casually picked up the already warm cola and took a sip, wiping off the sweat beads gathered on his forehead with the back of his hand. Let's wait a bit longer; it will cool down once it rains. Unconsciously, the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky was obscured by thick clouds, the small woods outside the dormitory swayed their branches in the wind, rustling, and the wind howled mournfully. It seemed like a storm was imminent. Seeing the dark clouds and fierce winds, Lin Kai couldn't help but recall a line said by Tang Monk in a comedic version of Journey to the West: "The wind is blowing, thunder is striking, rain is falling, everyone quickly close the windows!" Lin Kai got up, closed the windows, and sat back down to continue reading his novel. Everyone knows that during a thunderstorm, it's best to turn off the computer. Not only is it safe electricity use, but it's also for the safety of both the computer and the user. Lin Kai knew this too. If it were another time, he would definitely have turned off the computer and unplugged the power cord and other external connections. However, he was so engrossed in reading the novel now. The plot was reaching a crucial point; the protagonist was just about to "deflower" the heroine, so he wanted to finish this part before turning off the computer. "I'll turn off the computer and go to sleep after finishing this section," Lin Kai glanced at the situation outside the window. Lightning flashed at the horizon, and distant thunder rumbled faintly. Lin Kai always thought being struck by lightning was an extremely rare event. If what the novels wrote was true, then after being struck by lightning, one either travels through time or is reborn, which wasn't bad at all. Thinking about those people who spent day and night surfing the internet and playing games, they basically all went through countless thunderstorms of various sizes, yet none of them had ever been struck by lightning. "Hehe~" Lin Kai laughed carelessly at this point, looking at the sky outside the window and thinking, "It should be fine if I don't turn it off this one time, right?" Lin Kai was very clear about what kind of person he was. Except for being a parasite for life, eating and waiting for death, he really had no other skills. Words like "lacking ambition", "lazy", and "unable to lift a chicken" were his true descriptions. If placed in a novel, he would be a standard "passerby B", not even ranking as A, B, C, or D. People like this wanting to encounter miracles or magic was like waiting for roosters to lay eggs—no hope at all. Thinking about this, Lin Kai calmly continued reading his novel, remaining composed despite the changing weather outside, showing a demeanor akin to a protagonist who remains steadfast amidst storms.
Suddenly, a streak of lightning fell outside the window, striking the big tree in front of the window, creating continuous crackling sounds. Countless silver lightning arcs wrapped around the tree, intertwining like a magical silver net enveloping the tree. The bright light of the lightning illuminated the world like daylight, startling Lin Kai who was reading the novel. He suddenly looked up and saw this miraculous sight of silver lightning wrapping around the tree outside the window. Lin Kai stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, almost dropping his jaw! Hmm, if this could be captured, it would surely win a world wonder photography award! Suddenly, a thin arc of lightning shot out from the tree, twisting like a lively silver snake, emitting a hissing sound, and shooting towards Lin Kai's room. The lightning struck the window glass, producing a loud "puh" sound, melting a hole the size of a fist, then directly shooting towards Lin Kai who was stunned. Can this happen?! Lin Kai was astonished watching the silver lightning arc flying towards his face, knowing that being hit by this arc wouldn't result in time travel or rebirth as described in novels, but rather likely mean his immediate demise. At this moment, a complex emotion surged within him, mixed with panic and fear, but also a trace of unspoken helplessness and reluctance. Alas~ this life, I haven't even held a girl's hand and I've already been struck by lightning, truly unjust! Just as the lightning was about to strike Lin Kai's face, he instinctively tilted his head slightly in a daze, feeling a tingling sensation on his forehead, and then lost consciousness. http://www.novbook.com/reading/8/109060/44730.html This novel can be described as earth-shattering and ghost-tearing, touching those who read it to tears, saddening those who hear about it.
