He reported to school five days late at the start of this academic year. By the time he arrived, the newly built dormitory was already crowded with students. Lin Kai, unable to secure a spot in the new dormitory, had to stay in this old building that resembled a dilapidated structure. As the sole official resident here, Lin Kai dominates this two-story building with 16 rooms together with several rat families, enjoying a per capita living area exceeding 500 square meters. This red-brick black-tile building was constructed at the end of the 1950s, considered a "strong survivor" from the 1950s. Although the walls of this small building are already cracked with intersecting fissures, it still stands firm, demonstrating to everyone who sees it how resilient the generation of the 1950s was! The location of the small building is excellent, backed by mountains and facing a lake, nestled between water and hills, with stunning scenery. Especially the room Lin Kai currently resides in, where lush woods grow outside the window, and not far away, the Pearl Lake shaped like a pearl glimmers with serene ripples. It's a picturesque scene of lakeside mountain views, no less beautiful than those high-end scenic villa areas. Lin Kai chose this room mainly not because the view was particularly beautiful and pleasant, but because it was closest to the main gate, and there happened to be a large tree outside the window that could shield the intense heat of the autumn tiger in September! For an old dormitory without air conditioning, this is a crucial factor. Additionally, perhaps Lin Kai's choice of this room also had something to do with his growth from a boy into a man. Whenever the weather was clear or the sun set, pairs of youthful "wild lovers" from the school would sneak into the lush woods outside this building to "discuss life." Or they would sit by the serene Pearl Lake and play, occasionally doing things under excitement that made others blush upon seeing, quickened their heartbeats upon hearing, and were even more beneficial for the physical and mental development of pure college students—leaving behind some passionate scenes. But now it was deep into the night, and the "wild lovers" had dispersed. Lin Kai was sitting in front of the computer, listening to music while reading online novels. The protagonists in the novel, adorned with the invincible main character aura, started off as unknown small characters and boldly advanced step by step to become world-renowned great heroes or great demons. Then they began to crush lofty and powerful figures with deep backgrounds due to minor frictions, while conquering countless charming beauties of myriad postures, resulting in a harem filled with countless beauties. For a moment, it felt heroic and majestic, unrivaled under heaven and earth! Lying comfortably in the cozy computer chair, adopting a posture that made him feel comfortable, his feet stretched out on the steel bedframe beside him, without worrying about affecting others. Because the dormitory originally designed for eight people had now become his personal domain. He indulged freely in the pleasant smoke rings, savoring the stimulation brought by cigarettes, numbing the void deep within his soul, without having to worry about his parents' reproach and sadness upon seeing him. Because here, there was only Lin Kai himself. Lin Kai believed that this kind of life was the most enjoyable life in the world! Freeing himself from the constraints and helplessness of real life, indulging in the highest level of spiritual enjoyment. Just as some wise person once said - I throw myself onto novels like a thirsty man throws himself onto a woman - extremely refreshing! As one of China's three major furnaces, the weather in Yuzhou City in mid-September was still oppressively hot. There was no air conditioning installed in the old dormitory where Lin Kai lived, and the old layout of the dormitory room wasn't very well-ventilated either. Moreover, the lush forest outside the small building enclosed the area so tightly that not a single breeze could penetrate, making the humid and hot air-filled room resemble a large steamer, abnormally sultry. Sitting in front of the computer, Lin Kai stripped down to his bare torso, fanning himself while still sweating profusely, unable to muster even a hint of sleepiness. According to the locals' understanding of weather changes in Yuzhou, such unusually sultry days usually precede torrential rains. As a native of Yuzhou, Lin Kai also thought it should rain tonight. After checking the weather forecast online, sure enough, it was going to rain heavily tonight. The news of the impending heavy rain was a very considerate piece of good news for Lin Kai, who was drenched in sweat inside the "steamer". At least he could look forward to a good night's sleep tonight. After closing the weather forecast page, Lin Kai continued reading the novel. The content of the book made Lin Kai laugh heartily. He took a sip of the already lukewarm cola, casually wiping the sweat beads that gathered on his forehead with the back of his hand. Let's wait a bit longer; it will cool down once it starts raining. Unconsciously, the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky was obscured by thick clouds, the small woods outside the dormitory swayed and rustled wildly, and the wind howled mournfully, presenting a scene of imminent storm. Judging by the dark clouds and fierce winds, it seemed a thunderstorm was about to break out. This reminded Lin Kai of a certain saying by Tang Monk in a comedic version of Journey to the West: "The wind is blowing, thunder is roaring, rain is falling, everyone close your windows!" Lin Kai got up and closed the window, then sat back down to continue reading the novel. Everyone knows that during a thunderstorm, it's best to turn off the computer. This isn't just about safe electricity use, but also for the safety of both the computer and its user. Lin Kai knew this too; if it were another time, he would definitely have turned off the computer and unplugged the power cord along with other external connections. However, he was currently engrossed in the novel. The plot had reached a critical point, where the protagonist was about to "overcome" the female lead, so he wanted to finish this section before turning it off. "Once I finish this part, I'll turn off the computer and go to sleep," Lin Kai glanced at the situation outside the window. Lightning flashed in the distance, and distant thunder rumbled faintly. Lin Kai always thought being struck by lightning was an extremely rare occurrence. If what was written in novels were true—that being struck by lightning leads to reincarnation or rebirth—it might not be bad at all. Thinking about all those internet users who stayed up day and night playing games, basically all of them had gone through countless thunderstorms of various sizes, yet none of them had been struck by lightning. "Hehe~" Lin Kai laughed carelessly at this point, looking at the sky outside the window and muttering to himself, "If I don't turn it off this rare time, it probably won't matter much, right?" Lin Kai was very clear about what kind of person he was. Apart from being a parasite and idly waiting for death all his life, he was essentially useless. Words like "lacking ambition", "gluttonous and lazy", and "unable to lift a chicken" perfectly described him. If he were placed in a novel, he would be a standard "extra number hundred", not even ranking as A, B, C, or D. Such a person wanting to encounter any miracles was akin to waiting for a rooster to lay eggs—hopeless. Thinking about this, Lin Kai calmly continued reading the novel, remaining unperturbed despite the changing weather and thunderstorm outside the window, exuding a calm demeanor akin to the leading role's confidence in withstanding any storm. Swish –– a bolt of lightning fell outside the window, striking the big tree in front of the window with a crackling sound. Countless silver arcs of light wrapped around the tree, swirling around it like a magical silver net covering the tree. The bright light of the lightning illuminated the sky as if it were daylight, startling Lin Kai who was reading the novel, causing him to abruptly look up and witness this miraculous sight of silver lightning encircling the tree. 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 electricity shot out from the tree, resembling a lively silver snake twisting its slender body, emitting a hissing sound as it zipped towards the room where Lin Kai was located. The electric arc hit the window glass with a "puff" sound, melting a hole the size of a fist, then sped straight towards Lin Kai, who was stunned. Can this even happen?! Lin Kai looked in shock at the silver arc flying towards his face, knowing that if he were struck by this arc, there would be no chance of reincarnation or rebirth; most likely, he would simply perish and ascend to the Western Paradise. At this moment, a complex mix of emotions surged within him, not just panic and fear, but also a tinge of helplessness and reluctance that was hard to articulate. Alas~ In this lifetime, he hadn't even held a girl's hand and was now "struck by lightning"; truly, there was no justice in the world! Just as the arc was about to strike Lin Kai's face, he instinctively tilted his head slightly. Feeling a tingling sensation on his forehead, he lost consciousness.
