Chapter 2

Soon, a black helmet was handed to Ye Xuan.

Throughout the entire process, the receptionist never once looked him squarely in the eye.

Ye Xuan had even less intention of initiating any other conversation with her.

After calmly completing the registration, he left immediately.

"Tch! Such poverty! A desperate little brat like you, what are you pretending to be?"

The receptionist shot a fierce, disdainful glance at Ye Xuan's retreating figure.

Attempting to forcibly capture one's past life at eight years old was nearly no different from gambling with one's life.

"So this is the brain-computer interface."

Ye Xuan spotted a circular port behind the television in the corner.

Brain-computer interfaces had thoroughly entered every household.

They were as ubiquitous as cable television had once been on Earth.

[Super Body] operated via wireless connection.

After inserting the dedicated connector into the brain-computer interface,

Ye Xuan activated [Super Body].

Since it was a new [Super Body] helmet, binding it to a Heavenly Dao identity was required first.

Following a flash of red light and a series of beeps, [Super Body] unlocked completely.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, a look of determination crossing his face, and immediately donned the helmet.

His vision darkened momentarily, then gradually brightened.

The experience was excellent.

Ye Xuan had long since studied the operating instructions.

First, register a Heavenly Dao account.

All Heavenly Dao accounts, much like Federal Identity IDs, possessed independent authentication attributes.

Ye Xuan directly registered using his previous online name: Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation.

Upon completing the name registration, the Super Body helmet automatically bound to his Federal Identity ID.

Relevant basic information appeared.

[Account Name: Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation (Ye Xuan · Hidden)]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 8]

[Occupation: None]

[Bio: The author is too lazy to leave anything~]

[Past Life Captures: 0]

[Highest Brain Activity Level: 0]

[Location: Eastern Federation]

"Greetings, Federal Citizen Ye Xuan! I am Xiao Chao, your Past Life Capture Assistant."

"As this is your first time using [Super Body], you may log in to the forum or the Past Life Capture Zone to explore."

"If you have any questions, feel free to summon me anytime~"

After reviewing the initial guidance, he entered the full Heavenly Dao account interface.

Ye Xuan headed straight for the Past Life Capture Zone.

…………

…………

Everyone could choose whether to make their past life memory footage public or private.

However, the vast majority chose to make theirs public.

On one hand, outsiders did not know their true identities, and what was revealed was merely a past life.

On the other hand, tips constituted a decent source of income.

Some even used footage revealing they were offspring of high officials in a past life to woo women and so forth.

There were many video clips in the Past Life Capture Zone, though most were quite short.

The length of past life footage was closely tied to the level of brain activity during capture.

Each person's brain activity level varied at different times.

The higher the brain activity level, the longer the corresponding past life footage, and the greater the chance of acquiring abilities from that past life.

However, many people, after multiple capture attempts, could no longer retrieve any past life footage.

Perhaps because their past lives contained only scant memories.

The average number of past lives captured across the entire Federation was less than two.

The vast majority of people had only one past life.

Over the past four hundred years, the highest recorded number of past lives reached twelve.

This figure referred not to the number of captured footage clips, but to distinct past lives.

Generally, multiple different clips could be captured from the same past life.

These previously heard pieces of information flowed through his mind.

…………

Ye Xuan entered the Past Life Capture Zone.

Upon logging in, he immediately saw the pinned banner:

[Congratulations to Federal Citizen Oldaisi for achieving the November Best Past Life with an A-Rating! Awarded 200,000 Yuan by the Federal Government!]

[This week's highest past life capture activity levels in the Federation have been released: Jiang Liuer ranks first, breaking the two million activity threshold! A new high in nearly a century!]

Ye Xuan clicked the link to Oldaisi's A-rated past life.

This video had already garnered over a million likes, more than 150,000 reviews, and nearly 400,000 shares.

Upon seeing the tip amount, Ye Xuan could no longer contain himself.

"Holy crap! Received 1.08 million in tips?!"

It was even more than the official reward money!

This was just an A-rank evaluation, yet it garnered such a huge tip!

Ye Xuan's heart pounded wildly.

He didn't dare hope for 1.08 million!

Even 80,000 would suffice!

No, even 10,000 would do!

"Tips are paid out in full; no wonder so many people choose to make their captured past lives public."

The footage of Ordais's past life began to play.

It showed a somewhat gloomy castle.

In the tranquil night, a gathering was being held inside the castle.

However, upon seeing the food on the table,

Ye Xuan felt his scalp go numb.

It was all raw food! Thick blood filled the cups!

The dozen or so guests present all wore expressions of extreme satisfaction.

It was clearly visible that the Princess seated at the head of the table was Ordais in her past life.

As Ordais lightly sipped the blood, Ye Xuan saw two sharp fangs protrude from her mouth.

The entire video lasted nearly forty seconds.

The time captured was only average, but this past-life memory delivered a massive shock to the Federation.

The pinned comment below was precisely the official Federation statement:

[Verified! This past-life scene depicts ancient vampire culture from six thousand years ago on Blue Star!]

[It is the first historical type to appear in the Federation!]

[It holds great significance for bridging the gaps in the Federation's history! Thanks to Old Daisy for contributing to the Federation!]

The number of likes on the official Federation comment was surprisingly higher than the likes on Old Daisy's own post.

Ye Xuan truly felt somewhat envious.

He browsed Old Daisy's Tiandao account.

Not many past lives had been captured, only two past lives comprising seven scenes.

This was the first scene of the vampire past life.

Yet it had earned an unknown amount of money and reputation.

"I wonder if he obtained any vampire abilities."

Switching to view other captured past-life scenes.

Ye Xuan discovered that most lasted around ten seconds.

Very few were longer.

That Jiang Liu'er, who ranked first in centennial activity with two million activity points.

The duration of the captured past-life scene reached a full twenty minutes.

"His past life was actually a monarch; indeed, the higher the activity level, the greater the number of past lives and the higher the status."

This was a pattern summarized by the Federation citizens themselves.

High activity levels meant not only longer capture durations.

It also related to the number of past lives.

As well as the importance of one's status within those past lives.

The more important the status and the higher the influence, the higher the activity level would be.

After watching past-life capture scenes of others for a while.

Most were ordinary people.

Farmers, workers, corporate slaves...

He even saw someone whose past life was actually a pig!

Although the scene lasted only a brief three seconds, the tip amount exceeded one hundred thousand.

While speechless, Ye Xuan was also incredibly envious.

"A hundred thousand in tips! Even if it gets exposed, so be it! Let them watch all they want!"

Ye Xuan suddenly felt somewhat torn between gain and loss.

If he really did capture a scene of his past life as a pig.

He wouldn't ask for much, only hoping that those eccentric old men and women would give some tips.
