1: Global Exploration: Chernobyl!

Inside a private villa in Songjiang City, a man was packing his belongings.

L-shaped tactical flashlights, multi-functional military shovels, matches, candles, sewing kits, compasses, and medical tape were all meticulously placed into his sturdy hiking backpack.

"Xiao Tian!"

"Are you really going to abandon us brothers?"

The middle-aged man beside him kept wiping his sweat.

"Third Uncle..."

Wu Tian didn't even turn his head.

"I have cancer, what use is there for me to stay here?"

"I'm leaving the company to you, just handle it!"

"I need to make a decision I want to make!"

Uncle Wu was stunned.

"The decision you want to make is to explore?"

"..."

Wu Tian straightened up, hoisted the huge backpack onto his shoulders, turned, and smiled faintly at Uncle Wu.

"No."

"It's global exploration!"

...After Wu Tian bid farewell to all the troubles related to him and cast aside a pile of worries, he felt an inexplicable sense of calm.

He looked at the neon lights outside the window, lost in thought.

Even though he had cancer at this moment, Wu Tian had never felt as relaxed as he did now, not at any point before.

"It's time to live my own life!"

"..."

Wu Tian's father was originally the owner of Songjiang City's largest energy company, and his two elder brothers also held significant power in Songjiang's underground world!

He, who had always been focused on his studies, had never been exposed to any of this.

However, a plane crash a year ago brought instant upheaval to his family!

Both of his brothers and his father were all killed!

From then on, only his mother, who had fallen ill and never recovered, remained to depend on him.

Fortunately, after two months of his careful nursing, his mother's illness had somewhat alleviated, and she had more or less emerged from the shadows.

With the support of his father's generation of elders, he naturally took over the responsibilities of his father and two brothers, and at the age of 25, he used an iron fist to stabilize Songjiang.

Within a year, he doubled the Wu family's influence in Songjiang!

But over these years... Wu Tian increasingly felt a sense ofconfused (lostness) late at night when all was quiet.

A vast family business!

A massive underground empire!

Were these truly what he wanted?

The daily scheming, the day-after-day battles of blood and fire, gradually numbed Wu Tian's heart, and he slowly adapted to this extravagant life.

But... the result of a physical examination stirred ripples in his stagnant life once more!

"Cancer!"

Two cold words pierced his heart!

In the final moments of his life, with not much time left, Wu Tian awakened. He thought for a long time.

He wanted to dedicate his remaining time to himself!

Freedom!

This was the only thing he needed at this moment!

So he let go of his father's company, abandoned his brothers' underground empire, entrusted his mother to the trustworthy Uncle Wu, and set off with his backpack!

He wanted to travel the world!

Explore all unknowns!

And make his final life shine brightly once more!

"..."

"Ding dong!"

"Detecting the host's yearning for life, pursuit of freedom, and desire to explore the unknown, the Global Exploration System is unlocking!"

"Binding in progress..."

"Binding successful, the Exploration System is at your service!"

"Hint: One Exploration Novice Set. Host, would you like to open it?"

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly appeared in Wu Tian's mind, causing the hand that was holding the mouse and checking information to tremble violently.

After a long while, Wu Tian finally let out a long breath.

"System?"

"The kind that lets me show off and reach the pinnacle of life?"

Wu Tian asked indifferently.

"..."

"You're already at the pinnacle of life, what more do you want?"

The system retorted coldly.

Then, in an exasperated tone, it opened the system's instruction manual for Wu Tian!

Global Exploration: The system is dedicated to helping the host complete explorations of major life restricted zones around the world, and will broadcast live on major platforms in various countries throughout the process. Completing exploration missions will yield mission rewards.

Note: Successfully exploring one location grants one month of lifespan!

One location, one month of lifespan. With thousands of restricted and dangerous areas worldwide... that's interesting.

Wu Tian narrowed his eyes.

"..."

"Oh, right..."

Wu Tian then asked the system.

"Isn't there a Novice Set that hasn't been opened yet?"

Years of navigating the business and underground worlds had instilled in Wu Tian a meticulous and opportunistic personality, one that would seize any advantage. Facing the system, Wu Tian began to bargain.

"Um..."

"If I deposit some money, can I get double?"

"..."

The system's cold voice sounded a bit impatient.

"No, this is a legitimate system, no pay-to-win!"

"I'll add money!"

"Deal!"

"..."

One minute later, after Wu Tian deposited five million into the system's exclusive account, the number of Novice Sets in the system's backpack quietly changed to two.

"Would you like to open the Novice Set?"

"If I deposit more money, you..."

Wu Tian swallowed.

"Shut up!"

"Are you opening it or not?!"

The system roared in exasperation in Wu Tian's mind.

Wu Tian rubbed his ears.

"If it's a no, then it's a no, why are you yelling?"

"Damn it!"

Wu Tian rolled his eyes, grumbling.

"Open it!"

"Open both for me!"

"Ding dong!"

The first set opened, and a purple light instantly illuminated the entire system space. When the purple light dispersed, a shield-shaped purple Talent floated in the air.

Nirvana Rebirth: The closer you are to danger, the more you can resist danger!

"Hiss..."

Wu Tian's eyes lit up.

"This thing is good!"

"Next one!"

"Ding dong!"

The second set also opened, in an instant!

Golden light instantly filled the entire system space, and a huge energy storm caused ripples to spread throughout the space.

The golden light slowly faded!

Under Wu Tian's expectant gaze, in the silent space... a mouth appeared?!

Narrator-kun: Everything that exists is reasonable. As for why it's reasonable, you'll have to listen to me, Narrator-kun, explain it!

Note: The golden Talent 'Narrator-kun' can help identify the narration of any living or non-living entity. Host, please use it wisely!

"This thing..."

Wu Tian's mouth twitched.

"Why is it a mouth?"

"I somehow feel it's a bit unreliable..."

No sooner had Wu Tian finished speaking than the mouth in the system space aimed at him.

Almost instantly, a narration, spoken by a female voice, appeared in his mind.

Wu Tian: Good physical fitness, outwardly cold but warm-hearted, but sometimes uses ruthless methods to achieve his goals. He's a cunning and scheming man!

Oh, and right now, he's also a poor little thing with cancer!

Wu Tian: ...And at this moment, the system also released its first mission.

Chernobyl, the City of Death: Find it, explore it, and survive for one week in the town of Pripyat under the live broadcast camera!
