1: Chapter 1: Starting with a Divorce, and a System Appears

(Brain Deposit Box!)

Parallel universe Blue Star.

Ningcheng City, Lu Province.

Room 1701, Unit 1, Building 4, Longyun Community.

A man sat in front of a computer; his face was covered in stubble, and his expression was one of intense excitement.

"The boss is almost out of health!"

"Everyone fall back!" the man shouted commands as if he were leading thousands of troops.

"No one is allowed to use skills!"

"3, 2, 1."

"Fire!"

"Very good, continue."

"Try to take down the boss in one go!" the stubbled man shouted.

The stubbled man's name was Su Fan. He was twenty-eight years old, had a bachelor's degree, and had been graduated for six years.

Compared to those single dogs who couldn't find a partner, he was undoubtedly much luckier.

He married his college classmate right after graduation, and his wife, Zhang Yao, was even a campus belle!

(If you don't have enough strength, it's better to find someone with average looks, otherwise...)

They had been together from freshman to senior year, then from the campus to the wedding dress, always being very loving.

When they got married, Zhang Yao's side required that they buy a house and a car, and the woman's name had to be added to the titles.

Su Fan gritted his teeth and agreed.

So, his parents scraped together the down payment for the house and car; finally, they had them.

Marriage was more than just that; there was the bride price, the wedding banquet costs, and so on. His parents gritted their teeth and spent their entire life's savings to finally bring this daughter-in-law home.

But!

But!

He never expected!

He never expected!!

He never expected!!!

Something as melodramatic as a novel plot descended upon him!

After five years of marriage, before even reaching the seven-year itch, Zhang Yao proposed a divorce!

Su Fan, who had already heard some rumors, played along while trying to find ways to collect evidence.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yao hid it too well. Although someone had seen it, without video or photo evidence, it was impossible to make her leave the marriage empty-handed!

Just like that, the two divorced.

When Zhang Yao left, she took the car that had just been fully paid off.

She even wanted the house, but Su Fan firmly refused. This was his parents' life's work, and even the mortgage was paid by him alone in installments!

How tragic and lamentable!

The only lucky thing about this marriage was that they had no children; otherwise, the plot would have been even more melodramatic.

Now, besides sending a fixed amount of money to his parents every month, Su Fan was living alone with no burdens, finally enjoying some peace!

Every time he recalled this marriage, Su Fan could always find a trace of strange color in his peaceful life.

When he first graduated, Su Fan worked as a programmer at a small company in Ningcheng, and his income was quite decent.

Later, due to special reasons, the company went bankrupt, and he became unemployed.

In the same year, his wife was also laid off and became unemployed.

This year was 2021, the third year of their marriage.

From this year on, their path of paying the mortgage became difficult.

With no income, they relied entirely on meager savings. Later, through a friend, Su Fan entered the game gold-farming circle.

Earning over 5,000 yuan a month, he could barely afford the mortgage. But because Zhang Yao had no job and could only receive over 1,000 yuan in unemployment benefits, life was poor and difficult.

Moving forward, half a year later, Zhang Yao found a good job with a salary of 3,500 yuan and full benefits, working as a secretary in the office of a state-owned enterprise.

Logically, a combined monthly income of 8,500 yuan, with a 3,000 yuan mortgage and a 1,000 yuan car loan, would leave 4,500 yuan—enough for two people to live on.

However, since Zhang Yao joined this company, especially after attending the company's annual meeting, she slowly changed.

Besides dressing more and more beautifully, she also began to look down on Su Fan for making money by playing games.

Even when Su Fan could earn 6,000 yuan a month later on, she still looked down on him.

Finally, this five-year marriage came to an end and broke up unhappily!

(Art comes from life; the author has seen things more melodramatic than this, it's truly an eyesore!)

Su Fan understood everything, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to the divorce.

The only pity was that he had no evidence; otherwise, he would have definitely made Zhang Yao leave with nothing!

From divorcing in '23 to now in 2024, it has been over a year.

Every day, besides playing games to earn money, Su Fan just eats and sleeps.

His income is over 6,000 yuan a month; after paying the 3,000 yuan mortgage, 3,000 yuan remains.

He sends 2,000 yuan to his parents. At first, they didn't want it, but later Su Fan used the excuse of having them save it for him, so they took it. With over 1,000 yuan left, it's enough for him to live alone!

...

"It dropped! It dropped!"

"A big drop!"

"The boss dropped a lot of loot!"

"There's a divine artifact!"

This giant three-legged Toad King, after Su Fan's last arrow shot into its anus, let out a sorrowful and indignant roar before ending its short life.

This battle lasted a full six hours, clearing the Hell-level dungeon. The final reward was one divine artifact and several other pieces of equipment, earning him a small profit of 600 yuan.

After the intense battle, Su Fan tiredly took off his glasses.

He lay blankly on the gaming chair he had spent a huge sum of 800 yuan on, a sense of emptiness following the climax spreading through his body.

"What a boring life!" Su Fan lamented.

He had long grown tired of games; once anything gets mixed with the word "work," it slowly becomes tedious.

Just like that, Su Fan lay quietly in the chair, not wanting to move at all.

Until a loud shout startled him from his daze!

"Holy crap! A meteor shower!"

"Huh? Meteor shower?!" Su Fan jolted and sat up instantly.

Only then did he remember today was December 23rd, and the news reported an Andromedid meteor shower at eight o'clock tonight!

If there's a meteor shower and you don't watch it, you're doing a disservice to your eyes!

Su Fan quickly dragged his stiff body up and ran to the window.

In the night sky outside the window, beautiful meteors streaked across the heavens.

In the residential area, cries of "Holy crap" rose one after another!

"Go to the rooftop to watch; the window is too small, it blocks the view."

Su Fan turned and went out, going straight to the rooftop via the stairs.

He lived on the 17th floor, the top floor; going to the rooftop was extremely convenient.

It's just that the top floor is prone to leaks; the renovation had cost him a lot of money back then.

On the rooftop, Su Fan looked at the sky full of meteors in shock.

He had never seen so many meteors.

He quickly closed his eyes to make a wish.

What should he wish for?

With so many meteors, he might as well make a few more.

"Parents' health and longevity, my own health and longevity, get rich, get very rich, get super rich..."

Su Fan kept his eyes closed wishing, but he didn't notice that a meteor, its light so dim it was hard to spot, was falling straight toward him!

(The gold finger is about to arrive! Jie jie jie!)

After finishing his wish, just as he opened his eyes, a bright spot suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then his vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

...

Su Fan was woken up by the cold. The December wind can freeze a person stiff, not to mention the height bonus of being 17 stories up.

Damage super-multiplied!

He had a dream—a very long dream—but he forgot most of it when he woke up.

The only thing he remembered was that his gold finger seemed to have arrived!

Returning to the room from the rooftop, Su Fan excitedly closed the front door, room doors, windows, and curtains.

Still not feeling safe, he simply disconnected the internet.

Then, sitting in his chair, he silently thought "System," and a pale blue screen appeared before his eyes.

That's right, he was now a person with a system!

The pale blue screen was divided into two parts: personal information on the left and a mall on the right.

Personal Information

Name: Su Fan

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Race: Human

Lifespan: 72

Gene Level: Level 0

influence points: 0 (Click for details)

He could understand everything else, but Su Fan was a bit confused by influence points, so he tried to click "Click for details" with his mind.

Use of influence points: Can be exchanged for black technology in the mall.

How to obtain influence points: influence points are earned when black technology obtained through the super god black technology system exerts influence on people; different levels of influence yield different amounts of points.

Specifically:

Widespread Praise: 1 Influence Point

Admiration and Respect: 10 influence points

Hardcore Fan: 100 influence points

Die-hard Fan: 1,000 influence points

Seeing this, Su Fan understood; this was just currency, but currency exclusive to the super god black technology system mall.

With a nervous heart, Su Fan's gaze moved to the mall screen on the right.

The first image he saw was of ferocious-looking spaceships!

"Holy crap!"

Su Fan was shocked by the black technology in front of him.
