1: A system from Zaun

(My brain is like a fresh-keeping cabinet, super functional and super fresh.)

(All plots in this book are fictional, please do not take them seriously. If there are any handsome men or beautiful women who can't help themselves, please turn left and go to Red Romance.)

(Wuwuwu~ Thomas the little train is starting~ The speed in the back is too fast, jumping off is dangerous.)

(No cultivation, no high martial arts, no ancient martial arts!!!)

(The System and the protagonist curse at each other daily~)

Night shrouded the city, which reluctantly revealed its prosperity. With its dazzling lights, constant car horns, and bustling atmosphere, people seemed to have grown accustomed to such a life.

In the dark night sky, a lone crescent moon hung, the stars having long disappeared from this city.

Under the faint moonlight, two figures stood facing each other, silent, just quietly looking at each other.

After an unknown amount of time, one of the men in black slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I can't possibly let you pass. Please go back."

The other man in yellow shook his head slightly upon hearing this. He said in a hoarse voice:

"Go back? Unfortunately, it's too late. I must go in today."

"Ever since I made this choice, I have had no turning back."

Turn back? Unfortunately, he could no longer turn back.

Everything in this world, in twos and threes, is for the sake of profit.

"You... why are you so stubborn?"

"Knowing it's impossible yet still doing it, why bother?"

The man in black sighed, seemingly somewhat puzzled.

"You know, there's no way I'd let you go in and disturb Chen Miss." The man in black shook his head slightly, tightening his grip on his weapon.

"Yes, why am I so stubborn?"

"Perhaps it's because..."

The man in yellow paused, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and continued to speak:

"It's because I'm going to be late!"

"I'm just a delivery guy, you stupid security guard, what are you trying to be profound about with me?"

"If I'm late, they'll deduct my money. Are you going to pay for it?"

Ahem, our protagonist Li Youqian, also the man in black wearing a security uniform.

After retiring from the military, relying on his third-class meritorious service medal, he successfully joined a Fortune Global 500 company, becoming a glorious Country Garden Five-Star General, directly saving forty years of detours and entering retirement life early.

Every day, he would intercept a few food deliveries and open the gate for residents, earning a salary of several thousand yuan. Although he was in a big city like the Magic Capital, his life was quite fulfilling.

At the same time, he also worked part-time as a web novelist on a certain novel platform. Although his monthly income was only a few hundred yuan, it was enough for him to add a sausage when eating instant noodles.

Li Youqian's original name was Li Hanyu, a name given to him by the orphanage director. However, after becoming an adult, he changed his name to Li Youqian (meaning 'has money'). He hoped to become a rich bastard.

But several years passed, and his wish remained unfulfilled.

"Bei~ bei~"

A piercing horn sound came, and a Cadillac frantically honked, urging Li Youqian to open the gate.

"MD, do you, security guard, still want to work?"

"Can't you see I'm back? Hurry up and open the door and let me in!"

Inside the Cadillac sat a bald man, a large gold chain around his neck revealing an air of a nouveau riche.

Li Youqian turned to look at Guang Touqiang, his gaze icy, and then... he smiled fawningly.

"Alright, Brother Qiang, your younger brother will open the door for you now, please don't be angry."

Li Youqian knew this Guang Touqiang. He used to be a street hooligan, idle and committing all sorts of evil deeds.

But a few years ago, his family's house was suddenly demolished, and with the demolition money, he instantly became a rich dog.

Guang Touqiang saw that Li Youqian's attitude was acceptable, so he didn't pursue the matter further, only leaving a sentence:

"In the future, open your eyes wide, don't delay my business again."

Then he drove into the community.

"Pfft, what a thing, isn't it just relying on demolition money to have some broken cash? What's so great about it!"

If it weren't for the automatic barrier being broken, would I have to take this anger from you?

And that delivery rider in yellow also took the opportunity to ride his electric scooter and followed in. Li Youqian wanted to stop him but failed.

The yellow-robed rider's electric scooter skills had reached perfection. They constantly shuttle through gaps; the God of Electric Scooters is not called that for nothing.

"Grass (a plant), my salary is going to be deducted again."

"If it weren't for life, who would want to earn this humiliating money?"

Li Youqian cursed at the yellow figure, but he didn't get up to chase. How could his two fleshy legs outrun two electric wheels?

"Sigh, another trip to Red Romance will be missed."

Sure enough, when he got off work, Li Youqian was informed by his team leader that he was fined 300 yuan for not actively opening the door, delaying residents from returning home, and failing to stop the delivery rider.

"When will this life end? How great would it be if I were a damned rich person."

"Every night a new bride, never the same."

The more Li Youqian thought about it, the more he felt an urge. His lewd appearance made passersby point and whisper about him.

"Ding! System is activating. Eh~ Detecting that the host is too lewd, system is unbinding..."

What? What!!!

Good news, the System is here. Bad news, the System is unbinding...

"Don't... don't, System bro, don't unbind!"

"I was wrong, I'll change (not really), give me another chance!"

As a web novelist, he was all too familiar with this 'System' thing!

Now that a System had finally found him, if he couldn't grasp it tightly, he'd slap himself in the face when he woke up in the middle of the night.

"Ding! Detecting excellent host attitude in admitting mistakes, System re-binding..."

"Binding successful! 007589 Perfect Life System is at your service."

Phew~ That was close.

"System, what functions do you have? Can you let me cultivate immortality? From now on, suppress all ages and become a generation's God King."

Mimicking the novels, Li Youqian silently asked in his heart.

"Ding~ It is recommended that you see a neurologist. If this System had that ability, why would it bind you?"

"This System would have long since hammered your head, then awed the universe and dominated all ages."

...That's true, if the System had that ability, there would be no need to find him.

"Then what functions do you actually have? Also, why did you choose me?"

"What is your purpose?"

Li Youqian calmed down from the joy of getting the System. The appearance of any object has its purpose.

Something as ethereal as a System must be no exception.

He was just an ordinary person. Besides being slightly less handsome than the super-invincible handsome readers, he had no merits.

Moreover, he didn't even transmigrate, so why would the System look for him?

"Are you freaking 'One Hundred Thousand Whys'? Why so many questions?"

"You just need to remember, it's your good fortune from eight lifetimes of cultivation that I bound you."

"This System can bring you wealth, status, power, understand???"

Li Youqian listened to the System's furious output and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Why was this System so ill-mannered? Unlike him, a pioneer of modern civilization, a good young man.

"You're the one with no manners, your whole family has no manners."

"You stupid * host, I * your immortal ancestor."

Hearing the System's fluent cursing, Li Youqian already knew where it came from.

The City of Civilization — Zuan!
