【Brain recycling in progress...】
【Recycling complete!】
【System binding...】
【Binding complete, automatically activated for you!】
...Late at night, Chen Fan was startled awake by the sweet notification sound in his mind.
Opening his eyes, he looked tired and bewildered at the pitch-black room.
“Huh?”
【Loading all players...】
【Players loaded!】
【Synchronizing all game data...】
【Game data synchronization complete!】
【All processes synchronized!】
【Earth Online, launching!】
Before Chen Fan could react, a series of notification sounds rang out in his mind.
“Who’s playing games?”
“So noisy!”
Closing his eyes, Chen Fan chose to continue sleeping.
It wasn't until seven-thirty in the morning, when his alarm clock rang, that he struggled to open his eyes.
“Indeed, going to school is the easiest thing in this world, at least you don't have to worry about making money!”
Dragging himself out of bed, Chen Fan went to the bathroom and couldn't help but feel a surge of energy looking at himself in the mirror.
“As handsome as ever, invigorating!”
He felt energized.
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up, only to find a set of data hovering above his head in the mirror.
“What is this?”
【Player Chen Fan: Lv25 (Blue Name)】
What’s going on?
Chen Fan rubbed his eyes, did the system really come?
“System?”
【I am here!】
Hearing this reply, Chen Fan was immediately overjoyed.
He had initially thought he had played games for too long yesterday, hadn't slept well, and was hallucinating.
But he never expected to actually bind a system!
Sure enough!
I knew I was a favored son of heaven, didn't I?
“Quickly introduce yourself!”
【Understood!】
【This system is the Extraordinary Game System, and it has automatically bound the Real-Life Game for you!】
【In this game, everyone on Parallel Earth is a player, but also an NPC.】
【Only the chosen host is a truly independent player.】
【The host can accept tasks published by all players/NPCs, and completing tasks will yield certain rewards.】
【To help the host achieve an extraordinary life, the system will provide all conveniences at any time!】
【Please note: This game has extremely high freedom, and the system will intervene at any time! All rights of interpretation belong to the system! Please abandon your intelligence, follow the system's guidance, and achieve an extraordinary life!】
Chen Fan nodded silently.
It's good to be brainless; as long as I'm brainless, others won't be happy.
If others aren't happy, then I can be happy.
If I'm happy, then I'm happy!
After a series of nonsensical loops, Chen Fan eagerly checked the various data currently compiled by the system.
【Extraordinary Game System!】
【Binder: Chen Fan!】
【Current online players: 6.5 billion!】
【Current location: Heping District, Shenzhen City, East Asia!】
Hiss~
After reading this information, Chen Fan couldn't help but exclaim: How terrifying!
6.5 billion online players?
Interesting.
Turning back to his bedroom, Chen Fan opened his small wardrobe, and various pieces of information suddenly appeared before his eyes.
【Unbranded white short-sleeved shirt: Street stall item】
【Source: Online purchase】
【Value: 25 RMB】
【Function: Warmth +1, Charm +3】
Only three points of charm?
Chen Fan immediately ignored it and looked at other clothes.
【Gray sweatpants: Street stall item】
【Source: Discount sale at a mall】
【Value: 55 RMB】
【Function: Warmth +3, Charm +5】
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly; these pants were pretty good. Indeed, what was said online made sense.
When a man wears gray sweatpants, it's equivalent to a woman wearing black stockings.
These it is!
【White T-shirt short shirt: Counter item】
【Source: Purchased at a mall】
【Value: 68 RMB】
【Function: Warmth +1, Charm +4】
Hmm?
I’ll wear this on top!
Chen Fan grinned. Not bad, this system can even help me pick out outfits?
But what Chen Fan didn’t expect was that after putting it on, he felt a sense of incongruity.
He glanced in the mirror.
Sure enough!
The charm value of the white T-shirt dropped to 1 point.
“System, what’s going on?”
【Reply to host: The charm value of a single item of clothing needs to be recalculated in comparison with other clothes after being worn. Therefore, the data will change, please note, host!】
Chen Fan understood.
He changed into the unbranded white short-sleeved shirt!
The charm value of the white short-sleeved shirt increased to five points!
Interesting.
Putting on a pair of sneakers, his overall charm bonus reached fourteen points.
Chen Fan grinned.
Naturally beautiful, plus the fourteen points of charm bonus.
Brother is still the most handsome guy in this world!
After going downstairs, Chen Fan's gaze swept around, and the world before him changed again.
Everyone had the same information box appearing above their heads.
【Player Zhang Lei: Lv27 (Blue Name)】
【Player Zhao Dongsheng: Lv33 (Blue Name)】
【Player Lou Dongdong: Lv43 (Blue Name)】
【Player Dong Xinyi: Lv28 (Blue Name)】
...Is this Earth Online?
The whole world is gamified, everyone is a player but unaware, only I have activated the system and can see all this?
Chen Fan secretly rejoiced and went to the bus stop to wait.
As his gaze swept over the bus stop sign, the system information appeared again.
【Detected the host’s upcoming destination, the optimal route has been automatically planned!】
【Choosing the bus: Takes 23 minutes, six minutes slower than usual!】
【Choosing a shared electric bike: Takes 19 minutes, can arrive at the destination on time!】
Seeing this, Chen Fan was stunned.
That’s not right!
He usually took the bus, and it generally only took a dozen minutes. How could it take twenty-three minutes today?
“System, what’s going on?”
【Reply to host: The system detected a traffic accident on the necessary route, and traffic is severely congested during rush hour, resulting in a longer travel time!】
Chen Fan suddenly understood.
So that’s it!
Turning around to look at the few shared electric bikes, Chen Fan quickly scanned one.
Riding the electric scooter, Chen Fan then leisurely headed towards the company.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, on his essential route to work, all vehicles were stuck on the road, unable to move an inch.
Only electric bikes could weave through the gaps.
Looking at the 'cattle and horse army' stuck on the bus, Chen Fan couldn't help but whistle.
Wait for me, everyone, I'm going ahead!
As calculated by the system, he had a smooth journey and arrived at the company building without a hitch.
After returning the bike, Chen Fan put on his work badge and swiped his card to enter the company building.
It was 8:23 AM. Chen Fan’s work floor was on the sixth floor, left side. Normally, he would choose to take the left elevator.
But today, as he entered the company, the system’s prompt rang out again.
【Suggested to take the next elevator on the right side, you might encounter President Luo Ying, the company boss!】
At these words, Chen Fan paused.
Luo Ying?
The boss of this foreign trade company, young and accomplished, with both talent and beauty!
He had only seen the boss’s photo on the company website; he hadn't met her in person yet.
Since there was an opportunity to meet her today, wouldn't it be impolite not to take a look?
As a newcomer, Chen Fan should at least know whose money he was usually slacking off to earn, right?
Thinking this, Chen Fan turned and headed towards the right elevator bank.
After watching that elevator go up, Chen Fan waited in place.
Sure enough, footsteps sounded behind him, and at the same time, various greetings reached Chen Fan’s ears.
“Good morning, President Luo!”
“Morning, President Luo!”
“Morning, President Luo!”
Chen Fan looked back and couldn't help but feel his eyes light up.
