Background / History

Qin Ze was born in 1995 and initially considered himself unremarkable: he had an average physique, average intelligence, average grades, and little confidence in his future. His weak stomach made vigorous exercise difficult, and he avoided basketball despite envying those who could play it well. 3 7

His life changes when he receives the System and begins its newbie tutorial. The System’s charging process drains his physical energy, motivating Qin Ze to obtain the Energy Cultivation Manual and begin practicing the Twelve-Section Brocade. 3 5 6 7

He attends Finance University and works on financial-risk-assessment projects under Professor Li. Although initially inexperienced, he impresses the professor with his work and is appointed leader of his group, with Yang Chen assigned as his assistant. 7 15 22

Appearance

Qin Ze was originally only moderately handsome, with ordinary features compared with Qin Baobao’s striking beauty. A System reward, Facial Micro-Adjustment, drastically refines his appearance and elevates him to “school hunk” status. 3 42

• Tall, straight-backed, and athletically proportioned. 42
• Sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high straight nose, and thin lips after the adjustment. 42
• Acne scars disappear and his skin becomes noticeably smoother. 42
• Develops defined musculature through cultivation and exercise. 420

Personality

Qin Ze is observant and strategically minded. In games and basketball alike, he studies an opponent’s habits and the overall situation before committing himself, often becoming decisive only after identifying the right opportunity. 10 19

He is playful, sarcastic, and fond of verbal sparring, particularly with Qin Baobao. He can be smug about his accomplishments, but he also remains calm when challenged by rivals, business figures, or wealthy connections. 15 26 262 296

His ambition grows alongside his success. Qin Ze wants to change his fate—and eventually “change the world”—yet he struggles between contentment with his comfortable life and the System-driven demand to build something larger. 6 662

He is fiercely protective of people close to him, especially Qin Baobao. Threats to his family or companions can bring out a far more forceful and intimidating side of him. 105 296 335
