At the rooftop of Unit 21, Building 6, Section 3 of Xiangcheng Community in southern Juxia City, a somewhat handsome young man stood beside a window.
With dead fish eyes, the man gazed up at the sky.
Su Jiu was happy. After all, he had died and then transmigrated. In his previous life, he had been a pseudo-otaku, with all sorts of novels, comics, and anime filling his head. Money was no longer a problem.
In his past life, Su Jiu had done everything and played every game just so he would not have to work while still making money. Later, he learned video production and even gained a little fame in the community.
But one night, when he had gone out to buy a late-night snack and was walking down the street, a bottle of beer fell from the sky.
Then...
Then there was no then.
When he had first arrived, Su Jiu had not panicked. Not at all. After arriving in Super God Academy, he had panicked at first, but eventually relaxed. After going through immense trouble to settle his identity issue, he started looking for work.
After all, he had lived a few extra years and even seen his favorite anime characters. It was not a loss. "I've already been in this world for three years."
Just as Su Jiu was feeling melancholy.
"Ding-dong: Dimensional Modification Lottery System successfully bound."
"Mm, System, let me take a look." Su Jiu calmly looked at the virtual panel before him.
"Eh... Host, aren't you surprised?"
"Surprised about what? I've already transmigrated. What's there to be surprised about?"
"Oh, right. Give me my beginner's gift pack." Su Jiu asked calmly in his mind.
System: "MMP, there isn't one."
Su Jiu: "Dead fish eyes. Stare."
System: ...
Ding-dong: "Beginner's gift pack issued."
Congratulations, Host, on opening the beginner's gift pack.

Su Jiu opened the item descriptions.

Upgradeable. Recruitable.
Su Jiu: System, what does recruitable mean?
System: Host, don't you think you need crew members for such a huge warship? I've even prepared 2,000 recruitment orders for you.
Su Jiu said nothing.
System: "...MMP... Recruitment orders can recruit subordinates for you, though you do not have to use them. You get three lottery draws per month, and there is a certain chance of drawing game or anime characters. The characters you draw will never betray you."
Su Jiu still said nothing.
System: "That's all. There really isn't anything else."
System: "Cold sweat (_)."
Su Jiu ignored the system and studied it. The virtual panel before him was divided into four sections.
The first section was the lottery, which displayed all kinds of anime items and characters.
The second was the shop section, which contained all kinds of weapons.
The third was the modification section, which contained various modified weapons and abilities.
The fourth was the mission module, which contained all kinds of missions.
Su Jiu carefully examined the mission module. It had all kinds of missions, with no restrictions. He could accept whichever ones he wanted, and there were no penalties.
Moreover, system goods required Energy Coins, and the only source of Energy Coins was missions.
There were currently only three types of missions.
① Daily Mission: The day's plan begins in the morning. Cultivate the "Physique Cultivation Manual" every morning.
One completion reward: 1,000 Energy Coins.
Two completion reward: 2,000 Energy Coins.
And so on.
② Member Mission: How could a man with a system not have team members?
Every recruited team member rewarded 3,000 Energy Coins.
(Recruiting a team member unlocks the Guild Channel. The Guild Channel cannot be cracked. After all, it is a Guild Channel personally crafted by this system. So pretty.)
③ Permanent Mission: Challenge anyone, anytime, anywhere. You can challenge anyone, and Energy Coins will be rewarded based on the opponent's combat strength.
After thinking for a moment, Su Jiu asked, "System, where is my Hyperion?"
"It is in the system inventory."
Su Jiu fell silent, waiting for the system to continue.
"Ding-dong. Hyperion issued. It is currently parked 30,000 meters beneath the Pacific Ocean. It can surface at any time if the Host needs it."
"No need. Leave it in the sea for now. Once the big chrysanthemum arrives, I'll go aboard the Hyperion. Remember to hide yourself well."
"...This Host is so scary. Sniffle. (_)" This was the system's inner thought.
At five o'clock the next morning, Su Jiu practiced an unknown boxing style in Xiangcheng Community's park. It looked somewhat convincing. Hehe, he was just randomly throwing punches.
Ding-dong: Daily Mission completed three times. Reward: 3,000 Energy Coins.
After Su Jiu finished cultivating, he felt that his physical fitness had improved. He estimated that he was still more than a month of training away from being able to cultivate the Navy Six Styles.
At noon, he drove to a shopping plaza three streets away from Xiangcheng Community.
The shopping plaza had everything one could want, so long as one could find the right place.
Su Jiu had come to find someone. In a coffee shop beside the plaza, a man brimming with thug-like air sat in a corner.
Su Jiu entered the coffee shop, glanced around, then walked up to the thug and said, "Chuang Zi, you came early."
Seeing Su Jiu, Liu Chuang said openly, "Xiao Jiu, you're here. Tsk, tsk. Xiao Jiu, there are so many beautiful women here. Easy on the eyes."
Su Jiu helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Chuang Zi, I came to talk to you about something serious."
"Xiao Jiu, go ahead. Hehe, you know our relationship." Liu Chuang said seriously for once.
As for the relationship between Liu Chuang and Su Jiu, that went back to when Su Jiu had first transmigrated.
Since Su Jiu had no ID when he first arrived in this world, he was starving. Without identification, no place would hire him.
Later, one night, Liu Chuang was being chased by people trying to hack him to death. Su Jiu accidentally saved him. At the time, Su Jiu's head had gone hot. He thought that rather than starve to death, he might as well get hacked to death. There happened to be a construction site nearby. (The protagonist's thought process was abnormal.)
Su Jiu grabbed a Steel Pipe and charged in. Su Jiu wanted to die, so he struck with lethal force. Combined with his reckless, life-risking fighting style, he beat Liu Chuang's pursuers until they fled with their heads in their hands. Later, Su Jiu passed out, having taken several slashes himself.
Liu Chuang later carried Su Jiu to the hospital. Fortunately, Su Jiu had not been hacked to death.
Then came all kinds of questioning. Su Jiu had been completely dazed at the time.
Whatever they asked.
He knew nothing.
Everyone ended up thinking Su Jiu had lost his memories from the beating.
So he simply went along with it and used his supposed amnesia to settle his identity problem.
