Marvel World

"Welcome to the Huaqiangbei System."

"What the hell?"

A voice sounded in his ear, startling Chen Mu awake.

"Where is this?? Am I not dead?"

Looking at the unfamiliar room before him, Chen Mu was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that someone saved me?"

Chen Mu touched his face, a strange expression on his face.

Chen Mu had a very failed past. Just after graduating from university, he started his own business and achieved some success, with a net worth reaching several million.

However, later, due to an urgent need for money, he took out a high-interest loan. Poor Chen Mu, unaware of the world's wickedness, failed in his business and couldn't repay the loan. The matter even reached his parents.

His parents were just honest farmers and had never encountered such a situation. The loan sharks pressed him relentlessly. Without Chen Mu's knowledge, his elderly father even went to work on a construction site, hoping to help Chen Mu repay the debt. Unfortunately, he had an accident on the site and passed away.

His mother, due to various blows, also died of grief not long after.

Chen Mu, now alone, felt he had no reason to live and felt he had failed his parents. He drank heavily and fell into a deep sleep. Now, Chen Mu suddenly woke up, as if everything before was just a dream.

"Welcome to the Huaqiangbei System."

"..."

A voice came from his ear again. Chen Mu blinked, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"Huaqiangbei System?"

"I'm here!"

"..."

Chen Mu's face darkened. This thing was so much like the "artificial idiocy" on his phone.

Siri?

I'm here!

"Huaqiangbei System, what are you?"

Chen Mu asked curiously.

"I am not just anything; I am the Huaqiangbei System Spirit, possessing high artificial intelligence and serving as your system usage assistant."

"..."

"Um, are you sure you're artificial intelligence? Not..."

Artificial idiocy?

"Please do not doubt my intelligence. I possess immense computational power and am the pinnacle product of Huaqiangbei industry."

A Huaqiangbei product...

Heh.

"Huaqiangbei? Could it be, the one from Shenzhen in my memory?"

The one famous worldwide for producing counterfeit phones?

"Please do not question Huaqiangbei's capabilities."

The System Spirit seemed to say indignantly.

"Oh, alright. Wait, you know what I'm thinking?"

Chen Mu suddenly remembered that his complaints about "Huaqiangbei" were just thoughts, not spoken aloud. How could the System Spirit know?

Moreover, Chen Mu still hadn't seen where the "System Spirit" was.

If an outsider saw him, they would think Chen Mu was talking to himself like a madman.

"The Huaqiangbei System resides within your exclusive space. You can communicate with me directly through your thoughts."

The System Spirit's voice continued.

"The communication between us is on a soul level, so there's no need to speak. Also, your worries are unnecessary. As long as you don't want me to know your thoughts, I won't be able to know them."

"Phew, is that so..."

Chen Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then asked with renewed curiosity, "Where am I now? And wasn't I drunk? Why am I here?"

Although Chen Mu was surprised by the "soul-level" communication with the System Spirit, he wasn't afraid. A person who wasn't afraid of death would hardly worry about this system tricking him.

"This is China, but not the China of the Earth you were previously on."

The System Spirit explained, "This is the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe' that you are familiar with. You did not die, but rather merged with the you of this world."

"Marvel Cinematic Universe?"

Chen Mu couldn't help but be shocked at this point. The world where superheroes were everywhere and aliens were as common as dogs?

"Isn't this world from the movies? Also, what does it mean to merge with another me?"

"You exist in this world as well. However, due to a near-death experience from drowning a while ago, your soul merged with his at the brink of death."

"Another me?"

Chen Mu blinked, then calmed down. Suddenly, a flood of memories surged into his mind...

"Ah!..."

This body was also Chen Mu, but it was completely different from his original self.

They looked the same, had the same personality, and even the same parents. The only differences were their family backgrounds and life experiences.

The "Chen Mu" of this world was a rich second-generation heir. His parents weren't farmers but entrepreneurs. Chen Mu's family owned a factory that specialized in producing electronic components, small appliances, and even electric toys...

With a factory at home, his family was very well-off. Therefore, the Chen Mu of this world had never suffered hardship.

A while ago, Chen Mu was walking by the sea and saw someone drowning. He impulsively jumped in to save them, but he forgot one crucial thing: he couldn't swim...

Fortunately, the drowning person was rescued, though it caused some trouble. Chen Mu was also rescued, but he remained unconscious until now. It was only now that the "Chen Mu" from another world had his soul merged with the Chen Mu of this world.

"..."

He went to save someone but forgot he couldn't swim?

Was he that foolish?

"So, this world I'm in is actually a movie world?"

Chen Mu threw off the covers and got out of bed. He stood by the window, looking at the bustling street outside, his expression filled with struggle.

Two worlds, two Chen Mus, two sets of memories intertwined in his mind, giving Chen Mu a headache.

"No, this world is real! At least, it's real to me!"

Recalling the events from the Marvel movies, Chen Mu took a deep breath. This world was even more exciting than he had imagined!

Of course, it was also full of danger!

In the future, Thanos would snap his fingers and wipe out half the life in this world. Chen Mu didn't know if he could survive.

Although the Avengers would later bring everyone back, Chen Mu didn't want to leave his fate to chance!

"No matter what, I can't just sit here and wait!"

"System Spirit, tell me, what should I do?"

After a period of struggle and thought, Chen Mu's attention turned to the "Huaqiangbei System."

Merging two versions of himself, this system must have its own unique abilities, right?

Perhaps, he could achieve something with its help!

"You are currently shouldering a great historical mission!"

"What?"

"The great rejuvenation of China in this world requires your leadership."

"..."

Chen Mu's expression turned strange. "Me? Lead China to achieve great rejuvenation?"

"Didn't China already achieve rejuvenation? What can I, a nobody, do?"

"Wait, in this world, China hasn't been rejuvenated!"

Chen Mu suddenly remembered that this was the Marvel World!

China had always been a supporting role, with no superheroes originating from the East, this ancient civilization!
