Highlight the key points?

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, baking the earth. Even though it was already the end of August, the sweltering summer was still unleashing waves of residual heat.

A breeze blew by, yet it brought little relief to the people. It swept through the bustling Jiangbin City and drifted into a residential house in the DC District.

"Ugh." The young man slumped over the computer desk rubbed his head, opened his dazed eyes, and looked around in confusion.

At this very moment, the standard philosophical trilogy popped into the young man's mind:

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Oh, right, my name is Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao rubbed his head again, grimacing in pain. Eh, my head hurts. He scanned his surroundings. Whose room was this? Was this a pigsty? Clothes were discarded everywhere, and everywhere there were... well, paper balls?

Goodness, this is a disaster.

Wherever the young man looked, he saw mountains of paper balls piled up in the trash can nearby.

So sloppy?

However, the playful thought in Jiang Xiao's mind vanished the next moment, because he inadvertently caught sight of a slightly swaying figure on the computer screen in front of him.

The figure reflected in the pitch-black computer screensaver was, of course, Jiang Xiao himself.

Jiang Xiao knew that what was presented in the black screen was himself, but... but how could this not-so-blurry image be a child?

Jiang Xiao leaned his face forward in disbelief, and the figure in the black screensaver mimicked the exact same movement.

"Gulp." Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and he cautiously touched the mouse.

The screensaver vanished. On the computer screen, a young man was staring at the monitor with a look of utter shock, his eyes wide and foolish—this was exactly how Jiang Xiao looked right now.

What kind of video software is this? Jiang Xiao blinked. This didn't seem to be a video chat, but rather a recording? Jiang Xiao looked up and spotted a webcam. What was the original owner of this body doing just now? Was he recording a short video?

Clearly, the video was still in the process of recording, which piqued Jiang Xiao's interest.

If the owner of this body had been recording the whole time, did that mean the entire process of his transmigration had been captured?

There's such a perk?

Jiang Xiao hurriedly pressed the stop button and selected the file to play.

After a few seconds of waiting, a slightly youthful face appeared before Jiang Xiao on the computer screen.

A plaid shirt, a crew cut, looking about 15 or 16 years old; he was actually quite handsome.

This clean-cut appearance didn't look like the kind of guy who would throw paper balls all over the floor. "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Xiaopi," the boy in the video finally spoke. "Unfortunately, I have a bit of a cold, so you won't be able to hear my magnetic, god-like voice."

Jiang Xiao: ??? In the video, Jiang Xiaopi casually pulled out a tissue, blew his nose, balled it up, and tossed it onto the floor.

So that's where these paper balls came from.

Jiang Xiao reached out and pulled a tissue from the box on the desk, finally realizing that "he" had a cold.

In the video, the youth calling himself Jiang Xiaopi continued, "I'll say it again, my name is Jiang Xiaopi! Remember this name that will eventually make you revere me for a lifetime!"

"This is my first time opening a Weibo account, because I've discovered that my immense strength no longer allows me to keep a low profile."

Jiang Xiao hurriedly pressed the pause button. Looking at "himself" on the screen, Jiang Xiao suddenly had the urge to beat himself to death.

How did this kid grow up? How has he survived for so many years? Jiang Xiao calmed his mind, steadied himself for a good while, and pressed the play button again.

On the screen, Jiang Xiaopi didn't continue to brag, but instead changed the subject: "Let me briefly introduce myself."

"Well, children always ask their parents where they came from. And parents give all sorts of answers—some say they were picked up from a trash can, some say they were a free gift for topping up a phone plan, and others say they were received as holiday gifts."

Jiang Xiaopi suddenly looked at the camera with extreme seriousness and said, "But I'm even more impressive; I really was picked up from a trash can."

"My mom is a great beauty, gentle and lovely. Her name is Jiang Hongye. Listen to that name, how beautiful! That's a real person's name! Now look at my name, sigh..."

On the screen, Jiang Xiaopi pouted and rambled unhappily, "The day she picked me up, the dog my mom was raising had died. That dog's name was Xiaopi, so I was named... well."

Jiang Xiaopi looked unhappy, but then his eyes lit up as he looked at the camera and said, "Fortunately, that dog was quite cute; it was a golden retriever that loved to smile."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

In the video, Jiang Xiaopi rested his chin on his hand, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Alright, I think you've all remembered my name. Now it's time to express my stance. I am about to enroll in Bincheng High School, and now, I want to tell all the first-year students!"

Jiang Xiao watched the screen with slight anticipation, wondering what on earth this Jiang Xiaopi was going to say.

In the video, Jiang Xiaopi declared, "From today on, I am the big brother of the first years! Anyone who isn't convinced, meet me in the small woods after school! I, Jiang Xiaopi, am telling you all: in the first year, I am the boss!"

"Also!" Jiang Xiaopi pointed at the camera and continued, "Those second and third years, don't think that just because you're older and awakened your abilities a year or two earlier, you can do whatever you want. That school beauty surnamed Xia is already reserved by me; nobody better fight me for her! If you're not convinced, same thing: meet me at the playground or the small woods after school. I, Jiang Xiaopi, have never been afraid of anyone!"

Jiang Xiaopi glared fiercely at the camera, looking "milk-fierce": "I want you all to know that beauties only belong to the strong!"

Jiang Xiao looked at "himself" on the screen—a terminal case of middle-school syndrome—and was completely dumbfounded.

Snap!

In the video, the door behind Jiang Xiaopi suddenly opened, and a graceful figure stepped inside.

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow. Tsk tsk, this girl is truly beautiful.

She was wearing a snow-white nightgown, clearly loungewear; she must live in this house as well.

She looked to be about 17 or 18 years old, with a tall figure and exquisite features. At this moment, however, her beautiful face was covered in frost, and her long black hair swayed with her furious strides.

On the screen, the cold-faced girl kicked aside the paper balls covering the floor and walked quickly behind Jiang Xiaopi, who hadn't noticed her yet and was still bragging and running his mouth.

The girl raised a hand and slapped Jiang Xiaopi on the back of the head!

How satisfying!

Jiang Xiaopi was on the verge of tears, clutching the back of his head with one hand as he turned to look at the girl.

The cold-faced girl had yet to vent all her anger; she glared fiercely at Jiang Xiaopi and said, "Do something productive! Cultivate your Star Power or clean up this room! Stop filming these disgusting videos."

Jiang Xiaopi shouted loudly, "I don't need you to worry about me! Get out! Get lost!"

"Then don't eat!" The girl endured it again and again, speaking in a chilling tone. She turned around, her white nightgown fluttering gently, kicked aside the balls of paper littering the floor with disgust, walked out of the room, and slammed the door shut.

On the screen, Jiang Xiaopi turned his head back, fuming. He slapped the computer desk viciously, then slumped over onto the table. His body was still trembling slightly, and faint sounds of sobbing could be heard.

So emotional? Crying after just being scolded? This mental resilience is a bit low, isn't it?

Jiang Xiao sat before the computer desk, watching the slumped Jiang Xiaopi on the screen. Slowly, those trembling shoulders actually steadied. Did he fall asleep while crying?

A full 20 minutes later, he saw "Jiang Xiaopi" rubbing his head, looking around in a daze.

Was it during this time interval that Jiang Xiao transmigrated? Wow! Amazing! Jiang Xiaopi cried himself to sleep, and I arrived? Did he run into a divine dragon in his dreams and wish to go to another world?

Jiang Xiao rubbed his own head, inheriting Jiang Xiaopi's body, and tried hard to recall the memories in his mind.

This girl seems to be Jiang Xiaopi's sister? Han Jiangxue? The father's surname is Han, so of course, the daughter follows the father's surname.

As for Jiang Xiaopi, he was picked up by their mother, and at the request of the mother, Jiang Hongye, he took the mother's surname.

In Jiang Xiaopi's memories, the parents seemed to have gone on a mission three years ago and never returned.

Hmm? The siblings are dependent on each other? The young miss is as beautiful as a celestial being? No blood relation between the two? Hmm, it's time to highlight the key points.

Highlight my ass. At this moment, Jiang Xiao was completely bewildered; how could he have the heart to highlight key points in that regard?

The point is, Jiang Xiao went from a 25-year-old young man to a 16-year-old youth, from a rookie entering society to a high school student?

And this world. Jiang Xiao moved the mouse cursor to the bottom left corner of the computer, looking at the year and month.

Hmm, there's no difference in time; it's the same as the world Jiang Xiao came from.

But what did those two siblings mean by "Awakened" and "Star Power" just now? Jiang Xiao frowned and carefully recalled Jiang Xiaopi's memories, only to be astonished to discover that this world was not his Earth at all! This was a world filled with magical abilities, magical Awakened, and riddled with Other Dimension Spaces.

Due to the existence of Space Teleportation Gates, this world had huge differences from the Earth where Jiang Xiao originally lived.

Behind those countless Space Teleportation Gates existed all sorts of bizarre worlds, which likewise held all kinds of strange creatures.

What made people feel sad was that the creatures inside the vast majority of Space Teleportation Gates were not friendly.

In the arduous long river of human history, humanity not only faced internal civil wars but also faced the invasion and harassment of creatures from external different dimension environments.

Star Power is a magical energy that came into being alongside the appearance of the Space Gates. This magical energy changed people's Physical Fitness and likewise changed people's lifestyles.

With the appearance of the first batch of Star Power Awakened, humanity, which could previously only use "sturdy ships and sharp cannons" to fight against Different Dimension Creatures, finally had a new choice.

Of course, although new energy poured into Earth and changed the fate of humanity, it did not change the fate of everyone.

In fact, the vast majority of people remained Ordinary People; their bodies could not carry this magical power. Practicing rashly would not only fail to strengthen the body but would instead cause physical damage.

As time passed, humanity's understanding of Star Power deepened, and after constant verification, "16 years old" became the internationally recognized awakening stage.

16 years old is a threshold. At this age, the probability of human awakening is the highest, and it is the best time for artificial intervention in awakening. Too early or too late may cause physical damage to the experimenter.

Of course, there are always some scoundrels! They do things that make both gods and men angry; we call this type of person a "genius."

They don't need to do anything; just suddenly one day, they feel the Star Power that is everywhere on Earth. This is called natural awakening, and their future is limitless.

They might even start their path of awakening at 10, 8, or even 6 years old, having cultivated for several years longer than normal Awakened.

Of course, where is there any so-called fairness in this world? Except for a very small number of heaven-favored children, more people are awakened through external intervention, occupying the vast majority of the Awakened team. Jiang Xiaopi clearly belongs to this type of Awakened.

After 16 years old, with the help of an Awakened, Star Power is guided into the body, thereby starting a career as an Awakened.

But this must be achieved through a strict and formal process; grasping the right measure is a necessary condition for a qualified guide.

There are too, too many people who cannot awaken. They are unwilling, unwilling to accept such a result, and thus try every possible way to achieve their goal, and the final result is usually not very good.

People who force things like this will get hurt or die on this path. In more cases, they not only fail to awaken but instead suffer huge trauma to their own bodies, becoming depressed from then on and turning into a fragile invalid.

Just two months ago, at the final graduation ceremony of the third year of junior high school, more than a dozen Awakened stood in a square formation, helping this batch of children complete their final graduation assessment.

The principal had long been accustomed to enjoying bursts of cheers during his speeches. Of course, even a fool knew that the cheers were not for the principal's long-winded speech, but for those children who had awakened one after another.

That graduation ceremony finally started Jiang Xiaopi's career.

Jiang Xiaopi's body was suitable for cultivating Star Power.

He successfully opened his Star Map!
