Parallel world, Hai City.

In a rented apartment, Su Yang, with a stubbled face, lay on the narrow living room sofa, eyes closed, resting.

He had just resigned from the advertising company he'd worked at for two years that morning.

He was 24 years old, having come from a small city to study at an ordinary university in Hai City.

After graduating from university, he joined a regular advertising company in Hai City.

He stayed there for two years, working countless overtime hours.

From a vibrant, sunny, handsome guy, he had completely transformed into a lifeless workhorse.

His life was a monotonous cycle, a constant repetition of home and work.

He hadn't originally planned to quit. The overall economic environment wasn't great, and his own skills weren't particularly outstanding, making it quite difficult to find a comparable job again.

However, a month of continuous, frantic overtime had left him mentally and physically drained.

He was responsible for the show flat opening of a real estate project. For a whole month, he worked from 9 AM to 3 or 4 AM every day, with no breaks on weekends.

After finally getting through that busy period, he thought he'd have some breathing room. But his boss told him the project was about to officially launch.

Su Yang didn't even think about it; he immediately submitted his resignation. If the show flat opening was this demanding, the official launch would surely lead to his death.

Money or life, he chose the latter without hesitation.

After all, he was only 24. There was no need to risk his life for a salary of six thousand yuan a month.

After resigning from the company and returning home, he started frantically sending out resumes. He had just finished sending out dozens and was now lying on the sofa, feeling a bit tired, eyes closed, resting.

Su Yang squinted, pulled out a cigarette, and placed it in his mouth.

Just as his mind went blank, a mechanical voice sounded in his head.

[Ding! Suitable candidate detected, Enjoy Life System initiating binding.]

His hand, which was about to light the cigarette, suddenly trembled. Su Yang abruptly flipped over and sat up.

—What was that sound?

[System binding... Binding successful.]

[Host: Su Yang]

[Age: 24]

[Height: 180cm]

[Weight: 73kg]

[Appearance: 84]

[Physique: 65 (Normal person 60-70)]

[Physique Management: 70]

[Charm: 70]

[Skills: None]

[Bound Target: None]

[Balance: 6566 yuan]

[This system does not have many complex functions; its main focus is on enjoying life.]

[System usage rules are as follows:]

[1: The host only needs to do more things that enjoy life to receive random system rewards.]

[2: The system has a basic information scanning function, which can scan anyone. After scanning, the host can view the target's basic information and favorability. Note: Favorability is only effective for women whose appearance exceeds 85 points.]

[The host can unilaterally bind with women whose appearance exceeds 85 points. After binding, for every 20 points of favorability the target has towards the host, the host will receive an additional reward.]

[3: The host can perform daily check-ins. Each check-in rewards fifty thousand yuan. The first check-in will receive a generous initial reward.]

[System introduction complete.]

After listening to the system's long speech, Su Yang was completely stunned.

He naturally knew what a system was. After all, he was quite the bookworm, having read web novels since high school.

But he had only ever fantasized about having something like this while reading novels; he never imagined he'd actually possess one.

At first, he thought he was hallucinating, but the system's voice had continued for a full minute.

Su Yang's stunned expression gradually turned to shock, then to excitement.

He tried calling out in his mind.

—System?

[Yes.]

—Holy crap! This is real?!

—I have a system?

He swallowed, standing up in disbelief.

For a moment, he was at a loss, trying to calm his excited heart.

The system's introduction from earlier was still echoing in his mind.

Su Yang took a deep breath. To verify the system's authenticity, he immediately called out in his mind.

"System, can I sign in now?"

[You can sign in once daily]

"Then I'll sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in for the first time. Reward: 10 million yuan in cash, a Porsche 911 Turbos, and the skill: Body Management Master]

[The cash has been transferred to the host's sole bank card. The source of funds is safe, legal, and compliant. The host can use it with confidence. The vehicle has been parked downstairs at the host's residence. All vehicle procedures and documents are complete, and you can drive it with confidence.]

[Body Management Master skill introduction: This skill only shapes the body, allowing the host's physique to reach a perfect state. This skill does not strengthen the function of the body's organs.]

As the system's voice faded, before Su Yang could even celebrate, his entire body suddenly trembled, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.

As he was about to collapse, he quickly reached out to steady himself on the nearby table.

Five to six seconds later, the dizziness subsided.

Su Yang regained his senses and muttered to himself, "Damn it, what happened? I almost died!"

As he spoke, because he was looking down, the changes in his hands immediately caught his eye.

Su Yang raised his hands to examine them closely. They were almost a whole circle thicker than before, and he could clearly feel his clothes becoming a bit tight.

Thinking of something, he rushed into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, Su Yang's expression was dazed.

He saw that the contours of his face in the mirror had become much sharper, and his features were more defined.

His eyes were deep, his nose bridge was high, and even his skin had become incredibly smooth. All the acne scars and blackheads on his face had disappeared.

Already good-looking, he now appeared even more handsome, as if he had been retouched by Photoshop.

Most importantly, it was his physique. Su Yang stared at his toned body in the mirror with a shocked expression.

"Holy crap!! This, this, this!!"

As he spoke, he ripped off his T-shirt, revealing a perfect physique.

It was a body that could rival that of a top athlete, with firm pectoral muscles, perfect shape, and prominent six-pack abs.

The muscle definition on his arms was also very clear, and his entire body looked incredibly well-proportioned, not as bulky as a bodybuilder's.

His weight hadn't changed; it was just that all the excess fat had been converted into muscle on this foundation, as if he had achieved it through years of dedicated training.

The saying "muscular when undressed, slim when dressed" perfectly described it.

"This... is... me?"

Su Yang looked at himself in the mirror, both confused and shocked, momentarily at a loss.

He had been a very ordinary person before, with no muscle definition at all.

Now, he had instantly transformed into someone who looked like a seasoned gym-goer who had trained for at least five to six years.

He raised his hand and touched his body, feeling the real texture of muscle.

"Amazing, even professional athletes aren't much better than this! If I go swimming with this body, I'll drive all those girls crazy!"

"System, oh system, can I call you Father?"

After admiring himself in the mirror for a full two minutes, Su Yang reluctantly returned to the living room.

The drastic physical change had completely convinced him of the system's authenticity.

Back in the living room, a black Porsche car key that had appeared on the table caught his eye.

He slapped his forehead, finally remembering that he had just received 10 million yuan and a 911 Turbos with an on-road price of three million.

He knew that the 911 Turbos had always been one of his dream cars.

A flat-six engine, 650 horsepower, 800 Nm of torque, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds.

Driving this car on the road, he could essentially boast about outperforming 99% of other vehicles.

It was also one of the fastest internal combustion engine cars available in China for under 10 million yuan, not including electric or hybrid vehicles.

Su Yang, still naked, grabbed the car key to examine it.

"Holy crap, it's a real key, not a lighter!"

"This first sign-in reward is too awesome!! Starting with a Turbos!"

"Right, and there's money, 10 million yuan, oh my god, my phone, where's my phone?"

He quickly found his phone on the sofa. As soon as he opened it, he saw an unread text message.

Upon opening it, he saw a company called "Haofang Assets" had transferred 10,000,000 yuan to his bank account ending in 6686, with the balance displayed as: 10,000,000 yuan.

"Hiss!!!"

"Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, ten million!!"

Su Yang stared at his phone screen, counting several times. The more he counted, the more exaggerated his expression became.

After all, this was 10 million. If it were before, with his 6,000 yuan salary, he wouldn't have been able to earn this much in over 100 years, even if he didn't eat or drink.

By then, the grass on his grave would have covered his tomb.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, 10 million was an unattainable number. Without any accidents, it would be very difficult to earn in this lifetime.

Su Yang stared at his phone motionlessly. He swallowed and, still uneasy, opened his bank app to check again.

The balance displayed on the software was also in yuan.

In that instant, he almost went completely mad. He wanted to let out a roar to express his current feelings, but remembering that the soundproofing in this old building was very poor, he forcefully restrained himself.

Su Yang's hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably. His face turned flushed from sheer excitement.

After a few minutes, the trembling of his excited hands finally gradually calmed down.

He slowly stood up, clenching his fists. "Heaven has opened its eyes! I, Su Yang... am finally turning my life around!!"

Just then, his phone rang.

Su Yang picked it up and saw it was an unknown number.

After sliding to answer, a man's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, excuse me, is this Mr. Su Yang?"

"It's me, who is this?"

"This is Hai City Juyuan Advertising Company. I saw your resume on Boss Direct Recruitment that you previously submitted to our company. May I ask when you would be available to come in for an interview?"

Hearing this, Su Yang remembered that he had submitted dozens of resumes before.

Unfortunately, he was no longer the same person he was a few minutes ago. What was the point of going to work? He would never work again in this lifetime, not even a little bit.

"Sorry, I just slipped my hand. That's all, goodbye!"

After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone.

Ten minutes ago, he was still muddle-headed all day, full of confusion about the future, and had to submit resumes to dozens of companies.

If he hadn't obtained the system, he would have eagerly rushed to the interview when that call came.

If he passed, he would have to work tirelessly like an ox or a horse every day.

But now, he felt reborn, no longer needing to do things he didn't want to do.

Looking at the clear sky outside the window, he had sat by the small living room window countless times before, looking forward to the future. Now, looking at it again, he felt as if a light boat had already passed ten thousand mountains.

Although he hadn't earned all of this through his own hard work, it didn't matter.

Wasn't being chosen by the system also a kind of ability?

Knock, knock, knock—

Just as Su Yang was immersed in a wonderful feeling, a sudden knock came from the door.
