Chen Yi's identity on Planet Earth was that of an ordinary employee at Angel International. The company carried considerable weight around the world, and even an ordinary employee received a good salary and benefits.
After living there for over a month, Chen Yi had gradually adjusted. The system had also issued several missions over the past month, and his Gene Awakening Degree had now reached 90%.
That day, Chen Yi headed to work at Angel International as usual. As soon as he arrived downstairs, he heard a loud crash from the top floor. The system suddenly issued a mission:
"Speak with Angel Yan and analyze the current situation on Earth." Mission Reward: Gene Activation Degree +10%
After seeing the System Mission and recalling the loud crash, Chen Yi headed straight for the top floor.
He had just opened the door when he saw an exceptionally beautiful woman sitting in the middle of the conference room, legs crossed. She was saying something to the company's general manager beside her about "darkness drawing near." The woman was Angel Yan.
Angel Yan noticed Chen Yi and scanned his information, unable to hide a flicker of surprise. Seeing him staring at her in a daze, she teased, "Hey, kid! Like what you see?"
"Yeah, you're beautiful," Chen Yi replied without thinking. Only after he said it did he realize how that sounded. He was just about to explain when Yan said with a hint of menace, "Do you know what happens when you offend an angel?" As she spoke, she drew her Sword of Flames.
Seeing Angel Yan draw her Sword of Flames, Chen Yi hurried to explain. "No, that's not what I meant..." Before he could finish, Yan cut in, "Oh? You mean I'm not beautiful?" Her eyes narrowed ominously. "No, no..."
Chen Yi had no idea how to explain himself. It wasn't his fault. Though he had lived three lifetimes, his combined age was still less than a hundred. On top of that, his cold nature meant he had never been in love. Now that he had suddenly encountered an angel who stirred his heart, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
Seeing Chen Yi flustered, Angel Yan stopped teasing him. She stood and walked over to him. "Hey, kid. What do you think of justice?"
Chen Yi didn't understand why Yan had suddenly asked him that. He paused before answering, "Well... justice? It means defending dignity with strength, punishing evildoers with strength, helping the weak with strength, and using strength to protect everything you want to protect." That was what Chen Yi believed, and that was what he said.
Hearing his answer, Yan smiled. "Hey, kid, that does fit with our angels' justice. Still, I hope you'll grow stronger soon. Your Earth is about to be in trouble. The Taotie Civilization is about to invade Planet Earth. I hope you'll protect it well. After all, for now, it still falls under the banner of justice." With that, she turned and left.
After hearing Angel Yan's words, Chen Yi fell into thought. The Taotie are about to invade? Looks like I have to get stronger as soon as possible. Though he had only arrived on this planet a month ago, he had felt how wonderful this world was during that time. He silently resolved to protect this planet.
"Ding! System Mission complete. Activating the host's genes."
"Activating..."
"Ding! Activation successful. The System Store and System Backpack are now unlocked." The system's ethereal voice rang out.
Hearing the system, Chen Yi felt a little calmer. His genes had been activated; this was the beginning of his path to becoming stronger.
Angel Yan, who had just left Planet Earth, suddenly turned around and looked back in the direction she had come from. The corners of her mouth curled upward, then she turned and left.
