Tianhe City's Xiajiu Commercial Pedestrian Street
The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew.
Ye Yang walked out of Juxia Real Estate Agency Company carrying a cardboard box full of odds and ends.
His handsome, refined face was filled with the gloomy look of someone who had given up on life.
"Ah~ It's already been a month since I crossed into this world, and I've been fired from three jobs. Life is so hard."
Ye Yang shook his head.
He carried the box toward his little electric scooter parked by the roadside.
At first,
Ye Yang had been terrified when he discovered that he had crossed into another world.
But after a month, he realized that this world was no different from his previous one, apart from the different names of some cities.
He was still an office drone who wasn't good at working and spent his days slacking off.
None of his jobs had lasted more than ten days.
It wasn't that Ye Yang was truly incompetent.
Rather, his personality made him indifferent to everything and invested in nothing.
He was even indifferent to the tasks assigned to him at work.
So hardly any company could tolerate someone like Ye Yang.
However, Ye Yang had no intention of changing.
After all, something as absurd as crossing into another world had happened to him.
As a transmigrator, working for a living was already embarrassing enough.
Making him work hard was even more impossible.
"Hello, sir. We're from the Approaching Science program. What are your thoughts on the increasingly frequent attacks by bizarre creatures on human cities?"
Suddenly,
A microphone was shoved against Ye Yang's cheek.
Its owner was a female outdoor host.
Ye Yang frowned instinctively.
He glanced at her and at the camera slung over the cameraman's shoulder.
He pushed the impolite microphone aside with one hand.
"No thoughts. It doesn't affect my two-thousand-yuan monthly salary at all. Bye-bye."
After Ye Yang finished speaking,
He was just about to leave.
The female host seemed to find Ye Yang's answer interesting.
She immediately stopped him again and asked mischievously:
"A two-thousand-yuan salary? How do you survive in Tianhe City? Do you know how much property in the outskirts of Tianhe City costs per square meter now? Were you fired? Can you share your story?"
The female host was an experienced media professional.
She knew that these questions struck a nerve with countless young people.
That could also earn her considerable traffic and ratings.
"Ah~ I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now. I just want to eat some hotpot, then go home and watch an episode of my favorite anime."
Ye Yang sighed.
With his dull sensitivity, Ye Yang failed to catch the meaning behind the female host's words.
That made her feel that he was deliberately avoiding the questions.
She immediately launched into a barrage of questions and admonishments:
"Young man, you need to work hard! If all young people were as complacent as you, how would our society prosper and grow stronger? Young people should strive and struggle. You need a girlfriend, right? You need to prepare a bride price, right? You need to buy a house and a car, right? You need to prepare a child-raising fund, right?"
Ye Yang scratched his head while holding the cardboard box, looking every bit like a lazy fish.
"Why do I have to prepare all that? What is the woman doing? Doesn't she have to prepare anything?"
"I'm not interested in getting married or anything. I work alone, live alone, eat hotpot alone, and watch anime alone. No one nags me, so it's pretty comfortable."
The female host was dumbfounded.
She had never expected this young man to hold such views.
After all, in today's society, there were more men than women.
Countless men and their families were willing to empty the wallets of two or even three generations just to marry a wife and buy a house.
This young man's thinking was far too dangerous!
It had to be corrected!
"As a man, don't you want to have children and carry on your family line? If you don't find a girlfriend, won't your parents urge you to?"
The female host looked like a rat whose tail had been stepped on.
A flush spread across her cheeks.
She pressed him with sharp questions.
But Ye Yang still wore that apathetic expression and shook his head.
"Not interested. I'm not interested in anything. If possible, I just want to stay peacefully at home, play some games, eat some hotpot, and binge-watch some shows."
The moment he finished speaking,
A tremendous explosive boom resounded from the Sky Dome.
Even the pedestrians throughout the commercial street looked up at the sky.
Immediately afterward,
Ye Yang noticed countless pedestrians on the bustling commercial street running around in panic and screaming.
"W-what's going on?!"
"What happened?"
The sudden change sent the female host and cameraman into a panic where they stood.
Especially when they saw the panicked pedestrians running around them, both their faces turned deathly pale.
"Sister You! Could it be those Mecha aliens that attacked the airport road last night?"
The cameraman spoke in a trembling voice, his face filled with terror.
Upon hearing that,
Sister You panicked as well.
"Quick! Let's hide first! If we really run into those aliens, we're done for!"
Sister You's pretty face was deathly pale.
She dragged the cameraman toward the shops by the roadside, forgetting all about Ye Yang, who remained standing there.
Seeing this,
Ye Yang also stood calmly where he was.
He seemed completely out of place in this world.
After all, he was a transmigrator, and his personality was as lazy as a fish's. He simply felt nothing about anything that happened in this world.
Even the fear that ordinary people should have seemed to have disappeared from him.
Just as Ye Yang turned around and prepared to leave,
A huge black shadow descended from the sky and enveloped him.
"Hm?"
Ye Yang looked up and let out a puzzled sound.
The next second,
With a thunderous crash,
The huge black shadow slammed into the street less than a meter from Ye Yang.
Stones flew everywhere.
Dust billowed.
The entire street trembled.
The stones carried by the powerful shock wave pierced through and shattered the windows of the shops on both sides.
Some of the people still on the street, including Ye Yang,
Were sent flying more than ten meters by the blast.
Like Tom the cat, he slammed into a wall before falling back to the ground.
In a world of pure white,
Ye Yang awoke.
"Where is this? Did I cross over again? Was I killed by that monstrous thing that fell on me?"
He looked around.
Everything was pure white and boundless, without the slightest flaw in sight.
"Ding! The Complete Simulation System is binding itself to the host!"
"System binding successful!"
A mechanical female voice suddenly echoed through the pure-white space.
Ye Yang instinctively looked around.
"What the hell? A system?"
As a transmigrator,
Ye Yang had absorbed plenty of internet culture in his previous life.
Naturally, he knew that a system was standard equipment for every transmigrator.
But what the hell was this Complete Simulation System?
"This system can allow the host to simulate the form of any fictional character from his memories."
"The system is searching the host's memories and sorting them: Hollowfication, Tailed Beast Transformation, Viral Transformation, Elemental Transformation, Shinigami Transformation, Sage Mode, Six Paths Mode, Silver Superman Mode, Super Saiyan God Mode."
"You only need to silently recite [Complete Simulation] before using it, then select the remembered character in your mind."
Holy crap?!
After Ye Yang heard the system's introduction,
His heart was deeply shaken.
This system was way too awesome!
It could let him take on so many forms from his memories!
It seemed his future life wouldn't be as boring as before.
"The system has detected that the host's physical body has suffered severe damage. The system is rewarding the host with one full-health revival and raising the host's overall physical abilities to the pinnacle of humanity."
As the final words of the mechanical system voice faded,
Ye Yang's five senses gradually regained their awareness of the outside world.
"He's alive? He's alive?!"
"S-send so much food!!!"
"Ow~~~ Let me rest, let me rest~ I'm exhausted~"
In the middle of the commercial street,
A long-tailed crocodile wearing battle armor and covered in crimson scales swayed as it stood upright.
It supported itself with both hands on its knees and panted.
The surrounding onlookers, along with the female reporter hiding inside a roadside shop,
Were all so frightened that they covered their mouths, their eyes filled with terror.
Even so, quite a few people subconsciously stopped, pulled out their phones, and began filming.
"Holy crap, it's an alien!"
"An alien in the shape of a crocodile! Folks on my feed, look! It fell from the sky!"
"That's incredible!"
"Call the police! This guy might be here to invade us too, just like the giant Mecha alien on the airport road last night!"
"So delicious, hahaha! I'll eat a few to whet my appetite!"
After Suo Dun finished resting,
His clear yet foolish eyes turned toward the crowd.
As luck would have it,
His gaze locked onto the person standing closest to him,
Ye Yang, who had just risen from the ground and was dusting himself off.
"Hehehe~ It's been so long since I've had meat!"
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
Suo Dun's enormous body ran toward Ye Yang like a human.
His long tail swung behind him, and his long, flat crocodile jaws, lined with sharp teeth, hung wide open.
"Kid! Run!"
A middle-aged police officer holding a firearm shouted from within the crowd.
At that moment, the pedestrians all imagined Ye Yang being torn apart until he was nothing but a bloody mess.
"Film it!"
Sister You subconsciously ordered the cameraman beside her to record the scene.
The next second,
Ye Yang looked at the monstrous crocodile charging at him.
He stopped dusting off his clothes.
Without the slightest fear, he slipped both hands back into his pockets.
His calm eyes stared straight at Crocodile God Soton as he asked mildly:
"You. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
