Happy to be a Dad

"Father..."

Wu Wei was having a dream.

In the dream, he heard someone calling him "Father."

Wu Wei found it strange; he had been single for so many years, not even having a girlfriend, so where could a daughter have come from?

Wait, why was it a daughter?

This question caused Wu Wei to "wake up."

He saw a scene of blood-red color.

Wu Wei shook his head, and his biological knowledge told him that this was the inside of a human body.

What he saw were the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, blood vessels, blood, and so on...

Among all this, there was also a large, transparent bubble.

Inside the bubble was a blurry object, but it was not in the shape of a human.

Wu Wei widened his eyes.

How could he have such a strange dream?

Yes, he knew he was dreaming; this kind of dream is generally called a lucid dream.

A person's brain can control the scenes in the dream, clearly knowing they are in a dream, possessing the thinking and memory capabilities of their waking state; some people can even make the sensations in their dreams feel no different from the real world.

Wu Wei was in exactly that situation now.

"Father."

Wu Wei heard the call again.

He could not remain calm.

Walking toward the bubble, Wu Wei still could not see clearly what was inside.

"Are you the one calling me?"

"Yes, Father."

"What is going on? Who exactly are you?"

Wu Wei was not terrified, but surprise was inevitable.

After smuggling into the Dark Web, Wu Wei's understanding of the world had deepened, and he had learned about things ordinary people did not know.

However, even on the Dark Web, he had never heard of such a thing happening.

"Father, you are an Awakened, and I am the ability you awakened. However, I am still very weak right now and need your help to grow."

"Defeating Li Long allowed you to successfully awaken your ability, and it also allowed me to start growing. As long as you gather 10 people like Li Long and suppress them, I will be able to fully manifest. A friendly tip: if you can kill them, I will grow even faster."

Wu Wei's brain stalled for a moment.

"I understand every word you say, but when you put them together, I don't understand at all."

"Father, there are many unstable factors in the world, and I am responsible for eliminating them so that the world can continue to operate stably. As long as I can successfully manifest, I will be their natural enemy."

"...??? What are you going to use to eliminate them?"

"Because you, Father, set this program for me. My innate skill, Light of 404, annihilates all disharmonious things. Under the shroud of my light, the world will inevitably become prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious, free, equal, just, rule-of-law-abiding, patriotic, dedicated, honest, and friendly."

Wu Wei: "Your survival instinct is incredibly strong, but when did I become so awesome?"

"This is your talent, subjectively set by you. You forgot, but you have actually had many such fantasies."

Wu Wei was stunned upon hearing this.

Indeed, after browsing the Dark Web, Wu Wei had learned about many strange people and events, witnessing another spectacular world.

At the same time, he had also deeply felt a sense of crisis.

Compared to those people, ordinary people were indeed too fragile.

Even if his brain was sharp, what could he do in the face of absolute force?

Therefore, Wu Wei had thought about how great it would be if he could also possess superpowers.

At the time, what he had imagined was an extraordinary ability that could suppress all other extraordinary abilities—a setting to suppress all disharmonious factors and allow the world to proceed in a stable and orderly manner.

However, that was just a thought; Wu Wei never imagined that he would inexplicably create this thing.

"Because of Li Long, you appeared?"

"Yes, Father. I need disharmonious factors to grow, and Li Long belongs to that category. The more disharmonious things you suppress, the faster I will grow. Once I manifest, I will help you save the world, Father."

Wu Wei indicated that he had no intention of saving the world.

However, this "daughter" who had suddenly popped up seemed truly formidable.

An Awakened, huh?

He hadn't expected that the talent evolution he had only just seen on the Dark Web would actually happen to him.

"What abilities do you have right now?"

"Father, I need you to suppress ten discordant things before I can be birthed and truly function."

"What counts as suppressing discordant things? Does thwarting Li Long's scheme like I did this time count? That seems simple enough."

"No, Father. Only by completely suppressing them, leaving them with no power to resist, or causing their deaths, does it count as a successful experience point."

"Then what about Li Long? I don't think I completely killed him, did I?"

"Uh, Father, my birth progress is already at 1/10, which means Li Long is definitely finished."

Wu Wei was stunned.

Was Li Long really that unlucky? Did he hit the jackpot on the first try?

That shouldn't be possible, right?

At this moment, Wu Wei still did not know the true background of Qian Ruoyun.

His thoughts were focused more on this inexplicable daughter of his.

"What... exactly are you?"

"Whatever Father says I am, that is what I am." The daughter was clearly very obedient.

Wu Wei, a "cuckold" who was still a virgin but had suddenly become a father, found it hard to put into words.

"What do you mean by 'birthed'?"

"I was created by you, Father, nurtured by your heart's blood, so naturally, I am your daughter. However, I am not human. After a successful birth, I will likely only exist in your brain in the form of electronic data, much like an engine system is to a car."

"A system?" Wu Wei frowned.

"Thank you for bestowing the name upon me, Father."

Wu Wei: "...I didn't bestow a name upon you."

"Did you not? But I think the name 'System' fits my positioning perfectly. I could be called the Harmony System, or the 404 System. How pleasant that sounds," the daughter said happily.

Wu Wei was full of question marks.

How was that pleasant?

Was there something wrong with his aesthetic sense?

However, Harmony System? 404 System? Come to think of it, they really did suit her quite well.

"If you like those names, then just use them. But I'll give you a personal name anyway. My name is Wu Wei, and you must share my surname, so let's call you Wu Xie."

"Very well, Father."

At this moment, no one realized that the Lord of Systems and his first system—the future most powerful system, the River Crab Divine Beast—had officially come online this day, opening a new chapter for the universe.

Of course, with the exception of those who have read Liangxin Jiang's previous book, Anti-Routine Quick Transmigration; they already knew. For those who haven't read it, you can go check it out. It is absolutely a good book, highly recommended.
