"How come even scammers are pulling this kind of stunt these days?"

Yao Lan stared at the webpage that had suddenly popped up on his computer, his lips slightly parted in speechless disbelief. He had been about to say something, but quickly swallowed the words.

He had heard plenty of scam tactics and seen quite a few as well. There were all sorts of tricks out there, but he had never expected something this fake to happen to him, especially in this form.

"Transmigration Notice"

The webpage looked utterly ordinary: black text on a white background, stark and simple. But...

Couldn't this guy even be bothered to add some decoration?

"Things are so competitive these days. Even if you're trying to scam someone, at least put some effort into it. Why else would I fall for it?"

He had opened the page out of curiosity, but Yao Lan still felt completely speechless.

The person who made this notice was truly consistent inside and out. Apart from the title, "Transmigration Notice," there was only a world to transmigrate to and an ability to choose...

It was basically like writing a dozen words on an A4 sheet and drawing a few lines beneath them. It couldn't have looked any faker.

"Must be a newbie. Otherwise, there's no way they'd make such an unappealing webpage. Fine, I'll play along with you!"

After giving it some thought, Yao Lan figured out what was going on. But his hands did not stop moving. He clicked the "Transmigration World" field and typed three words without hesitation.

Sewer!

After all, he did not believe this Transmigration Notice was real in the slightest. He was just filling it out for fun, so he might as well write whatever he wanted.

Then he looked at the "Choose Ability" field. A game he had been playing recently happened to have a word with "road" in it too.

Railroad!

"If I fill it out like this, it should be pretty interesting, right? I wonder if the rookie behind this webpage can understand what I mean."

Through the pure white webpage before him, Yao Lan seemed to see the person behind it wearing a headache-inducing expression. After all, anyone who did not understand both terms would never know what he meant.

Just thinking about it made him feel delighted.

"Still, I only filled this out for fun. There's no way I'm paying for anything... Huh? Why didn't a payment page pop up?"

The moment he casually clicked confirm, something Yao Lan had not expected happened.

The expected payment page did not appear. Instead, the screen went black!

What was going on?

Could his computer be broken?

Yao Lan instinctively used the old method and slapped the computer case. But what happened next made his eyes widen.

The pitch-black screen suddenly lit up. Yet what appeared before him was neither the Transmigration Notice interface nor his original desktop, but countless letters and numbers wildly streaming across the screen.

In an instant, Yao Lan understood this guy's ultimate goal.

"I'm cooked! They're not after my money—they're after the data on my computer!"

If he had merely been scammed out of some money, he would have only cursed a few times. But if the contents of his computer got leaked, Yao Lan did not even know what terrifying things might happen!

Image data, game data, movie data, and more... At the thought of his family and friends looking at him with disgust more obvious than frog piss, Yao Lan's brain began trembling uncontrollably.

I've never seen such a vicious scammer!

First, they pretended to be some clueless newbie, making me think they were weak and not worth mentioning. Then, while I let my guard down, they stole the data from my computer?

Damn! They're so skilled at using the Thirty-Six Stratagems?

Feign weakness before the enemy, deceive heaven to cross the sea, then strike directly at Shu Han?

However, just as Yao Lan cursed and prepared to show off his skills by seizing back control of his computer, his hand froze in midair. What appeared before him had completely surpassed his understanding.

The previously unremarkable screen that displayed nothing but garbled characters rippled like disturbed water. Then a translucent hand shot out from it, grabbed Yao Lan by the collar, and dragged him into the computer screen.

The entire process took less than a second. Before Yao Lan even had time to react, he vanished from where he stood.

Feeling letters and numbers flashing past around him at incredible speed, and his consciousness gradually fading, Yao Lan could only use the last of his strength to complain...

"Don't go pulling The Ring on me... I'm not Sadako..."

At the same time, a completely emotionless voice sounded out. It was a mechanical voice impossible to identify as male or female, but Yao Lan could no longer hear it.

"Transmigration successfully executed. Ability granted. Have a pleasant journey."

Cold. Shaking...

The moment he woke up, Yao Lan sprang up from the ground in a kip-up and warily surveyed his surroundings.

Sunshine, beach, waves... No cacti and no old sea captain. Simply put, he was on a beach.

The scene before he lost consciousness remained vivid in his mind. Yao Lan knew perfectly well that it could not have been a kidnapping, because that was not something that could exist in the real world!

If someone possessed the power to pull people out of computers, who would lower themselves to something like kidnapping?

And in a daze, Yao Lan sensed that something seemed to have appeared inside his body...

He could not say exactly what it was, but Yao Lan felt filled with strength. It seemed entirely possible for him to shatter a boulder with one punch. Combining that with everything that had happened before, he quickly sorted out the whole situation...

"I transmigrated?"

That was the most likely possibility. Transmigration novels were everywhere these days. One more person like him would not make a difference, and one less would not matter either... It was not that strange, was it?

"Congratulations, Host. You guessed correctly."

Sure enough, after Yao Lan figured out his current situation, the emotionless mechanical voice appeared in his mind and confirmed his thoughts.

"You're a system?"

Yao Lan looked around and only began speaking with the system in his mind after confirming that no one was nearby.

"If you really are a system, then that means... that Transmigration Notice was real?"

"Yes, Host."

"Based on the information filled out on the Transmigration Notice, the system has fulfilled your transmigration request and granted you the ability you desired."

"And I will serve as your support system, helping you understand and use your ability."

So he really had transmigrated...

After confirming his situation, Yao Lan's first reaction was not happiness, but regret.

What a loss... What a huge loss!

If he had known the Transmigration Notice was real, how could he possibly have filled it out so carelessly?

New author, new book!

Hope everyone will support it!
