The Pursuit of Thrills

"My name is Li Qing. I'm twenty-three years old and an ordinary citizen from Dragon Country."

"Male, I like women. I don't smoke or drink. I've got looks and a body, and no bad habits."

"My only flaw is..."

"I was born without the concept of fear. I always seek thrills and enjoy a life of high difficulty."

"Oh,"

"Are you wondering what a life of high difficulty means to me?"

"Let me give you an example:"

"In high school, classes started at 7 AM, but I absolutely had to wake up at 6:50."

"It wasn't to be lazy, it was to savor that youthful passion of racing against time."

"After graduating high school, I was still playing games in an internet cafe the day before the college entrance exam."

"It wasn't because I was addicted to games, it was to forget less information and experience the romantic thrill of challenging unknown limits."

"Later, in college, I was still the same:"

"Every semester, I barely attended lectures, only picking up my books to 'review' two days before the exam."

"Ai ai ai,"

"Uncle, please don't look at me like that."

"This isn't decadence, it's challenging the highest difficulty life mode."

"After graduating college, I continued to do as I pleased, constantly soaring against the wind in my work, until my boss, who could no longer tolerate it, clipped my wings."

"Everyone said I was asking for trouble, but they didn't know:"

"A life with challenges is the only one with meaning; only challenging modes yield rewards."

"Through years of experiencing this high-difficulty life, I've already become an enviable winner in life, thanks to my unflappable mindset, unwavering will, fearless courage, and the few million RMB my dad casually gave me."

"Sigh,"

"I've worked so hard to increase the difficulty, yet life is still too easy."

"There's nothing I can do, I can only seek thrills in the virtual world."

"Take League of Legends for example. If I don't gift the enemy two kills at the start, I'm too lazy to play the game."

"This is perfect timing:"

"Some idiot instantly picked Yasuo, and my teammates were already fighting during the pick phase. I don't even need to gift kills to play a losing game."

"I was quite happy, but I never expected—"

"Just as I finished picking my hero, a mysterious voice suddenly appeared in my mind—it told me:"

"You're about to transmigrate."

"You're going to the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to play a live-action RPG with a League of Legends theme."

"My heavens,"

"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?"

"That thing has such a bizarre art style, I only watched two episodes on Bilibili!!"

"Which part of JoJo was that? Oh, right. The fifth part, Golden Wind."

"If they want me to play a game, can't they pick a theme I'm interested in?"

"It's not that I dislike playing games, it's just that I don't like being forced to do things."

"But that thing called 'System' wouldn't listen at all. Not only did it not allow me to offer suggestions, it directly pulled me from Earth and threw me into this unfamiliar manga world!"

"Five minutes ago, I was still playing computer games in a residential area in an inland city in Dragon Country."

"Five minutes later, I inexplicably appeared in this other world, in a street-facing inn whose location I had no idea about."

"This room is disgustingly dirty, reeking as if someone just died here."

"With this smell... tsk tsk, I can barely breathe."

"You tell me, what kind of mess is this..."

"They send me to another world to play games, but don't even give me a cleaner 'starting point'."

"Enough!!"

Amor impatiently interrupted the rambling of the bald young man in front of him. He pointed at the man's gleaming, smooth scalp and shouted sternly:

"Baldy!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Baldy?"

Li Qing's face immediately darkened:

"You bastard! Who are you calling baldy!"

He touched his slippery, bald head and said regretfully:

"I used to be a handsome youth with a full head of hair. But just now, after I picked my hero."

"I went bald."

"However."

Li Qing patted the eight-pack abs that he hadn't had a few minutes ago but had suddenly appeared after picking his hero:

"I seem to have gotten stronger too."

"Don't be scared, old man. I haven't gotten that strong, not to a superhuman level."

He tried clenching his fist and showing off his freshly made biceps:

"I don't think I'm as strong as Captain America. I'm barely... a special forces king?"

"Shut up!"

Amor's face darkened, and he couldn't help but lose his temper:

This bald guy in front of him was just too talkative.

He really wanted to kill him.

Calm down, I need to calm down.

The bald guy was facing him and his four menacing lackeys alone, yet he didn't seem scared. Instead, he was talking nonsense by himself.

Clearly, the opponent had some sort of backing.

So, what was this backing?

Amor carefully adjusted his breathing, a deep sense of vigilance growing in his eyes:

This bald guy had just suddenly appeared in this sealed-off room as if he possessed some kind of instant teleportation ability.

Was that incredible sight an illusion?

No.

He and his four lackeys had all witnessed that scene. It couldn't have been an illusion.

If it wasn't an illusion, then it must be...

A Stand attack!

Amor's expression turned serious, filled with lingering fear.

Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run. He'd been in this superpower crime organization for over ten years and had even had the fortune to witness Stand Users in action.

Ordinary people couldn't see Stands, which were made of spiritual energy, but they could see the various bizarre and terrifying phenomena caused by Stand abilities.

Therefore, whenever anything inexplicable and wondrous happened around him, Amor would subconsciously attribute it to the legendary Stand attacks.

"Are you a Stand User?"

Amor asked cautiously.

"Stand User?"

Li Qing frowned and answered honestly:

"No, I'm not."

"Didn't I tell you? I'm just an ordinary citizen from Dragon Country."

"Impossible!"

Facing the other party's "insincere" reply, Amor's hostility intensified:

"Not to mention how you appeared here just now..."

"As an ordinary citizen of Dragon Country, how could you speak such authentic Italian?!"

"Nani?!"

Li Qing was startled:

"Bro, are you messing with me?"

"I'm speaking Italian right now?"

"That's right."

Amor frowned and replied seriously:

"Pure Italian, with a local accent from Sicily."

"Hmm..."

Li Qing muttered to himself in shock:

"I thought all foreigners spoke Mandarin. So, it was the 'System' that automatically translated for me?"

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

"I didn't expect this game to come with a Chinese localization..."

"Enough!"

Seeing that Li Qing was about to fall into his usual rambling state, Amor couldn't take it anymore:

"Baldy, what do you actually want to say!"

"This..."

Li Qing scratched his head, his expression suddenly turning serious:

"After all I've said, what I really wanted to tell you is—"

"I'm just an ordinary citizen who inexplicably ended up here, and I truly mean no harm."

"So, big brother, you guys..."

Gazing at the dark muzzles pointed at him, he shrugged helplessly:

"Can you stop pointing your guns at me?"
