[Capturing world coordinates------] [Capture complete! ① Super God Academy ② Magic Continent ③ Gray Mist Realm]
"Super God! I choose Super God! One, one, one! I choose one!" Lin Ran decisively picked the one he preferred.
[Three------two------one------initiating transfer!] [Transferred to the Super God Academy world! Randomly selecting a possession target!]
Lin Ran's vision went white. The next instant, he had arrived in the world of Super God Academy. Looking at the possession target System had picked for him, he really wanted to punch System.
[The host may spend Origin Points to create a body of his own.]
"Oh? Now that has potential!"
Lin Ran looked over the options System provided. A body created with one million Origin Points could be upgraded to a fourth generation god body, while one created with three million could be upgraded to a fifth generation god body.
"Max it out! Go straight to the max!" Lin Ran immediately spent fifteen million Origin Points to create a body that could be upgraded to a ninth generation god body.
Then he spent another twenty million Origin Points to create a gene system according to his own ideas, naming it Azure Heaven! As for a Knowledge Vault, System threw one in for free, but it was an empty shell that he would have to fill himself.
[Cangtian Gene System construction complete!] [Divine Abyss Knowledge Vault construction complete!] [Issuing main quest------]
Lin Ran had been about to work on a few more things, but unexpectedly, System had already sent him to Juxia City. And so, the bustling street gained one homeless man!
Lin Ran looked at the main quest System had issued. It actually required him to hunt down five Void King Beasts! One glance was enough to tell him this quest would be no simple matter. After all, in the world of Super God Academy, the void was linked to ultimate fear. Who knew how many civilizations had perished at its hands? But none of that was the most pressing issue!
"System! You didn't get me an ID card! I'm undocumented! If I get caught, they'll haul me down to the station!"
[The system believes the host can resolve these matters perfectly. Moreover, the main storyline will begin soon. The Light of the Sun, Di Rena, will descend upon Earth in one week! The host will then be able to activate the Cangtian Gene System.]
"Gotcha! So in a week, I'll be taking off!" Lin Ran rubbed his hands excitedly. Clearly, he had great confidence in the gene system he had spent a fortune creating.
"Oh, right, System. What about that lottery draw of mine? Use it!"
[Congratulations to the host on drawing one Super Dark Matter Computer! (Not activated)]
"System, how does this computer of mine compare to the Great Clock?"
[The Great Clock is a Celestial Computer of the main world and is fundamentally different from the Super Dark Matter Computer, so they cannot be compared. However, the host's Super Dark Matter Computer can crush Deno Three.]
"Deno Three is an antique. If it couldn't even beat that, it'd be way too trash!"
Night fell, and Lin Ran sat helplessly by the roadside. Damn it, I'd believed System, but now I'm undocumented! Where am I supposed to find somewhere to stay? Am I really going to sleep under a bridge? Now that's something I know about! He had watched plenty of those under-the-bridge livestreamers before! Every time it poured, they crawled under a bridge!
Just as Lin Ran's thoughts were running wild, a pair of fair, beautiful legs stopped in front of him. He froze. What's going on? Am I hallucinating?
Lin Ran blinked. The beautiful legs were still there! So he shakily reached out a hand. Just as he was about to touch them, he received a knock on the head.
"Ow!" Clutching his head, Lin Ran looked up at the owner of those beautiful legs. A high ponytail and a police uniform-wasn't this Qilin?
"Pervert! What are you doing sitting here? Picking a target so you can follow some pretty girl?" Qilin demanded, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger. This filthy pervert had even tried to touch my legs just now!
"It's a misunderstanding! I'm just homeless, and I don't have any money on me, so I've ended up on the streets."
"Really? Take out your ID and let me see!"
"Gone. Everything's gone! My money and ID are both gone!"
"Were you robbed?"
"Uh-if you want to think of it that way, that's fine too."
"All right. You don't look like a bad person to me. Come with me. You can stay at my place tonight, then go to the police station tomorrow evening to give a statement. Do you remember what the people who robbed you looked like?"
"No, not at all! I didn't see their faces." Lin Ran hurriedly came up with an excuse. Wouldn't he be screwed if she made him go to the police station? He didn't want to spend the next few days eating prison food.
Lin Ran climbed onto Qilin's little electric scooter. Seeing that he didn't take the opportunity to put his arms around her waist or anything, Qilin couldn't help ruling out the possibility that he was a lecher.
Over dinner, Lin Ran truly had no answers to any of Qilin's questions.
"You're a grown man, yet you don't know anything! Did you fall out of the sky or something?"
"Couldn't I have sprung out of a rock?" Lin Ran muttered.
"Who do you think you are, Sun Wukong?" Qilin rolled her eyes at him in exasperation.
"Um, Qilin, I really have run into some trouble. Could you let me stay here for a while? Don't worry, I won't stay for free! I'll cook and do the housework!"
"Can you cook?"
"Who are you looking down on? I'll show you what I can do tomorrow!"
After dinner, Qilin made up a bed for Lin Ran. Amid his profuse thanks, she returned to her own room. Lin Ran let out a long breath and lay on the bed, considering his plans for this world.
Originally, he had planned to use overwhelming strength to crush the main cast, the angels, the demons, and the rest, but reality was rather bony. His god body had to be upgraded from scratch. Besides, now that he had met Qilin, he decided to join the main cast alongside her. He wanted to protect this kindhearted young policewoman. Of course, that had absolutely nothing to do with those beautiful legs!
For now, Lin Ran could only take things one step at a time. Early the next morning, Qilin woke him up.
"Getting up this late-if I waited to eat your cooking, wouldn't I be late?"
"Uh-sorry. Wait a moment, I'll go cook for you right now. What do you want to eat?"
Lin Ran hurried off to wash his hands, then got busy making breakfast in the kitchen, frying an egg for Qilin and preparing a bowl of millet porridge.
Qilin blew on the porridge and took a sip, immediately seeing Lin Ran in a new light.
"I never would've guessed a grown man like you could cook so well. You can stay here for now, then. I'll leave you some money so you can buy groceries at the nearby supermarket. Oh, right, was your phone stolen too?"
"Yeah, it was."
"There's an old phone I replaced in that drawer. It still works. If you don't mind, make do with it for now. The Wi-Fi password is *********."
"Okay, thanks!"
After seeing Qilin out, Lin Ran took out her old phone. It even had cartoon stickers on it; one look was enough to tell it belonged to a girl.
Lin Ran turned on the phone, plugged it in to charge, and searched online for information about this world. A little after four in the afternoon, he shut the door and went to the nearby supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruit, along with a kilo of crayfish! After returning home, he got busy making dinner. Qilin got off work at six thirty, so she should arrive home around seven thirty.
Sure enough, a little after seven twenty, Qilin opened the door and looked at the lavish dinner on the table in delighted surprise.
"You made all this? You're that good?"
"I'm all right. All the crayfish we can eat today! Go wash your hands and sit down to eat."
While Qilin washed her hands, Lin Ran opened a bottle of beer for her. Once she sat down, she eyed him suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I didn't drug it! Assaulting a police officer is a serious crime. I'm already homeless. If I ended up wanted too, wouldn't I have nowhere to run?"
"That's true."
Lin Ran clinked bottles with Qilin, and both thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Qilin drank until she was a little tipsy, her cheeks flushed. Lin Ran got her some hot water, then helped her to her bed before returning to his own room to lie down and sleep. He was feeling woozy from the alcohol too. Right now, this body was no different from an ordinary person's.
