"Damn it, what the hell is going on? Sis, where is this? Don't tell me this is Feiliu District in Juxia City!!!"
Still somewhat uncertain, Long Qian turned to Qi Lin and asked with a very serious expression.
It was too much of a coincidence—so much so that he found it hard to accept.
"You know where this is, so hurry up and run toward the city! Why is a civilian like you joining in the chaos?!"
Qi Lin had momentarily forgotten what had happened earlier and shouted angrily at Long Qian.
He knew, yet he still had not run? Was he coming over to die?
"Fuck, I..."
Once he got confirmation, Long Qian nearly lost his mind. For a moment, he had no idea what to do. His legs had gone weak, let alone being able to run.
His mind was not working properly right now. He truly did not know how to describe how he felt.
He had transmigrated? He had just played a few games and made a few vows, and then he transmigrated???
What idiot wanted to transmigrate? He had a car and a house—both bought on loans—but that still made him a proper winner in life! Why did he have to transmigrate and suffer through this misery?
Transmigration was just the fantasy of a bunch of washed-up webnovel authors. Who would be so full of themselves that they wanted to transmigrate? He was not part of some Tomato Orphanage protagonist squad. He was just an ordinary civilian, a happy working stiff.
Besides, was transmigration really this casual these days?
Weren't the protagonists of transmigration novels all sent there by trucks?
So why the hell had he transmigrated just from playing a game? It was so damn sloppy. There had not even been any plot buildup.
Most importantly, he seemed unable to remember the plot of this Chinese anime anymore. It had been far too long ago for him—many years ago.
Back in college, he had liked watching it. He had even liked cuddling with his ex-girlfriend while watching it. But later, the updates became slow, and the story fell apart more and more as it went on, so he lost interest.
He only occasionally came across videos about the protagonist group while scrolling through Douyin.
Of course, the one he paid the most attention to was Angel Yan—his Queen Yan.
Because Queen Yan had captured his heart, his ex-girlfriend had even cosplayed her several times.
But that was useless now. It was true that he liked Angel Yan, and it was true that he liked angels, but he had never wanted to die.
This world really had monsters, demons, and angels. People really died here.
He was just an ordinary, average person. How could he possibly survive in a world where gods and demons coexisted?
Or rather, how could he find a way home?
He wanted to go home. His parents were still waiting for him to come back for dinner. His best buddies were still waiting to queue up with him. He even had dates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!!!
"I don't want to die here. Heaven, please, spare me just this once. Let me go. I swear I'll never make reckless vows again. Let me go back, and I'll turn over a new leaf. I'll work hard and make money. I'll even build you a villa."
Long Qian prayed silently in his heart. He was truly scared. He truly wanted to go home.
"What are you muttering about? Watch out, run!!!"
Suddenly, several blue lasers shot directly beside them. The police car that had been serving as their cover was sent flying by the explosion.
Qi Lin saw that Long Qian was not moving at all. Instead, he was muttering to himself, praying one moment and suffering the next, like a lunatic.
Ordinary people who had never seen something like this would have their legs go weak, sure, but...
The moment she saw the incoming lasers, she shoved Long Qian aside without hesitation. Then the laser struck her directly, piercing through her body.
"Qi... Qi Lin... I... you..."
The sudden turn of events made Long Qian's legs completely give out, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Seeing Qi Lin shove him away and take the shot for him, he scrambled over to her, pulled her into his arms, and tried to stop the bleeding.
"Run... hurry... run toward the city."
Even severely wounded, Qi Lin was still thinking of making Long Qian flee instead of dying here.
"I... I can't leave you behind... We'll run together."
Although Long Qian said that, his body would not obey him. He could not muster any strength at all. In a situation like this, anyone who could react decisively, turn around instinctively, and flee at once was no ordinary person.
Anyone who did not have their legs turn weak from fear in such circumstances was no ordinary person.
However, the blue-and-white armored suit in the distance would not give him that chance. There were still tanks and police cars here, and the resistance and attacks had naturally drawn the Taotie vanguard's attention.
Several more blue lasers shot toward Long Qian.
"We're screwed! Save me, System, save me! Fucking get out here and save me! Your host daddy is about to die!"
Seeing the blue lasers drawing closer, Long Qian had no idea what to do and blurted it out.
His legs would not move. What else could he do? He could not overcome it in the moment.
His transmigration was irreversible. It was already set in stone. Heaven was the chopping board, and he was the meat on it, left entirely to Heaven's arrangements. There was no escaping it.
Since transmigration had become reality, there had to be something else arranged for him, right? Something like a cheat ability.
It could not be that Heaven was in a bad mood, saw that Long Qian had been living comfortably, and decided to give him the benefit of transmigration. Plenty of people lived better than he did.
There were countless Yan Zu readers who were more handsome and more talented than him. Why pick him alone without giving him even a little sweetness?
Just at that critical moment, a voice rang out in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully transmigrating. The system is binding...
Long Qian was overjoyed.
Heaven had not abandoned him. He was still the chosen one.
He immediately put on a solemn expression.
"Trifling Taotie, trifling Carl, trifling Old Master Hua—I will cut all of you down! As long as my courage is great enough, the Three Kings can take maternity leave. Heaven, you do love me."
System: "???"
Long Qian had already finished speaking, yet the system had not reacted. He could not help growing anxious. "System, where are you? Hurry up and show me what you can do."
Hit by a sudden bout of middle-school syndrome, Long Qian questioned the system.
Ding! Due to a malfunction during transmigration, some system functions have been locked by unknown rules and can no longer be used. Only the Myriad Worlds Summoning function remains. The Myriad Worlds Summoning function has also malfunctioned. The list of faults is as follows... Click to view details
Driven by curiosity, Long Qian opened the details. What he saw next nearly made him collapse.
1. Summoned beings/items possess self-awareness. Their memories cannot be set, except for non-living items. 2. Summoned beings cannot remain in the summoner's world for long periods. The duration depends on the summoned being's strength and form. 3. A summoned being's strength cannot exceed the strongest combat power in the summoner's world. Keisha's known universe is not the complete Super Seminary Universe. ... 99. The summoned being's faction cannot be chosen. Summon with caution. 100. The summoner may only summon once per month. Note: Uses cannot be accumulated. Please use them promptly.
After reading all one hundred system malfunctions, Long Qian could not hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Long Qian: "System, did you dig into Heaven's backyard or something? With these hundred restrictions, did you steal Heaven's woman or kidnap his daughter? Why don't you just uninstall yourself? I'm afraid you'll drag me down. I feel like I might die even faster with you around."
It was not that Long Qian did not want the system. It was just too useless—too precious to throw away, too tasteless to keep. What if he summoned a demon, or Cthulhu? Wouldn't he be dead on the spot before getting to enjoy anything?
Besides, he felt that this system must have offended someone it should not have. Without all these restrictions, he could have taken off on the spot—stepping on Hongjun and punching the Heavenly Dao would have been nothing.
But with all these rules and restrictions, this system was not even as useful as those academic genius systems or tycoon systems. At least those systems could strengthen their hosts.
This system, though, was complete trash, unless he could summon immortal artifacts or immortal pills from cultivation novels.
But he was probably just dreaming.
Most importantly, the final rule said the uses could not be accumulated. Wasn't that just bullying honest people?
System: "Nooo, no, no!!!"
Long Qian: "乀(ˉεˉ乀) Get lost. Acting cute is shameful. You have newbie protection, right? If I don't summon something good the first time, uninstall yourself immediately. You can be buried with me. We'll lie on the slab together."
System: "Host, summoning depends entirely on luck. There is no behind-the-scenes manipulation."
"Get the hell out of here and start the summon! If there's no newbie protection and it can't solve this crisis, then self-destruct! This host does not need an incompetent system."
Long Qian was already on the verge of a breakdown. The moment he heard that it all depended on luck, his expression darkened even further.
When it came to luck, probably no one was unluckier than him. Whenever he pulled in Genshin Impact, every banner forced him into the full hard pity, and it was always the full guaranteed pity. There were only a few people in the entire server like that, and he was one of them.
When he bought his house, the developer had a discount lottery. He somehow drew a fifty-thousand-yuan Lamborghini voucher. Did he lack a Lamborghini? No, he lacked the several million—or even ten million—needed to buy one.
System: "Host, everyone's first time is usually not too unlucky. Are you sure you want to summon?"
"Summon. If I don't summon, I'm going to die. Hurry up and activate it."
What the system meant was that there really was newbie protection.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing your first summon. The summoned being is from the game world League of Legends—Angel of Justice Kayle. Angel Kayle will arrive on the battlefield in three seconds...
Long Qian: "Good System, Daddy knew he hadn't misjudged you!!!"
System: "..."
Seeing that his first summon had brought forth Kayle, Long Qian was immensely relieved, his face full of smiles.
He just did not know whether Angel Kayle looked like she did in the game or like the versions in Douyin videos.
Although the system kept insisting that it all depended on luck and that there was no manipulation behind the scenes.
Long Qian had still read several words between the lines: newbie protection.
There was no such thing as no behind-the-scenes manipulation. To avoid being uninstalled by him, the system would sell anything.
"Kayle, is she level sixteen? She can't be only level one, right?!"
A level-sixteen angel and an angel below level sixteen were worlds apart. As a player with two and a half years of practice, he naturally knew that.
Just moments ago, he had gotten a pentakill with a level-sixteen angel.
While Long Qian was muttering to himself, the imposing Angel Kayle arrived on the battlefield.
"Your yearning for justice soared into the heavens, and I answered your call."
"Kayle, they are all unjust beings, fallen invaders from beyond this world. Please avenge the innocents who died at their hands. Please avenge my innocent villa. Cleanse them with fire."
Hearing that familiar, impassioned voice, Long Qian was thrilled. He was finally saved. Three pairs of wings—then she had to be at least level sixteen. Those little nobodies who had destroyed several million worth of his property were not worth mentioning before Kayle.
Kayle could dispose of them with ease, like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Fallen ones are unforgivable. Salvation in the light. Blade in hand, judgment upon all!!!"
Hearing Long Qian below her, Angel Kayle remained expressionless as she looked toward the blue-and-white armored Taotie vanguard officers. She opened with her ultimate, sending an area-of-effect attack crashing toward the Taotie.
"An angel... No, impossible! Angels don't have that many wings! Who exactly are you? You... you are only fit to smell our Divine Karl's farts!!!"
The Taotie were bewildered by the angel who had suddenly appeared. How could angels appear in a pre-nuclear civilization like Earth? How could angels protect this planet?
But Kayle did not answer their questions. The only response they received was damage from every critical strike of her blade.
Kayle raised her sword and brought it down, effortlessly cutting down several Taotie vanguard officers as though slicing vegetables.
"My perfection will make all tremble!!!"
"This is... Kei... Keisha? Th-this... how is this possible?!"
