At 7:00 AM, Wang Tie Niu, awakened from his deep sleep by his phone alarm, skillfully squinted, grabbed his phone, and swiped the alarm off. He groped for his glasses on the nightstand, stood up, and went to wash up, his eyes still half-closed.
He wasn't a man of refined tastes, so twenty minutes later, he was already dressed and ready to go. As he casually grabbed his car keys from the shoe cabinet and put them in his pocket, he suddenly noticed a blue and white object lying beside the Volkswagen car keys. It was about the same size as the Volkswagen keys, slightly larger.
“When did this thing appear in my house?” Wang Tie Niu, puzzled, picked up the blue and white object and examined it closely. “This seems to be made of gold and diamonds.” The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. He wanted to examine it carefully, but noticing that it was already 5 minutes past his usual departure time, he didn't give it much thought and quickly put it in his pocket, rushing to work.
With this mystery on his mind, Wang Tie Niu kept thinking about the strange object, even his breakfast at the company cafeteria felt bland.
After quickly consuming a bowl of porridge and a meat bun, Wang Tie Niu returned to his office at a speed comparable to quitting time. Seeing that none of his colleagues were paying attention to him, he immediately pulled out the mysterious object from his pocket and examined it.
It wasn't hard to find out. With a simple image recognition function, Wang Tie Niu discovered that it was a car key, a Bugatti car key! The renowned Awain company in Dubai, specifically for the Bugatti Chiron, released this car key, costing 500,000 euros for the key alone, equivalent to about 3.8 million yuan!
“3.8 million!” Wang Tie Niu, unable to help but gasp in awe, was no longer calm. Before the excitement subsided, a wave of fear followed. He couldn't understand how this luxurious car key ended up in his house.
At that moment, a faint, majestic mechanical synthetic voice echoed in his mind: Endless System activated!
These short words were like nuclear bombs exploding in Wang Tie Niu's head. His hair stood on end, his whole body trembled, disbelief, elation, fear, and a myriad of other emotions swept over him like a tsunami in a matter of seconds.
He felt like he couldn't breathe, his heart beat like a drum, his blood surged through his veins, as if his entire circulatory system would burst from excitement. He couldn't help but lean forward on the desk, his body convulsing violently.
Five minutes later, Wang Tie Niu, forcing himself to calm down through deep breaths, straightened up and sat upright in his chair. He suppressed his excitement and went to his leader's office to ask for leave.
Thanks to his usual lack of presence, his leader, although a little puzzled, readily granted him half a day's leave. Wang Tie Niu, who had just started work and raced back home, rushed into his house, ignoring everything else, and went to his bedroom. With a serious expression on his face, he thought to himself with a reverent sense: Endless System.
The next second, the scene before his eyes changed. Like a HUD head-up display effect, four translucent large characters appeared: Endless System.
Wang Tie Niu couldn't help but look around, the four characters stayed fixed right in front of his eyes, at a distance that was most comfortable for him to look at.
He thought for a moment, focusing his attention on the four characters, silently thinking: Click. Immediately, the four characters "Endless System" disappeared, and a line of text popped up: Endless（）System at your service, please confirm your strongest desire in life and fill it in. Once confirmed, it cannot be changed.
Wow! Such a user-friendly system, you can even choose your own preferences! Wang Tie Niu was surprised. He pondered for a moment, took a blank A4 paper from the printer beside him, laid it out on the desk, and opened his pen, carefully considering what he could fill in.
Money was the first thing that came to his mind. Who doesn't like money? Filling in money would be foolproof. His thoughts went wild, and he couldn't help but start fantasizing about what he would do if he had money.
After indulging in some serious daydreams, Wang Tie Niu wrote the word "money" on the paper. Then, the words "life" emerged. If you have money but no life to spend it on, it's useless. In other words, health could be filled in as well.
Wang Tie Niu couldn't help but frown. His health was still good, and he wasn't that old. Life and health were certainly great, but if he had no money, he would still be living in poverty.
Although he thought this way, he still listed "life" and "health" as options on the A4 paper. Power, Wang Tie Niu slowly wrote the two characters on the paper. Power was good, but Wang Tie Niu felt he wasn't that eager for power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected the opportunity to join the organization offered by his workplace. He felt that he was lazy and didn't want to get involved in any struggle!
Next, he listed on the paper options such as armed forces, cultivation, becoming a god, and a series of other strange choices. But after thinking carefully about the words "strongest desire in life," he felt that the options he had listed previously were not the desires deep within his heart.
Suddenly, a thought emerged, a thought so strong, so irresistible, that he crumpled the A4 paper in his hand and threw it into the trash can. At the same time, he resolutely filled in the words "beauty" in his mind! “I'm an LSP! I'm laying my cards on the table!” Wang Tie Niu decided to face his true self.
Wang Tie Niu took a deep breath. This system sounded awesome just by its name. At this moment, the system interface flashed, dividing into two parts, the upper part being the host information.
The lower part had four modules, two of which were for physical fitness and vehicles. They were grayed out. A mental click revealed that they were not activated. One module named "Beauty" was light blue, and touching it showed that it was activated. The last module displayed a question mark, obviously not viewable.
Wang Tie Niu clicked on the "Beauty" module and entered a tree-like diagram. From the root to the branches, there were twenty heart shapes. Only the two heart shapes at the root showed content, the rest were a hazy gray, with no content.
He used his mind to touch the two heart shapes at the root, and they displayed: Skill: Beauty Search Beginner (not activated) Beauty Information Acquisition Beginner (not activated). As he skimmed through the information, he realized a statement he had missed earlier:
Host: 【Wang Tie Niu】
【Level: 1】
【Experience: ???】
【Money possessed: Infinite】
Wang Tie Niu leaned back in his chair, feeling like his entire body was limp, without a single bone to support him. All his attention was focused on the words "Money possessed: Infinite."
Infinite money? How is that possible! He couldn't help but mentally touch these words. Suddenly, a description popped up: The host can transfer any amount of money to their bank card, with unlimited limits. All spending and transfers will be automatically rationalized by the system's power, the host need not have any worries.
Seeing this description, Wang Tie Niu trembled as if he had been electrocuted, his blood pressure skyrocketed, his blood vessels felt like they were about to burst. He gasped for breath, his thick neck veins pulsated, and it took several minutes for him to slowly calm down.
“Let's try it first. What if it's fake and I get my hopes up?” Wang Tie Niu found his favorite bank card, clicked on "Infinite Money" in his mind. First, it popped up with the bank card account number, then a line of text appeared,
Please enter the desired amount. Wang Tie Niu's hands were shaking. He took several dozen deep breaths, then slowly entered the number (one hundred billion) in his mind. He did this for a reason. If such a large amount of cash flowed into the bank system and the system could still rationalize it, then this system would be simply incredible.
The moment he confirmed it in his mind, Wang Tie Niu heard the sound of his phone's SMS notification. With trembling hands, he unlocked it and truly received a message: Your savings card ending in XXXX latest transaction reminder: Transaction currency: RMB, Transaction time: XXXX: Transaction type income: Transaction amount: **, Available balance: **.24.
“Haha, I'm invincible!” Wang Tie Niu jumped up wildly, waving his fist, and let out incoherent roars and laughter. He continued for seven or eight minutes. When he didn't receive a call from the bank, he completely believed in the awesomeness of this system.
Next, he transferred 1 trillion yuan to each of his other three bank cards, and again, no bank notification was triggered. Convinced that there was no need to continue testing, Wang Tie Niu lay on his back on the bed, closing his eyes in bliss, savoring the unparalleled feeling of happiness.
After relaxing for a while and calming down a little, Wang Tie Niu continued to open the Endless System in his mind. A huge golden pop-up box appeared before him: Host has experienced the system function for the first time, now injecting nano-robots into the host's body to enhance and transform the host. This technology is the first human experiment of cosmic black technology, please prepare yourself.
Wang Tie Niu, horrified, hadn't even had time to refuse when an indescribable, immense pain spread through every cell in his body. He simply fainted.
