"Luke, you lazy bastard, haven't you put on your clothes yet? If you don't come down, I'll make you go to the prom naked." Robert Grayson sat in the open driver's seat, leaned his head out and shouted upstairs. His loud voice seemed to shake the glass of the small building.
A moment later, a shout no louder than the one he just shouted came from upstairs: "w!t!f!?"
Robert was immediately furious. He jumped out of the driver's seat of the F150 and rushed into the small building.
Then, there was a series of bangs on the stairs, and then the sound of a door opening slamming.
"Ah, Luke, what's wrong with you, boy?" Robert's shout rang out again, followed by a female voice.
A minute later, Robert rushed out of the building carrying a teenager on his back, followed by a panicked middle-aged woman holding a five-year-old boy in her hand.
"Catherine, drive yourself and bring Joseph with you. Be careful on the road and don't rush." Robert just turned his head and hurriedly instructed the middle-aged woman, then put the boy behind him in the back seat and quickly got into the driver's seat.
After the ignition was started, the Ford Raptor roared, rushed onto the road and sped away.
…
A day later, Lu Ke woke up from his coma.
Looking at the ceiling above his head, he was stunned for a moment, then he recalled what had happened before, and his heart was suddenly filled with emotions.
But he immediately suppressed the emotion, looked around quickly, and found that this was a hospital ward.
Besides him, the only person in the ward was Claire, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa not far away.
He was relieved to see Claire.
My sister is here, I think Robert sent me here.
I paid attention to the movements around me and found that there was almost no one walking around. It should be late at night and the hospital was silent.
Lu Ke then closed his eyes and called out affectionately in his heart: "Come out, system."
And then...no response.
What the hell is this system!
Lu Ke resisted the urge to curse and called out again affectionately: "Come out, System Daddy!"
And then... still no response.
Lu Ke: "...System son?"
"System Sun Zei!"
"System, are you playing jungle?"
Okay, still no response.
Lu Ke complained in his heart: This stupid system, can you at least give me an interface, or a property panel or something? What's the point of pretending to be dead like this
As I was thinking this, some data emerged in my mind.
Unlike the panel he had imagined before, these data appeared directly in his mind, without him having to look at them, because there was no panel at all.
User Lu Ke (alias Luke Coulson)
Strength 12
Agility 11
Spirit 12 (Note: After being reminded by a friend, I changed the intelligence attribute to spirit, which is more in line with my setting of this attribute. It also prevents people from thinking that IQ will increase if intelligence is added. If you see the intelligence attribute later, please replace it with spirit. It may be omitted and not modified)
Level 0
Experience 0
Points 0
And then... it was gone again.
Lu Ke was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. He really wanted to catch this system and beat it up, but unfortunately he didn't even know where this broken system was.
As for Lu Ke's own origins, it started thirteen years ago.
One day, Lu Ke suddenly woke up and found himself as a white kid, a five-year-old kid named Luke Coulson.
Without much hesitation, he understood from the system that he was not a soul traveling through time and space and possessing another body, but that the little brat Luke was actually himself.
It’s just that because the system has certain requirements for the brain, it was automatically activated when he was five years old and restored his previous memories.
At that time, after five years of ignorance, he realized that he was not a person of this world in his previous life.
In his previous life, he was a Chinese. He lived a mediocre but peaceful life until he was thirty years old. He worked as a clerk in a company every day, earning a salary that was just enough to eat and wait for death. There was nothing special about him.
Then, one night he fell asleep while watching an American TV series at home. The TV series happened to be about a case that took place in rural America.
When he saw the beautiful scenery and the vast world on TV, he said to himself that it would be great if he could live there.
After that, there was no memory of that world.
Apparently, after he fell asleep that night, he somehow came to the United States of this world and turned into a baby.
The memories before the age of five still exist, and there is no difference from normal children. They remember everything they should remember, but the memories of those too young are gone.
However, he knew that this was not the America of his previous life.
Because his previous life was already 2018, his date of birth in this life was 1985.
An even greater piece of evidence is that the current President of the United States of this world is a Latina woman, fifty-seven-year-old Michelle Gable.
Although Lu Ke didn't care much about the past presidents of the United States, he knew that in the previous life, there had been neither women nor Hispanics among the American presidents, let alone Hispanic female presidents.
Therefore, his soul did not travel back to more than 20 years ago, but appeared in another parallel world completely.
Lu Ke had complicated feelings about this.
He had hoped that this was the world of his previous life, and that he would be able to find his parents and sisters again, but at that time he didn't know whether his parents and sisters would accept a white son and brother.
But the facts told him that he could not go back.
As a Buddhist youth in his previous life, Lu Ke quickly gave up this pointless entanglement.
Firstly, he couldn't think of a way to go back, and secondly, his parents and sisters were taking care of him. He just hoped that his disappearance would not make them too sad, although that was impossible.
Over the past ten years, Lu Ke gradually let go of the entanglements of his previous life and became a native American.
He still wants to complain about the environment in which he grew up.
Why do other time travelers often travel back in time to become the sons of a conglomerate, or live in big cities like New York, but he inexplicably traveled to a desolate countryside in America
He has lived in Knox, Texas, a small town outside of Texas, since he became sober at age five.
This small town called Shackelford has only about two thousand residents, and its population is at most the size of a small village in China in his previous life.
On the contrary, the place is incredibly large. Once you leave the small town, it is normal to drive for dozens of minutes without seeing a single house.
The reason he was able to live in this remote area for thirteen years and graduate from high school was entirely because he... was a man with a system.
He knew he had a system from the time he woke up at age five.
But this system did not respond at all. It was like a stone, without any movement. Only he could feel that it existed.
Well, he didn't know where exactly it was.
He never told anyone about this because that would only make Robert and Catherine think he was mentally ill.
Moreover, a message from the system let him know that it would be officially activated after he came of age.
Lu Ke could only endure this.
The system insisted on pretending to be dead, what could he do
He has called the system "Dad" and "Grandpa" more than once. When there is no response, he often calls the system "son" and "grandson". But it just remains motionless.
The systems of other novel protagonists are either intelligent or artificially intelligent, and their personalities can be cold, dark, arrogant, chatty, and mean, and they can also chat and play when they have nothing to do.
The system he got was not an artificial intelligence at all, it was just a mechanical idiot, otherwise there was no way to explain its lack of response.
Just like that, Lu Ke grew up and went to school in an ordinary way. Today was the day of his high school graduation dance, which was also his eighteenth birthday.
Just as he was changing into his dress upstairs and preparing to attend the high school graduation dance that evening, the system suddenly sent a message: It has been detected that the host has reached adulthood, the system has been officially activated, and synchronization will begin in ten seconds!
"wtf?!" Lu Ke only had time to yell.
Before he could figure out what to do, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and his vision went black in an instant. The body's self-protection mechanism kicked in, and he successfully passed out.
When Robert rushed upstairs, he saw Lu Ke lying on the floor, unconscious.
Next, he was taken to the hospital by Robert and woke up after a day of coma.
At this moment, there was only Claire who was sleeping soundly around him, just in time for him to open the treasure.
The system is that treasure!
His feelings over the years were like a person who found out early on that he had inherited a large sum of money, but had to wait many years before he could receive it.
Well, that’s actually not wrong.
This system is the legacy left by his previous life to this life.
For the long thirteen years, Lu Ke had been waiting for this moment.
After waking up, he understood why the system was activated only after adulthood.
Because the system needs to synchronize with his soul to complete the soul binding, and before he reaches adulthood, his body, especially his brain, cannot withstand the impact of synchronization and he can easily die.
Lu Ke could only say mmp in his heart!
If you want to synchronize, you should notify me earlier! Can't you do it one day in advance? This stupid system actually gave him a ten-second countdown and then started working directly.
Now, not only was he sent to the hospital, but his graduation dance was also ruined.
What's even more unfortunate is that his current girlfriend Ximena wanted to dance with him, and after he stood her up, he didn't know if he would be scratched to death by that little wild cat.
However, these are issues that he will need to worry about later, and right now his attention is still on the system.
But the mechanical idiot system once again exceeded his imagination, and its idiocy was beyond description.
It has been officially activated and synchronized, but it's still the same dead state.
The attribute panel, which has no panel at all, has no prompts at all, just a few isolated data.
Lu Ke couldn't help cursing in his heart: System, you should at least have a name, right? Are you mentally retarded and an orphan at the same time
Just as I started cursing in my heart, the system suddenly moved.
Brave Detective System!
Abbreviation: Detective System!
And then... it was gone again.
Lu Ke no longer had the energy to be angry with this stupid system.
He calmed down and started studying the system.
Although he had been cursing in his heart that the panel given by the system was useless, it was actually still of some use.
Using simple logic, we can infer that since the system has given the data, generally speaking, these data can be improved.
Judging from the three major physical attributes of strength, agility and intelligence, Lu Ke could tell that the system data was not as stupid as it itself was.
The system defaults that the average value of these three attributes for ordinary people is 10, while Lu Ke's strength is 12, agility is 11, and spirit is 12.
In other words, his strength is slightly higher than the average level of ordinary people. This may be because most people here are accustomed to outdoor work and students also like to do sports.
Lu Ke even followed the crowd and regularly went to the gym to shape his body with a few fitness fanatics in his class.
Of course, it's a hobby for him, he's just doing it for fun, so his strength attribute is only 12, which is slightly above the average level.
Agility is 11. I guess he didn't do any specific training, so it's only slightly higher than the average level.
Spirit 12, he roughly understood that spirit was related to the brain, or the speed of brain calculations.
None of the three basic attributes are particularly outstanding, but there are no weaknesses either. I just don’t know if the system can improve these data.
The next three data are level 0, experience 0, and points 0.
This means that he has a level in this system and can gain experience and points.
You can try it slowly to find out how much experience is needed to upgrade, and what the level points are used for. At least this system will not be useless.
After studying for a long time, Lu Ke began to test again.
"Master System, please give me some feedback. How do I upgrade?"
"Experience? Of course I know I need experience, but how do I get it?"
"Mission? Where is it?"
"Fuck the guy next door! You still dare to say you're not a retard? Do you have to force me to give you a task? You really are a mechanical retard."
Lu Ke's repeated attempts finally triggered the system's movement, and a line of information finally appeared on the panel without a panel.
Mission: Become a formal police officer.
Time limit: one month.
Rewards: 10 experience points, 10 points.
Lu Ke felt this message and almost stood up and knelt down. Thank you so much! System Master.
Sure enough, this system works!
Sure enough, he was able to gain experience and points.
But after a moment, Lu Ke, who was happy, became conflicted again.
What a broken system!
He has read quite a few novels, especially those about the system.
Without going into specific functions, most systems can be divided into several categories.
The first category is the mysterious side system, which includes those that provide the owner with magic, martial arts, cultivation and super powers.
The second category is the technology-side system, which provides weapons, technology, and genetically enhanced interstellar battleships.
The third category is the reality-side system, which includes being a star, a writer, a scientist, a bad guy, a good person, etc.
The third category occasionally mixes in abilities and items from the first two systems, but reality is still the main focus.
Of course, Lu Ke wanted the first type of system the most.
Things on the mysterious side are always so mysterious and attractive.
Secondly, technological ones are also fine. After all, when technology reaches a certain level, it is actually no worse than mysterious things.
The third category is the last choice.
If it really doesn't work out, become a star, or a great writer, and then switch careers to be a screenwriter, and it's actually not bad to deal with some rules or something.
Or you can become a scientist and a new technological elite, that's also fine.
(Solemn reminder: This book is the first release, so if you have the ability, please go to Qidian to support it)
(Solemn reminder 2: The film and television works involved in this book are mainly American. Domestic works involving police officers, gun battles, and officials are easy to cross the red line, so I will not write about them. The film and television content includes but is not limited to Marvel movies and some American dramas. But I will change some details to facilitate the protagonist's actions. For example, the time and place where a certain story takes place, or the age of a certain movie character, or a certain character in a certain movie does not have a gun, but there is one in my book, these are all possible.
I would like to say that these worlds are not purely virtual worlds transformed from movies. They are real worlds that will complete their own logic and thus may not completely match the plot of the movie. Therefore, some fans of the original novels should not pick out a certain plot and say: it is not like this in the movie (TV), you wrote it randomly. After all, are there dozens of other movie and American TV characters in Marvel movies?)
