Chapter 151 Re-entering the World, First Encounter
In that same gray, empty system space, Zhang Liangjun slowly awoke once again.
Zhang Liangjun was not in a hurry, but waited patiently.
Sure enough, not long after, the system's holographic projection screen in front of Zhang Liangjun lit up: "Congratulations, host, you have completed your second transmigration! You have obtained one skill lottery! You have obtained system spirit permissions!"
System wizard?
Summon the System Sprite!
A cross-section resembling a VX dialog box was displayed on the holographic projection, and a certain input method was automatically opened.
Veins bulged on Zhang Liangjun's forehead. Was this broken system really that primitive?
He didn't dwell on it too much, since no one would listen to his complaints anyway! Zhang Liangjun stepped forward and started typing in the question: "Can I block my emotions?"
Zhang Liangjun was already somewhat afraid of the new world. He felt that his state was somewhat like immortality, but the people around him disappeared one by one, leaving him only loneliness. He felt very sad. In his memory, there were plots in online novels where the system could screen emotions and seal memories. If that was the case, it might be better.
The screen responded quickly, almost like an auto-reply: "This feature is not available!" Below that was a line of smaller text: Number of questions remaining (1).
This damn system! Why didn't it say before that there were only two chances to ask questions? Zhang Liangjun's veins were about to explode! Luckily, it was just a phantom.
Only one question remained. Just as Zhang Liangjun was carefully considering what to ask, a countdown began on the screen: 30, 29, 28…
Without time to think, Zhang Liangjun quickly stepped forward and typed: "How do I turn off the passive skill!"
The countdown stopped, and a message appeared in the dialog box: "Every third time you cross over, you can turn off one passive skill! To turn off a skill, please click the 'Turn Off' button!" The word "Turn Off" was highlighted in red.
He reached out and tapped the word "Close," and a holographic projection displayed a list of skills, with the word "Close" next to each skill. Without hesitation, Zhang Liangjun clicked the "Close" button next to "The Sour Taste of Love"!
There's only so much love, there's no way to love so many people at the same time! Zhang Liangjun had had enough of this skill.
The "sour taste of love" on the screen dimmed, standing out starkly compared to the skills above and below.
About three seconds later, the holographic projection re-displayed the original interface, with only one eye-catching "Start Lottery" remaining.
Zhang Liangjun suddenly remembered there was a lottery! Without hesitation, he clicked "Start Lottery," but there was no fancy spinning wheel, only the final result displayed: "Lottery complete! Skill obtained: Low Health Resurrection (Passive)!"
Silently recite "System panel!"
The holographic projection began to change rapidly, quickly displaying lines of information.
Name: Zhang Liangjun (formerly known as Chen Yu)
Age: 30 (Endangered)
Dao Xin: Sacrificing to the Human Heart
Skill 1: Strengthen Kidneys and Improve Body Health (Passive, Basic)
The kidneys are the engine of health. Exercise can greatly enhance kidney function. As the kidneys strengthen, the effects of exercise will be better. A strong body will further enhance the kidneys' ability until the body ages and both slowly decline.
Skill 2: The Sour Taste of Love (Passive, Basic) has been temporarily disabled.
The taste of love is so wonderful; the longer someone smells your scent, the deeper their love will become, and they will fear for you even in the slightest discomfort. The effects will increase with physical strength and decrease with physical weakness, but if the skill's influence lasts too long, it may cause irreversible damage. (Due to hormonal influences, this skill is only effective on eligible young women who are not related by blood.)
Skill 3: Beauty Can Change Fate (Passive, Basic)
The lifespan of the host's confidante will be greatly increased due to the influence of the host, and her health will also improve as the degree and duration of contact with the host increase, with the highest possible state being a peaceful death.
Skill 4: Number Sensitivity (Passive)
They have a clearer understanding and memory of numbers and some mathematical logic.
Skill 5: Low Health Resurrection (Passive, Basic)
When the host's health is low, it will consume a large amount of energy to quickly repair its condition. Note: This skill is ineffective against aging!
Skill 6: Wilderness Survival and Reconnaissance (Beginner) (Omitted)
Skill 7: Combat (Beginner) (Omitted)
Skill 8: Mechanic (Beginner) (Omitted)
Skill 9: Instrument Playing (Beginner) (Omitted)
Skill 10: Life Skills (Beginner) (Omitted)
Zhang Liangjun was speechless; this system just loved using puns!
The system panel only displayed for about three minutes before the holographic projection screen gradually went dark. It was as if things had returned to the beginning, and as time went on, Zhang Liangjun once again lost his sense of time.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Zhang Liangjun felt it had been at least one or two weeks. The holographic projection screen lit up again, "The third interdimensional journey is about to begin. Would the host like to initiate the time travel?"
"whether?"
He reached out and nodded.
"Attention! The second time travel is about to begin!"
With a familiar, blinding white light flashing, Zhang Liangjun lost consciousness once again!
"Mom, can't we afford to raise him anymore?" Before he even opened his eyes, Zhang Liangjun heard a child's voice.
Zhang Liangjun struggled to open his eyes. The sunlight wasn't harsh, and he quickly adjusted to the light. The first thing he saw was a large face; this little boy's face was really wide!
"Hey Mom, look! He's awake! He really isn't dead!" The big-faced man finally removed his face, and Zhang Liangjun found that the world was a little brighter, and he was finally able to observe his surroundings.
Blue brick floor and white walls
Rosewood doors, windows, and a portrait of Chairman Mao.
Bamboo chair with window lattice and five-drawer chest
A yellowed plaque hangs in the central hall.
(Here's a little ditty for you all!)
"It feels like another period drama," Zhang Liangjun thought to himself. "Is this going to be another tough start?" Having experienced the first "Nothing But Thirty" episode, Zhang Liangjun had developed some resistance to this kind of environment.
“Although things are tough at home, I took this child in, and I can’t just… Look how handsome he is! I’m a little reluctant to give him away again. Let’s keep him!” Wu Fenglan stroked her son’s head. She actually wanted the child to have a companion for her son, so that at least when she gets old and needs care, he won’t be too much of a burden on her son.
Wu Fenglan's husband, Zhang Xingshun, was injured a year ago when he was hit by a stack of goods while unloading. It was a work-related injury. Because Zhang Xingshun was always one of the most proactive workers, the factory applied to posthumously award him the title of municipal-level model worker after the accident. Last year, the couple was planning to have another child, but unexpectedly, he went to work and never came back.
And the one they found happened to be a boy. These days, unless there's a serious defect, no one would just abandon a boy!
Wu Fenglan often goes to the vegetable market early in the morning to pick out some better vegetables. On her way to the market this morning, she found Zhang Liangjun. She waited there for a long time but no one came looking for him, so Wu Fenglan took Zhang Liangjun back with her.
Wu Fenglan checked the child carefully several times, but apart from a note with the name Zhang Liangjun written on it, she found nothing wrong. The child just kept sleeping, refusing to wake up whether she held him or put him down. However, Wu Fenglan heard that his heartbeat and breathing were normal, so she decided to wait and see. Not long after, Zhang Liangjun woke up. Wu Fenglan guessed that perhaps Zhang Liangjun's family was truly starving, which was why they had the heart to abandon the child.
