"Did you even ask my opinion?"
"Send me back now!"
"Then what use are you?"
Zhao Tianhao's voice involuntarily rose a few decibels, shouting at the air in front of him.
Luckily, he was in his own room, otherwise he would have thought he'd encountered a lunatic.
Not getting the information he wanted, Zhao Tianhao felt a surge of anger. He was living a perfectly comfortable life on a certain planet.
Then, after exercising with a model and falling asleep, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
While having a system was a happy thing, being inexplicably brought to a new environment—what if it was some kind of alternate reality? What if it was some cultivation world? He'd be doomed.
He was almost thirty. Was he supposed to fawn over someone?
Zhao Tianhao's pride wouldn't allow him to do that.
He was always the one others fawned over; he never had to fawn over anyone else.
Thus, Zhao Tianhao continued to complain about the system's unfair treatment of him.
His ultimate goal, of course, was to benefit himself.
Knowing he couldn't change this fact, Zhao Tianhao naturally wanted to maximize his own gain.
However, Zhao Tianhao's complaints were futile, because this system didn't have artificial intelligence; it was merely a pre-programmed, unfinished program.
Currently, its only function was time travel, time travel, and more time travel.
Then it would absorb the world's essence. After seizing the world's essence, the system could help Zhao Tianhao gain control of this world.
In other words, Zhao Tianhao would become the god of this world.
After absorbing the energy, the system could travel to the next world, in a cyclical manner.
However, the system didn't know when Zhao Tianhao would be able to return to his own world.
But one thing was clear: the stronger Zhao Tianhao became, the closer he would be to his hope.
Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Although Zhao Tianhao was dissatisfied with the system for inexplicably choosing him and bringing him to this other world, he also hoped to become a "god." Just imagining what it would be like to become a god filled Zhao Tianhao with excitement.
Moreover, some of Zhao Tianhao's ideas could be tested.
What? What ideas?
For example, the idea that I'm the only man in the world...
Ahem, I dare not even think about it.
"Because the host's strong dissatisfaction has been detected, a newbie gift pack has been issued to the host."
"Damn system, you're a real dog! Isn't the newbie gift pack standard? How did it become compensation? I don't care, I won't accept anything less than a triple newbie gift pack!" Zhao Tianhao cursed.
"Gift pack issued. Please check in your system space." The system seemed like an emotionless machine, proceeding according to its pre-programmed steps, completely ignoring Zhao Tianhao's rambling.
Frustrated, Zhao Tianhao could only check the system gift pack in his personal space.
Now, Zhao Tianhao had no expectations for the gift pack anymore; perhaps his personal space was his best solace.
After opening the system's gift pack, Zhao Tianhao found the same old Body Cleansing Pill—a pill to improve physical attributes, as those who know, know.
The other item was incomprehensible to him: a random skill enhancement voucher.
"Enhance skills, enhancement levels from beginner to divine, with a maximum of divine."
Of course, the so-called divine level only refers to the mental limits of the human being.
After reading the skill description, Zhao Tianhao understood. It was a skill enhancement voucher. For example, if Zhao Tianhao had mastered the beginner level of Bajiquan, using the voucher might upgrade it to intermediate or advanced levels.
No matter how things change, the principle remains the same; it seems this world still relies on luck.
As the saying goes, luck can't save the unlucky, and spending money won't change fate.
Today, Zhao Tianhao refused to believe it and decided to teach the system a lesson, to show it what true luck is.
Zhao Tianhao went to the bathroom and carefully washed his hands.
After washing his hands, Zhao Tianhao held the random skill enhancement voucher in his hand and silently said "use."
Suddenly, a prompt sounded in his mind: "Please select a skill to enhance."
Below were Zhao Tianhao's skills accumulated over the past twenty years:
Walking, Running, Basic Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), Basic Computer Proficiency, Basic Guitar, Amateur Singing, Basic Financial Knowledge (Proficient), Basic Badminton, Basic Table Tennis.
Zhao Tianhao had only skimmed through them, as he already had a goal in mind: to focus on Sanda.
After all, Zhao Tianhao had systematically studied it for a period of time, so no matter how much he enhanced it, he wouldn't lose out.
Because Zhao Tianhao also harbored a dream of "taking on ten opponents."
Just as Zhao Tianhao scrolled to the bottom, about to confirm Basic Sanda Proficiency, he noticed a skill at the very bottom of his skill bar and immediately changed his mind.
He was also thankful he had browsed carefully, otherwise he would have missed out greatly.
"Elementary Psychology Proficiency, Use," Zhao Tianhao muttered to himself.
That's right, Zhao Tianhao majored in finance in university, but he also took psychology as an elective.
"Enhancement successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining God-level Hypnosis Skill Proficiency (Pseudo)."
It felt like a second had passed, yet also like an eternity. Zhao Tianhao's mental state underwent a tremendous boost, not to mention the other hidden effects brought by his mental attributes.
"I really am the chosen one, God-level!" Zhao Tianhao was ecstatic. This was practically like becoming a god. He could do whatever he wanted!
However, seeing the word "(Pseudo)" after the skill name was like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhao Tianhao's heart.
Zhao Tianhao checked it with trepidation, hoping it wouldn't be unusable.
"Cannot be used on the male or female protagonist, or those around them. Can only be used if the host disrupts the plot or significantly impacts the protagonist."
In short, this skill can be used, but because the user is in the protagonist's world, the other party possesses great fortune, so even if their mental attribute isn't as high as Zhao Tianhao's, they remain unaffected by the skill.
However, if Zhao Tianhao kills the male protagonist, significantly impacting the plot and the world, he can then use it on others around the protagonist.
Generally, Zhao Tianhao disdains using it, as he's quite confident in his charm.
Of course, if the female protagonist in this world is a manipulative, scheming woman, that's a different story; Zhao Tianhao won't be polite then.
After using the skill on her, he'll find various ways to "educate" her.
Zhao Tianhao could no longer contain his excitement and couldn't wait to try out his skill.
By the way, he still didn't know what kind of world this was. If it's a high-martial arts world, he's doomed.
Zhao Tianhao immediately inquired with the system.
"This world is a world of joy, and the host has not replaced any plot characters," the system unusually added.
However, Zhao Tianhao understood what the system meant. It seemed that future worlds might replace his own plot characters.
But speaking of which, he hadn't expected this world to be a world of "A Little Reunion."
In his previous life, Zhao Tianhao was a 996 office worker who, besides chasing girls, spent a lot of time watching TV dramas.
Although he hadn't saved much money, having squandered it all, Zhao Tianhao, being an orphan among the transmigrators, had no plans to get married.
He just wanted to live a carefree life.
Unexpectedly, he had the opportunity to transmigrate.
Regarding the TV series "A Little Reunion," Zhao Tianhao didn't watch it when it first came out.
Aside from his favorite dramas, Zhao Tianhao generally didn't binge-watch. He would wait until each season was finished and then binge-watch it all in one day and one night.
He definitely fast-forwarded through it; for parts he didn't like, Zhao Tianhao usually watched at 3x speed.
While some of his female colleagues were watching the drama, Zhao Tianhao heard about it. They said it was interesting, and he planned to watch it after it finished airing. However, he got busy and forgot about it.
What truly made Zhao Tianhao decide to watch it was a novel—a light novel with explicit content published on a certain website.
After reading the novel, Zhao Tianhao was completely hooked, wishing he could replace the characters. Unexpectedly, his dream came true! Did the system hear his inner voice and send him here?
But as a pervert, Zhao Tianhao had this urge to replace the characters in any drama with an attractive cast.
Why didn't this happen when watching other dramas? It's ridiculous.
Unable to figure it out, Zhao Tianhao stopped thinking about it. He couldn't be ungrateful after getting what he wanted.
After finishing the novel, Zhao Tianhao watched the drama.
