Chapter 001: Why Am I the Only One Who Is a Failure

Talent: Good Luck

Overall, disregarding political factors, the year 1 of the new calendar is somewhat reminiscent of the millennium of the previous era

Unlike in the previous life, in this life, the Xia Kingdom is the world's strongest nation, holding the titles of champion in aerospace, military preparedness, and technological competition, while also being one of the leaders of the United Nations.

However, everything else, apart from this, is different from the previous life

Moreover, it comes from a parallel world

Am I suffering from heatstroke, or have I been possessed by some system?

Given this person's demeanor, even if he does not become a mayor in the future, he should at least be able to secure a position as the director of the development office

Due to the rapid advancement of science and technology, productivity is changing with each passing day, and the material prosperity and wealth of this era are unprecedented

Hao Yun, with the handle of a suitcase in his right hand and the freshman enrollment handbook of Jiangcheng University in his left, was walking wearily on the scorching asphalt road, almost drained of the last bit of energy by the summer heat

With both hands gripping the doorknob, he pulled the door open, overwhelmed by the sounds of commotion coming from behind it

Hao Yun felt that he did not explode with rage on the spot; his temper was unusually good

Hao Yun did not clearly see his face, but in a daze, he caught sight of the two lines of text above his head

After all, we will have to get along for 4 years

I hope to encounter a roommate who is relatively normal, at least not too eccentric

With such thoughts in mind, Hao Yun, who was being polite with his words, felt a mix of laughter and tears in his heart, and his mood became even more gloomy

Damn!

Of course, what shocked Hao Yun the most was not the handsome appearance of this person, but rather...

In summary, scientific and technological advancements have surpassed, while the entertainment industry has started relatively late and remains comparatively underdeveloped

Is it Hao Yun? This name is quite interesting

My name is Hao Yun, I am 18 years old... I come from the ancient city of Jiangling. In a rather conventional manner, Hao Yun briefly introduced himself.

What is this thing

But unfortunately

In this life, although his father also named him Hao Yun.

After all, he had read a lot of online literature during his lifetime. Those who are reborn, let alone their entrepreneurial ideas filled with thoughts of surpassing the heavens, even casually copying books or singing songs could lead them to the peaks of the literary and music worlds, gaining countless admirers and becoming winners in life

Noticing Hao Yun's gaze, the dormitory supervisor reached out and rubbed its dog's head

However, as soon as the flattery left his lips, Hao Yun quickly regretted it

A short young man with slightly dark skin approached, smiling as he extended his right hand

However, this is not the main point

Chirp

The dormitory manager's room is located at the stairway entrance on the first floor. On duty is a lady in her forties. After glancing at Hao Yun's identification card, she made a simple entry in the register and collected a deposit of fifty yuan, then tossed the key to him

I beg your pardon, Comrade Zhu is truly a remarkable talent

Potential Value: 9

It is precisely during these years that the series of cutting-edge technologies such as electronics and communications, left behind by the "competition era," have gradually accelerated their entry into the civilian sector through the market, ultimately evolving into smart home appliances and computers and smartphones, reaching the homes of ordinary people

Looking at Hao Yun, the young man smiled kindly and extended his right hand

Why is that ! ! !

4th floor ... ... finally arrived

Just as his father has expectations for him, he hopes that he will study diligently, become a useful person, and ideally gain admission to either Tsinghua University or Peking University, graduating and then smoothly advancing in his career

Haha, just right, we are a dormitory of four, let's call the later ones the fourth one.

With a slightly stiff expression, Hao Yun murmured to himself, pressed his thumb against his temple, took a deep breath, and continued to climb the stairs while carrying his suitcase

Isn't this praise too direct, which might come off as somewhat sarcastic?

Sighing, Hao Yun stood up, carrying his suitcase and preparing to go upstairs

In his previous life, he completed his university education in its entirety, and after graduation, he worked as a planner at a gaming company. Ultimately, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died suddenly at his desk due to overtime work, at the age of thirty

... ... It is a pleasure to meet you

It was also in the same year that he, as an infant, was born in a small city named Jiangling in the southern part of the Xia Kingdom, crying heartily for an entire night, wasting an unknown number of diapers before the family could finally settle down

It is called Ah Huang, and it does not bite people

For artists, this world is simply a paradise

The key remains the two lines of text floating above his head

When he was held by the nurse and sent into his mother's embrace, he was horrified to discover that the memories of his past life were shrouded in a thin veil.

On one hand, it is indeed because the weather is too hot, and on the other hand, although this is his first time stepping into a university campus in his life, it is not his first time attending university.

Moreover, what on earth does a potential value of 0 mean

Talent: Expert Mouse Catcher

He believes that even if he is not as successful as they are, achieving a modest level of comfort should not be a problem

What does it mean when the combat power value is off the charts

Novels and music, being formless entities, become even more ambiguous; in fact, he only relearned to speak around the age of one.

The door is open

At that moment, a boy with a square face walked over from the balcony, holding a freshly washed cloth.

As he watched the direction in which he was leaving, Hao Yun blinked vigorously, trying to see more clearly

And Ah Huang also cooperatively let out a howl, seemingly enjoying it very much

Do not mention that the memories of the previous life have become so blurred; it is also a question whether those people he encountered in his past life exist in parallel worlds. Thus, the notion of regret is irrelevant.

However, just as he was trying to focus his gaze, that elusive dialogue box vanished once again, leading him to doubt whether he had seen it correctly.

At that moment, he noticed a large yellow dog lazily lying next to the cabinet by the door

Fortunately, this Brother Zhu did not seem to think so; instead, he laughed heartily and graciously accepted the flattery, even joyfully reciting a humorous poem.

But why am I the only one who is down and out

Potential Value: 0

Talent: Smooth Career Advancement

The person speaking is standing in front of the desk near the door of the dormitory, meticulously organizing the items on the table

There isn't a single dog!

Have you developed a delusion from the heat

Jiangcheng, Year 18 of the New Calendar, Summer

He shook his right hand, and Hao Yun smiled awkwardly yet politely

It is said that ... ...

Stop talking nonsense

A pair of gazes also turned over.

However, at that moment, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint blue light shadow sweeping across the dog's tail

Good at nothing, but the best at eating

genius

I hope it is just a misunderstanding

Seeing the dog looking quite endearing, Hao Yun also wanted to reach out and pet it, but Ah Huang seemed disinterested in him.

At least

Talent: Music Expert

Potential Value: 3

It is as if all memories have shattered into fragments

Thank you

Where, where, Comrade Hao is truly a remarkable talent, possessing an impressive demeanor. As the saying goes, one does not know the grandeur of the Yangtze River until one visits it; indeed, a great person is right beside me!

The path was blocked by a suitcase, and the boy glanced at the dazed Hao Yun, slightly furrowing his brow

Cough—where, where, I dare not take credit, I dare not take credit, what... is right beside me! Speaking without catching my breath, I almost choked.

While walking down the street, he was still contemplating whether to perform a unique freestyle to leave a deep impression on his new roommates. However, now his mind is in turmoil, tangled like a ball of yarn, leaving no mental capacity to think about trivial matters

3rd floor

2nd floor

It is one thing that all the roommates in the same room are prominent figures

Two prominent large ears are somewhat eye-catching, and of course, the mole beneath the nose is even more noticeable. The hair is styled in a rather square manner, perhaps in an attempt to leave a deep first impression on the new roommate, but the amount of hair wax used may have been a bit excessive, giving it a slightly greasy appearance

Why did I unexpectedly encounter a big shot today

Today has truly been a day of misfortune

Potential Value: 8

In short, he is a reincarnator

Oh, everyone is here

Of course, Hao Yun believes that his life is not entirely a matter of luck, as that 1% of effort is also extremely important

He probably remembers that some things happened, and indeed he can recall some images that flash by like slides, but when he tries to think deeper about those specific details, he cannot remember a single one.

Oh my!

Hello, newcomer, welcome to dormitory 401... Ahem, let me introduce myself, I am Zheng Xueqian, 19 years old this year. I hope that during these four years of university, we can make progress together, achieve academic success, and put our knowledge to good use

It is said that the deposit is refundable, but that will be four years later, and Hao Yun is not sure if he will still remember this fifty yuan by then

Liang Ziyuan is the same age as you

Upon seeing the result, he was completely bewildered

Hao Yun: ... ... ?

Even though the memories have become hazy, he still remembers the drama queen in his dormitory from the previous life, who made everyone unhappy for the entire four years, and after graduation, they never gathered again

What is this thing

pursuing romantic interests

It seemed that there was no intention to engage in further conversation with him, so the boy politely nodded slightly and then left with a swift stride

Potential Value: 7

The memories of his previous life did not allow him to get a step ahead or achieve a modest comfort, nor did they bring him even a slight convenience in his daily life

Before Hao Yun could regain his composure to contemplate what he had just seen, a short boy wearing black-rimmed glasses happened to walk down from upstairs

His life has not been as fortunate as his name suggests; despite his utmost efforts, he could only gain admission to Jiangcheng University, and that was through adjustment, studying software engineering.

Moreover, in this world where electronic technology is exceptionally advanced, what is most abundant is probably software engineers

But who wants this world to be so realistic

Goodness, I've been unlucky for forty-eight years... shouldn't it be my turn to have some luck now?

In contrast, the development of the spiritual world is somewhat lacking, at least lagging behind the advancements in the material realm

Forget it, one cannot hold the same perspective as a dog.

However, unfortunately, things were not as simple as he had imagined

Wow, this guy was just a little short of being a complete fool

Talent: Mathematical Genius

Hello, hello, you must be Comrade Hao Yun. I have seen your name on the roster. My name is Zhu Kening, and I am also from this province. Speaking of our hometown, it is quite close, so let's get to know each other better in the future

It seems that flattering oneself in advance does not incur any loss

Compensating for the regrets of one's student days in a past life

Excuse me, may I pass by

Potential Value: ?

Do not do that, it is too outdated

Hao Yun : ? ? ?

Today is the first day of enrollment for new students

He remembers that his dormitory is 401, located at the corner of the staircase

Although I did not see his face directly, just by looking at his profile, I can conclude that during these four years in university, their dormitory probably did not have to worry about running out of chocolate. They might even be able to rely on this guy's WeChat account to scam food and drinks.

The foolish dog stood up, shook off the fleas, and wagged its tail as it returned to the room, leaving Hao Yun, who was half-squatting and preparing to greet it, feeling quite embarrassed

Purely out of a subconscious action, Hao Yun glanced at the mirror inlaid on the side cabinet

Thinking of that yellow dog downstairs in the dormitory, although I do not know why its talent is catching mice, it still has a potential value of 3

One must start learning from the very basics even when it comes to speaking, let alone subjects like language and mathematics

The character "Yun" in his name also comes from this.

Looking at the top of his head, Hao Yun nodded slightly.

This potential value is slightly inferior by two points compared to the mathematician he encountered downstairs earlier, but it is still sufficient to easily surpass two dogs, suggesting that he will undoubtedly become a significant figure in the future

This may sound somewhat awkward

Before the new calendar year, the countries that had not yet reached a consensus on key issues were all preoccupied with competition in the field of technology and military confrontations, leaving them with no time to attend to matters beyond their basic survival needs

Good luck to GTM

He can remember that the game he loved to play in his past life was called "LoL," abbreviated with three letters, but he cannot recall the gameplay, how many heroes are in it—nor even what the concept of a hero truly is.

Damn!

The only thing that Hao Yun can be certain of is that, whether in his past life or this life, he has never really had good fortune.

Does this mean that I am worse than a dog in the system's view?

In summary, these eighteen years have passed in a rather muddled manner

Originally, rebirth was a joyful matter, and at first, Hao Yun also believed this to be true

This time it is simply a question mark

Having navigated through the bustling crowd of new students, Hao Yun finally arrived at the base of the dormitory building

Moreover, considering that they are majoring in software engineering, won't their future assignments be assured

Perhaps in the eyes of many, this achievement is already quite commendable, but compared to the other imagined reincarnators, Hao Yun feels that he is simply weak beyond measure

If it were not for his maturity that far surpassed that of his peers, along with the occasional images that flashed through his mind, he would almost begin to doubt whether the so-called rebirth was merely an illusion of his own

examination

Ah ... ... I apologize

Talent: Programmer

The reason why other new students are beaming with bright smiles while Hao Yun appears listless is actually quite simple

In the year of the new calendar, the Human Alliance was established, achieving global harmony and unity, as humanity joins hands to advance together and explore a beautiful future.

Although the development trajectory over the next eighteen years varied, the differences in specific details were relatively limited
