Chapter 0001: Rebirth, Time Travel, and the Incompetent System

A more significant piece of evidence is that the current President of the United States is a Latina woman, fifty-seven-year-old Michelle Gabel

Robert was instantly furious, jumped down from the driver's seat of the F150, and hurried into the small building

He has lived in the small town of Knox, Texas, since he woke up at the age of five, in a town outside of it

Over the years, his feelings have been akin to a person who learns early on that they have inherited a substantial fortune, yet must wait many years before they can actually receive it

What kind of system is this

The system, it is that treasure

Then ... ... there was still no response

Where is the task

Now it's all gone wrong; not only has he been sent to the hospital, but the graduation ball is also ruined

However, he knows that this is not the America of his previous life

After the ignition was turned on, the roar of the Ford Raptor erupted, swiftly charging onto the highway and speeding away

But the reality tells him that he cannot go back

Integral 0

The second category is the technology-oriented system, which provides items such as weapon technology, genetic enhancement, and interstellar warships

After Robert rushed upstairs, he saw Luke lying on the floor, unconscious.

Spirit 12, he probably understands this point, that spirit is related to the brain, or perhaps to the speed of brain processing

Indeed, this system is useful

Brave Detective System

In his previous life, he was a Chinese man, living a mundane yet safe existence until the age of thirty. He followed a routine, working as a clerk in a certain company, earning a salary sufficient for his meals, merely getting by without any remarkable features.

Indeed, he can gain experience and points

Experience 0

Experience? Of course I know that experience is necessary, but how does one acquire experience

The systems of protagonists in other novels are either intelligent or artificial intelligence, with personalities that can be aloof, scheming, tsundere, talkative, or cheeky, and they can chat and play during their free time

Luke was speechless: Why didn't you notify me earlier about the synchronization? Can't it be done a day in advance? The system actually gave him a ten-second countdown and then just started working.

Luke suppressed the urge to curse and called out once more with deep affection: "Come out, System Daddy!"

Luke complained inwardly: System, at least provide me with an interface or an attribute panel or something? What is this silence all about?

He had hope, for this was the world of his previous life, where he could once again find his parents and sisters. However, at that time, he did not know whether his parents and sisters would accept a white son and brother.

Mentality 12 (mentality: mental strength. Note, it is not intelligence, although 'men' can also imply intelligence, it does not apply here)

However, this mechanical intelligence has once again surpassed his imagination, officially activating and synchronizing, yet it still remains so quiet and inconspicuous.

Strength 12 (strength: power, physical strength, stamina)

User: Luke (alias Luke Coulson)

How much experience is required to level up, and what is the purpose of the level points? I can take my time to explore this, at least this system is not entirely useless

In the ward, apart from him, there was only Claire, who was curled up on the sofa not far away, sleeping soundly.

He has never mentioned this matter to anyone, as it would only lead Robert and Catherine to believe that he has gone insane

If all else fails, become a star, or a great writer, then transition to being a screenwriter; engaging in some regulations or the like is actually quite good

... ...

He has read quite a number of novels, particularly those in the system genre.

"Luke, you lazy bum, haven't you gotten dressed yet? If you don't come down soon, I'll make you go to the graduation dance in your birthday suit." Robert Grayson sat in the open driver's seat, leaning out to shout up at the building, his booming voice seemingly shaking the glass of the small building.

Staring at the ceiling above, he was momentarily lost in thought before recalling what had happened earlier, and his heart surged with emotion

Luke's feelings about this are quite complex

Just as he was changing into his formal attire upstairs, preparing to attend the high school graduation prom that evening, the system suddenly sent a message: "Host has been detected as an adult, the system is officially activated, synchronization will begin in ten seconds!"

My younger sister is here, and it seems that Robert brought her over

Secondly, technology-related topics are also acceptable, as once technology reaches a certain level, it is not necessarily inferior to the mysterious aspects.

This system is the legacy left by his previous life to this life

Well, it is not incorrect to say so

Alternatively, becoming a scientist and achieving great wealth as a new technology magnate would also be acceptable

He calmed down and began to study the system

As a laid-back youth from his previous life, Luke quickly abandoned this pointless entanglement

After more than ten years, Luke gradually let go of the entanglements from his previous life and became a native-born American

One minute later, Robert rushed out of the building carrying a young boy on his back, followed by a middle-aged woman with a panicked expression, who was holding a five-year-old boy by the hand

After a long thirteen years, Luke has been waiting for this moment.

Because in the previous life it was already the year 2018, in this life his date of birth is 1985

Thus, Luke grew up in a rather uneventful manner, studying, and today marks the day of his high school graduation prom, which is also his eighteenth birthday

After studying for half a day, Luke began to probe again

A moment later, a loud shout, not much quieter than the one he had just made, echoed from upstairs: "W! T! H!?" (What the hell?)

He still wants to complain about the environment in which he grew up

Since the age of five, he has been aware that he possesses a system

Why do other time travelers often end up as the sons of conglomerates, or in major cities like New York, while he inexplicably finds himself in a remote rural area of America where no one cares?

The three basic attributes are not particularly outstanding, but there are no weaknesses either; it is just uncertain whether the system can enhance these data points.

Of course, it is merely a hobby for him; he is just playing around. Therefore, his strength attribute is only 12, which is slightly above the average level.

But moments later, Luke, who was filled with joy, became entangled in his thoughts again

Luke was so furious that he felt like going crazy; he truly wanted to grab this system and give it a beating. Unfortunately, he didn't even know where this system was located

Worse still, his current girlfriend Ximena is supposed to dance with him. After standing her up, he wonders if he will be clawed to death by that little wildcat.

Abbreviation: Detective System

The things of the mysterious side are always so enigmatic and alluring

Are you jungling in the system

It is entirely due to him that he was able to live in this remote and impoverished area for thirteen years and even manage to graduate from high school... He is a systematic man

Then ... ... it was gone again

"Catherine, you drive and bring Joseph along. Be careful on the road and don't rush," Robert said hurriedly, turning his head to give a brief reminder to the middle-aged woman. He then placed the young boy in the back seat to lie down and quickly jumped into the driver's seat.

From the perspective of the three major physical attributes of Limin Jing, Luke can determine that the system data appears to be quite normal

Well, he does not know exactly where it exists

The system he received is not artificial intelligence at all; it is merely a mechanical imbecile, otherwise it is impossible to explain its completely unresponsive reactions

Upon seeing the beautiful scenery on television, the vast expanse of sky and land, he then spoke to himself, wishing that it would be wonderful to live there

One night, he fell asleep at home while watching an American TV series, which happened to be airing an episode about a case set in the rural United States

Upon paying closer attention to the surroundings, I noticed that there were almost no people moving about; it must be late at night, and the hospital is enveloped in silence

In response to this, Luke could only endure.

System, could you please respond? How do I upgrade?

Luke certainly desires the first type of system the most

Because the system needs to synchronize with his soul to complete the soul binding, his body, especially his brain, cannot withstand the impact during synchronization before he reaches adulthood, making it very easy for him to die

Luke's repeated probing finally stirred the system, and a line of information finally appeared on the panelless panel

He had not yet figured out what to do when a severe pain surged through his mind, and in an instant, everything went dark before his eyes. The body's self-protection mechanism activated, allowing him to successfully lose consciousness.

However, these are issues that will need to be resolved later; for now, his attention is still focused on the system

What the hell?! Luke only had time to shout.

One day, Luke suddenly woke up to find that he had become a white child, a five-year-old little boy named Luke Coulson.

The third category is the final choice

Task: Become a formal police officer

Without discussing specific functions, most systems can be categorized into several types

The first category is the mysterious side system, which includes magical skills, cultivation, and superpowers provided to the owner.

I have to force you before you give me the task

Although Luke is not particularly concerned about the past presidents of the United States, he is aware that there has never been a woman among the previous U.S. presidents, nor has there ever been a Latino, let alone a Latina president.

Luke himself even went with the flow, occasionally joining a few fitness enthusiasts in his class for workouts and body sculpting

It is only because the system has certain requirements for the brain that it is automatically activated at the age of five, and retrieves his past memories

It can be inferred through simple logic that since the system has provided the data, generally speaking, this data is likely to be improvable

Level 0

Luke felt overwhelmed with gratitude upon receiving this message: Thank you so much!

Luke no longer has the strength to be angry with this system

As soon as I thought of this, some data began to emerge in my mind

Ah, Luke, what is wrong with you, you little rascal?" Robert's loud shout echoed again, followed by a woman's voice.

Deadline: one month

A day later, Luke awoke from his coma

The system defaults the average values of these three attributes for an ordinary person to 10, while Luke has a strength of 12, agility of 11, and spirit of 12

In other words, his strength is slightly above the average level of ordinary people, which may be attributed to the fact that most people here are accustomed to outdoor labor, and students also enjoy engaging in sports

Subsequently, he was taken to the hospital by Robert, where he awoke after a day of unconsciousness

Agility 11, it seems that he did not undergo targeted training, thus he is only slightly above average

The system insists on playing dead, what options does he have

Conversely, the area here is surprisingly vast; it is common to drive for dozens of minutes after leaving the town without seeing a single household

Dexterity 11 (Dexterity: nimbleness, agility)

Then ... ... it was gone again

However, this system shows no response at all; it is like a stone, completely still, with only he able to sense its existence.

Unlike the panel he had imagined before, this data appeared directly in his mind without the need to look, as there was no panel at all

Moreover, a message from the system informed him that it would be officially activated after he reached adulthood

Firstly, he could not think of a way to return, and secondly, his parents and sisters were there to take care of him. He only hoped that his disappearance would not cause them too much sorrow, although that was impossible.

Reward: Experience 10, Points 10

The residents of this small town called Shackford number only a little over 2,000, which is comparable to the population of a small village in China from his previous life

This indicates that he holds a rank within this system and can also earn experience and points

At that time, the five-year-old, who was still somewhat confused, realized that he was not a person from this world in his previous life

As for Luke's own origins, it must be traced back thirteen years ago

Although he had been cursing the useless panel provided by the system in his heart, it actually had some utility.

The third category is the reality-side systems, which include roles such as being a star, a writer, a scientist, a villain, or a good person.

He has called the system "father, grandfather, and also your uncle" more than once, but after receiving no response, he recklessly called the system "son, grandson, and even "turtle grandson" as if it were a common occurrence, yet it remains utterly unmoved

The system suddenly became active

After that, the memory of that world was lost

Note: The English annotation is for reference. Upon the reminder from a fellow book friend, I have changed the intelligence attribute to spirit, as this aligns better with my intended definition of this attribute. This also prevents any misunderstanding that increasing intelligence would lead to an improvement in IQ. In the future, whenever you see the intelligence attribute, please replace it with spirit, as it may have been an oversight that was not modified.

Memories from before the age of five still exist, and there is no difference compared to normal children; all that should be remembered is remembered, while memories from too early are lost

But he immediately suppressed this emotion, quickly glanced around, and discovered that he was in a hospital ward

Luke then closed his eyes and called out tenderly in his heart: "Come forth, system"

Secondly, there are three data points: Level 0, Experience 0, and Points 0

System Sun zei

The attribute panel without a panel at all has no prompts, just a few isolated pieces of data

Then ... ... no response

There is no need for excessive entanglement; he understands from the system that he is not a soul possessing another after crossing over, but that Luke, this little brat, is indeed himself

At this moment, there is only his younger sister Claire, who is sound asleep beside him, just in time for him to open the treasure.

Only after waking up did he understand why the system was activated only after reaching adulthood

Well, still no response

Therefore, he did not soul travel back over twenty years, but rather completely appeared in another parallel world

Evidently, after he fell asleep that night, he inexplicably found himself in America in this world, and had transformed into a small infant

In the third category, there are occasionally elements and abilities from the first two categories, but the focus remains on reality

Then, there was a series of thumping sounds as someone ascended the stairs, followed by the sound of a door being slammed open

Luke couldn't help but murmur to himself: System, you should at least have a name, right

Upon seeing Claire, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief

Luke: "... ... System son?"
