Chapter 0003: The Useless System

The towering trees stand lush and upright, while not far away, a shallow layer of moss spreads across the ground. Just a little to the north, a pond framed by the trees is revealed under the slivers of sunlight, resembling a glowing silver necklace.

Chen Haoran finally sensed something strange. Holding his head, he recalled carefully, and after thinking it over, he realized that all he had were memories of himself being a useless person for thirty years in the future. In fact, in the last of those memories, he was still living as a useless person, and there was no causal reason for his future self to be reborn. It was as if he had been sitting on a cold bench, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, and then in the next moment, he found himself reborn as a 16-year-old.

The reason this area has been able to maintain the environment established at the time of its founding even after thirty years is quite simple: the core municipal government complex has not relocated in the past thirty years. Additionally, the other two cores, City No. 1 Primary School and City No. 1 Kindergarten, are also located in this area and have not moved in the past thirty years

We apologize, but the mall cannot be opened because you do not have any points, and points can only be obtained by completing tasks that you need to claim.

This is merely the cry of defeat from those martial artists who are widely regarded as following the "physical technique" path. After all, in the future, those who follow the "spiritual" system will be referred to as masters, while those who pursue the "physical technique" system will be called martial artists, with their statuses being worlds apart. Martial artists strive in every possible way to stand alongside the masters, yet they are always unable to achieve this, as the masters remain perpetually aloof.

Why is your data missing? How much is missing?" Chen Haoran asked with a frown, filled with suspicion, as many issues had been attributed to data loss by the system; it would be strange not to be suspicious.

It is indeed a strange matter; it is quite normal for kindergartens and elementary schools not to relocate for as long as 60 years, but it is truly astonishing that the municipal government compound has also not relocated for 60 years.

Skill: None

Host, this is the information provided by the system itself. Due to a significant portion of the data being missing, there are no detailed sources for this information

Chen Haoran recalled the previous deceptive task and immediately shuddered, damn it, who would dare to undertake such a task! I would truly prefer to be electrocuted instead

Host: Chen Haoran, Male, 16 years bone age

Chen Haoran, this old salted fish with memories spanning the next thirty years, is certainly well aware of these matters. He reached the first stage of [spiritual] development at the age of 16, and in the future, he will undoubtedly be regarded as a genius. Moreover, having reached the first stage, he can already be referred to as a young master, and various major forces will go to great lengths to recruit and cultivate him.

Chen Haoran cast his gaze towards the back wall of the municipal government compound, where he could see that the metal railings had decayed beyond recognition, yet the trees within were astonishingly lush, exuding an air of antiquity and charm

He is currently feeling a bit of a headache. If it weren't for this inexplicable system that has suddenly appeared, he could have confidently navigated the future relying solely on his memories from the next thirty years! Now, with the addition of this system, which is so unreliable, who knows if he will stumble and fall to his death due to the disruptions caused by this system while he is climbing to the peak using his future memories!

Physical techniques represent everything related to the body. Whether you practice internal or external skills, any form of cultivation associated with the body falls within the scope of physical techniques.

The term "Spirit" represents mental strength, and everything related to mental strength is classified under the statistical category of "Spirit." This includes abilities, spells, Taoist arts, and so forth, all of which fall under this major category.

When the data of [Martial Arts] reaches the fifth level, it can generate a type of energy that continuously acts upon oneself. In other words, upon reaching the fifth level of [Martial Arts], one will automatically possess the skill of Sky Dance, allowing for free and effortless movement in the air

Damn it! Chen Haoran could only curse this way.

However, Chen Haoran felt no joy at all, because he was baffled as to why the system that inexplicably appeared in his mind would have its own statistical method for the future framework! Was this based on the memories in his mind, or was the system inherently designed with such a statistical method?

Chen Haoran appeared somewhat dazed, not due to his own data, but rather in shock at the fact that this system displayed such a project

The bicycle veered off the main road and quickly twisted and turned through the alleys, finally arriving at a place that Chen Haoran was more than familiar with—the municipal government compound

Strange, it seems that a significant portion of my future memories is also missing. Could it be the doing of this bizarre system? It has lost one-third of the data, causing a large segment of my memories to be lost as well

[Physical Skill: Level 0.8 (The standard for an ordinary adult is Level 1.0, which has not been met)]

Chen Haoran murmured, shaking his head as he asked again: "System, what is the situation with those two major sections, the mall and the tasks?"

As for the tasks, there are currently no tasks available. The tasks that can be accepted will only appear intermittently. The host is requested to collect and complete them on time; otherwise, the penalties will be increased.

However, there is no way; this unreliable system also exists in my own mind, and I can't seem to drive it out. Forget it, I might as well ignore this system and rely on my memories from the next thirty years to climb to the peak.

The system immediately displays the three-dimensional portrait information of Chen Haoran

"So, are you saying that the only function you can still display is my status?" Chen Haoran said with a sneer

After being angry for a while, Chen Haoran said irritably: "Show me your so-called comprehensive reminder service."

Why do I always talk about memories from the next thirty years? Is it possible that I will live for another thirty years?

I took out my phone to unlock a shared bicycle, looked up to check the direction, and then pedaled furiously away.

The mall cannot be opened due to the lack of points, and points must be obtained by completing tasks, which appear at irregular intervals

Why is there a deficiency? The system data does not provide an answer, and more than one-third of the data is missing. The system also responds quite straightforwardly.

Mental: First level, first segment (the standard for ordinary adults is zero level, first segment, exceeding the standard by 11 times)

It can be said that when both sides are of the same rank, the "spiritual" aspect absolutely overwhelms the "physical technique"! However, there is a legend that when the "physical technique" reaches the ninth rank, it will undergo a transformation, becoming capable of contending with the ninth rank of "spiritual".

"Pah, wasting my time!" Chen Haoran stood up and patted his backside, deciding to simply ignore the existence of the system from now on

Looking at the street that has hardly changed in thirty years, Chen Haoran couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia

The realm of the spirit far surpasses that of physical techniques in many aspects. Once it is known that the data of the spirit reaches the third level, a form of spiritual power will automatically manifest, allowing one to control their body to soar through the skies, demonstrating just how much stronger it is compared to physical techniques.

"System, where did you get this data?" Chen Haoran asked with a stern expression

... is.

The reason is simple, because in the future, the data of this "physical technique" and "spirit" will be spread throughout the world. Each level consists of ten segments, and once the ten segments are filled, one will be promoted to the next level. As for the maximum level, no one knows, because according to Chen Haoran's memory, in the next thirty years, the most powerful individuals will only reach level eight.

Chen Haoran looked at this place with shining eyes; in his memories of rebirth, this was once a mysterious location.
