Chapter 1: Private Customization

Little Fish, why are you calling me now

Ah, then that's it, I will hang up now. The landlady said this and hung up the phone

On a nearby long bench, a young couple is sweetly embracing each other, discussing which restaurant to go to for a meal.

Ding, the collection system installation is complete. May I ask if you accept this system and wish to become a system collector

It has been a year since graduation, and I truly feel that I have achieved nothing!

I opened my eyes and looked around, but there was not a single person in sight. What is going on? I clearly heard someone speaking in my ear

With both hands resting on the back of the chair, I closed my eyes to prepare for a few minutes of rest, murmuring to myself: "The weather is fine, the sunlight is shining all around, may the heavens grant me blessings, and I hope to achieve something in the afternoon"

Twisting open the water bottle, I took a sip, opened the bread bag, and watched the river water flowing gently before me, taking bites of the bread one mouthful at a time

It now seems that even this job cannot be retained

Jiang Hao was shocked; was he about to become a delivery person, or perhaps a cosmic version of a delivery person

He looked around and found that there was not a single person nearby, while the screen followed his gaze, unwavering and inseparable.

One cannot blame others; it is one's own poor academic performance in the past that led to not being admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University, or failing to enter the 985 or 211 projects

Jiang Hao and the family of the books live in the countryside, having no foundation in this city at all, and there are no relatives or friends to promote to. Moreover, even if there were, he does not wish to exploit the money of relatives and friends, so he can only brace himself to develop new clients

Jiang Hao is, after all, a young man, usually quite bold. He took a deep breath, preparing to see what it was.

Insurance companies recruit a large number of sales agents each year, primarily to leverage the resources that these newcomers possess. They provide training, indoctrination, and outline a promising blueprint for you, subsequently encouraging you to sell insurance to your relatives and friends

This system originates from another higher-dimensional cosmic space, self-identified as the Second Universe. The civilization of that universe has developed to an extremely advanced level, with technological capabilities beyond the imagination of Earth humans. Currently, it is dedicated to the pursuit of spiritual realms and engages in cultivation through the experience of different sensations to achieve higher levels.

Who is it

The phone rang, and Jiang Hao picked it up to see that it was the landlord aunt's phone number. Jiang Hao paused for a moment, took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and said with a smile: "Hello, Aunt Cheng."

Alas, if one cannot even sustain oneself, love is an even greater luxury

At the moment when Jiang Hao closed his eyes to rest, he was unaware that an invisible beam of light was penetrating through the barriers of space, traversing the endless void of the universe, and passing through the Earth's atmosphere

Putting down the phone, Jiang Hao let out a sigh, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a hint of worry. The day before yesterday, he had just sent 3,000 yuan home; his father needed money for medical treatment, the family needed money for living expenses, and his younger siblings also needed money for school. Now, he only had 800 yuan left for living expenses in his card.

The employment pressure faced by university students today is beyond imagination. Jiang Hao, a student majoring in economics at an ordinary second-tier university, sees that his classmates with connections have secured positions in banks and state-owned enterprises, those with networks have entered large companies, and some with influential fathers have returned home to become bosses. As for him, with nothing to rely on, he can only grit his teeth and venture into society.

Dragging my weary body, I sat down on a bench by the riverside park

"Brother Jiang, are you out there taking orders?" Xiao Yu asked

If he agrees, he will be the only collector on Earth

He is currently working as a salesperson at an insurance company, commonly referred to as an insurance salesman. This type of company recruits the most employees each year, and naturally, it also has the highest turnover rate. He originally believed that as long as he worked hard, he would surely achieve remarkable results

Find suitable collectors and begin installing the collection system

Little Fish lowered his voice and said, "There is something I need to tell you, so you can be prepared in advance. Just now, the manager announced something in the office, stating that in a couple of days there will be a business review. The bottom three performers in business this month are to be removed from the team, so be careful."

Ding ding ding ding, ding ding

However, just after he shouted the words "system," a transparent light screen suddenly appeared before Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao was taken aback, his eyes widened in shock, and he thought to himself, "What is this thing"

Jiang Hao comes from a rural area. He is not afraid of hard work or suffering, but reality tells him that it is not the case at all

However, Jiang Hao felt that this was more like a 'customized' service

Acquiring new clients is not that easy; as soon as people hear that it involves selling insurance, their expressions change immediately. Those with a good attitude may say they have no time, while those with a worse demeanor may even directly call security to have them thrown out

What Jiang Hao needs to do is to enter the movie world to help clients collect 'items' or gather 'feelings'. Once the collection is complete, the goods will be automatically sent to the clients. As the collector, he can receive corresponding rewards upon the completion of the task

In a daze, Jiang Hao only felt a voice ringing in his mind. Jiang Hao suddenly jolted awake, "Who is speaking to me!"

Oh, you said.

Alas, it seems I will have to live in the basement again

At that moment, his phone rang again. Jiang Hao picked it up and saw that it was a call from his colleague, Xiao Yu, a young girl in the office who wore glasses

Jiang Hao felt a twinge of envy; ever since leaving campus, love had also departed from him, and now, for him, being in a relationship was a luxury

Yes, what is it

This system can be regarded as a trading platform. After traversing space to arrive on Earth, this system collected information about Earth and selected the cinematic world of Earth as its resource base, sending Earth's films back to the Second Universe. If someone wishes to watch these films and wants to purchase related merchandise, they can place an order on this platform

After finishing the last bite of bread and taking two sips of water, he looked at the half bottle of Master Kong remaining, picked up the cap, and screwed it on, preparing to save it for the afternoon.

"Alright, I understand," Jiang Hao said with a smile

Putting down the phone, Jiang Hao pressed his lips together, revealing a faint bitter smile: "It seems that not only do I need to change my house, but I also have to change my job."

As he focused on the screen, a surge of information suddenly flooded into Jiang Hao's mind. After a while, Jiang Hao came to understand this so-called "collection system"

The Second Cosmic Civilization launched this system to countless dimensions, thereby collecting various materials and experiences from different realms. Jiang Hao was fortunate to become the collector for Earth in the Eighth Universe.

Information collection completed, searching for collectors

"Xiao Jiang, it should be time for a lunch break, right? I have something to discuss with you," the landlady said politely.

Arrived at the Eighth Universe, located a suitable planet, and began information collection

He lives in a shared apartment, which consists of only one single room, measuring over ten square meters. The monthly rent is 1,100, and the payment is made quarterly, amounting to 3,300 yuan. He truly cannot afford this amount at the moment

Jiang Hao's expression was slightly stunned, has this day finally arrived? The little fish on the other end of the phone could sense Jiang Hao's low mood and said: "Brother Jiang, I will hang up now"

But after shouting for a long time, no one responded. Jiang Hao, puzzled, murmured to himself: "I clearly heard something about a collector, something about a system. Could it be that I was so sleepy that I started hallucinating?"

Even immortality!

Jiang Hao took off his black suit, carefully folded it, and placed it on the briefcase. He loosened his tie, and only then did he feel a bit more relaxed

The couple across the way stood up, seemingly having decided where to go for dinner, and left hand in hand, their faces filled with sweetness

The landlord aunt said kindly, "The rent will be due in half a month. I will come by in a few days to collect it all at once. I am making this call to remind you."
