Chapter 2

The last sound of the ten-second countdown fell, and an unpredictable sharp tingling pierced through his mind. Han Zhuoyu couldn’t stop moaning and woke up from his coma. Only then did he find that he was back in the original room and was curling up in the swivel chair.

The inorganic electronic sound continues, as if it is in his ears and inside his mind,【Binding success, start scanning the host.】The weak electric current runs through his body, and the sharp pain in his brain has subsided, but the feeling of being invaded by foreign matter is not wonderful. Han Zhuoyu was expressionless and looked very calm, but only he knew that the hairs on his whole body were erected.

【Host name: Han Zhuoyu; Age: 15; Gender: Male; Race: Human Race; Physical Score: 2 points, the highest value of ordinary human race is 10; Intelligence: 75 points, the highest value of ordinary human race is 100 points; No ability ; spiritual power is 80 points, the highest value of ordinary humans is 100 points; physical strength is 1 point, and the highest value of ordinary humans is 10 points; brain development is 10%; sanctity is 0. The comprehensive assessment grade is F grade.】 What are these? Han Zhuoyu tried to block out the previous sounds he didn’t like, but found that he couldn’t do it. Because this voice exists in his mind, like a part of his body, completely irresistible.

【Hello, host. 】The inorganic electronic sound politely greeted.

 Although irresistible, you can choose to ignore it. Han Zhuoyu, with strong mental strength and high endurance, pretends he didn’t hear anything and calmly pulls out a paper towel to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

【Hello, host!】The tone of the inorganic electronic sound is a bit eager, and it still has a childlike immaturity after listening carefully.

Han Zhuoyu continued to wipe his sweat slowly.

The electronic voice disappeared for a few seconds. Just as Han Zhuoyu was ready to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, a mighty and passionate music exploded in his mind. A powerful male voice was singing with full enthusiasm—learning from Lei Feng’s good example, loyal to the revolution and the party, having a clear sense of love and hate, never forgetting his roots, stand firm and have a strong fighting spirit, stand firm and have a strong fighting spirit. Learning from Lei Feng’s good example, we are willing to be the screw of revolution…1

Han Zhuoyu’s sweaty hands began to tremble.

The vigorous music finally ended. After waiting for a few seconds, the host still didn’t pay attention to him, so he changed to a slightly soothing melody. The affectionate female voice sang slowly—this is the call of the heart, this is the dedication of love, this is the spring breeze of the world, this is the source of life. No more desert without heart, no more wasteland of love, death will be discouraged, and the flowers of happiness bloom everywhere. Ha…as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world; ha…as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will…2

”Enough, please turn it off!” After playing the two songs repeatedly, Han Zhuoyu said weakly in his mind.

【Host, you finally responded to me!】The voice of the electronic sound jumps up and down, sounding very happy.

”What are you?” Han Zhuoyu tried to communicate with each other. This way of communication, just like he usually talks to himself, does not exceed his safe range, which makes him quickly accept the current strange situation.

【I’m not a thing, I am an intelligent system. Lei Feng System 9527 reports to the host! 】The electronic sound introduced itself seriously. If he had arms and legs, he would surely give the boy the most standard Federal Army salute.

”Lei Feng System? What is that?” Han Zhuoyu knew Lei Feng and the system, but he was confused by the combination of the two nouns.

【I’m from planet C14 in the Galaxy Year 4075, and I came to Earth by accident through a space crack. My inventor is Dr. Eric, he is the most genius scientist and the most powerful psychic in the whole Federation! He was born in the year 4013, human race…】

“Please get to the point.” Han Zhuoyu flatly interrupted 9527’s endless praise of Dr. Eric.

【Dr. Eric devoted his whole life to maintaining world peace and eliminating racial discrimination and violence. Since he got the information about Comrade Lei Feng from the ancient relics, Dr. Eric regarded him as an idol and tried to spread the spirit of Lei Feng in the violent Federation. But his actions were detected by the military…】

“Please, say, key, point.” Han Zhuoyu deliberately slowed down. The alien system really can’t understand people.

【Okay, okay. 】9527’s immature electronic voice trembled and said in a passionate tone, 【Comrade Lei Feng once said that human life is limited, but there is no limit to serving the people. I will devote my limited life to ‘serving the people’! Therefore, the biggest task of this system is to urge the host to serve the people infinitely, and finally achieve the highest CG3 – the living Lei Feng in the new century!】Han Zhuoyu was silent for several minutes before he could speak, “What does it mean to serve the people?”

【It is to help those in need and get their appreciation value.】 9527 diligently explained.

”What’s the use of appreciation value?”

【Appreciation value is positive energy, accumulating a certain amount of positive energy can help the system upgrade.】‘So,’ Han Zhuoyu nodded slowly, “The ultimate goal is actually to upgrade you.”

【When, of course not! The purpose of upgrading the system is to better serve the people!】 9527 sounds a little guilty. He hurriedly opened a transparent interface in the teenager’s mind, which showed: Name: Han Zhuoyu, Age: 15, Gender: Male, Race: Human, Physical Ability: 2, Intelligence: 40, Ability: None, Mental Power: 80, Physical Strength: 1, Brain Domain Development Degree: 10%, Sanctity Degree: 0 , Appreciation Value: 0

【See, this is your property panel. While helping me to level up, you will also get the corresponding attribute points, and eventually evolve into the best comrade in the world, who have ideals, ethics, culture, discipline, and comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, sports, beauty, and labor!】 9527 proudly announced.

”What is sanctity?” Han Zhuoyu felt his head hurt again.

【Ah, sanctity will greatly enhance the host’s temperament, make the host look extremely holy, easily win the trust and favor of anyone, and get more gratitude. The host’s current sanctity is 0, and the temperament is gloomy and disgusting, which is extremely detrimental to the cause of serving the people! Please improve the sanctity as soon as possible! Every 100 points of appreciation will be exchanged for 1 point of sanctity. The full value of sanctity is 10 points, which will be automatically exchanged by the system.】 9527 explained with due diligence.

Han Zhuoyu threw away the wet tissue and asked seriously, “Can the system be uninstalled?”

【No!】 9527’s tone suddenly rises.

”There is no system that cannot be uninstalled.” Han Zhuoyu retorted calmly.

【9527 can’t! 9527 has been bound to the host, unless the host dies, 9527 cannot be uninstalled!】 Pausing for a few seconds, the tender electronic voice hastily added,【However, when 9527 reaches level 4, it can use positive energy to condense the entity and completely separate from the host. Look, this is my entity! The host will love it!】A small and lovely silver electronic dog appeared in the teenager’s mind, with a ‘woof’ twice.

”How to upgrade you?” Han Zhuoyu looked at the puppy with an expression of indifference.

【Level 0-1 requires 1,000 points of appreciation; Level 1-2 requires 10,000 points; Level 2-3 requires 100,000 points; Level 3-4 requires 1,000,000 points, and so on. The highest level of the system is 10, please work hard! Accumulation of a certain amount of appreciation points, the system will not use it to upgrade immediately, but exchange it into attribute points and allocate them to the host reasonably to comprehensively improve the host’s physical functions.】 In the last sentence, 9527 deliberately accentuated his tone to show his selflessness.

At level 10, the amount of appreciation points required for each promotion is doubled. It is indeed unlimited “serving the people.”. Han Zhuoyu’s tone became more flat, “Why me?”

【After the system came to Earth, 2,194,728 players were tested. The host is the only one who keeps awake from beginning to end and neither thinks that he has crossed nor that he is reborn. It can be seen that the mental power of the host is strong enough to withstand the impact of radio waves when the system is implanted into the brain. Most importantly, among all testers, 71% chose to help their friends, 29% chose to commit suicide with their friends, and 99.99999% were affected by negative emotions. Only the host looked on coldly from the beginning to end. The degree of selfishness has reached the point of madness and disgust. Therefore, the value of the system can be maximized only by binding with the host.】 The virtual puppy stiffened its chest.

”I know.” The conversation ended in a faint tone, with a premonition that his peaceful life was about to be broken. Comrade Han Zhuoyu, who suffered from mild autism and facial paralysis for more than ten years, finally showed a subtle expression similar to distress.
