Urban: The System That Kills Me If I Don't Show Off

At a class reunion, Zhang Yang lounged with a cigar in his mouth, gesturing grandly as he bragged about the modest goal he'd set for himself: first, make a billion.

At an awards ceremony, Zhang Yang arrived decked out in extravagant finery. Striding onto the stage with a devilish swagger, he declared that he would win an Oscar next year.

At an entrepreneurs' summit, dressed plainly, Zhang Yang told a billionaire business magnate that he regretted ever founding his company.

"I don't care whether my friends are rich or not. Either way, none of them are richer than me," Zhang Yang said in an interview.

"I'm face-blind. I can't tell whether someone is pretty or not, and that's not why I'm with her." Zhang Yang expressed his helplessness when talking about his wife.

After transmigrating into the body of a dying man, he gains the Big Shot System. He can only keep himself alive by showing off.

"I've got to show off! If I don't, I'll be wasting my parents' talents. And if I don't show off... I'll die." So says Zhang Yang.
