Lin Fan is an utterly ordinary, even somewhat down-on-his-luck college student who has spent years in the shadow of self-doubt, mockery, and failure. He ranks at the bottom of his class, is an outsider among his peers, and sees nothing but a bleak future ahead. Even he is about to accept this life of destined mediocrity.
Then, late one rainy night, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rings out in his mind:
[Ding! The Fate-Defying System has been activated!]
[Beginner’s mission: Run three kilometers. Reward: 500 yuan in cash.]
Is it a prank? A hallucination? Or the last straw in his despair? With nothing to lose, Lin Fan takes his first step.
From that moment on, his life takes a completely different course!
Can he earn money just by running? Improve his intelligence by doing practice problems? Complete missions to gain skills, attribute points, and even mind-boggling high-tech gear? Every seemingly impossible task brings real rewards and genuine transformation!
From dazzling his classmates and getting some face-slapping payback for their mockery, to winning the favor of an upperclasswoman and teaming up with her; from a good-for-nothing in physical fitness to a martial arts expert; from a programming novice to a tech genius... With the System that suddenly appeared, Lin Fan tears away from his former wretched life at astonishing speed and gradually takes control of his own destiny.
But where did the System come from, and what purpose and danger lie behind it? When yesterday’s worm begins to shine, it attracts not only amazement and envy, but also unpredictable scrutiny, jealousy, and challenges as deep as an abyss.
This time, Lin Fan clenches his fists and fixes his gaze ahead. Whether the System is a gift from God or the whisper of a demon, he will seize this one chance and stake everything on defying fate!
