Wang Chang wonders if, without any special abilities or a System, he would have ended up just like he was in his previous life after transmigrating.
He worked himself to death in his last life, so in this one he just wants to lie flat. He has no particular talents and doesn’t want to work hard, so he chooses to take it easy.
He transmigrates to a parallel world where the technology tree has gone awry. VR can simulate ninety percent of real sensations, and robots handle all the physical labor.
All he wants this time is to be a lazy couch potato.
Then a System drops out of nowhere and assigns him a task called “Remember the Glorious Years,” asking him to turn the real hardships faced by ordinary soldiers a hundred years ago into a VR experience.
Wang Chang looks at the database entries: “amputation without anesthesia,” “company commander frozen to death on a snowy mountain,” “bugler killed at just fourteen.” He falls silent for three seconds, then asks the System:
“...Can I still lie flat?”
The System ignores him.
“Then, if I make it, will it be a hit?”
Wang Chang sighs.
“Whatever. I’ve finished my instant noodles anyway, and I’ve got nothing better to do.”
