Lin Junheng was the undisputed champion of the combat rankings in an infinite-flow game. Even monsters had to give him a wide berth. After he cleared the game, its world wasted no time packing him up and sending him back to reality.
He was sick of a life filled with blades and bloodshed. All he wanted was to live quietly and peacefully from then on. He never expected the System that had accompanied him through years of the infinite game to come back with him, turning into a child who looked almost exactly like him.
Lin Junheng's parents insisted that this had to be his child! Even the fiercest tiger won't eat its own cub. No matter what the child had done wrong, he couldn't just abandon him!
Lin Junheng: "..."
He must have logged out of the infinite game the wrong way. So, what he meant to ask was, could this "son" be returned?
A few days later, his parents seemed to realize that talking him around was useless. So, under the pretext of strengthening the father-son bond, they forced Lin Junheng and his "son" onto a famous parenting reality show.
Afraid the System would ruin his peaceful life, Lin Junheng wanted to teach him what it meant to take things as they came.
Reality was often much crueler than anything he could imagine...
The fake son, who was actually the System, still retained its data. It could compose a poem in three steps and an essay in five, ace advanced mathematics and linear algebra, and occasionally discuss philosophical questions about the universe.
Other kids cried and threw tantrums because they didn't want to go to school. The fake son tried to persuade Lin Junheng to let him skip grades all the way to a master's and PhD.
Other kids rolled around begging for a model airplane from an aerospace exhibition. The fake son pointed at Lin Junheng and said they might as well build an airplane themselves. If an airplane wouldn't do, a bomber would work too.
Other kids beamed with innocent delight at the amusement park. The fake son first found it boring and noisy, then started seriously studying the park's business model and profitability, hoping Lin Junheng would use the data to build the world's number one amusement park.
From their initial shock to eventual acceptance, the father and son became famous in the strangest way.
[Who left the genius little darling from a domineering CEO's runaway-with-child story behind?]
[I thought you were just a kid spouting nonsense, so how can you actually build a bomber?!]
[It's fine, really. So what if I'm not as good as a six-year-old? It's fine! It's! Fine!]
Lin Junheng: "I'm tired. Let's just destroy the world.

Later, the fake son, who was only six, decided to play matchmaker for his own benefit.
The late emperor had barely begun his enterprise before meeting an untimely end. The plan stalled at its very first step.
System: "You really dare to ask me to teach you how to pursue Dad?"
The wealthy man stared at the child for a while, then slowly looked away. "...I don't dare."
He was afraid that one day they would both end up kneeling on a washboard in front of Lin Junheng, with no one around to save them.
