Tian Buchen receives a special mission from the quick transmigration department. He has to travel to various small worlds, draw random Systems, and test how useful they are.
Tian Buchen says: Easy peasy. I'll do my best.
Three months later, the department stares at a page filled with SSS ratings and falls into deep thought.
Something's not right... There should be at least one useless System. How did every single one get a perfect score?
1. Post-apocalyptic wasteland world x palace intrigue System.
Tian Buchen: Palace... intrigue?
A legend begins to circulate across the wasteland: The new leader of the largest base has three kinds of powers, poison, healing, and strength. On top of that, he is silver-tongued, and has repeatedly pulled despairing teammates out of a quagmire of hopelessness...
Tian Buchen, who has maxed out skills in poisoning, pharmacology, slapping, and slander, at the base: Hehe.
A retired big shot from the base pinches the back of his neck and says in a low voice: "Can't you even focus when you're doing this?"
Tian Buchen gives a light cough.
Oh, right. He remembers now. He also put points into the ability to bewitch a ruler.
2. Fictional undercover cop-and-gangster world x dating simulator System.
At first, Tian Buchen: Are you crazy?
After investigating for a while...
He discovers that his colleagues, superiors, and opponents are all on the romance list. And whenever he draws a romance card for a particular person, the System forces them into a romance storyline.
Tian Buchen: (eyes lighting up) So it forces them to follow the plot? Isn't that basically an overpowered area-of-effect control ability I can use anytime, anywhere?
3. Sanity-destroying horror infinite-flow dungeon x beauty System.
Tian Buchen: ...What use is that? Am I supposed to be irresistible to every ghost?
But he doesn't need that. He's already handsome enough.
Inside the dungeon, a terrifying, ghostly monster, crawling with eyeballs and disgusting enough to drain your sanity, crawls up to Tian Buchen.
The monster freezes.
The monster is confused.
Ordinary people scream and run away when he's still a hundred meters off, but this person neither screams nor runs.
Monster: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Tian Buchen strokes his chin and looks at the person in front of him. The person is sitting in a wheelchair, his face wrapped in bandages, with only one eye showing.
Tian Buchen sighs. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
The beauty System, whose camera has just flipped the image around: This is bad.
D-do I need to warn the Host?
4. Imperial examination story x tabletop roleplaying dice System.
During an ordinary essay question in the eight-legged essay format, Tian Buchen rolls the dice and gets the result: [Failure].
During the toughest palace examination policy essay, Tian Buchen rolls the dice and gets the result: [Great Success].
Rumors spread outside: "Is this... a hint that the imperial examinations are rigid and the court is corrupt?" "He's too arrogant." "The emperor seems to favor him."
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Tian Buchen: I didn't, I swear.
By the way, can the emperor on top of me get up first...?
