“System installation complete...”

“Biological species identified...”

“Divine markings matched...”

“Environmental scan: anomalous energy detected...”

“Activating isolation zone...”

“Isolation successful...”

“System version G45-E6-23.11...”

“System starting...”

Before Liu Chao could gather his wits, line after line of text flashed before his eyes like a scrolling screen.

Though the words flew by too fast to take in, Liu Chao remembered the contents of every line, as if they had been imprinted on his mind. As for what they meant, he only half understood.

At last, one line remained in his field of vision.

“Stage mission: Save humanity. Please choose whether to accept within three seconds!”

What the heck?

Save humanity?

What’s with the three seconds?

“Mission to save humanity accepted successfully.”

“Current mission: Escape your pursuers.”

Damn it, what on earth is this thing? Save humanity? You’ve got to be kidding! I’m still dreaming of having the cute girl next door save me.

I must be dreaming.
