CHAPTER 1 - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
"Ah, so comfortable!"
Stretching lazily, Li Zhenyu sat up straight facing the morning sun outside the window.
This was his third day of unemployment, having been fired once again for refusing to endure the capital's exploitation, all for the boss's Maserati.
It was his sixth dismissal in two months.
"As long as I lie low, the boss can forget about getting a new car every year. Hehe~"
Touching the 30,000 Korean won in his pocket, Li Zhenyu nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, should last for a week."
Suddenly, as if doing a carp jump, Li Zhenyu jumped out of bed and headed to the 'kitchen' in the corner.
This 20-square-meter single room was his foothold in Seoul.
"Ah, working hard all your life, is it really necessary?"
Self-consoling, Li Zhenyu shook his head playfully and filled a small pot with water.
From the cabinet below, he took out one bag, two bags, three bags of instant noodles.
Boiling water, adding a tomato when it started boiling.
A pinch of salt, after the tomato softened, adding the noodles.
Stirring...
Letting the tomato broth blend into the noodles, boiling for a minute and a half.
Cracking an egg directly into the pot, quickly stirring it with chopsticks to create scrambled eggs.
Adding the seasoning packet, a perfect homemade instant noodle dish was ready.
"Slurp, slurp~"
Satisfied, Li Zhenyu sighed. "Delicious!"
*Ding ding, energy recharge complete, self-cultivation system activated, initiating detection...*
*Detecting the host is currently an unemployed drifter... Location identified... Generating system.*
*The Big Brother's self-cultivation system, loading complete!*
*This system aims to cultivate the host into a law-abiding, highly respected big brother in society.*
"What the, what's this?!"
Li Zhenyu, holding chopsticks with instant noodles, froze in mid-air, his mouth wide open.
A system?
Haha, he knew there must be some cheat in time travel; it was just a matter of time.
Now, his cheat had arrived.
*Occupational positioning completed, now issuing rewards and first mission.*
*As a new era Big Brother, in terms of physique, temperament, and attire, all must align with the designated image.*
*Issuing occupational outfit: watch, big floral arm tattoo, golden set.*
Li Zhenyu was astonished. "Damn, no way, it's not easy to get into a factory with a big floral arm tattoo."
Wait, why think about going to a factory with a system?
But a big floral arm tattoo? He certainly didn't have that interest!
Unfortunately, the system clearly didn't have the habit of obeying his instructions.
On the low-legged square table in front of him, five brand new items suddenly appeared.
A thick golden chain with a small finger's radius, a pair of pure gold knuckle rings, and a two-finger-wide, weighty gold bracelet.
Just these three items alone must weigh at least a hundred grams.
Calculating based on the current gold price, wouldn't that be worth around fifty to sixty thousand yuan?
Li Zhenyu's first reaction was to sell these things.
Then, his gaze shifted to the shiny gold watch.
Gold dial, gold strap, gold accents.
Tacky, tacky, tacky, from the inside out, extremely low.
But it couldn't hide its inherent value as a Rolex.
Li Zhenyu took out his phone and quickly found the value of this Rolex online.
Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 Watch, 18K Yellow Gold, priced at 53 million.
"Sent."
Later, he'll sell it when he goes out.
*Warning, the occupational outfit is an exclusive reward, never to be abandoned or worn out, not subject to subjective loss.*
*If such a situation is discovered, the system will automatically uninstall, according to safety regulation 11019, self-destruction after destroying the existing carrier consciousness.*

What? Can't sell it?
Li Zhenyu's enthusiasm instantly diminished by half.
But then, he rallied again. If he couldn't sell it, he couldn't sell it. He could still show off with it.
However, could this be fake?
Considering the system's capabilities, it probably wouldn't give him counterfeit goods to fool him.
Li Zhenyu stopped hesitating, placed the large gold watch next to the other gold items, and picked up the last reward.
A pair of sleeve bands with a scarf, like a bib used by a child for meals.
But it was covered in tattoos, looking a bit intimidating.
First, he put it around his neck and then slid on the sleeves.
Li Zhenyu found that it seemed to blend seamlessly with his skin. He rubbed it with his hands, but there was no reaction.
"A sticker?"
Realizing he didn't need to be pierced with needles, Li Zhenyu became interested and walked to the mirror to see his current appearance.
A soaring eagle with its wings spread, the neck featuring the head of an eagle. The bright yellow eagle eye emitted a fierce and cold aura, as if it would come to life and devour someone in the next second.
The wings, extending from the shoulders to the arms, unfolded majestically. Turning around, when viewed from the back, the feathers on the wings were incredibly vivid, lifelike.
"From now on, going out without an ID is not allowed." Li Zhenyu shook his head in silence, pushing aside the things on the table to prepare to eat instant noodles.
"As a big brother, how can I eat instant noodles at home..."
*New mission: Have a dinner that befits the identity of a big brother.*
Li Zhenyu's expression went blank. He abruptly threw the fork in his hand into the instant noodles.
"Damn, can't I just enjoy a meal in peace?"
Looking at the incessantly flashing 'new mission' prompt in front of him, Li Zhenyu reluctantly picked up the bowl.
With a regretful gaze, he poured the just-cooked instant noodles, which he hadn't had a chance to taste, into the trash bag.
In the future, he would probably have to bid farewell to instant noodles.
Then, grabbing a jacket, he was about to leave.
*Reminder: Please wear the occupational outfit, or you will face penalties.*
"So many things, can't I just..."
Standing still, Li Zhenyu suddenly convulsed. His right hand rose higher than his head, his left hand hooked backward, and he danced in place.

Three seconds later, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Numb, his entire body felt numb.
The intense convulsions emptied his body, as if there was a hole inside, sucking away all his strength and thoughts.
Even his breath became erratic, as if he might stop breathing in the next second.
Several minutes later, Li Zhenyu suddenly took a deep breath and stood up straight from the ground, panting heavily.
He felt like he had just 'died' once, but in the final moments, he came back to life.
Li Zhenyu had no desire to experience that terrifying sense of fear and emptiness again.
He put on the large gold watch and hung the gold chain around his neck. Then, he intended to wear a gold knuckle ring on each hand.
After trying, he found it more convenient to wear both on one hand.
So, he placed them on the index and ring fingers of his left hand.
The knuckle rings had square faces, each engraved with a character.
The index finger had '和' (harmony).
The ring finger had 'å¹³' (peace).
Together, it spelled out '和平' (harmony and peace).
"Not bad, not bad. I'm a person who loves peace."
Holding the knuckle rings, Li Zhenyu stood in front of a second-hand 'mini pocket' mirror he bought at the flea market.
Bending his legs to adapt to his new look.
Overall, it didn't have a significant impact.
Apart from looking a bit fierce and intimidating, it didn't detract from the handsome and tough face in the mirror.
"Hmm~" Li Zhenyu rubbed his chin in satisfaction, standing up straight.
Grabbing the collar of his jacket, he pulled it down, straightening his clothes.
Li Zhenyu took out the trash, opened the door, and went downstairs.
He threw the garbage into the kitchen waste bin, thinking about where to eat.

What's the standard for a hearty meal? He couldn't afford to indulge in abalone and sea cucumber every meal—even if his body could take it, his wallet couldn't!
But when he thought about the 'unknown' rewards, Li Zhenyu couldn't just ignore them.
'It seems this time I'll have to use the card from home.'
Taking out a co-branded card from the deepest part of his wallet, Li Zhenyu's expression was filled with resignation.
The stubbornness of youth ultimately succumbed to the cold reality.
Too pitiful!
With the only obstacle now resolved, there was nothing left to hesitate about.
"Please take me to the nearest Hanu (Korean beef) restaurant."
Flagging down a taxi, Li Zhenyu headed straight to the 'luxurious restaurant.'
Eating Korean beef in South Korea is one of the symbols of a successful person.
A meal of Hanu should be fitting for the identity of a big brother!
