C1 System Activation!

Over the weekend, in a dusty, old rental, the computer's fan hummed loudly while the screen displayed a paused movie.

"Here we go, here we go."

Lee Feng hurried in, clutching a steaming cup of instant noodles, and plopped down into the computer chair. He hit the play button and began slurping his meal contentedly.

This was his ideal way to spend time—as a modern-day homebody, there was nothing more delightful than sitting at his computer on a weekend, enjoying instant noodles, sipping on Fats' Happy Nectar, and watching movies all afternoon.

Of course, this was his only option. If he had a girlfriend, who wouldn't prefer spending a lazy weekend doing something a bit more intimate?

Lee Feng was actually quite handsome, standing at 1.8 meters tall with a fair and clean complexion. It was just that he was a bit too blunt and lacked finesse in conversation.

In the past, girls often chased after him, but his straightforwardness inevitably landed him in the friend zone.

Once, a female colleague invited him to play LoL with her.

He chose the jungler role, and she played mid lane. Things took a turn when he let her have the blue buff.

She had simply said thank you, but he blurted out:

"What are you being polite for, your mother?"

His response left her rolling her eyes in exasperation. And so, his reputation as a 'Straight Steel Man' began to circulate in the office, causing all the ladies to keep their distance.

On his computer, a movie from K Country, "The Journey to B City," was playing.

It was undeniably a great film, but due to its graphic violence, it was banned by our beloved censorship deity, the Great God River Crab.

Nevertheless, that didn't stop film enthusiasts from sharing it online, which was exactly why Lee Feng was now watching a pirated version.

"The Journey to B City" unfolds on a high-speed train from Seoul to B City.

The protagonist, Shi Yu, had been too caught up in work to spend quality time with his daughter, Xiu An.

When Xiu An decides to take the KTX train to B City to see her mother, Shi Yu reluctantly joins her, not anticipating the journey ahead.

Little did he know, as the train departed, a girl infected with a zombie virus would unleash chaos, rapidly spreading the contagion and plunging everyone into a nightmare.

This zombie virus had subtle differences from the one in Resident Evil.

Upon infection, victims' eyes would turn stark white, eerily reminiscent of rabies. Within moments, they would become frenzied, biting anyone in sight, with the virus spreading at an alarming rate.

Yet, these zombies had a significant flaw: in the dark or when their vision was obscured, they could only navigate by sound.

This gave the protagonist plenty of opportunities to outwit them.

Nearly two hours into the movie, he was so engrossed, the tension and thrill made him forget to slurp his instant noodles.

Of course, Lee Feng would never admit it was partly because he felt queasy.

Glancing at the now-cold noodles, he wavered. It wasn't just any bowl of noodles—it cost four yuan and was his favorite sour cabbage beef flavor.

"Ah well, I'll pass."

With a sense of resolve, he set the bowl aside on his computer desk.

Unexpectedly, as he moved the noodles over the keyboard, disaster struck.

A clumsy slip sent the bowl tumbling, drenching the keyboard in a deluge of broth.

"Damn."

The mishap unfolded in an instant, leaving him only time to blurt out a classic expletive before lunging for his keyboard—his brand-new mechanical keyboard, a recent Pinduoduo purchase.

But as his fingers grazed the keys, another shock awaited.

A fierce electric shock shot straight into his brain, triggering an involuntary defense mechanism before he could react.

"Damn, it's electrified~"

That was Lee Feng's final thought before blacking out.

Time passed before Lee Feng, sprawled on the floor, twitched his fingers.

He slowly opened his eyes and propped himself up on the bed, a wave of relief washing over him.

"Damn, no more cheap stuff from Pinduoduo. I got lucky this time, but who knows about the next."

As he muttered to himself, a robotic voice echoed in his mind.

Ding! Congratulations, host. The Limitless Movie System is now bound and activating.

99, 98...

3, 2, 1, activation complete.

"System? Binding?"

Lee Feng, nursing a throbbing headache, paused in surprise.

As a quintessential otaku, he was no stranger to the concept of a system—a perfect tool designed to transform its owner into a wealthy, attractive man, destined to marry a beautiful, affluent woman. Yet, he never imagined such a thing would happen to him.

"Heh, seems like a little shock has its perks."

A thought struck him, and he quickly inquired in his mind:

"System, what capabilities do you possess? Can you introduce yourself?"

No sooner had he spoken than the system's voice echoed in his thoughts.

The system's full name is the Unlimited Movie System, capable of guiding the host through any movie. Complete the tasks assigned by the system, and earn corresponding rewards.

"Awesome, that's fantastic!"

The mention of rewards sent a wave of excitement through Lee Feng. Products from the system were guaranteed treasures, and this was no laughing matter.

Besides, as a tangible entity, he was familiar with every movie plot, making task completion seem effortless.

"Wait, hold on."

A smug Lee Feng abruptly remembered something crucial and asked urgently:

"System, if I die in the movie world, does that mean I'm dead for real?"

Not at all, host. Should you die in the movie world, you'll return to reality as if you've simply failed a mission.

"Whew, that's a relief."

Lee Feng breathed easier upon hearing the system's response.

Given the current trend of martial arts and fantasy films, he reckoned that surviving with his current abilities would be an achievement, let alone fulfilling any tasks.

[Is the host ready? The journey through dimensions is about to commence!]

While Lee Feng was mulling over his situation, the system's voice intruded upon his thoughts.

"What the heck? I'm not ready! Why is it starting already?"

He was utterly baffled. Wasn't there supposed to be a novice gift pack?

Why the sudden start?

As if reading his mind, the system's voice chimed in.

Please be assured, host. The Novice Gift Pack will be tailored to your first adventure into another world.

"Got it, sure thing!"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Lee Feng agreed with little hesitation. All he cared about was that the system didn't take away his newbie gift pack—that was all that mattered to him!
