C4 The Afk System

Gao Mu watched the Rubik's Cube spinning endlessly under the light, a sense of wonder washing over him.

"Could this be some kind of newfangled magic prop?"

To alleviate the stress of Gao Mu's studies, his father, Gao Chen, often purchased intriguing magic props to help him unwind.

After spinning for several seconds, the Rubik's Cube suddenly soared in Gao Mu's direction.

Instinctively, Gao Mu shut his eyes, bracing for impact, but the anticipated pain never came.

"What happened?" Gao Mu opened his eyes, puzzled.

The Rubik's Cube had vanished.

Just then, an odd voice echoed in his mind.

"Ding! AFK system successfully bound!"

"Ding! AFK system has encountered a glitch, now repairing."

"Ding! AFK system has experienced an unexpected error, now repairing."

Gao Mu gazed at the desk lamp before him, a feeling he couldn't quite articulate stirring within him.

"System? AFK? What's all this about?" Though Gao Mu hadn't delved into online novels, he'd overheard enough from his classmates to get the gist.

From their discussions, Gao Mu had picked up quite a bit about these online tales.

"Is this a system trend?" Gao Mu mused, waiting for further instructions.

But the anticipated guidance never arrived.

"Something's off here," Gao Mu mused, attempting to summon the system as he'd read about in various stories.

AFK System (Repairing.)

Each day, you may select a skill to gain the corresponding experience level.

[Quest: In repair status, unable to receive corresponding quest.]

Mount point: In repair status, unable to receive corresponding mount points.

Note: In repair status, the system cannot be used normally.

Low-guarantee: Automatically receive 1 mount point daily as a minimal safeguard.

Repair time: 999 years.

"What?" Gao Mu was utterly stunned.

One moment, he thought he'd stumbled upon a treasure.

The next, he was engulfed in disappointment.

Gao Mu couldn't help but swear.

However, at that moment, Gao Mu noticed a tiny '1' appearing next to the mount point notification.

After scrutinizing it for a while, he confirmed the '1' was indeed there.

"AFK?"

Gao Mu began to think that perhaps this system could be the key to changing his circumstances.

"Ding! Please select an AFK skill!"

Gao Mu had been curious to try it out when he suddenly discovered that the AFK system was operational.

He glanced at his skills and was taken aback.

Gao Mu

Language Arts: Lv9

Math: Lv8

English: Lv2

Geography: Lv5

Civics: Lv3

History: Lv1

Physics: Lv2

Chemistry: Lv2

Biology: Lv5

His highest level was in Language Arts, at level 9, which meant he didn't have any skills above level 10.

"What do these skills represent?" Gao Mu was still somewhat puzzled.

His system was clearly different from the others.

Since his system wasn't an intelligent one, he had to figure it out step by step.

"Let's just try it."

With that thought, Gao Mu promptly selected Language Arts.

"Ding! AFK complete!"

The instant after he made his selection, he heard the confirmation that the AFK process was complete.
