C1 Miraculous System

"Hello, your takeout has arrived. Please come and get it."

In a residential neighborhood, Yang Wei, dressed in a yellow uniform, knocked on the door and called out.

The door was opened by a girl in pajamas, her attire disheveled and her hair a tousled mess. Yang Wei was taken aback not by her looks, but because he recognized her—she was his girlfriend from university, Zhang Lan.

"Yang Wei? How have you fallen so low as to deliver takeout? Things must be pretty bad for you, huh?" Zhang Lan recognized him as well.

Yang Wei remained silent; those days were long behind him.

"I always knew you wouldn't amount to much, which is why I left you. Looks like I was right, haha!" Zhang Lan said, accepting the takeout with a continuous stream of words that seemed to mock Yang Wei, as if it brought her joy.

"Lanlan? Who's that? Do you know him?" A shirtless man peeked out from inside the room.

"It's nothing, darling. Just an old college classmate. Can you believe he's a delivery guy now? We'll chat for a bit and then come inside. Don't rush," Zhang Lan responded sweetly, then turned back to Yang Wei with a look of scorn.

"This is my new boyfriend. He bought this house outright. Impressive, isn't it? At your rate, you'd have to work for decades to afford a place like this."

Yang Wei glanced over the house, which was around a hundred square meters. Given the local property prices, it might cost close to a million—not too pricey, but certainly out of his reach for many years.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. Don't forget to leave a good review."

Yang Wei turned and walked away, his inner turmoil known only to himself.

After leaving the neighborhood, Yang Wei took a deep breath and declared, "System, you win. I accept the mission!"

"Tsk tsk, I knew the host would accept," a commanding voice echoed in his mind.

Suddenly, the world seemed to whirl around him. As he came out of his daze, Yang Wei found himself standing in the midst of a vast desert.

Suddenly, Yang Wei's mind was flooded with unexpected information.

"Middle stage of Body Refining Realm, weapon: Black Bone Sword (Lower Grade Spirit Weapon). Eligible to return after slaying the Armor Piercing Beast."

This was the knowledge that had inexplicably appeared in Yang Wei's thoughts.

He glanced down at his attire, which had undergone a complete transformation. Gone were the delivery uniform he had been wearing moments before.

In its place, he was clad in simple cloth garments, barely clinging to his frame, with a long sword in hand.

The sword's gleaming white blade offered a reflection of Yang Wei's current visage.

Shockingly, it was an exact replica of himself!

What in the world was happening?

Just then, a beast as large as an elephant and resembling the Armor Piercing Beast lunged at him.

With an effortless stroke, Yang Wei aimed his sword at the Mountain Piercing Beast's eyes, and to his amazement, the sword sliced through as easily as if cutting tofu!

The Black Bone Sword met no resistance as it pierced through the eyes and guts of the beast.

The Mountain Piercing Beast, now thoroughly skewered, struggled briefly before succumbing to stillness, collapsing in a heap.

Yang Wei, staring at the pool of crimson blood, felt a sense of revulsion; he had never witnessed such a gruesome scene.

"Mission complete. You may return at any time!"

"Mission reward: strength of the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm."

A voice echoed suddenly in his mind.

"Could this be real?"

There was no doubt that his recent experiences were genuine. It seemed that upon entering the mission space, time in the outside world had come to a standstill.

Yang Wei meticulously reviewed the moment he transitioned from the mission space back to reality, noting that Zhang Lan had detected nothing unusual.

Mounting his electric scooter, Yang Wei settled into a secluded spot within an abandoned building.

As someone who often navigated the urban landscape, Yang Wei was no stranger to finding places to rest.

His respite here wasn't due to fatigue but a need to process the barrage of information that had surfaced in his mind.

Every word that had manifested was the doing of an entity known as the "Miraculous System."

The Miraculous System, selecting individuals at random from around the globe, had chosen Yang Wei as its fortunate recipient!

The recent mission could be seen as a boon from the Miraculous System. After all, the Mountain Piercing Beast posed no real threat; its movements were far too sluggish to be of any concern.

The Miraculous System had somehow become bound to his body.

Yet, no matter how much Yang Wei called out to it, the system remained as unresponsive as an inanimate object, completely ignoring him.

After trying unsuccessfully for over ten minutes to establish contact, Yang Wei gave up and left the unfinished building.

He had to get back to delivering food. After all, even with superhuman strength, it wasn't something he could dine on, right?

Since he hadn't found another way to make a living, he was stuck with food delivery for the time being.

Yang Wei was well accustomed to the monotonous grind of his delivery job and didn't find it particularly exhausting.

And so, the evening rolled around, and it was six o'clock.

Time to wrap up for the day.

Yang Wei returned to the Quick Arriving Company's headquarters, the hub of the delivery service he worked for.

He didn't own a car; to save money, he opted to rent one from the company. It was affordable on a monthly basis, and the company took care of any repairs, which was far more economical than buying his own vehicle.

He expertly navigated the electric scooter into the company's underground parking garage.

There, a dedicated clock-in device awaited. At the end of the day, all he had to do was park the scooter and clock out.

It was now past the normal quitting time, and the shift change drivers had already left, leaving the underground garage nearly deserted.

The only sound was that of high heels clicking rhythmically across the concrete floor, echoing through the empty space.

Curiosity piqued, Yang Wei drove toward the sound but quickly averted his gaze.

It was the company's glamorous CEO, Ye Hua!

She was a major figure, just twenty-five years old.

Starting from nothing, she had built this dominant delivery company in Lengjiang City in just a few years, making her something of a legend.

There were many tales about Ye Hua, but they were not for Yang Wei, a mere employee, to speculate on.

After a brief glance, Yang Wei decided it was best to park quickly and head home for dinner.

Yang Wei had just turned his car around when he suddenly heard the CEO's cry of alarm.

Looking back, he saw three burly men burst out of a black Volkswagen, encircling Ye Hua, who was desperately struggling.

"What's going on here!"

Yang Wei sped toward the scene on his electric scooter, not because he was nosy, but because his livelihood depended on the company. If anything happened to the CEO, his job security would be at risk.

"Kid, I'd mind my own business if I were you!"

Ye Hua was already subdued, her mouth sealed with duct tape, as two of the men tried to force her into the car's trunk. One of the thugs stood in Yang Wei's way.

"I've already called the police."

"Ha, you think you're scaring us? I'm telling you, not even the mightiest deity could stop us today!"

Realizing his words carried no weight, Yang Wei let out a resigned sigh.

He was reluctant to expose his true capabilities, but he had no choice; saving someone was the priority.

With a swift tensing of his thighs, Yang Wei delivered a powerful side kick to the stomach of the man in front of him.

Caught off guard, the thug was propelled into the Volkswagen's windshield, which shattered on impact!
