Little Ye Guang had a serious illness when he was a child and slept for three days. After recovering, he always felt like there was a female voice talking in his head.
"Ding, system fusion in progress, fusion progress 5%."
"Ding, system fusion in progress, fusion progress 20%."
"Ding, system fusion in progress, fusion progress 50%."
".
At that time, Little Ye Guang was still very young and didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't tell his parents either. After some time, one day while playing, Little Ye Guang heard a different voice in his mind than the repetitive "system fusion in progress".
"Ding, system fusion complete, fusion degree 100%."
"Ding, system powering on. Please wait."
"Ding, system activated, activation conditions not met, current system in initial state. Host, please complete system release tasks to activate the system."
"Ding, first time using the system, random reward drawing in progress."
"Ding, randomly obtained skill: Photographic Memory, skill automatically activated in the initial state of the system."
"Ding, activation task released: Host needs to memorize a ancient poem within today. Task reward: Increase system activation progress; Task punishment: Host may possibly be bitten by a dog."
Little Ye Guang was currently in kindergarten, secretly trying to hold hands with his new girlfriend Duo Er. He didn't have time to listen to the strange voices in his head.
The next day.
"Ding, task failed."
That day, Duo Er's dog went crazy and chased after Little Ye Guang, almost biting him. Fortunately, Little Ye Guang was clever and ran fast, finally shaking off the dog after being chased through several streets.
Little Ye Guang was very angry! Hmph! Is it necessary to let a dog bite him just for secretly holding hands? He didn't want a girlfriend like this! Break up! Definitely break up! Little Ye Guang's first love ended just like that. He felt sad for the whole morning, and only ate one bowl of rice for lunch, when he usually ate two.
"Sigh, the remaining bowl of rice will be a sacrifice for the death of my baby love." Little Ye Guang looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"Ding, activation task released: Host..." Little Ye Guang, who was reminiscing about love, couldn't hear clearly what the female voice in his head was saying.
The third day.
"Ding, task failed."
That day, Little Ye Guang fell into a smelly sewer.
The fourth day.
"Ding, task failed."
That day, Duo Er's new boyfriend from the neighboring class took her away with a pack of spicy snacks.
The fifth day.
"Ding, task failed."
That day, Little Ye Guang was bullied by several boys from the older class.
The sixth day.
The seventh day.
The eighth day.
Little Ye Guang was still young, but he wasn't stupid. He felt that something was not right and thought of the voices that had been appearing in his mind recently. He felt afraid, but didn't know how to tell his parents.
On the ninth day. "Ding, activation task released: Host to learn 5 new Chinese characters. Task reward: Increase system activation progress; Task punishment: Host may experience stomachache."
That day, the mischievous Little Ye Guang suddenly became extremely obedient. He learned the 10 new Chinese characters taught that day in no time, surprising the kindergarten teacher.
The next day, Little Ye Guang didn't have a stomachache. He was very happy. It turned out that as long as he completed the tasks, he wouldn't be punished. He decided to complete the tasks diligently in the future!
"Ding, activation task released: Host to learn 15 new Chinese characters."
"Ding, activation task released: Host to learn 2 ancient poems."
"Ding, activation task released: Host to learn addition and subtraction within 10."
And so, Little Ye Guang's life of tasks began. In addition to the various tasks given by the system, he also had the skill of photographic memory given by the system. He became the legend of being someone else's child.
The system accompanied Little Ye Guang as he grew up, and he gradually adapted to a life with the system. In fact, the tasks given by the system were always related to his studies, such as memorizing texts, getting first place in mid-term exams, first place in the whole grade in final exams, and getting full marks in math tests.
Because of his photographic memory skill, Little Ye Guang was a genius and a top student. The tasks from the system were completed effortlessly.
This situation continued until his third year in high school.
"Ding, system activation progress 100%, system is about to upgrade, system upgrade time is 4 years, during this period, host should avoid excessive mental activities. To cooperate with system upgrade, task released: Host to apply to Nanchang University's Fine Arts major. Task reward: System activation; Task punishment: System upgrade failure, host may have cerebral palsy."
Little Ye Guang was confused. In order to avoid cerebral palsy, he reluctantly gave up applying to Tsinghua or Peking University and his dream of becoming a national leader, and secretly applied to Nanchang University's Fine Arts department.
During his university years, Little Ye Guang became extremely sleepy, possibly due to the system upgrade. He would sleep in class, after class, and continue sleeping when he got home. During his four years in university, Little Ye Guang received numerous awards from his classmates: Sleeping God of Nanchang University!
However, despite sleeping all the time, Little Ye Guang didn't waste his university years. Although he was constantly sleeping, he would have the same dream over and over again.
In the dream, Little Ye Guang entered a parallel world that was almost identical to his own world (our world), where he was an ordinary office worker who had miraculously married a gentle, virtuous, and beautiful wife. The two of them lived a happy and harmonious life together.
The world in the dream was astonishingly similar to his own world, almost identical. But there were also differences.
In the dream world, the most popular mobile phone was an Apple phone. In his own world, there was competition in the mobile phone industry, with brands like Orange phone or Pear phone, but no Apple, Samsung, Huawei, or Xiaomi.
In the dream world, China already had its own aircraft carrier, LN. In his own world, China didn't have an aircraft carrier yet.
In the dream world, China successfully hosted the globally acclaimed Olympic Games in 2008. In his own world, the Olympic Games could only be held years later.
In the dream world, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and Weibo dominated the internet. In his own world, these companies still existed but weren't as successful. Baidu was still Baidu, but a lot more successful than in his world, a monopoly. Alibaba was still Alibaba, but not as strong compared to the others. Tencent's QQ was called Tencent TT. Weibo was just called Chinese Weibo, without the distinction between Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, or Netease Weibo.
In the dream world, various variety shows, movies, TV series, poetry, literature, and even web novels were incredibly popular. In his own world, they existed too, but were far less rich. The difference was like night and day!
With his photographic memory, Little Ye Guang remembered everything he saw and heard in the dream world, making it feel extremely real to him. At one point, he couldn't differentiate between what was a dream and what was the real world. It took him a long time to adjust.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Little Ye Guang. Because of his photographic memory skill, he could clearly remember the appearance of his wife in the dream world, which was exactly the same as in the real world. But every time he woke up, when trying to recall his wife's appearance, it felt like he was engulfed in a fog and couldn't remember what she looked like.
Little Ye Guang had never been in a romantic relationship, but he suddenly got married in his dream. Despite his beautiful and gentle wife, he couldn't say he really liked her. However, after some time, Little Ye Guang was conquered by his gentle and kind wife and fell under her spell. Often, when he was fully awake, he would touch his head and smile foolishly, remembering the sweet moments with his dream wife. Sometimes, he even didn't want to wake up from the dream, just to spend a little more time with his dream wife.
Finally, his four years of university came to an end, and the system upgrade mission was successful. It was news that made Little Ye Guang a little happy and a little sad. After completing the system activation, he never entered the dream world again. He wasn't too sentimental about the dream world, but he really couldn't bear to leave his dream wife. It seemed like he had developed real emotions. Otherwise, why didn't Little Ye Guang, who was good-looking, have a girlfriend during his four years of university?
"Ding, system upgrade 100%, system upgrade completed."
"Ding, host's disciple value has not reached the minimum requirement for system usage. Task released: Host to become an elementary school teacher and meet the system usage requirements within six months. Task reward: Host can fully utilize the system; Task punishment: If the host fails to meet the system usage requirements, it means the host is not suitable for this system, and the system will be closed."
And so, Little Ye Guang started his new journey, promptly took the teacher qualification exam, and then "explained with affection, persuaded with reason" to convince his parents, becoming a respected teacher of the people!
In a few months of being a teacher, Little Ye Guang actually started to like this profession and the innocent and smiling students in school. When the students respectfully called him "Teacher Ye", Little Ye Guang felt a sense of pride in his heart.
However, whether he could be a teacher or not didn't depend on him; it depended on this damn system!
"Ding, host's disciple value has reached the system usage requirement."
"Ding, unique mainline task of the system released: Obtain the title of an exemplary teacher for all generations!"
"Ding, host's current job position is not conducive to completing the system's mainline task, please resign from the current job in order to accept the system task."
"Ding, system function updating, estimated 8 hours until the system can be officially activated."
And so, Little Ye Guang resigned...
