Midnight.
Chen Xiang walked through the abandoned tile house made of reinforced concrete.
His expression was panicked, his eyes flickering.
"Hey, buddies..."
Chen Xiang greeted quietly into his phone in front of him, which was currently live streaming.
"Tonight's theme is this allegedly haunted abandoned building!"
Chen Xiang's voice trembled with nervousness.
Of course, this wasn't just an act. He was genuinely nervous.
As a seasoned IT programmer, Chen Xiang, after unexpectedly gaining popularity, had learned to switch careers to become a streamer to monetize his fan base.
He chose outdoor exploration just like Wu Diguo!
However...
Chen Xiang didn't know some of the tricks here. He hadn't scouted the place beforehand for staging and was genuinely exploring.
"Another stream going to an abandoned building!"
"Boring!"
"Streamer, get in there already!"
"Why the delay!"
"This kind of courage for outdoor streaming!"
The barrage on Chen Xiang's phone kept rolling, mostly from haters. After all, too many people coveted his looks.
Heh!
Chen Xiang sneered inwardly.
Ignoring these comments didn't mean they didn't affect him.
From somewhere unknown, courage surged within Chen Xiang. He immediately took faster steps forward.
Crack, crack, crack...
Suddenly.
Chen Xiang's phone emitted a crackling sound, as if experiencing some strange reaction, and the screen went blank.
"What's going on?"
A strange question mark popped up in Chen Xiang's mind.
Out of battery?
Can't be!
He had charged it fully before coming out for the stream!
Snap!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky without warning, illuminating the entire sky and the abandoned building, resembling a sleeping behemoth.
"Damn!"
"What kind of weather is this!"
"It was fine just now!"
"Such bad luck!"
Chen Xiang complained repeatedly. He knew that the thunder would follow soon.
It was going to rain tonight!
Unable to continue streaming!
Chen Xiang immediately turned to leave when suddenly a strange halo appeared before his eyes.
This halo, emitting a colorful light and a mysterious force, instantly entered Chen Xiang's mind.
"Eep, eep, eep!"
A cute and slightly coquettish voice sounded from Chen Xiang's head, startling him and leaving him momentarily dazed.
"Detecting the presence of a cute host!"
"Now, let's begin binding!"
...
"Binding successful!"
"Hello, adorable host..."
Snap!
Just as this cute system prompt sounded in Chen Xiang's mind, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, passing through his body via the phone.
Crackling...
Electricity surged through Chen Xiang's body, smoke rising from him. It was an electrifying sensation.
Suddenly, everything went black before him.
Then.
A voice sounded beside Chen Xiang's ear.
"Spiritual Art: Reincarnation of the Impure Earth!"
Boom!
Chen Xiang felt his body tremble, all other sounds fading away.
"Eep, eep, eep!"
"Hello, adorable host!"
"I'm delighted..."
"Wait a minute!"
"Why is the host a male?!"
The system's cute voice sounded astonished, realizing something very serious.
"Oh no!"
"I've bound the wrong person!"
"The host is not a cute girl!"
"I'm a cute and cuddly intelligent system designed specifically for girls!"
"Ugh..."
"My mindset is collapsing!"
The system's cute voice carried a sobbing tone, immediately causing Chen Xiang, who had just regained consciousness, to be at a loss for words.
At this moment.
Chen Xiang understood.
He had gained a system.
But...
This system was a bit strange.
There was a feeling of indescribable awkwardness.
It seemed a bit too much like a drama!
And then.
It seemed like he got struck by lightning again!
And ended up in this pitch-black place!
"System, do you know where this place is?"
Chen Xiang thought to the system in his mind, feeling perplexed by this weird system.
"I don't know!"
"Huh?"
"No, wait!"
"I might know!"
"I'll load your profile now!"
The system immediately responded, realizing that the host it had just bound to hadn't had their profile loaded yet.
"Eep, eep, eep!"
The system emitted a cute and strange cry.
"Information loading error!"
"Energy deficiency!"
"System crash!"
"Rebooting..."
The cute loli voice of the system disappeared instantly.
Almost in an instant.
The voice resounded again.
"System reboot successful!"
"Loading interface information..."
"Loading failed!"
"Loading task information..."
"Loading failed!"
"Loading store information..."
"Loading failed!"
This series of loading failures made Chen Xiang's scalp tingle. As a former programmer, he had a faint feeling that this system was most likely malfunctioning.
So unlucky!
Chen Xiang felt there couldn't be a more unlucky transmigrator than himself. Judging from the situation, not only was he struck by lightning, but the system was struck by it too.
"Spiritualization of the system loading..."
"Loading successful!"
Suddenly.
Chen Xiang noticed the surroundings brightening, and a palm-sized sprite floated before him.
This sprite had big blinking eyes, exceptionally cute. Two long ears protruded from its light blue hair, twisted into a braided shape. It wore a light green dress, with a pair of white wings flapping incessantly behind.
"Eep, eep, eep, host, now you can see!" The sprite waved its chubby little hand.
...
Chen Xiang watched the swaying hand and was speechless for a moment. Even sarcastic remarks couldn't form.
Cute!
Definitely cute!
But...
What's the use?
Everything failed to load!
Is this a dysfunctional system?
No!
This is a drama queen system!
"Right!"
"The system information hasn't finished loading yet!"
The sprite immediately opened the phone cover and pressed a button.
This scene.
Caught Chen Xiang's eye.
Making him increasingly skeptical of this system!
"Continue loading!"
"Identity display loading..."
"Loading successful!"
[Identity Information]
Name: Hashirama Senju.
Status: Deceased.
Level: Ninja God.
"???"
A flurry of question marks filled Chen Xiang's mind.
Hashirama Senju?!
Isn't he the First Hokage?
But...
What's with this deceased status?
"Oh no, this is bad!"
The sprite's cute voice sounded slightly panicked, its big eyes flipping through the phone.
"Host."
"I have bad news for you!"
"Maybe when I was manipulating your transmigration earlier..."
"You got struck by lightning!"
"You died!"
"So I couldn't bring your body over!"
"Only managed to bring your soul!"
"Just happened to overwrite the soul here!"
"Now you're not yourself anymore!"
"You are..."
The sprite looked earnestly at the information on its phone, blinking its big eyes, lifting its little head, staring at Chen Xiang.
"Hashirama Senju.!"
