Chereads / Soul Eater: Reincarnated with the Devouring Skill System / Chapter 2 - System in my USB flash drive?...

Chapter 2 - System in my USB flash drive?...

Chen Kai's career in the film industry began in China, where he worked in various roles under the influence of his mother. This experience gave him a solid foundation in the Chinese film industry and a deep understanding of the market and culture.

His opportunity to go to America as a film consultant allowed him to share his expertise with American filmmakers and expand his professional network. It was during this time that he met his wife, a young and aspiring actress.

After a year of dating, Chen Kai and his wife married and continued to work together in the film industry. Over the next 10 years, they established themselves as a successful couple in the American film industry, with Chen Kai becoming a senior film producer managing large-budget films.

This journey highlights Chen Kai's adaptability, his ability to navigate different cultural contexts, and his talent for building successful relationships within the film industry.

Chen Kai, the seasoned film producer, sat at his desk, a cup of coffee steaming beside him. He was reviewing the latest development on a horror series project, his mind racing with ideas. The script called for a young Chinese school student, a role that perfectly suited his sister, Qi Lan.

Qi Lan, a bright and ambitious seventeen-year-old, had recently graduated from high school and was preparing to enter college in a month. She had always dreamed of becoming an actress, just like her mother.

Chen Kai hesitated. He knew that Qi Lan had a strong desire to break into the entertainment industry, but he also wanted to protect her from the potential challenges and disappointments that came with it. He wasn't sure if she was ready for the demanding world of acting.

As he pondered the decision, Chen Kai's assistant, a young Chinese woman named Mei Lin, entered the office. "Mr. Chen, I have an update on the horror series," she said, handing him a file.

Chen Kai nodded and began to read. As he did, he couldn't help but think of Qi Lan. He knew she would be perfect for the role, but he was hesitant to approach her directly. He didn't want to put any pressure on her or make her feel obligated to take the part.

Finally, Chen Kai decided to take a chance. He decided to wait until after dinner that evening to approach Qi Lan. He knew that a casual conversation over a meal would be a less intimidating way to broach the subject.

As he waited for dinner to be served, Chen Kai couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He was excited to see how Qi Lan would react to his proposal. He hoped that she would be as eager as he was to see her star on the rise.

Mei Lin noticed Chen Kai's infectious grin as he sat at his desk, lost in thought. "Mr. Chen, you're grinning like a child," she couldn't help but remark, her voice filled with amusement.

"Mr. Chen, you haven't eaten your breakfast yet. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Oh, right. I'm so excited about Qi Lan's arrival that I forgot to eat."

"You know, you should take care of yourself, too. A hungry producer is a grumpy producer."

"You're right. I'll order some breakfast. What do you recommend?"

"How about a classic American breakfast? Pancakes, bacon, eggs, and coffee?"

"Sounds perfect. Thanks, Mei Lin."

With the help of the housekeeper, Qi Lan settled into her room. As she sat on her bed, surrounded by her belongings, a dreamy smile played on her lips. She took a moment to sort out her thoughts and plan her next steps. The excitement of her arrival had been replaced by a sense of wonder and anticipation about her new life in America.

Qi Lan's past life was far removed from her current reality. Born into a poor family, she had faced numerous challenges and hardships, including the experience of growing up as a boy. Despite these obstacles, she had managed to graduate from college and was currently working a part-time job to support herself and after her past life was like had done something bad thing to many people.Now she doesn't want to remember it

The memory of her former life occasionally surfaced, bringing with it a sense of nostalgia and a longing for the simplicity of her past. However, Qi Lan was determined to embrace her new identity and make the most of her opportunities in America.

Qi Lan found a strange USB flash drive in her skirt pocket. She examined it closely 

Among her unpacked luggage, Qi Lan stumbled upon an old, damaged Chinese laptop. Out of curiosity, she picked it up

"Let's see what's on this pendrive."

[ The System has connected to an laptop of world BLOB ....

Frequency analysis .... error.]

As Qi Lan inserted the pendrive into the laptop, a strange, mechanical sound echoed through the room. The pendrive seemed to merge with the laptop, its light flickering ominously. 

A sense of unease washed over Qi Lan as she watched the laptop's screen, anticipating the unknown.

Suddenly, a robotic voice emanated from the laptop, speaking in a language she didn't recognize. After a moment, the voice translated into English, saying,

[Merging complete. External source identified. Old electronic laptop identified. Do you want to upgrade this laptop? Extra resources are needed.]

Qi Lan's heart raced as she processed the information. She had no idea what was happening, but she was intrigued and a little scared.

Qi Lan's heart pounded in her chest as she considered the robotic voice's offer. She had no idea what the "extra resources" were, but she was intrigued by the possibility of upgrading her old laptop.

After a moment of hesitation, she decided to accept. "Yes, I want to upgrade," she replied, her voice trembling slightly.

The laptop's screen flickered as it processed her response. Then, a new message appeared: [Upgrade initiated. Please wait.....]

Qi Lan watched the screen intently, her mind racing with questions. What would the upgrade entail? What kind of resources would she need? And what would happen to her old laptop?

As she waited, a sense of anticipation and excitement filled her. She couldn't wait to see what the future held.

[Please provide the necessary electronic resources for the upgrade. You can access them through the laptop's external ports.]

Although it was a vague what this electric resources were and she thought about it

Qi Lan searched through her belongings and found her mobile earphones and a small camera. Intrigued, she plugged them into the laptop's external ports. The robotic voice immediately acknowledged the new resources and began the upgrade process.

As the laptop whirred and hummed, Qi Lan couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. She wondered what changes the upgrade would bring to her old device.
