Wu Yifan was once an ordinary security guard at a KTV in Beitian City, living a comfortable and laid-back life. Everything took a bizarre turn after a strange dream, though—when he woke, he made a 不可思议 discovery: an "Intelligent Enhancer" from the year 229 of the New Era had fused with his body. This device, developed by his descendant Wu Liang, a brilliant scientist, could enhance his attributes—agility, muscle strength, technical skill, and more—by consuming "enhancement points." These points, however, weren’t freely available; they had to be earned by completing random tasks assigned by the device. The core of these tasks was straightforward: "pursue outstanding partners and ensure healthy reproduction," all to prevent the Wu bloodline from dying out in the future. At first, Wu Yifan found this incredible experience hard to believe. The idea of a future device merging with his body and assigning such tasks seemed too fantastical. His doubt vanished, though, when he used the Enhancer for the first time. A young woman’s briefcase was stolen by motorcycle thieves, and in a rush of anger, he activated the device. He spent his enhancement points to triple his agility, chasing down the speeding motorcycle with inhuman speed. It was then that he finally accepted the device’s magic. Later, he grew used to living with it, having it transformed into a watch for easy carrying. As he tackled each task, Wu Yifan’s life changed dramatically. He was forced to make a bold confession to Ye Xiwen, the KTV’s owner. Teased though he was, he earned enhancement points. When dealing with unruly customers or gang retaliation, he boosted his muscle strength, showing off a "steel-like defense" that left enemies helpless. To help Ye Xiwen resolve a rent dispute, he negotiated with Wang Xuefei, president of Yingjie Group, and unexpectedly fended off extorting gangsters, winning her approval. Even a video of him chasing the thieves went viral, earning him the mysterious title "Running Emperor"—a secret he kept carefully. In the process, Wu Yifan got tangled in several emotional ties. Mu Xiaoyao, a 16-year-old, insisted on following him, admiring his "kung fu." Fu Junyao, a hot-tempered policewoman, clashed with him often but softened as she saw his abilities. Ye Xiwen, initially looking down on him, gradually trusted him and felt a subtle affection for this miracle-working security guard. With the Enhancer’s superpowers and his own shrewdness, Wu Yifan handled crises like fake alcohol poisoning frames and gang revenge. Quietly, he went from a laid-back guard to a hidden expert who could control situations. Amid the city’s bustle, his story continues. The future of his relationships with Ye Xiwen and others, and the untold secrets of the Enhancer, remain to unfold.

Seui believed himself to be an extremely normal person .So he tried to maintain his life normal ( and inexplicably boring) as possible . Therefore although he was the topper in his class , had quite a background and could be said to have looks , he was not a shining existence. Rather, he was mediocre, neither eye-catching nor invisible . Until one day , he found himself transmigrated. Despite the worry , he was rather excited, and he waited obediently for his system to arrive while trying to calm down himself. Fifteen minutes : Why is the system not here yet ? One hour: It seems a bit late ah! Could it be because of the network traffic ?? Two hours: This system seems quite inefficient. Could it be low quality goods?? One day: What's wrong with this broken system ah? Why is it not arriving yet??? Four days: Wtf! , why is it not yet here ? Could it be that I have no system???!! Then what about the so called plot lines and golden fingers ?? False advertising ahh!!! I demand a refund !!

Exactly what the title says.
