"Same as before, but a little shorter?"

Aunt Li in the barber shop held the electric hair clipper in her hand.

"yes, just make it a little shorter," Chu Cheng replied. "But not too short."

Aunt Li began cutting and said with a smile, "Short haircuts look honest. Girls like that nowadays."

"Actually, I'm just thinking about changing my hairstyle," Chu Cheng mentioned.

"Oh really? That's good. College students should have some personality. Trying a new look isn't a bad idea. Girls nowadays like trendier styles," Aunt Li echoed.

Chu Cheng remained silent but couldn't help thinking that according to Aunt Li's logic, wouldn't girls nowadays prefer constantly changing hairstyles?

Nevertheless, appearance did matter to some extent, even if luck with a girl wasn't directly linked to hairstyle. The thing they talked about was filled with oddities, claiming to control preferences. However, numerous examples showed that good looks were what truly mattered. As long as someone was good-looking enough, gender norms could be relaxed.

For Chu Cheng, hairstyle was of secondary importance. With his good looks, he attracted admirers regardless. But he couldn't help suspecting he resembled Zhang Shao, a guy idolized by middle-aged women.

Another aunt in the shop couldn't hold back, saying, "Stop trying to set up Chu Zheng'er with other girls. He's popular among college students. Many girls like him."

Aunt Li defended, "What's wrong with my Juanjuan? She might just get into a prestigious university..."

The two aunts argued, and Aunt Li seized the moment to show Chu Cheng a photo.

"Look, Xiao Chu, this is the girl I mentioned last time. Isn't she beautiful? Can I give you her contact information to chat?"

Chu Cheng glanced at the photo but noticed something odd in the background. He pointed to the reflection in the glass on the wall, asking, "Is there someone else in the mirror, Aunty?"

Aunt Li scrutinized the photo for a while.

After Chu Cheng finished his haircut, he chatted with his neighbors before bidding farewell and returning to his apartment. Provided by his uncle, the apartment's proximity to his university saved him accommodation costs. While many envied him, he prioritized gaming over romance.

Upon entering his room, a clear notification sounded, making Chu Cheng's heart tremble.

Could it be that the system has been delayed for a month and finally arrived?

That's right, Chu Cheng is not an original native, but a traverser from a parallel Earth, and he has only been on this Earth for a month now. (T/N: This world is called Earth pole star, so imma leave it that way)

According to the limited knowledge reserve he obtained from fantasy works, he can judge that he has transmigrated into a body that is almost the same as his own with the same life trajectory.

This world is similar to his former Earth, but not exactly the same.

The Earth Pole Star is also a world dominated by humans, which is similar to the human civilization that Chu Cheng is familiar with. But the human civilization in this world has a completely different development process, and the complex evolution over the long years has finally led to the fact that today's Earth Pole Star has no national boundaries.

That's right, although the Earth pole star also has continents and regional divisions, it has no concept of national boundaries, and it has been like this since many years ago.

In addition, there are many other differences in Earth pole star, and it would take many days and nights to list all the details. But the impact of it on Chu Cheng was not too great.

He feels that his luck is not too bad. In the past generations, some people have Transmigrated to post-apocalyptic worlds where zombies are rampant, some have traveled to wastelands where they rebuilt on ruins, and some have traveled to realms filled with gods...

Compared with those high-risk planes, his situation at least seems to be stable, at least from the memory he inherited, he didn't find any strange phenomena. He has no cheats and no special skills, as long as he can lie down and eat and wait for death in this life, he will be very happy.

until now.

In the early days, nine out of ten transmigrators had a system, and the sound of "ding" in their minds was often the beginning of them becoming powerful and killing everything in seconds.

When Chu Cheng turned to this genre back then, he scoffed at it, but now he has changed his opinion after traveling through it personally. He now feels that having a system means direct invincibility at the beginning.

However, when he changed his posture and called out to the system, he realized that the voice seemed to come from the computer that had not been turned off all night on the bedroom desk.

It sounds a bit like the notification sound when a game is downloaded and installed.

While Chu Cheng was greatly disappointed, he couldn't help being puzzled.

Last night, he was watching a movie... it was a bit too late to read the learning materials, and he went to bed without turning off the computer, but he didn't seem to download anything. Could it be that his computer automatically installs some weird things when watching movies?

Chu Cheng shook the mouse, waking up the sleeping monitor. Soon he noticed the extra icon on his desktop.

"Avengers vs Justice League: A New Age"

Chu Cheng "...!?"

He actually recognized this game, because it happened to be the last game he bought before time travel.

Chu Cheng vividly remembered the events leading up to his transmigration a month ago. He had eagerly purchased the newly released game, "Avengers vs. Justice League: A New Age," and left it to download while he attended classes. However, fate had other plans as he encountered an unfortunate accident involving a dump truck near a drain cleaning site. He didn't even get a chance to check the game progress before finding himself waking up in a different world, completely disoriented.

Despite having been in this new world for a month, the sight of the game icon on his computer screen nearly petrified him. In this alternate reality devoid of Marvel, DC, or any superhero-themed works, the existence of such a game seemed impossible.

Questions raced through Chu Cheng's mind. Was this some advanced technology from the steam platform, catering to travelers between dimensions? Had the platform detected his purchase and disappearance, prompting them to offer him a special multiverse tour experience?

Sitting before the computer, Chu Cheng hesitated briefly before summoning the courage to double-click the game icon.

As the joint logos of the two companies and the production studio flashed across the screen, Chu Cheng's anticipation heightened. However, his excitement turned to concern as loading errors began to appear, indicating missing map information and potential issues.

With each prompt, Chu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. But to his relief, the game's automatic repair system kicked in, resolving the errors seamlessly. Soon, the game finished loading, and Chu Cheng found himself staring at the title interface, a mixture of relief and unease washing over him.

Without further delay, Chu Cheng clicked to start the game.

The game was a classic standalone action-adventure, allowing players to embody superheroes, embark on missions, experience cinematic storylines, or explore open maps.

As the game prompted him to choose his hero, Chu Cheng realized he didn't have much of a choice. Most superhero portraits were grayed out, leaving him with only one option—the iconic Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham, and the top-tier character from DC comics, known for his unparalleled detective skills and leadership in the Justice League.
