Chapter 1PROLOGUE

BEFORE HE SITTED DOWN, Gregory Evans turned on the TV, stretched out on the couch with his arms spread out over the backrest, and rested his feet on the coffee table, even though he knew his wife Alissa would complain. The remote control was already ready in his hand.

The channel he was tuning into was showing a documentary about Muslims and life in Iraq.

— Bullshit! — he complained in the little Arabic he knew, changing to the next channel.

The first scene that appeared was of people in bathing suits arguing in a kitchen.

— Damn Big Brother! — he switched to another channel.

The next one showed poor African children, all telling their stories about how their parents died and the hardships they were going through, until a millionaire from the United States showed up to help them.

Finally something good... he thought, and continued watching.

The next scene showed the good man being interviewed.

"...and then I understood why I had earned my money. Now I am satisfied with what I did for those ten children.

The interviewer asked:

— Is it true that you intend to run for office next...

It was too good to be true...

Next channel...

Another documentary showed the countries most affected by terrorism.

— It can't be...! — he exclaimed.

Next channel.

A presenter was showing several useless revolutionary products on a sales channel.

— This is fantastic! — said the woman next to the presenter.

His finger was no longer on the button that changed the channels.

After so many changes, his wife spoke from the bedroom:

— You men can't watch anything in silence, can you?

Irritated, he said nothing, he just thought to himself:

Actually, I think we are being slowly brainwashed...

Greg got up and went to the back; a good martial arts training would be more interesting.

You never know when you need to be prepared...

Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Thirty years old—that was the age people often referred to as the time to stand tall and firm. At this age, some were splendid and dazzling, intoxicated in a world of wealth, while others were desolate and dim, confined to rope beds and clay stoves. Lin Mo belonged to the latter. At thirty, he was still a porter, toiling away to earn a living. His daughter was bullied by a male classmate at school—simply because his family was well-off, the school chose to turn a blind eye. His wife, already pregnant, was secretly working at a supermarket to supplement the household income without his knowledge. As he lay awake looking at his wife by his side and his daughter sleeping soundly in the little bed, Lin Mo felt so aggrieved he shed tears. Despite working hard every day until his back could no longer straighten, he still couldn't change the dire state of their lives. However, it was at this time that the Daily Intelligence System suddenly awoke. [Daily Intelligence has been updated] [1. Neighbor Wang Youcai secretly used his retirement funds to tip 10,000 yuan to a beauty in a live stream under the nickname Black Chicken.] [2.
