2 System (Part 1)

Homura noticed something strange in the corner of his field of vision. It looked like an arrow.

"Strange? What is this thing?" he thought he might have been mistaken, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"Okay! It's probably not a hallucination!"

He put his hands down and said with a hint of surprise.

"If it weren't for its transparency, I would have thought I had cataracts!"

"Could this be a must-have for transmigrator, my golden finger?!"

Thinking of all the transmigration novels he had read in his past life, Homura felt a little excited.

"I guess I'm right! Okay, let me try something."

He said calmly, "System?... or God?... can you make a sound?..."

After waiting for a while without hearing the imagined "sound," Homura understood that there was no System spirit or fairy.

"Well, I have to figure it out by myself."

Homura raised his right hand and clicked on the arrow.

But there was no reaction, and his finger passed through it smoothly.

"...As expected, I don't think this is a touch screen operation, otherwise, it would have looked weird to others!"

Homura unconsciously imagined himself pointing his hand in front of others, and others looking at him with pity in their eyes. He shuddered.

Shaking his head, he threw the image out of his mind and confirmed.

"Since this is the case, I have to use my mind, no, my thoughts!"

Homura lifted his head, focused his eyes on the arrow, and concentrated his mind. He imagined his spirit as a mouse, clicking on it...

"!!!"

"Okay! I understand what this thing is!"

Homura's mouth twitched, unable to help but comment.

"Isn't this just a button for convenient screenshots and hiding the System menu!"

That's right, it was this button.

After Homura clicked on it, the System interface appeared. He was very familiar with this interface because he had just seen it before he transmigrated!

"The Life Simulation, The Sims!"

The flickering light in his eyes! The interface that appeared in front of Homura was the Simulation Life System!

"So, you are my golden finger, The Sims System!"

Looking at the familiar yet slightly different interface in front of him, Homura found it difficult to calm his thoughts.

If we consider starting a dream-like adventure without a System, it would be like playing on a difficult level in this garbage game called reality. However, if we add a System, it would be like playing on the easy level!

Although The Sims System didn't look as grandiose as those leveling Systems, it was still satisfying to Homura since this wasn't a fantasy world.

"No, I can't just let things slide. I've lived two lives now, and my actual age is over twenty years old. I have to take this seriously."

After calming down a bit, Homura's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile.

"Now, let me study you carefully!"

At a glance, the small map in the upper right corner of his field of vision, the six blank shortcut bars at the bottom, and the System menu were no different from his past life.

However, upon closer inspection, he noticed some changes.

"Well, the System settings are really useless!"

Homura felt a bit regretful, but then he shrugged it off and said.

"It doesn't matter! Even if it's useful, what can I do? Can't I just log off or delete my account?"

"Let's take a look at the character, skills, and other things!" Homura continued his study and clicked on the character status.

===

[Character Name]: Minamiya Homura

[Level]: 1 (0/100)

[Energy]: 100/100

[Location]: Penglai Province, Huaxia Country

[Identity]: Student

[Title]: None

[Status]: Energetic

===

"Indeed, there is nothing like strength or agility attribute. There hasn't been any change in this regard..."

Homura understood it somewhat and thought for a moment before saying, "It's understandable, life simulation doesn't require these attributes. If there were such attributes and they could be increased, wouldn't it exceed the limits of humanity? It would turn into a fantasy game!"

"Let's continue!" Then Homura clicked on the skills and was surprised to see so many skills and skill points.

===

[Talent]: Perfect Memory, ???

[Life Skills]: Programming (LV6), Cooking (LV4), Piano (LV3), Guitar (LV3), Comic (LV2), Writing (LV2), Composition (LV2), Choreography (LV1)

[Other Skills]: Tai Chi (LV1), Investigation (LV0)

[Skill Points]: 20

===

From top to bottom, Homura looked utterly confused. It took him a while to regain his senses, and he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"I knew there would be changes, but this is a massive transformation!" He muttered, his lips twitching in disbelief.

What on earth?

A jumble of all sorts of skills!

"Perfect Memory? When did I get this talent?"

He scratched his head, uncertain.

"Could it be that my memories from past lives fused with my current life, resulting in a qualitative change?"

What does this talent with the question mark mean? And what other unknown talents are there? And they haven't even been detected yet?

Then there's this huge pile of Life Skills!

"Except for Programming, which I learned in my past life, all of the other miscellaneous skills were learned in this world? The other me really learned a little bit of everything."

There's even Tai Chi... okay, it's for self-defense.

And there's Investigation... this skill is the weirdest of them all, with a level of only Level 0. Did he learn it or not?

"Finally, there are 20 skill points left!"

After a chaotic flurry of thoughts, he finally calmed down.

"Ah, calm down me! Where's my composure?... Whatever, I'm only sixteen in this life anyway," Homura thought, shamelessly.

"This is..."

After pondering for a while, recalling the game, Homura became somewhat uncertain.

"This should be the debug version that the programmers used during testing, right?"

Programmer testing cannot make them follow the players' footsteps step by step, so this situation is common.

In the sims game's internal debugging; double experience, double energy recovery, and double skill point upgrades were set, which means that every level up gives two skill points, and an initial 20 points were also given.

A regular player can gain a total of 100 skill points when they level up from level 1 to level 100. It takes 10 skill points to fully upgrade a single skill, and a player can fully upgrade ten skills at the maximum level.

Therefore, Homura was amazed because he can fully upgrade two skills right from the beginning. Additionally, every five levels he can fully upgrade another skill. This is not a difficult task at all!

"Haha, this is definitely my advantage!"

Homura imagines his future good life and becomes excited. He forgets to remain calm.

"Um! Wait, how do you learn skills?"

His body suddenly stiffens, and Homura begins to feel uneasy.

"I don't want to be happy and then fall into despair! Wouldn't it become a garbage game then?"

"Well...I don't think there should be any problem?"

He's not entirely sure, but he shakes his head and guesses.

"Since there are so many skills in the Skill panel, learning skills shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

After saying this, Homura decides not to think about this problem and instead continues studying the System.
