As a high school sophomore, Chen Chu didn't think he was anyone special. He came from an ordinary family and was an ordinary student. Things didn't change until a local billionaire donated ten million yuan to the school to install air conditioning and build a teaching building and a sports field. In front of the entire school, the billionaire affectionately put his arm around Chen Chu's shoulders, and the school leaders, teachers, and students were all astonished. Chen Chu was dumbfounded and said, "Listen to me, my family is just an ordinary family, and I don't know any local billionaires! For real!" The billionaire invited him out, and a luxury car fleet entered the neighborhood. The neighbors were all stunned, and they wondered how he had this kind of background. Chen Chu explained helplessly, "Believe me, I'm just going out to eat!" Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a luxury car came to him, and the car shocked everyone. When the woman hugged his arm and called him "Young Master Chen," he was stunned. Others asked, "How do you explain the woman next to you? Didn't you buy her a car and a house?" Chen Chu burst into tears and said, "The car and the house were bought by someone else. I have nothing to do with the woman!" Others said, "We don't believe you!" The municipal leaders came to inspect the school, and they kindly patted Chen Chu on the shoulder and asked about his study and campus life, inviting him to visit them. Looking at the dumbfounded looks of the school leaders, teachers, and students who had just asked if he was just from an ordinary family, Chen Chu was stunned. Teachers and students said, "How do you explain this time?" Chen Chu was at a loss and said, "I didn't lie. I'm just from an ordinary family. How could I know these municipal leaders?"

Chapter 1Binding a Big Shot

As an ordinary second-year student, Chen Chu did not think that there was anything special about him even though he was bound to the Perfect Life System. This was because there was no movement from this system after he was bound to it for many years.

There was no beginner's gift bag, no mission interface, or even the System Shop. There was only an empty system screen.

Chen Chu's initial smugness gradually turned into hysteria, to dishearten, and now, he no longer cared. As expected, he was just an ordinary person among all living beings. He did not have the fate of a protagonist.

Chen Chu sighed and fanned himself faster. He was getting more and more frustrated.

The weather in Guangdong Province at the end of April was stuffy and hot, especially since it was still noon. The classroom was as stuffy as a steamer. It was useless to turn on the eight ceiling fans until the wind speed was the highest, as the wind was hot.

His deskmate, Wang Hai, tugged at his collar. He was so hot that his forehead was covered in sweat. He quickly fanned himself. "This school doesn't even have an air conditioner. It's so hot."

Chen Chu grinned. "Be content! I've never heard of any school in our city installing air-conditioning for classrooms."

"Let's go to the washroom to wash our faces and cool ourselves down." The two of them walked out of the classroom.

At the same time, in an elegant park in the city.

Chen Baijia, the chairman of the Chen Corporation, suddenly heard an electronic voice in his mind.

[Ding! System bound!]

[Upon completing the mission, the affinity with the 'target person' will increase, and the relationship will be upgraded. Rewards will be obtained.]

[Target: Chen Chu]

[Identity file: Click to view.]

[Current task: Install air conditioning for Chen Chu's classroom]

[Mission Reward: ???]

[Ding! Binding Gift Bag has been issued!]

Chen Baijia paused for a moment, put down his pen, and picked up the phone. "Little Li, invite a psychiatrist over." With that, he hung up the phone and took off his glasses. He leaned against the back of the chair tiredly. He was so tired that he was hallucinating. He leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers on the armrest. He closed his eyes and a screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Baijia opened his eyes in shock. He hurriedly closed his eyes again, and the screen was still in front of him.

At this moment, a line of words appeared on the bright blue screen. [Do you want to open the binding gift bag?]

Chen Baijia's heart raced. After hesitating for a while, he chose 'yes'.

[Congratulations on opening the binding gift bag. Please choose one of the following options as your reward: One: Two years of lifespan. Two: A healthy and young body.]

Chen Baijia's breathing quickened as he looked at the enviable reward. He subconsciously blurted out, "Can I take them all?"

As he grew older, Chen Baijia could feel his energy decreasing year by year, and his health deteriorating. Although he was well-maintained and only looked to be in his thirties, only he knew that he was not young anymore.

Especially the older he got, the more afraid he was of death. He was so rich and had not enjoyed this wonderful world enough. How could he die?! He wanted his lifespan, and he wanted to recover his healthy and young body.

The system refused.

Chen Baijia was extremely disappointed. After hesitating for a while, he chose a healthy body. He could not prove that he had increased his lifespan, but a healthy young body could not be faked.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up. He was full of vigor, surging vitality, a body that did not feel sluggish, and a clear mind. His decreased vision, sluggish sense of smell, and hidden injuries were all healed. Although he still had a 48-year-old body and his lifespan had not increased, it was real!

Chen Baijia was overjoyed and hurriedly checked the screen. He wanted to figure out what was going on. A moment later, he muttered to himself, "A student named Chen Chu? Studying at the Experimental No.1 High School? He's from an ordinary family and his parents ran a meat stall? From the identity file provided by the system, he's just an ordinary person. Why does everything in the system revolve around him?"

He knocked on the armrest and picked up the phone. "Little Li, tell the psychiatrist to go back. In addition, contact the principal of Experimental No.1 High School. I have the intention to donate 10 million yuan to Experimental No.1 High School to contribute to the education of the next generation. Tomorrow, I'll go to the school to take a look at the children's learning environment."

Money was not useless to him, but before it reached a certain amount, it was just a number. However, as long as he could create an opportunity to get to know Chen Chu tomorrow, the money would be worth it.

In addition, he did not forget the mission of the system to install an air conditioner in Chen Chu's classroom. A portion of the 10 million yuan was for the cost of installing air conditioners in all the classrooms in Experimental No.1 High School.

In the washroom on the fourth floor of the third academic building.

Chen Chu washed his face and rinsed off the sweat on it. He immediately felt refreshed. Before returning to the classroom, Chen Chu's hair was blown out of shape by the hot wind in the corridor.

Chen Chu was very satisfied. On a whim, he suddenly remembered the Perfect Life System that he had almost forgotten. He opened the system and his eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the system screen in surprise.

On it was a line of words.

[Ding! You have received a binding gift bag for the first time. Reward: Telekinesis.]

[Binding Gift Bag: Three years of lifespan or a healthy and young body (Both available).]

[Additional Reward: Three Disease Remedy Pills (Heal all diseases).]

[System Space activated!]

F*ck, is there something wrong with the system?!

...

In the afternoon, during the third period, speakers all over the school suddenly sounded.

"Now, I would like to invite all teachers, school leaders, and committee members to the meeting room for a meeting. Students will self-study. Repeat. All teachers, school leaders, and committee members, please head to the conference room for a meeting. Students will self-study!"

(Committee members refers to the students who join the school committee.)

The language teacher who was teaching Chen Chu's class frowned when he heard the announcement. High school time was tight and missions were heavy. Usually, they would not inform the teachers of an emergency meeting during class, unless it was a special event.

The language teacher put down the mouse. "I'm going to a meeting. The vice class monitor will supervise the discipline. The other students will study by themselves. The class monitor is coming with me to the meeting."

Chen Chu stood up and followed behind the language teacher. He was the class monitor and the class secretary.

His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

Translation quality: superb. Nothing much to say here, really, other than that the prose flows like it was written in English originally. There are no obvious errors, and even the common ones caused by the webnovel backend are missing. Updating stability: trial read. These always release 20 initial chapters, then 20 more chapters in batches of five until they go on hiatus forever, so I can only give this a 3/5. I sincerely hope it gets picked up, though. Story development: unique in a good way. It presents a fresh take on the system novel genre, where two people have complementary systems. One person is assigned a task and both are rewarded by that person completing the task - except the person who benefits the most from the mission (the MC) is the one that didn’t receive it. In theory, it sounds like it should be overly complex and bloated, but in practice it works very well. Two things to be concerned about, though: there are already indicators of heavy nationalism and China STRONK! and spiritual power/cultivation tropes. I just hope that, in the future, this doesn’t end up becoming just another trash cultivation novel with strong nationalistic elements. But as of chapter 30, I’m only seeing hints of those (ancient martial arts proficiency and spiritual marrow-washing spring water, plus mentions of the technology blockade that’s being poorly enforced on China by “the west”). Character design: fresh. The MC is portrayed incredibly well, with his confusion at the seemingly random rewards from his system coming across as realistic and genuine. It’s in the early stages though, so as he develops that may change. The reactions of the small antagonists are exaggerated, and somewhat unrealistic because of those exaggerations. So I hope that trend doesn’t continue, but I won’t hold out high hopes for it. World background: urban standard. It’s a modern-day novel set in the real world, so there really isn’t much to say here. No amount of world building can ever top the world building done by Reality(tm).
