Chapter 8 - System Settings

When Sheila got home, she was in a panic.

She locked the door from the inside and sat on the bed for a long time before she came to her senses. She didn't know that the person had just tried to rob her, but seeing such a person suddenly terrified her.

Luis hung up the phone, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He had just talked to the girl and confirmed that she had narrowly escaped disaster, but he did not feel any discomfort in his body.

The absence of any backlash relieved him somewhat, as he no longer had to worry about saving someone else and ending up getting himself killed.

This is not really some cultivation world....

This a technology world.

After thinking for a moment, Luis fell asleep again.

Few Hours Later, the alarm clock rang, and Luis tidied up and prepared to go to work.

Although he was no longer the same Luis, after thinking about it all night, he decided to temporarily return to his original lifestyle.

He feared that if the change was too rapid, some people around him might discover his true colors, and he might be arrested and dissected by the government.

In today's society, information spreads too fast.

Furthermore, although this society is the same as the society he knows, and he has fully accepted the memories of his predecessor, he still needs to re-understand the people around him from his own perspective, and cannot judge solely based on his memories.

What If...

This really is a world with superpowers...

Moreover, to complete the system's tasks, he needed someone to act as a go-between. Right now, Luis had nothing but a few thousand dollars in savings; a few thousand couldn't buy a villa.

With his money, even a toilet cannot be bought.

Even if you have the ability to tell fortunes, you can't just meet someone and say, "You're going to have a bad day tomorrow, believe me, or you'll be in big trouble."

Doing this will only result in two outcomes: getting beaten up and then extorting money from you based on your strength, or being sent directly to a mental hospital.

He went out, got on the bus, and thankfully he didn't need to take the subway; the bus went directly there.

The bus was packed during rush hour, and everyone seemed drowsy and not in good spirits. Luis couldn't find a seat and was squeezed between a man and a girl.

Unable to even touch the handrails, they could only rely on their legs and the surrounding pressure to maintain their balance.

The bus kept stopping and starting. Luis looked at the girl in front of him. Because it was summer, the girl was wearing super short denim shorts and a white T-shirt on her upper body. He couldn't see her face directly, but from the side, she looked average-looking.

At this moment, the girl's buttocks were right in front of his genitals. His body, modified by the system, was extremely sensitive, and his desires were even stronger.

Because of the crowd and the car's inconsistent speed, the girl's buttocks kept rubbing against his genitals.

'Stop rubbing, or I'll get hard!'

Luis tried his best to control his body. He didn't want to get hard like this. If he was treated like a pervert on a public bus, his life would be ruined.

He put his hand in his pocket and pressed down hard on his throbbing penis to prevent it from embarrassing itself.

At the same time, in order to divert his attention, Luis had an idea and looked at the fortune of the girl in front of him.

A panel appeared out of thin air above the girl's head, with lines of small text appearing.

[Fortune: Low to medium.]

[Luck: Medium.]

[Lifespan: Above average.]

[Career prospects in government: None.]

[Romantic luck: Low to medium.]

Yesterday, Luis studied his fortune-telling abilities and found that there were still many details that could be explored.

When a person focuses their attention on a particular aspect of their fortune, the system will provide a warning about events that will affect that fortune within the next three months, and then summarize the person's overall life fortune.

Whether it's flat or undulating, it's only a general description, not specific details.

Take the girl he saw yesterday, for example. Her fortune and luck are about to change. Her fortune will suffer immediately, and her luck will be hit by a misfortune. Because it is something that will happen very soon, there will be a warning.

If nothing happens within three months that could affect one's fortune, then it will not happen.

Afterwards, he studied the classification of fortune levels.

If one's fortune is low, the total amount of money earned in one's lifetime will not exceed $100,000; low to medium is between $100,000 and $500,000; medium is between $500,000 and $1 million; upper medium is between $1 million and $10 million; high is between $10 million and $100 million; very high is between $100 million and $1 billion; and the highest is over $1 billion.

Good fortune is often equated with longevity. If one's fortune is low, misfortune will constantly occur throughout life, and it will be difficult to live to old age.

Those of lower and middle class face numerous difficulties throughout their lives, including being destitute in old age and having unfilial children.

The middle level is characterized by dying of old age, but with a life full of ups and downs.

A moderately fortunate life is one with a smooth destiny, many children and grandchildren, and filial offspring, which can be considered a wonderful and comfortable life.

The highest level of good fortune means everything goes smoothly, with benefactors in one's life helping one; whatever one does, everything goes well.

The highest level of good fortune is like the lucky protagonist on TV; anyone who crosses paths with him will almost certainly meet a bad end.

Those with the highest level of fortune are destined for greatness and will eventually become a powerful figure.

Longevity is relatively simple; living a long life means having good longevity. The categories are: low-level (under 40 years old); lower-middle-level (50–60 years old); middle-level (60–70 years old); upper-middle-level (70–80 years old); high-level (80–90 years old); very-high-level (90–100 years old); and highest-level (over 100 years old).

Those with low-level careers stop at entry-level or technical specialist positions; those with lower-middle-level careers reach the level of team leader or supervisor; those with middle-level careers rise to manager or director; those with upper-middle-level careers advance to department head or senior executive; those with high-level careers hold cabinet or CEO positions; those with very-high-level careers are national leaders or heads of state; and those with highest-level careers wield influence like true emperors.

A person's "romantic luck" is categorized based on the number of sexual partners they have in their lifetime. The low-level is one sexual partner; the lower-middle-level is 1–5; the middle-level is 5–10; the upper-middle-level is 10–50; the high-level is 50–200; the very-high-level is 200–1,000; and the highest-level is like the Mick Jagger in modern times, who had four thousand sexual sex.

Mick Jagger... 4000 sexual partners.

Damn!!!
