"Interesting." Jiang Xiao carefully recalled the memories in his mind. Although he had just arrived in this world, he was already deeply attracted by this magical place.

In his original world, he had no relatives or ties, so there was nothing to worry about.

This world actually had all sorts of bizarre abilities?

Wow, that's amazing.

Jiang Xiao stood up and looked around his "pigsty," which was truly unbearable to look at. After much thought, he resigned himself to picking up the clothes one by one and hanging them back in the wardrobe as he remembered.

The piles of crumpled paper on the floor made Jiang Xiao feel the urge to blow his nose again.

Damn, why would he still catch a cold after becoming an Awakened?

I'm really ashamed of you, Jiang Xiaopi!

While criticizing Jiang Xiaopi, Jiang Xiao picked up the crumpled paper and put it in a garbage bag, filling two large bags. Jiang Xiao felt utterly exasperated.

How could such a handsome and clean young man be so messy?

Did your sister dress you?

As he tidied up, Jiang Xiao frowned. In his memories, Jiang Xiaopi had always been "flirtatious and wild," especially after his parents left three years ago. Without proper guidance, he became more and more unruly day by day.

However, this unruliness was still within acceptable limits. But two months ago, after Jiang Xiaopi awakened at his graduation ceremony, his "arrogant and cool" personality became uncontrollable.

Perhaps his mindset became unbalanced after starting his Awakened career?

This unbalanced mindset reached its peak three days ago.

Hmm?

Jiang Xiao paused, slowly placing the garbage bag at the door. He found something significant in his memories.

A system!?

An Inner Vision Star Map!?

How could Jiang Xiaopi have a system?

Could it be... that Jiang Xiaopi really became the chosen one, directly activating a golden finger, which led to a complete change in his mindset, making him feel he was the best in the world?

And then, just as "the best in the world" started his boasting career, he was slapped to death by his little sister?

Jiang Xiao cautiously opened the Inner Vision Map, and a virtual image of himself appeared in the center.

The virtual Jiang Xiao was just the background, with three major sections clearly listed:

1. Star Power.

2. Star Skills.

3. Basic Skills.

At the top, a constellation appeared.

Nine dim stars formed the shape of a ladle, very similar to the "Big Dipper," but with a longer handle and two additional dim stars, making a total of nine stars.

The nine stars were connected by faint starlight, surrounding the "ladle" constellation.

Above the constellation, a line of text was very clear:

Star Power: Star Dust Level 2.

Star Dust Level?

Jiang Xiao's expression was a bit strange. He slowly sat on the single bed and carefully recalled, finally understanding that the Star Dust Level was a classification of the amount of Star Power an Awakened person had in this world.

Above the Star Dust Level, there were the Nebula Level, Galaxy Level, Star Sea Level, and Star Sky Level. It seemed that human society had only classified up to the Star Sky Level, and anything above that was just a legend, with no way to verify.

Jiang Xiao habitually rubbed his hair, looking at his Star Map, and gradually became excited.

The second section, two simple words: Star Skills.

To Jiang Xiao's disappointment, the Star Skills section was completely empty.

No skills at all?

So poor?

Jiang Xiao shook his head and continued to the third section, where he finally found something new.

The third section, Basic Skills:

Basic Combat (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable)

Abundant Star Power (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable)

And that was it.

Jiang Xiao understood what Basic Combat meant, but what did Bronze Quality mean? The lowest quality? And what was Abundant Star Power?

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and carefully examined: Abundant Star Power: the speed of gathering and recovering Star Power (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable).

Wow, that's amazing.

The first section gave me a "Big Dipper with nine stars" constellation.

The second section, Star Skills, was completely empty.

The third section had two basic skills, both of which seemed very useful and could be upgraded?

Was Jiang Xiaopi so bold and talkative because of this?

"Jiang! Xiao! Pi!" At that moment, a cold voice came from outside the door, clearly angry, with each word seemingly squeezed out through clenched teeth.

The next moment, the door was violently opened, and the girl in the white dress, with her fair skin and beautiful appearance, appeared again!

"You really don't eat... huh?" The girl in the white dress was stunned. The room, which was just full of crumpled paper and messy, was now spotlessly clean.

Han Jiangxue's black eyes scanned the room, then saw Jiang Xiao sitting on the bed, looking dazed. Her anger gradually subsided, and she said in a cold voice, "Come eat."

With that, she turned and left.

Jiang Xiao blinked. Didn't she just say "don't eat" and slap Jiang Xiaopi?

How long has it been? Half an hour? And she's already here to call him for dinner?

Although Jiang Xiaopi was only 16 and Han Jiangxue's younger brother, he had been "slapped away" by her, perhaps to another world?

Jiang Xiao, a 25-year-old adult who had just arrived, could see from the girl's behavior that she had a bit of a tsundere personality.

However, to be fair, this girl had a very good appearance.

Her only flaw was that she was a bit flat, like an airport...

...

Jiang Xiao quickly tidied up the bed and walked around the house as he remembered. The 120 square meter, three-bedroom, one-living room apartment was quite nice, except for Jiang Xiaopi's pigsty. The rest of the place was clean and elegantly decorated, showing the taste of the homeowner.

He put the two large garbage bags at the door, then returned to the bathroom to wash his hands carefully before entering the kitchen.

Han Jiangxue, with her long black hair tied in a ponytail, still had a cold expression towards Jiang Xiao.

Although her face was still cold, she was secretly puzzled. What happened to Jiang Xiaopi?

Was he really woken up by that slap?

In fact, Han Jiangxue wasn't a violent person. She had never hit Jiang Xiaopi. Although her cold personality made it hard for her to show warmth, her actions were caring, quietly taking care of Jiang Xiaopi's daily life.

Two months ago, she was secretly happy about Jiang Xiaopi's awakening, but after his awakening, disaster struck. Although Jiang Xiaopi had become more difficult to deal with after his parents left three years ago, his personality changed dramatically after his awakening two months ago, especially three days ago, when he became extremely arrogant.

Han Jiangxue had been enduring Jiang Xiaopi's childish and ridiculous behavior. Just when she didn't know how to guide him, today's video made her reach her limit.

For someone with a cold personality like Han Jiangxue, anger didn't come suddenly but built up over time. Clearly, Jiang Xiaopi's outrageous and shameless behavior three days ago had thoroughly enraged her.

What she never expected was that the effect of that slap was astonishing!

This boy tidied up his clothes,

cleaned the room,

stopped causing trouble,

and quietly came to eat!

Look at him now, how obedient.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao, who was eating with his head down, and couldn't help but stretch out her right hand to look at her white, tender palm.

Did I awaken a new Star Skill?

Jiang Xiao secretly observed Han Jiangxue, seeing her examining her palm, and couldn't help but shudder.

Although that slap was on Jiang Xiaopi, Jiang Xiao's back of the head still ached, and he couldn't help but recall the video.

Have you ever seen a palm strike from the sky?

Special for the back of the head?

It cures, but it can also kill!
