Three police officers continued searching for a while but found nothing.
"Captain Wang, what should we do?" Pei Yong, the humanoid monster, asked. His voice was gentle, and his expression showed great respect for Wang Daqiang.
"Let's go, pack up!" Wang Daqiang made a decisive decision.
"Sorry for the disturbance," Pei Yong said to Wang Tian.
"No problem, assisting the police is a citizen's duty," Wang Tian replied with a smile.
Watching them walk away, Wang Tian closed the door and finally had a moment to calm down. The events of the afternoon were truly bizarre, and he couldn't fully adapt to them yet.
The game system had entered his body, an undeniable fact. But how did he use this game system? He only knew one function: viewing others' information.
As this thought crossed his mind, his mind immediately received feedback from the system chip: use your thoughts to summon the game panel.
The game chip was a high-tech biochip. After being implanted in the human brain through a drop of blood, it could fully integrate with the brain. It could judge a person's thoughts through changes in brain waves and respond accordingly.
"Game control panel."
Wang Tian's thought "shouted" it.
Immediately, an image appeared in his mind, similar to the control panel of the online games he used to play.
There were three large sections at the top: Character Attributes, Quest System, and Skill System. There were also seven or eight small icons on the side, all gray, clearly not yet activated.
He opened the Attributes panel.
Wang Tian's thought acted like a mouse, clicking on the Character Attributes section, which then opened to reveal his attribute information.
The first thing he saw was his picture, dressed exactly as he was now, with his basic information beside it.
Name: Wang Tian. Gender: Male. Age: 18.
Health: 180/180, Attack: 50-120, Stamina: 120/120.
Strength: 90, Intelligence: 95, Agility: 80, Constitution: 56.
Equipment: None.
Combat Skills: None.
Strength affects attack power, Intelligence affects learning ability, Agility affects supply speed and dodge chance, and Constitution affects stamina and health. Players gain 8 attribute points per level, with 4 points evenly distributed among Strength, Intelligence, Agility, and Constitution, and the remaining 4 points freely allocated.
Seeing this, Wang Tian was quite conflicted. He was completely digitized and gamified.
Character Description: An ordinary human teenager, both parents deceased, with a simple and kind heart. Living with his younger sister, who is three years younger.
Wang Tian noticed that the information in his attribute panel was much more detailed than that of the three police officers. The police officers' attributes only showed health and attack, while his showed detailed information on Strength, Intelligence, Agility, and Constitution. There was also a character evaluation, and he couldn't help but feel a bit proud when he saw the system's evaluation of him as simple and kind.
After reviewing the information, Wang Tian's thought-mouse clicked on the Quests panel. The Quests panel opened to reveal four smaller sections: Learning Quests, Life Quests, Emotional Quests, and Combat Quests.
Learning Quest: Main Quest — Get into college! Completion: 0%. Reward: 10,000 Learning Experience Points.
My main quest is to get into college? To complete this task, he would have to attend classes and do homework every day. The system's quests were tailored to each person's characteristics. Could it be that deep down, he still hoped to go to college?
Seeing this quest, Wang Tian felt heavy-hearted. It wasn't because of his poor grades or fear of failing, but because of his past.
Wang Tian's background was quite pitiful. From as far back as he could remember, his father was absent. His mother raised him and his younger sister alone. She was a beautiful woman with the grace of a lady. Because of this, their lives were often disturbed by unsavory people.
Later, his mother fell ill from overwork and was bedridden when Wang Tian was 12. Some neighbors took her to the hospital, but they couldn't afford treatment. At her insistence, they returned home to leave it to fate.
On her deathbed, she tightly held his hand, urging him to take good care of his sister. She gave him a bank card and then passed away.
Later, Wang Tian checked the balance on the card at the bank. It had 200,000 yuan. He immediately understood that his mother wasn't short of money for treatment but was afraid that if she spent it all, they wouldn't be able to support themselves in the future, so she chose to die. Every time he thought about it, his eyes would turn red.
Now, six years had passed, and the money in the card was almost gone. Wang Tian knew that this amount was far from enough to support both him and his sister through school. Therefore, he planned to get a high school diploma and then work to support his sister's education. He never thought about going to college himself.
Because of this, he wasn't focused on his studies and often skipped classes to watch TV at home. He was originally very smart and had entered high school as the top student, but his grades had plummeted since he had this idea. Even so, getting a high school diploma wasn't a problem.
Now, the system's main quest was to get into college! The system wouldn't lie, so it seemed that deep down, he had a dream of going to college. Wang Tian sighed.
After reviewing the Learning Quests, he opened the Life Quests.
Life Quest: Raise his sister to adulthood. Completion: 15-18.
Reward: A mysterious reward.
Seeing the numbers 15-18, Wang Tian immediately understood. His sister was 15 years old, and in today's society, 18 is considered adulthood. So, the quest would be completed once his sister turned 18.
This quest was relatively easy to complete, but it would take a long time.
He then opened the Emotional Quests.
Emotional Quest: Main Quest — Pursue the female NPC Si Si to be his girlfriend.
Completion: 0%. Reward: 3,000 Emotional Experience Points.
Seeing this quest, Wang Tian couldn't help but exclaim. The system was incredibly intelligent. Even his sister didn't know about his crush on Si Si, but the system did and had even made it a main quest.
For Wang Tian, who had almost no dating experience, this quest was quite challenging. Si Si was the school's acknowledged beauty, and her father was the CEO of a listed company and a school trustee. Most importantly, she was also 15 and in the third year of junior high school, just like his sister.
Finally, he opened the Combat Quests.
Combat Quest: Learn martial arts.
According to the system's detection, the player's current combat power was relatively low. Learning martial arts would be beneficial for future monster hunting and leveling up.
Quest Hint: Huadu Park.
Learn martial arts!?
The system actually required him to learn martial arts and even provided a quest hint! Wang Tian was excited. Huadu Park was very close to his home, so it seemed he would find his "master" there.
These quests were tailor-made for Wang Tian!
After reviewing the Quests panel, Wang Tian opened the Skills panel. Skills corresponded to quests and were divided into Learning Skills, Life Skills, Emotional Skills, and Combat Skills.
Learning Skills: None.
Below the skills was an experience bar: Learning Experience 9998/10000. Level 0. Each level-up in Learning Experience would grant a random skill. These skills could only enhance the player's learning and creativity, not combat ability.
In other words, if he had learning skills, he would learn things faster in the future, and even create new things.
Ways to increase Learning Experience: Reading, attending classes, and completing homework. Each method increased experience by 1 point per hour. Wang Tian saw that his accumulated learning experience from elementary to high school was 9998 points, just 2 points away from leveling up.
Wang Tian was very curious about what ability he would gain after leveling up his learning skills.
Life Skills: 1. Cooking, Intermediate. Can prepare delicious and satisfying food, which reduces hunger and increases happiness. The skill icon was a round icon with a steaming bowl of rice in the center.
Wang Tian wasn't surprised that he had reached Intermediate in Cooking. He had been taking care of his sister since he was 12, preparing all three meals of the day. Six years of experience was enough to reach Intermediate.
2. Animal Taming, Intermediate. Can gain initial recognition from animals. The skill icon was a round icon with a dog-like animal in the center.
He had the Animal Taming skill because he had helped his mother raise chickens, ducks, rabbits, and a large yellow dog for three years in his hometown, which allowed him to reach Intermediate in this skill.
Emotional Skills: Crush. The skill icon was a round icon with a boy's image, his eyes filled with red hearts, looking infatuated.
Even having a crush had become a skill!
