It's summer, and the sun in Gurnia is naturally scorching the entire land, making the villagers who come and go wear cool clothes.

The river that contributes fresh water to the village flows by Miaomiao, but it fails to cool down the hot weather a little. The surrounding air is still extremely hot, as if it could fry an egg.

In such an environment, a young man with black hair and brown eyes was carrying a bucket of drinking water from the river in each hand. Although he was sweating profusely, he did not gasp for breath because of it. Instead, he kept a steady pace.

At this moment, a house appeared in front of the young man. Under a small tree at the door, a middle-aged man with a sinewy face was sitting. It was obvious that he was enjoying the cool weather here.

When he saw the young man coming, he greeted happily, "Xavier, the weather is really hot today. Why don't you come to my place to enjoy the cool air and play a game of Gwent?"

"Sorry, I have something important to do today."

Although he said so, in fact it was nothing important at all. He just didn't want to see a "friend".

Seeing the man named Xavier politely refuse, the middle-aged man was obviously unhappy. Sensing his dissatisfaction, a prompt sounded in Xavier's mind.

"Warning! Luca's favorability dropped from 40% to 35%!"

Hearing this sound, Xavier was not surprised at all, and even accelerated his pace, not wanting to stay here for even a moment.

Unfortunately, his pace seemed not fast enough. Behind him, the sound of a door opening softly sounded, and a tall woman with a relatively strong stature came out. She walked up to the big man just now, opened her mouth and shouted -

-

"Brother Xavier!"

However, in her eyes, the brother seemed not to hear, and even ran away. The confused woman surnamed Tan could only puff up her cheeks and angrily told herself that she would never pay attention to him again!

In fact, what she was thinking about at the moment was Xavier's wish. Facing this sturdy woman with a favorability score of 90%, he really couldn't think of any idea of ​​continuing the family lineage. After all, she didn't look like a straight man.

Aesthetics.

And the main culprit for all of this happening is the system in Xavier's mind. If it hadn't been for it, he wouldn't have caused such big trouble.

Thinking of this, he shook his head silently, placed two buckets of water next to a wooden house, then gently opened the door and returned to his temporary home.

Even in another world, he still can't afford to buy his own land for the time being. He currently lives in the home of Barry, an old man and his savior.

Sitting on the chair, Xavier checked his system and found that the upper limit of physical strength on the character panel had increased a lot (currently 140). This was because he had been fetching water from the river for more than a month and his body had improved.

It's also natural.

As for this system, Xavier obtained it when he traveled through time more than a month ago. He was originally just an ordinary office worker in China, but he didn't expect to come to this world after opening his eyes in front of a convenience store.

At first, he cried, collapsed, and even wanted to jump off the edge of the cliff to see if he would be resurrected. However, a month later, he gradually adapted to this world, and even temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going back...

...

After all, he is a systematic man. If this is an online article, he is the hero here. If this is an animation, he is the protagonist. How can he give up because of a small setback?

It's just that this system is really cheating... Not to mention that it usually doesn't give you tasks. At certain times, it will give you some options inexplicably, requiring you to choose one from them.

For example, when he met the sturdy woman at the beginning of time travel, the system asked him to make the following statement--

1. Dear girl, will it hurt when you fall from the sky?

2. I can't control my desire, please come with me to the fields to chat!

3. Is your relative a hippopotamus?

No matter which option he chose, Xavier wanted to name a plant or another name for the sun.

There was even a progress bar above the options, so he had no time to think and had to make a choice as soon as possible.

Maybe you are thinking, can’t it be enough if I don’t make a choice? Then you are still too young. When the time is up, the system will automatically randomly choose one for you, and most of the time it will be the worst.

So in the end, Xavier decided to choose one, and then received the reward sound from the system.

"Congratulations to the host! Lysa's favorability has increased from 30% to 90%!"

What kind of reward is this!? Xavier shouted in his heart, and then he noticed that the girl in front of him looked at him in a way that gradually changed...

What happened next is also unclear, and it was also the reason why Xavier ran so fast just now.

This can be regarded as a disguised increase in my physical strength. Should I thank the system... He smiled bitterly in his heart.

So far, the system has not played any role other than letting him see his attributes and providing that choice.

This made him wonder if it was here to deceive him about the benefits of the time-travelers it had promised? Or was it that he had to trigger more of the same situations as last time in order to get the "rewards" from the system?

After thinking about it, Xavier began to consider how to commit suicide. After all, his character panel was full of pitiful values.

[Host: Xavier

Age:22

Attack power:1

Armor:0

Physical strength:75/140

Magic:0/0

Mental power:996/1000

Potion Resistance: 0/0

God proximity: 0/0

Life:100/100】

This pile of data more or less shows that there are many high-level powers in this world, such as magic or potions, but Xavier obviously does not have any talent.

And what the hell is attack power 1? It's really 'HP-1'! Doesn't it mean that you have to hit a hundred punches to hit my clone?

Except for the better ones, the rest are miserable.

So no matter what, he must rely on this cheating system to help him slowly upgrade.

Just when he was thinking about how to commit suicide so that the system could give him a choice, the system seemed to know what he was thinking and directly issued him a task.

[The limited time task is triggered, do you want to accept it? 】

[Reward: Skill Point x1, Lucky Draw Opportunity x1]

Hearing this notification sound, Xavier was first surprised, and then fell into deep thought.

Zhen Nai said Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

But...why does the system give me such preferential treatment? Xavier suddenly had doubts in his heart, could it be another trick?

After thinking about it for a moment, he still pressed the 'accept' button. It was a trick, and the reward was worth the risk!

The moment he pressed it, the whole world suddenly changed.

The first thing that appeared was the change in hearing. Xavier heard a ringing sound from outside the house, one beat every two seconds, continuous and continuous, seeming to announce that something was coming, and at the same time, the wooden door was pushed open with force.

"Xavier!"

The person who said this seemed very flustered, even a little scared. He was Xavier's savior, Barry, an old man with gray temples. He also had a wife named Cassidy.

"There are monsters, monsters have invaded from the river! But Cassidy is still washing clothes there, we must save her!"

For a moment, Xavier was lost.

Yes, the reason why he chose to accept the task was to become stronger himself, but he didn't know that all this would put others in danger.

If he had known earlier, he would have chosen to refuse!

What's more, Cassidy is not a stranger to him. Even though he has been living here for free for a month, the old lady has always treated him well...

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth silently, cursed the system secretly, and then realized that he would have to bear the consequences of his actions.

"No problem, I'll help you!"

Upon hearing this, the old man Barry's eyes suddenly showed gratitude, and then he immediately took out two steel swords from under the bed, holding one for himself and handing the other to Xavier.
Chapter completed!
