Ziteng City, Yongsheng Town, Sunshine Kindergarten.
The warm evening sun of summer shone upon the earth.
Children from Class One and Class Three were all playing in the schoolyard, laughing and chattering, while the two female kindergarten teachers wore black lines on their faces as they were made to dash about by this little group of little devils, escorting these living ancestors.
"Play is play! Kids, don't run around—it's dangerous! And when you're on the slide, don't climb up the wrong way! And you definitely can't eat the green plants—spit them out right now! Can't you all just listen for once! Teacher is really going to get mad!"
Amid the noisy atmosphere, a five-year-old girl in a little white dress, her hair in a ponytail held by a strawberry hair clip, sat quietly in a corner next to the sandpit.
She gripped a piece of chocolate candy tightly in her hand, wondering how she was going to give it away later.
Her honest and adorably slow nature made her hesitate; she picked up a twig and drew circles in the sand.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered the courage to give the candy she had brought to him.
She stood up to look for the boy's figure; seeing all the classmates gathered around the balance-beam area, she knew that Older Brother Wenjie was probably there.
He had always been the center of attention.
As expected, as she approached she found many people surrounding a boy and a girl.
The boy was exactly Liu Wenjie, the one the girl was looking for.
As for the girl, she wasn't familiar with her but recognized her—a classmate from Class Three who liked to wear pretty floral dresses, had twin ponytails, was especially cute, and was called Xu Feifei.
Floral-dress Xu Feifei tilted her head proudly and said, "Liu Wenjie, yesterday during combined class I heard you singing; it sounded really nice, and you're also pretty good-looking."
Liu Wenjie looked thoroughly impatient: "Oh, so what?"
Xu Feifei put her hands on her hips, and the onlookers seemed to make her even prouder:
"I came here to tell you: I, Xu Feifei, am willing to be your friend. From now on we can play together! But the condition is, without my permission you're not allowed to play with other girls! If you want to play you have to get my consent first, and everything you do has to be reported to me! Understand?!"
Liu Wenjie gaped at this little devil-girl, unable to fathom the thought processes of these five-year-olds: "Why?"
Xu Feifei lifted her head smugly:
"Because I have everything! My house has tons of toys, and even a little car you can drive! And lots of dolls to play with—way more than a supermarket! If you're my friend you can come play at my house on the weekends; lots of people want to be friends with me but can't! You should be secretly happy!"
The surrounding children burst into chatter upon hearing this: "Wow, isn't that Xu Feifei from Class Three? I heard her house has so many toys you can't play through them all!"
"Yeah, I heard she even has a special toy room, and the toys inside are super rare! Lots of people want to go, but only her friends are allowed!"
"I'm so jealous! I want to be Xu Feifei's good friend too! Xu Feifei, can I be friends with you? I want to come play at your house on the weekend too!"
Xu Feifei, the center of attention, heard these words and her mouth stretched so wide it almost reached her ears; her back straightened, the little girl puffed out her chest and narrowed her eyes:
"Not possible! Not just anyone can be my friend! Today only Liu Wenjie has this qualification, so Liu Wenjie, what's your answer?! You only get one chance, so treasure it! Think carefully!"
In the crowd Liu Wenjie blinked—what kind of tyrant queen of the kindergarten was this?
Familiar three-choice options appeared before his eyes.
[The rich girl from the next class wants to make you her exclusive friend. Your choice is?]
[Option One: Of course, I'd love to make friends with girls! From now on I'll listen to everything you say! Reward: Poor Tom, doomed to be toyed with by women for life.]
[Option Two: What kind of ridiculous devil-girl is this? As a transmigrator I have big things to do. Answer: No. If you want to be my friend there are requirements—you don't qualify. Reward: Intelligence +1, Attribute Panel unlocked.]
[Option Three: Who is this little kid? What's she babbling about? Class isn't even over and I'm starving; I'll just act crazy and chase her away. Answer: Ultraman transformation! Red form! Reward: No athlete's foot for a lifetime.]
The system's voice perked Liu Wenjie up—time to make a choice again?
Option One looked downright insane—was he someone who could be blinded by a girl?! Skip.
Option Two's reward was decent; of course making friends required standards—first let's check Three.
Option Three... though the reward was nice, as a transmigrator he shouldn't scar his childhood self, or else the teachers would tell his parents he'd gone mad at school and the neighbors would mock him for life.
Still Option Two.
Liu Wenjie looked at proud Xu Feifei and said clearly, "I've decided—no. If you want to be my friend there are requirements; you don't qualify. Find someone else."
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Intelligence +1, Attribute Panel unlocked.]
Xu Feifei had thought the answer was a foregone conclusion, but only when he finished speaking did she open her eyes wide in shock, as though she'd misheard: "What did you say?"
The rest of the kindergarten murmured in shock, as if this would astonish the children for an entire year—some covered their mouths, others stared wide-eyed.
"What! Liu Wenjie actually said no—my goodness! How could he think that way? She has a whole room of toys!"
"Yeah, how could he think like that? Those toys are things ordinary people can't even get to play with! And he refused!"
"My gosh! If I were Liu Wenjie I'd definitely say yes!"
The little girl in the white dress who had come to give a gift was also surprised—surprised that Liu Wenjie had actually refused. Xu Feifei was famously sought-after in Class Three; often people begged to be friends with her and she ignored them.
Faced with the questioning voices around him, Liu Wenjie repeated, "I said no."
Xu Feifei couldn't believe it; her big watery eyes trembled, her body leaning forward as she clenched her tiny fists in shock: "You... are you crazy?! Do you think I'm not good enough to be your friend?! Where am I not good enough?!"
Liu Wenjie waved his hand in boredom: "No, no, I just don't want to be friends with you, that's all. Okay, that's it—I'm going to play somewhere else. You all stay here and play."
"You—!" Xu Feifei watched Liu Wenjie walk away from the crowd, her rosy little mouth open, grinding her teeth: "Liu... Liu Wenjie! You'll regret this!"
Liu Wenjie gave a soft laugh—regret being friends with a little brat? Don't make me laugh.
"I won't regret it."
Hearing Liu Wenjie's merciless answer, Xu Feifei's little heart suddenly couldn't take it; she had never suffered such humiliation. Biting her lip, tears welled up and she burst into loud sobs.
The crying drew the kindergarten teachers, who thought, "What are these living ancestors up to now?" and rushed over in a panic: "Don't cry, don't cry—what happened? Tell teacher."
Having received the system reward, Liu Wenjie felt his head itching—it was growing brains—and was about to celebrate.
But sitting on a rock and looking at the chattering little kids around him, he suddenly sighed.
Pain—far too much pain.
Why was it that when other people reincarnated, they came back in high school or college, used memories of their past life to ride the wave of Bitcoin and the stock market, or gained some ridiculously powerful cheat, and made millions or tens of millions, throwing money like rain!
But what about him? Just as he'd received notice that his old house was being demolished, he'd transmigrated to what seemed like a parallel world where every business trajectory was different, cutting off every possible way to make money.
And on top of that, he'd been reborn as a little kid! He'd activated a ridiculous cheat—the "Lone Handsome God System."
The name was absurd, and the trigger conditions were even more absurd: only when girls offered him an olive branch would the system activate and rewards be obtained through choices.
Heaven, at least give me a proper system! Seriously!
Forget it, let's see what this newly activated panel is first.
Could a tiny setback stop the steps of my success? Not a chance.
