Jilin stood on a bustling street surrounded by towering skyscrapers and heavy traffic.
He looked down at his attire—a stylish set of casual clothes that blended in perfectly with the modern city. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This system is really considerate; it even helped me change my clothes."
Right at that moment, the voice of the system rang out in his mind once again: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrating into the Magic Phone plane. Please check and review the relevant mission information."
Jilin opened the system panel and saw the following displayed:
Name: Jilin
Identity: You Suowei's cousin
Ability: One-time universal optimization and duplication
Mission: Obtain the longevity pill
He closed his eyes to sense the powerful internal energy within his body, finding that it had not been discounted in the slightest due to being in a different world.
Subsequently, Jilin began to carefully observe his surroundings. Before long, he figured out his current location.
Not far away on the road, a familiar scene was playing out—a beggar was running desperately after a young man carrying a backpack.
Jilin looked closely and couldn't help grinning. "Well, well, if it isn't the Yellow Eyebrow Great King and Lu Xiaoqian!" he muttered to himself.
"It looks like the time point of this transmigration is right at the very beginning of the plot," Jilin said to himself.
Along the street, pedestrians stopped one after another, watching the absurd and comical chase with great interest. A young fellow, terror-stricken, was running wildly while glancing back from time to time; closely following him was a ragged, disheveled freak who pursued him relentlessly while shouting something at the top of his lungs.
Jilin followed leisurely behind them, maintaining a certain distance so as not to be shaken off. Following Lu Xiaoqian all the way, Jilin arrived at a bus stop.
While waiting at the bus stop, Jilin smoothly lifted five yuan from a guy standing nearby in a pink shirt. His movements were extremely swift and practiced.
The person beside him had no idea at all that his money had vanished into thin air, remaining completely oblivious.
Just then, the bus slowly started moving, emitting a deep roar. The Yellow Eyebrow Great King was ruthlessly left far behind.
After boarding the bus, Jilin looked around and spotted not only Chuchu, but also the personality philosopher Wang Tianba trio.
The bus was packed, and Jilin chose to stand directly behind Lu Xiaoqian. He noticed that Lu Xiaoqian was wearing a backpack whose zipper wasn't fully closed, revealing a crystal doll inside.
A thought stirred in Jilin's mind, and he once again deployed his imperceptible art of pilfering, effortlessly taking the crystal doll out of Lu Xiaoqian's bag. Immediately afterward, he hurriedly used his check-in ability to duplicate the crystal doll.
When he sensed that an identical crystal doll had appeared in the System Space, he felt completely at ease putting the original crystal doll back into Lu Xiaoqian's backpack.
Because Jilin had been standing right behind Lu Xiaoqian, Wang Tianba and his crew hadn't paid any attention to Lu Xiaoqian. Instead, their gaze fell entirely upon the guy from whom Jilin had just stolen the five yuan.
You had to hand it to this brother—he was truly unlucky. Coming out for a trip meant losing both his money and his phone.
With the Magic Phone plane's most crucial piece of black technology securely in hand, Jilin got off at the next stop.
Humming a tune and in exceptionally high spirits, Jilin found an empty park and took out the duplicated crystal doll.
Jilin pressed the nose of the crystal doll and heard, "System-branded heavens-grade mobile phone Shaniu at your service. Please enter the startup password."
"I love you."
………
Compared to the original, the Shaniu optimized and duplicated by the system not only had no illegal operations, but also recognized only the first person who booted her up as her master. Everything put the master's interests first, and her functions were much more powerful than the original Shaniu's.
Additionally, the duplicated Shaniu had a newly added backup energy function. Whether in human form or phone form, as long as she was exposed to sunlight, she could absorb energy to charge anytime and anywhere, storing any excess energy. When energy levels ran low, she could retrieve the stored energy to replenish herself.
You could practically call her a perpetual motion machine.
Hearing about this feature, Jilin was extremely excited. After all, in the original story, both Taizi and Shaniu had basically experienced running out of battery and shutting down.
The most famous instance of this was You Suowei's eight-year fish.
After changing Shaniu's name to Huan'er, he gently put Huan'er away back into the System Space.
Next, Jilin began considering finding a suitable place to live so he could slowly experience Huan'er's abilities. Pondering this, he walked toward the exit of the park.
Right at that moment, a cry for urgent help reached his ears. He stopped in his tracks and listened carefully for the direction of the sound.
Guided by the sound, he walked over cautiously. When he drew closer, the scene before him made him frown. Two or three thugs were surrounding a young girl, trying to snatch the bag from her hands. The girl was struggling desperately, shouting for help over and over.
Jilin looked closely and discovered that this girl was none other than Chuchu!
He rushed forward without the slightest hesitation. He launched a flying kick, landing a fierce blow squarely on one of the thugs. The thug was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Seeing this, the other thugs drew small knives from their waists and threatened him viciously, "Kid, don't go meddling in other people's business, or you'll be sorry!"
However, Jilin was not cowed by their threats. He looked at them coldly, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes.
A sneer tugged at the corner of Jilin's mouth. Moving with lightning speed, he easily knocked the remaining men to the ground in just a few moves. Just as he was about to tell Chuchu to hurry up and call the police, he suddenly noticed she was staring at him with a lovestruck expression.
Jilin shook his head helplessly, then snapped his fingers a few times to try and grab Chuchu's attention. Finally, Chuchu snapped out of her infatuation, fumbled around to pull out her phone, and dialed the emergency number.
During the wait for the police to arrive, Jilin took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Chuchu, using the opportunity to get acquainted.
Unfortunately, because of Jilin's intervention, the iconic police station scene involving Wang Tianba from the original story never happened.
"Don't use that suspicious gaze of yours to insult my noble character."
Soon, the police arrived at the scene and took everyone back to the police station. At the station, Jilin accompanied Chuchu the entire time while she gave her statement. At that moment, two people rushed in hastily. Jilin looked closely and saw that it was none other than You Suowei and Helan.
The moment Chuchu saw her Sister He, tears immediately burst forth like a broken dam. Sobbing, she flung herself into Helan's arms and poured out her inner grievance.
"Sister He, wahahaha..."
Helan hugged Chuchu tightly with heartache, comforting her in a soft voice, "Alright, alright, don't cry, Chuchu. It's okay now."
Jilin smiled and greeted You Suowei, "Hello, cousin." You Suowei was clearly quite surprised by the scene before him, frowning as he asked, "Jilin, why are you with Chuchu?"
Jilin then gave a detailed account of how he had stepped forward to do a brave deed.
At that moment, Helan turned her gaze toward Jilin, instantly captivated by his handsome appearance. She thought to herself with a sigh, "Wow, this guy is so handsome! I wonder if he's still single?..."
The system's optimized physique, combined with the effects of martial arts training, gave Jilin's current appearance and aura a devastating charm toward many women.
After their statements were completed and everyone left the police station, Helan took the initiative to invite everyone out for a meal to express her gratitude for Jilin's heroic act.
Thus, in a private dining room at a hotel, the four of them ate, drank, and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere. During this process, Jilin shared his recent life status with You Suowei.
According to the identity information provided by the system, You Suowei and his cousin Jilin had been extremely close since childhood, and although their contact had gradually decreased after You Suowei went abroad to study, their bond had never faded.
After the meal, You Suowei warmly invited Jilin to stay at his villa. However, Jilin politely declined the offer, stating that he already had a place to stay and would come bother him another time after a while.
Once everyone else had departed, Jilin carefully took out Huan'er and began the process of transferring functions.
Next, using Huan'er's powerful abilities, he cleverly managed to search out several bank accounts with massive balances whose owners had already passed away.
These accounts had been left unattended, like stones sinking into the sea. Afterwards, he smoothly transferred these huge sums of money into his own account. Finally, Jilin chose a luxury five-star hotel to check into, fully enjoying the comfortable accommodations.
You had to admit that the identity implanted by the system was truly comprehensive; the bank cards, ID card, and other items matching the mission information were all fully provided and placed inside Jilin's System Space. However, such items existed only within the urban plane.
After checking into the presidential suite of the five-star hotel, Jilin also began exploring Huan'er's capabilities.
