Chapter 1: Gu Sheng transmigrated and was bound to a gacha machine...
Gu Sheng transmigrated and became bound to a erratic system.
Gu Sheng didn't really feel anything about the time travel, because this new world was no different from his original one.
The world lacks the concept of nations; instead, it consists of independent cities and city alliances.
According to Gu Sheng, while some cities are not very safe, most cities are safe, and this is a relatively peaceful era.
However, these minor details did not affect Gu Sheng, since his main area of activity was the street where he lived.
Gu Sheng has adapted well to this world.
However, Gu Sheng found the erratic system very difficult to use.
Gu Sheng suspected that this system was not a complete system, but rather a function that had been stripped from other systems.
This system has no intelligence and cannot communicate. Apart from announcing its functions at the very beginning, it has never uttered a sound since.
No matter how Gu Sheng called to it, it never responded.
This system doesn't issue tasks; it simply gives Gu Xiu a new identity every so often.
These identities had no impact on Gu Sheng, but because they had so little impact, he was sometimes unaware that he had an additional identity.
But it's different for others.
After the new identity emerges, some people in this world will have an additional memory of Gu Sheng.
Of course, for them, this memory did not appear suddenly, but actually happened.
However, these are not major problems. The biggest problem is that those who are related to Gu Sheng's new identity will have new memories, but Gu Sheng will not.
Gu Sheng had no idea what kind of person he was in their memories.
Moreover, the timing of the new identity is completely unpredictable. Sometimes Gu Sheng is given a new identity every day, and sometimes it takes half a year.
Now, Gu Sheng has been in this world for a year, and he already has three identities.
Gu Sheng's first identity is the long-lost youngest son of a wealthy businessman surnamed Gu.
That was Gu Sheng's first day in this world. He had no identity and no money. Just as he was thinking about how to survive, a car stopped in front of him.
A group of men in black got out of the car and, without giving Gu Sheng a chance to explain, dragged him into the car and took him to the hospital. After some commotion, Gu Sheng stood in front of an elderly man on the verge of death with a paternity test result in his hand.
With tears in his eyes, the old man said that Gu Sheng was his long-lost youngest son. He then made a will on the spot, leaving Gu Sheng 5% of the company shares, a house, and three million yuan in cash.
Then the old man passed away.
Afterwards, Gu Sheng was dressed in mourning clothes and taken to the funeral. He was in a daze throughout the whole process, and this daze lasted for a month.
By the time Gu Sheng recovered from the series of unexpected events, everything was already set in stone.
Later, Gu Sheng went to the company and met the current head of the Gu family, a young man a few years older than Gu Sheng, named Gu Hecheng.
When faced with a man older than himself, Gu Sheng instinctively thought that he was his older brother in this world. As soon as he called out the word "brother," the surroundings instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at Gu Sheng in surprise.
Later, Gu Sheng learned that the old man was Gu Hecheng's grandfather, which meant that Gu Hecheng was Gu Sheng's nephew.
Although he gained a new nephew, Gu Sheng didn't feel anything special. He only interacted with Gu Hecheng this once, and never saw him again afterward.
At this point, Gu Sheng still didn't realize something was wrong; he simply assumed that the system had created this identity for his convenience.
He has a house, money, and annual dividends, so he doesn't need to work at all.
Life shouldn't be too comfortable.
However, Gu Sheng's peaceful life did not last long, because the system suddenly gave him another identity.
One morning, Gu Sheng heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, two strangers stood outside: a young man and a middle-aged woman, both holding a brocade banner.
While Gu Sheng was still in a daze, the middle-aged woman suddenly knelt down, crying and thanking Gu Sheng for saving her son.
The young man thanked him gratefully.
Gu Sheng had no idea what had happened. He could only help the woman up and then lead the two of them into the living room.
During their conversation, Gu Sheng learned that he had a new identity: "a passerby who intervened to help others."
According to the two men, a few days ago, the young man accidentally fell into the water, and Gu Sheng jumped in to save him.
Although the two spoke with great emotion, Gu Sheng knew that she had never saved the man.
He felt embarrassed to receive thanks from the two people for something he hadn't done.
Gu Sheng tried to explain to the two that he had not saved the man, and even if someone had saved the man, that person would definitely not be Gu Sheng.
However, to Gu Sheng's surprise, the man actually took out his phone and showed it to him.
The phone contained a photo of Gu Sheng standing on the podium, holding a flag commemorating his act of bravery and wearing a wreath around his neck.
Although Gu Sheng was certain that he had never accepted any award, the person in the photo was indeed Gu Sheng.
However, Gu Sheng still insisted that she had never saved a man.
Then the man opened a video website and showed Gu Sheng many videos.
These videos captured Gu Sheng's rescue from the water from different angles. Some were close-up and very clear, showing that the person in the video was indeed Gu Sheng.
Gu Shengren was completely numb. He had never gone into the water to save anyone before, and he couldn't even swim.
However, faced with irrefutable evidence, even if Gu Sheng hadn't done anything, he had no choice but to admit it.
Gu Sheng declined the cash and gifts offered by the mother and son, keeping only the banner.
At this point, Gu Sheng began to sense that something was wrong, but the system still ignored him no matter how he called it.
Gu Sheng had no choice but to accept his new identity.
At least this identity won't affect Gu Sheng's normal life.
However, often, the things you least want to happen are the things that happen.
Now, Gu Sheng has acquired a third identity.
Gu Sheng sat on the living room sofa, staring expressionlessly at the bearded man in front of him, surrounded by a group of masked men armed with guns.
Although Gu Sheng appeared calm on the surface, he was actually performing the world-famous painting "The Scream" in his heart.
This group of people suddenly broke into Gu Sheng's house.
They kept Gu Sheng confined to the living room, and then fell into silence.
Gu Sheng didn't know any of these people.
Gu Sheng's first reaction was, did his nephew want to kill him to silence him because he had taken company shares?
After a long silence, the bearded man finally spoke, looking at Gu Sheng coldly and saying, "Mr. Gu, it's been a long time."
Gu Sheng really wanted to say, "We've never met before, okay?" but he couldn't utter a sound.
The bloodiest thing Gu Sheng had ever seen in his past and present lives was killing chickens.
Suddenly faced with so many armed men, Gu Sheng felt his mind go blank; he had no idea what he was saying or doing.
He now acts entirely on instinct.
Faced with Gu Sheng's silence, the man seemed a little angry. He kicked the coffee table: "Heh, as expected of Mr. Gu. After all, you are a person who remains calm and composed even after destroying our headquarters. This little scene will naturally not scare you."
Gu Sheng was already mentally reeling from looking at his phone like an old man. Who destroyed their headquarters? They must have come to the wrong person.
Just when Gu Sheng was still clinging to the illusion that the other party had contacted the wrong person.
The man took out his tablet and played a video of Gu Sheng saving people.
It's that video that Gu Sheng never did, but it's all over the internet.
Gu Sheng watched the video, then looked at the man, still not saying anything, but his expression seemed to say, "So what?"
Could it be that he saved the wrong person?
But when the mother and son arrived, Gu Sheng saw that the young man was just an ordinary person and didn't seem like someone who would offend these people.
The man chuckled and said, "Mr. Gu has disappeared since that incident. I've been looking for you with great difficulty. You hid very well, but I never expected that you would be exposed in the end because of saving someone."
The man shifted his posture and continued, "Mr. Gu is truly a good person."
Have you been looking for a long time?
That person probably isn't one of my nephew's people.
The person who suddenly appeared and claimed to have known Gu Sheng for a long time could only have been arranged by the system.
So what identity did the system assign him?
Seeing the aggressive approach of the other party, Gu Sheng absolutely could not admit to them, regardless of their identity.
Gu Sheng felt his throat was a little dry, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I've never seen you before, and I don't know what this headquarters you're talking about is."
Hearing the man call out his name, Gu Sheng completely gave up his illusions; this was someone who had come for him.
However, Gu Sheng didn't understand what he had said that had angered the other person.
Gu Sheng immediately stopped being confused, because the man explained the reason.
"I trusted you so much, and what happened? You turned out to be a mole planted by the sheriff. Gu Sheng, you're very good. You fooled us, me, and the boss."
The man stood up and walked up to Gu Sheng: "The boss even entrusted you with such an important task as dealing with traitors. You know, the boss only entrusts this kind of thing to the person he trusts most."
Gu Sheng looked up at the man and thought to himself, "Wow, he's so tall. That fist, the size of a sandbag, could probably take on two of me."
The man patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder: "You took advantage of our trust to get information about our base, and in the end you razed our headquarters to the ground. The boss is dead," he said, leaning closer to Gu Sheng and staring into his eyes, "You deserve to die too."
The man increased the pressure on his hands, squeezing Gu Sheng's shoulder until it ached.
Just then, Gu Sheng's hand suddenly moved on its own. He grabbed the man's hand that was on his body and twisted it to the left before the man could react, deforming the entire wrist.
Upon seeing Gu Sheng's actions, those surrounding him instinctively gripped their guns, making clicking sounds.
However, no one dared to pull the trigger.
Their eyes were filled with tension and fear, as if the gun was in Gu Sheng's hand rather than theirs.
Gu Sheng was startled; his hand had moved on its own.
However, looking at the reactions of the people around him, Gu Sheng was speechless. Why were they the ones who were nervous? What kind of image did they have of him?
Gu Sheng glanced at his hands without showing any emotion. Could it be that he not only had a new identity, but also the abilities of that new identity?
Does that mean he can swim too?
Gu Sheng's mind was wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, but outwardly, she remained silent as she looked at the man.
