……

Jiangcheng.

Gu Shanhe sat in front of his computer desk, holding the last cup of braised beef noodles.

Five yuan—this was the dinner he had exchanged all his wealth for.

In the twenty-square-meter room, apart from a creaking wooden bed and a set of computer desk and chair, there were only moldy cardboard boxes in the corner. The window glass had a crack, taped up with transparent tape, and it rattled whenever the wind blew.

He picked up a chopstick of noodles, but before he could put them into his mouth—

His phone rang.

Three characters jumped on the screen: Liu Ruyan.

Gu Shanhe was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put down his fork, wiped his hands on his pants, and answered the call.

"Hello, Ruyan..."

"Gu Shanhe, let's break up."

The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and piercing, without a hint of hesitation.

The plastic fork in Gu Shanhe's hand dropped into the noodle cup, and hot soup splashed onto the back of his hand, but he couldn't feel the pain.

"Ruyan, you, what did you say?"

"Why pretend you don't understand?" Liu Ruyan's tone suddenly turned sharp. "I said break up! You, a loser who has been unemployed for three months and can't even pay the rent, what face do you have to keep pestering me?"

Gu Shanhe opened his mouth, his throat feeling as if it were blocked by something.

He was the first college student to come out of Qinghe Village. The whole village had pooled money to support him through the computer science department. After graduation, he joined the Jianghai Group as a senior programmer, with a monthly salary of eight thousand plus bonuses, taking home nearly ten thousand every month.

Of this money, he kept five hundred for food and gave the rest to Liu Ruyan.

LV bags, SK-II facial treatment essence, Gucci scarves, Givenchy sheepskin lipstick...

Every exquisite photo in Liu Ruyan's Moments was exchanged for the dark circles under his eyes from working overtime until three in the morning.

After working for two and a half years, his bank account balance was only 0.3 yuan.

"Liu Ruyan, I chased you for three whole years, and we've been together for two..."

"Enough!" Liu Ruyan interrupted him impatiently.

"To tell you the truth, I've already been with Deputy Manager Wang for a long time. Did you really think a poor kid from the countryside like you was worthy of me, the school beauty? If it weren't for your monthly salary, who would bother with you?"

Gu Shanhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Deputy Manager Wang, Wang Jianming, his immediate superior.

Three months ago, the company suddenly fired him on the grounds of "optimizing personnel structure."

He had always been unable to figure out why he, whose performance was clearly in the top three of the department, had become the one to be optimized.

So that was it.

"By the way, about that job of yours," Liu Ruyan laughed, her laughter full of mockery, "it was arranged by Brother Wang. Who told you not to have eyes and block his path?"

Gu Shanhe stood up abruptly, his knee hitting the corner of the bed, making him gasp in pain.

But he couldn't care about that; the hand holding the phone had veins bulging:

"Liu Ruyan, you pair of dog-man and dog-woman—"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The call was hung up.

Gu Shanhe stood where he was, his whole body trembling.

He opened WeChat and typed: "Liu Ruyan, sooner or later I will make you two dog-man and dog-woman regret this!"

Send.

A red exclamation mark.

He opened QQ, opened Alipay, opened every software that could contact Liu Ruyan.

All red exclamation marks.

Like a fool, he tapped send on the phone screen over and over again, seeing that glaring red exclamation mark over and over again.

Finally, he stopped.

The rented room was terrifyingly quiet, with only the sound of the wind leaking through the window crack and his own heavy breathing.

Gu Shanhe slowly squatted down, picked up the noodle fork that had fallen on the floor, wiped it on his pant leg, and continued to eat the noodles.

The noodles were already soggy, salty, and greasy.

As he chewed, his eyes gradually turned red.

Three years of pursuit, two years of dating.

He had poured out all the sincerity a country boy could offer, only to be treated as an ATM, schemed against, and played like a fool.

"Damn it."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He smashed the noodle cup hard on the ground, and the soup splashed onto his pant leg.

Then he slumped into the chair, looking up at the cracked wall skin on the ceiling.

On the table sat that old computer, the screen gray and covered with a layer of dust.

This was what his parents had bought him when he was in college by borrowing money from the whole village. Four thousand three hundred yuan, and his father had even carried cement for half a year to pay it back.

He couldn't bear to sell this computer now.

If he sold it, he would really have nothing left.

Gu Shanhe closed his eyes.

His mind was a mess; one moment it was Liu Ruyan's words about breaking up, the next it was Wang Jianming's hypocritical face.

He just slumped there, not knowing how much time had passed.

Suddenly—

【Ding!】

A cold mechanical sound exploded in his mind.

Gu Shanhe opened his eyes abruptly and looked around:

"Who? Who is talking?"

【Detected a character matching the system's binding target, Myriad Worlds Sky Screen System is binding...】

【Binding successful!】

Gu Shanhe was stunned.

The next second, a semi-transparent blue panel appeared out of thin air in front of him, displaying:

【Host: Gu Shanhe】

【Age: 24】

【Physique: 6】

【Strength: 8】

【Speed: 5】

【Gold Finger: Myriad Worlds Sky Screen System (Bound)】

【Emotion Value: 0】

Gu Shanhe rubbed his eyes hard.

This is... a system panel?!

He pinched his thigh.

It hurt.

The panel was still there.

"Sys... system?" His voice was trembling.

【I'm here.】

The system's mechanical voice rang out.

"Are you really a system? The kind of system in novels?"

【What else? Have you ever seen a hallucination that can talk to you?】

Gu Shanhe was stunned for three seconds.

Then he bounced off the chair, hit his head on the low ceiling, grimaced in pain, but covered his head and giggled.

"System! I've bound a system! Hahahaha—"

【Don't be happy too soon, listen to me finish first.】

Gu Shanhe hurriedly covered his mouth and nodded desperately.

【This system is called the "Myriad Worlds Sky Screen System." Simply put, you are responsible for editing videos and posting them to the exclusive account provided by the system. The content of the videos is unlimited; it can be historical popular science, a review of emperors and famous generals, technology displays, food preparation, anything is fine.】

【For every video posted, the system will issue rewards based on the quality of the video. Rewards include but are not limited to: cash, real estate, enterprises, technology, lifespan... there is nothing the host can't think of that the system can't reward.】

Gu Shanhe's eyes widened.

【But that's not the point.】

The system paused,

【The point is, every video you post will be synchronously projected by the system to all dynasties—from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, a huge sky screen will appear in the sky of all planes, playing your videos.】

【Those ancients watching your videos will have emotional fluctuations. Whether it's shock, worship, anger, or fear, as long as emotions are generated, you can obtain emotion value.】

【Emotion value can be used to exchange for items in the system mall. Note that these items can only be projected to ancient times for designated ancients to use. It can be life-saving medicine, a lethal weapon, a natural disaster warning, or technical blueprints—it all depends on your mood.】

Gu Shanhe stood there, not speaking for a long time.

"So," he swallowed his saliva, "can I order Qin Shi Huang now? Or can I make Li Shimin work for me?" ===== CHAPTER 2 =====
