Chapter 4: Life Winner System - Luxury Supreme Customized Edition
Faced with this script-flavored system falling straight into his lap, Xi Shenlian hesitated.
Only for a second.
Then, as he focused on the translucent pop-up hovering in his consciousness, a flood of intuitive understanding flowed into his mind. He didn't know how he knew, just that he suddenly did—as if someone had injected the system's operation manual straight into his head.
[Enter system panel: Yes/No]
He mentally selected [Yes].
A sophisticated, digital panel instantly unfolded before his eyes.
[System Model: Life Winner System – Luxury Supreme Customized Edition] (Origin: Crimson Heaven - Fallen Intelligent Council - Magical Secret Realm. Serial No: First Technical Department - Supreme Secret Case No. 666,666)
[Character Panel Interface: Expandable]
[Basic Settings Interface: Expandable]
[Manual Service Hotline: Available for Connection]
"This is really… next level."
He couldn't help but mutter in awe.
Then, for absolutely no reason, he solemnly bowed toward the system panel.
"Production address? Serial number? A customer service hotline? This thing has everything."
Curious, he tapped on the [Basic Settings Interface], revealing a new list of options:
[Intelligent AI: Not enabled – Type customizable]
[System Interface BGM: Not enabled – Songs customizable]
[Background Patterns & Icon Settings]
…And many more.
"The interface freedom is insane."
He blinked, then muttered, "Wait. There's background music?"
The sheer level of detail made him feel like he'd just unboxed a top-of-the-line alien supercomputer.
Still, his attention kept drifting back to the [Manual Service Hotline]. There was something eerily familiar about it—a strange sense of déjà vu.
After a moment's thought, he chose to connect.
In an instant, his consciousness was whisked away.
Stars surrounded him. A galaxy of glowing symbols floated in the darkness. Before him appeared an old-fashioned black cell phone, hovering mid-call.
He reached out and grasped it.
A mechanical yet oddly flattering voice came through.
"Hello, dear user. How can I help you today?"
"…Uh, I just want to ask—where did this system come from?"
The question slipped out instinctively. After all, in most stories, this kind of plug-in only revealed its origin halfway through. Not in Chapter 4.
But the reply came without hesitation:
"We generally ship our customized products directly to the target's future coordinates. As for how they reach you—we don't track customer-to-customer delivery logistics."
Xi Shenlian narrowed his eyes.
That answer… felt way too familiar. Oh. Right.
The classic pass-the-buck response.
"…Fine."
He fired off a few more questions—most of them random.
Was the system usage free?
Absolutely. As a super VIP user of the Luxury Supreme Customized Edition, he had lifetime after-sales support.
This included updates, maintenance, even feature expansions.
He asked who customized it.
The representative responded with a flood of praise for the mysterious figure known only as [The Crimson King].
Apparently, a very impressive individual. So impressive, in fact, that the hotline agent spent a full three minutes listing adjectives before even mentioning the name.
Still, they answered everything patiently, with a service attitude so professional it almost felt like they were worshipping him.
Eventually:
"We wish you a happy life!"
The call ended. The starry sky vanished. Xi Shenlian stood in silence.
Question marks floated quietly through his mind.
He hadn't really learned anything about why the system came to him. Or what the Crimson King's true intentions were.
But he did know one thing:
He'd made a profit.
"…This is basically someone forcing a wallet into your pocket and begging you to spend it."
After just a few seconds of thought, Xi Shenlian reached a solid conclusion:
Everything was already in his hands.
He wasn't losing anything.
Why hesitate?
As the saying goes: If you can't figure it out—don't. Just do it!
Fear the unknown? No way. You've got to be bold enough to try!
And worst-case scenario?
Just keep going until it works out!
If he played fast and loose enough, maybe the conspiracy couldn't catch him anyway!
"Alright. I'm stable."
Feeling refreshed, he raised his head.
"System!!" he shouted, even though he didn't need to. "Open the character panel for me—I want to see my role!!"
As soon as the words fell, the interface opened instantly—
Complete with a cheery voiceover:
"Welcome to the easy mode! We wish you a life of simple joy and zero stress~"
"Life Winner System - Luxury Supreme Customized Edition, at your service~"
Now that was professional.

Xi Shenlian blinked.
He couldn't help it.
