Chapter 1: Taotie System
"Alan! Wake up!"
The cool touch on the forehead.
The girl's call in my ear.
Wake him up from his slumber.
What came into view was a pretty face that showed concern.
The girl in an apron was wiping his sweat with a wet towel in her hand.
"Sister..." the boy said subconsciously.
"Huh?" The girl looked surprised. "You kid! Usually you just call me by my name! It feels weird that you are so polite all of a sudden!"
The boy pursed his lips and avoided Kelly's gaze.
To be precise, he is not Kelly's brother Allen Panthers, but a soul traveler from Earth.
When Allen was in a coma and on the verge of death, the soul of the time traveler took over his body and merged with the original owner's memories. Only then did Allen realize that he was living in a fantasy world of swords and magic.
"When I came upstairs, I saw you sleeping on the floor. You were sweating and looked ugly. What's wrong with you?" asked my sister.
"I felt a little dizzy, but I'm feeling much better now."
"Did you eat something unclean?"
"No..." The boy suddenly thought of something, "I went to the circus to watch a show this afternoon. I ate the candy given by the clown, and on the way back I felt dizzy."
In Allen's original memory, in addition to feeling dizzy, he also felt weak all over and short of breath. He insisted on climbing up the stairs and then fainted on the floor.
Judging from the symptoms, it is most likely poisoning.
"I told you long ago not to eat anything you want, you idiot! Sooner or later you will die from your gluttony!"
Kelly scolded her brother while wrung out the wet towel and wiped his face. She didn't feel relieved until her brother's complexion improved.
"I have to go downstairs to help in the kitchen. You take a rest first. If you are okay, come down to eat."
"OK."
Watching his sister go downstairs, the boy took out a candy wrapper from his pocket, opened it, and carefully fanned it towards himself, letting the air flow blow away the remaining candy scent on the wrapper.
He first smelled a faint sweet fragrance.
Then, a strange prompt sound suddenly appeared in my mind!
“Ding Di——”
"Level 2 poison detected!"
"Insufficient samples, unable to identify!"
What happened?!
Alan was startled and looked around warily.
There were no computers, mobile phones, or devices capable of producing electronic synthesized sounds nearby. Besides, in this fantasy world of swords and magic, such sophisticated instruments should not exist at all.
So the question is, what on earth is that reminder sound that just echoed in my mind? !
As if in response to his question, a glowing screen slowly unfolded in front of him. It looked like the interface of a VR game, with several lines of text listed on it.
After calming down his excitement a little, Alan was immediately attracted by the words.
——Taotie System——
Status: Slightly poisoned (weak)
Attributes: 15 physique, 15 agility, 18 spirit
Potential: 0 points
Special Abilities: Pathogen and Toxin Resistance (Level 1)
Bloodline: Human (nearly pure blood), Ogre (about 5%), Beastman (≤ 1%), Other (negligible)
Ingredients: Not yet available
…
While reading, a large amount of information emerged in Allen's mind, which were the explanations given by the "Taotie System" to each piece of data.
The Taotie system seems to be a special device bound to one's own soul. One of its most important functions is to digitize one's own status, just like a character in a game.
For example, the "attribute" data is a comprehensive score of physical and mental strength.
The reference standard is the adult humans in this world, where the average attribute of each attribute is 10 points.
The original owner of this body, Alan Panthers, was only twelve years old, but his physique and agility were higher than most adults, which was probably related to his special bloodline.
Spiritual attributes are a comprehensive reflection of factors such as intelligence, perception, mentality and willpower.
18 points of spiritual attributes is almost the upper limit that ordinary humans can achieve!
Alan didn't originally have such high spiritual attributes, mainly because he merged with the soul of an adult from another world, which was equivalent to living one more life.
There is another statistic called "Potential". The current point is 0 and I don't know what it is used for.
As for the "poisoned" state...
Alan tried hard to recall the memories of this body.
Today is Sunday, and in the afternoon he and a group of classmates went to the outskirts of the city to watch a circus performance.
The circus ticket seller said that customers under the age of sixteen can enter a lottery when buying tickets.
Alan won the third prize and received a beautifully wrapped lollipop.
At that time, he felt that he was lucky as he watched the circus performance with a sweet lollipop in his mouth.
However, after eating the candy, I felt dizzy for some reason and couldn't help yawning.
He didn't feel well and left the circus in a hurry.
He struggled to get home, but fell to the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
Judging from the prompts of the "Taotie System", the so-called "lottery" is just a cover to deliver candies laced with drugs to children.
From this we can see that the circus was likely to also be a child abductor. Fortunately, I escaped back in time!
Before traveling through time, Allen underwent general anesthesia and signed a risk disclosure form.
Of course we know that improper use of anesthetic drugs may have fatal consequences!
Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but feel a little scared.
This near-abduction experience was a blessing in disguise for him.
Not only did he awaken the "Taotie System", but he also gained a special ability called "virus resistance ".
As the name suggests, it is resistance to harmful substances such as germs and toxins.
Alan now has level 1 virus resistance, is immune to level 1 viruses, and is more resistant to higher-level viruses.
In addition, the system also gives the following tips:
Contact with various viruses can promote the growth of virus resistance. When it accumulates to a certain stage, the resistance level can be improved!
"Wow! Isn't this just like accumulating experience points to level up in a game?"
Alan rubbed his hands excitedly.
Suddenly I thought of something and quickly ran to the mirror.
The mirror reflected the figure of a young man with beautiful short flaxen hair.
The color has returned to his childish face.
The original owner of this body was not very old, but had grown very quickly.
He is only twelve years old, but he is already 1.75 meters tall.
The sturdy body with broad shoulders and strong waist, the face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the clear eyes like a baby, all exude the temperament of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
Or to put it more bluntly, he doesn't look very smart...
This is better.
The boy in the mirror raised the corners of his lips slightly.
As a time traveler, he really likes the illusion created by this body, which can make people let down their guard.
If you want to become a qualified old bitch, the prerequisite is that you cannot let others overestimate your intelligence level.
Seeing this honest and simple face, no one would have thought that he possessed a spiritual attribute as high as 18 points.
Hidden within the body of this simple boy is the soul of an adult from another world.
More importantly, the system interface is not reflected in the mirror!
Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he expected, no one except himself was aware of the existence of the "Taotie System".
At this time, sister Kelly's energetic shouts came from the restaurant downstairs.
"Alan! If you don't come downstairs to eat, I'll beat you up!"
