Apocalyptic Charity Plan [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1
After attending the convention, Jiang Fanxing returned home exhausted. He removed his wig, wiped away his makeup, changed out of the Haikyuu!! Shoyo Hinata volleyball uniform he had been wearing, and stepped into the shower.
Certain experiences at this convention had deeply displeased him, leading him to feel disgusted even by the Hinata Shoyo outfit. He threw the orange wig and the volleyball uniform straight into the trash.
Out of sight, out of mind.
After a simple lunch, he turned off his phone and got into bed to rest.
Outside the window, the bright blue and white sky began to distort, as if a plastic sheet were melting. Countless intersecting lines appeared abruptly in the heavens. With several crisp tearing sounds, the sky split open.
Countless cracks, like twisted black snakes, gradually covered the sky, even spreading to the land and the ocean. It was a terrifying sight. Strangely, this horrific scene did not attract anyone’s attention.
Within the cracked sky, a glimmer of white appeared. It descended at an incredible speed, like a meteor piercing the firmament, before coming to a complete stop in midair. After a few seconds, as if it had decided on a target, the white light shot toward a high-rise building and vanished.
At that same moment, Jiang Fanxing was in a dream, being chased by a frantic boy from the convention who had knelt before him screaming, “Shoyo Hinata, I am your dog, please take me away!” and had even tried to pull off his pants. In the dream, the boy had no sense of sportsmanship; when he could not catch Jiang Fanxing, he picked up a stone and threw it, hitting Jiang Fanxing right between the eyebrows.
He felt panicked for a moment, but upon realizing it did not hurt at all, he immediately understood he was dreaming. Thinking of the annoyance he had felt that morning, he equipped himself with a pair of gloves and headed toward the boy with a sinister intent.
“Ding! Host detected. Binding in progress.”
“Data loading: 10%, 20%, 50%, 100%!”
“Thank you for your affirmation, Host. The Biological Replacement System is at your service. If you have any questions, feel free to call the system.”
However, Jiang Fanxing, still busy dealing with the boy in his dream, remained completely oblivious to this.
“Ahhhh!”
A shrill, piercing scream jolted Jiang Fanxing awake. He bolted upright in bed, his gaze sharpening instantly as he grew alert. He scrambled out of bed, too frantic to put on his slippers, and pulled back the curtains. The next second, he froze.
In his field of vision, the sky and even the earth were cracked like a spiderweb. Beneath the fissures, countless fires and black smoke appeared in the distance. As his gaze shifted closer, he saw the dilapidated building across from his. The twenty-story commercial tower was missing half of its structure, and a massive crack ran through it, pointing straight toward the ground.
The ground was littered with wreckage and severed limbs, accompanied by the screams and wails of human beings. Jiang Fanxing was stunned, his heart turning cold.
“The apocalypse is here?”
Is this real? Or am I still not awake?
“Ding! Host, everything you see is real. If you don’t believe it, you can slap yourself once.”
Jiang Fanxing: !
Jiang Fanxing suspected he was still dreaming. Just as he was about to lie back down to wake up from this absurd dream, that arrogant electronic voice appeared in his head once more.
“Host, do not flee. Your world is truly in the apocalypse. The apocalypse is also a rebirth; this is a golden opportunity to perform good deeds. Host, work hard to perform good deeds to earn exchange coins and replace organelles, tissues, organs, and other biological structures. Good luck, I believe in you!”
“Good deeds? Replacing organelles, tissues, and organs?”
Jiang Fanxing was so angry he almost laughed. He pulled the curtains shut, blocking out the cruelty outside as if the apocalypse had not happened. When others did good deeds, they got money or banners; at least it was something honorable. When it came to him doing good deeds, he did not care about a few coins or banners, but the end result was replacing organelles or organs?
Are you kidding me? The apocalypse is here, and this stuff is useful? What, after someone steals my kidney, I just install a new one? The end of the world is here, and people are dying; who cares about kidneys? Useless junk.
Jiang Fanxing’s eyes filled with disdain. He walked to the bed, put on his slippers, turned his phone back on, and sat on the sofa.
“System, right? Go find someone else. I am a bad guy; I do not know how to do good deeds.”
Before the apocalypse, people’s goodwill had been worn away by merchants, scammers, and social injustice. People were afraid to even help someone on the street for fear of being extorted. Now that the apocalypse was here, shouldn’t he be looking out for himself instead of doing good deeds? Was he tired of living? Furthermore, this system’s functions were garbage; those biological tissues held no appeal for him. Whoever wanted this thankless job could take it; he was not interested.
He suddenly remembered something, put down his phone, which was busy loading messages, and felt slightly annoyed. “Do you not know how to greet people before moving into their brains?”
The thought of a strange object hidden in his head made Jiang Fanxing feel incredibly uncomfortable. He wanted nothing more than to split his skull open, dig the system out, and give his brain a thorough cleaning.
His voice grew cold: “Get out of my head, now!”
The system did not mind Jiang Fanxing’s rejection. Its electronic voice was full of cheer: “Host, the system is already bound to you. Unless the host dies, it cannot be unbound. If you wish to unbind, I suggest you try dying first. By the way, you do not need to speak out loud; just think it in your brain, and the system can hear you.”
Jiang Fanxing had not heard such words in many years. His heart sank, his fists clenched, and a flash of ruthlessness passed through his eyes.
Dirty thing!
The system knew he was angry. Its cold electronic voice was full of apologies: “Dear Host, I apologize. The system spoke incorrectly. I hope you will not hold a grudge against a small-minded entity and will forgive the system.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the system quickly changed the subject, its voice full of temptation: “Host, this system is incredibly useful! As long as you work hard to perform good deeds, you can exchange them for anything belonging to any Earth organism, including extinct animals! Dear, do you want a dinosaur claw? I guarantee you will become the most dazzling creature in the cosplay world!”
It had to be said, this hook caught Jiang Fanxing. Since he knew he could not do anything about the system for now, he suppressed his anger and considered the feasibility of its words. He had no hobbies other than cosplay. Manga was not infinite, and the number of characters was finite. By now, he had cosplayed every character he could, to the point where there was no one left to portray. Aside from Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede from Slam Dunk, whom he had cosplayed many times, he had only attempted Shoyo Hinata for the second time that morning, and the experience was best left unsaid.
Because of that crazy boy, he no longer wanted to see any news related to Hinata. Now that the apocalypse had arrived, it was unclear whether the manga, clothing, and wig industries could continue. He did not know if he would ever be able to cosplay as he pleased again. Cosplay was the love of his life; he was unwilling to give it up just like that. Moreover, after more than a decade of cosplay, simple character portrayals could no longer satisfy him. He needed newer, more interesting experiences.
This system had arrived at the perfect time. Cosplaying an extinct dinosaur sounded incredibly interesting.
An uncontrollable tremor started in his heart, spreading through his blood to his brain. Jiang Fanxing was exhilarated, his eyes sparkling with strange light. “Fine, I agree.”
The next second, the sound of grand fireworks popping and cracking resonated in his brain, and a red rain seemed to appear before his eyes. Soon, red, shattered firecracker paper filled his entire mind, and his nose could even smell the scent of cyber-gunpowder.
Jiang Fanxing: …
He was stiff all over, gritting his teeth as he roared in his mind: “Get out! Do not do that in my head!”
The system, fearing he would back out, apologized repeatedly: “I am sorry, Host.”
It then quickly changed the subject: “Host, let me introduce the system’s specific functions.
First: The host can earn a certain amount of Merit by doing good deeds. The more good deeds done and the more influential they are, the more Merit is earned, with the exact value determined by the system.
Second: Merit can be used to replace the biological structure of any proven organism on Earth, including organelles, cells, tissues, organs, systems, and limbs. The more complex the structure, the more Merit is required, with the exact value determined by the system.
Third: When accumulated Merit reaches a certain value, the system can be upgraded.
Below are the precautions, please read them carefully:
First: The host must enter a rift to replace biological structures. The duration is 24 hours. Re-replacing the same biological structure will no longer consume Merit, and it can be used in reality.
Second: The system is divided into six levels based on biological structure: organelles, cells, tissues, organs, systems, and limbs. You can skip levels when upgrading, but you cannot replace structures beyond your current level.
Third: Replacing biological structures may result in certain side effects, but they are not life-threatening and can be ignored.”
The precautions appeared directly in Jiang Fanxing’s mind. Since the text for the third point was too small, he did not notice it at all.
Knowing that doing good deeds required entering those terrifying rifts, and that he had to upgrade the system to redeem the dinosaur claw, Jiang Fanxing felt it was troublesome and wanted to quit. But since he had already made up his mind, he would not give up easily. He began to ask more specific questions: “System, is the amount of exchange coins required for each upgrade the same?”
System: “No, Host.”
Jiang Fanxing did not wait for a detailed introduction from the system, asking helplessly: “Then tell me exactly how many coins are needed for each upgrade.”
System: “This question is locked. Please visit a rift world to ask again.”
?
Is that such a hard question to answer?
Jiang Fanxing rolled his eyes in his mind and continued to ask: “If I enter a rift world, can I come out at any time?”
System: “This question is locked. Please visit a rift world to ask again.”
Jiang Fanxing: …
