Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 2: This system is unreliable.
The rejection command is invalid.

[Emergency protocol activated, forced binding in progress]

[Beep! Binding progress 99%——]

[Binding complete!]

Welcome, host!

[Locking onto a fantasy dimension anchor point, attempting to activate the time travel ability...buzz...]

The system's voice abruptly stopped, replaced by a piercing noise.

Chen Baiyu held her breath.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

He didn't blow it up.

But the system stopped responding.

"...The system?"

He called out tentatively.

silence.

Just when he thought the system was completely broken.

The voice sounded again:

[Fantasy System successfully bound]

You have been transported to a fantasy world.

[Importing the world's mainstream languages, import failed, retrying...]

[Retry failed. Translation function detected as severely compromised. Initiating integration with the local low-level intelligent spirit Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Language function integration successful!]

[Searching for a map of the area surrounding the host.]

Search complete

You are currently located in: The Central Magic Empire

As the system voice fell.

Chen Baiyu subconsciously looked around.

It was still his familiar rented room. It seemed that he hadn't actually traveled to some fantasy world.
Thinking.

Chen Baiyu walked to the window and looked outside. The midday sun shone on the concrete buildings, and steel cars drove back and forth.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to have traveled through time.

Could it be that……

After so many functions were damaged, has the system really gone mad?
Or...

Actually, like Huozi, I live in two worlds at the same time.

There was a long silence.

Confused about the situation, he began to try to understand the changes within himself.

No matter how unreliable it is, it's still a system, so it should be somewhat useful... right?

So soon.

Chen Baiyu discovered that the only remaining functions of this crippled system were a mini-map and a personal panel.

First, there's the mini-map feature.

Chen Baiyu noticed a small, holographic-like map appearing in the upper left corner of her field of vision.

With a thought, one can control it freely.

Chen Baiyu fumbled and tried to open the mini-map, which immediately took up most of his field of vision.

Because of its semi-transparent design, even when it's constantly open, it doesn't prevent Chen Baiyu from seeing other things through the mini-map.

The small map looks fairly detailed, but it's not as detailed as a military satellite.

Overall, Chen Baiyu's experience using the app was that it felt like he was using a terrible map service for navigation.

Considering that his own system was so badly damaged that even the translation module had to be connected to chatgpt for assistance, Chen Baiyu couldn't help but suspect that the minimap was also connected to a shady map service.

The only difference.

The reason is that many of the place names and shop names that Chen Baiyu was familiar with on this map are significantly different, and even have a rather fantastical style.

Chen Baiyu stared at the drastically altered place names on the minimap, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

[Chaoyang Community] has been transformed into [Dawn People's Gathering Place], and [No. 7 Convenience Store] is now labeled [Seven Holy Spirits Supply Station]...

The map could be dragged and zoomed at will under the control of his mind. Looking at the rather familiar map in front of him, Chen Baiyu tried to zoom it in and out continuously.

Soon, he discovered that it was indeed a map of China.

The area outside of China was completely dark, with a sign that read "The area ahead is temporarily closed."

At the head of the rooster-shaped map of China, the names of the three northeastern provinces have become "Black Dragon River, Lucky Forest, and Distant Peace," the area where Shanghai resides has become "Upside-down Sea," the Jiangnan region has become "River of Awakening," Guangdong has become "East of the Wilderness," and the mushroom-producing province has become "South of the Clouds"...

It does indeed seem to have a style reminiscent of fantasy MMORPG game map naming.

But no matter how the name changes.

At a glance, this is a map of China.

This so-called fantastical name even has a kind of GPT-style aesthetic, like a machine translating word by word from Chinese to English and then back.

This left Chen Baiyu completely bewildered.

If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll end up translating haphazardly when you grow up.

Is this lousy system really reliable?

Chen Baiyu strongly suspected that this was a stubborn system with most of its functions damaged, which began to deceive itself after discovering that it couldn't even take its host on a journey.

The second feature is the personal panel.

Upon opening, you'll see a nude portrait of him, dynamically displaying his full body, which can be rotated to view specific details.

The individual character model has five empty slots next to its head, hands, upper body, lower body, and feet, which appear to be for placing weapons and equipment.

There are three special slots in the blank space above the character's head. Based on Chen Baiyu's many years of gaming experience, these are probably for placing some special accessories.

On the screen to the right of the individual character portrait, there is a bunch of text.

Name: Chen Baiyu

[Race: Human]

[Title: Not worn]

【Level: 0】

[Occupation: None]

[Skill: None]

[Physique: 0.51]

【Spirit: 0.87】

[Experience value: 0/100]

This so-called personal information panel looked quite impressive, immediately sparking a whole host of plot developments in the mind of Chen Baiyu, a web novelist with a vivid imagination.

It makes it hard for him not to imagine and yearn for a future with extraordinary powers.

However, apart from the minimap and this personal panel, Chen Baiyu couldn't find any other functions no matter how hard he tried.

They couldn't even find a system space function that could be used as a spatial ring.

That's right.

Chen Baiyu could not find any way or function to obtain titles, level up, or acquire professions.

In other words.

This so-called personal panel is just for viewing.

Chen Baiyu tried putting kitchen knives, clothes, silver rings, and other items she had at home into the equipment slots, but it didn't work. Or rather, the items simply wouldn't fit in the slots.

He also tried killing a few mosquitoes to see if it counted as killing monsters, but unfortunately he didn't gain any experience.

Aside from the self-deceptive aspects of the system, everything in real life seems to run parallel to everything in the fantasy system, never intersecting.

So far...

This useless system only allows Chen Baiyu to have built-in navigation so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost, and to admire his naked body at any time.

Most importantly, the navigation function requires understanding the system's fantastical naming conventions as much as possible; if it doesn't match the system's programming style, it might be less usable than a poorly designed map.

Therefore, in terms of actual effect, it's more accurate to say that you've become bound to the system.

It's more accurate to say that it was all an illusion.

in silence.

Chen Baiyu lay helplessly on the bed, unable to help but mutter to herself:
This system is useless; you might as well just uninstall it...

hiss……

But then again…
