Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 25 Wow, this is going to stun countless AAA building materials wholesalers!
After leaving the police station, Chen Baiyu followed her mother and aunt to Qianmen Street.

This is a well-known pedestrian street not far from Tiananmen Square, featuring most of Beijing's famous local specialties and delicacies.

At dusk, Qianmen Street resembles an overturned rouge box, with red lanterns lining the bluestone path all the way to the end, casting a warm glow in the deepening night.

As I approached, I heard the cries of vendors selling candied hawthorns mixed with Peking Opera singing. The air was filled with the aroma of roasted chestnuts, the rich flavor of braised pork and baked buns, and the sweet taste of almond tea, all carried on the evening breeze in a lively and bustling atmosphere.

With the idea of ​​treating themselves to a good meal, the group strolled along Qianmen Street.

The group wasn't in a hurry to find a place to have a proper meal.

Although I don't have a specific goal, I'll buy some of the famous snacks I see.

Chen Baiyu bought a flat candied hawthorn that she had never eaten before.

Although thirty yuan was a bit expensive, he was quite satisfied after tasting it, and could clearly feel that the flavor was sweeter and milder.

My aunt and my mom were browsing and selecting nougat in a shop.

Chen Baiyu stood at the doorway, eating a candied hawthorn while subconsciously glancing around.

The skin on her thighs was dazzlingly white, and the muscle lines undulated gently with each step, while the inside of her knees had a faint pinkish tinge.

Their ankles were bare inside sandals, and when they flexed their feet, the knuckles were clearly visible, like jade flower petals. Some toenails were painted with a translucent color, their toe bones were rounded, and when they stood on tiptoe, their heels lifted off the ground, revealing heels that looked like full pearls.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I forgot to turn off the automatic enemy lock.

It has to be said that, unsurprisingly, there are many beautiful women in the famous tourist attractions of this big city.

Just a casual glance.

Then I found that there were young and beautiful people everywhere.

That youthful, vibrant, and unreserved vitality is hidden in these sun-kissed skin, in the shiver of the evening breeze, and in the rhythm of every breath of every inch of skin.

Oh~
I wonder how many people have been captivated by these phrases: "Great virtue carries all things," "Heaven rewards diligence," "Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals," "A gentleman is open and honest," "Silence is golden," "AAAA hardware and building materials," "Contentment brings happiness," "Instant success," "The highest good is like water," "A bright future," "A boundless future," "The sea is vast and the sky is wide," "Do good deeds and don't worry about the future," "Let bygones be bygones," "A tranquil mind reveals lofty aspirations," "Contentment brings happiness," "Great ambitions," "You'll only win if you fight," "A happy life"...

Unfortunately, this little bit of charm wasn't enough to control him.

Watch it for yourself.

But it's purely for appreciation; there's absolutely no feeling of being moved.

The greedy young man just quietly ate his candied hawthorn.

Then, he even cleared his mind and started multitasking by opening the system interface and tinkering with it.

Chen Baiyu did not resist beautiful things, nor did she suddenly lose all desires.

But that's who he is now.

Interest in other areas far outweighs any thought in this regard.

The system I received yesterday.

Or to be more precise, the system he received when he got off the plane early this morning still holds countless secrets waiting for him to explore and discover.

This curiosity far surpasses any base interest.

That's right, it's not that aesthetics have changed.

The difference lies in the "priority".

The system brings possibilities from another dimension.

It is a leap from "living life in a routine" to "perhaps being able to touch another side of the world".

The allure of this leap is far stronger than the immediate visual pleasure. It's like a mountaineer standing at the foot of a mountain.

What you see is not only the flowers and plants along the way, but also the scenery at the top of the mountain that you have never seen before.

As Chen Baiyu finished eating the candied hawthorn berries, the sweet and sour taste of the last hawthorn still lingering on her tongue, she had already focused most of her attention back on the system panel in her mind.

The personal model still stands still in the center of the virtual space, the crown icon above its head glowing faintly, four of the five equipment slots are still empty, only the head slot displays the words "The Lost Crown of the Cunning Monkey".

He tried to touch the crown icon with his mind, and the pop-up attribute panel was as simple as before.

Aside from the daily [Lingering Power of the Lost Monkey King] which occurs three times, there are no other additional attributes.

The three usage opportunities have now been reset, and it is unknown when they will be refreshed; we are still waiting for time to tell.

"It's still too rudimentary."

He muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his empty palm.

This system is like a newly unpacked toy; its functions are obvious, yet it exudes an inexplicable potential.

For example, those five equipment slots obviously can't just hold headwear like "crowns"; those three special slots still don't know what to fill them with; that physical enhancement—will adding a little more truly allow us to break through human limits; and those so-called class settings—what will job advancement bring...?

Countless questions bubbled up in his mind, stirring his nerves even more than the vivid figures he had just seen.

He suddenly recalled the elation and unease he felt when he first obtained the system, when he felt as if he had grasped the key to change his destiny.

I was both excited and apprehensive, afraid that it was all a dream, and also afraid that this power would bring unknown troubles.

But now, standing under the red lanterns on Qianmen Street, watching the crowds coming and going around me, I feel the power within my body that I can control freely.

The initial fear gradually faded, leaving only a grounded curiosity.

Just like when we were kids and opened a new toy, the first thing we thought about wasn't "how long can I play with this toy", but "how many different ways can I play with it".

In the system panel.

In addition to the personal data panel and equipment slots, there is also a gray "mission" icon.

That's the interface that appears after you first start the newbie bonus missions. However, when there are no missions, clicking it won't do anything. It will open when there are missions.

As for how exactly the task is triggered.

He is indeed completely clueless at the moment.

The three triggered quests – New Player Bonus Quest, Trial of the Blasphemy God, and Punisher of the Howling Cave – show no connection or commonality.

He tried to call out to the system directly with his mind, but there was no cold, mechanical response.

Only the icons on the panel flickered slightly in response to his thoughts, as if silently replying, "I am here."

Actually, this is for the best.

Whether it's an act or not, the system doesn't seem to have any consciousness at the moment, so there's no need to overthink those miscellaneous conspiracy theories.

Chen Baiyu chuckled softly.

Sensing someone approaching, he casually put away his personal system panel.

The surrounding laughter, the aroma of food, and the light footsteps of girls flooded back into my senses.

A girl was walking slowly towards them.

Although the street was wide and there were many people, Chen Baiyu was certain, thanks to his keen senses, that the girl was heading straight for him.
