Siheyuan, my new life

Adams Joseph is now a senior at Kansas State University. If he simply follows the expected path and graduates with his degree, he can enter a Wall Street financial institution and obtain a well-paying job. While ordinary graduates from prestigious universities still need to apply for jobs at various Wall Street financial institutions, Adams Joseph has completely bypassed this process. The reason is simple: after Joseph Sr. led his family to immigrate to the Commonwealth of the Bald Eagle, he not only bought a large farm in Kansas, but also entrusted a large amount of cash to Mogendatong Bank for investment. Today, the Joseph family is a billionaire with hundreds of millions of dollars, and Mogendatong Bank has already extended an invitation to Adams Joseph, the heir to this billionaire fortune, to join the company as soon as he graduates from university.

Last weekend, Adams Joseph returned to his ranch for the weekend. He enjoys horseback riding and hunting and returns to his Joseph Ranch almost every weekend to ride his beloved horse and, accompanied by several ranch cowboys, hunt and relax in the nearby mountains.

During this hunt, an accident occurred. Adams Joseph's horse was startled by a small wild boar that suddenly darted out of the nearby woods. It reared up and neighed loudly. Adams Joseph, who was sitting on the horse and aiming his gun at the boar not far away, fell off the horse and immediately fell unconscious.

After the cowboys who accompanied him frantically brought Adams Joseph back to the farm, a doctor carefully examined him and found no injuries. He was diagnosed with a temporary unconsciousness and was expected to wake up soon.

Sure enough, less than two hours later, Adams Joseph awoke from his coma, only to find himself inhabited by a new soul—a soul from a parallel world had taken over the body and become its new master.

Adams-Joseph, having "awakened," had completely absorbed all of the original owner's memories, making it very easy for him to deal with his family. In order to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders, he spent the weekend at Joseph's ranch as usual, and then drove back to Manhattan.

However, Adams-Joseph did not go directly to Kansas State University, but instead drove to his home near the school.

Given Adams Joseph's financial situation, he certainly wouldn't squeeze into a dormitory room with several roommates at school. After he was admitted to Kansas State University, his family bought him a two-story villa less than two kilometers from the school. Therefore, Adams Joseph only occasionally stayed in the school dormitory for one night, and most of the time he would return to his villa to live.

Back at the villa, Adams-Joseph first called his professor, made up an excuse to ask for three days off, and then, after making preparations, took a gene serum.

After enduring more than half an hour of agonizing pain, Adams-Joseph, ignoring the pungent smell emanating from his body, quickly ran to the bathroom to wash off the layer of light gray grime that had appeared on his body.

After putting on a set of sportswear, Adams Joseph walked into the gym next door. He could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly, so he decided to test it out.

Kansas State University's football team has won numerous awards in the national college football competition, so many male students on campus love the sport, including Adams Joseph. However, his skills were simply not good enough to make the school team. The gym in his villa was built specifically for him to improve his training. Since he was quite well-off, he had prepared a lot of small and medium-sized exercise equipment there.

Reaching out to grab the dumbbells he usually used to train his arm strength, Adams Joseph casually did a few exercises. Normally, he could only do five or six sets of exercises with the 15-kilogram dumbbells at most, but today he did more than 20 sets without feeling any strain.

Adams Joseph put the dumbbells back in their place and walked out of the gym with a big smile. His priority today wasn't to work out; he was eager to understand the "God's favor" system he had acquired.

You see, back at Joseph's farm, he had suppressed his curiosity for fear of being noticed, and only after returning to his villa and taking the gene serum did he prepare to check out the system.

Adams-Joseph, from a parallel world in the future, was very grateful to Xiaomoushu. In his future life, he had registered an account on Xiaomoushu out of curiosity and read many novels about time travel. Therefore, he was able to adapt to his own time travel quickly and knew what he needed to pay attention to after the time travel. The first thing was not to let the people around him who knew him notice anything unusual. That's why he insisted on returning to his villa where he lived alone before he began to understand this "God's Favor" system.

Following the prompts in his mind, Adams-Joseph sensed the lines of pale gold text on the system interface. After carefully reading them, he confirmed that the "God's Favor" system he had acquired was the same kind of sign-in system described on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform). It had several types of sign-in, including daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and major holiday sign-ins. It also had a newbie gift pack, which contained the gene serum he had just taken, as well as a silver card. According to the description, this was a free-fighting skills card, containing all the knowledge and experience passed down from a free-fighting expert, from basic training to thirty years of practice.

Adams-Joseph followed the instructions without hesitation and pressed the card to his forehead. The moment the card touched his forehead, it turned into a dazzling silver ball of light and then slowly merged into his mind.

So in Adams Joseph's mind, a burly, middle-aged white man began explaining kickboxing from the basics.

After an unknown amount of time, Adams Joseph, whose eyes had been slightly closed, slowly opened them. He glanced at the watch on his left wrist; nearly three hours had passed. In those short three hours, the middle-aged white expert had meticulously explained all the techniques and experiences he had gained from thirty years of practicing freestyle fighting. Adams Joseph had practiced freestyle fighting for a period of time before, but now he could clearly feel that what he had learned was merely a tiny, insignificant scratch on the surface.
