Chapter 001: Rebirth, Time Travel, and the Intellectual Disability System

Luke, you lazybones, haven't you put on your clothes yet? If you don't come down soon, I'll make you go to the graduation dance naked. "Robert Grayson sat in the open driver's seat and shouted upstairs, his loud voice seemed to shake the glass of the small building.

After a moment, a shout that was not much smaller than his previous one sounded upstairs: "W! T! F!?"

Robert was immediately furious, jumped off the driver's seat of the F150, and quickly rushed into the small building.

Then, there was a loud thud upstairs, followed by the sound of the door opening.

"Ah, Luke, what's wrong with you?" Robert shouted again, followed by a female voice.

One minute later, Robert rushed out of the building with a teenager on his back, followed by a middle-aged woman with a panicked expression and a five-year-old boy in her hand.

"Catherine, you drive with Joseph. Be careful on the road and don't be in a hurry." Robert just turned his head and hastily reminded the middle-aged woman, then put the young man behind him into the back seat and lay down. He quickly got into the driver's seat.

After the ignition started, the roar of the Ford Raptor sounded and quickly rushed onto the road, speeding away.

 ……

One day later, Lu Ke woke up from his coma.

Looking at the ceiling above his head, he was stunned for a moment before recalling what had happened before, and his heart was suddenly surging.

But he immediately suppressed this emotion, quickly looked around, and found that this was a hospital ward.

Besides him, there was only Claire sleeping soundly on the sofa not far away in the ward.

Seeing Claire, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

My younger sister is here. It seems that Robert sent me here.

After paying attention to the surroundings, I found that almost no one was moving around. It should be late at night now, and the hospital is silent.

Lu Ke closed his eyes and called out affectionately in his heart, "Come out, System."

Then... there was no response.

What the hell is this system!

Lu Ke suppressed the urge to curse and called out affectionately again, "Come out, System Dad!"

Then... still no response.

Lu Ke: "... System son?"

"System Sun Zei!"

"System, you jungle?"

Okay, still no response.

Lu Ke complained in his heart: This stupid system, can you at least give me an interface or attribute panel? What's the deal with pretending to be dead like this?

Just thinking like this, some data came to mind.

Unlike the panel he had imagined before, these data appeared directly in his mind and he didn't need to look at them because there was no panel at all.

User Lu Ke (alias Luke Coulson)

Strength 12

Agile 11

Intelligence 12

Level 0

Experience 0

Points 0

And then... it's gone again.

Lu Ke was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. He really wanted to catch this system and beat it up, but unfortunately he didn't even know where this broken system was.

As for Lu Ke's own origin, we have to start from thirteen years ago.

One day, Lu Ke suddenly woke up and found himself a five-year-old kid named Luke Colson.

Without much tearing, he understood from the system that he was not a soul possessor after time travel, and Luke, this little brat, was himself.

It's just that because the system has certain requirements for the brain, it automatically activates at the age of five and retrieves his memories.

At that time, he, who had been ignorant for five years, only realized that his previous life was not a person in this world.

In his previous life, he was a person from another world, living a mediocre but peaceful life until the age of thirty. He worked as a clerk in a certain company every day, earning a salary that was enough to eat and waiting for death. There was nothing particularly special about it.

Then, one night he fell asleep watching an American TV series at home, which happened to feature an episode of a case that happened in a rural area of the US.

Seeing the beautiful scenery and vast world on TV, he murmured to himself that it would be great if he could live there.

After that, the memory of that world was gone.

Obviously, after he fell asleep that night, he somehow came to the US of this world and became a little baby.

Memories from before the age of five still exist, no different from normal children. They remember everything that should be remembered, and memories that are too young are gone.

However, he knows that this is not the US from the previous life.

Because the previous life was already in 2018, his birth date in this life is 1985.

A bigger piece of evidence is that the current US president of the world is a Latino woman, Michelle Gable, 57.

Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

Although Lu Ke doesn't care much about the previous presidents of the US, he knows that in the previous US president, there was no woman, no Latin American, and no Latin American female president.

Therefore, his soul did not travel back more than 20 years, but appeared in another parallel world.

Regarding this, Lu Ke's feelings are very complicated.

He had hoped that this was the world of the previous life, so that he could find his parents and sisters again.

But the fact told him that he couldn't go back.

As a Buddha-like youth from the previous life, Lu Ke quickly gave up this meaningless tearing.

First, he couldn't think of a way to go back, and second, his parents and sisters took care of him. He only hoped that his disappearance wouldn't make them too sad, although it was impossible.

After more than ten years, Lu Ke gradually let go of the torn past life and became a native.

He still wants to complain about the environment he grew up in.

Why do other time travelers often time travel to become the son of a consortium, or in big cities like New York, but he inexplicably time travels to the remote US countryside?

He has been living in a small town outside of Knox, Texas since he woke up at the age of five.

This small town called Shackford has only a little over 2,000 residents, with a population the size of a small village in China in his previous life.

On the contrary, the place here is surprisingly large. As long as you leave the small town, it's normal to not see a single household for dozens of minutes by car.

He was able to live in this remote and poor village for thirteen years, and even graduated from high school, all because he... is a systematic man.

From the age of five, he knew he had a system.

However, this system did not respond at all. It was like a stone, without any movement. Only he could feel that it really existed.

Well, he doesn't know exactly where it exists.

He never mentioned it to anyone because it would only make Robert and Catherine think he was mentally ill.

Moreover, a message from the system let him know that it would be officially activated when he became an adult.

Regarding this, Lu Ke can only endure it.

The system insists on playing dead, what can he do?

He has called the system dad, grandpa, and you uncle more than once. It is common for him to call the system son, grandson, zei, and turtle grandson after no response, but he remains unmoved.

The systems of other novel protagonists either possess intelligence or artificial intelligence, and their personalities can also be cold, scheming, arrogant, talkative, and cheap. They can chat and play when they have nothing to do.

The system he got is not artificial intelligence at all, it's just a mechanical fool, otherwise there's no way to explain its unresponsive reaction.

And so, Lu Ke grew up calmly, studying, and today is the day of his high school graduation dance, which is also his 18th birthday.

Just as he was changing his dress upstairs and preparing to attend the high school graduation dance in the evening, the system suddenly sent a message: the host has been detected as an adult, the system is officially activated, and synchronization will begin in ten seconds!

"WTF?!" Lu Ke only had time to yell.

He hadn't figured out what to do yet when a severe pain came to his mind. In an instant, his vision went black. The body's self-protection mechanism worked, causing him to successfully pass out.

After Robert rushed upstairs, he saw Lu Ke lying on the floor, unaware of anything.

Next, he was taken to the hospital by Robert and woke up after a day of coma.

At this moment, there is only one sleeping Claire by his side, just in time for him to open the treasure.

System, that's the treasure!

Over the years, his feelings were like a person who learned early on that he had received a large inheritance, but it would take many years to receive it.

Well, that's actually not wrong.

This system is the legacy left by his previous life to this life.

For thirteen long years, Lu Ke has been waiting for this moment.

After waking up, he finally understood why the system was activated only after adulthood.

Because the system needs to synchronize with his soul to complete soul binding, and his body, especially his brain, cannot withstand the impact of synchronization before he is a minor, it is easy to die.

Lu Ke can only MMP in his heart!

Notify me earlier if you want to synchronize! Can't you do it one day in advance? This stupid system actually gave him a ten-second countdown and then started working directly.

Now, not only was he sent to the hospital, but also the graduation dance was ruined.

What's even worse is that his current girlfriend Ximena is going to dance with him. After being stood up by him, he doesn't know if he will be scratched to death by that little wildcat.

However, these are all problems that need to be torn later, and his attention is still on the system now.

However, this mechanical fool of the system once again broke through his imagination, and his stupidity was indescribable.

Officially activated, synchronized, but still dead.

That attribute panel without a panel has no hints, just a few lonely data.

Lu Ke couldn't help but curse in his heart: System, at least you should have a name, right? Are you both a mentally disabled person and an orphan?

I started cursing in my heart, but suddenly there was movement in the system.

Detective System!

And then... it's gone again.

Lu Ke didn't have the strength to be angry with this mentally retarded system anymore.

He calmed down and began to study the system.

Although he has been cursing in his heart that the panel given by the system is useless, it is still somewhat useful.

With simple logic, it can be inferred that since the system provides data, generally speaking, these data can be improved.

From the perspective of the three major physical attributes of Li Min Zhi, Lu Ke can judge that the system data is not as stupid as it itself.

The system defaults that the average value of these three attributes for ordinary people is 10, while Lu Ke's strength is 12, agility is 11, and intelligence is 12.

That is to say, his strength is slightly higher than the average level of ordinary people, perhaps because most people here are accustomed to outdoor work, and students also like to exercise.

Lu Ke himself even follows the crowd and regularly follows several fitness enthusiasts in the class to exercise and shape his body.

Of course, it's just a hobby, he's just playing around, so his strength attribute is only 12, which is slightly higher than the average level.

Agile 11, it seems that he did not receive targeted training, so he is only slightly higher than the average level.

Intelligence 12, but it's a habit from the previous life. He's not a straight-A student, but he's not a bad student either. Compared to those fitness enthusiasts who only have muscles in their minds, his 12 intelligence points are still passable.

The three basic attributes are not particularly outstanding, but there are no weaknesses either. It is just unknown whether the system can improve these data.

Next are the three data points: level 0, experience 0, and points 0.

This shows that he has a level in this system and can also gain experience and points.

How much experience is needed to upgrade specifically, and what is the use of level points? You can try it slowly, at least this system will not be useless.

After studying for a long time, Lu Ke began to probe again.

"Sir System, give me some reaction, how do I level up?"

"Experience? Of course I know I need experience, but how do I get experience?"

"Mission? Where is it?"

"I'm going to the next door! How dare you say you're not stupid? Do you have to force me to give you the task? You really are a mechanical fool."

Lu Ke's repeated probing finally triggered the system's movement, and a line of information finally appeared on the panel without a panel.

Task: Become a formal police officer.

Time limit: one month.

Reward: 10 experience points, 10 points.

Lu Ke felt this message and almost got up and knelt down again - thank you so much! System Sir.

Sure enough, this system is useful!

Sure enough, he was able to gain experience and points.

But a moment later, the happy Lu Ke was torn up again.

What the hell is this system!

He had read quite a few novels, especially the ones that the system had streamed.

The specific functions are not mentioned, but most systems can be divided into several categories.

The first type is the mysterious side system, which provides magic, martial arts, and superpowers to the owner.

The second type is the technology side system, which provides weapons, technology genes, and enhanced interstellar warships.

The third type is the reality-side system. Anything like being a celebrity, writer, scientist, villain, or good person should be included in this category.

In the third category, abilities and items from the first two systems are occasionally mixed in, but reality is still the main focus.

Of course, Lu Ke wants the first type of system the most.

Things on the mysterious side are always so mysterious and tempting.

Secondly, technology is also fine. After all, when technology reaches a certain level, it is not inferior to mysterious things.

The third category is the final choice.

If all else fails, becoming a celebrity or a great writer, and then switching to become a screenwriter, playing with certain rules is actually not bad.

Or become a scientist and become a tech nouveau riche, that's also okay.
