These days, if you don't have a cheat code when you transmigrate, you can't even bring yourself to greet people.
Let alone in a world as dangerous as the Marvel Universe. If the protagonist doesn't have a cheat code, they're basically just there to be cannon fodder. It seems the great being who sent him here definitely wouldn't be bored enough to want to see his ten thousand different ways of dying.
System, what's the first world? What's my mission?
It only took three seconds for Li Qingyuan to accept the fact that he had a system. After all, he could immediately accept transmigrating into Marvel, so having a system was only natural, right?
'Countdown commencing. The first world is "Godzilla: King of the Monsters." The mission will be released after the host transmigrates. The host has nine minutes and forty seconds of preparation time!'
The System's cold, mechanical voice immediately replied, clearly a system devoid of emotions.
"Damn!"
Even though he could communicate directly with the System in his mind, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but curse out loud.
He could have accepted it if it was the old version of Godzilla, but the latest version, Godzilla: King of the Monsters?
Monsters everywhere, the whole world getting nuked... with his small frame, he wouldn't even be able to do the mission, let alone survive the radiation!
Was this damn thing a moronic System playing a joke on him!
Wanda and Pietro, who had been crying, immediately stopped, both children looking up at Li Qingyuan, who had suddenly started swearing, their eyes filled with three parts fear and two parts confusion.
"It's nothing! I'm just a little annoyed!" Seeing that his actions had frightened the two children, Li Qingyuan could only force a wry smile, then reached out to rub their heads.
System, can I change the mission? I'm a newbie; isn't it too much to be sent directly into this storyline? Although he knew his request was useless, Li Qingyuan felt he should at least try.
Maybe this moronic System would suddenly crash!
'Analyzing host capabilities. Based on the detected attributes, the host is slightly below average. Probability of survival in "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" is 0.0000001‰. Changing the plot world. Now set to "Titanic."'
"Yes!"
Excited, Li Qingyuan immediately picked up little Wanda in his arms and gave her a triple toss. (It's a good thing an ordinary person didn't go crazy after being stimulated by a system and a sudden transmigration. Those who argue probably can't even handle winning the lottery, so don't argue with me about composure!)
Wanda stared blankly at the suddenly berserk big brother, unable to understand his actions.
Pietro quickly pulled his sister away, looking at the dancing, flailing guy with a touch of wariness.
Has this guy gone crazy?
"Titanic!"
Li Qingyuan looked at the first plot world that appeared before his eyes, feeling like he had this in the bag.
The Titanic was a love story adapted from a real historical event by James Cameron. Back when it was first released, it swept through the entire film industry, racking up awards left and right.
The whole movie wasn't particularly dangerous, save for a few minor problems during the sinking.
But for him, who already knew the entire plot, were those minor problems even a problem at all?
He figured that if he was to transmigrate into the Titanic, the mission would probably be to save someone, obtain the Heart of the Ocean, or perhaps, if he was feeling a bit wicked, to woo the female lead, Rose.
Although Kate Winslet later gained the nickname "Fat Win" after letting herself go, when she filmed Titanic, she was in her prime. If there was a mission, it wouldn't be a loss for him.
"You two wait here for a moment. I'll be right back after I use the restroom," Li Qingyuan said to the siblings, seeing that the countdown timer still had seven minutes left.
Without waiting for the siblings to react, he immediately climbed down through the hole.
Going down was easier than going up; the drop was less than three meters, so it wouldn't have been a problem to simply jump down.
Watching Li Qingyuan suddenly disappear before them, Pietro and Wanda forgot their fear and crying, and the two children looked at each other.
"Pietro, is Brother Jack stupid?" Wanda asked her brother in a low voice after a moment of stunned silence.
"Maybe, he might have bumped his head!" Pietro scratched his head, uncertain.
Even if he really needed to use the restroom, the one on the third floor wasn't broken. Why would he jump back to the second floor to use it?
Not paying any attention to the two youngsters' comments, Li Qingyuan immediately rushed into the bedroom to prepare.
Although Titanic was a very simple newbie mission, this was, after all, his first time traversing a story. Naturally, he needed to be fully prepared.
First, the weapons!
Although the previous owner's parents were Chinese, they had lived in Sokovia for over a decade and had some means of self-defense.
Two Beretta 92 Pistols, plus four magazines of bullets.
In a place like Eastern Europe, you can't do business without a weapon.
It's just a pity that the weapons the previous body's parents prepared were only good for dealing with small-time thugs. They were utterly useless against a missile falling from the sky.
But with these two guns, dealing with any potential dangers on the ship should be more than enough!
Then, Li Qingyuan quickly opened the bedroom safe and took out a few gold bars.
He was grateful for the previous body's parents' good habit of letting their second daughter of the family secretly save money. The safe contained not only a large amount of cash but also quite a few gold bars.
Those US dollars wouldn't be usable in the world of the Titanic; after all, that world's timeline was only 1912, and the paper money versions were different.
But gold bars were the universal currency of the myriad worlds. Bringing a few along would definitely allow him to deal with any unexpected needs.
He also took a kitchen knife and hung it on his belt. He was just about to go rummage through the storage room to see if there were any life buoys or something.
Although he was ninety-nine percent sure he could escape from the ship, who knew if the System would mess with him and throw him into the moment the ship sank?
So, preparing a lifebuoy in advance was also quite necessary.
However, before he could even open the door to the storage room, he heard the System's cold voice begin to remind him.
'Preparation time is over. Teleportation will begin in three seconds. Three, two, one!'
His originally clear head immediately began to feel dizzy. In the haze, it seemed like countless points of light were passing by him. Li Qingyuan wanted to take a closer look at what those points of light were, but he instantly felt a buzzing in his head.
He quickly closed his eyes. Even if he hadn't slaughtered a pig, he had at least eaten pork. He knew that this situation was because his strength was too low to resist the side effects of the so-called spacetime turbulence, so he simply closed his eyes, which would make him feel better.
'Ding! Host has successfully teleported. Please integrate into the current environment within ten minutes. The main mission will be released in ten minutes!' Hearing the sound in his mind, Li Qingyuan finally opened his eyes.
"What's this smell!" But as soon as he opened his eyes, he had to quickly cover his nose.
