Chapter 1: Damn, Where's My Brother?
"Name?"
"Yang Jinyu."
Eastern Huang, Xingluo Prefecture, inside the Xinghui City Public Security Bureau.
"Oh, so you're the one who reported it?"
The Public Security Bureau officer scrutinized the seemingly delicate "young girl" in front of him.
She was very pretty and had no superpowers, so it was highly likely that, as she claimed, it was a case of superpowered students bullying an ordinary person.
Yang Jinyu nodded pitifully, "That's right, officer, I even have evidence here."
As he spoke, he took out his phone, and a video appeared on the screen.
The officer took the phone, opened the video, and continued to ask, "Gender?"
"Male."
Officer: "???"
"Miss, this is the Public Security Bureau..."
Before the officer could finish, Yang Jinyu had already skillfully pulled out his ID card, seemingly a habit.
The gender field clearly stated "Male."
"Hmph, neither male nor female, just a pretty boy," a girl next to him sneered, pouting.
The officer glared at her, "This is the Public Security Bureau, behave yourself. Do you have the nerve to bully an ordinary person just because you're a superpowered individual?"
At this moment, the video had just finished loading.
In the footage, Zhao Wan'er stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes full of provocation.
"Yang Jinyu, you pretty boy good-for-nothing, did you hear me? The class competition tomorrow requires everyone to participate, you can't hide."
"Even if Brother Tian Ce isn't at school right now, and even if he rushed back, a class competition is a legitimate contest, and he can't do anything to me."
The officer was startled, ignoring the words "pretty boy." Hearing the words in the video, he glared fiercely at Zhao Wan'er.
However, a superpowered individual threatening an ordinary person was still just a threat.
Since there was no actual physical contact, he couldn't file a case, only warn the arrogant Zhao Wan'er next to him.
"No, I..."
Zhao Wan'er seemed to try to explain something, but her previous attitude and the evidence before them cut her off.
Finally, the two walked out of the Public Security Bureau, Zhao Wan'er gritting her teeth in anger.
Yang Jinyu, however, shed his pitiful demeanor and sneered, pouting.
"Tsk, Zhao Wan'er, you're really something."
"A superpowered individual bullying an ordinary person like me? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"
He easily made Zhao Wan'er's face flush red with anger.
The more he spoke, the more energized he became, as if trying to vent all his recent frustrations.
However, his steps were slowly and silently moving.
"If you dare to hit me, I'll go straight back to the Public Security Bureau to report you.
A superpowered individual assaulting an ordinary person without cause? Just watch me extort you to death!"
"That'll be perfect, you'll spend a few more days inside, and don't even think about going to the Secret Realm trials!"
"Oh, and with your character, you still want to pursue Lao Xiao? You're not even as good-looking as I am, dream on!"
"Why don't you look in a mirror yourself?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already darted away, leaving behind a bewildered Zhao Wan'er.
Regardless of whether he could win tomorrow, feeling good now was the most important thing.
However, not long after walking away, Yang Jinyu's face fell.
"Sigh... I had a blast scolding her yesterday, but what about tomorrow's competition?"
He tossed and turned all night, finally falling into a daze at dawn, only to be startled awake moments later.
Zhao Wan'er, the popular figure in his class.
Relying on her awakened wind-element superpower and her rather pretty face, she was always surrounded by a group of sycophants.
She was also a genuine T0 version.
For some reason, she loved to bring her sycophants to bother him.
However, she had never succeeded before, until yesterday.
Because of a sudden class competition, she finally found a reason to act.
But he was just a superpower good-for-nothing! Wasn't this clearly heaven trying to destroy him?
The thought of Monday's class competition gave Yang Jinyu a headache.
"Even if it's a competition in a virtual space and I won't get seriously hurt, a good beating is probably unavoidable..."
"Lao Xiao, oh Lao Xiao," he wailed into the air, "Your brother is about to be beaten to death, where on earth have you gone..."
"Yang Jinyu!" Suddenly, an angry roar came from the living room, "What time is it, and you're still sleeping!"
"You'd better not make me call you again!"
Yang Jinyu shivered. This was Mother's final warning.
If he didn't get up, he'd face the consequences.
He then struggled out of bed, rubbed his eyes, and mumbled,
"It's a rare holiday, and I can't even sleep in."
Each and every one of them insisted on separating him from his beloved duvet, especially Zhao Wan'er, who even bothered him in his dreams.
Just woken up, Yang Jinyu was still a bit dazed, a playful cowlick standing on his head. He got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Worrying about the class competition was useless; solving the current problem was most important.
It was just that he suddenly felt his pajamas were a bit tight, but he didn't pay much attention, just casually tugged at the hem of his clothes.
He completely failed to notice that his mother's milk had already tilted to a 45-degree angle.
The milky white liquid spilled all over the table, her eyes wide, as if she had seen something incredible.
She seemed to be muttering something, "This is pure milk, right? I didn't add any papaya..."
"Bang!"
The bathroom door was casually closed. Yang Jinyu stood in front of the toilet, groggily unbuttoning his pajama pants.
The moment the fabric slipped down, she suddenly felt a chill below.
It felt like something was missing. She instinctively reached out to touch, immediately sobered up, and looked down with wide eyes.
"Holy crap, what are these balls, and where's my brother?!"
...An hour later.
Yang Jinyu, still unable to accept reality, lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in despair.
She had awakened, awakened a superpower.
This world was a dangerous one, with monsters and alien race rampant, and even invasions from the abyss. Humanity's primary means of combating them was superpowers.
However, at the superpower awakening ceremony half a year ago, she had not awakened a superpower.
At that time, her mindset completely collapsed. In such a dangerous world, being a good-for-nothing without superpowers was not much different from being sentenced to death, just a suspended sentence.
Especially since she had enemies at school. If it weren't for her good buddy protecting her, she would have been put in a sack and beaten up long ago.
Although superpowered individuals couldn't harm ordinary people without cause, darn it, ordinary people also needed evidence!
However, because Yang Jinyu had her best friend looking out for her, and Zhao Wan'er couldn't really touch her anyway, she simply chose to give up and do nothing.
Until yesterday, Friday.
"Students, we have a class competition tomorrow. It's to select some outstanding students to enter Secret Realm special training and aim for top universities.
The school wants to prevent any dark horses from being overlooked, so this time, all students in the school are required to participate, and you can't surrender for the first three minutes. Everyone, go back and prepare well."
Old Class Teacher's words still echoed in her ears. Why did everyone have to participate? She had no superpower, and she couldn't surrender for the first three minutes.
Wasn't she just going up there to get beaten up?
Clearly, her arch-nemesis Zhao Wan'er also knew this and came to provoke her immediately after class.
That was a legitimate opportunity to act. Not to mention her best friend wasn't at school; the other party was bold and dared to go to the Secret Realm by herself without protection.
Even if he was at school, he couldn't stop the other party; at most, he could help her fight back.
So, Yang Jinyu immediately reported it to the police and, before the Public Security Bureau arrived, thoroughly chewed out the other party.
Then, in despair, she continued to give up.
It was just that last night, a meteor shower suddenly streaked across the sky, and she suddenly had a whim, making a wish to awaken a superpower.
And what happened? She woke up, and darn it, she really did awaken one. But wasn't this superpower a bit useless?
She just turned into a girl, permanently, and there were no other effects. This couldn't even be considered the lowest F-rank superpower, could it?
Superpower ranks ranged from low to high: F, E, D, C... SS, SSS, nine ranks.
But even the weakest superpowers could at least light a fire or generate electricity. What could she do with this? Perform an excited punch for a villain?
This darn superpower awakening would make it even harder for her to get by at school.
She was already ostracized by some people because of her feminine face and short ponytail.
Now, wouldn't the other side become even more frantic?
That short ponytail wasn't something she chose to have; it was because her hair grew too fast.
Others cut their hair once a month; she cut hers every two or three days. Eventually, she just stopped cutting it.
Instead, after growing to a certain length, it naturally returned to a normal growth rate, so she completely stopped bothering with it.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, your superpower awakening is successful, meeting the system binding conditions. Successfully bound the DNF Female Gunner System, currently binding with the superpower panel..."
Wait, system?
What did she hear? Was this a golden finger? Was she saved?
As someone who had lived two lives, although through reincarnation, she was still considered a transmigrator and naturally knew the awesomeness of systems.
But what the heck was a Female Gunner? She naturally knew DNF and had even played it for a while during the level 60 version.
But couldn't it be something else? Did she have to become a girl? Couldn't it be a Male Gunner?
"Alright, Jinyu, don't stay cooped up in your room anymore, come out and eat!"
Listening to the voice outside, Yang Jinyu looked down at the two large bulges on her chest.
With a conflicted expression, she walked out of the room, "Mom, don't you have anything to say?"
