Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 5 At this moment, the world is in my hands

When the boarding announcement finally came on, Chen Baiyu felt a wave of dizziness.

As the line moved slowly, he repeatedly checked the information on his boarding pass.

17A, window seat.

This was probably the craziest day of his life.

Or perhaps, it's just the beginning of the ordinary daily life of someone experiencing hallucinations due to mental instability.

Chen Baiyu had no idea what the future held.

But if possible.

He longed to actually possess the system!

If the system is real, what does this mean for ordinary people?
Chen Baiyu was an ordinary person.

While it wasn't quite as low as dust, it wasn't much better either.

An ordinary bachelor's degree, an ordinary freelance job, ordinary savings, and even an ordinary appearance that would make him indistinguishable in a crowd.

His life was like a straight railway, without branches or ups and downs, simply moving forward along the predetermined track until the end.

But what if the system is real...?

That meant there was finally a possibility of changing course.

Chen Baiyu closed her eyes and imagined the characters in novels and movies who had systems.

Some of them gained wealth, some gained power, and some even changed the world.

But what Chen Baiyu wanted wasn't actually that grand.

All he wanted was a tiny possibility.

Even a little bit could make his life less routine and predictable.

As I pondered, it was already 10:20 PM.

Chen Baiyu took off.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't secretly taking off from home dressed as a pilot.

The "flying" here refers to the physical sense; at this moment, he is high in the sky.

According to the "stubborn" system...

He is currently riding the Sky Giant Winged Beast towards the far northern capital.

In fact, he was on flight CZ3260, a direct flight from Chongqing to Beijing.

Looking out through the plane window.

You can see the wings drawing a silver arc against the deep blue night sky.

The evening clouds churned below, like a still, black ocean, while the strobe lights on the edges of the wings flickered rhythmically, piercing the darkness with sharp white light.

Each time that light shone, it was like a fallen star suddenly awakening, briefly tearing open the silence of the night.

Compared to the other passengers who were mostly asleep on the plane, Chen Baiyu, who was silently looking out the window, was not sleepy at all.

Even though the cramped space on an airplane, combined with the unpleasant smell of the air, can easily make people feel drowsy.

He was not sleepy at all.

Not only was she not sleepy, but she also frequently checked the time displayed on her phone.

The flight was scheduled to arrive at 12:45, but it actually landed around 12:30. The last 15 minutes were spent taxiing, slowing down, and adjusting its position.

It has only just taken off, which means he will be in the air for more than two hours.

Compared to the nearly ten hours that have passed since I received the system, then traveled and waited, these last two hours don't seem like a long time.

But something happens.

Often, the closer it gets to the deadline, the more anxious people become.

His heart was filled with trepidation.

Chen Baiyu brought up the system interface.

The translucent blue light curtain still floated in view, overlapping with the night outside the airplane window.

The task status shows "In Progress," with no new notifications.

in silence.

Chen Baiyu tried his best to calm himself down. He looked out the window at the night sky and tried to shift his attention and thoughts elsewhere.

He couldn't help but start thinking.

What exactly is a system to an ordinary person?
Is it a cheat code? A hack? A gift from fate?
No.

It is, in fact, hope. It is a glimmer of possibility that ordinary people can finally become extraordinary.

Unlike many protagonists in novels, Chen Baiyu wouldn't question the system's origins or purpose, or worry about whether there was some conspiracy behind it.

That would actually be meaningless.

Given such a vast disparity, what good would it do to uncover some conspiracy?

He would only silently look forward to and be grateful; he wouldn't be the type to eat from the bowl and then curse the cook.

Because no matter what the system brings him.

Wealth, ability, opportunity, even danger...

At least, it gave him a chance.

An opportunity to make an ordinary life extraordinary.

Time passed as Chen Baiyu pondered.

In fact, time inevitably becomes distorted when one is anxious and has complicated thoughts.

Human perception is actually quite unreliable.

When Chen Baiyu checked the time again, she was surprised to find that a long time had passed.

At this moment, the plane had almost reached BJ and was gradually descending.

By observing his own tiny map, which resembled a low-budget, poorly designed map, he could essentially confirm this without even turning on his phone, which was already in airplane mode, to use navigation software.

We'll be there soon!

What might happen next.

He had high expectations.

His reason for doing this was, of course, because he was about to verify the authenticity of the system.

"Attention passengers, our aircraft is descending. Please straighten your seatbacks and stow your tray tables..."

The flight attendant's announcement suddenly rang out in the cabin, startling many people who were half asleep.

Chen Baiyu, who hadn't slept at all, suddenly sat up straight, her forehead almost hitting the seat in front of her.

The strobe lights on the plane wings outside the window continued to flash regularly, but the clouds below had thinned, and the city lights could be vaguely seen spreading out like stars.

Chen Baiyu's fingertips unconsciously tightened around the armrest.

We're about to land.

what does this mean?
Will the system respond? Or is it all just his hallucination?
Please make sure your seatbelt is fastened.

As the flight attendant walked through the passageway for inspection, she glanced at Chen Baiyu, who seemed dazed.

Chen Baiyu didn't pay much attention to it.

His feelings at this moment.

As the altitude continued to decrease until the eardrums felt swollen and uncomfortable, the person became increasingly excited.

Accompanied by the impact sound and swaying sensation of the plane landing.

Along with that, another voice rang out, which made Chen Baiyu, who had been excited for a long time, show a moment of wild joy.

[Ding! New player bonus mission completed!]

[Experience points reward has been issued!]

[Your level has been raised to level 1. Detecting host racial potential and quantifying the specific value of one attribute point!]

[Your current physical fitness level has been raised to 1 (determined by the system, representing the average level that ordinary humans can achieve through training)]

[Your current mental level has been raised to 1 (determined by the system, the average level that mortals of the human race can reach through training)]

this moment.

The system's voice was like heavenly music.

Chen Baiyu's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

Who understands the sense of redemption that comes from the sudden "beep" sound at this moment?

It's real! The system is real!
Chen Baiyu wanted to laugh out loud, wanted to scream, but all the sounds were stuck in her throat.

I felt that my body shape and form had hardly changed, but I could clearly feel the changes within my body.

He understands.

From then on, everything was different.

At this moment, the world is in your hands!
