While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

After living in what the system called "The Bottom Nest" for a day, Tom realized that it wasn't the Warhammer universe at all, but New York City in 1941.

That damn system scared the hell out of me.

During this time, Tom gradually figured out the system's nature.

Entry-level civil servant → Clerk in the Ministry of the Interior;

Bus breaks down → Machine spirit is enraged;

Regional Police → Planetary Defense Force PDF;

In short, the system will forcibly interpret everything Tom experiences as a Warhammer game.

Tom's home in New York is practically the second home of the four evil gods in the system's eyes, and they keep urging Tom to move away from this "planet".

Gang warfare → Khwarazmian unrest;

The young woman selling her own business by the roadside → a follower of Slaanesh;

The congressman's campaign speech → Tzeentch's conspiracy;

A flu outbreak occurred in the neighboring city → caused by some evil spirit.

When Tom encounters special events, the system will give Tom certain attribute rewards.

Essentially, it's a stat allocation system, and it's not directly controlled by Tom.

"I wonder what kind of tricks the system will pull on me today."

Tom lay in bed, anticipating today's system reward.

While waiting, Tom glanced at his stats.

[Current Character Panel]

Name: Tom Smith

[Gender: Biological sex is male, psychological sex is normally male, sexual interest is female (biological sex), but there seems to be little resistance to a biological sex male who is physically female. The system could not fully determine the psychological sex, and it is tentatively set as 99% male and 1% female psychological sex.]

【Strength: 2.7】

[Agility: 3.1]

【Intelligence: 4.5】

(The average three dimensions of adult males in the 40K period were 10, and those of adult females were 8.)

(The average three dimensions of adult males in the 2K period were 3, and those of adult females were 2.5.)

[Psionic Power: ███]

(Soulless individuals do not display psionic data)

SAN value: 4/4.25

(SAN value is calculated daily, and remains unchanged throughout the day until the next day's calculation.)

(The higher the sanity value, the higher the work efficiency; it cannot exceed the upper limit.)

(When the sanity value is below one-third, in addition to affecting work efficiency the next day, one will also receive one or more negative buffs such as irritability, anger, lying, and lust.)

(When the sanity value is below zero, there is a chance that the soul will self-liberate and return to the Emperor the next day. The more negative the sanity value, the higher the probability.)

[Evaluation: A malnourished and frail bottom-nest rat. It's fortunate the Soulless One wasn't exposed, otherwise you would have become the Empire's most effective blade and artillery.]

After transmigrating, Tom tried training for a few days, but it didn't affect his character attributes at all.

After a workout, the soreness in your body will disappear when you wake up, as if you hadn't worked out at all the day before.

The only time your attributes change is on the day you become a civil servant. The system says you've successfully joined the Ministry of the Interior and are rewarded with a little intelligence.

When Tom woke up the next day, he felt refreshed and could memorize the order of a deck of cards at a glance, without needing any mnemonic techniques, just pure memory.

Tom concluded that with a system, personal training is useless.

Tom simply gave up on training, as the attributes he gained through hard work were superficial and weak, while the attributes he obtained through system-added points were solid and reliable.

About two minutes later, the system panel updated.

The events of December 12, 1941, have been compiled. The following is the diary entry:

Today marks my thirteenth Terra Day in the Warhammer universe, and my third Terra Day as a clerk in the Department of the Interior.

I was awakened this morning by my mother's prayers. As a devout follower of the state religion, my mother is becoming increasingly pious towards the emperor.

[Impact of the event: None]

My father was too busy at his clinic in Dichao, and he left before I woke up. I haven't seen him in the mornings for several days now.

[Impact of the event: None]

[While chatting with colleagues at work, I discovered that their families are all better off than mine. They all got into the Ministry of the Interior without even taking an exam; a single letter of recommendation was all it took. Meanwhile, I not only took out loans to study and work, but I also had to go through layers of selection to get into the Ministry of the Interior. I'm so envious of my colleagues' family backgrounds.]

[Event Impact: SAN value -1, SAN maximum +0.01]

Current SAN value: 3/4.25

(Whenever an event occurs that reduces the sanity value, the maximum sanity value will be increased by 1%.)

[At noon, I heard on the Ministry of the Interior's broadcast that the Cosmic Dwarves had launched a surprise attack on the Empire. As a citizen of the Empire, I am furious. At the same time, the Dwarves are fighting against the Space Necromancers. I am a worshipper of the Space Necromancers and know the Empire's strength. I know that the Cosmic Dwarves are about to meet their end, and the Space Necromancers will be saved.]

[Event impact: SAN value +0.3]

Current SAN value: 3.3/4.25

I sang and danced all evening on my way home from get off work, and I had a great time.

[Event impact: SAN value +0.05]

Current SAN value: 3.35/4.25

I ran into my legal mutant neighbor on the street. He made sarcastic remarks, but I didn't dare to attack him because of his guard mutant dog.

I am such a coward, such a failure.

[Event Impact: SAN value -5, SAN maximum +0.05]

Current SAN value: -1.65/4.3

I cooked dinner at home and enjoyed a warm and loving meal with my family.

[Event impact: SAN value +0.5]

Current SAN value: -1.15/4.3

After dinner, I listened to the Emperor's speech on the radio. Although it was a recording, it delighted the radio, even reducing the white noise compared to usual, bringing me immense joy.

[Event impact: SAN value +99999]

Current SAN value: 4.3/4.3

[Diary entry for December 7, 1941 – Praise the Emperor!!!]

When Tom saw the [Sanity Value +99999], his eyes widened instantly, even though he was worried about living with a negative Sanity value.

"President Luo, no, no, Emperor Luo, you are my light!"

"Praise be to Emperor Luo the Great."

Tom closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep contentedly.

As for why Roosevelt was classified as an emperor by the system?

Tom conjured up a set of logic in his mind—

The emperor sat on a golden toilet, while Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair.

The Emperor could not stand up, nor could Roosevelt.

A golden toilet equals a wheelchair, and an emperor equals Roosevelt—that makes perfect sense.

As for whether that's how it's determined, Tom doesn't intend to investigate further. He doesn't care that much. Who cares how the system determines it? The real sanity value is the most important thing.

The next morning, Penny's prayers in the living room woke Tom again.

Tom quickly washed up, ate some Hoover soup that Penny had made, and went to work.

Considering the important events that would happen today, Tom arrived at the New York City Finance Bureau in Manhattan half an hour early.

As eight o'clock approached, colleagues arrived at the Finance Bureau one after another.

At the director's command, everyone assembled in the conference room.

The entire city's finance bureau has only a little over a hundred employees. The director is a tall, aloof woman who is just thirty years old and her name is Denise Vanderbilt.

Denise's uncle was a New York State Senator who only became the New York City Treasurer at the age of thirty, which was considered a rather unremarkable achievement.

Not just Denise, but all the employees in the entire Finance Bureau, except for Tom and Tom's team leader, were people with connections.

No, in the free and democratic United States, this is not called a "connection-based" job, but rather an outstanding talent under the recommendation letter system.
