1: Cubeman 2077

Night City is a city of dreams, and also a city that devours dreams. Every year, countless people come to Night City, attempting to realize their dreams here, yet only a handful succeed.

Many of those who come to Night City are dream chasers full of passion and enthusiasm, but the majority of them will, within half a year of arriving in Night City, successively turn into cold corpses, and then be thrown into anNo one cares garbage heap.

Their bodies will stink, swell, and rot in the garbage heap, eventually becoming nutrients for the growth of this massive and ruthless mechanical city.

Of course, whether they are successful individuals who realized their dreams after coming to Night City, or failures who fled Night City in disgrace and exited the stage dejectedly, they will not deny one point: it is truly possible to realize your dreams in Night City.

Compared to other cities and regions where social order is relatively stable and firmly controlled by corporations, Night City, although extremely chaotic, also contains countless opportunities sufficient for people to realize their dreams.

A black fat guy once said: Nameless nobody, or famous throughout the land?

Living in Night City, you must carve out your own path!

Welcome to Night City!

Time: October 6, 2074. Location: Night City, Badlands.

The weather in the Badlands was as unbearable as ever. Frequent sandstorms and pervasive sand made life here annoying for the residents.

However, they had no choice but to face such harsh conditions. Therefore, most people living here basically mastered methods to protect themselves in the wind and sand.

Fang Yun, a typical dull college student from the 21st century. Naturally, he didn't know the techniques to protect himself in the wind and sand.

Moreover, having just transmigrated to this world, he didn't have the time or opportunity to learn those techniques.

So, Fang Yun could only stand in front of a dilapidated house in an abandoned small town, looking utterly bewildered, and then, he got a mouthful of sand.

Saying it like that isn't quite right; it should be said that he *felt* like he got a mouthful of sand.

Fang Yun spat a few times, trying to alleviate the gritty feeling in his mouth. Then, as if just coming to his senses, he looked around and exclaimed:

"Where did this send me? Am I still in the country?! Tong Zi? Is Tong Zi still here? Come out and give me a reasonable explanation."

"Ding! Esteemed Host, the Magic-Modified Cube System is at your service. Upon its birth, the System immediately performed a teleportation for the Host according to its built-in operating principles."

"However, because the teleportation type was random teleportation, the destination after teleportation is not fixed. Please understand this, Host."

Fang Yun scratched his head, "Alright, alright. Seeing as you're a new System with no experience, I'll forgive you this time."

Then, Fang Yun pointed upwards and asked, "Now, I have an idea. Uh... no, I have a question."

"I was skipping a boring class and happily playing cyberpunk 2077 in my dorm (referring to glitching for money, having a blast), where did you suddenly send me?"

"Looking at this place... why does it feel a bit familiar?"

Fang Yun paused here, then raised his hand, crossed his arms, and rubbed his chin.

"Based on the game I played before transmigrating and the classic transmigration tropes, Tong Zi, you didn't happen to send me to a wasteland town outside Night City, did you?"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you guessed correctly."

Fang Yun clapped his hands, showing a look of sudden realization, "Holy cow, I actually guessed correctly. I really am too smart."

"So now, Tong Zi, introduce yourself."

"Based on your self-introduction, Tong Zi, I will choose whether to continue living diligently in this generally terrible world, or to find a way to painlessly end my life right now, immediately."

"Ding! Please, Host, do not have pessimistic thoughts like ending your life, because the System's power is beyond your imagination!"

"This System is called the Magic-Modified Cube System, it is an incredibly powerful, infinitely promising, super amazing System!"

"The Host can simply understand that this System is obtained by magic-modifying the MC System."

"With the System's assistance, the Host only needs to throw away their brain and enjoy a wonderful life."

"So, please don't be pessimistic, enjoy the wonderful life ahead. The System will always stand behind you, providing assistance and escorting you."

After listening to Tong Zi's self-introduction, Fang Yun felt a surge of confidence.

"It's stable now, everything's stable. As a despicable two-block-high person, no matter which world I'm in, I can walk sideways. Just a mere Night City, watch me easily handle it."

Fang Yun made an arrogant gesture like a Korean person in rage, then eagerly asked the System:

"Tong Zi, give me the goods. Is there a personal panel, are there modules, is there a module shop? You know, MC with modules installed is a completely different game from MC without modules installed."

"Ding! Host Module is enabled, Task Module is enabled, Shop Module is enabled. Transmigration Module is temporarily disabled. Other modules are not yet open, please look forward to them."

Fang Yun rubbed his hands together like a fly, then smoothed his hair, and said excitedly, "Since there's a Host Module, does that mean there should be a personal panel?"

"Tong Zi, quickly open my personal panel, let me see if my development is normal."

"Ding! The Host's current personal panel is as follows:"

【Personal Panel】

【True Name】: Fang Yun

【Name】: Fang Yun

【Identity】: Block Person

After carefully observing his personal panel, Fang Yun said, "It's alright, not bad... not bad."

After clicking on each item and reading the explanation, Fang Yun had a general understanding of what his various stats represented.

Fang Yun touched his body, "So, I'm not human anymore? Should I strike a JOJO pose and shout, 'I'm not human anymore!'"

"Ding! The Host is currently a Block Person, possessing a datafied body. From the perspective of the usual definition of humans, you are no longer considered human."

Fang Yun thought for a moment, ...Fang Yun failed to think.

Fang Yun decided to use practice to verify the abilities he now possessed.

"Alright, alright. Now it's time to say that phrase: To get rich, first punch a tree!"

Fang Yun looked around.

Fang Yun fell silent.

"..."

"The problem now is, there isn't even a bush around that could be considered a tree. How am I supposed to get rich?"

Fang Yun remained silent.

Then, Fang Yun raised his hand and started punching the ground, "If I can't get rich, trying to dig three and fill one isn't impossible either."

After digging for less than a second, quickly, *pop*, the sand beneath Fang Yun's feet suddenly disappeared, creating a one-cubic-meter space.

Fang Yun fell straight into the pit that appeared beneath his feet, then stood firmly at the bottom of the pit, his legs not even bending.

"Emm, a normal person falling into a pit needs to bend their legs to cushion the impact of landing, but a datafied body, without bending legs, can still cushion the impact generated after landing. Is this datafication? I love it, I love it."

Opening the datafied perspective function, the classic MC interface he was very familiar with appeared before Fang Yun.

"Classic, never outdated."

"Heart-shaped health, chicken leg hunger, quick item bar, and..."

Fang Yun looked at his right hand; he was holding the miniature sand block he had just picked up.

Then, Fang Yun smiled slightly:

"And the expected power of the block law."

"Now, it's truly stable."
