“All right, we’re here!”

“We’re here?” David Thompson asked in confusion. “Xiao Si just brought me here. Who doesn’t know about Star Tower?”

“Of course everyone knows Star Tower, but have you ever been inside, Class Monitor?”

“How could I go in? Don’t you need a work permit to get in?”

“We’re going to sneak in.” Brian Carter pulled David Thompson inside. Weren’t they supposed to sneak in? Why were they swaggering in so openly now?

David Thompson followed behind Brian Carter, his heart pounding.

In this society bound by law and morality, everyone harbors a bit of rebelliousness in their hearts.

Some people restrain themselves and live like ordinary people outside of prison, while others fail to restrain themselves and end up living a criminal’s life inside prison.

As a model student, David Thompson naturally had a bit of rebellion too. From the initial anxiety of skipping school, he eventually even felt a hint of excitement.

Arriving at the building’s front desk, David Thompson was already prepared to be thrown out. But after Brian Carter muttered a few words, the receptionist actually let Brian Carter into the building.

“Class Monitor, what are you standing there for? Hurry up!” David Thompson followed with his little backpack. “Hey, hey, Xiao Si, why did the pretty receptionist let you in?”

“That’s easy. I used my handsome-guy strategy. With my world-class good looks, of course I dazzled the receptionist and she let us in.” Brian Carter shamelessly bragged about himself.

“Tch.” David Thompson wrinkled his nose. “Handsome? More like a cricket!”

“So where are we going now?”

“Of course, to the eighteenth floor.” Star Tower had thirty-seven floors in total, with many companies inside.

Brian Carter and David Thompson got into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighteenth floor. The elevator slowly ascended.

“Ding!”

Eighteenth floor. They got out of the elevator.

Chapter 2: This World

To put it simply, Brian Carter wasn’t originally from this world—in other words, what the internet calls transmigration.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary guy, a homebody who liked to talk big online, all talk and no action, only daring to make bold statements on the internet.

Average looks, average job, average family background—all of this led to Brian Carter still being a virgin in his thirties. Of course, he’d had plenty of “girlfriends,” but only online. In real life, every time they met, it was a disaster.

Although Brian Carter wanted to lose his virginity, he was powerless to change his fate. He’d even considered going to a massage parlor, but soon firmed up his resolve and couldn’t get past that hurdle in his heart.

He wasn’t hit by a car, struck by lightning, or drunk. He just woke up in bed and, for no reason, found himself in this world.

At first, he thought it was reincarnation, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t that simple.

The year was 2012, but when he transmigrated, it was 2013. In other words, only a year’s difference. If it were reincarnation, he should be thirty-two, not fourteen.

Soon, while surfing the internet, Brian Carter discovered something else very strange.

This world seemed to have never experienced World War II and was very peaceful. As a result, people’s pursuit of art was much higher, and the entertainment and literary industries were exceptionally developed.

Of course, another reason for this phenomenon was that this world cracked down on piracy with ruthless determination, especially intellectual property. China was no longer a nation of knockoffs.

When Brian Carter first arrived in this world, he wanted to download a couple of 3GP movies to watch on his phone, but to his surprise, there was no piracy online. In the end, he had no choice but to pay for downloads from official sites.

In this world, America was still a global superpower, the Oscars and Grammys still existed, and Los Angeles was still the world’s entertainment center. However, China’s international status had improved a lot—at least there was no such thing as the Senkaku Islands.

Although the entertainment and literary industries were so developed here, some famous people and classics from Earth simply didn’t exist.

He was shocked when he checked: Where were the King of Pop Elvis, MJ, and Justin Bieber?

Where were the beloved Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne?

The three “Gods of Song” Sam Hui, Jacky Cheung, and Eason Chan were also missing. Comics, songs, novels—everything was very lacking. In other words, this place was only very similar to his previous Earth, but definitely not the same world.

He had transmigrated to another world, but his name was still the same, and this body was indeed his fourteen-year-old self. His parents were also the same as in his previous life. This was the only comforting thing—after all, asking a man with the heart of a thirty-two-year-old uncle to accept strangers as his parents would be extremely difficult.

“Hey, hey, Xiao Si, what are we doing here?” David Thompson tugged at Brian Carter’s sleeve.

The eighteenth floor was another company. The employees there wore sharp suits or stylish office attire, very pleasing to the eye. However, Brian Carter and David Thompson stood out—they were only fourteen and both carried little backpacks.

“Little brothers, who are you looking for?” The receptionist didn’t look down on them because of their age, but instead asked very professionally.
