Chapter 1: Right Now, I Just Want to Start a Business

The scorching sun blazed overhead.

On the fifth floor of an old building in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, Brian Carter rubbed his dazed head, got up, and walked to the balcony to look down. What he saw was an old yet bustling street scene.

The street below was lively, full of people and cars.

"Did I just transmigrate?"

"Mall?"

As he withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself, a semi-transparent panel appeared before him, visible only to himself.

Heavens Mall.

One year of lifespan, 1 million yuan (after age 100, the price increases based on specific years).

+1 Strength, 100,000 yuan (can be purchased repeatedly).

Master-level Bajiquan, 20,000 yuan.

A brick phone, 20,000 yuan.

…………

Wheel Technique, 30,000 yuan.

A can of Jianlibao, 2 yuan.

+1 Speed, 100,000 yuan (can be purchased repeatedly).

His cheat was simple: a pure Heavens Mall, where spending money could buy all sorts of good things, and the items on display would update over time.

Brian Carter was quite tempted by many things in the mall. For example, master-level Bajiquan? Could martial arts at that level really be that powerful?

You could even buy lifespan? +1 Strength for 100,000??

As he thought this, the mall panel automatically switched to display Brian Carter's information.

Host: Brian Carter, 18 years old.

Strength: 12 (average adult male is 10).

Speed: 8 (average... is 10).

Endurance: 11 (average adult male is 10).

So he transmigrated, and at 1.83 meters tall, his speed was actually below the average adult male?? Luckily, his strength and endurance were above average.

But it was worth it. Before transmigrating, Brian Carter was a good-for-nothing fat otaku born in the 90s, just over 30 years old, habitually slacking off.

Now, after transmigrating, he was back at 18?? His beer belly and receding hairline had both disappeared.

The only thing that left him helpless was that, as a 90s kid, he was the only child in his family and hadn't really supported his aging parents yet?? His parents were still alive.

Could he go back?

While Brian Carter was still pondering, he heard a knock at the door. After shaking his head and walking over to open it, he was surprised to find a young man of about 30 standing outside, with a somewhat dull and honest demeanor, who looked very familiar??

While he was still confused, the young man walked in as if he were at home, carrying a takeout box in his hand. "Aliang, are you really not going to continue your studies? You just finished Form 5, and your grades are pretty good. Now's the time to study hard and try to get into a good university."

"I can't do what Eric Grant did, sending his younger siblings to study abroad in North America and Japan, but if you keep studying and get into HKU, whether you study law to become a lawyer or medicine to become a doctor, you'll be the pride of our family."

As soon as he entered, the young man started nagging, automatically opening the takeout bag, taking out two bowls of noodles, soup, and a plate of stir-fried greens. Brian Carter was as dumbfounded as a 160-pound kid.

Who was this?

Just as his confusion began, a flood of information from the mall poured in—this was his new identity in this transmigrated world? Wow, this new identity...

In this world, he actually had a solid background: from Nandu in the mainland, his parents had died in an accident a few years ago, leaving him alone. When his aunt and uncle found out, they brought him to Hong Kong Island to raise him and even got him a Hong Kong ID. Uncle David Clark and aunt Laura Clark ran a noodle shop called Cai Kee on Hong Kong Island, just ordinary working-class folks, with a 30-year-old son, John Clark, who was still single.

No wonder this honest-looking young man was so familiar—he had transmigrated into the world of (Genesis)!

The apartment Brian Carter was living in now was rented for him by David Clark and Laura Clark, because he and the family on the third floor below, the Eric Bennett family, and the youngest, Grace Bennett, attended the same secondary school.

He had finished Form 5 and wasn't going to school anymore after the summer break. Grace Bennett planned to keep studying and eventually study abroad in Japan, continuing into Form 6.

A flood of information flashed through his mind. Brian Carter walked over and, acting just as familiar, sat down and picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat. "I'm not studying anymore. Right now, I just want to make money!"

He had transmigrated, and it was actually Hong Kong in 1990—a world where gold was everywhere, a place where you could practically pick up money off the ground...

And he had the mall, where you could even buy lifespan!

Why bother with school? All he wanted now was to make money. Of all the things refreshed in the mall, what did he want most? Definitely not the Wheel Technique.

The nagging John Clark was stunned, staring at him blankly. "You really need money?"

Brian Carter nodded. "I've been in school from Form 1 to Form 5, and my aunt has paid for everything. Now that I'm an adult, I have to earn my own money."
