Chapter 1: The Decathlete from the Future

  Shangguan Nengren is a high school student, already seventeen years old, but still likes to fantasize like a child, always thinking that in the future he will win 5 million yuan in the lottery, drive a BMW, wear a Rolex, order two bowls of soy milk at once and drink one bowl while pouring another...

  Although these are all his random thoughts when he was caught by the teacher for daydreaming in class and had to stand, going to school is really tiring! Getting up earlier than a chicken, sleeping later than a dog, 16 hours out of 24 hours a day are spent studying, even working doesn't have such an inhumane schedule. Sometimes he really wants to slap the smug face of the class teacher and then pretend to be cool, dropping a sentence: "Go to hell, I'm not going to school!" Finally, he turns around and leaves, leaving behind his own legendary story on campus...

  But considering his mother's eager expectations, Old Dad's ruthless big stick, Shangguan Nengren still endured.

  It's not easy to finally get to the summer vacation before senior high school, and every time at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Shangguan Nengren would stretch his waist, look up at the sky and sigh: "This is a heavenly day!"

  But summer vacation has passed for more than a month, and the large amount of accumulated homework makes Officer Nengren Li Shan Da.

  "What a hellish day!"

  The TV and computer at home always made Xiaoguan unable to calm down, which also annoyed Dad. With a big stick, he was beaten out of the house: "Go to the library to finish writing, otherwise don't come back!"

  Walking along the road with a backpack, looking worried and unhappy, North China's August can be scorching hot, especially at noon, the temperature is almost always around 40 degrees Celsius. Officer Wang, like a dog, stuck out his tongue and bought a bottle of chilled mineral water from a roadside drink stall. The icy mineral water slid down his throat, and the heat in his body was instantly cooled down.

  "Ah! Comfortable!" Shang Guan Nengren gradually regained his vitality, his waist no longer ached, his legs no longer hurt, and he had the energy to walk again.

  "Accompany you to watch the meteor shower, hit your head, I'm laughing and hehe beside...". Humming the modified lyrics of his classmates, Shang Guan Nengren looked up at the sky, but couldn't see anything except for the evil sun.

  "Huh?" The sky seemed to have a black dot, getting closer and closer, still a black dot. Ouyang Nian's eyes widened in shock, this black dot seemed to be heading straight for him?

  "Not good!" Just as Officer Nengren reacted, it was already too late. The black dot landed squarely on his head, and soon everything went black. Before losing consciousness, Officer Nengren cursed in his heart: the lyrics said "smash your head", not "smash my head" ahhhhh!!!!!

  ……

  "Decathlon" detects installation environment, meets requirements, starts installing...

  "Deca-Installation successful, host physique weak, starting repair..."

  "Repair completed, start inputting the functional specification book of 'Decathlon'..."

  "Input complete, Decathlon mode activated!"

  Shangguan Nengren's whole body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes. The white ceiling came into view, and the strong smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils. His right hand felt a bit swollen, and he gently lifted it up.

  "Damn! Who stuck a needle in my brother's hand?"

  Shangguan Nengren made this move, and a familiar cry came from beside him: "Son, you're awake!"

  "Mom?" Xiang Guan Neng turned his head to see his mother's haggard face, and exclaimed in surprise: "Mom, how are you here? What happened to me?"

  Her mother's eyes turned red, wiping away the tears that overflowed from her eyes, and choked: "You got heatstroke, it's all your father's fault! He shouldn't have driven you out at noon, that old man won't die, wait till I scold him!"

  "Sunstroke?" Officer Wang groggily sat up and asked, "Mom, how long have I been lying here?"

  "It's already been a day, son. How are you feeling now?" The mother asked with concern as she reached out to support him, but the moment her hands touched OuGuan NengRen's skin, he suddenly froze, and a notification sound echoed in his mind.

  "Found F-class cooking skills, will absorb?"

  Yeah, brother has been lying down for a bit too long, it's all just an illusion.

  "Mom, I'm fine, just a bit hungry. Let's get out of here! I want to go home and eat."

  A day without food, children who are growing up can't afford to be hurt!

  His mother burst into tears and smiled, patted Xiang Nian's head: "Wait, mom will go call the doctor."

  After a while, the doctor walked into the ward, checked the situation of Shang Guan Neng, nodded: "No problem, go home and rest, drink more water, it's too hot these days, many people have heatstroke."

  "Thank you, doctor, I've troubled you." My mother is a honest person and speaks very politely.

  The doctor smiled and personally removed the needle from Shang Guan's body, making skin contact.

  "Found F-class medical skills, will absorb?"

  "Huh?" Officer Shang rubbed his temples, was this also an illusion?

  "Absorb."

  "Absorption successful, host possesses the first of ten all-around abilities - Medical Skills! Current level: F-grade."

  As the absorption succeeded, a large amount of medical knowledge suddenly flooded into Shang Guan Neng's mind, including both Chinese and Western medicine. However, Shang Guan Neng did not feel any discomfort in his head; this feeling was natural and effortless, as if he had originally possessed these abilities.

  Feeling that he had a certain level of medical skills, Shang Guan's eyes were dull and his mind was filled with the contents of the instruction manual for "Ten Items of All-Purpose Use".

  "Decathlon" is a game system invented by the genius child prodigy Shang Guanren in the year 4329, which, after binding with the host, will have the ability to absorb ten items through its devouring function.

  "After the birth of "Decathlon", due to the ease of generating flying thieves and super thieves through the system's absorption function, it was restricted by the federal government. All listed systems were destroyed, and the capable person was also closely monitored, eventually leading to dissatisfaction among the capable people. Using a miniature time device, the last "Decathlon" system was sent back in time, set so that only those under 18 years old, named 'lower-class people', 'turtle', 'declining people' could use it."

  "After more than 2300 years of time reversal, a suitable host was finally found in 2012."

  "Shangguan Nengren, born in 1995, 17 years old, height 173cm, IQ trash, physical quality trash, no special talent, sloppy and disorderly, listening to heaven's fate, getting by, lower-class person among lower-class people, turtle among turtles, declining person among declining people, all conditions meet the 'Ten Items Full' boarding conditions, has successfully boarded."

  "Decathlon" has ten major options to choose from, and the host can freely decide which project to absorb. Each ability is divided into seven levels: f, e, d, c, b, a, and s, with f being the lowest and s being the highest. Currently, the host's comprehensive ability value is f, and only when all ten options reach f level can they absorb the next stage's e-level ability, and so on.

  On the way back home from the hospital, Shangguan Nian was in a daze, drooling, and had fainted. When he arrived home, smelling the aroma of food, he finally came to his senses.

  "My god! Has Ge become rich?!?" The all-around talent is simply a superhuman system, and Shangguan Nengren was excitedly flushed with excitement, punching the air with force, as if he wanted to find someone to fight.

  He hastily used his consciousness to check his first ability - Medical Skills.

  Medical skills are a major category, with four sub-items: internal medicine, surgery, pharmacology, and pharmacy. Only when all four abilities reach level F can medical skills reach level F. The doctor who gave Upper Official the acupuncture treatment had all four abilities at level F, which is why Upper Official was able to successfully absorb a major category.

  Thinking of medical skills, Shangguan Nian suddenly remembered the F-level culinary skill that he hadn't absorbed at first.

  He took a look at his cooking skills and saw that the absorption option was still available. Upper Official Nengren hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stamped his foot: "Absorb!"

  These days, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach. Don't believe me? Just take a look at those new-generation chefs - the chefs themselves may not be much to look at, but their wives are all stunning beauties. This is the power of good food, no less effective than money.

  "Absorption successful, host possesses F-class culinary skills. As culinary skills belong to the sub-item of 'Food God', the second major item 'Food God' is unlocked."

  Food God?

  Shangguan Nengren immediately took a look at the sub-items behind Food God, and compared with the four small items of Medical Skills, Food God only had three small items: Cooking, Brewing, and Desserts.

  It seems that the number of sub-items under each of the ten major items is not the same, but this makes it more interesting.

  Two big items have been opened, and there are still eight big items left. The superior can think about it, what should the remaining eight big items choose?

  Hitman? No way, too dangerous.

  Special abilities? Not bad, but does such a thing exist in this world?

  President? This is also a major capability? You have gone too far.

  What a headache!

  "Son, dinner is ready." His mother's call broke into Nangong Buzhi's thoughts.

  Heaven is big, earth is big, but eating is the biggest, fill your belly first and talk later!

  "Ah! Here it comes."

  Shang Guan Nengren's family home was an economically affordable house applied for a few years ago, on the sixth floor, with two rooms and one living room, a small sixty-square-meter apartment. The large room belongs to his parents, and the small room belongs to Shang Guan Nengren. For this house, his parents spent all their savings over the past decade or so, but being able to own a completely self-owned house in the downtown area of Huabei City, the three members of the Shang family are still very satisfied.

  To supplement her son's energy, the mother specially made four dishes and one soup. The four dishes were tomato scrambled eggs, cucumber scrambled eggs, cold mixed tomatoes, and cold mixed cucumbers. The soup was tomato and cucumber egg drop soup.

  Shangguan Ruo: "......"

  Forget it, F-class cooking skills are just at this level.

  After eating a meal at an inappropriate time in the afternoon, Mother brought over two walnuts: "Son, it's time to nourish your brain."

  Shangguan Nengren's IQ is quite ordinary, and he doesn't study hard either. Since high school, he has basically been at the bottom of his class. However, Shangguan Nengren is very good at pretending. In front of his parents, he always acts as if he studies well and is making progress every day (except during holidays). This makes his parents anxious. Later on, they heard that eating walnuts can improve one's brainpower, so from then on, Shangguan Nengren was fixed to eat four walnuts every day.

  "Again with the supplements!" Officer Neng's face twisted in distaste. Eating something every day without stopping for over a year would make anyone want to vomit, and now just hearing the words "walnut" made him feel nauseous. But his mother's gaze was too...whatever, it was impossible to resist.

  Shangguan Neng took the walnut and stood up: "I'll go inside to eat."

  "Remember to use a hammer, not your pencil case." His mother reminded him, and Shang Guan Nian lazily responded with a "got it". In the past, in order to show off his individuality, Shang Guan Nian would often use his metal pencil case to crack open walnuts. As a result, the walnut remained intact, but the pencil case became a mangled mess. After getting a good scolding from his father, Shang Guan Nian never dared to use ignorance as a form of individuality again.
