The male supporting character was actually myself.

The StarCraft Assessment Tournament has successfully concluded, and scores are currently being tallied. Alliance captains have the authority to allocate team points, and reward calculations will begin after everyone confirms their final scores.

Upon hearing the notification sound, the little white cat, who was lying down playing games, jumped up and shouted, "Host, get ready and put on your interstellar suit! We don't have time to find a planet to land on!"

When the main system pulls us out, I'll use a trick like "cat scooping the moon" to store the starship in space!

"We spent so much money to buy this military-grade starship, how can we waste it?"

Jiang Chen quickly put on his interstellar suit, and just then, the page for confirming points appeared in front of him.

After the points were tallied, his ranking was far ahead, while his teammate Lu Xinnan successfully completed the task and ranked in the middle.

"She should be able to exchange all the medals for a chance to be reborn by now." Jiang Chen didn't touch the points and clicked "confirm" directly.

[Rewards are being processed, please wait.]

[The host is leaving the mission world...]

[The settlement reward has been issued. Congratulations on winning first place in this assessment competition.]

Prizes: Four medals; a complete set of disposable Grade A items;

Special perk: Temporary resurrection is granted.

Please prepare yourself; the main system is linking, and you will temporarily return to reality to enjoy your resurrection shortly.

Jiang Chen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a severe dizziness that made him feel nauseous.

"Host, I've packed up the starship for you!" The little white cat busied itself happily, quickly hanging a small bundle on one end of a small wooden stick on its shoulder. "We got first place!"

Hahaha, host, you can temporarily revive and return to reality.

Of course I'm about to embark on a fantastic tour of the System Home! See you in a while!

Jiang Chen: ? ? ?

What does "temporary resurrection" mean?

"It means exactly what it says. Your host only bound to me to complete tasks and exchange medals for a chance to be reborn after you've already died, right? This time, we got first place in the assessment competition, so the reward is that you can go back early, but the time is uncertain."

"Maybe at some point the main system will decide that the reward time is enough and pull you back to continue doing tasks and accumulating medals."

After explaining, the little white cat stood up, rubbed against his chin, and meowed, "Host, don't forget me! I'm your soft and cute little white cat. See you again in a while!"

It skipped away, carrying its small bundle, and disappeared. Jiang Chen heard a notification from the main system: [Host is entering the body, please wait...]

Chapter One: I am Jiang Chen, and I'm coming clean.

"Buzz!"

A cell phone suddenly vibrated in the dimly lit room.

Jiang Chen turned over to turn off the alarm, then slowly sat up and stretched.

"Hiss..." He rubbed his temples, feeling a splitting headache.

Jiang Chen got out of bed, put on her slippers, walked to the French windows, and pulled back the thick curtains. The glaring sunlight made it hard for her to open her eyes.

The calendar on my phone shows that today is May 8th, at 6:00 AM.

The short holiday has just ended, and Paradise Street in Angu City, a popular spot for online influencers, is much quieter than it was a few days ago.

But even though the early morning sun was shining brightly on the blooming trees, there were still quite a few early risers noisily taking pictures.

"Beep beep!" The phone beeped with a message notification. Jiang Chen stretched his stiff neck and tapped to check the message.

[Li Chengze: There's a big guy at No. 7 Zuoyou Lane in the western suburbs, hurry!]

[Jiang Chen: Appearance fee, same as always, please wait a moment.]

[Li Chengze: Black face.jpg, blinded by greed!]

He didn't reply to the message, but quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.

As Jiang Chen put on her black coat and stood in front of the mirror by the door fixing her hair, a soft, sweet voice suddenly flashed through her mind, "Host, don't forget me! I'm your soft and cute Xiao Bai, see you again in a while!"

Another sharp pain almost made him lose his balance.

Many fragments flooded into her mind uncontrollably. After a while, Jiang Chen, pale-faced, looked at her familiar face in the mirror. However, the image in the mirror kept changing. Without exception, in every mirror image, there was a small white fluffy ball on her shoulder.

"noob?"

After he tried to organize the fragments he could remember, he suddenly recalled the self-introduction that the fluffy dumpling had given.

Supporting systems; Best Supporting Actor, Death, Accumulating Medals to Exchange for a Rebirth Opportunity, First Place in the Assessment Competition, Temporarily Obtaining a Rebirth Opportunity...

More information flooded into his mind, and Jiang Chen was stunned for a while before realizing that those strange fragments were not a dream!

Did I really die and come back to life?

Instead of rushing out, he turned around, went into the bedroom, turned on his computer, and accessed a monitoring backend.

There were many hidden cameras installed throughout the house, one of which was pointed directly at his bed!

As the ultra-high-definition image zoomed in, Jiang Chen slowly dragged the timeline.

At 9:30 pm, after taking a shower, I lay in bed, read a book for a while, and replied to a few messages.

Turn off the lights and go to sleep at 10:30 sharp.

The surveillance footage switched to high-definition night vision mode.

I slept very well last night; under the camera, I was sound asleep with steady breathing and everything seemed normal.

Fast forward to 2:05 a.m., and Jiang Chen stared at the screen, his pupils contracting involuntarily—he had stopped breathing without warning!

Zoom in again, then rewind one minute and watch it again.

At 2:05:13, I exhaled and then stopped breathing, lying motionless on the bed!

"He really died like that?!" Jiang Chen was deeply shocked.

If the surveillance cameras hadn't recorded everything, he wouldn't have believed that he could have stopped breathing so suddenly!

Fast forward a little bit of the timeline, and after ten minutes, the person on the bed suddenly resumed breathing, but it looked very mechanical, as if an invisible ventilator was maintaining the state required by the body's functions.

From that moment on, his body did not move at all except for breathing.

If he hadn't been able to see that the person was still breathing faintly and that their chest was rising and falling slightly, he would have suspected that the person lying there was dead.

It had no life or vitality; it was just a "corpse" that was still barely breathing.

At 4:30 a.m., a slender gray shadow staggered into the surveillance camera's view. It first bent down and carefully examined the body lying on the bed. Then it summoned another shadow with long, spider-like limbs, which circled the body on the left and right, seemingly doing something.

"A new species? I've never seen this kind of unknown entity before..." Jiang Chen took a picture of the scene. Just thinking about how he had been manipulated and studied by them for a long time last night made him feel a chill.

The two unknown "Spider-Man" figures seemed to be holding some kind of tool, which was not clearly visible even when captured by a high-definition night vision camera and magnified. It looked like a thin, long awl poking around on their foreheads and temples.

After watching, Jiang Chen went to the bathroom and carefully observed the positions that the unknown "Spider-Man" had manipulated in the mirror.

There were no needle marks or redness, and apart from a splitting headache, no other abnormalities were found.

"Beep beep!" The phone rang twice more.

[Li Chengze: The application for the appearance fee has been submitted; the traffic control has also been arranged for you. When can you arrive?]

[Jiang Chen: Let's go.]

[Li Chengze: ...Hurry up!]

Rubbing his still throbbing temples, Jiang Chen quickly went downstairs, took out his bag from the toolbox, went out to drive, and casually placed the siren on the roof of the car. A black SUV then sped off towards the western suburbs, blaring urgent alarms.

When he was close to his destination, he turned off the siren and turned into the alley.

As soon as you turn the corner, you'll see that the entire area is blocked off. On the outer perimeter, traffic police are maintaining traffic and directing vehicles and pedestrians to detour. A little further in, a row of maintenance signs blocks the way, and you can see several people in work clothes working inside.

"It looks like there's a power problem up ahead, they're doing emergency repairs to prevent electric shock, the cars definitely can't get through!" An old man watching the commotion patted his car door and reminded him, "Take advantage of the fact that it's not congested now and turn around quickly, otherwise your big car will definitely get stuck."

Before Jiang Chen could reply, Xiao Zhang, who had already come out to greet him, ran over and said, "Brother Jiang is here! Just park the car here. Go check up ahead, the situation is a bit tricky and not easy to fix."

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Jiang Chen nodded to the kind old man, then got out of the car, carrying a huge tool bag, and followed Xiao Zhang across the warning sign and into the building.

"Oh, he's an electrician!" the old man exclaimed in realization. He then ran to ask the traffic police whether it would affect the electricity supply to nearby residents.

A quick glance behind the warning signs reveals familiar faces; the field operations department of the relevant authorities has difficulty recruiting new people, and they basically know everyone after all these years.

"Brother Jiang!"

Good morning, Xiao Jiang!

"Jiang'er is here!"

"You'll have to work hard again today..."

……

The warm greetings from everyone helped Jiang Chen, who was somewhat out of sorts, to regain his composure and respond to each person.

Those fragments were still active in his mind, popping up from time to time, giving him a strange feeling of being in a dream.

Xiao Zhang led him inside and asked curiously, "Brother Jiang is so capable, why don't you join the security team? If you did, you'd definitely be treated like royalty!"

"Outsiders are better at chanting sutras, but if you actually join the regular staff, you'll be trapped. I'm so free now, as long as the money is right, anything is negotiable. But if I join the security team, I'll be doing more work for the capable." The toolbox in his hand clattered and rattled, all sounds of metal clanging.

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Xiao Zhang whispered, "But there's a guarantee! The equipment and everything else are provided by the higher-ups, and you get a generous salary whether you go on field missions or not. You're young and strong now, and no one can replace you. What if the security team doesn't hire you anymore? You'll have no security when you get old!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle, "For people in our line of work, whether they can even live to old age is a question."

What's more, my appearance fee now is equivalent to your net income for five years, and crafting equipment only costs a few dollars.

As for the security team hiring me, that's out of the question. Do you know that I provided detailed information on over 60% of the unknown entities in the database?

Xiao Zhang: Stunned.jpg

"What nonsense are you gossiping about?" Li Chengze, who had been waiting impatiently, glared at Xiao Zhang. "We finally caught him, why don't you ask him something useful?"

Xiao Zhang shrank his neck and quickly ran to the side to wait for orders.

Li Chengze is about 1.88 meters tall, slightly taller than Jiang Chen. He has a fair and handsome face, wears black-rimmed glasses and a tailored, well-tailored suit, and at first glance, he has the air of a domineering CEO.

"You don't look well, are you alright?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Is it that obvious?"

"It's like overindulging in sex and not sleeping all night."

"You know so much?" He grinned mischievously and teased, "Looks like Captain Li often overindulges and doesn't sleep all night."
