Chapter 1: Traffic jam?

As an ordinary homebody, Zhang Lan was quite content with his current life and rarely complained.

During the day, he worked happily, and at night, he transformed into an online writer, steadily writing and saving drafts for his readers.

Although he wasn't famous yet, he believed in his future potential.

But now, he was a bit annoyed.

His phone popped up a page flashing with blue and red mosaics, titled "Naruto World Travel Through."

That wasn't the point. The point was the YES button on the page flashing wildly, with cheap special effects of barrage flying over—click to enter, take you through.

Travel through your sister!

These programmers are getting more and more shameless!

After complaining in his mind, he wanted to click the NO button, but his finger hovered in the air for a long time, never landing.

Was the NO button eaten by the programmers?

This… forcing a good for prostitution?

I'm not convinced!

Rubbing his eyes, he brought his face closer to the screen, his eyes wide open.

Finally, he found a super small cross button in the lower right corner of the window, a blue-framed red image that blended perfectly with the background.

You think you can fight your grandpa?

With deep pride, he unhesitatingly clicked the cross button to close the page.

The screen flashed black, vibrated inexplicably a few times, then lit up again, and a line of white on black emerged.

Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want—a more exciting life?

This… a scheming Boy!

With resignation to the game programmers, Zhang Lan pressed one of the YES buttons with his thumb.

A terrifying thing happened.

His… his phone interface… turned into… a flickering battery.

This is the phone's charging interface.

"So boring, someone actually plays this trick?"

Complaining, he didn't realize that the phone in his hand went from 0% to 100% battery, and the charging program still didn't plan to stop, which resulted in…

"Bang!"

"Does Sanxin Company also have a military factory that specializes in producing bombs?"

…

Of course, Zhang Lan had no chance to see these, and he couldn't care about them at the moment.

He found that he still had some consciousness, but maybe he had a concussion because he felt a voice in his mind kept talking.

[Beep, host detected, meets the conditions. System authentication in progress… System authentication complete.]

[Beep, encountered an unknown obstacle, new route planning in progress… New route has been planned…]

[Beep, encountered an unknown obstacle, new route planning in progress… New route has been planned…]

[Beep, encountered an unknown obstacle, new route planning in progress… System energy insufficient, not enough to land in the 'Naruto' world.]

[Beep, emergency system mechanism activated, randomly selecting target world…]

[Beep, arrived at Marvel, one-time travel system self-destructing… Self-destruction complete, please issue new instructions to the host.]

Could it be… Baidu is wrong?

After a long time of "traffic jam" in his mind, he felt very tired and was about to fall asleep when a cold wind blew, shaking his newly recovered body, and a musty smell drilled straight into his nose.

The sleepiness instantly dissipated.

"It's so cold, it stinks."

Tiredly opening his eyes, he wanted to stand up, but found that his body did not obey his commands, or rather, his body could not complete the instructions issued by his brain.

Blinking, he looked down at his body, a movement that was usually very simple but now felt like using all his strength, very laborious.

Zhang Lan saw his naked body, small limbs, and undeveloped little Zhang Lan.

"What's going on? How did I become a baby, and a naked baby at that?" His mind was confused at the moment.

After calming down for a long time, he gradually accepted the fact. He looked around and knew the source of the stench that had been drilling into his nose.

The smell of the trash can was naturally not pleasant.

"What is this ghost? Is it the 'system' I heard just now?" He guessed wildly.

[Beep, the host's current situation is indeed caused by the system.] A plain voice sounded in his mind.

"Who? Who's talking? What system?" Zhang Lan was startled.

[Beep, hello host, it's the system replying to your question.]

"System? What system? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How many people are in the family? How many fields are in the family? Uh… um?"

[Beep, the system's full name is 'Naruto World Travel Game System,' abbreviated as the system, coming from the place where the system was made, originally intended to go to the 'Naruto World,' but due to insufficient energy, it stayed in 'Marvel.' The system does not have a home, so there are no family members or fields.]

"Naruto World Travel Game System? Could it be? Damn… System, am I traveling through? And to Marvel?" Zhang Lan finally realized.

"Let me digest this…" Zhang Lan's mind was a bit chaotic, he needed to calm down.

After a long time, although he still hadn't sorted out his thoughts, the biting cold wind told him that there was something more important now.

"System, why did I become a naked baby and appear in a trash can?" Zhang Lan needed to understand his situation.

[Beep, the system encountered unknown obstacles multiple times during the crossing, and after multiple turns, the stored energy was not enough to support reaching 'Naruto,' so it randomly selected the 'Marvel' world, currently only 1 energy point left.]

"Multiple encounters with obstacles? Multiple turns? Insufficient stored energy? You're running out of gas and changing routes, right? No energy then recharge! Add gasoline?"

[Beep, warning, system energy is about to run out and will shut down, using emergency measures.]

[Beep, considering the host is too weak, a novice gift pack is issued, issuing… Novice gift pack issued.]

[Beep, issuing a novice task.

Effort before adulthood: Please recharge energy for the system before the host's legal age of adulthood, to meet the system's boot conditions.]

[Beep, system energy exhausted, shutting down the system… Good luck to the host, have a happy life.]

[Beep, the system is closed.]

What the hell?

Is the system… dead?

Before he had time to complain, a bunch of information was stuffed into his mind, including the basic hand seals for ninjutsu, the application of chakra, the sequence of hand seals for the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, etc.

The body of a baby was already fragile, and after shivering in the cold wind for a long time, he was already exhausted. With a bunch of information stuffed into his brain, his spirit was even more tired, and his numb body suddenly felt a huge pain, and Zhang Lan passed out without resistance.

When he woke up again, he didn't know how long it had passed, but fortunately, he was no longer in the trash can, but freshly washed in a baby cradle.

Seeing no one around, Zhang Lan didn't make a fuss, and after calling the system silently several times to no avail, he could only start sorting out the so-called novice gift pack.

Simply put, it was a Chakra Extraction Technique, a Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, and an inexplicable physique transformation, which seemed to be the source of the huge pain before fainting, a transformation, which sounded like dissecting a lab rat.

—Really TM stingy! ! !

Other protagonists in novels get Sharingan, Saint Seiya bloodline, Devil Fruit, etc., as soon as they enter, but why does he only have such basic stuff?

"I must be the poorest traveler in history, right?" Zhang Lan thought to himself.

Suddenly, Zhang Lan's expression tightened, and he was no longer quiet, but started crying loudly, "Waah wa wa!" He had no choice, his vocal cords had not developed yet, and he could only attract people this way.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, a young white woman came into Zhang Lan's view, comforting Zhang Lan in English, clumsily picking him up, but Zhang Lan was anxiously patting the white woman, crying even more urgently.

She wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong, after all, how could a newborn baby know what it means to be weary of life.

A normal baby certainly wouldn't, but Zhang Lan would at the moment, because… he just wet his pants!

So embarrassing, he didn't know how many years it had been since he was weaned, and now he was experiencing the feeling of wetting his pants again…

He felt… he was going to poop!
