AUTHOR'S POV: LIN CHEN.
"Ruthless... I just told you the damn truth. I guess something is wrong with the guys here. Why would I be killed for another man's debt? Hey." He said.
"JUST SURVIVE, OKAY. THIS IS YOUR FIRST TASK, MAKE SURE YOU STAY ALIVE TO GET YOUR POINTS "
"I plan on doing just that." He said, cracking his knuckles.
"Bastard!!" One of them shouted while running towards him.
*They're about five, I guess I can do this.* He thought, immediately dodging the attack.
*He's fast.* the man said, turning around immediately.
*Although I was a failure as a martial artist, I did raise my agility back then, but those aren't any special against other cultivators. They just help me escape at the most crucial time.* he thought.
"Sleep." He said, tapping the man on his shoulder.
*Huh? When did he get here?!* the man thought before falling to the floor.
*I guess that works, but I can't use it again.* Lin Chen thought as another person ran towards him.
*Activate the martial skill.*
There was a countdown showing on the screen.
"29"
"Hia!!!" Chen shouted, jumping and kicking him on the head.
"Poof...!!" the man screamed, spinning while blood gushed out of his mouth.
*Whoa, that was strong.* He thought, grinning to himself.
"You've beat two of our guys. We won't go easy on you." Another said as he and one other skinny guy ran towards Lin Chen.
"Come on! come on!" He shouted excitedly while running towards them.
*I've always... wanted to be able to fight this way.* He thought smiling.
*But... Dad can't see me now.* He thought, banging their heads together before running towards the last person.
"Go to hell!!" He shouted before kicking his ear.
"@#^*%^%!!!!" The man said, spinning and landing on a big box.
*What the hell did he just say?* He thought, landing smoothly on the floor.
"Haha, they are just a bunch of pitiful suckers!" He shouted while laughing.
"NO THEY AREN'T, YOU ARE JUST STRONGER."
"Yeah, whatever." He said, whistling while walking out of the scene.
"So, where am I to live?" He asked while walking around aimlessly.
"THE BUILDING BY YOUR RIGHT."
"The building by my... eh!!!!"
"HE HE"
"This place looks so abandoned. Why do I get to live here?" He asked, looking at the building to his right.
"YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY IT ISN'T A RENTED APARTMENT, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE STREET."
"I don't get how a human can live in such a place. Well, who cares, I'm so tired I'll get some rest." He said, walking towards the building.
"No food to eat here, no bed here. Did he sell them all, or is he just poor?" He asked, sitting on the floor.
"THAT'S HOW IT'S BEEN FOR HIM FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS."
"Huh..." He said nonchalantly while picking his nose.
"What's with this stuff in this weird package?" He asked, picking an object.
"THAT'S THE STUFF HE EATS MOST OF THE TIME, IT'S A SNACK."
"Oh... mm." He said, throwing a ball in his mouth.
"WAIT YOU'RE ALREADY EATING IT?!!!""
"What? I'm supposed to, right?"
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN"
"How does he make money anyway, since he has no one taking care of him."
"OH MY GOD!! I JUST REMEMBERED!!"
"NOTICE ‼️‼️THE HOST HAS COMPLETED HIS FIRST TASK "
"I'm getting quite confused here. Who's the system between the two of you?"
"WE ARE ONE PERSON "
"Hmm... doesn't seem like one just keeps talking trash about one Lin Chen guy and the other talks about tasks and others."
"YOU FOOL!! WELL, PART OF THAT IS MY FAULT. I GIVE YOU THE INSTRUCTIONS TOO, MAYBE I'LL TRY DIFFERENTIATING OUR VOICES."
"Mm... do whatever you can."
"Okay, how's this?" The system asked.
"Whoa... Nice."
"THE REWARD FOR THE COMPLETED TASK: ONE LUCKY DRAW AND 1000 POINTS. DELIVERED TO YOUR INVENTORY."
"Whoa!! I completed the task." He said, tapping the screen.
"Here's your inventory. You can find whatever you receive after rewards here." It said as he tapped the inventory.
"I'll try drawing first." He said, tapping the spin arrow.
"Don't get your hopes up. You might just get 10 points at most."
"Two extra draws? I don't exactly get what this means, but I'll just spin again." He said, trying again.
"*H-huh?!!*"
"Oh... access to the market, don't I already have one?" He asked.
"Th-that one is for improving your strength, this one can help in your everyday life."
"Oh... it's level 1... I see."
"Yes, you can keep improving it."
"Well, thank you. I'll have to spin later, I'm getting quite tired. I can't believe I have to stay in this stress-free world." He said, yawning.
"Don't be too excited. The danger is ahead. You already annoyed the guys from Drop Bar "
"Yeah, yeah, they just have to come find me."
"*This host is quite cocky.*"
"Wait!!!!!!! I just realised!!!!"
"What's up? System guy?"
"You'll be having your first exam tomorrow, and it's English!! You have no sense and can't write the exam."
"You're quite insulting... system-kun💢"
"I'm sorry, but it's true in a way."
"What's there? I can just pass. I mustn't write."
"YOU JUST TRIGGERED A MISSION!! GET THE BEST RESULT IN YOUR CLASS!!! REWARD: 20000 POINTS"
"Uuuu... now we're talking. But what would I do?!"
"Go read or something."
"Poo... I want a quiet life." He said, pouting.
"Your life will be quite disturbing if you fail the exam."
"Let's see the market first." He said, tapping the screen.
"Bah... you won't be able to find any skills for education there. Even if you had some kind of extra cheat skill."
"Wow, for 1000 points, oh... there's a 50% discount. So that's... um..."
"What?!!!!! How is that there?! And 50% off will be 500 points paid to get it."
"YOU GOT THE SKILL: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER"
"You just went and tapped it without waiting for me to finish speaking"
"You're a grown kid. Don't wet your pants."
"ARE you a moron?"
"2+2 is 4."
"Observation is spelt O-B-S-E-R-V-A-T-I-O-N."
"Don't start acting all intelligent all of a sudden!!!!!"
"Wow, I'm beginning to know things I usually don't know."
"*He's just a moron🤦*"
"I'll pass that exam and get a free life! Yay!!"
