Chapter 1: A System’s Sudden Arrival

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xiao Luo blearily regained consciousness and found himself lying on a hospital bed. The strong odor of disinfectant permeated the air.

“This is….. a hospital? Why am I in a hospital?”

Xiao Luo frowned, feeling extremely puzzled. But his brain, which had recovered its functions, quickly told him everything.

After his girlfriend, Zhao Mengqi, broke up with him, he drove his cheap domestic car to the suburbs, where he sped down the road to vent his emotions.

It had been raining earlier, and the road was slick. Moreover, it was late at night. He very unluckily got into an accident. The car, which was going more than 120 miles an hour, careened off the road and plunged headfirst down a three-meter drop into farmland. He could not remember anything after that and did not know who was the good Samaritan who had found and brought him to the hospital. That was the only reason he was still alive.

Creak.

At that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a sweet-looking nurse carrying a tray of liquid medications walked in.

“Ahhh.”

When she saw that Xiao Luo had awakened and was sitting up, frowning in contemplation, she immediately cried out in alarm. The liquid medications in her hands crashed to the ground and spilled all over the floor. She looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were wide open, and she pointed at Xiao Luo with her trembling right hand and stammered, “You, you, you…. how are you awake?”

Xiao Luo didn’t know what was going on and thought in his mind, Is this nurse new? If not, why is she having such an intense reaction to seeing a patient who had awakened?

He looked up and down at himself and then from left to the right. Afterward, he spread his hands and said, “This is obvious.” He asked carefully, “Is there… anything wrong?”

“How could you have awakened? There’s no way that you could have you awakened, how…..”

The nurse still looked as if she had seen a ghost; her eyes and delicate mouth were wide open. She stared at Xiao Luo with an incredulous expression. It seemed that she could not believe the facts that were in front of her eyes.

No way he could have awakened!

Xiao Luo really felt a little stumped; he did not understand why the nurse would say such a thing.

Just as he was about to ask her a question, the nurse turned her head and ran out. Her hysterical shrieking echoed down the corridor, “Dr. Zhang, this is bad. The patient in Ward 438 is awake!”

Just what was happening?

Xiao Luo was at a total loss. He could not figure out the reason for the situation. Besides, he was speechless about his ward number: “438” was not an auspicious number; its homonym was “damned fool.”

At this moment, a series of system notifications suddenly sounded in his mind, the tone of which was just like the system voice of a popular online game, “League of Legends.” This also was the highly-modulated voice of a female with an expansive and exaggerated quality.

“DING. Congratulations! You’ve earned ten points. Would you like to open the mall to proceed with redemption?”

Xiao Luo sucked in a breath of fresh air. What motherf*cking situation was this?

As a new youth of the twenty-first century, he could not believe such an outrageous thing could happen. This simply went against all common sense.

He thought he was hallucinating, perhaps the result of a concussion, but then a lighted panel appeared before his eyes. It was like a high-tech resume that showed a series of information about him.

Host: Xiao Luo

Age: 26

Points: 10 points

Current Identity: Huahai Corporation employee

Level of Current State: Mediocre

…

What? M… Mediocre?

Seeing this, Xiao Luo immediately returned to himself. He found this unacceptable and thought, In any case, I’m still an engineer of Huahai Manufacturing Corporation. If even engineers are considered mediocre, no one in this world is not mediocre!

It seemed that the system had heard the thoughts in his mind, and its notification tone sounded again, “Ding! Host, your ability to communicate in foreign languages ​​is poor, and your body is in a sickly condition. In terms of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics, you are no good in any of those. What are you if not mediocre.”

F*ck you!

Xiao Luo had an outstanding temperament, but his capacity for tolerance had reached its limits. At this moment, he could not help but spit out another swear word. Then he asked, “What the hell are you?”

“Ding! I’m called the Genius System Without Equal, and I come from a parallel universe that is a hundred billion light-years away,” the system’s voice responded.

“Parallel universe?”

Xiao Luo’s shock could not be put into words. The facts in front of him forced him to believe the words spoken by this invisible and intangible system. Because he already knew the concept of a parallel universe, he subconsciously asked, Is there an Earth there too?

“Ding! Of course, but the level of technology there is a hundred thousand years ahead!”

F*ck me!

For a short time, Xiao Luo’s brain could not accept what he was hearing. A level of science and technology that was a hundred thousand years ahead? What kind of scene would it be? The humans there had probably escaped the cycle of rebirth and death through the power of science and technology.

“Ding! I arrived at this universe because of the chaotic flow in time and space. I became a parasite in you who was on the verge of death. I’ll especially give you a free life extension!”

Xiao Luo was astounded. With his IQ, he immediately understood why the nurse had lost her composure when she saw that he had awakened.

So that was the reason. I wasn’t supposed to wake up so quickly, but I did because of the life-extension from the system. In other words, Xiao Luo came to after being diagnosed by a doctor as a hopeless case. The nurse’s overreaction made sense in this light.

His mind felt more at ease when he figured this out. He changed the topic by asking, “What else can you do for me besides extending my life?”

“Ding! This system can build you into a genius without equal.”

“A genius without equal? Is it that some kind of freak who knows everything?” Xiao Luo asked.

“Ding! You could say!”

“What’s the price?” Xiao Luo didn’t believe in free lunches.

“Ding! By using points to redeem various abilities in the mall, the more applicable the abilities are, the more points are needed.”

After the system’s introduction, the light panel changed to show the mall; various abilities were packed in the display. There were foreign language abilities, gaming abilities, memory abilities, and more. Xiao Luo couldn’t take them all in at a glance.

After looking through it once, he felt like cursing. Among the thousands of abilities shown, none could be redeemed for only ten points.

“System, can you tell me what abilities can be redeemed for ten points?” Xiao Luo didn’t give up. He wanted to test if this was a hallucination or maybe someone’s prank.

“Ding! You cannot redeem any abilities for ten points!”

Xiao Luo was exasperated. “You messing with me?”

“Ding! Points can be earned. Host, do not worry.”

So points could be earned!

Xiao Luo’s eyes brightened. “How do I earn points?”

“Ding! Surprise, curiosity, shock … and any other human emotional reactions caused by the host will be automatically distinguished and absorbed by the system, and then automatically converted into corresponding points based on the depth of the emotion.”

“I see!”

Xiao Luo immediately understood. This was not a genius system without equal. This clearly was a cheat-code system that allowed him to continually act like a pretentious jerk, to play the sheep to catch a wolf. The ten points he had must have been earned from the nurse just now.

Bang.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open. In swarmed a large group of doctors in white coats. When they saw Xiao Luo sitting up, they all stood rooted to the ground, as if they had been petrified. Their eyes were wide open in shock as they looked at Xiao Luo.

Chapter 2: Constitution of the King of Mercenaries

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xiao Luo saw shock, confusion and doubt in their eyes …

“The patient has septic shock, ruptured intestines, bleeding, and contusion of the liver and spleen. How could he have awakened in only half a day?”

“Not only that, the patient also suffered contusions on both lungs, multiple rib fractures on both sides, comminuted skull fracture, torn right abdominal muscles, haemorrhage of the digestive tract and a pelvis fracture. With such severe injuries to his body, how did the patient regain consciousness just like this?”

“Unbelievable, this is a medical miracle!”

The group of doctors sized up Xiao Luo carefully, as if they were looking at an alien. Their shock and horror could not be articulated. The female nurse who screamed earlier was amongst them.

Xiao Luo was equally shocked, because the value of his points was increasing rapidly. It suddenly rose from the previous ten points to one hundred points. It did not stop at one hundred but continued to increase to a thousand and one points before finally stabilizing.

“DING, Congratulations! You’ve earned nine hundred and eleven points. Do you want to enter the mall for redemption?” The system notification sounded.

Xiao Luo blinked and got a hold of his mind, he remembered his weak constitution and inquired, “System, is there anything that can improve my physical strength?”

As soon as the words were spoken, an ability called “Constitution of: King of Mercenaries” appeared on the lighted silver screen. But it would cost a thousand points to redeem it.

“Why isn’t there an explanatory note?” Xiao Luo was puzzled.

“Ding, the ‘Constitution of: King of Mercenaries’ can enable the host to quickly possess a mercenary king’s ability. This includes but is not limited to physical strength, combat experience, ability to response, knowledge of firearms, etc. Once redeemed, it will be permanently in effect. Do you wish to proceed with redemption? “The system voice said.

F*ck me!

Xiao Luo drew in a breath of cool air. This was more than just a “cheat code”. It was like going into the script of a game and directly modifying the characteristics of the main character.

“Redeem!”

The word was barely squeezed out from the cracks between his teeth. He still could not believe that this system really existed, unless his body suddenly became stronger for real.

“Ding, Congratulations! You’ve received ‘Constitution of: King of Mercenaries’ and used up one thousand points!” The system notification voice said.

However, the doctors in the room looked at each other in dismay. It was because they could not see the lighted silver screen or hear the system’s notifications. All they could hear was Xiao Luo’s voice.

Seeing how Xiao Luo was talking to himself as he sat on the bed and how his brows occasionally scrunched together and relaxed, they uniformly agreed that Xiao Luo’s brain had been damaged. Although he had awakened, he had now become a mental patient.

Moreover they had completely calmed down by now as they realized a major problem, and that was the person who had diagnosed the patient last night. He was an intern who had not arrived in the hospital for long.

Their understanding of the patient was also based on the diagnostic report by the intern. After all, they had only arrived for work a short while ago and did not have the time to check the patient’s condition personally.

So, could this be a misdiagnosis, a case of getting the wrong report? This was not a medical miracle at all?

“Have you contacted the patient’s family?” A middle-aged doctor turned his head and asked the female nurse next to him.

The female nurse nodded, “We’re about to contact the patient’s family through his cell phone. A man named Zhang Dashan just happened to call and he said he’s the patient’s good friend. We told Zhang Dashan the patient’s situation and he immediately agreed to come over. He should be on his way now. ”

The middle-aged doctor said, “Very good. Remember to inform Zhang Dashan of the patient’s medical expenses!”

“Hmm, okay.” The female nurse nodded in answer.

“By the way, arrange another full-body examination for the patient. I strongly suspect that his examination report was wrong. What? Tearing and bleeding of the right eye? Look at him, there’s no injuries anywhere on his body. Did Xiao Lai, who took over my shift last night, doze off on the job?” The middle-aged doctor scowled.

Just then, a chilly atmosphere suddenly spread across the ward without any warning.

The doctors in the ward could not shake of this cold feeling. All of them could not take their eyes off Xiao Luo, who sat on the hospital bed. They were experiencing a strong misperception at this moment, that it was not a person sitting on the hospital bed, but an extremely dangerous bloodthirsty beast. It was as if it could devour them at any time, leaving nothing but a pile of bones.

Especially Xiao Luo’s eyes; his chilling aura pressed upon them. And his fiendish intent was overwhelming. It was like the eyes of a wild beast, and they truly felt a tremor that started from their souls!

How did this happen?

Was it a hallucination or a misperception?

The doctors were all stunned, and they foolishly could not tell whether it was real or not. But their foreheads could not stop breaking out in cold sweat. They could not understand how a person’s temperament could change so dramatically in an instant.

Xiao Luo felt very strange and wonderful at this moment. His body seemed to have endless strength, and the ankylosing spondylitis that had troubled him for more than two years seemed to have been cured. His entire back now felt extremely light. His body had never experienced this full and unrestrained sense of ease and comfort.

Even his sight had become much clearer, he could even easily see the tiny creatures in the ward, such as the spider lying quietly on the wall waiting for the prey to serve itself up.

“Lao Xiao!”

A loud voice blew in from outside the ward, and it was quickly followed by the door slamming open. A young man similar in age to Xiao Luo appeared at the doorway.

The young man had a fleshy face. His entire face was plump and round, but his body was not fat, it was even on the thin side. It looked like a fat man’s head grafted on a thin man’s neck; he wore a crew cut and had some distinct forehead wrinkles. The skin on his face was very rough too.

The young man looked around before his gaze finally landed on Xiao Luo on that hospital bed. Then, he completely disregarded the doctors, treating them like air as he ran straight towards Xiao Luo.

After a general examination of Xiao Luo’s body, the loud voice suddenly shouted, “F*ck, which quack doctor said that my brother was in shock and was going to become a vegetable. I rushed over without even having breakfast. What in the bollocks were you trying to do? ”

As soon as this statement was spoken, the group of doctors in the ward suddenly flushed red, especially the middle-aged doctor. Even though the diagnosis was written by Xiao Lai, the intern doctor last night, as Xiao Luo’s primary physician, wouldn’t the label of “quack doctor” still be directly tacked onto him?

“Ahem….”

Xiao Luo coughed dryly a few times and felt a wave of embarrassment. His buddy Zhang Dashan really had the guts to say anything. Was he not afraid of getting beaten by the group of doctors?

The row of doctors looked at each other, and then stepped out in succession. After closing the door, some of the doctors with bad tempers could not help but flip out.

“Just what kind of reputation is Xiao Lai trying to establish? To even make this kind of mistake, did he doze off as he was diagnosing the patient last night?”

“An intern is an intern. He is not serious at all in his work. I suggest that we cancel his qualification to become a regular employee. He should stay in the hospital for another three months.”

“Yes, misdiagnosis is a major taboo for us as doctors. This is the first time that I’ve seen such a huge misdiagnosis in my life.”

Obviously, these doctors had determined that Xiao Luo’s waking up was not a medical miracle at all, but a huge misdiagnosis. And the one responsible for the misdiagnosis was Xiao Lai, a new intern in their hospital.

The middle-aged doctor said nothing, but his expression was unusually ugly.

Xiao Lai was an intern under his name. This was also the first time that he had seen such a huge misdiagnosis as a doctor.

He was usually loved by others and had even been gifted a plaque that said “Hua Tuo Of Our Lifetime”. It was totally unlike the insulting names that he had suffered since early morning of today, such as “quack doctor”. He would settle all these with Xiao Lai.

Chapter 3: Resignation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xiao Luo could not be bothered to find out who the doctors wanted to pin the blame on.

He was now completely immersed in the excitement of the Constitution of the King of Mercenaries brought about by the Genius System Without Equal. The iron railing of the hospital bed had been twisted and deformed by his bare hands. He had now thoroughly confirmed the very real existence of the system. This was not a hallucination produced after the concussion.

“‘If one does not perish in a great disaster, blessings will surely follow’. The words of the ancients really don’t lie, hahaha …”

Xiao Luo could not suppress himself and laughed heartily. He felt as if he had woken up and found that he had turned into Superman who wore his red underpants on the outside and could fly in the sky. It was difficult to describe the excitement in words.

“Hey hey hey, Lao Xiao, what’s up with you? Don’t scare me. Why are you getting happy all by yourself in such a silly way?” Zhang Dashan clapped his hands in front of Xiao Luo’s eyes, but he did not see how Xiao Luo had twisted the iron railing of the bed into a deformed shape.

Xiao Luo looked at his ex-college room-mate and buddy in front of him, he really wanted to tell him about the Genius System Without Equal.

But he thought better of it. It was better to keep this matter to himself. If he said it, he would only be treated like a lunatic by Zhang Dashan. After all, this was too ridiculous, who would believe that he had merged with the Genius System Without Equal from a parallel universe a hundred billion light years away?

“What are you looking at? I’m nothing to look at. Tell me, why are you lying in the hospital?” Zhang Dashan jabbed at Xiao Luo’s chest with a finger, putting all his strength behind the motion.

“Ah…. disappointment in love!”

Xiao Luo sighed. He followed up with an account about how Zhao Mengqi broke up with him, after which, he drove his car at high speed in the suburbs late at night and ended up in a car accident.

After listening, Zhang Dashan sighed, “F*ck me, you’ve really survived a great disaster!”

“Can’t you understand the main point?” Xiao Luo rolled his eyes.

Zhang Dashan immediately scolded, “The main point is bollocks. Zhao Mengqi is less than a fart. Breaking up with you is her loss. You are so outstanding. You even have an occipital bun at the back of your skull. The physiognomy books have said that this is a feature of an emperor. One day, sooner or later, you will become rich and powerful, when that time comes, the only thing left for Zhao Mengqi to do is to secretly cry by herself. ”

Xiao Luo did not know whether to laugh or cry. He patted Dashan’s shoulder, “Dashan, I really salute you for your skill at talking drivel. No one can beat you at this.”

“Get lost!”

Zhang Dashan waved his hand impatiently, and then said with a serious expression, “By the way, do you feel any discomfort now? For example, do you feel like vomiting?”

“There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m lucky this time, only the car was thrashed, I’m totally fine and can be discharged now,” Xiao Luo said.

“Lao Xiao, we can’t brag about this, the body is an asset for revolution. You can’t afford to be careless about it. If you have no money for treatment, I have. I don’t have millions, but I can definitely come up with three to four thousand dollars for you.” With their relationship, Zhang Dashan was a straight-talker who did not hide things or beat about the bush.

“There’s really no need for that!”

Xiao Luo immediately leaped from the bed. Not only did he jump three times on the floor, he also walked upside down to prove that his body was better.

Zhang Dashan’s eyes widened, “Oh my lord, when did you learn to walk upside down? You’ve hidden that skill so well.”

He now completely believed in his heart that there was no major issues with Xiao Luo’s body.

“Ding! Congratulations. You’ve earned five points.”

Xiao Luo ignored the system notification and ended the handstand. He dusted his palms and said irritably to Zhang Dashan, “So, according to what you’ve said, do I have to report to you even when I go to the bathroom?”

“I’m not interested in you going to the bathroom, but I would love to hear about it if you have sex with a girl. The more detailed the better, hehe…..” Zhang Dashan laughed in a vulgar way.

“F*ck your sister!”

“Bwahaha!”

Zhang Dashan ran out with a hearty laugh to complete the discharge papers for Xiao Luo.

They had a simple breakfast together after leaving the hospital. Xiao Luo and Zhang Dashan went to the Traffic Police where his domestic car was. The car was seriously deformed, even the engine was broken. Even if it was repaired, it would still bounce heavily on a flat road like the broken car that it was. He could only apply for it to be scrapped.

“Don’t feel bad about it, it’s just a car. ‘If the old doesn’t go, the new will not come’. The same logic applies to girlfriends. There’s always a good car, a good woman in this world that belongs solely to you,” Zhang Dashan consoled.

Xiao Luo smiled and didn’t speak. After barely escaping from the Grim Reaper’s clutches, he had gotten over many things in his mind. His mental state was much more calm and collected than before.

“Do you want to go home or the company?” Zhang Dashan opened the driver’s door of his Corolla and asked Xiao Luo.

“To the company.”

“F*ck, you insist on going to work even after a car accident. If I’m Jack Ma, I’ll definitely send you a dedication blessing card.” (A category in an AR game by Alipay where one can win money)

“I’m not going to work, but to resign!” Xiao Luo said helplessly.

Zhang Dashan frowned, feeling a little agitated, “You’re resigning just because of Zhao Mengqi? My bro, aren’t you acting too much like a loser?”

Xiao Luo sighed, but did not explain. He opened the door to the front passenger seat and got into the car.

In fact, he had thought about ​​resigning long ago. Not only was working in a manufacturing factory a repetitive grind every day, it also lacked challenges. He could not see any future in this.

He had never felt particularly happy about this job. If Zhao Mengqi did not also work at Huahai Group, he would have chosen to leave long ago. Now that he had the Genius System Without Equal, there was no need to restrict his career path to Huahai Corporation.

Zhang Dashan stopped shooting his mouth off and got into the driver’s seat. He drove Xiao Luo to Huahai Corporation.

“Lao Xiao, cheer up. We are men. There is no need to be sad and depressed over a woman who doesn’t care for you,” Zhang Dashan spoke again in consolation.

“I’ve opened my mind; I can adjust myself well.”

Xiao Luo’s heart warmed, “By the way, you should pay attention when you’re driving, don’t learn from me and run yourself off the road.”

“Touch wood….. No good words can be expected from a scoundrel like you. I’m leaving. I’ll call you up again for a good time when I’m free.” Zhang Dashan stepped on the accelerator and boldly drove his Corolla away.

Xiao Luo watched him leave until he couldn’t see the shadow of the car any more. He collected his gaze and turned around, swiping his employee card and walking into Huahai Corporation

His resignation was finally completed just before noon.

Holding a box of his stuff, Xiao Luo walked down the main pathway of Huahai Corporation, where he had worked for three years. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. This was his first job after graduating from university. He still remembered when he had first arrived, full of dreams and ideals. Each and every scene flitted across his mind like a movie.

“Xiao Luo, stop right there!”

A familiar voice rang out behind him, with a hint of command behind her tone.

Xiao Luo stopped and turned back to meet a beautiful face. That was Zhao Mengqi, a stylishly dressed woman with a sweet appearance.

He was not surprised at all that Zhao Mengqi had knew about his resignation. After all, she worked in the HR Department. There were thousands in Huahai Corporation, whether they stayed or left, the HR department had detailed records of all of them.

“Is there something wrong?” Xiao Luo asked indifferently.

Zhao Mengqi ran up to him in her high heels. She glanced at the contents of Xiao Luo’s box with a scornful expression in her eyes, “Xiao Luo, can’t you be a bit more mature? You and me, we’ve come to the end, but do you have to resign over this and ruin your future? Even if you don’t want to think about yourself, you have to consider your family. You would have no source of income after you resign. Do you intend to go back and live off your parents? ”

Chapter 4: The Ex and the Current

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xiao Luo felt that he had been reborn after the car accident. He did not really have much complaints about Zhao Mengqi. He felt more numb than anything else and expressed his understanding about her choices. After all, the world had always been very realistic and cruel.

“I resigned due to personal reasons, it has little to do with you.”

Xiao Luo smiled, “If there’s nothing else, goodbye!”

A goodbye to put a perfect full stop to their four year relationship. There were no entanglements between them, no pestering. He would not lay down the dignity he had as a man to appeal for anything more. He turned around airily and left.

Zhao Mengqi stood rooted in the same spot and only felt emptiness in her heart. She originally came to rant about Xiao Luo’s shortcomings and to also confirm that her choice of leaving Xiao Luo was correct – such a weak and incompetent man was not worthy of her at all.

But the result was not what she had expected. Xiao Luo did not plead with her to stay, nor did he have any sad feelings, which suddenly made her feel a little indignant. Things should not be like this.

“Xiao Luo, don’t pretend that you don’t care. I know that you really hate me, but this is reality.”

Zhao Mengqi shouted, “I can almost predict the trajectory of your life. You can’t escape from the fate of a working man. Maybe you’ll succeed one day, but whether it’s ten years or twenty years later, who knows? You can afford it, but I can’t afford to waste my youth. I don’t want to live in a narrow rental house with you after marriage, and I don’t want to be a slave to our mortgage for thirty years after the down payment for a house. That is not how I want to live like that. ”

Xiao Luo turned his head and said with a blank expression, “So?”

“So I chose to leave you and make plans for my own future.” Zhao Mengqi blurted out, answering in a self-righteous voice.

“Well, you did right.”

Xiao Luo kept a smile on his face from beginning to end. His ease and calm remained unchanged, “Thanks for giving me a lesson in the school of hard knocks.”

Zhao Mengqi was stunned once again. She did not understand why Xiao Luo could still be so calm. Shouldn’t he have lost all rational thought and gone mad? Was this guy pretending or did he really not care?

“Qiqi?”

At this moment, a Lamborghini sports car stopped next to Zhao Mengqi. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a handsome young man. With one glance, one could tell that he was a young master who had been pampered since childhood. His skin was very fair and he was dressed in branded apparel.

Xiao Luo recognized at a glance that this was Hua Haifeng, the son of the Chairman of Huahai Corporation, also known as Young Master Hua. He was said to be a total playboy. Many beautiful, unmarried women in Huahai Corporation had a little history with him.

“Qiqi, what are you doing here?”

Hua Haifeng alighted from the sports car before realizing that Xiao Luo was there. He pointed at Xiao Luo with a hostile expression,

“Who is he?”

Zhao Mengqi was rather embarrassed, but didn’t hide anything. She said coquettishly, “He’s Xiao Luo.”

“Xiao Luo? So he’s your ex.”

Hua Haifeng had a sudden realization; it was obvious that he knew about Xiao Luo’s existence and the relationship between Zhao Mengqi and Xiao Luo.

He glanced at Xiao Luo, and a nebulous expression flashed across his eyes, “Since he’s your ex, it would be impolite for me, as the current, not to say hello to him.”

“Young Master Hua, with your status, there is no need for you to say hello to him. Let’s just go,” Zhao Mengqi said.

Hua Haifeng and Xiao Luo formed a sharp contrast. The more she looked at Xiao Luo, the more she felt that he was incapable and powerless. He truly belonged to the bottom of the pile. She did not want to see any interaction between Hua Haifeng, who had a distinguished status, and Xiao Luo.

“Qiqi, you can’t say that. After all, he took care of you before I showed up. It is only natural that I thank him for that. Wait for me here, I’ll be right back.”

After which, Hua Haifeng walked towards Xiao Luo.

With his back to Zhao Mengqi, Hua Haifeng did not bother to conceal anything. A peculiar and self-satisfied smile appeared on his face as he strutted like a victor.

He put his hand out, giving a phony and evil smile, “Hello, I’m Hua Haifeng, glad to meet you!”

Xiao Luo harrumphed and said in a monotone, “Sorry, I’m holding stuff. I can’t put my hand out.”

The rumors did not do him justice. Now that Xiao Luo had seen Hua Haifeng in person, he completely believed that those bad rumors about Hua Haifeng were true. He had caught the smell of a scum even from far away.

“Xiao Luo, it’s your honor that Young Master Hua is shaking hands with you. Why are you so ignorant of the greater picture?” The anger that Zhao Mengqi experienced was not only because of this incident. She said this in front of the two men to show that she stood firmly on Hua Haifeng’s side.

Xiao Luo turned a deaf ear to her. There was nothing he felt towards Zhao Mengqi apart from disappointment. Their four year relationship had become a sacrificial object as she courted Hua Haifeng’s favor. He suddenly felt that he had been blind for the past four years; he had wasted four years on this relationship.

At this moment, Hua Haifeng laughed, “Xiao Luo, you’re quite a character. I really admire you. By the way, are you interested in being my assistant? I guarantee that you’ll get an annual salary of twenty-eight thousand dollars.”

Of course, he was not sincere about inviting Xiao Luo to be his assistant. Instead, he wanted to use this as a pretext to deliberately mock Xiao Luo and strike him down. Hua Haifeng would feel special a sense of accomplishment and thrill to seize someone else’s “cake” and eat it in front of him.

“I’m not interested!”

Xiao Luo dropped those three words and turned away.

Hua Haifeng’s eyes narrowed and emitted a chilling light, “Wait.” He went up to Xiao Luo and put his mouth close to his ears. He revealed his true nature by saying, “I f*cked your woman for you last night. Her body is great, it was so good I could die. I tried all thirty-six moves on her. I didn’t expect that a pretentious d*ck like you had never f*cked her once in those four years. I got a bargain in the end. Hehe….. ”

“Congratulations on turning another girl into a woman for this society!” Xiao Luo smiled and said without any grief or joy.

Hua Haifeng’s expression instantly froze. He never expected Xiao Luo’s response to be so dull. This suddenly caused him to feel a great sense of failure and frustration.

He reached out and grabbed Xiao Luo’s shoulder. He gritted his teeth and said, “Aren’t you angry?”

To Xiao Luo’s ears, the challenging words sounded like it came from an ignorant fool. He mocked, “She’s your woman now, but you’re telling another man about your private lives, have you become addled? If there’s a next time, you might as well invite me to observe the scene, I’ll surely applaud and cheer for you from the sidelines. ”

It was only then that Hua Haifeng realized, yeah, he was Zhao Mengqi’s man now.

To be counteracted and crushed by Xiao Luo, Hua Haifeng suddenly felt so humiliated that he became enraged. He grabbed Xiao Luo’s collar in one move and sneered, “Piece of garbage, what are you talking about?”

Xiao Luo’s expression turned cold, “Release me!”

With just two simple words, Hua Haifeng felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole. He shuddered involuntarily from head to toe. Especially when he met Xiao Luo’s eyes, he could not control the hair on his body from standing straight up.

How could this kid’s eyes be so scary?

Hua Haifeng was terrified, he could not believe that Xiao Luo could scare him with just a look from his eyes.

Subconsciously, he was about to let go, but how could he admit defeat when Zhao Mengqi was standing behind him? Moreover, he did not believe that Xiao Luo would dare to do anything to him when they were in Huahai Corporation.

“So what if I don’t let go, you want to hit me? Come on, I can lend you ten times the courage. Let’s see if you really dare…..”

His voice suddenly broke off. This was because Xiao Luo had jolted him away with his inner force. Xiao Luo then struck a foot on his chest without mercy.

As his right foot pounded firmly on Hua Haifeng’s chest, the force of the impact surging outward from the center point of attack.

“Ah.”

A sad and blood-curdling screech rang out of Hua Haifeng’s body, which weighed 65 kilograms. He flew backward immediately as if hit by a locomotive and fell hard on the solid ground four or five meters away.

His teeth bit through his tongue, and blood flowed in a mad gush, streaming from the corners of his mouth. Feeling as if his internal organs had been rearranged, Hua Haifeng lay on the ground, moaning in pain.

That move by Xiao Luo’s foot was like an attack from the legendary aquatic dragon–a complete whirlwind executed in one smooth motion. It was direct and efficient!

Zhao Mengqi was wholly stunned and stood motionless. Her eyes were wide, and she looked at Xiao Luo with an incredulous expression as he exuded a murderous air. She simply could not believe Hua Haifeng was kicked four or five meters away by Xiao Luo.

“DING, Congratulations. You’ve earned fifty points!” The system notified.

“Fifty points? How did I get fifty points?”

Xiao Luo looked around, only to find four security guards at the main entrance who had also seen what happened.

The four security guards quickly ran to them.

“Young Master Hua!”

The four of them, together with Zhao Mengqi, who had regained her composure, supported Hua Haifeng to stand up.

Hua Haifeng was furious. He pointed at Xiao Luo and bellowed, “Beat him up. I want him dead. He won’t be taking one step out of Huahai’s door!”

The four security guards did not dare to disobey. Besides, this was an opportunity to distinguish themselves and prove their mettle. Who could say for sure, perhaps they would be able to accomplish a shocking achievement all of a sudden simply because they taught someone a lesson on behalf of Hua Haifeng. Although they witnessed Xiao Luo’s power, they still pulled out the black iron truncheons hanging at their waists and threw themselves at him.

Why would Xiao Luo be afraid of mere security guards who watched the entrance? Without relinquishing the box, he executed a series of kicks and jabs with his legs. Each foot landed squarely on a security guard’s chest. Four voices screamed; the four security guards were thrown backward like Hua Haifeng. Even the iron truncheons in their hands dropped to the ground.

At this moment, the anger had drained out of Hua Haifeng. He looked at Xiao Luo in extreme horror; it was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He shivered when Xiao Luo’s gaze locked on him. Cold sweat instantly broke out across his body. He could not believe that Xiao Luo could have such freakish and terrifying skills.

Zhao Mengqi was in the same state. She now felt that Xiao Luo was even more of a stranger. This was not the Xiao Luo she knew before.

When Xiao Luo walked toward Hua Haifeng, she subconsciously placed herself in front of him and stared at Xiao Luo nervously, “Xiao Luo, what… What do you want?”

Xiao Luo ignored her. He just smiled and looked at the badly frightened Hua Haifeng. He said in a chiding tone, “Young Master Hua, if you have nothing to do, don’t go around grabbing other people’s collar. That’s very ill-mannered of you. I warned you, but you didn’t let go. You shouldn’t be indignant about getting a kick from me.” His gaze turned toward Zhao Mengqi, and he said with a grin,” Everyone wants to wear the princess’s robe, but for how long can you wear it? Three months or half a year?”

A tremor went through Zhao Mengqi’s body. Xiao Luo’s words stabbed right at her worry.

Yes, although she became Hua Haifeng’s girlfriend as she wished, Zhao Mangqi did not have the slightest sense of security and always felt that she could be abandoned by him at any moment. This was also the main reason she went to look for Xiao Luo today. Deep down in her heart, she still hoped to have him as her back-up plan, which would give her a sense of security.

“Of course, this is just my advice. Feel free to disregard it!”

After saying this, Xiao Luo left without looking back.

Zhao Mengqi seemed to have lost her soul all of a sudden. She stood there in the same spot, looking like an idiot. She thought that breaking up with Xiao Luo was definitely the right thing to do. But when the man really turned and left, the only thing she felt was an infinite sense of loss, sadness, and loneliness.

Every little detail of her four years living with this man emerged in a non-stop stream in her mind. Every scene was normal and ordinary, but she could not let go of them entirely.

She missed the egg fried rice Xiao Luo made, his meticulous care when she was ill, and even more so his narrow but hot chest…. She had to admit that her four-year romantic relationship with him was the best time of her life.

Looking at Xiao Luo’s back as he left, her vision was slowly blurred by tears. Her feelings became indescribably complicated; she felt as if she had lost a crucial thing!

********

Walking along the bustling street, Xiao Luo felt a lightness he had never experienced before. For a while, he couldn’t explain why he was in such a mood. Perhaps it was because he had seen Zhao Mengqi’s true nature, or could it be because he had left Huahai Corporation?

Not long after, he came to the entrance of a department store, and his gaze landed on a corner of the square.

There was a little girl in rags, about seven or eight years old. She was begging from the flow of tourists.

The little girl was unkempt, her long black hair so filthy and messy that knots had already started to form. Her legs were curved in an abnormal state, and her leg muscles were severely atrophied. She could not stand up and walk; she could only rely on her young and tender hands to slowly crawl forward like a poor little seal as she pushed along a chipped bowl.

Her long trouser legs dragged windingly on the ground. They were covered in dust and looked like two filthy rags. After a while, the little beggar girl crawled to his feet and shook the chipped bowl gently. The sound of coins clanking against the container rang out.

Xiao Luo lowered his head, and his gaze collided with the little girl. Although she was dirty and even emitted a pungent odor, her eyes were crystal clear and alert, so bright that they resembled the stars in the sky.

“Please, do a good deed and give me a few bucks!” The little girl said, hopefully.

Xiao Luo saw that she was pitiful, so he lowered the box, took out a two-dollar note from his pocket, and put it in the bowl.

“Thank you, mister. Buddha will bless you!” The little girl kowtowed and put her hands together palm to palm.

The people of Jiangcheng believed in the Buddha, and there was nothing wrong with the little girl’s words of gratitude.

Xiao Luo thought she was very bright and quick-witted, so he then took out two ten-dollar notes and stuffed them into her pocket. “Quickly go home and get your family to buy you something delicious.”

He truly felt that the little girl was pitiful. She was still so young but had to suffer like this.

“Home?”

The little girl’s petite body trembled slightly, and her bright eyes became lifeless. She seemed to be mumbling to herself, or perhaps she was recounting her tale, “I have no home now.”

She revealed a great sadness and loneliness despite her young age. Her eyes became red, forming two reddish circles.

Xiao Luo was puzzled. “Everyone has a home and parents. Why don’t you have a home?”

The little girl shook her head and then smiled staunchly, she changed the subject and said, “You’re a good person, thank you.”

After that, she moved her petite body with great difficulty and crawled away.

Xiao Luo thought this little girl was extraordinary; she had a story. After thinking about it, he quietly followed her…

She finally crawled into a gloomy alley, where a young man with an ugly and ferocious countenance was waiting.

Seeing her return, the young man put the knife he was playing with back into his pocket and walked up to the girl. He looked down at the chipped bowl that she used for begging and immediately flew into a rage. He kicked the little girl aside, “Motherf*cker, you’re knocking off after getting only this little bit of money? You motherf*cking brat don’t want to eat today? ”

“You dare to stop begging? I’ll teach you a lesson today!”

The angry young man had a fierce and sinister expression. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed toward her, grabbing the little girl’s hair with one motion and raising her entire body into the air.

“It hurts…. it hurts …”

Her feet were lifted off the ground, and the intense pain made her cry. She felt so aggrieved.

“Why are you crying? Hold it in!”

The young man slapped her with his hand. “Pow.” He hit her again. Huge slaps landed on the girl’s face in succession, with no concern for her at all.

She could only endure the pain, gritting her teeth to keep herself from crying out, but the tears kept overflowing. Her face was swollen and distorted.

Chapter 6: A Good Person

“Let her go!”

A cold, hard voice rang through the empty alley.

The ugly and ferocious-looking man turned his head, only to meet with regular features set in a face that exuded a noble spirit. Then he raged fearlessly as if he was on the right course. “I’m disciplining my daughter; it’s none of your business. Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs. Scram!”

“I’m telling you to let go of her!”

Xiao Luo shouted coldly, the imposing manner of his body suddenly intensified.

Without warning, the brute felt a bone-piercing chill, a chill that made his hair stand on end. He was like a frog under the watchful gaze of a poisonous snake; he was walking a perilous edge. Unable to help himself, he took a step back.

While he was in a daze, Xiao Luo lost his patience.

Xiao Luo’s body turned into a streak of black lightning that rushed toward him. In the blink of an eye, he was knocked seven or eight meters.

The man with the hideous and brutish appearance only felt something flicker in front of his eyes. He had no time to fight back. A clenched fist greeted his face and was closely followed by an intense pain that flooded his head. His body was thrown back helplessly, a bloody tooth jutting from his mouth.

The little girl fell but was caught firmly by Xiao Luo.

When she found out that it was the same man who’d given her a lot of money, she stared blankly at first before bursting into tears, feeling aggrieved.

“Is he your dad?” asked Xiao Luo, pointing at the hideous hulk on the ground.

Shaking her head, she said, “No. He’s a bad man. He broke my legs and forced me to beg for money. Please, call the police. Tell them to take me away. I want to go home, I want my daddy and mommy, boohoohoo….. ”

She cried her heart out, her young and soft body heaving with each sob.

Xiao Luo immediately understood. The little girl was abducted by human traffickers. These people brutally broke both her legs, forcibly turning a healthy person into a miserable, disabled beggar. She was nothing more than a cash cow for them, thrown to the streets to beg like a lump of dirt.

At this point, the guy got up from the ground, spat out the blood in his mouth, and pulled out the switchblade from his pocket. He glared at Xiao Luo savagely. “Boy, hand her over to me now, and we can still talk things over. Otherwise, I’ll kill you with this knife!”

“I really want to know how you intend to kill me.”

When Xiao Luo stamped his foot, a loud bang was heard as the ground ruptured, spreading cracks from under his foot to the surrounding area, like spider webs.

Gulp.

The man swallowed his saliva with difficulty, wondering where this monster came from. He cracked the surface of the cement with one stomp of his foot.

“You… You just wait!”

After speaking these harsh words, he fled in defeat and disbelief. He didn’t think his body was stronger than the concrete path.

Xiao Luo immediately swept toward him and blasted this guy back with his fist. As the man flew back, two bloody teeth jutted hideously out of his mouth.

“DING! Congratulations. You’ve earned ten points!” The system notification rang out.

Xiao Luo was too busy to pay attention. He collected his gaze and looked at the little girl, comforting her as she shivered. “Don’t be scared. Everything’s all right!”

“Hmm!” The little girl wiped away her tears unceasingly.

Half an hour later, Xiao Luo appeared with the little girl at the Public Security Bureau.

“Stay here. The police will send you home to your parents.” Xiao Luo did what he could do; now it was time to leave.

“Mister, thank you!” The little girl was very sensible. She knew that she had met the right person; otherwise, she would still be suffering in the hands of the traffickers.

Xiao Luo smiled at her, and then walked out of the police station, accompanied by a police officer slightly older than he was.

“Mr. Xiao Luo, please rest assured that we will send her back to her birth parents.”

“Thanks for your trouble!”

“This is our duty and responsibility as the police. It’s no trouble at all.”

The policeman ushering him out was full of smiles. He solemnly shook Xiao Luo’s hand. “Nowadays, we need more people like Mr. Xiao Luo in this society. There would be fewer crimes!”

Xiao Luo did not say more. He just nodded and stood up to leave.

A policewoman was walking toward them near the entrance of the police station.

She must have been in a hurry, for she was walking quickly. If it wasn’t for Xiao Luo’s quick response, the two of them would have collided. However, his ability was just so, and their shoulders still touched.

The policewoman turned back, and Xiao Luo did the same.

Their gazes met in mid-air, the former shivering; the later cool and collected. After smiling apologetically, he left without looking back.

“Team Leader Gu!” The policeman ushering Xiao Luo walked up and greeted the policewoman.

She pointed at Xiao Luo’s back and asked, “Who is that guy?”

The policeman grinned and said, “He’s one good man.”

“A good man?”

The policewoman was stumped for words. The moment their gazes intertwined, she clearly felt a suffocating chill that made her break out in goosebumps all over. The expression in his eyes was sharper and scarier than the drug pushers she’d dealt with before.

The policeman nodded and smiled, “He rescued a little girl from an underground criminal gang that specializes in enslaving children for begging, he’s clearly a good guy.”

“I see!”

The policewoman’s wariness against Xiao Luo disappeared immediately, and she dropped her gaze from Xiao Luo’s back. “By the way, where is that little girl?”

“She’s in our office.”

“Very well, this should be an opening. As long as we carefully tear it open, we can wipe out the entire underground criminal gang in Jiangcheng, who enslaves children for begging.” The policewoman’s eyes showed a flash of extreme hatred as she quickly walked into the building of the police station.

******

Back in his rental house, Xiao Luo browsed the mall in the system. He now had a total of two hundred points. After redeeming a foreign language ability, he was down to zero points.

Fortunately, this foreign language ability did not refer to only English; it also included Russian, French, German, etc. There were as many as a dozen languages.

Xiao Luo personally found more than a dozen movies in the corresponding languages and discovered that not only could he understand all of them, he could also fluently repeat the characters’ lines in the movies.

“This ability should be beneficial in finding a job!” Xiao Luo was quite satisfied.

Ring, ring, ring.

It was his mobile phone.

Xiao Luo looked at his phone. It was his sister, Xiao Ruyi, who worked as a nurse.

As soon as he pressed the answer key, Xiao Ruyi’s voice could be heard from the phone. “Bro, I heard from Zhang Dashan that you and Zhao Mengqu broke up.”

Xiao Luo scowled and called out to Zhang Dashan in his mind, You big mouth! Can’t you keep a secret?!

“Hmm!” he answered indistinctly.

“Well done. I’ve never felt she was a good woman or right for you from the first time I laid eyes on her. Her bag was a branded and one article of clothing cost more than a hundred dollars. There was also an unpleasant perfume smell about her, and her features were sharp and unkind. You would have definitely been asking for trouble if you married her; even the family could expect to have a hard time, “Xiao Ruyi said.

Xiao Luo didn’t know what to say. Raising his voice, he said, “Xiao Ruyi, I had a breakup, but you’re offering no words of comfort. You seem to be gloating. I’m starting to wonder if you’re my real sister.”

“Bro, I’m two hundred percent your sister. I care about your happiness because I’m your sister, hehe…..”

Xiao Ruyi chuckled. “By the way. We recently recruited a few beautiful young nurses. When you’re ready, I can introduce you to some. They’re definitely better than that Zhao Mengqi woman.”

Xiao Luo almost spat out the tea he just sipped. “Have a good life as a couple with Tang Ren. Don’t worry about your brother’s affairs.”

“No. You’re my elder brother. Your happiness is important to me. When we have a holiday someday, I will bring a girl I’ve selected to see you. So that’s settled. I’m working now, bye!”

Xiao Ruyi didn’t wait for Xiao Luo’s refusal before hanging up.

“This girl!”

Xiao Luo tossed the phone aside with a helpless expression.

Chapter 7: The Troublemakers Had Arrived

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xiao Luo did not tell his family about his resignation and car accident. As a man, and a twenty-six-year-old man at that, he would try his best to hide anything that would cause worry for his family.

Besides, he had more than 4,000 dollars in savings. Even if he had no source of income, that money would still cover him for a while. Not to mention, he had now merged with the Genius System Without Equal. Work could be done in minutes; there was no need to worry about anything at all.

He stretched and yawned.

In his three years of working for Huahai Corporation, he had to rotate shifts (day shift and night shift) once a month, every month. There were various sorts of overtime. His daily routine was highly irregular, plus he had just been in a car accident. Although he was saved by the system, his body did not seem to be entirely back to its nimble state yet. He felt tired and sleepy at the moment.

He collapsed into bed, pulled the sheets over his head, and immediately fell into a deep slumber. His rest was extraordinarily stable and pleasant: the best he had experienced in these three years.

When he woke up, it was already past nine in the evening.

After entering the bathroom and taking a bath, he went out for supper to solve the practical problem of hunger.

He paired a black shirt with slim black pants. Dressed from head to toe in black, he gave off a mysterious feeling.

He chose to have supper at a small stall. The stall owners were a middle-aged couple. The husband grilled while the woman cooked some noodles. Also, there were beer and other beverages. The business was quite good.

Xiao Luo often came here to eat. As time passed, he became familiar with this middle-aged couple.

“Coming!”

The husband, greeting him warmly, said, “The usual?”

“Hm, yep. The same old.”

Xiao Luo nodded and found an empty table where he sat down.

Zhang Dashan was calling him on his mobile.

Xiao Luo really wanted to chew him out. He was such a big mouth that he could not keep any secrets.

“Why do you always call me about nothing? You think phone calls are free?” Xiao Luo complained unhappily when he pressed the answer button.

Zhang Dashan was startled. “F*ck me. Did you eat explosives or what? You’re so angry. Okay, okay. I’ll call you on WeChat.

“That’ll exceed my data.”

“Do you think I’m stupid? You have 4GB per month, but you don’t listen to music or watch movies that often. Exceed your data? Bullsh*t!” Zhang Dashan became impatient.

At that moment, a bowl of Sanxian noodles was served.

Xiao Luo coughed dryly, and said in a stern voice, “Okay, I’m not talking nonsense with you anymore, I’m eating now.”

“Motherf*cker, why didn’t you call me to eat too? Aren’t we bros?” Zhang Dashan complained immediately.

Xiao Luo grew exasperated. “You are more than 40 kilometers away. Would you actually have come if I called you? Just the petrol alone is enough for you to eat several bowls.”

“My bro, you can’t calculate it like that. Compared with our friendship, that little bit of petrol money is less than nothing.” Zhang Dashan nagged earnestly.

Xiao Luo couldn’t be bothered with him now. He was too hungry. Picking up his chopstick, he became engrossed in his food.

Zhang Dashan also became serious as he spoke of proper matters. “By the way, Lao Xiao, did you really resign today?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Luo answered truthfully, and then quickly urged, “Don’t tell my sister about this, or else I’ll end our friendship.”

His sister, Xiao Ruyi, was a big mouth like Zhang Dashan. If Xiao Ruyi knew about his resignation, he could guarantee that his phone would be blowing up with calls from his family the next day.

“F*ck. You still don’t trust me. Any secrets you tell me are absolutely safe with me,” Zhang Dashan solemnly vowed.

Xiao Luo rolled his eyes and asked with a profound meaning. “Are they?”

“Of course. Never mind. Let’s drop this and talk business. Today I asked a colleague from my HR department if our bank is still recruiting. Do you want to come over? The amazing teamwork between us will guarantee an awesome monthly performance,” Zhang Dashan said.

“No. I’m not interested in working in a bank,” Xiao Luo answered.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you looking down on our countryside credit union? There is a saying, no matter how small a mosquito’s legs are, they are still meat. Our credit union was established according to regulations. We’ll still get a pension every month even when we collect our old-age pension.”

“I’m not talking about that. Anyway, I understand your intentions. But, when it comes to working, I’ll take care of it myself,” Xiao Luo said.

Zhang Dashan knew there was nothing he could achieve by insisting, so he softened his tone. “Okay. Call me when you’ve thought it through. Even if I have to sell my *ss, I’ll find a way to use my connections to get you in.”

Xiao Luo’s heart melted. He knew Zhang Dashan truly meant well for him. “Thanks, Dashan!”

“No need for thanks. We’re bros, we’re good. You’re me and I’m you. That’s it then, enjoy your meal. I have a female client who asked me to meet her at her home. It seems that I have to sacrifice myself a little tonight. Let me tell you, she’s a married woman who is delicate, pretty, and young. ”

“Restrain yourself.” Xiao Luo shook his head helplessly.

“What nonsense. When the woman asked me to go to her house, she said to also bring a can of Red Bull. A can of Red Bull, bro! I want to restrain myself too, but look at this situation: she clearly wants to squeeze me dry.

“Why do I feel you’re showing off to me?”

“Hahaha…. I’ve been outed. Hanging up now. The female client is calling. Call you back later!” Zhang Dashan hung up the phone.

Xiao Luo put the phone back in his pocket and continued to eat his remaining Sanxian noodles.

From the corner of his eyes, he glimpsed a middle-aged man in a western suit and leather shoes sitting not too far from him. The guy was extremely dignified, and his body exuded the confident manner of someone from the upper-class. He even had two grim-faced bodyguards beside him. They donned sunglasses even at night.

He was obviously a person of high status!

Xiao Luo found it inconceivable that someone like that would be eating at a small stall. Moreover, he seemed looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him before somewhere.

But a commotion rocked the street at this moment. Dozens of people gathered around the stall, and all of them looked murderous. They were like beasts that had just emerged from the mountains, causing people to tremble in fear. They even wielded gleaming machetes and steel pipes.

Their leader was a bald man with a severe, stocky build; he had no eyebrows. His body was covered with tiger and leopard print tattoos; his eyes were fierce and malevolent. He wore an insufferably arrogant and insolent expression on his face.

“Boss, that’s him. He’s the one who rescued that little b*tch!”

A man with an ugly and ferocious-looking face said that savagely as he stepped out and pointed at Xiao Luo, who was eating his noodles. It was that horrible guy from today, the one who enslaved the little girl and made her beg.

The bald man threw a vicious glance at Xiao Luo, then he looked up and swept his eyes over the other customers at the stall. He yelled coldly, “Except for this kid, everyone scram!”

The row of customers in front of the stall scattered in all directions, leaving this hornet’s nest.

“Sir, please. We can always talk things out. Please don’t drive away my customers!”

The stall owner hurried forth and pulled out $20 to $40 and stashed the money into the bald man’s pocket.

This area was a district of Jiangcheng; it was also an area that was far away from the city center. This was a case of central authority not being able to penetrate remote areas. Moreover, because of the many factories here, good and bad people intermingled. People from all over the country rubbed shoulders here. Law and order was not well maintained. Hooligans and gangsters often made trouble, so the stall owner thought they were here to collect protection fees again.

The bald man dropped him to the ground with a kick and pointed at him. “This is none of your damn business. Stay on the side obediently, or I’ll chop you up as well.”

But he did not return the money to the stall owner.

The woman quickly ran to help her husband up. She shook her head to signal her husband not to provoke the local mafia boss.

Chapter 8: Overbearing and Tyrannical

“Bang~”

The bald man slammed the table where Xiao Luo was at. He watched Xiao Luo with a vicious pair of eyes, “Boy, because of your nosiness, all of my twenty cash cows have been confiscated. Even five of my brothers have been brought in. How do you think I should settle this score? ”

Hatred radiated from his malevolent gaze. The so-called cash cows referred to the children who had been bought by him and then had their legs broken and thrown on the streets to beg.

Because of a little girl who had escaped, the police officer Gu Qianlin, who had always been known as the “Flower of Justice”, led her team to seize their den of illegal activities. Naturally, the blame was pinned on Xiao Luo who had rescued the little girl.

Xiao Luo raised his head and glanced at the bald man indifferently, “Whatever business you have, we can talk about it after I’ve finish eating this bowl of noodles. Now, please distance yourself a little more, because I have no appetite when I look at your face.”

When he finished talking, he buried his head and continued to eat his noodles.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire space became sluggish.

All of the men, who numbered in the dozens, were stumped for words. They could not believe that this fellow could be so calm when he was facing them. Was his head damaged?

In the distance, the middle-aged man dressed in a western suit and leather shoes was also stunned for a period of time. Then, he smiled in comprehension, “He’s neither servile nor overbearing, instead, he’s unperturbed and unhurried. Either he has some real abilities,” he pointed at his head, “or there’s a problem here.”

“Boss, for the sake of your safety, let’s leave.” The bodyguard on the left suggested.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, “No, their goal is that young man. They’re not going to make things difficult for an old man like me.”

He grinned and looked at Xiao Luo who nearly had his head buried in the bowl as he ate. Suddenly, he remembered the days when he came to Jiangcheng to make a living. He still was very young at that time. He often came to the street stalls to eat when he was hungry. There was even once when he was maliciously confronted by dozens of men who came wielding chopping knives to get him to pay his debts.

A sense of empathy suddenly arose in his heart, and his fingers tapped lightly on the surface of the table with great rhythm, “He’s exactly in his prime and full of mettle; an age where he’s full of creativity. It would really be a pity if he fell like this.” He turned his head and ordered the bodyguard on the right, “Leng You, depending on the situation, intervene to help this young man.”

“Yes, boss!” The bodyguard responded respectfully.

At this time, the bald man had returned to his normal composure and immediately became furious.

“Motherf*cker!”

He overturned Xiao Luo’s table and sent it flying. The remaining Sanxian noodles scattered across the ground, and the bowl containing the noodles were shattered.

The bald man stepped on the Sanxian noodles on the ground with great strength. The noodles were stomped on until they resembled nothing more than dirt. He glared furiously with a expression full of loathing and thundered, “Eat, keep eating, don’t you want to eat noodles? Come on, kneel and pick up these noodles that are mushy as sh*t and swallow it. Don’t waste the soup too, lick it clean. If you don’t, I’ll cut your tongue out.” He shoved at Xiao Luo’s shoulder with great force, “Motherf*cker. Why are you still staring so stupidly. You want me and my bros to give you a helping hand? ”

Xiao Luo looked at Sanxian noodles that had fallen all over the ground, the expression on his face slowly grew cold and congealed. He threw away the chopsticks in his hand and slowly stood up. His eyes sharp and fierce as he watched stared coldly at the bald man like a tiger or a leopard.

Hiss ~

Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Their bodies could not help but shiver to dispel a coldness that would not leave. They suddenly had the misperception that the person standing up was a cruel butcher with endless blood on his hands.

The bald man was also slightly stunned. He was about to say something when a big hand stretched out swiftly but silently for him like electricity. Five fingers spread out like a python opening its big bloody mouth on a hunt to clutch his neck. The hand lifted his entire body up. The powerful force around his neck instantly squeezed his windpipe and oesophagus tightly together.

An intense, burning pain and the pain of suffocation flooded his brain. He could not help but make a hoarse muffled sound. His hands kept beating against the iron arm that restrained him, trying to get the other party to release him. But no matter how hard he tried, that hand did not budge in the slightest. It was like a pair of steel pliers had rigidly clamped itself around his neck.

“I said to wait until I’ve finished this bowl of noodles, why do you refuse to listen?” Xiao Luo’s brows scrunched in a deep frown.

The bald man and his dozens of subordinates were dumbfounded. They never expected that such a scene would happen. The power displayed by Xiao Luo really shocked their minds. He lifted their boss and with a single hand. Was he motherf*cking human?

The middle-aged man in the distance opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were filled with surprise.

The two bodyguards next to him were even more stupefied. It was hard to believe that a guy who did not look strong at all could actually lift a big man weighing seventy-five kilograms with one hand. Even they could not do it.

The man with the ugly and ferocious countenance could not help but become alarmed and frightened, “Fight! Let’s save the boss together!”

He shouted loudly, but backed away himself.

The dozens of men immediately reacted. They yelled and raised their machetes and pipes, rushing towards Xiao Luo like a tidal wave. The blades whooshed through the air sword and they were filled with a savage, murderous intent.

Xiao Luo sneered, “I’m retuning him to you!”

He threw the bald man in his hand towards the crowd that was rushing towards him like he was playing shot put.

The bald man flew backwards at an extreme speed. He was like a cannonball about to crush his own subordinates.

Their expressions changed slightly and the five or six people who were rushing at the front of the group reached out to catch him. They thought that with their joint effort to catch the boss, it would be enough to grab a hold of him. But before they could raise their arms, the body of the bald man slammed onto them.

“Crash ~”

Blood sprayed from their mouths. They were like bowling pins that had been hit by a bowling ball. Four of them were thrown backwards and fell down while one collapsed on the ground moaning in pain.

A powerful explosion that shocked everyone!

The dozens of big men forced themselves to stop all movement. They did not dare to act lightly. Their eyes were opened wide and they looked at Xiao Luo in horror.

Just when they became inactive and lifeless, Xiao Luo’s eyes grew cold. He threw two punches without hesitation.

“Bam Bam ~”

It was as if the two closest men were hit hard by a speeding car. They let out a mournful scream as their bodies were flung backwards uncontrollably. Several of their comrades were knocked down in succession before the bodies were stopped. They struggled to get up, but only felt pain in their sternums. Then, two men who managed to push their torsos up spit out blood at the same time and passed out.

The middle-aged man’s pupils suddenly shrank and shock that could hardly be hidden was written all over his face. He never expected that Xiao Luo’s skill would be so overbearing and powerful.

His two bodyguards were also stunned. This class of skill and strength was beyond shocking. They looked at each other and saw incredulity in each other’s.

“Motherf*cker, chop him to death!”

The bald-headed man was seriously injured, but not to the point of passing out. He covered his chest, which felt heavy and extremely painful, as he roared hysterically.

He had heard from the ugly and ferocious looking man that the other party possessed extraordinary skills, but he did not expect that he would be so powerful. But so what? One tiger, no matter how fierce, could not hold off a pack of wolves. No matter how formidable he was, was he not just one person while they were a large group?

Dozens of burly men who were fierce and belligerent even on a typical day rushed towards Xiao Luo. Their postures were reminiscent of a group of hyenas chasing deer.

“You want to be ruthless about this? Okay, I’ll drop everyone who comes today!”

Xiao Luo’s mouth showed a cruel smile. Not only did he not retreat, he moved forward to take the initiative in repulsing their attack.

Chapter 9: Invincible

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The big guy at the head of the thundering mob was running at full speed. With eyes as round as plates, he headed toward Xiao Luo. Before his machete could chop him in two, the guy realized he couldn’t stop the momentum of his feet, and the two men collided.

Ahh

The guy let out a blood-curdling screech as all the bones in his body fractured from the impact of hitting Xiao Luo. He slammed to the ground, skidding four or five meters before coming to a halt. In the process, several men tripped over each other or were knocked down.

Xiao Luo had a taunting smile on his face, his eyes cold. His right hand changed direction to seize another’s man’s left leg that was delivering a kick. He slapped the guy’s leg against his knee and bent it backward in a V shape. An awful scream was heard.

Then he hurled the injured man’s body into the crowd that was following closely behind.

Caught off guard, some of those people lost their footing and fell down, end over end.

Taking advantage of this situation, two guys wielding machetes lashed out at Xiao Luo’s back. He instinctively turned and formed his hands into fists that blasted forth, meeting force with force.

Bam

The two men hugged their dislocated wrists and retreated as they lost their center of balance. The pain was so intense they couldn’t hold back their tears or miserable bawling.

Xiao Luo was like a fierce tiger, a cheetah. He was an unstoppable force!

The men’s expressions changed as their attacks became weaker. They were shocked, but Xiao Luo, who had been provoked into a rampage, didn’t hesitate while rushing madly at them. He carried a lethal aura and a roiling, fiendish intent in his violent attack.

Each move was more vicious than the previous one; his fighting style was strong and fierce as if they were being bombarded by violent storms and gales. Blood was streaming everywhere amid sad, shrill screeching…

By now, there was no trace of anger left in the bald man. His eyes were full of fear, and his body could not stop shaking. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his forehead unceasingly. He never thought the other party would be so fierce. Was he human? No, he was a monster!

In the blink of an eye, this monster-man cut down a dozen people. The middle-aged man in the distance could no longer keep his calm. His eyes and mouth were open wide in a state of total shock.

His two bodyguards also went pale as they stood in shock, horror, and amazement. They were retired veterans of the special forces, state-trained machines, tough and unyielding. From head to toe, they had a perfect mastery of their abilities and believed it would be hard for them to meet a worthy opponent. But they were floored: They did not understand how Xiao Luo had made his moves.

Bam

While these two bodyguards were still in a state of shock, Xiao Luo punted another person, sending him flying seven or eight meters. Then he reached out and grabbed a machete.

With the desolate and chilling aura of death filling the air, he rushed into the crowd and raised the blade to swing it down. The line of the machete flew at a bold and unrestrained speed, whizzing like a tornado as it ravaged the enemies nearby.

One guy after another collapsed in a pool of blood. No one had imagined that the lamb, which was supposed to be a prey, would suddenly turn into a bloodthirsty beast, exposing its savage and cruel fangs.

The ugly, ferocious-looking man–scared witless–had run off a while ago to an unknown location.

When the last guy collapsed, letting out a wretched howl of pain, Xiao Luo turned looked coldly at the bald man, his machete dripping blood that pooled in the ground.

The bald-headed man was stiff, the terror on his face palpable. When he saw Xiao Luo approaching him step by step, he turned white “What, what do you want to do? We… We are the Dragon Gang …” he stammered.

“What is the Dragon Gang!”

Xiao Luo snorted in ridicule in a low voice. In the next second, he was running wildly, like a black smear of tearing wind as he pressed down on the bald man with inhuman strength. Like a wild wolf running madly on the open plains, the machete then cut a gleaming and vicious path in the air. The sword was about to chop down violently with an unstoppable force.

The bald-headed man’s pupils shrank, and his scalp felt numb. The gleaming machete cleared his vision. It was as if he was looking at the Grim Reaper beckoning at him.

Bang

Just as Xiao Luo’s machete was about to descend and split the head of the bald man in half, an ear-piercing gunshot exploded like a sudden clap of thunder, causing everyone to tremble.

“Stop!” s woman shouted sternly.

Bzzz

Xiao Luo’s machete stopped in an instant. It hung in the air atop the bald man’s head like the Grim Reaper’s scythe.

Looking at the bloodthirsty machete, the bald man turned, deathly pale, eyes wide open. A rank and pungent odor rose from his crotch: He had lost control of his bladder and bowels and fainted immediately after. He had totally passed out from fear.

Xiao Luo turned his head and saw that both sides of the streets were blocked by five or six police cars. Two explosion-proof cars tore through the blockade line. There were more than 20 riot police in identical outfits and equipment holding up their shields. They looked intimidating as they struck their poses. There were also ordinary criminal police holding uploaded firearms with muzzles aimed at him.

“You have five seconds to drop the knife!”

A policewoman lowered her gun pointed toward the sky and picked up a loudspeaker from a police officer next to her. She shouted at Xiao Luo’s expressionlessly as she counted down, “Five, four, three …..”

She had fresh, clean, and beautiful features and a tall, athletic, and spirited figure. Her short hair was sleek and coiled behind her ears. Her bright and elegant eyes were pure as water, and her black police uniform could not hide her svelte and glamorous figure.

Xiao Luo remembered that this policewoman was the woman whom he had the providence to meet at the police station earlier in the day.

Although his strength had increased, he did not consider meeting the police head-on. When she counted down to two, he threw the machete on the ground.

Two special police officers rushed up. One placed himself on Xiao Luo’s left and the other on his left as they restrained him.

Looking at the ground full of people who were hurt and groaning in agony, Gu Qianlin’s black brows knitted in a scowl. She said with loathing, “Gathering a group of men together on the streets and using knives to hurt others; you’re disregarding the nation’s laws and the safety of the people. You’ve caused a terrible impact on society. What a bunch of bastards, bring them all in!!! ”

“Yes,” a cadre of police officers responded.

Xiao Luo didn’t want to explain anything now, because he knew it wouldn’t do any good. The police would not listen. His answers would only have meaning after they brought him back into the bureau for questioning.

The middle-aged man dressed in a western suit and leather shoes only stood up after Xiao Luo, and the bald man’s group were taken away by the police.

“Find out that young man’s information. Also, get him a public defender. This young man is mine.”

“Yes, boss!” Leng You answered respectfully.

The next day, in the police interrogation room…..

“Name?”

“Xiao Luo.”

“Age?”

“Twenty-six.”

“Why did you use a knife and hurt someone in public?”

“It was a legitimate case of self-defense!”

Xiao Luo, wearing handcuffs, sat in the interrogation chair. He answered every question Gu Qianlin asked.

“Legitimate self-defense?”

Gu Qianlin snorted and threw the report from the hospital on the table. “Twenty minor injuries and eight serious injuries. All of them are now lying in the hospital’s acute ward. You’re telling me this is legitimate self-defense?”

“Officer, there is the police Skynet surveillance system on that street. Go into the system and look for yourself. You’ll see if what I said is true,” Xiao Luo said calmly.

“I don’t need you to teach me how to handle the case, but I can tell you very regretfully that there are no surveillance cameras at the place where you wielded the knife to hurt others.” Gu Qianlin propped herself with both hands on the interrogation table and stared at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo raised a brow, “There are no surveillance cameras, but surely there are eyewitnesses. The stall owner can prove I was forced to defend myself.”

Chapter 10: An Excuse

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qianlin looked Xiao Luo up and down. Now she recognized him: He was the guy who rescued a little girl from a crime gang earlier and whom she had a brief encounter with outside the entrance to the police station.

It was because of his actions that she was able to crack a criminal gang that cripples kids and forces them to work as street beggars. Today, she saved 20 enslaved children who had their hands and feet broken. Thinking about this made her soften her gaze toward Xiao Luo.

“Team Leader Gu?”

The door of the interrogation room opened, and a police officer leaned half his torso in. It was evident he had something to report.

Before leaving the room, Gu Qianlin ordered the other two officers to continue interrogating Xiao Luo.

“Team Leader Gu, we’ve investigated the identities of those people. The bald guy, Li Dawei, goes by the name Baldie. The other 20 are his subordinates. We now know they’re part of the same group as the five we arrested this afternoon,” the male officer reported dryly.

Gu Qianlin was startled. Suddenly she felt as if everything became clear at once. “So, Li Dawei and his group started the fight to take revenge on Xiao Luo?”

“It looks that way.” I also spoke with the stall owner, who corroborated Xiao Luo’s story. They said he was just sitting there eating his noodles when Li Dawei and his gang suddenly ran over with knives and steel pipes, looking to make trouble. Li Dawei even flipped over Xiao Luo’s table; that’s what started the conflict.”

Gu Qianlin’s gaze drifted. She turned to another topic and asked, “Have you checked Xiao Luo’s biodata?”

“Yes. He was born into an ordinary farmer’s family in Xi Province and graduated from Xisheng Aeronautical University three years ago. He had been working for Huahai Corporation. His parents are one hundred percent farmers. He also has a younger sister who’s married and works as a nurse in a hospital in Jiangcheng. He … ”

Gu Qianlin waved and interrupted, “Xiao Wang, do you think anything’s wrong with this biodata?”

Officer Xiao Wang had a blank expression on his face, not understanding the nature of her question. He shook his head and said, “This is a very ordinary biodata. I found nothing amiss.”

“His biodata is fine, but Xiao Luo has a big problem.”

Gu Qianlin’s black brows knitted slightly, and she said in all seriousness, “He dealt with 28 crime members armed with knives and clubs all by himself. Not only was he not injured, but he caused 20 minor injuries and eight serious injuries. His combat skills put our entire elite SWAT team to shame.

Upon hearing this, officer Xiao Wang understood the problem.

He furrowed his brows and scratched the back of his head. His face was full of astonishment and doubt. “Yeah, Xiao Luo is an ordinary person according to what’s written in his biodata. But how could an ordinary person have such freakish skills?”

“So, there must be a problem with him!” Gu Qianlin asserted.

“But that can’t be right. His biodata clearly states that he neither received any specialized training nor joined any organization. Also, his sister, Xiao Ruyi, who works at the People’s Hospital in Guangming district, confirmed that his biodata records are accurate, not false. Could he have received guidance from an expert when he was a child?”

“What do you mean?”

Gu Qianlin was even more puzzled: How could an ordinary person suddenly become a superhero with terrifying fighting abilities?

Officer Xiao Wang further expounded, “I mean, would there be an expert who happens to live as a hermit in their mountain village? The expert would have seen that he was dealing with a child prodigy and that Xiao Luo possessed an extraordinary physical constitution when he imparted his skills to him. After all, it’s impossible to include something like that in a person’s biodata. ”

“Are you thinking of making a movie now? An expert living like a hermit? Hah!” Gu Qianlin rolled her eyes.

Officer Xiao Wang laughed in embarrassment. He had watched similar movies; that’s how he came up with a wild guess like that.

At that moment, a fresh-faced young police officer came running over and saluted Gu Qianlin. “Team Leader Gu, a lawyer Ge, of Jiangcheng Law Firm, is here to post bail for a man named Xiao Luo.”

Lawyer Ge of Jiangcheng’s Law Firm?

Ge Zhongtian?!

The expression on Gu Qianlin’s and Xiao Wang’s faces changed slightly. Ge Zhongtian was a well-known attorney at Jiangcheng, a top firm. Even if someone had money, it was almost impossible to retain his services if the person had no status. Just who was this Xiao Luo that the likes of Ge Zhongtian would condescend to bail him out?

She had planned to investigate Xiao Luo further, but it seemed unlikely now.

******

“DING! Congratulations. You’ve earned ten points!”

“DING! Congratulations. You’ve earned twenty points!”

…

In the interrogation room, the system notifications sounded in Xiao Luo’s mind. The system had been reminding him of the points he was earning when he started fighting with the bald man and his group. So far, he had accumulated more than 250 points.

The door of the interrogation room creaked open, and Gu Qianlin and Officer Xiao Wang came in. She ordered two other police officers to remove the handcuffs from Xiao Luo.

She said icily, “You’re free to go, Xiao Luo!”

“You’ve confirmed that I acted in legitimate self-defense?” Xiao Luo stood up and asked with a smile.

“Your problem can be legitimate self-defense or excessive self-defense. If it wasn’t because you indirectly helped the police deliver a blow against crime, I wouldn’t be letting you go so easily,” said Gu Qianlin proudly as she stuffed her hands into her pants pocket.

“Oh, it seems that I have to thank Team Leader Gu for your generosity!” Xiao Luo strode toward the door.

“Wait.” Gu Qianlin suddenly stopped him.

Xiao Luo halted and said, “Officer? Is there anything else?”

“Where did you learn your fighting skills? Your biodata made no mention of your receiving any special training.” Gu Qianlin stared at him as if she was interrogating a suspect.

Xiao Luo froze for a moment, then he laughed and said, “I learned from an old beggar in our village when I was a child.”

Officer Xiao Wang was astonished. So I was right with my stupid guess! Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

“What’s the old beggar’s name?” Gu Qianlin carefully observed the microexpressions on Xiao Luo’s face to confirm if he was lying.

“He was a horrible old geezer who used to victimize others for food and drink. I received my fair share of bullying from him when I was a kid.”

“What’s his name?”

“I don’t know his real name; the villagers used to call him Old Loony.”

“Where is he now?”

“He died a few years ago and was buried in the mountains. His body has probably fully decomposed by now.”

Xiao Luo knew this question would eventually come, hence his glib answer. Moreover, there really was a person like that in his village. He came over in the early years to escape famine and beg for food. There would be no cracks in his story if someone wanted to check it out.

Gu Qianlin was demoralized. Asking these questions was the same as not asking. Besides, her skill and technique at observing microexpressions, something she was proud of, seemed to be ineffective now. She couldn’t tell whether Xiao Luo was telling the truth or lies.

…..

At the gate of the police station, Ge Zhongtian, a grizzled man with gold-rimmed glasses, shook hands with Xiao Luo solemnly, “Hello Mr. Xiao!”

Xiao Luo immediately understood why he was released from the police station so quickly.

“You’re the one who bailed me out?”

Ge Zhongtian nodded, “Yes, at Mr. Chu’s orders.”

“Mr. Chu?” Xiao Luo frowned. He couldn’t remember meeting anyone by that name.

“The boss of Chongshan House, Chu Yunxiong!” Ge Zhongtian said with a smile.
