Chapter 1: A System of Pride and Dignity
Sioux City.
Winter.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and there was a little cold and gloom in the air.
At night, Sioux City Middle School, except for the classrooms where the dormitory students study on their own, was already dark, and the hustle and bustle of the school day two hours ago turned into silence.
Suddenly, in the remote and desolate back street, a small door that was not commonly used opened gently, and Gu Cheng first poked his head out to observe a few times before quietly flashing out.
He was a little short, thin, and popular-looking, wearing a faint light blue school uniform and sneakers without a logo, and belonged to the kind of ordinary student who could not attract attention in the crowd.
After trotting like a cat for a few dozen meters in the shadow of the fence, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Looks like the guys can't wait impatiently and have gone back.
"Stinky boy, I thought you would stay in school for the rest of your life and not come out!" A gloomy voice came, making Gu Cheng's luck just now go away with the wind.
He suddenly stopped, calmly watching the eight figures that gradually emerged from the darkness, approaching without hurry, like a wolf surrounding its prey and having everything under control.
These are the little gangsters in the neighborhood. The one who has just spoken, has yellow hair, and is angry in the flow is nicknamed Yikun, "Kun" is probably a word in his name, and "Yi" should refer to Yiqi.
This person prides himself on putting righteousness first, but in fact, compared with those well-known figures, these people are not at all fashionable, and doing things for others has nothing to do with righteousness.
In other people's comments, it is not in the stream. These guys only know how to do some bad things such as walking the streets, idleness, bullying the weak, and annoying people, and their skills can only be regarded as street fights.
It's a pity that Gu Cheng's family background is a commoner among civilians, and his skills are even worse among the worst, and the worst of these gangsters is also half a head taller than him, and he is stronger.
He tried to escape the first time he was blocked, and he tried to resist, and the next few times, he was too lazy to carry out such pointless attempts.
"How's it going?"
The gangsters surrounded Gu Cheng in the middle in a semicircle, and the tall Yikun stood at the front, hanging his head disdainfully, with a cold expression: "What you have to do is very simple, put the things I gave you into the water that your head teacher drinks, and then inform me, you don't have to worry about other things, and it has nothing to do with you if something happens, it's very simple, understand?"
Gu Cheng was silent, raised his head slightly, and looked at Yikun indifferently, with the stubbornness and persistence unique to young people in his eyes.
"Do you know that this matter was arranged by Brother Qiang. You should know who Brother Qiang is, right? The eldest and youngest of Fengmu Security Company, the son of the boss of our boss! There are many people who want to curry favor with Brother Qiang and do things for Brother Qiang, and not everyone has a chance! If it weren't for the fact that the whole school was close to that Teacher An and had a chance to start, do you think this kind of beauty would be your turn?"
Yikun was a little impatient, suppressed his anger, and said bitterly: "If you do this, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to you! If someone dares to bully you in the future, you just have to report my name as Yikun!"
Gu Cheng grinned, and struggled to hold back the smile, the meaning of which was obvious: Your name of Yikun is a fart!
"Why are you laughing at?" Yikun's face approached again, full of oppression: "Is your skin itchy again? Do you think it's not cool enough to beat me a few times? Now you just offended me and suffered some flesh and skin, if Brother Qiang gets angry one day, I guarantee that your whole family can't stay in Sioux City, do you know how to fight?"
This full threat did not bring panic to Gu Cheng, but it seemed to ignite a flame that had been suppressed for a long time.
"What I hate most in my life is you hooligans who are inferior to beasts! I won't do that kind of thing if I am killed!
As he spoke, he clutched Yikun's collar tightly, with an unforgettable hatred on his face, which made the latter stunned for a moment.
Yikun is only familiar with the submissive Gu Cheng, and the Gu Cheng in front of him is a little strange and a little scary.
After a long time, he reacted, Yikun knocked off his hands that were clutching his collar, and pressed Gu Cheng against the wall.
Even so, he still felt that his face had been severely attacked, and it was difficult to step down, so he couldn't help but twist his face and say viciously: "We just want to do this in a relatively gentle way, and even if you don't agree, we have thousands of other ways! Do you think the woman that Brother Qiang has taken a fancy to can escape? Toasting and not eating and punishing can only make you suffer, but it can't change anything!
He thought that this statement would have an effect, but he was still responded to by silent protest, an imperceptible smile, and two unyielding glances, like sharp knives.
"Grass!
Gu Cheng was thrown to the ground with a strong force, and then his fists and kicks fell on his thin body like a storm.
He could only hold his head and curl up in a ball, avoiding the vital points as much as possible and mitigating his injuries, which was also a valuable experience he summed up after several conflicts.
This time the beating was longer and heavier, and every thug was angry or relieved, but only Yikun was still unwilling.
"We're wasting two more hours of our weekend!"
As he spoke, he landed a heavy kick.
"Let you look at me like that!"
Then, again, it was ruthless.
Yikun was half angry, lifted Gu Cheng up, took out a medicine bottle and shook it.
"I'll give you one last chance! Take it well, let An Yueqing drink it within 3 days, and then notify me immediately! Otherwise, I promise that the next step will be more than just being beaten!"
This time, Yikun waited for the eyes to finally have less uncomfortable feelings, but more confusion, which made him think that the threat had worked, and he was secretly a little proud.
And the reason why Gu Cheng was confused was that in front of his eyes, a strange picture appeared, floating in the air.
Subject: Yikun
Physique: 55
Sensitivity: 51
Outbreak: 48
Perception: 34
Spirit: 40
Glamour: 28
Morality: 28
What is this? It seems to be the in-game stats screen.
The unknown is more overwhelming than the pain, but fortunately, a voice soon rang in my ears.
"The host has been detected and the system is binding. ”
"The host attribute was identified to be too low, and the binding was temporarily suspended. This system is a proud and dignified system, and not all hosts are bound to be eligible. ”
"If you want to continue binding, please complete the following test tasks. ”
"Test Mission: Cause someone to reduce any 1 stat value for 1 hour. Completion Reward: System Binding. Failure penalty: The system will not recognize the identity of the host, and the host's memory will be erased. ”
As the sound of the machine but not losing its modulation and frustration drilled into his ears word by word, Gu Cheng's mood also experienced ups and downs like a roller coaster.
The word system is not unfamiliar at all, the protagonists in countless novels have been reborn in adversity because of the system, and they have reached the top, and Gu Cheng also believes that he can get through the difficulties in front of him with the system.
But!
A broken system dares to blatantly discriminate against himself, so where is his pride and dignity!
Gu Cheng forced himself to calm down first, and then swept over his attribute value.
