Chapter 13: Fans?
When Lin Rui climbed the eaves again and climbed to his bedroom, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and although Lin Rui, who was lying on the bed with the phantom suit, was very tired, his spirit was extremely excited.
Lin Rui didn't expect such a big harvest from tonight's temporary operation. Looking at the main quest in his mind, which had reached the 25/100 completion level, Lin Rui felt that he could complete the task by taking a few more actions tonight. Of course, today happened to meet the Jeston Gang cleaning up the territory, otherwise Lin Rui would not have made such a big gain.
"I said system, if this task is completed, what will you reward me?" Lin Rui, who was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep for a while, asked in his mind, tonight's operation is over, and the system can also come out to chat with him.
"I don't know, it's not my business. The same answer as before, the system really doesn't seem to have any control over Lin Rui's main quest, as if it is just a task and reward issued on behalf of him.
"Yes, but I don't think it's going to be bad, after all, the newbie quest for the first time as a street hero has already paid a lot of money. "I didn't get an answer here in the system, Lin Rui answered by himself.
"Yes, I guess so. The system replied lightly.
Sensing that something seemed to be wrong with the system's tone, Lin Rui came back to his senses from his beautiful fantasy, "Hey, you seem to be a little wrong today, it seems that something is wrong since I rejected your mission, you won't be angry with me, right?"
"Nope. The tone of the system did not change in the slightest, it was still as flat as ever, but Lin Rui could feel the change in it, and it seemed to become a little indifferent.
"Otherwise, you're giving me some tasks. The kind of small task like before, don't you like to toss me the most?" Although he didn't know why the system had changed, Lin Rui still decided to coax it first. For the system, Lin Rui loves and hates, and Lin Rui has regarded it as a part of his body.
"You've started the main quest, and I don't need to post any more meaningless quests. Moreover, those few tens of bonus points don't matter to you now. As for tossing you, the previous ten years are enough. "There is no small task to be released as Lin Rui wants, and the system seems to have really decided not to toss Lin Rui anymore.
"Hey! I can't say that, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat! Besides, without those small tasks of yours, how boring my childhood would be!" Seeing that the system was becoming more and more serious, Lin Rui was a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said.
"Hehe, boring, that's the life you've always wanted. As if hearing a big joke, the system chuckled.
"System, are you really okay?" Hearing this, Lin Rui couldn't help but ask seriously again.
However, this time the system did not answer again. In Lin Rui's mind, the bright white light that represented the system flickered a few times before disappearing into the depths of his mind.
"System, system!" No matter how Lin Rui shouted in his mind, the light no longer appeared, as if he didn't plan to talk to him anymore.
"System, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the disappearance of that light, Lin Rui thought very suspiciously.
Then, thinking about the changes in the system, Lin Rui slowly fell asleep while practicing "Dragon Tenggong" as usual. Because Lin Rui could practice the exercises in his sleep, this ensured that he had enough energy during the day, which he couldn't do before. It can only be said that the system suggests that Lin Rui take the path of cultivating exercises to strengthen himself is very suitable for him.
The next day, when Lin Rui rode to school in high spirits, he found that the classmates in the class were all gathered in twos and threes to discuss something.
"Hey, Tom, what are you talking about?" Sitting in his seat, Lin Rui pulled Tom, who was chatting happily with his sister, over and asked directly.
"Jackson, you're here!" Tom, who was pulled over by Lin Rui, greeted him with a smile.
"Well, tell me what you're talking about, as if everyone is interested. Lin Rui asked curiously, he always felt that the things everyone discussed seemed to have a slight relationship with him, which was a strange psychological hint.
"Don't you know? There seems to be another amazing street hero on the streets of New York!" seemed to be surprised by Lin Rui's question, and Tom replied seriously.
"The new street hero?!, it won't be ......" Hearing this, Lin Rui's heart moved, they couldn't be talking about themselves!
"That's right, this new street hero only appeared last week. He seems to be only haunting at night, fighting robbers and thieves and street thugs who do bad things. But, he seems to have done something big last night!" Tom suddenly became excited.
"What did he do?" Although it was already certain that Tom was talking about him, Lin Rui was still curious about what they had learned.
"He actually single-handedly dealt with more than a dozen good men of the Jayston Gang, and that was the Jaston Gang! The underworld gang under the Frankenstein family, the largest underworld family in New York, he dared to go to their trouble! Not to mention how strong he is, even this courage is already very admirable!" Tom said here with a look of admiration, this kind of mysterious street hero will always get extra attention from ordinary people.
"Hehe, it's okay. Shaking his head, Lin Rui said modestly.
"What's okay!? You probably don't even know what the Jeston Gang and the Frankenstein family are!" Tom said with some displeasure seeing Lin Rui's lack of interest in his new favorite street hero.
"Uh...... Okay, I'll admit it, he's very powerful, okay!" I didn't expect that one day I would be hit by a friend because of myself, Lin Rui said helplessly.
"That's right!" nodded with satisfaction, and Tom went back to talk to his classmates about the glorious deeds of that mysterious street hero.
And Lin Rui, he sat in his seat speechlessly watching his classmates around him become his "fans". It wasn't until Peter and Harry entered the classroom that Lin Rui felt that he might be able to find someone to talk about something normal. However, when Lin Rui saw Peter walk directly into Tom's circle, he was completely petrified. Spider-Man has also become his little fan brother, and this kind of thing may be able to show off in the future.
"Hey, Jackson, have you heard about that new street hero?" Peter walked over to Tom's side, but Harry approached Lin Rui and asked him with a smile.
"I don't know, but look at them. Smiling helplessly, Lin Rui pointed to Tom and Peter.
"Street heroes always get some attention, and he also provokes the Frankensteins. Speaking of the underworld family, even if it was the young master of the Osborne group, Harry's tone had to be more cautious.
"Hehe, maybe it's just a person who isn't afraid of death. However, the Jayston gang was in trouble with him, would they make a big deal about it?Besides, how could they be sure that the person who troubled them last night was the same person as the street hero who had recently appeared?" Chatting with a calm young master of a big family like Harry, Lin Rui thought of more.
In other words, Lin Rui's original fame was not much at all, and only some guys who had been saved by him or taught by him knew about his existence. However, he only found trouble with the Jeston gang last night, and the next morning, the school classmates knew about it, which was obviously abnormal.
"It is said that last night there was a homeless man who witnessed the battle in the idle area, wearing a black suit and hiding in the night, attacking stealthily and quickly, and his melee strength was very strong. These descriptions are easy to associate with the guy who showed up at night to fight the ruffians, and a little association can be determined. ”
"However, I prefer that the news was released by Jeston. There were a lot of homeless people in the area, but I don't think anyone would dare to pay attention to a fierce shootout. After answering Lin Rui's two questions, Harry's perspective was obviously different from Peter's "fans".
Hearing Harry's words, Lin Rui was also thinking quickly in his heart. He can be sure that there were no homeless people around when he fought last night, so there is a high probability that this news was released by the Jeston gang. Lin Rui didn't think that it was the news released by the two small gangs dealing in drugs last night, but they didn't escape at all last night, and Lin Rui didn't believe that the Jeston gang would let them go.
"So what's the point of them doing this, other than to make this street hero famous?" Although Lin Rui felt that Harry's analysis was correct, he still couldn't figure out why Jaston would do it.
"I don't know, maybe they just want to expose this guy who has the audacity to trouble them? who knows?" Shaking his head, Harry was clearly not going to spend much time on the subject. An emerging street hero, even if it has something to do with the Frankenstein family, doesn't get Harry too much attention.
"Yes? It's possible, it's hard for a passively exposed street hero to remain mysterious. And once you can't keep it mysterious, then the probability of being found is very high. Although Harry just said it casually, Lin Rui felt that this probability was very high.
"I didn't expect you to be so interested in this street hero. Seeing that Lin Rui was seriously analyzing this matter, Harry said with a smile.
"Haha! Waving his hand and playing haha, Lin Rui said that he was not a "fan".
And when Lin Rui and Harry finished chatting, the class bell finally came to mind, and the classmates in the class who got together to talk about Lin Rui also returned to their seats. Lin Rui looked at Tom and Peter with excited faces, but what was the strange smugness in his heart!?
