Chapter 1: The System Arrives || Author: DO_I_HAVE_NO_NAME
Bright neon light occupied every corner of the city, making it look like a sci-fi utopia. This was a nighttime in the city, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter for those who were used to the night life of a city.
Urban night life in the city was bustling, with people moving around from one place to another. Life seemed liked such a rush. But amid the busy city, someone was in a world of hurt in that moment. No one seem to notice the pair of seemingly young couples arguing in front of the Qingshan Central Park, which was the biggest park in Qingshan City.
No one noticed them, or should it be said, no one cared to notice them, not because they were invisible, but because it was a common occurrence.
The girl seemed to be the aggressive party in the argument, while the boy seemed meek and passive.
"What do you mean by ' Who is he'? He is my boyfriend, of course!", the girl shouted,and then stopped to take some breath, while the boy's face was dark and glommy as if the end of world was near.
He was dettered, and asked, not before he was interrupted.
"What?! Xi Mei, how can you-"
"I know what you are thinking and I will finally say it. I. Don't. Love. You, Xiao Chen Break off!"
The girl named Xi Mei interrupted Xiao Feng, and continued, "And also, My boyfriend is so much better. Unlike you, a poor orphan with no money."
"So, it all comes to money at the end? Humph! I should have know earlier!", Xiao Chen said rebuking her. " You are at the end a leacher, but, tell me, why did you be with me at the first place?"
"Nothing much! You were just a bit popular in our class because of you looks. But I have realized that in reality looks doesn't matter. Money and real skills are that really matter. You can only be a boy toy with your looks."
"It's true. But you don't know, or you are avoiding the thought that you are just a use-and-throw for that so-called Young Master Zhao Weng. Do you really believe that you can be with him for long. It won't be so long that you would be thrown aside for another plaything."
"Why do you say so?! Master Weng would never leave me! He loves me so much. He even bought me expensive gifts!" Xi Mei went into denial mode after listening Xiao Chen's words, continuing with," I know why you are saying this! You are jealous that I am with Master Weng. You are jealous with Master Weng because he is richer than you, his family background in unrivaled, he has such a beautiful girl like me as his girlfriend."
" Be as much as delusional as you want, I know what he is like."
*Vroom! *
*Vroom! *
Just as Xi Mei was going to shout another nonsense, a loud 'vroom' sound of a vehicle rang. That vehicle was none other than Porsche 911, a supercar. Even being at the level of entry level supercar, it was an existence that ordinary people could only look up to. The loud engine roar of Porsche 911 startled the nearby people, who hurriedly took out their phones to click pictures.
Black one-sided window of the luxury car rolled down, and a face poked out, and said elegantly," Xi Mei, come quickly. What are you talking about with that roadside Begger? I have booked us a 5-star hotel room."
Xi Mei, hearing that, didn't hesitate and said, " I am coming, honey! ". Turning around, and facing Xiao Chen, her expression changed, and she spoke with disdain," Humph! You saw that, Porsche 911. Even if you sold yourself, you wouldn't be able to buy it's engine, let alone the whole car. I am going, and never try to contact me again. I am worried that my boyfriend mistake us."
After spewing some insults, she hurriedly left for the Porsche, leaving Xiao Chen alone with his coplicated thoughts.
He would be lying if he said that he wasn't sad. He was sad not because Xi Mei left him, but because he was reminded about his reality, reality that he was broke, with no connection.
"That bitch! You wait. Once I become successful, I will be coming for my revenge. For I am Xiao Chen, I never forget, I never forgive."
" One day, you will be begging for mercy under my foot, and that day will mark my revenge complete."
[ Ding! Suitable host found!]
[Interaction Initialization!]
[ loading Sucessful!]
Suddenly, a bunch of messages in a screen. The screen was floating in air.
At first, Xiao Chen was startled by the sudden appearance of a floating screen. He calmed his mind and checked whether he was hallucinating or not but checking his surroundings. Everything looked fine, nothing looked distorted or inverted; everything was fine. Except when, he moved his head, the screen also moved along with his vison.
And then something clicked, " Oh, I think this is what they call.... what was that.... CR no ... VR."
"Yes, VR. Virtual Reality." But the internet said that it could only be accessed by wearing a head set or head gear." He continued his thoughts," What level of technology is this?"
[ Ding! Answering the potential host.... This level of technology is incompressible with your understanding. Even if the best scientist or engineer comes, they would not be able to discern what this is.]
" Wah, how can it read my thoughts? I didn't even speak!", Xiao Chen was already startled by the sudden appearance of the 'system', but when he saw it reacting to his thoughts, he was truly shocked."
"Hey, who.. what are you?"
[ I am system! Designed to help you in your journey. With my assistance, you can be able to cleave mountain, overturn a river, dominate every being in this plane, and conquer the world!]
[ So, Would you like to bond with me and conquer the world?[Y/N]: ]
Xiao Chen was tempted," What is this 'bond' thing?"
System explained,
[ With this bond, we will be officially recognized as one, and you can use my various features to strengthen yourself and conquer world!]
