Life Changing System

Bai Chen got back home at a little bit past six in the evening. He parked his bicycle at the side of his house and went in with a deep frown; this was because the mission-accomplishment window had not popped up yet.

He could only wonder why it did not pop up. Could it be that he had not completed his mission after all?

“Little Chen, what made you return so late?” As soon as he entered, his mum, who was decluttering and cleaning the house, shouted out a question.

“I went for a stroll at Xing Xiang Park, mum,” replied Bai Chen.

“Oh, you were walking around the park. Okay then, hurry up and go take a shower first before you come down for dinner,” his mum responded.

“Okay, mum.” The boy nodded to at his mother before walking upstairs. He showered hurriedly, changed his clothes, and went down to have dinner with his parents.

After finishing their meal, Bai Chen returned to his room on the second floor. He was feeling quite down because it looked like Mission 4 was not complete yet. The success window still had not popped up.

He sat on his bed and was about to open the system to see what was going on, but a mission-accomplishment window suddenly appeared.

Ding!

[Mission Complete!]

Mission4: Save a genius young lady who is going blind (Success)

Reward: You have received 30 points and the opportunity to receive special skills or items at random!

---

Bai Chen blinked, looking at the transparent white window that had appeared with a relieved expression. He sighed a little. He could not help but feel excited. This time he had gotten himself a lot of points and one chance for randomisation.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Bai Chen quickly opened the Life Changing System window to check.

[You have 1 opportunity to get special skills or items at random.]

After checking the detail window, the corners of Bai Chen’s mouth lifted up into a smile. “Thirty points left, and I’ll level up. Now, please give me a nice item.”

He chose the randomise feature without hesitation. Bai Chen pressed his fingertip onto the roulette wheel.

A roulette wheel with alternating red and black pockets appeared, with the words ‘skills’ or ‘item’ written on them.

​ Bai Chen did not waste time. He quickly pressed the button in the centre of the roulette wheel.

The roulette wheel began to spin rapidly. Many seconds later, it started to slow down and stopped at the…skills tab!

Ding!

[Congratulations, you have received a low-grade martial arts technique!]

---

Bai Chen’s eyes widened with surprise. He had never thought that he would gain a special skill. This was all quite different from his expectation, as he wanted special items more.

“Never thought I would get a special skill.”

He, nevertheless, could not help but check the description of the low-grade martial arts technique, because this was the first time that he had ever received a special skill.

---

[Low-grade martial arts technique]​

Description: A long, long time ago, a young master of the Hua Xan Sect created this martial arts technique. It has powerful punching and kicking combat moves. Those who practice this technique are believed to have a strong steel-like body that cannot be hurt either by knives or by swords. However, it is just a small part of the whole technique, thus making it of a low grade.

Grades of Special Skills: Low, Medium, High, Supreme

---

As soon as his eyes swept across the description, his brain was flooded with different types of combat moves. There was quite a lot of knowledge, and it made him feel as if he had been trained with this technique for a really long time.

“So, this is what it’s like getting a special skill,” he mumbled to himself with great surprise. Bai Chen had never imagined that this was how it would be. Now he was quite sure that he would be able to take down 20 to 30 hooligans very easily.

His eyes were filled with joy. Having the ability to fight would help him protect both himself and his parents.

If he had to fight Ba Guan, who had previously hidden illegal drugs in his room in accordance with Wang Chengye’s orders, it would definitely be a piece of cake!

After learning the low-grade martial arts technique, Bai Chen clicked to see details of the new mission. He chose to look at Mission 6, but not Mission 5, because he had already seen it.

---

[Mission 6: Solve a problem you encounter in the morning.]

Instructions: You'll run into a problem tomorrow morning. Please resolve it.

Reward for success: Win 10 points

Penalty for failure: None

---

Reading through the details of the mission made him frown a little, because this mission did not clearly lay out specific details about what he had to do like the previous ones.

It told him to solve a problem, but would not tell him what the problem would be.

“But it probably won’t be that difficult because it’s only worth 10 points.”

Despite being a bit curious about the new mission, Bai Chen did not think that it would be hard to solve, because the reward that he would get was only 10 points.

The past missions had made him more aware of how the mission mechanics worked, with one of the rules being: the more points given, the tougher the mission would be.
