Life Changing System

Bai Chen went through his morning routine like how he usually had every day 12 years ago in his previous life. He got up, showered, changed, went downstairs for breakfast with his parents, helped with preparations in the shop, and left home for school.

He left his house on the same bicycle, traveling the same road he used yesterday to get to Xing Xiang School. Today was also like yesterday. He was greeted with warm smiles by many people in the business district.

Bai Chen also smiled back. The weather today was quite nicer than yesterday, so the boy pedalled his bicycle slowly to enjoy today’s pleasant atmosphere.

When he cycled past the spot where the mysterious man was yesterday, he was nowhere to be seen. Bai Chen rode past without giving it much thought, though.

He thought that once his mission ended, he had no reason to care about the mysterious guy anymore.

As he was about to reach the school on his bicycle, Bai Chen heard a sound in his head. A mission window popped up all of a sudden.

Ding!

[Mission Complete!]

Mission 5: Take a night’s rest (5 points)

Reward: You have received 5 points.

---

Bai Chen pulled over on the side of road, looking at the system window that had popped up with a hint of disappointment that he did not get the roulette offer of the roulette wheel this time. He knew though that getting such an opportunity was not always the case.

Nevertheless, he was quite happy because he had been waiting for this mission to be over since he had gotten up this morning.

“Only 25 points left.” Bai Chen thought to himself that he would definitely complete missions today to earn 25 points so he could level up. He then called up the mission window to see the details of the new mission.

[Mission Dashboard]

Mission 6: Solve a problem you encounter in the morning (10 points)

Mission 7: Apologise to a resentful woman (15 points)

Further Instruction: The order of mission completion is irrelevant. After you are done with the tasks assigned to you, you will be given a chance to receive special skills or items at random. The skills or items will give you a better life!

---

Bai Chen stared at the mission dashboard with an odd feeling. He found the new mission quite bizarre.

Apologise to a resentful woman? What in the world was this mission?

With burning curiosity, he didn’t waste time in pressing to see the details of Mission 7.

---

[Mission 7: Apologise to a resentful woman.]

Instruction: A cute girl has harboured ill feelings and anger towards you in the past. If you don’t hurry up and apologise to her now, your relationship will come to an end.

Reward for success: Win 15 points

Penalty for failure: Your relationship with her will be severed!

After checking out the mission details, an image of an adorable girl popped into his head. Bai Chen could not help but smile. The girl in his mind right now was Li Lin.

“Even if I didn’t get this mission, I would’ve apologised to her anyway,” Bai Chen said to himself while shaking his head. But he thought that this would work too since it was like killing two birds with one stone.

“Wait, if this mission rewards 15 points, then when combined with Mission 6, I would get exactly 25 points!”

When he realised this fact, Bai Chen had to smile happily. It was now certain that he would reach Level 2 today.

“Let’s hurry up and go to school to complete more missions then,” said Bai Chen. He continued to ride his bicycle to school, which was already quite nearby.

A few moments later, Bai Chen arrived at the school. He hurried off to park his bicycle in the parking lot first.

After he had parked, Bai Chen prepared to walk up to class.

It was at that moment that the mission window appeared in front of him, with a green arrow pointing in one direction.

[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

“I was waiting for this.” Bai Chen was already itching to complete a mission. When one appeared, how could he not be eager? He hurriedly followed where the arrow pointed.

After turning the corner of a building, he was stunned by what he saw. Five schoolboys had surrounded a boy with glasses, who looked frightened.

One of the boys in the gang was someone he knew very well… Ba Guan!

Bai Chen did not intervene to stop this problem right away. He hid himself around the corner of the building to observe what was happening.

“W-what do you guys want?” the boy with glasses said timidly. His face was slightly pale when he looked around at the five guys surrounding him.

Ba Guan, who appeared to be the leader of the pack this time, smiled a little. “The four-eyed nerd, Qian Bei, I heard you are extremely wealthy. Won’t you share some of your cash with us?”

“That’s right. I heard you are quite wealthy. Sharing with us a little bit won’t hurt, will it?”

As Ba Guan finished speaking, a boy with an ugly face spoke. This guy was called Yong Gua. He was one of Ba Guan's most loyal sidekicks.

“As Boss Ba Guan and Yong Gua said, hurry up and give us cash!”

“Yeah, if you don’t, you know what will happen to you, right?”

The other three made their threats as well. Their eyes were black with greed when they looked at the meek chubby sheep called Qian Bei.

“H-how dare you guys threaten to extort me? I’ll never give you anything!”

Qian Bei’s face lost even more colour. He felt that today was indeed an unfortunate day for him. Never had he thought that these classroom thugs would try to extort him like this.

Even though he did have cash, he would never, ever want to give it to them!
