Lin Chen had just arrived at the school gate when he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
With a delicate face and perfect curves, topped with a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, it was one of the four campus beauties, Zhao Xiaowen.
"Lin Chen, I finally caught up with you. We agreed to start a restaurant together, yet you ended up throwing all the responsibility onto me," Zhao Xiaowen said discontentedly.
Lin Chen gave an awkward smile, "Haven't you always said you wanted to learn cooking from me? This is giving you practical experience."
"Humph, I don't care, you have to make it up to me by cooking some dishes I've never eaten before," Zhao Xiaowen pouted.
"Alright, I'll find an opportunity to cook some delicious food for you personally," he said confidently, knowing that with the Shopkeeper system, making delicious food was no challenge.
The two were chatting happily when suddenly a Porsche drove into the campus not far from them.
The campus had a speed limit of twenty miles per hour, but this car was going at least eighty, which was very dangerous in a campus filled with students.
As the Porsche sped toward them, Lin Chen frowned at the sight of the car coming directly at them.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen reached out, pulling Zhao Xiaowen into his arms; if he hadn't reacted quickly, the car could have hit her.
At that moment, the Porsche screeched to a halt in front of them, and a young man dressed in brand-name clothes stepped out.
He removed his glasses and looked at them arrogantly, his gaze quickly settling on Zhao Xiaowen beside Lin Chen.
Lin Chen had thought this guy would apologize after getting out of the car, but instead of apologizing, his lecherous eyes kept roaming over Zhao Xiaowen.
"Damn, Xiaowen is my girlfriend; how can I let this scumbag ogle her ?" Lin Chen's brows furrowed.
"Kid, how do you drive? You almost hit us, don't you think you should apologize?" Lin Chen said coldly.
"Apologize? Kid, I, Tang Yun, have never apologized before, and haven't you heard the saying 'good dogs don't block the path'?" the young man sneered.
Hearing Tang Yun's arrogant response, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ding dong, you have received a system task: Teach a lesson to the young master Tang Yun. Task objective: Slap him ten times and make him beg for mercy."
"System, I task," Lin Chen said excitedly. Teaching a lesson to reckless young masters was his specialty.
Seeing that Lin Chen was unresponsive, Tang Yun sneered and said to Zhao Xiaowen, "Miss, there's some distance to the academic building. Why don't you ride in my car?"
Zhao Xiaowen looked at the arrogant Tang Yun with a cunning smile at the corner of her mouth, "Alright, as long as you deal with my classmate here to my satisfaction, I'll go with you."
Hearing Zhao Xiaowen's words, Lin Chen's expression stiffened slightly; this girl was truly a troublemaker!
"Really?" Tang Yun said gleefully. In his eyes, Lin Chen was just a country bumpkin, the kind of person he could handle swiftly.
Tang Yun gave Lin Chen a cold look and pulled out a stack of cash from his pocket, throwing it on the ground.
"Here's five thousand yuan as compensation for earlier. Take the money and disappear immediately," Tang Yun said coldly.
Lin Chen looked at the five thousand yuan on the ground, a playful smile appearing on his face: "Kid, there are two kinds of people I love to beat up. One is those who show off with money, and the other is those who think they can woo every pretty girl they see. Unfortunately for you, you just happened to meet both criteria."
"What did you say? You want to fight me?" Tang Yun laughed heartily as if he had just heard a very funny joke.
It was a busy time in the campus, and as the standoff unfolded, quite a few people gathered around.
"Tang Yun, the young master Tang, how did he transfer to our school?" Seeing the young man, everyone was shocked.
Among the four notorious troublemakers in DY, Tang Yun was ranked first.
Tang Yun's name was infamous in the elite circles. With the powerful backing of the Tang family, he did whatever he pleased in DY, leaving a trail of reprehensible acts behind him.
When he was in junior high, in his pursuit of a girl, he had stabbed a classmate from a neighboring class to death, and not only did he avoid jail, but he also didn't even receive a penalty.
In his first year of high school, similarly for a girl, he crippled her boyfriend and again, nothing happened to him.
Such incidents were numerous, and this time Tang Yun transferred schools because he had forcibly humiliated a girl who, stubborn in nature, ended up jumping off a building; due to the severe negative impact, he had to transfer from the provincial city to DY High School.
Seeing Lin Chen daring to offend Tang Yun, many who knew of Tang Yun's background looked at him with pity in their eyes.
Tang Yun was vindictive and ruthless; offending him meant either death or disability.
In DY, almost everyone avoided mentioning Tang Yun's name, yet Lin Chen was actually challenging him.
"This guy must be sick of living!"
"He's done for, offending Young Master Tang."
Ignoring the crowd's discussion, he walked slowly towards Tang Yun and said coldly, "So, is there a problem with me hitting you?"
Tang Yun laughed wildly, "Kid, no one in DY has ever dared to touch me, Tang Yun."
"Turns out it's the great Young Master Tang!" Lin Chen's smile deepened.
Tang Yun, with an arrogant face, said coldly, "If you know what's good for you, kneel and knock your head on the ground ten times. I might consider letting you off."
"Really? But I don't even know who Tang Yun is," Lin Chen said as he raised his hand!
A loud slap landed on Tang Yun's face.
Hearing the slap, the surroundings suddenly went quiet, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the palm imprint on Tang Yun's face.
"My God, this kid actually hit Young Master Tang!"
"He's totally doomed now!"
Tang Yun stumbled back, covering his swollen cheek, almost dumbstruck.
Since he was a boy, not even his parents had ever laid a finger on him, yet today he had been slapped by a kid from the countryside.
"You dare hit me!" Tang Yun snarled, swinging his fist toward Lin Chen.
But as he lifted his fist, another slap fell on his other cheek.
"So what if I hit you? Bite me!" Lin Chen sneered.
"Slap!" Another slap rang out.
"Do you know who I am? You're dead!"
"Slap!" The sound of a slap echoed again.
The sound of loud slaps reverberated throughout the campus.
After ten slaps, the handsome Tang Yun had already turned into a pig-head."
"Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host Lin Chen for completing the task of teaching the wastrel. You have earned 1 popularity point."
Hearing the system's voice, Lin Chen grinned joyously, this point of popularity had come too easily.
Tang Yun, holding his swollen cheek, glared venomously at Lin Chen.
"Not convinced, are you?" Lin Chen taunted him as he looked at Tang Yun.
Although Tang Yun was furious inside, he was genuinely scared of Lin Chen. He had tried to resist, but against Lin Chen, he had no chance at all.
"Kid, you wait, this isn't over," Tang Yun backed away, got into his Porsche, and sped off.
"My God, he actually scared Tang Yun away!"
"So what? Offending Young Master Tang, this kid is finished!"
"He actually slapped Young Master Tang, this kid is definitely dead meat."
Faced with the people's remarks, Lin Chen smiled faintly, took Zhao Xiaowen's hand, and said, "Wife, let's go!"
"My God, this kid is actually holding Zhao Xiaowen's hand!"
"He just called Xiaowen 'wife'!"
A chorus of lamentations rose in the campus.
