Chapter 11: The System Is Going Crazy Again?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Thinking of telekinesis, he thought of the crazy system. It was precisely because the system had gone crazy the day before yesterday that he had free telekinesis and two other rewards. Three years of lifespan and a healthy and young body.

With anticipation, he opened the system screen. Chen Chu’s heart was beating wildly. There was another line of text on the screen.

[Ding! You have completed your first mission.]

[Mission Reward: Three years of lifespan, cancer medicine (both available)]

[Additional Reward: A Mouth of the Marrow Cleansing Spring (An inexhaustible spring, the spring is endless day and night.)]

Good lord, was the system going crazy again?

…

Chen Chu suddenly received a message from his mother, Yang Yumei. His phone vibrated. He secretly took a look and saw a message from his mother.

[Son, I’ve told your principal that you don’t have to attend evening self-study anymore. Mom knows you’re studying. You don’t have to reply to my messages.]

Just like that, Chen Chu had the privilege of not having to attend evening self-study. Time passed quietly. A day had passed, and tomorrow was the weekend off. After school in the afternoon, Chen Chu packed his bag, greeted Wang Hai, and gave him the remote control of the air conditioner. “Dahai, I’m going home. I’ll give you the remote control. Remember to turn off the air conditioner after the evening self-study. If it doesn’t work, set a timer. I’m leaving, see you on Monday!”

Wang Hai was dumbfounded. “No, there’s still evening self-study later!”

Chen Chu held his bag with one hand and gave him the middle finger. “Hey, I won’t be attending evening self-study anymore. Bye~!”

Wang Hai’s eyes widened. “F*ck! F*ck me!”

When he walked out of the school gate and was waiting for the bus, Chen Chu’s phone rang. Chen Chu took out his phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number, but the ending number was six eights. It was abnormally familiar. But he couldn’t remember where he had seen it before.

“Hello?” Chen Chu answered the call.

“Hello, is this Chen Chu?” A deep male voice sounded from the other end.

Chen Chu’s eyes widened in an instant. He subconsciously looked at his phone screen. It was Chen Baijia! “Ah, you’re President Chen Baijia?”

“Haha, why? You didn’t save any name to the number? Or did you not save my number in your contact list at all?” Chen Baijia teased with a hint of a smile.

Chen Chu stuttered, “Ah, no, no, I just didn’t expect you to call me.” He thought that he would not be able to call this number for a long time. At the very least, he had to wait until after graduation if Chen Baijia still remembered his words at that time. Therefore, he did not enter the number into his contact list.

“I invited you over for tea when you’re free. I’ve been waiting for you for two days, but you didn’t call. So I called you. Why? Do you think I, Chen Baijia, have a generation gap with you and don’t want to chat with me?”

Chen Chu said awkwardly, “No, no. I was just too embarrassed to disturb you.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? Tomorrow is the weekend off. Come to my house for tea. Take my business card and you can go in and out of the door. Alright, that’s it! I’ll wait for you.”

Perhaps knowing that Chen Chu would be timid and postpone it, Chen Baijia hung up without giving Chen Chu a chance to refuse.

Chen Chu was a little conflicted. He scratched his chin and sighed. He could only go. Others wouldn’t have a chance even if they wanted to.

…

When he got home, his father was watching a basketball game on the sofa. It was a basketball game today, and it was replayed. But his father was still watching with relish. “Good shot!” “In!” “Beautiful!”

His mother was cooking, and the pots and pans were frying noisily. The meat stall in his house was mainly in the morning market. Usually, it would close at around 11 in the morning. Other than working hard in the early morning and the morning, they basically rested in the afternoon to catch up on their sleep.

“Dad!” Chen Chu called out to his father, who was focused on watching the game. Then, he shouted into the kitchen, “Mom! I’m back.

“Son, you’re back? Dinner is ready. Come, let’s eat.”

The family of three gathered around the dining table to eat. His father did not forget to poke his head out to watch the basketball game.

Yang Yumei rolled her eyes. “Eat properly!” His father answered perfunctorily. Yang Yumei ignored him and looked at Chen Chu with a smile. “Son, I encountered something strange today. I had originally wanted to give your principal a gift to ask him to do something, but before I could give him the gift, it was done! I even brought back two cigarettes and a box of tea leaves. I can’t even reject him.”

Of course, Chen Chu knew why Principal Lin was naturally unwilling to accept the gift. On the other hand, Principal Lin even offered two cigarettes and a box of tea leaves. This was something he did not expect.

Yang Yumei continued to mutter, “Today, I finally know what it means to be so unyielding when asking someone for help. No, what do you think the principal wants? I feel uneasy. This gift makes my heart tremble.”

Yang Yumei only thought that something was wrong after she left the school. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. She asked for help while standing, and she even accepted the gifts. She was unyielding, and she was feeling good.

However, when she came back to her senses later, she was only left with anxiety. She wanted to go back and return the things, but she had already taken them. Wouldn’t she be slapping others’ faces if she returned them? So she could only go home.

Chen Guoqiang interjected, “Since you’ve already accepted it, don’t regret it anymore. In any case, this is the situation in our family. If they need our help, we can’t help. When the time comes, we’ll just find an excuse to add something and send the gift back.”

Chen Chu was not in a hurry. Not to mention anything else, Chen Baijia had donated ten million yuan to the school. In Principal Lin’s eyes, his family had a close relationship with Chen Baijia. He was returning the favor.

It’s no big deal. And there was nothing they couldn’t accept. It was just these two cigarettes and a box of tea leaves. It was not like he was giving them a house or a car. He was dreaming if he thought that he would be able to accomplish something big with this little thing.

In short, Principal Lin didn’t need him for small matters and couldn’t invite him for big matters.

Chen Chu also had confidence in his heart. The system was crazy. Just the things he had obtained for free over the past few days made him full of confidence. There were many things to write about here. If he used it well, even if he didn’t have Chen Baijia’s tiger skin, Principal Lin would still have to look up to him.

With this thought in mind, he suddenly felt enlightened. It was better to rely on oneself than on others.

Hmph, a mere Chen Baijia was nothing more than…

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Chen Baijia still had a few hundred million yuan, though he could not find much formal information on the Internet. It was not because Chen Baijia was not famous, but because he did not allow his information to appear on the Internet. That was all. Because he didn’t allow it, none of the media outlets on the Internet dared to report it.

Well, please exclude the official media. Chen Baijia was not that impressive to affect the official media. It was purely because Chen Baijia kept a low profile and did not do anything big that was worthy of being reported by the official media.

Only a few bits of gossip about Chen Baijia were circulating online. With the connections he had built over the years, Chen Chu would never be able to catch up.

Of course, Chen Chu also felt that he was full of confidence. Perhaps in the future, he could also pat Chen Baijia’s shoulder and call him Old Chen. It was a little too much to call him Little Chen. After all, he was quite good to him.

Chen Chu ate while thinking about something. He lowered his head and ate quickly. Soon, he finished his meal, washed the dishes, and returned to his room to do his homework. At nine o’clock, he played games for a while and trained his telekinesis. At eleven o’clock, Chen Chu was lying on the bed on time, covered with a blanket, his face peaceful.
