Chapter 5- Bullies

Everything that came out of Amon's mouth, was very difficult for Yang Chen to believe. However, at this moment he had no choice but to take its word at face value for now.

"I see… then does that mean that I'm the owner of the Greedvil System now?" Yang Chen asked propping his body up.

"Certainly, the Greedvil system belongs to the host" Amon tapped his trident in the air and a black window appeared in front of him.

The Greedvil System looked just like any other menu of a game. At the top right corner of the window, one could see their mischief points and their VIP level.

Just below it were the Character, Inventory and various other options.

Simon opened the inventory and looked at the gifts that he got from one of the three beginner starter packs. Yang Chen had already used the tier one healing potion, so there were only two items left from the first beginner gift.

One of them was the Experience Point Booster, something that could be used when levelling up, and the other one was an Attribute Booster that came inside a shady looking vial.

If the Experience Booster increases the amount of exp that one gains after defeating an opponent, then the Attribute Booster increases the base strength of the player for a short period of time.

All in all, one item increased the experience gained, and the other gave a boost to one strength for a short period of time. Depending on the situation, these two items would play a key role in how the future progresses for him from this point forward.

"Hehh… Yang Chen, to think that you have the audacity to laze around today. Do you think our courtyard and all those clothes will get cleaned by itself? You worthless slave!!".

While Yang Chen was busy sorting out his mind, a voice came from outside his cottage. When he turned his head around to look outside, he noticed that a couple of people were standing in front of his shed.

These people... for some reason they felt very familiar to him. That's right, they were the very same people that used to bully the previous owner of this body since childhood.

As if beating the poor soul until he died wasn't enough, they were back for more. Yang Chen was seething in anger.

Even though he knew that all those torture and beatings was something that the previous soul of this body had gone through, it still frustrated him when he recalled those memories that felt like his own now.

The poor guy was killed by these people and now his soul replaced the other party. That being said, he had no plans of enduring the beating from these guys. He wasn't going to live the life of a slave.

This was his life now and he would live it the way he wanted. Fortunately for him, he had the aid of the Greevil System. It was better to leave this shithole of a place and strive for a beer future. 

But before that, Yang Chen decided to first avenge the years of beating the poor soul took as a consolation.

Well, more so than avenging, one could say that he was doing this for himself. He didn't want to go through the same experience as the previous owner of this body, someone who could only act as a punching bag without being able to dish out any attacks in return.

Thus he clicked on the Attribute Booster displayed in his inventory. The thing materialised itself in his hand the next second. A pale white pill.

"Hahaha… Yang Chen, why aren't you coming out of your shed? Did the beating yesterday make you shit you pants in fright? Haha, if you beg for mercy just like usual, I may go easy on you today. Hmm, that right if you get on your knees and kowtow to me three times while barking like a dog, I'll spare you"

At those words from the guy in the middle, the group of five boys started laughing. from the way they were acting, it looked like the guy in the middle was their leader. 

Yang Chen slowly stepped out of his shed, his face indifferent and cold. They were all from the same clan yet they were so merciless and inhumane towards the previous Yang Chen who was only trying to survive in this world. 

"Kuh, look at him standing in one place. It looks like he is frozen in fear to even move. Let me make him remember how a useless lowly dog should behave when in the presence of his master"

The guy on the right commented. He executed a battle skill and came rushing toward Yang Chen with a punch.

"Hehe, I'll use you to test the power of my new battle skill. Eat this, [Wing Howling Fist]" The former cried out.

The punch bringing forth a howl of wind passed by Yang Chen just as it was about to hit him on the face. 

What!! The boy who didn't think that Yang Chen would actually dare to dodge his fist, was a step too late to react what came next. 

With his wide furious eyes he saw the slave shove something into his mouth, it looked like a pill. That said, before he could understand what was going on, a kick came smashing towards his stomach.

BANG...

The enormous blow sent him rolling back to the place he was standing on a few seconds ago.

Kugh.. the boy crashed on the ground and threw out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the other four had incredulous looks on their face. Even for them who had witnessed the whole thing, it was hard for them to believe their eyes.

The slave that was their punching bag, the dog that they could trample on every day for their amusement and entertainment had actually bared its fangs against them?!!

"You bastard… have you gone insane? Do you know what will happen if you attack us? The Elders will throw you into the prison and your fate will be far more miserable than death" the boy in the middle who was their leader, barked.

"I don't care anymore"

Yang Chen replied stretching his body. A faint red mist radiated out of his body in the form of perspiration, filling his body with strength he had never known could be dished out by his body.

As he was still getting used to his new body, that attack earlier was not his best. He can do it, if he tried his best, he can defeat all of them with the aid of the attribute booster.

As for the boy who was sent coughing blood from his kick, he didn't really care much. They were the ones who came to him with ill intent. If he just submitted to their violence, it would mean he was no different than the previous owner of this body. 

He was not the previous Yang Chen that they knew of, someone who would only silently endure in the face of their brazen discrimination. No, he was someone who believed in an eye for an eye.

Since these people were here to look for trouble, he would give them exactly what they wanted.

Violence!!

Memories of the previous owner of the body came flooding his mind and made his blood boil even more. Yang Chen clenched his hands, the red mist radiating out of his body churned and he charged towards the four people.

Now that the attribute booster was in effect, he felt strength flowing through every part of his body. From that exchange earlier he understood that his current state was more than enough to take care of these people.

Even though this body of his was malnourished and hardly had any muscles, thanks to the effect of the pill, these people might as well be moving in slow motion in his eyes.

Hence it was easy for Yang Chen to take care of these mobs who appeared in every game. Now that he had decided to embrace this life, he would make them his precious experience points.

Levelling begins!!!
