Chapter 1
An Almighty System From On High
âCarrie! Why do you treat me like this? For the past three or four years, I have given you my heart and soul! I saved money and gave all my money to you, just to show you my sincerity! Why do you still abandon me and be with this middleâaged fat man?â
The boy grabbed the girlâs hand and pointed at the fat old man in his forties aside, completely unable to control his emotions.
âSmack!â
Adrien Higgins looked at Carrie Archer in disbelief as she heartlessly slapped away his hand.
âDonât touch me!! Adrien Higgins, let me tell you! You are just an ordinary university classmate of mine!
What youâve spent on me, including your time and money, means nothing to me. My heart belongs to Mr. Irwin, the man standing in front of you! Youâd better show some respect to me! Donât you dare lay a finger on me!â
Adrien looked at his girlfriend of three years, who had suddenly turned to another man, and tears welled up in Adrienâs eyes.
âNo!! Youâre lying to me!â
âIâm lying to you? Who do you think you are? Why should I lie to you? Look at you! You have no talent or money. Youâve already graduated from college but donât even have a stable job! And you want to pick up girls? You are a loser, a piece of trash. Stay away from me! Otherwise, my honey will make you stay away!â
Carrie did not hide her aversion and disgust toward Adrien at all.
âHoney, letâs go. I donât really know this person. We were just classmates before. Itâs such a bummer that we encounter him. I feel like Iâm contaminated by his poverty! You must buy me a new outfit later.
Iâve already selected a Fendi suit thatâs especially suitable for my delicate figure!â
âKid, let me tell you! My woman is not someone you can touch! You just touched her hand! Now you owe me 3,000 dollars! Give the money, or you will never see the sun rise again!â
Adrien looked at the two in disbelief, filled with anger. âIâll never see the sun rise again? What can you do to me? Iâve been an orphan since childhood, with no one to rely on! You wanna kill me? Come on!â
Adrien was driven mad by his wrath. Wayne Irwin came up to Adrien and slapped Adrien twice in the face. âKid! Iâll hit you. every time I see you in the future!â
Adrien lowered his head in silence. The pain in his heart was far greater than the pain in his face.
âYou loser. If it wasnât for the fact that you were popular and worked hard to earn money to spend on me when we were in college, did you really think I would have noticed someone like you without any background or ability? Hah, youâd better stay away from me in the future! Donât ever come to me again!â Carrie spoke with extreme disdain in Adrienâs ear.
Her words were like a dagger digging into his heart.
Adrien watched as the two walked away side by side, the pain on his face bringing him a moment of clarity.
He worked so hard for three years just to see Carrieâs smile. Now it seemed that Adrien was nothing but a stepping stone for her.
Carrie had ruthlessly trampled on Adrienâs face and shattered all his hopes and dreams for the future.
The gloomy sky over Reburg was terrifying, and the invisible infrabar caused pedestrians to quicken their pace, afraid of being caught off guard by a sudden downpour Adrien walked alone on the street, watching as the storm approached with roaring winds, and the anger in his heart burst forth âYou adulterers!! You two will die in misery!â
After a tirade of curses, people passing by Adrien thought Adrien was crazy, hurrying past Adrien.
Suddenly, the wind seemed to grow stronger and stronger, and Adrien could barely keep his eyes open.
After a final howling wind, he felt dizzy, and his head began to throb.
âDing! The system is generatingâ¦â
âDing! The system has successfully bound to host!â
Hearing that, Adrien quickly knew that he had won the biggest prize in the entire galaxy, a system!
âYes!â Adrien jumped up and down in excitement.
âDing! Detected that the hostâs bank card only has a remaining balance of three dollars. Detected that the host was just humiliated by a scumbag and a vixen. Triggering the first task: Slap the vixen in the face. Host, please go to the Fendi store in Reburg Center Mall and spend 45 thousand dollars immediately!â
Adrien was dumb upon hearing the systemâs words. He didnât even have four dollars, let alone 40 thousand dollars!
However, Adrien also knew the system wouldnât issue stupid tasks. It must have a second step! And he would have the money.
âDing! The hostâs Reburg Bank card ending with 5186 has received a payment of 45 thousand dollars!â
The system was indeed reliable! Adrien couldnât wait to see the expression on Carrie when she saw that Adrien didnât hesitate to spend 40 thousand dollars.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble as heavy rain poured down on Reburg!
Adrien ran in the rain. He was not far away from the Reburg Center Mall, so he thought taking a taxi for such a short distance was a waste of money!
However, Adrien underestimated the power of the heavy rain. Within minutes, he was completely soaked and embarrassed when he arrived.
As soon as Adrien walked into Reburg Center Mall, the security guard at the entrance stopped Adrien.
âWhat? I got soaked, and I want to buy some clothes.â
âAhem, nothing, sirâ The security guard thought Adrien was just seeking shelter from the rain and didnât expect Adrien to be there to shop.
After entering the mall, Adrien was shocked by its luxurious decor. A blast of cold air conditioning blew toward him, but it also ignited the flames of revenge in his heart!
Following the signs inside the mall, Adrien arrived at the Fendi store.
