The night dragged on in silence. Lin Feng sat at his desk, staring at the glowing digits on his banking app. One hundred yuan. It wasn't much—but it was proof.
The Supreme Life System was real.
He closed his eyes, taking a long breath. Just hours ago, his world had collapsed—his girlfriend betraying him, his tuition due, his future in ruins. Yet now, a sliver of light had broken through the darkness.
"System…" Lin Feng spoke cautiously, his voice trembling with both fear and excitement. "What are you?"
> [This System exists to guide the host onto the path of a supreme life. Knowledge, wealth, power, and destiny—everything the host desires can be achieved through completing missions.]
Lin Feng's pulse quickened. Supreme life…?
Before he could ask further, the voice continued:
> [New Mission unlocked!]
[Mission: Write and publish a professional-level programming script.]
[Reward: 1,000 yuan. Additional reward: Basic Knowledge Module – Computer Science.]
[Time Limit: 24 hours.]
Lin Feng's eyes widened. Programming? He had only taken one beginner's course last year, and his knowledge was laughably shallow. But as the mission appeared, a flood of information surged into his mind. Concepts, coding structures, advanced algorithms—it was as though he had studied computer science for years.
His fingers moved across the keyboard instinctively, faster and faster. Lines of flawless code appeared on the screen.
Two hours later, the program was complete—a clean, efficient script that could optimize database processing. Even Lin Feng himself was stunned at its perfection.
"Is this… really my work?"
> [Mission complete. Reward granted.]
[1,000 yuan has been deposited into host's bank account.]
[Basic Knowledge Module – Computer Science integrated.]
Lin Feng's phone buzzed. His account balance had jumped by a thousand.
He nearly cried. One night ago, he couldn't even afford dinner. Now, he had earned more in two hours than a month of working part-time jobs.
But the Supreme Life System wasn't done.
> [Side Mission unlocked: Pay tuition fee before deadline.]
[Reward: Supreme Life Points +10]
"Supreme Life Points?" Lin Feng muttered.
> [Points can be exchanged for advanced modules, skills, and items. They are the foundation for rising beyond ordinary life.]
Lin Feng's eyes burned with determination. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Fine. I'll pay my tuition. I'll complete every mission you give me. From today forward… Lin Feng will never be trampled again."

The next morning, Lin Feng walked into the finance office with steady steps. Students waiting in line looked at him with mocking eyes—they all knew he was the "poor village boy" who might be expelled.
Behind him, he heard the familiar arrogant laugh of Chen Hao.
"Well, well, if it isn't Lin Feng. Did you come to beg for an extension again?" Chen Hao sneered, Zhao Xue standing beside him. Her eyes flickered with guilt, but she said nothing.
Lin Feng didn't even look at them. He placed a thick wad of cash on the counter.
"Full payment. Keep the receipt."
The finance officer's eyes widened. Chen Hao's smirk froze. Zhao Xue's lips parted slightly, shock flashing in her gaze.
Lin Feng turned, his expression calm but his voice firm.
"I don't beg. Not anymore."
And with that, he walked away, his back straight, leaving silence in his wake.
