Small?
Small your sister!
Xiao Shen cursed in his heart as he immediately tucked his Little Shen back into his pants.
Heaven, hell, the myriad realms, nirvana, buddha, if someone were to tell him that these things were real, he would not object.
But this... A system suddenly popping up in his mind out of nowhere was absolutely not something that he could believe just like that!
And what kind of system was this, even?!
Normal systems would be going:
[Host, welcome to the Blah Blah Blah God System!]
Then it would show him his status bar and start giving him missions with some rewards as benefit until he became a slave to the system and wholly depended on it to grow stronger.
A system addict!
But, the screens before him did not seem like a system.
It seemed more like a chat group or something.
[Anchor looks so cool merely standing there in thought!]
[Agreed!]
[Agreed x2]
[Agreed! x3]
[Agreed x4]
«[### has gifted Anchor +10
His lips twitched slightly as more screens appeared. Now, he was increasingly convinced.
This was more like a Livestream chat than a system!
"No... No, what am I saying..." Xiao Shen shook his head and tried to ground his line of thought according to reality.
This was real life, not an anime series.
People did not just start having livestreams focusing on them for no reason!
This was real life, where everything followed logic. Everything was completely scientific and had a reasonable explanation for them.
[Anchor is not using the gifts? ಠಗಠ]
[That is because such low level things are of no use to Anchor!]
[As Anchor is living in mortal world, we should mostly gift mortal things!]
[Agreed!]
[Agreed!! x2]
[Agreed!!! x3]
«[### has gifted 10,000 RMB!]»
«[### has gifted [+1] luxury car!]»
"The f*ck?!" Xiao Shen blinked in disbelief.
This sh*t was completely unscientific!
How were scientists to explain that he was seeing blue screens that, apparently, no one else could see, screens that were telling him that he had just been gifted 10k RMB for no f*cking reason?!
Ten thousand RMB was not a small amount of money. After all, this was up to a third of the average office worker's salary!
Recently, he had been tight on cash after losing quite a bit while playing Fight the Landlord with his roommates during a power outage last night.
The ten thousand RMB was quite tempting!
But Xiao Shen held himself back.
"The wantings of the flesh must be suppressed, only then can one achieve nirvana!"
He dared not accept this anomalous occurrence as true, lest he fell into a rabbit hole that led to insanity!
If it were a hallucination, then, wholly embracing it, was the end not complete madness?
Test my willpower!
I'll ignore you till the day I die!
Xiao Shen was a very disciplined person. One who, once set to do something, rarely had his determination waver.
But to a broke man, one who did not dare call home lest his mother asked how the hell his money had finished so quickly, ten thousand RMB was quite the temptation...
"Aiyah, what do I have to lose?" Xiao Shen scratched the back of his head. He tapped in the air multiple times in multiple places, trying to interact with the faint screen, but was unable to.
_As expected. I can't do anything about it..._ Xiao Shen sighed in his mind. Luckily, he was alone and no one saw him try to tap the air like a lunatic.
"How do I access the money..." Xiao Shen frowned in thought.
It was like having a gold mine in front of you, but you were unable to touch it!
But, just as he thought about accepting the money, a 'zing' sound appeared in his mind and a bright blue light shone in his pocket.
"I might just be crazy, after all..." Xiao Shen muttered to himself as he touched his bulging pocket.
He shook his head and left the toilets, heading back to class.
As he got there, however, he saw that a flood of students were hurriedly leaving.
F*ck! The lesson had ended!
"Hey! Dong Wang!" He waved his hand at a lean fellow wearing glasses. The young man who was wearing a brown pleated shirt turned around and waved back. "Hey! You actually came back!"
"What, you wish I fell into the toilet and died? You still can't have my DOTA2 account even if I'm dead!" Xiao Shen chuckled as he walked over, lightly punching his friend on the shoulder.
"Cruel!" Dong Wang gave him a spiteful glare.
Dong Wang's name was actually not really Dong Wang, but he had been once roasted by a senior during their first year and the name had stuck.
No one really remembered his real name. But, going by his grades, the name was a fit.
Dong Wang adjusted his glasses and raised a brow. "We have a test tomorrow, by the way. The contents of today's lesson will make up the bulk majority of the questions."
Xiao Shen frowned as he cursed out loud. "Damnit! Really?"
Why was it that, the one time he missed a lesson, there would be a test on said lesson?!
Wasn't he only gone for some ten minutes?!!
The bluish screens appeared before his eyes once more.
[A test! Anchor finally has the chance to show his superior intellect!]
[### has gifted +1 study talisman!]
[Let's stake a bet! Anchor will definitely pass with 100 percent!]
[### has started an event, {Test}]
[### has joined the event, {Test}]
[### has joined the event, {Test}]
[### has joined the event, {Test}]
"Tch..." Xiao Shen's eye could not help but twitch.
"Aye, I know you're dumb as hell, but don't worry. I'll help you revise our work later in the evening and you'll surely get a D!" Dong Wang said with an air of self importance. "But you'll definitely have to treat this brother to something good afterwards!"
"You're a true brother Dong Wang!" Xiao Shen was touched and he nodded at Dong Wang with a smile. "We will definitely go to the Fragrant Aroma food street and get some..."
As he was speaking, a petite little lady came over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Brother Xiao, you forgot your notebook!"
Xiao Shen turned around and saw a cute legal loli standing on tiptoe. She had big eyes and bangs that completely covered her forehead. She thrusted the book at him and smiled, showing her dimples.
"You didn't write anything in this lesson but don't worry! I'll definitely help brother Xiao revise today's work! You're free later in the evening, right?"
"Definitely! I don't have any plans this entire year, even!" Xiao Shen beamed brightly and pinched her cheeks. "Thank you, Sister Hua! I'll definitely treat you to something very good after the test!"
"Alright!" She smiled again and winked at him. "I'll see you then, Xiao Shen~"
"I'll be waiting~" Xiao Shen smiled as he watched her leave.
Dong Wang's mouth fell open. "Traitor! What happened to the two of us being true brothers!"
Xiao Shen shrugged his shoulders with a laugh. "Tell me, Dong Wang, are you a cute girl? Don't worry, I'll definitely chat you up on QQ and send you pics of the good stuff we had!"
Dong Wang shook his fist in a rage. "Xiao Shen you bastard!"
