Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

"One Hit Kills!"

The internet cafe on the third floor was brightly lit and packed with people.

In the e-sports area at the center of the first floor, dozens of people gathered around a seat and were in a frenzy. The focus of the crowd was a young man who was concentrating on the computer screen. The wonderful operations on his slender fingertips kept jumping, and everyone behind him was amazed.

"Victory!"

The game voice chattered, announcing the end of the game. The onlookers were even more excited than the players themselves: "Dude is awesome! He won again! He must have won more than ten games in a row!"

"Soared from Green Star to Red Star! Awesome!"

Someone volunteered, "Boss! Can you play solo with me?"

Lu Jinzhao finished a game and was getting some water from the water dispenser. He looked up at the owner of the account and got a nod from the grumpy old man. He said, "Okay, arena line 426, room 0113, password 4 ones."

Solo matches are 1v1 matches, which also add competitive points. He happened to be a little tired of other modes, so it was nice to have some 1v1 fun.

"Okay!" The young man who made the appointment quickly entered the password to enter the arena room, "Can we choose Misty Ridge as the venue?"

When playing in the arena, the map is randomly matched by default. However, according to the rules agreed upon by players, the room owner is also the champion, so the map is usually chosen by the players.

Misty Ridge is as its name suggests. Not only is the map surrounded by fog, obstructing vision, but in order to prevent players from entering the map multiple times and forcing themselves to memorize the terrain, the official even set the map to a random arrangement, which means that the terrain is different each time you enter the map.

This map is extremely unfriendly to ordinary players, and is more suitable for players who are good at hearing and positioning or have excellent dynamic vision. Obviously, the challenger in front of him is one of them.

Lu Jinzhao didn't even raise his head, he took a sip of purified water and said, "Okay."

The countdown to the game begins, and the host chooses a profession first. Lu Jinchao chooses his favorite assassin. Just like the assassin profession he played in his previous life, it has stealth and backstab skills, and as a first-hand profession, it is hard to defend against.

The opponent chose the Astrologer. This profession has an exclusive passive skill, which can randomly display the position of an enemy player on the minimap every 3 seconds, and invisibility is invalid. Not only that, the biggest feature of the Astrologer is that it has a global ultimate skill that can drop meteorites from the sky.

After the level was passed, both parties were teleported to random coordinates in Misty Ridge. Lu Jinzhao put on his headphones and moved forward casually, while the astrologer on the opposite side stared at the screen and kept operating.

The regular customers of the Internet cafe who were watching nearby were discussing: "Haozi is really ruthless. He chose the astrologer, so the assassin's invisibility is useless!"

Another person shook his head in disagreement: "It's hard to say. The Astrologer has a low movement speed and weak defense. If you don't know how to use it, it's like a human radar. One hit will kill you."

The astrologer followed the coordinates on the small map and moved quickly towards the assassin, occasionally summoning meteorite fragments to smash the map. The assassin nimbly dodged the meteorite fragments and sneaked into a ruin in the center of the map. The meteorite made too much noise, and it was difficult to determine the astrologer's footsteps by sound alone.

However, the biggest feature of the assassin is its flexibility. Apart from the four common directional jumps for all professions, there are four more displacement skills exclusive to the assassin profession. Although the astrologer's skills are all over the map, the landing points are regular and not random, and they can't hit Lu Jinzhao's assassin at all.

But on the other hand, the Astrologer has a passive skill. When he sees an assassin approaching, he will move away in the opposite direction. The assassin cannot do anything to him either.

The two were in a stalemate for a while. The Astrologer's mana bar was at the bottom, and the Assassin had no mana bar, but all his displacement skills were on CD.

The effective damage of both sides was 0. The boy at the opposite table said with a smile: "It looks like we are going to draw."

A draw is considered the winner. He is average and never thought about winning from the beginning. He is sure that Lu Jinzhao is a person who doesn't like to lose, so for him, a draw is also a win.

The fifteen-minute countdown for the game was about to end. Lu Jinzhao chuckled, and the mouse kept changing perspectives. His hand speed increased rapidly, and he used the displacement skills as soon as the CD was up. In less than two seconds, seven skills had been used up, and the assassin rushed in front of the astrologer.

The astrologer was shocked and quickly withdrew his shield, but it was too late. Lu Jinzhao had already activated the assassin's last displacement skill, Back Slash.

The Back Slash skill is very powerful. Once the back is successfully circling, the second slash that follows is almost impossible to dodge, and it will definitely be a 1.5x critical hit! This is also the reason why assassins are most criticized by players. The first move is invisibility and back slash, which is hard to defend against. The health bar of fragile professions will be at least half gone.

The assassin's skills of back-following and beheading were performed smoothly and in one go. The astrologer's interface turned gray and a settlement box popped up.

The boy on the other side of the fight got mad and said, "Have you been waiting for me to run out of mana?"

"Yeah." Lu Jinzhao quit the game, picked up his water cup and took a big sip: "A draw equals a loss, and I just... don't like losing."

Opposite party: "......" Damn it! He got it right!

「Favourability points +20」

Chitose: "You kid..."

Other spectators who wanted to challenge him also came forward and said, "Brother, you are awesome. How about playing with me? I am already in the room, the first in the audience. Just drag me into the ring."

"Yes, yes, I want to challenge you one-on-one too. I'll come in and line up now!"

"And me and me!"

The astrologer who played the last round was not to be outdone: "I want to play again!"

The people in the queue laughed and scolded: "Come on! You've already finished a single game, and you still want to play and queue up!"

Seeing that the 1v1 game had increased his score by quite a lot, Lu Jinchao accepted everyone who came and said, "Okay."

......

At the end of the last round, Lu Jinzhao achieved a hundred kills. He took off his headphones, walked to the bar, picked up his old phone that had been used for several years, called up the green background payment code, unplugged the charger, walked to the stunned and irritable old man, and chuckled, "I've reached 3,000 points. This 1,800 yuan is not a waste, right?"

The guy hadn't recovered from the dozens of exciting games, and didn't realize he was surrounded by the crowd. Someone poked him with an elbow, and he came to his senses. He hurriedly took out his phone and scanned the code, "Not a loss! Brother, you're awesome! Can you add me as a friend and take me with you next time!"

「Favourability points +200」

In the blink of an eye, Lu Jinzhao received 2,000 yuan. He looked at the balance on his phone and raised his eyebrows: "Boss, did you give me too much?"

The grumpy brother didn't care: "Your record is great! I'm happy! By the way, brother, what's your game ID? Let's add each other as friends, and bring me to play next time!"

Lu Jinzhao did not refuse and called up the WeChat QR code again: "Okay, add me. I don't have an account now. We may play duo together in the future if there is a chance."

The grumpy old man was full of disbelief: "How is that possible? You are such a good player, you must be a veteran player! Don't you want to expose your real account?"

Lu Jinzhao smiled helplessly: "Really not, the big one has been sold."

The others are all new, where do the old accounts come from?

Someone bravely raised his hand and said, "Boss, I want to add you as my friend, too!"

Seeing this, the others followed suit: “I want to, too!”

"Okay." Lu Jinzhao handed out the WeChat QR code and asked those who wanted to add him to add it one by one.

The grumpy old man coughed twice in embarrassment: "Boss, do you want an apprentice?"

Lu Jinzhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We don't have this business for the time being."

The grumpy old man wanted to cry but had no tears: "I also know my level. Now my rank has been raised but my level cannot be improved. I can't always look for a booster, right? Big brother, can you teach me when you are free, or you can start a live broadcast and I will learn from you! With your skills, you will definitely make a lot of money as a game anchor!"

Lu Jinzhao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll sort it out and send you a detailed career combo tutorial. It should be enough."

"Favorability points +1000" The grumpy old man was so moved that he almost cried: "This is really worth it!!"

Chitose: "? Isn't it two thousand?"

Lu Jinzhao: "Can you please turn off this notification box? It's so noisy."

Chitose: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll close it now!"

"Brother, it only costs 1,800 to get a Venus?! Are you free? I want to get a Venus, too!" The man with glasses who had been watching the whole process finally got a chance to interrupt, looking eager to try.

Eighteen thousand is the price to go from one thousand points to three thousand points, not that any rank will cost eighteen thousand to get to gold star. Three thousand points can get to red star, and the gold star mentioned by the glasses man requires four thousand points.

The man with glasses was a bit cunning in his words, but Lu Jinchao didn't bother to care at the moment. He glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer screen. He had been playing games for six or seven hours, and it was almost twelve o'clock. For most Internet-addicted teenagers, the night was still long, but Lu Jinchao didn't want to stay up late. He hadn't eaten for dozens of hours, and his stomach was already growling. He didn't feel it when he was playing games, but now he was really hungry.

He gave a formal smile: "Maybe tomorrow. I'm a little tired today."

The man with glasses smiled happily: "Okay, then I'll wait for you here at this time tomorrow! You must come!"

"Okay." Lu Jinchao nodded, picked up the cotton jacket on the back of the chair and put it on, walked towards the bar, and went to the Internet cafe counter to order a bowl of instant noodles.

When the network administrator came out with the instant noodles, his face turned red unconsciously. Zhang Yong saw it and joked, "Xiao Chen, you can still blush? I think your eyes are almost sticking to me!"

The young lady gave Zhang Yong a reproachful look and said, "Boss, don't talk nonsense! I'm just warmed by the heater!"

"Hey, hey, hey, little brother, you're really good at what you do. That guy has been playing games here for a few years, and I've never seen him so happy! You're also amazing. You picked the richest guy here right away!" Zhang Yong smiled and put his arm around Lu Jinzhao's shoulders, took him aside, and said with a smile: "With such good skills, why don't you start a live broadcast? You're not bad looking, you'll definitely attract fans if you show your face on the live broadcast!"

He watched Lu Jinzhao gain points for half of the game. As a veteran fan of the game, he knew how good Lu Jinzhao was, and a lot of plans popped up in his mind. He didn't join in until Lu Jinzhao finished playing.

Lu Jinzhao stirred the instant noodles intermittently, "Let's talk about it later."

"Hmm..." Zhang Yong thought he might be a bit socially anxious, "You just said you can play all kinds of games, right?"

Lu Jinzhao looked at him while eating instant noodles and nodded. When he just logged in, he glanced at the game collection. Almost all the popular games were in the list attached to the game talent given by the system. The game mechanism was similar to the online games he played in his previous life.

"Well, handsome guy, let's discuss the details of the cooperation. It's like this, you can be my substitute or my companion. I'll be responsible for introducing customers and providing venues and machines, and you'll be responsible for taking orders. I have a lot of female customers here, and just for your face and skills, it's no problem to increase the price by 30% over the market price! You get 80% of the profits and I get 20%, what do you think?"

Lu Jinzhao nodded and agreed: "Okay, but I can only do it for a few months at most."

Zhang Yong was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Why, are you afraid that I won't give you a raise?"

"That's not the case. I have to go back to school after the New Year." Zhou Ye was forced to drop out of school, so naturally he had to go back to continue his studies. In the entertainment industry, it is easy to be ridiculed without a diploma. Even if he quits the entertainment industry in the future, he will have another way out.

Zhang Yong suddenly realized that the students were working part-time to earn money for their studies. He slapped his head and said, "Is that so? Studying is more important. Winter vacation workers are welcome! Come on, have you brought your ID card? I'll ask someone to open a card for you."

"I have it." Lu Jinchao took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong looked down and said, "Hey, Lu Jinzhao? Your name is quite nice. Xiao Chen, get this handsome guy a VIP card."

Lu Jinzhao scanned the internet cafe payment code, paid for the instant noodles and the water, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Hearing the payment reminder tone, Zhang Yong couldn't help but sigh: "You are so boring. Can't I afford a bottle of water and a bowl of instant noodles?"

Lu Jinzhao had a calm expression on his face, saying, "Let's put it this way."

Zhang Yong waved his hand: "Okay, okay."

After finalizing the details with Zhang Yong, Lu Jinchao returned to his small room and opened the system mall to buy himself some winter clothes. He didn't have much money now and could only afford to buy clothes worth a hundred yuan. However, the products of the system must be high-quality, so there was no need to worry about quality issues.

I contacted the landlord on the original owner's WeChat and paid the rent, then opened the mini-program to pay the water and electricity bills. The old man was probably asleep and didn't respond for a long time.

Although it was late, the Water and Power Bureau was very efficient and water and electricity were restored in less than ten minutes.

After boiling water and taking a hot bath, Lu Jinzhao lay down in bed, took another dose of repair potion to consolidate his strength, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the system space, Lu Jinchao was checking her schedule. Since the fusion with Zhou Ye's body, Chu Nian's image in the system space was no longer her own, but temporarily became the image of "Lu Jinchao" that she created herself.

Suddenly I remembered that the agent on the phone had told him to act as a foil for someone called Peng Yu. Looking at the schedule, I saw that there was indeed a variety show to be filmed, and not only that, I had to leave early the next morning.

Well, Peng Yu can’t go on the show drunk, but he can, right?

"Qian Sui, retrieve the relevant information about Peng Yu."

"receive."

Looking through the information, Peng Yu has a good appearance and is interested in acting. He has studied systematically for two years, but no scout or director has discovered him. He had to start by posting earthy plots on short video platforms. Later, he accumulated some fans and was signed to the Jido agency through his relatives.

Originally he was only a small internet celebrity, but he unexpectedly became a little famous by chance after getting on a hot topic. With fame, he still lacked resources. He began to exclude Zhou Ye, who had the same appearance and style as him, and tried every means to snatch the resources that the company originally intended to give to Zhou Ye, and even ordered Zhou Ye to play a supporting role for him.

Zhou Ye had no background and no acting skills, and was suppressed everywhere, so it was difficult for him to make a breakthrough. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey the company's arrangements and go to various reality shows that Peng Yu participated in, giving up his own image to play a supporting role, and being a stand-in for all the scenes where Peng Yu might have bumps and bumps.

Now relying on those resources, Peng Yu has become a new traffic star. He is considered a relatively successful case of an internet celebrity switching to the entertainment industry, and has also become a cash cow for Jido Agency.

Lu Jinzhao turned off the screen and made a phone call. After a few rings, the other party picked up the phone and said, "Manager, I'm not feeling well. I want to take my vacation this month and go to the hospital to see a doctor."

The other party was silent for a moment: "Okay, but I can only approve you for three days at most. The rest will depend on your test results."

"Row."

Qiansui was confused: "Who are you calling, brother Chao? What store manager? What vacation?"

"You don't look at the schedule carefully."

"Impossible? Did I miss it?" Chitose checked her schedule again and was dumbfounded: "No, what the hell is this milk tea shop job???"

Lu Jinzhao had obviously gotten used to the inertia of his own system. He lowered his eyelashes and placed his slender fingers on the main account panel: "Zhou Ye hasn't had any business activities for a long time. He can only work part-time at a milk tea shop or a hot pot restaurant. Have you forgotten?"

"I really forgot about this..." Qiansui brought up the screen and flicked it repeatedly, "Brother Chao, are you going? Chen Weihong asked you to be on this variety show in order to use you to set off Peng Yu, but she has no good intentions."

"Go, why not? I only have a few dozen dollars left in my pocket, and I can't afford the penalty. Besides... this variety show seems to be more than it seems."

Chitose was touched in the opposite direction, and his fur was tangled. He was speechless, but he didn't dare to attack the host. He licked his fur and said, "Indeed, the background is very powerful."

Lu Jinzhao took a picture of Qiansui's fur standing up like a sea urchin cat and set it as his phone wallpaper. After teasing the system, he felt more cheerful and said, "Open the practice room."

"The practice room is open for you. Have fun."
