"System?"
"You finally came!"
Luo Xiu paused slightly, sensing the changes within himself, then his whole being became excited, his
expression filled with excitement.
"Three years! I've been waiting for you for three whole years!"
"Do you know how I've spent these three years..."
Luo Xiu muttered to himself, emotions swirling within him, feeling a sense of clarity akin to finally seeing
the moon through parted clouds.
He was originally an ordinary young man of the 21st century, but by a stroke of luck, he ended up in this
parallel world, far more dangerous than his previous one.
At first, upon realizing he had crossed over, Luo Xiu was filled with joy, thinking his extraordinary life
was about to begin.
Just as he was gearing up to plagiarize classic works from his previous life and thrive in this world, Luo
Xiu suddenly made an astonishing discovery...
This world was vastly different from his previous one!
Martial arts prospered while literature declined. Martial prowess was highly respected, while the
entertainment industry dwindled under the dominance of martial arts.
It was a world where everyone revered martial prowess!
Even the biggest stars in the 'base' were merely 'actors' in front of powerful martial artists, constantly
fawning and flattering.
When martial artists became enraged, ordinary people couldn't bear their wrath!
Luo Xiu even witnessed with his own eyes a scene where a giant wolf, five or six meters long, suddenly
appeared in the crowded streets, howling at the sky and slaughtering humans at a speed so fast that it was
almost invisible to the naked eye, leaving only a trail of blood on the ground...
The screams of the people echoed through the sky...
Later, powerful teams of martial artists appeared, and after a bloody battle, they finally subdued the giant
wolf.
That bloody scene was unforgettable, and even now Luo Xiu felt as if he could vividly recall it.
It was hard to imagine what the outcome would have been if those powerful martial artists hadn't appeared to
subdue the giant wolf...
At that moment, Luo Xiu truly realized how fragile ordinary people were!
In the face of ferocious beasts, life was as fragile as a feather...
Over these three years, under the guidance of his mentor and through his own investigations, Luo Xiu finally
understood the true nature of this world.
Compared to his previous Earth, this one was many times larger!
This land was filled with barren mountains, forests, lakes, and rampant beasts, to the point where beasts
had become the rulers of this land!
And humans were no longer at the top of the food chain, but rather at the bottom...
To withstand the powerful beasts, people gathered in groups, establishing bases. With various technological
weapons and powerful martial artists guarding them, they managed to survive...
Yet even so, human bases with insufficient strength were constantly trampled by beasts, disappearing
overnight from this world!
The groups of beasts were just too powerful...
Perhaps the next base to be trampled could be this one?
Who could say for sure?
Copying literature?
In a world where people died at any moment, where millions could disappear overnight, who had time for that
nonsense!
What's more, heaven had actually given him an obedient and cute little sister...
Orphaned by their parents, without any background, and with a young and obedient little sister.
This was the setup for countless novels!
Initially, Luo Xiu was very eager for a 'cheat code', but as days turned into weeks and weeks turned into
years, he gave up on that idea.
In the most miserable conditions, there were no cheats at all...
This was simply hell mode!
To have made it this far with a little sister was already quite an achievement for Luo Xiu.
What Luo Xiu never expected was... his 'cheat code' arrived today!!
"Great responsibilities are bestowed upon great individuals, and they must first suffer before achieving
greatness..."
Luo Xiu sighed deeply in his heart.
At this moment, he felt that all the hardships of the past three years were worth it!
Listening to the clear notification sound of '+1' ringing in his ears every now and then, feeling the
enhancement of his physique, Luo Xiu was filled with excitement.
This was the real life...
It was fine without cheats, but once they were activated, there was no stopping them!
Automatic upgrades, could there be anything more comfortable than this?
"Luo Xiu, you! Are! Dead!!"
Just then, a teeth-gritting roar sounded.
Listening to that intense voice, it seemed as if the person wanted to tear themselves apart...
Luo Xiu finally shifted his gaze to the revitalized Xu Mo not far away, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
The reason he was expelled from the 18th base, 'First Middle School,' was all thanks to Xu Mo!
Luo Xiu had a little sister, Luo Xue, who had just turned twelve and had just entered junior high school
this year.
Although the tuition fees for the school, which had become famous because of him, were expensive, Luo Xiu
used up his hard-earned savings to enroll his sister in this middle school.
After all, in this terrifying world, it was better for siblings to stick together for mutual support.
Of course, he was the one taking care of his sister.
Luo Xiu naturally knew about Xu Mo, the 'second-generation martial artist,' who was in the same class as
him, but the two had no interaction whatsoever.
But fate had other plans.
This beast had actually set his eyes on Luo Xiu's precious twelve-year-old sister!
Yesterday afternoon, Luo Xiu happened to see him harassing Luo Xue at the school gate. The little girl was
scared and crying. When she saw him, she immediately ran over in tears, but Xu Mo refused to let go, even
threatening him openly.
If he tolerated such behaviour, it would be strange!
He didn't care who the other person was, directly confronting him and beating him mercilessly.
As a result, today's situation naturally unfolded.
The power of a martial artist was beyond imagination!
Regardless of whether you were a top scholar in the college entrance examination, if they wanted to expel
you, they would!
Two ordinary people with no background confronting a powerful martial artist family...
If nothing unexpected happened, Luo Xiu could imagine the terrifying retaliation he and his sister would
face after being expelled...
But now?
Fortune had finally turned!
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Luo Xiu suddenly laughed.
Then, under the gaze of his classmates and teachers, he stepped toward Xu Mo.
"Ding, Strength +1!"
Once again, the crisp notification sound, audible only to him, rang in his ears.
"Do you still not know how powerful martial artists are?! If you kneel down and apologize now, maybe I'll
show some mercy. Otherwise, I won't spare you!"
Seeing Luo Xiu approaching with a smile on his face, Xu Mo was shocked.
Although he was threatening, his tone inadvertently softened.
"Heh..." Luo Xiu sneered, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Spare him?
If he spared Xu Mo, the martial artist's parents would certainly not spare him. It was evident from how they
got the school to expel him.
If he killed directly...
Since the outcome would be the same, why not kill him?
Suddenly!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Xiu suddenly burst into action, and immediately began to attack...
