“Of course not!” Li Lin shouted like an angry little kitten.
“It’s not? Okay then, tomorrow, right? Where should we meet?” Bai Chen stopped thinking about dating. If she said it was not a date, then it was not.
Li Lin thought for a bit before replying, “In front of Xing Xuan Station, 10:00 AM. Don’t be late!”
“Sure.” Bai Chen did not give it much thought and nodded in reply.
Li Lin did not say a word. She spun around and walked back to class.
At the same time, she was thinking that she would make Bai Chen work hard to serve her to make up for all the anger she had been holding on to since childhood.
Bai Chen smiled a little. Even though Mission 7 had not been completed today, it sure was going to be tomorrow—because tomorrow, Li Lin would really forgive him.
“Though this mission is not done today, I still have another one left. Catching the thief will earn me 15 points as well,” he said he said to himself. From his calculations, he would still level up today anyhow.
He stood there for a little while before following Li Lin back to class.
Time passed until the school day was over. Bai Chen walked to the parking lot. He hurried to his bike, preparing to go back to the Xing Seng Business District to catch the snatch thief in the area.
But before he could speed off, Bai Chen found himself amid a circle of as many as ten students. He looked at one of the guys and immediately recognised it as Ba Guan.
Ba Guan had not shown up in class the whole day. No one had had to tell him why. Bai Chen knew right away that it was because of the fight that broke out between them in the morning.
“What do you guys want?” He got off his bicycle, parked it, and asked them.
Ba Guan, Yong Gua, and the other three he’d beat up that morning displayed hostile facial expressions as soon as they heard Bai Chen's words. The faces of the five new guys remained quite normal since they had not gotten beat up that morning. However, unfriendliness still showed on their faces.
The five new guys were also Ba Guan’s men. The guy had nine sidekicks in total, and all of them were present here and now.
“Darn it! You’re still asking why? If Father doesn’t get to beat you to a pulp today, this Father will not use the surname Ba anymore!” Ba Guan seemed extremely angry. He spat that out with great contempt while waving his left hand to give the gang the green light.
His right hand was splinted, which, of course, was the result of his snapped wrist that morning.
If it were not Bai Chen, Ba Guan would have led the team himself. But this was different. He could sense Bai Chen’s prowess, so he did not dare take things on by himself anymore.
Yong Gua and eight other students did not hesitate but rushed towards Bai Chen right away. Each of them sent their fists and elbows flying; some were leading with kicks.
“Too slow.” Bai Chen saw them approach in slow motion. He was not at all agitated by this situation. Ten? Hell, he could easily take down twenty.
Bai Chen retaliated with a punch, which landed directly on Yong Gua’s face. The guy's face collapsed inward slightly—his nose broke, blood trailing out of it. Yong Gua’s body flew backward and hit Ba Guan, who had been standing there.
Ba Guan did not get a chance to duck out of the way. He was hit directly by Yong Gua’s body and was knocked unconscious again as his head hit the ground violently. Luckily, there was no physical wound. Otherwise, he would definitely need lots of stitches.
Before the others were aware of what had happened, Bai Chen sent them a series of machine-gun punches. All of them were left in similar conditions to Yong Gua and Ba Gun. The ten of them fell unconscious!
After taking care of the whole gang, Bai Chen wiped his hands together to clean them while shaking his head.
“There were only ten of you and you thought you could finish me off. Try again 50 years later!”
Of course, he thanked the Life Changing System in his heart for giving him the low-grade martial arts technique. Otherwise, he would never have been able to take down Ba Guan’s gang of ten thugs.
He then rode back to the Xing Seng Business District.
Because the distance was not that far, he arrived at the entrance of the business district not long after.
As soon as he arrived, Bai Chen heard someone yell, “Help! A thief!”
Bai Chen immediately pulled over. He scanned the area for the thief. The whole place was quite chaotic, with the crowd being agitated from the snatch theft incident.
“Move!”
As he was looking, Bai Chen saw a guy in a black helmet coming in his direction with great speed. He was holding a bag in his hand.
,m “It’s you.” This guy was most definitely the snatch thief, without a doubt. Bai Chen did not move to the side but stuck out his leg to block the man who was running at high speed.
Thunk!
Having bolted really fast without looking, the thief’s legs hit Bai Chen’s leg, causing him to lose balance. The guy slid onto the concrete ground. Luckily, he was wearing a helmet; otherwise, there would have been blood.
Bai Chen did not wait for the man to get up but got off his bike hurriedly without caring if it would fall or not. He jumped and kicked the thief in the chin.
The thief’s head, along with the helmet, snapped upward violently. His body flew up into the air; he landed on his back and passed out!
Ding!

Bai Chen was elated and extremely excited at the sight of the two transparent white windows that popped up at the same time. He believed the system would reward him with newer and better things if he leveled up.
He had, without a doubt, become a Level 2 user!
