Chapter One: The Killing of an Insect

  With a "bang", Li Feng angrily threw the miscellaneous items in the cardboard box to one corner of the dormitory, and with a lack of energy, he threw himself onto the bed, staring at the ceiling without saying a word.

  "How many times already?"

  This is the third time in a month that I have been dismissed by my employer for "various reasons".

  At this moment, Li Fengs mood became increasingly irritable.

  With less than a week left before the deadline, the school has ordered all graduating students to move out of their dorms, but I still cant find a stable job, so whats next?

  Would you rather slink back home with your tail between your legs?

  No, this is too embarrassing. Thinking back to when he was admitted to Qin Citys key university, Qin Cheng University, with an astonishing score, the amazement and praise from his hometown neighbors never ceased. Li Feng really didnt dare imagine that four years later, he would return to his old home without any achievements, subjecting himself to countless idle chatter.

  It doesnt matter to me personally, but if this matter affects my family and causes them to lose face, that would be unfilial.

  Moreover, he was unwilling to accept it. If it were really a problem with his personal ability, then he could only resign himself to it. But things werent that way, everything came from that person... Why? Li Feng looked up at the ceiling in confusion.

  "Lao San, whats wrong? Have you been fired by the new company again?" asked Qin Ming, Lao Si in the dormitory, who was just coming back to his senses from the computer screen, with a slightly hesitant expression.

  "Hmm." Li Feng lightly murmured in agreement.

  The two of them in the dormitory fell into a moment of silence.

  There were originally five people living in the dormitory. In order of age, Li Feng was the third, and Qin Ming was two months younger than himself, naturally being the fourth.

  Now they, this batch of graduates, have basically left the ivory tower of the campus. Now there is only Old Four Qin Ming, who is a local, and because his family background is quite wealthy, he doesnt need to worry about life after leaving the campus at all.

  Qin Ming is still here today, in his own words, because he has no family to take care of him and can enjoy the freedom and independence. Before the school kicks them out, he is grasping these last few days of independent freedom, crazily playing video games, what joy!

  But once he got home, he wasnt so lively anymore.

  "Hey, why dont you come work at my dads logistics company? Its not a big company or anything, but at least it can help you settle down in Qin City for now."

  No matter whether its Lao Da Fang Zheng or Lao Er, Lao Wu and the others, the five of them have lived together in the dormitory for many years. Although they havent fought side by side or visited prostitutes together, theyve stayed up late playing games together, advancing and retreating together, and their brotherly affection is beyond words.

  Lao Si Qin Ming usually has a timid and bookish appearance, but at this critical moment, he actually pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and spoke with an air of righteousness.

  "Fourth brother... thanks, I appreciate your kindness, but that Xu Gang, your father cant afford to provoke him." Li Feng didnt expect Qin Ming, who usually feared trouble, to actually have such a strong sense of loyalty at his time of need. He sat up with a start and carefully looked at his sworn brothers for a long time, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart, but he refused Fourth Brothers proposal without hesitation.

  Lao Si is the wealthiest among the five in the dormitory, his father runs a logistics and transportation company, with some connections locally, but deep down, Li Feng knows whats going on, he doesnt want to harm his brothers or family.

  Xu Mings energy is quite strong, at least, in his ordinary eyes, he really cant be provoked.

  "Then... what will you do, return to your biased Li Jia Village?" Qin Ming was taken aback and said angrily.

  At the same time, even he himself knew that Li Feng had refused his help and couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Just now, he was indeed eager to help Li Feng with a sense of justice, but as soon as he heard the name Xu Gang, his heart was doused with a basin of cold water, extinguishing the passion and impulse of just now.

  Yes, Li San is right. Xu Gang, Qin Ming is not someone to be trifled with, and neither is his father. If Li Feng really came to his fathers company, Im afraid the fruits of his fathers decade-long struggles would likely evaporate into thin air.

  Thinking of this, Qin Ming felt both ashamed and shocked, breaking out in a cold sweat. This was not his fault if it were just about him, but if it involved his family situation, he would be really helpless.

  Lao Si Qin Ming shook his head secretly and sighed in his heart. The ancients were indeed not deceiving people, saying that beauty is a calamity, this was really not wrong at all.

  Lao San was originally fine, he looked small and handsome, his academic performance was excellent, and sports were also his strong point, basketball, football, track and field were all good, if its really said that the only shortcoming is the family background.

  Otherwise, Lao San was also a popular student in school, but all of this changed when the department flower Lin Qianqian got close to Lao San, and Li Fengs luck turned bad.

  Of course, this is not Lin Qianqians fault, it can only be said that it is still the same old saying, a beauty is a calamity.

  A beauty is great, but in todays society, if you have no power and no influence, can you hold on?

  "Its time for dinner, Ill go get some food. We dont have much time together now, so lets make the most of it today and have a good meal together."

  Thinking that he couldnt help with anything, Qin Ming felt guilty and hastily threw down his copy and went out to buy food. He decided that today he would order two more dishes, yeah, he still had some money left, so hed leave it for Old Three.

  Its all I can do, cant help brother much. Qin Ming, who originally relied on Su Shu and didnt want to go home, suddenly lost the face to continue staying here.

  After Qin Ming left, Li Feng was still standing there alone, lost in thought.

  "Really going back to Lis village?" He kept repeating Lao Sis words in his mind! A buzzing sound in his ear, entwining and lingering, how annoying!

  Li Feng, who was already annoyed, suddenly flew into a rage and slapped him with a loud crack.

  Finally, the annoying buzzing of the mosquito had quieted down, but in the next moment, a cold and icy voice echoed in his mind, making him jump up entirely.

  "Kill 1 mosquito and you collect 0.1 units of blood essence."

  "What... is this?" Li Feng jumped up and looked around cautiously, a thread of surprise rising in his heart.

  How did this voice appear in my mind?

  Could it be that Ive been working too hard lately and Im so exhausted that Im starting to hallucinate.

  But no!

  Absolutely not, if he didnt remember wrong, he vaguely recalled that this sound had appeared more than once before.

  The earliest time, it seemed to be last week, I was woken up by a mosquito in the middle of the night, and in a daze, I slapped a mosquito to death, and this scene also appeared in my mind.

  He was in a half-asleep state at the time and didnt take it seriously when he woke up the next morning.

  "Whats wrong with my body? This is ridiculous." As he thought about it, Li Fengs hairs stood on end.

  He carefully recalled the cold and icy prompt voice that had just appeared in his mind, this scene, no matter how you looked at it, was exactly like the kill prompts in a game.

  "Could it be......?" As he thought of this, Li Fengs train of thought gradually became clear, and he remembered something from last week.

  Staying in the dormitory with Lao Si and others to play games and online games, it just so happened that at that time, a loud thunderstorm struck, damaging my laptop, and at the same time, I was also unlucky enough to pass out.

  "Is it really like this?"

  At this thought, Li Fengs heart suddenly rose with shock and horror. He suppressed his strange feelings and stared at the corner of the dormitory, searching everywhere.

  He suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it against one corner of the wall.

  "Pffft" sound, no surprise, another mosquito was killed by him, but this is not his purpose.

  What he really wanted to try was to prove that one guess in his heart.

  "Killing a mosquito, you collect 0.1 units of blood essence, you now have a total of 0.3 units of blood essence."

  As expected, the inexplicable voice in his mind sounded again, and Li Feng was shocked by the words, Im going.
