Chapter 1

C1 – The System of the Connection

On Sunday, Zhao Su was walking down the main street.

Like many young people, Zhao Su was incredibly hardworking.

However, his family was average, his job was nothing special, and he hadn’t earned much money. He was still without a girlfriend.

The world seemed overly pragmatic. Girls, whether beautiful or not, appeared to favor wealthy men, and Zhao Su was not wealthy.

Today, his mother had asked him to attend a gathering organized by his distant cousin’s aunt. She wanted to introduce him to a girl.

Usually, Zhao Su would steer clear of such social events. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He would inevitably be grilled about his current situation, income, and career at these dinner parties.

He had reluctantly agreed to go only after his mother had coaxed him with a bit of a threat.

“Congratulations, you’ve been hit by the Connection system, starting a new chapter of a glamorous life!”

What was that?

Zhao Su stopped in his tracks, puzzled.

The voice spoke again: “You can activate the Connection system with a specific password or gesture!

Remember: You need enough Fan Value to unlock the system. The difficulty levels range from one to ten. The higher the level, the more Fan Value you need.

To help you build up your Fan Value, the system has set up a live streaming account for you, paired with a virtual panoramic camera! It can capture your moments of good fortune in high definition!

Additionally, the system has given you a surprise gift package!”

The clear explanation made Zhao Su’s heart race.

All he had to do was meet the conditions to strike it lucky.

“System, I want to find the closest lucky trigger point!” Zhao Su ordered.

“The marker has been placed in your consciousness,” the system responded.

​Suddenly, Zhao Su’s mind lit up with a dense array of light dots, a miniature representation of the Earth, each colored differently. The larger, brighter dots seemed to be the higher-level trigger points.

Then, many light dots appeared around Zhao Su.

He spotted the closest light dot less than fifty meters away, near a blond man sporting a dragon pattern tattoo.

The man had stopped a girl with a wholesome look, extending his hand to her. She attempted to dodge, but he held on to her firmly, preventing her escape.

The girl’s sweet appearance made it all the more infuriating to see her being bullied by the thug!

Onlookers were angry but too intimidated to speak up against someone with a tattoo, often associated with troublemakers.

​Zhao Su had a free unlock opportunity courtesy of the System, so he wasn’t worried.

“System, find the method to unlock the trigger point!” Zhao Su ordered.

“The Complete Guide to Unlocking is now open. Unlocking Method: Slap the man and berate him. Connection Reward: One hundred million!” the System replied.

That was impressive!

Zhao Su walked determinedly toward the thug.

At the same time, on the popular domestic live streaming platform Douyu, a new channel titled “Powerful Man!” had just started broadcasting.

“Who’s this powerful?” the audience mused.

The stream quickly attracted a dozen or so spectators.

Through the panoramic camera, they could see the people on the street, and the onlookers immediately caused an uproar.

“What a beautiful girl!”

“This guy is despicable. He’s picking on a little girl!”

“Let her go!”

“Poor little beauty.”

The drama playing out on their screens was quickly becoming the center of attention.
