Chapter 212: Teenage Rebellion

Gu Yi gave Xiao Xue a stern look and used psychological suggestions on her. She immediately stopped talking.

"No matter what, I’m in the same generation as your father. You should call me uncle, got it?"

"Hmph."

Xiao Xue lowered her head and let out a soft grunt.

"Even if you are my uncle... why did you tie me up? Who does that?"

"It's to keep you from running away."

"That's kidnapping."

"You'll understand everything tomorrow," Gu Yi calmly replied. "Tomorrow, you'll see whether your dad and I were lying to you. Just go to sleep; being knocked out all the time isn't comfortable, right?"

"Hmph."

Xiao Xue closed her eyes and turned to face the wall.

Gu Yi left the room, exchanging a look with Er Gou.

They both shook their heads in unison, muttering, "Teenagers..."

They shared a knowing, wry smile.

"Er Gou, there's something I need your help with."

"No need to be so polite. What is it?"

Gu Yi shrugged. "I've written a story, and I want your help to publish it."

"You need to be at least a second-level citizen to publish a novel."

"Does rank matter to you?"

Er Gou paused, "Not really... but why do you want to publish a book?"

"To find a way to defeat him. Haven't you heard the saying?"Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

"What saying?"

"Words have power."

Er Gou was silent for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, what were you going to tell me earlier?"

"Nothing." Er Gou waved his hand. "Give me a day to prepare the publishing. Come find me tomorrow night."

"Alright."

Er Gou turned and left the casino.

Gu Yi returned to his room, tied his feet as he did the previous day, and sat at his desk writing until he gradually fell asleep.

...

In the real world.

In just one day, the world's situation had drastically changed.

Three countries had formally declared war on Dragon Country.

The leader exercised restraint, engaging only in basic defensive actions and avoiding offensive moves. Meanwhile, a small portion of Dragon Country's population had gradually been corrupted by a weird force, becoming increasingly extreme in their beliefs.

Incidents of rioting, looting, and arson were becoming more frequent, stretching the police force thin.

(You: Get out.)

(Hearing your command, the thugs scatter and back away.)

(The man curses loudly.)

(Three or four service robots fly over, surrounding the thugs.)

(Man: You dare disobey me? Do you want to become fertilizer?)

(You observe the man.)

(His mental strength is much stronger than that of the thugs, making your psychological suggestion less effective.)

(His clothes appear more expensive, and he can use service robots, indicating that he's at least a second-level citizen. He might even be the owner of the nightclub.)

(You: Leave this place; this is our territory.)

(Man: Who do you think you are? Bring Er Gou out.)

(You: I don't know where he is.)

(You shake your head.)

(Man: You're not worth talking to. Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, where are you? I'm here to take you home!)

(Creak, creak—)

(You hear a noise from Xiao Xue's room.)

(To your shock, Xiao Xue forces open the window and calls for help.)

(Xiao Xue: I'm here! Help me!)

(You clench your teeth in anger, almost biting your lip.)

(You: Stop!)

(You block the man’s way.)

(You and the man start wrestling.)

(The service robots fly over and begin electrocuting you with high voltage.)

(Robot: You have violated Rule A-009. You will be sentenced to 100 years in prison...)

(You recall Rule A-009, which prohibits the use of violence against high-level citizens.)

(Your body becomes paralyzed.)

(The man continues to punch and kick you, while the service robots issue a warning.)

(Robot: You have violated Rule B-009. You will be sentenced to 10 years in prison.)

(You recall Rule B-009, which prohibits violence against low-level citizens.)

(The same act of violence results in a 100-year sentence for you and only a negligible 10-year sentence for him.)

(Man: I'll give you a hundred years. Let me finish beating this guy up first.)

(Wearing thick-soled shoes, the man kicks your head hard.)

(You see stars.)

(You lose consciousness.)

(You terminate the deduction!)​​.
