"Lin Yi! I've thoroughly understood your situation, so my advice for you is, drop out!"
Drop out?
Lin Yi never imagined that the words "drop out" would come from Shen Jiayi's mouth.
This big girl, who cared for him and looked after him like a neighbor's older sister, would surprisingly say such a thing.
Shen Jiayi, Lin Yi's homeroom and English teacher, despite her pretty face which could have easily made her popular, insisted on relying on her talents and voluntarily chose to work in this town's high school, always showering Lin Yi with affection.
"Miss Shen, I beg you, please don't let me drop out."
Lin Yi looked somewhat pained, couldn't imagine that he, originally the top student of the class, would end up being advised to drop out.
Seeing Lin Yi's distorted face, Shen Jiayi's heart softened slightly, sighing, "Lin Yi, to be honest, this is the principal's idea. He said, our class has always been the top class in the school, it can't afford to have poor performing students. The principal also said, given your current grades, you're not suitable for the parallel class either. Moreover, the city-wide mock examination is the day after tomorrow, the principal doesn’t want you to participate and asked you to leave the school immediately. For now, you should go home, I'll talk to the principal again, see if I can persuade him to be more lenient."
The parallel class, also known as the class for kids who don’t care about school, students in this class are either skipping classes or getting into fights all day, joining the parallel class is practically equivalent to ruining one's studies.
However, even successfully getting into the parallel class is difficult, one must take the route of dropping out.
With heavy steps, Lin Yi left the office.
"Why, why is it like this..."
Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded, "Hehehe, the reason is simple, your attention span has become shorter, making it difficult to focus!"
Lin Yi strongly agreed with this statement, otherwise, his grades wouldn’t have plummeted.
He subconsciously looked around, but found it strange that the corridor was empty.
"Did I mishear? There was no one talking just now; am I hallucinating?"
"Hehehe, Lin Yi, you didn't hallucinate. It was me who was talking just now!"
This time, Lin Yi clearly heard it. However, what shocked him was that this voice was an electronic sound, and it was in his mind!
Sensing something was wrong, he had a thought and actually "saw" the owner of this voice, the phantom of a girl!
"Who are you? How did you get into my mind? Get out quickly!"
What drove Lin Yi crazy was that at this moment, this girl no longer responded.
"Bang..."
Suddenly, Lin Yi watched wide-eyed as a golden light aimed directly at his head, and he was too late to dodge.
In an instant, Lin Yi distinctly felt an unbearable discomfort in his head, as if something was about to burst it open, and he nearly fainted from the splitting headache.
After a long time, Lin Yi finally came to his senses. He forcefully pinched his thigh thinking about what had just happened.
"Ouch...hiss..."
Feeling pain meant that everything just now was real; it wasn't a dream!
At this moment, the long-missed electronic sound rang out again.
"Beep! Lin Yi, after several months of confirmation, you have excellent learning abilities and are completely capable of acting as the host for the Omni-System!"
"Beep! System implantation underway, please be patient and wait!"
"Ding! The omnipotent system implantation is complete. Tasks can be given at any time. Please host, be fully prepared!"
"Ding! The first task is compulsory. The host must complete it within 24 hours. Otherwise, this system will deduct points or even severely punish you!"
Upon hearing the electronic sound again, Lin Yi was stunned.
What on earth was going on?
Feeling that his grades were beyond rescue, Lin Yi, without informing his class teacher, Ms. Shen, had secretly read a few web novels.
Reflecting on those novels, he vaguely guessed that he might have encountered a strange adventure.
However, considering that he was just an ordinary rural child, Lin Yi still dared not believe it.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Lin Yi realized that the most important thing right now was not figuring out what this omnipotent system was all about, but promptly accepting and completing this unknown task.
From those few lines of electronic sound, Lin Yi also inferred that his sudden academic downslide a while ago was probably related to this omnipotent system.
After waiting for quite a while without the system issuing a task, Lin Yi, filled with thoughts, gradually moved towards the teaching building.
Under the teaching building.
Seeing Lin Yi, his girlfriend Li Dongmei directly said: "Lin Yi, you don't have to wait for me for meals anymore."
"Why?"
"Don't you get it? Do you still think you are the former top student Lin Yi? You've been expelled from school. What gives you the right to have meals with Dongmei?"
Dongmei remained silent, but a sarcastic voice rang out abruptly.
The speaker was the class representative, Qin Tianxiong, who had been trapped under Lin Yi's excellence in grades for two years. His deep-seated arrangement turned out in his favor these recent months.
Lin Yi exposed a bitter smile, not expecting his expulsion news to have spread so quickly.
Anyway, it was an unalterable fact.
"Dongmei, are you thinking of breaking up with me?"
Lin Yi noticed that Li Dongmei's gaze towards him has changed, it became indifferent, unfamiliar.
Could it just be because he suddenly went from being an honor student to a bottom-ranker, then getting expelled from school?
Dongmei did not answer, she just walked away.
Lin Yi took a step forward, wanting to grab Dongmei's hand.
"Let go, Lin Yi. Don't force me to say those two words. I want to leave you with a little bit of dignity."
Dongmei's expression turned colder.
Lin Yi's hand froze in mid-air.
"Lin Yi, you've been expelled now, and your future is only that of a yokel. You're no longer worthy to continue being Dongmei's boyfriend. If you know what's good for you, just get lost and don't bother Dongmei in the future, else..."
"Or else what?" Lin Yi's eyes emitted a strong murderous intent.
Struck with fear by Lin Yi's murderous intent, Qin Tianxiong didn't dare to speak and subconsciously stepped back.
"Dongmei, listen well. It's not you, Dongmei, who's dumping me. It's me, Lin Yi, who is dumping you today!"
After Lin Yi had spoken, he strode away.
In the campus.
"I'm dying of laughter, a poor boy from the countryside actually said he wants to dump the class flower, that's just too funny."
"Hahaha, if I were him, I'd just go and end my misery."
...
"Feeling down and want to regain your dignity? Simple, you only need to use one hundred points and you can exchange it for a girl who's ten times more beautiful than Dongmei, for the duration of an hour."
"One hundred points? Where am I supposed to get you one hundred points?"
"You can owe it for now."
Feeling frustrated and walking down the road, a robotic voice suddenly appeared and then quickly disappeared, yet Lin Yi felt a strange sense of direction.
With the way things were going, it seemed he had definitively become the host of this system.
He was about to drop out of school, his girlfriend had cheated on him because of this, and his classmates were mocking him. He couldn't stand it, he had to absolutely slap their faces hard!
Since this system claimed to be all-encompassing, it must not just be for show, it must have some powerful features, he had to make full use of it no matter what!
