DIIIIIING!

A light-blue transparent panel appeared before Fang Zhe, visible only to him. Below it, two options glowed brightly.

1. Basic Combat Mastery.

Enhances reflexes, striking power, and basic hand-to-hand combat techniques. Suitable for direct confrontation.

2. Basic Medical Proficiency.

Knowledge of first aid, wound stabilization, and basic diagnosis. Suitable for non-combat rescue situations.

A countdown timer appeared in the corner of the panel.

00:00:10

Fang Zhe looked at the girl named Erina, who was now cornered against the wall of a closed shop. One of the men was already reaching for her arm.

“If I choose medical… I might be able to help after it’s too late. But if I choose combat…” he muttered, his gaze turning firmer.

“I choose… Basic Combat Mastery.”

DIIIIIING!

‘Ability transfer in progress…’

In a split second, a burning sensation flowed from his chest to his abdomen, then spread throughout his entire body. His muscles tightened. His bones felt as if they were being realigned. Foreign memories surfaced in his mind—stances, strike angles, the weak points of the human body.

In just two seconds, the transfer was complete.

Fang Zhe slowly opened his eyes. The world felt slower.

He could see the movement of the first man’s shoulder before his arm even moved. He could read the direction of steps before the opponent’s foot touched the ground.

“Hey kid! Trying to play hero?!” one of the men sneered as he saw Fang Zhe approaching.

Fang Zhe’s heart still pounded. He was still afraid. He wanted to trust the system—but how could someone who had never fought suddenly become skilled?

But this time, fear did not control his body.

“I just… don’t like seeing trash roaming around,” he said quietly.

“What?!”

The first man attacked. A large fist shot toward Fang Zhe’s face.

His reflexes moved almost instinctively.

He tilted his head—just enough for the punch to pass through empty air.

Then his elbow struck the man’s wrist.

CRACK!

“AAAAARGH!”

The man’s wrist bone fractured.

Fang Zhe stepped forward before the other two could react. A straight punch to the solar plexus.

THUD!

“UGHH!”

The air burst from the second man’s lungs as his body folded.

The third man tried to grab Fang Zhe from behind.

But Fang Zhe twisted his body, caught the arm, and threw him down with a simple technique etched clearly into his memory.

BAM!

Dust rose into the air.

Silence fell.

In less than fifteen seconds…

The three burly men lay groaning on the ground.

Those who had previously ignored Fang Zhe now stared at him with wide eyes.

Fang Zhe himself paused for a moment.

‘This… is my power now? Truly incredible…’ he thought.

His breathing was slightly heavy—not from exhaustion, but from the adrenaline he had never experienced before.

Behind him, a trembling voice sounded.

“Y-you…”

He turned.

The girl stood up slowly. Her face was still pale, but her eyes were filled with shock.

Beautiful.

That was the first impression.

Even with her messy hair and unsteady breathing, an elegant aura still radiated from her.

DIIIIIING!

‘Emergency Mission Completed!’

‘Reward: 50 system points received.’

‘Current total points: 50’

Hearing this, Fang Zhe smiled faintly.

‘The system inside me… seems trustworthy,’ he thought.

Suddenly, one of the men on the ground cursed weakly.

“Y-you… do you know who we are? We’re people of Lord Ryan!”

The name was unfamiliar to Fang Zhe.

Lord Ryan?

Not Zhao. Not from the Zhao family. But seeing Erina’s expression turn tense, he understood one thing—that name was not someone insignificant.

“Leave now!” Erina whispered urgently, grabbing Fang Zhe’s wrist.

Without hesitation, Fang Zhe nodded. They ran along the sidewalk, away from the crowd, leaving the three groaning men behind.

A few dozen meters later, a luxurious black car suddenly stopped by the roadside. The rear window slowly rolled down.

A bespectacled girl in the front seat looked panicked.

“Miss Erina! Are you alright?!”

Erina immediately opened the back door and pulled Fang Zhe in with her.

“Take us away from here. Now.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The door shut, and the car sped off. Only then did the atmosphere calm slightly.

Fang Zhe sat upright, still alert. He glanced sideways.

Inside the car, Erina seemed different.

Even in simple clothing, the way she sat, the way she controlled her breathing—she was clearly not an ordinary girl.

Like someone used to giving orders.

Or someone of high status.

His thoughts drifted. He realized the trouble he had stepped into might affect his future.

Silence filled the car.

After a few moments, Erina turned to him.

“You… what’s your name?”

“Fang Zhe.”

“Do you have a job?”

The question made Fang Zhe pause. Just a few hours ago, he had been rejected everywhere. Now, a woman with such an elite aura was asking him this.

He wouldn’t waste this chance.

“No,” he answered honestly.

Erina’s gaze sharpened. She recalled how Fang Zhe had moved—fast, clean, efficient. No wasted motion. That wasn’t luck. That was technique.

“Do you know who I am?” she asked again.

Fang Zhe shook his head.

The girl with glasses in the front cleared her throat.

“Ahem… Miss Erina is the CEO of the Medicine Pavilion.”

Fang Zhe was slightly surprised, but his expression remained calm.

“CEO… of the Medicine Pavilion?”

Erina looked straight into his eyes.

“You just saved me from Lord Ryan’s people. That means, starting today, you are already standing on the opposite side of them.”

Her tone wasn’t threatening. It was simply stating a fact.

“So?” Fang Zhe asked.

Erina smiled faintly.

“Become my personal bodyguard.”

    The narrow alley fell silent once again.The dim streetlights illuminated the four unmoving bodies of the Zhao family men lying on the ground.Fang Zhe stood calmly.In front of him, Doctor Irma was still trying to steady her breathing.A few seconds later, she finally spoke softly.“Thank you…”Her voice was still slightly trembling, but her gaze remained sharp.She looked at Fang Zhe with curiosity.“If you hadn’t come… I might have already been taken by those Zhao men.”Fang Zhe simply shrugged lightly.“Just a coincidence.”Irma shook her head.“There’s no such thing as coincidence in a situation like this.”She glanced at the unconscious Zhao men, then looked back at Fang Zhe.“Besides… not everyone can take down four men like that in a few seconds.”Fang Zhe didn’t respond. He only asked briefly,“Is your house far?”Irma was slightly surprised by the question.“Not too far. Just a few blocks from here.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright.”He stepped past the bodies of the Zhao men.“I’

The air in the room seemed to drop several degrees.'The Zhao Family.'That name was like a thorn lodged in his throat.Old memories filled with blood and betrayal surged into his mind. Fang Zhe’s gaze darkened.“What a coincidence…”He grab

    A series of heavy impacts rang out almost simultaneously, as Fang Zhe’s hands moved like shadows.His palm struck the back of the first man’s neck with perfect precision.The man’s eyes rolled white instantly. His body went limp before collapsing to the ground.THUD!The second man didn’t even have time to react. He had just opened his mouth to shout—when Fang Zhe had already moved.One step forward. His hand shot out.PAK!Two fingers pressed directly against a nerve point on the man’s neck.The man’s eyes widened. His body trembled briefly.Then—BRUK!He collapsed unconscious beside his companion.The garden fell silent once more. Only the night wind rustled through the leaves.Fang Zhe stood between the two unconscious bodies.His expression remained flat, as if everything had already been decided from the start.He looked at them for a few seconds, then exhaled softly.“Too weak.”At that moment…A faint light appeared before his eyes as the transparent system panel activated aga

    In a split second…Fang Zhe’s body vanished from where he stood. Not truly disappearing, but moving at a speed that surpassed human visual reaction.Both men’s eyes widened instantly.“What?!”But they didn’t even have time to turn their heads. A sharp gust of wind had already brushed past the first man’s face.WHOOSH!Fang Zhe had already appeared at his side. His movement was so light, almost soundless.The man only realized it when Fang Zhe’s shadow entered the corner of his vision.“Too fas—”PAK!A palm strike slammed into his wrist.The knife in his hand was instantly knocked away.CLANK!The metal blade spun in the air before falling onto the stone path.But Fang Zhe didn’t stop.

    Fang Zhe continued to stare blankly at the transparent panel floating before his eyes.The “20%” text was still clearly displayed. He almost frowned.‘So… this system doesn’t just grant abilities… it also measures other people’s feelings?’The thought felt strange. Not long after, the panel slowly began to fade.Then it disappeared completely.“Fang Zhe?”Erina’s voice pulled him back to reality. He lifted his gaze.Now Erina was looking at him with a hint of confusion.“Why did you suddenly go silent?”Fang Zhe gave a faint smile.“Sorry.”He picked up his glass of water.“Just a little tired.”Erina tilted her head slightly, but she didn’t press further.“Then let’s call it a night.”She wiped her lips with a napkin.“We still have a morning meeting tomorrow.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright, Boss.”*A few minutes later.They went down from the rooftop restaurant and returned to the car.The city at night was still lively with vehicle lights and brightly lit skyscrapers.The black car mo

    Young Master Brata stared at Fang Zhe for a few seconds. His gaze was filled with mixed emotions—anger, humiliation, and a fear he refused to admit.The corridor felt extremely silent. Even the strained breathing of his injured guards could be heard clearly.He also understood one thing very well.If the young man in front of him truly wanted to cause trouble… the situation here could become far worse.Brata clenched his jaw.His eyes briefly glanced at Erina, who stood calmly beside Fang Zhe. The woman showed no sign of panic. On the contrary… she appeared completely composed.As if everything was already under her control.That only made Brata more irritated.But his reason was still intact. He took a deep breath, then forced a faint smile that was clearly stiff.“Of course.”His voice sounded heavy.“A guest is still a guest.”He stepped half a step back from the doorway.“Please, go ahead.”Erina did not move immediately. She simply looked at Brata for a moment with an unreadable
