THE REJECT SYSTEM

Lingtian woke up to the sound of banging and things breaking."Please, we will pay, don't beat my husband!""Where is your good-for-nothing son?"Lingtian forced his body off the broken bed. The first thing he noticed was a strange number floating above everything in his room. The broken wooden bed had a 2,500 yuan price tag."What the heck," he exclaimed.His gaze moved around the room as he realized everything seemed to have a price tag — the cup, the wooden desk, everything."You bastard, I'm asking you a question. Where the hell is your good-for-nothing son?" he heard the shout again.He rushed out of the room to find the whole living room scattered, his dad on the floor with thugs surrounding him and his mother.The thugs didn't notice him; they were about to hit his mother again."Mom!" he shouted as he pushed his way through and grabbed one thug's leg."Oh, what do we have here?" the man who was about to hit his mother smiled."Take a look at this — your grandfather borrowed fi
