Free Web NovelChapter 24: Combat System
After watching Claire’s retreating figure for a long time, Liam finally straightened up. These young hormones just have nowhere to go.
Walking down the street, Liam opened the system to check if the tasks had been refreshed.
The ultimate rebate system did not disappoint him. New system tasks had been updated.
"When Victoria goes to the park tomorrow night, she will be harassed by a blond-haired man around 7:42 pm and he will ask for her phone number.
Go and help her resolve this problem. Reward for the task: 50,000 dollars in cash. To ensure the safety of the host.
Learning combat skills. After completing the training, the host will have the strength to take on five opponents at once."
In an instant, Liam felt a surge of ecstasy. Fighting techniques? Liam, who was of average height, had always been at a disadvantage in fights, and he had suffered quite a bit when he fought with Damien.
If he had that ability, he would be able to guarantee his own safety.
It was 2010 now, and public security was nowhere near as good as it would become later.
Various thugs and hooligans roamed the area, so fights and brawls were common occurrences.
This ability was incredibly useful these abilities are much more valuable than money."
Seeing the progress in learning the skills,
Liam went straight to an internet cafe, intending to play some games.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Ethan playing Counter-Strike there, using the same bug-exploiting spot. However, now that he had a membership.
Liam opened a temporary card and sat next to Ethan, patting him on the shoulder.
"Come on, let’s play for a bit."
Ethan quit the game immediately. "You’ve come at just the right time.
If you had come any later, it would have been packed, not to mention the possibility of sitting together. How did you feel yesterday?"
Ethan gave a knowing smile. "Don’t even mention it, I really didn’t expect it to happen again upstairs. She even gave me a one-dollar tip! As he spoke, he took the small envelope out of his pocket.
This technician is quite professional."
"Brother, I feel like you’re not the same as before. You have a mysterious and unfathomable air about you now."
"Maybe it’s because I’ve grown up."
While the two were chatting, Liam logged into his Counter-Strike account. "I’m planning to take a part-time job."
"Um?"
Liam really didn’t expect that his good friend, whose mind was always on the internet, would think about doing part-time work. "I found out that network administrators make 1,500 a month, so I can go up to the third floor a few times a month.
Moreover, being a network administrator means you don’t have to pay to turn on the machines, which is a huge profit. They heard that I would only work for a month, and then they let me go."
Liam knew a bit about being a network administrator, but it was basically impossible to do it in the short term.
Afterward, Ethan went to the bar and got two bottles of iced cola and came back. When he was alone, he might buy a bottle of mineral water at most, but when Liam came, he had to buy two bottles of Coke to cool off.
"Forget it. The network administrator basically holds a month’s salary back.
We only have a month left before school starts. If you continue, it’s like you’re working for nothing.
Don’t think too much about it. I’ll lend you money if you need it."
"Brother, please don’t do this. I’m scared. Have you committed a crime?"
"Enough talk, let’s go to Liberty Square."
The two had just entered the game when they saw a graceful and mature woman walk in.
The mature woman was wearing a white button-down shirt paired with a black pencil skirt.
Beneath the bodycon skirt, a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs were captivating.
"Ms. Maya! What are you doing at an internet cafe?"
Ethan stood up instinctively. Being caught surfing the internet by his teacher’s wife was quite terrifying.
Liam was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to run into Maya here. Judging from Ethan’s appearance, she clearly hadn’t yet shaken off her student identity.
That day at the gathering, he thought Maya was very beautiful. She’s 41 years old and still looks so good.
It’s really not easy. The most striking feature of the teacher’s wife was her exceptionally fair skin.
Claire and Victoria both have very fair skin, but compared to Maya, there is still a difference.
He had never noticed it before.
Maya said gently, "You guys do your thing."
As she spoke, she looked at Liam, recalling how he had bravely confessed his feelings to Olivia’s mother.
Putting everything else aside, this kid is really quite courageous. In class, Liam has three people he particularly dislikes.
One of them was the homeroom teacher, Ben Pike, who constantly demanded bribes from the students.
His mother didn’t have enough money to give him gifts, so he was constantly harassed in class.
The second one is class monitor Nathan Cole. His grades are very poor. He became class monitor because his family gave him a lot of gifts.
He always acts like a boss in class and always makes himself do extra cleaning. The third one is Damien Carter.
Damien often mocks his family for being poor and frequently causes trouble for him. Now that she looked at it, Maya was really beautiful.
Claire is also an absolute beauty. I wonder what Nathan’s mother looks like. At this moment, Liam couldn’t help but start daydreaming.
"Ms."
As Maya was looking around and preparing to leave, Liam called her back. "What’s the matter?" The teacher’s wife remained as gentle as ever.
"Ms., may I add you on Telegram? I might not be able to see you again after I go to university, and I’ll miss you."
Seeing that Liam seemed somewhat reluctant to part with her, Maya felt a touch of emotion. "Okay, we can chat whenever I have free time."
Seeing the two exchange Telegram numbers, Ethan was filled with admiration for Liam.
Liam is amazing! He even dared to add his teacher’s wife on Telegram! What does he want to do?
At this moment, Victoria came to the balcony of her home and looked at the clean bed sheets.
She took the sheets back to the bedroom and carefully folded them.
She really didn’t expect her reaction to be so strong.
