Cannon Fodder Counterattack System (I)

System?

Ye Bai raised his head and looked around in confusion.

Could it be that someone is using supernatural powers to secretly play a trick on me?

It was the weekend, and the bright shopping mall was bustling with people. Some pedestrians had already noticed the young man with red eyes standing by the two railings and cast curious glances at him.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Siyuan saw Ye Bai's action, wiped his face and asked.

Ye Bai opened his mouth: "I..."

[Host, please don't tell anyone about this. ]

Shang Li interrupted the child's words with a system-wide mechanical tone, "If other people find out, you will never be able to take revenge."

“…”

Ye Bai's upper and lower lips immediately closed.

In short, it is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.

Facing the puzzled looks of his companions, he paused for a moment before stammering, "No, I just...can't quite accept this news."

"I always feel that...Teacher Shang is still with us."

Ye Bai clutched a corner of his clothes.

That’s not wrong.

Shang Lipiao disappeared in mid-air, rubbing his chin as he thought.

Without the constraints of a body, he can freely travel in cyberspace as a disembodied ghost.

At this moment, Shang Li was on vacation with his wife on a yacht, while using his clone to play role-playing games with these children in Yan City.

Poor children, I'm so sorry that I have to deceive you.

The ghost apologized in his heart without any guilt.

"well."

Lin Siyuan patted Ye Bai's shoulder gently, trying to comfort him.

Apart from the initial sadness that made him shed two tears, Lin Siyuan was left with more disbelief.

The news of his death came too suddenly, right when he was having the most fun, and the afterglow of the game hadn't even had time to fade away.

It was like a wisp of smoke, floating lightly above his head, and did not create any sense of reality in his heart that "this person is already dead".

Just as Xiao Chen and Ye Bai said, after that brief period of sadness, Lin Siyuan intuitively felt that Shang Li was not dead and was secretly hiding among them.

But the young master assessed the situation and thought that if he said this, this hard-earned friendship would probably be severed on the spot.

He racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with any suitable words, so he could only sigh heavily again.

"Let's go."

Ye Bai said in a low voice: "I want to go back to the dormitory for a while."

The young master lowered his head and looked at the puppet silently.

"Isn't he going home on the weekend?" Lin Siyuan silently mouthed the question to Xiao Chen who had been with Ye Bai the whole time.

Xiao Chen spread his hands and shrugged.

Ye Bai has no parents or relatives, and has nowhere to go on weekends, so he can only continue to live in the school dormitory.

The boy seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in this world one day, and no one in the school knew his past.

Sometimes Xiao Chen would ask about it casually, and Ye Bai would think about it for a while and find that he had forgotten it too. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a father.

I don’t know how this person lived before coming to school.

Lin Siyuan sighed, followed his companions who were walking out of the mall, and stepped onto the staircase escalator.

Ye Bai stood one step below him, with his head lowered in silence, seemingly immersed in long-lasting sorrow.

But in reality, he was secretly asking out loud in his heart about this "System 996" that had suddenly come upon him.

"Why did you come to me?" Ye Bai asked.

【Our revenge system is dedicated to helping those who desire revenge get what they want. 】

Shang Li imitated the mechanical sound.

"What will you gain by helping me?"

Ye Bai said warily: "I don't believe you are just helping others for fun."

[Oh my, host, you are so vigilant! ]

Shang Li was genuinely surprised when he heard this.

He thought that this child would be the same as before in the realm, believing everyone's words without hesitation.

The disguised revenge system 996 coughed twice and said in a serious tone: [When the host increases the revenge value and completes the revenge, our system can gain emotional energy.]

Shang Li imitated what 568 said to him at that time, repeating it almost verbatim except for changing a few key words.

Ye Bai listened and nodded, not quite understanding.

At this moment, he felt something suddenly hit him hard from behind.

The young man who got on the elevator behind the two of them seemed to have lost his balance. He passed Lin Siyuan who was leaning on the other side and fell forward.

Seeing that the young man was about to fall down the elevator with everyone else, Ye Bai quickly grabbed the handrail and held him back.

"…Phew, that was dangerous."

The young man used Ye Bai's strength to steady himself on the elevator, turned around and thanked him, "Thank you, little brother."

Ye Bai and Lin Siyuan were both stunned when they saw his appearance clearly.

The young man was wearing a white cashmere jacket, his short, smooth hair was dyed light pink, his face was gentle and soft, and his deer eyes were extremely smart.

The two boys looked at each other silently.

"Do you think he..."

Ye Bai mouthed to his friend, "Looks a bit like the star we saw in the field during our previous practice mission?"

"Yes, that's him."

Lin Siyuan gave a look of affirmation.

Jiang Mingyu is the partner of Lu Yao, the eldest son of the wealthy Lu family in Yan City.

But I remember that the prince took people out to sea for fun, didn’t he?

Lin Siyuan wondered in confusion, why did he come back the next day?

As one of the wealthy families, although Lu Yao's cruise trip was not publicized and even the news was deliberately suppressed, the Lin family, as their rival, who was always inquiring about his movements, would not let it go.

So the young master, who was influenced by it, also heard a little about it.

Shang Li, who was secretly following the two men, was also a little dumb when he saw the young man.

Why is Xiao Jiang here?

He closed his eyes and immediately shifted his consciousness back to the sea.

The ghost left the room and circled the yacht twice to confirm that Jiang Mingyu was still there with Lu Yao.

Who is Xiao Jiang who suddenly appeared in Yan City?

The ghost looked up and down at the pink-haired young man standing on the elevator of the shopping mall, but could not see anything wrong with him.

【drop--】

He moved his fingers, and the system voice immediately rang in Ye Bai's mind.

【The key character has appeared. 】

[Mission has been released: 1. Get close to Jiang Mingyu and become friends with him.]

Ye Bai: “?”

"What does he have to do with my revenge?"

He asked the "996 system" in his mind in confusion.

[According to the information detected by the system, Jiang Mingyu has a close relationship with the ultimate target Cui Lan. ]

996 said.

The boy's expression immediately tensed.

At this time, Jiang Mingyu, who didn't know whether it was true or not, also smiled and invited the two puppets, "To express my gratitude, where are you going later? I'll give you a ride."

"How do you know we're leaving the mall? Maybe we can go downstairs and buy some milk tea?"

A question mark popped up on Lin Siyuan's head and he said bluntly.

"Well."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyu rubbed her fair cheeks and said awkwardly, "I accidentally heard it when I passed by you guys before."

“…”

Now the embarrassed person became Lin Siyuan.

But he still had a feeling that this person must have ulterior motives, and was about to refuse, but Ye Bai spoke before him and agreed.

"Okay, thank you, big brother."

“…”

Lin Siyuan looked at Ye Bai.

"I have other reasons."

Ye Bai mouthed the words and squeezed his eyes hard.

Step forward.

The young master stuffed Xiao Chen to Ye Bai, put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin, and didn't care.

Jiang Mingyu glanced between the two of them twice, then pretended not to notice their little movements, and said with an unchanged expression: "Then let's go?"

“…”

A few minutes later, the luxury car slowly drove out of the underground garage.

The two boys and the doll sitting in the back seat were all calm.

Ye Bai and Xiao Chen couldn't understand it, while Lin Siyuan looked down on it.

"You're going out without a driver?"

The young master looked around the interior of the car critically in the light fragrance and said, "Isn't there a VIP channel? After all, you are the richest man in the city, and Lu Yao treats you like this?"

"From your tone, it seems like you really want to stand up for me, little brother."

Lin Siyuan choked suddenly.

Jiang Mingyu smiled gently again and continued, "But in this regard, I still have to redress his grievances."

"I sneaked out alone today because I didn't want to attract too much attention."

He sat in the driver's seat and turned the steering wheel. He looked through the rearview mirror and asked the people sitting in the back seat, "You all look unhappy. Did something happen?"

Ye Bai was hesitant when he heard this.

"Can I tell you about this?" he asked Shang Li in his heart.

[In order to grow enough to take revenge, the host needs to have the courage to decide what to do. 】

System 996.

“…”

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and decided to tell Jiang Mingyu in the front row, "This... Actually, I just received news that someone around me passed away."

After he said this, he felt two pairs of eyes quickly focused on him.

"You just said it?"

Xiao Chen punched the boy twice in the chest with his soft claws, his eyes wide open with anger.

"Don't worry, I have my own rhythm."

Ye Bai covered the doll's little face with his hands.

"I see. I'm sorry."

Jiang Mingyu's tone showed appropriate sympathy, and then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what grade are you in?"

Before Ye Bai could respond, Jiang Mingyu had already finished answering his own question, "Ah, now I remember, I should be in the first year of high school."

He said: "I have some knowledge of the famous Young Master Lin."

“…”

Lin Siyuan couldn't hold it in any longer.

He leaned over to Ye Bai's ear and whispered, "Hey, do you think this guy's expression and movements are a bit like Teacher Shang?"

Ye Bai raised his eyes and stared at the young man in the front row through his narrow glasses.

Jiang Mingyu noticed his gaze, and the corners of her lips, which had just been lowered, slightly raised again.

“It seems so.”

Ye Bai tilted his head and responded with the same volume.

"He's not imitating Teacher Shang in front of us, is he?" Lin Siyuan guessed boldly.

After all, he was a popular actor for a while before he retired from the entertainment industry. Wouldn't it be easy for him to imitate others?

Xiao Chen pulled his head out from under Ye Bai's hand, and wrapped his two cotton claws around his wrist and said, "But he doesn't have to do this at all."

"Mr. Shang?"

Jiang Mingyu was very observant and heard their whisper.

"Well……"

"Nothing, just a little curious."

Jiang Mingyu said in a gentle tone, "I have a relative who left me a long time ago and his last name is also Shang."

"Yan City is so big, it's not surprising to have several people with the same last name."

Lin Siyuan retorted, "There are two people with the last name Jiang in our class."

"Too."

Jiang Mingyu sighed, "After all, not everyone has red eyes like my brother."

"elder brother?!"

The three people in the back row opened their mouths at the same time.

"Yeah, yeah."

The traffic light turned red, the young man slowly stopped the car and turned to look at Ye Bai.

"His name is Shang Li, and he teaches at Peiying High School."

Jiang Mingyu smiled, but her eyes were somewhat sad. "I think you two should know each other."
