Chapter 5: Chapter 5- Bullies
Everything that came out of Amon's mouth, was very difficult for Yang Chen to believe. However, at this moment he had no choice but to take its word at face value for now.
"I see... then does that mean that I'm the owner of the Greedvil System now?" Yang Chen asked propping his body up.
"Certainly, the Greedvil system belongs to the host" Amon tapped his trident in the air and a black window appeared in front of him.
The Greedvil System looked just like any other menu of a game. At the top right corner of the window, one could see their money, mischief points and their VIP level.
Just below it were the Character, Inventory and various other options.
Simon opened the inventory and looked at the gifts that he got from one of the three beginner starter packs. Yang Chen had already used the tier one healing poiton, so there were only two items left from the first beginner gift.
One of them was the Experience Point Booster something that could be used when levelling up and the other one was an Attribute Booster that came inside a shady looking vial.
The attribute booster increases the power of a player for a short period of time.
All in all, one item increased the experience gained, and the other increased one's power for a short duration of time. These two items were a life-saving grace for a beginner.

"Hehh... Yang Chen, to think that you have the audacity to laze around today. Do you think our courtyard and all those clothes will get cleaned by itself?".
While Yang Chen was busy looking at his inventory, a voice came from outside his cottage. When he turned around to look outside, he noticed that a couple of people were standing in front of his shed.
These people for some reason felt very familiar to him, they were the very same people that used to bully the previous owner of this body since childhood.
As if beating the poor souls until he died wasn't enough, they were back for more. Yang Chen was seething in anger.
Even though he knew that all those torture and beating was something that the previous soul of this body had gone through, it still frustrated him when he recalled those memories that felt like his own now.
The poor guy was killed by these people and he had now replaced the other's soul. That being said, he had no plans of enduring the beating from these guys. He wasn't going to live the other person's life.
This was his life now and he would live it the way he wants. fortunately for him, he had the aid of the Greevil System.
As such, Yang Chen decided to first avenge the years of beating the poor soul took as a consolation.
Well, more so than avenging, he was doing this because he didn't want to go through the same experience as the previous owner of this body and live like a slave of the Zhang clan. Thus he clicked on the attribute booster displayed in his inventory which materialised in his hand and he quickly gulped down its content.
"Hahaha... Yang Chen, why are you so silent today? Won't you beg for mercy just like usual? If you get on your knees and kowtow me three times while barking like a dog, I might consider beating you less today"
At those words from the guy in the middle, the group of five boys laughed.
They were all from the same clan yet they were so merciless and inhumane towards Yang Chen. He felt no pity towards these guys who were trying to commit the same crime again.
"It looks like this guy is frozen in fear from last night's beating. Let me make him remember how a useless lowly dog should behave when in presence of his master"
The guy on the right commented. He used a battle skill and came rushing toward Yang Chen with a punch.
"Haaah!!" the punch bringing forth a howl of wind passed by Yang Chen who dodged it effortlessly by a simple sidestep to the right.
Next, before the boy could understand what had happened, a kick came smashing towards his stomach and blowing him back to the place he was standing on a few seconds ago.
THUD... the boy crashed on the ground and threw out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the other four had incredulous looks on their face. Even for them who had witnessed the whole thing, it was hard for them to believe their eyes.
The slave that was their punching bag, the dog that they could trample on every day and take their frustration out had suddenly attacked them.
"You bastard... have you gone insane? Do you know what will happen if you attack us? The Elders will throw you into the prison and your fate will be far more miserable" the boy in the middle who was their leader barked.
"I don't care"
Yang Chen replied stretching his body. He was still getting used to his new body. As for the boys in front of him, he didn't really care much. He was already tired after listening to their condescending words for a few seconds.
He was not the previous Yang Chen that they knew of, who would silently endure every insult of theirs. He was a Yang Chen that believed in an eye for an eye. Since these people were here to look for trouble he would give them what they wanted.
As the memories of the previous owner of the body came flooding his mind, it made his blood boil. Yang Chen clenched his hands and charged towards the four people.
Now that the attribute booster was in effect, he felt strength flowing through him. From that exchange earlier he understood that his current state was more than enough to take care of these people.
Even though this body of his was malnourished and hardly had any muscles, thanks to the effect of the attribute booster these people might as well be moving in slow motion in his eyes.
Hence it was easy for Yang Chen to take care of these mobs who appeared in every game. Now that he had decided to embrace this life, he might as well make them his precious experience points.
