The Buggiest System 97 Inconvenience

Because of the group of stalkers behind him!

This army now reached a number of 15 people, all following him from a safe distance. They were all talent scouts, with the exception of the one beggar.

However, Zhou Lei hadn't noticed this yet!

How oblivious is he? Is he blind? Is he... oblindvious?!

I'll be here all night folks.

He continued walking as he thought of his novel.

'...Maybe it's because it's only been 3 days? Yeah, that's probably it... I should wait until it has been at least a week.'

As he nodded in satisfaction at the answer he gave himself, he thought of another problem in his mind.

'How do I become an idol?'

He agreed to his mother's request of him being an idol. Did his mother already make preparations, or did he have to do it himself?

In any case, he was fine with either of those, but he would prefer the former since he just needed to wait for a bit. If the case was the latter, then he would need to make active decisions, which he disliked.

His confidence still needed an upgrade before he would even dare to do this.

"...Haah. I want to become an idol."

As his voice came out of his mouth, the talent scouts' ears perked up and listened carefully.

"!!!"

They all widened their eyes. After that, they looked at each other with squinted eyes.

Then, they ran towards the walking young man!

Zhou Lei felt a s.h.i.+ver go through his spine as he heard a stampede quickly approaching him from behind!

He turned his head around slowly to sate his curiosity and worry of what was behind him.

"...What the heck?!"

He instinctively started running as he saw the mob of people!

'f.u.c.k... this appearance has its inconveniences!'

Seeing their target running, they also ran faster to catch up to him.

They also competed with each other! Who gets there first will have the biggest chance of acquiring the gem in front of them!

After all, the saying went, "The early bird gets the worm..."

Never did they think in their lives about the second half of the saying, "...then it chokes to death because it was too hasty!"

.....

"Why did mom have to die?"

A woman wearing full black sat inside a car as she dried her eyes with a handkerchief.

She was in the second frontmost car, right behind the one carrying her mother's coffin.

Beside her was her brother, who comforted her.

He tapped her back gently as he held back his tears. "Don't worry, sis. I'm sure mom is in a better place now."

Hearing her older brother's words, the woman's cries shrunk in volume.

As the long line of cars drove slowly through the street, the frontmost car suddenly came to a halt.

The siblings thought they were going to pa.s.s an intersection and didn't give it any more thought.

A minute pa.s.sed by.

The woman stopped crying for a second and asked the driver. "What happened?"

"I don't know. I'm gonna take a look and see."

The driver opened the door and got out of the car, only to see a large amount of people clogging the street.

They were all in a circle, surrounding something in the center.

The driver walked up to the window of the frontmost car and knocked on it. The window opened slowly while the person inside spoke. "What is it?"

"Do you know what's happening here?"

"Well, from what I saw... a bunch of people surrounded a student from all sides."

"...Are they jumping him?"

"Sure think so. Poor kid."

The driver shook his head as he walked back to the car that he was driving.

He entered the car and sat down.

The woman asked the driver, "Do you know what's happening?"

She could vaguely see a bunch of people in front, but she did not know what was happening.

"A poor kid's being jumped by about a dozen people."

The older brother widened his eyes and shouted, "What? We have to stop them!"

He exited the car and walked to the front. "Hey, all of you should stop! You're disrespecting the dead!"

The talent scouts all turned their heads to look at the man in all black. "What are you saying?"

"We're on our way towards a cemetery to hold a funeral for my mother. Could you please not act such violence in front of us?"

"...What violence?" Song Qing spoke up.

"Acting oblivious, aren't you? You're obviously beating up the student! Are all of you cowards? Grouping up to beat a student? And what's worse, you're doing it in front of my mother, who... was so kind!"

A tear went out of the man's eye. He couldn't hold it in anymore.

Looking at the face of the man obviously fighting back his tears, the talent scouts felt guilty and walked out of the way.

What was left was Zhou Lei in the middle. His front was facing the other way.

"Are you okay, young man?" The man thought that the student couldn't bear to show his beat up face.

Zhou Lei turned around immediately, revealing his smile.

The man felt dumbfounded. 'What. Why is he completely uninjured and even smiling?'

"Hey mister, are you another one of those talent scouts?"

"Eh, no, I'm not..." The man snapped out of his daze after seeing Zhou Lei's perfect face and hearing his similarly beautiful voice. "...wait, talent scouts?"

As the man thought about what the student in front of him just said, he turned his head slowly to the group of people he shouted at earlier.

He thought about the words that came out of his mouth, even scolding this bunch.

His face turned red before he ran back to the car and closed the door immediately.

Zhou Lei went to the side and the cars proceeded as planned.

As second car pa.s.sed by, Zhou Lei spotted an insanely beautiful woman weeping, beside the man that scolded him earlier.

'...What the heck, she's more beautiful than my sister! But not as much as my mother... Still!'

.....

Inside the car, the woman weeped more than before... from uncontrollable laughter!

"So you... hahaha! So you're saying, that you scolded a bunch of talent agents for... what was it again? Beating up a student?"

Beside her, his older brother lowered his head and sulked in silence.

"And... pfft! And then, the student smiled at you?! Hahahahaha!"

Zhou Lei didn't know that what just happened lightened up the mood inside the previously depressing car.
