Chapter 5 Obtaining the System

I said goodbye to An Xu, returned to my home, opened the door, and found that the house was deserted. I put down my schoolbag, slumped on the sofa, and recalled everything that happened in the morning.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Just as I was still reminiscing, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Coming."

Opening the door, the person outside was none other than An Xu.

"An Xu? Why are you here?"

An Xu touched his head embarrassedly and said to me.

"Honey, I'm not at home at home, and I want to come over to your place for a meal."

"You, a rich second generation, are you here to help yourself to a meal?"

"There's no point in eating it alone."

Before I could finish speaking, An Xu pushed me in.

"Your family is quite big."

"You still think my family is big?"

"Oh, I'm starving. Go cook."

"I still have to serve you, the eldest young master."

I opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of Coke and threw it to An Xu.

"I'll give you a drink first, and I'll cook for you, the young master."

An Xu caught the Coke and said to me.

"Thank you An An."

"roll!!"

I went to the kitchen and made a simple scrambled egg with tomatoes.

"Eat."

"Just one dish, no meat?"

"It's a lot to ask for. It would be nice to eat some."

We had a simple meal, and An Xu asked me at the dinner table.

"Cheng An, why haven't you seen your uncle and aunt?"

I said calmly.

"Do you know Cheng Yuxin and Lin Zhiruo?"

"Of course I know. Cheng Yuxin was the top hunter at the time, and Lin Zhiruo was the top healer hunter at the time. There is no injury that she can't treat. It's a pity that they stayed in the portal forever during the Annihilator Plan three years ago."

"A top hunter? A top healing hunter? In my eyes, they are unfit parents."

"What? Incompetent parents? You are their child?!"

An Xu stood up excitedly.

"I'm surprised."

"You are truly their child."

I nodded.

"I was fifteen years old at the time. They said they had to go out to do something, so they left me and my 12-year-old sister Cheng Yu at home. As a result, we were never heard from again."

"Here, you are the hunter's family and shouldn't you be helped?"

"It's nonsense. My sister and I have been the butt of jokes since we were children and were called wild children. We have lived like this for three years. Thanks to our neighbor, Grandma Wang, who has always taken care of us."

"I didn't expect you to have this experience."

While talking, An Xu suddenly hugged me and started crying.

"From now on you are my family, I will treat you as your brother, and I will take good care of you."

"Get out of here."

I pushed An Xu away.

"Your snot is almost all over me."

I put away all the dishes and chopsticks.

"My sister and I are living well now. We are honorable hunter families. We don't have to pay for our studies ourselves. The government will also pay our brother and sister's living expenses every month."

An Xu patted my shoulder and said to me.

"From now on, I, An Xu, will take care of you."

"You can save it."

After dinner, An Xu and I chatted for a while, and the sky gradually became darker.

"It's getting late. It's time for me to go back. If you need anything, just ask."

"I see."

An Xu hummed a little tune and went back. He really didn't look like a rich second-generation young master.

Not long after An Xu left, my neighbor Grandma Wang came to see me, and I hurried out to greet her.

"Grandma Wang, why do you want to see me so late?"

"Cheng An, I saw on the news today that a portal appeared in your school. Were you hurt?"

"Hey, Grandma Wang, look at what you said, I'm so agile, how could I get hurt?"

"It's good that you're not injured. This portal has been dormant for three years and then started to appear again."

"Who says it isn't?"

"By the way, Cheng An, I have something for you."

"thing?"

As she spoke, Grandma Wang took out a small, delicate box from her bag and said to me.

"This is what your parents left for you."

"Leave it to me?"

"They told me at the time that if the portal appears again, they will give this box to you."

"What's in this box?"

"I don't know the details. Your parents told you to leave it to you. You'll know when you open it."

"How can my irresponsible parents leave anything for me?"

"Cheng An, don't talk about your parents like that. They have their own reasons too."

"..."

"By the way, it's so late, Cheng An'an. Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, grandma should eat it."

"Grandma, I've finished eating."

"Are you full? You eat junk food all day long."

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm an adult now, I can definitely take care of myself."

Grandma Wang touched my head and said.

"Okay, grandma believes in you."

Grandma Wang was widowed when she was young and never remarried. She had no children. Grandma Wang treated my sister and me as her own grandson and granddaughter.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Wang, I went back to my room to play with the exquisite box.

"What is this?"

I tried my best to open the box, but the box was tight. I tried to use scissors to pry it open. Just as I was about to pry it open, the scissors cut my finger, and the blood dripped onto the box. The box suddenly responded.

.

"A blood confession?"

The box glowed blue and slowly floated in the air. This scene obviously frightened me.

"i c"

Just when I was wondering, the box suddenly turned into a beam of light and entered my body.

" ! ! !"

Just when I was shocked, a system panel suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and a voice in my mind said to me.

"Hunter program has been activated."

"What?"

"Exact match to host, 1%"

"30%"

"60%"

"100%, matching successful."

"Host Cheng An, hunter type supernatural hunter, hunter level F."

"Wait a minute, who are you?"

I questioned the mysterious voice.

"I am a hunter system, created by your father Cheng Yuxin, a hunter."

"ha?"

"The purpose of the hunter system is to help the host improve its abilities."

"But I don't want to improve my abilities."

"You can't choose."

"I can't choose control of my body yet."

"Do you want to accept the system? Two options appear in front of you: accept and reject."

I clicked reject, but it was of no use. I kept clicking reject because I didn’t believe in evil.

"If the host insists on refusing, the system will use a self-destruct program."

"Self-destruct?"

"The system initiated by the self-destruct program will perish together with the host."

"Huh? Crazy."

Threatened by the system, I clicked Accept.

"The host agrees to accept the system, novice benefits, and the experience gift package given to the host. Do you accept it?"

There are two more options on the screen, accept and reject.

"accept."

For a moment, the body seemed to be completely reborn and full of strength.

"Congratulations to the host for raising the level to D level."

"Good guy, the level is actually determined based on the hunter level. This system is not necessarily a bad thing."
