12: Chapter 12 Beating Up the Bald Man

Liu Jiangbo had already rolled up his sleeves, revealing the dragon and tiger tattoos on his arms.

The other diners instantly recognized that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Although Liu Jiangbo was not tall, he was burly and covered in rolls of fat.

Anyone with a bit of experience knew that people with this much flab were the most vicious in a fight.

In contrast, Lin Yi looked like a clean-cut college student.

Although he had a lean and strong physique, he still seemed a bit thin compared to Liu Jiangbo.

However, seeing him step forward to act bravely in such a situation, many people felt a sense of admiration for Lin Yi in their hearts.

Lin Yi's sudden appearance caught Liu Jiangbo by surprise.

"Do you really think you can play the hero?"

Liu Jiangbo stood in front of Lin Yi, his tone icy. He glared fiercely into Lin Yi's eyes, his rage seemingly ready to explode at any second.

Lin Yi broke into a cold sweat internally.

The aura radiating from Liu Jiangbo made Lin Yi feel a bit afraid.

Although, as a kid who grew up in an orphanage, he had gotten into his fair share of fights, this was his first time going up against a tough nut like Liu Jiangbo.

However, Feng Zhinan was the cashback target bound to his system, so he couldn't just let Liu Jiangbo bully her like this.

Furthermore, he already held a grudge against Liu Jiangbo for stealing Guan Zhixue away from him.

This was something no man could tolerate.

"Ding, danger detected for the host."

"The host's current physical fitness level is 2, while the opponent's is 3."

"The host can spend 5 points to increase their physical fitness level by 1."

"Do you wish to redeem?"

The system's sudden prompt was like a shot of adrenaline for Lin Yi.

"Great!"

"Redeem! Redeem immediately!"

Since he happened to have 5 points, Lin Yi chose to redeem without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at Liu Jiangbo's posturing, it was clear that things wouldn't end peacefully today.

The atmosphere had built up to this point; it was highly likely that a fight was inevitable.

The system's boost at this moment was incredibly timely.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful redemption."

"Host physical fitness is being enhanced..."

"Enhancement complete. The host's current physical fitness level is 3."

A surge of warmth instantly flowed from his heart throughout Lin Yi's entire body.

Every cell in his body seemed to be filled with power.

Lin Yi clenched his fists with satisfaction, snorted coldly at Liu Jiangbo, and turned to help the fallen Feng Zhinan up.

"Are you okay?"

Liu Jiangbo's sudden attack had given Feng Zhinan quite a fright.

It was her first time encountering a situation like this.

Her initially fearful and helpless heart seemed to find redemption the moment Lin Yi appeared, and tears of grievance streamed down her face.

"I... I'm okay... Thank you..."

Looking at the bright red blood on Feng Zhinan's palm, Lin Yi grabbed a towel from the table and carefully wrapped the injury.

"Stop the bleeding first. It's best to disinfect it with iodine later."

Lin Yi had often been injured in fights when he was a child, so treating wounds like this was a piece of cake for him.

Feng Zhinan: Favorability +5

Feng Zhinan: Favorability +5

Feng Zhinan: Favorability +5

Feng Zhinan: Favorability +5

Feng Zhinan's current favorability is 30.

While Lin Yi was taking care of Feng Zhinan, Liu Jiangbo became unhappy.

He had been standing there for so long, and Lin Yi was acting as if he didn't exist.

"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"

Liu Jiangbo's angry roar startled the people around them.

Lin Yi protected Feng Zhinan behind him and turned to look at Liu Jiangbo impatiently.

"You fat pig, why are you barking? You scared me!"

Lin Yi's words instantly ignited Liu Jiangbo's fury.

A fist the size of a sandbag immediately flew towards Lin Yi's face.

Lin Yi dodged to the side, but his shoulder was still grazed by Liu Jiangbo's fist, sending a burning pain through it.

But at the same time, Lin Yi landed a powerful roundhouse kick on Liu Jiangbo's side.

Although Liu Jiangbo had thick fat for protection, he couldn't avoid a piercing pain.

After this blow, both were fired up and instantly started brawling.

Lin Yi was half a head taller than Liu Jiangbo, but his center of gravity wasn't as stable, so he was pinned to the ground by Liu Jiangbo.

However, Liu Jiangbo didn't get the upper hand either, as he took several heavy punches to the stomach from Lin Yi.

Feng Zhinan: Favorability +5

Feng Zhinan: Favorability +5

Feng Zhinan's current favorability is 40.

There isn't a beauty who wouldn't be moved by a scene of a hero saving the beauty.

As Feng Zhinan looked at the boy standing up for her, besides gratitude, a strange feeling seemed to be gradually developing in her heart.

Hearing the system's notification sound, Lin Yi actually became anxious.

He hadn't even farmed cashback from Feng Zhinan yet, and her favorability had already reached forty.

The system rules stated that cashback couldn't be earned once it reached over fifty.

If her favorability kept rising like this, what was he supposed to do!

However, Feng Zhinan wasn't the only one conquered by Lin Yi's righteous actions at this moment.

Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability +5

Ye Shuangshuang's current favorability is 60.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a 5-point reward."

"Danger detected for the host."

"The host can spend 5 points to increase their physical fitness level by 1."

"Do you wish to redeem?"

The 5 points of favorability from Ye Shuangshuang at this critical moment made Lin Yi overjoyed.

"Redeem immediately!"

"Ding, redemption successful!"

"Enhancement complete. The host's current physical fitness level is 4."

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

In that instant, the previously deadlocked situation turned around completely.

Lin Yi clamped down on Liu Jiangbo's hands and drove his knee hard into his stomach.

The massive impact forced an eerie indentation into Liu Jiangbo's flabby belly.

Liu Jiangbo felt his stomach churning violently, and a mouthful of bitter bile rose in his throat. After struggling a couple of times, he knelt on the ground, clutching his greasy belly in pain.

"You... you brat... you're done for..."

"Assaulting someone in public... don't even think about attending college!"

Liu Jiangbo was in so much pain he couldn't even lift his head, but he still stubbornly pointed his finger at Lin Yi and spat out threats.

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt a bit uncertain.

It was only the first day of freshman registration; if he were really expelled from school because of this, it would be a huge loss.

Seeing the look of panic on Lin Yi's face, Liu Jiangbo became increasingly smug.

After all, he was a tough guy who feared nothing.

But college students like Lin Yi were different; they had too many weaknesses that could be exploited.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiangbo clutched his stomach and struggled to crawl up from the ground, plopped back into his chair, and looked at Lin Yi with a cold sneer.

He was contemplating what methods to use to get back at this young man and regain the face he had lost today.

Just then, a beauty with wavy hair, wearing a black bodycon skirt, walked elegantly in high heels up to the two of them.

The beauty blocked Lin Yi, and spoke to Liu Jiangbo in a calm, composed manner.

"Let me introduce myself; I am a lawyer."

"I have recorded everything that just happened on my phone."

"Today's conflict was caused by you making the first move."

"This young man's actions can be classified as acting bravely for a just cause!"
