Chapter 21: System Upgrade?!

  Annan University has a history of nearly 100 years since its establishment, and is a higher education institution with coordinated development of multiple disciplines including engineering, management, literature, science, law, medicine, economics, and education.

  Annan University adheres to the educational philosophy of "people-oriented, all-round education, moral integrity, comprehensive knowledge and specialized skills, serving society". It is committed to cultivating high-level applied talents with solid professional foundation, strong practical innovation ability and excellent comprehensive quality for local economic and social development.

  It was already dawn, the university gate was closed, but the lights in the security room inside were still on. Looking at the tightly closed gate, Ling Tian'ao smiled slightly and turned to walk away.

  Two minutes later, a black figure was running quickly through the campus, heading straight for the dormitory building behind the school.

  Boys' dormitory, room 406.

  "Lao Si, what's going on? Spit it out, I'll take care of it for you!" A student over 1.9 meters tall shouted angrily in the dormitory.

  "Second brother, forget it. At worst, I won't go to work anymore, we're still students after all." On the bed opposite the high school student, sat a slightly thin student. The expression on his face was timid at this time.

  The contrast between these two people is too obvious. One is over 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a sturdy build, like a black bear. The other looks less than 1.8 meters tall and has a slender build. These two standing together are too eye-catching.

  "Never mind whether we are students or not, just tell us what's going on! This class is definitely not going to work out, but you can't just beat us up for nothing! When have the people from 406 ever been bullied by others?" At this time, a student sitting on the bed next to them spoke up.

  His name is Zhang Wen Yao, the eldest in the dormitory. Although he's only twenty-one years old, his mind is mature and he handles things with sufficient stability. Wisdom occasionally flashes in his eyes. Although he appears stable, seeing his own brothers being bullied is still unbearable for him.

  "Boss, really no need, we are still students after all. I'll just go find another job later." Lin Tian, the fourth in the dormitory, was born in a rural area and had an introverted personality, with the simplicity of a country person, and didn't want to implicate his several friends in the dormitory because of himself.

  Boom!

  The dormitory door was suddenly pushed open, and a black shadow darted in, which was Ling Tianao who had just returned.

  Walked to Lao Si's bedside, looked down at Lao Si's still swollen half face and the hint of grievance in his eyes, suddenly furious.

  "What's going on?" Ling Tian'ao was not like them, he had been influenced by the revolutionary ideology of his grandfather since childhood, and as a person, he valued relationships and justice. At this moment, seeing his brother being bullied, he naturally felt a burning anger in his heart.

  Lin Tian looked up and saw Ling Tian's proud and stern eyes, a warm current flowed through his heart, Lin Tian was very moved.

  "Lao San, you've finally come back! Look at Linzi being beaten up, and he won't even tell us what happened. It's infuriating!" Liao Qingyang, with a fiery temper and a physique like a black bear, was on the verge of collapse, and seeing Ling Tian'ao hastily spitting out bitter water.

  "Lin Zi, if you still consider us as brothers, then don't hide and dodge. What's going on? If you don't consider us as brothers, then I take back what I just said!" Ling Tian Ao suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm down his tone.

  Lin Tian calmed down and slowly recounted the events of the day, while Ling Tian'ao and several others grew increasingly indignant as they listened, feeling more and more unjust for Lin Tian.

  Lin Tian, due to family financial difficulties, took on multiple part-time jobs during his university days to earn tuition fees or supplement his family's income. Originally, Lin Tian was a salesperson, but after two consecutive months without any performance, he was fired. Now, he has entered an entertainment center called Le Valley and became a waiter.

  Here is the translation:

  It happened that Lin Tian met a few customers at work one evening, and they asked him to flip cards. As a waiter, Lin Tian couldn't refuse. However, after he brought the people they had flipped over to their private room, these individuals actually blamed Lin Tian for swapping the cards they had flipped because they didn't like the people who were brought over. No matter how Lin Tian explained himself, the other side insisted that he had swapped the cards.

  According to the rules, waiters who privately swap shifts will be fined or even fired! Lin Tian did not want to be fired, because once he was fired, all his hard-earned wages would be gone. This had happened before and served as a warning.

  Soon, Lin Tian's manager came over. Originally, Lin Tian thought that as long as the manager arrived, everything would be fine, and there was surveillance footage to prove that he hadn't switched the cards. But what made Lin Tian furious was that when his manager saw the people in the private room, he didn't even bother to ask about what had happened, and instead directly scolded Lin Tian severely, not giving him any chance to explain!

  The last few people seemed still dissatisfied, and actually wanted Lin Tian to kneel down and apologize to them. Moreover, they wanted the several women brought in by Lin Tian to ride on his back and crawl out of the private room!

  No matter what, Lin Tian is a straightforward and hot-blooded man, he can't do such things no matter what, even if he doesn't get paid for a month, he won't kneel down!

  Lin Tian was slapped in the face by his manager after rejecting their request, surrounded by the indifferent gaze of several women and the snickering of several men!

  Lin Tian felt his dignity being trampled on and kicked several times. Lin Tian didn't say a word, turned around and left the private room!

  "Hey! Kid! You dare step out of the dorm for a second! Don't even think about coming back!! And forget about getting your salary!!"

  Before leaving, Lin Tian's ears echoed with their roar, and he left Leyou Valley without looking back.

  "Damn it! He's bullying people in the Gobi Desert, isn't he?!" Liao Qingyang on the side suddenly started scolding loudly.

  "What the grass! I won't let Le Gu be demolished!" Ling Tian Ao's face suddenly turned gloomy after hearing this.

  "Linzi, don't be afraid, it's nothing, tomorrow a few of us will go with you! We didn't do anything wrong, why should we be afraid of them?" Zhang Wenyao came over to comfort him.

  "Big brother, second brother, third brother, I really didn't do anything, I just felt quite angry at the time. Now that I think about it, there's no need to make a fuss, after all, they have money and power, we're just small employees, it's only right that we should yield. Let's just drop it." Lin Tian was too weak-willed, an office worker who didn't want to make a big deal out of being scolded a couple of times.

  The most important thing is that Lin Tian knows that Le Gu is not simple, since he applied for the job, he knew that Le Gu was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, although his power on the surface was not small, but secretly, Le Gu's power was even more terrifying!

  "What the heck! What's wrong with him? So what if he has money? And so what about the service staff? We're here to work, not to get beaten up! What's there to be afraid of?" Liao Ke Yang saw Lin Tian like this and couldn't help but feel angry, but after being together for so long, he also understood Lin Tian a bit.

  "That's right, if it was really Linzi who didn't do his job well, he would be fined and the others wouldn't have anything to say. But now he's openly bullying you, this can't just be let go!" Zhang Wenyao's face was stern, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

  "Alright, that's about it. We'll talk again tomorrow, they're probably off work now too, this can't just be the end of it!" Ling Tian'ao said as he stood up and walked to the windowsill to pick up his toothbrush to brush his teeth.

  "It's like this now, okay, I'm going to sleep, I'm so tired!" Liao Ke Yang yawned and turned over on the bed.

  Lin Tian looked at several people with some helplessness and worry, didn't say much more, and also went to wash up and sleep.

  Ling Tian lay on the bed, but unlike the other three, he didn't truly fall asleep. He felt that his understanding of the Conquest System was still too shallow, so he prepared to enter the system again to gain a deeper understanding of what it was all about.

  "Enter the system!" Ling Tian'ao shouted in his mind with his eyes closed.

  ‘……’

  No response, Ling Tian's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Was it all just a dream?"

  "Conquer the system?" Ling Tian'ao asked again.

  "The system is upgrading to ultimate version, upgrade remaining time, ten seconds!"

  “10…9…3…2…”
