There were only two young men in the small bookstore. Felix ignored Austin's presence, but on the other hand Austin kept watching Felix.Somehow he felt a strange fluctuation as soon as he saw the man named Felix. He couldn't explain it well, but he knew it was a kind of scientific attraction as Heaven and Earth complemented each other even though they would never merge.Of course Austin could tell clearly that what he was feeling now wasn't any kind of romantic attraction, he wasn't that stupid to interpret it."This seems to be getting more complicated..." Austin muttered. He could have used his abilities and made the girl named Lily come out on her own, but the presence of other people in the room made him think twice.Austin sighed heavily, he looked back at the man named Felix for a moment and then sat down on one of the empty chairs positioned right next to the shop door.He picked up one of the random books and read it. He would think of another way he could meet Lily today or
In one of the public schools in the city of Winston, a teenage boy stared at the textbooks on his desk with focus. Understanding every subject matter is his duty as a student, that's what his mother always emphasized to him.Austin Barnett, a smart and model student at Winston High School. Outsiders may think Austin is a person who is respected and admired by everyone, but in fact it is not what they imagine.Born in a deprived family made him the subject of ridicule by all students, his mediocre appearance and small body posture seemed to attract bullies to bully him.There was only one advantage of Austin Barnett, his brain. He was a genius who always won various provincial Olympiads and never lost an academic battle with other participants from any school. That's what makes him the smartest student in Winston High School, it's also what makes him able to survive in school even though others always look down on him.Occasionally Austin looked at his study table that was filled with m
Like most people, what Austin did after getting a million dollars at once was of course shopping. He didn't dwell on his sadness for too long, after all with a lot of money everything will be easier, including getting women.[Exchange Points: 1,350 points]An hour earlier, he tried to answer some easy questions that the system asked him. As the system mentioned earlier, easy questions were rewarded with 10 Exchange Points for each question. As a result, he answered 129 questions in no time, which increased his exchange points by thousands.Only this time Austin didn't immediately exchange all those points for money. Maybe later the points will be more useful for other things. Although his poor condition really needs money."It turns out that there are tens of thousands of lists of easy questions, if I answer them all, that means I can get hundreds of thousands or even millions of exchange points. I wonder what the questions on the hard level or even the challenging level contain? I'll
On the Winston side of town, more precisely in the western district, where Winston's low-income residents live, the scenery in the western district is very different from the other districts.A middle-aged woman in her mid-thirties was painstakingly lifting a container filled with various ingredients for her to sell the next day. That woman is none other than Selina Barnett, Austin Barnett's mother.In order to support her only child and herself, she makes selling her handmade snacks her source of income. It's not much, but it's enough to feed them both at least three times a day.But with staple food prices rising every year, she only makes a small profit. Selina wiped the sweat from her forehead lightly, "the price of ingredients is getting more expensive every day. Should I change what I sell to something else? But that doesn't guarantee it will sell out..."Selina sighed softly, "I should focus on what I'm doing now. Let me think about it later."The rattling of the wooden door of
Austin looked at his reflection in the mirror of his room. He was wearing the suit he bought yesterday, his face was also more cheerful than his usual days.Not without reason, last night he earned 4,000 Exchange Points for doing his two homework assignments. With that many Exchange Points, he no longer needed to worry about lacking money later on."I'll go to the library, then buy a new cell phone. I'll probably be out of the house until noon, then help mom sell..." she murmured enthusiastically.He didn't want his mother to keep working, but Austin couldn't say that he had a lot of money now. Selina would probably think he was crazy if he said that all the money he earned was from the system.It didn't make sense, but that was the reality.The teenage boy picked up his cell phone, checking it for a moment in case there was a new school assignment or something he had missed. After making sure there was nothing that should keep him at home longer, he waltzed out of the room."Mom, I'm

Austin rashly added 1,000 points to every attribute he had except the Dexterity attribute, that was because he knew adding points to the DEX attribute was now pointless.All he could do was increase his brute strength. He simply did not know any skills related to martial arts or Magic Spells like the system mentioned. He just relied on his small hands, hoping to kill his uncle with them.Jhon stared at his nephew who was beating him madly, Jhon's large body seemed as light as cotton in front of Austin whose body was even much smaller than his.'No way!' Jhon felt helpless in front of Austin who was crazed with rage.Jhon's entire body was covered with bloody wounds. Austin on the other hand caught a glimpse of his hands that were already covered in Jhon's blood. He glanced at his uncle who was already lying helpless, then grunted harshly, "Even if I kill someone like you, I will never regret doing it. But I don't want to dirty my hands any more than this by killing a bastard like you.
Fortunately, Selina was not seriously injured. The bruises on her face were well treated by the GP, and Austin was happy to see his mom wake up after several hours of unconsciousness.Caroline had met Selina briefly and greeted her, but that didn't last as the girl was reluctant to be a nuisance between the mother-son pair. After confirming Selina's well-being, the girl chose to return home.Austin painstakingly peeled the orange peel for his mother to eat, he placed the peel on an empty tray, and handed his own orange to his mother."Mom, I want us both to move out of the current house..." Austin said suddenly which surprised Selina a little.A little guilt indirectly arose in Selina's heart, was Austin fed up with the house we were living in now? That's what Selina thought."Jhon will always come to our house when he needs money. I don't want to see him anymore, that bastard has made us both miserable. If we move house, Jhon won't come to us anymore, we can live in peace..." Austin'
