Superhero

Chapter 1 The Hero System

"Let's break up!"

The familiar yet unfamiliar voice of his lover came from the mobile phone. Li Fan's whole body trembled, and the phone almost slipped from his hand. He clenched the Guanyin jade pendant hanging around his neck with his left hand and asked with a heartache as if being cut by a knife, "Why?"

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone. Then, his lover continued in her cold voice, "I'm going abroad. I've been hired by the Euroa Group. The Euroa Group is one of the top ten fashion companies in Europe. This opportunity is very rare, and there may not be another one like it in the future."

"I can wait for you to come back!" Li Fan gritted his teeth and said. Although he wanted to say that he could accompany her to Europe, it was too unrealistic. He didn't have a wealthy family background, and his English was extremely poor. Going to Europe was simply a fantasy.

"Xiaofan... You're already an adult. Nowadays, love can hardly withstand the test of time. And in the future, we will definitely be like two parallel lines. You will be under a lot of pressure being with me. Breaking up is good for both you and me."

Hearing his lover's slightly gentle tone as if she were teaching a child, Li Fan immediately clenched his left hand into a fist. He wanted to say something more, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm at Jiangzhou City Airport. I'll be taking off for Europe in two hours."

Two hours!

Li Fan felt a fire burning inside him. He and his lover had quarreled over a trivial matter two days ago and had been in a cold war for two days. He never expected that the call he had been looking forward to for two days would lead to a permanent separation.

"I'll come and see you off, for the last time!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Li Fan hung up the call. He put away his phone and went to his cabinet to look for clothes. Now, he was a senior student about to graduate. His roommates had all found internships and gone out, leaving him alone in the dormitory. Of course, he had also found a job, but he was just staying in the dormitory to save on rent.

After changing into a white shirt and blue jeans, he walked out of the dormitory. At the age of 22, he had a delicate appearance, a slightly thin figure, and was nearly 1.8 meters tall. Although he couldn't be called the campus heartthrob, he was still very good-looking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make Xu Ya, the campus goddess, fall for him.

After running out of the school gate all the way, he waited for three minutes before the bus arrived. The reason why he didn't take a taxi was that Jiangzhou Media University, where he studied, was very far from Jiangzhou City Airport. It would take at least an hour by taxi, and the cost was definitely beyond what he could afford at the moment. So, he decided to take the subway, which was faster and cheaper.

After the bus drove for ten minutes, he arrived at the subway station. Along the way, he thought a lot. He really didn't feel worthy of Xu Ya. She was a top student from a prestigious university, while he was just an ordinary student from a second-tier university, and their family backgrounds were far from comparable. If they forced themselves to be together, there wouldn't be a bright future.

During the nearly one-hour subway journey, Li Fan felt that time passed so quickly. Standing in the crowded carriage, he kept touching the ordinary Guanyin jade pendant hanging around his neck. He usually did this when he was flustered.

When the terminal station, Jiangzhou City Airport, arrived, he rushed out as if he had gone crazy. He even accidentally bumped into several passengers along the way, causing them to curse continuously.

After rushing out of the subway passage, what came into his sight was the vast airport, the bustling crowd, and countless vehicles. Without thinking much, he ran towards the airport building. But as soon as he ran into the driveway, a luxury car sped towards him from behind.

"Bang——"

The passengers walking on both sides of the driveway instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. They just saw Li Fan being knocked flying, flying a full ten meters. He rolled five or six times on the driveway before stopping, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

"Ah! There's been a car accident!"

A wealthy middle-aged woman couldn't help but exclaim, her voice very shrill, attracting more and more passengers to gather around Li Fan, who was lying in a pool of blood.

At this moment, Li Fan's face was covered in blood, and his white shirt was dyed bright red. His vision was gradually filled with the color of blood.

"Are you crazy? You actually ran into the car!"

Just then, the door of the luxury car opened, and a stylishly dressed young man walked over while scolding. There was not a trace of shame on his face for distorting the truth. Li Fan happened to see his face and deeply engraved it in his heart.

Gradually, his consciousness began to fade, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Vaguely, he seemed to hear the passengers around him calling for an ambulance. And the blood on his face flowed down his cheek and landed on the Guanyin jade pendant in front of his mouth. He didn't see that the Guanyin jade pendant shook slightly when it came into contact with his blood.

"Ding! Blood sample of an unknown living being has been collected..."

"Ding! Starting to scan the iris of this living being..."

"Ding! This living being is human and meets the requirements..."

"Ding! The Hero System has been successfully bound..."

"Ding! Since the host's body has suffered serious trauma, the system will start to repair the host's body automatically!"

In a daze, Li Fan seemed to hear system prompts similar to those in a game. He just regarded it as an auditory hallucination, the chaos at the last moment of his life slipping away.

At the same time, streams of electric current came out from the Guanyin jade pendant, making Li Fan's body twitch continuously. At the same time, the Guanyin jade pendant shot into the center of his eyebrows like lightning without anyone noticing, leaving a b****y hole. However, this b****y hole soon began to heal, which was extremely miraculous.

Five minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived. Just as the paramedics were about to lift Li Fan onto the stretcher, he suddenly twitched all over, his eyes opened instantly, and his body sat up from the stretcher reflexively.

"Huff! Huff..."

Li Fan, with blood all over his face, gasped for breath and looked around blankly. Soon, his consciousness returned to normal. Thinking that Xu Ya was about to board the plane, he ignored his injuries and pushed aside the paramedics around him and rushed towards the airport building.

The onlookers were so scared by his blood-covered face that they quickly moved aside. No one dared to stop him. Along the way, he attracted the frightened glances of many passengers. At this moment, he looked so miserable, and the blood on his white shirt was extremely shocking. Many women even screamed in fright.

Li Fan also realized that his appearance was too terrifying. He quickly ran into a restroom on the first floor of the airport. Standing in front of the sink, he was also startled when he saw his own miserable appearance in the mirror. He quickly washed his face with water. Since his white shirt was also stained with blood, he had no choice but to take off his shirt and wash it with water.

The passengers coming in and out all looked at Li Fan, who was shirtless, with strange looks, as if they were looking at a crazy person.

"Wait a minute, I'm actually okay?"

Li Fan suddenly remembered something. He couldn't believe it and touched his body. There were no serious injuries. Just then, an old man came out of the toilet. Seeing him touching his body without a shirt on, the old man couldn't help but shake his head, sigh, and walked out of the restroom, muttering, "Young people nowadays are really narcissistic."

"The system has used its own energy to repair the host's body, but it can only last for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the host's body will fall into extreme exhaustion."

A cold electronic voice suddenly sounded in Li Fan's mind, scaring him so much that he quickly looked around. But at this moment, there was only him in the restroom.
