Being able to get into a prestigious Chinese university without taking the exam was very satisfying for Lin Chen.

However, with six months till the college entrance exam, Lin Chen decided to consolidate DY's business in the ensuing months.

The base was almost constructed, and the company was running smoothly, with the Little God Chef Private Restaurant thriving with the help of Zhao Xiaowen.

What pleased Lin Chen the most was the popularity value, which had soared to over 490,000, rapidly approaching 500,000.

A video of Lin Chen turning the tide in the final round of the culinary competition went viral on the internet; he had unintentionally become a web celebrity.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host 'Lin Chen' for reaching a popularity value of 500,000, the system can now be upgraded."

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host 'Lin Chen' as the popularity system upgrades to 2.0, deducting 500,000 popularity value."

"Damn it!" Lin Chen felt like he had just fallen from the sky to the ground, 500,000 popularity value, just like that - gone!

"System, can't you play nice? Give me back my 500,000 popularity value!"

Lin Chen almost fainted in the bathroom, 500,000 popularity value— he felt like he'd gone from a rich man to a beggar.

"Don't cry, host, there are many benefits after the upgrade, let me give you an upgrade gift package," the System Brother called out.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host 'Lin Chen' for receiving the upgrade gift package."

"Upgrade gift package!" Lin Chen was delighted and hurriedly opened the package.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host 'Lin Chen' for obtaining the skill—'Holistic Integration'."

Lin Chen's mind went through a sharp pain, followed by a moment of clarity.

Holistic Integration could enhance the user's comprehension, calculation ability, and creativity.

With a thought, a set of martial arts forms appeared in Lin Chen's mind; this set was a fusion of Baji Fist and Jeet Kune Do.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host 'Lin Chen' on creating a new Cultivation Technique through Holistic Integration, would you like to name it?"

"Name it 'Lin Family Fist'!" Lin Chen said excitedly.

In Lin Chen's Cultivation Technique column, Jeet Kune Do and Baji Fist disappeared, replaced with the new Cultivation Technique - Lin Family Fist.

In the park, Lin Chen tried practicing his newly-created Lin Family Fist and couldn't help but feel elated.

The eightfold power of the Lin Family Fist was indeed a fusion of Baji Fist and Jeet Kune Do; each level was more potent than the last, with attacks containing eight layers of hidden force, not only possessing the formidable attacking power of the Baji Fist but also incorporating the speed and finesse of Jeet Kune Do.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host 'Lin Chen' for integrating the Shennong Secret Technique with the Taiji Bagua Technique through Holistic Integration."

Damn, this is just too awesome, Lin Chen hadn't expected that a single Holistic Integration would bring him so many benefits.

As he was just about to finish, Lin Chen suddenly saw a couple walking towards him.

Checking the time, it was already after ten at night; to be walking around this late, they weren't afraid of encountering bad people.

Lin Chen shook his head in resignation, about to leave, when suddenly his eyes narrowed.

The approaching person was none other than DY High School's English teacher, Li Meiying.

Damn, Li Meiying was actually in a relationship!

Li Meiying was a well-known beauty and affable teacher at DY High School, very popular among the students.

Seeing the boyfriend by Li Meiying's side, Lin Chen couldn't help but inwardly lament—the flower was disgraced by the swine.

The man was also known to Lin Chen; it was his homeroom teacher, Wei Dayong.

Wei Dayong had been nicknamed Wei Zhongxian by his students; as a teacher, he didn't exhibit any dignity befitting his role.

He fawned over students from wealthy families while being deliberately difficult with children from poor ones.

Lin Chen had suffered quite a bit from this "Wei Zhongxian" when he was a student.

It was their own free love, so Lin Chen had no right to interfere; he prepared to turn and leave.

However, as Lin Chen turned around, he suddenly saw a black aura on Li Meiying's face.

"Not good. Teacher Li is in danger of a bloody disaster."

Teacher Li usually took great care of Lin Chen. Although his studies were poor, Teacher Li often tutored him.

Several times when Lin Chen didn't have meat in his meal at the cafeteria, she specifically asked the chef to stir-fry something for him.

Now that Teacher Li was in trouble, how could he ignore it? Therefore, Lin Chen didn't leave but hid in the shadows to watch what happened next.

Sure enough, after a short while, five flashy-dressed, drunk young men blocked their way.

"What are you doing?" Wei Dayong said nervously.

"Haha, this chick is pretty good-looking. Let us have some fun with her!" lewdness flashed in the eyes of the men as they stared intently at Li Meiying.

Upon hearing their words, Wei Dayong's body stiffened, and he forced a smile, "Guys, please be reasonable. How about this, I have some money here, you guys can buy some cigarettes."

With that, Wei Dayong took out a few Red Bull bills from his pocket and handed them to one of the thugs.

The thug accepted the Red Bull bills and sneered, "You're smart."

Wei Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we can go now, right?"

The thug sneered again, "Who said you could go? Once we've had our fun with that chick, then you can go."

As he spoke, the thug reached out to grab Li Meiying.

"Don't mess around," Wei Dayong shielded Li Meiying.

At this moment, Li Meiying was also trembling, hiding behind Wei Dayong.

Then the faces of the thugs showed a ferocious smirk as they each pulled out shiny daggers from their pockets and surrounded the two.

"Kid, are you looking for death?" one of the thugs said coldly.

"I—" Seeing the daggers in the thugs' hands, Wei Dayong completely lost his nerve.

At this moment, two of the thugs reached out and pulled Li Meiying away.

"Dayong, save me!" Li Meiying struggled and cried for help.

But as Wei Dayong looked at the shining daggers in the thugs' hands, his face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't bring himself to move.

At first, Li Meiying still held onto a thread of hope, but when she saw Wei Dayong standing still, she completely despaired.

"What a waste of space, his own woman is being taken and he does nothing."

"Ding dong, host 'Lin Chen' has received a heroic rescue mission, completion of the mission rewards 1 point of popularity!"

"A mission!" Lin Chen was first delighted, then immediately disheartened. Only 1 point of popularity as a reward, was this some kind of joke?

But Lin Chen had no more time to argue with the system. At this moment, Li Meiying was being pinned to the ground by the thugs, and one of them was preparing to rip her clothes off.

"Stop!" Lin Chen roared as he rushed out.

Suddenly, a startled shout made the thugs jump.

Li Meiying, seeing Lin Chen appear, was first delighted but then her eyes showed urgency as she shouted, "Xiaochen, run and call the police!"

The thugs were startled by her words. Lin Chen was more than twenty meters away from them, and if he ran to the road and called for help, things would become complicated.

However, to their surprise, not only did Lin Chen not run towards the park exit, but he also ran towards them.

"Isn't he a fucking idiot?" Seeing Lin Chen running towards them, the thugs let out a relieved breath.

Li Meiying's face showed a trace of despair, feeling deeply saddened in her heart. Now, not only was her own honor ruined, but she had also dragged her student into a dire situation.

At that moment, Lin Chen had already reached the thugs and roared, "Let go of Teacher Li."

"Let go of her? Boy, you're asking for death." One of the thugs suddenly brandished his dagger and stabbed towards Lin Chen.
