C14 Unruly Mode!

"Coming right up!" A clear, crisp voice rang out from behind the barbecue stand as a petite and sprightly figure emerged, holding a bundle of beer and a large plate of kebabs.

It was Su Rou who stepped out, and upon her appearance, the once formidable group of young men dressed in white shirts and black pants suddenly lost their edge. They all fixated on Su Rou, and even without looking at them, she could sense their stares, making her feel incredibly awkward. Nevertheless, she had to muster the courage to serve the food.

After setting down the beer and kebabs, Su Rou turned to fetch more food, but a hand suddenly extended, blocking her way.

"Little sister, you're quite the looker, and you've got a nice figure too—just my type. What do you guys think about making her your sister-in-law?" Baldy joked with his fellow bikers, flashing a grin.

"Sure!" The response came in a thunderous chorus from the three tables, startling the other patrons into a shiver.

Fear gripped Su Rou even tighter, and Yu Yemei, her mother, also grew anxious.

"Big brother, my daughter is still very young; she's only just started her freshman year of college. Could you perhaps make an exception? Here, this is all the money I've made today—I'll give it to you," Yu Yemei pleaded, pulling out a handful of change from her pocket in a fluster.

"Big brother, I apologize, we don't get much cash here. Let me scan a code for you instead," Yu Yemei said, her voice tinged with urgency, worried that her actions might provoke the man.

"You're this young lady's mom?" Baldy glanced at Yu Yemei and asked.

Yu Yemei nodded silently, too afraid to speak.

"Well then, you must be my future mother-in-law. No need to be so formal with me. It's embarrassing enough to meet the parents without a gift, let alone accept one from you," Baldy said, making himself right at home. However, his remarks didn't sit well with a young man nearby.

"What nonsense is this? A toad lusting after swan meat. Take a good look at yourself before you spout such nonsense. Beat it, and stop defiling our pure-hearted girls," the young man interjected, unable to contain his disgust.

Baldy was just about to make a move on Su Rou when a young man seated at a nearby table unexpectedly cursed at him.

Before Baldy could respond, his loyal henchmen sprang into action. Two men dressed in black pants, white shoes, and white shirts approached the young man. Yet, the young man was quicker. He stood up and landed a punch on one of them, leaving the man with a swollen, bruised face.

But Baldy wasn't alone; he had backup. Seeing the situation escalate, another young man immediately struck back, landing a punch on the first young man's chin.

The other members of Baldy's crew, witnessing the scuffle, stood up, ready to join the fray.

Qin Fen, however, bellowed, "Stop!" His voice boomed like a clap of thunder, startling everyone. The Baldy brothers and the courageous young men all ceased their actions and turned to look at him.

"What's happening here?" Qin Fen walked over to Su Rou, his face etched with confusion.

Su Rou quickly gave him a meaningful glance, urging him to stay out of it. Yu Yemei chimed in, "Fen, this doesn't concern you. Go on home. I'll bring you a bowl of your favorite kebabs tonight."

Su Rou and her mother were well aware of Qin Fen's situation and didn't want to drag him into their troubles.

"Kid, why the loud outburst? What's your relationship with these two?" Baldy demanded, eyeing Qin Fen with a hostile gaze.

"Brother, this young man is unrelated to us. He's just a tenant who frequents our place for meals," Yu Yemei hastily explained, distancing Qin Fen from the situation, clearly for his benefit.

Baldy sneered upon hearing this. Just a tenant, he thought, probably without much clout. He scared me for a moment, but he won't get off without shedding some blood.

"Auntie, how can you say we're unrelated? I rent from you," Qin Fen feigned misunderstanding Yu Yemei's words.

Baldy laughed, "Kid, are you truly clueless or just playing dumb? These two are clearly trying to protect you. Too bad you're not seeing it. If you're going to charge headfirst into danger, then don't blame us for getting rough. Get him!"

As Baldy's words hung in the air, two lackeys in white shirts sprang into action. Qin Fen nimbly sidestepped their attack when suddenly a voice echoed in his mind.

[Random mission triggered: Defeat Baldy and his henchmen, and assist Su Rou and Yu Yemei. Completion of the mission will reward you with 200 skill points.]

Qin Fen was momentarily at a loss for words. He had intended to intervene anyway, but the system's reward seemed meager.

Then, a functional panel materialized in his mind, showing his skill points tally: 312.

A buzz shot through Qin Fen's head!

Previously, he had made over 30,000 from his street vending, which was supposedly converted into skill points, leaving him with just over 30.

And now he had a total of 312 skill points?

These skill points must be incredibly valuable.

By completing the mission, he would gain another 200 skill points, equivalent to 20,000 yuan.

On second thought, it didn't seem like such a bad deal.

"System, can I opt out of this mission?"

"No, but there are no penalties for failure. Baldy and his goons will simply 'educate' the host."

The system's response was crisp, albeit cheeky.

"Cough, cough."

Qin Fen couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment at the system's remark. He was a Psychic with awakened spacetime abilities, and with the system's backing, how could he possibly lose?

"System, what's the purpose of skill points?"

"Skill points can be used to enhance the host's physical condition or certain specific skills. Rest assured, they are incredibly valuable."

Comforted by this, Qin Fen inquired further, "Is there a way to immediately boost my combat skills?"

"Affirmative, host. For 100 skill points, you can achieve mastery in Intercepting Fist."

A thrill surged through Qin Fen. Intercepting Fist? That's excellent! If I master it at the highest level, wouldn't I be as formidable as Little Long?

It would cost him 100 skill points, but by defeating Baldy and his crew, he stood to gain 200. This was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.

"System, use the skill points to attain mastery in Intercepting Fist." With a thought, Qin Fen felt a rush of new knowledge flood his consciousness.

"Ah!" Qin Fen couldn't suppress a sharp scream, startling a young man who had been about to club him from behind so much that the stick dropped from his grasp.

In the next instant, Qin Fen's demeanor completely transformed, capturing the undivided attention of everyone present.

"Why do I suddenly find this kid kind of terrifying?" Baldy thought, his heart skipping a beat.

Without hesitation, Qin Fen sprang into action. He charged at the cocky youths, landing punch after punch, swiftly bringing each one to the ground before him.

Not even the young man wielding a machete was spared.
