In front of the hotel mirror.

A man stands in front of the mirror.

This man has a neat and tidy crew cut.

There is a very noticeable scar on his forehead.

Although he looks quite young, no one would ever call him a boy.

Just one glance gives a fierce and intimidating impression. Although none of his facial features are particularly distinctive on their own, when combined, they somehow become extremely menacing.

The scar on his forehead makes him even more intimidating.

To put it in a more cultured way: He doesn't look like a good person at all!

Xiaoyong looks at the fierce face in the mirror.

Even he doesn't understand why he looks this way.

His parents, though not particularly outstanding in appearance, are at least normal.

Why did he end up looking like this?

Xiaoyong has been troubled by his face since childhood.

How to put it? Even in kindergarten, Xiaoyong was an exceptional case.

Even when he had a calm expression, others saw him as someone with a gloomy and fierce face.

He once stopped other children from bullying a girl, but the girl he saved was so scared that she burst into tears.

And he often became the BOSS that other boys wanted to challenge!

As he grew older, the situation didn't improve at all!

When others fought, he watched... and ended up being dragged to the police station.

And because of his fierce appearance, he often heard things like:

"Kid, why are you staring at me?"

"Are you不服气 (dissatisfied)?"

"Keep looking at me, and I'll show you!"

To avoid being bullied, Xiaoyong practiced the family's Tianjin wrestling to perfection.

Because of his wrestling practice, he developed a love for combat sports and learned many other styles.

Including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and some basic boxing techniques.

With his love for these things and being a sports prodigy, he was always invincible!

As a result, his legend has always been passed around in school.

This led to the good students in the class keeping their distance from him, while the less academically inclined students all looked up to him as a big brother...

But! Xiaoyong just wanted to live a normal life!

"New city, new place, Xiaoyong, come on, you have to try your best, be friendly to your classmates! Keep smiling, and handle your relationships well! University four-year goal: 1. Don't take on any more followers, make a few friends, real friends! 2. Try to find a girlfriend, a pretty girlfriend!"

Xiaoyong muttered to himself.

Actually, with the extra points for being a sports prodigy, he could have attended a good university in his hometown.

But to get away from that familiar place and those familiar people, he deliberately chose a university far away.

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang.

"Mom, why are you calling so early?" Xiaoyong answered the phone.

On the other end, Xiaoyong's mother said, "I just wanted to see if you're up. It's the day of registration, you can't let Jiayi wake you up, right?"

"I'm up, I'm up. Don't worry, I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself."

Xiaoyong's mother hesitated for a moment and then gave her advice: "Son, after you start university, studying is secondary. The most important thing is to get along well with Jiayi. You look so fierce... no one will dare to approach you except Jiayi! Be more proactive, try to get married after graduation. Jiayi is so beautiful, she will definitely have a beautiful child, and when we take the child out... other children won't be scared to tears..."

Thinking about this, Xiaoyong's mother felt helpless.

She also wanted to enjoy the fun of normal parenting.

When she took Xiaoyong out as a child, even the parents would subconsciously keep their children away from them.

Moreover, she was really worried about Xiaoyong's future!

In her view, if her son looks so fierce, how will he find a wife?

"My dear mom! Stop nagging, I only have this one friend. If I really do that, I might lose my only friend!" He hung up the phone in annoyance.

He fell into a reverie.

Han Jiayi, the girl he saved in kindergarten, who was so scared that she burst into tears, making Xiaoyong at a loss.

But after that, Han Jiayi became attached to Xiaoyong.

She has been his only friend from childhood to now.

Xiaoyong values this friendship, so he holds Han Jiayi in high regard.

Han Jiayi is very beautiful, and beautiful girls always attract trouble, which is one of the reasons why Xiaoyong is always in trouble.

"Remember, be friendly, smile!"

Xiaoyong encouraged himself.

Perhaps because he had no friends, over time, Xiaoyong got used to having a blank expression.

He smiled at the mirror, but it looked somewhat sinister and terrifying.

But Xiaoyong didn't realize this and was quite satisfied.

"Ding, host's appearance meets 100% criteria, innate fierce bones, system 'Fierce and Menacing' loaded successfully, new player gift pack unlocked!"

"Ding, new player gift pack unlocked, 'Fierce Eye,' enhances host's eyes, gains precise dynamic vision, appearance menace +10!"

The sudden notification left Xiaoyong speechless.

At that moment, Xiaoyong noticed that his eye muscles seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Although they were still the same eyes, they looked much more menacing at first glance!

"Ding, system task issued, collect fear from 100 people, reward: 5000 yuan."

Hearing this notification, Xiaoyong was completely flabbergasted!

"Get lost! What the hell system! Get off me!"

He shouted in anger.

He was already troubled by his fierce appearance, and now this system was giving him a +10 to his menace?

Was it afraid he wasn't scary enough?

But no matter how he cursed, the system didn't respond.

At that moment, a gentle female voice came from the door.

"Yong, are you ready? Let's go?"

Han Jiayi and Xiaoyong were admitted to the same city's university, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

Over the years, although Han Jiayi's parents found it strange that Xiaoyong looked more and more fierce, they knew he was kind-hearted.

Since they grew up together, both sets of parents decided not to come and send them off, letting the two of them go together for registration.

"Just a moment!"

Xiaoyong was in a panic inside.

He lowered his voice and said, "Shitty system, get lost! I don't need you!"

Han Jiayi stood at the door, her beauty was striking.

Her delicate features and well-proportioned figure, with a curvy body, made her a stunning beauty wherever she went.

Out of curiosity, she pressed her ear to the door, seemingly hearing Xiaoyong's voice.

"Hmm? Yong, is there someone in your room?" Han Jiayi asked.

"No!"

Xiaoyong was on the verge of tears, but the system didn't respond at all.

"Come out quickly!" Han Jiayi urged from the door.

Xiaoyong didn't have time to check the system interface, but he made up his mind!

Absolutely! Absolutely not going to scare anyone!

No matter what the hell 5000 yuan or the fear of 100 people.

He wouldn't do that task!
