After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

Big gold chain, small watch, and three meals of barbecue a day!

He had a shaved head, wore a floral shirt, and his dress pants and leather shoes were very neat.

Li Qing is 1.85 meters tall and has a very strong and muscular build.

Judging from his appearance alone, he is the standard image of a gangster boss in other people's eyes, although the line between a gangster boss and a petty thug is extremely blurred.

Of course, to use a trendy term now, he could be considered one of the local "swordsmen" or "gunmen".

He himself didn't think there was much of a problem with his image; he'd gotten used to it over the years anyway.

To be honest, Li Qing wasn't a good person in the traditional sense, but he wasn't a bad person either.

He dropped out of school in junior high and has been struggling in society ever since, having followed an older brother and been bullied by him.

Although he didn't make any major mistakes, he made quite a few minor ones and was a frequent visitor to the police station back then.

However, after the older brother he followed went to jail, he learned from his mistake and gave up his thoughts of fooling around.

With the help of some connections I had made back then, I managed to make a living in this small county town.

After years of hard work, I've finally found something to do.

Feeling quite pleased with himself, he lay on a slightly worn-out recliner, intending to take a nap, when his phone rang at an inopportune moment.

I picked up my phone and looked at the number on the screen, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Brother Qing, when can we settle the bill for the parts you picked up from me last month?"

Hearing the slightly unsure words in his ear, Li Qing felt a little embarrassed.

But no matter how embarrassed you are, you have to shamelessly respond to the other person.

"Old Niu, next month, I'll definitely get it for you next month. We've been brothers for so many years, don't you trust me?"

Okay, that's all for now, I have some things to take care of!

Without waiting for a reply, Li Qing quickly hung up the phone as if fleeing, and unconsciously let out a slight sigh of relief.

He silently calculated his income for the month.

First, there's the billiards hall. It's neither good nor bad. After deducting all expenses, you can save about 15,000 yuan.

Then there's his motorcycle shop. Because he sells and buys motorcycles, he hasn't made much money; most of his money is tied up in the motorcycles he just bought.

The old man who just called him had bought over 100,000 yuan worth of parts on credit because he needed to repair these motorcycles.

Besides these, he also owes some things. To be able to get by like this is a skill in itself, at least he can still get things on credit.

I glanced at the time on my phone; it was almost noon. I didn't feel like lying down any longer, so I decided to go for a walk.

He got up, picked up the car keys on the reception desk, and was about to leave.

"Xiao Guo, you watch the shop. Call me if anything happens. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, he walked to the door, then turned back, put down the Cherokee 213 key in his hand, and picked up the Black Flag 500 key.

Why? It's because that 213 was too fuel-inefficient; he couldn't afford to drive it anymore.

A 1997 car with a fuel consumption of 18 liters per 100 kilometers – it really hurts to step on it even once.

He went out, got on his bike, put on his helmet, and hadn't ridden far when he saw many electric motorcycles parked around him while waiting at a red light.

A group of young men, all very thin, with multicolored hair, were standing out against the traffic lights ahead.

Looking at this group of energetic young men, all riding around in various colors, not only were the people dressed in different colors, but the vehicles were also dressed in the same colors.

The scrolling lights kept flashing, and there was also a DJ playing from the speakers, instantly bringing the noise and light pollution to a peak.

Li Qing didn't understand what they were thinking, but she respected it, after all, everyone has their own way of living.

As people say, if you want to live a peaceful old age, you should mind your own business. Besides, they won't have any interaction anyway!

Just as the green light was about to turn on, he heard a very unusual sound.

【Ding--】

Li Qing didn't pay too much attention, since the DJ next to her was very loud.

But just then, not only did a voice come to their ears, but several lines of text also appeared in front of them.

[The Merit System is binding...]

[Binding successful]

[Host detected is on the verge of an antisocial outburst, posing an extremely high risk to society. Correction mode activated.]

This merit system aims to guide the host in accumulating merit.

Looking at the words that appeared before him, he was momentarily dazed, but he finally realized that it really wasn't these energetic young men next to him playing tricks.

He immediately found it amusing. In all these years, Li Qing had never imagined that such an outrageous thing would happen to him.

The system from the novel actually appeared in his life.

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of anger. He was an old scoundrel, not a great villain, but not a good person either, he thought to himself.

"He knows what kind of person he is, and what merits can I possibly have to do with him?"

They've done everything from fighting and scrambling for road space to stealing earth, and now they're saying they're tied to a merit system?

[Correction mode activated...]

[Mission: The young men around you have become a source of social instability. Please correct their behavior.]

Task Rewards: Guiding one person earns +50 Merit Points (no upper limit), and a Newbie Gift Pack *1

【5、4、3、2、1……】

[The task has been automatically accepted; please complete it as soon as possible.]

"You fucking..."

Li Qing realized that people can actually laugh when they're speechless, just like he is now.

What else could he do? Since things had come to this, he might as well turn around and enjoy it.

After he finished convincing himself, the energetic young man next to him had already crossed the road on his electric motorcycle, and a horn sounded behind him.

Coming to my senses, I shifted into gear, twisted the accelerator, and followed.

But to be honest, he himself was having a hard time keeping up in his own vehicle.

Li Qing himself owns a motorcycle shop, so he's not completely unaware of these energetic young men ahead.

They really are a destabilizing factor in society, which is not hard to imagine.

The electric motorcycles they ride aren't cheap; even if they buy a new one, they still need to modify it, which would be even more expensive.

How can a group of kids with little money support their spending? Of course, there are all sorts of shady practices behind this, none of them very legal.

If we let this continue, and they completely lose themselves on this path, their lives will be ruined.

He was too lazy to care before, but now that he has the system, he doesn't mind doing something.

[Mission objective detected: The young men are heading to the old tool factory. Host, please take the shortcut and act quickly.]

Looking at the electric motorcycles ahead, Li Qing knew that once he knew their destination, things would be much easier. He turned the handlebars and took a shortcut.

Although he didn't know what the group of kids were going to do, he had a rough idea: it was probably something like racing cars or fighting.

While the acceleration during cruising is slow, it doesn't mean you can't ride fast. Taking shortcuts can definitely help you get ahead.

Having been around for so many years, I know the ways of the world much better than those kids.

When he arrived at the dilapidated old tool factory, the group of children hadn't arrived yet.
