Chapter 1

"Lu Yu, 127 points."

"Here."

"Your score has dropped this time. Be more careful next time, don't lose points unnecessarily, and check your answers more thoroughly, understand?"

"Yes, Teacher."

"Chen Mu, 150 points!" Teacher Liang's face lit up with a smile, and his tone became more friendly.

"Here." Chen Mu stepped up to the podium to receive his test paper amidst the envious gazes of his classmates.

"Steady performance, keep it up. If you can improve your Chinese and English scores by ten points or so, you can aim for the Imperial University and Huqing University. Keep working hard." Teacher Liang advised.

"I will, thank you, Teacher." Chen Mu returned to his seat after receiving his test paper, his heart unmoved.

It had been three years, three years of high school, and he had never missed a perfect score in mathematics. Others scored 150 because their ability was only 150.

But for Chen Mu, the test only had 150 points, and the math problems were simply too easy for him.

Because of his good looks, he was known as the "Little Prince of Science" in Class 9 of Grade 3, and he occasionally received love letters from girls in other classes.

"Damn, Chen Mu, this beast, another perfect score, is he even human?" a classmate envied and resented.

"He always gets a perfect score, you're just not used to it yet," his desk mate said.

"We're in the same class, but the gap is so huge!" the classmate complained.

"Compared to your grades, the gap in your looks is even bigger." The desk mate ruthlessly added.

From an academic perspective, Chen Mu was already a success. In the eyes of others, he was a person on the fast track of life, but he propped his head up with one hand, gazing out the window, feeling that life was meaningless.

A future that could be seen from the start, he would definitely attend a 985 or 211 university, and his major would likely be Computer Science or Network Engineering. Naturally, he would become a programmer, for a simple reason: it paid well. He could trade his life for money, sacrificing his hair to buy a house, a car, and an ordinary wife, and that would be his life.

Chen Mu was good at studying and handsome, and he should have been a winner in life, but his lack of choice was due to poverty.

His father had liver problems and stayed at home all year, while his mother worked as a cashier in a supermarket, supporting the family with her salary, which was barely enough.

If it weren't for Chen Mu's consistently top grades, the school would have waived many fees, and he might not have been able to finish high school.

In the future, he would have to rely on student loans to attend university, burdened with tens of thousands of debt, and work overtime at an internet company to pay it off.

These were just the beginning. The key was that Chen Mu had a younger sister who was recently obsessed with a game called League of Legends.

Chen Mu was worried sick about this, and he didn't want to add more pressure to his parents, who were already stressed.

Chen Mu used to be a doting older brother. His sister was beautiful, had a sweet voice, and was academically excellent, but for some reason, her grades had declined as she grew older and stopped focusing on her studies.

Chen Mu was frustrated. His life was already predetermined, and it was so boring. He studied late into the night, and the fatigue of youth was nothing compared to the long years of hard work ahead.

Chen Mu also wanted to rest, to be a lazy person, to read novels, to look at girls' long legs, and to study how to quickly unbutton a girl's bra. That would be the fun in life.

Chen Mu longed to earn money as soon as possible. It would be five more years before he could start working and earning income, which seemed so distant and long.

And what if he got into graduate school? Should he go or not? Another two years, and by the time he was 27, it would be too late.

"Beep, host found, the Great Demon King System is binding..."

The sudden voice startled Chen Mu. What was this?

Chen Mu was confused. A system? As if he hadn't read web novels before?

Chen Mu understood the balance between work and rest. Once he achieved his goal in a subject, he would reward himself by reading web novels for an hour every day the next month. He had heard of systems before.

The name was a bit domineering, the Great Demon King System. Was it going to make him a world-destroying demon king?

What should he do? Should he agree? What if it really wanted to destroy the world? What if it destroyed him if he refused?

While Chen Mu was lost in thought, the voice in his head spoke again.

"The Great Demon King System has successfully bound. The system is starting... System start successful. Host, hello, please accept the binding questions."

"Accept." Chen Mu didn't know what binding questions were, but he couldn't refuse. He had heard that systems were good things.

"Do you want to change your current life?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to make money?"

"Damn, do I need to be asked? I'm almost crazy with the desire to make money." Chen Mu felt the question was pointless. In society, who could live without money?

A single coin could bring down a hero. No matter how good Chen Mu's grades were, he still couldn't afford medical bills.

"Are you willing to remain single to complete tasks?"

"No." Chen Mu refused. He was so handsome, and if it weren't for his high standards, he wouldn't be single. Who knew how long the tasks would take? What if he ended up alone for life?

Other people's systems helped their hosts get girls, but why did he get a reverse one?

"Sorry, I will drain your energy to find a new host. Don't worry, after being drained, you will wake up after three years as a vegetative state, with minimal impact."

"Fine, I'll do it. What tasks do you have? I'll accept even if it means destroying the world." Chen Mu looked resigned. Becoming a vegetative state? What kind of operation was this?

Please, I didn't ask for this. You did this on your own.

"That's the right attitude. I am the Great Demon King System. The host must become the Demon King of League of Legends, making the world fear and professional players tremble. Strive to conquer and become the strongest in the world, achieving the Triple Crown!" The system said with a middle-schooler's enthusiasm.

"..."

"Fine, drain my energy and go. With such a powerful name, it turns out to be a gaming system. No future, I won't do it." Chen Mu thought it was too much of a scam.

With a bit more effort, he could attend the Imperial University, one of the top 50 universities in the world. Why should he play games? This system was too ridiculous.

"Don't rush to refuse. You are the elite chosen from a billion people on this planet, a super genius in League of Legends. However, you are obsessed with studying, neglecting your true talent. I am here to guide you back on the right path." The system said seriously.

"Being obsessed with studying is neglecting your talent, and playing games is the right path? You're talking nonsense. If I didn't have a sister who plays games, I wouldn't believe you." Chen Mu said.

"Complete the tasks and earn enough points to cure diseases, making your father's liver disease completely recover, and even stronger than a normal person." The system said.

"Are you... serious?" Chen Mu hesitated. His father's illness was a constant pain for the family. When his father was healthy, he was a university lecturer with a good salary, benefits, and holidays, living a comfortable life.

His mother was also an intellectual, an accountant at a small company, and the family was happy. But the illness destroyed everything, using up their savings and leaving them with 200,000 in debt.

His mother had to quit her job to take care of his father and became a cashier at a nearby supermarket, with a low salary and no future, just to take care of his father. This made his father feel like a burden, and he lived in depression.

Now, a system claimed it could cure the disease. For Chen Mu, nothing was more important than his family's health, not even the Imperial University or Huqing University.

Without hesitation, Chen Mu decided to accept the system's tasks.

"What do I need to do to cure my father?" Chen Mu asked.

"The system is calculating... The system has determined that the host only needs to win a world championship to earn enough points." The system's answer gave Chen Mu confidence.

"What does being single mean?" Chen Mu asked, not wanting to end the Chen family line.

"When the Triple Crown achievement is completed, the task is finished, and the host can do as they please." The system said.

"What is the Triple Crown achievement?" Chen Mu asked, wondering about three championships.

"Three World Championships, the fastest way to achieve this is in three years. The previous host took four years to achieve it and wanted to aim for a fourth championship but was betrayed by teammates, losing all points and leaving the system. The system then came to this world to find a new host."

"Then what happened to that person? Did he die?" Chen Mu asked.

"No, once the achievement is completed, there is no harm." The system answered.

"Oh, I see. So I just need to stay single for three years?" Chen Mu thought it was manageable, just until his sophomore year, not too bad.

"Not just that. You will also undergo strict training to become the Demon King, not just in gaming skills but also in professional spirit, gaming spirit, and character cultivation, becoming a role model." The system said.

"Playing a game requires professional spirit? You're joking, right? Isn't it just a waste of time?" As a top student, Chen Mu had always been taught that games were a waste of time.

"Please don't underestimate games. They will become an Olympic sport and a recognized competitive event. Your planet is still developing slowly. The previous host's annual salary was already over ten million dollars. Don't worry about your future." The system said.

"Oh? Ten million, in dollars? Wow, that's strong. I'm in! My new motto will be: I am the man who will become the Game King!" Chen Mu said.

"The Game King is a card game in another world. Don't get sidetracked." The system quickly corrected.

"Fine, no problem. By the way, does this system have any benefits?" Chen Mu asked.

"Yes, but there is one last question. Before you win your first world championship, you must follow the system's requirements and devote all your time and effort. Can you do that?" The system asked.

"Yes!" Chen Mu felt it wasn't scary. For a 20,000-dollar prize, he could study hard for a year. Playing a game was nothing.
