In the script of the Otherworld, I play the main character.

Tsukimi Akika said happily, while Kazama Shizuru hesitated, somewhat tempted, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? It's not suitable for Ayaha to drink, is it?"

Tsukimi Akatsuki looked at Lin Ran with hopeful eyes, and Lin Ran naturally nodded in agreement: "It's okay, a little bit won't cause any problems."

Tsukimi Akika cheered and called the waiter to bring out the drinks. The group then started discussing what games to play. "Let's play cards. I don't know how to play anything else."

Kazama Shizuka said that the girls were all excellent students and didn't know much about gambling games. Lin Ran didn't want to play any fancy games either. After discussing it, the group decided to play the simplest game, comparing the size of cards.

"Then I'll set the specific rules. Each person will draw three cards, and the values ​​will be added together to compare. Everyone except the person with the highest value will take a sip. There's also a betting system: if someone feels their value isn't too far off from the first place, they can bet the equivalent of a sip of wine before drawing another card."

"A card."

In his past life, Lin Ran and his brothers drank by the cup, but fearing that these girls who had never drunk before wouldn't be able to drink, they counted it as a sip and added some water.

The rules were simple and easy to understand, and none of the girls had any objections. However, Tsukimi Akika then made a suggestion. "What if someone can't drink anymore? If they can't drink anymore, how about we change the punishment?" "Change the punishment? That's a good idea."

Lin Ran nodded in agreement. Kazama Shizuru, standing nearby, seemed to have guessed the punishment Tsukimi Akika might be referring to, her face slightly flushed. "Since no one objects, then the punishment is... take off your clothes!"

Tsukimi Akika excitedly announced, and no one objected to this outrageous proposal; the other three beautiful girls silently acquiesced. However, given their current relationship, they had already been completely honest with each other more than once, so it was certainly not something that would be ruined by a striptease game.

Lin Ran began dealing the cards. In the first round, Orihime Ai had the highest number of cards, while Kazama Toshio looked at her own cards with a conflicted expression. 7, J, K, 31 points.

Orihime Ai's hand is 10, 10, Q, 32 points. She can definitely win if she raises, but the problem is that if Orihime Ai also raises, she might not win and could even lose a couple of drinks.

"I want to raise the bet!"

After thinking about it, I decided to raise the bet. If I didn't dare to raise the bet even when it was close, I would be even less likely to raise it later. If that were the case, I would most likely keep losing.

Orine Ai also chose to raise the bet, but unfortunately, Kazama Tosaka still lost after raising the bet. However, it wasn't a big deal, as it was just a sip of sake. Soon everyone drank their sake and a new round of cards was dealt.

Although the amount of gambling is small, just a sip or two, this way of playing makes drinking happen quickly; each round of cards is equivalent to a round of drinking.

After playing for a while, all the girls' faces were flushed. Qianli Caiyu was the first to give in and, feeling dizzy, began to take off her clothes.

Seeing how drunk they were, Lin Ran stopped Qianli Caiyu from taking off her clothes and sighed, "Don't take them off. How are you going to get back to school if you're like this? You're not drunk yet, let's go back to school."

Although drinking and taking off clothes sounds exciting, having sex with a drunk girl isn't a good experience. Aside from the smell of alcohol, it's really heavy. And what about getting home when all the girls are drunk? He can't take four girls with him, and he doesn't trust anyone else with them.

So I should go back first. Now that I think about it, I was too inconsiderate. I can drink as much as I want in the dorm, and if I get drunk, I can just sleep. It's not as convenient outside.

The girls weren't too drunk yet, and they obediently went home with Lin Ran. A cool night breeze blew as they left the karaoke bar, sobering them up a bit.

Minute.

Lin Ran was about to hail a taxi on the roadside when suddenly the sound of engines came from the roadside, and a series of motorcycles sped towards him, clearly aiming to get him there.

Everyone else around them made way, but Lin Ran stood still.

Several vehicles surrounded Lin Ran, and one by one, delinquent teenagers with dyed hair got off the motorcycles and surrounded the group.

Lin Ran glanced at the number of people; there were about a dozen. He didn't think any of them looked particularly strong, and he wasn't afraid at all if he were alone.

Unfortunately, there were four beautiful young women behind him, and he certainly wouldn't let them take any risks. "What's your name, brother?"

Lin Ran asked the boy who was leading the group a question, but unfortunately the boy seemed not to understand the language of the Dragon Kingdom and immediately tried to fight Lin Ran.

Just as Lin Ran frowned, the atmosphere about to explode, Qianli Caiyu, who was somewhat dazed behind him, suddenly exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the leading boy. "Brother Xuanye? Brother Xuanye, what are you doing? This is my friend!"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, and Qianli Caiyu quickly ran between the two, glaring angrily at the man opposite them. "Little Caiyu-chan, it's been so long! You've grown even more beautiful!"

The man was speaking in the language of cherry blossoms, which Lin Ran couldn't understand, but judging from the scene, she could guess what the two were talking about. It was probably a greeting, and then Chisato Aya seemed a little unhappy.

"Brother Xuanye, what are you doing? Why did you stop us?"

"This isn't what your brother said. He asked me to help teach that kid a lesson. Given my relationship with your brother, I have to help him out, right? Why don't you talk to your brother about it?"

Yu Licaiyu walked back to Lin Ran's side with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. Lin Ran patted her little head and said gently, "What's wrong, little Caiyu-chan?" "Brother Ran, that person is my brother's friend. My brother sent them. He wants to teach you a lesson. This is troublesome. They are very powerful."

"The Metropolitan Police Department doesn't care about their business!"

Lin Ran glanced at the young man across from her, who looked to be around the same age as her. He didn't exude any intimidating aura; he simply surrounded her.

Compared to those street thugs, they definitely seemed more formidable, and those motorcycles with their flashy paint jobs didn't look like cheap, low-quality goods.

Furthermore, given that Senri Aya's family is a military family, it's impossible for Senri Aya and Senri Tomoya to get along with a simple delinquent.

This guy probably has some connections; considering what happened with Chihiro, his family might be affiliated with the Police Department. If he's determined to fight me, things could get really complicated.

Chapter 84 Both Sides Suffer Losses

"Since he knows you, he shouldn't lay a hand on you, right?"

Lin Ran asked Qianli Caiyu, who nodded with a hint of regret. Seeing this, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. If it were a real fight, he actually didn't think he could handle the opponent. Mainly, although the opponent had more people, their fighting strength didn't seem very impressive. Lin Ran's physical abilities were already quite good, and he had even been enhanced once by the system.

Having been in quite a few fights during my school days in my previous life, I still have some confidence despite having an attribute advantage.

"You guys go first, I'll go back after I've finished dealing with them."

Lin Ran said confidently that he wasn't afraid to fight as long as he had no worries. "I'll go with you. I've learned some Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)."

Zhiyin stepped forward and said with a firm gaze, but Lin Ran quickly waved his hand and said, "No, it's not that I don't believe you, but do you weigh 100 pounds? Fighting is different from being on the field. If you've never fought before, don't get involved."

There's a big difference between fighting and competing. In a competition, these people might be amateurs compared to Ai Orine, but there are no rules off the field. In a competition, skill is the most important thing, while in reality, attributes and weapons matter more.

Orihime Ai's physique is what it is, her muscles are not developed, her strength is so-so, and no matter how good she is at fighting, the damage she can do is so-so. Larger opponents have higher attack and defense, and brute force can overcome any skill, not to mention that the opponent has a numerical advantage.

Although Lin Ran wasn't very heavy, he was quite strong and had attributes enhanced by the system.

“But I’m your bodyguard, and I have an obligation to be with you!” Lin Ran handed his phone to Zhiyin Ai.

"Can you please stop bothering me? If you really want to help, just take a picture of me in a fight."

Zhiyin Ai took Lin Ran's phone. The other three girls, like Zhiyin Ai, wanted to stay, but Lin Ran impatiently asked them to go back to school.

Genno Hoshi watched with great interest as Lin Ran drove the girls away. In fact, he didn't take action at the beginning because he had the same concerns as Lin Ran. Senri Tomo was his good friend, and Senri Aya was practically his sister. He didn't want to involve these girls.

Seeing that the girls had all left, Xuan Yexing called out to them. The delinquent boys and girls then pulled out steel pipes from the will-o'-the-wisps. Lin Ran was immediately annoyed. These people had no sportsmanship!

If it were a fight with bare hands, Lin Ran would have a chance to break through and then find a weapon nearby. With his rich fighting experience, he could easily take on ten opponents at once.

As a result, this group of people came up with a Doran's Blade each. Who could withstand that?

Before Lin Ran could come up with a solution, Xuan Yexing waved his hand and a group of people picked up their weapons and started attacking Lin Ran.

Lin Ran reached out and grabbed a swinging steel pipe. This type of steel pipe was hollow and not very lethal, but a strong pain still came the moment it made contact with his body.

Lin Ran was about to forcefully snatch the steel pipe away when the other people's steel pipes came at the same time, and the hands holding the steel pipes were suddenly pushed away.

Seeing that he couldn't get the steel pipe, Lin Ran felt a sense of despair. He had been too confident and careless. He should have tried to avoid this kind of thing from the beginning.

Although this was the entrance to a karaoke bar with a large flow of people, no one dared to intervene. They were all just watching the spectacle, and the whispers and discussions among the crowd showed that no one was willing to help.

Reborn into a life of privileged maturity and a wealthy family, Lin Ran unconsciously developed a somewhat blind arrogance. When faced with trouble, he always felt capable of handling it, even though there were some things that should be avoided no matter how capable one is.

The attacks from all sides left Lin Ran helpless, and he was even knocked to the ground by the wolves. In this situation, Lin Ran could only think of one hope: to be rescued.

"System! System Daddy, save me!"

In novels, protagonists often treat the system as a second parent, but this is the first time Lin Ran has called the system that way, and it is also the first time he has so urgently wanted the system to lend a helping hand.

"Host needs assistance detected. Emergency scenario mission issued now."

Lines of information appeared in Lin Ran's mind, roughly meaning that the system would give Lin Ran a short-term buff to help him get out of trouble, but would also give him a dangerous scenario.

Lin Ran accepted without hesitation. All danger was secondary; all he wanted now was to beat these people to a pulp. "Accept!"

The next moment, Lin Ran, who was lying on the ground being beaten, felt a warm current flowing through his body. The warm current quickly spread throughout his body, and the pain disappeared instantly.

The steel pipes no longer hurt when they hit them, and the boys who were swinging the steel pipes suddenly realized that something was wrong!

The steel pipe struck Lin Ran as if it were hitting a wall rather than flesh and blood, and a recoil force traveled from the steel pipe to everyone's hands.

What's going on? Why did this kid suddenly get hard?

Before the others could react, Lin Ran suddenly stood up, snatched a steel pipe, and revealed a cruel smile. At this moment, the balance of power had shifted!

With the weapon and system buff, Lin Ran moved with impunity. When others fought him, they felt an irresistible force every time the steel pipes collided with him, and their arms went numb from the shock.

Lin Ran was like someone who had activated a Musou skill in a game, with his speed and strength greatly increased. He even swung his steel pipe with the momentum of the Starburst Abandoned Healing Slash, and in a short while, he beat more than a dozen people to the ground.

Lin Ran, who had just been surrounded and attacked by a group of people, naturally showed no mercy. He mercilessly beat up the group, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. Was this some kind of high school protagonist from a light novel? His fighting power was so strong!

Just a moment ago he was being brutally beaten by a group of people, and suddenly he unleashed his power and killed them all. Even light novels don't write things like that, do they?

Many people filmed and posted the videos online. Meanwhile, in the shadows, Orihime Ai was also filming with Lin Ran's phone, recording the entire sequence. From the moment the group pulled out weapons, Orihime Ai understood what Lin Ran meant when he said fighting in the arena was different from fighting in real life—besides the rules, the most...

Being unreasonable is unfair.

As someone who practices kendo, she understands all too well the difference between having a weapon and not having one; a child with a knife can threaten the life of an adult.

She assumed that Lin Ran gave her his phone to film so that she would have evidence to report the crime later, but the fighting power that Lin Ran unleashed afterwards completely surprised her.

Watching Lin Ran wield a steel pipe with such deadly force that it created a blade-like flash—was this even something a human could do? This will shock my mother for a hundred years.

Lin Ran looked at the group of delinquents writhing on the ground, clapping his hands in satisfaction. "Hmph, do you even have the right to compete with someone like me who has a system?"

Then, the next moment, Lin Ran felt the warm current in her body disappear, and a sudden wave of pain and fatigue surged over her. Lin Ran's eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.

Chapter 85 Midnight Spirit?

When Lin Ran woke up again, he was faced with an unfamiliar ceiling. The soreness and weakness in his body made him groan in discomfort. "Brother Ran! You're awake? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

When Qianli Caiyu's voice came, Lin Ran turned his head and found himself lying on a clean white bed. Judging from the environment of the room, it should be a hospital room. Qianli Caiyu was by the bed.

"It's nothing, I just feel weak and my body is a little sore."

Lin Ran comforted Qianli Caiyu and tried to sit up from the hospital bed, but failed. He had no strength and felt quite weak. "Brother Ran, don't move. The doctor said you're a bit overworked and need to rest for a few days."

Qianli Caiyu quickly reached out to help Lin Ran up. Lin Ran obediently lay back on the bed and asked about what happened before he fainted, "Caiyu, did anything happen after I fainted?"

Chisato Aya nodded and said with some worry, "The Genno family is from the Police Department. After you fell unconscious, Genno Hoshi's sister brought people from the police station to control the scene. By the way, Genno Hoshi is the leader of the group you fought with. He and my brother have been good friends since childhood."

Kurono Hoshi's older sister is a full-fledged patrol squad leader in the Warning Department. She calls this a "mutual punishment," saying both sides will be punished. "Mutual punishment? Punishment? Did they say what the punishment would be?"

"It's not clear yet. You need to go to the police station for investigation after your injuries have recovered."

Chizuru Aya said with some worry, "Kenno Hoshi's sister is very protective of her brother. It's said that his family has helped him with many things in the past." Lin Ran nodded, patted Chizuru Aya's head, and comforted her, "I understand. Nothing will happen. It's so late now, you should go and rest."

Take a break.

The hospital clock showed that it was 2 a.m., and it was indeed time to rest. Seeing that Lin Ran was in good condition, Qianli Caiyu did not insist and nodded to go to rest.
