Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 2 The Loving Heart of Parents Across the World

"Prize Draw"

Before his eyes appeared a circle of bronze treasure chests.

Xiao Ying's voice was crisp and pleasant, "Would you like to spend fifty achievement points for a draw?"

Qin Hao asked curiously, "What kind of prizes can one usually draw?"

Xiao Ying: "There's nothing you can't draw that you can think of."

Qin Hao: "Let's draw one then."

Ten bronze treasure chests began to spin rapidly, and after he yelled stop, one bronze treasure chest stopped in front of him.

"Congratulations, host has obtained a bronze treasure chest, would you like to open it right now?"

"Open it."

The bronze treasure chest opened, and a book appeared before him.

"Congratulations, host has obtained Fighting Skill, would you like to study it immediately?"

"Study."

The book transformed into specks of golden light and entered Qin Hao's head, adding some information to his brain.

Seeing he still had fifty achievement points left, Qin Hao said, "Continue the draw."

The bronze compartment began to rotate again, and after he called stop, he directly opened the bronze treasure chest.

"Congratulations, host has obtained a free attribute point."

Qin Hao opened the attribute panel; he now had six free attribute points, all of which he added to strength.

Instantly, he felt a warm current flowing inside his body. It circulated from top to bottom and then disappeared.

He opened his character attribute panel again to take a look:

Name: Qin Hao

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Realm: Mortal

Achievement Points: 0

Strength: 21

Agility: 15

Intelligence: 15

Stamina: 15

Skills: Fighting Skill (Lv0, 0/100, upgradeable with achievement points)

Main Quest: Revenge (unfinished).

Twenty-one points of strength, Qin Hao wondered what level that was.

"Xiao Hao, dinner's ready." At this moment, Shujie's voice came from outside.

Qin Hao quickly closed the system and said, "Okay, Mom."

He walked out of the room. His mother was setting up the dinner table, and his father was getting up from the sofa to sit at the table.

After sitting down, Youguo said to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, there's about a month left until the college entrance exam. How's your revision going?"

Qin Hao hesitated and then replied, "Uhm, the revision's going pretty well."

Hearing his response, Mr. Qin sighed. He was well aware of Qin Hao's grades as his father; it was almost always at the bottom in every mock test.

As a result of each mock test, Qin Hao's parents would receive messages from his class advisor.

At this moment, Mrs. Qin, carrying the food, came over and said irritably, "Don't put so much pressure on the child. Just let him take the exam as he can, doing his best is enough."

Youguo felt quite wronged, "I haven't even said anything yet, right? I was just asking how the child's revision was going."

Li Shujie put down her rice bowl and said, "You don't need to say it, I already know what you're going to say next. Isn't it something like: the college entrance exam is a turning point in a person's life, if you can get into a top university and become elite talent, you'll have a limitless future, but if you don't, then you're just trash?"

After speaking, she felt something was off and glared at Qin Youguo, "The child is all grown up, he has his own thoughts, don't put so much pressure on him."

Qin Youguo gave his wife a glare, "Ever since he was little, you've spoiled him and indulged him too much, that's why our son has turned out this way."

"Qin Youguo, are you pushing all the responsibility onto me now? How come you never managed our son before? Is there something wrong with spoiling my own son?" Li Shujie glared back at him, visibly upset.

Qin Hao quickly intervened, "Mom, Dad, please don't argue. I definitely won't disappoint you."

If this had been before, he surely wouldn't have dared to say this, but now that he had the God Creation System, he was full of confidence in himself.

Seeing her son speak up, Li Shujie hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I won't argue with your father anymore. Come, son, have some fish head to nourish your brain. I bought it on my way home from work, freshly slaughtered."

When Qin Hao saw his mother place the fish head in his bowl, his nose tingled, and he struggled to hold back his tears.

Which parents don't want their children to succeed?

His parents were the same, but he had let them down time and again, slowly eroding their hopes for him to succeed.

He could imagine his parents' repeated sighs and disappointments at night and, eventually, their loss of hope. Yet they still loved him as before, their affection never waning.

Suddenly, he felt very unfilial and unreasonable.

My parents raised me from childhood, gave me the best food and clothes. Why haven't I ever done something to make them proud?

…

Li Shujie saw her son with his head down, about to speak, when she noticed a few tears fall.

She asked anxiously, "Son, what's wrong? Did Mom and Dad do something wrong? Why are you crying?"

Qin Hao lifted his head and hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm fine, I just realized I was too willful before. I'll study hard and definitely get into a top university."

Li Shujie looked at her son, feeling that he had suddenly matured a lot, her face showing a relieved smile, "Do your best, no matter what, Mom will support you."

Qin Youguo also said, "Dad will support you too. Even if we don't end up with good results, don't be disheartened because results don't represent everything."

"Okay, Mom, Dad, let's eat," Qin Hao said with a smile on his face, secretly resolving to get into a top university and make his parents happy.

"Congratulations host, you have achieved a hidden achievement: As a son, filial piety comes first; you've earned a thousand achievement points."

Qin Hao, hearing Xiao Ying's voice, was momentarily startled. Could that also earn achievement points?

At dinner, he discovered something else; he could now see an option to check his parents' attributes next to his father and mother.

He clicked on it, and his father's character attribute panel appeared:

Name: Qin Youguo

Gender: Male

Age: 45

Strength: 7

Agility: 4

Intelligence: 7

Constitution: 5

Health condition: Suffers from early-stage cervical spondylosis, arthritis, poor sleep, recently under great mental stress.

Could it really reveal someone's health condition? And what's this about father being under great mental stress?

Qin Hao glanced at his father, seeing no sign of the mental stress he was supposedly under. His father must be hiding it, not wanting him and his mother to know.

After dinner, Qin Hao went back to his room. First, he reviewed the homework assigned by his teacher. Normally, it took him over two hours to review, but today he finished it all in just about fifteen minutes.

And the effect was much better than before. Normally, even after two hours of reviewing, he couldn't remember much.

But today, he had memorized all the reviewed homework, able to recite it verbatim.

Could this be because of the system? Qin Hao quickly summoned the system and asked.

Xiao Ying explained, "Today, host's body underwent a basic transformation, and all attributes have been enhanced. The increase in strength attribute represents the growth of your physical strength, and the increase in intelligence represents an enhancement in your perceptiveness, understanding ability, and logical thinking ability, among others."
