Chapter 1 To catch the thief, first catch the king
"You're ruining my chance to participate in 'The Masked New Voice,' and now you can't even go to school! Get him!"
Chen Fan's vision went black, and in his dizziness, he heard just that one sentence.
Then a jumble of footsteps came rushing towards him.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a pain all over his body, and a fire ignited in Chen Fan's heart.
Who is so unreasonable, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement?
[The level of frustration has been reached. The God of Song's Comeback System is binding you, please wait...]
Binding successful!
Please complete the binding task: Sing "A Person Like Me" within 72 hours and receive 500 emotion points!
Mission success reward: You will receive a mysterious reward from the system!
Penalty for mission failure: Loss of voice for 72 hours!
Chen Fan was taken aback.
No, you make your rewards all mysterious, but you explain your punishments very clearly!
Before he could even complain, a memory that wasn't his own appeared in his mind.
The original owner was also named Chen Fan, a fat man who was 180 cm tall and weighed 380 kg.
I grew up relying on my grandmother. After she passed away, in order to pay off debts, my irregular sleep schedule caused my weight to exceed 300 and approach 400 pounds.
His personality also became like a ball of cotton due to long-term inferiority complex, and he was subject to being beaten and scolded by others.
Tian Mingze, relying on his wealth and power, bullied the original owner quite a bit, and had already stolen six of the original owner's songs before this.
Chen Fan laughed after reading it: So I've transmigrated into the body of a good-for-nothing, a fat guy, and an orphan whose song was stolen.
While the six or seven burly men opposite him were catching their breath, Chen Fan glanced up.
Tian Mingze stood there, arms crossed, watching the spectacle with a smug look on his face. "Tell me! Are you going to give me the song or not?!"
Chen Fan sneered inwardly, tapped his phone to start recording, and then asked the system.
"Hey, this is a group fight! Aren't you going to protect your host?"
May you have good fortune.
The school bully, Tian Mingze, kept staring at Chen Fan. Seeing that the fat guy could still laugh, he immediately felt that the kid was provoking him, and his tone became increasingly unfriendly.
"What are you all doing? Give it your all! I'll make this kid laugh!"
"Oh......"
Chen Fan deliberately said, "Hey Tian, I'm recording this!"
Tian Mingze was used to being domineering and arrogant at school, and this was the first time he had been humiliated to his face. It was Chen Fan, the good-for-nothing who had always been suppressed by him!
As soon as he finished speaking, the men who were hitting him stopped and retreated to Tian Mingze's side. "Brother Tian, this kid recorded it!"
"What are you afraid of! Money can't solve anything! Beat him! Beat him until he behaves!"
Enraged, Tian Mingze practically jumped up and yelled at the group.
"Want it?" Chen Fan deliberately pulled out his phone, showing Tian Mingze the recording interface. "Come on, take it! Just like you took my sheet music!"
Having been provoked repeatedly, Tian Mingze lost his temper and immediately pushed aside the people blocking his way, walking at the front.
"Fine! Fine, fine! You, Chen Fan! Today I'll show you what happens when you mess with me!"
"What will happen next?" Chen Fan asked sarcastically, feigning exaggeration. "Ah! I'm so scared!"
Enraged, Tian Mingze could barely think straight; only one thought occupied his mind: Today, he was determined to teach Chen Fan, that fat bastard, a lesson!
After a moment's hesitation, the others followed behind him, and the group of seven or eight walked out with an imposing air.
Chen Fan silently curled the corners of his mouth. The instant Tian Mingze swung his fist toward his face, Chen Fan stretched out his massive arm, hooked Tian Mingze, and slammed him to the ground.
With his weight of nearly 400 pounds, let alone one Tian Mingze, even three Tian Mingzes would be crushed by him!
Chen Fan had only one thing on his mind at that moment: Damn it, to catch the thief, you have to catch the king first! Anyway, not many people know me, but quite a few know Tian Mingze!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Let's see who makes a fool of themselves!
"Ugh—ah!" Tian Mingze was clearly aiming at Chen Fan, but in the blink of an eye, he was crushed by a mountain!
It's down!
It felt like there was a jack around my neck, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break free. I was suffocating.
Tian Mingze struggled desperately to break free from Chen Fan's "embrace".
Chen Fan whispered devilishly in his ear, "Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Why are you running away now?"
"Chen Fan, you!"
Soon, Tian Mingze discovered that he was not only lacking oxygen, but his whole body felt like it was being attacked by sandbags.
The stomach, armpits, back of the neck, and inner thighs are particularly vulnerable areas.
At first, he shouted a few times, but later he found that the more he shouted, the less air he could take in and the more air he could exhale.
Oh my god, the oxygen deficiency is getting worse!
"Help... Pfft—!"
After fighting for a while, the henchmen realized something was wrong. "Where's Brother Tian? Wasn't he just at the front?"
Chen Fan, sitting on Tian Mingze and throwing punches: huff huff!
Every extra punch you land is a bonus!
"Damn it! You fat bastard, how dare you mess with Brother Tian!"
The underlings finally realized what was happening and swarmed forward.
A hail of fists rained down, but Chen Fan just wouldn't get up.
If you hit me once, I'll hit Tian Mingze three times in return.
Let's see who can take the beating more, me or Tian Mingze!
Before long, the underlings realized something was wrong.
"Stop, stop, stop!" The person who had spoken earlier finally spoke up. "What do you want in return for letting our Brother Tian go?!"
Chen Fan didn't even lift an eyelid. "I've had enough. Of course, I'll let him go!"
I almost cried when I heard that.
If you're not a brother, with your size, by the time you've beaten enough people into mincemeat, they'll still be in trouble.
"That's enough! All you've got to do is talk. By the time you've had your fill of beating people up, they'll be gone!"
"That's right!"
"If you don't stop, we're calling the police!"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He stared at the bruised and swollen pig's face and gave the man a look that said, "That's great. You guys started it. I have a recording. This was self-defense."
The underlings: ...Why are you giving him this advice!
In the end, it was that younger brother who directed the other five with his eyes: some grabbed arms, some lifted legs, and some pulled people.
"superior!"
At a command, the group worked together and finally rescued Tian Mingze from under Chen Fan's buttocks.
Then they carried the unconscious person and ran away without looking back.
terrible!
Chen Fan, that fat guy, is terrifying!
They're fearless in a fight!
As soon as everyone left, Chen Fan collapsed on the ground, grimacing.
Damn it, a bunch of bastards, ugh!
After a short break, the host's voice came over the campus loudspeaker:
That concludes today's appreciation of beautiful writing. Welcome to the 'Masked Voice' Zhonghai District auditions at our school! We wish all contestants the best of luck! Goodbye!
The broadcast ended, but Chen Fan perked up.
Did the school bully who was knocked unconscious by his butt just now participate in this "Masked New Voice" competition?
After playing dead for a long time, the system finally came to make its presence known.
[Host's insight is exceptional! Tian Mingze did indeed steal the host's original sheet music in order to participate in the program!]
Chen Fan was not impressed with the system's belated but belated advice. He coldly replied, "Don't get involved," and then got up to play on his phone and went back to his dormitory.
If someone like Tian Mingze can participate in the competition, then so can I.
Chen Fan opened the official website for the campus singer competition registration, filled in his personal information, gave himself the code name "Ordinary Person, Extraordinary", and clicked submit in one go.
The phone immediately received a text message:
