Early in the afternoon, after Ge Liang's fight, everyone was silent. None knew what to do, but all could recognise that this was a legend being born. Many years later, when Ge Liang told his sister that it was him, she was shocked. It had turned into a local folktale, told to children by parents to extol the virtues of courage and bravery. But back to the present. After work, Ge Liang checked his quests.

*Quest Completed! Corruption Of The Cashiers!*

Notes/Grading: S+

Created a local folktale, got admiration from all coworkers, created a legend! Truly an accomplishment. *BONUS QUEST FROM SYSTEM*

Reward: System Tech Level 1 Ballistic Weapon

A pistol, created by Humanity 200 years in the future.

T...T...Tech Level 1? What the hell were the further levels? This gun alone could most probably cause massive damage to whatever he wanted... he needed to keep it safe. Now that a mafia gang was hot on his heels, he was already planning to get some protection. However, this reward took it over the top. He would now not be afraid even to face a military squadron. However, he wanted to test it out.

*Psshhhhhhhh*

*Whirrrrrr*

*System User Identified*

*Safety Unlocked*

Power Modes:

Low

Medium (Locked By System)

High (Locked By System)

Ultra (Locked By System)

Ge Liang chose the low power setting, as it was the only one he had. Even if he had access to the other settings, this was a gun from 200 years in the future, and he would not like to accidentally cause the destruction of the planet. He fired once at a rock. The plasma bolt that was fired hung in the air for a quick second, then hit the rock. It seemed to do nothing. As Ge Liang was cursing the system.... BOOM. The rock exploded into little pieces. The "Grenade" setting seemed to be chosen. After a few hours, Ge Liang had tried all of the functions he had access to. Single Shot, Burst, Automatic and Grenade. He had the time of his life firing and destroying things. What fun! When he got home, he saw that Wei Qian had finished a couple more quests, bringing Ge Liang to 1000 System EXP. However, Ge Liang was excited to see the "Bonus Quest" the system gave him.

*Bonus Quest*

*Reach the rank of Global Elite on CS:GO*

*Description: This game will train your reflexes and strength, and the system wants you to get good at it, so you can carry me one day!*

*Reward: Laser Mode Unlock on Ballistic Weapon Level 1*

Wow... He had always known that this system of his was eccentric and weird, but never in his life had he expected it to shamelessly give him a damn quest to carry them in games! Sometimes he wondered whether he was the system's host or servant... Well, the system would do what the system wanted. He could earn a laser mode! Thinking about how powerful the original modes were, he was almost salivating at the thought of himself spraying his laser like a sword and destroying his enemies.

*6 Hours Later*

Ge Liang was filled with rage. All his teammates did was be trash... they could barely shoot an elephant right next to them! Ge Liang knew what he had to do. Gather a team of five to be his teammates, and succeed.

Oh shit... The author is experiencing a flash-forward!

A Protoxx Classroom - 2377, Earth Standard

"How did Earth's Power Five come to be?"

"We know already... They started as a gaming team!"

"Good, class. One of his race, the humans, will be visiting tomorrow. Be sure to be on your best behaviour."

Where did that flashback come from? Sorry guys, that was really an accident....

Anyways, he went about the process of finding teammates. His co-workers would make good teammates! Also, he could forge great bonds with them that would allow him to become a better and more successful manager! However, he'd do that tomorrow. It was already too late today... he headed home after a long day.

Dorm Of Ge Liang

Qiang Sen broke the awkward silence. "We know you are the supermarket monster. The one rumoured to have beat up gangsters and saved co-workers. Are you still the man we know?"

Ge Liang: .....

Aren't you underestimating me a little? Well.. it was true that his success thus far was because of the system. He reminded himself to never be arrogant, for the system had helped him through a lot.

"Yes, I am still the guy you know. Trust me, I have just been improving my skills."

There was an awkward silence again, as the dorm members had always considered Ge Liang to be one of them, but now their assumptions of reality were threatened...

Ge Liang ached to tell his friends about the system. However, it would simply be impossible. He did not want to arouse suspicion in anyone, but he also did not want to die of the system's poison! Feeling conflicted, he gave a "humph" and went to bed.

"Why is he so angry???"
