I'm Just a College Student, So How Did I Become a Pillar of the Nation?

Other people's Systems give them money and top-tier gear, but Su Hang's System is a bloodsucker. The moment his account balance hits zero, it will castrate its Host!

Only three days remain before the punishment, and he's a penniless orphan attending a vocational college.

To stay alive, Su Hang goes completely off the rails.

He draws up nuclear fusion schematics to win a school scholarship? They think he's crazy and expel him.

He goes to work under the table at a deepwater port? He casually steals a plasma cutter and nearly slices the sea in half.

When the country discovers the manuscripts he left behind, it is utterly shaken. It sends a hundred thousand soldiers and police officers to search the entire city, convinced he has been kidnapped by foreign spies...

Meanwhile, he's holed up in a leaky, ramshackle ship-repair yard, swearing at the System interface: "You want to deduct ten grand from me for a set of deep-sea submersible schematics? Do you think money grows on trees?"

When the national security officials and theater commander finally find him, Su Hang eyes them warily. "Let's get this straight: I can help with research, but do you provide food and lodging? You have to pay me cash by the day. I won't accept honorary titles!"

The bigwigs are moved to tears. What a fine patriot! Even his demands are so modest and down-to-earth!
