Courtyard House: First, kill the hypocrites, leave none alive.

Xiaoyu's existence is a weakness. A fifteen-year-old girl, no matter how well she disguises herself as a boy, staying in a nearly closed environment for extended periods is inherently abnormal. What if one day the landlord or neighbors become suspicious and ask a few more questions, or Xiaoyu simply can't resist wanting to go outside for some fresh air…

He also needed to conceal his own "abnormalities." His skills, vigilance, and the occasional calmness and observational ability that he displayed that were inconsistent with ordinary workers... These might not be obvious in normal times, but in the eyes of those who are observant (such as experienced veteran police officers or seasoned gangsters), they could be suspicious.

Not to mention, his greatest asset and greatest weakness—his weapons and ammunition—is dwindling with time. Twenty-eight pistol bullets—each shot reduces the remaining supply. Without a reliable source of replenishment, these guns will eventually become useless.

Passively hiding is not a long-term solution.

In the darkness, Chen Feng's eyes were sharp as knives.

He needs more trump cards, the ability to break the deadlock, and at the very least, the means to launch a swift counterattack and escape safely with Xiaoyu when a real crisis strikes.

He thought of that mysterious "system".

Avengers Support System.

Since its activation in the desperate situation on the beachhead, the system has provided him with the most urgently needed survival supplies, medicine, money, and identification—a true lifesaver. The ten-cubic-meter personal space and the miraculous body-restoring agent were especially invaluable.

But what happens after that?

Aside from the initial newbie gift pack and basic functions, the system seems to have fallen silent. There are no new prompts, no new tasks, and no more features unlocked. It's like an investor who provided seed funding and then disappeared.

Chen Feng had been busy settling in, recovering from his injury, looking for work, and learning languages, deliberately avoiding delving too deeply into this incomprehensible existence. This was partly due to the imminent pressure of survival, and partly out of an instinctive caution—did this power beyond comprehension conceal unknown costs or purposes?

But now, the situation forces him to re-examine what may be his biggest and most unpredictable trump card.

He closed his eyes and concentrated.

In my mind, that hazy, ten-cubic-meter space reappeared clearly.

The space remained empty, most of it a blank gray. Only in the central area were a few items neatly arranged:

The remaining [Basic Survival Supplies Pack] after the last use mainly consists of clothing, a small amount of compressed biscuits, and canned food. A significant portion has been used, but some remains.

The basic medical kit, which had been almost untouched, still contained most of the penicillin, disinfectant, gauze, and other supplies, and the "Energy Recovery Agent (Basic)" was lying quietly inside.

The remaining four thousand Hong Kong dollars in cash was packed in a brown paper bag.

Two sets of spare ordinary clothes.

Two Type 54 pistols (one under the pillow), a spare full magazine, and twelve loose pistol bullets.

That Type 56 assault rifle that had missed its target.

Xiaoyu's revolver and six bullets (the gun was under her pillow).

Some odds and ends: old tools, dirty clothes, etc.

This is all the possessions currently in the space.

Chen Feng's "gaze" (consciousness) swept over these items, finally settling on the space itself, and on the ever-present "panel" or "status bar" that seemed to be part of the system.

There were a few simple lines of information there, like glowing text etched into the void:

[Host: Chen Feng]

[Status: Healthy (minor scarring), full of energy]

[Current Function: Portable Space (10 cubic meters)]

[Unlockable/Hint Feature: Marching Backpack Module (Requires resources or system points to unlock)]

System Points: 0

[Note: This system is auxiliary, designed to provide limited support to the host in completing specific objectives and subsequent survival challenges. More functions and resources will be unlocked after the host meets specific conditions or acquires system points.]

The information was very concise, even rudimentary.

The key points are the "Marching Backpack Module" and "System Points".

The "Marching Backpack Module" is marked "Requires resources or system points to unlock." This seems to mean that this module offers more features, but requires payment.

My "System Points" are currently zero. How do I get more? The message mentions "meeting specific conditions." What kind of conditions? The system doesn't explain.

Chen Feng tried to use his consciousness to "touch" the prompt of the "Marching Backpack Module".

The next moment, a more detailed (but still limited) stream of information flooded into his consciousness:

[Marching Backpack Module (To be unlocked)]

[Module Description: Integrates individual soldier equipment storage and retrieval functions that align with the historical context and specific mission requirements. Once unlocked, a basic equipment list is available, and users can exchange/replenish equipment by consuming corresponding resources or system points.]

[Unlock Requirements: Requires one of the following methods:]

[1. The host's current global currency: HKD 10000.]

[2. The host's current high-value equivalent in the world: 1000 grams of gold (approximately 32 ounces).]

3. System Points: 100 points.

[Note: System points can be obtained by completing specific tasks issued by the system, achieving hidden achievements, or having a significant impact on the world line/main objective. Specific acquisition conditions and values ​​are dynamically determined based on events.]

Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars! Or one kilogram of gold! Or one hundred system points!

Chen Feng's heart sank.

He currently has less than five thousand Hong Kong dollars in cash. He does have four small gold bars, which are old gold he brought from Beijing. Each bar is about one tael (31.25 grams), and the four bars together weigh only about 125 grams, far from meeting the requirement of one kilogram (1000 grams).

As for system points... zero. Moreover, the acquisition method is vague and unclear: "specific missions," "hidden achievements," and "significantly impacting the world line/main objective"—these descriptions are all too broad and ambiguous. What is a "world line"? And what does "main objective" refer to? A revenge target? Or something else?

Moreover, "dynamic judgment based on events" means that the uncertainty is extremely high.

It seems unlikely that the "Marching Backpack Module" can be unlocked through conventional means in the short term.

But Chen Feng did not give up immediately. His consciousness continued to explore the system interface, trying to find more information or ways to interact with it.

He "asked" (thinking consciously): "How do I acquire system points?"

There was no response. The system interface remained unchanged.

"What is a specific mission?"

Still silent.

"I'm currently being hunted and have a bounty on my head. Can the system provide direct help or advice?"

The system was like a dead object, with only a few lines of glowing text floating silently.

Chen Feng frowned. As it said, this system was indeed "auxiliary," and it seemed quite passive and even "lazy," with no intention of actively issuing tasks or interacting with users.

So, besides this "Marching Backpack Module" that needs to be unlocked, does the system itself have any other undiscovered uses or rules?
