Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

“Which ignorant f*cker would dare tap my shoulder like that? Can’t you see I’m busy here?!”

Wenfeng turned his head around, opening his mouth to drawl arrogantly.

*POM!*

The beer bottle in the man’s hand collided with Wenfeng’s head.

“Argh! Ouch!”

The beer bottle shattered. Blood started to gush out from Wenfeng’s head. He cried in agony. Stars were circling on the top of his head. The open wound and alcohol took a toll. He basically convulsed from the extreme pain.

“Master!”

The bodyguard quickly turned from Chen and rushed over to Wenfeng to protect him.

“Who are you? Why did you smash me with a beer bottle…?” Wenfeng was really confused.

He did not even know this red-haired man. This guy attacked him without any reason. What a shitty day!

“Who am I?”

The guy with red hair said arrogantly, “The streets around this area belong to me, Fire “Grim-Reaper’, the boss. How dare you attack my benefactor in my territory. You don’t even know who am I! It seems like you have a death wish today.”

“Benefactor?”

Wenfeng and his bodyguard were shocked, and they looked at Chen with their eyes and mouths hanging.

“Hi little Flamy!” Chen smiled.

“Good day, Master Chen. I was just thinking of looking for you to show my utmost gratitude.

The Flaming Grim-Reaper boss ran to Chen with a big smile on his face and said, “My wife came back to me earlier, and she also forgave me! It’s all thanks to you! From today onwards, you are my great benefactor!”

Chen put up a look of dawning realization and said, “This is good karma. I helped you before, this is why you are helping me right now.”

“Right! Right! Right! You are right, master!” The boss nodded his head. By then, he had full trust in Chen, to the extent that even if Chen said his fart smell good, he would agree wholeheartedly. Witnessing all this, Wenfeng felt like he was being trampled by a thousand horses; he wanted to beat Chen up, but there was nothing that he can do. He had been looking forward to beating the man up. Things had taken a whole 180-degree turn now. He never expected that Chen would lure him here.

“Master, let’s leave this place… There are dozens of gangsters staring at us. You are more precious than they are. If we don’t back off, there will certainly be more blood spilled.” The bodyguard said softly to Wenfeng.

“This…” Wenfeng was extremely unsatisfied, but he had no courage to risk his own life.

“Let’s go!” Wenfeng said unwillingly.

“Leave? It seems like you’re forgetting something.” Chen said.

“You… What do you want?” Fear started to invade Wenfeng’s body. He could sense that something really bad was going to happen to him.

“Just now, I made a promise to myself that I must slap you today!” Chen proclaimed with a straight face.

“You’re going too far!” Wenfeng said, furiously.

After all, he was still the eldest son of Wen Family. He could barely accept the fact that Wen Tianyuan had slapped him, and he was furious about it. There was no way that he would let Chen slap him on the other side of his face.

“Me, going too far?”

Chen said condescendingly, “If Flaming Grim-Reaper had not been present, you will most likely be beating me to death already by now. Who’s going too far, now?”

“This…” Wenfeng had no comeback.

Then, he shouted angrily, “I’m the eldest son of Wen Family! I will not allow you to slap me! Never!”

*Clap!*

*Clap!*

The boss clapped his hands lightly and people started to appear from different corners. There were around forty to fifty people. Also, every one of them were holding knives and steel pipes. It was the feeling of being surrounded by wolfs and tigers. It was like a classic mafia movie. Within a few seconds, the whole place was filled with gangsters.

“Shit…”

Wenfeng was completely petrified.

A scene like this, sent fear rushing to his heart. He was too afraid to even take another deep breath. There was nothing the bodyguard could do. He was well-trained, and could fight multiple opponents, but now there was a gang of gangsters with weapons in their hands, surrounding them. Even if he had ten lives, he would definitely burn through them.

“The two of you better listen to what Master Chen just said! Bear the consequences, if you choose not to listen to him.” The boss gave them an ice-cold stare and threatened them.

He looked like a good kitty in front of Chen but when facing others, he spoke like a terrifying tiger.

“Come here!” Chen lifted up his hand and curled his finger – a come hither gesture.

“Just go, master… If not, we will die miserably…” The bodyguard was terrified. He couldn’t protect himself from this, let alone Chen. Instead, he asked Wenfeng to do as he said.

“…”

Wenfeng’s facial reaction was twisted. He felt oppressed. Looking at the scenario, he got no other choice but to obey.

*PIAK!*

Chen did not even say a word, he lifted up his arm and slapped Wenfeng as hard as he could.

“Ouch!”

Wenfeng groaned agonizingly as his ass landed on the ground. A red palm print started to appear on his face, along with his forehead that was still bleeding. He looked like complete shit.

“Your face is really thick! My hand actually hurts!” Chen shook his hand, staring disapprovingly.

Tears were rolling down on Wenfeng’s face. “My face is swollen right now. Of course, your hand is hurting! How much hatred is there? How deep is your grudge? Is it even necessary for you to hit me this hard?” Deep inside Wenfeng’s heart, he cursed his grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather, great-grandmother and all his family members for a hundred times!

However, he dared not show it in his face. He was afraid that Chen was going to slap him again.

“Fine! Both of you, get the f*ck out from here!” Chen said calmly.

Wenfeng and his bodyguard acted like they just received a pardon from death penalty. They left the scene as swiftly as possible. After that, Chen marked down the boss’ cellphone number and left the west side of the city. The first thing that he did when he got the cab was to contact brother Zhu. He figured out that Brother Zhu must be very free, because he replied him instantly.

After Chen had handed a Charm of Marriage over to him, Brother Zhu had been treating him like a good friend. Chen could even skip all the formalities now.

Chen: Recently, I accepted one guy as my apprentice. I want to ask if there’s a way for him to increase his true strength in the shortest time possible?

Brother Zhu: Training is a long process. If you want to improve your true strength in the shortest time possible, you have to acquire the Golden Pill from Lord Lao Zi.

Chen: Where can I get it?

Brother Zhu: If I’m not mistaken, you need one hundred thousand points of Triple Realms Merit Points to exchange one primary level Golden Pill.

Chen: What the f*ck?

Chen’s hand shook and he almost dropped the phone.

If I get one point by saving one person, that would mean, that I’d have to save one hundred thousand people to get one hundred thousand points! This has got to be a joke.

Chen: Are there any other ways to get it? Actually, my requirements are not that high. All I want is he won’t get bullied by other humans.

Brother Zhu: So, just some above average mortal strength? That’s easy! Just borrow the “strength” from Yanwang, A.K.A, the King of Hell.

Chen: Erm, I’m not that close with Yanwang. I’m not sure if he’s willing to lend me the “strength.

Brother Zhu: Logically speaking, he won’t give it to you for free! However, he’s actually a food hunter. If you are willing to offer him some really good food, it shouldn’t be a problem at all!

Food hunter? Chen was stunned. He cannot comprehend that the King of Hell that commanded an army of devils was a food lover. Chen calmed himself down and found the profile picture of Yanwang.

Ding!

[Friend request sent to Yanwang.]

Translator footnote

The cellphone vibrated after a few minutes.

Ding!

[Yanwang approved your friend request]

Chen had his eyes frozen on the cellphone’s screen. His face was a petrified mask. There was a saying; if the King of Hell fixes the time of your death, no one would dare to mess with the time. It would be a bad idea for Chen to ignore the King of Hell.

Chen: Good day, Yanwang.

Yanwang: What’s up?

Chen: So, I was told by Zhu Bajie that I can borrow some “true strength” from you to increase the true potential of mortal beings.

Yanwang: If Zhu Bajie told you about this, you should know the rules. Right? (Three smirking emojis)

Chen thought, “I don’t believe that The King of Hell will use emojis. That’s too damn adorable!”

Chen: Yes, I know about the rules. I’m willing to offer some really good food in return. So, the question is, what would you like to eat?

Yanwang: I don’t really care about the taste. The most important thing is that I want something new. I’m sick of all the ordinary food. (Three arrogant emojis)

Yanwang: Alright. Please allow me to think for a while.

Yanwang: I’m going to attend a meeting at the eighteenth level of hell. You have five minutes to think about it. (Three clock emojis)

“Erm….”

Chen froze, he was getting more and more nervous.

It was eleven at night. He was sitting in the cab and tried to look for food stalls while the driver was driving around. Unfortunately, all the food stalls were closed. There was no way to look for any unique food for Yanwang in five minutes.

“Eh?”

Just when Chen felt like an ant in a hotpot, he noticed a packet of half eaten spicy sticks inside the cab driver’s pocket. He couldn’t care less due to time restriction. That would have to do.

Chen did not want to miss this opportunity. So, he asked the cab driver, “Sir, do you mind selling your half eaten spicy sticks?”

“Huh?”

The driver was shocked. He smiled and replied him casually, “Uh, it’s already half-eaten. Well, if you don’t mind, you can have it for free.”

He handed his half-eaten spicy sticks over to Chen.

“Thank you so much!”

After Chen received the spicy sticks, he started to figure out a way to deliver the food to Yanwang.

He clicked on “Send Red Envelops” and he saw an “Accept” button. A beam of light shot out from the front camera when he clicked on it.

*Fushhhh!*

The packet half-eaten spicy stick was wrapped inside a Red Envelope and was sent off to who knows where.

Ding!

[You just sent a Red Envelope to Yanwang.]

“What the hell! It’s so easy sending a solid object! It’s like magic!”

Chen was really impressed by it. He felt instant regret after realizing that he had just sent out a Red Envelope because it contained a packet of half-eaten spicy sticks. And it was headed to the King of Hell. It was a mockery. And insult. If Chen angers him and he decides to draws a red circle on his Book of Life, Chen will definitely die at a young age. The clock was ticking.

Chen started to get really nervous, “Pusha, please bless me! I pray that Yawang will not get angry at me even if it doesn’t suit his tastes! I will be a piece of dead meat if he gets angry at me.”

Ding!

The cellphone rang. Chen jumped. Dread feeling his body, he tentatively checked the message. Chen was stunned.

Yanwang: THIS IS TOO DAMN DELICIOUS! (Three drooling emojis)

Yanwang: My friend! Do you still have more? Can I have more please? I’m not satisfied!

Yangwang: My friend… My friend… Are you there? Please reply me as soon as possible when you see my message.

Looking at the message that popped up on his cellphone’s screen, Chen started to question how the way the world worked. The King of Hell was getting crazy over some simple spicy sticks. This totally turned Chen’s traditional viewpoint towards the King of Hell upside down. Was this even real?

Chen calmed himself down.

Chen: The delicacy that you just ate is called spicy sticks. They are extremely rare! I don’t have more with me right now. If I acquire more in the future, I will definitely send them over.

Chen was not dumb. The King of Hell appreciated spicy sticks so much. He was going to make them appear as rare just as they were as precious to him. Yanwang will definitely be more appreciative. He would view this as a huge favor. It would be easier to ask for more favors from him in the future. This was known as the “starve-you-to-make-wish-come-true” strategy.

Yanwang: Too bad. Rare delicacies always come in small amounts… (Three disappointed emoji)

Yanwang: From this moment onward, you are my good friend now!

Ding!

[You have received a Red Envelope from Yanwang. It contains a High-Grade Netherspirit Battlescouter. It had been deposited inside your treasure chest.]

Chen was delighted at having received an item from The King of Hell. The name of the item was so cool. The point was, Chen acquired it by giving a packet of half-eaten spicy sticks to the King of Hell. This was too good to be true.

Yanwang: I’m going to attend another meeting right now. We will talk more, next time. Please remember to think of me first when you acquire more spicy sticks! (Three faces with drooling emojis)

Chen couldn’t wait to open the treasure chest.

[High-Grade Netherspirit Battlescouter; handmade by Yanwang. It has more features as compared to the low-grade version! Do you wish to use it?]

“I can’t believe there are different grades for this item. It seemed like Yanwang really sees me as a good friend.” Chen smiled.

“Use it!”

Chen clicked on the item. A ray of ghastly blue light shot out from the treasure chest into Chen’s left eye. Everything around him turned supernaturally blue. There were countless of ancient words from hell circling inside Chen’s eye. It was like a million-year-old flowing river that contained a mysterious and unknown force. Eventually, all the ancient words formed a circle. It looked like an ancient magic circle. It buried itself deep inside Chen’s left eye.

Ten plus minutes had passed when Chen regained his consciousness.

“Boy, you have arrived at the Green Vine University. Why do you look so stoned? Boy…” The cab driver was calling him numerous times.

“Erm… How much?”

Chen rubbed on his stoned face. He felt like he had just experienced astral projection for the past ten minutes. Finally, he responded to his surroundings.

“It will be a total of eighteen Yuan.” The cab driver said.

“Alright. You can keep the change… Eh?” Chen took out twenty Yuan and handed it to him He was stunned when he lifted up his head and looked at the cab driver.

Ding!

Cultivation: N/A

Health: 5

Combat power: 5

A line of blue words, along with a blue arrow was pointing at the cab driver in the view of Chen’s left eye.

“This must be one of the features of the High-Grade Netherspirit Battlescouter! So, this cab driver is just a useless piece of crap with five combat power. Hahaha!” Chen was getting really excited.

“How about my combat power?”

Ding!

Cultivation: N/A

Health: 1

Combat power: 4

“What the f*ck! That really sucks! I’m weaker than a cab driver…” Chen’s face turned red. He was so ashamed of himself. He was more determined than before. It was a priority for him to improve his true strength!

After Chen paid, he walked towards the school gate. He noticed a gang of mean looking guys surrounding a lady at the corner. Chen might not have cared if it was some Jane Doe. However, the situation changed when Chen recognized the lady. She was Chen’s class counselor. The fourth most gorgeous lady in Green Vine University; Lin Xiang.

Translator’s footnote

Chen came from a village, and his family’s financial situation was not in a good shape. Before all of this, Chen had always skipped class to work at a part time job to buy an iPhone for Yao Bingbing. Sometimes, he would simply eat a bun instead of having a proper meal. As a class counselor, Lin Xiang had been very concerned for Chen. They had met at the school cafeteria twice, and she had offered to buy Chen a proper meal. It may not be much, but for Chen, that was a very warm-hearted and timely assistance! Chen was determined to rescue her from this tough situation.

“Chica! Your brother owes us some money, and today is the due date! Pay up, or you’re coming with us!” A burly man was yelling at her.

There were three more followers behind him. All of them were looking at Lin lustfully. Their eyes were running up and down her curvaceous body.

Lin Xiang was twenty-four years old. She was one of the researchers of Green Vine University. Due to her excellent results, she was offered a tutoring job at Green Vine University. That was how she became Chen’s class counselor. Compared to other university girls, Lin Xiang had a sense of grace and maturity. She was five foot five, athletic, long legs. Also, her derriere was breathtakingly voluptuous. Her breasts were well-developed and sumptuous, almost perfectly shaped. From the side, they looked like two great, marvelous mountains. Moreover, they boasted the impressive E cup size! Other than her curvaceous figure, her facial features were beyond perfect. Her skin was as fair as the first snow of winter. She also had a waist-length and silky midnight black hair. In addition to that, she had an unusually attractive oval face, with Miss Universe-like impeccable features. It was impossible to spot a flaw on her face. She was every man’s dream girl. It was perfectly normal for a man to fantasize about her.

“Boss! I’m begging you right now! Please give me a few days to come up with the money that he owes you.”

Lin Xiang’s eyebrows were furrowed. Chen could not help but be entranced by her sorrowful look. He had an urge to hug her in his warm embrace and caress her.

“Cut the bullshit! My boss, Crazy Bill gave you a death penalty if you fail to return our money today. We will sell you to the Bewitching Brothel!”

“I did the calculations. You will receive three hundred Yuan for every “transaction” that you make. You will have to complete a thousand “transactions” to return the three hundred thousand Yuan that your brother owes Crazy Bill! Don’t you worry, I will make sure to ask few of my brothers “support” you!” the guy with the black face laughed sleazily.

“Hehehe… Just come with us, Chica.”

Three of his followers gave out their own sleazy laughs as they stretched out their hands to grab hold Lin.

“Don’t you dare touch me! I’m going to scream!”

Lin came from a rather poor family. She had always been oppressed throughout her life. Also, she was known for being soft-spoken and kind. Faced with a situation like this, tears started to flow down her eyes.

“Oh, please scream. Scream your throat raw! Nobody will come and rescue you! The louder, the better. Hehehe…”

The four of them were laughing lustfully. They even had the urge to push her on the ground take her on the spot. At that moment, Chen showed up like a hero and gave the four of them a gaze of death.

“Where did this weak shit come from? Do you have a death wish? Mind your own business!”

The guy with a black face stepped forward. Three of his followers stepped in right after him. They puffed their chests up and approached Chen.

“Chen! Run away! Just leave me…” Lin got really nervous.

Although Lin really needed someone to rescue her right now, in her eyes, Chen was just an ordinary student who actually almost failed his fitness test. How would it be possible for him to fight off four gangsters? She certainly did not want Chen to get hurt. Her kindness was really beyond amazing.

“Don’t be afraid Ms. Lin. I will not let them hurt you.”

Chen’s eyes blinked and four tags started to show up above their heads.

Combat power: 7

Combat power: 8

Combat power: 9

Combat power: 10

Obviously, he was nowhere close being their match. However, Chen was unafraid, having figured out the other functions of the Netherspirit Battlescouter.

“I wish to borrow the power of Xiangyu, The King.” Chen said softly. Instantly, the Netherspirit Battlescouter spun like a giant wheel, and countless ancient characters released some mysterious divine strength. The power linked Yin and Yang together. It was like the heaven and earth had a radical change. The power of Xiangyu, The King was being channeled into Chen’s body.

Ding!

Combat power: 5000

“Oh my God! This is the true strength of Xiangyu! The power that would allow me to fight against one thousand enemies!” Chen trembled in excitement. He felt like a powerful king. No mortal being would be able to fight against him. His body was fired up. In his vein danced the blood of heroes. This was the true man! The true hero! Chen had never felt like this before. From today onwards, his soul will thirst for more power, and he would fight for it.

“Little shit! Did you hear me? I’m going to count to three. You better get lost before we beat you up real bad!” The guy with the black face yelled at him and rubbed his fists. He stepped in, fist raised.

Among the four gangsters, he was the strongest one of them all, with a combat power of ten. However, in Chen’s eyes, he was just as weak as an ant. No, he was like a speck of dust.

“I want the four of you to kneel in front of Ms. Lin and beg for forgiveness!” Chen said calmly.

“Asshole, do you have a screw loose somewhere? Or are you just really stupid?! Since you have a death wish, I grant it to you!”

The guy with the black face lost his patience. He rushed to Chen like a bull, sending a fist flying at his face.

“So slow…”

Chen did not even try to dodge the punch. In Chen’s eyes, he was like a lagging in-game character.

“Chen! Run!….”

Lin was certain Chen was going to lose all his teeth. She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for it;

“Ouch! It hurts!”

The guy with black face was shouting in agony. When Lin opened her eyes, she saw the black faced man’s fist being crushed in Chen’s grip. He was screaming in pain. His face was twisted, and his forehead drenched in sweat.

“Do you want to kneel now?” Chen said calmly, a powerful dominating aura coming out from him.

“F*ck you! I have never kneeled in front of anyone, since the day I became a gangster, for the last ten years!” The black face guy gnashed his teeth in anger and said.

“Very well. I respect you for that. You’re a true man.” Chen’s stare turned ice-cold and lifted up his hand to slap him.

*PIAK!*

It was like an explosion. The man flew sixteen feet away.

*Blargggh!*

A mouthful of fresh blood came out from the mouth of black face guy. He lay motionless.

“How about you guys? Are you going to kneel and beg for forgiveness or do you want to become “true men”, like your boss?” Chen gave them a gaze of death.

Erm…

The three of them were paralyzed in fear. Their boss weighed over one hundred and seventy-six pounds. He had been slapped senseless, literally. The slap also brought out a mouthful of blood. It wasn’t a laughing matter. Also, they were sure that he had spat some teeth out. How would they fight such a monster?

*POM!*

*POM!*

*POM!*

Their legs went soft and they kneeled on the ground. They looked at Lin and started to beg, “Madam Lin! We know we did the wrong thing! It’s totally our fault! Please forgive us!”

Lin was stunned. It was like a dream to her. She couldn’t believe what just happened in front of her.

After some time, she was still trembling. “You guys can leave now…” She said.

Her voice sounded like the voice of an angel. The three men hurried over and lifted the body of their fallen superior. He was still coughing blood. They left the scene as swiftly as rabbits.

“Fuhhhh…..”

Chen took a long breath, and the power of Xiangyu left his body. Fatigue started to show up on his face, and his right hand turned red and swollen. The pain started to crawl in between his bones.

“As expected, the strength from Xiangyu was really powerful, but my body is still too weak to handle the overwhelming power. I hurt myself more than I expected by handing out a single punch. This cannot go on for long. I must find a way to train myself stronger.” Chen told himself secretly.

Ding!

[You received one point of Triple Realms Merit for saving a lady.]

Ding!

[Three points of Triple Realms Merits have been deducted from you. Now your points are -1. Level: Bad guy.]

“What the f*ck?! How is it possible that my point is -1 right now?” Chen was really confused.

When Chen was trying figure out the function of Netherspirit Battlescouter just now, he realized that all the famous people inside the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms were no longer alive. They were all ghosts from hell.

Two choices would be given to a person when he/she died. The first option was, he/she could choose to drink the Soup of Mengpo and crossed the bridge of life to go through the process of reincarnation. The second option was, the person could choose to stay at hell and begin training as a ghost. When he/she accumulated a certain amount of Triple Realms Merit Point, he/she would become a deity and ascend to heaven. It was extremely difficult for a ghost to earn Triple Realms Merit Point. Most of the people would choose to go through the process of reincarnation. Only few would choose to stay and train in hell. Xiangyu, the King was one of them.

“The three points that were taken from me must have been transferred to Xiangyu. Such is the price of borrowing strength from a ghost.” Chen concluded. It was only reasonable to pay for such power.

Chen was more bothered about the ‘-1’ point now. He had been officially categorized as a bad guy. This is going to be a problem.

“Chen… Are you alright? Lin walked towards Chen and asked.

“Oh… Nothing…” Chen scratched his nose tip and said.

There was no way that he would tell his deepest secrets to others.

“You don’t look good. Are you sick?” Lin Xiang was a really attentive woman. She quickly noticed Chen’s change. She walked towards Chen. She lifted up her fair hand and placed it softly on Chen’s forehead.

Her graceful, fair hand felt cold. Her movements were slow and gentle. It was like rain drops had landed on Chen’s face. It moistened up Chen’s heart.

Looking at the masterpiece in front of him and smelling the subtle lily-like fragrance that came from Lin’s body made Chen’s mind jump around like a wild horse.

“There’s no fever, but you still don’t look good to me. Do you want me to bring you to the hospital?” Lin retrieved her hand and said in a concerned tone.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. All I need is a good nights sleep to be fully recovered.” Chen smiled.

There were two more bottles of Fluid of Hundred Herbs inside Chen’s treasure chest. All he needed to do was consume a drop from it to solve all his physical problems. It was not necessary to go to hospital at all.

“Hold up! Chen…can you come home with me?” Lin said suddenly. Her voice was soft, like a whisper in the wind. Also, she appeared to be blushing a little as she asked Chen that.

Come? Home? Chen cannot believe what he just heard. His jaw dropped to the ground.

“What…..Ms Lin, you are, gorgeous. I totally wouldn’t mind walking you home. But….is it ok for us to move to second base at such a fast pace?”

“What do you mean by second base?”

When Lin figured out what Chen was saying, her ear lobes turned red. “Please don’t think of such nonsense! I’m just worried that the bad guys might be waiting for me at my place. I’ll be more relieved to have you with me.”

“Erm….”

Chen was very disappointed. He thought he could have had some “fun” with Lin tonight. Then again, there was a high possibility that the black faced guy who he just defeated will come seeking for vengeance. It will be bad if Lin got hurt because of that.

“Let’s go. I’m willing to become your personal bodyguard.” Chen agreed to go with her without hesitation.

“Ok…” Lin nodded her head. She followed Chen like a wife.

Lin was staying in a slum that was located at the west side of the city. Houses at that area were extremely old and broken. There was not a single valuable item that could be found in her house. It was strange. Lin should be paid quite well since she worked for the university. It must be Lin’s brother that is causing her to live in such bad conditions. On the way, Chen had asked about her brother for a few times and he also mentioned that he was more than willing to lend her some money. However, Lin remained silent on the matter, also refusing Chen’s aid. Maybe she thought that Chen was still a poor farmer and had no money of his own. In the end, the night went by peacefully. Chen slept in her brother’s room.

On the second day, Chen and Lin took a public bus to the university.

A few days passed by without anything happened. Other than checking out the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms every day, Chen added a new routine to his daily life; training. Chen noticed how weak and small he was after he borrowed strength form Xiangyu. Also, he was dying to become as strong as Xiangyu. Brother Zhu was right. Training was long and head. Since Chen decided to go on this way, he must first conquered his own mindset.

As a guy that almost failed his fitness test and also an Otaku. He changed his lifestyle completely after Lin’s incident. Other than sleeping and eating, Chen will spend most of his time on the field to train himself. The amount of training that he did in these five days exceeded the training that he did for the past six months. His hardcore training came with rewards. He triggered his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check himself out. His new attribute showed up.

Paragon level: 0

Health: 3

Combat power: 10

“What I yield is what I work, this make total sense to me right now!” Chen smiled. His smile was astonishingly jubilant.

Although there was still a big gap between the combat power of him and Xiangyu, he was still very proud of his own improvement.

*Ring!*

Chen’s cellphone rang and it was her goddess, Lan calling him. Today is Sunday. She promised Chen that she will treat her a meal. Also, she wanted to do something with Chen as well.

Without a word, Chen rushed to the university’s gate and waited for her. Uncle Qin was not with her today. She drove a low-profile Audi. Her eyes opened wide when Chen got in the car.

“Master Chen! You have changed!”

Translator footnote

“I’ve changed? I don’t think so…” Chen was shocked.

“You look tanned! You definitely bulked up from the last time I saw you. Also, you definitely look manlier now!”

Lan’s magical and magnificent eyes were filled with wonder and curiosity. It was really hard to believe that there was such a huge transformation on Chen’s body in just five days.

“Hehehe! It was because I worked out every day to gain a better body.” Chen scratched the tip of his nose. Chen was so happy when he received compliments from her goddess. The effort that he put in his body was not wasted.

“Training? Are you planning to join sports day?” Lan asked.

She was the president of student council. Naturally, the first thing that came across her mind was sports day.

“Sports day? I have never thought about it.” Chen shook his head and said.

The only reason that motivated him to workout, was that he wanted to become a real man, like Xiangyu! He wished to possess the strength that allowed him to fight against ten thousand people and enjoyed the feeling of overlooking the other mortal beings who were beneath him.

“Actually, you can consider joining the sport day. Girls normally like sporty boys.” Lan said.

“That means you like them too?” Chen smiled and said.

“Yes! A man should act like man! I like to see men sweat it out on the field! Also, I like watching them get boiled up as they compete against each other.”

Lan was a girl who came from rich and prestigious family. She was more open and knowledgeable compared to other people. Also, she was pretty open when it came to relationships. It was so different as compared to the other ordinary, mild-mannered girls who were clueless about their own desires.

“Hehe… I must work harder from now on!” There was a rush inside his heart.

It was natural for every man to pursue their dream girl, but most of them were weak when it came to real action. Since Chen joined the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms, he had turned a lot of impossibles to reality. He could do anything that he wanted to do right now.

“Alright! I’m going to make my dream girl my girlfriend!” Chen was going to try to pursue Lan.

“Right. It is still early. What else do you want to do other than having a meal with me?” Chen changed the topic.

He put aside the sports day matter because he had planned to give Lan a big surprise.

“You mentioned to me that you wanted to buy a house, Right? I checked out a few other houses, and I’m going to show them to you today.” Lan said.

“You are so busy all the time but you still helped me to search for houses!” Chen was touched.

Shortly after, the two of them begun their journey. Lan was a thoughtful and smart girl. The lots that she chose were from some very well-thought out choices. All of them were perfect for Chen’s parents. The real estate agent offered a twenty percent discount because her family was well-known in Green Vine City. For example, if the lot had cost one million Yuan, Chen would actually save two hundred thousand Yuan.

“What do you think after seeing so many houses. Do you see the one that you like?” Lan asked.

“I like all the houses that you chose.” Chen put on his genuine smile. He liked Lan even more now.

This goddess might look ice-cold all the time. In addition to that, she also came from the richest and the most prestigious family in Green Vine City. However, if she became someone’s wife, she would definitely be the most devoted wife.

“Even though you like all of them, you can’t buy them all, right? Just pick one and I will do the talking. You should be able to get at least a thirty percent discount,” Lan said.

Chen thought about it for a while and said, “My mom and dad live in a very simple house. They are worried that they can’t get used to drastically more luxurious conditions. So, I’ll get the last bungalow that we saw. But, I don’t have enough money. I’ll have to come back next time.”

“You are such an extraordinary son…” Lan’s dreamy eyes glazed over. Her impression towards Chen was getting better and better.

“My dad and mom are farmers. They worked really hard to support me in order to study in the city. Now, I have the ability to make their life better. I want to give them the best of everything.” Chen said it earnestly.

“Good lots will get sold off really fast. I’m willing to cover part of the cost for you first. You can always pay me back later.”

Lan took out a “Black Card” and proclaimed in a regal, strong voice, “Manager, I would like to pay using my “Black Card”. I’m taking the ninth bungalow.”

This was not a small amount. The bungalow cost thirty-five million! And, Lan just paid for Chen casually. She was an impressive woman. Initially, Chen did not want Lan to cover the part of the cost for him, but she had already swiped her card out. All that he could do right now was to return the money to her as soon as possible.

“You did me a great favor today! Just choose a restaurant that you wish to go. I’m going to pay for it.” Chen said gratefully.

“Alright!” Lan said it instantly. She did not protest, wisely allowing the man to have his pride.

After that, the two of them drove to Fragrant Lake Restaurant. When they reached the front door of the restaurant, Chen’s face turned sour. There was a couple walking towards the door as well. They were none other than Yao Bingbing and Shi Mingwei.

“Asshole! I’m seeing this poor farmer everywhere! What a bad day!” Shi said it pointedly. However, Bing’s facial reaction was really complicated. Recently, she had always been thinking about the six million cash that Chen had received earlier. She was so regretful about breaking up with Chen. Also, she did not sleep and eat well.

She even considered reconciling with Chen. But, seeing Chen with Lan the goddess, she gave up the thought completely. As compared to Lan, Bing was a pile of thrash. Unless, Chen suffered some kind of brain damage from the kick of a donkey, he will never accept Bing again.

“Shi Mingwei, this is a public place. Please watch your words!” Lan stared at him with her ice-cold gaze. It looked a freezing ray that was going for his very soul.

“Hmph! That’s none of your business!” Shi curled his lips in disdain. There were three words written on his face; I DON’T CARE! He did not feel the need to flatter and fawn on her, knowing that she had no regard for him at all.

“It’s like talking to a cow!”

Lan rolled her eyes at Shi and said, “Chen, let’s go in. We don’t have to stand here and waste our precious time talking to this kind of people.”

“I’m disgusted by this pair of couple, I don’t even want to talk to them.” Chen nodded his head and walked into the restaurant.

“Asshole! Hold on right there! Poor farmers like you have no right stepping into Fragrant Lake Restaurant!” Shi couldn’t let them go. So, he rushed to them and stop them from going inside.

“You can’t stop me like this, you dolt! This restaurant does not belong to you!” Chen said unhappily.

“Shut the f*ck up! This restaurant belongs to my friend; Brother Feng. I can kick you out with a call!”

Shi shouted, “Manager! Where the hell is the manager?! Come here right now!”

Soon enough, a man with suit responded and came to him quickly. He smiled and said, “Hey. What brings you here; Master Shi? Your presence brings purpose to our shop.”

This guy had small eyes and chubby face. His words were full of flattery. Without any doubt, Chen knew he was the kind of guy that liked to swarm up to the rich.

“You can stop licking my boots! I want this guy to be kicked out from this restaurant! Now! Immediately!” Shi said arrogantly.

“I’m afraid… That goes against the rules.” The manager hesitated.

Chen was just an ordinary guy. It was easy to kick him out. But, a gorgeous and graceful lady was standing beside Chen. The manger did not know Lan’s identity because she always stayed in a low profile. However, his trained eyes told him that she was someone who mattered.

“Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Please don’t say something like that, Master Shi. Please hold on for a while.”

The manager was so afraid when he heard the name, Master Feng. He quickly walked towards Lan and said softly, “I’m really sorry Miss. As you can see, there’s nothing much I can do here. Is it possible for the two of you to go to another restaurant? I will give you a twenty percent discount the next time you come here!”

The person that he chose to talk to was Lan. Based on that fact, it showed that the manager did not care about Chen at all. Frankly speaking, he thought Chen was Lan’s boy toy. Not just any boy toy but a very obedient boy toy.

“Fine. We will go to another restaurant.” Lan saw that the manager was being very polite. She had no intention of making the situation any more difficult.

However, Chen was not happy about it at all. He had been ignored by the manager and ridiculed by Shi and Bing. He had a hard time accepting what just happened to him. Also, he was not the yes-man anymore. His mindset towards himself had changed.

“Why should we go to another restaurant? I promised that I will have a meal with you in this restaurant. Nothing is going to change that!” Chen looked really determined. He had made up his mind and he was ready to take the heat as well.

Lan frowned a little and sighed in her heart when she heard things that Chen said. She realized that she had underestimated Chen’s pride.

Shi shouted at the manager, “Manager! Kick him out right now! I will call Brother Feng if you don’t do it right now!”

“Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!” The manager started to panic.

He continued to persuade Lan, “For Christ’s sake, Miss, I’m pretty sure you know who is Master Feng right? Just consider that you are doing Master Feng a big favor. Please, go to another restaurant.”

“Wenfeng?”

Lan was slightly shocked. She knew Wenfeng was the inheritor of second biggest family in Green Vine City. However, she did not respond this time. She said softly to Chen, “Chen, you can decide.”

The manager was shocked. He never thought that a graceful lady like Lan will follow Chen’s decision.

“Sir, please do Master Feng a favor!” The manager’s attitude towards Chen changed completely. He was totally licking Chen’s boot now.

“Hmph! If it’s any other person, I will definitely give way without any hesitation. I don’t really care about Wenfeng. This guy has no shame.” Chen said condescendingly.

He had slapped Wenfeng a few nights ago. It was impossible for him to do Wenfeng a favor.

“Douche bag! Stop being so arrogant! Nobody dares to disobey Master Feng! You, wait here! I’m going to call Brother Feng right now! Get your ass ready to be kicked!”

Shi was so angry that he literally screamed out the words. Also, the manager was getting angry as well. He felt that Chen was not being considerate.

“Come here! Check this out!” Chen took out a shiny golden card from his pocket. He shook the card in front of the manager.

“This….This…”

The manager had his eyes and mouth fixed on the card. After some time, he shouted in a surprised tone, “I can’t believe you own the Super VVIP card of Wen organization!”

“What?!”

Shi and Bing were so shocked when they saw Chen holding the card. There were only three Super VVIP cards of the Wen organization in Green Vine City. They never expected one of the cards to be possessed by Chen. With this card, Chen could enjoy and utilize the authority of CEO of Wen organization. Even Lan was so surprised that Chen actually owned the card. Her eyes were wide open.

“Fake card! This must be a fake card! He is just a poor farmer! How is it possible for him to possess the real card?!” Shi shouted furiously.

The manager shook his head and said, “Master Shi…..this card is genuine. I can say that to you with absolute certainty.”

Shi’s facial reaction became twisted and the raging contents of his lungs were going to make him explode.

“Now, do I need still need to do Master Feng any favors?” Chen said condescendingly.

Wenfeng might be the inheritor of Wen family. But, the CEO of the family was the one who truly manages the company. That being said, according to the order of things, Wenfeng should be the one respecting Chen. There was no need to do Wenfeng any favors.

“Listen carefully. I want you to kick these two people out of Fragrant Lake Restaurant! Put them both in blacklist. I do not want them to step foot at this place anymore. Chen stared at both of them with the gaze of death. Chen definitely looked like the most powerful man in this world right now.

On the other hand, Shi and Bing felt like they had just been trampled by a thousand horses. It looked like they needed a deep hole to crawl in right now.

“The two of you! Please leave, right now! Fragrant Lake restaurant no longer welcomes the both of you!” The manager said condescendingly. His attitude had flipped over in an instant.

“Please don’t do this to us! I’m Master Feng’s bro!” Shi gritted his teeth and said.

“I don’t care if Master Feng is your bro or your friend! Words that came out from the Sir over there are as powerful as our CEO. I will call security to kick you out if you still refuse to leave this place!” The manager straightened up his face and there was no sense of doubt in his words. Shi was so furious to the point that he wanted to vomit blood. Besides that, Bing looked like she could use some “aloe-vera”. She wanted to slap herself as hard as possible. It was pretty obvious that she suffered a “third degree burn”. She could not understand why she chose to break up with Chen earlier.

After this, Chen and his goddess; Lan entered the restaurant. They became the Super VVIP of the restaurant. On the other hand, Shi and Bing were being cast away like devils. Actually, Bing will not suffer the “burn” if she had not chosen Shi over Chen.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Chen took out his cellphone and checked on the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms. He was delighted to see that the deities had started to pour out Red Envelopes into the group. He decided not to care about anything else around him and started to snatch the Red Envelopes with his two hands like nobody’s business.

For the past five days, people were just talking in the group. There were no Red Envelopes to be snatched. This was why Chen is going crazy over it. The chances of getting the Red Envelopes will be increased when there were a lot of Red Envelopes to be snatched. Chen got an Red Envelope after a few seconds.

Ding!

[Congratulation on getting a Red Envelope from the Howling Celestial Dog. You have received a packet of dog food. It has been deposited inside your treasure chest.]

“What the f*ck! How is possible for the Howling Celestial Dog to give out Red Envelopes? I know I’m a “single-dog”1 but it is totally unnecessary to give me a packet of dog food.”

Chen was confused, and swiped the notification aside without reading any further. He continued to tap on his cellphone.

“Chen, what are you doing?” Lan asked curiously.

“I’m snatching Red Envelopes….Can you entertain yourself for a while….?” Chen did not even lift up his head and look at Lan while he talked to her.

Lan was struck by Chen’s words and she started to become gloomy. She was the most beautiful girl in the university. There were a lot of men did not even have the chance to dine with her. And, here Chen was, neglecting her and snatching some “Red Envelopes” in a stupid cellphone game. Lan curled up her lips and started to get angry.

“Eh? Hold on! Lan Mengchen! What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you getting angry at Chen? Could it be that….you like him?” Lan was shocked and her gorgeous face was full of surprise.

Before this, she always treated other guys coldly. This was how she get the name Ice-Cold Beauty. However, she was getting angry at Chen for neglecting her. This was definitely a dangerous sign! Lan shook her head and tried to calm herself down.

Ding!

[Congratulations on snatching Duobao Daoren’s Red Envelope. You have received the Pill of Purification. It has been stored inside your treasure chest.]

Ding!

[Congratulation on snatching The Prime of Tongtian’s Red Envelope. You have received The Ultimate Scripture of Heaven and Earth. It has been deposited inside your treasure chest.]

“Wow! Triple kill! And, I even received The Scripture of Heaven and Earth from The Prime of Tongtian! This is unbelievable!” Chen was literally jumping around out of joy after he heard the notification from his cellphone.

Lan was getting more and more unhappy when she saw Chen behaving like this. Chen was not even impressed when she helped Chen to cover the thirty-five million Yuan for the bungalow that he chose. She couldn’t understand why was Chen getting hyped up over some worthless Red Envelopes. Lan pouted her lips and stared at Chen angrily with her big and dreamy eyes. That was right! Lan was officially getting jealous over some Red Envelopes.

She would never know how valuable and powerful the items that Chen just received. The Prime of Tongtian was one of the Sanqing. He was on the same level with Lord Lao Zi and the Primeval Lord of Heaven. Also, the Prime of Tongtian was the most arrogant, and flamboyant one among the Sanqing. He always did things that were super crazy and cool. His Red Envelope would never disappoint Chen.

As expected, the wave of Red Envelopes that were flooding the group came to a complete halt. It was all replaced by the group members’ words of envy.

Majachenmo: What the f*ck! Who snatched away The Scripture of Heaven and Earth from the Prime of Tongtian? (Unlimited number of shocking emojis)

Jade Emperor: No way! I can’t believe The Prime of Tongtian gave out the scripture of Heaven and Earth! Is he going to take in some apprentice?

God Erlang said: Why didn’t I get anything? Why??!! (Three going crazy emojis)

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said: Who the hell is Chen Xiaobei? His luck is beyond imagination! (Three staring emojis)

Bull Demon King: Shit! I can’t believe I missed this golden opportunity! I want to become his apprentice! (Three crying emojis)

Guardian of Ground: Chen is the future Great God! Any more space on his legs? I’m so going to hump it!

Heavenly soldier: Great God! I want to hug the furs of your legs!

Looking at the messages and comments that flooded the whole group made Chen really nervous. It was pretty obvious that Chen received a Super Red Envelope. It actually made all those deities so jealous of him. The thing that Chen should be concerned about was the attention that he was receiving from all those deities. There was a saying; rumors surface when one gets too famous. If the true identity of Chen was exposed, he would definitely be expelled from this group. The thing that he was most worried about now came to him without any warning.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

His cellphone started to vibrate crazily, he received countless friend requests and the notifications flooded his screen. All kind of deities and demons wanted to be his friend right now. Chen was getting more and more worried. He had a feeling that his good days were coming to an end.

“Prediction… Let me predict my own future first!”

Chen calmed himself down. Luckily, he still had an ultimate item that he could rely on.

“Good prediction! Great luck incoming!”

After his prediction, he finally felt relieved. His prediction skill was failproof.

“If I’m going to have good luck, why should I be worried or afraid! Lan, let’s eat now.” Chen smiled and tossed his phone aside. He decided to let those deities and demons do whatever they wanted to do.

“Hmph!” Lan pouted.

Chen was not stupid. He knew that he had just neglected the most beautiful girl in school to snatch some Red Envelopes. Chen triggered his “Super-Good-Guy” mode. He served her with different dishes and refilled tea for her from time to time. Also, he told a lot of funny jokes to make her laugh.

By the time they had finished their meal, Lan was not angry anymore. She was laughing uncontrollably. Her mood had lightened up again. The night wind was cold and the moon was bright enough to create a soothing effect. The atmosphere of the path in the university was like a warm embrace.

“Chen, I think we are friends. Right?” Lan asked abruptly.

“Needless to say. Of course, we are friends!” Chen smiled. Looking at Lan’s gorgeous face, his heart was beating faster and faster.”

“Do you want to chill at my house?” Lan asked again.

“Your home? Chill?”

Chen was shocked and said, “Of course, the answer is going to be a yes. But, is it ok for us to move on at such a fast pace?”

Eh? It sounded familiar. Chen had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember where and when he had heard it.

“What do you mean by move on?”

Lan rolled her eyes on Chen and said in a pouty tone, “What kind of nonsense is that? What I’m trying to say is, I want to invite you to my grandma’s birthday party! It happens three days from now!”

“Erm…”

Chen was so embarrassed. He finally recalled that he had said the same thing to Lin Xiang.

“I think I’m sick. I need to see a doctor. I’m such a dirty bastard for always thinking about doing my Lan.” Chen thought.

“Yes! I’m willing to go!” Chen quickly nodded his head. He could not let Lan know about his dirty thoughts.

“That’s good!”

Lan smiled, “I will contact you before my grandma’s birthday party. I’m bringing you in to transform your image.”

“Oh… Great!” Chen scratched the tip of his nose and thought that it was time for him to toss away the poor farmer image. He thought, “I have money now. I should treat myself better.”

“Remember, three days from now. Don’t miss the appointment.” The corners of Lan’s lips moved upwards slightly. Her eyes were like the stars in the sky that shone right into Chen’s heart.

“So gorgeous…” Chen was gasping in admiration and Lan was pouting playfully.

After Chen sent Lan back to her dorm, he walked to a spot where he was sure no one could see him. He quickly took out his cellphone. It was his intention to check on the three Red Envelopes that he received earlier. He saw a message when he turned on his cellphone. The profile picture of the person who had left him a message was rather good looking. His name was The Prime of Tongtian.

“Oh shit! The previous owner of the Scripture of Heaven and Earth is here to look for me! But, I had not added him as a friend…” Chen was getting really confused. He opened the message and read it.

The Prime of Tongtian: Young man, don’t be afraid. I used my mighty power to modify the coding of Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms. Divine “hacking”, if you will. That was why I could add you as my friend without your consent.

“What the f*ck! How is it possible for him to know what I am thinking of right now!?” Chen was really surprised.

The Prime of Tongtian: I know the things that you are thinking right now and I also know that you have enormous potential within you. That was why I gifted you the Scripture of Heaven and Earth.

“I’m going to faint right now. Please don’t tell me that he is going to ask me to protect the earth next because that’s how a typical movie proceeds.” Chen felt like something bad was going to happen.

There was no need to type out a single word when Chen chatted with The Prime of Tongtian, because he could read Chen’s mind.

The Prime of Tongtian: You are witty enough to know what is going to happen. However, your assumption is wrong. I don’t need you to protect the earth. I need you to maintain the peace between the three different realms. Prepare your heart. It is going to happen soon!

“No way… You are really scaring me…” Chen kept on swallowing his saliva because this incident had evolved into something that he couldn’t possibly handle.

The Prime of Tongtian: I don’t have time to explain anything more to you right now. I have a meeting to attend at the Great Void. What I want you to do right now is to train yourself as hard as possible. I’m going to look for you when I have more time.

“Hold on! The Prime of Tongtian! Will I be kicked out from the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms?” Chen asked quickly. It had been nagging at him since the beginning.

The Prime of Tongtian: Don’t you worry. From today onwards, you are my apprentice. If anyone offends you in the group, mark down their names, and I will use my Godkiller Sword to destroy them.

“I’m more relieved now…” Chen took a long sigh.

The Prime of Tongtian was the most arrogant one among the Sanqing. At the same time, he valued the code of brotherhood a lot. He always did take care of his apprentices. According to the legendary tale of League of Gods, he created the Godkiller Formation to battle with Four Saints in order to protect his apprentice. Looking at the current circumstances, the legend was true.

“I’m so lucky to have such a crazy yet almighty master. The next thing that I should is to train myself as hard as possible,” Chen smiled, a clear, definite goal set out in his mind.

“Let’s put aside the matter of maintaining the peace of three realms. Firstly, I have to become as strong as Xiangyu. A man who can fight against a thousand people. It’s time to check out the Red Envelopes that I received earlier.” Chen gathered his thoughts and opened up the treasure chest.

There was a Monkey Fur of Prosperity, a Charm of Marriage, a bottle of the Potion of a Thousand Herbs, The Scripture of Heaven and Earth, a Pill of Purification, and a packet of dog food for the Heavenly Dog. The last three items were the items that he had received earlier tonight. He put aside the dog food and checked on the two items.

[The Pill of Purification was handcrafted by Duobao Daoren. It can be used to purify and transform your physical body. Do you want to withdraw it?]

“Purify and transform, huh? It should set up a good foundation for my training. I’ll have to try it now!” Chen thought. He ran as fast as a wild horse to the school gate. He found a high-class hotel, booked a room, locked all the windows and doors, and finally drew the curtains. Making sure everything was secure, Chen then clicked on the withdraw button with a heart that was filled with excitement. The outer look and the texture of the pill looked like a round jade. There was a purple aura surrounding the pill. The scent of the pill was very pleasant for one to sniff in as well. Chen took a sniff and he was so refreshed and energetic.

“Time for me to experience the medicinal effect of the Pill of purification!” Without a second thought, Chen took the pill.

The moment the pill entered Chen’s mouth, he felt like he just fell inside a burning furnace. No doubt, this was a heavenly pill. Every corner of his body was being burned by fire right now. In only a few seconds, he could already feel his body starting to melt. It was a horrendous feeling, but Chen knew better than anyone that he needed to stay strong. This was the only path to success.

Right now, Chen was like a piece of scrap metal. In order to become a good piece of billet ready for forging, he needed to cast out all the impurities from within his body and break down his spiritual shackles. All these efforts were to create an optimum physical body that could go through the training that Chen was going to do. Chen was sweating like a mad dog because of the medicinal effect of the pill.

He took off his shirt, and pants, and sat in a meditative position. Slowly, his sweat poured down his body. The color of the sweat was getting darker and darker as well. In the end, it became pitch black.

Times flew when one did not pay attention to it. Along with the disappearance of the burning sensation, the process of purification was officially a success. Chen turned into a mud man. His whole body was covered with pitch black oil stain. He smelled horrible as well. This probably meant that he had transformed from a piece of scrap metal into something pure, something new. He entered the bathroom and turned the water to the highest pressure.

*Shuhhhh!*

When the drops of hot water landed on his body, the oil stains went away instantly.

“Oh man! This is so good!” Chen shouted out loud.

He had never felt so good for the past nineteen years. It was beyond amazing. Every inch of his skin, down to every single piece of his muscles were rejuvenated. Also, every single drop of his blood down to every single cell was filled with brand new life. He could feel every change that was happening in his body.

The changes on his outer body were clearly visible. His bronze skin tone had turned fair and smooth. It was even better than a woman’s skin. Also, there was not a single flaw in his skin. The aged pimples disappeared as well. Originally, he had already looked pretty good. By the time he came out from his shower, he looked even better than before. He looked like a model from a fitness magazine. Lan would be very surprised the next time she sees him.

“If my skin is so perfect. I’m pretty sure the condition of my internal body should be in tip-top condition as well.”

After Chen cleaned his body, he picked up his cellphone and said, “Now, everything is ready. I should go on with my training now.”

[The Scripture of Heaven and Earth was created by The Prime of Tongtian. It is a top-secret heavenly scripture. Do you wish to withdraw it?”

“Yes!”

A thumb-sized jade charm appeared in his palm after he tapped the screen. Before he could examine the jade charm in detail, a light of seven colors bloomed right out from the jade charm. It filled the room within a second.

“Erm….”

Chen started to feel dizzy. It was like the whole world was spinning. Tonnes of river-long information started to flow inside Chen’s mind. The quintessence of The Scripture of Heaven and Earth was stored inside his brain.

“This is so magical! I don’t even need to memorize anything from it. I can start my training right away!”

Chen calmed himself down and followed what the scripture told him to do to start the training. He cultivated his mind by combining his aura with the aura of nature. When the two combined, Chen found that some kind of unique aura was oozing out from his body. It was like a dragon circling between heaven and earth.

He cultivated his mind for the second time. The dragon circled the space between heaven and earth for the second time as well. This time, Chen could clearly feel that his body was way stronger than before. It wasn’t a huge change, but, everything starts from scratch, including training. He realized that he needed to accumulate all these training experience to become stronger. Chen was completely drowned inside this out of this world feeling.

Chen trained until the next morning. Suddenly, a message popped out from Netherspirit Battlescouter. He finally stopped his training.

Ding!

[Congratulation! You have reached another level of training! Cultivation: Early state of physical phase, Health: 100, Combat power: 100]

“Oh my God! The Scripture of Heaven and Earth was more than just a normal heavenly scripture! I have reached another level of training in just one night! This is so exciting!” Chen’s face was filled with excitement.

His combat power had reached one hundred after the first training. It was more than enough to fight against normal humans. Unless he met someone that much stronger than him, there was no need to borrow any strength from the dead and deduct his Triple Realms Merit point. If his Triple Realms Merit point continued to drop, he will be turned from a bad guy to criminal, from criminal to super villain, from super villain to villain of the decade, from villain of the decade to villain of the century. The list went on. He would definitely be struck by lightning if he became a super villain.

Chen thought that it was definitely better to rely on his own strength instead of relying on the dead king’s strength.

*Sob*

Suddenly, Chen heard someone sobbing outside his room.

“The heck is all this about, this early in the morning?” Chen was confused.

He opened up the door after he dressed up.

He saw a woman with untidy clothes knelt in front of the door beside his room, weeping.

“Sir… Please help me to catch that son of the b*tch! Last night, he knocked me out with roofie and brought me to his room. Also, he took away my virginity!” The woman was weeping and pointing at the hallway.

“What the hell! I will catch him, you have my word!”

Chen’s mind was on a different levelright now. He was full of confidence.

“Son of a b*tch! Stand right there! Don’t move!”

Chen took huge steps, rushing at the rapist. The guy at the end of the hall was getting ready to escape when he heard Chen’s voice. He was quite a sprinter himself. Running was his thing. He tried his best to run away from Chen but Chen could still manage to catch up to him.

“Where do you think you are going?’

Chen extended his hand to grab the guy’s shirt. Unexpectedly, he ended up lifting the man off his feet. With one arm. It was as easy as lifting up a chicken.

“Uh…”

The rapist was stunned. He weighed at least one hundred and thirty pounds. The fact that Chen could lift up him up with one hand was unbelievable. This was a monstrous strength.

“My man! I ain’t got no beef with you! Just leave me alone! I’m begging you…” the rapist said anxiously.

“Don’t beg me. You can beg the police later.” Chen shrugged and prepared to capture him.

“My man! I have money! I can pay you! Just name your price!” the rapist put his hand into his pocket.

“Hehe… Money is a good thing but it can’t buy my dignity,” Chen smiled.

“Motherf*cker! How naively stupid are you to not accept money?!”

Suddenly, the rapist’s gaze turned cold. He took out a small knife from his pocket and stabbed Chen right in the chest. Chen was not able to react to the sudden attack. Also, the gap was basically non-existent. He could not dodge it. He actually wanted to stab Chen hard and fast, since he was quite strong himself. If it was any other person, the force of the stab would have definitely been able to pierce the person’s heart. Too bad, his opponent was Chen.

“Asshole! You are the one that rejected my good offer!” Chen’s eyes were filled with anger.

His left hand moved at lightning speed and was took hold of the offending hand.

*Crack*

The rapist’s hand was broken, and the loud crunch echoed through the hallway.

“Argh! Ahhh!”

The pain was too intense for him to bear. He was writhed on the ground in agony. His face had turned pale and his body was trembling. The way he looked at Chen was like he was looking at a monster. Fear quickly filled up quick. Funnily enough, Chen was just as shocked as him. He said casually, “The power that I acquired from my training was rather scary. I think I just accidentally broke someone’s hand.”

“Huh…?”

“Accidentally…?”

The rapist was really puzzled when he heard the thing that Chen just told him.

“The power of your strength is too scary! How can you say that it’s an accident? My hand is not made of paper! It’s not that easy to break my hand! Human bones aren’t glass, you know?!” He complained inside his heart. He was too scared to say anything to Chen. Also, he knew if he went against Chen again, he might not even survive the next clash.

“Hehehe… The effort that I put in my training is really showing me results now! I transformed from a small gun to big gun! From a poor farmer to Superman! This is so exciting!”

Chen was even more determined to train harder now. After that, Chen carried the rapist like a dead dog back to where the woman was. The victim called the police. When the police came and put a cuff on the rapist’s hand, two messages popped up.

Ding!

[Successfully taken down a bad guy. Triple Realms Merit point +101]

Ding!

[Congratulation! You have leveled up and are now a good person. Your current Triple Realm Merit point is 100. You still need another 900 points to go to the next level.]

“What the hell! I can’t believe this is how the point system works!” Chen said in shock.

“I earned a point when I saved a person last time. But, how is it possible to earn 101 points by catching a rapist? Also, what is the benefit of becoming a good person?” Chen asked curiously.

Ding!

[Good person, Charm+ 10, Luck +10]

Ding!

[Charm allows you to earn others’ trust and interest towards you]

Ding!

[Luck allows you to go through everything smoothly and reduce the chances of bad stuff happening to you.]

“Damn! This level system is so exciting!”

“My charm allows me to become a guy who will sway ladies off their feet! Besides that, my luck can make sure that the road ahead of me is going to be smooth like butter. This is definitely good karma! I’m going to do more good deeds in the future!” Chen rambled to himself.

“Sir. Good day.” A female policed officer walked towards Chen.

“Hey. How are you? Anything?” Chen replied politely.

The female office blushed when her eyes looked directly into Chen’s eyes. Firstly, Chen was quite a good-looking young man. Secondly, she felt that Chen had some kind of magnetic power that made her fix her eyes on Chen.

“Officer? Are you alright?” Chen asked in a leveled tone. He could clearly see the effects of his charm and was elated.

This was the effect of ten points of charm. Could you imagine what would happen to Chen if he added a few more levels? All the girls would fall in love with him instantly.

“When that time comes, ladies like ice-cold goddesses, adorable Lolis, seductive MILFs, wild-cat like girls will not be able to withstand my magical charm. This is going to be exciting.” Chen thought.

*Cough*

The officer coughed in embarrassment and said, “Actually, the rapist that you captured today was a wanted criminal. According to the police station’s policy, you may collect ten thousand Yuan from us.”

“Wanted criminal? Has he done a lot of bad things?” Chen asked.

“Yes! He’s a guy that done a lot of bad things. Other than raping women, he murdered a few people as well! We are truly grateful that you helped us to capture this wanted criminal.” The officer looked really serious. It was pretty obvious that she hated rapists.

“Now I know the reason of earning so many points in one good deed.” Chen nodded.

He also thought that he should head to the police station to check up on all the wanted criminals and capture. This should be able to increase his level faster.

“Sir. What are you talking about?” The officer asked curiously.

“Oh… Nothing. You said that there’s a reward? Can you bring me to it?” Chen smiled and said.

“Today is a day filled with many different kinds of excitement. Other than my training up to a new level, my level increased, I brought down a criminal, I even received a bounty reward. This is what I call life!”

After Chen had settled everything, he took out his cellphone. Almost everyone in the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms sent him friend requests last night. Most of the members of Red Envelope Group accepted his friend request when Chen checked on it again. They seemed really quiet. None of them dared to disturb Chen.

“This should be the work of my master. If not, I would have been bothered by them to death.” Chen smiled and laughed up his sleeve. It felt so good to have a kick-ass Master. Also, this Master actually came with the Red Envelope that he had snatched earlier. Chen was drowning in joy.

“Right! I received a packet of dog food from the Xiao Tianquan. I wonder what does it do.” Chen opened up his treasure chest.

“Seems good but I don’t plan on owning a pet anytime soon.” Chen shrugged his shoulder.

“If this dog food can make a pet stay loyal to you by 100%. What will happen if I use it on a human? If that’s possible, I don’t mind having a few followers with dog-like loyalty.” Chen thought whimsically.

Chen started to think about the money that she owed Lan. For now, he had six million inside his bank account. It was not an easy task to save up thirty-five million to pay Lan. Besides that, Chen needed another five million to furnish the house. It was not a small number. After some rough calculations, Chen would need to earn another forty million before his parents can move into the bungalow.

“I still have three golden jade hairpins. I should ask Uncle Qin if I could sell them out for at least ten million. What should I do to gather the rest of the money?

Chen was getting a headache when he thought about this. Another method was that he could go to Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms group to acquire more antiques. But, it would attract unwanted attention if he sold too many antiques. He had to think of another way to solve this problem.

A familiar person appeared on the path that Chen was walking on.

“Ms. Lin, are you ok?” Chen quickly rushed to her.

“I’m okay. I twisted my ankle…” Lin squatted down and pressed on her ankle anxiously.

She wore a dove white dress today. It made her look really graceful and elegant. Chen walked toward her. He then accidentally saw an eye-catching milky white “Mariana Trench” from her neckband. Lin’s body was too hot for Chen to handle. His eyeballs almost fell inside her shirt.

“Bastard! Where are you looking at?!”

Lin quickly covered up her neckband and said angrily, “Which class are you from? I want to look for your class counselor! I am going to make sure you get a good scolding from your class counselor.”

Chen was shocked and amused at the same time after hearing what she said to him.

“Ms. Lin. You are so funny. I’m Chen!”

“You… You are Chen?”

Lin Xiang was completely in shock.

His voice and his attire were definitely belonged him. However, she felt that Chen’s face had gone through a major transformation. The poor farmer had transformed into a super handsome young man. She found it hard to accept the fact that Chen looked like a completely different person.

“Haha, Do I look more handsome than before?” Chen laughed.

“Erm…” Lin was in a trance state. Chen’s invisible charm had created some kind of magnetic force to capture Lin’s attention.

“Weird! Could it be that I’m possessed by something? Don’t utter nonsense. I’m still your teacher.” Lin quickly shook her head.

“Fine. I will cut the crap. Let me take a look at your feet.” Chen squatted down and got ready to check on it.

“What are you looking at?! Don’t you dare take advantage of me.” Lin frowned. It was pretty obvious that her self-defense mechanism was pretty strong.

“If I were to take advantage of you, I would have done when I stayed overnight at your place. Why would I wait until now?” Chen curled his lips.

“This…” Lin stiffened and she had nothing to counter Chen.

It was the truth. It wouldn’t be hard at all for Chen to take advantage of her on the night Chen stayed over. But, Chen did not do it. It actually proved that Chen still had dignity in him. Before Lin could react to him, Chen lifted up her leg and took off her high heel. A fair thigh with jade-like skin landed in Chen’s hand. Chen noticed that her ankle was swollen.

“Let go of me. I just need some rest. Ouch…” Lin’s slim and silken leg had never been touched by any other man.

She wanted to retract her leg but it was too painful to do that. Her heart was in turmoil.

“You have hurt your muscle and bone. Stop moving if you don’t want to be strapped up at the hospital.” Chen took out a bottle of Potion of Hundred Herbs and poured a few drops on his hand. Then he started to massage her feet. Lin still tried to fight against it.

Suddenly, the pain from her ankle disappeared. The pain was replaced by extreme comfort that words couldn’t describe. It was tingling. It was tickling, yet it was so mesmerizing, so addictive.

“Ah…” Lin’s natural instinct made her moan. There was a sense of maturity in her voice. In addition to that, her moan was further enhanced by the huskiness of her voice. That moan alone was powerful enough to trigger Chen’s nature. Her cheeks turned warm and red once she realized she had just moaned suggestively. She never expected herself to moan in front of a student. This was so embarrassing for her that she couldn’t wait to hide inside a deep hole. Chen wrestled his mind out of the gutter. It would be very embarrassing if his “gun” fired.

“It should be fine now. You can try to walk around.”

Chen let go of her foot a few minutes later.

“Oh…” Suddenly, Lin felt as if she had lost something important, something meaningful, as his touch left her.

After some stretching, Lin’s face was filled with joy, “I don’t feel pain anymore! Chen, you are really good at this!”

“Now you know that I’m not that kind of guy who will take advantage of you.” Chen smiled.

“Erm… I shouldn’t have blamed you unjustly. Thank you so much!” Lin lowered down her head, filled with shyness. She looked so innocent and adorable.

“You are most welcome! You helped me a lot last time.” Chen said seriously.

He was forever grateful towards Lin.

“Oh right! Have you settled your family matter?” Chen asked with concern.

“Yea. It’s solved…” Lin nodded evasively.

“I would like to make a move first if there’s nothing else.”

“Eh…?”

Chen frowned because he felt something wrong. Based on her current circumstance, it was not possible for Lin to pay off the three hundred thousand Yuan in such a short time.

Chen did his prediction and quickly warned Lin, “Ms. Lin, do not go to the north tomorrow night. It’s dangerous.”

“Erm… Okay…” Lin was quite confused. She nodded and left quickly. Also, she did not pay attention to what Chen told her.

“It’s okay if she doesn’t want to listen to me. I will go with her tomorrow to make things clear.” Chen did not stop Lin from leaving, because he had the whole thing planned out in his mind.

After that, Chen went back to his dorm. The three of his roommates gathered around him the second he entered the room.

“What the f*ck? Third brother, did you travel to another country to do cosmetic surgery on your face? Even I failed to recognize you!” Zhou’s eyeballs almost fell on the ground.

“Third brother, you look really good. I bet the cosmetic surgery must have been very expensive!” Li said weakly.

“Third brother! Introduce the surgeon to me! I want to make myself look like Tom Cruise! Money is not a problem!” Rich man Zhang took out his credit card immediately.

Chen was laughing up his sleeves and said with his curled lips, “I did not go for any cosmetic surgery! I always looked this handsome!”

“Third brother! You can be a superstar now with that level of acting!”

“Your face definitely became “thicker” after the surgery.”

“Everyone, gather around and take a look at this handsome man!”

“……”

Time flew when Chen fooled around with three of his roommates. The whole night passed without them realizing it. Chen received Uncle Qin’s call the next morning.
