"Hmm, today's earnings aren't bad either." Ye Chuan glanced at the spirit stones in his pocket; nearly a hundred million low-grade spirit stones had come in today. It wasn't thanks to talent or hard work, but purely from the compensation he had demanded from that old geezer Qing Xuan for his losses.
If only there were more suckers coming by.
Money is just too easy to make in the Tianxuan Continent. Even robbing people wouldn't be this fast.
Ye Chuan sighed with emotion, though the number of suckers showing up daily still wasn't enough. But since his reputation was already spreading, and this shopfront was given to him for free, there were hardly any costs involved.
Ye Chuan was currently sitting on his sofa, nibbling on a flatbread with his small hands. It was already closing time, but he wasn't in a hurry to log off just yet.
He wondered when his body would return to normal. Otherwise, every time he got off work and went back, he'd get run over by the big carriage. Although Ye Chuan didn't exactly dislike it, having no rest time at all was simply not feasible.
He needed to pace himself. Otherwise, how could he take on three heroes at once?
"Boss, the door is all locked up!" After closing the shop, Hu Li came trotting over, her face full of excitement. Seeing her like this, Ye Chuan propped his chin on his hand and said,
"You can clock off now. You're free to go wherever you want to play this afternoon."
With that, Ye Chuan took out a small pouch of spirit stones. "Here, there are a hundred spirit stones inside. Consider it your wages for this period."
Having made money, Ye Chuan didn't forget to share a bit with his employee. He could be nominated for one of Tianxuan's Top Ten Most Touching Figures.
"Hu Li has enough money to spend, Boss. I don't want money." Hu Li shook her head. "Hu Li... just wants to stay by the boss's side. That's enough."
Hearing this, Ye Chuan silently looked at the little fox girl before him, then suddenly smiled. "You have no cultivation. You won't be able to stay by my side for long."
Hu Li lowered her head, her small hands clutching the frilled edge of her apron. Perhaps her mood plummeted in that instant, as even her ears drooped, no longer perked up. "Hu Li was just a medicine slave... she has no talent for cultivation."
When she was used as a medicine slave, the foundation of Hu Li's body had long been damaged. Even though Ye Chuan healed her injuries, foundational things like that couldn't be restored by pills or healing arts alone.
Seeing Hu Li so dejected, Ye Chuan pondered. "If you want to cultivate, I can help you."
"Really?!" Hu Li looked up in pleasant surprise, her tail wagging back and forth like a dog's, clearly showing how happy she was.
"Cultivation ultimately comes down to spiritual roots and physique, that's all," Ye Chuan said. And he was lacking in neither of those things, nor in cultivation techniques.
His backpack was stuffed full; he used to have so many he'd sell them for money.
"Prepare yourself. Cultivation is not something to be rushed," Ye Chuan said. "The cultivation I have today is the result of sweat and hard work."
"I will!" Hu Li nodded repeatedly. "I will work hard and learn well from the boss!"
"Heh."
Tianxuan Continent, logging off.
...
After logging off, Ye Chuan returned to his room in the real world. He rolled over on his bed once, then took out his phone, planning to draw a spiritual root and physique for Hu Li.
After all, she was a subordinate following him. No matter what, her specs couldn't be too low.
Plus, he could see if his luck was good enough to draw a peerless physique for Luo Xi to use. She was still using the Supreme Ice Profound Body, which, although a gold-grade physique, had quite a gap compared to the red-grade physiques of Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang.
However, when he opened the physique drawing interface, a piece of information there caught Ye Chuan's attention—
[Physique Drawing Event Ended. Prices Have Returned to Normal]
[One Draw: 100,000]
Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment. "Seriously? Your inflation rate is faster than my cultivation progress?"
Previously, drawing a physique for himself only cost a thousand. Later, because he was drawing for others, the price directly jumped to fifty thousand. Now that Ye Chuan wanted to get some physiques for everyone, it shot up to a hundred thousand?
"The higher your cultivation, the higher the price."
But even at a hundred thousand per draw, it was nothing to the current Ye Chuan. At the very least, it was much cheaper than enhancing weapons or magical treasures.
Back when it cost a thousand per draw, it was quite painful. Now, a hundred thousand per draw, and Ye Chuan felt nothing.
"Is this what it feels like to become rich?" Ye Chuan sighed with emotion, then started directly with a hundred consecutive draws.
Ten million tossed in.
[Congratulations on obtaining Low-Grade Fire Profound Body. Placed in backpack.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Wood Spirit Body. Placed in backpack.]
[Congratulations on...]
Pop-up windows began appearing one after another, followed by several flashes of golden light. After a hundred draws, it would be a rip-off not to get at least gold-grade.
[Item: Peerless Saint Body Gold
A combat saint body. Activates combat bloodline. The angrier you become, the stronger your combat power. Can amplify all cultivation techniques... Side effect: hair turns golden.]
Ye Chuan scanned the few gold-grade physiques. Seeing the Peerless Saint Body, he found it unfamiliar.
This physique... gives off a bit of a Saiyan vibe?
"Luo Xi probably doesn't need it. For Hu Li... what about Little Ke?" Ye Chuan felt none of them seemed particularly suited.
Ye Chuan started looking at the second and third physiques.
[Item: Heavenly Demon Saint Body Gold
A physique for those who have fallen into the demonic path. Practicing any unorthodox demonic techniques will encounter no bottlenecks and suffer no side effects...]
Mediocre.
Ye Chuan withdrew his gaze. After a hundred draws, there was nothing really good.
Fortunately, these physiques could all be synthesized. Ye Chuan synthesized the low-grade ones in one go, but not a single gold-grade popped out.
Seeing no good items emerged, Ye Chuan synthesized the gold-grade physiques.
[Congratulations on obtaining Heaven-Sent Lone Star Physique. Placed in backpack.]
[Item: Heaven-Sent Lone Star Body Gold
A fate marked by baleful aura. It restricts close friends and relatives, destined for a life of solitude.
However, it possesses causal fortune that turns misfortune into blessing. Can also strengthen oneself by absorbing the misfortune of others.]
An old, familiar face.
"Get lost, get lost." Ye Chuan got a headache just seeing the Heaven-Sent Lone Star. He had drawn this kind of thing plenty of times when drawing physiques for himself.
"No good items. Another hundred draws, then." With a calm expression, Ye Chuan started drawing again.
"Bzzz—"
A string of drawing messages popped up, not a single golden flash among them.
"For real? Am I hitting the pity system?" Ye Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth. He had a lucky streak just now, and now it was time to pay it back, as expected.
But just as he was thinking that, the interface suddenly emitted an unfamiliar red glow!
"?!"
Wait a second?!
A peerless physique?!
Ye Chuan's eyes were glued to the messages. Finally, he opened his backpack, his gaze landing on one of the physiques enveloped in a red glow.
It actually dropped!
It really dropped?!
[Item: Samsara Immortal Body Red
The sacred body of ten thousand lifetimes of reincarnation. When the holder is near death, their soul will retain memories and cultivation base, falling into reincarnation. After revival, their realm will increase. After nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine reincarnations, the physique will evolve to the next stage.]
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
