Time slowly passed.
One week later.
The policy of nationwide warrior transformation officially commenced.
In Jiang City, the entrance to the Emperor Foundation was already packed with people.
Qin Luo held a megaphone and shouted at the long queue in front of him, "Stay in an orderly line, everyone!"
"One high-grade qi and blood pill per person! Don't take more than your share!"
"Also! After collecting your qi and blood pill, head over to Teacher Alicia to receive a signed publication!"
"Limited to 1000 copies, first come first served!"
After shouting, Qin Luo dropped the megaphone and looked somewhat puzzled at Chen Gong, who sat in the designated seat for distributing qi and blood pills.
Chen Gong appeared weary, constantly yawning.
"Chen Gong, what did you do last night? You're so sleepy."
"Brother Luo... I've been working overtime to refine qi and blood pills these past few days... I'm completely drained..."
"You've worked hard! The Foundation will remember your contribution!"
Moved, Chen Gong replied, "Brother Luo, I'd do anything for the Foundation."
As Qin Luo strolled to the side, under a sun umbrella, Su Muwan sipped on her little milk tea.
She glanced at Qin Luo as he approached and asked, puzzled, "Qin Luo, why go to such great lengths to turn everyone in Jiang City into warriors?"
A week earlier, shortly after finishing a competition, Qin Luo had announced a city-wide policy of universal warrior transformation, which officially began today.
From today until the end of the year, warrior awakening stations would be set up in schools, businesses, and public places.
Everyone would need to undergo a warrior awakening test.
If someone had talent, they could choose to join the Foundation for systematic training.
If they didn't have talent, that was fine too. They could collect a qi and blood pill and leave.
Or, if they wished to become warriors, they could stay and join the Emperor Foundation, receiving a qi and blood pill daily, allowing them to progress purely through the pill.
As for why they didn't join the league...
Well...
Qin Luo expressed, "How could we dare to recklessly recruit for the league!"
Instead, what they were doing was making a change for the prosperous upswing of the warrior era!
Thus, Qin Luo had taken advantage of his position to request a bit of funding from the league.
They planned to transform an old, dilapidated area into a martial arts training base.
This area was the same old, run-down street where Tang Wenyu and her daughter Doudou once lived.
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo took the milk tea from Su Muwan's hands, causing her to blink in confusion.
"Uh...."
Slurp~
"Hey hey?"
Qin Luo took a sip, smacked his lips, and smiled at her. "Miss Su, you forget I have divine foresight, don't you?"
"Well..."
"Everything I do is in preparation for what is to come in the future."
"Milk tea..."
"After all..."
Qin Luo returned the milk tea, then rubbed Su Muwan's head, saying, "Miss Su must be looking forward to a peaceful life of snacking and drinking cola, right?"
Leaving aside the fact that I indeed prefer it that way.
But...
Su Muwan came back to her senses. Looking at the half-drunk milk tea taken by Qin Luo, she felt embarrassed and shouted, "How dare you, Qin Luo! You're getting more and more audacious!"
"In broad daylight, you..."
Qin Luo blinked innocently. "Miss Su, what do you mean?"
"You're taking liberties with your own young mistress!"
Su Muwan's face turned slightly red as she glared at Qin Luo, exclaiming, "Rogue! The servant of the Su family is about to usurp the master!"
If this were to be filmed by some paparazzi and edited into a clip...
Oh!
How embarrassing!
Qin Luo blinked again, expressing his loyalty, "Miss Su, as a servant, I was only testing the poison for you."
"Moreover..."
At that moment, Qin Luo leaned close to Su Muwan's ear, blowing warm breath as he teased, "Don't you like it, Miss Su?"
"Or perhaps..."
"You don't enjoy being treated this way by just a mere servant, Miss Su?"
Upon hearing this...
"......"
"Hmph!!"
Su Muwan's face flushed red as she let out a soft humph, continuing to sip her milk tea with a slightly red face.
What is this? It's like the content of those 18+ forbidden love stories I've read!
A forbidden romance between a servant and his young mistress...
Su Muwan glanced at Qin Luo.
Well...
It doesn't seem bad.
Maybe I'll use this plot tonight..... Huh?
As Su Muwan thought about it, her eyes widened.
Wait a minute.
No, that's not right.
If I'm already with Qin Luo, why do I still have to use water magic by myself every night?
Does that make sense?
Of course, I'm not saying that the purpose of being with Qin Luo is just for this.
But...
Su Muwan thought intently: Human beings are human beings because they have an insatiable desire for exploration.
They want to learn knowledge they've never encountered before.
Slurp, slurp, slurp~~~
This is not my problem; it's human instinct!
Still...
Su Muwan tossed the milk tea aside, sinking into deep thought.
Wouldn't this make Qin Luo think I'm some kind of perverted woman...?
But... if we really did... hehehe...
[Loyalty +1]
[Loyalty +2]
Qin Luo stood nearby, somewhat puzzled as he watched Su Muwan, whose little head was filled with unclear thoughts.
What has Miss Su been thinking about this time?
Alicia and the others observed Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
Huh.
These two must definitely be together.
As the half-day passed quickly, Chen Gong handed a qi and blood pill to Aunt Liu, who had just finished shopping and stopped by to collect her pill. She repeated the words he had said tens of thousands of times already.
"Would you like to join Miss Su's forces?"
"I would!"
[Effect of Unifying the Army Activated!]
[Aunt Liu's Loyalty Raised to 100%, Never to Betray]
[Effect of Unifying the Army: (United Hearts, Collective Effort, All Loyalty Levels to Joining Forces Increased to 100%, Never to Betray)]
Truthfully, Chen Gong didn't understand why Brother Luo required him to ask such a question to everyone coming to collect their qi and blood pills.
After all...
What one says and what one thinks in their heart are two different things.
Su Muwan, feeling bored and yawning, tugged at Qin Luo's arm, swaying back and forth as her eyes blinked at him, saying, "Qin Luo, it's so boring, so boring. Let's go, okay?"
You know, honestly speaking.
This young mistress of mine was forced to listen to "Would you like to join Miss Su's forces?"
over and over again, all day.
Don't they think I know whether they want to or not?
Qin Luo, hearing this, glanced at the current data.
[Current Number of People in Our Force: 2.01 Million]
Jiang City's population isn't large; even by martial year 66612, it only totals around 5 million people.
With manpower, material, and financial resources dedicated to a city-wide warrior awakening ceremony, a single day being able to attract 2 million people already feels like an unexpected blessing.
Qin Luo roughly estimated that it would take about five days for the entire city of Jiang to join forces under Su Muwan.
Heh.
His lips slightly curled up, a gleam of mischief in his eyes.
The era of the end of magic is nearing its end.
A new era is about to begin.
The system is upgrading...
Soon.
Another thrilling event is about to unfold.
As Qin Luo thought this, he leaned down and whispered softly into Su Muwan's ear, "Miss Su, soon you'll have something fun to watch again."
At these words...
? ? ?
Su Muwan, who had been somewhat sleepy just moments ago, suddenly perked up.
She turned to look at the smiling Qin Luo.
Qin Luo smiled, life and death uncertain.
This... this...
Can't be, right?
Could it be!
Su Muwan's pupils contracted. Is another major event about to unfold?
For example... the destined individuals from the previous life that have yet to appear in this life?!
But...
Su Muwan took a deep breath, gradually calming down.
Relax, Su Muwan.
The even more extraordinary destined individuals from the previous life appeared three years later.
We've already taken care of all the ranked T0 destined individuals I've encountered so far.
There's no need to worry anymore!
So!
Su Muwan, it's fine! It's fine! Everything's fine!
Enjoy your peaceful life!
Even if more destined individuals appear in three more years, as long as Qin Luo and I stay out of their way, everything will be fine, right?
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
