Bro, Here's a Hundred

"It can't be taken away. This technique can only be learned by the Gonggong clan."

Xu Mu shrugged his shoulders.

Guan Liu nodded to himself. "It's true that some top-tier techniques have many restrictions. You can exchange contact information with Guan Xian, and then you two can leave."

"Thank you."

Xu Mu took out his phone and exchanged numbers with Guan Xian.

Afterward, he left with Shi Fumeng, both vanishing from the spot.

"Guan Xian, I know you might feel a little upset inside, but all of this is for the sake of our race."

Guan Liu looked at Guan Xian. "I'm quite good at reading people. This Xu Mu isn't a bad person. Marrying him should be a good outcome for you."

"You flatter me, Elder. With a genius like him, countless women must be throwing themselves at him. Even if I wanted to marry him, he'd have to agree."

Guan Xian said softly, "I think my goal right now is to get stronger quickly. Only by becoming powerful can I keep pace with someone like him."

…...

Xu Mu and Shi Fumeng left the ruins together, walking up from the river.

Shi Fumeng broke into smiles from time to time. She didn't even know when she had last been this happy.

"It's just a divine-grade technique. Look at how happy you are."

Xu Mu glanced at Shi Fumeng.

"Getting the technique does make me happy, but what makes me even happier is that you risked your life to protect me."

Shi Fumeng walked with her hands behind her back, hopping along beside Xu Mu. "You're such a fool. Aren't you afraid I'll trick you again?"

"If I get tricked again, it's my own fault."

Xu Mu said that out loud, but he actually felt a lot lighter inside.

The main thing was that the threat to his head was gone, and he'd gotten a free divine-grade technique out of it.

However, this technique was different from the ones he got through the lottery.

The techniques from the lottery were mastered instantly, but this divine-grade technique required cultivation.

Xu Mu planned to study it first. If it was strong enough, he would definitely learn it. If it was only average, he would skip it.

"Don't worry. I won't deceive you again."

Shi Fumeng smiled at Xu Mu. "From now on, I'm yours. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west."

"But you can go south or north. I never trust a woman's words."

Xu Mu glanced at Shi Fumeng and then asked, "What are your plans after this?"

"What else? Find a place to cultivate this technique. The next time we meet, I'll be a master."

Shi Fumeng clenched her fist tightly.

Xu Mu asked, "Do you still need me to send you back?"

"No need. I'll find a spot nearby to cultivate. I'm not going back to Jiangnan."

Shi Fumeng shook her head. "The reason I went there was mainly because of Yue Wangshu and her subordinates. Now I don't plan to follow her anymore."

"Alright, then we'll part ways here."

Xu Mu nodded lightly.

"Let's exchange contact info first. You deleted and blocked me before, so I couldn't reach you."

Shi Fumeng took out her phone and waved it at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu also took out his phone, and the two added each other again.

After they parted, Xu Mu headed down the dirt path between the fields, planning to fly the helicopter back.

…...

Back in Jiang City.

It wasn't dark yet. Solving the problem of the technique in his head within a single day was pretty fast.

Xu Mu parked the helicopter at the estate, then got into his car. He didn't leave right away; instead, he planned to do the lottery draw.

This time, he had saved up enough for four sets of ten consecutive draws, mainly because Shi Fumeng had dropped some loot today too.

He clicked the wheel, and it began to spin. The rewards appeared one by one.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining storage space.]

…...

Xu Mu nodded slightly. Overall, it wasn't bad, and they were all things he needed right now.

Especially the storage space. Many of the ruins he'd visited had spirit stones, and it was a shame he couldn't haul them all away sometimes.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Box of Fifth-Grade Heavenly Treasures.]

…...

The first round of ten consecutive draws ended. Aside from the storage space and the box, the rest were basic rewards. It was acceptable.

He immediately started the second round.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the title of Eighth-Grade Array Master.]

"Holy crap!"

Xu Mu was secretly shocked. This was a great find. He had already become an Eighth-Grade Alchemist some time ago, but his progress in arrays had been slow.

Especially lately, when he'd visited more ruins with those flashy and troublesome arrays.

His array proficiency had finally improved.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining an Earth-Grade mental technique, Thousand-Juncture Slash.]

…...

Seeing this Earth-Grade technique, mental one at that, Xu Mu couldn't be bothered to learn it. He'd rather give it to someone close to him.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

…...

After that, it was all basic rewards again.

Xu Mu felt lucky today, so he continued with another set of ten consecutive draws.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

…...

…...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

The third round of ten consecutive draws ended—nothing but basic rewards.

If this kept up, his progress toward breaking through the Mortal Realm would slow down significantly.

He immediately started the fourth round.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Treasure: Golden Crow Fruit.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Treasure: Thick Earth Essence.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Treasure: Ice Glow Stone.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Treasure: Golden Marrow Bamboo.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Treasure: Myriad Forms Green Vine.]

…...

"Holy crap?"

Xu Mu stared at the screen in disbelief. Was the system malfunctioning today?

Ninth-Grade Heavenly Treasures, one after another?

And they were all of different attributes—essential treasures for stepping into the Breakthrough Realm.

Each of these items was priceless. Some people would even trade rare divine medicines for them.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

…...

The last draw ended. The best reward this time was the Eighth-Grade Array Master.

Overall, it was pretty good. There were 35 basic draws, 570 cultivation points, and 320 attribute points.

He added all the attribute points, feeling his body grow stronger again.

When everything was done, he opened his interface to take a look.

Name: Xu Mu

Role: Villainous Saintly Physique, President of Xu Corporation

Realm: Grandmaster Perfection

Physique: 2850

Spirit: 2850

Cultivation Points: 1520 (Max: 1600)

Destiny Power: 3432

Seeing this, Xu Mu clenched his fist with excitement. He was almost at the Mortal-Transcending Realm.

Having multiple heroines was great—one gives points here, another gives points there, and soon the justice points would pile up.

Xu Mu started the car and drove out of the estate, planning to do another ten consecutive draws. To enter the Mortal-Transcending Realm, he urgently needed justice points.

Suddenly, from the side of the estate gate, a little elementary school girl walked out, startling Xu Mu into slamming on the brakes.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

He saw a girl in a sportswear, with two braids hanging down, her hair tied up like braids draped in front, and fluffy bangs on both sides of her face. She looked very cute.

The elementary school student stood frozen in front of the car, clearly terrified.

"Hey there, little sis, you okay?"

Xu Mu walked over with a smile, gently ruffled her hair, and said, "Sorry, big bro was in a hurry and didn't have my senses... I mean, I wasn't paying attention. Here, take a hundred bucks and go buy some spicy snacks."
