“Ding! Detected a change in the plot, reward system points: 3,000!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host! The system has met the upgrade conditions and has automatically upgraded to the Unbeatable System!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You are now unbeatable…”
Lying in bed at home, Wei Changtian muttered to himself nonstop.
Each “ding” carried his ardent hopes as a transmigrator.
From noble mtl dot come
Unfortunately, the system interface remained the same, displaying 55 remaining system points.
He had only gained 50 points after “descending” the fox demon.
Was Yang Liushi really that insignificant? Or were women in online novels not important?
That didn’t make sense, though. Why did Lu Jingyao give him 300 points?
Their screen time was almost the same.
Could it be because… there was a difference between “heart” and “mouth” submission?
Judging from Lu Jingyao’s recent performance, she seemed to be acknowledging her own abilities, but not fully convinced.
On the other hand, Yang Liushi was clearly convinced, but not acknowledging it.
So that’s how it was!
Wei Changtian suddenly realized, and immediately cursed in his heart.
Damn this trash system!
Why make things so complicated?
Other people’s systems aren’t even invincible, and now they’re already dominating the small map, but yours is so low-key!
What’s the point of having you?
After a frenzy of complaints, Wei Changtian finally calmed down and began to think about the gains and losses of the night.
Although the three small goals before departure were all completed, the result was only half-joy and half-sorrow.
He never expected that Xiao Feng would find Yang Liushi ahead of time.
If the mysterious protective amulet that appeared earlier was the will of heaven protecting Xiao Feng, then what about now?
This was clearly Xiao Feng’s subjective behavior!
Not only was the timing earlier than in the book, but some details had also changed.
The more Wei Changtian thought, the more confused he became.
The butterfly effect, the variability of fate, the rise and fall of fortune… all these combined to make the wheel of fate in the dark move towards an uncontrollable direction.
Wei Changtian even felt that even if Xu Qingwan suddenly recognized Xiao Feng tomorrow, he wouldn’t be surprised at all.
It was likely that his ability to “foresee the unknown” would soon become weaker.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down.
It wasn’t time for that yet, and at least for now, everything was still under control…
“King Two!”
In the darkness, Wei Changtian suddenly sat up in bed and shouted.
The door was quickly pushed open.
“What is it, young master?”
“Find someone to investigate the Xuantian Society, Xiao Feng might be mixed in with them.”
“And tomorrow, quietly send a mother-child jade to Yang Liushi, she’ll know when to contact me.”
“Is that all?”
“Go rest, you too.”
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian lay back down to sleep, deciding to leave the unclear things for later.
But just then, Wang Er’s slightly surprised voice suddenly came over.
“Madam?”
“Yes, I came to talk to you about something.”
“Okay, I’ll leave.”
Wang Er quickly retreated, and Lu Jingyao lit a candle and sat down at the table.
“Why are you still awake so late?”
Wei Changtian sighed and sat up again: “Can’t it wait till tomorrow?”
“You…”
Lu Jingyao looked up, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked in a very tangled and soft voice: “What did you do tonight?”
“What’s it to you?”
Wei Changtian yawned: “Why ask that?”
Lu Jingyao didn’t respond, instead, she further specified the question: “Did you go to a brothel?”
“Hmm?”
Wei Changtian was taken aback, not because he felt guilty, but simply because he was surprised that Lu Jingyao knew about this.
Could it be that my glorious deeds of poetry, kicking Lv Zongliang, and bringing back a beauty have spread so quickly?
Without denying it, he casually asked, “How did you know?”
“Y-you…”
Lu Jingyao’s chest heaved heavily, and it took her a while to stare at him with big eyes and give an answer.
“There’s the scent of another woman on you!”
…
…
The next day, Lu Jingyao didn’t eat breakfast again.
Wei Changtian had already discovered her habit of not eating when she was angry.
He didn’t know what good it did for her to act like this.
After eating, he went to find Wei Xianzhi and told him about almost kicking Lv Zongliang to death the night before, then went to the Hanging Mirror Agency for a workout.
Today, Xu Qingwan didn’t show up, so there was a private lesson available.
It was the same martial arts room, where Wei Changtian was practicing his footwork and jumping techniques. Xu Qingwan watched for a while before suddenly asking, “Your breath is unstable, and your footsteps are floating. What did you do yesterday?”
“…”
Great, was everyone a renowned detective?
Wei Changtian stopped moving, feeling a bit embarrassed as he touched his nose, “I drank a bit too much last night…”
“Oh.”
Xu Qingwan didn’t think much of it, only seriously advising, “Since you’re practicing martial arts, it’s better to drink less on a daily basis.”
“I know.”
It was rare for Xu Qingwan to show concern, and Wei Changtian didn’t refute, instead, he changed the topic.
“How do you think my current martial arts skills are? When can I start practicing fist and foot techniques or weapons?”
“Hmm…”
Xu Qingwan thought for a moment, nodding in approval, “You’ve already mastered the Fuyao Step in less than half a month. You truly have the highest martial arts talent I’ve ever seen.”
“As for fist and foot techniques and weapons… you can try, but our Xu family doesn’t have good techniques to teach you.”
“I’ll take care of that!”
Wei Changtian thought to himself, you don’t have what I have, and when the time comes, we can practice together and it’ll be wonderful.
“The Wei family doesn’t lack these things. I’ll go find some suitable ones when I get back, and we can learn together!”
Xu Qingwan was taken aback, shaking her head, “I’m afraid I won’t learn as fast as you…”
“Then I’ll teach you!”
“Why don’t you find a teacher from your own family to learn from?”
“Heh, you’re speaking nonsense.”
Wei Changtian pulled out today’s tuition from his sleeve, “This money isn’t given to just anyone, and we shouldn’t let outsiders benefit from our wealth!”
“Oh…”
When she saw the silver note, Xu Qingwan’s gaze changed immediately.
She carefully took it and put it in her chest, only then realizing that, compared to the Wei family’s teacher, she was the “outsider”.
Looking at Wei Changtian’s smiling face, Xu Qingwan was about to speak, but suddenly became serious and closed her mouth.
The two of them exchanged a glance, simultaneously reaching into their waists and pulling out two identical silver-edged jade tokens shaped like willow leaves.
It’s alive!
……
In the spacious hall, Wei Changtian saw that bald-headed Kong Changgui again, with Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng, who had accompanied him to record the register, standing beside him.
The three of them were all Silver Leaf members, and such a lineup in the Liu Ye organization was considered luxurious. However, it also represented the formidable demonic creatures they would face in this mission!
Wei Changtian wasn’t afraid.
After all, he had that inner armor, and as long as he didn’t encounter a hundred-year-old great demon, at least his life wouldn’t be in danger.
But since it was his first mission, he still needed to be extremely cautious!
Wei Changtian was very careful, and Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng also had serious expressions.
The three of them didn’t say a word, looking at Kong Changgui, and then they heard the latter slowly say:
“The Shanyang County government has sent a message, saying that a village under their jurisdiction has reported encountering a demonic horde. The county officials have already conducted a preliminary investigation, and you will head out to handle it immediately.”
“This is the case file.”
Demonic horde?
Upon hearing these words, the three of them were shocked.
How long had it been since a demonic horde appeared in the Da Ning realm?
With utmost seriousness, Wei Changtian took the case file, unfolded it on the table, and looked at it together with Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng.
Then, the three of them had increasingly uneasy expressions.
Wild chicken demons?
Average cultivation of less than five years?
A total of around ten?
And two of them had already been killed by the local villagers?
“……”
It seemed that this was a matter of human sentiment.
