《Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World》 Chapter 1 Florida Man Gets Isekaied, Pollutes New World ?Chapter 1 C Florida Man Gets Isekaied, Pollutes New World "50,000 years already. Time really flies." Tampa, Florida, the iconic city of an ancient civilization had be a decayed town. High-rise buildings turned into rubbles. Beautiful white sands in the past were reced with contaminated white ash. Rusty cars with melted tires no longer had an owner and were covered in radiated snow. The thick white clouds in the sky were not rain clouds but ash, blocking the sunlight and the warmth of nature. The temperature was so cold that the green sea was frozen solid. Despite the harsh nature of the nuclear winter, a lone elderly Caucasian man stood there, gazing at the beach and reminiscing about the past glory of mankind. Leo was 6''3 and toned. However, his pale withered skin, messy white full beard, and long gray hair had never touched water for the past 50,000 years. Even his ragged and dusty makeshift clothes were over 1,000 years old. He was thest survivor on Earth, but he was no longer a human. Leo was a 50,000-year-old immortal mutant. Leo walked toward the frozen sea. He lightly stomped it and caused a huge crack. Then, he picked up a shard of contaminated ice and put it in his mouth. It tasted like burnt stic, but Leo nonchntly chewed and swallowed it. DING Leo bitterly smiled at the floating blue screen in front of him, projected from the clear golden ring that he had picked up from an alien spaceship when he was a human. He deeply sighed. "What''s the point of having an infinite lifespan in this decayed world? It''s not like I''m going to sit here for zillion years and wait for the Sun to swallow Earth." The system was a curse to Leo. He could not die as long as his lifespan was higher than one. Every time hemitted suicide, his body automatically regenerated and self-resurrected. SCREECH! A disfigured giant spider broke theyers of the frozen ocean and pounced on Leo. Thetter nced at the spider and raised his left arm, letting it bite him. The spider gnawed Leo''s forearm while thetter dully stared at it. A few secondster, the mutated giant spider screeched and let go of Leo. The monster''s mouth foamed and copsed on the ground, dead. Leo patted his arm. His wounds were instantly healed, and no scar was left on his skin. Unfortunately, his withered skin could not be smoothened. "Haiz. So boring," Leo continued gazing at the dested frozen sea andined. KWAAAAAAA! Another monster emerged. This time, a 50-meter-tall green Godzi broke out of the sea and charged toward Leo. It raised hisrge foot and stomped him. Leo dully stared at the iing monster. He calmly jabbed with a light punch. Leo''s fist and Godzi''s foot collided! BOOM The punch created a massive hole in the monster''s foot and punctured through its knee and body. Leo briefly nced at the sky through the hole in the monster''s body and looked away. The Godzi fell back to the sea. It stopped moving, dead. "Goodbye, big guy. I will never eat you again. I''m leaving this world for good!" After getting rid of the Godzi, Leo shifted his attention to the system menu in front of him. He touched the floating blue screen and swiped it. He pressed a tab in the menu. [Lifespan Shop] An online shopping menu popped up next to the original screen. Leo shifted his attention to the new window and changed the sorting menu in the top right corner. [Sorting]: [Price from the Highest to Lowest] The menu was refreshed and the items on the shopping screen showed an image of a green. It came with a description. [Transmigration to Random] [Price: 2,147,483,647 Years of Lifespan] Leo bitterly smiled. The item required all of his lifespans to purchase, yet he put the item in the cart anyway. "With this, I can finally go somewhere else. Goodbye, world." He confirmed the purchase and paid the price. DING Leo bitterly smiled as he still have something left in the tank. A year was enough for him to regain his lifespan back. He stomped the frozen sea again. Then, he picked up as many ice shards and started eating. DING Within a minute, Leo managed to eat three mouthfuls of ice shards. However, the freebie time ran out. His body slowly dissipated into dust. . . *CHIRP* Leo slowly opened his eyes, awakening from his deep slumber because of the nostalgic chirping noises of wild birds. He was greeted by the ray of sunlight and the greenish scent of wild grasses. "Sunlight birds?" He jolted and sat up. Then, he looked around. Upon discovering that he was no longer on the nuclear winter, Leo shed tears of joy. He prostrated and kissed the ground. Then, he stood up and embraced the nearest pine tree. "LIFE! THERE IS LIFE!" He hadn''t realized yet that everything he touched ckened, and he was naked. Leo ran around in the unknown woods, chasing after birds, insects, rabbits, and wild rats. Then, he identally stepped on a rattlesnake. SHAAA! It bit his ankle! Leo sensed the pricking pain from his left ankle. He looked down and found the angry rattlesnake, whose fangs failed to cut into his skin. "Oh, silly you. You shouldn''t have done that. My blood, skin, and flesh are kinda toxic. No one survived after biting me." It was toote for the snake. Its color suddenly darkened, and it swelled. The long smooth body instantly became disfigured. BOOM It exploded, scattering ck flesh and blood everywhere. On the other hand, Leo crouched and scratched his ankle as the venom irritated his skin. The scattered meat swelled and grew bigger. The grasses and soil that got contact with the snake''s blood and flesh also turned ck. As if the polluted soil and grasses were contagious, the surrounding nts darkened. Fortunately, the spread stopped after a minute. Some of the grasses turned blue and contained the spread to a limited area. Leo was relieved. His heart skipped a beat for a moment when the contaminated blood of the snake killed the surrounding nts. ''That was close. I should be more careful.'' Leo picked up the meat and uprooted the contaminated nts. He put them in his mouth and slowly ate them raw. DING Leo ate everything that had the potential to spread the contamination. Tree branches, roots, ck meat, dead leaves, and worms in the soil were no exception. . . An hourter, Leo finished his first meal. All contaminated nts and mutated snake''s flesh were gone, except the ck soil. He rechecked his current status. Leo was relieved. His lifespan rebounded a bit, and it was enough to purchase some daily necessities. He opened the shop menu and checked the online grocery store. [T-Shirt] C One Year of Lifespan [Jeans] C One Year of Lifespan [Sneakers] C Two Years of Lifespan [Brief Boxer] C One Year of Lifespan [A Pair of Socks] C One Year of Lifespan Leo bitterly smiled. The modern good that he could easily get 50,000 years ago cost him six years of lifespan. His total bnce dropped to 43 after he pressed the checkout button. WHOOSH A cardboard box manifested out of nothingness. Leo opened it and found the items that he had ordered earlier. He put them on to maintain his decencies. As for the used cardboard box, it vanished after the items inside had been taken. After getting his clothes, Leo thought of the days he spent trying to collect the zillion lifespan for this transmigration. He shed a tear of joy. "No more frugal life. I can just use my lifespan to buy the things I need! But there is a problem" Leo was aware of his weaknesses. He couldn''t gain lifespan by consuming regr food C Only contaminated food could increase his lifespan. He looked at the dark soil. He pondered for a while if he should start contaminating this world to increase his lifespan or if he should spend the remaining years like an ordinary human. After thinking for a few minutes, Leo threw the second idea outside the window. He had second thought. "I don''t even know what kind of ce this is. I''ll find a water source first, and I''ll build a shelter next." Leo skipped and danced in the forest, enjoying the song of nature. Because of his good mood, he kicked the ground and jumped 1,000 meters high. Then, he looked around while he was in mid-air, scouting the geography of this world. While he was in the sky, he noticed twondmarks. To the west, there was arge town. The high city walls and fortified moats indicated that the wilderness might be full of danger, or their neighbors might be hostile. To the north, a massive river flowed from west to east. From a rough estimation, Leo believed that the river was at least five kilometers wide,rger than the Yellow River of China. Noticeably, a glowing rainbow bridge connected the north and south bank together. Leo spotted over a thousand people crossing the magical bridge by using flying ships. "Wow, people!" Realizing that he was no longer alone, Leo firmly believed in his life choice. He stopped looking around. Then, he searched for a small river or a smallke. It wasn''t hard to find them. Leo found a stream east of his location. BOOM Leo fell to the ground andnded on his feet, causing a small crater. He stood up and rubbed his knees for a moment, resting his bones and kneecaps. He then traveled east, heading to his next destination. Chapter 2 Florida Man Digs Catholes In Archaeological Sites ?Chapter 2 a Florida Man Digs Catholes in Archaeological Sites Aurora Light followed Leo''s footsteps. As he journeyed toward the small stream to the east, the green grasses that he had stepped on ckened. Then, the ck grasses spread, changing half of the grasses to ck while the rest turned blue. Leo finally reached the stream. The water was so clear that he could see small fishes and rocks underneath. As he hadn''t drunk any natural water for 50,000 years, Leo reached out to scoop the water. Before Leo touched the surface of the water, he pulled his hand back. Then, he smacked his forehead. "No, I can''t touch it directly, or everything downstream will die." Leo opened the online shopping menu. He purchased a hazmat suit, gloves, and boots, spending three precious years of his lifespan. He wore the protection gear and bought a gallon-sized stic bottle from the shop, costing him additional two years of his life. Then, he started collecting the freshwater. While he was at it, he checked the cost of mineral water in the shop. [1-Litre Water] a One Year of Lifespan It was not worth it. It was too expensive. Unlike the previous world, where mineral water no longer existed, this world had plenty of water resources. Therefore, Leo didn''t need to waste his lifespan on consumable items anymore. After scooping water with the gloves and drinking until his belly was round, Leo let out a long sigh of satisfaction. 50,000 years of struggling made freshwater so delicious, more delicious than refined beers! With a full stomach, Leo recollected his thoughts. "What''s next? Right, survival! What are the basic necessities? Food, water, meds, shelter, and clothes, of course. Food, water, and clothes are no longer an issue. Meds aren''t needed since my entire body is immune to cancer and sickness. Okay, I need shelter and modern tools." Instead of going to the wild to make tools from wood or stone, Leo browsed the shopping menu, looking for survival tools. . An hourter, Leo finished shopping. He looked at a green modern cabin tent, a gas stove, a gas tank, a set of stainless steel pots, cooking utensils, and a camping chair. He gazed at his new home and his lifespan menu. 45 years of his life were gone just like that, but it was worth it. "I''m tired of farming lifespan. I hate eating polluted sand and mud." Leo took off his gloves and pulled some green grasses near his campsite. As soon as his skin touched the grasses, they turned ck. Without hesitation, Leo put the grasses in his mouth and chewed it. It tasted like spicy cardboard, but he endured with it. Although Leo felt like he devolved into a cow or an herbivore, he enthusiastically chewed the food and continued to uproot the nearby weeds. DING The reward was worth the effort. Every strand of grasses gave Leo one year of lifespan. While Leo was stocking ck grasses, he uprooted a strange weed. Its root looked like humanoid ginseng, but it wiggled. The infant-like root opened its eyes and stared at Leo. It opened its mouth and screamed. RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Leo''s ears were numb. In anger, he spat at the infant-like root. "Taste the radiation spit, punk!" As soon as the spit hit the mandrake, it stopped crying. Its brown roots and skin turned ck, and its belly swelled. POP The mandrake''s belly erupted. Then, a thousand long thin roots gushed out as if they were newborn earthworms bursting out of someone''s stomach. They lengthened by a meter before they stopped growing. Just like that, Leo secured a strange mutated mandrake that grew roots from its stomach. Leo inspected the new food. He flipped it around and waited for it toe to life. However, it didn''t self-resurrect like the other zombies and mutated animals on Earth. "Oh, well. Food is food." CHOMP Indiscriminately, Leo plucked a long root and put it in his mouth. As soon as he chewed it, juicy ck liquid sttered in his mouth. It tasted like a margarita cocktail! Leo widened his eyes. For the first time after a long while, he discovered a new delicacy. He sat there, eating the whole mandrake. . . 30 minutester, Leo was full and drunk. For the first time in his life, he enjoyed a beverage meal. Leo looked at the mandrake in his hands. A round orb-like seed was left after the meal. "You damn pearl. My teeth are sore because of you!" As Leo couldn''t eat or chew that thing, he tossed it to a basket next to his tent like he was shooting a basketball to a hoop. CLANK SCORED! Leo giggled, enjoying a little thing in life. He walked toward the basket, wondering if he should use it as a trash bin or a stockpile for random seeds. GROWL As Leo ate too much, his stomach rumbled. At that moment, Leo remembered that he hadn''t set up an outhouse yet. In the apocalyptic world, Leo never had an issue since there were plenty of toilets in abandoned houses and buildings. But here, there was no such thing. Leo smacked his forehead and opened the shopping menu. He purchased a shovel, costing him two years of lifespan. Then, he searched for a barren and secluded ce for a toilet. After walking 100 meters away from his campsite, he found a 5-meter-tall boulder. "Ah,ndmark! I can use this ce." Leo started scouting the surrounding area, making sure that no animal was using this rock as its home. After walking around the boulder, he spotted no creature. Although there was no living being around the area, Leo noticed something strange on the rock a One side was t. On the t part of the boulder, there were strange Chinese characters that Leo couldn''t read.I think you should take a look at "Wut da hail are dees moon runes?" Leo muttered in Uncle Roger''s ent. Leo admired the unknown writing for several minutes. Although the boulder gave off a mysterious vibe, he disregarded it as it was irrelevant to his life. Leo looked at the ground in front of the boulder. No grasses or nts grew around here. Moreover, he saw traces of footsteps as if several people used toe here and had a dance party. Curious, Leo tested the ground with a shovel, wondering if the soil was soft enough to dig. SOEK Leo forgot how strong he was. After one soft push, his shovel pierced through the rocky and hard ground. "Oh, nice! Well, since this is the only ce without nts and grasses, I can use this ce as my designated pooping street!" Leo started working. He kept shoveling for hours until nightfall. . The sky was dark when Leo finished his job. He ended up digging 50 six-foot-deep rectangr holes and 200 small holes. The big burial holes were for his feces and the junk from the online shopping system. As for the small holes, they were for number two emergencies. Leo''s glowing red pupils saw through the darkness. He admired the holes around the boulder and remembered that he had an inedible pearl in his trash bin. He walked back to the camp and picked it up. Then, he tossed it into one of the small holes. "Lucky you. I don''t know if you''re a seed or a real pearl, but wait for tomorrow morning, ''kay?" Leoughed at the pearl. He looked forward to blessing it with his stool tomorrow. GROWL After working so hard, his stomach growled again. He sighed and rechecked his lifespan. "Huh?" He just noticed - The mandrake earlier granted him 100 years of lifespan instead of five or six years like other mutated creatures in his old world. "Wow. Are there more of those?" Leo was inspired. He started searching for more mandrakes or simr nts by pulling the weeds in the area. Like a madman, Leo didn''t sleep. He spent the night clearing green, blue, and ck nts and grasses around his campsite and boulder area. When the sun was up, Leo admired the piles of green weeds and two wiggling mandrakes that he had found. As he wore gloves and the hazmat suit, they hadn''t been mutated yet. He took off his helmet and spat the green grasses and the mandrakes. The weed turned ck instantly while the mandrakes screamed. Their stomach burst out ten thousand long roots before they died. "Hehehe. That''s a lot of breakfast!" Leo gathered the mutated nts and sat at his campsite. He enjoyed the chubby roots and the blue light around him. While eating, he wondered what the blue thing was. "This world is nice. It automatically contains the radiation around me." Leo spent the entire day at his camp. Because of the excitement, he forgot to take a dump. As a result, he failed to notice that the abandoned pearl earlier had sprouted a ck leaf. . . Magpie City, the Capital City of Magpie Province was located at the center of the Eastern Continent. It was a territory of the Phoenix Empire, backed by the Life Sword Sect and other major martial art organizations. At the east gate of Magpie City, a young man walked toward the checkpoint and showed the two armored guards a wooden nk token. The guards didn''t bother checking the token. They patted the 5''4-tall teenager''s head, "Hey, little Gao. Are you going out to train again?" Gao Yan was 16 years old this year. He wore the white robe uniform of the Life Sword Sect. However, the mark on his cor showed that he was still an outer disciple. His long ck hair, round eyes, and high nose weremon among the citizens, but the pimples on his face stood out from others. He carried a wooden sword and a short iron broadsword for protection. "Yeah, I''ll be going to the sword boulder again. Maybe if I''m lucky, I might find a few games." "What happened yesterday, by the way? We didn''t see you around." "My seniors asked me to do their chores. I was bullied! Just because I''m stuck at the muscle tempering stage, these guys are using me as their servants!" Gao Yan narrated how his outer disciple colleagues bullied him because of his low cultivation aptitude. Moreover, he was on the verge of being expelled from the sect as his outer sect ranking was at the bottom. The guard pitied him, "Don''t give up, junior. Bullying is bound to happen if you''re at the bottom of the food chain. Once you''ve advanced to the Qi Condensation Stage, everything will be better." "I know. That''s why I''m training hard." "Good luck, then. Come back before nightfall. At night, wolves and tigers usually roam in the woods. Even if you''re a muscle-tempering stage cultivator, they can still kill you." "I''ll keep that in mind." Gao Yan bid farewell to the town guards and leaped 50 meters high. Hended on a tree branch and jumped again, traveling east. Looking at the jumping teenager, the guards sighed. One of themmented. "It''s a pity that he has no aptitude. Otherwise, he would have been an inner disciple already." "Yeah. He''s already 16, but he''s stuck as an outer disciple. If he fails to reach the Qi Condensation Realm before he''s 18, he will be kicked out." "To be honest, the Life Sword Sect is more lenient. If it were other sects, he would have been sent home long ago." "True." Both men felt bad for the good boy. They wished heaven would bless Gao Yan with a fortuitous encounter or something simr. . Three hourster, Gao Yan found the mysterious boulder, aka his usual training spot. Gao Yan stood on top of a tall pine tree. He looked around if anybody was nearby. As usual, nobody was there. Gao Yan inwardlyughed at himself. "I don''t have enough spirit stones to buy the journal of sword saint. I can only read it from the source." This boulder was known as the sword saint''s journal. In ancient times, a legendary figure wrote how a swordsman should practice and train every day on this boulder. However, as it was over 1,000 years old, many cultivators had long discovered it and published the texts. Thus, every sect already possessed several copies of the records from various boulders, and many sword masters added annotations in the books for their disciples, making them more attractive than reading them from the source. Nobody came here to train around the boulder anymore. But everything changed that day. Gao Yan looked at the ground and found severalrge and small holes in front of the boulder. His jaw dropped. "Who the hell desecrate the Sword Saint?!" Chapter 3 Florida Man Imposing As Sage Scams Teenager ?Chapter 3 C Florida Man Imposing as Sage Scams Teenager Infuriated, Gao Yan started searching for the culprit. He checked the footprints on the ground, but the first things that attracted him were blue grasses. "Huh? S-S-Spirit Grasses?!" Gao Yan rushed to the nearest blue grasses at the edge of the in. He then looked left and right and plucked them, put them in his robes, andughed. "I can exchange these for spirit stones! No, I can actually eat them raw and absorb their Qi. If I umte enough Qi, I can break through from the Muscle Tempering Realm to the Qi Condensation Realm! Then, I won''t be kicked out anymore!" Overjoyed by the discovery, Gao Yan ran around and plucked more blue grasses. He got so many that his robes were bulky. An hourter, Gao Yan could no longer move as the grass in his clothes would fall off. He sat down to rearrange his treasure trove. Gao Yan took off his robes and pants. He tied them into makeshift bags and put the grass in them. After the packages were wrapped up, he put them next to the boulder and headed east, where the stream was located. He wanted to wash his hands and take a short bath to refresh himself. A few minutester, Gao Yan found the stream as he had expected. However, one noticeable campsite stood out like a sore thumb. In front of the tent, Gao Yan spotted a weird person in a yellowish bulky suit. He wore rubber-like gloves and boots, hiding his appearance. Next to the weird man, ck grasses and disfigured nts piled into a small mountain. Moreover, Gao Yan saw strange aurora lighting from the ck nts. "W-Who are you?!" Gao Yan reached for his iron sword, but he couldn''t find his weapon. He forgot that he had left them next to his clothes and blue grass. The man in bulky yellow cloth turned around, showing his face behind theyer of transparent mask. He was an elderly man with long white hair and a white full beard. Gao Yan estimated that he was in his 70s or 80s. The elder paused and sized up Gao Yan. He then noticed that Gao Yan only wore thong underwear. Gao Yan noticed the elder''s gaze. He covered his nipples in embarrassment. Afraid that the elder would mistake him for a weirdo, he shouted in panic. "T-This is a misunderstanding! I''m not a pervert!" "" The elder muttered something, but his muffled voice was iprehensible. Gao Yan couldn''t hear what he talked about. VRRRRRR Suddenly, Gao Yan heard a high-pitched sound. It was not the sound of birds or creatures but a strange ringing sound wave. Then, it followed with a bell sound. DING Gao Yan covered his ears with his hands by reflex. His eyes felt so hot that he thought they were burning. In pain, he knelt and screamed. "AAAAHHH!!" The painsted for a moment. When Gao Yan came to his senses, he found a series of floating words in front of him. . Name: Gao Yan Age: 16 Remaining Lifespan: 72 Years, 4 Months, 5 Days, 2 Hours, and 21 Minutes. . "W-What is this?!" Gao Yan never heard of the word "Lifespan" before. He could guess that it was rted to his life, but he couldn''t grasp its true meaning. Looking for an answer, he turned to the elder. Then, Gao Yan saw more floating words in front of the elder. The yellow-suited old man was busy poking at the empty air in front of him. "Ah, ah, testing, one two three" The elder''s voice was louder and clearer. Gao Yan could finally understand him. The mysterious man slowly took off his helmet, revealing his face. As soon as the yellow helmet came off, Gao Yan widened his eyes and knelt. He tremblingly cupped his fist in fear. Suppressive air and colorful aurora light emanated from the elder''s body. Moreover, the pressure was simr to the sect master of the Life Sword Sect. He was an expert! If a muscle-tempering realm cultivator was considered a 1st stage cultivator, this elder''s strength was at least the 6th-stage or higher! "J-Junior has eyes but failed to see Mount Tai! P-Please forgive this junior for disrespecting you!" Shouted Gao Yan. The elder dully stared at him. He frowned and scratched his head for a moment. "What are you talking about?" . . Leo was confused. This streaking teenager suddenly jumped out of a bush and showed up in front of his camp. Leo simply turned around and looked at him, but this guy had been yelling in iprehensiblenguage. He could tell that it was simr to the Chinesenguage, but some words sounded like Korean or Vietnamese. Because of thenguage barrier, Leo opened his shopping menu and searched for a trantion service or function. Unfortunately, the universal-trantion function for allnguages cost several million years of lifespan, which Leo couldn''t afford. Leo sorted the shop again. He filtered the item list, hoping to find an affordable recement for the feature. Then, he found something affordable. [Shop Feature]: 100 Years of Lifespan . Shop Feature Upon unlocking this feature, you can set up a shop domain. Anybody that enters your shop domain can view their remaining lifespan, and they can use them to trade with your items. This featurees with an auto-speech-trantion option, allowing you and your customers to converse and bargain as long as both parties are within the shop domain. This feature is upgradeable. . Leo purchased it right away even though he had no intention of opening any shop. It had been a long time since hest chatted with a human, so he invested his lifespan in the new feature. DING "Yes, please." DING A new window appeared in front of Leo. It showed a bird-eye view of his campsite, but lines of 3D grit showed the elevation and size of his ce. A green 1000x1000 grit dome appeared on the menu. Leo was reminded of a simtion game in the past. He slid the dome left and right, and the 1000x1000 grit in the menu moved ording to his finger. ''A shop has to be on tnd. Well, nothing around here is t.'' Testing the feature, Leo hovered the dome over a portion of the forest, away from the stream. However, the dome remained green, allowing Leo to ce it there. ''Interesting. How about here?'' Leo moved it over his tent. It was buildable here. However, it could not cover the stream. As Leo couldn''t assign the area over the stream, he moved it back slightly to the west. Then, he pressed confirm. DINGI think you should take a look at The 1,000,000 square meters, aka one square kilometer area that Leo picked turned green for a moment in the menu, but nothing changed in the real world. Leo coughed and tested his voice. "Ah, ah, testing, one two three" Upon confirming that he could still speak an understandable humannguage, Leo turned to the young man in thong underwear. Then, he was taken aback. He saw the floating lifespan status of Gao Yan. ''Whoa. This is interesting.'' As the hazmat suit veil blurred his vision, Leo unzipped the helmet to get a clearer look. But when he took off his helmet, Gao Yan knelt. "J-Junior has eyes but failed to see Mount Tai! P-Please forgive this junior for disrespecting you!" "Hah?" Leo frowned. He epted the fact that he was a 50,000-year-old mutated Florida man, but this young man was a weirdo. Kneeling was unnecessary. "What are you talking about?" Asked Leo. . . Gao Yan sweated profusely. He feared for his life as the elder''s tone seemed unfriendly to him. His instinct switched to survivor mode. Gao Yan apologized and lowered his head. "I-I-If I offended you, please forgive me!" "Eh, stop apologizing. It''s not like you step on my foot." The elder snorted and picked his ears. Then, he stared at the thong underwear. "By the way, how long are you going to stay half-naked? Where are your clothes?" "I-I''M SO SORRY, SENIOR! I''LL GET MY CLOTHES RIGHT NOW!" Gao Yan kicked the ground and ran for his life. A few minutester, he returned and knelt in front of the elder. He wore his uniform this time, but his clothes were covered in blue grasses and dirt. "I''m back, senior!" The elder remained silent. Gao Yan slowly looked up to see the elder''s face and found the floating texts about his lifespan floating in front of him. After a minute of awkward silence, the elder uttered, "Since you''re here, do you want to buy my weed?" "W-Weed, senior?" "I want to test out my shop domain, I mean, the lifespan trading system. See the ck weeds behind me?" The elder pointed at the mountain of ck grasses and strange roots. Gao Yan looked at them and gulped. Although he wasn''t sure if they were valuable, they emitted a strong aura simr to the old man. "I don''t have any spirit stone on me, senior." As Gao Yan was poor, he reluctantly declined the offer. He also regretted that he wasn''t born rich as the other disciples in the sect. "I don''t need stones. I want your lifespan." "Eh?!" Gao Yan was stunned. "Do you see the floating lifespan in front of you?" "Y-Yes, senior." "How about it? I have a thousand weeds over here. I''ll sell them for cheap! One of them for one year of your lifespan!" "" Gao Yan rechecked his lifespan. Seeing that he had 72 years to live, he decided to give it away to the elder. After all, he could have wasted it anyway. ''What''s the point of having a long lifespan if the elder suddenly decides to kill me? I should y along and get out of here alive.'' After resolving himself, Gao Yan agreed, "Yes, senior. Please allow me to buy one of your herbs. I''ll pay with my lifespan!" "Just one?!" The elder''s expression darkened in dissatisfaction. "O-One is enough, please." "Tsk!" The elder pressed something invisible in front of him. Suddenly, Gao Yan heard a soothing female voice. "Huh?" A bundle of withered ck grasses floated toward Gao Yan. Thetter grabbed them but almost tossed them away. It was burning hot! Suddenly, Gao Yan recalled the ss of herbology. One of the instructors used to show an image of legendary grasses that could only be found in mystic realms. He wondered if they were the mystic grasses in the textbooks. Gao Yan mustered his courage to ask the old man. "S-Senior. What are these grasses?" The elder smirked, "My snacks. What else?" "" Half of Gao Yan''s mind screamed that he was scammed. However, the other half scolded him that he just had a fortuitous encounter, and he should thank the senior. Gao Yan listened to his second instinct. He prostrated on the ground. "Thank you for your kindness, senior! This junior will treasure it!" "Meh, just take it and go home. Make sure to leave it in freezing water to dilute it. If you eat it raw, you''ll swell and die." "" Gao Yan bit his lower lips. He remembered the advice and collected the ck grasses and blue grasses. He deeply bowed and left the campsite. . . After Gao Yan had left, Leo''s expression turned dark as he red at the system menu. "I lost 100 years just to get themunication perk. Talk about an investment. Tsk!" Leo grumbled to himself for several minutes. Suddenly, he felt like he had forgotten something important. He muttered. "Err, those radioactive grasses won''t kill the boy, right? Does leaving it in cold water help?" Chapter 4 Florida Man Defecates In Archeological Site, Covers His Stool With Ancient Mural ?Chapter 4 a Florida Man Defecates in Archeological Site, Covers His Stool with Ancient Mural Gao Yan endured the burning pain and carried the bundle of ck grasses in his clothes. He also brought some of the blue grasses back. Upon arrival at the city gate, the two guards were surprised to see Gao Yan back so early. "You''re fast. Did you run into a wild beast?" Asked one of the guards. "N-No. I ran into a strong senior. I-I need to go back to the dorm quick!" "I see. Go then." The guards let him in. Gao Yan sprinted through the street and ignored the wandering pedestrians. Following the west road, Gao Yan reached the entrance of the Life Sword Sect''s outer disciple school. He carried the grasses and entered the gate. No one bothered with Gao Yan. He rushed to the pagoda north of the school. When he arrived, he saw therge signboard. Contribution Pavilion (Outer Disciples) "It has been a while." This ce was the only source of outer disciples'' ie. They could ept missions from the sect andplete them in exchange for contribution points. Then, they could exchange the points for cultivation resources. However, it also served as an exchange center a A disciple could exchange herbs or treasure for spirit stones or contribution points there. Upon entering the building, Gao Yan found a long counter where outer disciples could exchange items, ept the sect''s missions, or report thepletion of the tasks. Severalrge bulletin boards were filled with request papers, waiting for the disciples to take them. Gao Yan ignored the mission board and rushed to a counter. He approached the sect''s deacon behind the desk and reported his findings. "Senior, I''m here to exchange some spirit grasses for the sect''s contribution points and spirit stones." The deacon was a middle-aged woman. He looked up, "Your ID token?" Gao Yan rarely came here, so the deacon didn''t know him. He clumsily pulled out a wooden nk token from his pocket and dropped some of the blue grasses on the floor. "H-Here." Gao Yan put the token on the counter and picked up the grasses. Then, he put them on the bronze tray on the left side of the table. The deacon raised her eyebrows when she noticed the aura of the grasses. She nodded in approval. "Spirit Grass confirmed. But junior, you''re not from the alchemy or the botany department. Where did you get these from?" Gao Yan remembered that he hadn''t collected all the blue grasses from the eastern forest. He was afraid that the sect might send someone to collect them all and steal his money-making method. Thus, he lied. "I ran into a master in the east forest, senior. He sold me the spirit grass." "Which senior? Do you know his name or Daoist Title?" "I... forgot to ask him. His aura was as bright as the sect master. I was too afraid to ask." "..." The deacon gave Gao Yan a meaningful look. She secretly took notes and started calcting the exchange rate. "26 high-quality spirit grass, 17 medium quality, and 9 low quality. Thates to 69.5 points in contribution. Do you want to exchange them for spirit stones or technique books?" "Convert points to spirit stones, please!" "Alright. Two points per spirit stone. How many do you need?" Ѧdsvel.cm "34!" The deacon put 34 spirit stones on another tray on the table. Gao Yan picked them up in glee and strolled out of the building. . . After Gao Yan had left, the deacon searched for a book on the shelves behind her. A few minutester, she found a dusty book. She flipped it to check the title on the book cover. Outer Disciple a Gao Yan The deacon flipped the pages. However, there were only two notes about his contribution to the sect. Overall, his total contribution points in the previous year were only five. She put the book on the table and filled in today''s contribution detail. She listed the name of the contributed items, the amount, and the sources of the items in the paper. ''Gifts from an unknown senior? We should check this disciple''s background. He might have found a new source of wild spirit grass. But if he robbed them from someone, he''ll be kicked out of the sect.'' She added ament in the book a "Gao Yan needed a background check as his spirit grasses came from a dubious source. He imed he had received from an unknown cultivator." After finishing the notes, the deacon closed the book and put it on the audit shelf so that the internal affairs officers could audit the detail of the contributors and their achievements. . .I think you should take a look at Leo was never this happy. He enjoyed eating the mutated mandrakes, and these living roots didn''t have an annoying pearl inside. GROWL Because Leo ate too much, he had a stomach ache. He clicked his tongue and walked toward the temporary toilet around the boulder. Leo took off his hazmat suit and clothes. Then, he squatted above one of the small holes behind the rock. Coincidentally, it was the hole in which Leo had dumped a mandrake seed in. Several minutester after the deed, Leo cleaned up the mess. He covered the hole with a shovel. He let out a long sigh of relief. "50,000 years of mutation and I''m still vulnerable to diarrhea. Those mutated bacteria in my intestines need some work." Leo patted his belly and put on his clothes and hazmat suit. Then, he nced at the soil that he had covered just now. It turned ck as usual. Moreover, colorful aurora leaked out from the soil, emitting the stench of burning iron. Leo covered his nose and grabbed the shovel. He used the extra soil from the other hole to create anotheryer of dirt to block the smell. He stomped it a few times to make sure that the soil was hardened enough. Unfortunately, the odor kepting out. Leo grumbled in frustration and looked around for anything useful. A momentter, he gazed at therge boulder. "Meh, you will do." With both arms, Leo hugged the boulders and lifted them off the ground. He took several steps toward the covered hole and put the boulder on top of it. RUMBLE The ground trembled after itnded. Leo patted his hands, getting rid of the dust on his gloves. "I should dig deeper. Two meters ain''t enough." Leo grabbed his trusty shovel and started digging arger and deeper hole. Once again, he failed to notice the movements of the mandrake pearl underground. . A dayter, Leo admired his new work - A 20-meter-deep crater in front of the boulder. "Did I overdo it?" Leo doubted himself, but he believed that it was reasonable. He jumped down to the bottom of the hole and looked around. He patted the sloping wall a few times. As soon as he touched a certain part of the wall, his face distorted in disgust. It was wet. Underground water seemed to flow around here. "This won''t do. If I take a dump here, it will contaminate the underground water! I need a clean outhouse system, or I''ll ruin this world because of my radiation." Leo opened his shopping menu. He searched for the keyword "Toilet", and many toilet seats showed up. A few minutester, Leo smacked his forehead. "I should have done that earlier! I could have bought a septic tank from the shop and been done with it! A stic one will do. Once it''s filled, I can just punt it to space to avoid the contamination!" He opened the shopping menu and spent 50 years of lifespan for the 1,100-gallon septic tank. He then covered a portion of the crater to fit the tank. Then, he fiddled with the pipelines and the shopping menu, installing the tank properly. Half a dayter, Leo looked at the tank system in satisfaction. There was no drainage for the water to flow out, so the radiation wouldn''t spread anywhere. Everything should have been perfect with this setup if no external influence interfered with the tools. WIGGLE A dozen ck roots appeared out of nowhere from the side of the wall, coiling around the septic tank. One of them pierced through the tank and got inside. Leo could have uprooted the roots right away. However, he stood there, watching how the roots rapidly grow at a visible rate. He recognized the scent of these roots very well. It had the sweet scent of a margarita cocktail - the juicy delicious mandrakes. "What the duck?! Are these... one of the mandrakes?" CRACKLE The roots stopped moving. They sank their roots into the tank and stayed there. Leo raised his brow, amused, "What are you doing here? Do you want my organic fertilizer?" One of the roots wiggled as if it understood Leo''s intention. "..." Leo was speechless. He wondered if he was hallucinating. Still, he allowed the roots to stay there since they would automatically drain the scum and water from the toilet. Leo jumped out of the hole and buried the septic tank, leaving only the only pipe to go in. After the septic tank system waspleted, Leo installed a modern toilet seat on top of it. However, he left the toilet seat in the open for now. When Leo finished his task, he gazed at the boulder. It cracked and turned green. However, the soil under the boulder leaked out blue smoke. Blue branches and leaves emerged out of the cracks in the rock and continued to grow. "Welp! I''ll be calling you the ROCK tree. Just stay there and don''t contaminate the surrounding trees, okay? I don''t wanna turn this world into a nuclear wastnd 2.0." One of the branches wiggled, acknowledging Leo''smand. Thetter scratched his head and pursed his lips, wondering if it really understood his words. Chapter 5 Scammed Victim Benefits From Florida Man’s Fake Medicine ?Chapter 5 C Scammed Victim Benefits from Florida Man''s Fake Medicine After the stone and the septic tank incident, Leo returned to his tent. He rested for the day. The next day, Leo woke upte. He realized an important issue at hand - Aside from eating and sleeping, Leo had nothing to do! He was bored! As Leo sought something to kill time, he explored the new shop domain system to see what he could do with it. The menu showed a bird-eye view of his campsite and the shop domain as usual. At the top right corner, there was a hammer icon. Leo pressed on it. [Buildings] "Oh?" He checked the detail of what it was for. Upon tabbing it, the screen window changed from the 3D bird-eye view to the top-down view. The screen disyed the usual 1000x1000 grits of his shop domain, but half of the field was red. Only the clearednd was highlighted in green. At the side menu, only one thumbnail picture of a modern one-story building showed up. Leo read its description. . [Humble Store] C 500 Years of Lifespan This building is popr among small grocery stores. It has limited room for shelves and walking space, but it''s enough for a start-up business. Require 10x10 grits. . Leo''s eyes were bloodshot. He stared at the cost of this building. "Five hundred freaking years?! Are you kidding?!" Leo looked at his current lifespan. After eating all the mutated mandrakes and a shopping spree, he had only 300 years in stock. It wasn''t enough to test the unknown feature. Although Leo used to farm 2,000 years of lifespan easily from eating mutated creatures, he couldn''t do the same in this world. He was afraid that he might destroy the ecology and turned this into another nuclear fallout wastnd. Still, without the radiation, Leo had no other way of increasing his lifespan. Without a choice, Leo took off his hazmat suit. He strolled in the forest barefoot. As Leo had predicted, the grass, flowers, and nts got polluted by the radiation from his body. The ones that directly touched Leo turned ck while the surrounding nts changed color to blue. Leo squatted and plucked ck grass. He also searched for more mandrakes to eat. "Woe is me. I guess pulling grass is now the only activity for me to kill time" Leo was depressed. He sulked and continued corrupting and pulling weeds in the forest. While he was pulling ck grasses, he thought of Gao Yan. He wondered if the boy would still be alive. Leo snickered, "As long as you don''t grow four arms or extra legs, you''ll be fine, boy." . . Meanwhile, Gao Yan stared at therge cauldron that he had borrowed from the alchemy department. He kept throwing ice cubes into it to cool the water, but the temperature kept rising. The cauldron also shone in green light, basking Gao Yan every time he came near. As Leo had instructed, Gao Yan cooled the ck grass. It had been three days since he had started, and he began to feel nauseous. Feeling sick, Gao Yan walked back into his dorm building. He looked at his colleagues. "Can anybody help me cool that cauldron? I need to sleep. I have a headache." Gao Yan''s friendsughed at him, "Why should we?" Another one teased him, "One spirit stone, and I''ll do it for you." The third guy agreed, "Yeah, nothing is free in this world. No pay, no gain!" Gao Yan scoffed and flickered a spirit stone at the trio. He yelled at them. "I don''t care who! Just don''t let the water boil! Put some ice into the water every time the water bubbles. I''m going to rest now." "" The group picked up the spirit stone and looked at each other in astonishment. They gazed at how Gao Yan climbed onto his bed and fell asleep. "He must be really sick." "Yeah. The old Gao never spent a single dime. Whenever he had a spirit stone, he always used it to boost his non-existing inner energy. He never spent it on something trivial." "I saw him doing chores for himself while the others simply hired random servants to do theirs. Who in the right mind spent all day washing clothes for others to get some food instead of cultivating? So, yeah. This guy is sick, alright." The trio felt bad for Gao Yan, but they epted themission. They exited the dorm and visited the rumored cauldron. But when they saw the green smoke, they were stunned. "Huh? Hey, bro. Do you think what I''m thinking?" "How should I know? But, yeah. I guess so." "S-Spiritual Qi? Not just regr Qi but the high-graded one?! What the hell is he cooking?" They peeked into the cauldron and found a bundle of ck grasses at the bottom of the pot. A few secondster, their eyes and nose were so hot that they looked away from the cauldron. "Ow! The smoke!" "M-My eyes!" "It burns! No, my nose is burning!" They screamed and started causing amotion. Several outer disciples came out of their barracks, houses, and dorms to see them. "What''s wrong?" The trio pointed at the 5-foot-tall pot. The others also peeked into it and got the same reactions. "AAAAHHH!! MY EYES!!" "IT BURNS!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Their loud noise caused amotion. Soon, a deacon appeared and yelled at the disciples. "What''s going on here?! Who is boiling something in the public courtyard? Hmm?" The deacon noticed the strange light from the pot. He instantly recognized it and eximed in shock. "Spiritual Qi?! HOW?!" He rushed to the pot and looked inside. Then, he found the source. "Who the hell is boiling the precious immortal grass?!"I think you should take a look at The deacon sent his Qi into the pot to bring it out. However, the light around the grasses repelled the deacon''s Qi, preventing him from touching it. "Ah!" The deacon''s Qi returned to the owner, and he coughed a mouthful of blood because of the bacsh. He widened his eyes in astonishment. "A-A high-graded immortal grass? Not just a sprout?!" He looked at the disciples in the area and yelled, "Who did this?! Who brought the grasses here?!" The friends of Gao Yan struggled as if they got hit by tear gas. They pointed at their dorm barrack, "Gao Yan, sir. He said he was sick. He''s resting inside." "Get him out! Make him stop this madness!" Everybody jolted in fear. They rushed into Gao Yan''s barrack to bring him out. As soon as they entered the barrack, they saw the sleeping man. However, his body glowed in green light. "Eh?" "A breakthrough?!" Whenever cultivators advanced from the muscle tempering stage to the Qi condensation stage, their bodies always glowed a color, depending on their aptitude and talent - A cultivator with high impurity always emitted ck smoke. On the other hand, a cultivator with a good foundation usually emitted a bright colorful aura during the breakthrough. Green aura indicated that Gao Yan''s had a high aptitude for Wood Qi. His talent in sword arts might becking, but the botany and alchemy schools would be crazy over this disciple. If he could enroll in an alchemy-rted sect, he would surely be one of the prominent figures in the future. The disciples stood there, watching the green aura of Gao Yan. On the other hand, Gao Yan sweated profusely as the temperature in his body rose. "S-Should we wake him up?" "And destroy his cultivation base and opportunity? Hell no. I don''t wanna offend the alchemists." "That''s right. Anybody that disturbs an alchemist''s breakthrough will face the wrath of all alchemists on the continent! They worship cultivators with Wood Qi since these people can refine spiritual herbs and nts! If we mess with Gao Yan now and they find out about us, no alchemist will sell us pill!" "This is a shocker. Gao Yan is talentless in swordsmanship. Who would have thought that his true talent belongs in another field?" Even bullies were afraid of the alchemists and Gao Yan. They watched him in silence. As people gathered in front of Gao Yan''s room, it caused amotion. More disciples gathered around to spectate the green light. Then, they started pushing the people in the front. "Hey! Don''t push!" "Get out! Gao Yan has green aura! If we touch him, his breakthrough will fail!" "OUT! OUT!" The outer disciples in the room pushed the crowd outside. The people took the gesture and reluctantly left. On the other hand, the deacon pushed through the crowd and got into the room to see themotion. Then, he saw Gao Yan and his aura. "G-Green aura breakthrough?! He ispatible with wood Qi?!" The deacon was astonished. He inspected Gao Yan for a moment to check his condition without touching him. The overall condition of Gao Yan was not good. He had absorbed too much wood Qi, causing his blood vessels to swell. At this rate, all meridians in his body would explode. "Disciples, go inform an elder from the pavilion quick. Tell them that I need a Qi Stabilization pill and a meridian nourishment pill. I''ll help him suppress the rampaging Wood Qi." The disciples gulped and scrambled out of the dorm. A dozen of them ran toward nearby deacons and contribution building at the center, hoping to find an elder. Meanwhile, the deacon in the room sat in front of Gao Yan. He gathered his Qi in his fingertip and was about to absorb excess Qi to relieve the disciple''s pain. Suddenly, Gao Yan snapped open his eyes. He sat up and vomited green liquid on the floor. The fluid corroded the ground and released the greenish odor of wild nts. COUGH Gao Yan coughed and clenched his stomach. He had severe stomach pain and a high fever. However, he sensed something strange inside him. He looked at the deacon in front of him, "S-Sir, I don''t feel so good." As Gao Yan hadpleted his breakthrough, he was no longer in danger. The deacon grabbed the disciple''s wrist and checked his pulse. He sensed thick wood Qi in Gao Yan''s swollen blood vessels. Fortunately, the boy''s physique was sturdy as he had been training hard for years. The deacon wryly smiled and gave him a piece of good news, "You''ve just advanced to the Qi Condensation Stage. Obviously, you need a few days of rest to stabilize your cultivation." "Huh?" Gao Yan was confused, "I did what?" "You''re now a second-stage cultivator, you fool!" "EEEHHH!?" Gao Yan couldn''t believe his ears. He pinched his cheek and looked at his stomach. As the deacon had said C He advanced to the Qi Condensation Stage. Gao Yan sensed his inner energy in his blood cirction system. However, they had no ce to go, so they flowed aimlessly. Although the condition looked troublesome, Gao Yan was overjoyed. He wouldn''t be expelled from the sect anymore! The deacon noticed Gao Yan''s happy expression. He smacked the guy''s back, "Stop boiling immortal grass for now. Wait here. I''ll go get you some Qi Stabilization pill, a painkiller, and a Wood Qi cultivation method from the treasure pavilion." "Eh? Alchemy?" "Your primary element is wood. You need that method since the regr ones are no longer suitable for you." Gao Yan was over the moon. He didn''t know how to respond to the deacon''s kindness and his new power. The deacon stood up and canceled his Qi. He nced at the wet floor. "Don''t worry about the vomit. I''ll ask someone else to clean it." "" . After the decon had left, Gao Yan was alone in the room. Because of excitement, Gao Yan forgot about the headache, stomach pain, and fever. He sat there, contemting how this had happened. The face of the mysterious elder in the Sword Saint Boulder Forest appeared in his mind. "Is this because of the grass? T-This is the effect of immortal grass?! I only tried to cool them for almost two days, but I" Gao Yan was moved to tears. One year of lifespan for this opportunity was worth it! He made up his mind. Once he could stabilize his cultivation, he would revisit the elder to thank him. Later that day, a deacon came and asked Gao Yan to follow him. He brought Gao Yan the alchemy department, where alchemists from the other sects resided. As for the ck grasses in the cauldron, they were transferred along with Gao Yan to his new home. Gao Yan''s status changed forever. Chapter 6 Florida Man Scammed While Attempting To Scam Local Cultivator ?Chapter 06 C Florida Man Scammed While Attempting to Scam Local Cultivator One day had passed since Gao Yan had advanced to the second stage. Gao Yan no longer shared a room with other outer disciples. The internal affair elder assigned him a new resident in the Alchemy Department, where only alchemist elders could stay. Although he was still an outer disciple, the treatment toward him was drastically improved as he could potentially be an alchemist in the future. As soon as the alchemist elder discovered Gao Yan''s wood Qi, he immediately took him in as a core disciple. When the words spread, Gao Yan became famous throughout the outer disciple division. Alchemists were important to the Life Sword Sect. They were the only group of cultivators who could refine spirit grass and other nts into useful medicinal pills. In short, these specialists were always in demand, and their status was higher than regr swordsmen and cultivators. Meanwhile, Gao Yan''s dorm became the gathering point of outer disciples. As Gao Yan couldn''t bring out the ck grasses with him, they still sat at the bottom of the cauldron in front of his barrack. A dozen disciples sat around the cauldron, filling the water with ice cubes and trying to cultivate the green gas by inhaling them. They believed that the gas could awaken their hidden potential. Many deacons watched them from afar, maintaining order. . Contribution Pavilion A group of outer disciples worked part-time here, carrying books from the audit shelves toward the internal management department building behind the pavilion in exchange for contribution points. In the building with a high roof, schr-like middle-aged elders in white robes sat behind small tables, surrounding the empty hall of the building in the horseshoe formation. Next to them, books from the contribution pavilion were stacked up into towers. However, they were unfazed while they read the records of inner disciples and outer disciples. Some of them addedments in the books while most of them used their wooden stamps to validate the deed. At the corner of the room, the schr elder waved his finger, sending his Qi to pick up the book from the top of the stack. He put it on the table and nced at the name. Gao Yan C Outer Disciple "Ah, Gao Yan. Is he the rumored Wood Qi boy? Talk about the story of a diamond in a rough. I heard he had been mistreated for years before his breakthrough. Let''s see what our future alchemist did when he was still in the mud." He flipped the cover page and another page. As soon as he noticed that Gao Yan only had two records in his name, the elder frowned. "Azy one. Well, at least, he tried. How old is he? 16? There''s even a record that he has no aptitude in cultivation. Hahaha! The evaluation elder needs to be reevaluated instead!" The schr giggled and was about to pick a stamp to clear this book. However, as he was a disciplined worker, he put the wooden stamp down and read the recent deed of Gao Yan. "69.5 Points at once from spirit grass? Interesting?" He continued to read thements of the inspecting deacon. [Gao Yan imed he received spirit grass from a rogue cultivator in the Sword Saint Boulder Forest. Need someone to validate this testimony.] "Ho? Does that mean he had a fortuitous encounter, and he got Wood Qi after that? Indeed, we need to check that person''s background. If he''s not an unorthodox cultivator, we can invite him to join our sect as a guest elder or a permanent elder." The schr deeply exhaled and wrote a few words under the record to givements. Then, he picked up a handheld bronze bell. He rang it to get the others'' attention. DING When everybody in the room looked at him, he uttered in a clear voice. "Urgent request here. Send this record to the disciplinary hall and let them investigate this disciple and the mysterious cultivator behind him. The detail is in the book." Ringing the bell was a tradition there. Whenever an elder needed something investigated, they always rang the bells on their tables. It only took 10 seconds before an inner disciple rushed into the building. The young man received the book from the schr and strode out of the building, heading to another ce. . The 20-story pagoda of the Life Sword Sect was a restricted area of the disciplinary department, and only authorized inner disciples or core disciples could enter. It was located at the center of the sect, next to the 100-story pagoda of the grand elders and the sect master. The record of Gao Yan arrived at the basket in front of the building. The inner disciple put in there and left. WHOOSH The book floated to the top floor of the 20-story pagoda. On the rooftop, an elderly man with a curvy ck mustache stood still, controlling the 100 hovering swords in front of him and practicing his skills. The disciplinary elder Han Meng was 6 feet tall and muscr. His body-builder-like muscles couldn''t be contained in regr Daoist robes, so he only wore a white tank top and pants. Han Meng was one of many elders in charge of internal investigation and punishment. Whenever someone put a letter or a book in the basket in front of the pagoda, he and his colleagues always took up the task of investigating the issues. Han Meng grabbed the floating book and opened it. He read through everything that Gao Yan did and focused on thements of the deacon and the audit elder. "A disciple awakens Wood Qi after meeting with a mysterious cultivator in a forest? Mysterious source of spirit grass? Obviously, the cases are connected. But since an outsider is involved, I doubt any inner disciples canplete the task safely. I should take a look at this man myself." Han Meng jumped off the rooftop of the pagoda and flew toward the east, heading toward the famous Sword Saint Boulder to inspect the area. . . WARRA WARRA WARRA While pulling weeds, a dire wolf jumped out of a bush and bit Leo''s nape. Leo ignored the animal and collected ck grasses in arge bamboo basket, which he had purchased from the online shopping menu. He looked at the basket. The grasses were filled to the brim, but there was no mandrake. Moreover, he finished cleaning all grass in the square kilometer domain. Leo sighed and sulked. He was tired of ck grasses. "This is gonna be a grind. How many days do I have to eat grasses? I''m going to devolve into a cow at this rate Moo." He turned his attention to the dead wolf. As usual, it slowly mutated and swelled. Seeing the dead dog, Leo grinned. After standing up, Leo turned around and carried the basket back to his campsite. As for the dire wolf, it was already on the ground, having a stroke and foaming its mouth. Its arms, legs, and body swelled as the evolved cells of Leo''s body mutated the beast. It soon turned ck and died. A few minutester, Leo returned with a stic bin. He tied the bulky leg of the swollen dire wolf to the nearby ck tree, hanging it upside down. Then, he cut open its stomach with a skinning knife and removed the internal organs, then tossed everything inedible to the bin. After that, he put the container underneath the carcass and cut the wolf''s throat, draining its blood. "I hate to say this, but I get to eat dog meat atst! I ain''t a Chinese, but I''m gonna feast on you, stupid doggy!"I think you should take a look at Leo hummed and rotated the skinning knife in a good mood. When Leo was about to peel the wolf''s skin, the corner of his eyes noticed something in the sky. He looked up and stared at it. "Is that a bird? Is that a ne? No it''s a flying dude?" . . Initially, Han Meng believed that the mysterious cultivator was just a rogue cultivator that identally or purposely gave spirit grasses to Gao Yan. Thus, he flew toward the Sword Saint Boulder, intending to fight or interrogate the unknown cultivator. As soon as Han Meng arrived, he saw traces of digging and tampering around the boulder. Moreover, the grey rock was now green, and the surrounding nts and trees had blue leaves. Han Meng deeply frowned. He recognized the nts and trees. They should have been regr nts, but they evolved into spirit trees. Moreover, some of the nts were new species that could have driven botanists or alchemists crazy. That was not all. The blue nts grew in small groups. Upon further inspection, they surrounded ck nts in the middle, and they leaked powerful miasma into the air. "Immortal nts?" Han Meng rubbed his eyes. He thought that he hallucinated. While Han Meng was looking around from the sky, the corner of his eyes spotted movements. He noticed a strange campsite with a weird tent and a pile of ck grasses near the stream. When Han Meng turned his attention toward the camp, he noticed a white-haired elderly man in strange bulky yellow clothes. The elder also looked up, and their eyes met. Han Meng suddenly sensed a chill running down his spine. He saw the rainbow aura and the colorful aurora around him. He recognized this type of aura well. The master of the Life Sword Sect also had this presence. "S-Sixth stage cultivator, the soul formation stage?!" Afraid of offending the mysterious elder, Han Meng descended. Hended in front of the white-haired old man and cupped his fist. "I''m sorry for the sudden visit, senior. My name is Han Meng, and my Daoist name is Flying Swordsman. I''ve received a report from my sect that one of our disciples has received your guidance. Could I know your name and where you''re from, senior?" Although Han Meng slightly bowed, he kept looking at Leo''s face. He gulped and cursed at himself. ''Dammit. I spoke too fast! I should have only extended my greetings and not questioned him. I was rude!'' . . Meanwhile, Leo nkly stared at Han Meng. He raised his eyebrows. ''Well, damn. I read about them when the inte was still up, but these guys do exist, eh? What were the terms? Farmer? No, cultural-something? That''s not it. Cultivation cultivator! Yes, cultivator! Those superpower Daoists and their 9th-grade syndrome cringe are their main attraction!'' Leo had enlightenment. Although he wasn''t an expert in the cultivation world genre, he knew how to act like one. Without thinking much, Leo enabled the shop domain feature. DING Suddenly, the lifespan status of Han Meng appeared. . Name: Han Meng Age: 54 Remaining Lifespan: 726 Years, 1 Month, 24 Days, 10 Hours, and 49 Minutes. . Han Meng and Leo widened their eyes in astonishment for a different reason. Leo was shocked that a local cultivator had 726 years to live. On the other hand, Han Meng was bbergasted to see his own lifespan status floating in front of him. "S-Senior, what is this?!" Han Meng asked. Leo snapped back to his senses and coughed, "You see, junior. I''m a wandering vendor from another continent. I''m wondering if you''re interested in my weed." Leo turned around and pointed at the mountain of ck grasses that he had been collecting. Han Meng gulped. His eyes were so round that they almost came out from the eye sockets. As Han Meng didn''t reply, Leo pitched the sale. "I''m selling them for cheap. One de of weed for 10 years of your lifespan. How about it? Wanna smoke?" Leo jacked the price because of his greed. As Gao Yan only purchased one, Leo expected Han Meng to buy only one grass as well. However, Leo underestimated the standard and themon sense of this world. "Ten years of my lifespan for one de of grass?! ARE YOU SURE?" "Err, yes." Leo inwardly questioned Han Meng in his mind. He wondered why the muscle man eximed so loud. "I''d like to exchange 500 years of my lifespan for 50 of those, please!" "Huh?" Chapter 7 Florida Man Builds General Store In Forest To Sell Grass Ѧdsvel.cm ?Chapter 7 C Florida Man Builds General Store in Forest to Sell Grass Han Meng was ecstatic when Leo offered to sell him immortal grasses for only 10 years of lifespan per de. In this world, immortal grasses usually took 100 years to grow one centimeter. Moreover, it required seven types of elemental water and a highly-dense Qi area to grow. In addition, this type of grass couldn''t be found anywhere except in the mystic realms in other dimensions. Although they were super rare, the grasses were the key ingredient of top elixirs and many types of legendary cultivation pills. Han Meng''s mentor once taught him that one piece of immortal grass could be made into elixir pills, which could extend one''s lifespan for a hundred years and improve one''s inner energy equal to one thousand years'' worth of cultivation. Yet, Leo offered to sell apleted grass for only 10 years of lifespan! Even a six-year-old child could do the math. Without hesitation, Han Meng asked for 50 des of grass right away. Leo''s expression went nk for a moment. A secondter, he widely grinned, thinking that Han Meng was so stupid. "Of course. I''ll deduct 500 years from your lifespan. Thank you for your patronage, kind customer." "N-No. I should be the one to thank you! Actually, if it won''t offend you, can I purchase some more?" Han Meng regretted that he only asked for 50 des of grass when he could afford more. As top alchemists usually took 50 to 100 years at most for refining difficult pills, Han Meng believed he could get 10 more, leaving a bit over a hundred years of lifespan for himself. Meanwhile, Leo had second thoughts. As Han Meng acted like a drug-addicted junkie. He wondered if Han Meng mistook it for marihuana or something simr. ''Wut da hail is dis greedy junkie?'' Again, Leo''s expression looked like disgusted Uncle Roger. **From this point, it is rmended to read Leo''s dialogues in Uncle Roger''s voice or ent** ''Is he so desperate to the point he wants to hoard my weeds? No, no. I might be a scammer, but I''m a RIGHTEOUS scammer! If you die from over-smoking, who wille back to buy my grasses and give me more lifespan? No, son. You will enjoy my weeds, and you wille back here in one piece.'' Although he was d that he managed to scam a random customer, he didn''t want Han Meng to die and ruin his shop''s reputation. After all, scamming local cultivators was more profitable than eating grasses. Leo made up his mind. He tried to convince Han Meng not to smoke too much. "As much as I want to sell you more, smoking too much weed will send you to Jesus. You should not smoke 50 weeds at once. Instead, treasure it and take it one at a time for safety like how you take vitamin D through your butt. Your PP will turn into a soggy noodle, and your wife willin to me that you can''t do your homework. Haiya." Han Meng''s expression was nk. He couldn''t understand the jargon and weird ent. Thus, he mistook Leo for a foreigner and didn''t think much of the weird choice of words. "Err, I don''t understand what you''re talking about. Could you repeat that?" Leo scratched his head. He stopped messing around and got to the point. "You have to think of your health. What are you going to do if you get sick because of overdosing?" "!!!" Han Meng came back to his senses. He then smacked his forehead and thought to himself. ''He''s right! Cultivators usually develop resistance to pills if they eat too many. If we eat the same pills over and over again, our dantian will develop impure Qi, and they will clog our meridians C The pill poisoning! Why didn''t I think of this? How embarrassing!'' After thinking this far, Han Meng deeply bowed, "Thank you for reprimanding this junior! I was overwhelmed by greed, and I overlookedmon sense! I will never forget your kindness!" Leo didn''t understand what Han Meng was talking about, but he was d that he managed to convince a drug junkie not to smoke too many weeds. Leo picked up 50 ck des of grass and tossed them over. The grasses automatically floated and hovered in front of Han Meng. The elder gleefully epted them and put everything in his spatial ring. Then, he watched his lifespan in the status menu decrease. Han Meng nced at Leo. He cupped his fist and tried to ask for his identity again. "Again, could I have your name? If it is inconvenient, you can tell me your Daoist name." "" This time, Leo had no clue idea what Han Meng referred to. Daoist Name? Alias? Leo paused to think. His humor sense kicked in, and he came up with a meme nickname that was rted to his origin. "Call me Florida Man!" "F-Florida?" Han Meng was stunned. He didn''t understand what [Florida] meant. In this world, Daoist Names represented a Daoist''s achievements. Whenever a cultivatorpleted his golden core, they always received a title or a Daoist name from their senior, mentor, or parents. The titles always reflected the person''s specialties and every cultivator took pride in the name. For example, a swordsman could have [Swift Sword], [Quick sh], [Invisible de], or [Library of Flying Swords] as his Daoist name. An alchemist could also potentially earn [Thousand Cauldrons], [Fiery Alchemist], or [Never Botch] as his title, but no one could obtain anything rted to other fields that they weren''t specialized in. Moreover, one person could possess one title in their entire life. As a result, Han Meng pondered what [Florida] referred to. He wondered what kind of power or achievements Leo had aplished to get it. ''It must be something grand since I haven''t heard of it before. I should go back and check the library what [Florida] means. Oh, I wonder if father knows what Florida means.'' Han Meng bowed, bidding farewell, "Very well, Benefactor Florida Man. I''ll go back to my sect and inform you that you have greatly helped us today. If you need anything, please visit our Life Sword Sect. We will do our best to amodate you."I think you should take a look at After saying so, Han Meng tossed a medallion to Leo. Thetter caught it with one hand. Leo looked at the gold medallion and smiled, thinking that he had scored something valuable, "Ah, go on." Han Meng leaped into the sky and disappeared into the clouds. . Leo watched the cultivator fly. He pouted, envious of Han Meng. "I wish I could fly too. Oh, well. Nothing beats lifespan! How many years do I have now, my damn shopping system?" DING Because of the big sale, Leo had enough lifespan to purchase a house even though it was a store. Without hesitation, Leo spent 500 years of lifespan right away. DING A building menu appeared, showing the top-down view and the grits. The 10x10 blocks moved left and right ording to Leo''s fingertip as he couldmand the building to move anywhere on the map. As Leo hadn''t cleared the forest around the campsite yet, he moved his sleeping tent and other belongings to another area. Then, he ced the new building on top of the former campsite. The ground was slightly elevated and ttened. Then, arge wooden cabin manifested on top of the t floor. The one-story cabin looked like something from the Wild West Era as it seemed old and dry. There were no disy sses like the modern grocery stores or general stores - Two small windows and a wooden door reced them. Looking from the front of the store, Leo couldn''t tell if it was a store or a cabin. Fortunately, the nk signboard on the roof wasrge enough to hint to passersby that it was a shop. DING "Oh? I didn''t expect a service from you." Leo was surprised. He rubbed the ring on his left hand and named his store. There was no need for thinking. He had dreamt of using this name for 50,000 years. "We Sell Weeds!" Although Leo had the urge to name it "Chernobyl General Store", he felt bad for the victims. Thus, he just used a respectable name instead of a meme to avoid offending the spirits of the incident''s victims. The store''s name was automatically painted on the signboard. It looked a lot better with color even though it was glowing green. Leo walked around the store. As the map had shown, it covered a span of 100 square meters. Leo took a few minutes to walk around the building. However, Leo felt like itcked something. "There is no fence. Will it be okay? I hope there''s no thief around here." Leo suddenly had an inspiration. He browsed the online shopping system and searched for certain hardware. After all, he couldn''t call himself a "Florida Man" without big hammers! But HAMMERS in Leo''s dictionary referred to GUNS! DING The shopping menu showed a series of arsenal from the modern world. Leo rubbed his hands and drooled. "My precious" Leo fixated his gaze on the AR-15 in the catalog. He missed his old toys in the modern world. Unfortunately, the price was excessive. The system demanded 5,000 years of lifespan per a standard AR-15 without any mod. Leo shed the tear of a heartbroken man. "5,000 years of lifespan?! System, you greedy motherducker! %$@#" . After moaning and whining for an hour, Leo was sober. He silently entered his new house and gazed at the nk interior. He finally came up with a solution. "Fine. I can''t just eat grass all day. I''ll just convert whatever I have around me into stupid toxic weeds or something. I also need to chop down trees around here. I might get lucky if I find fruit seeds or something I can grow into mutated nts." Leo stopped sulking and inspected the store thoroughly. At the back of the house, there was another door to the storeroom or backroom. He checked the storage area on the back and discovered that he could use it as a bedroom as well. The room''s size was the same as a studio condominium C About 25-30 square-meter. He started working. Leo purchased a storage bed from the online shopping system for himself. Then, he browsed the shop and looked for shelves for his ware. Since Leo had purchased a general store from the system, it wouldn''t hurt to make it a real store! Chapter 8 Florida Man Feeds Dire Wolf To His Cat ?Chapter 8 C Florida Man Feeds Dire Wolf to His Cat Half a day after Han Meng''s visit, Leo finished decorating his store. It was modeled after a butcher shop. A disy refrigerator and freezer chests were arranged on the west side of the store. This area was for the butchered beef, pork, chicken, and random meat. But for now, these freezers were left empty as he hadn''tpletely butchered the dire wolf yet. As for the east area, Leo put fruit disy refrigerators there and stored ck weed in them. He arranged the grass like vegetables, making it easy to pick up. The center area and the north zone were still empty. Leo couldn''t ce anything on the south area either as it was connected to the entrance and windows. For now, the store''s furniture waspleted. However, Leo felt like this cecked variety. Leo looked around and inspected the cab freezers. There was one major problem. This ce had no electricity, so the freezers didn''t work. Leo scratched his head. He lightly touched the freezer ss and frowned. It was hot. As the ck grass kept emitting radioactive air, the surrounding temperature kept rising. "What am I going to do with you? This is a waste of lifespan!" Leo felt like he was scammed. He had the urge to throw away the freezer to the trash dump at the boulder. Thus, he lightly pped the side of a refrigerator. DING Leo paused for a minute. He stared at the fridge and the system window. He had never seen this type of upgrade before. Curious, Leo pressed the confirm button. Leo frowned. The system gave him prompt messages, but it didn''t show what the upgrade could do. He rechecked his bnce, wondering if he could afford it. After spending so much on furniture and refrigerators, Leo had 200 years in stock. Leo looked around and counted the fridges. Three ss-door fridges, two meat disys, and five slide-door chests C Ten in total! "Do I need 1,000 years of lifespan to upgrade everything?" Leo clicked his tongue. As he had nothing to lose, he agreed to spend 100 years on the upgrade. DING The refrigerator glittered. The outward appearance didn''t change. However, Leo instantly noticed the upgrade. The electric wire no longer existed, yet the LED light was turned on. Moreover, cool air came out, rapidly decreasing the grass temperature. " Wow." Leo was in awe. The fridge no longer required electricity. Inspired, Leo touched the second fridge. DING "YES!" DING Just like that, 200 years of Leo''s lifespan was gone. He gazed at the two upgraded showcase fridges and nodded in approval. Since Leo only had two working fridges, he got busy again. Leo rearranged the ck grass and put the rest outside the store. For now, he would eat the leftover food to get his lifespan back. . . Meanwhile, Han Meng returned to the sect and rushed into the tallest pagoda. He got to the top floor and strode into arge hall, where a bald man had been meditating inside alone. Han Meng brought out the ck grasses and put them on the floor. He cupped his fist and reported. "Father! Look what I''ve found. I''ve brought you 50 des of immortal grasses!" The bald elder opened his eyes and gazed at his son. He wore a long coat and white robes C The uniform of the sect''s grand elder. He had no facial hair or eyebrow, and his wrinkled skin seemed coarse and thick. When the grand elder saw the ck grasses, he was stunned. He kept looking back and forth between Han Meng and the pile of grasses for a minute. "THAT''S A LOT OF IMMORTAL GRASSES!" "Yes, father. With these, we can refine so many elixirs. We can increase our lifespan by at least 5,000 years or so!" The grand elder deeply nodded. He stood up and picked one of the grass des. Then, he sniffed at it. Its odor was the same as burnt iron. They were legit immortal grasses of high quality. "Contact Wu Buyi! Commission him to make an elixir first. If he''s busy, ask him to put everything aside andplete this first!"I think you should take a look at "Yes, father! Hahaha, you are going live for a long time." "Of course, I will! Anyway" The grand elder tossed the ck grass to the pile. He gazed at his son, "Where did you get these? I reckon the next secret realm''s opening is a month away. Nobody should have gotten their hands on these." "Oh, right. I forgot to report. Great news, father. An expert drops by, and he agrees to sell us his herbs. He seems to be a rogue cultivator that practices the art of life force. He asked me for my lifespan when he offered to sell me these." The grand elder narrowed his eyes, worrying that his son might have been scammed. "How many years did he ask?" "Only 10 years per de of grass, father! Isn''t that cheap?!" The grand elder''s expression brightened. He let out a long sigh of relief. "We''re blessed. He seems to have goodwill toward our sect. Had it been me, I would have asked for 500 years for each grass." "I think so too! Anyway, let''s hurry and make you an elixir. We can''t afford to let you run out of lifespan and die before your next breakthrough." "Indeed. Let''s visit Wu Buyi together." The two men strolled toward the alchemy department, paying their pill maker a visit. . . After eating 40 des of ck grasses, Leo rechecked his lifespan. Leo was annoyed. He gazed at the stockpile in the freezer and counted them. From a rough estimation, Leo expected about six thousand des of grass. "I ain''t gonna y''all! I ain''t a COW mooo." Leo thought of the dire wolf. Then, he remembered that he hadn''t skinned it yet. "Right. I drained the blood and removed the guts, but I haven''t skinned or butchered it. I can make it into a BBQ!" Leo went out of the store and inspected the hanging carcass in the woods. The blood had been drained, and the waste filled a stic bin to the brim. Seeing the wet junk, Leo thought of the unknown roots in the septic tank. He wondered if that mutated nt could use them as fertilizer. He carried the bin to the boulder. Upon getting back to the boulder, Leo discovered that it was covered in green vines, which bloomed ck flowers. The odor of burning iron and the aurora around it indicated that the vines and flowers were contaminated. Leo put the bin next to the boulder. He lightly poked the vine, wondering if the roots and the vines were from the same body. "Ay, yo. Do you happen to eat blood and wolf''s guts? I have some in the bin. Are you interested?" WIGGLE One of the vines extended and slithered toward Leo. It bloomed a ck flower and dibbed the tip of the vine into the bin. The green vine slowly changed color from green to brown as wolf blood entered its body. WIGGLE One of the flowers grewrger, transforming into arge mouth of a ck chomper nt. The mouth smiled and licked its lips. Then, it extended its long tongue, scooping the wolf''s intestines into its mouth. "" Leo quietly gazed at the nt monster. He used to witness monster mutations and evolution processes. However, he had never seen a mutated nt. "Oh, boy. What the hell did I create?" Leoughed at the ck chomper. He lightly patted its head. The chomper nt grinned. Then, it let out a weird sound. "Meow." "" Leo''s expression changed. He had a funny feeling about this chomper. "Are you a cat or a man-eating nt? Make up your mind!" "Meow." " A cat, I see. Okay, your name is [Cat], okay?" Within seconds, "Cat" finished everything in the bin. It licked its lips and then almost licked Leo''s face. Fortunately, it pulled back its tongue as it sensed something dread from his skin. "Good choice. Had you licked me, you would have died." "HISS!!" The chomper shrunk back in fear. Leoughed at it and carried the empty bin back. Seeing that Leo went back to his cabin, the chomper rested itsrge head on the boulder. Then, it revealed a mischievous grin. "Meow!" More vines and roots spread toward the forest. Nearby trees slowly turned blue and emitted dense fog. Chapter 9 Florida Man Experiments With Steak, Attracts Vegan Neighbors ?Chapter 9 a Florida Man Experiments with Steak, Attracts Vegan Neighbors Skinning is an art. Butchering is an art. But butchering and skinning a mutated animal is another story. Leo took off his hazmat suit as he couldn''t stand the sweat and the heat. He wiped his sweat with his forearm and gazed at the skinless carcass of the mutated wolf. The muscles were disfigured and ck. Many parts were inmed. A portion of bones was deformed, and smelly puss fluid leaked out from the ribs. No matter how Leo looked at it, the meat was inedible. Leo sighed and slowly cut the wolf into four sections. He tossed the rotten parts in a trash bin, leaving only useful meats. However, when Leo''s hands touched the bones, they turned ck and deformed once again. The ck bones turned into soft transparent jelly. Leo nced at the pile of transformed jelly. Although he had done this with the monsters in the nuclear wastnd, their jelly bones gave off the pleasant odor of fried chicken. However, the wolf''s jelly smelled like Surstr??mming. "I wish I had some bread. Oh, well. Taste testing time. I''ll buy some sandwich bread from the shopter if it works." Leo picked up a jelly rib cage and took a bite. His teeth crushed the jelly, and the fishy smell hit his nose. He closed his eyes, enduring the taste and scent of strong fish. After swallowing the jelly rib, Leo cleaned his pte by licking his teeth. It was not bad. It justcked something. "Ah, right. If I treat the grasses like spinach, can it get better?" Leo rushed back to his store and brought a handful of ck grasses. He coiled the leaves around the jelly bone as if it was a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth. The strong taste of burnt iron blended with the salty fish''s odor. Although both were bad, they gave birth to the ultimate salty and fishy sushi. "DAMN SALTY!!" Leo almost spat out his food. However, he had several ideas about what to do with them. "Fine by me! Since you''re salty, I''ll grind both of you into powder and use you as salt... wait a minute. Speaking of salt..." Leo stared at the mutated wolf''s carcass. He thought of salt brine steaks, and his imagination ran wild. Although he wasn''t a cook when he was a human, he had some experience in cooking mutated monsters. "Brine steaks! How about salting the meat with modern salt from the shop? I can also use these salty grasses and jelly to rece salt, so I''ll cook steaks with these andpare the taste! HAHAHA! This looks fun! Oh, wait. This salty thing should go well with SAKE! Oh, yes! I have a side dish for alcohol! HAHAHAHA!" A wild grin appeared on Leo''s face. He wiped the drool on his face and extracted jelly bones and meat. . . Life Sword Sect was well-known as an orthodox sect, which specialized in sword arts and flying swords. They had nothing to do with alchemy and botany. However, that didn''t stop the sect from employing master alchemists from alchemy schools. Outside the west wall was arge farnd that belonged to the Life Sword Sect''s alchemy division. This farnd grew spirit rice, which could be refined into grain pills. A courtyard and 20 one-story houses in the middle of the farnd were the workshops of a master alchemist and his assistants. Gao Yan also resided there with his new mentor. Han Meng and the grand elder, Han Hao, brought the ck grasses and visited the alchemist elder in the courtyard. They showed them a de of ck-grass to see his reaction. Wu Buyi had been working for Life Sword Sect as an alchemist elder for 150 years. He was a nascent soul stage cultivator, the same as the grand elder and Han Meng. He was also bald, but his goatee differentiated him from Han Hao. As for the rest of the features, they looked closely the same as if they were twins. Betraying Han Meng and Han Hao''s expectations, the alchemist master didn''t flinch. His hands reached out and picked up the leaf to check it up close. "This is a thousand-year-old immortal grass. You have it too, I see." The grand elder Han Hao looked surprised. Also, they heard the keywords. Someone had it, too? Han Hao coughed and got to business. "How about it, Wei Buyi? How many elixir pills can you make with this? Can you make about... five pills?" "FIVE?!" Wei Buyi, the alchemist master scoffed. "You must be joking! With this, I can make at least 20 if I have the other ingredients! Of course, the sess rate will be very high because it''s a high-quality ingredient. If I''m trying to make 30 pills, I''m sure at least 20 wille out perfectly! As for the rest, even if they are failed pills, they will still be edible! Put those in an auction, and many crazy bastards will sell their souls to get one!" Noticing Wei Buyi''s confidence, Han Meng and Han Haoughed. One pill could increase their lifespan by 100 years and improve their internal Qi by 1,000 years'' worth of cultivation! However, Wei Buyi guaranteed 20 pills. Moreover, they still hid 49 des of grass with the same quality. If they could force Wei Buyi to turn everything into pills, they would get about 1,000 elixirs! 500 years of lifespan was well-spent. In tion, Han Meng could no longer suppress his facial muscle. He widely grinned as he was over the moon. Han Hao was the same. His expression was the same as Powerball Lottery winners. They were rich! Seeing the obnoxious smiles of the father-and-son duo, Wei Buyi clicked his tongue. He could tell that both of them had more than one leaf. "Tell me honestly. How many immortal grasses do you have?"I think you should take a look at "What are you talking about?" Han Hao giggled. Wu Buyi then dropped a bomb. "Gao Yan has a whole bundle of immortal grasses, and I''ve promised to make pills for him. If he has a whole bundle, I know you have more. Also, we''ve been friends for 100 years, Han Hao! I can tell when you''re hiding something from me. You always had that stupid smile whenever you boasted about your fortuitous encounters or newly acquired treasures!" Han Meng looked at his father. Thetter''s smile was frozen. Han Hao''s expression darkened for a moment before he decided to be honest. "You''re right. We have 50 grasses, including that one. All of them are the same quality." "I KNEW IT!" Wei Buyi sneered. He stood and walked closer to Han Hao. Then, the former stared into the grand elder''s eyes. "You know me well, Han Hao. I''m not someone who steals resources or snitches my friends. Just tell me honestly. Where did you get those from? Was it from the same mysterious rogue cultivator in the forest? If you don''t tell me, I''ll freaking pack up and leave this sect!" Han Meng deeply sighed. He confessed, "From a rogue cultivator in a forest, yes. I went to investigate Gao Yan''s case and found the person. He sold me 50 of these for 500 years of my lifespan." "Ah, a simr story as Gao Yan''s, I see." Wei Buyi was not surprised, but he figured out something important, "Wait a second. If he can leech your lifespan, is he from an unorthodox sect? Is he an evil cultivator? Did he curse you?" "N-No. That''s impossible! His aura is the same as the sect master! He has a bright rainbow aura, and light follows him everywhere!" Han Hao and Wu Buyi were curious. They wanted to see this person. Wu Buyi gazed at the grasses. He imposed a condition. "I want half of thepleted pills from these grasses. You provide me the immortal grasses, and I''ll procure the rest." "Half?!" Han Hao frowned, "Look, Buyi. We''ve brought you the key ingredients. Our share should be higher." "You punks scammed a righteous rogue cultivator! If you two risked your life to get these, I would have asked only one-tenth of the share! But since you took advantage of someone else''s kindness, I''ll take half!" "Oh,e on! What about Gao Yan?" Ѧdsvel.cm "He''s my core disciple, so all pills will belong to him!" "That''s not fair, Buyi!" "No excuses, dammit! And you, Han Meng! You should have taken only one or two leaves from that person. I''m sure he tested your character and you FAILED, YOU GREEDY PUNK!" Han Meng lowered his eyes. He felt guilty. As Wu Buyi had said - If the mysterious Florida Man tested him, he already failed. "I-I''m sorry, senior. I was greedy." "Haiz. You two are hopeless now. Anyway, since we''ve gotten the immortal grasses with us, I''ll refine everything. Now, the next question." Wu Buyi red at Han Meng. He was still angry. "What''s this mysterious expert''s name and origins?" As Han Meng was in front of two seniors, he obediently told everything. "I-I don''t know his name, but his Daoist name is Florida Man. By the way, I''ve been wanting to ask everyone. What is Florida?" "..." Han Hao and Wu Buyi looked at each other. They had no idea what FLORIDA meant. "What''s Florida?" Han Hao asked Wu Buyi. "You don''t know? Hell, if you don''t know, how would I know?" Wu Buyi yelled. "But you''re an alchemist. You know more about herbs, nts, and random vocabry! All my life, I only trained in sword fighting! You''re smarter than me!" "Haiya. You people are useless." Wu Buyi gave up on the two. He walked back to his chair and sat down. Then, he dered his intention. "Tomorrow, I''m going to pay that cultivator a visit. I''m older than you, so I can ask him from the source what FLORIDA means. Also, if he owns immortal grasses, I''m sure he has other top-rated nts and herbs." Han Hao smiled, "I''ll go with you. I want to see him too." "No, if you go, he will definitely be offended because your son took advantage of him. I''m an alchemist. He can''t afford to y tricks with me." Wu Buyi was determined to use his identity as an alchemist to intimidate the mysterious cultivator for information. Also, he believed that this FLORIDA MAN had other herbs than the immortal grasses. Chapter 10 Florida Man Angers Vegan Neighbor By Growing Plant ?Chapter 10 C Florida Man Angers Vegan Neighbor by Growing nt SIZZLE Fishy salty odor mixed with the scent of fresh meat. Leo flipped a piece of dire wolf meat on the ck BBQ grill, which he had purchased from the Online Shopping Store. Five more steak-cut were also ced on the same iron bars, letting off a nice smell from the ck charcoal below. No BBQ party was without a good cold beer. Leo sacrificed 20 years of his lifespan to purchase a gallon of beer and an ice machine. He made a bucket''s worth of ice cubes and cooled the beer jar while he was busy with the grill. Leo checked the shopping menu for some fresh vegetables and seasoning ingredients. However, the price tag intimidated him. [Lettuce (1pc)] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Spinach (1pc)] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Cabbage (1pc)] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Carrot (1pc)] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Bell Pepper (1pc)] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan Aside from alcohol, food-rted items cost a lot. Beef and pork were worse as the shop demanded 5,000 years of lifespan per pound. Even a package of processed sandwich bread cost 2,500 years. "It was three zeros less when I was on Earth! What the hell, shopping system?!" Leo wanted to cry but he had no tears. He pursed his lips in frustration. In the end, he chose to purchase some seasoning sauces from the shop instead. He got salt, sugar, pepper powder, and BBQ sauce. AWOOO! AWOOO! While Leo was cooking, wolf howls echoed in the forest. Leo ignored them and minded his business. He put the medium-rare dog steak on a te and sniffed at it. It smelled like a roastedmb. Although wolves rarely stored fat in their meat, it was juicy enough. Leo cut the steak with a knife. Then, he tested it without sauce. Surprisingly, it tasted like salmon with a roastmb odor. DING Leo widened his eyes. He only ate a mouthful of dog meat, but his lifespan increased by a year. He looked at the remaining food and estimated that each steak could grant him about 10-15 years of lifespan. "Hot damn! I can get used to this!" Nothing beat good food. Leo added salt and pepper to the steak and gently cut it to fit a small bite. Then, he slowly enjoyed the rare taste. GRRRRR While Leo stood in front of his BBQ stove and chew his food, seven dire wolves walked out of the woods and surrounded him. They bore their fangs, snarling. Leo turned around while he carried the te of steak. He widely grinned. "How nice! More food justes to me by itself. But this can be troublesome. I can''t just mutate the rest of y''all, or you will rot before I can eat you." Leo''s refrigerators were full, so he had no ce to store more carcasses. Moreover, mutated carcasses rot at a faster rate than regr beef or pork due to the radiation. Leo also had about 40 pounds worth of wolf meat and 20 pounds of jelly bones to work with. Since it was impossible to eat all seven new wolves and the previous carcass, Leo operated the shopping menu, searching for arge cage for big animals. He was not disappointed. Arge cage for dogs cost only two years of lifespan. Leo picked up ck grasses and shoved them in his mouth, replenishing his lifespan. Then, he bought two cages to test things out. GROWL One of the wolves sprinted toward Leo and opened its jaws, aiming to snap Leo''s neck in half. Leo tilted his head and dodged the mouth. He leisurely put on gloves and boots so that he wouldn''t touch them. As soon as the first wolf attacked, two wolves came for his legs. "Oh, tactical teamwork?" Leo put down the te and kicked one of the wolves. The right foot hit its head, which exploded on impact! Brain and flesh scattered everywhere, causing the six wolves to flinch. He kicked the ground and instantly seized the necks of two nearby wolves. The wolves resisted, baring their fangs at Leo. However, the old man patiently dragged the two doggies to the purchased cages. He tossed the two in one of the cages and locked it. WARRA Unfortunately, one of them caught Leo''s left ankle. The others shifted the target to half-eaten meat on the te. "Ah, shit. My damn reflex. I''m getting old." Leo sighed and looked at the wolf that bit his ankle. Its fangs were sharp and the jaws were powerful. However, they failed to go through thebination of rubber and Leo''s tough skin. He grabbed the back of its neck and lifted it up before its saliva or tongue touch his skin. SIZZLE The fangs slowly rotted. Leo giggled and gently pulled its fang before the corrosion reached its gum. Then, he tossed it into the second cage. When Leo turned around, the three remaining wolves backed away. They got the half-eaten steak from the te in their mouths, and they started chewing it, mocking Leo. Leo shook his head, "Bad dogs. Oh, well. I have three more mutated dogs to butcher. Oh, I forgot. Make it four. I identally killed one." By the time Leo finished his sentences, the three wolves copsed. They foamed their mouths, but they hadn''t been mutated yet. Leo walked toward them and checked their conditions. He found the half-eaten steak, which they had vomited.I think you should take a look at They reminded him of the early days of the nuclear fallout period. At that time, Leo and many humans evolved into mutants as their cancer cells stopped trying to kill the hosts. They became immune to radiation and general ailments. However, they struggled with food issues as no livestock survived the ordeal. Mutants soon hunted each other for food while Leo only ate rotten nts and poisonous mushrooms to live. He saw how a mutant died due to food poisoning after they ate fellow mutants or mutated animals. It happened again. These wolves tried to eat a first-stage mutated animal, and they suffered the same fate as the others. "Y''all are stupid. None of y''all mutated seven times as I did. You will probably die in a day or two because of minor radiation poisoning. I''ll probably butcher you first before the cancer cells ruin the good non-mutated meat." Leo snorted and bought three more cages and tossed the sick wolves in there. Then, he checked the carnage that they had caused. The steak on the grill was slightly burnt. The dish was broken, and the first piece of seasoned steak was already a mush due to the wolves. Leo calmly flipped the remaining steaks on the grill. They were slightly charred on one side, but they were still edible. Leo rested the steak and tidied the ce. He put the doggy cages at the front of the store, waiting to be butchered. As for the headless one, Leo hung it upside down next to the store to drain the blood. After the chore, Leo returned to the BBQ grill and resumed cooking. . 20 minutester, Leo''s belly was so round, and he couldn''t eat anymore. He tossed the leftover steak to the trash bin, which would be given to "Cat" along with wolf''s innards, inedible rotten meat, and blood. He went to the stream and scooped a bucket of water to clean the dish. While he was at it, he rechecked his current lifespan. Leo profited a bit from one meal. However, he was dissatisfied. ''At this rate, it will take ages. I can only get 50-70 years per meal. It will take a long time to upgrade every fridge in the house.'' Leo deeply sighed and wished that someone would visit him to purchase the grasses again. . . Wu Buyi floated in the sky, gazing at the dark blue forest east of the city. In the Sword Saint Boulder Forest, blue trees, spirit grasses, and countless blue nts reced the greenery. One-third of the forest glowed in blue light. If the forest was only blue, Wu Buyi would have been overjoyed. However, at the ce where the Sword Saint Boulder was located, a sinister aura of a monster stood out like a sore thumb. A thick fog covered its appearance, but the green aurora in the sky didn''t hide its presence. ''Green aura belongs to sentient spirit nts or wood-type monsters. I''ve seen countless tree monsters and man-eating trents, but I have never seen a nt monster that produces fog. Is that the work of the rumored rogue cultivator?'' Wu Buyi got closer to the fog. As he got closer, he sensed the aura of a newly mutated sentient nt. The alchemist let out a long sigh of relief. ''Just a second-stage monster nt. It''s harmless to me. A team of outer disciples can take care of that. I''ll leave it to the outer disciple division.'' Believing in his strength and experience, Wu Buyi flew over the fog area. When he was above the Sword Saint Boulder, he gazed down, checking what the monster was. Then, Wu Buyi saw therge ck chomper nt on the vines around the rock. It also looked up, smiling at him. "Meow!" "" Wu Buyi paused and rubbed his eyes. He slightly shook his head to get rid of potential hallucinations. Then, he checked the monster again. "Meow!" It was real. Wu Buyi wasn''t dreaming. "What the hell are you?!" "Meow!" Although the chomper meowed like a cat, it opened its mouth like a newborn bird, asking its parent to feed it. Wu Buyi''s expression turned dark. He had the urge to uproot this monster nt and bring it back to the sect to study. However, he was afraid of offending the mysterious cultivator here. "I''lle back and deal with youter. This ce doesn''t wee a monster like you!" "Meow?" The chomper nt tilted its head, unable to understand the alchemist. The old alchemist snorted and looked east. Then, he found a wooden cabin near the stream. "That must be the one." Wu Buyi ignored the chomper and flew toward Leo''s shop. . "Meow?" Meanwhile, the chomper was crestfallen, disappointed that Wu Buyi didn''t feed him. "Meow..." He was hungry. Even though he had just eaten a lot, he wanted more. Suddenly, the wind picked up and blew from west to east, carrying the scent of the BBQ and wolf blood. Chomper drooled. Its vines and roots wiggled, extending and following the scent toward the source. It dragged its body from the septic tank and the boulder, crawling toward Leo''s cabin. Chapter 11 Local Cultivator Suspects Florida Man As Scammer, Gets Scammed ?Chapter 11 a Local Cultivator Suspects Florida Man as Scammer, Gets Scammed After getting more meat sources, Leo got to work. He calmly butchered the headless wolf first and extracted its non-mutated meat. He also spent 100 years of his lifespan upgrading one of the freezer chests to store the food. Cutting and skinning a wolf wasn''t difficult since Leo didn''t need to be careful about the quality. After all, he didn''t run a butcher shop. The meat was for his rare non-contaminated food. Thus, Leo finished extracting the bones from the useful meat in minutes. For the sake of the experiment, Leo tried holding the regr bones in with his bare hand. SIZZLE Sure enough, it slowly turned green first. A few minutester, it turned into ck jelly. Leo shrugged and collected the jelly into one of the bins in front of his store. Since he hated salty food, he nned to convert these into fish sauce or feed it to "Cat"ter. After he finished with the headless wolf, he turned his attention to the three dying wolves. "Alright. Your turn." Leo approached the wolves. He opened one of the cages and dragged one of them over. As Leo finished hanging the wolf upside down, an elderly bald man with a goatee descended andnded 10 meters behind him. Leo sensed the stranger and turned around. "Hello, sir." "... What''s up?" Leo calmly responded. "My Daoist name is Green Thumbs, and I''m an alchemist from Life Sword Sect. I''ve been living here for decades, and I happen to notice that you''ve recently moved here. I wonder if I could know your name." ''Daoist name again?'' Leo wondered if the previous customer rmended his new friend to his shop. He smiled at a potential customer. ''Alright, Mr. Green Finger. Since you''vee here, you can''t leave without spending your precious lifespan in my store. Let''s see if he will buy my ck weed, too.'' Leo coughed and introduced himself, "My Daoist name is Florida Man! Wee! I assume you heard about me from your friend." "Indeed." The elderly man stood there, looking at the wolves in the cages. He frowned and stared at the dying wolf that Leo had hung. Then, he nced at the BBQ stove nearby. Leo followed the eyes of the old man and nced at his BBQ equipment. He smiled, "Are you interested in my cooking tools?" "Cooking tool?" "Yes. I use this to grill steak." The bald elder frowned, "You still cook despite your cultivation base?" Cultivation Base? Leo had never heard of the terms. He was curious if it was rted to the visiting superhuman Daoists in this world. Still, for the sake of maintaining his face and reputation, he chose not to ask for a trantion. "What''s the point of abstaining from food if you can live a thousand years? For starters, every person''s time is limited. You should enjoy every little thing in life." As Leo said, he activated the shopping domain and disyed the elder''s lifespan status. . Name: Wu Buyi Age: 108 Remaining Lifespan: 852 Years, 4 Months, 20 Days, 1 Hour, and 15 Minutes. . "Oh, wow." Leo was impressed. The previous guy had 700ish years to live, but this one rocked 850 years. Moreover, he was already 108 years old. He giggled and walked back to his store. He then brought out a bundle of ck grasses to show Wu Buyi. "So, are you here to buy my weed, too? Is it so good that you need some for yourself?" . . = A few minutes earlier, Wu Buyi''s POV = After Wu Buyi left the chomper nt alone, he flew east and found a wooden cabin of Leo. He secretly lurked on top of a pine tree, observing the old man with long white hair and a white full beard. Leo was busy chopping a headless dire wolf''s carcass with his cleaver. From Wu Buyi''s perspective, his action looked the same asmoners. ''Butchering? What''s for? Cultivators like us can easily survive without food or water. If we really need one, we just use the grain pills instead. We can also digest Qi in the environment and obtain the necessary nutrition. Food only gives us impurities and fiber. It''s going to annoy the hell out of you if you enter seclusion and need to go to a toilet or remove the impurity.'' Wu Buyi reprimanded Leo in his mind. He suspected that thetter was a fake cultivator, so he tried to measure Leo''s strength. Wu Buyi circted his Qi into his eyes, gazing through the bright aurora and colorful aura of Leo. Then, he narrowed his eyes as he noticed something irregr. A sixth stage cultivator, aka the Soul Formation Stage cultivator, had a distinct colorful aura and presence. As theypleted aplex array of their soul and physique, every movement of theirs always burst with vigor and force. A slight touch from them could instantly kill amoner if they weren''t careful, and no cultivators below the 3rd stage could withstand their natural pressure up close. However, from Gao Yan''s story, Leo seemed to be a kind senior with the same aura as their sect master, who was also a soul formation cultivator. With that information, Wu Buyi found a loophole in Gao Yan''s testimony.I think you should take a look at No disciple in the sect could meet their sect master and have a proper conversation because of the master''s natural pressuring aura. If Leo was really a sixth-stage cultivator, how did Gao Yan return unharmed after he conversed with him? Meanwhile, Leo, who was butchering a wolf, indeed had the same colorful aura as the sect master. However, hecked the terrifying pressure of a sixth-stage cultivator. Something was not right. Wu Buyi intended to investigate further by making contact with him. He came down from the tree and stood not far away from Leo. It took a few seconds for Leo to turn around. Again, Wu Buyi found it strange. Had it been other experts, they would have drawn their weapons and attacked without an introduction. Leo''s reflex and reaction speed were too slow. ''Is he just slow, or is he that confident in his strength? I don''t know anymore.'' Wu Buyi initiated the conversation first to probe for more information, "Hello, sir." Leo turned around and smiled at him, "What''s up?" "My Daoist name is Green Thumbs, and I''m an alchemist from Life Sword Sect. I''ve been living here for decades, I happen to notice that you''ve recently moved here. I wonder if I could know your name." "My Daoist name is Florida Man! Wee! I assume you heard about me from your friend." "... Indeed." Wu Buyi slightly raised his eyebrows. He nned to ask about the meaning of "Florida"ter. For now, he nned to unmask this suspicious old man. Ѧdsvel.cm But then, Wu Buyi noticed strange tools in front of the cabin. One of them was a metallic cylinder with leg stands. As for the rest, they looked like containers, made from unknown bright materials. "Are you interested in my cooking tools?" Asked Leo. "Cooking tool?" Wu Buyi inwardly sneered. He mocked Leo for relying on cooking. "Yes. I use this to grill steak." Testing Leo''s character, Wu Buyi asked him, "You still cook despite your cultivation base?" "What''s the point of abstaining from food if you can live a thousand years? For starters, every person''s time is limited. You should enjoy every little thing in life." Lifespan? At that moment, Wu Buyi almost smacked his forehead. He remembered that Han Meng and Gao Yan said that the Florida Man had one unique ability. Lifespan stealing? Life force cultivator? An unorthodox cultivator? Wu Buyi leaned toward thest guess as Leo acted strange. Unfortunately, something appeared in front of Wu Buyi before he could jump to a conclusion. DING A wall of text manifested in front of Wu Buyi, revealing his own lifespan. Wu Buyi widened his eyes in astonishment. He ignored the value of his remaining years and tried to touch the texts. However, his hands went through the menu as if they were holograms. He didn''t notice that Leo went back into his cabin and fetched an armful of ck grasses to show him. "So, are you here to buy my weed, too? Is it so good that you need some for yourself?" Wu Buyi stopped paying attention to his lifespan status and gazed at Leo. Then, he found a bunch of high-quality immortal grasses in his arms. "T-This..." A lot of things didn''t make sense. Wu Buyi was confused. As Wu Buyi had too many questions in his mind, he decided to be direct and ask Leo about his doubts. "Seriously, sir. Who are you?" "As I said, I''m Florida Man." Unable to suppress his curiosity, Wu Buyi asked for a trantion. "What does FLORIDA mean, then?" Leo grinned. He made a hush gesture and teased Wu Buyi, "A faraway ce that you can''t possibly reach in your lifetime. Instead of wasting two billion years to get there, I suggest you be satisfied with what you have in this world." "!!!" Wu Buyi picked up a few keywords. His brain calcted and deduced Leo''s origin with the information. A faraway ce? Two billion years to get there? This world? Wu Buyi''s breaths became ragged and short. He came up with a wild theory. ''Is he from a cultivator from a higher realm?!'' Chapter 12 Florida Man Worshiped For Being Righteous Scammer ?Chapter 12 C Florida Man Worshiped for Being Righteous Scammer ''No mistaking it! He''s a cultivator from a higher realm! But'' Several questions remained unanswered. Wu Buyi couldn''t tell if Leo had further ulterior motives other than stealing cultivators'' lifespan. Nothing beat information from the source. Wu Buyi directly asked him. "Which sect or cult are you from, Daoist Florida Man." Leo paused. As he had no background, he couldn''t say that he came from an organization. Still, for the sake of rapport, Leo decided to be honest. "I''m alone, mister. I''m not from a sect or religion." "So, you must be a rogue cultivator," Wu Buyi made progress. He probed further. "Are you cultivating life force? Is that why you need my lifespan?" Leo was annoyed as this customer asked too much. Still, he wore a friendly mask and came up with an excuse. "I''m just a wandering weed merchant. I always carry these and exchange them for lifespan. Also" Leo put the ck grass on the table. Then, he picked up the jelly bone of the wolves from the trash bin. However, he identally touched the blood and innards of the headless wolf. Unnoticed, everything in the bin rapidly mutated. Unaware of the mutation in the trash bin, Leo leisurely showed the piece of jelly bone, "I can also extract these things from monsters. Want some?" When Leo picked the ck jelly bones out, Wu Buyi was surprised by their aura and smell. He walked closer to get a better look, "Can I see it?" Leo was kind. He let Wu Buyi examine it. As soon as Wu Buyi sniffed it, he instantly identified the thing. ''Fenrir''s bone marrow essence? Where did he get this from?! This is the key ingredient of supreme bone nourishing pills that can even help a patient regenerate their lost limbs!'' Fire in Wu Buyi''s eyes was ignited. He rushed to the trash bin and noticed the pool of ck blood, ck innards, and simr bones in there. He almost vomited blood. ''Fenrir''s fresh blood, intestines, heart, and even liver?! Such precious ingredients are piling into this container? Why?! Doesn''t this guy know what they can be used for? The heart can be made into dantian enhancement pills to expand one''s Qi volume. Fenrir Intestine and Liver are the main ingredients of earth-grade antidotes, and they can even cure rotten flesh! Even the blood can be consumed raw to replenish one''s lost blood and Qi. Oh, dear lord. What a waste!'' The alchemist''s eyes were bloodshot. He coughed several times, suppressing his spiking blood pressure, excitement, and frustration. Wu Buyi''s voice cracked, "Don''t you know the value of these precious ingredients, fellow Daoist?" Leo shrugged as he didn''t think much of it. At the end of the day, these organs would turn into fertilizer for CAT. "They''re just cat food for me." Once again, Wu Buyi coughed several times because of the heartache. Still, unlike Han Meng or Gao Yan, he suppressed his greed and maintained his clear mind. "Is this a joke, fellow Daoist Florida Man?! Are you testing me just like you did to my junior?" Hearing that Wu Buyi know the previous customer, Leo brightly smiled. He thought to himself. ''Indeed, words of mouth and viral are the best marketing method! I guess I need to calm this male Karen first and get on his good side. Then, I can scam him for more lifespan!'' Leo stroked his beard and snickered, "That was not a joke, mister. They have no value to me. But if you really need those things in my trash can, I''ll sell everything to you." "R-Really?!" Wu Buyi''s heart almost skipped a beat. He wondered how much Leo would demand such precious ingredients. "Of course. However" Leo hesitated. As the innards, blood, heart, liver, and bones gave him no lifespan, he had nothing topare its value. Thus, he couldn''t think of a proper price tag. Since Leo couldn''te up with the right price, he pushed the task to Wu Buyi. He tested the alchemist for real. "I''ll let you name the price, mister. But bear in mind, I only need your lifespan. I don''t need your money." "" Wu Buyi gulped and gazed at the content in the bin, calcting how many rare pills he could get from these ingredients. He also wondered what expressions his alchemist colleagues would have when they see those precious medicines. Fame Glory Reputation Thinking of the rewards he could potentially earn, Wu Buyi''s blood pressure was over 200. His face reddened, and he sensed a throbbing pain in his neck and throat. Even though Wu Buyi was overwhelmed by greed and ambition, he was sober enough to think of the consequences of this deal. Since Leo allowed him to set a price tag, Wu Buyi didn''t dare to take advantage of this opportunity. ''This is clearly a test for me. Alright. Let''s think this through. He came from a higher realm. His aura is the same as the sect master, but he has no natural Qi pressure of a soul formation stage. Well, since he''s from a higher ne, his cultivation method might be so unique and mysterious to the point that I can''t see through his abilities. As for these resources, they might havee from the higher realm as well. But there''s one thing I''m curious about. I clearly saw him butchering the wolf and dumping the innards into this bin. Why did they turn into the mythical beast Fenrir''s innards? Could it be? Oh, right. He must have noticed my arrival, so he must have swapped the regr innards with the Fenrir''s one to test me! Dammit. I''m so dumb!'' After a long train of thought, Wu Buyi made a decision. "Two hundred years!" The alchemist dered. "Two hundred?"I think you should take a look at On the other hand, Leo was surprised. He thought that he would get at best 10 years or so from the trash. He raised one of his eyebrows in amusement. Seeing Leo''splex expression, Wu Buyi broke a sweat. He thought that his offer was too low. "Scrap that. Three hundred!" "Huh? Three hundred?" Again, Leo was stunned. His widened eyes were round, and he tilted his head to the side, giving Wu Buyi a meaningful look. Noticing the change of expression, Wu Buyi sweated profusely. ''Was that not enough? Hold on a second. How could three hundred years be enough! The Fenrir Wolves are immortal beasts. Only a team of soul-transformation-stage experts can hunt one of them at a time. Of course, considering the expedition resources, 300 years of lifespan is an insult!'' Wu Buyi looked at his remaining lifespan in the floating menu. His breaths were ragged and short as he made the most important decision in his life. ''Screw it. What''s the point of living 800 years?! If I''m at wit''s end, I can just borrow one of the immortal grasses from Gao Yan or Han Hao to extend my lifespan! I must give it my all!'' Finally, Wu Buyi made his final offer. "800 years! I''ll give you all I have!" "" Leo blinked several times and rechecked Wu Buyi''s lifespan again. ''He has 852 years to live, but he''s throwing 800 years for the trash? Is he retarded?'' Although Leo needed lifespan to upgrade his store and improve his life quality, his mortal integrity stopped him from stripping this man of his precious lifespan. He purposely counteroffered to make it less painful. Leo shook his head, "I''m not going to take advantage of you. I''ll only take 500 years." "EH?!" Wu Buyi''s knees suddenly lost all strength. He fell on his butt and looked at Leo, wondering if he passed Leo''s test. Leo continued, "Look at me. Someone like me can''t possibly open a shop in the middle of a city. If I do, people will die because of radiation poisoning. I also can''t afford to let you run out of lifespan. I still need you to spread the word about my store, you know. Well, since you''ve shown me your sincerity, I can''t let you leave empty-handed. Take the weed with you." After saying that, Leo shoved the armful of grasses to Wu Buyi and quickly finished the deal, taking 500 years from Wu Buyi''s pool. Meanwhile, Wu Buyi gazed at the bundle of ck grasses. Counting them with his eyes, there were more than what Gao Yan and Han Hao had. A few pills made from one leaf were enough to recover his life force! The alchemist was moved to tears. ''Not only do you bestow me precious ingredients, but you also give me a way to restore my lifespan. Lord Florida Man, you are indeed a righteous cultivator! Someone as kind as you can''t possibly be from an evil sect! I was stupid. I should have believed in Gao Yan and Han Meng from the beginning!'' Wu Buyi slowly lowered his head and kowtowed. "I swear with my dao oath. I, Wu Buyi, will never forget this kindness! I will cross mountains, jump into River Styx, or y any immortal beast for you to return this favor!!" "" Leo''s eyes turned into small dots. He nkly stared at Wu Buyi as if he gazed at a weirdo. ''What the hell did he smoke before hee here?'' Awkward, Leo scratched his head and looked around. Then, he noticed that he had a lot of emptynd that could be turned into farnd. ''Right. I can''t rely on ck grasses as the only merchandise. I should try something else, such as vegetables and fruits. How about growing them here? I''ll sell both conventional veggies and mutated ones. Maybe these freaks will like it.'' Leo coughed and came up with an idea. "Actually, I have a favor to ask. I need to buy something from the city. I wonder if I canmission you." Wu Buyi looked up. His pupils sparkled as if he was an anime character, "Of course! You can count on me! I''ll run an errand for you!" "Err," Leo was taken aback by Wu Buyi''s change of attitude. Still, he made his request, "I need some local fruits and vegetables. Oh, do they sell their seeds? I wish to grow some crops here." "Crops?" Wu Buyi widely grinned. As an alchemist, he was well-versed in herbs and nts. ''Ah, is he nning to make a spirit farm here? Come to think of it, the forest has turned blue. He must be trying to convert this useless forest into spirit farnd. If I can persuade him to stay here, the Life Sword Sect can get another source of spirit herbs!'' Wu Buyi rubbed his hands like a crooked merchant, "Of course, sir. I''ll go get the best quality seeds for you!" "About the payment," Leo smiled and was about to exchange his lifespan for gold bars. However, Wu Buyi interrupted him. "No need, sir! I''ll take care of everything!" "" Chapter 13 Florida Man Claims He Deciphers Cat Language ?Chapter 13 C Florida Man ims He Deciphers Cat Language Wu Buyi collected the grasses and trash bin into his spatial ring. Then, he flew away. After the alchemist had left, Leo giggled as he managed to get 500 years richer. He rushed to the cabin and upgrade five slide-door refrigerator chests. He transferred the regr wolf meat into one of them and stored the mutated one in another. The meat storage issue was resolved. Most freezers were now functional, and Leo could start disying his goodies in the disy fridges. Leo couldn''t stop smiling. He danced his way out of the store and returned to the butcher site. However, when Leo got outside, he saw something disturbing. A walking chomper nt was eating one of the wolves. "Cat" was here. As soon as Cat noticed Leo''s presence, it turned around to greet him. "Meow!" Leo frowned at it since it was eating his food, "Yo, you silly cat. That''s my food though." "HISS!" "" The chomper hissed as it protested. It continued chewing the wolf, savoring the taste of fresh blood. Leo gazed at the nt and measured its size with his eyes. Its head was about one meter tall and the length was about the same. It barely managed to eat the dire wolf whole, and it struggled to chew the hard bones as its teeth were still too soft. Seeing how it struggled, Leo offered it a deal. "Look. I know you''re hungry, but you''re not supposed to steal unprocessed food. If you let me process it for you, I''ll give you the blood and the soft innards, okay?" "Meow?" Unable to understand Cat, Leo tried to use the shop domain function if it could trante the meowingnguage. DING . Name: Cat Age: 0 Remaining Lifespan: 700 Years . The system disyed Cat''s lifespan, and Leo almost coughed blood, envious of the monster. "What the hell?! How is your lifespan so long?! Oh, wait. He''s a nt, of course." Leo suddenly had a sick idea. He wondered if he could extract Cat''s lifespan, so he tried to steal it. DING "Tsk." He failed. Unless Cat allowed Leo to take his lifespan, he couldn''t steal it. Thus, Leo tried to scam it. "Hey, kitty cat. Look here." Leo walked toward one of the wolf cages. He dragged the dog out and grabbed it with his bare hand, causing the dire wolf to swell. It stopped moving, and its soul was Isekaied to the afterworld. While Cat was busy with the regr wolf, Leo hung the wolf upside down and slit its throat, draining its blood. He also cut its stomach and harvested the internal organs. Looking at the ck heart of the wolf, Leo pursed his lips, wondering why Wu Buyi overreacted because of these unusable parts. ''Come to think of it, what was his job again? He introduced himself as what? Chemist? No, this is a Wuxia world. Chemists don''t exist. What was the term again?'' A long time passed since Leost read a novel or watched movies. He tried hard to recall the word. Leo had a feeling that he almost got it, but it got stuck at the back of his head. Unable to recall the word, Leo deeply sighed. He allocated the intestines to a new bucket, but he kept the fresh heart and liver in another container. Then, he showed Cat the container with the intestines. "Kitty, those are too hard to chew. How about something softer? Oh, it won''t be free, of course. I''ll need to take some of your lifespans in exchange." "Meow?" Cat stopped trying to chew a whole wolf. It sniffed and crawled toward the bucket of blood and innards. As soon as one of its roots touched the content, it spat the wolf out and chowed the intestines instead. Leo shook his head. He walked toward the half-eaten wolf and spat on it. A few secondster, the corpse mutated and turned ck. Although disgusting, Leo chopped it into smaller pieces for Cat to eat. Cat finished the bucket of blood and intestine in seconds. It turned around to the half-eaten wolf and discovered the pleasant smell of salty and fishy meat. "MEOW!" It hummed and shoved the cut pieces into its mouth. Like a glutton cat, it meowed while it chewed the precious food. Not having anything else to do, Leo observed the man-eating nt. He wondered if this guy was worth raising as a lifespan farm. DING While staring at Cat, the creature''s status changed. . Name: Cat Age: 0 Remaining Lifespan: 2,300 Years . "What in the hell?" Cat''s lifespan sharply increased. Leo widened his eyes in astonishment. *BURP* Cat let out some gas and smiled in satisfaction. It then turned to the hanging carcass of another mutated wolf and licked its lips. Then, it crawled toward it, hoping to get more meat. However, Leo stood in front of it. He crossed his arms. "Kitty, you haven''t paid me for the meal. You need to pay up." "Meow?" It tilted its head. It touched its lips with a big purple leaf. "What do you mean by paying? Of course, your lifespan. You need to transfer some of your lifespans to me in exchange for the food. If you don''t give me lifespan, I can''t keep feeding you." "Meow, meow? Meow!" The chomper suddenly smiled. Then, Leo received a message. "OH HOLD ON A SECOND!! That''s too much!" Instead of being overjoyed, Leo instantly noticed the problem - Cat just gave him all of its lifespans! The nt rapidly withered. Cat looked exhausted, and its movement speed was as slow as a sloth. "Meow" Not allowing Cat to die, Leo grabbed the heart and liver in another bucket. He fed the liver to the nt. He also squeezed the heart like a lemon to give the chomper some more blood. DING . Name: Cat Age: 0 Remaining Lifespan: 200 Years . Cat''s roots, leaves, and vines regained their luster. It swallowed the liver and blood as if it had never eaten anything for days. The nt let out a long sigh of relief. It wearily purred and nudged its head against Leo''s stomach. "You dumb cat. I want your lifespan, but you don''t have to give me everything! Well, since you already gave me a lot, I''ll keep feeding you. You don''t have to give me anything anymore." "Meow?"I think you should take a look at "Yes, I''m adopting you. You''re my cat now." "Meow!" Cat licked Leo''s face. At that moment, Leo realized something horrible. Once again, Cat innocently made a huge mistake. Leo''s skin was radioactive and poisonous. Touching him meant instant death or rapid mutation! ''Did it just touch me? Oh, crap! NOOO!! It''s going to mutate and die, dammit!'''' Leo held in his head in panic and despair. If Cat ran out of lifespan, Leo could simply replenish it by feeding it the mutated wolf''s blood, meat, or organs. However, he was helpless when it came to mutation. Leo shut his eyes in regret, not wanting to witness the torturous moment of his first pet in 50,000 years. A minuteter, Leo sensed a nudge at the back of his head. A soft head of a nt bonked him. "Meow!" "" "Meow, Meow!" "Huh?" Leo turned around in shock. Then, he found the chomper nt, which looked the same as he remembered him. ''He is unaffected?'' Leo''s trembling hand reached for Cat''s head. He gently touched it and slowly stroked it. Surprisingly, the chomper purred. "" No mutation urred. The chomper nt remained the same. "You, you''re not affected by my radiation?" "Meow?" "What is radiation? Dammit, it''s poisonous air. If you touch me, the radiation poisoning will change your DNA structure and disable your healing abilities! Some of your cells will riot and try to French-Revolution you from the inside. In short, all nutrition you have in your blood cells will nourish cancer cells and mutated DNA, turning you into a disfigured monster!" "Meow, meow?" "HOW DID I KNOW?! Listen here, you little shit. You''re looking at the lottery winner from the Fallout world. My DNA structure got reconstructed seven freaking times. I freaking died and came back to life seven times, okay? Let''s not make you repeat the torture I went through." "Meow, meow-meow?" The chomper nt licked Leo''s face and nudged its head against his. Thetter stopped talking and facepalmed. "You''re right. I''m an idiot. You''re immune to my radiation now because you evolved DAMMIT, how did I understand your freakingnguage even though every word sounds the same?!" "Meow <3" Leo covered his face and squatted. He felt like he was about to be crazy. Since the nt was immune to his touch, he patted Cat and deeply sighed. "Oh, well. Whatever. Do you still need to eat more?" "Nom-Nom Meow <3" "" . . After the hectic incident, Leo dug the soil next to his store and allowed Cat to nt its roots there. The chomper happily enjoyed the nutrition in the mutated soil that Leo often stepped on. In the end, Leo mutated another wolf and donated the innards to the nt, but he kept the heart and liver for emergencies. Its lifespan increased to 1,500 years. As for two mutated wolves'' meat, Leo chopped them into small cuts and chilled them in the freezer chest. He also upgraded the three remaining freezers to make them active. With over 2100 years of lifespan in his ount bnce, Leo started nning to upgrade his shop further. He touched one of the supermarket refrigerators to check if he could upgrade it again. DING "" This was the first time Leo heard about this condition. Confused and interested, Leo lightly touched the wall of his store, wondering if he could upgrade it. DING Leo stared at the messages for several minutes due to the utter shock. Then, he yelled. "Damn expensive! It''s just level freaking two! What about level 3? How much does it cost?" No answer came from the system. Once again, it left him in the dark. Leo was not an idiot. If the level two upgrade required 1,000 years of lifespan, the level 3 upgrade might cost him 2,000 to 3,000 years, depending on the system''s cheapskate algorithm. Leo postponed the store upgrade for now as it wasn''t necessary at the moment. He walked out of the building and looked at the three healthy wolves in the cages. He widely grinned. "Stay there obediently, and I''ll butcher you tomorrow." The wolves barked at Leo as if they understood his intention. They tried to break the cage, but they ended up hurting themselves. Leo ignored the wolves and proceeded to the area behind his store. It was an empty plot with a few tall pine trees and bushes. However, because Leo used to walk around here with bare feet to uproot the grasses, the soil was dark. Some parts emitted green smoke as if some chemical substances had been buried there. Although Leo could manually plow this area and turn it into a radioactive vegetable garden, he had another idea of what he could do to this ce. He started counting his steps. "345 Ah, crap. These stupid trees are on the way. I want another 10 x 10 blocks as a backyard farm." Leo hugged the pine trees that stood in the way of his future farm plot. CREAK Like the Hulk, Leo uprooted the massive tree by pulling it off the ground. Then, he tossed it to the side and patted his hands as if it was an easy task. Cat witnessed everything from start to finish. It shivered in fear, imagining itself being uprooted by Leo. "Meow!" Like a scardy cat, it came out of the ground and climbed the store. Then, it sat on the rooftop, warily staring at Leo. After bringing down an entire pine tree, Leo moved to another one, using his bare hands without any protection. The blue tree turned ck and was pulled out from the ground one after another. When Leo finished his job, he got seven mature pine logs lining up in his backyard. "If this is a resource-gathering game, I might need to chop these logs into lumber. But since they are mutated, are the leaves and nuts edible?" Leo proceeded to collect ck pine leaves and nuts. He wondered if he could sell these things to Wu Buyi or his friends again. ''Come to think of it, I might need to interrogate thatst guy. What the hell is he going to use the innards for? Chemistry? No, what was it again?'' Leo scratched his head. While he was in deep thought, he saw a mosquito fly by. Because of his reflex, he pped it without looking. ''p? Hand ps? pping hands Full Metal Alchemist? AH! ALCHEMIST!'' Finally, Leo remembered Wu Buyi''s upation. He smacked his forehead. ''Right! Alchemists! Those Chinese martial arts novels are crazy about those alchemists. They can turn every little thing into pills and medicines wait. Pills and meds? Drugs?'' Leo narrowed his eyes. He began to grasp why Han Meng and Wu Buyi were crazy about the ck grasses. ''Alchemy, is it? Wait, isn''t there something simr in the system shop?'' Leo opened the shopping menu and switched the tap to [Shop Domain System], where he had purchased the cabin from. He rechecked the list of buildable structures. One of them was an alchemist workshop. "Hohoh?" . Basic Alchemist Workshop Requirement C Humble General Store Level 2 Price C 1,000 Years of Lifespan Space C 10 x 10 Chapter 14 Florida Man Claims Coriander Juice Is A New Coffee Blend ?Chapter 14 a Florida Man ims Coriander Juice is a New Coffee Blend "What a coincidence. I have enough for the level-2 upgrading and the workshop. But seriously, even if I have the workshop, I have no clue about pill-making and alchemy. Also, I need to clear the backyard." Although the workshop was expensive and the pill-making method was unknown, Leo was motivated. He resumed clearing the bushes and trees, making room for the new building. As Leo was done with therge trees, he turned his attention to the smaller bushes, starting with the dry and thorny ones. With bare hands, he grabbed the thorny vines of a hard bush and pulled them out. HISS A snake suddenly jumped out of the bush and bit the back of his hand. However, its fangs failed to prate his skin. Still, it spat poisonous substance at Leo. Despite being bitten, Leo leisurely grabbed its tail and tossed it toward an empty area. A few secondster, the snake swelled like a balloon and died from the mutation. Before Leo could process the snake for meat, a certain cat scooped the dead snake with its vines and put it in its mouth. The chomper nt happily ate anything that contained blood. Leo scratched the back of his hand, swiping the liquid away as it made his hand itchy. He resumed pulling bush vines, enjoying his little adventure in his backyard. When the sunset, Leo stopped working. He looked at the vines, which were hardened and ckened because of his radiation. Because of boredom, Leo grabbed the longest vine and cracked it like a whip. It caused a crisp sound as the tail hit the ground. "Oh, yeah. Leo Belmont is gonna hunt you Drac down." Fantasizing himself as the main character from the Castlevania Series, Leo randomly swung the vine whip around. CRACK! RUMBLE The whip identally hit a pine tree 30 meters away, cutting it in half. The tree fell and caused a loud noise in the woods. "..." Because of the loud noise and the broken tree, Leo flinched. He stopped fooling around and coiled the thorny vines. Then, he silently hung it on the back of the store, keeping it as a toy. Unfortunately, his free time was cut short. From the corner of his eyes, Leo discovered a flying man in white robes approaching at a high speed. "Ah, crap. Here we go again." The visitor was none other than Wu Buyi. This bald man slowly descended andnded in front of the store. Leo stopped what he was doing and walked to the front of the store. Then, he noticed that Wu Buyi had brought 30 baskets of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Wu Buyi looked up. Despite being in the dark, his eyes beamed in green light as if they were a spotlight, brightening the area in front of the store. As soon as he saw Leo, Wu Buyi cupped his fist. "Oh, hello, Sir Florida Man. I wasn''t nning to disturb you. I''m here to deliver the fruits and veggies that you requested me." "My request?" Leo paused for a moment and remembered that he asked him to buy some fruits and vegetable seeds from the city. "Oh, right. The veggies. Thank you very much. How much are they?" Wu Buyi quickly waved his hands, "You don''t need to pay, sir. You''ve already given me plenty. This is not even half of what I owe you. Oh, this is all that I can find within half a day. I''ll visit the neighboring towns to gather more for you." "..." Leo didn''t hate free food. He nodded and let Wu Buyi do whatever he wanted. Looking at Wu Buyi, Leo remembered the alchemist subject and the wolf''s blood. He asked the old man directly. "By the way, mister. What do you need the wolf''s blood for? Is it for a... cultivation pill?" Wu Buyi drylyughed in embarrassment, "Truth to be told, yes, sir. For me, Fenrir''s blood and innards are extremely rare ingredients. We couldn''t find them anywhere on the maind no matter how hard we tried. Only the soul-transformation-stage cultivators can risk their lives to get them from a mystic realm. With the blood and innards, the Life Sword Sect will thrive, and even I will benefit from them." ''Fenrir''s blood?'' Leo raised his eyebrows in amusement. Then, he asked further to make sure. "What about the grasses?" Wu Buyi confessed, "Ah, those? The immortal grasses are the key ingredient to the legendary immortal pills that can extend our lifespan. Wait, I thought you knew about them." Leo snorted and waved his hand, "Ah, I just wanted to make sure if your culture is the same as mine. Don''t worry about it." Wu Buyiughed, "Of course. You must be surprised since you''vee from a faraway ce. Culture shock is a thing. Anyway, is there anything else I can help you?" "..." Leo had another doubt. He nced at the three dire wolves in the cages. ''So, the radioactive weeds are immortal grasses? The mutated wolves are called Fenrir? What the hell?'' Probing for more information, Leo pointed at the dire wolves in the cages. He asked Wu Buyi, "What about them? Are they Fenrir, too?" Wu Buyi looked at the caged wolves and burst intoughter, "Of course not, sir. They''re just regr animals. They''re not even a spirit beast." "..." Leo had the urge to mutate them in front of Wu Buyi, but he chose to keep it a secret. He mimicked the alchemist and cupped his fist. "Thank you mister for the fruits and vegetables. You''ve really saved me." "That was nothing," Wu Buyiughed. "Anyway, I''ll be going. I''ll revisit you again after the trip." "Sure..." Wu Buyi took off and left. He disappeared into the night. . .I think you should take a look at While flying in the dark sky, Wu Buyiughed in a good mood. After leaving the store for a minute, he looked back to check the conditions of the forest. The fog got thicker, and it concentrated around Leo''s cabin. As for the area around the Sword Saint Boulder, no fog was present. At night, blue pine trees glowed in the dark, bringing color to the in forest. Wu Buyi widely grinned. ''The trees start to evolve. Sir Florida Man must have been using an artifact or his ability to convert everything around him into a spirit farm. If my theory is correct, a new spirit herb farm will appear in the forest. If better, he might convert those fruits and vegetables into something new. Also, judging from his demeanor and style, his specialties should be in the botany field. Hehehe, if he''s really a botanist, I should invite him to the annual alchemist gathering at the end of the year. I wonder how the other alchemists from Death Sword Sect and Pacifist Sword Sect will react if they know that we have a botanist from the higher realm here.'' Wu Buyi started humming and returned to the Life Sword Sect. 10 minutester, he got back to his residence and found Gao Yan sitting in the herb garden alone, staring at a sprout of a herb. Curious, Wu Buyinded behind Gao Yan. Then, he uttered. "Is that herb that interesting?" "Ah, master!" Gao Yan jolted and stood up, "Disciple is studying the spirit coriander. I read from the encyclopedia, and the book said that it had a pleasant smell. I just want to try sniffing on it. And then, I notice that a new sprout is growing at night." Wu Buyi nodded in approval. He taught Gao Yan a lesson that wasn''t in a book. "Coriander herbs are usually used in cooking. But for that spirit coriander, wemonly use it as an optional ingredient to suppress foul odor because of its pleasant scent and its neutral Qi nature. When we put them in a cauldron to refine pills, it automatically harmonizes the rampaging fire Qi and wood Qi in the ingredients. Many rookie alchemists rely on them to increase their refining sess chance because of their traits." Gao Yan was enlightened. He smiled for a moment before his expression looked gloomy. He seemed depressed. "But disciple can only use wood Qi. I can''t use fire Qi like the other alchemist disciples. I don''t know if I belong here." Aftering here, regr outer disciples respected him. However, the other alchemists ignored Gao Yan, and they refused to share their knowledge, making him depressed. Noticing Gao Yan''s inferiorityplex, Wu Buyi smacked the back of the disciple''s head "You fool. Your constitution has a high aptitude in wood Qi, but that doesn''t mean you can''t cultivate fire Qi in the future. When reaches the golden core stage, you can cultivate a secondary elemental Qi. By then, you can use both fire Qi and Wood Qi, and that is when your advantage shines! Your dantian will condense something called "Wood Essence" and it can be used to refine precious herbs that Fire Qi specialists can''t do! They will naturally kowtow and beg you to help them refine their herbs in the future! Don''t look down on yourself!" Once again, Gao Yan was enlightened and motivated. He bowed to his master. Ѧdsvel.cm "This disciple will keep that in mind! I''ll work hard!" "Hahaha! Maintain that motivation, and you''ll quickly learn so many things. Come. Let''s go have some tea. I''ll teach you more about herbs." The master and disciple duo continued to chat as they walked back to their residence to rest. . . Meanwhile, Leo checked the 30 baskets of vegetables and fruits. 25 of them contained only cabbages and potatoes. Four were filled with bananas, and the other one was full of corianders. Interested in the new goodies, Leo carefully picked up one of the cabbages with his bare hand. The green veggies instantly turned purple and emitted red smoke. Leo sniffed at it, wondering what a mutated cabbage tasted like. Strangely, its odor was the same as regr cabbages. He peeled its skin and chewed it. It was soft and sweet like freshly boiled vegetables. Also, it had the aroma of Earth and freshly cut grasses. "This is awesome! I can use this to rece sandwich bread." Leo finished the cabbages and waited for feedback from the system. DING It was worth the wait. Although eating the entire cabbage made him full, he got something out of it. Leo put on his gloves and carried the cabbage baskets to his store. He put them in the fridges, filling the rest of the slide-door chests to the brim. Afterward, he returned to check the other goodies outside. The potatoes were a no-brainer. Leo carried the baskets to the middle of the store and left them there as he couldn''t preserve them in a freezer. Bananas were also the same as they came in green. Leo had to wait a few days before it could turn yellow and be edible. After Leo put the banana and potato baskets in the store, his attention turned to the coriander. He brought them into his store and arranged everything in one of the supermarket disy fridges. After all, these delicate herbs required a chilling and humid temperature to preserve. When Leo finished tidying everything, he picked up a stalk of coriander to get a closer look. Strangely, everything in this batch produced strange blue air, and it was warmer than usual. "Huh? Aren''t they the regr ones?" Curious, Leo plucked a leaf and put it in his mouth to taste it. As Leo had expected, it had a strong scent of green herb that hit his nose. However, it had an extra vor. There was a faint lingering taste of coffee beans at the tip of his tongue. Although the herb didn''t reward him anything, Leo raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had forgotten how the coffee tasted like after the nuclear apocalypse, but he got to savor the bitter aroma once again. Moving to tears, Leo looked at the remaining coriander. He held his hands in prayer. "Bless Jesus for giving me coffee coriander! I''ll grow them well!" Leo bit his lower lips and mustered his courage. He picked another coriander stalk with his bare hand, converting it into a mutated nt. The stalk and leaves instantly ckened, and its strong aroma exuded throughout the store. The stalk''s temperature rose, and it produced white smoke. The scent smelled exactly like hot ck coffee! Without hesitation, Leo rushed into the storage room and brought out a cup of water. He put the mutated coriander in the cup for an experiment. As Leo had predicted, the water turned ck. It was also heated up because of the mutated herb''s natural hot temperature. Without hesitation, Leo slurped the ck water. The rich aroma of ck coffee made his pupils dte. He almost dropped the cut and the hot water as his theory was correct. Leo got himself a coffee, a mutated coffee! "HALLELUJAH!!" Leo was never this happy. His voice was so loud that birds in the vicinity woke up and flew away from their nests. Chapter 15 Uncle R. Enraged As Florida Man Cooks Fried Rice Using Raw Pine Nuts And Leaves ?Chapter 15 a Uncle R. Enraged as Florida Man Cooks Fried Rice Using Raw Pine Nuts and Leaves DING With just one cup of coffee, Leo''s lifespan increased by a year. Ten minutester, Leo finished his first coffee aftering to this world. After today''s experience, Leo could give a piece of advice to everybody. "Never drink coffee at night, ever." Leo was wide awake. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had the urge to continue working all night. Fortunately, he was sober enough to restrain his workaholic nature. Although having mutated corianders were awesome, Leo couldn''t convert all of them at once due to storage limitations. The supermarket fridges could lower the food''s temperature, but they could not suppress the mutated coriander''s burning hot traits. Leo still held the coriander stalk that he had used to make a cup of coffee. It still produced hot air and white smoke. He could also sense its high temperature from his skin. Judging from the feeling, Leo estimated that the herb was about 60-70 degrees Celsius. ''How the hell do I store this thing? If I put it in a fridge, the fridge will be broken. But if I leave it alone, it might catch fire. But if I directly eat this, I will waste the free coffee generator... Ah, damn. I''m stupid. I can just drop this thing in a pot of water or something.'' Leo held the coriander stalk in his mouth while he operated the system shop. He purchased a set of ss pots and a table. Then, he arranged the table next to the south window and put the pots on it. After filling the pot with drinking water, he dropped the herb into the container. The water bubbled as if it was instantly boiled. The water ckened and emitted a rich coffee aroma. Leo brightly smiled and covered the pot with a ss lid. He then admired the 4-liter pot, which was filled with coriander coffee. "Coffee machine, done! Next, time to upgrade the store and put that workshop on." Leo put his palm on the wall. DING "Yes." It was time for some upgrading as the store had no source of light or electricity. Leo couldn''t stand working in the dark house alone at night. As soon as Leo confirmed the upgrade, the ceiling became taller. The poorly ced windows transformed into disying windows, and fluorescence light bulbs appeared. They automatically turned on, illuminating the interior in the dark night. EEEEEEEEEEE The buzzing hum of fluorescence lights was so loud that it annoyed Leo. However, the store was brighter than before. DING Leo flinched for a moment as he felt like he had heard that quote from somewhere else long ago, but he couldn''t remember. He ignored the voice and inspected the changes in his store. Aside from the disy windows, the wooden floor and the walls seemed sturdier. No wind leaked into the building anymore. However, as no venttion existed, the air in the store was stale. Without circting wind and air conditioner, Leo was dissatisfied. He opened the front door, back door, and a side window to let the airflow. Then, he walked out of the house. The moonless sky provided no source of extra light. Everything outside was pitch ck. Fortunately, the purple fluorescence light illuminated a small area around the building. ZAG-ZAG-ZAG The chomper nt on the rooftop seemed to be active at night. It crawled down from the roof and disappeared into the forest. The weather outside got colder at a rapid rate. Leo pursed his lips as he found the chilling weather nice and refreshing. He had been living in the dry freezing world for 50,000 years, so a humid and chilly night was like a warm breeze to him. As Leo couldn''t sleep, he strolled to the backyard to resume his work. For the entire night, Leo manually cleared the field for his workshop. . When one indulged in an activity, that person''s concentration would be heightened. However, that person usually forgot about time. Leo was the same. He got absorbed in the field that he didn''t notice the sunrise. By the time he finished arranging logs, it was already 8 AM. The backyard was cleared. Leo opened the shop domain menu and purchased the alchemy workshop. . Basic Alchemist Workshop Requirement a Humble General Store Level 2 Price a 1,000 Years of Lifespan Space a 10 x 10 . The requirement was fulfilled. The icon of this building brightened, and Leo had enough lifespan to purchase it. "Let''s see what you can do." Leo did not think much. He purchased it right away to explore the alchemy secrets. After he pressed the confirm button, the same top-down view and grits appeared in his menu, allowing Leo to choose the location of the shop. He moved the 10x10 blocks to the back of the general store. He aligned it for a moment before he pushed the alchemy workshop further back by five blocks, giving spaces between the store and the workshop for a road or a pathway. Then, he pressed enter. RUMBLE A new one-story wooden building appeared. At a nce, it looked like another cabin. However, a quarter of the building was an open-air patio with a huge ck cauldron at the center. Leo inspected the new building and looked inside the ck cauldron. There was nothing in there but the smooth surface of the ck pot. While checking the new goodies, Leo identally touched the pot with his bare hands. DING A new system window floated above the cauldron. It disyed a menu, and a few buttons were highlighted. . Basic Alchemy Workshop Level 1 [Upgrade] a 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Research New Ingredient] [Pill Making] . Leo was amused. He ignored the upgrade button for now as he couldn''t afford it. Thus, he pressed the [Research New Ingredient] button to see what it could do. I think you should take a look at "..." The system didn''t tell him what kind of ingredient it needed. Still, Leo had enough clue to start. He walked to the fallen pine tree and picked up mutated leaves and a raw pine nut. Then, he put the nut in first. He received a feedback message right away. "Yes, please." As soon as Leo confirmed the research, the pine nut in the cauldron vanished. Then, a progress bar appeared, hovering over the cauldron. Under it was a timer, counting down thepletion time. It only took 10 seconds toplete the research on the first item. After the message, another system window appeared, disying the brief detail of the item. . [Iron Pine Nut] These nuts can only be found in a densely Iron Pine Forest in one of the mystic realms. It ismonly used as the main ingredient for Iron Grain Pills. [Pill Recipe a Iron Grain Pill] One - Iron Pine Nut One a Any Starch Fire Qi *Optional* - Any Iron Element Catalyst . Upon noticing the pill recipe in the detail window, Leo started enjoying this. However, there was one troublesome issue. "What the hell is [Iron Element Catalyst]?" Leo scratched his head in confusion as he had no one to consult. Then, he looked at the pine leaves in his hand. Without thinking much, he tossed it into the cauldron and pressed the [Research New Ingredient] button. Again, it only took 10 seconds toplete the automatic research. The result was shown. . [Iron Pine Leaf] Iron Pine Leaves are one of the rare iron-based catalysts, which can be found in an area with the thick iron element Qi. Mixing 100 leaves with any iron-based pill ingredient increases thepletion sess rate and the pill quality. [Traits] Increases the Iron Grain Pill''s pill-making sess rate by 50%. Increases the quality by one major tier. . "What a coincidence. Hehehe." Leo rubbed his hands. He learned a lot by just reading the information from the system window. He closed it and wore his trusty rubber gloves. Then, he entered the store through the back door. A minuteter, Leo came out with a basket of raw potatoes. He put it next to the cauldron and went to the ck pine trees to collect ck pine leaves. When Leo returned, he carried an armful of nuts and several branches of pine trees, full of ck leaves. The ingredients were ready. Leo operated the cauldron menu and pressed the other button that he hadn''t tried yet. [Pill Making] DING The window prompted him to choose a pill recipe from the list. However, it only showed one item as Leo only found one recipe so far. Leo didn''t care. After all, he only had the ingredients to make one type of pill anyway. He chose the recipe, and the cauldron menu disyed the images of the required ingredients. Not even looking at the images, Leo tossed a ck pine nut, pine leaves, and a raw potato into the cauldron. The images of iron pine nuts, random starch, and leaves turned grey. However, the fire icon was still bright. DING "Fire Qi? Wut da hail is Fire Qi? I only know fried rice!" The system hit him in the blind spot. Leo was confused and helpless as he had no idea what Fire Qi was. As he had no idea, he tried something silly. Leo went back to the storefront, where the BBQ set was. He lighted a piece of coal on fire and carried it with tongs. Aftering back with a lump of burning coal, he threw it into the pot. DING The burning coal was ejected from the pot. It was sent flying andnded on top of Leo''s head. Fortunately, the fire couldn''t burn his hair or his skin. Leo was annoyed. He took off his gloves and grabbed the burning coal with his hands. He spat at it and doused the fire instantly without burning his palms. Then, Leoined. "What the hell is Fire Qi? Argh..." In frustration, Leo tossed the lump of coal to the firece under the cauldron. DING Suddenly, the cauldron lit up. The fire icon dimmed, and the system prompted him, requesting his permission. "Essence? Wut?" Leo frowned and looked at the half-burnt coal, which had been spat on. It emitted a foul burning iron scent, which was the same as the ck grasses. "My spit is Essence? Wut da hail?" Chapter 16 Florida Man Addicted To Nutting In Forest ?Chapter 16 a Florida Man Addicted to Nutting in Forest = Life Sword Sect, Alchemy Department = In the morning, Gao Yan woke up early and read a basic alchemy guidebook that he had received from Wu Buyi. He was interested in the applications of Wood Qi and Fire Qi. He skimmed through the trivial parts until his eyes caught on to the topics that he was interested in. ''Ah, found it! Here... Alchemy is not about burning everything in a pot into charcoal. It''s about the choice of elemental Qi and ingredients. An alchemist has to pay extra attention to the element circles because each element gives a different result. For example, fire Qi promotes earth, weakens wood, and dominates metal, but insults water. Okay, this much I know. But what is "Insult" anyway?'' Gao Yan continued to read further. Then, he started to get confused as the rtionship table sounded bizarre. ''Wood Qi promotes fire, weakens water, and dominates... earth? Insult metal? Huh? Metal Qi creates... water?! Weaken earth, dominate wood, and insult fire? What?!'' The disciple scratched his head as he had no idea what "Insult" in alchemy term meant. He flipped the pages to the glossary section in the book. Then, he found the trantion of the word. Insult in the alchemy term tranted to "Harm". For example, fire evaporates water. Water destabilizes earth. Earth rots wood. Wood dulls metal, and metal conducts fire (heat). Gao Yan flipped back to the section that he had left off earlier. He started taking notes as every element had a different effect on another element. Although he didn''t understand the hidden meaning of the description and the rtionship table, Gao Yan felt like he broadened his horizon. ''Alchemy is profound. So, there are things that Wood Qi and Fire Qi can do best, but they can''t refine everything in the world. I wonder if I have to rely on other alchemists if I have to refine water pills in the future.'' Gao Yan continued reading. At the end of that chapter, there was an annotation, made by Wu Buyi. Thetter wrote it for Gao Yan. [An alchemist only needs two types of secondary elemental Qi to refine every element. Inmon practice, average alchemists cultivate fire Qi, wood Qi, and metal Qi, so they can refine almost every type of high-graded pill and some superior pills. Master alchemists usually spend centuries cultivating the third and even the fourth secondary element Qi to be well-versed in every field.] [An alchemist can choose to be a specialist by relying on only two or three elements, or they can be the jack-of-all-grade by spending centuries in cultivation. It''s about personal career choice in the end. But if you ask me which is better, I''ll pick the jack-of-all-trade route. You might waste a few hundred years getting stuck at the nascent soul stage and trying to acquire one more element Qi. But trust me, the investment will be worth the blood, tear, and sweat. Not only will you thrive as a top-tier alchemist, but as a cultivator, you will also be invincible!] [Also, legends said that an alchemist with all five elemental essences can turn simple grain pills into elixir. Even my mentor hasn''t achieved that state. You should strive for that. Set your goal high, and you will never be a failure even if you fail to achieve that goal.] Gao Yan was grateful for the notes. His motivation skyrocketed once more. "Alright. Time to cultivate and reinforce my wood Qi! I must condense my dantian and reach the foundation establishment stage within a year! Before I''m 25, I must reach the golden core stage!" He closed his book and put it back in his clothes. Then, he returned to his room and sat on his bed. Inside a water pot on a desk next to his bed was a de of immortal grasses, which Wu Buyi had brought from the outer disciple courtyard to Gao Yan''s room. Although there was only one de of immortal grass, it still filled the room with wood Qi. Gao Yan closed his eyes and meditated, deeply inhaling the warm vapor in the air. His body grew warmer as his blood reacted to the nutritious energy. . . Meanwhile, Leo was clueless about what essence or Qi could do to the pills. He stared at the system messages and rested his hands on his hips in frustration. ''Meh, what''s the point of overthinking something I don''t know. I''ll just YOLO this thing and see how it turns out. There is nothing to lose anyway.'' Leo shrugged and let the alchemy workshop do the work. He pressed the confirm button. DING The ck cauldron turned white, and a metallic lid appeared out of nowhere. It covered the pot, and a timer appeared. . [Eye of Fenrir] Extracted from an elder Fenrir. This is a universal catalyst for Wood, Metal, and Poison pills. It also contains thick poisonous miasma inside. Many demons love these as they usually imnt them as their third or fourth eye to see through poison miasma. Can be used in alchemy to create a prosthetic eye. [Alchemy Recipe a Prosthetic Eye of Fenrir] One Eye of Fenrir One Wood Element Catalyst One Metal Element Catalyst One Poison Element Catalyst 10 of Yin Fluid 10 of Fenrir Blood Poison, Metal, and Wood Element Essence . "Prosthetic Eye?" Leo was interested in this object. He double-checked the ingredient list in the recipe and made a checklist. "I have no problem with essence since it magicallyes out from my spit. The eye, checked. The yin fluid, obtainable, so checked. Fenrir Blood, checked. Poison catalyst? I can use the intestines for that, so checked. Metal catalyst, I can use the nuts. As for thest one... Wood element catalyst... eh." Leo pursed his lips and fell into deep thought. He remembered that he had it, but he couldn''t remember. Thus, he opened the encyclopedia menu of the workshop, searching if he had any item that could be used as a wood element catalyst. It didn''t take long for him to find one. There was one item that he had researched before. . [Root of Infant Demon Dryad] This root can be extracted from an infant demon dryad, a rare mythical specimen from a demonic realm. It can be used to substitute both wood and poison element catalysts due to its poisonous nature. [Traits] Increase any poison element pill sess rate by 25%. . It was the chomper''s roots. Leo simply needed to cut a piece of it to use in this recipe. Wasting no time, Leo climbed up his store and went after Cat. As Cat was photosynthesizing the sunlight, it was asleep. Its long chubby roots spread across the entire building. Leo didn''t need much. He gently snapped the tip of the smallest root. It was one inch long, and it should not affect Cat much. The chomper didn''t react when Leo cut the tip of its root, but it yawned and returned to change its sleeping posture. After getting the necessary wood catalyst ingredient, Leo gathered all items and put them next to the workshop. He set the ingredients and chose the pill recipe. Then, he confirmed the system. DING A timer appeared. However, the duration shocked Leo. 23 Hours, 59 Minutes, 55 Seconds... Leo facepalmed. It took too long to make this item. He felt like he wasted the opportunity to make more grain pills to make money.I think you should take a look at Dejected, Leo returned to his cabin to clear the room for new wolf meat. He spent the rest of the day cooking, doing chores, and cutting wolf meat into smaller pieces. . . The next day, at noon, Leo sat on a chair behind his store, staring at the cauldron. It slowly counted down while the progress bar gradually moved from left to right. DING "..." The finished products floated over the cauldron, glittering in green light. All of them moved around as if they were alive, looking at the forest, cabin, workshop, and Leo in curiosity. Leo was speechless. He had expected only one eye as he had only one wolf''s eye as the material. However, the workshop created 30! He reached out to pick one of them. It wiggled and bounced on his palm while it stared into Leo''s eyes. "Wut da hail are yu?" *BOUNCE* "..." . Inferior Prosthetic Eye of Fenrir This prosthetic eye is a manmade parasite. By imnting it on a person''s face or recing an eye, it will connect its nerves to the host''s brain, sharing its vision with the host. The eye has the following traits. - Enable Night Vision. - Increase the host''s resistance to poison, wood, and metal Qi deviation by 50%. - Enable the host to cultivate Wood Qi. - Increase visual range by 100 meters. . Lesser Prosthetic Eye of Fenrir This prosthetic eye is a manmade parasite. By imnting it on a person''s face or recing an eye, it will connect its nerves to the host''s brain and transmit the signal, sharing its vision with the host. The eye has the following traits. - Enable Night Vision. - Increase the host''s resistance to poison, wood, and metal Qi deviation by 60%. - Enable the host to cultivate Wood Qi and Metal Qi. - Increase visual range by 200 meters. . After Leo read through the description, he widened his eyes in astonishment. They were technically parasites! "Yikes. I guess I and Cat can''t eat you." *SHIVER* The bouncing eye on Leo''s palm and the floating ones heard his words and shivered in fear. The small balls were wet as if they were crying. Feeling bad for these creatures, Leo lightly stroked it, "Don''t worry. I won''t eat you or harm you. As a matter of fact, I have a good host for y''all. *BOUNCE* The 30 eyeballs danced and jumped around. Although they couldn''t make a noise, their innocent sparkling green pupils looked happy and excited. While Leo chatted with the eyeballs, thezy chomper crawled down from the cabin''s rooftop. It looked at what Leo had made. "Nom-Nom Meow?" Leo rolled his eyes, "This ain''t food or a treat." "Meow..." Cat was sad. It faced the floating eyeballs and salivated, scaring the small green eyes again. Leo said nothing. He lightly attached the eyeball on his palm above Cat''s thick lips, leaning toward the right. Coincidentally, the eye was the lesser-graded one. "Meow?" Cat was puzzled about what his master was doing to its face. "Stay still, kitty. You don''t have eyes, right? How about adding a pair?" "Meow??" Cat was confused. Still, it let Leo put the strange delicious-looking eyeball on its head. Leo adjusted its position. Then, he poked at Cat''s skin. *WIGGLE* Small tentacles came out from the back of the eyeball, prating into Cat''s face. A few secondster, it became one with the nt. "MEOW?!" The chomper panicked. It tried to unplug the eyeball. But as it had no hands, it couldn''t do anything about it. Several secondster, Cat''s skin generated an eyelid. It blinked for the first time and stopped moving. "Meow...?" It tilted its head and rotated its eye around. That was the first time that Cat got to see the world. Leo waved his hand in front of Cat''s eye. It blinked several times and gazed at Leo in curiosity. "Meow, meow?" "Yes. This is I, Florida Man!" Leo made a Jojo reference pose. "Meow! Meow-Meow, Meow!" "And yes, I gave you an eye so that you can see everything around you instead of randomly moving around with your sixth sense." "Meow? Meow-Meow?" "Oh, you can feel the parasite? Don''t worry about it. It just wants to live, but it needs some of your energy. In exchange, it will boost your physicality, okay?" "Nom-Nom Meow?" "No. You can''t eat the other parasites. As a matter of fact, I don''t think you have enough eyes for yourrge head. I''m nning to put another one on you. Get ready." "Meow <3" After getting confirmation from Cat, Leo carefully ced another lesser-graded eye on its face. When Leo was done, Cat''s two eyes widened as the parasites and the host''s vision became one. "Meow <3" Cat was in a good mood as it could see the world in color instead of using its sixth sense. It bobbed its head up and down like a vibing cockatoo bird. "You''re wee, kitty." As it was so grateful to Leo, Cat hugged him and licked his face, applying the odor of the mutated monster''s gaga and goo-goo to his skin. Moreover, the rotting poisonous saliva intensified the bad breath. Leo was expressionless when he got ambushed by the saliva and the foul odor. He inwardly cried. "I should have worn the hazmat mask around you." Chapter 23 Philanthropist "Mr. Florida Man" Donates Meth To Neighbor ?Chapter 23 C Phnthropist "Mr. Florida Man" Donates Meth to Neighbor After experimenting with the eyeballs, Leo collected the remaining eyes in ss jars and put them behind the disy windows. The eyes stared at the view in curiosity and hopped up and downs non-stop. They didn''t seem to get bored from looking at the same scenery for hours. After washing his face, Leo returned to the workshop as usual. Instead of continuing to make grain pills, Leo explored the pill recipes he had discovered so far, searching for other pills that he could make with his current ingredients. Some recipes required inessible materials, such as Holy Water, Unicorn''s Tear, and Virgin Sage''s Blood. Thus, Leo couldn''t touch them for the time being. However, he had enough ingredients to make a new thing. . [Alchemy Recipe C Werewolf Dantian Pill] One Fenrir Heart A liter of Fenrir Blood One Poison Element Catalyst Poison Essence . "Neat! I''m bored of grain pills. Let me see what you can do." Once again, Leo substituted the poison element catalyst with wolf intestines. Then, he added the blood and the heart. The poison essence was his spit, so there was no problem with that. DING "Yes, please." Once again, the timer showed how long the workshop needed toplete the pills. 23 Hours, 59 Minutes, 57 Seconds! Leo almost fell to his knees and screamed in agony. He hated waiting. "NOOOO!! Why are you taking so long to make some ancient METH?! Can''t you make it instantly like video games?!" The workshop gave Leo no response. He fell on the ground, making the "OTL" pose, saddened by the harsh reality. As Leo had nothing to do, he turned his attention to the non-alchemy materials, namely wolf meat. "That''s it. I''m gonna eat everything until I can''t eat anymore." . . It had been almost a week since Wu Buyist visited Leo. Wu Buyi had visited three cities during the past 4-5 days, and he bought a hundredrge baskets of fruits and vegetables for Leo. He also had a dozen sacks of seeds for his favorite senior to grow crops. Wu Buyi arrived at Leo''s cabin before sunset. As soon as he arrived, the first thing in his vision was therge head of the chomper nt. It now resided on top of Leo''s cabin, producing white mist and green gas around its body. In addition, it grew two eyes, which stared at him. "Meow <3" As usual, Cat opened its mouth, begging the visitor for food. Wu Buyi clicked his tongue in disgust for a moment. But when he noticed the Wood Qi and Poison Qi from the monster, he realized something. Cat had evolved! Its strength wasparable to a golden core cultivator! ''What did Daoist Florida Man do to that monster?! Howe it is so strong now?!'' Although unwilling, Wu Buyi showed respect to Leo by giving Cat some food. He ejected a dead monster''s carcass toward the chomper. Cat caught it and chewed the monster in glee. While eating, he bobbed his head up and down like a vibing cockatoo bird again. Wu Buyi ignored the monster and arranged his gifts in front of the store. He ejected all items from his spatial ring and put them on the ground. While Wu Buyi arranged his items there, his eyes noticed the movements inside the store. The lights were turned on, illuminating the items and the pills on the disy table. The eyeballs in ss jars also fixated on him, jumping up and down to get his attention. "Huh?" Wu Buyi narrowed his eyes as he recognized some of the pills. Theycked the luster of well-made medicines, but their feature and color couldn''t fool his eyes. They were elemental grain pills! As an alchemist, his heart ached. He would never make elemental grain pills as it was a waste of rare materials. If he had the same items, he would have made cultivation pills instead. Still, Wu Buyi was interested in the store. He put all his gifts down and entered the store, hoping to inspect the pills and the items inside. Upon getting inside, Wu Buyi found Leo, who was in the middle of eating cooked steaks behind a long counter. "Oh, hi. I haven''t seen you in days, mister," Leo waved his hand at the alchemist. Wu Buyi politely cupped his fist and bowed. "Daoist Florida Man, as promised, I''ve brought you more vegetables, fruits, and seeds for you to cultivate spirit herbs." "Ah, nice!" Leo stood up and looked outside the ss windows. When he saw a bunch of fruit and vegetable baskets, he widely smiled. "Thank you so much for your trouble. Here, want some steak I made? Have you eaten anything?" Wu Buyi nced at the steak. It was roughly cut, and it was slightly on the rare side. As he was trained not to eat any hard food, he chose to decline.I think you should take a look at "My stomach has gotten used to grain pills. I''m afraid it can''t handle solid food anymore." "Oh, shame," Leo shrugged, but he seemed happy with Wu Buyi''s answer. He shoved thest pieces of steak in his mouth and put on his rubber gloves. Wu Buyi had no idea why Leo had to wear gloves inside his store. He watched the store owner walking toward the pill bottles on the disy stand and pulling a red pill out. He brought it for Wu Buyi to see up close. "By the way, I just made this during my free time. Do you think it can be popr among your disciples? I''m selling them for three years of lifespan per pill, by the way." "Hmm? Three years per pill?" Wu Buyi raised his brow. His brain calcted at the same speed as a modernputer. ''Three years per inferior elemental pills are still very cheap. Some disciples might find them useful since not everyone can enter the mystic realm to cultivate, but they are useless to nascent soul stage cultivators and stronger. Is he trying to get rid of these useless pills?'' The alchemist came up with a solution. He informed Leo. "I''m sure everybody in Life Sword Sect will be eager to purchase these pills. I''ll spread the news about your new items." "Ah, thank you very much. Also, I see that you''ve brought a lot of fruits and veggies. How much are they?" Wu Buyiughed, "They are the tokens of gratitude from me. I hope that Life Sword Sect and Daoist Florida Man can be on good terms." "Aw. You''re a nice guy," Leo drylyughed and stroked his beard. His eyes shifted, looking at the fridges in his store. Then, he said something that Wu Buyi had never expected. "How about this? You have done a lot for me. I''ll give you any item I have in my store in exchange for your veggies." Wu Buyi was stunned. He didn''t expect Leo to be this kind. "C-Can I take anything?" Leo happily nodded, "Yup. But just one item, alright? Don''t be greedy and take multiple items, or I''ll be mad." "" Wu Buyi gulped. He looked around the shop and checked the things in the fridges. Then, he finally noticed the weird cabbages in the showcase refrigerators. ''Yin Cabbages?! This thing only exists in the demon realm! Even the sect master can''t go too deep in that ce. How did he get so many?!'' Wu Buyi brightly smiled and looked for other goodies. Then, he found countless stacks of fresh immortal grasses. "" The alchemist almost vomited blood. There were over 3,000 des of grass in the showcase. ''So many immortal grasses! Where did he get them?! Did he harvest them from the demon realm? That might be it! He must have a connection with the demon realm or he has gone deep into the realm! Wow.'' Wu Buyi smacked his chest, suppressing his desire and greed. He turned to the other refrigerators. Then, he discovered that there were items in the chest freezers. ''Ah, the Fenrir''s innards! But wait why are there so many?! How many Fenrirs did he kill?!'' Fenrir meat, blood, and bones attracted him the most, especially the liver. As Fenrir Liver was a universal ingredient of antidotes, its value surpassed other parts. Wu Buyi ignored the cabbages and immortal grass. He stared into the slide-door chest freezer, where Leo had stored the mutated liver. But when he was about to choose, the corner of his eyes noticed the movement on the disy stand behind the ss windows. The green eyes in the jars kept staring at him. "" These eyes were something that Wu Buyi had never seen before. He suppressed his greed and asked Leo. "Daoist Florida Man, what are these living eyeballs?" Leo followed Wu Buyi''s gaze and found the eyeballs. He snickered. "Oh, those eyeballs? They are the Prosthetic Eyes of Fenrir. It''s my first time making them, so the quality is a bit poor. If you attach it to your forehead, it will be your third eye. It gives a boost to your visual range also." Wu Buyi gulped. His interest was piqued, and he discarded the thought of picking Fenrir''s Liver. Prosthetic organs were more valuable than antidote ingredients. After all, many cultivators always risked their lives for cultivation resources, and the majority of experts didn''t haveplete 32 organs - Some lost their arms, legs, or eyes duringbat with wild monster beasts. They could be resold in an auction for a high price! Even an inferior-grade organ could be sold for a million spirit stones! "I''ll take the eyeball, please." "Cool!" Leo giggled and picked an eyeball for him. The eyeball jumped up and down on Leo''s glove in joy while it stared at the potential host. Leo looked at Wu Buyi''s bald head. He wondered if the third eye would fit him, "Want me to help you equip it?" Wu Buyi shook his head. He came up with an excuse, "I''m nning to give this to my disciple. I don''t need extra vision range, sir." "Ah, shame," Leo was disappointed. He was looking forward to experimenting on a human. Since Wu Buyi already picked an item, Leo closed the jars and tried to upsell the items. "Are you interested in other things? I can sell them to you. As usual, I only ept lifespan." Wu Buyi broke a sweat. He already spent 500 years, so he didn''t want to waste more. Thus, he excused himself. "That would be for another asion, sir. Oh, I have something else to do at my sect. Please excuse me." "Ah, okay. Take care of yourself." Wu Buyi let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to leave. But suddenly, he remembered something very important. The alchemist had another purpose here. Not only he came here to deliver fruits and vegetables, but he also ran an errand. He turned around to ask Leo. "Daoist Florida Man, would you like to join our Life Sword Sect as a guest elder? The next mystic realm expedition will begin in two weeks. We are hoping that you can join us on this trip." " Mystic realm expedition?" Chapter 24 Florida Man Scammer Starts New Franchise, Hires Scammed Victim ?Chapter 24 a Florida Man Scammer Starts New Franchise, Hires Scammed Victim "Mystic realm?" Leo''s expression wasplicated. He understood that Wu Buyi wanted him to join his sect, but he had a major issue that he couldn''t tell Wu Buyi - He needed to be in the shop domain. If he went outside, the auto-trantion feature would have been disabled, and he wouldn''t be able tomunicate with the others. ''How the duck will Imunicate with them if I go too far from my store? Learning Chinese? As if I can speak Chinese. What will I say when I''m in front of the crowd?'' Leo paused as his brain.exe malfunctioned and thought of a Chinese sentence. He didn''t care if the spirits of the Chinese government might deduce his social credits afterward. ''Zaoshang Hao Zhongguo, Xianzai Wo You Bingqilin! Wo Hen Xihuan Bingqilin! Yes, I''m Zhong Xina, and I love ice cream... God dammit, brain! WTF were you thinking?!'' Leo closed his eyes, crossed his arms behind his back, and deeply frowned, suppressing his silly brain from wandering off the topic. Seeing hisplex expression, Wu Buyi gulped, afraid that he might have jumped the gun and said something wrong. "A-Are you busy, Daoist Florida Man? You don''t have to join us if you don''t want to." Leo slowly opened his eyes and shook his head. No matter what, he couldn''t join other organizations if he would be forced to move out of his shop domain. "Sorry. I have no intention of joining any organization at the moment." Wu Buyi was slightly dejected that he failed to recruit Leo to Life Sword Sect. Still, he didn''t give up persuading him. After all, the mystic realms were the only way to acquire rare ingredients or capture rare monster beasts. Edible animals, rare vegetables, and exotic fruit trees were abundant in there as long as the cultivators were skillful enough to collect them. "What about the mystic realm, sir? Will you join us on this trip? We will reserve a seat for you. It''s better than entering the mystic realm alone as a rogue cultivator since you might have topete against the others for an avable quota." Leo felt like they were talking in a differentnguage. He wanted to know what the mystic realm was, but Wu Buyi insisted on inviting him. Still, for the sake of getting more customers to scam, Leo politely declined Wu Buyi. "I''m truly sorry. I have another n." "... I see." Wu Buyi deeply sighed. He seemed sad. Leo changed the topic to cut the silence, "By the way, could you exin what the mystic realms are? Exin to me like I''m six years old." "Huh?" Wu Buyi was surprised that Leo asked that question. He thought that Leo was already aware of the local culture and traditions. ''Does he not know about the mystic realm''s custom or the Jianghu Alliance''s rules? Oh, right. He must be testing me. Since he came from a higher realm, he might not know about our customs. That must be the reason!'' The alchemist coughed. He exined. "The mystic realms are worlds in another dimension, sir. The Jianghu Alliance is managing them, and the Life Sword Sect is in charge of a portal. Every three months, every portal to the other world automatically opens. However, the destinations are always random, so we don''t know any other detail about them until we get in there." Wu Buyi paused and brought out a bamboo scroll. He opened the scroll, revealing the rough drawing of a map. Leo examined the map and discovered that it depicted an ind. The alchemist continued, "This is the map our sect drew in thest expedition. Our sect''s portal connected to an ind in the middle of an ocean, and it was full of danger. We ran into an army of a hundred thousand 3rd grade monster beasts. Oh, they are as strong as foundation establishment cultivators by the way. We managed to kill a thousand and scavenged some herbs from the ind. Unfortunately, we only had seven days to finish our expedition, so we couldn''t fully explore the ce." Leo nodded. On the map, there were only fivendmarks. The rest of the map was nk. "The next expedition is expected to be a new ce. This time, we''re nning to send our strongest elders and the most talented disciples there to gain some realbat experience. Since you''ve helped a lot, I wish to give you a spot as a token of gratitude. I bet you will experience fortuitous encounters in there and find many treasures." Leo still couldn''t understand why Wu Buyi wanted him along. However, from the tone and the information, Leo roughly guessed that the alchemist wanted him to tag along with his disciples and protected them. "In short, you want me to babysit your disciples?" "No, no, no! Argh... Yes, you''re right." Wu Buyi sweated profusely. Leo hit the mark, and the former couldn''te up with an excuse. Although embarrassed, Wu Buyi confessed. "I''m ashamed. In the previous expedition, four of the ten disciples died because wecked life-saving treasures and healing medicines. I notice that you''re good in botany, so I thought that you could provide us with some healing medicines and herbs." Wu Buyi sighed andmented to himself. He turned around, giving up convincing Leo. On the other hand, Leo had his own thoughts. ''I don''t understand why they insist on going there and risk their lives. If I were them, I would have just sat back and scratched my belly button at home. What do theyck? Herbs? Pills? Oh, right. They''re cultivators, so theyck cultivation resources? If I can solve that by selling them cultivation pills, will that help? Is that a win-win for me and the sect?'' Leo suddenly had an inspiration. He grinned and coughed. "Ahem. So, youck cultivation resources, right?" Wu Buyi lowered his head, "Yes, sir." "What do you usually get from the mystic realms?" "Erm... rare mineral, ancient relics, treasures, elemental herbs, and corpses of ancient experts."I think you should take a look at "Anything else?" "If I have to name some, I have a few. You see, mystic realms are usually filled with elemental Qi that doesn''t exist in the maind, and our people need them to get stronger. Also, seniors like us usually collect some rare herbs and natural minerals since they can''t be found on the maind. For example, the immortal grass grew in some mystic realms..." Wu Buyi looked at the showcase refrigerators in the store and pointed at them, nning to give an example. However, he stopped mid-sentence when he noticed something unusual. Aside from the yin cabbages and immortal grass, the bananas in there didn''t look like a regr ones. Upon getting a closer look, he sensed an aura of Earth Element Qi from the bananas! They were all rare fruits that only grew in a desert mystic realm! "..." Wu Buyi was speechless. He looked at Leo, wanting an exnation of where he got those fruits from. Leo ignored Wu Buyi''s funny expression. He changed the subject by pointing at the eyeballs in the jars, "I get it. Say, mister. If you sell those, how much will you get in return?" "..." Wu Buyi gulped. There were 27 eyeballs in the jars, not including the one on his hand. Each could easily fetch a million spirit stones, which could be exchanged for rare treasures, artifacts, pills, and many more. Once again, Wu Buyi told Leo the truth. "If you sell one of these to an auction house, you might get about a million spirit stones." Leo heard something interesting. He probed for more information. "How much is a million spirit stones? What can they buy?" "Hahaha. Sir, you must be joking. A million spirit stones are a lot even for me. With one million spirit stones, you can buy a small flying ship or a top-graded flying sword. If a first-rank foundation establishment stage cultivator absorbs all Qi from the spirit stones, he is guaranteed to advance to the nascent stage! That''s two major stages, sir. This amount is life-changing." Leo stroked his beard and widely grinned. In secret, hepared the value in his mind. ''So, a small flying ship is like a small car, and a top-graded flying sword is an expensive bike. If Ipare it this way, it makes a lot of sense. Vehicles are always expensive since it saves time, and time is invaluable. Speaking of which, how much should I charge for the eyes...'' Leo nced at the baskets of vegetables and fruits. He remembered that he hadn''t started plowing farnd yet. Moreover, he needed more lifespan to upgrade his shops and tools. Then, he questioned himself if upgrading was necessary. ''To be honest, I can be self-sufficient and retire quietly without upgrading anything. I can slowly eat the mutated nts and veggies here. Then, I can live as long as I want to. But hey, what''s the point of living in poverty for a billion years when I can upgrade my life quality with someone else''s lifespan! I NEED TO FARM LIFESPAN AND SCAM MORE PEOPLE! CAPITALISM HO!'' Motivated, Leo proposed his idea to Wu Buyi. "Instead of letting me join your expedition whatsoever, how about you give me the list of what you found in the past expeditions?" Wu Buyi was confused about why Leo wanted the sensitive information. He was reluctant to disclose the intel as it affected their sect''s security. "Sir, could I ask why you need them for?" "For some calctions. Oh, if you aren''tfortable, it''s fine. You don''t have to be too detailed. I just need to know some general information that every people know." "..." Again, Wu Buyi didn''t want to expose the sect''s secrets. He decided to tell Leo what everybody in the other sects and countries knew. "We got some carcasses of monster beasts, elemental herbs, and some minerals to make weapons, sir." "Are the carcasses as good as these things in the freezer?" Leo tapped the freezer chests, wondering if they were better than mutated wolves. Wu Buyi shook his head, "No, sir. They''re much inferior to this..." "Okay. What about those veggies over there," Leo pointed at the bananas in the showcase fridges. Again, Wu Buyi bitterlyughed, "We... can''tpare ourselves to you, sir. Your precious herbs and materials are far superior to what we had." "Good!" Leo heard enough. He discovered an opportunity to do business. "Instead of me working for your sect, how about you work for me instead? I need a PR and a coordinator to handle some trivial tasks." "Huh?" Wu Buyi was stunned for several seconds. He doubted himself if he heard it right. Leo pushed on, "For example, I need someone to run errands and fetch me some regr vegetables and fruits from other cities once in a while. Also, I need someone to advertise my store that I''m willing to trade my rare materials that you can''t usually find in the mystic realms. Of course, I only ept lifespan." Leo widely grinned while Wu Buyi dropped his jaw. Chapter 25 Florida Man’s General Store Runs A Promotion – Price Increases By 500%! ?Chapter 25 a Florida Man''s General Store Runs a Promotion a Price Increases by 500%! Leo exined his business scheme to Wu Buyi. "You won''t be doing it for free. I''ll pay youmissions. For example, if an invited customer spends 100 years of lifespan in my store, I''ll give you an item worth 10 years of lifespan as amission reward! Easy, right?" Wu Buyi was bbergasted. He had never heard of this business scheme before. Even though he had traded with countless merchants and fellow cultivators, he never heard of the [Sale Commission] system. Excited, Wu Buyi recited what he learned out loud, "S-So, if I introduce you to a customer, and that person spends 500 years of lifespan here, I get 50 years of lifespan as points to exchange for the items in the store? Is that correct?!" "Of course!" "I''M IN! COUNT ME IN!" Wu Buyi readily epted. After all, there was nothing to lose. Moreover, he knew hundreds of alchemists and experts in the Jianghu Alliance, and Wu Buyi was confident that those undying old coots would spend most of their lifespan for Leo''s precious herbs and fruits. The alchemist salivated, imagining what he could obtain for free. However, he was sober enough to figure out a problem a There was no currency or medium to tally Wu Buyi''smission rewards. Having some doubts, Wu Buyi asked Leo, "But, fellow Daoist. How do we calcte my rewards? Do I have to im it right away? Can we do something like my sect''s contribution points so that I can trade my points with the reward materialter?" Leo had expected this. He checked the store system if he could bestow lifespan to others. The answer was no a He could not give away his lifespan to other people directly. However, there was a convenient way. As Leo examined the system menu, he noticed a locked feature. [Unlock Store Employee Feature] a 100 Years of Lifespan It cost 100 years to unlock, which Leo had no problem with that as he had eaten so many wolf steaks and grasses during the week. DING Leo unlocked it. Then, he tried to operate the system. He pressed on a new tab next to the store domain building menu. A new window appeared. A resume temte was shown on the screen. On the nk portrait, there was an [+] icon. Leo pressed on it. Then, the system asked. ''Oh?'' Leo immediately pressed the [+] icon. Then, a list of people in the domain appeared. As Wu Buyi was the only one here, there was only one name to choose. After adding Wu Buyi to the menu, his general information was shown. The interesting part was at the bottom of the screen. There were four options a Monthly wage, Annual Sry, Commission-Based, and Contract-Based. In addition, Leo could adjust the wage or themission rate. However, one thing made Leo smile. He could pay Wu Buyi with lifespan instead of gold coins or other native currency. He immediately set the payment method tomission-based and set the fee to 10%. DING Only Leo could see the message. Wu Buyi was still oblivious to the changes. After confirming the method, Leo confirmed their deal. "We''ll settle with a 10%mission. Also, you should know about the price of my items." As soon as Leo mentioned the price tag, Wu Buyi immediately offered his advice. "Sir, about the price of the items, can I offer my suggestion? You see, I believe you underprice them." "Hmm?" . . = At night = Wu Buyi returned to the sect with a nk expression. His mind still recalled the deal he made with Leo while he looked at the living eyeball in his hand. He couldn''t stop smiling. He could tell that it was a parasite, judging how it secretly eat dead skin on his palm for food. He also looked at a banana in his left hand, which he got from Leo as the advanced payment for the advertisement. "Instead of risking our lives in mystic realms, we can get cheap pills and alchemy ingredients from his store. This idea is... amazing and innovative!" Wu Buyi was hyped. He rushed to his house to get a container for the golden sand banana and the eyeball. Then, he flew to a friend''s abode - The pagoda of the grand elder Han Hao.I think you should take a look at As soon as he entered Han Hao''s room, he showed the grand elder the banana and the prosthetic eyeball. "Han Hao. You see this?" Wu Buyi pointed at the banana, "Guess where I got it from?" Han Hao slowly opened his eyes. He had been meditating and waiting for Wu Buyi''s report regarding Leo for days. But instead of reporting, Wu Buyi seemed strangely excited. "Is that an earth element fruit? Where did you get that from? The mystic realm hasn''t opened yet." Han Hao frowned and gazed at the jumping eyeball in a bottle. "From the usual ce, Daoist Florida Man''s store." "We asked you to investigate the person, not to shop! What the hell, Buyi?" When they chatted a few days ago, they agreed that Wu Buyi would visit the mysterious cultivator to investigate his motive. However, this guy flew around and visited so many cities during the days, which disappointed Han Hao. Wu Buyi looked smug. He giggled, "You know what? I''m going to work part-time for Daoist Florida Man''s store now. I''ll send all the avable alchemists to visit his store and buy his rare herbs. Tell the others for me that I won''t be going to the mystic realm this season." "WHAT?! BUT WHY?!" Han Hao was taken aback. "Can''t you tell what it is in the bottle, Han Hao?" "..." Han Hao deeply sighed and stared at the living eyeball. Although he wasn''t an alchemist, he could identify it. "Prosthetic organ. Yeah, this is a valuable treasure. If you sell this, you''ll be rich. So, why are you showing me this? I know you''re rich. What''s the point?" Wu Buyi paced around the room. He continued mumbling. At a nce, he seemed restless. In reality, he was drunk on dopamine and serotonin. "We have a new project, Han Hao. Daoist Florida Man is nning to supply us with rare elemental fruits and herbs. Actually, if we have enough supply, we might no longer need to rely on the mystic realms anymore!" "Hah?" Han Hao''s expression turned ugly, confused. As Wu Buyi was too excited, he didn''t properly exin what he saw or did. Wu Buyi also realized that he forgot to report everything in detail, he started by patting the bottle of eyeball. "Ahem! Sorry, I got too excited," Wu Buyi took several deep breaths. He continued, "What if I tell you that Daoist Florida Man has about 20 eyeballs like this." "W-WHAT?!" Han Hao counted his fingers. One of them was enough to fetch one million spirit stones. With 20, it could drive the Jianghu Alliance insane or even trigger a war! "That''s not all, friend," Wu Buyi continued, "In his store, I saw thousands of immortal grasses, hundreds of yin cabbages, and hundreds of desert bananas! This doesn''t include Fenrir''s heart, liver, blood, and bones! Hell, he has so many ingredients that he made inferior grain pills using elemental herbs! My heart still aches whenever I think about it. Buy hey, one of those pills is still very useful for the disciples, especially the ones that have already awakened their elemental Qi. They don''t need to risk their lives to cultivate elemental Qi in the mystic realms anymore. We can simply give the elemental pills to the promising disciples instead!" Wu Buyi talked so fast that he stuttered. Meanwhile, Han Hao managed to put the puzzle pieces together and understood the general idea. He instantly found the w of this scheme. "What if that person suddenly runs out of rare herbs? What about the investment and prices of those pills? No sane man will supply everything for free. So, Buyi, what''s the catch?" Wu Buyi puffed his chest and widely smirked. Heughed at Han Hao. "You fool. Daoist Florida Man is someone from a higher realm. I saw his spatial ring. It doesn''t look like something that we''re wearing. There must be some herbs or treasures that he hasn''t shown us yet. Also, he doesn''t need spirit stones or gold coins! He only needs our lifespan!" "Lifespan? Oh, right." Han Hao narrowed his eyes. He had heard of this from his son, Han Meng. At first, Han Hao believed that Han Meng was tricked. But after hearing Wu Buyi''s testimony, his interest was piqued. "How much does he need?" Wu Buyi walked toward a shelf and picked up a nk paper. He took a brush and started writing. . Immortal Grass a 50 Years per de Golden Sand Banana a 50 Years per Piece Yin Cabbage a 50 Years per Head Elemental Grain Pill a 10 Years per pill Prosthetic Eyeball of Fenrir a 500 Years per eye . Wu Buyi grinned. He came up with this price to make Leo''s store more profitable. Moreover, with these price tags, his ie would increase as well. Even though it would cost more to buy Leo''s stuff, the appropriate value would make the store more attractive to old experts. "How about it? Cheap, right?" "..." Chapter 26 Florida Mans Overpriced Rotten Tea Becomes Popular Among Elders ?Chapter 26 a Florida Man''s Overpriced Rotten Tea Bes Popr Among Elders After Wu Buyi had left, Leo took notes of the suggested price and startedbeling his items. He spent a few extra lifespans, purchasingbel stickers from the shop system. He also bought a box of ball pens for writing. When Leo finished writing the notes, he pondered. ''I doubt everybody can read modern numbers. It''s still up to me to trade the lifespan anyway. I wish I had a bot or A.I. employee to run the store.'' Leo shifted his attention to the hundred bamboo baskets outside the store. He widely smiled when he noticed the varieties of veggies and fruits. Aside from the old stuff, there were new goodies - Tomatoes, carrots, lettuces, onions, watermelons, oranges, and lychees. There was even a basket of tea leaves. In addition, the two sacks of seeds reminded Leo that he hadn''t cleared enoughnd to make a vegetable garden or farnd yet. Seeing so many fruits and veggies, Leo rubbed his hands. He was excited. ''New research materials! Also, I haven''t eaten those for ages! I need to try the regr ones before I start making the mutated ones.'' Leo put on his hazmat suit. Then, he transferred the baskets and sacks of seeds to the storage house, aka the alchemy workshop building. He spent the entire night researching new materials and eating the samples. ... DING DING . . BANG BANG At 5 AM, someone knocked on the front door. Leo jolted up from his bed. As he went to bed at 3 AM, he was in a bad mood. Being half-asleep and wearing only a t-shirt and short pants, Leo opened the door without looking at the visitor first. "Yeah, what!?" "MEOW!" In front of the cabin, Cat tried to squeeze in. However, its head was too big. "You... you''re a nt. You''re supposed to act like nts even if you''re carnivorous! Stop waking me up in the early morning!" "MEOW-MEOW!" "IT IS WEDNESDAY, MY DUDE!" "MEEEEEEOOOOOOW!!" Cat smacked the door frames, trying to get in no matter what. Leo frowned and rubbed his eyes. He gently pushed the giant chomper''s head out of the way and walked out of the store to see why Cat panicked. Behind Cat, Wu Buyi and a dozen middle-aged cultivators in the same uniform stood there, gazing at Cat in curiosity. Everybody but one man stood behind the alchemist. Han Hao, the grand elder, also tagged along with the team. He red at the monster nt and the shop owner, scanning their cultivation strength. Then, he noticed Leo''s strange aura. ''Oh? A soul formation rogue cultivator? So the rumor is true.'' Han Hao continued to observe Leo. Meanwhile, Leo swiped the corners of his eyes and wiped his dirty fingers with the hem of his t-shirt. Then, he faced the visitors and inwardlyined. ''I guess I haven''t set the opening hours yet. Oh, well. I haven''t visited a proper store for ages. I forgot about that. I''ll tell that guy to mind the time after this.'' As it would be rude and stupid to push the rare customers away, Leo put on a business smile and greeted everybody first. "Wee, dear guests. Are you here for a visit, or are you here to purchase my ware?" Wu Buyi brightly smiled and cupped his fist, "As promised, I''ve brought you some customers. Let me introduce them to you. The guy with a simr face as mine is Han... I mean, Daoist Bald Swordsman!" Han Hao''s Daoist title was Bald Swordsman. He got this title not because he was bald, but because he rarely carried a scabbard when he was young. Thus, his mentor gave him that title to remind him not to carry unsheathed swords everywhere. However, as Han Hao got older, he became bald. Afterward, the Daoist title became a curse to him. Secondly, the Daoist Title was simr to an alias or a business name that cultivators used to introduce themselves to strangers. Only elders could call their juniors or their friends by their real names. Meanwhile, Han Hao didn''t care about the title anymore. He took a deep breath and cupped his fist, showing Leo some respect and giving him face. "Junior Bald Swordsman greets Hermit Florida Man. I heard that you''re selling rare herbs for lifespan, so I wish to purchase some. As for the people behind me, they are deacons and elders of the Life Sword Sect. They also wish to see your goods." Nothing made Leo happier than good-mannered customers. He slowly dragged Cat aside and gestured for them to enter the store. "Very well. Pleasee in. Oh, don''t mind the mental nt. He''s harmless. Look at him. Whenever he sees strangers, he gets rowdy..." While Leo was speaking, Cat got angry because Leo forcefully pulled him away from the store entrance. It iled its branches and roots around. WHACK The long branches and roots hit the store''s exterior walls and rooftop. However, it didn''t budge. Instead, Cat cried in pain. It felt like it kicked an iron te. "MEOW!!" While in pain, Cat crawled to the roof and jumped off from the back, running toward the alchemy workshop and getting to another roof. The crowd watched how the monster nt nimbly moved to the back of the store. The elders and deacons behind Wu Buyi let out a long sigh of relief as they managed to avoid an unnecessary fight. They followed Leo into the store. Upon getting inside, they gawked at the showcase refrigerators.I think you should take a look at "Immortal grass!" "THOSE BANANAS!?" "Y-Yin cabbages?" While the deacons were amazed by the items, Han Hao was interested in the content in the freezer chests. He looked inside and found mutated wolf''s organs. Without hesitation, he asked Leo. "How much for all of these?" Leo looked at the chests and shook his head, "Those are not for sale." "Oh... a pity." Han Hao deeply sighed. He turned his attention to the other freezer chests. However, most of them only stored wolf organs and meat. But one of them had something else. In one of the chests, there were five clear ss bottles of silver liquid. Curious, Han Hao opened the chest and brought one chilling bottle out. Although the bottles were sealed, Han Hao instantly recognized the content due to the sparkling color and pieces of tea leaves inside. ''Rejuvenate Tea?!'' . . While Leo gazed at his customers, he inwardly grumbled, regretting that he didn''t have enough time to make more pills or potions to sell. In addition, he didn''t have enough refrigerators or showcases to disy the new mutated fruits and vegetables. Most of the newly mutated fruits and veggies were still in the alchemy workshop. Leo deeply sighed and looked at Han Hao, who was checking the new potions that Leo had madest night. . Alchemy Recipe a Rejuvenate Tea Three Invigorated Tea Leaves One Water Element Catalyst One Liter of Freshwater Water and Earth Essence . Inferior Rejuvenate Tea - Restore and repair bone marrow. - Decrease physical age by one year per liter. - Increase metabolism. a Very high chance to increase appetite. . This tea had no effect on cultivation. However, it served as a cosmetic for cultivators. Moreover, it was easy to make as the alchemy cauldron only required 10 minutes to make one liter of tea. However, Leo had an issue. He wasn''t confident that he was a good salesman. He looked at Wu Buyi, asking him to evaluate the price tag with his look. Wu Buyi noticed Leo''s gaze. He widely grinned and checked the freezer chest that Han Hao was gawking at. Then, he discovered the Rejuvenate Tea. "Oh, my. What do we have here?" Wu Buyi merrilyughed and nced at Leo. Thetter shifted his eyes, gesturing to Wu Buyi to pitch the sale. "Ahem!" Wu Buyi coughed and took the hint. He smiled at Han Hao while he intentionally described the perks of this tea. "Friend, do you know what the tea can do?" Han Hao clicked his tongue, annoyed by Wu Buyi''s smugness. Still, he yed along, wondering what the alchemist was up to. "What?" "This high-ssed tea is Rejuvenate Tea, made from the elusive invigorating tea leaves that can only be found in jungle-based mystic realms. Usually, 7th-grade tree monsters protect these tea nts and hide them behind their unique illusion arrays. If you eat the leaves raw, you will be energized for weeks. But if you turn them into tea, it can decrease your bone age!" Han Hao snorted as he was aware. On the other hand, the group of following deacons and elders were amazed. "R-Really?" "Decreasing our bone age?" Rushing to the freezer chest, the men gazed at the ss bottles in admiration. Then, they asked Leo, "H-How much are these, sir? We heard that you only ept lifespan. We wish to trade with you!" Leo stroked his beard, but he nced at Wu Buyi. Again, the salesman racked his brain and came up with a proper price on the spot. Wu Buyi coughed and pretended to be the know-it-all guy. "First off, we have to think about the average ie of cultivators. Every golden core cultivator in the maind usually works for a sect or an organization, and their annual ie is 1,000 spirit stones. If we use this as a standard, 1,000 spirit stones equate to one year of lifespan. Now, let''s look at the tea. As these tea leaves are difficult toe by and they taste like fine wine, they are naturally expensive. The Jianghu Alliance''s best tavern usually charges 5,000 spirit stones per small cup. But for this one, they came in a bigger bottle. So, from my calction, this bottle should be worth about 250,000 spirit stones at the minimum." Wu Buyi widely grinned. He looked at Leo, asking for confirmation. "My guess is 250 years of lifespan per bottle. Am I right?" Leo maintained his pokerface, but his internal expression turned dark. Heined in his mind. ''I imagined 50 years. Damn, it was too cheap again?!'' Leo looked at Han Hao and his followers. He shook his head. "I''m not that heartless. 200 years per bottle." Wu Buyi coughed twice, gesturing to Leo that it was underpriced. However, Leo shook his head again. "I have a dozen of these in the storeroom, and I''m selling them at a wholesale price so that you can go and resell them if you wish." "..." Wu Buyi widened his eyes for a moment as he found the idea amazing. He thought to himself. ''So, if Daoist Florida Man sells the items cheaper than the market price, he will naturally attract greedy merchants here to spend their spirit stones or lifespan for his goods. And when those merchants make a profit, they wille here again for more. This is ingenious!'' The alchemist inwardly gave Leo a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Leo had another idea. ''How much do you think the production cost is? Only one year of lifespan, you dum-dum! I only invested a year of my lifespan to get a luxurious-looking ss bottle, but the material cost and process costs are free! Why should I sell them at a market price? I have more margin, so I''m gonna cut the damn price to make my rivals out of business!'' Chapter 27 Local Martial Artists Mistake Florida Man As Alien Scientist ?Chapter 27 a Local Martial Artists Mistake Florida Man as Alien Scientist After dering the item price, Leo activated the store system, allowing the people here to see their remaining lifespan. Wu Buyi also got to see his remaining time once again. On the other hand, Han Hao was taken aback when he saw the timer. . Name: Han Hao Age: 107 Remaining Lifespan: 873 Years, 6 Months, 5 Days, 12 Hours, and 14 Minutes . Although Han Hao had a long life, he seemed unsatisfied. His physical appearance aged along with him, which made him worry about the future. Han Hao inwardly grumbled. ''When I''m 300, I might be a Jiangshi at this rate. I guess I need a lot of this tea. But man, they''re expensive. 200 years per bottle? How far can it really rejuvenate me?'' Living for a long time made Han Hao pessimistic. He doubted it was worth the investment. Instead of spending his limited currency, he turned his attention to other objects in the store. Then, Han Hao found the grain pills that Leo had made. Han Hao''s expression turned dark. He wondered if Leo was ignorant or possessed abundant resources to the point that he could waste precious herbs for something insignificant. Still, they offered mild elemental Qi, which could be useful for beginners or muscle-tempering stage disciples. He believed that they might be popr among the outer disciples. Curious about Leo''s background and skills, Han Hao asked, "Senior, sir. I have something to ask. Are you well-versed in alchemy?" Leo calmly stroked his beard, "I might not be an expert in the field, but you know, I''m somewhat of an alchemist myself." Wu Buyi giggled as it was impossible for rookie alchemists to make elemental pills even if they were inferior in quality. After all, they required the elemental essence of a specific type to make them. For example, a fire-element pill required fire essence and fire catalyst materials, which only alchemists with fire Qi could concoct. Meanwhile, the merchandise by the windows contained all five element pills, which showed how strong his foundation truly was. ''Only idiots will think that those inferior pills were made by rookies. If it were me, I would have only made fire and wood grain pills, but not all five elements. Those pills aren''t just for sale, you fool. It''s a warning message to you lots that you shouldn''t try anything stupid here. He can use all five elements, so hisbat prowess is naturally superior to you, who can only use one or two elements. Ha!'' While Wu Buyi inwardlyughed at Han Hao, the corner of his eyes noticed a white grain pill, which was behind the window curtains. He raised his eyebrows, surprised that he didn''t notice it during thest visit. ''Hmm? Isn''t that?!'' Upon realizing what they were, Wu Buyi widened his eyes. Rushing to the showcase table, he collected the two bottles with a dozen white pills. He put them on the counter next to the meat showcase fridge. Seeing how flustered Wu Buyi was, Han Han, Leo, and the dozen deacons looked at the former. They were curious why the alchemist put the bottles of white grain pills over there. Wu Buyi coughed. Then, he cupped his fist and bowed to Leo. "Daoist Florida Man, please forgive me for being rude. Please do not sell these items here." Leo and Han Hao were surprised once again. They wondered what this alchemist was scheming. As Wu Buyi seemed suspicious, Han Hao frowned at him. "Why? Are you nning to hoard those pills to yourself?" "NO! OF COURSE NOT! I-I just wish to ask Daoist Florida Man if I can study these treasures!" "Treasure?!" Seeing how flustered Wu Buyi was, Han Hao''s interest was piqued. He looked at the white grain pills for a moment and turned to Leo, who had been doing nothing but stroking his long white beard. "Senior, sir. What are these?" "Ah, that?" Leo remembered them as they always appeared together with poison grain pills. He deeply sighed, "Those are something I identally made. They''re elixir grain pills that contain only 10 years'' worth of five-element Qi. Well, since they''re called elixir, they also increase the consumer''s lifespan by 10 years. There''s a side effect though. Since it was made when I was making grain pills, it will stuff you for 10 days." "WHAT?!" Han Hao was shocked not because of its effects but the small detail. Five Elements Normally, cultivation pills only provided one type of element Qi to consumers. Even grand master alchemists from all alchemy-rted sects couldn''t add more than two or three types of element Qi into one pill. However, this one contained five elements, which defied all logic. Wu Buyi wryly smiled. He pped his forehead several times, regretting that he didn''t notice these pills earlier. Now, everybody knew about them, and he couldn''t monopolize the pills anymore. The alchemist sighed, "This is why I call it TREASURE! You see, Han Hao, no one can make any five-elemental pill, even those thousand-year-old trios!" "WHAT?!" Han Hao''s jaw dropped. He turned to Leo, wondering if he was a master alchemist. Leo coughed, "They''re still inferior quality, though. I still have a lot to learn." Wu Buyi repeatedly shook his head. He was convinced that Leo was a master alchemist. However, he was bad at pricing his products, "Don''t be humble, sir! These things belong in auction houses! We can''t sell them here for small profits! They''re even more valuable than those prosthetic eyeballs, sir!" ''Oh, really?'' Leo was internally amused.I think you should take a look at "To you, it might be nothing. But to us, they''re the proof of a breakthrough! We, alchemists of this lower world, can learn a lot from them!" "Ah, breakthrough. Technological breakthrough. So, cultivators of this world never had this before. That''s understandable," Leo muttered and nodded in agreement. Noticing Leo''s demeanor and words, the crowd murmured, convinced that he came from a higher dimension. Wu Buyi sweated profusely as he started to get nervous. He bowed 90 degrees, "Also, you must have invested so much time and resources just to make these. We can''t just dishonor you!" "..." Leo had the urge to tell Wu Buyi that he could make one of those pills every hour by using free iron pine nuts in the backyard. However, he couldn''t reveal his little secret. Still, learning that he could turn those nuts into money, Leo was ted. He also got inspired by the tips. Leo figured that he might need the local currency to trade in the future as he might need to purchase something in town. He couldn''t afford to rely on Wu Buyi to bring in vegetables, fruits, and seeds all the time. "Fine. You handle that. I also need some local pocket money. Themission fee is 10% as usual." Hearing that Leo gave him permission, Wu Buyi was overjoyed. Heughed and deeply bowed twice, "I''ll make sure that they will fetch the highest price, sir! Oh, please tell me if you are making more pills. I wish to observe and learn from you." Leo clicked his tongue, "No. I don''t like being observed." "Ah, what a shame." Wu Buyi was disappointed. Still, he was d that he got another good deal. Meanwhile, the deacons started choosing the items that wanted. 10 deacons took a de of immortal grass. One of the swordsman elders was half-blind, so he decided on the expensive eyeball. As for another elder, he took two bananas. After picking the items and informing Leo of what they had chosen to buy, Leo deduced their lifespan. He got 1,100 years of lifespan from this trade. However, Wu Buyi got a 10% cut, so Leo only received 990 years in total. Meanwhile, Wu Buyi noticed that his lifespan increased by 110 years. He widely grinned, believing that this job was worth the effort. Han Hao also discovered that Wu Buyi got the boon of this trade as he could see his friend''s status. "You sly bastard,"ined Han Hao. Wu Buyi snickered, "This is how you use your brain, brother." The elders and deacons looked at Wu Buyi in envy. They secretly nced at Leo, hoping that they could get the same treatment too. Han Hao also had a simr idea. As he was bolder and had a higher status than the people here, he daringly proposed, "Senior, sir. I heard that you''ve epted Wu Buyi as your servant. I wonder if we can help you, too." Leo widely grinned as he already had a n in his mind. Since Wu Buyi showed them the example of a modern customer reference program scheme, Leo offered them the same deal. "It''s just a small agreement. How about this? If you introduce customers to me like how he did, I''ll give you 10% of the sale as amission. Of course, you''ll receive the payment after the transaction in lifespan as currency." The customer reference program was one of the tricks that modernpanies loved as they seduced customers into bing their temporary salesmen. Some of the customers then turned into part-timers, reeling in their rtives and friends to purchase the goods from thepanies while many used them to get some discounts. Leo had no intention of allowing one person to monopolize the market. He wanted them topete so that he could get more customers. When Wu Buyi heard that Leo would give them the same treatment, he panicked. "S-Sir! I thought this deal is for me." Leo snorted, "I''m not nning to let someone monopolize the market. Mister, if you wish to seed, you mustpete with others in the same field and be the best. Trickeries and dishonesty are bad for business." Han Hao burst intoughter as he loved Leo''s attitude. On the other hand, Wu Buyi was dejected that he could no longer monopolize the perk. "There you have it, you sly fox! The senior sees through you!" Han Hao mocked his friend. Wu Buyi snorted. He bickered, "I doubt you know more top cultivators than I do! I''m going to the Jianghu Alliance now! Oh, Daoist Florida Man Sir, please excuse me. I''ll go bring you more customers, now!" Without waiting for Leo''s response, Wu Buyi rushed out of the store with the bottles of elixir pills in his arms. The crowd could only watch how the alchemist shamelessly brought the items out without paying. Leo deeply sighed. For the first time in this world, he experienced a semi-robbery case. Although he trusted that Wu Buyi would keep the promise, Leo still needed insurance. He turned to Han Hao. "You said you are his friend, right?" Han Hao nodded, "Yes. We are like sworn brothers." "Then, can you be the guarantor for that man? Just in case that idiot runs away with my elixirs." Han Hao drylyughed. He was embarrassed because of Wu Buyi''s shamelessness. Still, as an upright grand elder, Han Hao vouched for the alchemist. He pulled out a token from his pocket and gave it to Leo. "This is my personal token. If you show this to anybody in the Magpie City or the Life Sword Sect, they will do everything you tell them to, even if you ask them that you wish to participate in the mystic realm expedition." "Hoh?" "Also..." Han Hao''s expression changed. He never forgot his purpose here. "Senior Sir, I wish to ask you honestly. I heard that you are nning to supply our sect with elemental pills so that we won''t need to rely on the mystic realm expedition. Is that true?" Chapter 28 Florida Man Invests 1,000 Years In Simulation Game ?Chapter 28 a Florida Man Invests 1,000 Years in Simtion Game Leo widely grinned. He had no idea what Han Hao was talking about. ''What supply? What sect? I just want to sell my things and earn more lifespans. Did Wu Buyi spread a silly rumor?'' He had enough of the misunderstandings and mimunication, Leo directly asked Han Hao, "What supply?" "Oh?" Han Hao was surprised. He thought that Leo had a deal with Wu Buyi, "Didn''t you agree that you would supply us pills so that we wouldn''t have to rely on the mystic realms?" "Oh, that?" Leo remembered the deal. He stroked his smooth silky beard, "You mean, I will make more pills like the ones on that table, and you will send your disciples to purchase my pills, using their lifespan. Is that what you mean?" Han Hao raised his brow. Once again, Wu Buyi didn''t rify this agreement, so he didn''t know about the detail. It seemed that Wu Buyi only agreed that he would send his disciples here to buy rare pills from Leo. "Well, it''s the same. We hope that you will prioritize the Life Sword Sect''s disciples over other customers." Leo never hated customers. He readily epted, "No problem. I''ll save the pills for your disciples." "Thank you for your cooperation. Also, I will take this." Han Hao grabbed a bottle of rejuvenate tea. Leo quickly took 200 years of Han Hao''s lifespan right away. "One more thing," Han Hao coughed as he never forgot about his primary objective here. "Would you like to join us on this season''s mystic realm expedition?" Leo sighed and shook his head. He had his reason not to participate in the event, "I don''t know if I should go. I don''t think I have much to gain there." "Are you sure? Nobody has captured any mystic realm yet. Someone of your status should be able to do it. Legends said that the person who managed to dominate a mystic realm would be a mystic realm overlord, and he would monopolize all the herbs, treasures, and artifacts in there." Han Hao was not convinced that Leo was not interested. He baited the white-haired old man with glory and profits. However, he could not read Leo''s mind. Meanwhile, Leo inwardly grumbled. ''It''s not like I don''t want to go. I want to go out and y, too. I want to go on a field trip and socialize with REAL PEOPLE for once! But how am I going to enjoy a trip if I don''t understand a goddamn word thates out of your mouth, mister!? I don''t speak Chinese, dammit! If I go there, I''ll BINGQILIN all day, and my image will be ruined!'' Because of the dilemma, Leo insisted that he could not go. Otherwise, he would embarrass himself. "I''m sorry. I don''t think it''s a good idea to give someone else''s ticket to me. If someone works hard to earn his spot, you should give it to him, not an outsider." Han Hao and the deacons'' eyes glittered as they gazed at Leo in admiration. Everybody cupped their fists, "Such consideration and honor are rare these days. We''re ashamed that we''re blinded by greed. We shall give the seat to the disciple that earns it." Leo was secretly relieved. For now, he avoided a troublesome scenario. He felt like he was an introvert, whose brothers never stopped inviting him to a nightclub. Han Hao and others bid farewell. They left through the front door and flew back to their sect. After everybody was sent off, Leo returned to his store. He closed the door and locked it. "Finally, peace atst." Sometimes, Leo was confused about his true desire. Half of him yearned for civilization and people, but the other half sought solitude. He wondered why. Exhausted from the long night''s work and the meeting, Leo copsed on his bed and was fast asleep. . 1 PM, Leo woke up, refreshed. He sat up and yawned. Then, he walked outside the storeroom, which he had chosen as his temporary bedroom. Upon walking to the store, Leo flinched as the massive shadow blocked the sunlight from the front windows. In front of the showcase ss windows, Cat sat there, staring into the store with its new menacing eyes. It used its thorns to scratch the windows. "MEOW!" It was hungry. "I know, I know! I also need to take a dump. Just give me a second." "Meow <3" After grabbing a towel, Leo paused to think. He felt like their rtionship sounded weird. However, he shrugged and moved on to the outhouse, doing his business. After dropping some chemical bombs in the outhouse near the sword sage boulder, Cat happily scooped the waste in the septic tank to its mouth in glee. It also ate the yin cabbages that Leo had thrown out. Leo got used to Cat''s nasty appetite. He returned to the alchemy workshop and nced at the piles of lumbers nearby. "I should start working on these soon. But for now, IT''S UPGRADE TIME!" Leo opened his lifespan status to see how much he could spend. Because of the daily meat diet and the recent sales, Leo got a whooping two thousand years of lifespan to use. He snickered as he was proud of himself. "Time for your upgrade, you damn pot! I''m tired of making inferior pills. I want something better!'' Leo opened the workshop''s system menu. . Basic Alchemy Workshop Level 1 [Upgrade] a 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Research New Ingredient] [Pill Making] . Without hesitation, Leo pressed the upgrade button and paid 1,000 years of lifespan.I think you should take a look at DING "Huh?" Leo had expected that the workshop would be automatically upgraded. However, it prompted him with options. [Add New Cauldron] (1/5) [Add Automaton Alchemist] (0/5) [Upgrade Cauldrons - Improve Product''s Quality] (0/5) [Upgrade Fireces - Increase Product''s Quantity] (0/5) Seeing the choices, Leo''s expression turned ugly as he hated overlyplicated systems and games. The first thing that came to his mind was the min-max strategy spreadsheets of simtion games in the ancient past. ''So, there''s a total of 19 potential upgrades, but this won''t be that simple. Is there a level cap for the workshop? What if it''s capped at level 10 and I can only upgrade 9 more times? Will I have to choose 9 out of 19 upgrades? If I upgrade everything, will I ruin the potential of this system building? Then, can I build another workshop? What''s the highest quality that pills can have? Also, how much does the firece yield after the upgrade?'' Leo had a hundred questions, but the system remained silent. He could only learn by experimenting. ''To be honest, I want another cauldron to increase productivity, but my guts say that quality is king. I''ll pick the quality first and see how it goes.'' ying it safe, Leo picked the third option. Nothing could go wrong with a quality upgrade. DING RUMBLE The alchemy workshop''s building changed. The old rotten wood walls were reced with new nks, and the tiles on the ceiling gained red color. It didn''t look like an abandoned house anymore. The message didn''t end there. The system message gave him an important hint. ''Bingo!'' Leo clicked his tongue. His guess was on point, and he was d that he picked the quality choice first. With this information, he had an upgrade n in his mind. ''Max quality first. For efficiency build, I can put four extra points into quantity upgrade. But if I want to make it a factory for trivial pills, I can put one point to a new cauldron, two for automatons, and one for quantity. Then, I probably won''t have to watch over that thing 24/7. Yeah, I should aim for the "Factory Build". Oh, right. Can I build more workshops? If I can, I can be creative with this. For example, I have crap tons of materials for grain pills. I can just spam low-quality pills and sell them for dirt cheap, so the quantity build might somewhat synergize with the automatons and multiple pots. Oh, there''s the max efficient build for difficult pills, too. I can ignore everything else and put four extra points to quantity. For example...'' Before Leo realized it, he had fun strategizing for future upgrades. He fell into deep thought while he operated the shop domain system, wondering if he could purchase another workshop. DING The icon of the workshop was there. It was locked. However, there was a clue to the unlock condition. "..." At that moment, Leo realized - This might be a grind. As Leo had 1,000 years of lifespan in stock, he rechecked the upgrade option to see how much he needed for the next level. . Basic Alchemy Workshop Level 2 Production Quality Level - (1/5) [Upgrade] a 1,000 Years of Lifespan [Research New Ingredient] [Pill Making] . The price was still the same. Leo noticed a temte. He was overjoyed. ''1,000 per level? This will be easy!'' Leo smirked and pressed the upgrade button again. BZZ The system gave a weird buzz. Then, it gave him a piece of bad news. The refrigerator upgrades, the workshop upgrades, and the new workshop building all required store level 3. It started to get on Leo''s nerves. "Oh, god. It''s the freaking mobile simtion game system! Am I building a war town or something? Who the hell came up with those unrealistic games?" Leo facepalmed. It would take a long time before Leo could get his dreamt pill factory. Chapter 29 Florida Man Turns National Artifact Into Chair ?Chapter 29 a Florida Man Turns National Artifact into Chair DING Leo was depressed. Once again, he didn''t have enough lifespan to upgrade the store. Still, he had many ways to procure the currency. He looked at Cat, who was chilling on the roof as usual. So far, he had been feeding it yin cabbages and his dung. . Name: Cat Age: 0 Year Lifespan: 3,743 Years . This guy gained lifespan so fast. Sometimes, Leo wondered how it got so much lifespan even though he only fed it his poops and cabbages. "Cat,e here!" "Meow?" The chomper looked at Leo. Unfortunately, it looked away and closed its eyes, taking a day nap like real cats. "You... Hah." Being ignored, Leo gave up on Cat. Part of him was guilty that he was about to resort to thievery on his own pet. Since he had nothing else to do, he tried creating a new batch of pills, testing the newly upgraded cauldron. He put in ingredients to make a quick item a Rejuvenate Tea. . [Alchemy Recipe a Rejuvenate Tea] Three Invigorated Tea Leaves One Water Element Catalyst One Liter of Freshwater Water and Earth Essence . All previous batches came out as inferior quality. This time, Leo hoped that it could be better. DING <9 Minutes, 59 Seconds Remaining...> Leo pursed his lips. He was a bit disappointed that the refining time didn''t decrease after the upgrade. Killing his time, Leo entered the alchemy workshop building and picked up a glittering pill from a bowl, hidden behind the array of vegetable baskets. . [Inferior Fenrir Dantian Pill] Increase Poison Resistance Grant Anti-Biotic Effects Increase Poison and Metal Essence by 100 Years'' Worth of Cultivation Increase Lifespan by 100 Years. Consume More than One a Day Grants Laxative Effects . This batch of pills came out from the 24-Hour wolf dantian pill recipe. They were the proper cultivation pills that Wu Buyi and Han Hao had been searching for. However, as it offered 100 years of lifespan per pill and it tasted like sweet chocte, Leo chose not to sell them. Leo gazed at the bowl of ck chocte pills. He thought of Han Hao''s gang and wondered if he should sell them. ''This can probably fetch 500 years or so, but it''s antibiotic! I can just keep it here as household meds and snacks!'' After eating the pill and increasing his lifespan to 1,143, Leo tidied the workshop storeroom for 10 minutes. Then, he walked out to check the newly made tea. The liquid came out of the cauldron and floated over the cauldron, waiting for Leo to collect them. Spending one year of lifespan, Leo bought a 1-liter ss bottle. He pointed at the floating water mass, and the liquid automatically filled the container. DING . [Lesser Rejuvenate Tea] Restore and repair bone marrow. Decrease physical age by two years per liter. Increase metabolism. Very high chance to increase appetite. . Not much changed except the physical age reduction effect. Instead of one, it became two years. Leo shrugged and put in another batch of ingredients to make another set of tea. Then, he started chugging the tea. Although they were called "TEA", they tasted like cold root beer. "HAH! That hits the spot!" Leo burped. Drinking a cold beverage during the hot afternoon was the best. After getting a mouthful of delicious drinks, Leo got in the mood of working. He turned his attention to the pile of lumber, which he had ignored. ''I should turn these into something. Also, I need farnd. I need to cut trees... no, pull some trees!'' Leo grabbed a long lumber with his fingers and lifted it. His other hand also grabbed another one and brought them toward the front yard of the store. BOOM Leo put them down so that the visitors could see them. He wondered if anyone would buy them. As Leo couldn''t tell, he looked at the smallest lumber in the backyard and karate-chopped it on the top part, cutting a small portion of the steel-like lumber. Then, he brought it to the alchemy workshop and waited there until the next batch of tea was finished. DING The second batch of tea waspleted. Again, it came out as a lesser grade. Leo grinned and filled the bottle in his hands, which he had downed all the content earlier. The one-liter ss bottle was filled to the brim once more. "Infinite root beer of youth, HOH!" In a good mood, Leo dumped the chunk of lumber into the cauldron and pressed the [Research] button. .I think you should take a look at [Iron Pine Wood] This lumber is a precious ingredient for all artisans. It can be processed into fine furniture or refined into sacred wood. [Alchemy Recipe a Sacred Wood] One Iron Pine Lumber Wood and Metal Essence . "What''s sacred wood? Is that edible?" For the first time, Leo discovered a recipe that didn''t require any catalyst. Curious, he decided to chop more lumber with his bare hands. After turning white lumber into arm-sized blocks of wood, Leo threw one of them into the pot and pressed the refine button. As usual, his spit was the element essence. DING DING Leo gazed at the fisherman statue, who transformed into an elderly fisherman and vanished into the newly erected permanent portal to the previous mystic realm. He waved his hand to the elder. "I''ll call you back when I can find a better governor. Be patient Kitten." The fisherman statue bitterlyughed at his new nickname. He slightly bowed and vanished into the permanent portal. After the fisherman statue was gone, the three others returned to their previous position. They resumed their poses, pretending to be regr statues. Leo nced at the trio and deeply sighed. He had heard everything from them, and he got a better understanding of his system and the entity fate crystal. Still, as the entity fate crystal''s secret was too heavy, Leo still couldn''t calm down. He also couldn''t stop sighing. "What the hell have I gotten myself into?" As overthinking deteriorated his sanity, Leo threw everything he had learned earlier to the back of his head. He nced at the three statues. "Keep up the good work. I''ll summon you when I need your help in the future." The ck-winged angel, the catopus, and the wolf respectfully bowed. Their eyes dimmed as they went back to dormant mode. Leo turned around and jumped down from the tform. He still had a lot of things to do, such as building the Gunsmith Workshop, upgrading the general store, tidying the junkyard, sorting spatial rings, and overseeing the warehouses. Managing an entirepany alone was a tough job. The Florida Ceo would be busy for a long time. . . It had been two weeks since every mystic realm portal in the world was opened. The expedition teams from big sects and ns returned to deliver their results. The Tang n returned in full numbers as they never ventured far into the dangerous forests. They lingered around the pagoda town for a week before everybody returned. Tang Xuan and his young junior received a full boon of the mystic realm. Some of them awakened either wood or water element while a few youngsters managed to advance to the golden core stage by cultivating the elemental Qi. Yang Xiang and the first prince''s teams managed toe back to tell a tale as well. The former''s group returned early after they had discovered the sweet dream mushroom. As for the first prince''s group, they salvaged a strange metallic ship and brought it home. Unfortunately, the second prince and his men perished because of a certain someone. The imperial court was in the middle of investigating the incident. It wouldn''t be long before they would discover the culprit. As for the third prince and his imperial bodyguards, they missed out on this event because Yan Xiang had punished him for ruining Tang Xuan''s job when they visited Leo. Thus, he unknowingly saved his own hides for another day. Still, Yan Zhu couldn''t enjoy his luck because his secret military base, aka the Fatui Cult, was in terrible shape. When the cultist from the Frozen Fire City went to check on their underground city, they discovered that all resident there was either missing or dead. Furthermore, the chosen cultists that participated in this season''s mystic realm never returned. As a result, they lost 90% of their military strength. Situ n also got a disastrous casualty. Situ Nantian was critically injured while the rest of his followers perished in the mystic realm. The other elders also went missing as they became victims of the sweet dream mushrooms near the pyramid. The Ouyang n''s teams were the lucky dog among the prominent ns. They went to a different mystic realm, and they secured some treasures and rare herbs. A few nsmen managed to increase their strength to the next stage and gained a new elemental power. However, not all Ouyang n''s members were as fortunate. Some of their agents in the Death Sword Sect suddenly stopped contacting their n''s headquarters to report their findings. Among the agents, Hua Guanhai no longer informed the n about the Death Sword Sect''s movements. Nobody had realized yet that the Death Sword Sect brought in something from Leo''s mystic realm, which would bring the second cmity that once traumatized Hua Jiashan and Situ Nantian 500 years ago. disciples managed to return alive. Everybody but Hua Jiashan had . WHOOSH Hua Jiashan, Han Hao, Han Meng, Tiger Swordsman, and their disciples managed to return alive. Everybody but Hua Jiashan had been grinning from ear to ear as they were looking forward to the future merging. The sect master gazed at his people and bitterlyughed. He already epted his fate as a vessel of a new lord. He gazed at these people and instructed them onest time. "Make sure to tidy up your living quarters and every facility before you visit senior Florida Man. At least, return the favor of the sword saint by treasuring his old home." Hao Han and others came back to their senses. They faced Hua Jiashan and deeply bowed. "We will not forget our true home, sect master. Even though we will be working for Senior Florida Man soon, our hearts and our blood belong to the Life Sword Sect!" Han Hao pledged. Han Meng saluted, "We may have to serve a new lord, but we won''t forget our roots! We grew up from here, and this ce will always be our home! You are also like a father to us. Our bond will never be broken!" Tiger Swordsman drylyughed and chimed in, "It''s not like we will abandon the sect, Senior Hua. We can always return here to take care of the sect or help you teach young disciples. We just have another side job at Senior Florida Man''s ce!" Listening to his trusty people, Hua Jiashan was relieved. He waved his hand and allowed them to leave. "Alright. You''re dismissed. It will be lonely here, but you can alwayse back to visit me and tell me what it''s like working for Florida Man." "Yes, sir!" Everybody saluted Hua Jiashan. Then, they gradually spread the word to their colleagues that they would merge their sect with Florida Man''s domain as they would receive abundant cultivation resources from him. After everybody had left, Hua Jiashan silently returned to his courtyard. He stood in the middle of the field and brought out a long sword. Then, he repeated the signature move of his sect, performing a rite for his ancestors. Dancing with a sword for 10 minutes, Hua Jiashan''s metal and fire element Qi resonated with his sword. However, his mind was nk as his consciousness already traveled to another ce far away. While being absentminded, Hua Jiashan suddenly heard a stranger''s voice in his mind. ''You''re getting sloppy, disciple.'' Hua Jiashan stopped practicing. He widened his eyes in shock. "T-This voice Master!? Is that you?!" The voice belonged to the ancient sword saint, who had long ascended to the immortal realm. The sword saint was also Hua Jiashan''s secret mentor whom he had never told anybody about. ''I''ve been listening. I heard our sect is going to merge with somebody else''s domain? Is that true?'' "Y-Yes, master." ''Who is he? Is he an immortal or a fellow swordsman?'' Hua Jiashan lowered his head in shame. He confessed, "That person is a mysterious cultivator, master. I believe that he might be an immortal in disguise, and he''s a physique cultivator. He uses no sword or obvious martial arts, but his physical strength is definitely superior to everybody I''ve seen. His Qi is also unique." ''Tell me more.'' Hua Jiashan finally revealed a bright smile. He sat on the field alone and narrated how he encountered Leo in the mystic realm. Like a child telling his day at school to his parent, the sad look on his face vanished as if the merging no longer troubled his heart. . . Cultivators from various sects either celebrated their sessful expeditions or were saddened by their losses. The Amazonian Sanctuary was neither. Far north, beyond the Death Sword Sect''s headquarters, thousands of young maiden and female elders gathered at a forest city, weing their master''s return. Everybody cheered when Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, Yao Qiqi, and everybody returned without an injury at first. But then, Dongfang Mei returned and shocked her subordinates by announcing the new arrangement. "We have a piece of bad news for you,dies." Dongfang Mei took a deep breath before she announced the merge. "We shall relocate south and join a powerful immortal''s domain! We will abandon this city!" "WHAT?!" The women stopped celebrating and stared at their master in disbelief. The forest and the city were their only sanctuary as the cultivation world was unforgiving for female cultivators. Sexual harassment, human trafficking, and very weremon in this world, where male cultivators ignoredmon sense and moral ethics. They acted like caveman barbarians, treating weaker cultivators as animals. Thus, living in this world as a woman was a nightmare. Many women developed a trauma, which prevented them from interacting with men. Because of such oppression and treatment, the women banded together in this city to protect themselves. They even managed to gain respect from medium and small sects. However, Dongfang Mei, who had given them hope, suddenly dropped the bomb. Upon learning that they might have to leave this ce to live with other male cultivators, some of the women protested. "Why do we have to move?! We are safe here!" "Have you asked us if we want to move?!" "I''m not going anywhere! We built this city! We''re not serving some perverts!" "Senior Dongfang! Are you trying to sell us to some vile men?!" Noises got louder, and more women yelled at her. Dongfang Mei had expected this oue. She pped her hands and gave them a choice. "I see that most of you here favor staying. Then, I will give you a choice." "A choice?" Everybody stopped making noise. They listened to their leader. "First, I will step down as the caretaker of this sanctuary and allow you to select a new leader." "" The women nodded in acknowledgment as they needed someone to rece Dongfang Mei. Still, they hesitated as none of them was as strong as her. The second strongest female cultivator there was Xu Nuan, but she didn''t seem to be on their side. Aside from Xu Nuan, there were plenty of nascent soul cultivators. They looked at each other, unable to decide which one to be nominated. While everybody was lost in thought, Dongfang Mei continued her speech. "The new leader will inherit this city and the sanctuary, while I and Xu Nuan will migrate south. If anyone wishes to follow me, you are wee to do so. However, you must continue to follow my instructions and orders until the authority is handed over to the domain lord." Yao Qiqi next to Xu Nuan innocently vouched for Leo, "The domain lord is very kind and strong, sister! He healed me, and he can fly with a SWOOSH!" Xu Nuan and Dongfang Mei''s followers giggled at the girl. They patted her head. "How did he fly?" Yao Qiqi mimicked how Leo jumped. "He stomped the ground and SWOOSH!" Yao Qiqi started leap-frogging while extending her arms like Superman. "Hahahahaha!" Nothing healed a woman''s heart pain more than seeing their child innocently ying. Xu Nuan and Dongfang Mei regained their hope, hoping to convince their followers to join them. Xu Nuan stepped forward and told everybody the tale of Leo. She even included the incident when Leo rejected one of her disciples after thetter had attempted to seduce him. Among the listeners, Qi Niu, who was the person in question, red at Xu Nuan with red eyes. She bit her lower lip in embarrassment and shame. Thanks to her reaction, many disciples noticed her expressions and connected the dots. One of them even asked the girl. "Is that true, Qi Niu?" "" "Did you get turned down by an elder? Did you try to seduce him?" "" The two questions and Qi Niu''s silence were enough to convince many girls. Slowly and gradually, more women leaned toward joining the domain of a mysterious elder. Still, after the speech, not all of them were willing to follow Dongfang Mei. Only 100 women chose to join their migration. As for the rest, they refused to change their ways. The two groups silently parted ways. Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, Yao Qiqi, and 100 female disciples of the sanctuary boarded a small flying boat and flew south, heading to the Magpie City. Chapter 132 Florida Man Armed His Employees with Job Applications to Repel Potential Looters Chapter 132 Florida Man Armed His Employees with Job Applications to Repel Potential Looters Chapter 132 C Florida Man Armed His Employees with Job Applications to Repel Potential Looters "Isn''t this ce nice?" "Yup. Comfortable beds, great cultivation environment, and useful artifacts, I can''t ask for more." Han Hao and Han Meng shared the same room as they were father and son. Although the room was big enough for four people to live, nobody dared to share a room with them as an ex-grand elder and the head disciplinary elder''s statuses were still superior to others. In addition, Han Hao''s wife hadn''t learned about this ce yet. He still had to travel to his wife''s hometown and bring them here in the future. Both elders checked every nook and cranny of their new home as everything was so interesting, especially the electrical appliances. "Isn''t this something alchemists love?" Han Hao opened a modern refrigerator and inhaled cold air. Han Meng opened a curtain to see the view behind the apartment. Unfortunately, Leo didn''t build this apartment like a resort, Han Meng only saw the recycling center, a junkyard, and a lumber yard. Beyond the recycling center, Han Meng noticed long fences and arge barn. A few thunder unicorns gathered there as the barn was their new home. Looking at the group of 9th-stage monster beasts, Han Meng wryly smiled, "Nah, I''m not surprised anymore. We''re working for a big shot now. Father, I think we will advance to the quasi-immortal stage within 100 years if we keep working under Lord Florida Man. Look at those monster horses! They are obeying Lord Florida Mna''s orders!" Han Hao and Han Mengughed. They looked forward to working with Leo. For the day, they adjusted their conditions, cultivating whatever Qi they detected in the room. . Meanwhile, Tiger Swordsman and Hua Jiashan shared the same room. The former awkwardly knelt on his knees, looking at the sect master. "I-I thought you wouldn''t join us, sect master." Hua Jiashan stroked his beard. He widely grinned, "Who said I couldn''t change my mind?" "B-But I thought you treasured the sect. Who''s going to take care of the sect''s facilities?" Tiger Swordsman thought of the abandoned buildings of the Life Sword Sect. As everybody migrated to Leo''s domain, nobody would take care of it anymore. The local townsmen from Magpie City might also be in trouble as they could no longermission their disciples or elders to help them. Hua Jiashan saw through Tiger Swordsman''s thoughts. He snickered. "The sect is close-by. We can rotate our people or send some free disciples back there to clean our sect." "A-And what about our library and treasury?" "Who''s gonna steal that useless library with nothing butmon martial art techniques? Everything is in my head. If I want to, I can just write new manuals." "But the heritage of the sword saint" Hua Jiashan burst intoughter. He waved his hand. WHOOSH An energy sword manifested and hovered in front of Hua Jiashan. Moreover, it didn''t use the sect master''s Qi as its primary energy source. It was an electric energy sword, emitting yellow light. It also had the same aura as yellow tribtion lightning bolts. "T-This," Tiger Swordsman was astonished. "The sword saint contacted me a few days ago. He taught me a better version of our sword arts, and he allows me to work for another immortal for the time being. He told me that we could easily restore the Life Sword Sect after we got a lot stronger. For now, we can stop worrying about managing the sect so that we can focus solely on our training." Tiger Swordsman repeatedly nodded as he agreed. When he was still an elder of the Life Sword Sect, he spent 70% of his time teaching andpleting the sect''s missions. The rest of his free time was shared between recuperation time and training. This was the reason why his growth rate was slower than the others. "B-But, sect master, what about the work in this domain? Will Lord Florida Man allow us to train?" Hua Jiashanughed again, "Are you stupid? Did you listen to his exnation about the work rules?" "Erm, rules?" "We only need to work when the sun is up, and we can rest when the sun goes down. We work five days and get two days off every week. Compared to what I imposed on you lots, this work rule is very lenient andfortable!" "Wow." Tiger Swordsman finally remembered what Leo had told him when they were inside the pagoda town. He was excited that he luckily secured an easy job with high pay. At this rate, he would swim in essence stones and cultivation resources. "For now, let''s get used to the room''s natural pressure and the lightning Qi. Get on your bed and start adjusting your dantian and conditions." "Yes, sect master!" Hua Jiashan''s smile stiffened. Even though they submitted to Leo, Tiger Swordsman still called him sect master. As Hua Jiashan wished to avoidplications, he corrected Tiger Swordsman. "Just call me by my name. We''re no longer masters and subordinates. We''re colleagues now." "Ugh, yes, s-senior Hua." "Still be bit stiff, but, well, fine." It would take a while before Tiger Swordsman could rx around Hua Jiashan. . . The next day at 4 AM, the sanctuary girls, the sect''s disciples, and elders stopped cultivating and gathered in the field, east of the apartment. They waited for Leo toe out and give them instructions. Unfortunately, Leo did not follow the local''s traditions of not sleeping and eating. He still required 6-8 hours of sleep every day even though he could stay awake for months without sleeping if he wanted to. As a result, some young disciples got bored of waiting. As they had nothing to do, they roamed the farms and the domain''s territory, exploring the buildings. Many disciples gathered around Gao Yan, who was the only disciple that got to live in a small house, next to Wu Buyi''s home. They bombarded him with questions. "Gao Yan, what''s it like to work here? What do we have to do?" "Is Lord Florida Man kind? What did you get from him?" "Has Lord Florida Man taught you any techniques?" Gao Yan patiently answered them one at a time. He also nced at the group of girls, who secretly eavesdropped their conversations. "So far, the work here is quite simple. We only need to help Senior Florida Man with the farm work. You see the farms in front of the apartment? That''s where most of us will be working at." Gao Yan walked toward the chilies farm and brought out arge crate from his spatial ring. He then showed the people how to collect the crops. "For example, these chilies are Exploding Reaper Chilies. It''s a spice that can be used in alchemy, and it''s edible if you cultivate the fire element Qi. We collect the chilies like this" Each chili was one foot long and three inches thick. Each nt bore hundreds of red spices, which glowed in the dark. Gao Yan avoided touching the chilies directly. He cut the stalks with a knife and let therge chilies fall into the wooden crate. "One crate can store about 40-50 chilies at most, so I usually store about 30ish chilies. Well, you don''t have to count it. Just measure the size with your eyes and stop using the same crate when it''s half-full. Because we can''t touch it, we will y it safe and only store half." One of the girls got curious. She pushed through the crowd and asked Gao Yan. "What will happen if we touch the chilies?" Gao Yan wryly smiled. He showed them by picking one of the chilies with a tong and cing it on the ground, 10 meters away from the farm and the crowd. He turned around and warned them. "Don''t try this, ever." After giving them a warning, Gao Yan poked the chili with his fingertip. As soon as he touched it, he kicked the ground and leaped away. The chili instantly swelled. Then, as its name implied, it exploded. A small me bomb erupted, burning everything within 10 meters ck. Gao Yan licked the tip of his finger to heal the burn wound. Unfortunately, the spiciness of the chili hit his tongue, and the strong smell of wasabi hit his nose. He staggered backward two steps before he regained his bearings. Coming back to his senses, Gao Yan warned them again. "There you have it. The explosion is capable enough to kill any nascent soul cultivator, ording to Elder Wu''s estimation. Unless you have already mastered the fire element, you should avoid working at the chilies farm. I suggest you try the potato farm or the dragon fruit farm over there." Gao Yan pointed at the array of strange trees, south of the chilies farm. A hundred ck trees surrounded a tall white tree at the center. Under the trees, piles of ck fruits emanated thick fag of yin Qi. "W-What is that ce?" Asked the girl. "Dragon Fruit Farm. They''re the fruits that the thunder unicorns eat. Oh, Cat also loves that. If you work there, you will run into them a lot." "Cat? Thunder Unicorns?" Several disciples, elders, and deacons had already seen Cat and the unicorns, but many hadn''t noticed them yet. Those who knew brightly smiled while those who didn''t had a dark expression. Speaking of the devil, Cat heard the call and responded to Gao Yan. Despite being a massive chomper nt, she jumped by using her long roots. BOOM Catnded in the middle of the crowd. She grinned and greeted them. "Nom-Nom Meow?" This was her way of greeting and judging the neers. Any disrespectful cultivator would usually attack her and got themselves killed. As for those who knew, they simply needed to pay the "Nom-Nom Tax", and Cat would leave them alone. Xu Nuan, Han Hao, Han Meng, and many people from the Life Sword Sect were aware of this custom. They each ejected arge dead animal from their spatial rings and tossed them to Cat. The chomper bobbed her head up and down like a cheerful cockatoo, giving them approval. She swallowed the nom-nom taxes and leaped away. Again, the old customersughed and smiled while the neers looked at the parting monster in shock and fear. "W-What was that?!" "I-Isn''t that a 7th-stage monster nt?!" "Are they keeping a monster here?!" Gao Yan wryly smiled and pointed at the sky. Everybody looked up. Then, they found two thunder unicorns, walking in mid-air and patrolling the area. "Please get used to the guardians around here. Not only do we have Senior Florida Man''s pet, but we also have a hundred of his mounts 9th-stage monster beast mounts. We will be helping him feed these mounts and his pet every day from now on. This will be our primary job." "" While every youngster and neer was shocked, Xu Nuan couldn''t stop smiling. As taming was her forte, this ce was her paradise. Unable to stop her excitement, Xu Nuan asked Gao Yan. "Do you know if I can volunteer to be those beasts'' caretaker?" "Err, are you sure?" Gao Yan was surprised. "I''m confident in my abilities. Actually, if I work with those unicorns, everybody here won''t have to risk their lives interacting with those monsters. Let me take charge of this job!" Gao Yan and everybody from Life Sword Sect gazed at the elderlydy in awe and respect. As nobody disagreed, they selected Xu Nuan and her disciples to take care of the animals. . The talk continued for two hours as Gao Yan continued introducing every ce to the women and the new employees. At 8 AM, Leo finally woke up. He carried a dozen prototype matchlock rifles and came out of his store. He found therge crowd on the farms, harvesting and helping the farming mannequins. Impressed by their proactive and enthusiasm, Leo couldn''t help but smile. "Wow. They''re workaholics, I see." Leo thought of thezy youngsters in his home country. Weirdly, a job application was a bane of their existence to the point that it could be used in a certain exorcism. It was pointless to think about the modern era. Leo walked toward them and pped his hands. "Gather up! Let''s assign roles and tasks before you start messing around!" The new farmers stopped what they were doing and gathered in front of the general store. Disciples, who were loitering around the workshop area, ran to the front to join the gathering. Hua Jiashan, Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, Han Hao, Wu Buyi, Gao Yan, Yao Qiqi, and other elders were present. They were ready to learn about their new lifestyle. Within five minutes, all members were ounted for. Leo began interviewing them and assigning work. Chapter 134 Florida Man Purchases Luxurious Sports Cars To Decorate Parking Lot ? Chapter 134 C Florida Man Purchases Luxurious Sports Cars to Decorate His Parking Lot A week passed after the merge, Leo''s employees settled down to the new lifestyle. Off-shift employees all entered the "Ondo" to cultivate wood and water Qi. Even muscle-tempering realm disciples tried their luck in there. However, they had toe back to rest and recuperate as the overflowing elemental Qi in that world was too strong for their bodies to handle. Hua Jiashan and Dongfang Mei finally understood why Leo assigned them there. As the only seniors in the area, they healed and corrected the weak disciples'' Qi and dantians. After the recuperation, the disciples either advanced to the Qi condensation stage or improved their constitution. Former outer disciples of the Life Sword Sect and the Amazon Sanctuary quickly developed their physiques and inner Qi. After a week, 300 muscle-tempering stage youths became Qi condensation stage cultivators. The improvement of the teenagers made Hua Jiashan and Dongfang Mei proud even though they barely helped them. Because of the positive emotion, they had fun rescuing reckless youths and observing their growth. Aside from the daily routine, a new building was erected. East of the Recycling Center, Wu Buyi, Gao Yan, and their alchemy team built the first non-system alchemy workshop of their own. Using the materials from the junkyard, they made 50 alchemy cauldrons to practice making pills. That day, Wu Buyi and the alchemist team received a new assignment from Leo. . Leo stood in front of the newly built workshop. He opened the domain system map and noticed that it upied 100x100 grids. Moreover, the workshop was 10 meters tall, and it came with three floors C The basement, the first floor, and the second floor. The architecture and design were still rough as the roof was made from y tiles. Because of its amateurish workmanship, there might be leaks. These alchemists would surely get into trouble during the rainy season. Although he was impressed by their carpentry skills, Leo didn''t forget that it was not a system structure. Soon, it had to be deconstructed and reced with an upgradable system building. "I see that you finish making your workstation. Then, Wu Buyi, are you ready for a new task?" Wu Buyi, Gao Yan, Life Sword Sect''s alchemists, and aspiring alchemists gathered around Leo and saluted. "We''re ready, my lord!" "Good. Here is your first task. I want you to make grain pills ording to the recipe I give you. The ingredients are mostly stored in either the granary or the warehouse. Use them as you see fit." Wu Buyi received a modern A4 paper, which he had never seen before. He was impressed by the smooth surface and the sharp edge. "Erm, senior?" Gao Yan noticed that Wu Buyi was distracted. "Oh, ahem!" Wu Buyi stopped checking the paper and read the recipes. "The recipe is iron pine nut, one starch, one metal element catalyst, and fire element Qi. Huh?" Wu Buyi frowned as the recipe used too many top-grade materials. In addition, Leo wrote a paragraph underneath the recipe to teach them about his insight. The alchemist elder continued reading. "Umm, ording to the annotation, the grain pills will mutate ording to the additional elemental Qi we use. If we use essence instead of Qi, the pill quality will improve. For example, if we can use all five basic element essence, the grain pills wille out with all five elements." "Wow!" Gao Yan and the alchemists were astonished. Wu Buyi paused for a moment and sneaked a nce at Leo''s face. He then asked, "Umm, if it''s not too much, can we observe how you make these pills?" "Can''t y''all figure it by yourself? What are you? A donut?" Wu Buyi was embarrassed. As shameless as he was, Wu Buyi pressed on. "I''m so sorry, my lord. We need a reference of how you do it." Leo rolled his eyes as he didn''t want to waste his precious system workshop''s time on something cheap and outdated. Still, he entertained these alchemists nheless. Walking back to the workshops, the group followed Leo. Upon arrival, Leo noticed that the second workshop had just finished making another batch of yang me pills. Leo stopped the mannequin and inserted the ingredients for grain pills instead. After tossing iron pine leaves, a piece of potato, and a pine nut in there, Leo closed the lid and spat on the firece as usual. Then, he activated the system workshop in front of the crowd. DING The fire was automatically lit. The workshop mannequin also put his hands on the cauldron and adjusted the me bnce for Leo. Leo turned around to look at the crowd. "Done." "Eh?" Gao Yan and others were taken aback. They thought that Leo would teach them. "If you want to learn, watch the doll over here. He will show you how it''s done. Oh, also, you." Leo ordered the mannequin, "Keep making the grain pills and let them observe you, okay? Keep making until you''re out of materials." The mannequin nodded. He then focused on the cauldron. After entrusting his task to the mannequin, Leo left the alchemist group. He also gave Wu Buyi homework. "I hope to see you master this recipe. If you can''t make pinnacle-grade grain pills like that doll, I''ll confiscate the phone." "!!!" Wu Buyi''s face was ashen. As the phone had been fulfilling his dream and broadening his horizon, Wu Buyi couldn''t afford to lose it. Because of desperation, Wu Buyi''s concentration was heightened. He saluted Leo and turned around to observe the mannequin with burning eyes. Seeing that the trick worked, Leo pointed at Gao Yan, too. "You, too. If you can''t make a pinnacle-grade grain pill within this year, I''ll confiscate that lightsaber! You''re an alchemist, not a Jedi. Why the hell are you wielding that showy sword around?! Didn''t Thora tell you not to use it?!" "!!!" It was Gao Yan''s turn to be surprised. He closed his mouth and nced at his sentient dao spirit. Thora had been crossing her arms and pouting at Gao Yan. She also scolded him. ''He''s right. You shouldn''t use that sword or reveal its existence to others! Why did you keep using it in public? Do you want to tempt your friends to kill you in your sleep?'' Gao Yan sweated profusely, "B-But the lumber is too strong! Even Master Wu can''t cut it with his sword. Without the artifact, we can''t even build the workshop!" ''No excuses! This happened because you people are too weak! If you have time to build that useless thing, you should have trained some more!'' "" Gao Yan wanted to cry as building the workshop was Leo''s idea, yet he got scolded. Meanwhile, Leo secretly nced at Gao Yan and looked away, pretending that it was none of his business. He moved on to check the gunsmith in the general store. . CRACK CRACK On the second floor of Leo''s store, two automaton mannequins sat at their workbenches, working on their new rifle and ammunition. The gunsmith had robotic arms like the tailor of the clothing store. However, he didn''t need Leo''s skin to create gun parts as he got the materials from elsewhere. Lining inside other partitioned rooms were sacred wood blocks and arge chunk of gemstone, which Leo had extracted from the ground. . Superconductor Obsidian of Holy Lich This 10,000-year-old mineral is the crystallization of a dead Archlich''s dantian core. As the former master of this dantian crystal was as strong as a celestial king, this mineral inherited his physical strength. If it''s used to make weapons, it will surely be extremely durable. Cannot be used in alchemy. Can be used to make weapons or converted into metals . This superconductor mineral was the primary material for the gun barrels and other parts. The matchlock rifles that Leo had given to Han Hao and others were also made from this material. Unfortunately, the superconductor obsidian was not strong enough to withstand Leo''s Qi and his empowered essence stones. Leo still needed better material for his personal firearms. In addition, the gunsmith workshop was still low-level. The workshop mannequins couldn''t make a better version of rifles or guns yet. Leo visited the temporary storage rooms of the gunsmith and replenished the stock. Then, he went to check the other mannequin and his work. The second mannequin didn''t tinker or temper with the gun parts. Instead, he worked on the unique gunpowder of Leo''s store. Leo nced at the crates of exploding chilies. Looking at the out-of-ce ingredient, he wryly smiled. . Exploding Reaper Chilies Can be found in a temperate climate area or a mystic realm with the fire element Qi. These chilies can explode if they are directly touched by a cultivator. However, it won''t react if you touch it with non-organic objects. Not suitable for food or alchemy due to its chemical reactions. . A knife extended from the second mannequin''s arm as he brought a thick chili to the workshop table and sliced it in half. Upon cutting it open, white seeds of the chili came out. The mannequin didn''t stop there. He separated the seeds and put them in another container. After moving the seeds away, he began to chop the chili into smaller pieces. DOK-DOK-DOK As if someone was chopping a vegetable, the chopping sound echoed in the mall. However, in reality, the mannequin''s speed surpassed that of what a human''s eye could see. Within seconds, arge piece of chili turned into red powder. After getting the red powder, the mannequin poured them into arge mortar. He then reached out for adle and scooped rainbow water from a bucket in the gunsmith. Leo wryly smiled as he remembered the water. It was tap water from the general store, but it was mixed with his saliva. This contaminated water was one of the ingredients to make the gunpowder! After mixing the water into the chili powder, the mannequin started grinding them. The red pieces of chili slowly turned ck and hardened as they absorbed the mutated water. A few secondster, the chili powder turned into ck powder. . Reaper Gunpowder Made from Florida Man''s bodily fluid and Exploding Reaper Chili. A pinch of this gunpowder is as deadly as 100 grams of TNT. Keep it away from fire. . This was the source of Leo''s gunsmith''s gunpowder. As long as Leo kept growing chilies, he would have endless sources of gunpowder for his toys. For now, the bottleneck of gun production was the rifle''s crafting speed. The mannequin could only make five matchlock rifles per day, which was not enough to arm everybody in Leo''s domain. ''This will take ages to make a musketeer squadron.'' Leo sighed and brought empty buckets to a public bathroom. He refilled the water and spat into them. Then, he carried the buckets to the gunsmith for the mannequins to work with. After replenishing the water, Leo dumped a few more crates of chilies in the store room and left the workers alone. He walked down the stairs. Arriving on the first floor, Leo admired the new look of his general store. It looked like arge indoor wet market as showcase tables and a dozen door refrigerators were full of his merchandise. Vegetables, fruits, potatoes, pills, and mutated nts filled the first floor. Instead of storing them in the warehouses or granaries, Leo put them here so the store wouldn''t look too empty. The shopping mall was 20% ready for the grand opening. Leo just needed to fill the building with other minor shops and content on the second floor. Thinking of other merchandise, Leo turned his attention to the clothing store for a moment. He narrowed his eyes. ''Clothes are good, but cultivators are mostly men. They aren''t fond of fashion.'' Leo closed his eyes and tried to recall what men in the modern world bought whenever they had enough money. He thought of big toys, such as sports cars, yachts, and big bikes. shy vehicles came to Leo''s mind. He opened his eyes and gazed at his online store system. Hepared the prices of various modern vehicles. "They might be useless to others, but they are flex factors. Yeah, I should start with you." . Pagani HuayraC 1,400 years of lifespan McLaren Elva C 1,700 years of lifespan Bentley Bacr C 1,900 years of lifespan Aston Martin Vulcan C 2,300 years of lifespan Bugatti Mistral Roadster C 5,000 years of lifespan Mercedes-Maybach Exelero C 8,000 years of lifespan . When Leo was a human, these vehicles were out of his reach. But after the apocalypse, these toys were so insignificant that they were too cheap. Leo bitterlyughed. There was no road for these cars to run on, so they were useless to him. However, they could be used as decoration to attract entric customers. "Let''s park one or two on the second floor. There''s nothing to see here, so I might as well use it as a lounge area for the riches." Chapter 135 Florida Man Attempted Time Traveling, Crashed His Brand New Ferrari Roma Into Trees. ? Chapter 135 C Florida Man Attempted Time Traveling, Crashed His Brand New Ferrari Roma into Trees. DING DING DING Sometimes, a man should reward himself for his hard work. Leo also blessed himself with fancy sports cars even though he had no intention to drive them anywhere. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Pagani, Rolls-Royce, Porches, Mercedes, Leo purchased one each and parked them on the second floor. When they were lined up in a column, these colorful exotic cars strangely sparkled under the LED light. However, Leo wasn''t satisfied. As each car came out as a default setting, it required gasoline to function. Thus, Leo tampered with it by using the system to upgrade it. DING The cars averagely cost 2,000 years of lifespan, except the Rolls-Royce and Bugatti. The upgrade price was also the same. Thus, Leo only upgraded every car once. After spending 40,000 years of lifespan in these cars, the vehicles no longer needed batteries or gasoline. Instead, it required its driver to charge its fuel by filling the fuel tank with either spirit stones or essence stones. Their fuel tank was also changed. It could automatically crush and dispose of the stones through a new exhaust. Leo peeked under every car and admired the new exhausts. "It''s weird. So, if I drive it, it will crush my essence stones and pour out the dust through this exhaust? Why don''t you just use a Qi battery or something?" As the upgraded car looked interesting, Leo checked his current lifespan. He was rich! Leo puffed his chest as he thought of the talismans that he got from the Fatui Cult''s underground city. So far, he had already eaten all of them, including random pills from their spatial rings. Although those talisman papers caused him to defecate bricks every morning for a week, the result was worth the trouble. "Eh, how about upgrading one of the cars to level 9?" Curious about the system''s effects, Leo purchased another car. He picked the cheapest one from the sports car catalog, the Ferrari Roma, which only cost him 250 years of lifespan. For the sake of traditions, Leo picked the red one. Leo put his hand on it and upgraded the car 8 times, spending another 2,000 YOL. CLINK-CLINK As if the vehicle turned into Optimus Prime, it shapeshifted for a few minutes. When it stopped, it reverted to the default look. Leo opened the door and inspected the interior. Everything looked the same, except the gears and gearbox. "Where is the gear? Isn''t this supposed to be the dual-clutch transmission?" Instead of finding a gear handle or something simr, there was a ss pad with a handprint on it. Seeing the hand pad, Leo frowned. He couldn''t imagine driving this car while pressing his hand on the glowing pad as it would be ufortable. Still, for the sake of the experiment, he needed to try it. Leo stored the car in his spatial ring and brought it out in front of his store, where he had made a concrete road. After putting the vehicle on the road, Leo opened his store domain system and expanded the street. Concrete roadpletely cut across the entire domain from east to west. However, Leo wasn''t satisfied. He created another path to the north and south, forming a T intersection at the east border area. A road course wouldn''t bepleted without another parallel way. Leo added another road on the north edge, moving from the east to the west. Then, he dragged the road down to the south. Leo repeated the process and made the southwest road meet with the southeast. A temporary race track was created with the center road as a pitne. Leo widely grinned as he looked forward to testing his vehicle. "I hope no idiot crosses the road while I''m ying. Anyway, time to vroom-vroom!" Leo hopped into the cockpit and started the car. He revved the engine to hear the sweet sound. VRRRRRRR As Leo had hoped for, it was beautiful. However, by doing so, he caused amotion. Life Sword Sect''s disciples and elders who had been busy in the farms heard it and came to look. Even Gao Yan, Wu Buyi, and the alchemy team stopped working and came to see themotion. "What''s that?" "A carriage?" "No, it doesn''t look like a carriage. There are no horses." "Stupid. That might be a flying ship of Lord Florida Man. Who knows what kind of artifact he has." "Wrong. I have seen many warships from other sects. That is not a ship." "Then, what is that?" "I don''t know!" The onlookers spected and guessed what the red vehicle was. As they were afraid of offending Leo, they kept their distance and whispered among themselves. Fortunately, there was a shameless man among them. Wu Buyi was familiar with Leo the most, and he wasn''t afraid of his scolding. The alchemist walked to the side of the car and leaned over. He looked inside the car and tilted his head. "My lord. What are you doing in there? What is this?" Leo proudly smirked, "My ride." "Ride?" "Back off and watch." "???" "Tell the guys on the road to move too if they don''t want me to run them over." "" Wu Buyi still didn''t understand what this red metal thing with wheels could do. Still, he waved his hand and chased everybody in front of the Ferrari away. The crowd got out of the road as instructed, but they gathered behind the car. After the path was cleared, Leo was ready to test-drive this machine. As he had no clue how the car worked, he put his palm on the handprint console. DING "Oh?" A robotic female voice notified Leo of the car''s strange system. He was surprised, but he continued pressing his palm on the console. Leo paused for a moment. He almost said his true name, but he hated the idea. Thus, he discarded the American name and chose to use his alias as it sounded more pleasant. "Florida Man!" "Wow." Leo was impressed with the new security system. It sounded like it came from a sci-fi movie. "Cool!" Leoughed and put his hand on the wheel. He fiddled with the side sticks and checked the wheel''s features if digital gears existed. It wasn''t hard to locate the gear paddles behind the wheel. Seeing the paddles, Leo was relieved as they still looked simr to modern sports cars. Slowly, Leo tried to recall the old memory when he was still a human. He shifted to the first gear and lightly on the gas to get back his feeling. Unfortunately, Leo forgot that he had upgraded this vehicle to a monstrous artifact. VRRRRRRRR Leo''s back was pressed on his seat as the car suddenly elerated. The digital speedometer instantly jumped from 0 to 300mph! As Leo was caught off guard, he jetted forward and got off the road in seconds. "JESUS, TAKE THE WHEEL!" Leo screamed as he saw the approachingrge tree ahead. He identally pulled the wheel toward him. It moved like amercial ne''s wheel. BOOM! The vehicle crashed the tree head-on. However, the iron pine tree shattered in half upon impact! BOOM! BOOM! However, the impact didn''t stop the momentum of the car. It kept on going even though its four wheels were off the ground for a second. Leo frowned as he expected the airbag toe out, but nothing happened. Moreover, he saw a faintyer of barrier around the car as it sted through the obstacles. After hitting the seventh tree, the car ceased moving. It parked in the middle of the rocky terrain while a tree trunk supported the chassis from underneath. The prestige Ferrari car became a see-saw. Leo opened the door and came out of the vehicle to see the mess he made. Strangely, the front hood was unharmed and unscratched. The headlights still looked as new, and the bumper was intact. He looked at the chassis next as he was worried that the wheels and the tires might be misaligned. Fortunately, nothing was dented or damaged. Surprisingly, the trunk that supported the car''s bottom chassis didn''t even touch anything. The entire car floated on top of the trunk by an inch. "Dafuq?" Leo scratched his head and looked at the system item in astonishment. He had no idea what the system did to the normal-looking sports car. As Leo couldn''t drive the car at this stage, he stored the vehicle in his spatial ring. Then, he leaped back to the general store. Upon arrival, Han Hao, Han Meng, Wu Buyi, and Xu Nuan surrounded him. "Sir, what happened?! Are we under attack?" Leo scratched his head and pursed his lips. He was too embarrassed to confess that he crashed his car. "Nothing happened. I just tested my stupid artifact." "Artifact? That red thing, sir?" Han Hao gazed at the carnage at the edge of the store domain. Seven iron pine trees on the path fell, leaving a trail of dust behind. Leo coughed, "It''s in the experiment stage, so I need a lot of practice. Anyway, nothing to see here. Disperse! Disperse!" "" The elder group looked skeptical as the vehicle just now emitted a strong aura of a quasi-immortal. Still, as it was Leo''s toy, they chose not to question him. After the crowd went back to their posts, Leo switched his location. He leaped to the west road, where nobody wandered around. Leo gently put the sports car back on the road and tried again. This time, he didn''t step on the gas pedal and let the car move by its default gear. VRRRRR Even though Leo didn''t step on the gas, the car sped up and stabilized at 100mph. He stepped on the brake several times to decelerate. However, it went back to the same speed again. Confused, Leo put his palm on the console and asked the car. "Alexa! Siri! Google! Whatever your name is, how do I decrease the default speed?!" DING "That''s it?" For some reason, Leo''s kidneys were hurt. He also had the urge to smack his forehead for the stupid resolution. Following the suggestion, Leo minimized his Qi usage and injected his Qi into the console. DING A new system window appeared in front of the wheel. Unlike Leo''s system, it was a screen, projected by the vehicle. [Transmission Settings] "" Leo bitterly smiled. The more he saw the changes, the more he realized that the system was weird. . . Although Leo might not be an engineer, he read a lot when he was on Earth during his free time. He also used to temper with cars during the post-apocalypse era as nobody was there to help him. Gearbox tuning was one of Leo''s hobbies back then before all metal and spare parts in the world rotted in rust. The car system made the tuning easier. With the graphs and detailed statistics, Leo decreased the eleration spike by 90%, allowing the car to run at an Earthling speed. Still, several features of the settings made Leough. [Flight Settings] [Autopilot Settings] [Shield and Safety Settings] With just these options, Leo found himself a new hobby that he could enjoy other than building his shopping mall empire. "Oh, boy. This is going to be fun!" . . While Leo had fun with his new toy, a cultivator had been floating over the Magpie City. Tang Xuan gazed at the Life Sword Sect, which seemed deste. He couldn''t see any deacon or disciple around. Instead, he found several homelessmoners and beggars taking shelter in an outer disciple''s barrack. "What happened to Hua Jiashan? Where is he?" Tang Xuan gazed at the east, where Leo''s general store was. He narrowed his eyes as he noticed a lot of changes in the area. As he thought of Leo, he recalled the recent mysterious incidents. ''Someone killed the second prince. Situ Nantian mysteriously retreated and went into seclusion after the expedition. The third prince made a fuss in the court and used Yan Luo that he raided the Fatui Cult. So many things are happening at the same time.'' Tang Xuan narrowed his eyes as the face of an entric old man appeared in his mind. He still remembered Leo''s face vividly. ''That man appeared, and everything went to hell. But if Florida Man was behind Situ Nantian''s seclusion and the death of the second prince, Yan Xiang would never reconcile with him anymore. Actually, my guts are telling me that Florida Man did it, including the destruction of the Fatui Cult. If that''s the case, I have to pick sides. I can''t be neutral in this mess or Yan Xiang will rope me in as usual.'' Tang Xuan calcted the pros and cons for an hour. He deeply inhaled and made up his mind. Then, he contacted his son and his nsmen, using his voice transmission. "Tian''er, are you there?" Tang Tian, who was on the other side of the continent, heard his father''s voice. He replied with his thoughts, but Tang Xuan could hear him clearly. ''What''s wrong, father?'' "We will resign from the imperial court." ''What?! But why?! We and Yan Xiang have been allies for centuries!'' "Not anymore. Something has to change." ''What happened, father?! Is there something urgent?'' "There is" Tang Xuan thought of Leo. He still remembered the strange aura and his unique charisma. Although his loyalty had been to the Yan Empire for countless years, Tang Xuan''s instinct was never wrong. When he heard that Leo killed the second prince, he was sure that a major war between quasi-immortals would break out soon, and the loser''s side would be erased from history. And that loser would be Yan Xiang and his men, the Situ n and Ouyang n included! There was no point staying on a sinking ship, Tang Xuan made up his mind to ally himself with Leo. After all, he might be the key to improving his n''s status. Tang Xuan deeply inhaled and strengthened his focus. He answered Tang Tian. "A major war will break out soon, and Yan Xiang will definitely lose. We have to switch sides before that happens! I want you to migrate everybody out of the manor and bring them to Magpie City, RIGHT NOW!" ''EH?! NOW?! B-But father, aren''t you jumping to conclusions too early? There''s no sign of war!'' "It will happen. Did you know that someone killed the second prince and destroyed the Fatui Cult?" ''WHAT?!'' "Someone is targeting the Yan Empire, and a new quasi-immortal suddenly shows up on ournd. Don''t you think it''s strange?" '''' "I don''t care what you think, but I trust my guts. We need to move before the others. In the uing gathering, we will take sides with the new force!" Tang Xuan and Tang Tian spent hours chatting. When it was dark, Tang Xuan flew toward Leo''s general store to deliver an invitation to the imperial court''s gathering. Chapter 138 Middle-Aged Florida Men Identified as Teenagers Participate in School Sports Tournament

Chapter 138 Middle-Aged Florida Men Identified as Teenagers Participate in School Sports Tournament

Chapter 138 C Middle-Aged Florida Men Identified as Teenagers Participate in School Sports Tournament Leo snapped his fingers, and the cloth shop''s mannequin came out carrying a hundred suits, shirts, pants, belts, leather shoes, socks, and neckties. The tailor automaton had been working on this project for the past week. After receiving Leo''s samples, she made these clothes a priority. She also made them in different sizes so that people of all physiques could enjoy wearing these precious treasures, which were made from Leo''s dead cancer cells and elemental essence. Leo exined. "These clothes will not be just a staple uniform of our domain, but they will serve as your armor! They are made from my goddamn blood and skin, so no trashy young masters or princes of some ns can possibly harm you if you wear these!" "!!!" Gao Yan and the male disciples dropped their jaws while the clothing store girls were ted. Although the girls couldn''t contribute to the tailoring process, they were proud to be on the tailor''s team. Although the clothes provided absolute protection against physical attacks, they were omnipotent. Leo brought out his trusty paper fan and lightly tapped Gao Yan''s head to warn everybody. "Well, all participants will be wearing these clothes, so it''s impossible for them to get injured. But that doesn''t mean you will be invincible. If you''re stupid enough and get hit in the head, you can still kick the bucket!" "" Gao Yan gazed at Leo and repeatedly nodded. The others also came back to their senses and imagined how they could kill someone with a simr cloth armor. Imagination often brought fear and anxiety. Gao Yan broke a sweat and rubbed his face with his hand, wondering how he would protect his head in a fight. Still, Gao Yan protested. He still had an imposter syndrome. "S-Senior Florida Man. I-I''m an alchemist. I haven''t been training inbattely. I-I think joining the tournament with my current foundation and strength is a bit-" PA! Leo smacked Gao Yan''s head with his paper fan. Thetter''s face was mmed to the ground. "You''re on the list, silly brat! Do you think teenage nascent soul cultivators are cabbages?! You just have to show yourself in public, and your opponents will either forfeit or crap their pants! Be confident!" "" Wu Buyi giggled as he felt the same way. The other golden core elders and deacons also nodded in agreement. Everybody had been thinking of Gao Yan as a hidden genius of the Life Sword Sect. Even Hua Jiashan was proud that Gao Yan reached this far. Leo proceeded with the roster of the participants. "Next up, Yao Qiqi!" "EH!?" Xu Nuan was stunned as they never expected Yao Qiqi to be on the list as she was too young. Moreover, she hadn''t been trained in martial arts. "Sir!" Xu Nuan protested, "I think it''s too much. I know that Yao Qiqi is one of the few geniuses in our domain, but she isn''t cut for seriouspetition andbat tournaments! Please reconsider!" Looking at Xu Nuan''s expression, Leo chuckled. He nced at the dao avatar behind Yao Qiqi, whose eyes met with his. Thetter slightly nodded, affirming that she and Yao Qiqi had no issues. "Xu Nuan. Can tamers use their beasts or monsters in the past tournaments?" Xu Nuan flinched. She bit her lower lips and nodded, "Yes, sir. We can, but each tamer can only use one monster beast ording to the rules." "There you have it," Leo burst intoughter. Then, he shouted. "CAT! GET OVER HERE!" As soon as Leo''s voice echoed, Cat leaped out of her granary home andnded on top of his head. She quickly climbed down and kissed him by swallowing half of his body into her mouth. "Nom-Nom Meow?" "" Leo stood still as he didn''t expect the obnoxious chomper to kiss him again. He could feel her tongue licking his face, neck, and nape, eating his dead skin and sweat. Quietly and calmly, Leo pushed Cat''s mouth off his head. As usual, Cat''s bad breath got stuck on his hair and his skin. Her slimy saliva dripped all over his face and body. "Hmm?" When Leo managed to get out of Cat''s mouth, he deeply frowned. In front of him, everybody''s shoulders trembled while they sucked their libs into their mouths, holding back theirughter. Their reaction reminded Leo of a scene in a drama series. While having a solemn expression, Leo uttered. "Everyone, do you know a lollipop?" "W-What''s that, sir?" Xu Nuan tried her best not tough, but she averted her eyes when she noticed that Cat''s saliva still dripped on Leo''s head. "It''s a candy for kids. In my world, every kid loved lollipops." "" "Lollipops came with a stick and a round candy on top. Kids always sucked them and lick them." "Pfft." "I wonder, Xu Nuan. Should I change my Daoist name from Florida Man to Lollipop Man? This stupid nt is treating me like a candy." "PUHAHAHAHAHA!!" Xu Nuan broke her stoic demeanor first and broke intoughter. As soon as one startedughing, the others stopped holding back. Only Leo remained expressionless. Calmly and coldly, Leo turned around and pried Cat''s mouth open. Then, he tossed Xu Nuan into Cat''s mouth and ordered the nt. "Don''t eat her. Just lick her like you licked me!" "No Nom-Nom Meow?" "No Nom-Nom! I''ll give you another nom-nom meowter, okay?" "Meow <3" Catplied. She produced a pond of saliva in her mouth and licked the olddy for a whole minute. Then, she spat her out. Xu Nuan came out drenched in transparent slimy juices. Her face was green, and her smiling face disappeared. Dongfang Mei and the girls stoppedughing and rushed to see their elder''s condition. But before they reached her, Xu Nuan vomited. She wasn''t injured. However, Cat''s stinky saliva got into her mouth, and she couldn''t take it. Leo turned his attention to the crowd. He groaned, "Anybody finds this funny?" Hua Jiashan and the men shook their heads. They didn''t want to be eaten to get into a simr situation as they had seen enough. Because the crowd was intimidated, Leo walked closer to Wu Buyi and the swordsmen. He let them inhale the stinky slimy saliva up close. As Leo had expected, their faces turned green as well. They held their breaths and pinched their noses in disgust. "You still think this is funny?" "N-No, Lord Florida Man. Never!" Han Hao repeatedly shook his head. "Good." Leo turned around and raised his arm. Then, he pointed his palm toward his head. ZAAA By using water Qi, Leo created a stream of water to wash away Cat''s saliva. After cleaning himself, Leo continued his announcement. He looked at Yao Qiqi, who covered her mouth and tried not tough. "Yao Qiqi will participate in the tournament as a tamer. Cat will serve Yao Qiqi as her temporary pet to fight!" Yao Qiqi widely smiled and looked at Cat. Thetter also widely grinned as she expected a lot of food as a reward. With two members on the roster, Leo continued picking other members. But instead of choosing a disciple of the Life Sword Sect or the sanctuary, Leo called someone else over. "P.Hub! R.34! Come here!" Leo called the unicorn elder and a converted unicorn, aka Esen''s nightmare. A tall white unicorn and a ck horse leaped from the barn to the front of the store. They stood side by side. Looking at these 9th-stage monsters, everybody closed their mouths as they respected these guardian beasts. They were d that all beasts here were their allies. The nightmare silently stared at Leo with dull eyes, waiting for instruction. On the other hand, P.Hub tilted his head in confusion. Leo consulted with them as they were the leader of their team. He could have called Taxi, but that guy was too immature. "Is there anyone among you that can transform or disguise as a human? Preferably someone under 18 years old." R.34 snorted and turned around. A few secondster, another ck unicorn came over. However, it was half as big as their leader. "Oh, you. Isn''t you Ricardo?" The small nightmare had a nametag ne on it. Leo named him "Ricardo" after a famous meme, but he forgot about it. Jordi nodded and gazed at Leo. He nced at R.34 and talked to each other via telepathy. A few secondster, Ricardo nodded. He closed his eyes for a moment. CRACK Ricardo''s bones and flesh deformed and changed. His size shrank, transforming into a human. A minuteter, he finished morphing and became a thin boy. Because of his thin lips, brown skin, and his unique facial shape, he looked like a brown Brazilian. Although he was short, his muscle was so refined that he looked like a young bodybuilder. Although the transformation waspleted, Ricardocked something important. Leo and everybody looked down by reflex. The girls squealed while the men''s expression turned dark, envious of his absolute unit of a horse. "Put on the clothes, Ricardo. Also, shrink that thing. It''s going to distract the girls." "" Because of Ricardo''s physique, he was sent to the clothing store to let the automaton make custom clothes for him. As Ricardo managed to disguise as a teenage cultivator, he was fit to be the third member of the roster. However, his cultivation base was an issue. He had the strength of a 7th-stage monster, aka a soul transformation cultivator. It was too high-profile. Hua Jiashan and others were certain that many people might find him suspicious. Still, Leo ignored all logic and went through with it anyway since he had no intention of letting Yan Xiang kill his people during thepetition. "Next, P.Hub, where is your guy?" P.Hub nodded and turned around. As soon as everybody followed the horse''s gaze, they found Taxi. "Smash?" The perverted unicorn grinned. A few secondster, he polymorphed into a bald European white guy with a muscr physique. However, he looked a lot older than Ricardo. He looked like Johnny Sinn instead. "DAMN!" Leo snickered and shook his head. He waved his hand and chased Taxi away. "Thanks for the effort, but no. You''re too old for this crap. P.Hub, choose someone else." Taxi pouted, but he didn''t give up. He nced at Gao Yan for a moment and smirked. The next moment, he shapeshifted again. This time, he copied Gao Yan''s look and physique, except for his unit. "KYAAAA!!" Because of the simr physique and faces, the girls squealed harder while they covered their eyes. However, they peeked through their eyes to check on the horse part. Gao Yan''s eyes were teary. He also stared at the THING in envy. "Ugh." Leo facepalmed. He deeply sighed. "Okay, you pass. You''re the fourth!" Dongfang Mei and the elders nkly stared at Leo for his tant cheating. They prayed for the youngsters that they wouldn''t fight these two monsters. However, Leo wasn''t finished. He called another thump card. "Esen! Where are you?! Come here for a second!" "" Hua Jiashan and others gave up. Their dull eyes and their faint smiles became lifeless as they epted everything. Leo downright nned to cheat the event. . . In the end, Dongfang Mei and Hua Jiashan convinced Leo to change his mind. They ended up selecting two female disciples from the sanctuary to act as tamers and picked Taxi and Ricardo as their tamed beasts. As for Esen, she remained as the fifth member. Afterpleting the roster, Leo moved on to the next topic. He brought out four lightsaber hilts from his spatial ring. While holding three of them in his left hand, his right hand flipped on the switch and showed them the beauty of a sci-fi weapon. A screeching sound of the lightsaber itched everybody''s teeth. But when it radiated a bright greenser stick from the handle, the crowd widened their eyes in astonishment. "S-Sword Qi?!" A disciple gulped. "No. That''s not a sword Qi!" Tiger Swordsman''s mouth was parch as he got excited, "That''s something else! The sword is brimmed with elemental energy! Isn''t that the average amount of a quasi-immortal''s internal Qi?!" Hua Jiashan was in awe. He stroked his chin and nodded, "It''s an artifact that produces pseudo-sword Qi of a quasi-immortal cultivator. From the looks of it, it doesn''t consume the user''s Qi at all! Lord Florida Man, did you make that?" Leo snorted, "Like hell I could. I got these from the mystic realm. Also, as you know, that brat Gao Yan also has one, but it''s inferior to mine." Gao Yan blushed and lowered his head while everybody stared at the former. Because Gao Yan used his lightsaber too often, everyone was aware that he got his hands on an amazing artifact. The only reason that no one made a fuss was because of Gao Yan''s current cultivation base, which was the same as the elders. Before anybody questioned Gao Yan or Leo, thetter turned off the lightsaber and tossed one to Hua Jiashan. The other three went to Han Hao, Han Meng, and Tiger Swordsman ordingly. "Those swords will be the signature of our swordsmen. Because it''s too strong to be entrusted to youngsters, only you four can have them." The other golden core elders and deacons looked at the four in envy. Even Xu Nuan and Dongfang Mei were jealous of them. But Leo dropped a bomb, which made the four swordsmen anxious. "I gave you the swords so that you can protect everybody here when I''m away. Oh, don''t forget the guns that I made you practice using them. They wille in handy!"

Chapter 139 C Florida Man Fingers Elementary School Girl in Public to Heal Her Eyes Tang Xuan mentioned that the event would take ce at Cauliflower City in 2 weeks. Leo and his domain''s representatives should be there one or two days before the date. The meeting ended. The Life Sword Sect''s elders got their new toys to y with while the chosen disciples had time to prepare for the uing tournament. Leo dispersed everyone. Gao Yan and others returned to their job, and their daily life resumed as normal. However, Leo''s job was far from over. He leaped to the flying tform. The mystic realm''s main portal was already closed as Leo had returned from the quest. The previously blue portal disappeared, leaving only three metal gold rings at the center. As it was on cooldown, the rings stopped moving as if they were turned off. The ring frames were the stabilizers of the portal while the tform under it served as the engine. It would take three months for them to be active again. Fortunately, the new permanent portal to Ondo was already active, and every employee could always visit that ce. Visiting Ondo was not Leo''s intention. Uponnding, Leo nced at his three statue minions for a moment. He then touched the ring frames at the center. DING A new system window appeared, showing the mystic realm tform''s status. . Mystic Realm Portal C Level 9 Entry Limit (Person) C (4/10) Portal Cooldown Reduction C (0/5) Portal Duration C (5/5) Next Destination: Unknown Low-Mid ne [Upgrade] C 10,000 Years of Lifespan Status: On Cooldown Number of Linked(s): 1 . Ondo Governor Name: Kitten Governor''s Domain Abilities: Improve the fertility rate of all freshwater creatures and sea creatures by 200%. Increase newborn water-based creature''s rank by two. Increase the density of water element essences by 100%. Elements: Water, Lightning, Wind, Wood, and Earth Production: Horned Caimans, Earth Cockatrices, Mangrove Spiders, Spear Hos, Rock Palm Trees, and Rock Mangrove Trees. Life Force Ie: 80,000 Years / Month . Aside from the usual status menu, there was an additional window, informing Leo of Ondo''s perks. After conquering a, Leo could assign one of his "immortal" subordinates to be a governor. Then, the new governor''s dao would provide various effects on the. In this case, the fisherman guardian statue "Kitten" was Leo''s shadow, created by the system. He inherited some of Leo''s power, and he was a lot stronger than everybody in this world. As his dao was rted to water, sea, and sea creatures, Leo appointed him to be the governor of Ondo. The result was satisfactory. The got several buffs, which improved the life quality of the local monster beasts. That was not all, the governor could freely life force from the local monster beasts and transfer it to Leo directly, giving Leo a passive ie. Moreover, the governor could mine natural resources and transfer them to this world. So far, Kitten hadn''t paid him the lifespan tax yet. However, he could see a pile of pine trees and mangrove trees in front of the permanent portal nearby. DING While Leo gazed at the logs, five recycling center workers and a warehouse mannequin rode the elevator and arrived at the tform. They ignored Leo and walked toward the pile of logs. Each mannequin lifted two logs each. Then, they jumped down from the tform. "" Leo followed the mannequins and looked down from the tform, observing his automatons. Then, he saw how his people worked. The warehouse mannequin and others safelynded even though their knee joints trembled. After adjusting their knees and legs, they carried the logs to the junkyard and put them together with the iron pine tree logs. Seeing how these automatons work, Leo was happy. Still, he hadn''t researched the new mutated resources from the Ondo yet. Although Leo was tempted to bring those resources to the alchemy workshops, he postponed the idea as the workshops were always crowded. He needed to new alchemy workshop or a simr facility that could be dedicated to the research. "Haiya. I guess I have to allocate specialized buildings to myself. I can''t let the bots and my workers hog them all." Leo opened the shop domain system to see the new building list. As he had upgraded the general store to level 9 recently, there were new structures that he could build. . Barrack Requirement C Humble General Store Level 9 Price C 1,000 Years of Lifespan Expansion Range C 10 x 10 . Warehouse (3) Requirement C Humble General Store Level 9 Price C 500 Years of Lifespan Space C 5 x 5 . Granary (3) Requirement C Humble General Store Level 8 Price C 500 Years of Lifespan Space C 5 x 5 . Unfortunately, Leo couldn''t build another alchemy workshop. Aside from the second employee apartment that Leo had built for the Life Sword Sect''s people, he hadn''t built the level 9 structures. Still, Leo stared at the new facility, aka the barrack. He had a bad premonition about it as it reminded him of many ancient city-building games in the past. ''Whenever a city-building game features a barrack, there will bebat or war. I don''t like this.'' Leo shook his head in a bad mood. Even though he disliked the new building, he opened the domain map and purchased the building anyway. After all, he needed another ce for his employees to live. RUMBLE A small building appeared behind the men''s apartment. It was a square structure with two stories high. Leo jumped down from the portal tform to check the new building. Hended 10 meters away from the barrack. Then, he turned around to touch the barrack. Because it came out as a level-1 structure, its walls and roofs were made from thin rusty roofing sheets. The entrance featured no door, and the windows were all broken. Leo didn''t bother checking the interior of the building. He inspected the building''s status menu to see which parts he could upgrade. . Barrack Level 1 Barrack Size C (1/5) Barrack Quality C (0/10) Training Speed C (0/5) [Upgrade] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan . Leo leaned backward for a moment as he found the new structure different from a regr resident building, such as the employee apartments or the small houses. It featured something else. Curious, Leo pressed on the "Training Speed"bel to see its exnation. DING Leo raised his eyebrows. Although this was not what he needed the most, it might be useful for Hua Jiashan, Gao Yan, and other battle freaks. DING Spending 8,000 years of lifespan, Leo upgraded it to level 9 and assigned some points. . Barrack Level 9 Barrack Size C (2/5) Barrack Quality C (3/10) Training Speed C (5/5) [Upgrade] C 1,000 Years of Lifespan . RUMBLE The building transformed into a square wooden cabin. The roof and the entire structure were made of wood while the windows and doors were repaired. Leo entered the building and found arge area inside. Measuring the interior with his eyes, Leo estimated that it was around 150 to 200 square meters, which wasrger than its initial size. Moreover, it featured two floors. In addition, 30 wooden bunk beds lined up nicely in three rows. Each bed came with a metal locker. The furniture took a lot of room at a nce, but there were spacious enough for residents to walk around. Unfortunately, the facility offered no bathroom. The future residents here might have to use the general store''s bathrooms for their daily necessities. Leo shrugged and left the building. When he walked out of the barrack, a hundred people already surrounded the ce to see themotion. Among them, thezy bum Wu Buyi was there. "Ah, my lord! What did you build this time?" Leo sighed and waved his hand, calling Wu Buyi over. "This ce is a barrack for aspiring trainees. Call the homeless youngsters over. Allocate 120 of them to stay in here. Oh, FYI, everybody that lives there can master their martial arts or techniques faster. You can try if you want to." "Hmm?" Wu Buyi heard something interesting. However, as he found the small housefortable, he declined the opportunity. On the other hand, many disciples from the sanctuary and the Life Sword Sect overheard the conversation. They were eager to try. "Sir! Can we move in there?" One of the girls shouted from the crowd. Another male teenager raised his hand, "Can we live in there, too?" "But senior, can we live together with the boys? Isn''t it too dangerous for the girls?" Everybody murmured as many sanctuary girls and sword disciples were interested in the new facility. Because of the current segregation and their custom, living together under the same roof might ensue someplications. Leo also found this situationplicated. Even in the military, they didn''t let men and women stay in the same barracks for this reason. For the sake of fairness, Leo made a new rule. "There are two floors in this building. Women can live on the second floor. As for men, you stick to the first floor. If I find any man going up to the second floor for no reason, I''ll cut off your sausage and make you a woman as you wish!" "" The boys covered their crotch in fear while the girls were delighted. Still, for the sake of security and protection, Leo needed a couple guards to watch these youngsters. He visited Esen, who had been lurking in her house. Leo knocked on the door several times. A few minutester, Esen mmed open the door in a bad mood. "What do you want?!" "What were you doing?" Leo frowned. "I was taking a nap! I hate sunlight!" "You? Sleep?" Leo found Esen amusing. "A lich can sleep?" "Shut it, you! Just say it. What do you want?!" Leo sighed and told Esen about the new facility and its perks. At first, Esen yawned and scratched her eye sockets in boredom. But when Leo mentioned that the barrack''s residents could learn or train faster, Esen was interested. She stared at him with nk eye sockets. "Hey, geezer. Can I stay in that building?" "What about this house? Are you moving out?" "Hell no! It''s empty, so it''s mine! I''ll be staying in that barrack, too!" "You''re a greedy brat. Has anybody told you that?" "Pfft. This empress already has everything! I''m a magmatic and virtuous lich! I don''t greed for someone else''s property!" "" Leo wanted to retort that she stole one of his facilities, aka the third small house. Still, he chose to keep quiet as he respected this little undead loli. As Esen always frightened others with her nk eye sockets, Leo remembered something. He rushed to his general store and picked up two eyeball parasites from a ss container. He then brought them back and shoved the eyes into the confused loli. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Esen panicked when Leo suddenly shoved his fingers into her eyes. "Shut it and let me finger you! I need to shove these balls in!" "WHAT?!" . Because Leo picked the wrong words, a few bystanders blushed and grinned as they thought that Leo and Esen were couples. After all, only Esen had the guts to swear or curse Leo out loud. Among the onlookers, Yao Qiqi was among them. She giggled. "I knew it. Senior Angel and Sister Esen are couples!" Xu Nuan nkly stared at the little girl. She corrected her, "I don''t think senior Florida Man and Her Majesty Esen have that kind of rtionship. Where did you hear that from?" "Are you sure? I heard it from Cat!" "Cat?" "She said that they have a simr air. They smell the same, she said." "But Esen is an undead." "Senior Angel smells like a corpse sometimes, too. He smells like her!" "That''s probably Cat''s saliva. Didn''t Cat lick Esen a lot when you guys were ying together?" "" Yao Qiqi flinched as she also remembered Cat''s bad breath. As Xu Nuan had said, Cat often licked Esen and praised her taste. "So, Cat lied to me." "More like a misunderstanding. Rather, Cat probably wants to eat her, but she couldn''t." "No way. Cat never eats her friends, but she loves to kiss and lick! One time, she kissed me, but she sucked me into her mouth by ident! She licked me a lot though. It was fun, but stinky." "" Xu Nuan sighed. This ce was so weird that she had a new headache every day. Chapter 140 Florida Man Struck by Lightning While Fingering His 7-Year-Old Girlfriend

Chapter 140 Florida Man Struck by Lightning While Fingering His 7-Year-Old Girlfriend

Chapter 140 C Florida Man Struck by Lightning While Fingering His 7-Year-Old Girlfriend After putting the parasitic eyeballs into Esen''s eye sockets, the parasites merged with her. The undead lich regained her eyeballs for the first time. Esen blinked several times to get used to her new sense. She rubbed her brow as the vision was too pricky. At first, she stumbled back and forth as she couldn''t maintain her body bnce. A few minutester, her pupils dted as she finally adapted to the new organs. "That wasn''t necessary," Esenined. "My Qi vision is much better. I can see everything around me without these eyes!" Leo scoffed. As he already added her name to the tournament roster, he needed to make her look like a human child. Thus, sending her there without eyeballs might raise some eyebrows. "I need you to disguise yourself as a human child and join that tournament I talked about. I can''t send you there without an eye." "Are you stupid?! They''re gonna know! I''m even stronger than those so-called ''Celestial Kings'' among the immortals!" "Celestial King? Is that a rank of the immortal tier?" Esen flinched and frowned. She found Leo weird. "Aren''t you an immortal?" "Mortals, immortals, I don''t know dog crap about cultivation bases. Welp, if a celestial king like you can''t beat me, you might as well call me Florida God!" "" Esen tilted her head, but she remembered the feedback that she detected from Leo yesterday. At first, she thought that Leo was a weird immortal whose physique surpassed the limits of all celestial beings. However, upon realizing how clueless Leo was, she believed he was simr to the monster beasts. Monster beasts relied on their instinct to grow stronger. They evolved their flesh and blood until they became invincible among their peers. Then, they came out from their nests to either find mates or expand their territory. Judging from the monster beast''s nature, Leo strangely fit in the category. Still, there was a contradiction to Esen''s theory. Leo''s body contained Qi and the essence that cultivators had. Someone like him couldn''t possibly be a monster beast. Esen was confused. "What are you, really?" Leo scoffed, "Like I said, I''m Florida God!" "Yeah, right," Esen shook her head. She thought of him as a stupid brute. "Anyway, back to the topic, the tournament hosts will definitely detect my life core. I''m not even a monster beast or a cultivator. I don''t have a beating heart or a dantian. They will find out." "You don''t have to worry about that. Hehehehe." Leo ejected barrels of rejuvenating tea and yin fluid for Esen. The yin fluid came from the mutated corpses that Leo collected from the Fatui Cult while the pinnacle-grade tea barrels were from the alchemy workshops. Leo had so many of them that he could splurge one or two for bribery. "How about you drink that blood? You tried to suck my blood when we met." "I wanted your life force, not your blood." "But don''t you drink blood?" "I do, actually. Well, since you insist" Esen had no idea what Leo was plotting. She opened the barrel of rejuvenating tea and swallowed several mouthfuls of it at once. The onlookers gulped as they were aware of the effects. Nobody dared to stop her as they were afraid of Leo and Esen. They could only watch their interaction, waiting for the tea to start decreasing Esen''s physical age. CRACK CRACK Leo and everybody could hear Esen''s skeletons and bones cracking. Esen''s purple skin was lighter and brighter while her skinny arms and legs gained some mass. Esen got a bit chubbier. She no longer looked malnourished. The lich empress didn''t stop drinking tea. She lifted the entire barrel and kept downing every drop as if they were delicious beer. "PUHA!" Finally, Esen emptied 50 liters of tea. She wiped her mouth and loudly burped. Then, she patted her round belly. "That was good shit!" Leo raised his eyebrows and gazed at Esen''s physique. He also counted his fingers to calcte. "10 = 20 years. That was 50 liters, so 500 times 20. That''s 10,000 years How old are you again?" Esen didn''t pay attention to Leo and didn''t hear his question, but she already opened the barrel of yin fluid. She lifted the 50-liter barrel and started drinking. CRACK CRACK Esen never realized that her body slowly changed. Her bones never stopped cracking and reshaping while her skin gained a brighter color. From light purple, it turned dark green. From dark green, it faded into light yellowish. Leo frowned as he wondered where all the liquid disappeared in Esen''s body. A hundred liters of blood and tea entered her stomach, but nothing came out. "BURP!" Again, Esen finished her meal. She widely grinned. "That really hit the spot. I feel alive!" Leo pursed his lips and inspected Esen''s current appearance. She looked no different than a Caucasian blond girl, but her pupils were glowing in crimson. Her signature vampire fangs were still there as well. She reverted into a blond vampire, who was also a necromancer. "Say, Esen. How old are you exactly?" Esen licked her bloody fingers, "Dunno. I''ve stopped counting when it went over 5,000, but it''s roughly 10,000ish." "Hmm." Curious, Leo checked Esen''s lifespan status as he had never inspected her before. . Name: Esen Sydin IV Age: 10,007 Remaining Lifespan: Null. . Leo was shocked. For the first time, he found someone without a life force! "Zero lifespans? How the hell are you still alive?" Esen also stared at the revtion of her exact age. When she noticed how old she was, she giggled. "I''m quite urate, ain''t I? I told you I''m somewhat 10,000. Oh, per your inquiry, I was born an undead. UN-DEAD! I''m already dead, you idiot." Leo had several questions in his mind. He also noticed the inconsistency of Esen''s testimony and her current appearance. She looked more like a living person than a lich. Moreover, Leo could faintly hear her heartbeat. Pointing out his doubt, Leo told Esen, "Your heart is beating though." "That''s impossible. All my internal organs all rotted and decayed ages ago wait, what?!" Esen patted her chest as she sensed her heartbeat. In shock, he stared at Leo. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?!" "That''s what I''m asking." "" Both Esen and Leo were baffled. Esen was bbergasted that she had a pulse like a living creature while Leo still wondered why she had "Null" as her lifespan. Leo never studiedputernguages, so he didn''t know about the true meaning of "Null". He scratched his head. Even though both couldn''t understand how these happened, Leo achieved his goal as nobody should suspect Esen of her age and race now. "Anyway, congrats foring back to life?" Leo drylyughed. "This is not funny! I''m an undead! I''m supposed to be dead and alive!" "Just turn off your brain and ept reality, really. It''s easier to skip the first four stages of grieves than go through all five at once. It''s bad for mental health." "But I should be dead!" Leo deeply sighed as Esen could sometimes be annoying and loud. He patted her head as usual, "Just treat it as a gift or a miracle. Oh, I forgot to ask you. You said that you were born an undead. Then, how the hell did you grow up?" "Get your hand off me, peasant!" Esen swatted Leo''s hand off her hand and yelled. "When I said I was born undead, I meant it! When I came to my senses, I was already an undead!" Leo noticed another clue from her words. He had a hypothesis that Esen was once a human, but she was resurrected by something. After all, she had a surname, and her family seemed to have a long lineage. "So, you don''t remember anything when you''re a human?" "I was never a human!" "Are you sure?" "Of course! The previous lich emperor raised me before he ascended." "Mhm. So the previous lich emperor raised you and the first thing you saw was him, right?" "How did you know?" "Mhm. I think I get the picture" Leo was sure that Esen was once a human, but she was resurrected as an undead, which was the reason she never had a lifespan. Moreover, it would exin why she looked like a child. As zombies or undead creatures shouldn''t be able to grow up, she might have gotten stuck in her previous human form for 10,000 years without realizing it. Aftering to a revtion, Leo kept his mouth shut. He didn''t want to ruin the girl''s feelings. Unfortunately, Leo forgot something important. It had been 30 seconds since hest touched Esen while she had a mortal physique. "KYAAAAAA!!" Suddenly, Esen screamed. Her blood and flesh swelled and moved in her body like a snake. "GEEZER, HELP!" Leo was also shocked. He had touched Esen several times, but his cancer cells never did anything to her. He was baffled by how the mutation happened after all their interactions. He rushed back to the alchemy workshop, where he had ordered the mannequins to make elixir grain pills to educate the alchemy team. He picked up a handful of pinnacle-grade elixir pills on the way back. . Pinnacle-Grade Elixir Grain Pill - Satisfy the hunger for 480 days. - Increase metabolism and regenerative abilities for 100 days. - Increase lifespan by 200 years. - Increase all five elements Qi by 200 years'' worth of cultivation. . That was Leo''s only healing pill among his merchandise. He returned to Esen''s side and shoved a pill down her throat. "COUGH!" Because of Esen''s small throat, the pill got stuck. "Dammit. Err, what do I do Oh, right. I can do that! Sorry, brat!" Leo tried to stick his finger into her throat to push it. However, his skin touched directly to her tongue and mouth, causing to mutation to quicken. Realizing his mistake, Leo''s brain malfunctioned. He panicked. "Dammit. Not like this!" As Leo no longer thought properly, he pointed his finger into her mouth and fired a stream of water directly. Because of the water, the elixir pill entered her stomach at longst. Esen was no longer choking, but the mutation already reached every part of her body. "Geezer" Esen''s teary eyes gazed at Leo. She reached out to touch him. "Help." "" Leo was desperate. He pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead. "Endure, Esen. Your cells are evolving, but they are rebelling against you. You must show them who the boss is and suppress them with your willpower. When they submit to you, you will evolve like me!" "" Esen''s swelling body trembled while tears rolled down her cheek. For the first time in her life, she was afraid of death. The mutation process was too painful. RUMBLE As if heaven bullied them, lightning tribtion clouds gathered above Esen and Leo. The sky turned dark. The onlookers looked up and noticed the orange lightning bolts in the sky. The disciples and sanctuary maidens opened their mouths in astonishment while Hua Jiashan and Dongfang Mei were flustered. "ORANGE HEAVEN TRIBULATION! EVERYBODY, RUN! GET AWAY FROM LORD FLORIDA MAN!" Leo also looked up. He recognized the orange lightning clouds well. However, he was not in the mood to entertain heaven. As Leo had learned how to use Qi, he pointed his finger at the clouds. Then, hemanded. "Metal rod." WHOOSH A steel beam appeared from Leo''s finger and flew toward the clouds. As soon as it touched the orange clouds, a lightning bolt struck. BOOM The lightning bolt was a chain lightning. It passed through the steel beam and came for Esen! Leo deeply exhaled and threw a punch toward the iing lightning bolt. "Fine. You win. SERIOUS FLORIDIAN PUNCH!" The fist generated a wide sonic boom ripple andpressed air. It also produced a ck lightning bolt, flying toward the iing heavenly tribtion. The ck lightning consumed the orange lightning. It flew upward and hit the orange clouds. BOOOOM The tribtion clouds dispersed! Just like that, Leo canceled the heaven''s tribtion with a superior heaven''s tribtion lightning bolt. That was not all. The ck lightning bolt shot in a straight line like aser beam. It pierced through the atmosphere and disappeared into space. The thunder was so loud that everybody below covered their ears and screamed. Even Hua Jiashan''s eardrums ruptured as he couldn''t withstand the noise. As for the rest, they either fainted or vomited blood. MUNYA! WOOF! Followed by the loud thunderbolt, two of the statue guardians activated their domain abilities. Light beacons shone upon the critically injured disciples, elders, and Hua Jiashan. Their destroyed eardrums were instantly healed. Some of the fainted disciples regained their senses. One of the light beacons also shone upon Esen and Leo. Thetter could hear the ck-winged angel''s voice. "Master, that girl needs your virgin yang to bnce her overwhelming virgin yin. Give her your blood, and she should be fine." Leo heard the tips. He nodded and bit his fingertip. Unfortunately, his blood cells misunderstood him and instantly healed the wound. "Dammit. I need some of you. Don''t heal my wound!" In frustration, Leo bit other parts of his body to bleed. After cutting his wrist, his transparent blood finally came out. Leo gently poured his blood into Esen''s small mouth. However, she didn''t react or swallow his blood. "" Annoyed, Leo pried open her mouth and squeezed his wrist to drop the transparent blood into her throat. But again, she couldn''t swallow it. Esen''s mutation reached the critical stage, and she couldn''t move or talk anymore. "Sorry, but I ain''t a romantic dude. Make do with these, okay?" Instead of kissing her and inserting his tongue like a clich romance story, Leo pointed his finger into her mouth and fired a pressured water stream at her throat again, forcing the collective blood in her mouth to go down. It worked. Esen swallowed his blood. However, her eyes reddened as if she was angry at something. "What? You drank my blood. Isn''t it enough?" Leo scoffed at her. Five minutester, Esen''s condition got better. The swelling flesh and limbs reverted to normal even though some parts were twisted. Her arms, legs, and body got slightly bigger, but it would take a while for her to heal. Leo was happy that Esen made it through the tough part. He could only wait for the girl to finish her evolution and obtain a new physique. He put the injured girl to her bed. Although Esen was in a bad condition, her eyes still rotated around as she had been observing Leo. Her throat vibrated as she tried to talk. "You fool!" Leo snickered, "You''re wee." Chapter 145 Florida Man Burnt Alive While Doing TikTok Challenge - Taking A Bath In Active Volcano ? Chapter 145 C Florida Man Burnt Alive While Doing TikTok Challenge - Taking a Bath in Active Volcano Leo walked closer to the mysterious golden tree. He gave it a closer look. The surface of the golden tree was the same as other sweet dream mushrooms except for its color. It also produced pink mist as it tried to multiply. Leo rumbled through his pockets and picked up a nk spatial ring. He put his hand on the golden tree and stored it in the dimensional space. The tree vanished into the ring. However, the pink mist still lingered in the area. Giving it time, they would resurrect sweet dream mushrooms and terrorize this world. "Hans." Leo uttered and pointed his index finger at the pink mist. FWOOSH A stream of yellow me came out from Leo''s finger, devouring the pink mist in the area. Leo moved his finger around to torch everything to ash. As Leo kept burning the mist, they faded and vanished. However, he didn''t let his guard down as he knew how dangerous they were. "Hans." For good measure, Leo sent his Qi into his right foot and stomped it. BOOM The ground caved in while the sides got pushed away. Leo created another crater with his stomp, but it had another effect. Everything under him turned into moldyva as the extreme temperature from the impact and Leo''s Qi melted rocks and soil under him. The sted town sank into the crimson slime-like liquid. As for Leo, his feet sank into theva until it reached his knees. Leo snorted and walked through theva as if they were regr swamps. He pushed through the heat and got caught on fire once again. The me did nothing to Leo''s hair, skin, or physique, but it removed his fat and impurity from his pores. Leo enjoyed it as if he took a casual sunbath without relying on sunscreen in his hometown. The extreme temperature and theva melted the remnant mushroom spore away. However, the molten liquid slowly moved and gathered in the crater, threatening to bury Leo alive. Leo noticed the wave ofvaing for him. He sighed and jumped, exiting theva crater. After leaving the crater, Leo checked on his clothes if they were still there. Fortunately, the new clothes, made from Leo''s skin and Qi were unaffected by the me and the temperature. Even his sneakers were still intact. Looking at his jeans and t-shirt, Leo pursed his lips. He was bored of these casual clothes. ''I should pick up those swags from the cloth shop. But having a long beard and long hair looks weird in a ck suit. Should I shave a bit?'' Leo stroked his beard. He pondered about the shave, and he let his intrusive thoughts take over for a moment. He made a scissor gesture with his index and middle finger. Then, he snipped half of his long silky beard. SNIP Half of the long beard fell into theva pool below. Then, Leo rubbed his trimmed beard. Unfortunately, his long white beard instantly regenerated and restored its former glory. Moreover, each string got slightly thicker. "Hah, I knew it." Leo shook his head. It was as he had predicted. After the orange lightning tribtion, his body automatically regenerated lost body parts or healed his wounds. Even when he lost a limb or two, he grew them back. However, there was one w C His body remained the same as when he transcended the orange lightning tribtion. He could not shave or cut his hair anymore. He had to leave them as they were. Having no choice, Leo thought of tying his hair or braiding his long beard. He thought of ancient Viking portraits on the inte. ''I should change my looks for once. This might be fun since I have to meet that stupid emperor. I need to bait those idiots to attack my store so that I can steal no, no, no. Many workers are too weak. If theyunch their attacks, those guys will die.'' Unwilling to let his freeborers die, Leo came up with a new approach. He snickered while he hopped out of theva swamp, heading back home. . A few minutes after Leo had left the former city of Dragon Mantis, the swamp ofva changed color from red to ck. At first, it looked natural C When magma cooled, they turned into obsidians, cinders, pumice, ash, and dust. However, as it touched Leo''s skin directly and received the blessing of his radiation aura, a hidden bacteria in theva pool mutated. It devoured hot rocks and random material to grow. As it kept eating, the bacteria multiplied. Soon, they spread everywhere underground and continued consumingva and random hot minerals. Unfortunately, the bacteria had a short lifespan. After staying alive for 10 minutes in the molten liquid, they died and returned to the soil. As they kept dying, they kept multiplying to fight against the impending extinction. One of the surviving mutated bacteria dug deeper into the ground and discovered the buried remains of a badger. It ate some of the rotten meat and multiplied before it died. The bacteria''s descendants instantly inherited its ancestor''s good and bad traits. As they were born near the buried corpse of an animal, they preyed on the other bacteria and creatures nearby. The newly evolved bacteria absorbed the DNA of the badger. Then, they returned to theva. CRACK After getting back to theva pool, the bacteria with badger DNA got in touch with a remnant of Leo''s DNA. They evolved again and began forming a physical body, using the badger''s DNA as a base. 12 hours after Leo had left, a small badger emerged from theva pool. Using Leo''s quick generation ability, it mimicked the dead badger''s physique and created a new body for itself to survive. However, it quickly died from the excessive evolution. More bacteria ate the deadva badger and learned from its DNA structure. They tried to copy him and evolved as well. More creatures emerged. Some died instantly after the evolution, but a few managed to survive a few minutes. A trial and error process continued as the newly evolved bacteria experimented with their true potential. Soon, a new terrifying monster would be born in the Dragon Mantis City. . . Meanwhile, Leo returned home. When he arrived, he discovered the terrible condition of his domain. The northern area of his domain was safe, but it was impossible to expand northward anymore due to therge slope of a crater. Leo stood at the edge of the crater and scratched his head. ''It didn''t want to do this. Oh, boy. There goes the northern highway.'' After shaking his head, Leo walked back to his store as he nned to take it easy for the rest of the day. While walking back, Hua Jiashan, Dongfang Mei, and other elders rushed to see him in panic, especially the sword sect master. "My lord! I heard you went into the mysterious pink mist! Was it a sweet dream mushroom?!" Leo shrugged, "Yeah, it''s the mushrooms." "!!!" Everybody''s face was as white as a sheet. They froze for a few seconds before they knelt. "P-Please protect us, Lord Florida Man! None of us can remove or repel the sweet dream mushrooms and the Jiangshis. Only you can save us all! We don''t want our entire continent to perish!" Leo rolled his eyes as these guys overreacted, "Meh. Don''t worry about that. I''ve already burnt everything to ash earlier. Don''t you see the carnage I left behind?" He pointed at the crater at the north and the white smoke at a distance. The sky over there was dark as the ash from the magma blocked the sunlight. Hua Jiashan''s eyes glittered. He looked up and brightly smiled, "Really?!" "Yup. I nuked them all." "YES! THANK YOU, MY LORD!" Hua Jiashan squealed and shouted like a madman. He even kissed Leo''s sneakers. Leo grumbled, "The show is over. Go back to work. My clothes are still on fire, and you idiot still kiss my dirty shoes? Are you nuts?" "" Upon being reminded that Leo''s clothes were on fire, the elders finally noticed it. At first, they thought the me was his aura, so they didn''t pay attention to it. Leo scoffed and patted the fire off his t-shirt and jeans. He shooed the crowd away. "Scram! Get back to work! This ain''t a show!" "Y-Yes, my lord!" Everybody dispersed in a panic. Still, they secretlyughed as they were happy with how Leo treated his subordinates. After all, Leo was never arrogant or overbearing like other n lords or sect masters. He might use his paper fans to smack some sense into them, but he never harmed or bullied his men. After the crowd went away, Leo finally got the time to rest. But instead of heading to his bedroom, he took an elevator to the mystic realm tform. Getting on the tform, Leo walked toward the ck-winged angel statue. He rubbed the spatial ring that stored the golden mushroom tree earlier and snapped a twig from it. Then, he brought it out. "Meowmeow, do you know what it is?" Leo named the angel statue "Meowmeow" out of spite. As the statue had too many beautiful concubines around him, Leo always hated the guy. Still, he was the most knowledgeable servant among the four statues. The angel''s eyes glowed in green as it was awakened from Leo''s words. He gazed at the golden twig and smirked. ''That is a twig of the world tree, master.'' "A world tree? Are you serious? This came from sweet dream mushrooms!" ''Sweet Dream Mushrooms are the origin of world trees, master. Every demon realm has one. I''m surprised that you managed to find one here.'' Leo frowned. He had doubts. "How did you know that? Aren''t you supposed to be my shadow? I don''t even know jackshit about this crap, but you seem to know everything." ''I was born from your entity fate crystal and your dao. Obviously, I got my knowledge from the fate crystal that existed long before you were born, master.'' "Entity Fate Crystal again" Leo deeply sighed. The statues already exined to him what it was for, and he still couldn''t believe it. "I feel like I''m in the Matrix." ''Not for long, master. You should upgrade your store to level 10. Then, the fun part will begin.'' Leo deeply sighed as he was depressed. He already figured out what would happen in the next upgrade, and he was not ready for the massive changes. He put this matter to the back of his head. "Anyway," Leo changed the subject. "What can I do with this?" ''World Tree''s twig is a valuable material for a weapon or alchemy. Instead of asking me, you should research it with the system you have.'' "But those guys down there will make a ruckus if they know that I''m keeping an evolved sweet dream mushroom." ''It''s fine, master. In fact, you have a subordinate who can suppress the world treepletely and tame it.'' "Who?" ''Your girlfriend.'' Leo rolled his eyes, "I don''t have a girlfriend, fool." ''You do now.'' Meowmeow smirked while his concubines giggled. Again, Leo deeply frowned as he didn''t understand Meowmeow. He snorted and stored the twig back in his spatial ring. When Leo turned around, he found a person behind him. She was a pretty girl in her teens. Her iconic blond hair curled into two small drills, hanging by the side of her pointy ears. Her small lips and glossy skin looked alive as if she was a human. In addition, her green parasite eyes were brighter than a torch as they assimted with her virgin yin Qi. Esen looked like a high-elf aristocrat from a Japanese anime! Leo stared at the new look of Esen, the lich empress. He sized her up and whistled. "Heya, brat. Aren''t you a looker yourself?" Esen rested one hand on her hips while the other hand covered her mouth. She smirked, "Ohohoho! How do you like my new appearance? Are you falling for the new me?" Leo nced down and stared at her chest. Then, he grinned and snorted, "Grow some milker first, and we''ll talk." "" Esen flinched. She nced at her chest. Although Esen managed to grow taller and bigger, her chest was still as t as a board. "MUKIIIIIII!!" Being humiliated, Esen''s face reddened. Out of anger, she threw a punch at Leo''s face. POW Instead of hurting him, Esen hurt her fist. "OW! DAMMIT, GEEZER! What the hell is wrong with you?!" "That''s my question, brat. Who asked you to punch me?" "" Esen''s eyes got teary as she failed to get back on Leo once again. She stomped away and jumped off from the tform. A few secondster, Leo heard a loudmotion below and a scream from Gao Yan. It seemed that Esen took her anger on the poor guy. Leo snickered and shook his head. He looked back at Meowmeow. "Her? My girlfriend?" The angel shrugged, ''You suit each other.'' "Not in a million years, dumbass. She''s not my type. I want MILF, not a snotty brat!" Meowmeow widely grinned as if he was looking forward to seeing Leo''s reaction in the future. However, he kept the secret to himself. ''You''ll see, master. My prediction is never wrong.'' "Sure. Sure." Leo jumped off the tform and descended toward the alchemy workshop. He had some work to do regarding the sweet dream mushrooms and the world tree. Chapter 147 Florida Man Earns Millions by Forcing Teen to Eat Black Matsutake Mushroom with Cheese

Chapter 147 Florida Man Earns Millions by Forcing Teen to Eat ck Matsutake Mushroom with Cheese

Chapter 147 C Florida Man Earns Millions by Forcing Teen to Eat ck Matsutake Mushroom with Cheese After setting up the array, four transparent walls emerged from the ground, trapping the pink spores and the growing world tree inside. The small twigs emitted strong elemental essence and fueled the array as if they were batteries. Esen wrote unreadable words on the transparent walls, causing the array to shine. She then exined what she did. "This will prevent the sweet dream mushrooms from spreading outside the array and limit the tree''s growth. It''s a temporary measure, though." "Temporary? Not permanent?" Leo didn''t like what he heard. "You can''t simply tell ants to stop reproducing. Even though we can limit their area of influence, we can''t stop their growthpletely. Look, geezer. Every tree, nt, flower, and fruit all have the same origin. Their ancestors were fungi. Look at how tree branches and roots grow and spread. Don''t they look like mushrooms?" "" Leo had noment on that as he was not Neil deGrasse Tyson or a modern scientist. He slightly opened his mouth as he was enlightened. "Because we can''t stop the fungi from multiplying, we can only prune them. Well, in my era, we can just simply eat away those excess mushrooms. But in your case, heh, I doubt you can eat it." Leo pursed his lips, "You sure?" "No man can survive after eating it! I dare you, geezer. Go ahead and eat it. Then, you will be a mindless Jiangshi!" "" Leo shrugged and walked into the array. His body phased through the invisible wall as they couldn''t prevent him from entering the restricted zone. Entering the mushroom farm, Leo walked closer to the nted world tree. It rapidly grew taller and bigger. On its trunk, pink mushrooms rapidly grew. Leo ignored the pink mushrooms. He gazed at several dark spots on the golden tree as new mutated mushrooms emerged one after another. He picked up a ck mushroom with white dots on its head. It had the same shape as matsutake mushrooms, but it looked poisonous. ''New specimen? Welp, research, it is.'' Leo put the mushroom in his spatial ring to contain it. Then, he pulled a pink mushroom from the world tree and ate it. It smelled like truffles! He chewed it in glee and savored the rich taste. DING The lifespan reward was disappointing. The only thing good about these mushrooms was the taste. They were a lot better than nd mutated vegetables and bananas as Leo grew sick of them. Leo drooled. He then smacked his forehead. ''I shouldn''t have listened to Hua Jiashan. I should have cultivated these mushrooms from the start! I could even make several luxurious dishes with these!'' He regretted removing the previous batches of sweet dream mushrooms. He wished that he should have let them grow inside the workshop. Addicted to the rich taste and the rewards, Leo began plucking mushrooms from the golden tree and stuffed them in his mouth. His hands never stopped moving as he swiped every mushroom in his reach. Esen stood there, staring at the weird scene in a daze. She was puzzled. "Huh? Is he infected?" Curious, Esen walked closer to Leo to check his condition. But Leo suddenly turned around while one of the pink male-genital-like mushrooms was still in his mouth. "Wut? Want some Non-Nom?" "" Esen paused for a long time as Leo''s expression was weird and vulgar. But when she regained her senses, Leo already finished 50 pieces of matured mushrooms. She even saw him put a long ck fungi into his mouth. Leo didn''t think much of it. He bit the tip off and chewed the mutated mushroom. The pink tasted like truffles, but the mutated one tasted like hot cheese and cooked truffles. It was delicious! DING The boost was not rewarding, but it filled his stomach. Moreover, the smell of hot cheese was never wrong. After finishing the first ck mushroom, Leo plucked the third one and was about to eat it. However, an intrusive thought and Leo''s ADHD acted up. He looked at the thick ck mushroom for a moment. He secretly cut the tip, and a drop of white juice leaked. He grinned and pointed it to Esen''s face. "Here, wanna eat it? This one is very good." "Huh? What is that? I''ve never seen sweet dream mushrooms in that color." "Here, put it in your mouth. It tastes like cheese." "What is cheese?" "Try it first. Open wide." "" Esen realized that Leo was never affected by the mushrooms. She frowned and stared at the fungi. Although she wished to question Leo how he was immune to the mushroom''s parasites, her desire to taste a new food overwhelmed her. She opened her mouth and showed her tongue. Leo chortled like a viin before he shoved the ck long mushroom into her mouth. Then, he squeezed it. SPLASH The white juicy liquid in the ck mushroom got pushed to the tip. Then, it released the sticky cheese liquid into her throat. "MMM!" The scene looked straight from a hentai or a porn movie. Leo cackled to the point that he rolled on the ground andughed in tears. Meanwhile, Esen choked. She coughed and spat some of the mushroom cheese from her mouth. Then, she threw the half-eaten mushroom at Leo. "BASTARD! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" "DAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Leo pointed at her flushed face. He mocked her. "You look very sexy, brat! You should star in AV movies! I bet Epstein and his customers would love it!" "What the hell are you talking about?! Wait Dammit, geezer! You bully me again!" Esen screamed at Leo and kicked his butt several times. Although her kick did nothing to him, Leo feinted getting hurt and then ran away from her. After Leo had run away, Esen snorted. She turned her attention to the other ck mushrooms on the tree. ''What''s so funny about the mushrooms? It''s delicious, though.'' Not understanding the references, Esen plucked a ck mushroom to eat it, but she put the tip into her mouth first. Then, Esen started sucking the cheese out before eating the entire thing. She didn''t realize that Gao Yan had been watching their interaction, and his face was as red as tomatoes. . . With Esen''s help, the domain got a new manmade farnd, aka the mushroom farm. Although it consisted of a tall golden tree and four short twigs, it continuously produced sweet dream mushrooms and mutated mushrooms every few minutes. Esen got a new job. She was in charge of managing the mushroom farm and the world tree. Leo ended up giving her an upgraded barrel, and he taught her how to use it. After learning the applications of the new cube, Esen yed with it. She followed Leo''s instructions and created a new crewmate spacesuit to wear. Then, Leo gave her a newly upgraded container for her to collect or store the mushrooms. Just like that, Leo gained the first official crewmate to join his cosy party. Esen painted her suit yellow to match her hair color while Leo continued using his rainbow suit. . . Leo hummed as he brought a few sweet dream mushrooms and the ck ones to the workshops. One workshop continued working on dantian pills. Another one was still busy with the Floridian Dantian Pill. As for the third, it was idle. Leo had ordered the mannequin to make something from the world tree twig, but he didn''t give it a new order. As a result, after the workshop finished making the product, the local mannequin waited for Leo to replenish the ingredients. He went to the workshop and picked up the finished product. He checked the result. . Cugatti, the Flying Sword of Living Death This flying sword has been merged with the Twig of Sweet Dream World Tree. Any opponent being inflicted by this word will be branded with the Undead Curse C The victim will undergo a mutation and die while their consciousness will be controlled by the curse. . In short, Leo could use it to turn others into zombies! Leo smacked his lips. He found it silly as he never intended to use it as a weapon. He still had a pistol. A Floridian like him didn''t need anything else but bigger guns! Since Leo had no intention of continuing to use this sword, he looked around, wondering if he could see it to somebody. Then, he came up with an idea. "Right. I can put this in my store as merchandise. The guns, too!" Leo kept the sword to himself for now. He didn''t forget what he came here for. Bringing out the ck mushroom, Leo tossed it into the cauldron and researched it. DING . True Death Mushroom Can only be found in demon realms. This mushroom''s spores can strip a cultivator''s immortality and life force if the cultivator doesn''t have virgin yin or virgin yang essence in their dantian. Can be used in alchemy. [Alchemy Recipe C True Death Poison Pill] One True Death Mushroom One Sweet Dream Mushroom One Drop of Virgin Yin Blood One Drop of Virgin Yang Blood Wood and Earth Crystalized Essence . The recipe looked normal, except for the essence part and the catalysts. It didn''t require an element catalyst like the others, but it demanded crystalized essences. Leo wasn''t confident that he could make this pill any time soon as the crystalized essence was new. For the moment, he took notes of the recipe. Then, he checked for a recipe that required sweet dream mushrooms as a material. . [Pill Recipe C Hope and Dream Pill] One Sweet Dream Mushroom Ten Yang Catalysts Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood Essence [Pill Recipe C Determination Pill] One Sweet Dream Mushroom Ten Yin Catalysts Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood Essence . Looking at the recipes, Leo remembered something. He recalled that he once ordered his mannequin to make the hope and dream pill, but he forgot about it. As the mannequins either stored their finished pills in the warehouse or the workshops, Leo searched for the pills. It wasn''t hard to find the finished products as they were kept separately in a Tupperware box. . Medium Grade Hope and Dream Pill - Heal Medium Wounds - Restore 30 of Blood - Restore Stamina by 30% - Enhance Qi and Physical Strength for 3 Hours - Induce Sleep for 3 Hours . For the first time, Leo received a proper healing medicine. With this, he no longer needed the elixir grain pills, which had too many side effects. However, this pill''s effects were questionable. "What''s the point of the buff if you will put someone to sleep?! Is this Sleeping Zenitsu pill?!" Chapter 148 Florida Man Encourages Martial Art Students to Bring Guns to Karate Class

Chapter 148 Florida Man Encourages Martial Art Students to Bring Guns to Karate ss

Chapter 148 C Florida Man Encourages Martial Art Students to Bring Guns to Karate ss Since Leocked proper healing medicines, he queued the avable workshop to produce Hope and Dream Pills. DING The timer was quite long for a healing pill, but Leo couldn''t help it. After all, all workshops had the same setting. . Basic Alchemy Workshop Level 9 Active Cauldrons: (1/5) Alchemist Automatons (1/5) Production Quality Level C (5/5) Production Quantity Level C [2/5] . Leo regretted putting two points to the quantity level. Had he put those points to active cauldrons, he would have increased the production speed by 200%! ''Should I upgrade my store to level 10? But if I do that, the system protection is going to be'' He deeply sighed. He wished that the threat was just a joke. Thus, he walked to the general store and touched the wall, prompting it to show an upgrade menu. DING Leo closed the menu and grumbled. He thought of the conversation he had with Meowmeow and the other three guardian statues as the new feature was closely rted to the entity fate crystal inside him. ''Damn it all. There''s no free meal in this universe. Damn that Entity Fate Crystal! Damn this universe!'' During the past 50,000 years, Leo went through thick and thin. He died and revived several times, and he faced countless tribtions. He should not have been invincible among all his peers. However, Leo was afraid of the terms "PVP" and "PLAYERS". He hated the idea that there might be somebody else with a simr system or strength as his. ''Should I enable it, or should I dy it for now?'' Leo slowly opened his eyes. His expression turned cold as he thought about a potential war between his people and the unknown forces of PLAYERS. As he had a new goal in his mind, he moved ording to his urgent need. Leo rushed to the warehouse and scoured for swords, des, knives, and other weapons. After fetching a dozen long swords and scimitars, he gathered them in front of the alchemy workshop. Leo stared at his workshop for an hour. He repeatedly sighed as he was in the middle of making a harsh decision. After an hour of long thought, Leo rechecked his lifespan pool. Leo splurged a bit as he purchased so many modern cars to decorate his store. Still, he replenished some of them back from random caimans that fell from the flying tform. He wanted to save up until he had a million years. However, his patience ran low as the workshops took too long to make pills. ''Screw it! I''ll save up for a few more days. After that stupid tournament, I''ll think about it again.'' Leo managed to suppress his intrusive thoughts. He killed time by bringing out the crashed Ferrari car to practice controlling it. . SCREEEEECH The enhanced vehicle beamed like a missile, circling around the road course. The loud engine noise and the screeching tires distracted the disciples on the farm and the junkyard. Hua Jiashan and other elders admired the vehicle from afar as they mistook it as a modified carriage fornd travel. They quickly got bored and returned to their duties, cultivating andpleting their daily tasks. While the workers slowly got used to the new ambiance of their workce, a certain alchemist disciple had bad luck. Gao Yan, whosebat and cultivation foundation was the weakest among nascent soul cultivators, was forced to takebat lessons. In front of him, Esen held an iron pine branch as if she was holding a sword. As for Gao Yan, he stood nearby, mimicking her posture. "This sword technique is called Terra Swordsmanship. It originates from the Kingdom of Merroc, the home of divine knights! Its strongest point is the firm and minimal movement! Watch carefully!" Gao Yan gulped. Although he used to practice the sword saint''s weapon techniques from the stone mural, he was interested in this pretty woman''s refined sword arts. WHOOSH Esen changed her posture. She held the branch close to her head and pointed the sword tip to the sky. Using the starting posture as a pivot, she rotated her weapon and swung it. Her range was short, but the momentum never ceased. She swiped, thrust, and shed like how a spear militia always practiced. However, her feet barely moved from the starting position. Despite the simplicity of the sword art, each strike from her carried a dao and sword intent. Her movement left behind sharp cuts in the wind, creating scary sounds. After demonstrating the first three movements, Esen stopped. She pointed at Gao Yan''s wooden sword and ordered him. "Now, your turn." "" Gao Yan took a deep breath and mimicked Esen''s movements. However, he was a lot slower than her, and his swing didn''t carry enough power of a nascent soul cultivator. In short, he still used the speed when he was a muscle-tempering realm cultivator. "Faster! More momentum!" "O-Okay!" Gao Yan repeated the moves. Even though he pushed his body to move faster, he couldn''tmand his body to move as he wanted. "AGAIN!" "Y-YES, SENIOR!" Once more, Gao Yan tried harder, yet his speed didn''t improve. "TOO SLOW! REPEAT IT 30,000 TIMES!" "W-What? T-Thirty thousand?! That''s impossible!" "Shut it and do it! You''re the onlybatant among the representatives! The others are tamers, so they don''t have to worry about the training. But you, silly boy, you don''t know jack shit about a fight between nascent soul cultivators. If you go to thepetition right now, you will die 100%!" Gao Yan''s face was as white as a sheet. Although he used to practice the sword saint''s technique a few thousand times a day, 30,000 times was a scary number. "Stop hesitating and do it until you drop! You have only less than two weeks to prepare! GET MOVING!" "Y-YES, SENIOR!" Gao Yan cried as he swung the wooden sword in his hand. . . 10 Days quickly passed. It was one day before the gathering appointment at the Cauliflower City. Five representatives of Leo''s domain were ready. Esen, Gao Yan, Yao Qiqi, Cat, Taxi, Ricardo, and two girls from the sanctuary brought their belongings and stood in front of Leo''s store, waiting for him to take them to the Cauliflower City. Gao Yan, Esen, Yao Qiqi, and the girls wore the signature tactical suits. Their ck clothes, white shirts, neckties, ck pants, and leather shoes made them look good. Cat, Taxi, and Ricardo also got their new clothes. Cat received a green dress, which covered her humanoid torso on top of the big mouth below her. As for the nightmare and the unicorn, Leo equipped them with a saddle, a saddle nket, stirrups, cinches, bridles, and reins. Everybody seemed ready, but Leo was dissatisfied. "Hmm." Leo sized up Gao Yan and others. He wasn''t worried about Yao Qiqi and the two extra tamers as Cat and the horses would do the fight for them. He was more worried about the teenager. "How is your preparation going? I saw you trained with Esen in the past two weeks. Are you confident?" Gao Yan slouched and let out a long sigh. He then shook his head. "I don''t know, senior. In the past 10 days, Senior Esen only taught me three basic movements. I don''t think I''m ready to fight any nascent soul cultivator." Hua Jiashan and other elders were in the area. When they noticed that Gao Yan had no self-confidence, theyughed at him. Wu Buyi smacked the teenager''s back. "Look, my silly disciple. Nobody in the tournament will have the same cultivation base as you! At best, a few golden core cultivators from the Situ n, Ouyang n, or the Imperial family will show up. There''s a huge disparity between a golden core cultivator and a nascent soul cultivator. As long as you utilize your dao avatar well, you can''t lose!" Han Hao nodded in agreement, "He''s right. There''s no way that you can lose. You can use your dao avatar, right?" Gao Yan flinched. Then, he sneaked nces at Thora, who had always been following him around. Thora stuck out her tongue and ensured him. ''Do you think I''m here for decoration? Be confident, darling.'' "" Gao Yan felt a bit better. He then nervously gazed at Leo and Esen. "I-I''ll try my best, senior. I won''t disappoint you!" Leo scoffed, "I know. Oh, right. Are you still using that sword?" He referred to the lightsaber that Gao Yan had. As Gao Yan had been using it, Leo was worried about the battery. "Yes, but I think the energy in my artifact is running out of Qi. The energy sword seems weaker than before." "Yeah, I figure as much. Instead of using that, use this." Leo passed the Cugatti to Gao Yan. Thetter received it and sensed a tremendous aura from the sword. "Hmm?" Suddenly, Gao Yan heard a wailing screech from the sword. It sounded as if a haunted spirit inside the weapon wanted some action. Gao Yan almost dropped Cugatti on the ground. While trembling, he shoved the sword back to Leo. "I-I-I don''t think I can use this, senior!" Leo smirked and took it back. However, he tossed it toward Esen. "He''s not appreciating a good weapon. Well, you use it." Esen scoffed and caught the sword with one hand. She ignored the weird noise from the sword as if she was used to it. "Why are you scaring off some powerless banshees and spirits? They''re just random noises." Gao Yan was embarrassed. He lowered his head, afraid of looking at Esen''s face. On the other hand, the sword elders sweated profusely as they could sense the malicious aura and overwhelming yin element essence in the cursed weapon. "A cursed weapon. T-That''s against the rules," Tiger Swordsman''s legs were trembling in fear. Hua Jiashan facepalmed, "This tournament hosts are going to puke blood after this. Disguising a senior as a teenager is too much." Leo snorted as he didn''t care about the rules. After all, the emperor plotted against him, so Leo had no reason to show respect to the event. He didn''t stop there. As Gao Yan rejected his offer, Leo came up with a different idea. "Brat. Show me your artifact. I''ll rece the battery real quick." "" Gao Yan was reluctant, but he handed his lightsaber over to Leo. Thetter received it and tinkered with it. PLOP Leo unscrewed a part and shook it a few times. Then, a dimmed essence stone came out. He caught the stone and popped it into his mouth. While chewing the depleted essence stone as a candy, Leo ejected another essence stone and reced the old one. The stone was also old as Leo took it from a dead cultivator. However, Leo slightly recharged it by rubbing it a few times. After screwing the part back, Leo flipped the switch and activated the sword. BZZZ The lightsaber''s energy sword was bright yellow. It emanated the same energy as yellow tribtion lightning. Leo smacked his lips before he deactivated it and passed it to Gao Yan. He exined, "I limit the energy output to yellow for safety. As long as you cut somebody with that, your opponent will instantly turn into a stone or die on the spot. Make sure not to cut yourself, though." "" Gao Yan gulped. He wanted toin, but he didn''t dare offend Leo. Leo didn''t stop there. He distributed a matchlock rifle to the girls. Then, he taught them how to use it while he distributed boxes, full of sacred wood bullets. The bullets were custom-made. The bullet heads were made from sacred wood while the bottom was attached to a spirit stone, made from the recycling center. At a nce, the ammunition looked simr to modern bullets as it had a cone shape. However, the sacred wood consisted of two parts C the bullet head and the shell. As for the spirit stone, they were the recement for gunpowder. With a spirit stone, Leo cut the need for matches and fuses. Cultivators could inject their Qi directly into the chamber and ignite the spirit stone inside, mimicking the chemical reaction of gunpowder. Moreover, a spirit stone''s explosion was stronger than gunpowder''s force and it was reusable. After each shot, the used spirit stone would roll out from the smooth bore barrel, and cultivators could recycle them. "This weapon is also for your self-defense. While your monster fights, you should load the gun like this." Leo demonstrated how to insert a bullet into the chamber. Then, he pointed the muzzle toward the sky. BANG The bullet exited the gun barrel, leaving behind a spit of fire and a light shockwave. It shuttled to the sky at the speed of sound and disappeared. The elders, who owned the same rifles, nodded in admiration. They had been using their toys for a while, and they had seen the new bullets before. Leo continued exining, "This weapon is simple. Load a bullet, take aim, pull the trigger, and repeat. As long as you''re urate enough, you can kill your opponents from afar. It''s also very effective against pedophiles that you might run into in the future." Xu Nuan, Dongfang Mei, and the male elders grinned while Yao Qiqi and the girls looked confused. These girls would soon understand the usefulness of these firearms. Chapter 154 Vegan Representative Challenges Florida Man in Fencing. The Latter Brings Guns.

Chapter 154 Vegan Representative Challenges Florida Man in Fencing. The Latter Brings Guns.

Chapter 154 C Vegan Representative Challenges Florida Man in Fencing. The Latter Brings Guns. The town was the same as Leo had imagined. The building architecture style was mostly the same. All wooden buildings in the outer town area were either two or three stories big as they served as themercial area. Inns, taverns, and shops were packed withmoners and first-stage cultivators. Stronger cultivators who could use Qi suppressed their aura and mingled with them on the street. Stall vendors shouted to attract passing-by travelers. Tiger Swordsman swept nces at the local people and noticed that cultivators andmoners co-existed here, which was different from the Magpie City. "At Magpie City, we segregate the town into two parts C The cultivator area and themoner area. That way, we can prevent harmingmoners with our natural Qi. This is my first time seeing how a town operates without implicating themoners." Xu Nuan heard thement, but she disagreed. "That''s not it. If you pay attention carefully, you will notice that most nativemoners are actually 1st-stage cultivators. Themoners you see around here are all cultivators. No regrmoners can live here." Gao Yan, Yao Qiqi, and the two tamers nodded as they understood why. As they had been following their nascent soul seniors, their aura sometimes made them ufortable C they got suffocated whenever the senior''s overwhelming aura disrupted their breathing and Qi cirction. Meanwhile, Esen, Leo, Taxi, Cat, and Ricardo belonged to the non-cultivator category. As they had never been affected by random Qi oppression, they thought that Tiger Swordsman and Xu Nuan exaggerated their experience. Esen giggled, "That''s why human cultivators are weak and trashy! You can''t even endure the breaths of other people. How can they be an immortal with that mindset?" Leo snorted, "They don''t have infinite lifespans like yours. They were born fragile. Welp, I can''t say much about humans since I''m no longer one of them." "You aren''t?" Xu Nuan, Tiger Swordsman, Gao Yan, Yao Qiqi, and the girls were surprised. But when they thought about it, they wrylyughed. Xu Nuan sighed, "Right. You''re an immortal, senior. But still, please don''t forget about your origins. You said you WERE once a human, right? Please think of us, the humans, who are still struggling as a mortal." "Ah, sorry, sorry. My bad," Leo snickered. He didn''t tell them that he shouldn''t be considered a cultivator after all he had gone through. Only Esen gave him a weird look. She smacked her lips and cursed Leo in her mind. ''Damn monster.'' . . It took Leo''s party two hours to reach the inner city. They came across another checkpoint, where another array of walls separated the outer town from the residences of local aristocrats and cultivators. Upon reaching the checkpoint, the guards simply nced at Leo. Unlike the outer wall gate guards and their captain, all soldiers here were soul formation cultivators. The guards instantly identified everybody''s cultivation base. They flinched when they noticed the aura of Leo, Cat, Ricardo, and Taxi as they seemed to be stronger than a soul transformation cultivator. The gate guards remained vignt. One of them approached Xu Nuan and asked her. "Who is your group''s leader?" Xu Nuan turned toward Leo and introduced him, "This is Daoist Florida Man, the Lord of Florida Domain." "Domain? Foo-li-da?" The guards were confused as they had never heard of this organization''s name before. Still, as many experts apanied the group, they chose not to provoke them. "Pleasee inside. Also, senior, if possible, could you suppress your aura? Beyond here is the residence of aristocrats and noble families. Some servants are still low-level cultivators. Many children can''t withstand your aura" "Hmm." Leo nodded and deeply inhaled. Instantly, his rainbow aura faded. He didn''t suppress his aura. He simply held his breath. Then, all pores of his skin were closed, sealing all holes. Seeing how Leo efficiently and effortlessly suppressed his Qi and aura, the guards saluted him in admiration. Tiger Swordsman and Xu Nuan were also ted as their lord disyed amicable and admirable techniques. Only Esen noticed what Leo was doing. She smirked and nudged Leo''s side with her elbow. "Geezer, how long can you hold?" Leo rolled his eyes and showed her two fingers. "Two? Two what? Two incense sticks? That''s short." Again, Leo rolled his eyes before he stared at her. Then, the back of his ears moved, revealing the fish-like gills. His voice came out from the gill holes, and a portion of the rainbow aura came out from his ears. "Two incense sticks, my ass. My record is two hundred years, damn brat. Don''t make me talk like this. It''s ufortable." Esen widened her eyes as she couldn''t sense Leo''s Qi, voice vibration technique, or telekinesis ability. She heard his voice as if he spoke normally. The others were also surprised, but they didn''t speak out. "What the?! What the hell is this technique, geezer?! Teach me!" "Grow some gills, then I''ll teach you." "G-Gills? What in the hell?" Esen frowned and jumped up and down behind Leo. Then, she noticed the source of his voice. Her expression gotplicated again as she secretly cursed Leo once again. ''Damn monster!'' . After passing through the inner city checkpoint, they found a new world. Instead of seeing a busy road and a wooden town full of people, they only found a series of long walls andrge manors behind them. Gao Yan, Tiger Swordsman, and Xu Nuan remained expressionless as they had seen many big manors before. Only Yao Qiqi and the girls were stunned by the scene. "Whoa." Curious, the girls jumped two meters high, peeking inside the walls. They noticed gardens and beautiful courtyards inside. "So beautiful!" Xu Nuan rushed toward them and grabbed Yao Qiqi. Then, she reprimanded the two tamer girls. "Stop jumping! These manors belong to the court officials and major n''s cultivators. You''ll get us in trouble!" "We''re sorry!" The girls stopped misbehaving. Xu Nuan let out a sigh of relief, hoping that the journey to the pce would be peaceful. But someone among them was bored. She let out a noise. "Nom-Nom Meow?" Cat had been following Leo like a pet dog for hours. She wore a thick cloak and a ck robe to hide her monster physique. However, she wore a chained choker, and the end of the chain was tied to Leo''s belt. Without the leash, Cat would have run off long ago. "MEOW! NOM-NOM MEOW!" Cat started toin. She sniffed and protested Leo. Leo turned around and pursed his lips. He inserted his Qi into the ring and ejected a dead caiman, which he had been keeping as backup food for the return trip. "Here''s your food. Stopining." "Meow <3" Cat''s human mouth was deformed and erged. She caught the dead thunder caiman with her mouth and swallowed it whole! "" Everybody in the party stared at Cat in disbelief. Thetter burped and let out a sigh of satisfaction before she poked Leo''s back. "Nom-Nom Meow?" Leo shook his head and continued walking toward the pce ahead. "No, Cat. The rest of the food is for tomorrow. If you eat it all, we won''t have anything to eat." "No Nom-Nom Meow?" "Cultivators DO eat food, Cat. Stop trying to coax me that the others don''t eat food." "Meow." Cat sucked her thumb and looked at Xu Nuan, showing her the innocent eyes. Unfortunately, Xu Nuan had already learned about her character. She didn''t fall for the cute eyes trick. "You heard him, Cat. Be patient. The pce should have prepared a banquet for us." "A banquet?" Leo and others were interested. "Yes, senior. At night before the tournament, the emperor always holds a banquet to wee all ns and sects. Most of the time, the disciples will stay in their rooms while elders like us join the banquet for political talks." "Eh?!" Gao Yan, Yao Qiqi, and the two girls were disappointed. They thought that they would get to attend a royal banquet. "Sorry, kids. The banquet is for the adults," Xu Nuanughed and patted Yao Qiqi''s head. Leo snickered and mimicked Xu Nuan''s action. He patted Esen''s head instead. "Sorry, brat. The banquet is for the adults." "Bastard geezer! I''m older than everybody here!" Esen screamed again. "But you''re here as a disciple. No talking back." "You" Esen clicked her tongue and crossed her arms. After being reminded of her role, she still couldn''t figure out how Leo would bypass the detection of the other cultivators. "They will find out soon." "They won''t." "Are you sure?" "Positive." Leo widely grinned. As a matter of fact, he looked forward to seeing everybody''s surprised face when he introduced Esen to the other contestants. "Before that, you should also suppress your cultivation base or strength a bit. Make it so that you''re a nascent soul like the kid and Gao Yan." "I don''t have a cultivation base. I''m a lich, not a cultivator." "And how do you use your power?" "I use my enemy''s blood and yin Qi." "" Leo had some concerns about Esen. For the moment, he gave her an order. "Don''t use your power. If possible, only use your external martial arts." "You mean, fists and kicks?" "Something like that." " Can I bite?" Esen widely grinned and revealed her four long fangs. Leo gave Esen a weird look, "Fine." . Walking further for another hour, everybody arrived at thest checkpoint of this city - the pce entrance. The pce gate was made from pure gold. It was even wider than the city entrance. Moreover, a battalion of 1,000 nascent soul cultivators in full te armor stood on the walls, staring at the people below. As Leo approached the checkpoint, a nascent soul cultivator in an eunuch robe jumped down from the wall. He bowed 90 degrees to Leo as if he had been expecting him. "Wee, Lord Florida Man. The emperor has been waiting for your arrival. Please follow me." "" Leo turned around to look at Xu Nuan as he was surprised. Then, he gazed at the Eunuch. "Lead the way, then. By the way, do we get a ce to rest for the night?" "Of course, sir. We always prepare the best courtyard for the tournament participants." "What about the banquet?" The eunuch flinched for a moment. His eyes gleamed, "Of course, we will hold a banquet at night, as usual, sir. But for now, please follow me." "Fine." Leo gestured for the others to follow him. The crowd nodded and was about to enter the pce. However, the gate guards raised their weapons, blocking their way to get in. "HEY!" Esen yelled at the guards, "We are together with him! Why can''t we get inside?!" The eunuch nced at Esen for a moment before he turned to Leo. As usual, he bowed again. "Until we verify that you are indeed Florida Man of the rumor, we cannot allow your people to enter the restricted area. Could you please inform them to wait, sir?" "This is unnecessary." "This is for our pce''s security, sir. In the past, many imposters tried to get in by impersonating famous cultivators. Most of the time, they chose to act as leaders of new sects or ns. In your case, we need to confirm your identity first. Once we recognize you, your group can enter the pce without the verification procedure the next time." "Fair enough." Leo shrugged and turned around. He gestured to Esen. "Protect everybody. I''m testing the water." Esen frowned for a moment before she caught the hint. Her expression turned solemn. "Leave some for me. Don''t eat them all." "I ain''t Hannibal Lector. I don''t eat people!" Not waiting for an answer or reaction, Leo turned around and followed the eunuch into the pce. He didn''t care if this might be a trap from the emperor''s side. . The eunuch brought Leo into the massive golden pce. They passed through the front pce, which had the same structures andyout as the Forbidden City in China. After entering the Forbidden City and reaching the inner pce, Leo came across another Forbidden City. However, the building materials were made of white spirit stones. Leo had the urge to touch the spirit stone pir nearby, but he was afraid that it might mutate. He pulled his hand back and kept up the pace with the eunuch. Entering the white Forbidden Pce, Leo walked into arge hall. Deep in the hall was a throne, where the emperor had been sitting and watching him. In the throne room, Yan Xiang''s top soldiers and experts from various ns stood on the sides, opening the center area for the neer to enter. Some of them didn''t bother hiding their killing intent. Among the crowd, Situ Bai and Ouyang Ke were there. However, Leo couldn''t see Tang Xuan. Yan Xiang waved his hand, ordering the eunuch to retreat. The eunuch nodded and withdrew from the area. "Come closer, Daoist Florida Man." "" Leo raised his head and walked on the red carpet until he reached the center of the room. He then greeted the emperor for the first time. "I''m Florida Man from Florida Domain. Hello, there, your majesty." Many eyes turned red as Leo didn''t kneel and he sounded rude. Still, Yan Xiang didn''t pursue the matter as he had other issues with him. "Well met, Florida Man. Let me get straight to the point since we don''t have much time." Yan Xiang leaned forward and released the aura of a quasi-immortal. "Swear allegiance to the Yan Empire, and we will forgive you for killing my son." Leo tilted his head, wondering what the emperor was cooking. He smirked, "No, thanks." " I see." Yan Xiang deeply sighed while Situ Bai and Ouyang Ke also brought out their talismans, preparing for an all-out attack. However, Yan Xiang had his own agendas and ns. He offered another proposal. "Let''s make a bet, Florida Man." "Yes? What bet?" "I''m hosting a tournament for young disciples tomorrow. I heard you''ve epted my invitation and brought your people here. How about we bet on our junior''s performance?" "Oh?" "If your junior wins the tournament, we will forgive you for killing the second prince, and we will acknowledge you as the new citizen of our empire. But if you lose" Yan Xiang red into Leo''s eyes. His voice changed. "You will be expelled from our country, and you cannot establish a new cult, n, sect, or store ever again. Even if you stay, we will emunicate you and order all cultivators of our country not to patronize you." "Hah?!" "We know that you''re strong, Immortal Florida Man. It''s impossible for us to kill or harm you. But that doesn''t mean you can bully us forever." "" "How about it? Will you ept our challenge? Sir Immortal?" Leo finally understood Yan Xiang''s intention. It seemed that the emperor was smarter than the thieves and cultivators who raided his store. Since the emperor wanted to y it safe, Leo was happy to oblige. After all, he wanted to harvest their lifespan, not murdering everybody here in vain. "Alright. Let''s do it." Chapter 159 Florida Man Identified As Disabled Joins Paralympic Games, Breaks Every World Record ? Chapter 159 C Florida Man Identified as Disabled Joins Paralympic Games, Breaks Every World Record. RUMBLE As Cat, Taxi, and Ricardo reverted to their original form, their aura exploded. The eerie and ominous yin Qi made the air chilly. Combined with their killing intent, their res stirred every string of Qi around the arena, causing all cultivators'' dantians to churn. Meanwhile, Cat exuded the air of an 8th-stage monster. She was a tier weaker than the unicorn and the nightmare, but she was capable of holding her own weight. Tang Xuan and his people silently observed Leo''s group and wryly smiled. He ordered Tang Tian and other elders to be silent. On the other hand, Yan Zhu flinched as he instantly recognized the strength of Taxi and Ricardo. Both horses were 9th-stage monster beasts, and their strength was on par with real immortals! "MONSTER BEASTS?!" The spectators panicked. As the average strength of spectators was a measly nascent soul stage, aka the 5th stage, their presence and strength were akin to an insect in front of the three predators. Yan Xiang leaped from his throne andnded on top of the boulder of verification. He red at the monsters and Leo. "Do you realize what you are doing, Immortal Florida Man?! This is apetition between juniors. Why are you bringing those monsters along?!" Leo lightly scoffed. He pointed his thumb at Yao Qiqi and the two tamer girls from the Amazonian Sanctuary. "You told us to introduce our juniors, so here they are. They will participate in this tournament or game or whatever this mental Paralympics is." Yan Xiang nced at the monsters and yelled at Leo, "ording to the rules, only HUMAN CULTIVATORS with the BONE AGE under 18 can participate in this tournament! No monsters allowed!" Leo smirked. Then, he winked at Xu Nuan, "You exin." Xu Nuan realized that it was her time to shine. She stepped forward and saluted Yan Xiang, pretending to be polite. "Let me exin, Your Majesty. Indeed, ording to the agreements and rules, only cultivators can join this event. However, beast and monster tamers are an exception. Do you remember the special rules?" "" Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes as he had seen Xu Nuan''s face somewhere before, but he couldn''t remember. Qi Niu, who had been clinging to Yan Zhu''s side, mocked Xu Nuan to remind him of Xu Nuan''s origin. "Old hag Xu, you know nothing! The rules only allow the Amazonian Sanctuary''s representatives to bring one monster or beast per person! It doesn''t include you, traitors!" Xu Nuan looked up. Her eyes met with the former disciple''s. She remained expressionless as shemented. "s, Qi Niu. We did everything we could so that none of you would end up as someone''s toys or ves. It seems that we were wrong." "That''s right! You were wrong, old hag! Look at me!" Qi Niuughed and flexed her status. As a royal consort, she obtained new dresses, artifacts, and cultivation resources from Yan Zhu. Her cultivation base improved by leaps and bounds. "Indeed. Even though your cultivation aptitude is downright garbage, you sessfully be a prince''s toilet. I didn''t know that you wished to be a prostitute that badly. Had I known you better, I would have sold you to a brothel and realized your dream earlier." "WHAT?!" "My sincere apologies, Qi Niu. Indeed, we are inferior to you, sex-craved gold-digging slut youngdy. We can''tpare our sexual experience to you, who have experienced so many golden schlongs. In fact, we aren''t qualified to have a conversation with you, whose belly has been prated by god-know-how-many men." "XU NUAN!!" Qi Niu was enraged. Her face reddened, and her nose bleed from anger and blood pressure. While the womenunched a firework, Leo inwardly gave Xu Nuan a thumbs up as she colorfully silenced the annoying wench on the flying ship. Still, they hadn''t solved their primary issue. As Yan Xiang was the host, he could change the rules anytime. Their scheme might fail. Yan Xiang raised his hand and looked at Yan Zhu. Thetter nodded and pulled his wife away. After Qi Niu stopped making noise, Yan Xiang did exactly what Leo had predicted. "As she said, woman. Amazonian Sanctuary cultivated beast tamers, not a fighter. That was why we allowed their representatives to bring their pets here to fight in their stead. However, you do not have the same luxury since you aren''t from a tamer-oriented sect or n." Leo snorted, "Even though three of them are from the sanctuary?" "No exception. Only human cultivators can participate in this event. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. If you don''t have five participants, your group will be disqualified from entering this event, thus losing the bed by default." "Hohoh? Is that how you are going to y?" One after another, Yan Xiang kept using underhanded tricks to suppress Leo. Leo''s eye color changed from green to red. Since Yan Xiang shamelessly tried to cheat his way to victory, he stopped ying nice. "Five representatives, is it?" Leo''s eyes shifted toward Esen. He then ejected a dozen barrels of tea from his spatial ring. "Esen." "Yeah?" "Could you go and fetch us the REMAINING representatives that are still DEAD sleeping?" "Remaining representatives? Aren''t we Ohoh?" "Yeah. Your FRIENDS from your HOMETOWN are still sleeping like CORPSES, right? Why don''t you go and RESURRECT them? Oh, don''t forget to drown them with TEA so that they can feel ALIVE again!" Esen might be loud and obnoxious most of the time, but she was still a former empress, who used to govern the world. She instantly caught on the hint. "Yeah, I remember them. I''m still carrying their gears in my storage rings. I''ll be right back. Oh, I''ll take those too." Esen collected the barrels of tea and flew back to the abandoned courtyard. After Esen had left, Leo crossed his arms and faced Yan Xiang. "As you wish, she will bring the contestants here shortly. You don''t mind waiting an hour or two for my guys to arrive, right?" Yan Xiang frowned and nced at the departing girl. For some reason, he couldn''t measure Esen''s cultivation base. But since Esen could fly, Yan Xiang guessed that her strength might be at the 3rd or 4th stage at best. After all, she didn''t look old. Yan Zhu also secretly ogled Esen. As Esen was a pretty blond high-elf, her beauty was unique and otherworldly. Her face, her wless smooth skin, and and her silky hair made Esen a lot more attractive than Qi Niu. He wanted her. While Yan Xiang contemted what he should do in this situation, Yan Zhu came up with an idea. "Father!" "What?" Yan Xiang looked at his third son on the flying ship. "Let''s add a new wager. Since Immortal Florida Man dys the event, we need somepensation." "Compensation?" Yan Xiang raised his eyebrow. He had no idea what his son was cooking, "Whatpensation?" Yan Zhu''s voice was so crisp that everybody could hear it. "We can allow Immortal Florida Man to take the verification testter. But since he made us wait, we will impose a penalty for his group. Of course, we will not do anything to him. But we will add a new wager on top of the previous agreement." Yan Xiang''s face turned dark. As he knew the behavior of his lecherous son, he knew what Yan Zhu might ask for, "What is the wager?" Yan Zhu pointed at the girls behind Leo. "They were from the Amazonian Sanctuary, right? ording to my concubine, they are the traitors of their sect. Therefore, it is our duty to uphold justice when the members of the Jianghu Alliance request our aid. We will imprison those women, including the girl that has just left." "Hmm." Overheard the conversation, Leo raised his eyebrow, bewildered by Yan Zhu''s dumb logic. Xu Nuan red at Yan Zhu in anger while Yao Qiqi and the girls panicked. As for Taxi, Ricardo, Gao Yan, and Tiger Swordsman, they were enraged. "Isn''t that a bit overbearing, boy?" Leo sarcasticallyughed. Yan Zhu sneered, "I didn''t say that we would imprison everybody right away. I said that we would add this condition to the wager. Therefore, we will only arrest those girls if your side loses. Of course, if you win, your crime will be pardoned." "I see. Is that how you''re going to y it?" Leo deeply inhaled, suppressing the urge to nuke this city to oblivion. He had a thousand ideas on how to murder Yan Zhu as painfully as possible. But for now, he needed to teach these arrogant people a lesson. "Well, since you set the rules, make sure you y by the book, sir. By the way, since my juniors will take a while, why don''t you show us how your representatives verify your age with that boulder?" "Hahahahaha! Sure!" Yan Zhu and Qi Niu jumped down from the flying ship. Three men in silver armor also leaped onto the stage while holding the banners of the Yan n. The third prince introduced himself. He cupped his fist and saluted every spectator, except Leo''s group. "Greetings, fellow Daoists! My name is Yan Zhu, and I''m 17 this year! I''ll be joining this season''s event as the Yan n''s representative!" . "Huh?" Xu Nuan, Tang Xuan, Tang Tian, and bystanders from neutral ns and sects were confused. As they had interacted with Yan Zhu in the past, they were aware of Yan Zhu''s real age. It was definitely not 17! He was over 150 years old! While the spectators from the neutral faction looked perplexed, the aplices from the Jianghu Alliance either pped or praised the third prince. "The prince is very talented. He is only 17, but his aura is very domineering!" "What is his cultivation base now? Is it the soul transformation stage?" "17 years old at the soul transformation stage?! The imperial family is really blessed! Hahahaha!" Some of them sounded sarcastic, but nobody pointed out the irregrity of the age and Yan Zhu''s cultivation base. Meanwhile, Yao Qiqi and Gao Yan were terrified. They thought that they were the chosen ones as they managed to reach the nascent soul stage at a young age. Unfortunately, someone appeared and dered that they were more talented than them. Xu Nuan noticed their dark expressions. She patted them and whispered. "Don''t believe in them. Those liars are making things up. That third prince''s real age is 150 or so. It seems that the tournament is rigged." "W-What? It''s rigged?!" "Precisely so. Lord Florida Man already told us what happened. Yan Xiang is trying to suppress Lord Florida Man and expel him from the continent. They''re using the tournament and the wager contract as a tool to trap him." "W-Will we be okay?" "I don''t know." Xu Nuan couldn''te up with the right words to soothe Yao Qiqi and Gao Yan. She gazed at Leo, trying to guess what he had been scheming or thinking. . While Xu Nuan and others spected what Leo would do in this situation, Yan Zhu patted Qi Niu''s back, ordering her to hit the verification boulder. "You first." "Alright, husband." Because of Yan Zhu''s help, Qi Niu managed to advance to the golden core stage. Among her peers, she was considered a genius. But when everybodypared her to the old men here, she looked cute. Yan Zhu brought her along so that she could earn some reputation from the seniors of the Jianghu Alliance. Also, this would be her debut appearance as his official concubine. Qi Niu mustered her earth element Qi into her fist. Then, she punched the boulder. BOOM The boulder shone. Then, words appeared on the t surface as the artifact confirmed Qi Niu''s age and her cultivation base. . Name: Qi Niu Age: 16 Cultivation Base: 3rd-Rank Golden Core Stage[1] Power Output: 1st-Rank Golden Core Stage . The court officials and members from the Jianghu Alliance nodded in approval. Although Qi Niu was a lot weaker than their disguised elders, her achievement was eptable. "Good! Next!" Yan Zhu let his three subordinates hit the boulder. All of them were war veterans who had drunk enough tea of rejuvenation. BOOM . Name: Ou Jang Age: 14 Cultivation Base: 7th-Rank Soul Transformation Stage Power Output: 5th-Rank Soul Transformation Stage . As soon as the result appeared, the aplices grinned while the people from the Tang n smacked their lips in disgust. The person was obviously cheating. It was impossible for a 14-year-old boy to be 1.8 meters tall and reach this cultivation rank! The next two soldiers hit the boulder as well. Like the first soldier, the result showed up as a 15-year-old boy having the cultivation base of a soul transformation. Then, it was Yan Zhu''s turn. BOOM . Name: Yan Zhu Age: 16 Cultivation Base: 9th-Rank Soul Transformation Stage Power Output: 9th-Rank Soul Transformation Stage . Yan Zhu burst intoughter while his aplices chuckled. It seemed that Yan Zhu drank too much tea that his bone age regressed too much. After Yan Zhu''s team finished their turns, Yan Xiang called other groups over. "Next, the Ouyang n! Show everybody how far you cultivated your juniors!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" . . An hourter, all seven teams of participants finished their turn, except for Leo''s team. Tiger Swordsman, Xu Nuan, and Leo''s expressions were dark. Except for Qi Niu, all participants were soul transformation stage cultivators. "What a shameless bunch," Xu Nuan grumbled. "These people are despicable, Lord Florida Man! We should void the wagers and go back. There''s no pointpeting with these cheaters," Tiger Swordsman was disappointed in Yan Zhu and the Jianghu Alliance''s immaturity. He was disillusioned. Leo remained silent. He stroked his braided beard, waiting for Esen to finish her preparation. Unfortunately, Yan Xiang didn''t want to wait. He shouted,manding Leo to bring his team forward. "It''s your turn, Immortal Florida Man! If you fail to present five contestants for this event, your team will be disqualified!" "" Leo deeply sighed. He nced at Gao Yan. "You go first." Gao Yan trembled in fear, "R-Really? Me? Against all those 7th-stage cultivators?" "Yeah, you. Go and get this over with." "B-But I-I-I might die!" "You won''t. Trust me." "" Gao Yan reluctantly got on the stage. He dragged his feet and looked back at Leo several times before he gave up resisting. Facing the boulder, Gao Yan mustered his courage. He closed his eyes as the memory of his past shed before his eyes. After the short shback moment, Gao Yan''s aura soared. RUMBLE Instead of exuding the air of a nascent soul cultivator, his Qi volume surpassed that of a soul formation cultivator! Then, he threw a punch. BOOM The result came out. . Name: Gao Yan Age: 16 Cultivation Base: 1st-Rank Nascent Soul Stage Power Output: 5th-Rank Soul Formation Stage . As soon as the result appeared, Yan Zhu, Yan Xiang, and the people of Jianghu Alliance changed their expressions. They looked at Gao Yan in disbelief. "I-Is he really 16?!" "H-He is legit, right?" "That that''s a real talent. He''s the true gem!" Hesitant appeared in the aplices'' eyes as they coveted Gao Yan. They secretly schemed in their mind, hoping to poach Gao Yan from Leo after this event. "NEXT!" Yan Xiang swallowed his astonishment. He pressed on, trying to push Leo to send weaker juniors to fight. Leo pursed his lips. He looked at Yao Qiqi for a moment. However, he immediately changed his mind. Yao Qiqi was too young. As she couldn''t use Cat inbat, the fight might be too risky for her. Leo couldn''t use Cat either as Yan Xiang forbade him from using any monster beast. "Immortal Florida Man, your next representative?" "" Leo slightly opened his mouth and was about to order one of the tamers to jump on the stage. However, his sharp nose caught a mixed scent of Esen and a group of strangers with a simr odor. A wide smile appeared on his face. "They''re here." "Hmm?" As soon as Leo finished his sentence, Esen descended andnded on the stage. Following her, two girls and one boy also arrived. The boy came with a set of worn-out purple knight armor, carrying a massive bastard sword on his back as if he were inspired by a certain famous manga series. Meanwhile, one of the girls only had a tattered ck robe and wielded a long cane. As for thest girl, she wore a ck gothic dress. Strangely, they had silver hair, and they wrapped a piece of cloth around their eyes. Esen turned around and winked at Leo. She reported her achievement. "As you ordered, I "resurrected" them and "feed" them those." Leo let out a long sigh of relief, "Well, done. Now, show them how it''s done." "Alright!" Esen cackled and patted the cane girl, "You first. Go, Ivy." Ivy, the new girl, smiled at Esen and courteously bowed, "Yes, Your Holiness." She looked up and walked toward the boulder. Then, she lightly jabbed it with the back of her fist. BOOOOOM! The boulder got pushed back five meters! A small crack appeared on its surface. Then, the result appeared. . Name: Ivy Archlich Age: 17 Cultivation Base: 9th-Rank Quasi-Immortal Stage Power Output: 1st-Rank Earth Celestial Stage [1] Cultivation Base is graded in 8 major realms. Each realm has 9 minor ranks. The grades are as follows; 1st Stage - Muscle Tempering Stage 2nd Stage - Qi Condensation Stage 3rd Stage - Foundation Establishment Stage 4th Stage - Golden Core Stage 5th Stage - Nascent Soul Stage 6th Stage - Soul Formation Stage 7th Stage - Soul Transformation Stage 8th Stage - Quasi-Immortal Stage As for the minor ranks, it is graded from low to high. For example, the 1st-grade golden core cultivator is weaker than the 9th-grade golden core cultivator. Chapter 161 Florida Man Wins Lottery, Receives Gold Digging Catfisher As Prize ? Chapter 161 C Florida Man Wins Lottery, Receives Gold Digging Catfisher as Prize. Yan Xiang, Yan Luo, Yan Zhu, Situ Bai, and Ouyang Ke''s faces were as white as a sheet. They were horrified by the presence of Esen''s subordinates. Moreover, the boulder of verification was known for its durability. Their ancestors once praised that it could withstand a heaven celestial stage immortal''s strike. However, Esen and Beatrice easily destroyed it. It was a clear indication that both women were at least at the heaven celestial stage immortal, aka the 3rd level immortal! Realizing his mistake, Yan Xiang regretted that he chose to provoke Leo. He turned around to look at Tang Xuan. The former patriarch of the Tang n deeply sighed and silently saluted Yan Xiang. He prayed for the emperor''s fate and future. Tang Xuan believed he did everything he could, but Yan Xiang ended up seeking demise. Tang Xuan looked away from Yan Xiang and gazed at Leo, hoping that thetter would not lump him together with the Yan Family and their entourage. ''I hope Daoist Florida Man will spare my n after this. I already did everything I could.'' . . Esen puffed her chest and strode back in tion. When she was about to walk past Leo, thetter raised his hand. Esen noticed it and instinctively high-fived him even though she had never done it before C Everything came from a muscle memory, which she inherited from Leo''s blood. "Well done." "Of course. I''m an empress for a reason." The five representatives on Leo''s side all gathered. Esen, Beatrice, Marc, Ivy, and Gao Yan were ready for the next event. Yan Xiang''s face was still pale. His previously arrogant demeanor vanished. Still, he waved his hand and swept away rocks and debris on the arena stage with his Qi. After the stage was clean, Yan Xiang stood still for a minute. Once his breathing pace returned to normal, he announced. "All eight teams have been qualified. The preliminary round is over. Now, we will introduce the tournament bracket and the rules." Yan Xiang snapped his fingers. Situ Bai and Ouyang Ke pulled out white talismans and tossed them into the air. The talismans floated and formed a square array, acting as a projecting monitor. Like a real TV screen, it showed five empty tournament brackets. Each bracket consisted of eight participants. Yan Xiang exined, "This will be the main theme of this season''s tournament. All teams will send one of their members to participate in each bracket. The winners of each bracket will be the finalists, and they will fight in a free-for-allbat in the final." Leo and Esen nodded as it sounded fair. However, Gao Yan sweated profusely. By these rules, Gao Yan might have to duel against a 7th-stage cultivator at least once. As he was still at the 5th stage, Gao Yan was not confident that he could win. Gao Yan turned to Leo, asking for permission, "S-Senior. Can I forfeit before I go up on the stage?" Leo rolled his eyes, "Did you forget the gun and the lightsaber?" "B-But I don''t know any nascent soul techniques or special moves!" "Just go out there and shoot your opponent. If you miss, just swing your lightsaber. The force will guide you." "Force?" "Use the force, young Padawan. Size matters not." "But my techniques" "Shut it and be confident in yourself. I heard you have been practicing the Sword Saint''s techniques for years. Do you think your hard work means nothing?" "But the strength gap" "Even ants can take down an elephant. You aren''t alone. Isn''t Thora a part of your strength? She''s with you the whole time!" "" Gao Yan finally remembered that he had a sentient dao avatar as his daopanion. As a dao avatar, she was considered as Gao Yan''s power. Therefore, she could help him duringbat. Behind Gao Yan, Thora had been following her boyfriend since the beginning of the journey. Except for Leo, Esen, and Esen''s new subordinates, only a cultivator stronger than soul transformation could see her. Yan Xiang and others long noticed Thora''s presence. However, they disregarded her as they mistook her as amon dao avatar, which sometimes came out from their master''s body. It was a normal urrence, and every nascent soul cultivator had one. Thora gave Leo a thumbs up. Then, she embraced Gao Yan from behind. ''Be confident, husband. You are stronger than you think. We can defeat those trashy cultivators.'' "" Hearing his girlfriend''s encouragement, Gao Yan''s hope was ignited. He no longer sulked. "I''ll try my best." Leo snickered, "You will surely do your best. You''re a main character after all." "Main character?" "Never mind that." "???" Although Leo wasn''t 100% certain, from his point of view, Gao Yan appeared to have the qualifications of a main character. He had an abnormal amount of Qi and strength surpassing his actual cultivation base. He had a unique girlfriend, who acted as Gao Yan''s mentor and bodyguard. He was a hardworking kid with a humble background. Moreover, he was on a lucky streaktely after Leo had met him. It was a wild guess, but Leo believed he was right. While Leo and Gao Yan chatted, Yan Xiang began calling the representatives to get on the stage to draw the lottery tickets, deciding which bracket they would be in. "Immortal Florida Man. Could your teame up and draw a lottery ticket for your representatives?" Leo shrugged and gestured for Esen and others to finish this farce. Esen and her three subordinates leisurely leaped to the stage and stood along with the other contestants. Gao Yan was thest to arrive. Yan Xiang exined, "Each team will send their representative to draw a lottery. All five of you will be on a different bracket by default." The emperor gestured his one of his team members to be the example. The person was a 14-year-old soul transformation cultivator. Thetter walked up to his emperor. A cubic box appeared out of thin air. It came with a circle hole on top, which allowed any adult man to put his hand inside. It floated toward the boy''s chest. Not thinking much, the cultivator inserted his hand into the box and found eight iron balls. He picked one up and showed it to the crowd. It showed the Chinese number "8". The boy passed the iron ball to Yan Xiang. Thetter summoned another box and put the ball inside. Afterward, the cultivator''s name automatically appeared on the first bracket. After the soul transformation cultivator showed them how it was done, Yan Xiang borated. "Now that the imperial court''s team has sent the first representative, their four remaining participants will wait until the first bracket is full. Then, we will move on to the second bracket. But before that, every team has to send one person to enter the first bracket." The rules were simple and easy to understand. Every team could choose which contestant to send in a certain bracket. However, it came with a nasty scheme as Yan Xiang immediately called out Leo''s team. "Immortal Florida Man. Please select your representative to enter the first bracket. Who will you choose?" Leo and Esen knitted their brows as they sensed something amiss. Although the call seemed random, it hid a certain tactic that they could see. Testing the water, Leo ordered Ivy to go first. "Ivy. You''re up." "Yes, Holy One." Ivy, who wore the spare robes of a tamer girl, walked toward the box and picked an iron ball from the inside. The number was 7. The imperial agent''s face instantly turned dark. Hemented to his fate. Ivy''s name appeared on the first bracket. Her opponent was none other than the fake 14-year-old boy. The other teams secretlyughed at Yan Zhu. One by one, they sent their men to pick their lotto. After the first bracket was filled, it was time for the second bracket. Then, Yan Xiang subtly revealed his nasty scheme. "Immortal Florida Man. Could you please?" "" Leo slightly nodded. With just this call, Leo was 50% sure that the tournament was half-rigged. It seemed that they were targeting something. "Marc, you''re up next." The white-haired boy innocently smiled, "Yes, Holy One!" He went up and picked the number "1". While Marc drew the lotto ball, Leo scanned everybody''s reactions and expressions. By observing other people, he noticed one thing inmon. Their throats vibrated, and they secretly nced at each other. "Vibrating throats?" Leo narrowed his eyes. Esen also noticed it. She whispered, "Voice transmission techniques. They secretly talk to each other with a Qi frequency trick. If you adjust your ears a little, you can eavesdrop on their conversation." "Oh?" Leo slightly grinned and concentrated. His cancer cells adjusted his gills and ears. Then, Leo began to hear strange noises of mixed radio frequencies. The sounds of people became more audible. ''The boy is not our target. Send another dummy.'' ''Should we send mid-horse this time? He seems weak.'' ''Don''t underestimate that white-haired boy. I saw him pierce through the verification boulder with his finger. He''s a lot stronger than Gao Yan. We''ll send another low-tier horse as nned.'' ''Dodge that boy. Send another weak pawn.'' As Leo was new to this technique, he could only hear the voices from the crowd, which had a lower cultivation base. As for the soul transformation cultivators, Leo couldn''t hear them yet. However, the information was enough for Leo to figure out their n. "I guess Gao Yan is in danger." Esen nodded, "Indeed, he is. I''m sure they will send their strongest fighter to join the same bracket as Gao Yan''s. Should we order him to forfeit the matches?" "No. We''ll let him struggle a bit. We have necromancers on our side. If things go south, we can resurrect him, right?" "We can, but he will lose his status as a cultivator. By the way, do you have some healing pills for emergencies?" "I do. Don''t worry." "Okay, then. Let''s sit back and watch the show." . . The lottery pull continued. After Marc, Yan Xiang ordered Leo to pick a fighter first. Leo sent Beatrice to join the third bracket. Then, he and Esen eavesdropped their conversation. Again, everybody chose to send their remaining weakest cultivator to face Beatrice. But strangely, Yan Xiang''s team still kept Qi Niu and Yan Zhu in their team. Next, it was the fourth bracket. As Leo already figured out Yan Xiang''s n, he boldly sent Gao Yan up. As Leo and Esen had predicted, everybody got noisy. They urged their teams to dispatch the strongest fighter to join the 4th tournament bracket. Gao Yan got the lucky number "7". The draw became a scramble. Yan Xiang''s agents and alliespeted with each other to draw the lotto next. They even loudly prayed for a certain number. Surprisingly, Yan Xiang sent Yan Zhu to join this bracket. "Let me get that eight!" "No, mine!" "Me! He''s mine!" But in the end, a 9th-rank soul transformation cultivator from the Situ n got the 8th ball. He would face Gao Yan. Everybody on Yan Xiang''s side silently rejoiced. Their eyes gleamed, eager to see the demise of Gao Yan even though he had done nothing wrong. Everybody disregarded thest bracket. Esen snorted and proceeded to finish this farce. She drew the number 1 and got down from the stage. The remaining representatives lifelessly finished their tasks. Qi Niu, the weakest link among the bunch, got the short straw as she picked up number 2. Qi Niu trembled as she sneaked nces at Esen. She then rushed to Yan Zhu. "Husband! Can I forfeit the match? I can''t possibly defeat that woman!" Yan Zhu was still over the moon as he was in the same bracket as Gao Yan. He looked forward to the fight to the point that he disregarded Qi Niu''s wellbeing. "Don''t worry about it, Niu''er. We told them that the fight was a non-lethal one. That immortal won''t kill you. If she does, it will ruin her reputation and her future. There''s an unspoken rule among cultivators that no senior should harm or kill a junior no matter the reason. If someone vites this, the other seniors from the higher realm will hunt him down!" "B-But we did kill a bunch ofmoners and weak cultivators." "That unspoken rules don''t apply to people with backgrounds. Those peasants can rot and die for all we care!" "" Qi Niu felt a bit better. However, her heart still beat like death metal drums as she couldn''t get rid of a bad feeling in her chest. She didn''t realize that Esen secretly nced at her. Moreover, under Qi Niu''s foot, a purple shadow slipped into her shadow and coiled around her left ankle. Chapter 162 Florida Man Sued Doctor For Prescribing Antibiotics Instead Of Heroin ? Chapter 162 C Florida Man Sued Doctor for Prescribing Antibiotics Instead of Heroin Every participant''s tournament bracket and opponents were decided. Yan Xiang then waved his hand. Then, four additional arena stages were elevated from the ground. Yan Xiang then reminded everybody of the purpose of this tournament. "Remember, this tournament exists for the disciples and juniors to spar and gain experience. Purposely crippling or severely injuring your opponents is strictly forbidden. idents may happen, but you should not fight to kill your opponent no matter what!" The spectators had aplicated expressions on their faces. It was obvious that Yan Xiang said this to restrain Leo''s overpowered immortals from abusing their power. Leo scoffed, "Likewise. I hope there won''t be any more dirty tricks. Otherwise" "" Intimidated, Yan Xiang''s hands trembled. Still, he didn''t give up on his n. Unbeknownst to Leo, when Yan Xiang created the tforms, he inserted some talismans underneath. Those talismans would activate whenever Yan Xiang wanted to, and their effects varied, depending on the chosen talisman. The emperor continued exining to hide his anxiousness. "The match is decided when a fighter gives up, falls off the stage, or is unable to continue fighting. As we said before, killing your opponent is strictly forbidden. If someone kills their opponent, the murderer will be instantly disqualified and arrested for murder! No exception!" Leo snorted as he didn''t n on killing anybody yet. He looked at his juniors and warned them, "Don''t kill. Leave them alive." Esen pouted, "Why should we? They''re ying dirty." "We can get themter. We can y by their rules for the time being. If they break the rules first, we unalive them." "Fair enough." Yan Xiang didn''t waste time. He called the contestants to the stages before Leo could find fault with him. "Participant number one and two of all brackets, you may step on the stage!" Everybody stepped down from the main stage while the fighters looked confused at first. But when they found their tournament stage, they leaped to their arena. Marc got on the first arena''s stage while Esen jumped on the arena number five. As for the others, they observed their opponents and cheered for their allies. Marc''s opponent was a soul transformation cultivator. He was 6''2 tall, and his muscle was a lot bulkier. Moreover, he grew a full beard. No matter how everybody looked at him, he didn''t look like someone under 20 years old. "First match! Marc Duhan of Florida Domain versus He Man from Mount He Sect!" The referee announced the name of the contestants and gave the signal, "FIGHT!" The muscr cultivator bellowed and summoned two dao avatars. One was an elderly man with bodybuilder-like muscles while the other was a bald barbarian with two great axes. The bodybuilder avatar merged with He Man while the ax wielder avatar manifested its physical body. Marc ignored the dao avatars. He slowly pulled the bastard sword from his back and dropped it to the floor. He adjusted his blindfold while he strolled toward his opponent. He Man seized the opportunity. He transformed all his muscles into steel and threw a punch at the boy. At the same time, the giant ax wielder avatar swung its battleaxe, aiming at Marc''s head. As if Marc used Situ Nantian''s footwork technique, he vanished and reappeared on the right side of He Man. Moreover, the bastard sword that Marc had left on the floor teleported to his hand. WHOOSH! Marc gently swung the bastard sword, but it stopped one centimeter away from He Man''s neck. The muscle man sweated profusely. He couldn''t see the swing. By the time the sword stopped, it was already at his neck. "This is my defeat. I lose." The referee was also astonished. He stuttered, "W-W-Winner, Marc Duhan of Florida Domain!" Marc widely smiled and pulled his bastard sword back. He took a step back and saluted to He Man, "Good fight, sir." "Y-You too. G-Good fight." The innocent smile and Marc''s humility stunned He Man. For a moment, he forgot that Marc was an immortal who cheated his age. Had someone told him that Marc was really a boy, he would have believed them. Because of the innocent look, He Man was ashamed of his action. He inwardly cursed his sect master for colluding with Yan Xiang. He lowered his head and stepped down from the tform. When He Man returned to the other colleagues of the same sect, nobody med him for his defeat. On the other hand, they congratted him. "Good jobing back alive. That was close." "Surviving an immortal''s strike is already an achievement. Don''t be disappointed." He Man slightly nodded. Still, he couldn''t get rid of the guilt in his heart. He gazed at Marc, wondering if he was really a 12-year-old boy. "Hey, do you think the boy is really 12?" He Man asked his colleagues. "Of course not! He must have drunk tea of rejuvenation like us." "I see." He Man shook his head to forget the thought. . . Meanwhile, on the fifth tform, Esen and Qi Niu got on the stage, and the referee signaled the start of the match. Qi Niu gritted her teeth and pulled out her poison-coated daggers. On the other hand, Esen crossed her arms and stood still, waiting for Qi Niu to make the first move. Unlike the boys, Qi Niu and Esen didn''t bother about courtesy or manners. They remained silent, refusing to talk first. As Esen didn''t make the first move, Qi Niu got nervous. Thetter''s legs and arms trembled. From Qi Niu''s point of view, Esen''s smug smile had a strange vibe. She felt like her soul was being invaded. But in reality, Esen didn''t even try. She simply stared into Qi Niu''s soul, sizing up her potential and threat. But in the end, Qi Niu''s soul was corrupted. Her future growth was mediocre at best. "This is boring, yo." Esen was disappointed. She had hoped that Qi Niu would have been as talented as Gao Yan. "Come on,e at me, little wench. Here, I won''t defend!" "" Even though Esen gave up her pride and spoke first, Qi Niu didn''t move. Instead, Qi Niu took two steps back. As the opponent didn''t dare to move, Esen stopped ying nice. She took a step, but she instantly appeared in front of Qi Niu. "!!!" "Since you don''t move, it''s nom-nom time!" It was toote for Qi Niu to react. The lich empress opened her mouth and sunk her sharp fangs into her neck. CHOMP Esen bit Qi Niu''s neck. Like a vampire, she started sucking her blood. Qi Niu didn''t resist. She stood there, petrified from fear. But after Esen''s fangs entered her flesh, pleasure reced her fear. Esen didn''t prolong the bite. She let go of Qi Niu''s neck, and the girl copsed to the ground. The lich empress turned to the referee and pointed at the unconscious girl. "Result?" The referee came back to his senses. He announced, "W-Winner, from Florida Domain!" . . Yan Xiang watched how Esen and Marc made a quick work of his people. He deeply sighed, unable to let go of the vexing thoughts. He still couldn''t give up his pride. He totally forgot about why he wanted Leo dead. Revenge was no longer in the picture. It was about his pride. He simply wished to uphold his reputation and teach Leo a lesson. ''Just you wait, Florida Man!'' Yan Xiang crossed his arms behind his back, but his fingers moved. He secretly activated five talismans under each tform, but he suppressed its effect for the moment. . . Ivy and Beatrice got on their stages next. As soon as the girls came up, some neutral faction''s spectators whistled as they cheered for them. "Go, pretty girl! Show us what you can do!" "Hey, the weird girl with that ck dress! You are fine, baby!" Ivy and Beatrice ignored the jeers. They waited for their opponents on the stage. The fighters from Yan Xiang''s side got up the tform. Coincidentally, they were both from the imperial court. But before the referee allowed the fighters to start, Yan Xiang moved his fingers and activated two talismans under Ivy and Beatrice''s arena. Although the talismans were activated, nothing seemed to change. However, Ivy and Beatrice flinched as their skin was strangely itchy and hot. Both women had a bad feeling about the tforms. As soon as the referees started the matches, they rushed their opponents and kicked them out of the stages. The matches were decided in five seconds. Again, the crowd was astonished. Ivy and Beatrice didn''t wait for the referees to announce the result. They quickly got down from the stages and reported to Esen. "Your Holiness, something is wrong with the arena," reported Ivy. Beatrice silently pointed at her tournament stage and pointed at her arm. Esen and Leo were curious about what got into them. The former inspected Beatrice''s skin. Then, she understood what went wrong. Beatrice''s skin was slightly wrinkled. ck dots appeared on her skin as if they were moles. "Is it itchy?" Esen asked Ivy. "Yes, Your Holiness. It feels like I''m getting older." "You''re getting older?" Esen frowned and looked at the stages. However, she couldn''t detect anything strange. Meanwhile, Leo walked toward Ivy''s stage. He leaned over and grabbed on the ledge. As soon as he touched it, he got goosebumps. His cancer cells screamed and activated their power to resist the strange effects. Leo tilted his head in confusion for a moment. After keeping his hand on the stage for a few seconds, he noticed something. Some of his cancer cells got slightly older. The freshly new blood cells rapidly matured. Testing his hypothesis, Leo ejected a piece of half-eaten yin cabbage and threw it on the stage. However, nothing changed. "Odd." The hypothesis was wrong. Leo was even more confused. "It''s not the aging effect. Then, what is it?" Leo narrowed his eyes. Then, he looked at Yan Xiang. Yan Xiang also looked back at him. The former never hid the disdain in his eyes. "Oh, boy. Tricks after tricks. Schemes after schemes. Howe no one has taught them that absolute strength can crush any scheme and tactic?" Leo walked back to his team and warned them about his findings. He looked at Gao Yan, who hadn''t taken the stage yet. "That damn emperor is using another underhanded trick again. I think he has done something to the arenas." Esen also nodded as she managed to figure something from Ivy and Beatrice''s reactions. She voiced her opinion. "I think it''s something rted to time. Is it time ability?" Leo nced at the piece of cabbage. It still remained there to prove his point. "No. It''s not time. If it''s time, it would have affected his men, too." "Then, what did that emperor do?" "I have no idea." . . Looking at Leo''s reaction, Yan Xiang inwardlyughed. He disabled the two previously activated talismans. Then, he looked at Gao Yan''s arena next. ''It''s toote, Florida Man. Since your people abuse the tea of rejuvenation, I will expose your lies and crush you! It doesn''t matter how strong they are. As long as the tea''s effect is canceled, you will revert to the original self! Then, your true age will be noticeable by all!'' Yan Xiang''s talismans didn''t have the time eleration effect. Instead, they were pill toxin purification talismans, which weremonly used to remove impurities and pill toxins in a cultivator''s dantian. But in this case, Yan Xiang used them to remove the rejuvenating tea''s effects. As the talismans only affected the people on the stages, nobody but the contestants could detect them. Moreover, Yan Xiang only needed Leo''s people to stay on the stage for ten minutes topletely neutralize the tea''s effect. "Next match! Gao Yan from Florida Domain Versus Situ Dong!" While Yan Xiang mocked Leo in his mind, it was Gao Yan''s turn to fight. Yan Xiang threw everything to the back of his head. As Gao Yan was a legit junior, he paid extra attention to the boy. Gao Yan was their primary target. They needed to kill him first. The boy nervously got on the stage while his dao avatar followed after him. Yan Xiang instantly noticed Thora, but he ignored her. Gao Yan''s opponent, Situ Dong, got on the stage. He was a soul transformation cultivator from the Situ n. His physical age was 16, but his physique was the same as an adult with a big belly. Situ Dongughed at Gao Yan''s quirky demeanor. He also nced at Thora. "What a sissy. You''re a man, but your dao avatar is a woman. Do you want to be a woman that badly?" Mocked Situ Dong. Gao Yan''s expression changed. He stopped being nervous and pulled out his lightsaber. Then, he stared at Situ Dong. "Keep my daopanion out of your mouth, sir." Situ Dong burst intoughter, "Daopanion?! Did you sleep with your dao avatar or something?! Hahahahaha! Hey! If you want to do a woman, you should have gone to a brothel, not bedding yourself! FUAHAHAHAHA!!" "" Thora''s expression turned dark, but Gao Yan''s eyes reddened. "FIGHT!" Ignoring the contestants, the referee signaled the fight. Situ Dong took the initiative. As the opponent was a lowly nascent soul cultivator, Situ Dong looked down on Gao Yan. He merged one of his dao avatars with his physical body, transforming himself into a 10-meter-tall oak tree with a thousand long humanoid arms and sharp fingers. Not concerned about Gao Yan''s safety or life, Situ Dong threw a thousand long fists at him. Chapter 163 Florida Man’s Student Accidentally Gunned Martial Artist To Death During MMA Match ? Chapter 163 C Florida Man''s Student identally Gunned Martial Artist to Death during MMA Match "DIE!!" Situ Dong was certain of his victory. In terms of strength, nascent soul cultivators were the same as infants learning how to walk while soul transformation cultivators already mastered the dao avatar techniques. Crushing Gao Yan would be a walk in the park. Gao Yan gritted his teeth and activated his lightsaber. Meanwhile, Thora extended her arm forward, and a yellowish dome of lightning barrier appeared. BOOM The fists collided with the barrier. After ten punches, it shattered. The eleventh fist came for Gao Yan! Gao Yan no longer hesitated or thought of anything. His muscle memory took over as he swung the lightsaber like how Esen had taught him. The sci-fi sword, empowered by Leo''s essence stone, sliced through the dao avatar''s fist like butter. Situ Dong widened his eyes in shock as the damage to his dao avatar transferred to his real body. The cut from the gap between his left hand''s middle finger and ring finger extended to the bottom of his palm. His hand was almost cut in half! Because of the cut, 500 fists of the dao avatar vanished. Moreover, Situ Dong lost the feeling in his left hand, and the meridians in his left arm were blocked by an unknown force. His entire left arm withered and thinned, reverting back to its original appearance. After losing half of his power, Situ pulled back his 500 fists. He took a step back and looked at this dao avatar in shock. "T-This cannot be! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Gao Yan was still in the zone. As he sessfully counterattacked with that cut, he took the initiative by pulling the pistol that Leo had given him. In the chamber was a sacred wood bullet. However, Gao Yan injected all his wood Qi into it, betting on everything in this attack. BANG Pulling the trigger, the pistol spat a brownser beam. At the tip of the beam, the sacred wood bullet pierced through Situ Dong''s chest. The bullet entered Situ Dong''s chest and crushed the center ribcage. It dug further, grazing his heart and lungs. It crushed the spinal cord because the bullet lost its momentum, getting stuck in Situ Dong''s flesh and bones. The attack didn''t stop there. As the sacred wood was empowered by Gao Yan''s wood Qi, the bullet transformed into a nt seed. It absorbed blood and Qi of Situ Dong to rapidly grow. Instantly, it emptied the host''s Qi and depleted his lifespan. Situ Dong vomited blood and bent slightly forward. Then, he copsed to the ground face-first. Gao Yan lowered his gun and deactivated the lightsaber. He slowly came back to his senses. When he realized that Situ Dong stopped breathing, he panicked. "I-I-I didn''t mean to!! I''m so sorry, senior!" Gao Yan rushed to Situ Dong and fed him an elixir grain pill that he got from Leo. Unfortunately, it wasn''t enough to resurrect the guy. The referee and Situ Bai leaped on the stage and checked Situ Dong''s pulse. They then looked at his soul for a moment. Then, they red at Gao Yan. The referee announced, "Situ Dong has been critically injured. He can no longer fight. The winner of this match is Gao Yan-" "HALT!" Situ Bai red at Gao Yan while he thrust his fingers into Situ Dong''s back. He pulled out the sprouted seed and bellowed. "Your Majesty! Please arrest this man in an instant. He''s using a hidden weapon in the tournament!" Yan Xiang frowned as he also wanted to use this opportunity to disqualify Leo''s team. However, there were too many eyes from the neutral factions and rogue cultivators among the spectators. He couldn''t tantly cheat or show favoritism at the moment. The emperor dered, "Weapons and artifacts are considered skills. Gao Yan didn''t break the rules." "But Your Majesty! Gao Yan killed his opponent!" "" Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes as if he could use this against Leo and Gao Yan. However, before the emperor could speak, Tang Xuan, who had been lurking in the crowd, suddenly used his Qi to amplify his voice. Tang Xuan''s voice vibrated through the arena and Cauliflower City. "If Gao Yan and his opponent have a simr strength, we can judge that Gao Yan has vited the rules, and his team will automatically be disqualified. However, Gao Yan''s opponent is two realms stronger than him. In this case, I think it''s an ident." "ident?! You call this an ident?!" Situ Bai yelled back. "Fists and kicks have no eyes. idents are bound to happen in sparring. In this case, Gao Yan can''t afford to hold back his strength because of his inferior cultivation base. Situ Dong should be at fault here for failing to react to thatst attack. Obviously, he looked down on his opponent, and he died because of hisck of judgment. I repeat, Gao Yan is not at fault for identally killing his opponent!" Tang Xuan nced at Leo, hoping that thetter could support his im, "Don''t you think so too? Immortal Florida Man?" Leo stroked his beard and looked at Situ Bai, "As he said, bozo. Your guy is indeed stronger than my boy, but he got squashed because of his stupidity. You can''t me my boy for giving it his all while your people purposely throw the match, do you?" "" The neutral faction''s people murmured as they agreed to this argument. From their point of view, Gao Yan barely reacted to the first attacks while Situ Dong miscalcted. Had Situ Dong not retreated, Gao Yan would never have had enough time to use his secret weapon. In short, it was Situ Dong''s fault for dying to the secret weapon. Yan Xiang looked around for a moment before he gave Gao Yan a meaningful look. He thought of the weapon that Yan Zhu had. Although Yan Xiang had enough reasons to disqualify Gao Yan, he had no choice but to pardon him in this case. After all, he needed to know how and where Gao Yan managed to get those artifacts. The emperor sent a voice transmission to Situ Bai. ''Leave him be. Instead, I want you to investigate that boy''s background. I want to know where he came from and how he got those artifacts and secret weapons.'' Situ Bai nodded. He coughed and retreated from the stage. "Fine. That was an ident. Continue the tournament!" "" . . After themotion, rogue cultivators among the spectators got excited. They whispered among themselves. "That Florida Domain is quite something. They''re backed by immortals for sure. Look at that lineup." "Obviously, those immortals are elders in disguise. Emperor Yan conspires against Immortal Florida Man first. And now, Immortal Florida Man uses the same trick as them. It''s karma, I say." "Well-deserved karma, actually. This event is supposed to be exclusive for the youngsters and rising stars. But look at those people from the Jianghu Alliance. They are trying to bully a newly found sect backed by immortals. Now, they''re paying the price." "I wonder if I can join the Florida Domain. Do they ept new disciples?" "Those weapons, though. Did you see thest attack? That energy sword seems deadly, too!" After Gao Yan showed everybody his secret weapons, many rogue cultivators were interested in Leo''s domain. His reputation slowly rose. On the other hand, the imperial court faction was not happy. They gossiped, wondering what Yan Xiang was doing. "Why hasn''t the emperor arrested Gao Yan and disqualified Florida Man bastard? He could have done so, right?" "He could have, but that might give a reason for other cultivators to rebel. Some of the orthodox sects are not happy with His Majesty''s decision to embrace the unorthodox cultivators to the Jianghu Alliance." "Naturally, fiendish cultivators and orthodox cultivators will always be enemies. It''s because of those princes. Without those nasty princes and their cults, His Majesty would have been worshiped by all." "Stop gossiping your lord! If you have the energy, go and suppress those rumors about Florida Man!" Distrust and doubts filled the air as they started questioning Yan Xiang''s actions. Still, they waited to see the tournament unfold as the winner of this tournament would write a new history. Meanwhile, Tang Xuan and Tang Tian conversed. "Father, why are you openly supporting Florida Man? Are we rebelling now?" Tang Xuan stroked his beard. He gazed at Florida Man and confessed. "We will do everything in our power to support Florida Domain and Immortal Florida Man. Time for our n to recognize a new lord." "But why? Haven''t we served the Yan Empire for centuries? Why now?" "If Yan Xiang were a decisive emperor, we would have continued serving him. But since he''s been manipted by his reputation and seeking revenge for the vain revenge, his sand castle empire will soon copse. We have to jump ships now if we want to survive the turbulence." "" Tang Tian still hesitated. He thought of his old friends, disciples, and mentors. However, only the faces of Hua Jiashan and Dongfang Mei showed up as they were thest people to remain with him when he needed their help. Thinking of the Life Sword Sect and the Amazonian Sanctuary, Tang Tian gazed at Tiger Swordsman and Xu Nuan behind Leo. He then understood why his father chose Leo. "It''s their moral integrity, right?" "" Tang Xuan bitterly smiled as the answer was off the mark. It was the strength and influence of Leo that Tang Xuan respected. . . After Gao Yan''s match ended, the second round of the tournament started. Ivy got called to the stage first. Again, her opponent was a soul transformation cultivator from a major n. As soon as Ivy got on the stage, Yan Xiang activated his secret array underneath the tform. Ivy flinched as she could sense her skin and bones getting older. She nced at the referee to signal the match. However, the referee suddenly paused and turned around to look at the emperor. He purposely dyed the match! "Not good," Leo deeply frowned at Yan Xiang as he noticed Ivy''s dark expression. He rushed toward the stage and got closer. As soon as Leo got too close to the arena stage, his cancer cells screamed. His entire body got itchy as the rejuvenated cells and bones slowly lost their vigor. "START THE MATCH, REF!!" Leo pped the floor, yelling at the referee. However, the referee turned around and scolded Leo, "Noncontestant, please get away from the arena and stay in the permitted area! If you interfere with the match again, we will disqualify your team!" "" Leo red at Yan Xiang and the referee. He then checked Ivy''s condition with his eyes. Although Ivy''s skin and face still looked young, signs of aging were apparent. Soon, she might look like an old woman. ''Damn cheaters.'' Leo grumbled and looked at the bottom of the tform. He then sniffed like a dog, hoping to find an irregr scent. A few secondster, Leo noticed a weird scent. It smelled like the tea of rejuvenation. Leo had an idea what it was. However, as he couldn''t openly interfere with the arenas, he turned around and returned to his spectator area. He walked toward Cat, who was bored to death. "Cat. There are weird things underneath the arenas. Can you dig the ground in secret and fetch them for me? When we return, I''ll give you extra nom-nom." "NOM-NOM MEOW?!" Cat stopped being drowsy. She transformed into a humanoid dryad and stood in front of Leo with sparkling eyes. "Yes. Nom-Nom Buffet." "Meow <3" Cat widely grinned. While standing still, her roots prated into the ground. Silently, she curled her roots and made her way to the foundation of all five arenas. Chapter 165 Florida Man Broke Into Stranger’s House And Stole Garden Light Bulb ? Chapter 165 C Florida Man Broke into Stranger''s House and Stole Garden Light Bulb Gao Yan scratched his face. The fire slightly cooked his skin, but the damage wasn''t severe. Though, his hairstyle turned into an afro because of the burn. He felt nothing after he murdered Yan Zhu. After all, the third prince tried to kill him first. After Leo dealt with the emperor, the crowd dispersed in every direction. Gao Yan took this opportunity to steal Yan Zhu''s storage rings and his handmade pistol. He picked it up to get a closer look. As Gao Yan had seen Leo''s matchlock rifles, he was slightly familiar with the gun structures. Inspecting the gun, he realized its perks and its shorings. The weapon depended on essence stones as the muzzle and the structure was off. The hammer looked like a makeshift arbalest without a string, which was used to artificially ignite the essence stone bullet forward. Overall, the gun looked like a metal pipe attached to a handle. "What a lousy weapon." As Gao Yan was aware of the firearm''s firepower, he hated to see other cultivators using these godlike weapons. He clenched his fist and crushed the fake pistol. After turning Yan Zhu''s pistol into a metal scrap, Gao Yan turned around and walked toward Leo. However, thetter was busy chatting with Esen. Unable to interrupt the seniors, Gao Yan turned to Tiger Swordsman. He presented Yan Zhu''s storage rings to the elder. "Elder Tiger, I got these rings from the prince. Could you pass it to Lord Florida Man?" Tiger Swordsman was surprised that Gao Yan turned the items to him instead of keeping them to himself. "Did you rob those from the prince?" "Erm, yes." "Then, why don''t you keep them? You killed the prince, right? You can keep what you killed." "But, err," Gao Yan looked behind him. He scanned the empty arenas and the carnage. In the sky, a few cultivators still remained in the area, observing Leo and his team. Some rogue cultivators fixated on the corpses of Yan Xiang and Yan Luo as if they were vultures staring at their prey. Gao Yan might be cowardly and na?ve, but he wasn''t stupid. He just openly robbed the prince in front of the crowd. Therefore, some of the cultivators in the sky might have a bad idea about him. Moreover, he didn''t know if the rings stored something too precious that the other cultivators sought. Instead of keeping the treasures and wealth, he might as well contribute something to Leo so that he could get another form of reward. In the future, Should those cultivators capture and ask Gao Yan about the rings, he could just tell them that Leo had them. "I''m still too weak. Keeping something precious with me is like a child wearing a gold ne and waltzing into a slum area." Tiger Swordsman chuckled and smacked Gao Yan''s back, "You fool. Your weapons are definitely more precious than those rings. You have a weapon that can easily kill a soul formation cultivator and negate their dao avatar''s attacks. That alone warrants a bounty on your head. It''s toote, now." "Eh?!" "Seriously, if I were one of them, I would have memorized your face, too. You got a target on your back, boy." "" Gao Yan''s eyes were teary. He then turned around to look at Xu Nuan, Yao Qiqi, and others. The girls gathered around Gao Yan to soothe him. One of the tamer girls coyly hugged his arm. "Senior Brother Gao, you might not know, but the girls in the dorm have been talking about you. They said that you''re the hottest disciple of Florida Domain, you know?" "W-What?" "Lord Florida Man and Elder Wu Buyi favor you. You receive not one but TWO precious artifacts from Lord Florida Man! Everybody is calling you a golden bachelor!" "" "Say, do you have a girlfriend?" Thora immediately coughed and red at the tamer girl. Unfortunately, the tamer girl couldn''t see Thora. Only Yao Qiqi could see her. Yao Qiqi looked back and forth between Thora and Gao Yan. Then, she warned her sisters. "Senior Brother Gao Yan already has a girlfriend." "EH?!" The tamer girls were stunned for a moment. A few secondster, they squealed as they got a new scoop. "Who is his girlfriend?!" "Not telling." Yao Qiqiughed. "Boo!" The disciplesughed and cheered as the tension died down. Tiger Swordsman and Xu Nuan were also relieved as everything went well for their faction. The only thing that troubled them was the aftermath. Without Yan Xiang and his sons, the entire continent would bewless. Orthodox sects and unorthodox cults would break their peace treaty and start a new war. They wondered what Leo would do in this situation. . Leo stopped chatting with Esen. He turned around and ordered the crew. "Tiger, Xu Nuan, you two escort the boy and girls back to the bus. Cat, Ivy, Beatrice, Marc, you are the only capable fighters here. Protect them while they are on their way back and wait for me there." Tiger Swordsman nodded, "What about you, my lord?" "I and this brat are going shopping. The daddy wille homete. Wait for me at the bus." "Alright, my lord." Yao Qiqi blinked several times before she looked at Esen. She had a funny feeling about both Leo and Esen. "Lord Florida Man, if you''re the daddy, who''s the mommy?" "" Everybody but Leo instantly turned toward Esen. For some reason, both of them had a simr air, and they seemed close. Leo caught on to their weird look. He shut down their fantasies. "I ain''t dating her in this lifetime. She''s t like paper. What''s the point of licking a board? I want real milkers, not sunny-side eggs!" "YOU WHAT?!" Esen was offended. She red at Leo and kicked his leg. Again, she ended up hurting herself. "DAMMIT, YOU MONSTER!" Leo cackled and pressed his hand on her head, bullying her again even though she looked like a proper teenager. He leaped forward and vanished into the city. Esen screeched in anger. She flew and chased after Leo, wanting to get back at him. . . Leo and Esen arrived at Yan Xiang''s pce. As soon as theynded, they found a chaotic scene. A hundred eunuchs and servants were already corpses. Cultivators from unknown ns summoned their dao avatars and randomly attacked various buildings. Sounds of women''s screams came from everywhere. "Wow," Leo was astonished. "Don''t look away. You did this," Esen snickered and mocked Leo. "I guess even a crooked emperor can be a pir of a country." "This is more like a thief''s den. Without a leader, thieves fight among themselves for their loot. All cultivators are a bunch of thieves, scavengers, tomb robbers, and bandits. If you look at them carefully, you will realize that they are all jobless. Some of them are even homeless! Commoners work for food while cultivators only steal from others. Tell me which one is better." "That''s rude." "It''s a fact!" Leo stopped arguing with Esen. As nobody picked a fight with them, Leo rushed into the throne room where he had met Yan Xiang for the first time. From Leo''s memory, behind the throne room were usually the chambers of the emperor and their bodyguards. Sometimes, their concubines and children resided there for safety. If one wished to find something valuable from the emperor, one had to search the emperor''s bedroom first. Sprinting to the throne room, he came across more dead bodies. Most of them were the pce guards, who were all 6th-stage cultivators. A few soul formation cultivators and eunuchs also died here. The wounds of the corpses came from sword wounds. The cut was so clean that it looked like someone killed them with one attack. Leo had a bad feeling about this, but he proceeded forward. Esen also followed after him. The pceyout and structure were as Leo had predicted. Behind the throne room was a series of residential areas for Yan Xiang and his concubines. Small rooms within the pce were given to eunuchs, whose corpses were inside every room. As Leo kept proceeding further, he noticed a person in the Fatui Cult''s uniform carrying a woman on his shoulder. As the cultist turned around, his eyes met with Leo''s. "Ah, piger." For the sake of not wasting a bullet, Leo kicked the ground and instantly appeared in front of the cultist. "WHAT?!" The cultist was a soul transformation cultivator, who wasn''t present when Leo raided its HQ. He thought that he could sneak into the pce during the chaos and snatch some riches that Yan Xiang had left behind. But in the end, he only managed to secure a pretty concubine of Yan Xiang to be his wife. It was toote for the cultist to have a wife. As soon as Leo got in front of the hooded cultist, he kicked the guy to the nuts. CRACK Not only the balls were broken, the cultist''s pelvis was shattered to pieces. The impact was so severe that it dislocated the cultist''s spinal cord and crushed his innards. Unsatisfied with the light injuries, Leo gave him a love tap with a jab to the face. PLOP Like a shattering watermelon hit by a hammer, the cultist''s skull and head got sted to pieces. Pink and white flesh came out, sttering the hallway. The concubine girl fell from the cultist''s shoulder. She trembled and looked up in fright. Leo silently nced at her, "Go." "!!!" The woman tried to stand and run, but her legs gave in. She wet her skirt while she trembled in panic. Leo shook his head and squatted. He looked at the woman''s face and asked her. "Want me to help you?" The woman heavily nodded while she cried. Upon looking at the woman''s face closer, Leo realized that she was a beauty. Although her long wet messy hair covered half of her face, her eyes, nose, mouth, and facial outline were simr to Lisa from ck Pink. Unfortunately, this girl''s asset was undesirable for Leo''s standard. He nced down for a moment before he marked her as unwanted. "Tell me where the emperor keeps his treasure, and I''ll bring you out of this ce." The woman gulped. She then raised her trembling arm and pointed at a big room that Leo had ignored. "T-T-The library. T-There''s a secret room underground. I don''t know where and how to get there, but I know there''s one for an emergency." "Good job." Leo widely grinned and turned around. He ordered Esen, "Bring this woman out of this city for me." "What? Why should I?" Esen was annoyed. "If I touch her, she''s dead. You know that my body is special, right?" Esen narrowed her eyes and scoffed, "Fine, you monster. Half of the treasures you find belong to me, alright?!" "Deal." Esen grumblingly walked toward the woman. She carried her on her shoulders in a fireman carry style. Then, she flew away from the pce. However, instead of bringing the concubine outside the city, she brought the woman to Leo''s bus. After Esen had left, Leo proceeded to the library. . . In the library, everything was a mess. Scrolls, books, and papers were scattered everywhere as cultivators had already searched this ce for cultivation manuals. Unfortunately for them, this ce only stored government documents. Leo toured the library for a few minutes. As all books and scrolls were already on the ground, all shelves were empty. There was no sign of a book-lever mechanism in here. As Leo couldn''t find the secret passage, he started using his other senses. He began sniffing like a police dog. The room was filled with bamboo and papyrus-like odor. Leo''s nostril ached after he inhaled too much small paper powder and dust. A few minutester, Leo sensed cold air from the floor and the wall. There were two spots that he detected. Leo walked toward the north wall. In front of the wall was a series of empty bookshelves. As Leo didn''t need the shelves anymore, he pulled the shelf away and hit the wall with his fist. BOOM The wall exploded and copsed, revealing a secret corridor. "There you go." The pathway was a narrow stairway to an underground passage. However, Leo sniffed the air and frowned. The air smelled like iron and sour sweat. It was fresh. From Leo''s experience, this scent indicated fresh corpses and people who had never taken a bath for centuries. Since the destination reeked of blood, Leo turned away from the secret passage. He walked toward the second area. In front of Leo was a golden pir. It was located at the center of the library. Strangely, no bookshelf was in the way. Leo smirked and touched the pir. He stored the entire thing in his spatial ring. RUMBLE The ceiling caved in a little. However, without a pir, thedder to another underground area was visible. Leo looked down and sniffed again. This time, he detected the scent of nts and medical herbs. Moreover, strange Qi came out from the underground area. "This is the one!" Leo jumped down the hole. Upon reaching the bottom, Leo saw a bright light. There was another passage to a bright room. Leo entered the room. Upon reaching his destination, he was greeted by arge underground garden of medical herbs. On the left side, Leo found hundreds of ginseng and mandrakes. On the right, a dozen shelves were full of ss bottles of medical pills. However, at the center of the room, there was an altar. Leo''s eyes were attracted to the pedestal at the center of the room. He walked closer to check the glowing orb on the pedestal. As soon as Leo got closer, his system reacted. Chapter 168 100 SQ/M Clothing Store Building Abducted By Florida Man’s UFO ? Chapter 168 C 100 SQ/M Clothing Store Building Abducted by Florida Man''s UFO The new parking lot building caught the attention of the workers. Teenagers gathered around it while Wu Buyi and the elders entered the building to explore. As usual, they found another building with a massive space. They were no longer surprised. "Again, the spatial distortion array," Wu Buyi shrugged and left the building. Han Hao and Han Meng continued to explore the building. They reached the 8th floor, where Leo had parked his battle bus there. "Oh, it''s here. I guess this will be where Lord Florida Man keeps his flying ships. Well, what''s on the next floor?" Han Hao saw the bus and proceeded to the rooftop. Han Meng also followed after his father. Upon getting to the rooftop, they found a real-sized parking lot space and two ramps. As for Leo, he was no longer there. "Slopes?" Han Meng inspected the south ramp and touched its surface. It was smooth and hard. Han Hao also checked the west ramp. He crossed his arms in confusion. "What are these for?" "Who knows?" "" These people never had a slider when they were young. Thus, theycked imagination. As they lost interest, they leaped down from the building and returned to their duties. A few minutester, Leo came back from the junkyard, carrying two long logs. He ced it vertically, measuring if it could reach the top floor. Unfortunately, it was too short. "Bah. I guess I have to use another method. What to do?" Leo nned to extend the rooftop so that a stunt car could race on it. But since this project wasplicated, Leo paused to think. He imagined steel rods, which weremonly used to weave a foundation of a mega project construction. He looked at the iron pine log. Although it had strong durability and toughness, Leo wasn''t confident that they could rece the modern steel rods. After all, they were vulnerable to fire. "I have to upgrade the logs and wood somehow. But if I want to do that, I have to upgrade my alchemy workshops to enable more cauldrons. To upgrade those, I have to upgrade my store to level 10" Leo narrowed his eyes. He gazed at his general store building. "No choice, eh? Oh, right. Didn''t I have a new ability?" Leo thought of his dao avatar''s ability C The Domain of Genes. As it only affected hostile people, he could use it to rece the default mechanism of the store. After making the decision, Leo entered the general store and warned the workers inside, who were resting on the third floor. He forced them to pack their belongings and wait in front of the store. The confused teens and young men gathered their stuff and exited the building through the front door as requested. Then, they gathered in groups, waiting to see what Leo would do to the building. After everybody had left, Leo didn''t upgrade the building right away. Instead, he came out of the building and called the people to follow him to the parking lot. The group proceeded to the sixth floor of the parking lot. Then, Leo opened his online shopping menu. He input keywords. Recreational Vehicle, aka RV DING Vans, trucks, trailers, buses, coaches, and motorhome essories showed up in Leo''s menu. He sorted and filtered the list before he chose a brand new Mercedes Sprinter Camper Edition, which cost only 100 years of lifespan. WHOOSH A ck luxurious van appeared in front of Leo. He smirked and touched it. As usual, he ordered his system in his mind. ''Upgrade it.'' DING The upgrading fee was the same as its price tag. After upgrading it to level 9, Leo only spent 900 YOL, including the van. The vehicle slightly transformed. Its paint reflected the light like a mirror, and Leo could see himself from the reflection. The tires and the van''s width were slightly bigger. The ck windows glittered as they absorbed the sunlight to generate Qi for the vehicle. Leo slid open the van''s door to check the interior. Instead of seeing apact camping van with luxurious seats, Leo found a specious 100 square meter room inside. It featured a kitchen, a refrigerator, a washing machine, two bathrooms, a living room, and two bedrooms. Every room was fully furnished. The flooring came with basicminated wood, which looked easy to clean and maintain. Simr to Leo''s bus, the driver''s cockpit was separated from the living area. Leo hopped inside. Although he was inside a van, he no longer needed to crouch as the ceiling was 2.5 meters high. He checked the bedrooms next. Instead of finding a foldable bed, Leo found a bunk bed for two, two desks, and two closets. The room was as big as a studio room apartment. Leo checked the other room and saw the same interior. He was satisfied. "Four people? Okay, that will work." Leo got out of the van. Upon getting out, the crowd gazed at him in anticipation. "I''m reallocating everybody''s residents. You will no longer stay in my shopping mall anymore. Instead, I''ll let you live in these vehicles that I''m about to build! Well, first I need to park this thing properly." Leo got back to the van and parked it at the north edge of the building. "Group up into a team of four!" The young disciples looked at each other and began forming teams. It didn''t take long for hundreds of youngsters to form groups. Leo picked the nearest group of four and pointed at the van. "This is your new home. Take your belongings in there and choose your room. Also, you are responsible for your own rooms and van. If it gets dirty, it''s on you!" The four chosen youngsters were excited. They brought their belongings into the camping RV to see the inside. Upon seeing the interior, they weren''t disappointed. "Wow." "Holy" Leo frowned at their reaction. He remembered something. Walking back into the van, Leo pulled the car''s key. He stared hard at it while he ordered his cancer cells. ''Duplicate this thing for me. Use the metal Qi or whatsoever.'' Leo''s transparent blood seeped out from his fingertip. When it touched the air and Qi, it turned ck and grew bigger. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ck water slime. The slime enveloped the car key for a moment. It slowly split into three and separated from the original. Then, they transformed, duplicating the key''s size and shape. Just like that, Leo got three additional keys for these guys. He tossed one to each resident. "Don''t lose it. That''s the key to your home. Also, if any moron tries to drive the car without permission and crashes something, I''ll deduct your lifespan for the repair cost. Comprende?!" The four teenagers repeatedly nodded and sweated profusely. They stored their keys in their spatial rings. After entrusting the keys to the new residents, Leo repeated the process. He purchased another RV, picking the same brand. . . In the end, Leo purchased a hundred RVs and parked them on the seventh floor. As Leo left a lot of room for other cars to navigate through this floor to the lower and higher levels, it was 80% full. Although there were rooms to squeeze more vans in, Leo left some empty areas for the boys for creativity. All homeless employees got their new home. Leo could upgrade the store without implicating the bystanders. Going back to the general store, Leo visited the third floor, where the employees used to stay there. As Leo had expected, the floor and the partitioned rooms were full of dirt and footprints. It needed a heavy cleaning. Leo shrugged and visited the second floor next. He collected all sports cars into his spatial rings. Then, he touched the floor. "Upgrade Menu." DING "Stop whining. Do it!" DING RUMBLE The entire shopping mall trembled. Sounds of ss breaking echoed while the entire building transformed once again. The store gained two new floors while it maintained its interior and spaces. New sets of esctors and a new elevator appeared, allowing shoppers to walk freely in the mall. From the second level to the fifth level, the majority of the floor vanished, transforming the interior floors into balcony floors. Compensating for the lost usage space, each partitioned room in the mall got bigger. They looked small from the outside. But when Leo looked closer, each room was about 1,000 square meters, which was quite sizable for a store. After the trembling stopped, the system prompted him with a new message. DING
"" A lot of information flooded Leo''s mind. He slowly digested it one by one. First, Leo wanted to refute the system as this ce was no longer a "Humble" general store. It should be called empty-mall-level backrooms. As the system gave him a new thing to do, Leo tested it right away. He opened the store domain menu to see the new features. New tabs appeared in the shop domain menu C Merge, PVP, and Quests. Leo pressed on it. DING In the menu, the screen highlighted the clothing store and alchemy workshops in green. Experimenting with it, Leo pressed on the clothing store building. DING Leo didn''t think much. He picked an empty room on the first floor. WHOOSH The clothing store building instantly vanished. The workers in the store, including the cat-eared mannequin, remained behind. They looked around in confusion as the entire building was gone. WHOOSH All items and clothes that the mannequin made appeared in the designated room. The interior changed into what the clothing store once had. Moreover, all the clothes and disy mannequins sorted themselves, gathering on the new shelves and cloth hangers in the room. Leo walked toward the new clothing store in his mall to check. As the store was in the mall, no front door or wall existed anymore. Only a long disy window separated this ce from the adjacent rooms. Curious about what the mannequin had made, Leo checked the products. He noticed several sets of ck suits, neckties, long pants, leather shoes, evening dresses, t-shirts, and random clothes that Leo had shown to the mannequin girl. Roughly counting, Leo believed she had at least 2,000 clothes for sale. TAKTAKTAK The clothing store mannequin sprinted into the shopping mall. She found Leo and stopped on her track. Then, she saluted. "Oh, you''re here." "" The mannequin seemed to be in a good mood. She rushed into the new clothing store and inspected the interior. A few secondster, the girls, who worked at the clothing store, followed their boss to the mall. When they found the mannequin, they were relieved. "There you are Eh? L-Lord Florida Man?" The girls bowed to Leo, "G-Greetings, senior! Er Right! W-We have something to report! T-The clothing store has disappeared, sir! The whole building vanishes!" Leo grinned. As the girls seemed confused, Leo exined everything to them. "It''s fine. Actually, there will be a big change. A lot of changes" Chapter 173 Game-Addicted Florida Man Sued Game Company as Game’s “Quest” Forced Him to Touch Grass

Chapter 173 Game-Addicted Florida Man Sued Game Company as Games Quest Forced Him to Touch Grass

Chapter 173 C Game-Addicted Florida Man Sued Game Company as Game''s "Quest" Forced Him to Touch Grass At night, Leo was still inside the shopping mall, rearranging the first floor''s goodies. All shelves and showcase refrigerators were concentrated on the northeast corner, leaving the other area empty. He did this for a reason. After the shopping mall upgrade, a new area opened up at the back of the shopping mall C Arge cargo elevator emerged, connecting to the underground warehouse zone. It became easier to transfer items from granaries and warehouses to the shopping mall. With this setup, Leo could directly resupply his "supermarket" goods without leaving the shopping mall. "Whew. Next!" Leo chose not to sleep for the day as he had a hundred tasks toplete. He entered the cargo elevator and descended to the shopping mall''s underground warehouse. Getting into the warehouse, Leo discovered four closed shutter doors and a massive empty room with a tall ceiling. On the shutter doors,bels told Leo where the doors would lead him to. [Granary 1] [Granary 2] [Warehouse 1] [Warehouse 2] It wasn''t hard to guess. Leo opened the "Warehouse 1" door. Opening the shutter door, the interior of Leo''s first warehouse building was in front of him. He inspected the warehouse''s items and collected weapons, clothes, and pills that he and his subordinates had plundered from the dead cultivators. After gathering a bunch of junk items in his spatial rings, Leo walked toward the exit. When Leo came out, he appeared outside of the first warehouse building. "Alright. Neat! What about the security?" Leo looked around and searched for a volunteer to test the security feature. It wasn''t hard to find a trustworthy guy around here. The first warehouse''s mannequins and a disciple helped each other pushing arge trash bin full of iron pine barks toward Leo''s warehouse. When they saw Leo, they stopped to greet him. "Hello, senior!" The Life Sword Sect''s disciple politely cupped his fist. As for the mannequin, it creepily stared at Leo''s face. Leo waved his hand and called the disciple, "I have a favor to ask you. Can you go into that warehouse and try to get inside the new area over there?" "New area, sir?" "Mhm. I''ll give you an essence stone for the trouble. Can you do it?" Hearing that he would get an essence stone for a simple job, the disciple repeatedly nodded in excitement, "Of course, sir!" "Good. Now, go in there and return if you can enter that area." "Is that all, sir?" "Yup!" The disciple cheerfully rushed into the warehouse. When he reached the deepest part of the building, he discovered a new shutter door, which led to a new area. He was astonished and excited. After all, he always worked around here, helping the warehouse mannequin storing goods from the harvesting team. He knew this warehouse like the back of his hand. "Wow." The disciple cautiously walked toward the open area. But as soon as he reached the boundary of the underground shopping mall''s warehouse, he hit an invisible wall. "Huh?" The disciple was confused. He reached out toward the new zone and tried to get there. However, he touched a transparent wall instead. He panicked. He thought that Leo wouldn''t give him an essence stone if he couldn''t enter the area. Thus, he tried to punch it. BONK The punch bounced back. He felt like he hit a bouncing rubber instead of a hard wall. Confused, the disciple tried again. Second attempt, third attempt, tenth attempt, he failed to break the invisible barrier. In the end, he gave up. The disciple was crestfallen as he returned to Leo. He reported his failure. "Sir, I couldn''t get inside the new area. I''m sorry." Leo raised his eyebrows. Instead of being disappointed, he was overjoyed. "Really? Okay. You did a good job. Here is your bonus." He tossed an essence stone to the disciple. Thetter caught it and nkly stared at the stone for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he deeply bowed to Leo. "THANK YOU, SIR! I''LL WORK EVEN HARDER!" Leo waved his hand and dismissed the young man. As long as no one but Leo could ess the warehouse from the other entrances, the shopping mall warehouse was secure. However, Leo might have to manage the entire warehouse himself. ''This might be a headache. For now, I don''t need to restock my supermarket. I''ll leave it empty for now unless Cat threatens to empty the granary again. How much does she eat every day?!'' Leo wanted to go check the granaries to see the carnage. However, he stopped the thoughts as he had another thing toplete. He returned to the alchemy workshop. Then, he ordered the mannequin to use the sixth cauldron to make more grain pills. Although Leo nned to keep this cauldron to research other materials, he postponed the idea. After all, his main quest''s first phrase was almostpleted. . Entity Fate Crystal Quest C Phrase 1/13 Mission Objectives: Complete 10 tasks toplete this phrase.

(Done) - Sold at least 1,000 products in your store. (Done) *For eachpleted task, you will receive one Lucky Draw (Building), and one Lucky Draw (Automaton). . Leo needed two more toplete the first set of quests. Then, he could enjoy the two batches of lucky draws. Moreover, there was something new in the gacha section. Aside from the building and the automaton, there was a new banner that Leo could try his luck. [Gnosis Lucky Draw] This feature had been unlocked after Leo evolved the general store into a shopping mall. This was foreshadowed in chapter 106. However, like the other gacha banners, it required lucky draw tickets, and Leo couldn''t purchase it with his lifespan. Although the system gave Leo multiple restrictions and forced him to work, it was not heartless enough to not give him hints. Under the 10+1 draw button, there were tiny texts underneath. "" Leo narrowed his eyes after reading the hint. He deeply inhaled, preparing his heart to explore the unknown. While walking toward the recycling center, Leo opened the menu that he had never explored yet C The PVP tab. DING When Leo pressed on the PVP tab, a tutorial screen appeared. . PVP Mode Wee to the PVP Section, where you can enjoypeting against other fate crystal bearers andparing your strengths. You can climbdders in the ranking matches or spar against your friends in a private lobby. At the end of every season, you will obtain many rewards based on your rankings.

If you have friends, we suggest you try this out to have fun. Of course, this mode is 100% safe as no one can die during the fight. . Leo was skeptical about this feature. Even though the participating right was limited to one fight per week or month, he wasn''t that interested in the activities. Instead, he only checked this feature because he was curious about the lucky draw tickets. ''This is the same as those evil gacha games. If you don''t PvP, your progress will fall behind the others because you can''t get the exclusive rewards. This is where the P2W partes in. But does system allows P2W?'' While reading the tutorial screen, Leo arrived at the recycling center. He gazed at the acid pool, where the workers disposed of junk. Standing near the pool, Leo rubbed his spatial rings, which he had used to store junk items from the warehouse earlier. Old clothes, regr grain pills, old weapons, and random tools were poured into the pool. Everything was instantly dissolved. Then, the machine hummed, producing hundreds of spirit stones. Leo ignored the machine and kept pouring more items. After Leo had removed all clothes and junk items from the spatial rings, he checked the quest progression. . Recycle at least 10,000 items by using the Recycling Center. (7,133 / 10,000) . They were not enough. Leo needed more junk to dispose of. He turned around and ced all spatial rings on the ground, piling into a small mountain. Roughly estimated, about 1,000 rings were in front of Leo. After putting everything in ce, Leo rechecked everything one by one. All empty storage rings were tossed into the pool behind Leo. He kept scanning and tossing it away when he was done. 10 rings, 50 rings, 100 rings, Leo kept discarding them. He didn''t show remorse for throwing such precious items away as he had too many. When Leo checked the 138th ring, he found a storage, full of books and furniture. It seemed that the previous owner was a librarian or a book enthusiast. Leo mercilessly ejected the books to the ground and dumped all the bookshelves into the pool. Then, he skimmed through the books. "Come to think of it, my ce doesn''t have a library. Should I keep these?" Leo flipped a random book. The pages showed images of humans doing various poses. At the side of each image, Chinese texts described the techniques. Reading the martial arts manual, Leo tilted his head to the side as he found the poses weird and illogical. He closed the book and checked another one. When Leo reached out for a new book, he finally looked up to check how many books he had ejected earlier. Then, he noticed the anomaly. The pile was a lot bigger than the small mountain of spatial rings. The total books and scrolls were more than enough to fill the entire acid pool. "Oh, boy. I guess I can dump these toplete the quest. But is that really a good idea?" Leo looked around, but he couldn''t find any elder. Without a choice, he shouted, calling Hua Jiashan and Dongfang Mei over. . The two portal guards rushed down from the flying tform. They arrived at the recycling center and found a mountain of books, which was taller than them. "Senior, what are these?" Asked Hua Jiashan. "Books, of course." "I know, but where did you get these?" "I forgot. I killed too many people, and one of their rings contains these. Well, help me sort these things. Throw every useless book into the pool and keep the useful ones." "W-What?!" Hua Jiashan gulped. He rushed over and picked a random book nearby. After flipping a few pages, he was astonished. "Swift Monkey Footwork?! Isn''t this the Beggar Sect''s technique?" Hearing Hua Jiashan''sment, Dongfang Mei was astonished. She waved her finger and pulled a scroll to her hand. Opening the scroll, she read it out loud. "Mountain Cleaver Strike Technique. This is a de technique from the Death Sword Sect! Wait, that too!" Both elders were shocked and excited as their organizationscked resources to collect as many technique books. They looked like nerdy children who had seen a bookstore for the first time. Looking at the duo, Leo pursed his lips. He thought of another business model. "I guess I have to add a bookstore to my wish list. I hope the building gacha will grant me this." Chapter 175 Florida Man Wrestled a Pig in a Professional Wrestling Match.

Chapter 175 C Florida Man Wrestled a Pig in a Professional Wrestling Match. The Pig Owner is Confused. After receiving the ticket, Leo found himself back on the bus, sitting on his bed. It was as if he had never moved at all. Leo looked around to make sure that he returned to his bus. Confirming that he was safe, he opened the Gnosis Gacha page to see what he could get from it. The banner also featured the 10+1 promotion. Looking at the discount, Leo was tempted to collect nine more. "Right. I still have the real-time thingy." Heughed and selected the Real-Time PVP Mode. A new screen appeared, showing Leo''s current ranking. As usual, he was unranked. However, the ranking was a lot shorter than the offline one. Only a thousand portraits appeared on the list. Moreover, the number of points seemed suspicious. The lowest rank had 142 points while the guy with a higher rank had 175 points. The gap between ranks was even more severe at the top level. For example, the top guy "Lucky" had over five million points while the second rank "Shuri" was three million points behind. On top of the ranking, the screen revealed that it was Season 65,536, and it would end in 20 years. In addition, the season page revealed the prizes that top rankers would earn when the season ended. The top rank would get two billion years of lifespan, including a hundred lucky draw tickets of any category! As for the bottom rankers with one point or more, they would get one lucky draw ticket as a constion prize. Leo gulped. He remembered that he wasted 2,147,483,647 years to transmigrate to this cultivation world. Thinking of getting those precious YOL back made Leo salivate. "Here goes nothing! What can go wrong?" Confident in his strength, Leo pressed the auto-match button at the bottom. Then, his system screens were closed. Leo found himself in a simr cubic arena. However, he didn''t find an opponent. Instead, He discovered the audience outside of the transparent cubic arena. Outside the arena was a humongous stadium, farrger than every Earth''s sports stadiumbined. It looked like a condominiumplex inside a massive dome stadium and spectator stands. The spectators were strange as well. Leo couldn''t find any human in the crowded stadium. On the other hand, humanoid beastmen, giant creatures, and monsters gathered in groups, forming a territory on the stands. As Leo looked around, he noticed a group of familiar creatures. They had round heads, cat ears, cat faces, and tentacles like one of his guardian statues. These guys came in a group of 100, watching Leo from a VIP box. However, they were far bigger than the statue, and their room was as big as the Tokyo Dome Stadium. The sheer size of this ce and the humongous monsters made Leo feel like an ant. He wondered if he slipped into the MIB Universe. While checking the spectators and the stadium, two unreadable words were disyed. Unfortunately for Leo, he could not read the numbers as it was in a differentnguage. He could hear the conversations from the crowd, but he couldn''t figure out what they were talking about. Everything sounded gibberish. After waiting and standing idly for a few minutes, arge monster appeared in an arena. He was a three-meter-tall green orc. His lower jaw was bigger than the upper part, and his two canines extended outside of his mouth. His muscr chest, arms, and legs were full of scars. The orc turned around and stared at Leo. He put his hand on his face, and a tribal mask appeared from thin air, covering his ugly face. A full leather armor appeared and covered his half-naked body while two hammers manifested andnded on the ground in front of him. He calmly equipped his gear and grabbed his hammers, getting ready to fight. However, he didn''t step forward. Leo stroked his braided beard and wondered if this guy was stronger than the previous angel. He pulled out his pistol to test the water. Unfortunately, Leo couldn''t pull the trigger. DING "" Although Leo was not into gambling, he never hated it. Since this ce wished for him to make a bet, he might as well follow the local customs. When in Rome, act like Romans. "Ahem!" Leo coughed and gazed at the orc. He tried to speak. "This is my first time here. May I bet my puny lifespan and one Earth fate crystal? Leo chose not to reveal his two entity fate crystals to avoid attention. As he was new, he needed to gather info and avoid trouble. He might be aidback person when he dealt with other cultivators. However, at a higher stage, Leo couldn''t afford to behave the same way. He didn''t trust PLAYERS and fellow system users. The orc heard the tranted version of Leo''s words in hisnguage, and he was disappointed. He dropped his hammers and crossed his arms. "I thought a neer has at least a heavenly fate crystal, SCHWEE! What a letdown, SCHWEE!" Leo snickered, "I take that as a yes, right?" The orc snorted and poked something invisible in front of him. Then, a screen appeared in front of Leo. The screen showed the orc''s portrait and grid boxes. A few secondster, an icon of a piece of Earth Fate Crystal appeared in one of the grid boxes. In addition, the bottom of the grids showed the lifespan that the orc had. [641,510 Years] This orc had a long life! Leo rubbed his hands. He checked the other side of the screen, which showed his information and portrait. Aside from the fate crystal icons that he had, Leo found a button to add his lifespan into the wager pool. He also checked his current lifespan. [161,154 Years] Looking at his current lifespan, Leo regretted investing in the Pylon Tower and shopping mall. Had he saved up, he would have 200,000 years more to gamble. Since Leo only had this much, he allocated 100,000 YOL to the wager pool, forcing the orc to bet the same amount. After putting one piece of earth fate crystal and his lifespan into the wager pool, Leo nced at the scoreboard once again. It showed the betting odds between Leo and the orc. It was currently in favor of the orc, and the rating was -750. For example, a gambler had to put $750 betting on the orc. Should the orc win, the gambler would get their $750 back and make a profit of $100. On the other hand, Leo''s rate was +600. Thus, he could profit a lot for little investment. Since everybody thought of him as a pushover, Leo explored his system and noticed a tab on top of the screen. [Gambling House] Without hesitation, Leo pressed on it. The new page showed simr grids and lifespanbels. Also, there was an instruction. [Please input the amount you want to bet on yourself.] It was easy to understand. As Leo still had 61,154 YOL in stock, he bet 60,000 YOL without saying anything. With this amount, he could profit 360,000 YOL and get his wager back! Leo snickered and rubbed his hands, looking forward to collecting his profits. Strangely, after the bet, the odds didn''t change. Normally, the gambling houses in his homeworld always change the rate whenever someone put a huge bet on a team or someone. Since nobody changed the rating, Leo didn''t protest. He closed the menu and gazed at the orc. The orc was also busy looking at his invisible system screen. He fiddled with it and closed the system menu. When both sides were ready, Leo and the orc stared at each other. Thetter grabbed his hammers and got ready to fight. BEEP 5 4 The warning sound alerted them that the countdown had begun. Their bodies turned stiff as they were restrained by an unknown force. As soon as the countdown began, Leo heard someone speaking to him directly to his mind. ''Win for us, munya! I have a feeling that you are my lucky star today!'' "Munya?" 3 2 Leo could only rotate his eyes. He nced at the group of catopuses in a VIP box and managed to catch a glimpse of an orange catopus. I waved its tentacle at Leo and smiled. ''PAY ATTENTION, MUNYA!'' "Oh, right." 1 BEEP By the time Leo looked at the orc, the countdown finished. A blunt hammer was already one centimeter in front of Leo. BOOM It was a direct hit. For the first time, Leo''s head tilted backward, and he took two steps back. "What?!" The orc frowned after he smashed Leo''s face with his hammer. Nobody had survived his hammer attack before. Leo regained his bnce. He lowered his stance and tackled the orc. After grabbing the orc''s legs, Leo lifted the huge guy up and mmed him with a spine-buster. Although Leo managed to touch the orc, his victory wasn''t guaranteed. Many people and creatures resisted his gene mutation power before, so he didn''t expect the orc to mutate and die with a single touch. The orc remained expressionless. He nced at his thighs as he sensed the wiggling cancer cells inside him. Ignoring the mutating cells, he shouted. "PROVIDENCE DOMAIN, WAR GOD SKIN!" The green orc''s skin reddened. He kicked Leo away and sat up. All cancer cells earlier were crushed by his green blood. Leo rolled on the ground and pulled out his gun. He fired a round at the orc. BANG The bullet hit the orc''s chest, but it failed to prate his skin. Leo narrowed his eyes. He injected his Qi into the upgraded bullet and tried again. This time, a ck lightning beam came out. "!!!" The orc widened his eyes in shock and raised his hammers to block the beam. However, he was swallowed in the darkness. When the ck light subsided, the orc was left with a set of red bones and his internal organs. Although his muscle, skin, and flesh got melted by the ck beam, he was still alive. The skin and flesh of the orc slowly regenerated. Even his melted eyes were repaired in a second. "You''re not just a True Immortal. You''re a god as well, I see." Seeing that the orc was about to restore his body, Leo summoned his dao avatar, preparing to use his ultimate technique. However, before Leo could do so, the orc let go of his hammers and sat down. BEEP "Huh, wait a second." Leo was taken aback. He thought that he hadn''t won yet, but the system stopped the match. The orc smirked at Leo. He then pointed at his stomach, full of his innards and internal organs. "Surprised, newbie, SCHWEE?" "Of course, I''m surprised. How did I win? I haven''t done anything to you yet?" "Hahahaha! You already destroyed my providence domain, SCHWEE. My flesh and muscles are gone, and I can''t use Qi until I recover my body, SCHWEE. Since I can''t continue fighting even for a minute, I''ve lost, SCHWEE." " Wait. That''s it?" "Cracking your opponent''s domain, especially a providence domain is enough to decide the match, actually. Anyway, good fight, human god, SCHWEE."

Chapter 176 Florida Man Scammed Foreigner as Revenge after Being Called by Racial Slur

Chapter 176 C Florida Man Scammed Foreigner? as Revenge after Being Called by Racial Slur CHA-CHING DING The system spammed messages after the match was concluded. However, the system didn''t return Leo back to his bus right away. Instead, it teleported him to a contestant''s locker room. As for the orc, he vanished. "???" Leo looked around in confusion. He found himself alone in a giant locker room. The benches and lockers were megalophobia-inducing humongous as they were 20 timesrger and taller than average lockers on Earth. Just by standing on the bench, Leo felt like he was a small insect in a human world. "Umm, where am I?" Leo scratched his head. Fortunately, the system gave him another hint. "" Learning about his personal locker, Leo scanned the massive room. BEEP The system was helpful this time. The window screen transformed into a streak of light, guiding Leo toward his locker. He walked on the massive bench and followed the blue light. After walking for 10 minutes, Leo came across a glowing ck locker at the bottom row, 561st from the right and 345th from the left. It had Leo''s portrait picture on it. However, the stadiumbeled him with a different name. [Florida Man, the Nu''Earthe Champion] "NuEarth? New Earth?" Leo was puzzled by this new nickname. It would have been more understandable if the name was "Earthling", "Floridian God", or "Human". But in this case, it sounded strange. Ignoring the portrait and his weird nickname, Leo jumped down from the high bench and approached the massive locker. He touched the gold locker wall. DING A system screen appeared, showing a grid inventory of his items. At the left side of the screen, log messages of various people donating random items to Leo kept appearing. There were other messages and gifts, but most of them simply gave Leo a handful of spirit stones. Only these three gave him interesting information and items. Leo tabbed on the icon of the fish to see its detail or item name. Fortunately, this system screen was more generous than Leo''s system. It showed the backstory of each creature, and Leo didn''t have to put them in his alchemy cauldron to identify them. . Abyssal Anglerfish Strength: Quasi-Sage Size: 1,133 km Weight: 27,500 tons This massive gctic creature lives in the Abyssal Constetion Star Sector of the famous Overlord Xiaomao. It was one of many livestock that Overlord Xiaomao had been rearing to feed his disciples and their Cathulhu friends. It is said that its meat contains the providence of gluttony. Many chef sages are willing to sell their kidneys to get a hand on one of them as its meat is extremely delicious and can bestow the providence of gluttony to anybody who eats it. . Abyssal Tuna Strength: 7-Star Constetion Size: 2,760 km Weight: 65,000 tons This massive gctic creature lives in the Abyssal Constetion Star Sector of the famous Overlord Xiaomao. It was one of many livestock that Overlord Xiaomao has been rearing as a primary merchandise of his star sector. Abyssal Tuna is the most sought fish in the Abyssal Gctic Sea due to its extreme nutrition and its bones. Abyssal Tuna''s bones are known to be one of the rarest materials in the universe that can store the Providence Qi of gods. Deitiesmonly convert abyssal tuna bones into Qi storage for emergency usage. . Leo was astonished by the sheer size of the fish. Each one of them was sorge that Leo couldn''t imagine how he would store these. He might have to chop them into smaller pieces before he could send them to his granaries. Also, there were 100 eggs of the Abyssal Tuna. Leo wondered if he could hatch them and create a fish pond of his own. Still, their absolute size shattered his dream as it was impossible to grow one of them on his. ''What the hell are those cats thinking? Do they think that I can process these? Oh, dear.'' Leo counted the number of spirit stones from the locker. He pulled the spirit stone icon out of the screen, and small marble balls gushed out. Without letting the spirit stones touch the ground, Leo stored everything in his spatial rings. 10,000 20,000 30,000 Leo looked at the screen. Although the match had ended, the donations kepting for an unknown reason. He wondered why. 30 minutester, the donating train stopped. Leo counted the spirit stones in his 15 spatial rings and tallied 750,000 in total. "What am I gonna do with you? Turn you into essence stones?" Leo deeply inhaled and pondered what he should do with the essence stones. Then, he recalled that he could turn them into soul stones by using the alchemy workshop. While Leo was in the middle of a daydream, Acku''Schweelu the Orc God appeared in the locker room. He then walked toward the locker adjacent to Leo''s. The orc ignored Leo and touched his storage. A few secondster, the orc god bitterly smiled. He withdrew some spirit stones and essence stones, which his friends and fellow orcs gave him as a constion. After packing everything, he looked at Leo. Their eyes met. Then, they politely nodded at each other. "I see. You''re healed already," Leo praised Acku''s tenacity. "My regenerative power is nothingpared to your physique, SCHWEE. I still can''t believe that you weren''t even injured after getting hit by my full-powered providence hammer, SCHWEE." "Likewise. This is the first time I see someone other than me surviving that ck beam." Both men smirked. They silently fist-bumped, showing each other respect and admiration. Leo also liked the orc as he seemed educated and well-mannered, unlike the arrogant cultivators at home. "Say," Acku nced at Leo''s locker and read his name, "Florida Man, SCHWEE. I''m curious. You''re definitely a high-ranked deity, but howe I haven''t heard about you before, SCHWEE?" "Am I supposed to be famous?" Acku''s expression turned dark, "Have you checked my ranking, SCHWEE?" "???" Leo raised his brow for a moment before he opened his system menu, checking the real-time PVP ranking. Then, he searched for Acku''s name. . [Acku''Schweelu, the Orc God] Rank: 99th Battle Record: 11,273 Wins, 121 Draws, 577 Loses Kill Count: 752 Points: 176,812 . There was a lot to digest. Looking at Akcu''s record, Leo was astonished. "Whoa. You fought a lot." "What can I say, SCHWEE? I started out around season 35,000, so I raked up some experience, SCHWEE." After checking Acku''s record, Leo inspected his. He wondered how many points he got from the previous fight. . [Florida Man, the Nu''Earthe Champion] Rank: 1,346th Battle Record: 1 Win, 0 Draw, 0 Lose Kill Count: 0 Point: 3 . The title got Leo every time he looked at it. He was annoyed that he was called by something strange. "Say, friend Acku. What''s Nu''Earthe?" The orc frowned. He pursed his lips, hesitating to speak the word. "Can I say that word in front of you, SCHWEE?" "What? It''s not like you''re one of my easy-to-offend-politically-corrected Americans. That''s an N-word, right?" "" The orc didn''t understand half of Leo''s words. He flinched for a moment. Then, he mustered the courage to tell him what he knew. "I guess you have been living under a rock for 10,000 years, SCHWEE! Nu''Earthe is a ng word that the Fenrir Overlord Lucky invented after he had lost to Overlord Xiaomao in a fight 100,000 years ago. In theirnguage, Nue means "without" or "not have". Eer means fur, and dhee means tail, SCHWEE. When they speak quickly, it bes Nu''Earthe. When Fenrirs say it, it sounds like they mock a human or other races for having no fur and tail. It''s a racial slur, SCHWEE." "" Leo''s weird knowledge increased. "Back to my question, SCHWEE," Acku changed the topic. "Were you in seclusion, SCHWEE? Someone with your strength should have been famous in the heavenly court. Where have you been hiding, SCHWEE?" Acku wondered where Leo came from. After all, Acku''s strength was in the top 100 among all fate crystal bearers, and he was considered one of the top dogs in the universe. Only the elusive sages and entities could threaten his life. In addition, as a long-living god of the orc race, he had met many deities of the other races in variouspetitions, tournaments, events, and wars. He had memorized the names and faces of his rivals, friends, and peers. Despite his connection and knowledge, Leo, who was stronger than Acku, suddenly showed up in the Fate Crystal Bearer arena out of nowhere. His existence shook his confidence in his informationwork. "Nothing much," Leo shrugged. "As you said, I was in seclusion for 50,000 years. I juste out." "I see. That exins a lot, SCHWEE!" Acku nodded in understanding. He, too, sometimes spent a few thousand years training in seclusion. "One more thing, SCHWEE!" Curious about Leo, Acku wished to know about the former''s base of operation or headquarters. As all deities had their own religion or governed their country, Acku believed that Leo should have a domain of his own. "Can we exchange our contact, SCHWEE? Maybe, we can exchange some students or followers to learn from each other, SCHWEE!" Leo''s eyes sparkled as he loved that idea. If he could attract visitors from a higher realm, they might purchase some of the expensive goods that other mortals couldn''t buy with their lifespan. "Of course! But how?" "I guess you''re really new, SCHWEE! Have you unlocked the friend system feature, SCHWEE?" "Friend feature?" Leo rechecked his system menu. Unfortunately, he didn''t have the feature yet. "I''m sorry. I don''t think I have it." "Ah, shame, SCHWEE. Well, if you unlock it, be sure to add my name first, SCHWEE! Once we''re officially friends, we can locate each other''s location in the universe, SCHWEE! Also, if you have a kingdom-building-type system, you can build a travel portal that connects to your friend''s domain, SCHWEE!" "Wait, what?!" Leo heard something interesting. He rubbed his hands and widely grinned, "Yes, of course. I''ll add you once I unlock that feature! Actually, my domain specializes in shops, and I sell good pills." "Are you an alchemist, SCHWEE?" "I''m somewhat of an alchemist myself" "Nice, SCHWEE! We, orcs,ck cultivation resources. We''ll be grateful if you sell us cultivation pills, SCHWEE!" Leo couldn''t stop smiling. He felt like a salesman, who seeded in persuading a potential customer to a major deal. He wondered how much YOL and perks that he could get from the orc race in the future. ''Dear, oh, dear. I came here for gacha tickets, but I got myself a big shot as a customer. Boy, I''m good.'' Chapter 177 Florida Man Saved Feral Dog, Brought It Home, and Killed It for Food

Chapter 177 Florida Man Saved Feral Dog, Brought It Home, and Killed It for Food

Chapter 177 C Florida Man Saved Feral Dog, Brought It Home, and Killed It for Food The boys chatted for a few minutes before the orc excused himself. He vanished from the locker room. It was also time for Leo to leave. He nced at the following system screen. Leo nned to return, but the new option was too tempting. He chose to prolong his stay as he might attract new customers to his shop. As a shop owner, self-marketing was one of his responsibilities. After pressing the button, the surrounding environment changed. Leo found himself in a queue in front of a long counter. This area was not as massive as the locker room as the ceiling was only five meters tall, and the people around him were less than 3-4 meters in height. He still looked smallpared to other aliens around him. In front of Leo was a strange creature. It had six arms behind his back, but he had a snake-like lower torso. Its spike spines were also long. Looking at the creature from behind, Leo had goosebumps. The queues next to Leo were also special. Leo noticed blue goblins, a muscr man with a fish head, humanoid ants, a walking roper tree, giant wire-like stickmen, and werewolves. Everybody minded their business and ignored Leo. Only the group of werewolves sneaked nces at him before they scoffed in disgust. "Tsk, this ce stinks! Who let a dirty Nu''Earthe here?!" Leo clearly heard the remark from a werewolf. He turned around and red at the rude guy. The werewolf was 8 feet tall, wearing nothing and revealing his private parts. He had a wide shoulder and muscr build. As for his prideful grey fur and long fluffy tail, they were moist and dirty. From the smell alone, he didn''t look like someone who asionally took a bath. ''What''s his problem?'' Leo wryly smiled. He didn''t know what he did to offend the guy. If possible, Leo nned to avoid trouble in this strange ce. He pretended to not hear anything. Unfortunately, Leo''s action made the werewolf cocky. He kept talking. "The Fate Stadium really needs someone to strengthen their security system! This sacred arena is a gathering ce for prestige fighters and strong warriors, not a ce for thieves and the likes of Nu''Earthe weaklings!" Although Leo wasn''t bothered by the jeer, he disliked arrogant and cocky people. This werewolf''s action reminded him of the Karens on Earth. Because of the muscle memory, Leo failed to stop his running mouth. "Yeah, humans are weak, but your puppy god lost to a human, to the point that he was so salty that he invented a racial slur to cuss humans out of spite. That''s not something a STRONG and PRESTIGE fightermonly does. In my town, we call that behavior BITCHING. Oh, wait! No pun intended. Was your god a SHE or a SISSY? Oh, wait. He might literally be a BITCH!" MURMUR The crowd heard Leo''s words, and the stadium automatically tranted hisnguage. Everybody looked at the werewolf and Leo. "Whoa. Big words!" "Who is that guy dissing Overlord Lucky?" "I don''t know. He''s a human. Maybe, he''s rted to Overlord Xiaomao?" "Humans and Fenrirs have been at odds ever since Overlord Xiaomao stomped Overlord Lucky 100,000 years ago. They never change." The bystanders continued observing, yet none of them made way for Leo and the werewolf to confront each other as they had no intention of surrendering their queue. Meanwhile, a few people recognized the werewolf. "Hey, isn''t that Grurok, the Untouchable? He''s an outer disciple of Death Pack Court right?" "Ah, he probably is. A descendant of Overlord Lucky runs that court. Aside from Overlord Xiaomao and the Cathulhus, nobody survived after messing with them." "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Had Overlord Lucky never stolen an entity fate crystal from Cathulhu Overlord Miao Maomao, Overlord Xiaomao would have continued reigning the universe. That Fenrir can''t possibly run his mouth for long." "SHHH!! Stop badmouthing a Fenrir. You''re asking for trouble!" Although Grurok was in the wrong for insulting Leo and humans, nobody bothered correcting him. Grurok ignored the cowardly bystanders and broke his queue. He stomped toward Leo and pulled thetter''s cor. "WHAT DID YOU SAY, NU''EARTHE WEAKLING!? DID YOU JUST DISRESPECT OUR OVERLORD?! YOU MUST BE COURTING DEATH?!" Leo nced at the wolf''s hand. He grabbed it and stared into the wolf''s eyes. "Yeah, go tell your overlord to suck his own penis and lick his butthole like a good doggy as he is. As for you, a dirty rabid feral puppy, you''re the one courting-" The werewolf didn''t allow Leo to finish his sentences. He threw a sucker punch at Leo''s face. POW It hit Leo''s left cheek. However,pared to Acku''s destructive power, this guy''s punch was as soft as a toddler punch. Leo felt nothing, and he didn''t move an inch. Grurok widened his eyes as he sensed a sharp pain in his fist. He growled and bore his fangs. Then, he bit Leo''s neck while he hugged Leo and wed his back with his long nails. Unfortunately, Grurok''s fangs couldn''t even put a dent in Leo''s skin. His nails also failed to cut through his tactical suit, which was made by the clothing store mannequin. Leo deeply inhaled. He looked around and pointed at the wolf while he asked the bystander. "Guys. I''m new here, and I have a question. If I kill this fool, will I break thews?" The six-armed snake man in front of Leo turned around and nced at them. He snickered. "I guess you don''t know. If you have a dispute with someone, you can challenge them to a duel or a life-and-death match in this arena. And if you''re a fate crystal bearer, you can forcefully teleport anybody into the arena if they attack you first. Don''t kill anybody outside the arena, though. You''ll get arrested no matter what." Leo nodded at the snake guy, "Many thanks." "My pleasure. I suggest you go to the counter and get your match fixed. Don''t hurry and kill that fool too fast though. Let me bet on you and get some pocket money." "Hahahahah!" After interacting and observing these aliens, it reminded him of good old Florida as that ce was full of wholesome people, educated people, funny people, extroverts, and mental morons. This ce was simr to his hometown even though the alien moron here was apetitive racist. Since this werewolf wanted a piece of him, Leo dly obliged. He seized Groruk''s neck and dragged him to the front counter. "!!!" Groruk was taken aback by Leo''s raw strength. Moreover, he sensed countless tiny creatures creeping into his skin and pores. When he inspected them with his essence, he found the intruding parasitic cells. Although slowly, the cancer cells corrupted and rewrote Groruk''s blood cells and tissues. By the time Groruk tried to remove them, one of the cells entered his bone marrow. Meanwhile, Leo already reached the counter desk. Behind the counter, a femalemia with six bountiful milkers in bikinis gazed at him. Her face was as pretty as Esen, but she had snake scales on her cheeks. The woman then nced at the werewolf and nodded at Leo as if he understood something. Themia flickered her snake tongue and asked Leo. "Are you here to challenge that werewolf, sir?" "Yes. This feral dog bit me, so I want to challenge him to a life-and-death match in the arena. How do I do it?" "Are you a fate crystal bearer, sir?" Leo shrugged, "Well, yeah. It''s my first time here." "I see. Then, please open your system screen and go to the real-time PVP tab. When you''re in the domain of the Fate Stadium, you can see a new feature called "Dispute Challenge". After you press the button, you can forcefully transport the person you wish to challenge into the life-and-death arena or a casual duel arena with you. Also, please take note that defeating your opponent with this method doesn''t give you system rewards. However, your arena points and fight record will be affected." Because of the detailed exnation, Leo figured out how this ce worked. He winked at the sexymia and ogled her beautiful chest. "Thank you, ma''am. By the way, has anybody told you that you''re pretty?" "I have 7 kids from 7 different fathers, and all the fathers are in my belly. Do you want to be my 8th?" "Never mind." "Have a good day, sir," themia giggled and bowed. Then, she returned her attention to the customer in front of her counter. After learning a new trick from themia, Leo opened his system menu and navigated to the real-time PVP screen. As themia had exined, there was a new button [Dispute Solver]. Leo pressed on it, and a list of people he could challenge appeared. Unfortunately, only Groruk''s name appeared as nobody else had a conflict with Leo outside the arena. . Groruk, the Untouchable Rank: None Battle Record: 0 Win, 0 Draw, 0 Lose Kill Count: 0 Point: 0 . Looking at Groruk''s nk status, Leo wondered how this guy got his nickname. He sneered at the werewolf. "Untouchable? Well, I''m touching you right now." Groruk punched and kicked Leo. However, he didn''t budge. "BASTARD! UNHAND ME!" "Well, well, well. Look at the consequences of someone''s action. Who could have thought that the untouchable Groruk would provoke a fate bearer first? Oh, right. Feral dogs are idiots. They need to be culled for a reason." Leo selected Groruk as his opponent. Next, the screen showed Leo three arenas to fight. The first one was called [Friendly Sparring]. Small texts exined that it was for friendly duels or non-lethal fights between friends. Nobody could wager anything, and the fight would be unranked. The second one was the nd andme [Grudge Solving] mode. In this arena, fighters were not allowed to kill their opponents, but they were expected to solve their grudges through friendly duels. Again, this mode was unranked. Thest one was what Leo loved. [Life-and-Death] arena fit him perfectly as he could kill his opponent while he could farm some arena points. Leo''s match could also be listed in a gambling house for other spectators to bet. Aside from the system rewards, all rules were the same as the real-time pvp matches. Leo picked the third arena without hesitation. Then, he and Groruk were teleported into the stage arena, where Leo had fought Acku. When Leo and Groruk appeared on the stage, thetter was free from Leo''s grasp. He roared and yelled at the former. "Bastard! Do you know who I am?! I''m the son of Gromsell! He''s an elder of Death Pack Court! If you offend me, the entire court wille after you!" "As expected of a dog - all bark but no bite. Go ahead, idiot. Bet your lifespan when you have a chance." Leoughed and opened his system menu. Unfortunately, Leo''s ranking was higher than Groruk''s, so he had to wait for the werewolf to finish his offer first. While waiting, Leo looked at the scoreboard to check his odds. The gambling house was quick. Numbers rapidly changed as spectators had seen Leo''s abilities. The odds favored Leo. Grurok''s odds were +1,500 while Leo got -1,000. As usual, the house gave an unfair rating. "Damn! Minus a thousand?! This is a rip-off! Welp, money is money." Leo crossed his arms and waited for Grurok to finish. However, the werewolf never had a system before, and he totally ignored the floating screen in front of him. BEEP The timer ran out after five minutes of waiting. Groruk continued yelling and insulting Leo as he couldn''t move from the spot. As Groruk forfeited his right to make the bet offer, Leo had the right to force a bet. He checked the werewolf''s lifespan. 5,253 Years Leo was disappointed. He thought that the so-called UNTOUCHABLE would be an almighty powerhouse. Instead, he was just a small fry. After inspecting the werewolf''s YOL, Leo checked his. That was a lot! Heughed in a merry mood as this arena brought him wealth. Leo wagered 5,253 YOL, nning to deplete the guy''s stock. Then, he switched to the gambling house screen and bet 610,000 YOL on himself. After the wager waspleted, Leo waited for the timer to run out. The spectators continued to put their money on Leo and worsened the odds. From minus 1,000, it became minus 2,000. Nobody seemed to bet on Groruk for some reason even though his odds became +3,000. Chapter 182 Florida Man Stormed into Gun Store, Threatened Store Owner, and Robbed a Pen

Chapter 182 Florida Man Stormed into Gun Store, Threatened Store Owner, and Robbed a Pen

Chapter 182 C Florida Man Stormed into Gun Store, Threatened Store Owner, and Robbed a Pen Leo was slightly confused. He had seen them in them in their giant forms, but at the moment, they were no bigger than a human''s head. They looked like something from the Pokmon Series. Most importantly, their speech reminded Leo of the giant cat ball statue back home. The statue also loved to meow "Munya" like these guys. Discovering the kin of that statue, Leo was curious about them. He introduced himself and cupped his fist, mimicking cultivators. "Yes, I''m Florida Man. Nice to meet you, fes." The three Cathulhus saluted like modern soldiers with their tentacle arms. Their innocent eyes and happy smile showed their friendliness and carefree attitude. The floating cat "Miao Damao" waved his tentacles and showed Leo a ring made of catnip vine and leaves. He bragged, "Look, Florida Man. This is my engagement ring, munya! I bought it from the lifespan I got from your fight, munya!" Leo was taken aback. He still remembered that this guy said something about earning ten million YOL. He wondered how much the ring cost as it seemed cheap. "What did you pay for it?" "Only a million years of lifespan, munya!" "@#$!%" Leo almost swore to the Cthulhu for giving birth to this stupid variant, who just got scammed for no reason. "I hope that has hidden features or power. Otherwise" "I''m not stupid, munya!" Miao Damaoughed, "This works as a storage ring, an energy battery, and a life-saving tool, munya! As long as I charge this ring''s battery to the fullest, it can block any attack from a sage once, munya!" "A sage?" Leo was curious about the strength standard and tiers in this universe. He already learned what the mortal''s strength was, but he was still clueless about the immortal stages and beyond. "That''s right, munya. You don''t know anything about sages, munya?" Leo shook his head, "Could you exin it to me like I''m a toddler?" "Of course, munya!" Miao Damao took his time to exin the cultivation base, strength, and power scales of the universe. The lowest tier of the universe was the mortals. Their strength, cultivation methods, and standards were different, and it was impossible topare them. Some mortals were capable of using the power of "Domain" when they were only a nascent soul cultivator while many were incapable of gathering Qi. The next bottom tier was the immortals. Simr to the mortals, they had different scale and cultivation methods, such as constetion method, internal star method, or celestial body method. Xeno-based creatures also had their own ways of gaining strength, and their cultivation ranking names differed. The next stronger tier was consideredmon in this Fate Stadium. People called them "Deities". Although their foundation was unique to their own race and cultivation method, they had one thing inmon C Followers. These deities often built a country, a religion, or an organization to protect weaker immortals and mortals. These people obtained the power of faith through their good deeds, making them worthy of being called a god. As for the sage, it was a realm higher than the deities. Leo pondered as Acku mentioned something about him being a deity. He was still puzzled as he didn''t remember creating a religion. "Anyway, munya. Are you here tomission new weapons, too? You have good eyes, munya! This store makes the best immortal-killing treasures, munya!" The dwarf coughed, "Correction, Constetion-Killing weapons. They''re designed to cripple immortals with stars in their dantians." He nced at Leo and sized him up. A few secondster, he frowned as he couldn''t measure or appraise Leo''s true strength due to his weird physique. The dwarf introduced himself, "I''m Crimson Neen. You can call me Nine-Fingered-Red. Which are you from? Oheelu? Duffony? Or Snu Paradise?" Leo had a bad feeling about the world called Snu Paradise. He hoped that it wouldn''t involve something under the belly, and he didn''t want to know about the local culture. "None of those. It''s Earth." The cats froze while Nine-Fingered Red''s face twitched due to the name C It was too simr to the N-Word that they didn''t want to utter. Thetter coughed and changed the subject as he didn''t want to pry into the subject. "Ahem. Say, what are you looking for, Florida Man? Maybe, I can custom-make a weapon of your need." Leo rubbed his chin as the weapon racks and the products here all looked fancy and colorful. Instead of having only dull steel weapons, many swords, spears,nces, des, and halberds had their glows. This shop''s weapon racks had a theme. Each section was full of weapons of the same color. For example, red des, swords, and halberds were arranged close to each other while another section had simr items but with green. Leo looked around for a moment before his eyes were attracted to a ck stick in the deepest corner behind a red weapon rack. He pointed at it. "Can I see that ck stick?" Nine-Fingered Red raised his eyebrows. He wiggled his finger, and the ck stick floated toward them. "I forgot that I put that broomstick there. It''s a useless stick, though. Do you really want that thing?" Leo gave it a closer look. As a cultured man, he was attracted to a smooth and straight stick. In addition, this stick was a meter long and suitable for holding and swinging. He reached out to grab the ck stick. As soon as Leo touched it, the stick shrank and transformed into a pen. Leo liked this pen-stick, "How much for this?" The dwarf deeply sighed. He waved his hand, "100 essence stones are enough. It was a broom that I made long ago. Aside from the shrinking and erging power, it has no other perk." "What about its durability?" "Depends on the user. Inject your blood into the ink tube of the pen and try to revert it back to the broomstick. You''ll know." Curious, Leo opened the pen''s back lid. Then, he bit the tip of his index finger. He squeezed his transparent blood into the empty tube. Miao Meolord and the dwarf widened their eyes when they noticed Leo''s blood color. They broke a sweat and lowered their heads. As for Miao Damao and Kat Katerina, they didn''t notice anything. The pen absorbed Leo''s blood. Originally, it was already ck. But after taking in Leo''s blood, it got even cker. No light reflected from its surface. Leo waved it around. A few secondster, it transformed back into a straight stick. Unlike before, it didn''t look like a wooden broom or a stic broom. The stick''s surface was too smooth and sturdy to be called a broomstick. It might as well be called a metal short spear as one of its tips looked like a pen''s head. Leo tried smacking his arm and shoulder with the stick. BONK It sounded hollow on impact. However, the strike made Leo flinch as he could feel a numbing pain. He then checked the condition of the stick, wondering if something had broken. Betraying Leo''s expectation, it was intact. No sign of damage appeared on its surface. "Nice! I''ll take this, please." The dwarf shrugged, "Well, that''s to be expected. Weapons don''t make a master. Only the master makes weapons work." "Huh?" "Nothing." Leo paid the dwarf in full. He ejected 100 essence stones from his spatial ring. The dwarf was an expert. He lightly snorted and forced all ejected essence stones to float toward him. But when he noticed the quality of the stones, he faintly grinned. "Thank you for business, Your Holiness. Anything else particr you''re looking for?" "Nah, I''m happy with this." Leo slightly jerked the short spear, reverting it into a pen. He then put the pen in his suit''s inner pocket. He didn''t notice that the dwarf changed Leo''s pronoun. Due to his tight schedule, Leo bid farewell to the dwarf and cats. He stopped exploring the third floor and went to the 4th floor. . . After Leo had left, Miao Meolord and the dwarf looked at each other. They wiped away the sweat on their foreheads. "That was scary, munya." Nine-Fingered Red deeply sighed, "I think my lifespan is shortened by 10,000 years just now. Where did that MONSTERe from?! He''s definitely not a human!" "That''s what I want to know, too, munya!" While the two seniorsined about something, Damao and Katerina were puzzled. They had no idea why they were shivering in fear. "What''s the matter with you, munya?" Asked Damao. Miao Meolord deeply inhaled. He smacked the head of his little brother and yelled, "You fool, munya! THAT MONSTER is not a human! He''s." Meolord opened his mouth, but he couldn''t utter the next word. His voice got stuck in his throat. The dwarf also tried to say the word, but his voice didn''te out as well. They looked at each other as they realized something. "Power of Redaction, munya!" Meolord was shocked. The dwarf gulped. He pulled out a brown towel and wiped his pale face. He then stared at the three cathulhus. "No one tell a word about today''s encounter! No one!" Damao and Katerina were still clueless. Meolord grabbed his brother and sister-inw and whispered to them. "Never mention anything about that MONSTER to anyone if you don''t want to die, munya." "Eh? Why, munya?" "To sum it short, he''s a predator, munya!" "Predator?" Damao and Katerina still couldn''t understand. "It means, he''s the same as our master, munya!" "!!!" The duo finally realized something. They sweated bullets. . . The fourth floor of this mall was a red-light district, which Leo disliked. He skipped it to the next floor. The fifth floor was simr to what Leo had envisioned for his shopping mall. Tutoring centers and schools were the theme here. Thousands of children and teenagers of various races loitered in this ce and gathered around food stalls and resting areas. Leo walked around to admire the names of schools and training centers in this ce. "The Way of Berserker, Sentinel Rearing Center, Chess Guardians, Leveling by Snu-SnuHold up! Why is there a perverted school over here? There are children around! Dafuq?!" Leo was tempted to visit every school to get a brochure of their curriculum, except the sexual ones. After exploring the school area for an hour, Leo stumbled upon an arena. However, the surface was the arena was an 8x8 chess board. At the moment, 16 children stood on the stage as if they were chess pieces, facing off against the other team. Everybody put on helmets of their pieces. The pawns stood in front of major pieces while rooks, bishops, knights, kings, and queens positioned behind the frontline pawns. Strangely, one side was a group of human-like children, who had long monkey tails. As for the other team, they were all werewolf children. "Oh? A human chess?" Thest time Leo yed chess, his ELO was merely 1400-1500. He learned enough openings and middle-game, but his overall vision and pattern recognition still needed improvement. At the side of the stage, their parents hovered, observing the game. They also sneaked nces at their kids, cheering for them. Leo mixed in with the crowd, but he couldn''t fly. He climbed a spectator stand and sat at the back. "PAWN E4!" "PAWN E5!" The game began. Oddly enough, they were ying an international chess game. The first move of each side was normal. However, the monkey-tailed humans utilized a bad opening. "QUEEN H5!" Leo almost snickered. He slightly shook his head as this game might either end prematurely. "KNIGHT C6!" "BISHOP F3! "PAWN G6!" "QUEEN F3!" "KNIGHT F6!" The game went on. Everything looked fine as both sides hadn''t blundered any major pieces yet. But as the game went on, they started trading pieces. But instead of removing the taken piece, a stunning and disturbing event shocked Leo. The human child, who acted as a White Pawn, shed an opponent''s ck Pawn representative with a real sword. The werewolf child whimpered and opened his jaws to retaliate. However, he couldn''t bite the human child. The white pawn boy stomped on the werewolf boy and stabbed him in his chest. He gauged the heart of the wolf out andughed. The parents of the werewolf only frowned, but they didn''t bothering down to help their kids. Everybody silently observed the game without uttering a word. Leo was disgusted by this game. He stood up and was about to jump on the stage to stop this nonsense. However, a guy next to him grabbed Leo''s arm and pulled him with great force. Leo flinched as he sensed the strong force from the guy. He looked back. The person was a muscr green orc. He hushed Leo and shook his head. "Don''t interfere, human. This is a death chess for forsaken children. Don''t ruin their ritual." "Hey, a kid just died." "They are all death-row criminals." "Aren''t they just children?!" "For your standard, maybe. But for the Werewolves and Oheelians, those men are over 100 years old, and they disgraced their ancestors. This is where they give their descendants a second chance in life after the death sentence. The winning side will live on while the losers will be executed." This was a custom of this ce. Whenever the trainees or juniorsmitted great crimes and were sentenced to death, they put the prisoners on this stage. The only way to survive was to win the chess game. However, there were ws that Leo hated. "What about the dead kid that got killed during the game? Can anybody revive them?" "No. Nobody can do anything about it." "" "Before the game even starts, the match has already begun. Everybody''s roles and chess pieces are pre-chosen by the judges. The worse crimes theymitted, the weaker piece they get. The one that controls the king piece acts as their leader. As for the other pieces, they have to move ording to their king''s order no matter what." Chapter 201 Florida Man Took Flight Courses to Become First Human Pigeon. Chapter 201 Florida Man Took Flight Courses to Be First Human Pigeon. Chapter 201 C Florida Man Took Flight Courses to Be First Human Pigeon. Things settled down after Leo erected the pill factory. He no longer had a supply shortage issue. What pleased Leo the most was the gunsmith upgrade. . Gunsmith Workshop Level 12 Gunsmith Automaton (1/1) Hand Loader Automaton (1/1) Firearm Technology (5/6) Product Quality (2/6) Structure Quality (3/6) . As the tech level went up, the current distributed rifles became outdated. The mannequins stopped producing breech-loading rifles and began producing something more interesting. At the workshop, Leo stood in front of the two mannequins. They also waited for Leo''s instructions. In front of Leo was the system screen, which showed the list of firearms that Leo could build. "I guess we skip the WWII techs to the Cold War period. How nice!" AK-47, M16, Barrett M82, and Steyr AUG were avable to craft. However, unlike the previous rifles, Leo could no longer rely on sacred wood and holy lich superconductors. The system demanded Leo''s lifespan and other materials to make. From here on, Leo also needed to supply the mannequins with his blood and a weird material called Immortalium. He also had to pay the mannequins one year of lifespan for every new rifle made. "And where the hell do I get that ore or mineral?" Leo scratched his head and stared at the two idle mannequins. They tilted their heads as they didn''t know either. Realizing how useless they were, Leo gave up on them. He took the elevator to the mystic realm portal and visited his trusty advisors. . On the flying ind, the fisherman guardian "Kitten" never stopped throwing something out of the portal. Every minute, either trees or living monsters came out from the permanent portal. All materials vanished uponing out while all living beings went down the slider and fell to the canyon river. When Leo got there, he realized that he never collected the tributes from Kitten. He walked toward the portal to check the other side. However, the three presenting guardians could read Leo''s mind. They reminded Leo how he could collect the tributes. The angel uttered first. "Master, all gathered materials are automatically sent to your warehouses and granaries. You just need to head there and bring them out from the system''s temporary storage." "Oh." Leo was surprised. "I have an inventory system?" "Not that kind of inventory you''re looking for, but it is indeed an inventory system. You can''t store items in there though." "Fair enough. Anyway, I need help. Do you know where I can get Immortalium ores or whatever that is?" The angel remained silent and nced at the wolf. The Fenrir wagged his tail and smiled. "You can find them on this, woof. But you have to go further north, woof!" "North?" "Somewhere beyond the Cauliflower City, woof! Fly 100 kilometers north. You won''t miss it, woof." "" Leo nodded. He also had another reason to go there. . Entity Fate Crystal Quest C Phrase 2/13 Mission Objectives: Complete 10 tasks toplete this phrase.

Leo had finished the first main quest, and the second set appeared. Fortunately, Leo had alreadypleted most tasks. Only theplicated ones remained. The bottleneck was the earth fate crystal and the mineral depot. As the mysterious Immortalium ore might be a strategic resource that the system mentioned, securing the depot was the same as killing two birds with one stone. Leo had no reason not to explore the main continent. He agreed to the suggestion. "I guess it''s time for another adventure. By the way, do you know where the hidden earth fate crystals are?" The angel pointed south while Mu-Nyang pointed east. "One of your subordinates has it. She might give it to you if you ask her." Said Meowmeow. Mu-Nyang looked east and hinted at Leo. "Thest one should be in the middle of the ocean, munya. You might have to get to the bottom of the ocean to get it, munya." Leo smacked his forehead with his palm. He couldn''t imagine himself diving into the ocean abyss and searching for a random crystal. "That''s worse than searching for a needle in a haystack." "Want me to go search for it in your stead, munya?" Upon hearing Mu-Nyang''s suggestion, Leo was overjoyed. He readily agreed. "Then, please do. I''m already busy as I am." "NYAHAHAHA! PLAY TIME, MUNYA!" "Oi!" It was toote for Leo to retract his words. The giant Cathulhu statue vanished and left behind a sonic boom shockwave. The angel and wolf statue''s expression dulled as they had expected the cat to run away sooner orter. As for Leo, he pursed his lips. He didn''t mind that Mu-Nyang ran away from his guardian duty. He envied the cat. "Say, Meowmeow." Leo''s expression was solemn. "Yes, master?" The angel sensed the seriousness of the situation. He prepared to take action. "Can you teach me how to fly?" "Huh?" "Don''t HUH me! I know you can read my mind! I don''t know how to fly, and I want to fly, too! I WANNA BECOME A PIGEON SO THAT I CAN DROP A SHIT BOMB ON MY ENEMY''S HEAD!" "" Meowmeow facepalmed as he didn''t expect his master''s childish behavior to act up often. Still, as Leocked the fundamentals and basic skills of a cultivator, the angel decided to help him. "Flight skills can be difficult, but you should be able to do it naturally like how you breathe. First, you should treat the gravity force as a hindrance while the air is a mass of water. Then, you use your Qi to" The lesson went on. Leo sat in front of the angel statue, listening to the lecture. . . A week went by. Leo''s daily routine changed. In the early morning, he opened the shopping mall and weed new customers from themoner town. As nobody could take the role of a cashier, Leo got stuck in the mall from 6 AM to 6PM, collecting lifespan and selling pills. At 6PM, the shopping mall was closed. No worker,moner, or people from the Tang n could linger in the mall as Leo kicked them out. Afterward, for two hours, Leo always toured his domain and examined his farms, warehouses, granaries, and workshops. At 9 to 11 p.m., Leo went back to the flying ind to attend Meowmeow''s lecture. When the ss was over, Leo went back to his battle bus to sleep. He always woke up at 5AM and entered the shopping mall through the backdoor to manage the underground warehouse. At 6AM, Leo repeated the loop. When nobody caused trouble, days were slow and peaceful. Leo loved the feeling of spending boring days doing the same thing over and over. This tedious mundane lifestyle reminded him of the time when he was still a regr sryman. Unfortunately, the peaceful period was short. WHOOSH Leo teleported back from an offline battle stage to his bedroom. He just fought another shadow of an immortal and killed the guy. He nced at the reward, which he got from the fight. He opened the gacha menu and navigated to the gnosis gacha banner. At the moment, Leo had two gacha tickets as he had defeated two shadows so far. He wondered if he should draw them or stack them to draw 10+1. The discount tempted Leo. In the end, he decided to save up the tickets for the additional draw and guaranteed rate. "Alright. Time to work!" Leo went out of the bus to go to work as usual. However, this day was different. In front of Leo''s motorhome bus, Ivy, Esen, Marc, and Beatrice gathered. Behind them was apany of undead creatures. Leo didn''t fear ghosts. He stared at the crowd and frowned. He didn''t mind that Esen brought friends. However, he was dissatisfied as she never informed him. "This ain''t Halloween y''all. I have no candies for you. Also, Esen. Next time, introduce them to me first so that I can add their names to the employee list. I can''t let them roam free without permission or the Fenrir statue will eat them. He likes bones." "" Esen rolled her eyes as she couldn''t understand what Leo was referring to. She rested her hands on her hips and leaned forward. "Geezer, I need your help." Leo smirked. "Is that the attitude of someone who needs help?" "Meh, I don''t give a damn. We''re out of tea. I want more tea for age reduction! I want my people to be alive again." Leo pursed his lips and nced at Ivy, Marc, and Beatrice. Although the trio had drunk a lot of tea, their skin already turned purple. It didn''t look like the tea worked on them. On the other hand, Esen still remained a graceful t-chested high elf. She also didn''t smell like a corpse. After inspecting the crowd, Leo wondered why Esen was resurrected while the others stayed undead. He closed his eyes and recalled the difference between her and her minions. "Esen." "Yeah?" While recalling the old memory, Leo asked her. "Do you remember how I resurrected you?" "No clue." "Hmm." Leo remembered that he almost mutated her, but he managed to save her life by shoving his blood down her throat. ''Was that incident the reason?'' The corners of Leo''s mouth curved up into a faint smile. He believed that he got the answer. "Sure. But once I resurrect them, will they swear allegiance to me and be my employees for the rest of their lives?" One of the death knights at the back shouted. "If you can remove the curse, we will do anything! Even if you want us to fight overlords, we''ll do it for you!" After the knight shouted, the others followed suit. "That''s for certain!" "We take pride in our loyalty! We, the Molg Tribe, keep our promises!" Leo was satisfied with the answer. He turned his attention to Ivy, Marc, and Beatrice. "Good. But that''s not what I really want. I need something different. By the way, have you heard of an earth fate crystal? I need that for alchemy." Chapter 212 Floridians Celebrated as Elderly Florida Man Finally Lost His V Card. Chapter 212 Floridians Celebrated as Elderly Florida Man Finally Lost His V Card. Chapter 212 C Floridians Celebrated as Elderly Florida Man Finally Lost His V Card. In the battle bus, Leo sat on his bed in his bedroom while Esen sat next to him. Her eyes spun as she was still confused and embarrassed. "Hah." Leo patted the elf''s head and sighed. "Rx. I''m not gonna eat you." "W-W-We''re going to get married?! A-Are you serious about me?!" Esen flustered. "Well, if you hate the idea, we can cancel it." Leo gave her a way out as he didn''t want to force her to do something she didn''t want. However, Esen didn''t take the chance. She looked at Leo''s face and shook her head. She mustered her courage. "I-I-I''m happy you have a feeling for me." "" "I-I''ll behave from now on. I''ll learn how to be a wife. A-A-And I''ll smell like one!" Leo frowned. "Are you sure you understand what you''re talking about? Are you drunk?" "No! I''m sober!" Esen stood up and faced Leo. She closed her eyes and shouted. "I''LL DEDICATE MY BODY AND MY SOUL TO YOU! B-B-BE GRATEFUL, GEEZER!" "Hah." Leo massaged his forehead. He stood up and pulled out the staff that he got from Esen''s shadow. Then, he passed it to her. "Here." "What''s that?" "A new weapon for you for self-protection." "F-For me?" "Consider it a gift from me. I''ll do my best to get you a proper wedding ringter. Also, I need to measure your ring''s size. Show me your hands." "" Leo grabbed Esen''s hands and measured her ring fingers. The elf girl blushed and let her future husband touch her hands. After getting a rough idea of what her ring size was, Leo opened his shopping system menu and purchased a diamond ring from the system. He picked a clear gold ring with a carat diamond. DING A pair of gold diamond rings appeared in Leo''s hand. Each ring cost 1,000 YOL, which was considered cheap by Leo''s standard. Thus, he immediately used his system perk to upgrade them to the max level. DING After the chime, the gold ring changed color into rainbow. The diamond retained the same color, but it shone like a glittering star. Leo didn''t know what kind of upgrade the system gave these rings. He just wanted it to be durable enough not to withstand immortal Qi and his power. Leo nced at Esen''s face for a moment. His expression was solemn. ''Well, a beggar can''t choose. I should be d that I can get a wife in this world.'' Leo knelt in front of Esen. Then, he gently inserted the ring into her finger. He then gazed at her face and asked her properly. "I know we are from a different race, and our age gap is big. We get ourselves into this mess because of our subordinate''s stupid scheme. But since it hase to this, I promise that I''ll treasure you. I''ll make you the happiest woman in the universe Sowill you marry me, Esen?" "" Esen was in tears. Although she didn''t expect Leo''s proposal, his gesture and words moved her heart. While sobbing, she repeatedly nodded. "Y-Yes. Yesme, too. I-I don''t know why we''re getting married, b-b-but I I want to be with you forever!" Leo bitterly smiled. He felt a bit guilty since they skipped many rtionship steps. They never dated. They never confessed or expressed their love, but both of them got into this situation. But since Esen didn''t reject his proposal, Leo swore that he would properly love the elf lich. He embraced her and asked her to be sure. "Do you prefer me as I am, or do you want me to be young again?" "Erreh?" Esen realized something. Leo made so much tea of rejuvenation, but he drank a lot of it. She wondered why his physical age didn''t regress. "Can you be young again?" "Do you want me to? Or do you like old men?" Because of the topic, Esen forgot about the previous embarrassment and shyness. She revealed her thoughts. "I like you the way you are." "" Leo widely smiled. Somehow, Esen was strangely cute today. Unable to suppress his evil intrusive thoughts, Leo hugged Esen. "Let''s rehearse the wedding night." "Rehearse? Rehearse what?" Leo lewdly grinned. He pushed the divine elf down. . The morning of the next day, Leo and Esen shared the same bed. The former slept while smiling, but thetter buried her face against a pillow. Although Esen wanted to scream and throw a tantrum, she was too exhausted to move. . . Leo woke up in the afternoon. He sat up, extended his arms to stretch, and yawned. He graduated! No more V card! He felt light. His body was so energetic that he felt young again. Leo looked at the bed. Next to him, Esen was still there, sleeping peacefully. Although she was asleep, her aura twirled like a whirlpool, sucking every strand of Qi and essence into her body. Her cultivation base reached the true immortal stage, and she continued to grow stronger! Judging from this pace, she would break the limits of the immortal realm soon. Leo leaned over and kissed the forehead of the divine elf. "Sweet dream, wifey." Esen grumbled in her sleep and mumbled. "Geezer, you''re a monster." "Hahaha! Sorry. First time is a charm!" Leo got out of bed and went to the bath to take a shower. He walked past the washbasin''s mirror without paying attention. "???" Leo frowned for a moment and took two steps back. He then turned to look in the mirror. The reflection in the mirror showed the face of ate middle-aged man. He still had long hair, but half of it was ck. Secondly, his proud long braided beard seemed shorter than usual, and it was ck as well. "HUH?!" Leo touched his face and looked at his skin. The wrinkles and blemishes on his skin were gone. His muscle mass was more refined and toned. Also, his movement wasn''t as sluggish as before. Leo looked like a man in his 50s! "I''m young again?!"

How much should I charge them? 100 YOL per day? 500? No. Those men have a limited lifespan. I need to make it slightly cheap and give an illusion that their time is worth the opportunity." Leo hummed while he built the Tesseract Time Chamber on the fourth floor of his store. He designated this floor as a training ground for cultivators. In the future, he would build more facilities that offered a simr service. He also upgraded the shopping mall and other facilities to level 15. It took him a while to adjust their attribute points. . Tesseract Time Chamber (Level 15) Time Dtion (5/30) Training Facilities (2/30) Chamber Capacity (5/30) Chamber Size (3/30) . One point in time dtion increased the time chamber''s effects. ording to the system''s description, one day in reality was one hundred days inside. Every point allocated to this attribute increased the time inside the chamber by 100 days! Training Facilities were the amodations inside the chamber. The quality and quantity of facilities in the chamber grew ording to the level. The Chamber Capacity was the maximum number of visitors. At the moment, five visitors could stay in the chamber simultaneously. As for thest one, the size of the chamber was straightforward; the higher the point, the bigger the space inside the chamber. Aside from the chamber, Leo obtained two more alchemy factories, three greenhouses, two cksmith workshops, two alchemy workshops, and one gunsmith workshop. Leo didn''t think much. He built everything inside his shopping mall. At level 15, Leo''s shopping mall expanded underground. It created four new levels C B2, B3, B4, and B5. All floors could either be assigned as underground parking lots or warehouses for Leo''s goodies. For now, Leo made the new floors as his warehouses. As nobody in this world had a car, the parking lot was unnecessary. "Next, robot gacha! Here Ie!" After Leo finished fixing the facilities, he rolled the personal gacha next. DING DING DING As usual, 11 animated gacha balls showed on his screen. Unfortunately, there was no fancy gold ball this time. He got 7 grey balls and 4 blue balls. "I came here looking for copper, and I found salt" Leo was disappointed in his luck. He shed a tear of regret. "Aren''t earth fate crystals supposed to boost my freaking luck?! Howe my luck is so terrible?!" As if the system understood Leo''sint, it sent him a message. "" In short, the gacha rate was more evil than Genshin Impact, Fate Grand Order, or Honkai: Star Railbined. Even the cruelest game developers might have to kowtow to Leo''s system for this sadistic gacha system. Leo consecutively rolling super rare and ultra-rare was already a miracle. It was the system''s way of telling Leo that the earth fate crystals worked as intended. As for his crap luck, he could only me it on RNGesus. Leo gave upining. He looked at what he got. "!!!" As soon as Leo saw their roles, he almost knelt and praised Jesus. Three of the gachas came out as cashier mannequins while the other one was a warehouse manager! "HALLELUJAH!!" The manpower issues were solved. Leo didn''t have to stay in his store all day anymore. However, there was still one remaining question; could the cashiers collect customers'' lifespan in Leo''s stead? Leo summoned the four rare mannequins right away. Four pink female mannequins appeared. Three of them came out wearing a maid outfit. As for the warehouse manager, she wore a modern suit. As if they understood Leo''s intent, the three cashiers opened their system screens and showed it to Leo. . Name: Cashier A Lifespan Bnce: 0 Status: Idle . After reading their statuses, Leo understood what they could do. Leo was relieved. "Alright. Two of you should go and manage the supermarket section. As for you, go to the Tesseract Time Chamber. I''ll write y''all the job description and how much you should collect from your customers before next day''s morning." The three maids saluted and proceeded to their assigned stations. Leo turned his attention to the manager next. . Name: Warehouse Manager A Assigned Warehouse: None Status: Idle Specialty: Extend the food expiry date in the assigned warehouse by 10 days. . Her status was different than the default workers in the regr warehouses. She didn''t seem to be aborer but a supervisor. "What can you do?" The manager mannequin couldn''t speak, but she opened her system menu and typed a message for Leo. She wrote her abilities. "I can manage the shopping mall''s underground warehouses. If you assign me one of the warehouses, I can manage the local workers for you. They will be able to ess the shopping mall''s warehouses with my permission." "Oh?" "Secondly, my specialty is rted to food. I hope my work is rted to food." "You got it, girl. I trust you!" Leo immediately assigned the mannequin as the manager of the B1 warehouse. He also gave her a job moving all consumables, fruits, vegetables, immortal grasses, and pill ingredients from all warehouses and granaries to the shopping mall. The manager saluted and started working. She ran toward the mall''s elevator and descended to the B1 floor. After the four girls had left, Leo summoned the rest of the gacha workers. As usual, some of them were farmers or fighters. Leo assigned their jobs ording to their roles and sent them away. When everything was in order, Leo nced at the remaining gacha ticket. There was a guaranteed SR ticket sitting in his system inventory. "HAHAHAHA! Show me the money! COME OUT, MY SR!" Leo pressed the summon button and opened his arms. The system screen shed him with a bright golden light. When the light subsided, the result was shown. A middle-aged man carrying a broad sword behind his back came out. He wore white robes like a cultivator, but his outer cloth had a familiar emblem of the Life Sword Sect. The screen then showed the swordsman''s status. . Hua Taixu, the Sword Saint (Level 1) Rarity: Super Rare Strength: Earth Immortal Specialties: Domain of True Sword, Dimensional Cut, Librarian Biography: Hua Taixu was from the Yan Dynasty. He was a talented swordsman, who became the first immortal of the Yan Dynasty. During his journey to pursue dao, Hua Taixu defeated all local lords and challenged the authority of the emperor. He suppressed and killed countless officials during his life. But after being undefeated for centuries, Hua Taixu realized his dao. He built the Life Sword Sect and spread his knowledge to the entire world, earning him the sword saint title. After Hua Taixu ascended and became an immortal, he realized that he was a frog in a well. Alien immortals from other races defeated him one after another. Because of the consecutive losses, Hua Taixu returned to his home to retire. He married a local girl and gave birth to two sons. After the sons grew up, Hua Taixu challenged the immortal realm again. He discovered the sanctuary of strong fighters, "The Fate Stadium", and lived there. 30 yearster, Hua Taixu was trapped and was killed by Fenrir Werewolf Deity Anuraku. His soul returned to the river of karma. . Leo flinched. He didn''t expect to see the sword saint that Hua Jiashan and others worshiped. After reading his biography, Leo doubted everybody knew that Hua Taixu was dead. He felt pity for them. Still, this copy of the sword saint might be for the better. Leo also wondered how those boomers would react when they saw Hua Taixu''s face. "Let''s upgrade you first. I don''t want anybody to see you as a weak immortal." Leo touched the expressionless doll of a swordsman and upgraded him to level 9, which was the highest possible level at the moment. Hua Taixu''s aura grew. His cultivation base jumped from the first immortal stage to the true immortal rank. The doll gazed at Leo with dull eyes. His first conversation startled Leo. "Where werewolves? Werewolves stupid. Me kill werewolves!" "" Chapter 216 Florida Man Hired Monkey to Teach Fencing to Veteran Martial Artists. Chapter 216 Florida Man Hired Monkey to Teach Fencing to Veteran Martial Artists. Chapter 216 C Florida Man Hired Monkey to Teach Fencing to Veteran Martial Artists. "Tsk!" Leo clicked his tongue and turned to Hua Taixu. He made sure that the sword saint was at the max level and ordered him. "Go and stand in front of the Tesseract Time Chamber. If someone talks to you and asks you about your identity, tell them that you''re Sword Saint''s twin brother. Also, if they are swordsman, you should offer to teach them swordsmanship and whatever skills that you know." Hua Taixu slightly bowed. "Yes! Where werewolves? Me kill werewolves." "Not now, but some idiots will invade our world soon. Sharpen your swords and wait for the mobilization." "Understood. Enemy, werewolves?" "Maybe." "Good! Me, strong! Me kill werewolves!" "" Leo had a feeling that Hua Taixu''s memory might be jumbled, and this guy''s speech was affected. Hua Taixu snorted and vanished. He instantly teleported to the fourth floor of Leo''s store and stood in front of the new facility. The cashier mannequin was surprised. She shuddered and fell to her butt, but Hua Taixu helped her up. They stared at each other in silence. Strangely, the mannequin blushed. She pranced around Hua Taixu while the sword saint remained expressionless. He secretly chanted a personal sutra. ''Me, strong. Domain, protect. Me kills werewolves.'' . . As the shopping mall had been upgraded, the interior was improved by a few levels. The luxurious vinyl tiles covered all floors and emitted a soothing scent. Mild Yin and Yang Qi circted through the vents while the air conditioners kept the temperature warm. Members of the Tang n and alchemists of the Life Sword Sect sensed the changes first. They rushed out of the workshops and admired the new changes. One of the nsmen knelt and touched the wooden floor. He stroked it and drooled. "T-This isn''t just sacred wood. T-This is something else! What kind of wood is this?!" An alchemist from the Life Sword Sect also inspected the walls and the railings. As they were made from the same material, he couldn''t help but admire the shiny brown wood. "It''s different from the steel. The surface is so smooth and beautiful. This craftsmanship is too superb!" More people made amotion as they loved the gentle Qi from the air conditioners and vents. They no longer wanted to leave this ce. "I wish our lord wouldn''t kick us out at night. I want to stay in seclusion here!" "Me, too." "Me, three." Everybodymented that they couldn''t use the shopping mall as a cultivation center. Fortunately, the pylon tower provided a ce to cultivate yin-yang Qi. Thus, they had a ce to return to when they weren''t studying alchemy. While everybody admired the new interior, a few people from the lower floor suddenly made a loud noise. One of the loudest men was none other than Tiger Swordsman, who patrolled the store to maintain order. "SWORD SAINT! ARE YOU SWORD SAINT HUA TAIXU?!" Tiger Swordsman had seen Hua Taixu''s portraits and paintings from various books. When he noticed the real deal, he was astonished. Hua Taixu remained expressionless. He crossed his arms and stared at Tiger Swordsman. "You!" "Y-Y-Yes, ancestor Hua?" "A swordsman, you?" "Y-Yes. My Daoist title is Tiger Swordsman. I was raised as an orphan ve from birth so I don''t have a name." "You,e. Me train you. You strong!" "???" Without waiting for Tiger Swordsman''s answer, Hua Taixu grabbed him by the pants and dragged him into the time chamber. The cashier mannequin followed after the two. She waved her hands around and showed a signboard that she had written a few minutes ago. The signboard said [Entrance Fee C 10 Years of Lifespan per day per person.] Hua Taixu nced at the signboard and nodded. He pointed at Tiger Swordsman. "He pays. We train. He strong!" Tiger Swordsman was taken aback by Hua Taixu''s style of speech. He tried to resist, but he couldn''tpete against the raw strength of a true immortal. In the end, Tiger Swordsman was forced to be the first customer of the time chamber while Hua Taixu apanied him as a personal mentor. . The sighting of Hua Taixu quickly spread across the domain. Tang Xuan, Hua Jiashan, and people from the Life Sword Sect heard the rumor. They rushed to the fourth floor of the store to visit the time chamber. Unfortunately, the cashier mannequin stopped them. She raised another signboard to inform them of the facility''s rules. [Only five visitors can enter the Tesseract Time Chamber at once.] [Entrance Fee C 10 Years of Lifespan per day per person.] The mannequin then pointed at a whiteboard, which she had updated the current users in the time chamber. [Current visitors: 2] Everybody was stunned. The group contemted what this facility was for and hesitated to ask the automaton. Tang Xuan and Hua Jiashan were more decisive than the rest. They offered to pay their lifespan to enter to time chamber so that they could see the rumored sword saint. "I''ll pay the fee." "I''m going in there, too." The cashier collected the payment and opened a way for the duo to enter. She also updated the visitor number''s status to 4. Tang Xuan and Hua Jiashan entered the facility one after another. They silently greeted each other with their eyes, but they didn''t chat. After all, they had other purposes here. The existence of the sword saint was closely rted to Hua Jiashan and Tang Xuan. Hua Jiashan was the sword saint''s direct descendant while Tang Xuan was Hua Taixu''s junior. Thus, they had a reason to visit the man. Upon entering the facility, they found themselves in an empty hall. Everything in the room was in white and there was no sun, walls, nt, or any lifeform other than the people inside. Next to the entrance door, a series of modern gym equipment was there. Next to the gym were five small rooms, which featured bedrooms and restrooms. There was also a dummy area and an altar, which provided an endless flow of elemental Qi to the environment. Hua Taixu looked back and found two new guys. He nodded at them. "Come! I train you. You strong!" Hua Jiashan wryly smiled. He didn''t remember that his ancestor was this young. Also, this person spoke in a colorful way, which he didn''t recognize. "Sir, are you a descendant of sword saint Hua Taixu?" Asked Hua Jiashan. Hua Taixu snorted. "Me, sword saint! Me, your grandfather!" "!!!" Hua Jiashan couldn''t believe it. He repeatedly shook his head. "If I remember correctly, Grandfather is already over 2,000 years old. B-But you look quite young" Tang Xuan inserted himself into the conversation. He cupped his fist and bowed 90 degrees. "Junior Tang Xuan greets Ancestor Hua Taixu! It has been a while!" Hua Taixu paused for a moment. He stared at Tang Xuan and frowned. "You. Not swordsman." "Err, no. I''m an alchemist, not a swordsman." "No sword skill, useless man. Me train you. You train sword!" "Eh?" Hua Taixu grinned and activated his sword domain. Then, a million swords emerged from the ground and transformed the whitend into a sword graveyard. "Grab sword! Me fight you! You get strong!" "Huh?" Without waiting for Hua Jiashan or Tang Xuan to react, Hua Taixu grabbed one of the swords and lunged at them. "WAIT! SENIOR!" "DAMMIT, GRANDFATHER!" It was toote for them to leave as the entrance door was locked from the outside. Tiger Swordsman, Hua Jiashan, and Tang Xuan would get stuck in this chamber for 500 days and get beaten up by the sword saint. Chapter 217 Florida Man Mined Breast Milk With Horses And Made Chemical Weapon. Chapter 217 Florida Man Mined Breast Milk With Horses And Made Chemical Weapon. Chapter 217 C Florida Man Mined Breast Milk With Horses And Made Chemical Weapon. "Smash!" "SMASH!" Taxi, Ricardo, and their teampleted a round trip and carried some Immortalium ingots over. They loaded the ingots into the local warehouse. Then, they changed shifts with the others. A new team was formed, and they traveled north to collect another batch of resources. As soon as the ingots arrived, warehouse mannequins got to work. They coordinated with the new automaton manager and directly transported the ingots to the shopping mall''s underground warehouse. As Leo had prepared for this process, he left behind several barrels of his urine and a bucket of his saliva. The mannequins dipped every ingot in the barrels and dried them. The ingots soon changed color from ck to white as they were upgraded. When more white ingots umted, the gunsmith workshop''s mannequins stopped working and rode the elevator down. They collected the avable resources and returned to their working stations. Then, they began crafting new weaponry. The logistic chain was established. Without the need for Leo''s guidance, the automatons worked non-stop. The gunsmiths weren''t the only ce that got busy. The new facilities, namely the cksmith workshops, began crafting cold weaponry. Leo watched the cksmith mannequins hammering mysterious white metal. He waited for them to finish their first creation. It took them only one hour to finish crafting a broadsword. The workers passed a white broadsword to Leo for inspection. Leo received the sword. At the same time, he received a notification message. [Your cksmith Workshop Level 15 has created Broadsword of Goddess Blood.] "Heh. It changes from prophet''s breast milk to crystalized milk. After it bes an ingot, it changes its name to goddess milkium ingots. But when it bes a sword, it turns into goddess blood sword." Leoughed at the constant changes during the process. He wondered how many people would realize the origins of this sword. He flipped it around and swung it. As Leo didn''t exert his Qi or force, his swing looked amateurish and weak. However, the forces behind each swing cut through the air and left behind deep marks on the walls and the ground. Fortunately, the shopping mall level 15 came with an auto-repair feature. The damaged floor and walls were gradually repaired. "I wonder how strong this sword is I wish I had someone to tell me." Leo thought of Hua Jiashan. However, the guy in question was still a mortal. Leo doubted that he had the qualification to evaluate the sword. After thinking of Hua Jiashan, the face of Hua Taixu came to Leo''s mind. "Oh, right. I have that sword saint. But that guy''s speech is kinda" Hua Taixu was not reliable due to his damaged conversation abilities. Leo thought of other people next. Sierra didn''t seem to be well-versed in swords. Taxi and Ricardo were monster beasts, so they didn''t rely on external weapons. Tang Xuan was also a mortal, and his main expertise was alchemy. The remaining options were Esen and her minions. . Leo returned to his battle bus to find Esen''s subordinates. He wasn''t disappointed. In the lobby, Marc and Beatrice sat at a coffee table and enjoyed their snacks. They recently came out of their seclusion to take a break. Both elves managed to digest ten thousand years'' worth of gun knowledge. Leo approached them and showed them the newly made sword. "Can you guys evaluate its worth and its power? Is this good?" Leo was embarrassed to utter the sphemous words. The sentence "Is it good?" was known as a toxic way to flex a rare item in gacha-rted games. Marc widely smiled and picked up the broadsword. He raised it and measured it from the hilt. "Your Majesty, where did you get this? This is awesome!" Leo was slightly taken aback by the new pronoun. "I''m a king, now?" "Yes. You are going to marry our empress, so technically you will be our emperor!" "I see." Beatrice slightly opened her eyes and revealed her abyssal gaze. She scanned the sword for a moment before she closed her eyes. "That''s a nice sword." Uttered Beatrice. "It''s good for dismantling god''s souls." "How did you know?" "It has the scent of goddess blood in it. It must have been made from milkium or something simr." Leo was impressed by Beatrice''s knowledge. It seemed that she was wiser than her colleagues. "What''s special about Milkium? How do you know about it?" Asked Leo. "We used to live on another. I also was a part of a royal academy, and I had one of these swords before." "Oh. Is itmon in your hometown?" "No. It''s reserved for the top student of the year. In my case, it got confiscated when Her Majesty and I were expelled and executed here." "My condolence." "It happened long ago. I don''t mind." "About its power, can you describe it?" "Yes." Beatrice described how the sword was made for young immortal elves to protect themselves. Every weapon made from Milkium was capable of killing gods and canceling their power. Because of its power, the divine elves confiscated the weapons and reserved them for their trustworthy soldiers and noble children. Leo and Marc attentively listened to Beatrice''s lecture. When she finished, she sighed as if she was mentally exhausted. "I talk too much today. Please excuse me. I''m not used to speaking more than 100 words a day." "Understandable. I used to speak less than 100 words a day myself." Leo smiled at Beatrice and turned to Marc. "I assume you both digest the pills properly, right?" Marc repeatedly nodded. "Yes, your majesty! My cultivation base is already at the true immortal stage. I''m a step away from attaining godhood, but I don''t have a vessel yet. Once I have at least 100 vessels or worshipers, I can be a deity!" "Good for you." Leo didn''t understand anything Marc said. He wryly smiled and pointed at the sword. "You''re a swordsman, right? The sword is for you." "EH?!" Marc was shocked. Beatrice also raised her eyebrows. "Beatrice, I want you to go to the shopping mall''s fifth floor and collect every broadsword from the cksmiths. Distribute them to your people first. From now on, you will be in charge of managing them, okay?" Beatrice revealed a faint smile for a moment. She nodded. "Understood, Your Majesty." Marc was also excited. "Your majesty, are you making more of these?!" Leo shrugged. "I have plenty of milkium ingots. My golems are making them at the moment." "H-How many can you make, your majesty?" "As many as I want." "!!!" Marc was speechless while Beatrice couldn''t suppress her smile. Both were astonished by Leo''s wealth. "We''ll visit the cksmiths at once." Beatrice excused herself. "Okay. Take care. Also, wait for the new guns. I''m nning to arm you with swords and guns. Don''t forget to review your memory and gun knowledge. You''ll need it." Leoughed and walked along the hallway. He entered his room to check on his wife. Marc and Beatrice looked at each other. Their expressions were bright. "His majesty is kind!" Marc admired Leo. "He is." . . Beatrice and Marc visited the cksmiths as ordered. They collected every broadsword the automatons made and distributed them to their colleagues. However, there was a problem. As most of them weren''t familiar with swords, they returned the weapons. Instead, they asked Beatrice if they could ask for a different weapon, such as staffs, canes, scythes, or spears. Beatrice acted as their liaison. She visited the cksmiths and asked the automatons to make different weapons for them. At first, the automatons rejected the order as Beatrice was not their master. Fortunately, the manager was there, and she convinced the cksmith workers to ept the order. The coordination went smoothly this time. The cksmiths stopped making swords, but they created customized weapons for Esen''s subordinates. Chapter 224 Florida Man Introduced New Career Choice to Female Teenagers – Lithium Miner. Chapter 224 Florida Man Introduced New Career Choice to Female Teenagers C Lithium Miner. Chapter 224 C Florida Man Introduced New Career Choice to Female Teenagers C Lithium Miner. Leo and Esen left their bus after a good sleep. Esen made her way to the white tree array to check on the formation. As for Leo, he hyped himself and nned to do some new quests. . Entity Fate Crystal Quest C Phase 3/13 Mission Objectives: Complete 10 tasks toplete this phase.

The missions were tougher in this phase. Many quests seemed impossible for Leo at the moment. For example, Leo had no means of essing or invading another yer''s home. In addition, the Earth Fate Crystal tutorial was still ongoing, and the progress was barely halfway topletion. However, nothing was impossible for Leo. As he had recently upgraded the shopping mall from level 10 to 15, his system unlocked many new buildings. Leo opened his domain system menu and browsed the list of the new buildings. Then, he widely grinned. . Altar of War Gate Size (0/25) Transferable Personal (0/25) Distance (0/25) Cooldown Timer (0/25) Price C 10,000 YOL Cannot be built in Shopping Mall. . Tavern of Heroes Hospitality Worker Automaton (0/25) Tavern Size (0/25) Max Visiting Friends (0/25) Amodations (0/25) Price C 10,000 YOL Can be built in Shopping Mall. . Military Boot Camp Drill Sergeant Automaton (0/25) Camp Capacity (0/25) Facilities (0/25) Training Speed (0/25) Price C 10,000 YOL Can be built in Shopping Mall. .

Fate Crystal Radar Operator Automaton (0/50) Detection Range (0/50) Price C 1,000 YOL Cannot be built in Shopping Mall. . These five buildings were the highlight of the newest upgrades. Aside from these new buildings, the rest were alchemy workshops, warehouses, granaries, farms, a new apartment, and small houses that Leo already had. Leo rearranged the granaries in his domain. He pressed the [Move] button and grouped them behind the shopping mall so that thend behind Gao Yan and Wu Buyi''s houses was empty. Then, he erected new houses and an apartment in the area and upgraded them to level 15. RUMBLE Instantly, buildings appeared out of thin air and firmly upied the elevated hardened ground. Leo didn''t stop there. He erected new warehouses and granaries to increase his storage rooms. Two new farms extended to the west and east of the southern agriculture district. Moreover, two alchemy workshops were added to the shopping mall''s fifth floor. After Leo hadpleted the minor buildings, he moved on to the main course. He started with the facilities that could be added to the shopping mall first. Life Force Casino, Military Boot Camp, and Tavern of Heroes appeared on the fourth floor, upying the rooms next to the time chamber. As usual, these facilities looked small from the outside. But after Leo had upgraded them to level 15 and allocated some points, the interior expanded, which was capable of hosting a thousand visitors at once with ease. . Tavern of Heroes Level 15 Hospitality Worker Automaton (3/25) Tavern Size (5/25) Max Visiting Friends (2/25) Amodations (5/25) . Military Boot Camp Level 15 Drill Sergeant Automaton (3/25) Camp Capacity (10/25) Facilities (2/25) Training Speed (0/25) . Life Force Casino Level 15 Hospitality Worker Automaton (3/25) Facility Quality (5/25) Security (5/25) Amodations (2/25) . The upgrade cost of these three facilities was painful. One level cost 10,000 years of lifespan. Thus, raising everything to the max level required 450,000 years of lifespan. Leo didn''t fret as he had plenty to squander. He was no longer scrapped for a year of lifespan like in his early days as his side hustler business got more popr during these few days. More migratingmoners continued to show up and moved to the west slum district. The town''s size continued to expand, and the outskirts of the town already reached the outer gate of the Magpie City. As new people showed up, they got interested in Leo''s shopping mall and became his customers by default. In addition, the people from the Tang n were richer than themoners. They always queued in front of the supermarket section and waited for the new batch of poison grain pills or poison liquid to enter the shelves. Then, they always purchased them all. With these guys around, Leo didn''t need to work as hard as in the past. He just needed to expand and maintain the order around here. Unfortunately, Leo didn''t get to enjoy his SIM session for long. While he was ying with the system, one of the death knights approached Leo and informed him of the visitors. "Your Majesty. A quasi-immortal has brought many young mortals here to see you. He said something about giving you a gift as a tribute." "A new customer? Well, where are they? Guide me to them!" Leo was enthusiastic as he never hated new rich customers. He wondered how many cultivators he could scam on this asion. . . Murong Qi and his people still lingered in front of the store. Some of them eyed the floating crystal tower behind the parking lot, which was the source of the yin-yang Qi in this domain. Everybody secretly cultivated and absorbed Qi from the environment. Even though the death knights forced them to wait here for hours, none of themined. After all, the dense Qi in this area was thicker and better than the mystic realms that they had been. While everybody cultivated in earnest, one of the death knights called them over. "His Majesty Florida Man is here! Kneel and pay respect to the Holy One!" "Huh?" Murong Qi and his followers were taken aback that the elf identified his lord as a king or an emperor. Had it been normal circumstances, Murong Qi would have never bowed to others. However, the elf was an immortal. Murong Qi had no power to argue or protest. Obediently, Murong Qi knelt on one knee and cupped his fist. He lowered his head the same way he paid respect to Yan Xiang. Seeing their sect leader kneel, his followers copied him. Everybody behind Murong Qi paid respect to Leo. "Murong Qi and his followers greet Your Majesty! May you be healthy and live in prosperity for 10,000 years!" "" Leo wasn''t used to being treated as an emperor. He coughed to hide his nervousness and embarrassment. "Ahem! Are you moving here like Tang Xuan and others as well? Or are you here to visit my store? What''s your name?" Murong Qi looked up and gazed at Leo''s face. He tried to measure Leo''s cultivation base. Unfortunately, no matter how Murong Qi looked into it, Leo''s aura was no different from a soul formation cultivator or other mortals. He doubted that was Leo''s true strength. ''I see. He must have hidden his true cultivation base. An able rich man never unts his wealth! A true expert never shows his strength. This must be the case.'' Murong Qi introduced himself and got to the point. "I''m the sect master of the Joyous Yin-Yang Sect, Your Majesty. The reason I''m here is that I wish toe and pay homage to the new lord. I''ve also brought you some gifts as a tribute." Murong Qi looked back and showed him his followers. A thousand pretty maidens behind him looked up and beamed Leo with a bright smile. "These girls are the finest disciples of my sect! I would like to offer them to you, Your Majesty. They are good at housework, chores, and bed work. I''m sure you will like them-" Before Murong Qi could finish his sentences, Leo rolled his eyes and interrupted him. "Send those bitches back to the lithium mine they belong. We don''t wee underage prostitutes here. Only underage miners and farmers are allowed!" "Eh?" Chapter 230 Florida Man Called Cops Claiming Mad Scientist Stole His Identity and Body. Chapter 230 Florida Man Called Cops iming Mad Scientist Stole His Identity and Body. Chapter 230 C Florida Man Called Cops iming Mad Scientist Stole His Identity and Body. "His Majesty is" "Isn''t that" On top of the parking lot building, elves and white-haired people from the Molg Tribe all wore the Florida Domain''s uniform, aka the ck suits, pants, shirts, and leather shoes from the clothing stores. Esen''s group had been observing thebat in the sky, and they witnessed Leo using their necromancy skills. Everybody was so astonished that they had goosebumps. Ivy smirked and rallied her colleagues. "Are you going to cower here and let His Majesty do all the work?! What are we, freeloaders? Are your necromancy skills for show?" "WHAT?!" The former undead warriors were offended. "WHAT DID YOU SAY, IVY?!" "I''m saying we shouldn''t be sitting here idly! Let''s follow the lord and get rid of those invaders!" Except for Esen and Beatrice, everybody''s expressions turned dark. As their passion was ignited, their killing intent soared. Seizing this momentum, Ivy asked permission from Esen. "Your Majesty, let''s go and help His Majesty!" Esen lightly snorted. She waved her hand. "Go. But leave Beatrice and Marc here." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ivy turned around and shouted, "YOU HEARD HER, BOYS! MOVE OUT!" The 100-man unit took flight. Each carried an M16 with them, and they flew in an arrow formation, heading toward one of the descending battleships. The battleship reacted to their approach. All cannons and guns pointed at them and unleashed bullet hell. As energy bullets rained from the sky, the former undead warriors pointed their rifles at the iing energy cannon balls and pulled the triggers. ck lightningsers shed and pierced through the approaching energy balls, detonating them upon contact. The elves didn''t stop there. Even though they were astonished by the firepower, they kept firing at the battleship''s deck and cannons. Some of theser beams pierced through the hull, but a few hit the citadel. A chain reaction ensued as explosions erupted. The team didn''t celebrate after shooting down the entire gigantic spaceship. They frowned as they noticed several thousand crewmates flying out of the battleships while carrying guns, swords, spears, canes, and rocketunchers. A thousand colorful domain domes expanded and ovepped with the other domains. Then, the elven immortals revealed their power. "SOUL DOMAIN, RESTRAINTS!" "SOUL DOMAIN, QI SEAL!" "SOUL DOMAIN, FEEBLE!" A soul domain was an exclusive power of immortals. When activated, everybody in the domain besides the caster and their allies would be affected without fail. The only way to escape Soul Domain''s range and abilities was to have a superior cultivation base or unique artifacts. Debuff magic caught Ivy and her team. Everybody suddenly felt sluggish as they couldn''t use Qi. Moreover, they had a hard time breathing. Still, none of the debuff domain abilities disabled their ability to pull the gun''s triggers. While falling, they aimed at the casters and fired. BANG BANG BANG Even without Qi, the default bullets still transformed into ckser beams. A hundredsers shed and hit a hundred targets in unison. The shot crewmates didn''t even realize what had hit them. Their bodies and their souls were disintegrated into dust because of the ck tribtion thunderbolts. After the 100 elven crewmates vanished, a hundred domains lost their effects. Ivy''s toon recovered some of their strength. Ivymanded the team. "Death knights! Switch weapons to death swords! You will target their domains and destroy them! As for others, avoid using a domain during chaos!" Targeting the domes was one of many strategies to kill an immortal. If a soul domain was forcefully destroyed, the caster would naturally be hit with a bacsh. They would lose half of their Qi in their dantian and have their inner organs crushed by the bacsh pressure. Ivy had a lot of experience in battlefields. In a chaotic fight where many people were involved, using any domain ability was the same as offering their heads to their enemies to shoot. Naturally, their domains would be the first to be targeted as it was easier to destroy. However, the crewmatescked battle experience. They used their domains too soon. CLANK SHING The death knights dispersed and brought out their ck swords. They shed at the empty air in front of them. However, each sh shattered the air in front of them. Like shattered sses, severalyers of the domain copsed. Only the outeryers of wider energy domes remained. Over 500 elves that had abandoned the battleship vomited blood in unison. They fell from the sky like mosquitoes being sprayed with pesticides. Unfortunately, Ivy''s opponents weren''t just the crewmates from a battleship. Two more battleships followed the destroyed one and sprayed bullets at them. 16 of the energy balls directly hit Ivy and several death knights. The cannonballs exploded! The direct hit sent all victims flying and falling like a ragdoll. "ARCHLICH IVY!!" The toon panicked. They turned around and found the assants from above. PEW PEW PEW Following the battleships were the drones and unmanned jets. They also unleashed their anti-domain machine guns at them. PU PU Instantly, half of the toon got hit in the chest! They fell from the sky! "NOOO!!" One of the grim reapers roared and activated his domain. He summoned a ck scythe and swung it toward one of the battleships. SWUA The reaper could sense feedback from his domain as several hundred souls inside the battleship were cut in half and destroyed. CLANK Unfortunately, using a domain during the confusion had a consequence. One of the drones shot his domain and destroyed it in one hit. The grim reaper coughed blood and lost his ability to maintain flight. He slowly fell to the ground. But as the grim reaper and the survivors were in despair, Ivy bellowed. "IDIOTS! DON''T USE YOUR DOMAIN! BELIEVE IN HIS MAJESTY!" Ivy and the people who got shot down earlier flew back up. One of them rushed to support the injured grim reaper. White smoke still came out from their ck suits and clothes. However, none of them was seriously injured. They only got a few burns on their skins or faces. The uniform protected them from the bullets and the energy cannonballs earlier! The grim reaper came back to his senses. He lowered his head in shame and embarrassment. "I-I''m sorry,mander." "It doesn''t matter!" Ivy snorted. "Believe in His Majesty''s blessings and protection! He blesses us with these godly artifacts. We mustn''t let him down!" "OOOOOH!!" Everybody regained morale. They restored their formation and started kiting small drones and jets, acting as decoys and targets. . . Leo nced at Ivy''s toon in the sky. He let out a sigh of relief that the invader''s weaponry was ineffective against his domain''s uniforms. But this didn''t change the flow of the battle. He looked up and counted the number of battleships. They were endless! "This is going to take forever." Leo grumbled. He wished that he still had the newbie protection power during his early days. "System, can I collectpensation from the invaders now?" DING In short, Leo had to find the one leading this mess and grab him to his domain. Leo swept his gaze over therge battleships and the motherships, searching for the one in charge. As Leo kept looking, the corner of his eyes noticed a long angel, floating in the void behind the motherships and looking down at him and his people. Strangely, that person had the same face as Meowmeow, the statue. Moreover, Leo''s heart was tinged with difort. "That guy Why do I hate him so much?" . . The ck-winged angel in space was Overlord Mao Miaomiao. He indeed had the same face as the guardian statue Meowmeow. His eyes met with Leo''s. He sneered at thetter. "I''vee here to find an imposter, but I found the original! HAHAHAHA! That pitiful brat manages to survive, I see. Well, I owe you my gratitude. Your parents created a very nice vessel! Too bad it''s too good for you. Hahahaha!" Mao Miaomiao burst intoughter while he circted his Qi. His aura expanded as he revealed his true cultivation base. Immortal Deity Sage Entity It reached the realm of Karmic Sovereign! "Admire this power, brat! This is your parents'' hard work! You must savor it and memorize it well since you won''t get to see it again!" Mao Miaomiao raised his hand and created a 666,666 km-long sword. He grabbed the hilt and was about to cut the entire in half. "NOT SO FAST, MAO MIAOMIAO!!" Meowmeow suddenly appeared in front of the angel and punched him in the face. The sword shattered while the angel was knocked back 20,000 kilometers. Mao Miaomiao smirked and wiped his mouth. He spat out transparent blood and sneered at the statue. "Oh, you. I remember you. That stupid crow pet of that brat bes his shadow. What a loyal pet!" "Bastard! Return Leo''s body!" Mao Miaomiao snickered. "Come and take it if you can!" Meowmeow bellowed and transformed into a ck phoenix. He breathed rainbow me toward the angel. The angel sneered and swatted it away. He then clenched his fist and gathered Qi in his hand. A rainbow aura gathered in Overlord Mao''s fist. He then threw a punch toward Meowmeow. BOOM A rainbow beam sted out of Mao Miaomiao''s fist and hit Meowmeow''s chest. The ck phoenix shattered! "AHAHAHAHAHA! IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO, LITTLE CROW?!" ck me rekindled and emerged on top of Overlord Mao. The me formed the phoenix''s mouth. Then, Meowmeow swallowed the overlord whole. Mao Miaomiao''s expression changed. His body turned blue as he transferred his entire body and soul into another dimension. Then, he teleported 1,000 kilometers away. Meowmeow turned around and gave chase. The overlord clicked his tongue andined. "ying catch? Fine! How long can you keep chasing me while you''re getting further and further away from your master, I wonder?" "" The game of tag in space started while Leo and hisrades fended off the invaders. Chapter 231 Ohio Man Sent Death Threat to Doctor Who Stole Florida Man’s Kidneys.

Chapter 231 Ohio Man Sent Death Threat to Doctor Who Stole Florida Mans Kidneys. ?

Chapter 231 C Ohio Man Sent Death Threat to Doctor Who Stole Florida Man''s Kidneys. Being invincible and indestructible inbat was useful in chaotic battlefields. However, not everything was well-protected when the invaders outnumbered the defenders. Battleships and unmanned drones quickly bypassed the defenders and bombarded the shopping mall and other buildings. Their bullets andsers hit Gao Yan''s house and the granaries. Faint barriers appeared, protecting all buildings within the domain. However, theyers of barriers slowly cracked as the anti-domain guns wore down the basic defensive barriers of Leo''s buildings. Leo observed the situation and deeply pondered. He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness to his dantian universe, checking a few system skills that he obtained from the shadows. ''Oh, I have this.'' One second in reality was 1,000 seconds (16 minutes) in Leo''s pocket universe. He found what he needed. Leo pulled out the pen that he had bought from Nine-Fingered-Red of the Fate Stadium. He injected his Qi into it. FFFFKRRRSHZZZ The pen transformed into a spear covered in rainbow sma energy. From an onlooker''s perspective, Leo was holding a light spear with a bare hand. VRAU VRAU Leo waved the spear around. The broom of the dwarf fit Leo''s left hand while his right hand held the boom stick of Florida Singrity. He looked up and swept his eyes over the countless burning drones, jets, and battleships. The rain of fire painted the sky in orange. "...Domain." SHING Leo swung his sma spear like a sword once. However, none of the airships, jets, or drones in the sky were harmed. Instead, hostile elves and werewolves in the premise of 100 kilometers copsed. White smoke came out from the victim of Leo''s mysterious domain. They slipped through the gaps of the ships and gathered toward Leo. Leo''s chest was the eye of a whirlpool, sucking everything into his body. DING DING Leo snorted and retracted the light spear''s energy. He put the pen back in his pocket and shifted his attention to the unmanned drones and jets. "What kind of power should I use against those robots? EMP? Is there anybody that can use EMP or something simr?" Leo closed his eyes and searched for the right skills. While he was at it, he scanned through the new names in his system menu. Several names of the overlords showed up. ''Milo, Max, JackJack Ingof? Jacking off? Pfft. Who named this mofo? Oh, well Huh?'' Leo sorted the list by the strength of the shadows, so the system menu would show the strongest person first. But after the list was sorted, Leo found a familiar name. Dr. Mao, the Devil ''Mao? Doctor Mao? Where have I heard this name before?'' While looking at the name and the portrait of Overlord Mao Miaomiao, his heart raced, and he coughed. His face reddened, and his blood pressure rose. He didn''t know why, but he was angry. ''Do I know this guy?'' . . Ohio Man''s Simba received a new transfer order from Ester''s mother again. She ordered him to assist Overlord Lucky toy siege against a colony of Cathulhu. Moreover, the main forces of the elves were also there as they were about to confront Overlord Xiaomao and his cats. "Here we go again." Simba shook his head and deeply sighed. He hated the elves and their warmongering nature. "Again, dear?" "Yes. Again. They never stop even though Overlord Xiaomao alone can take on a million entities by himself. He''s as strong as a karmic sovereign. Why haven''t they learned?!" Ester bit her lower lip. She circted her Qi into the entity fate crystal in her chest. Then, a vision appeared in her mind. shes of events revealed the possible future. Branches of potential oues were right before her eyes. After calcting the future, Ester revealed what she had seen. "One of my sisters broke through. Ellen has be a karmic sovereign like Overlord Mao and Overlord Kishin. Mother might have thought that Ellen could take on Overlord Xiaomao with Sister Ellen''s help." "Ellen? The 7th sister of yours?" The matriarch of the divine elves gave birth to many promising daughters. Esen was the eldest while Ester was the 2nd. However, because of the infighting andpetitiveness of the royal court, none of them was on friendly terms. "Yes. She''s a cultivation maniac. She often stole other sisters'' cultivation resources, but nobody could do anything to her because of her tyrannical strength and unique dao. She can erase anybody with negative karma. Also, she already killed three of our sisters I think the queen is keeping her as a backup." "" Simba had been with the Elf royalties for a long time. He knew that the "mother" hated her daughters the most. He had proof, but he couldn''t say it. He also knew why the "mother" kept her daughters around, and it was extremely repulsive. "I gotta go. Take care while I''m not around, Ester." "Yeah. Come back safely, Simba." The husband and wife kissed. Then, Simba touched his face with his palm and transformed into one of the Fenrir werewolves. He teleported away. After Simba had gone, Ester bitterly smiled. She turned around and gazed at her house. "Time to clean, I guess. He''ll be fine." Ester quickly cleaned the house and let her kid y in the yard. She hummed and admired the sparkling clean house. Then, she shifted her gaze toward the garage, where Simba usually tinkered with some artifacts there. "Ah, that ce is getting stinky. I should surprise him." In the past, Simba always told Ester not to enter his workshop as it was dangerous. Ester heeded his warning and respected Simba''s privacy. However, Simba was not a clean person. He often forgot to clean his workshop. Thus, Ester always nagged him to do it himself. As Simba neglected his workshop''s hygiene for too long, Ester nned to remove some dust. Entering the workshop, Ester found a workshop desk, a furnace, a pill cauldron, an anvil, and strange machines. Aside from the craftsman''s tools, she didn''t see anything special but dirt and ck dust. Ester''s face darkened. "Simba, youzy skunk! I told him to clean this ce, but he never did. Oh, boy." Ester waved her finger, creating a strong wind. The air cirction blew all the dust into the sky. After removing the dust, Ester brought a wet towel. While tidying the furniture there, Ester stumbled upon a framed photo of Simba and his family. Ester giggled and admired her husband when he was young. She picked the photo to clean it. But as Ester picked up the photo, a key slipped out from the back of the frame. "Huh?" Ester picked up the bronze key. "What''s this for?" Curious, she looked for a ce to use the key. She didn''t need to look for long as the workshop desk''s drawer had a keyhole of a simr size. Ester used the key and opened the drawer. When she pulled it open, she found a stack of document papers in a folder. Thenguage of the papers was strange to her. She couldn''t read it. However, among the documents, an old photo of an Asian man was clipped to a paper. "???" Ester frowned as she had seen the face of this man somewhere before. Her curiosity was piqued. "I shouldn''t use this, but please forgive me, Simba." Ester opened her status window and browsed a lifespan shop system. She scrolled through the list to find the auto-trante function for Simba''s nativenguage. Earthling Linguistic Knowledge C One Million Years of Lifespan Ester grinned and purchased it. Then, a flood of knowledge entered her mind. When she looked at the papers again, she could finally read them. "That''s better!" Ester reread the document with the photo of an Asian man. "Professor Mao Miaomiao, CEO and the owner of Immortal Cloning Incorporate" Ester flipped the documents and read everything. The more she read, the more she was horrified. These were the records of human experiments, which were done by the professor and his assistants. They adopted countless orphans and homeless children to theirbs and experimented on them. She finally recognized the professor He had the same name as the infamous karmic sovereign overlord Mao Miaomiao! She couldn''t stop anymore. Ester kept reading. Among the documents, she found photos of many scientists with a tribal tattoo on the back of their hands. Their unique green eyes were also identical to the eyes of divine elves. "Wait, these people in the documents aren''t even humans! I remember those tattoos! They''re divine elves!" In shock, Ester flipped the pages and checked the documents with the photos again. She also nced at the family photo of Simba. The white boy in the picture might look like a human. However, his green iris and his sharp eyes couldn''t fool her anymore. This boy had a divine elf''s blood in his veins! Moreover, the parents all had elven tattoos on the back of their hands. They were elves! But something didn''t make sense. Ester rescanned the documents again to recheck what she might have missed. And indeed, she missed one notable fact of these strange documents. One of the papers had the details of a certain test subject whose face was the same as the boy in Simba''s photo. There was also a terrifying note at the corner of the paper. . Test Subject''s Name: Leonardo Ariel Call Sign: LEO DNA Compatibility: OL-XM, OL-LK, OL-AP, OL-AS, and OL-ME Dominant DNA: OL-ME, OL-AP Cultivation Ceiling Potential: Entity or Karmic Sovereign Professor''s Note: MOTHER, transfer my soul into this body. Kill the rest of the scientists and test subjects. . That wasn''t the end of the document. Behind the personal information of this boy, there was Simba''s handwriting. ''Rest in peace, brother. Thank you for saving my life. I''ll avenge you one day.'' Chapter 235 Florida Man Attacked and Killed Home Intruder Using Giant Octopus. Chapter 235 Florida Man Attacked and Killed Home Intruder Using Giant Octopus. Chapter 235 C Florida Man Attacked and Killed Home Intruder Using Giant Octopus. "!!!" The impact that hit Mao Miaomiao''s face was light, but it pushed him a thousand kilometers away. A crack also appeared on his face as the shockwave slightly disintegrated his cells. The doctor looked back at the assant, who was still chilling on the. ''That damn brat!'' Enraged and humiliated, Mao Miaomiao charged toward the while he created a hundred star-destroying swords. He waved his hands and ordered the colossus swords to cut the! . The sight of multiple gigantic swords bigger than the moons and the sun astonished the crowd. They emerged from a distance, but they rapidly got closer and swung toward their. "NOT GOOD!" Gao Yan and Jin Yong panicked. They flew to space and unleashed everything. They shed, hacked, and shot the swords with their firearms. TINK TINK Their bullets and swords weren''t enough to deflect or stop the momentum of the swords. They got bounced back because of the repelling forces. "NOOOO!!" The swords went past them and came down toward the world. Meanwhile, Leo pursed his lips and deeply sighed. He muttered to himself. "I guess I made it on time. What was the keyword? Oh, right ZA WARUDO!" Leo suddenly bellowed and unleashed a domain. A grey dome expanded, enveloping the entire world and the entire star system! The grey dome reached Mao Miaomiao and also pulled him inside. Meowmeow, Lucky, Mu-Nyang, Gao Yan, Hua Taixu, Jin Yong, Esen, Beatrice, Taxi, Ricardo, and others didn''t sense anything as the time flow in the domain was frozen. On the other hand, Mao Miaomiao could still sense his surroundings, but he couldn''t move. His entire body got stuck by an unknown force, and he could only move his eyeballs. While everybody was frozen in the time and space domain, Leo calmly jumped toward the energy swords. He lightly punched one of them, and they shattered into smoke. Leo took his time. He awkwardly swam the void toward the other colossus sword and punched it. Then, he moved to the next. . Mao Miaomiao witnessed everything. He stared at Leo and counted in his mind. ''12, 13, 14, 15 seconds how long can you maintain it? I doubt you can evenst a minute!'' Leo couldn''t hear Mao Miaomiao''s internal thoughts. He swam the void and destroyed the third sword. Using the momentum, he floated toward the next energy de. One minute passed. Leo managed to destroy the fourth one. "" Mao Miaomiao inwardly sneered in his mind. When he was in his prime condition, ten minutes was the longest time that he could sustain this domain. As for the time rewind ability, Mao Miaomiao could only regress one minute to the past as it consumed too much of his life force. Three minutes passed. Five minutes passed. Ten minutes passed, but Leo still took his time to break another sword. So far, he managed to crack 15. Mao Miaomiao was patient. He gathered his strength, waiting for the domain to disperse. However, what he had been waiting for never happened. 11 minutes passed. Everything was still frozen in time! ''11 minutes?! What is this?! Howe that brat managed to break my record?! If I remember correctly, I discarded his soul and sent it to the Karma River. Did Jocelyn and An recover his soul and put it in a new vessel?! No. That''s impossible. Jocelyn and An were merely deities. They don''t have enough authority and power to interfere with the rivers of karma.'' Mao Miaomiao was confused. He thought of Leo and Simba''s parents, who were his colleagues 50,000 years ago. Those couples were in charge of nurturing the test subjects and brainwashing them, making them think that they were their real parents. In reality, Simba and Leo were never their children. They were the creations, which mankind from Earth and the divine elves had created. Abyssal Phoenixes, divine elves, Cathulhus, Fenrir Werewolves, and other creatures from different races in the universe had been abducted and had their blood extracted. They also managed to get their hands on the rare DNA of top overlords of this universe. Mao Miaomiao observed Leo and calcted in his mind. ''The power of time and spacees from the Kishin''s Oni I''m sure either Jocelyn or An must have imnted the OL-ME DNA into another chimera and had that brat reincarnate into it. But that alone can''t enable him to endure the bacsh this long. He must have the OL-AP and OL-AS DNA with him. The infinite revival ability and supreme vitalitye from the abyssal phoenix. The power of regeneration and quick healinge from the Cathulhu. But I also have those DNAs. Why can''t Ist more than 10 minutes!? Something isn''t right!'' While Mao Miaomiao calcted, Leo destroyed the 50th sword and wiped his sweat. The guy leisurely dove back into the''s atmosphere to take a breather. Then, he flew back toward the other swords and continued his work. "" Mao Miaomiao was speechless by Leo''s calmness. He wondered if this guy was stupid. Had he been in Leo''s shoes, he would havee after the caster and ended it. lightsvel ''Luckily, that brat is stupid. He could have killed me and removed all swords altogether. Why is he taking a roundabout way to negate my attacks?'' He smirked and gradually umted his Qi in his veins. He managed to move his fingers a bit. It wouldn''t take long before Mao Miaomiao could break free from the time domain''s restraints. POOF POOF While Mao Miaomiao fantasized about breaking free of Leo''s domain, the rest of his swords suddenly shattered at once. ''Huh?'' Mao Miaomiao shifted his attention to Leo. However, the guy was still at the same ce holding his unique staff. Leo turned around. He looked at Mao Miaomiao and their eyes met. . Leo mumbled to himself as he was tired of destroying swords one by one. He got creative and used the death magic on the energy des. ck smoke from Leo''s hands moved through the void and touched several swords at once. They instantly evaporated the colossus des. Leo let out a sigh of relief. "I should have done this earlier." Leo proceeded to remove all threats. When the swords were gone, he turned around and stared at the culprit of all the messes. He hadn''t forgotten the guy. "Now, you. Doctor Mao Miaomiao, I don''t know you, but I hate you. I don''t know why, though." Leo circted his Qi into his feet and propelled himself forward. Instantly, he arrived in front of the ck-winged angel. "!!!" Mao Miaomiao sensed danger. He burst out his strength and broke from Leo''s domain. "YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME, LEONARDO!! I HAVE THE SUPERIOR PHYSIQUE AND CULTIVATION BASE!!" Leo couldn''t hear Mao Miaomiao''s scream in space, but his muscle memory remembered what he needed to do to defeat the doctor. After all, Leo had already defeated him a thousand times during the long process of meditation earlier. He reached out and grasped Mao Miaomiao''s neck with his left hand. His right hand returned the staff of singrity to his storage ring and clenched into a fist. BOOM Leo''s right fist directly hit Mao Miaomiao''s face. Thetter''s head directly exploded and sttered tissues everywhere. Leo didn''t stop there. He spread miasma of death to capture every piece of Mao Miaomiao''s flesh to find his true soul. Leo had done this a thousand times already. It wasn''t hard to find the guy''s soul. "IMPOSSIBLE!!" "There you are." The soul of Doctor Mao Miaomiao emerged from one of his brain tissues. The ck miasma tied his soul''s arms and legs while it seeped into his transparent body. Mao Miaomiao''s soul screamed in pain and slowly dissipated. However, the guy utilized his life-saving skills again. "RETURN TO ZERO!" As soon as Mao Miaomiao uttered the word, Leo deeply frowned. The shadows in the simtion mode only used this technique for the sake ofbat, not fleeing. However, Mao Miaomiao attempted to use it to save his skin and flee with all his might. Time was rewinded, and Mao Miaomiao''s soul and body slowly restored themselves. As for Leo, he was rooted in the same ce because of the timew. Leo forcefully shattered the restraint effects. He then threw a punch at Mao Miaomiao''s face to kill him again. "NO WAY IN HELL I''LL LOSE TO YOU!" Mao Miaomiao pulled out his secret weapon from his storage ring. But instead of swinging it toward Leo, he turned around and targeted an invisible string that only he could see. The sword was known as the Katana of Karmic Severance. It was his precious artifact that he got from Divine Elf Matriarch Eleanor. "KARMA SEVERENCE! DIE!!" Mao Miaomiao cut a transparent karmic string, which connected him and Essen! SWUA As soon as it was cut, Leo flinched and his punch was halted. He only felt a slight difort, but his body trembled as if he had lost something important. Using this opportunity, Mao Miaomiao bellowed and used his teleportation technique. He vanished and reappeared 200 lightyears away from Leo. Mao Miaomiao turned around and burst intoughter. "HaHahaha. HAHAHAHAHAA!! BRAT! THAT WAS GOOD! YOU WERE GOOD! You must have worked hard for such power! Too bad for you, you''re still na?ve and inexperienced! You can''t possibly beat me, the consort of Divine Elf Matriarch! I HAVE HER PROTECTION!" He believed that he had escaped from Leo''s grasp. He also learned that Leo might have already surpassed him in time and spacew''s mastery. Still, Mao Miaomiao believed that he had a superior cultivation base and physique as Leo flinched from the previous attack. Severing karma was one of many killing moves of a karmic sovereign. As he could see and govern karma, he could decide the fates of mortals, immortals, deities, and even sages. Mao Miaomiao could even dictate anybody''s luck and create low-grade fate crystals! As Leo failed to react to Mao Miaomiao''s karmic severing cut earlier, Mao Miaomiao was confident that Leo''s true strength might be in the entity realm at best. "Next time, I''lle prepared, brat! I won''t be ying around anymore. I''ll search for your karma strings and severe it! I''ll find your karma of existence and destroy it! Then, you will disappear from this universe forever! HAHAHAHAHA-PU!" While Mao Miaomiao was in a good mood, a fishing hook appeared out of nowhere and entered his mouth. The fishing hook pierced through Mao Miaomiao''s upper gum while the fishing line was pulled. "AAAAAAHHHHH!! WHO DARE?!" Mao Miaomiao turned around. Then, he found a statue of an elderly fisherman, holding a fishing rod. Floating behind him were Mu-Nyang, Lucky, and Meowmeow. The guardian statue "Kitten" returned from the Ondo Mystic Realm to help. Mao Miaomiao widened his eyes and gawked at the fisherman. He recognized the old man''s face. "OVERLORD XIAOMAO?!" The guardian statue lightly snorted. "What? You stole the original''s blood and made it yours. Don''t you think that Leonardo can''t do the same?" "Y-YOU ARE HIS CLONE?! IMPOSSIBLE! YOU DON''T EVEN HAVE A SOUL!!" "I might not have his soul, but I know how to infuse my soul into somebody else''s body. You were the one who taught me, Doctor Mao." "You ASLAN?!" The statue of the elderly fisherman transformed into a middle-aged human scientist in ab coat. His face shapeshifted into the male parent in Simba''s photo. "Surprised motherfucker. YOU AIN''T GETTING AWAY!" "YOU CAN''T KILL ME! I HAVE A SUPERIOR PHYSIQUE AND CULTIVATION BASE-" PU PU PU Mu-Nyang pierced through Mao Miaomiao''s chest using his tentacle. Meowmeow beheaded the doctor with his katana. As for Lucky, he red at Mao Miaomiao and burnt his internal organs with his me domain. An, aka Kitten, pulled his fishing rod and dragged out Mao Miaomiao''s soul from his body. His fishing hook and line bound the doctor''s soul and dragged him along. After the soul was captured, Mu-Nyang opened his mouth and ate the remaining flesh and blood of Mao Miaomiao, stopping him froming back to life. Mao Miaomiao struggled to break free. He tried to use his favorite skill again. "RETURN TO ZERO!" But this time, it couldn''t be activated. An scoffed at Mao Miaomiao. "Who do you think I am? I''m using the clone of Overlord Xiaomao as a vessel. What cultivation base do you think he has, idiot?" "NO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! OVERLORD XIAOMAO IS JUST AN ENTITY! HE CAN''T BE THIS STRONG!" "Silence, bitch!" An pped Mao Miaomiao''s soul face. A portion of the spirit disappeared. Meowmeow red at the doctor''s soul. He turned to An and made a request. "Let''s kill him. He deserves a thousand deaths for what he did to us." An smirked. "Rx, boy. I know you hold a grudge, but we still need the guy." "Why?" Meowmeow wasn''t happy with An''s decision. An snickered and shifted his gaze toward Mu-Nyang. Thetter pouted and spat several crystal balls out. "I have a total of 17 earth fate crystals and 4 sky fate crystals, munya." An tilted his head, gesturing that Mu-Nyang still had more. Mu-Nyang pouted and spat another one. However, this one forced Mu-Nyang to puke a moon-sized crystal out of hisrge head. "And one entity fate crystal, munya." An snickered and collected everything. "Good job. Now, take this bastard''s crystal as well." "Okay, munya!" Mu-Nyang widely grinned. He opened his massive mouth, revealing a million sharp fangs under him. His tentacles wrapped around Mao Miaomiao and pulled him into his mouth. At the same time,An removed the hook and the fishing lines for Mu-Nyang to eat the soul. "NOOOOOOO!!" Mu-Nyang''s fangs and teeth turned into a grinder. He crushed the doctor''s soul to pieces and digested him. An nodded in approval. "Mu-Nyang. Don''t destroy everything. Let that bastard''s soul reincarnate as one of your dantian universe''s poption and torture him until he''s traumatized. Trap him in there and let him suffer an ill fate for at least a decillion years! Make him suffer! Oh, don''t forget to extract his fate crystals in his soul. Leonardo will need those." "Okie, munya!" Mu-Nyangughed. He loved ying with his victim''s souls. Inside Mu-Nyang''s universe housed 100,000 souls of Fenrir werewolves. He nned to degrade these guys into something nastier and stupider than their previous race C The gnolls. "Let''s go home and help our master." The business was over. The four guardian statues reverted to their casual appearance and flew back home. . . Meanwhile, a disaster struck at home. Esen, who had beenmanding her undead troops and standing on the parking lot''s top floor, copsed. She then stopped breathing, and her heart ceased functioning. A transparent karma string, which had linked her with Leo, fell next to her body. Chapter 239 Florida Man Allegedly Groomed a Maiden. FBI Declared That He Rizzed His Last Gyatt. Chapter 239 Florida Man Allegedly Groomed a Maiden. FBI Dered That He Rizzed His Last Gyatt. Chapter 239 C Florida Man Allegedly Groomed a Maiden. FBI Dered That He Rizzed His Last Gyatt. Leo drowsily woke up after he had lost to An''s shadow. He dragged his feet to the bathroom to get the morning shower. Upon stepping his foot into the bathroom, Leo found Esen, gawking at her improved physique. "Mamma Mia" Leo nodded in approval as the busty physique of Esen aligned with his taste. He naughtily pped her butt and entered the shower room. "Ow!" Esen bent her back and pouted. She red at Leo in embarrassment. "Hey, geezer! What did you do to me?!" Leo shrugged and started showering. He gasped when the cold shower hit his face and shook his head, sshing water everywhere in the bathroom. Then, he answered Esen. "Nothing much. I just injected some "LIFE FORCE" into you. Try to open the system and check your lifespan. You''ll be surprised. Oh, by the way, I have given you the authority to freely browse your lifespan or view other people''s lifespan status. Try thinking about your remaining lifespan, and the menu will show up." "" Esen had a thousand curses to scream at Leo because of thest night''s activity. She wasn''t angry about what Leo had done. However, she was dissatisfied that he didn''t wake her up to enjoy their romantic time together. Although Esen was annoyed, she tried opening the lifespan system menu to see her lifespan status. A blue screen appeared and floated in front of her. . Name: Esen Sydin IV Age: 10,007 Remaining Lifespan: 69,420 Years, 11 Months, 29 Days, and 22 Hours . "Huh?" Esen vaguely remembered that she saw this status screen. It used to show her remaining lifespan as null before, but the current status screen finally revealed her remaining time and life force. "What did you do to me exactly, geezer!?" Esen turned toward Leo, who leisurely washed his long hair while he untied his braided beard. "I meant exactly what I said. I gave you some life force, so you won''t suddenly drop and stop breathing like thest time. If someone cuts your karma string again, you will have some backup energy to stay alive until I rescue you." "What do you mean?" Esen had no idea what Leo was talking about. "It''s a long story. Let me exin to you about the power of sages and entities while we''re here. Oh, do you want to take a bath together? Want me to rub your back?" "" As soon as Leo mentioned taking a bath together, Esen came back to her senses. She remembered that they were naked and were alone in a bathroom. White smoke came out from Esen''s ears. As usual, her entire face was as red as ripened tomatoes. However, as she had already lost her innocence, she instinctively looked down and checked Leo''s figure. The abs, the lean muscles, and the wide shoulders of Leo made Esen drool. She forgot about shame. Leo nced at Esen and noticed her line of sight. He smirked. "Or perhaps are you interested in the morning life force injection?" "Injection? WAIT A MINUTE!" "HAHAHA! GET OVER HERE! STICK OUT YOUR GYATT FOR THE RIZZLER!!" "WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!" It was toote for Esen to escape. Leo pulled her into the shower room and trapped her there. He pulled her into a kiss. Esen resisted at first. But after a minute of licking and touching, she hugged him and freed her desire. The husband and wife ended up taking a morning bath together and got intimated. . . Two hourster, the couple got out of the bath and put on some clothes. Leo sat on his bed while Esen sat on hisp hugging him and leaning on his chest. Leo exined what he knew about the sage''s abilities and the entity''sws. He also warned her of the threats of karma severance and the importance of karma strings. Esen was enlightened. She forgot about the shame and embarrassment from before as she was more interested in Leo''s true cultivation base. "Since you know everything, what is your actual cultivation base, geezer?" "Can''t you at least call me "Darling" or "Dear" like a happy wife for once, honey?" Leo pursed his lips. "W-W-Who''s your honey?! W-Why should I call you those?!" "Meh, you''re still embarrassed even after all we have done so far?" "" Esen lowered her head and blushed. She thought of their sexy time in the bath, and she remembered how she threw herself on him. "Anyway," Leo gentlybed Esen''s silky blond hair while speaking. "I''m definitely neither a sage nor an entity. I''m probably a karmic sovereign or something higher I guess." "You guess? You don''t know about your cultivation base or what?" "Something like that. I don''t have a clue." "And how the hell have you gotten this strong?!" " I just ate everything I found. Oh, I ate so many Godzis and contaminated snow. That''s probably why." "" Leo thought of the dark time when he was still on Earth. He struggled to save up YOL so that he could transmigrate or teleport to a better. He didn''t regret what he did. He was thankful that he managed to save up to 2 billion YOL to get here. Because of such an achievement, Leo met many people and scored himself a wife. "Anyway, the crisis is over. I''ll be teaching you how to grow your strength from now on, okay?" Leo changed the subject. He measured Esen''s current cultivation base again. She had be a deity. However, there were only 200 stars inside her dantian universe, which she wasn''t aware of yet. "You said that you had no idea about cultivation. How will you teach me?" "I know a lot more than you do, wifey. Actually, I have a thousand techniques that I can impart to you directly whenever I want to." "Liar." "Don''t believe me? Fine. I''ll show you something really good. You''ll have to reward me by cooking this daddy some sandwichester, okay?" Leo pressed his finger on Esen''s forehead. Then, he used a technique that he learned from An and Mao Miaomiao. The power ofws allowed entities to borrow the power of the universe. However, the power of Karmic Dao gave the authority to a karmic sovereign to bend thews at his will. As such, their powers usually brokemon sense. The memory transfer technique of Leo was also amon technique that many nascent soul cultivators could use. However, Leo employed the power of time by creating a small time domain big enough to cover their room. He slowed the time flow by 1000x so that Esen could take the time to digest all the information. Leo transferred the skills and techniques that he had learned from Esen''s shadow. He also nned to defeat Esen''s shadow 10,000 more times so that he could get the shadow''s weapon as a reward. That staff would be useful for her in the future. Esen fell into a trance when a strange vision entered her mind. Her body tensed and stiffened while Leo calmly stroked her back to calm her. One minute in reality was one thousand minutes inside Leo''s domain. However, it was not enough for Esen to digest everything at once as she didn''t have the miracle power of a system. Leo wished that he could get her a system power for self-protection. ''What do I have to do to get her a system''s power or a simr alien ring? Should I start hunting for entity fate crystals? Or should I give her one of the crystals that I have? Hmm'' . In the end, it took Esen two hours in the real world, aka 2,000 hours in the time domain, to understand everything. She regained her senses and panted in exhaustion. Leo supported her and put her down on the bed. He then canceled the power of time. "Good job. How is it? Can I get your approval?" Esen red at Leo with the corner of her eyes. Sheined. "You''re a monster." "Yeah, I''m not a human anymore. I know." "Not that. You literally are a monster." "Well, you''re right." Leo gently patted Esen''s forehead and stood up. "I''m gonna go to work now. Take your time resting andprehending the new techniques while this daddy is out, okay? If you want some more injection at night, you can call Ivy over and" "GET OUT!" Esen threw a pillow at Leo''s face. Leoughed and left the room. . . Leo exited the bus and found Esen''s subordinates waiting for him. Everybody surrounded Leo. Ivy''s eyes were moist. "How is Her Majesty?! Is she safe?!" Leo smiled at the group of former undead. He was proud of her that she had so many caring subordinates. "She has woken up." "!!!" Everybody widened their eyes. Ivy copsed and sat on her butt as if her legs lost all strength. In reality, she was so relieved that she cried in joy. The elves and the molg people celebrated and cheered. Their voices were so loud that everybody in the domain could hear them. "Go see her, Ivy." Leo patted Ivy''s head and left the parking lot building. Thetter brightly smiled and dashed onto the bus along with Marc and Beatrice. Upon stepping out of the parking lot, another party stood there, waiting for him. They were none other than the four guardian statues, who hade to make their reports. Meowmeow still had some cracks on his chest, yet he was the first to kneel "We have failed you. Please punish us." Spoken Meowmeow. "Fail? What kind of failure? Failure to be a doctor before you were 10 or you failed to be 30 years old when you were 12?" "Pfft." An held back hisughter while the other statues gave Leo a weird look. Meowmeow pretended not to hear Leo''s joke and proceeded with his report. "We have failed to defend your buildings and many facilities. All crops on the farm have been razed to the ground. The white tree has been hit by an anti-domain gun, and its trunk has been half-broken. The sweet dream mushroom spores leak from the array, and it is infecting the ruined farm. We''ve managed to contain it to a certain degree, though. Also the shopping mall''s front sses are shattered. The machine in the recycling center has been destroyed. Both apartments have copsed. As for the pylon tower, you can see it for yourself." Leo turned to look at the pylon tower, which was the main source of yin-yang Qi. It also copsed on the ground. Only debris remained. Meowmeow hadn''t finished yet. "I also have a confession. I tried my best to defeat the invader''s ringleader Mao Miaomiao, but I failed to defeat him. Because of my ipetency, the Florida Domain has been critically damaged. Please punish me." Leo rolled his eyes. Sometimes, he wondered who was smarter, Leo or Meowmeow. "You dumbass. Have you forgotten what my system can do?" Leo opened his domain system. The grid map revealed the state of each building and how damaged they were. Although everything seemed to be in ruins, the system had a friendly button that Leo could abuse. [Repair All] The price of this button was a whopping 100,000 YOL. However, considering how important each building was, the repair fee was worth it. DING Leo pressed the button. Instantly, everything within Florida Domain was restored to its former glory. Big and small craters were buried. Burnt areas were cleaned while buildings were fully repaired and rebuilt. Broken machines became brand new while the destroyed crops were restored. As for the pylon tower, there was no need to check as the massive crystal began producing yin and yang Qi once again. That was not all. Meowmeow''s chest was also repaired. Meowmeow widened his eyes for a moment before he pped his face in embarrassment and shame. "I forgot about this. Please kill me. I don''t want to live anymore." Leo scoffed. "What? Just because you made a clown out of yourself, you want to die now? Yeah, you''re a terrible clown alright. I''ve been a clown for months, but I never want to die. Grow some backbones, dumbass." "PFFT!" Mu-Nyang, Lucky, and An held their stomach while they covered their mouth, holding back theirughter. As for Meowmeow, he nkly stared at Leo''s face in a daze. "Master. You''re very cruel." Meowmeow wanted to cry but he had no tears. "You dug yourself a hole. Nobody forced you." "DAMMIT!" Due to the umted emotional damage, Meowmeow flew back to the flying ind and reverted to a giant guardian statue. As for his colleagues, they hysterically burst intoughter. Minutester, the groupughed enough. Lucky took this opportunity to report his good deeds. "Master, woof! I''ve collected lifespan from the invaders for you, woof!" DING Leo nodded in approval. He petted the good boy while Lucky wagged his tail. "Good job! You''ve done, well." "I''m a good boy, woof!" "That''s right. You''re such a good boy!" Although the wolf statue''s body was made of mysterious hard metal, Leo petted it and rubbed its face as if the metal skin was soft and fluffy. Lucky also panted and smiled as he loved the petting. The petting session didn''tst long as an evil cat stepped up to steal the scene. "Master, munya. I have something better, munya! Check this out!" Mu-Nyang poured crystals on the ground. Each ball glistened in various colors and emitted a radiance of profound aura. They were earth fate crystals and sky fate crystals! Chapter 240 Florida Man Called Cops and Begged for Red Pills to Escape the Matrix. Chapter 240 Florida Man Called Cops and Begged for Red Pills to Escape the Matrix. Chapter 240 C Florida Man Called Cops and Begged for Red Pills to Escape the Matrix. As soon as the fate crystals appeared, they reacted to Leo''s alien ring. Everything floated and disappeared into the mysterious artifact. DING DING Finally, the old tutorial quest could bepleted. Leo was also curious about what this true fate crystal could do. "Combine them." Leo''s fingers radiated in brown light. The alien ring spat out a Ping-Pong-sized brown crystal ball, whichnded in Leo''s hand. At first, Leo didn''t think highly of it as it looked simr to essence stones. But then, it started producing tiny invisible tentacles around itself. Leo narrowed his eyes as he could sense them wiggling on his palm but he couldn''t see them. He felt like he was carrying a restless tarant spider in his hand. "This kinda tickles. What is this for?" Mu-Nyang pointed at the pylon tower. "You can either insert them into one of the tower''s sockets or imnt it into somebody''s soul, munya." Leo nodded as he finally remembered the feature, but he was curious about the imnting part. "What will happen if I imnt this into someone''s soul?" "That person will have a series of lucky streaks for a few years before the true earth fate crystal is ejected from his body, munya." "And, will that ejected crystal be separated into seven pieces and they need to be assembled again?" "That''s right, munya!" "Isn''t that practically dragon balls?!" "Dragon balls can''t bebined, munya. These crystals can''t summon a dragon or a genie monster with green chickenpox issues. Also, fate crystals don''t grant just one or three wishes, munya. Thebined crystals can grant wishes for years until their luck energy is depleted. Don''tpare our holy artifacts with those knock-offs, munya!" "" Leo wiped his sweat. Dragon Ball fans would have rioted if they heard Mu-Nyang''s remarks. "So." Leo coughed and changed the subject. "If I imnt it in my soul, can it grant my wishes?" "Depends on the wishes, munya. If it''s something mundane, such as growing a bigger PP, that can be done as many times as you want, munya. But if you have an impossible wish. For example, you wish to obtain an infinite lifespan to abuse the system shop. Then, you will probably get a lump sum of lifespan, and the true fate crystal will run out of energy, munya. In short, you will get your wish from "WISH APP" instead of what you truly desire, munya." "That''s reasonable." Leo heard enough. He smiled and guided his guardian statues to the pylon tower, which had been fully repaired. The tower never stopped supplying yin and yang Qi to the environment in the domain. Hot and cold air entwined as the Qi mixed together. Leo walked closer to the tower and weed the warm air. At the foundation of the tower, there were round socket holes as Mu-Nyang had mentioned. Each came at a different size. The tower of Leo was already level 15, and it came with 15 socket holes. However, thebels disappointed him. True Earth Fate Crystal True Sky Fate Crystal True Heavenly Fate Crystal Those were the avable sockets. As for the superior fate crystals, they were ipatible with the current tower. Leo shrugged and inserted the true earth fate crystal in his hand into one of the avable sockets. DING The pylon tower''s crystal changed color to brown. The foundation lifted itself off the ground while the entire structure underwent a transformation. An empty fountain pool became a new addition to the tower. The embedded socket transformed into the face of a cat with an open mouth, which spilled brown water to fill the fountain pool. DING The status of the pylon tower also changed. . Yin-Yang Pylon Tower Level 15 Yin and Yang Essence Production Level (10/10) Fire Essence Production Level (1/10) Water Essence Production Level (1/10) Wood Essence Production Level (1/10) Earth Essence Production Level (1/10) Metal Essence Production Level (1/10) Lightning Essence Production Level (0/10) Wind Essence Production Level (0/10) Holy Essence Production Level (0/10) Darkness Essence Production Level (0/10) Current Socket: True Earth Fate Crystal (1) Current Production: Holy Water of True Earth Fate Crystal . Leo raised his eyebrows as he remembered the item''s name. He recalled that the perverted Minotaur Sierra and the brain-rot Hua Taixu needed this holy water to evolve. "Perfect timing! Can I use this in alchemy, too?" "You can try, munya." "Neat!" The new holy water was not the only thing that Leo obtained. He alsopleted the tutorial quest, which was rotting in his system quest menu. . Fate Crystal Tutorial Primary Objectives: 1 - Collect 7 Earth Fate Crystals (7/7) 2 C Assemble 7 Earth Fate Crystals (1/1) Secondary Objectives: 1 C Kill 7 Immortals (7/7) 2 C Upgrade Humble General Store to Shopping Mall (1/1) Primary Mission Rewards: Gnosis of Earth Fate, True Earth Fate Crystal, Ring of Entity Upgrade Feature Secondary Mission Rewards: 7 Lucky Draws, 777 Free Tickets . Leo pressed the submit button and confirmed thepletion of his quests. DING As Leo already obtained the 7 gacha tickets and 777 expansion tickets, he only got the primary mission rewards. Thus, he received ANOTHER earth fate crystal, a gnosis of earth fate, and a new feature. He was slightly disappointed with the new feature. He already had a bunch of storage rings, so he didn''t need a clich game-like inventory system. "Lame, boring, and uninspirational." Comined Leo. "An owner of an imploded submarine said the same, munya." "" Leo turned around and red at the snarky cathulhu. Thetter giggled and fled to the flying ind like a naughty cat. After Mu-Nyang had left, Leo turned his attention to the pylon tower. He flickered the new earth fate crystal in his hand. He hesitated if he should add it to the tower or imnt it into somebody''s soul for an experiment. "Kitten." "Yes, master?" An stepped forward. He could guess what Leo wanted to ask, but he pretended not to know. "How many years of lifespan will I get if I inject this into my soul?" "A million years at best." "Then, when it is ejected from my body, can I assemble it again and put it back?" "Depleted fate crystals require a long time to recharge their luck energy, master. We''ll have to leave them alone for a billion years before they can be used again." "Meh. What a long cooldown." "We can''t help it. It''s the nature of y- I mean, this universe." As Leo already stacked several million years of lifespan in his pocket, he didn''t need to waste a rare resource in exchange for some numbers. Instead, he measured which action he should take to get the best benefit from the true earth fate crystal in his hand. "Socket another or give it to wifey Oh, hey. Kitten. If I can assemble seven earth fate crystals into a true earth fate crystal, can I do the same with sky fate crystals or others?" "Of course, master. You can evenbine seven entity fate crystals into a true entity fate crystal if you have enough." Leo rubbed his alien ring to recheck the number of entity fate crystals he had collected so far. The first one belonged to him when he first woke up on the alien ship. Leo got the second entity Fate Crystal from the mystic realm. And recently, he received the third one from Mu-Nyang. Leo needed four more. "Eh, I might as well put it in the socket or should I research it for alchemy? Can I create these with the system buildings?" An smirked and nodded in approval. "You''re getting smarter, master. I''m proud of you." "Does that mean I was always stupid in your eyes?!" "Of course, not. You were very smart in your own way. If wepare your IQ to the local people, you''re still smarter than them by miles. It''s just that you picked up things slower than an average entity''s standard. "" Leo had the urge to smack the guy. However, he remembered how strong An was in the simtion mode, so he left the guy alone. "If you''re so smart, tell me what will happen if I put another true earth fate crystal in the tower." "It will just elerate the production process. I suggest you should sacrifice that thing to the alchemy workshop to get a recipe or something worthwhile. I bet you will be very happy to see that, too." Leo gave An a meaningful look. Somehow, this guy showed up and reced Meowmeow as an advisor. But unlike the ck-winged angel, this old fisherman seemed suspicious. He put the true earth fate crystal away. Then, he turned his attention to the gnosis next. The gnosis came out in the form of a pink heart-shaped crystal. Leo didn''t bother inspecting it and put it back in his storage ring. "Are you nning to research on that, master?" An asked to make sure. "Yeah, so?" "Gnosis is different from fate crystals. You can''t make it with alchemy. I suggest you should use it." Leo rolled his eyes. He could always get new skills and daos by defeating random cultivators and aliens that he had met. Thus, he didn''t need to use an artifact to gain power. "No need. I can get new daos whenever I want to. I''ll just put this to research." An narrowed his eyes. He blinked and appeared in front of Leo to stop him. "Master, I''m sorry. This time, I have to convince you to change your mind. You''ll regret it if you research that thing." "Why?" "The dao of fate crystals is unique. Nobody in the universe, including the strongest karmic sovereigns, has managed toprehend it. If you learn the dao, you will be one step ahead of other yers." "Is that so? Then, why can''t I research and mass-produce it?" "As I said before. It''s a unique dao. You can''t produce it or mimic it no matter what. Please trust me on this." "" Leo paused and brought the gnosis out. He flipped it around while he stared into An''s eyes. "What else do you know? Rather, what else are you hiding from me? Why am I getting a feeling that you aren''t exactly my shadow but another bastard who possesses one of my subordinates?" An bitterlyughed and jokingly revealed the truth. "I am your father." "Yeah, right. If you''re my father, I''m Luke Skywalker! Get outta here!" An shook his head. He tried, but Leo didn''t believe him. Fortunately, Leo heeded An''s advice. Instead of wasting the gnosis in the alchemy workshop, he shoved the gnosis into his forehead. The crystal sunk into his forehead and merged with his soul inside his brain. Then, a new knowledge entered his mind. DING The new knowledge was nothing special. It told a story of how a deity condensed his dantian and formed a universe inside him. Then, he sacrificed some of his life force to condense an artifact for his dantian universe. The artifacts were called fate crystals. They represented the deity, and they contained some of his power. Time passed. Lifeforms grew and upied thes that the deity had created. The artifacts also elerated the progress and automatically adjusted the bnce of nature. Countless years passed. The small lifeforms either evolved to survive or died out. Some of them gained intelligence and became sentient while many creatures relied on their instinct to survive. Intelligent lifeforms soon dominated the habitables. Several of them discovered the artifacts, which the deity had left behind. The mortals quickly mistook them as tools and wielded them as weapons. Some insane lifeforms with mental issues made up stories and established religions around the fate crystals. Afterward, disasters struck as wars broke out because of the conflicted religions. The deity who created the fate crystals noticed themotion and descended to pacify the mortals. However, everybody mistook him for the devil and rebelled against him. The deity was enraged. He confiscated the fate crystals and massacred the useless mortals, who gued his dantian universe. Then, he stopped relying on them to increase his power. Leo slowly opened his eyes and deeply frowned. He looked up to the sky in a bad mood. "Are you telling me that we''re freaking living in someone''s dantian universe or something?!" An flinched, but he kept his mouth shut. He wryly smiled and gazed at Leo. "You don''t have to worry about that. Even if we are, we won''t be harmed." "How do you know about that?" "Because the owner of this universe" An hesitated if he should reveal the truth. Again, he changed his mind and concealed the most important information from Leo for the sake of his future. "Nobody owns this universe. We aren''t living in a matrix. This is our reality." "Are you sure?" "100%." "Hmm" Leo didn''t fully believe in An. Still, judging from An''s soft expression, he decided to trust him just this once. "Fine. Also, how the hell did you know what I learned from the gnosis?" "I''m your shadow. Whatever you learned, I learn it, too." "Fair enough." Leo turned around and proceeded to the shopping mall. He nned to research on the new holy water and the fate crystals next. An let out a long sigh. Then, he gazed toward the sky, thinking of his wife, the other deceased foster children, and the one who ordered him to start the past inhumane experiment C Matriarch Eleanor of the Divine Elf, aka Esen''s mother. ''Eleanor. Your soul transmigration experiment was sessful indeed. Rather, it was TOO SUCCESSFUL. We''ve awakened a monster, and your sandcastle empire will be swept away by the tsunami soon.'' Chapter 245 Florida Man Crossed a Desert to Find Desert Monster, Found Area 51 Instead. Chapter 245 Florida Man Crossed a Desert to Find Desert Monster, Found Area 51 Instead. Chapter 245 C Florida Man Crossed a Desert to Find Desert Monster, Found Area 51 Instead. Leo selected the first name to satisfy his curiosity. The system prompted him with a new screen, showing the brief information of the deceased overlord. . yer Status yer: Overlord Max Fenrir yer Status: Deceased Headquarter Level: 50 *WARNING! Attacking a deceased yer''s home bases will incur a penalty: Ally yers of the deceased yer will be informed of your invasion, and they can freely deploy reinforcement to protect and im the home bases. . Except for the overlord''s grey portrait and the useless information, only the warning part piqued Leo''s interest. "So, has this guy''s home bases be ownerless? Can I im them for myself?" DING "Ah, that''s fair." Leo didn''t care about the dead guy''s system perks. He was more interested in the free gacha tickets he could get from the raid. As nothing else stopped Leo from proceeding further, Leo made his decision. He chose to invade the dead overlord''s base. The bottom of the status screen featured the invasion confirmation button. Leo pressed it without hesitation. VHOOM A small rainbow portal manifested and hovered over the tform. Leo closed the system screens and jumped inside. As soon as Leo entered the portal, the exit was closed right away. He found himself on a stone cliff, looking down to a wastnd. The air of this world was dusty and smelly like methane. The thick orange clouds blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the ground and made the ground temperature chilly. From a rough estimation, Leo believed the average temperature here was about 5 to 10 Celsius or 41 to 50 Fahrenheit. Strangely, no snow was presented here. A windstorm hit Leo''s face and dirtied his skin with sticky yellow dirt. The muddy dirt in the air annoyed Leo as it blocked his vision. Leo snorted and exhaled all impurities and foul air from his lungs. He also released his Qi and created a wind element barrier around him. The blue barrier repelled dust and particles in the air from getting inside. It also provided Leo with oxygen, nitrogen, and radiation that his body needed. After creating an air-filtering barrier, Leo could see a bit further. He continued expanding the dome to expand his visual range. When the dome reached 500 meters in diameter, Leo finally sensed movements and life signatures from the horizon. He closed his eyes and tried to feel them with his sixth sense instead. About 1,000 kilometers in front of him, a colony was situated there. A ss dome protected their poption inside while several towers stood outside the barrier, circling their spotlights around and scanning for unauthorized visitors. Leo couldn''t sense the interior of the mysterious city, but he could tell that it was bigger than the Australian continent for sure. "Is that the ce?" Leo opened his eyes and took flight. He flew toward the dome colony while maintaining the air-filtering barrier around him. Unfortunately, when Leo flew closer to the orange clouds, they reacted to Leo''s presence. It immediately unleashed heavenly orange lightning bolts toward him. "Huh?" The thunderbolts struck Leo, but they only gave him a mild tingling sensation simr to being stimted by a vibrator. It was a nice electric massage. Leo weed the free meal. He flew directly into the clouds and drained them into his dantian universe. The clouds gradually moved toward Leo as if he were the center of a whirlpool. The thick massive tribtion clouds that were capable of blocking the sunlight vanished and left arge hole in the sky. The orange gas entered Leo''s dantian and gathered in one of his stars, which had been designated as a tribtion lightning star. It contained nothing but electric current and intense maic fields, which generated endless lightning storms. The gas was devoured by the rainbow clouds of this star. The impurity of the gas was burnt away, leaving only a burnt smell of burning iron and ash. DING Leo was d that he came here as stealing the star''s tribtion lightning clouds was profitable. He vowed to do this again. However, his action also made his presence known to the poption. When more clouds vanished, the two humongous Suns, which were 5,000 timesrger than the Sr System''s Sun, became visible. The biggest one was white while the smaller one, which was half the size of the white sun, radiated an orange me. The heat of the two suns instantly melted rocks, dirt, and humid sticky air they touched. Orange mes popped up one after another as the methane gas in the air caught fire. me rapidly spread along the wind and turned into me tornados. They reached the thick orange clouds that were out of Leo''s absorption range and ignited them on fire. Orange lightning bolts went berserk. They unleashed countless lightning bolts within the clouds. Some branches hit the ground while many traveled to the stratosphere. Leo turned around and gazed at what he had done. He shrugged. "That wasn''t my fault! It''s the that''s at fault here. Who asked you to orbit in a sr system with two freaking suns!?" Leo flew away from the spreading chaos, but he never stopped stealing the orange clouds. . By the time Leo arrived at the colony, the wastnd behind him turned into a sea of me because of the endless methane gas in the air. His long ck and white hair also emitted white smoke as the me caught up to him while he was flying earlier. However, Leo was never harmed. All the colony''s tower spotlights shone upon Leo and fixated on him. Red siren flight shed within the colony, but Leo couldn''t hear anything from outside. VHOOM Suddenly, sentry machine guns emerged from the ground and pointed at Leo. Then, they started sting. Leo was curious about the guns as he just experienced an alien invasion. He stood there and tested their power. TING TING TING Anti-tank shells, armor-piercing shells, explosive shells, and anti-domain shells were unleashed. Countless white and yellow needles shed and hit Leo''s face, chest, stomach, and legs without missing a shot. A hundred thousand t bullet heads were deflected from Leo''s skin upon impact. Some of them hit his nose directly, but they were ttened upon impact because Leo''s body was as firm as a steel mountain. 30 minutes passed by. The sentry guns finally ran out of bullets. Burying under the mountain ofrge bullet heads was Leo. He hummed while he collected every piece of bullet head into his storage rings. ''Can my mannequins convert these metals into useful tools or guns for my future army? I hope they can make a better gun soon. Oh, wait. We might need some RPGs or anti-air missiles soon. Those drones and jets are nasty! Maybe something like the Israel''s iron dome?'' WHOOSH In the blink of an eye, a million bullet heads vanished into Leo''s storage rings. He patted the dirt on his clothes and proceeded toward the colony. Leo looked up at the colony. Although the half-circle dome covered it, the foundation of the colony was no different than aplex spaceship with gigantic metal spider legs and continuous tracks. "A mobile colony? A spider colony?" Leo was impressed. He thought of an old anime, which told a story of a dystopian world where humans could only live in mobile colonies simr to this one. The local poption fought for natural resources while they avoided hazardous monsters outside. He wondered if this world had a dangerous monster in the wastnd. He wished that there was one so that he could farm them for alchemy materials and random resources. RUMBLE While Leo silently approached the colony, he noticed some movements and life signatures of people getting closer. A shutter door of the colony gradually opened. A 5-meter-tall wolf walked out of the giant door. Following after him were 50 werewolves in sci-fi battle suits and sophisticated giant swords. Leo raised his eyebrows and stared at the blunt swords. Each of them was 10 meters long and 10 centimeters thick. From a nce, they didn''t look like a good weapon for cutting. BRRRRRR The werewolves flipped the switches of their des and revealed their functions. The des revealed saw teeth and started vibrating. They were not regr swords. They were saw machines! "Hey! I want one of those!" Leo drooled. He wished his domain could produce one of those saw swords. "$%@ NU''EARTHE @&#$!!" The werewolves yelled in an iprehensiblenguage and pointed their fingers at Leo''s face. Although Leo couldn''t hear most of the words, he could hear the N-word loud and clear. "Goddamn. Are all werewolves in this universe racist? I wish the Earth''s media could see this. They would have screamed "HUMANPHOBIC" and rallied a protest..." While Leo imagined how the modern world would react to their racism, a dozen werewolves surrounded Leo and swung their sawswords at him. CRACK CRACK CRACK All saw swords hit Leo, but they were instantly jammed upon impact. The saw teeth failed to slice through his skin. Leo widely grinned and grabbed two saw swords. He stored them in his storage rings. WHOOSH The swords vanished. The wielders looked at their empty hands in confusion and started barking. "NU''EARTHE &*#@$!!" "&$#@&%#&$#&@ NU''EARTHE &%$@#&#@&%&@&!!" Leo rolled his eyes. He nonchntly approached them and touched the nearest guy''s battle suit. WHOOSH The entire battle suit vanished and entered Leo''s storage rings, leaving him butt-naked. Leo nced at the guy and was about to kill him at first. But when he noticed how shiny the werewolf''s golden fur was, he changed his mind. "Thanks, puppy. Oh, hey. Your golden fur looks nice. Can I skin you and make your fur my doormat?" For the sake of preserving the fur, Leo pulled out his pistol and shot the werewolf''s head. BOOM The direct hit sted the head of the golden wolf and stted his brain everywhere. After the wolf died, Leo tried to store the corpse in his storage rings. However, he noticed that the rings were almost full to the brim. Keeping meat in a dimensional pocket full of floating metals and steel bullet heads was unhealthy. Although Leo was reluctant, he started using the system''s inventory menu. He stored the corpse in there. DING "HMM?!" Leo widened his eyes. He learned a new thing. Chapter 248 Florida Man Quit Job and Spent His Entire Saving in a Phone Game. Chapter 248 Florida Man Quit Job and Spent His Entire Saving in a Phone Game. Chapter 248 C Florida Man Quit Job and Spent His Entire Saving in a Phone Game. The entire colony dissipated into dust. Some supplies, furniture, debris, and random objects remained. The corpses also remained in the same ces. Overlord Milo watched everything in disbelief. A few secondster, he gasped in realization. "That''s a yer with a kingdom system! Damn, Nu''Earthe! Don''t let me see you again!!" Milo grudgingly turned toward the corpses of the hyena werewolves. He med them for the destruction of Overlord Max''s headquarters. "Tsk! If you hadn''t been greedy, we would have crushed that Nu''Earthe and shared the city''s loot! Serve you right!" Milo was simr to Leo. He collected everybody''s corpses and remaining supplies to his storage ring. Once everything was ounted for, Overlord Milo reverted to a humanoid werewolf form and teleported back to his battleship. Upon returning to the bridge, Milo ordered his soldiers. "Set the course to the rendezvous point of the 7th princess. We''ll regroup with them so that we can rebuild our mothership!" The crew silently barked in response and shifted their attention to the station console in front of them. They adjusted the ship''s output, turning it around. BOOM The battleship fired sevenser beams in front of the bow and opened a wormhole. It sted its engine and disappeared into the warp gate. . WHOOSH A dayter, Overlord Milo''s battleship exited the wormhole and appeared 50,000km away from a fleet of a dozen artificials, five cubic motherships, and a thousand of star-destroyer battleships. Overlord Milo''s ship seemed smallpared to the local battleships here. He gazed at the dazzling lineup and snorted. "As expected of the war-addicted princess. At this rate, she will be Queen Eleanor''s sessor." Milo thought of the princess with mental health issues. She might be the prettiest divine elf in the royal family, but her bipr behavior made it ufortable to work with her. He still remembered how the princess killed her subordinates over the slightest disagreement. "Ha I still have to report back to her. I might die." . . Leo returned to his domain before Milo could even exit the wormhole. He and the three puppies appeared at the Altar of War. DING "Holy moly!" Leo was stunned by the cooldown time of this building. Realizing how long it took to recharge, Leo understood the importance of the cooldown level of this facility. Finally, thest phase quest waspleted. With this, Leo could move on to the next phase and increase his domain''s maximum level. . Entity Fate Crystal Quest C Phase 3/13 Mission Objectives: Complete 10 tasks toplete this phase. Phase Completion Rewards: 300,000 Years of Lifespan, One Selectable SR Building, Increase the Shopping Mall''s max level to 17, Increase the Sub-Building''s Max Level to 17, and Enable TOP-UP Feature.

DING The third phase of the entity fate crystal quest waspleted. Leo got what he wanted atst. "Hah! Finally, I can WHALE the gacha! What currency do you need? I bet it''s my lifespan." Leo closed the quest menu and checked the TOP-UP option. It showed a new textbox with a string of numbers. Leo''s lifespan was highlighted. [16,912,248] "Huh?!" Leo hadn''t counted his lifespan for a long time. When he saw the bnce, he was taken aback. "Man, I''m rich. I guess I can splurge a bit." There was no button to recharge the currency. However, behind the textbox, another number textbox was visible and shing. There was also a [+] icon behind the number. [0] [+] Leo rubbed his chin and grinned. He pressed the plus icon to check how he could top up the currency. DING A new screen appeared, revealing the exchange rate of the new currency. . 1 E-CRYSTAL / 35 YOL 10 E-CRYSTAL / 340 YOL 100 E-CRYSTAL / 3,300 YOL 1,000 E-CRYSTAL / 32,000 YOL 10,000 E-CRYSTAL / 300,000 YOL . The exchange rate looked average for a gacha game knockoff system. However, there were multiple tabs on this top-up screen. Leo pressed on one of them to inspect it. Unfortunately, the system informed him of a piece of bad news. "Is this a scam?" Leo deeply sighed. He tested the feature by purchasing the cheapest e-crystal package, aka the 10,000 e-crystal package. CHA-CHING! Leo''s lifespan decreased, but the mysterious currency number box increased by 10,000. After getting the premium currency, Leo swiped the system screens. He navigated to the gacha page. As Leo had been saving up, he had 62 tickets for building gacha and 10 tickets for servant gacha. This didn''t include a selectable SR building ticket. "Hehehehe! Alright, f2p rolls first. SHOW ME THE MONEEEEEEEEEEY!!" Rolled pressed the 10+1 button and gambled his life away. 66 rollster, Leo red at the gacha page with bloodshot eyes. He didn''t get a single SR building from the 66 rolls! Instead, he got 60 normal buildings and 6 rare buildings. "THIS GACHA IS CURSED! MY ID IS CURSED! THIS IS A SCAM!!" A PTSD shback from the childhood days came back to haunt Leo. He recalled the days when he spent all his allowance on a gacha game and didn''t get a desired character from the game. Fortunately, the situation was different. Leo was no longer poor and dependent on his parents'' wallets. He had money to spend! "It doesn''t matter. Those were trash tickets. Come on. How much do you need to roll a 10+1?" Leo rechecked the confirm button. The detail above the buttons changed. Instead of demanding tickets, the game allowed Leo to spend the premium currency to get the goodies. Still, the price was concerning. . One Roll = 1,600 E-Crystals 10+1 Roll = 16,000 E-Crystals . Leo almost vomited blood. This gacha was too expensive. "Are you kidding me?! I swiped 300,000 YOL, but I don''t have enough crystals to roll 10+1?! Which gacha gamepany runs this system?! EA?! MIHOYO?! Are you trying topete with FGO?!" Leo thrashed and tossed his arms in anger. He wished he could refund his lifespan. "Dammit! Fine. It would have been a waste if I hadn''t tried it at least once. I''ll spend some more." As Leo had two extra tickets, he received a small discount. He only needed an additional 2,800 crystals to do the 10+1 roll. Unfortunately, Leo''s muscle memory acted up. He reopened the top-up menu and chose the 10,000 crystal package without thinking and confirmed the purchase. Old habits died hard. "Huh?" Leo''s brain sessfullyputed the data and made him realize the mistake one second after he pressed the button. "NOOOOOO!! I WASTED MY LIFESPAN!!" Leo shed a tear of regret. He scratched and ruffed his hair in frustration. A few minutester, Leo recovered from the mental breakdown. He deeply sighed and switched the gacha page to the mannequin gacha. Leo had enough free buildings. He wanted more helpers. Not expecting anything, Leo pressed the 10+1 roll and spent the free tickets. DING-DING-DING 10 grey balls and one blue ball came out. As Leo had seen them 66 times already, he closed the screen. 10 mannequin workers and one cashier emerged. They stood in formation, looking at their new master. Leo nky assigned them tasks ording to their specialties. The crowd dispersed and ran toward their new workces. After the crowd was gone, Leo picked up the confused puppies and dragged his feet back to his bus. He ignored the local people and entered his bedroom. He didn''t notice that his people were busy carrying pieces of broken drones, jets, and battleships toward the junkyard. . . In the bedroom, Leo found Esen sleeping in his bed. He frowned and checked the time. 2PM. It was too early for someone to go to sleep. "This brat. She''s gettingzier." Leo carried the puppies outside the bus to find someone to take care of them. When he left the bus, he found Yao Qiqi, who explored the parking lot for fun. "Oh, hey little girl. Come here for a second." Yao Qiqi stopped exploring the empty parking lot and ran toward Leo. She spotted the three golden retriever puppies and brightly smiled. "They are so cute! Can I have them?" "" Leo was about to ask Yao Qiqi to find a caretaker. Since Yao Qiqi was a monster tamer, she might suit the job. "Alright. I''ll give you some special food to feed them. Take care of these guys. They just lost their parents." "A. Poor babies." Yao Qiqi hugged the dogs. The puppies sensed her emotion and licked her to cheer her up. "Hehehe! I think they like me!" "Yeah. Sure. Take them to see your master." "Yes, senior!" Yao Qiqi carried the three puppies and flew out of the parking lot. Mentally tired and physically exhausted, Leo felt like taking a nap. He entered his bus and took a bath. Afterward, he slipped into the bed to cuddle with his lovely wife. Sensing Leo, Esen slightly opened her eyes. When she noticed that he only cuddled with her and fell asleep, she faintly smiled and nudged her head against his chest to mark her scent on him like a cat. "Wee home, hubby." Esen uttered in a faint voice. She was embarrassed but it gave her a fuzzy feeling in her chest. Soon, it would be their official wedding ceremony. She looked forward to it.

Chapter 249 Local Floridians Shocked as Snowstorm Approached While Ohio Man Mocked, First Time?

Chapter 249 C Local Floridians Shocked as Snowstorm Approached While Ohio Man Mocked, "First Time?" Fate Stadium In avish suite within the hotel, numerous bookshelves adorned the walls, holding thousands of substantial books. Seated at a central ck wooden table was a sophisticated divine elf with refined blond hair. Ellen reclined on a ck leather chair, propping her feet up on the table. Using a Qi string, she meticulously trimmed her nails from the tips of her fingers, smoothing them afterward. "Max''s headquarters is destroyed by a random yer. Am I hearing that correctly?" Ellen sneered. Milo, the Overlord, remained motionless, folding his arms behind his back. He steadfastly maintained his gaze on his master, never shifting his eyes away. "The opponent is a mysterious entity or a karmic sovereign. He is also a fate crystal bearer since he has a kingdom-building system. I can''t help it." "Is that your excuse?" "It is the unforeseen circumstance, not an excuse." "It''s the same. If you fail your mission, everything thates out of your mouth is an excuse." Milo snorted and red at Ellen, "What do you want me to do then? Get myself killed pursuing the mysterious system user?" "Yes. Is there a problem with that?" "That''s an abusive order and a waste of manpower. Would you prefer losing one of the few entities of our army before we could get a showdown with Overlord Xiaomao and his Cathulhu minions? This doesn''t include Overlord Kishin who has been making suspicious moves recently. Had Overlord Mao never been killed, we would have been at risk of being besieged by three karmic sovereigns!" Ellen nced at Milo''s face. She sneered. "I know. That was a joke. I was just testing you." "That wasn''t even funny." "Sometimes, you just have to act crazy to differentiate betweenpetent subordinates and the bootlickers. I''m d you''re the former." "" Ellen stood up and snapped her fingers. The cabin''s walls turned ck as she released a domain to block their voices from leaking outside. "In a few days, my mother will probably order me to return to the pce. But that''s obviously a trap to lure me." Milo narrowed his eyes. "Shouldn''t you beplying with Her Majesty''s mandate?" "And allow her to destroy my soul and steal my body and dantian? Why should I?" "I don''t understand what you mean." Ellen widely smirked and walked toward a wine table. She poured a ck wine into a ss and downed it in one gulp. Then, her expression turned dark. "My mother has been cursed by the karma river because she destroyed and devoured too many souls. All fate crystals denied her existence and disabled her existence power. She could not increase her lifespan no matter how hard she tried" "Past tense? Does that mean?" Ellen deeply sighed. "Her influence is far and wide. Years ago before I was born, she sold obsolete technologies to inferior races in various worlds in exchange for their research cooperation. Many divine elves were dispatched to inferiors and disguised as the natives. One of them was a called ''Earth''." "" Milo narrowed his eyes. He remembered the name as he once invaded the to search for Leo. Ellen continued. "At that, the dispatched divine elves received the order to establish a colony there permanently. Some of them married with a local and gave birth to inferior elves." "Isn''t that allowed? I mean, now forbids them to do so." "Indeed, it''s legal. However, do you know what my mother ordered them to do next?" "Please enlighten me, Your Highness." Ellen burst intoughter. "My mother went around and tricked Overlord Xiaomao, Overlord Mustafa, and even your lord Overlord Lucky. She offered them so many stars in exchange for a few drops of their blood essence. She distributed them to every research facility and ordered them to clone their blood!" "What? Is that even possible?!" "Yes. It''s obviously impossible since karmic sovereigns and entities'' blood can''t be cloned or reproduced with science or backwater technologies. But guess what? A bastard did it. You know who it was?" "Who?" "Overlord Mao Miaomiao!" "!!!" Ellen pped her forehead and burst intoughter. "That man did something impossible! He demanded my mother to give him her blood essence and let him be one of her consorts!" Overlord Milo widened his eyes in astonishment. He couldn''t imagine how the matriarch would react in that situation. "Did she kill him?" "No! Instead, she double-downed her insanity by ordering the man to create a homunculus using her blood essence and the other overlords'' blood! They captured every child on the and experimented on them with the iplete diluted blood." Ellen walked toward her working table and pulled out a drawer. She picked up a photo of a young African-American child and a white boy with green eyes. "Out of 100 million children, two survived. The ck guy is none other than the husband of Ester. As for the other one, do you know what happened to the boy?" Ellen flickered the photo to Milo. Thetter received it and gazed at the picture. The brown boy resembled the infamous informant, who was known by the alias Ohio Man. As for another boy, his green eyes reminded him of the old man that he saw the other day. "What happened to the boy, Your Highness?" "20 yearster after the picture was taken, Overlord Mao Miaomiao who was a human at that time used a new technique that he and my mother researched on the test subject. Overlord Mao Miaomiao transferred his soul into the body and stole it!" "What?" "Incredible, right? A human with no cultivation knowledge managed to do something that we, karmic sovereigns and entities, cannot aplish. My mother was so overjoyed that she destroyed the entire''s poption and weed Overlord Mao Miaomiao as her consort. They even gave birth to the devil race!" Overlord Milo was astonished. He had been wondering how and why Overlord Mao Miaomiao and his Devil Race suddenly appeared 50,000 years ago. Everything made sense after listening to Ellen''s story. "And thates to my problem. You see, my motherpleted the research on a soul transfer technique, but she can''t simply use it recklessly. The old once said C A body is a container of a soul. If a soul is too big, the container will break. As such, to use that technique, my mother needs a sturdy container that can shelter her soul. You know that she''s a karmic sovereign like me, right?" "!!!" Milo was not stupid. He connected the dots and understood the hidden message. Ellen stopped speaking. She grabbed the bottle of ck wine and drank it directly. When Ellen was done, she told Milo her n. "I''ll never return to my mother and die for her lust for youth. My body belongs to me, not her. This entire mobilization is a distraction. I''ll be forming an alliance with the Cathulhu and Overlord Xiaomao with these forces instead!" "T-This" Ellen snapped her fingers and dispelled the soundproof domain. She shouted and called the person in front of the cabin''s door toe in. "You cane in, brother-inw. The door is unlocked." Overlord Milo turned around at the same time the door was opened. Behind the door was Simba in his human form. Simba entered the cabin and stood next to Overlord Milo. He crossed his arms behind his back like a modern soldier. "Mercenary Ohio Man reports for duty!" Ellen nodded in approval. She shifted her gaze toward Milo. "From now on, I want you two to work together. I want you to go back to my fleet and lead them toward the Cathulhu Star Sector. When they make contact with you, raise a white g and surrender immediately." Simba nodded while Milo reluctantly ced his fist on his left chest to salute. "You''re dismissed." Ellen chased them out. . . Florida Domain In the junkyard, an extensive collection of spaceship parts, damaged hulls, and discarded spacesuits formed a towering heap. Local workers congregated around this heap, examining the unusual metals. Among the workers, Wu Buyi and Tang Xuan were the most industrious researchers, scavenging for metal sheets to study. In the process, they stumbled upon several abandoned storage rings within spacesuits and misceneous containers. Despite both individuals having the rightful im to the rings, neither chose to keep them. Instead, they entrusted the rings to the local mannequins, tasking them with passing the items on to Leo. RUMBLE While the alchemist duo rummaged through the junk, Ivy''s team carried a half-destroyed battleship from the east and dropped them north of the junkyard. A portion of the spaceship touched the half-cooledva field and sunk into the ground. However, none of the hulls showed signs of being melted or burnt. Marc and Beatrice took a short break and gazed at the spaceship. They let out a long sigh as they knew what it was. "It has been a long time since Ist saw this battleship. You know, sister. I used to dream about bing a spaceship pilot when I was a little." "What about now?" Asked Beatrice. "The divine elves are all racists! Because I''m a Molg, they disqualified me before I could even get a chance to take the admission test! They forced me to be a knight like you." The Molg race represented among the various Halfling races scattered across the universe. Their lineage bore traces of both divine elf ancestry and an inherited true vampire bloodline. Consequently, every member of the Molg race possessed elongated fangs and distinctive white hair. They also exhibited an affinity for death magic and cultivation techniques associated with mortality. Historically, the Molgs had served the divine elves as expendable ves, deprived of proper resources for cultivation unless specifically permitted by their masters. The Molgs'' dynamic with the divine elves underwent a transformation with the arrival of Esen. At just five years old, Esen ascended as an immortal and utilized her authority to purchase 70% of the Molg poption from their veholders. Procuring a, she liberated them from bondage. Among the fortunate Molgs were Marc and Beatrice, profoundly grateful to Esen, pledging their unwavering loyalty to her. However, fortune took a turn. By the time Esen reached the age of seven, her younger sister, Ester, falsely incriminated her, leading to her banishment to a distant. Subsequently, Eleanor murdered Esen and ced a curse upon her and her followers, transforming them into undead beings. This dark chapter became part of their history. Reminiscing about the past evoked deep emotions. They harbored gratitude towards Leo, who rescued Esen and facilitated their resurrection. They voluntarily worked without rest. "I''m sure one of the battleships can be repaired. Let''s find another one. I think it crashed somewhere south." Beatrice silently nodded and followed her little brother. . . Meanwhile, the Yan Dynasty''s atmosphere underwent a dramatic shift. Vibrant rainbow auroras manifested above both the North and South Poles. The local temperature plummeted by ten degrees Celsius, leading to a segment of the sea freezing over. The''s snowy expanse expanded, extending closer to the equator. The was on the brink of entering an ice age, heralding the arrival of dense yin Qi permeating the air. Concurrently, the''s core underwent a metamorphosis. The previously white core transformed into a rainbow hue as the exceedingly yang Qi from the atmosphere descended and condensed within the core. As the umtion of yang energy intensified, heat surged. Under the intense heat, rocks and minerals melted, giving rise to torrents ofva that gradually seeped through subterranean crevices. Volcanic mountains, both on the surface and submerged underwater, erupted in session, spewingva akin to fountains, inundating thend with molten soil from the depths. The collision of extreme yin and yang energies caused a resonating buzz, solidifying into small hailstones. These condensed yin and yang energy formations descended to the ground as essence stones - a product of this natural phenomenon! Unfortunately, local cultivators found themselves unable to seize the opportunity to collect these naturally urring essence stones. Most secluded practitioners fled from the volcanic mountains and the piercing cold, seeking refuge in warmer regions. One such location was Leo''s domain, positioned 3,000 kilometers north of the equator line, soon to face the onught of the extreme cold.

Chapter 259 C Florida Man Sued Mother-in-Law for Snorting Coke Without Inviting Him. Shopping Mall, Burger Kung Restaurant. "Last Rizzmas, I gave you my Gyatt. But the very next day, Biboo taxes it away" Wu Buyi hummed while he sang a weird songposed by a vtuber. He sat at the Burgur Kung Restaurant''s table after ordering a double cheeseburger and a mad cow steak burger for 200 essence stones. The food price seemed expensive to many. But in Wu Buyi''s eyes, they were dirt cheap. He was also different from before. Instead of indulging in the smartphone and the inte, Wu Buyi put an alchemy manual, which he had purchased from the infamous bookstore. Flipping a few first pages, he read the table of contents to find the topic he was interested in. "There it is! Quick Alchemy!" Wu Buyi hummed and flipped more pages. He started reading in earnest while the waiter mannequin brought the ordered burgers to his table. 30 minutes passed by. Wu Buyi was so absorbed in reading the books that he forgot about his surroundings. POOF Suddenly, a person in a suit sat at the same table as him. Wu Buyi nced up, annoyed by the rude guy. "Hey, man. The table is taken." Tiger Swordsman rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward. "I see that you bought the lord''s book. What book are you reading?" Seeing Tiger Swordsman''s face, Wu Buyi snorted in disgust. "Just alchemy book." "Every book is a secret manual. It''s not JUST a book." "I know. That''s why I''m reading it." "Cool. Hey, have you entered the time chamber yet? Are you nning to enter it anytime soon?" "What time chamber Oh, that." Wu Buyi thought of Hua Taixu and his dojo, aka the time chamber. He had already entered it once, and he didn''t want to take that Spartan training course ever again. "I''m an alchemist. I''m not into sword fights." "Aren''t you vexed at all, buddy?" "Vexxed from what?" "The helplessness and the despair when the immortals and gods invaded us thest time." "" Upon being reminded of the recent invasion, Wu Buyi''s expression changed. As Tiger Swordsman had said; being useless during a critical time was frustrating. During the invasion, everybody from the Life Sword Sect and the others could do nothing but hide in the underground warehouse. The shameful experience awoke Wu Buyi''s pessimistic thoughts. He snorted in disgust. "I''m nning to dedicate my life to alchemy. You and the swordsman freaks can keep on training and go fight in my stead." "Are you sure?" Tiger Swordsman didn''t give up convincing Wu Buyi, "The old once said, shedding sweat during training is a thousand times better than shedding your blood because you''re unprepared. One day, you will be forced to get intobat, and you might regret it." Wu Buyi closed the book and gave Tiger Swordsman a meaningful look. "Look, Tiger. I know what I''m doing. From the very start, my cultivation base exists to support my career as an alchemist. I never seriously trained in anybat arts until I met Lord Florida Man. But that invasion taught me a lesson. You know what I learned from that?" "What?" "Everybody has a role." Wu Buyi stood up and folded his arms behind his back. Then, he started walking around the table. "Not everybody is geared towardbats. Indeed, cultivators usually can reinforce one''s foundation or grow stronger by fighting someone strong. However, that doesn''t mean every cultivator should fight all the time." "What do you mean?" Wu Buyi grinned. He recalled the knowledge that he had learned from the inte and taught Tiger Swordsman using his own words. "Look, if wepare our raw martial arts skills without ounting for our difference in cultivation base, who do you think would win if we were to fight? You or me?" "Obviously me!" "That''s right." "What''s your point?" "That''s my point exactly! I can''t fight for shit! Do you think an alchemist like me should be put on the frontline while the other nonbatants can benefit the organization as a whole?" "" Wu Buyi deeply sighed and exined. "I''ve learned something important from a lost civilization called the US Military. Although most of their soldiers are trained and anticipated to fight inbat, some of them are actually supporters who specialize in other skills, such as medics, mechanics, engineers, programmers, and many others. Hell, even psychiatrists are a thing!" "What?" "I guess I have to exin using baby vocabries. Anyway, where do you think your weaponse from?" "A cksmith." "Good. Where do you think you need to go to when you''re injured inbat?" "A cave to recuperate?" "Idiot! A hospital or an infirmary! You need to see either a doctor or an alchemist like me!" Wu Buyi spent hours lecturing about the supporting roles in armies. Because his voice was so loud, several bystanders stopped to listen to Wu Buyi''s lecture. By the time Wu Buyi realized it, a hundred cultivators already sat around his table, listening to his teachings. Everybody got enlightened. "I see! Everybody has a different role!" "We don''t need to treat cultivation as an exclusive martial art. Instead, we use it as a supplement for our future career or goals, I see!" "II have awakened a dao" Several people murmured in astonishment and respect. A dozen of them showed respect to Wu Buyi by kneeling and cupping their fists. "Great Teacher Wu! Thank you for your teachings!" "Great Teacher Wu! We''re enlightened! Thank you!" Meanwhile, Wu Buyi nkly stared at the people around him in confusion. "What the hell are you lots doing here? Get out of my sight! This ain''t a zoo! SHOO! SHOO!" . . Leo watched the crowd from the 5th floor''s balcony. He faintly smiled as he enjoyed watching the local cultivators getting adapted to the new technologies and lifestyle. He was proud of them. While observing the people below, Esen, Ivy, Beatrice, and Marc approached him from behind. The elfen wife stood next to him and gazed at the crowd below. "Are you free today?" Asked Esen "Somewhat. Do you need anything?" "Give me some books. I don''t want to spend my lifespan." Leo snickered and patted her head. He then guided her and her entourage to the bookstore and granted them free ess to the library. The library contained more books than the bookstore. However, only three copies of each book were kept there to save space. Despite containing fewer duplicated books, the tall bookshelves, and endless room was full of manuals and books of various sizes. Leo reminded them, "You can read free books here. But bear in mind that you can''t bring it out when I''m not around. If you really need one, I''ll print one for you." Beatrice, Marc, and Ivy bowed in gratitude. As for Esen, she puffed her chest in tion. "Good job! This is what you should do as my husband!" Everybody giggled as they found Esen adorable even though her appearance and body reached adulthood. Leo wrapped his arm around Esen''s shoulder while she leaned her head on his chest. They wished that they could enjoy this tranquil and peaceful time forever. . . DING DING DING A hundred blue system screens shed and orbited around a naked beautiful elf within a water capsule. Her face, skin, and body features looked the same as Esen''s. She was Eleanor, the Matriarch or the Queen of the Divine Elf. She was also one of the few karmic sovereigns of this universe. While being inside the water capsule, Eleanor slowly opened her eyelids. She woke up from her long dream. "Found you, Esen. It was the right decision to imprison you there. I knew someone would rescue you and unlock your potential. Now, I have two spare bodies I can transfer my soul into" Eleanor rose up and pushed the hatch open. Her eyes glowed in green color while her rainbow aura exuded from her body. The water in the capsule glittered in rainbow simr to the water of Florida Canyon River. Next to the capsule, a silver werewolf stood with his arms crossed. He was none other than Overlord Lucky, the strongest werewolf overlord of the Fenrir Werewolf. He only nced at his master and gave a short report. "Princess Ellen has betrayed us and joined forces with Overlord Xiaomao. From the report, Mercenary Ohio Man, Overlord Milo, and others followed her. What should we do about them?" Eleanor lightly sighed. She nonchntly put on her clothes while being watched by the werewolf. "Leave them be. Don''t bother attacking them right now." "Why? Isn''t Ellen your spare body?" "It doesn''t matter anymore. ANOTHER spare body has more potential." "Who?" "The crown princess Esen. Also, I''m interested in the person who unlocked her potential." Eleanor swiped away the system screens in front of her except one. The monitor showed the portrait of a handsome young man in his mid-20s. It was the old portrait of Mao Miaomiao. However, Eleanor knew who the real owner of that body was. "Who would have thought that the boy back then would have risen up from the ash? I guess the Phoenix bloodline is not for show." Overlord Lucky didn''t utter a word. He closed his eyes and turned away. "So, what''s next?" Eleanor walked out of her chamber and ordered him. "Bring every overlord in our army. Capture a system user by the name ''Florida Man'' and the crown princess at all costs." "And if they resist?" "Cut off their limbs and bring me their limbless torso. I can still use them." Chapter 263 Florida Man Arrested Again as His “Cat” Swallowed His Neighbor Whole.

Chapter 263 Florida Man Arrested Again as His Cat Swallowed His Neighbor Whole. ?

Chapter 263 C Florida Man Arrested Again as His "Cat" Swallowed His Neighbor Whole. Leo secretly sank his consciousness into his dantian universe again. He had already defeated Vendettito 5,000 times, but he hadn''t enough. He attempted to learn thebo of the guy''s healing magic, creation magic, the mandate of nature, and the providence domain of nature. The clone manifested in Leo''s universe again. He stood on the grasnd world that Leo always used as a battleground against all fighters in the past, brandishing a railgun rifle and aiming at Leo who positioned himself 100 meters away. PWHOOSH The railgun uttered a muffled sound. A ck lightning bolt traveled at the speed of light and urately hit Leo''s face. ZZZZZZ Leo was knocked 100 meters backward. A burnt mark was left behind on his forehead. "Dammit. I want to study yourbo, not your stupid anti-domain railgun." Vendettito''s clone didn''t bother listening to Leo. He kept firing while a green magic circle emerged under his feet. It expanded like a ripple, covering a span of 100 kilometers instantly. Leo had seen this move several thousand times. He wryly smiled while he swiped his dirty forehead. "Herees the mandate. So, the next move is" A ck stone spike protruded from the ground, threatening to pierce Leo like a kebab. Thetter shifted his body to the side and avoided the attack by a hairbreadth. The ck spike transformed into a ck tree. Sharp branches extended from the spike and pursued Leo like a homing missile. Leo lightly kicked the ground and vanished. He reappeared behind Vendettito and threw a light jab. Vendettito also instantly teleported like a character from DBZ. He reappeared behind Leo while he pointed the railgun at the back of Leo''s head at point-nk range. PWHOOSH The beam directly hit Leo, causing him to tumble forward. At the same time, a new spike emerged from the ground and came for Leo''s head. "Oh, boy. Thisbo again? I want to learn a new one." Leo purposely remained still. BONK The spike failed to prate Leo''s forehead. The surface of the stone shattered, but it managed to push Leo''s head backward. Vendettito''s clone realized that no attack worked on Leo. He sacrificed some of his lifespans to cast creation magic and healing magic at once. A t 10cm-diameter silver magic circle of a healing spell appeared first. But as soon as the creation magicbined with the old spell, the magic circle changed shapes, transforming into a ck runic symbol. It spelled ''Death''. Leo nced at the spell and smirked. He took notes, "Finally a new trick. I guess I have to let you attack me a few times for you to use your ultimatebo, I see." In the previous fights, Leo didn''t wait for the clones to attack him first. He fought like a game-speedrunner, defeating the clones within a minute of every fight. He thought that he could master every skill that the clones had. Unfortunately, Leo had already absorbed so many fragments of memory and experience. All the experience he had learned so far wasn''t warranted. He needed to put them into practice by either learning it from the user or using it himself. Getting hit by their skillbination was a quick way to master their abilities. Within a minute, Leo was enlightened. "Ah, yes. Mixing magic creates a new magic entirely. Also, that creation magic works with other magic" Leo vanished while being in mid-air. He reappeared a hundred meters away from Vedettito. The death symbol missed the target. However, Vendettito put his right palm on his left bicep while his left hand formed a two-finger sword. He waved his fingers,manding the death symbol to chase after Leo. While he was at it, a thousand ck and white magic circles manifested and surrounded Leo from all sides. Leo nced at the thousand silver geometric symbols. He thought of a certain healer in an 18+ anime and smirked. "Right. Reverse healing. Thanks again. I learn a lot." Leo lightly stomped the ground. A t silver magic circle manifested and ovepped with Vendettito''s providence domain. Leo then snapped his fingers and imitated the abilities of Vendettito in a different version. He imagined the word ''Steal''. PLOP PLOP All magic circles in the air turned ck one after another. They stopped moving toward him. Vendettito flinched. A secondter, he coughed blood as he lost control of his domain power. "If creation magic can tamper with other spells, then will it work against Qi-based domain abilities andws? I guess it works." After he had sessfully stolen allpleted spells in Vendettito''s domain, including his mandate and providence domains, Leo had enough. He swiped his hand, gesturing a slice while aiming at Vendettito''s neck. SWUA Vendettito''s head fell from his shoulder. His artificial soul was also cut in half and vanished. DING Leo shrugged. He returned his consciousness to reality with the newfound power. . . When Leo reopened his eyes, the team already entered the fortress. The steel gate behind them lowered and closed the entrance road. "Hmm?" Leo looked back and noticed that Vendettito''s men quickly closed the gate right after everybody had gotten in. He raised his eyebrows in suspicion. "Among Us?" The others looked at Leo, "Among us?" "It''s nothing. Just muttering to myself." "..Okay." Leo inwardlyughed while the SFX of a certain game echoed in his mind. He wondered what Vendettito was cooking, and he couldn''t wait to shove it up the chef''s rectum. Meanwhile, Vendettito was satisfied with the preparation. He had bought an hour. With this much time spent, Eleanor should have learned about the wanted man''s location. "By the way," Vendettito nced at the wolf golem that Leo had been riding. As it resembled the Fenrir Werewolf race, he couldn''t help but ask. "What''s your rtionship with the werewolf race? I see that you''re using a golem of a Fenrir Werewolf. Are you close with them?" Leo patted Lucky''s head and feigned ignorance, "What Fenrir Werewolf? Are they some kind of endangered species?" "The Fenrir Werewolves are the second-ss poption of DEZNUTS. Although they aren''t important, I hope you won''t treat them as pets or anything simr. They have rights." "If you mean the right to invade someone''s unprovoked, I would like you to remove that soon. It''s annoying." Vendettito frowned and stopped walking. He turned around while the group was on the main road between two training grounds of local soldiers. "What do you mean? Did they invade your?" "No. They actually invaded my friend''s, and I don''t like it." "I see. Who is your friend?" "Overlord Lucky." "" Again, Vendettito deeply furrowed his eyebrows. He was certain that Overlord Lucky was Eleanor''s right-hand man. By logic, the overlord should not be Leo''s friend. Since their rtionship seemedplicated, Vendettito chose not to proactively attack Leo first. He continued buying time, waiting for Eleanor''s troops to arrive. "I see that you''re friends with one of our great generals. For now, let''s get inside the castle. We have prepared rooms to amodate you. Also, at night, we shall hold a wee banquet." "That''s very nice of you. By the way, I have another question." Leo scanned the fortress and checked the number of garrisons. A total of 2,000 immortals, 20 deities, five sages, and two entities were present. No mortal was nearby. After confirming the number of potential enemies, Leo requested something absurd. "Does your have something like this?" Leo brought out a piece of sky fate crystal from his alien ring. He flipped it around to show it to Vendettito and nearby elves. As Leo had expected, Vendettito''s expression turned solemn. He took a few seconds to pace his breath and inquired, "What is that, sir?" "A fate crystal. I''m a collector, you see. I hope that your has these. I would like to make a trade with you for such crystals." "Unfortunately, this is the first time I''ve seen the crystal. I doubt we even have one on this." "Are you sure?" "We are sure." "Cool. Then, let''s not waste time. Could you open the gate and let my men return? Since there is no need for a trade, their trip will be in vain. Instead of letting them get stuck here for days, I''d like them to go back and spend their time cultivating back home." "" Vendettito nced at the crowd of immortals. He sized up Hua Jiashan, Han Hao, Han Meng, and others. Since they were weak quasi-immortals and immortals, he thought they were Leo''s luggage carriers. "Since we''re here, won''t you let them have some rest and enjoy the feast first?" "It''s just an hour walk. They''re all immortals. I doubt they need rest." Leo nced at Ricardo and Taxi. He secretly sent a sound transmission to them. ''These green people are not friendly. I think they are nning to kill us here. Bring the others back first.'' Taxi and Ricardo''s expressions turned dark. They didn''t move an inch, but they replied. ''SMASH!'' (Understood. By the way, would you like us to call for reinforcement?) ''Lucky and I are enough. But if you''re worried, go tell the devil and the fisherman statue that I might be in trouble.'' ''SMASH!'' (Got it!) Leo shifted his gaze to Vendettito, "Well? Can they go home first?" "What about you?" "I will stay, of course." "Then, I don''t see any problem. GUARDS! OPEN THE GATE AND ESCORT THE FRIENDS BACK TO THEIR PORTAL!" Getting permission, Leo patted Lucky''s head. He whispered. "Go with them. Kill anyone if they y any trick." Lucky''s pupils dted. He sneered at the elves, "Woof!" Hua Jiashan and the others were still confused as to why Leo suddenly drove them back. But since Leo made the decision, they reluctantly followed the escorting soldiers to leave the fortress. Lucky followed after them while he observed the guards. Nine guests left. Leo remained behind. The gate was closed again. While monitoring the group with his senses, Leo gestured to Vendettito, "Let''s get in. I can''t wait to see the food." . . Meanwhile, Cat was perplexed. She couldn''t understand why Leo forced them to go home when the fortress seemed delicious. "Nom-Nom Meow?" (Can I eat the fortress? The white metal smells really delicious!) Taxi patted Cat''s head. "Smash." (Not yet. The lord said that there were ambushes inside. He drove us out to protect us.) "NYA?!" (Enemies?! Are those green people enemies?!) "Smash." (It seems that way.) "Nom-Nom Meow <3" (Then, can I eat them now?) "Smash!" (Of course not-) It was toote for Taxi to stop Cat. The group had only exited the fortress by a minute, but Cat already approached the nearest green elf soldier. The soldier wore a set of thick ck leather armor, made from a bear of this. Its odor was simr to a piece of dried meat. Cat drooled when her nose caught the scent. She rushed toward the elf who followed them at the back, then she tugged his shirt. "Nom-Nom Meow?" (Let me eat you, please.) "What?" The elf couldn''t understand Cat''s weirdnguage. By the time he turned to Cat, thetter''s head expanded by 2 meters in diameter. Like a snake, her mouth opened wide and chomped down on the unsuspected elf. GULP Cat didn''t bother chewing the elf. She swallowed him whole and let her digestive fluid melt him. Chapter 265 Karen Called Cops on Florida Man for Marrying Her Daughter Whom She Attempted to Murder.

Chapter 265 Karen Called Cops on Florida Man for Marrying Her Daughter Whom She Attempted to Murder.

Chapter 265 C Karen Called Cops on Florida Man for Marrying Her Daughter Whom She Attempted to Murder. The fortress "Parodies" was located in the middle of the province. Not only it was the home of Vendettito, but it was also the primary assembly point for soldiers. Thus, many strong sages and deities garrisoned in this fortress. The primary materials of this fortress were strange white bricks and stones. They exuded strong yang Qi, soothing everybody within the fortress. Because of its nature, the weather inside the fortress was warmer than the outside. In the fortress, Leo inspected the interior of the fortress. The ceiling was quite short as it was only two meters tall. Only two people could fit in a hallway at once, and many random jars and tables sometimes got in the way of walking. Moreover, no light source existed except for the glowing white stones on the floor. The interior of the fortress was designed to hinder potential intruders or troops. As the hallways and the ceiling were small, not many troops could enter the fortress at once, making it easier to defend. In addition, the hallways and the passageways in this fortress were a maze. He had been following Vendettito for 10 minutes in this building, but they hadn''t found the stairs to the higher floor yet. Leo grumbled while he followed Vendettito into the fortress. The room temperature was already 60 degrees Celsius, which was absurdly ufortable for someone who always lived in a cold climate. Despite being in this environment, Leo never broke a sweat. Vendettito, on the other hand, seemedfortable in this temperature. He sneaked nces at Leo and inwardly smirked. "How is the fortress, Sir Florida Man? Does the yang Qi of our pce suit your liking?" Leo snorted, "Are we there yet? We have been walking in this maze for a while." "We can''t help it. This fortress is already old. It was designed this way to defend against a siege." "Yeah, right. Siege. A warship could have bombarded this ce to the Stone Age. What''s the point of this floor n?" "Hahahaha! You must haven''t heard about the Styx y before. This fortress and the walls are built using the Styx y. No anti-domain gun or mandate domain can put a dent on it unless you''re a karmic sovereign." "That''s what I''m saying. It''s pointless. If a karmic sovereign can destroy it, why bother making itplicated? Those guys can just simply teleport randomly and enter your house, no? I bet housemaids neverst a month working here. Cleaning these hallways and the entire maze is a hassle." Vendettito narrowed his eyes. He knew that Leo was strong, but he didn''t believe that Leo was capable of destroying this fortress. He continued bringing Leo deeper into the fortress to buy more time. However, Leo was tired of this farce. He stopped walking and ced his hand on a wall. DING Arge chunk of the wall vanished into Leo''s system inventory. He nned to research this materialte. Vendettito didn''t notice the disappearance of the wall. He continued walking, leading Leo. Seeing how Vendettito no longer paid attention to his actions, Leo grinned and hurried his feet. He followed Vendettito while he randomly touched things, storing and stealing everything he touched. Leo got greedier. Instead of touching the walls, doors, or random furniture on the way, he reached out and touched the short ceiling. DING DING Like a monkey, Leo walked while he raised his hands to the sky. He snickered and kept up the pace. As Leo stole more walls and white blocks, the wind blew into the hallway. Vendettito noticed it and turned around. "Huh?" Leo instantly stopped ying around. He deeply inhaled and unleashed his time and space domain. CLICK-CLICK-CLICK The clocks stopped ticking while the time in the sr system froze. ''Time to finish this. I should start by getting rid of this fool.'' Leo didn''t bother waiting to confirm Vendettito''s motive. He threw a punch to the elf''s face, exploding his head upon impact. The pieces of flesh scattered in every direction for a few seconds before they were suspended in mid-air. Unfortunately, killing an entity was not a simple task. As soon as Leo destroyed Vendettito''s head, his soul was ejected from the body and flew away even though Leo''s time domain was in effect. "Nope! You''re not getting away!" Leo extended his hand into a grasp motion. As soon as he clenched his fist, the transparent blue orb of Vendettito''s soul shattered into dust. "Alright!" Leoughed after confirming the kill. He turned his attention to the fortress next. He maintained the power of time domain and took advantage of it. "It would have been a shame if we returned empty-handed. Time to loot." . . In the gship, Eleanor, Dowbad, and Overlord Lucky were about to teleport to the Parodies Fortress to assess the situation Dowbad vanished first as he was eager to y with the wanted man. CLICK-CLICK-CLICK As soon as Dowbad was gone, the time domain of Leo reached them. Everybody in the ship and the other motherships were suspended in the grey domain. "Heh, a time and spacew? How cute." Overlord Lucky snorted and broke out of the time domain. He rubbed his arms and prepared to destroy it. Eleanor also easily broke free from the domain''s restriction. However, her expression was still dark as she was still wary of a certain dead researcher. "I told Mao Miaomiao to kill everybody, including An and the local elves! How did he survive?!" Eleanor ignored the time domain. Because of her anxiousness, she teleported away and reappeared 50 gxies away from the gship. Below here was the karma river of this universe. Although it was called a river, the mass of white water wasrger than Earth''s water mass. They covered the span of 49 sr systemsbined. It was a radiant ocean in the void! Countless souls hibernated in there, waiting for their reincarnation opportunities. At the bottom of the sea hid the embryos of new souls who were about to rece the destroyed souls. Eleanor scanned through the White Sea and searched for the souls of Mao Miaomiao, An, and the people who were involved in the project. 10 minutester, she managed to locate some of the scientists and rtives of the local elves. However, she couldn''t find An and Mao Miaomiao. This confirmed her worries. "As I thought. An, you''re still lurking in this universe. That was not just a typical will. It WAS your consciousness and your soul!" Eleanor smacked her lips as she remembered An well. . . An was a famous divine elf who graduated from the royal academy at the age of 13. The man reached the entity realm at the age of 16, breaking all the records of divine elves. His talent piqued Eleanor''s interest in his bloodline and intelligence. She invited him to join her harem, hoping to merge his bloodline with hers to give birth to talented children. Unfortunately, An was uncooperative. Instead of joining Eleanor''s harem, he epted a lowly spy job and was deployed to Earth. Coincidentally, the task was rted to Eleanor''s secret project C The Soul Transfer Research Project. Eleanor was enraged when she discovered the news. She traveled to Earth to visit An. Then, she offered him to be his mentor, hoping to win him back. An epted. He became Eleanor''s disciple for a while, and their rtionship got closer. However, An always rejected Eleanor''s approach when things got too intimate. Because of An''s dullness, Eleanor got bored of him. She returned to her constetion as she had a domain to manage. She thought that An would still respect her as his mentor. Again, An quickly betrayed Eleanor. He fell in love with a female human scientist and married her. She soon conceived a baby boy named Leonardo. The news of An''s marriage quickly reached Eleanor. Her pride as the queen shattered, and she wanted him and his family dead in the most painful way possible. Thus, she started colluding with Dr. Mao, who was a harmless earthling. Because of Dr. Mao and the local governments, the kid ''Leonardo'' was forced to join the project as one of the test subjects. An and his wife protested at first. But when Eleanor made her appearance and personally monitored the project, An and his wife were forced to cooperate. Still, An was not stupid enough to sit idly and wait for his son to die. He scammed Eleanor to exchange her stars with the top overlord''s blood to boost the project''s sess rate. He even seduced her, promising her that he would divorce his wife and join her harem. Eleanor sumbed to An''s scheme and agreed to his request. She contacted several overlords, such as Overlord Xiaomao, Overlord Mustafa of Cathulhu, and the phoenix overlord for their bloodline. The valuable blood essence was cloned and distributed to the test subjectster. With An''s help, the first few phases were sessful. The test subject ''Leonardo'' and ''Simba'' evolved, and their physiques becamepatible with a divine elf''s soul. But when it was time for An to fulfill his promise and surrender himself to Eleanor, he escaped with his son and ''Simba''. They disguised themselves asmoners and hid in Florida for decades until Dr. Mao Miaomiao reported the news to Eleanor. Afterward, a tragedy struck. . . Eleanor stopped thinking. She seethed her anger whenever she thought of her former crush. "I taught you everything. I gave you wealth, status, and fame, yet you chose a powerless human. Very well, since that FLORIDA MAN is your son, I''ll send you and him to hell together! But first, I have this!" Eleanor burst intoughter while she pointed her finger at the karma river. "Imand you! From now on, I''m your master! You all shall join my dantian universe and be my power!" RUMBLE As soon as Eleanor''s mandate was in effect, the entire White Sea shrank and entered Eleanor''s dantian. All quadrillion souls in the river vanished into her body. Eleanor''s cultivation base increased. As a karmic sovereign, every karma river inside her increased her strength by a stage. Moreover, each karma river could negate death, allowing her to self-resurrect whenever and wherever she wanted. After digesting the karma river, she thought of Mao Miaomiao. Eleanor still doubted how that devil perished even though he could consume souls in his dantian universe''s karma rivers to self-resurrect. ''Tsk. That moron. Well, it doesn''t matter. With this, An and that Florida Man won''t be my opponent! I''ll crush them myself!'' Eleanor teleported again and reappeared on top of the Parodies Fortress. Next to her was Dowbad, who had already broken free from Leo''s restrictions. The captain looked at his master. "Are we attacking him together?" Eleanor snorted, "Kill him in one attack. I don''t care what happens to his soul. I want him dead." "Good. I''ll make the first move!" A trail of water flowed out from Dowbad''s fingers and the pores of his skin. They were the water from his karma river, which could instantly destroy any foreign entity or karmic sovereign''s body upon touch. But instead of aiming at Leo on the first floor, Dowbad gathered the water mass and targeted Leo''s time and space domain. He made a sh motion. . . Leo looked up as he sensed two karmic sovereigns on top of the fortress within his domain. "Ah. Right. The domain vulnerability. How annoying." Leo retracted the domain. But instead of dispelling itpletely, Leo cast a new spell to trick the two enemies. A magic circle appeared underground, covering the entire fortress. It was Leo''sbination between the nature spell and the creation spell. The spell transformed the geometric symbols in the circle into words C SLOW. RUMBLE The spell worked as intended. Aside from the caster, everybody in the domain moved in slow motion. SWUA As soon as the spell reced the time domain, Dowbad''s attack hit the spell''s magic circle. It shattered the word in one hit. The slow-motion effect was dispelled! "Wow. That was close!" Leoughed and kicked the ground, teleporting himself to the sky. When Leo reappeared, he looked down and found himself above the fortress. On a fortress tower''s rooftop, two karmic sovereigns looked up and stared at him. Leo and Eleanor stared at each other. Thetter raised her eyebrows in astonishment as Leo''s face looked exactly like An''s. "" Seeing the child of the man she once loved, Eleanor''s heart softened. She ceased her killing intent. "Florida Man, I assume." Leo snorted, "You look like Esen. Are you her mother?" "Oh?" Eleanor was surprised. She narrowed her eyes. "Do you know my daughter?" "She''s my wife, of course!" Eleanor was taken aback. Because Leo''s voice and face were simr to An''s, the PTSD of the past resurfaced. "You father and son are the same. Your stupidity knows no bounds." Leo ignored herment since he was used to being called stupid. "Well, if you''re her mother, I must express my gratitude. Thanks for giving birth to my cute wife and throwing her away. I''m not sorry that I banged your daughter, and I ain''t refunding or returning her. Finder''s keeper!" "You, what?" "Anyway, what''s your problem? Why the hell did you kill and curse your daughter? Are you one of those ''I''m a proud single mother, but I can''t raise children for shit'' mothers? Also, who''s her father anyway, I''m curious. Don''t tell me that you don''t remember whose dick you rode, bitch. Should I change the questions to wait a second. Out of context, what''s your body count? 5? 10? 50? Spartan 300?" "" After witnessing Leo''s weird tone and manner, Eleanor changed her mind. She wasn''t into freaks or men with mental issues. Eleanor raised her arm and unleashed her power. "Go to hell." Chapter 268 Florida Man Allegedly Killed Stripper by Throwing Landmine on Her Dance Stage.

Chapter 268 Florida Man Allegedly Killed Stripper by Throwing Landmine on Her Dance Stage.

Chapter 268 C Florida Man Allegedly Killed Stripper by Throwing Landmine on Her Dance Stage. Leo stared at the fight between overlord Lucky and his subordinate. The two werewolves looked like heavyweight boxers duking it out. No Qi, no magic, just pure manliness. Leo respected their choices. He nced at the nearby green elves and lightly exuded his killing intent. The immortal elves shrank back in fear. They also noticed the female divine elf on Leo''s shoulder, but none of them dared to stop or call out Leo. "You three, go home. You too, Cat! Stop eating random things around here and leave!" Cat was still busy eating Rockhart''s corpse. She pouted at Leo. "Nom-Nom Meow!" (I haven''t eaten enough yet!) Leo knew what she wanted. He ejected a chunk of raw mad cow''s meat and threw it at her. Cat''s monster mouth was faster than a hungry dog''s mouth. She caught it and chewed it in glee. "You''ll get more if you obediently return. Go home." Cat repeatedly nodded. She transformed into a human while her mouth was still chewing the meat earlier. Seeing that the troublemaker chose to leave, Taxi and Ricardo nodded at Leo and followed after the dark dryad. After the liabilities were gone, Leo tossed Eleanor''s limbless body on the ground and muttered an incantation of creation magic. He created a new magic spell C Soul Bind. Seven rainbow metal chains, made of karma water, bound Eleanor''s body andtched her with the seven floating magic circles around her. They tightened the bind as if the chains wished to tear her body into pieces. Leo sat next to Eleanor to monitor her regeneration rate. While he observed Eleanor, he closed his eyes and returned his consciousness to the simtion mode. . . On a grasnd that Leo used as a battleground, a clone of Eleanor stood 300 meters away from Leo. Donned in a jewel crown and see-through dress, she seductively moved her hips and yed with a wane in her hand in a sexual way. Leo gazed at the clone of Esen''s mother. He let out a long sigh while he nced at the clone''s status. . Name: Eleanor Sydin, the Transcendent Race: Divine Elf Age: 155,268 Cultivation Base: Transcendent Level 1 Skills: Transcended Dao of True Immortality, Transcended Dao of Necromancy, Transcended Dao of Grand Curse, True Death Grand Magic Specials: Divine Elf Bloodline, Grand Subi Bloodline, Vampire Progenitor Bloodline Favorite Weaponry: Divine Cane of Seven Virtues, Cursed Wane of Seven Sins Potential Percentage: 1,000% . Leo miscalcted. Although Eleanor''s current cultivation base reached the karmic sovereign stage, the system gave birth to a stronger version which became a huge issue. Because of her abnormal dao and cultivation strength, Leo kept losing to her. As the clone had defeated Leo in the simtion mode so many times, she started to get cocky. She no longer proactively tried to defeat him after she was summoned. Instead, she teased him, tempting him with her bodily charm. The clone slowly stripped her clothes, trinkets, and footwear. She shook her hips and touched various parts of her body. Leo was annoyed. Had the clone been Esen, he would have stripped naked and jumped her without hesitation. However, he was sane enough not to fall for a hag. ''Should I lower the difficulty? But if I do, I can''t copy her skills or materialize her personal weapon.'' He tried one more time. This time, Leo chose not to rely on any weapon, dao domain, or magic. He charged at Eleanor''s clone head-on. Eleanor giggled and tossed her weapons away. She opened her arms and allowed Leo to punch her. Leo closed the distance and reached a punching range. He threw a right hook toward Eleanor''s face. THUMP! Suddenly, Leo''s heart clenched. His entire body was paralyzed for no reason. Eleanor''s eyes and her heart-shaped crotch tattoo glowed in pink light while she ogled Leo''s manly physique. This wasn''t her first time using the cursed wane of seven sins to bind Leo''s soul. She gently stroked Leo''s face and slowly stripped him. Leo knew what she was aiming for. This divine elf was not just a regr elf but a mixed subus and vampire. Moreover, he once got bitten in various parts and lost all his blood before. "Do you like my blood that much? Fine, I''ll grant you something better!" As Leo understood that he would lose to the clone again, he chose to preserve his pride by self-detonating his body! BOOOOOM! Leo''s flesh and blood radiated in rainbow light. A rainbow me erupted, devouring the entire star system and Eleanor''s clone with it. Leo''s artificial soul ejected from his flesh. He mimicked An''s personal soul technique, regenerating his lost flesh and blood and restoring his fleshly body. RUMBLE The destroyeds also restored themselves. The grasnd and the other neighboring stars looked brand new as if the fight had never happened. DING "" Leonded on the grasnd and pursed his lips. He managed to destroy Eleanor''s soul by self-detonating. However, that wasn''t the answer he was searching for. He needed a better method to kill Eleanor. Destroying the entire to kill this woman was overkill. Suddenly, Leo had an epiphany. He thought of a partial destruction technique, which limited the sting range. Testing his theory, Leo stretched his right arm and made it explode. BOOOOOM A massive mushroom cloud and a wide me st engulfed the entire. The star slowly cracked and was broken into pieces. RUMBLE Again, the star repaired itself and became anew. Leo''s arm, flesh, bone, and blood also regenerated. "Still too strong. How about a finger" BOOOOM! This time, a small nuke exploded. The st consumed everything within 1,000 kilometers in diameter at first. However, the me spread and consumed the entire in an hour, turning the entire into a new Sun. Leo stood in the sea of me and gazed at his missing pinky finger. He deeply sighed. "That''s not it either. I can''t detonate my flesh at all or the entire star will be destroyed. How about something smaller such as a drop of my blood?" The experiment continued . . 10 minutes in the real world was equal to 10,000 minutes in the dantian universe. After seven days of experiment, Leo finished his preparation. He summoned Eleanor''s clone to fight again. The clone stopped ying around. She reinforced her clothes, wane, and cane with unknown pink miasma fog. Then, she red into Leo''s eyes. Leo flinched as he sensed something entering his brain. The next second, his physical brain melted into goo! Leo''s soul was ejected from the body, but he didn''t give up. Hemanded his flesh and blood within the dying body with his Qi. The melted brain reverted to a functioning brain once more. Leo''s soul reentered the body and grumbled. "Damn that mind attack again. That''s kinda annoying." Leo stomped his feet and created a magic circle underneath his feet. He also poured karma water out of his skin pores. Rainbow blood manifested from the circle. At the same time, transparent blood from Leo''s body mixed with the magical blood, creating a new substance. Eleanor''s face changed. She kicked the ground and teleported 100 light years away from the. Leo finally confirmed his hypothesis. He burst intoughter and pursued the fleeing clone while bringing the mixed blood along. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING, HONEY?! COME BACK HERE!" . . An hour passed since Lucky and Overlord Lucky exchanged fists. They took a step back and panted in exhaustion. The overlord did everything he could, but he failed to crack the golem. Vice versa, Lucky did his best, but the overlord''s regenerative power negated the umted damage on his body. In the end, both couldn''t harm each other. Overlord Lucky finally smiled. He stood straight and extended his hand. "Good fight. I''m Lucky of Fenrir Werewolf. What''s your name, golem?" "Hmm, woof?" Lucky was confused at first. But since the overlord showed his respect, he did the same. "My name is also Lucky, woof! I''m one of the Florida Domain''s Heavenly Kings, woof!" They shook hands and gazed at each other in the eyes. The overlord nodded in approval even though the copycat''s name slightly offended him. "I guess your creator used my blood essence to make you. Well, since you are my copy, won''t you follow me and work for me? Our race wees you with open arms!" Lucky snickered and shook his head, "No, thanks, woof! My ce is veryfy, woof! I won''t betray my master also, woof!" "I see that you are faithful to your master. Is his name Florida Man?" "Yes. He''s over there, woof." Both werewolves turned and looked at Leo, who was still meditating next to Eleanor''s limbless body. Overlord Lucky gave Leo a meaningful look. Although Leo looked defenseless, he chose not to provoke him. They might have a grudge against each other, but the overlord was not in the mood to exact his revenge. He looked at the copycat and sized him up. Upon noticing the strange clothes on the golem, he bitterly smiled. "Did Florida Man give you those treasures?" Lucky puffed his chest, "Yes, woof! My master is very kind, woof!" "I envy you. I wish my master had half of your master''s generosity." "What do you mean, woof?" "We''re her vesNever mind." Overlord Lucky closed his eyes and deeply sighed. He patted the golem''s shoulder, "Cherish your master and your colleagues. I hope that you can rece me and be the new pir of our race in the future." "What do you mean, woof?" The overlord didn''t answer. He faded away, leaving the entire. "" Lucky looked at the sky as he sensed the overlord''s presence leaving this. He sensed a tinge of sadness in the overlord''s voice. . . Meanwhile, Dowbad already put on his clothes and sat on the captain''s seat. He gazed at the monitors, which broadcasted the movements of Overlord Lucky and Leo. Seeing that the overlord had retreated, Dowbad nced at Eleanor who had be a captive. "Heh. If you die, the DEZNUTS council''s president seat will be empty. Since I''m also a karmic sovereign, I have the qualification to im that! Thanks for driving your daughters away, idiot queen! Your throne will be mine!! OPERATORS, FOCUS ALL WEAPONS ON THAT PLANET! CONCENTRATE EVERYTHING ON THE QUEEN ELEANOR!! KILL HER AND ERASE THAT PLANET!!" Cubic motherships gradually transformed into cylinders. They rotated and condensed a massive ck lightning ball, ck fireball, and ck karma water at the center. Thebination of three energies created a faint rainbow light. The motherships'' modules and hulls cracked as they couldn''t contain the rampaging energy anymore. On the monitors of Dowbad''s ship, the feed showed the capacity rate of 120%. The captain burst intoughter and ordered his men. "FIRE AT WILL!! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!! HAHAHAHAHAA!!" All cylinders unleashed faint rainbow beams toward the of green elves! Chapter 271 Florida Man Claims Immortality Achieved After 33 Days of Sunbathing Chapter 271 Florida Man ims Immortality Achieved After 33 Days of Sunbathing Chapter 271 C Florida Man ims Immortality Achieved After 33 Days of Sunbathing While the clock was ticking, Leo floated in space, staring at the frozen beams from the cylinder warships. 50 beams formed 50 pirs, threatening to punch through the below. "Pushing the entire out of the way? But if I do that, the might go out of the orbit path. It will surely ruin the ecological system and the weather cycles. Also, I have never pushed a in my life. Even if I do it, I might end up digging the ground and find myself in the depths of the instead. No rock or natural soil can withstand that force. Hmm What to do?" Even though Leo was not the smartest, he racked his brain to find the best solution. He always thought of the worst-case scenarios and the aftermath whenever he came up with a solution. Pushing a out of the beam''s trajectory was impossible as the couldn''t withstand such a kic force. Leo might end up destroying it instead. Moving the cylinder ships was also not an option. As the beams had already concentrated a mass of Qi and unleashed a beam, 50% of the energy was gathered at the tips of the death rays. In addition, the remaining force still followed the energy balls within the light, and they would hit the eventually. Then, there was a third option. Leo could deflect, block, or absorb the concentrated energy balls at the tips of death rays first. Then, he could lessen the damage to the and protect the innocent people of the. "Probably third choice. It''s gonna be a grind." Leo tested his theory. He flew toward one of the mass of energy balls at the tip of a beam. Then, he punched it. The hit connected and caused a ripple. The energy ball slightly shrank and bounced backward, dispersing energy everywhere. Some of the light particles fell on Leo''s arms and hands. DING "HMM?!" Leo widened his eyes in astonishment. He couldn''t believe what the system had informed him. "I CAN GAIN LIFESPAN FROM THIS?!" Enlightened, Leo moved around and bathed himself in the particles of light. DING The system did not disappoint him. This confirmed Leo''s hypothesis. He burst intoughter. "Oh, my goodness. What a hack!!" Instead of punching the condensed ball of light, Leo stretched his hand and sank his fingers into the mass. DING This changed everything. Leo changed his n. He threw himself into one of the masses and bathed himself in the light. "NOM-NOM MOTHERHUMPER!!" DING DING DING . . While carrying a hundred innocent elves with his Qi, Meowmeow looked up and gazed at his master. "What is he doing?" Asked Meowmeow. An was nearby. He had been pushing a cartwheel, carrying a dozen of children toward the portal. He followed Meowmeow''s gaze and looked up. "Nom-Noming, perhaps." "Nom-Nomwhat?" "Energy draining. The usual stuff." "Has he learned the vampiric touch or energy drain dao before?" An snickered, "Read his memory again. He has already copied a bunch of daos and skills from many experts. Your lord is a hard worker." "Copy Right. The simtion system. That system is a cheat. I still couldn''t believe that you got your hands on that entity fate crystal with this system." "That''s where you''re wrong. Entity fate crystals never have that ability. At best, it can only give some assisting perks and quality-of-life perks in exchange for a portion of the karma contract or life force. What he has is thetter type." Meowmeow nodded as he was less informed than An. He gazed at his master, wondering what An had nned for his son. "Say, An. I know he''s your son, but what are you nning for him? I can''t read his fate at all after he has unlocked the simtion mode." An shrugged, "Returning the favor, I guess." "Returning the favor? Oh" Meowmeow''s expression changed. He recalled the secret of An and Leo''s existence. "In the end, we''re a bunch of NPCs, huh?" "Yup. From the very beginning, this universe is tailored for him all along." "You sick son of a" Meowmeow wanted to curse An for this master n. Still, he couldn''t hate the guy. "Let''s keep serving him." An raised his fist, "For the universe and our future." Meowmeow sighed and fist-bumped the guy, "For your son and my future harem." "Screw you, sicko. One of these days, I''ll reincarnate you into a body of a clone and wipe your memory!" "Hehehehe! I''ve already foreseen my distant future. I''ll have over a hundred sexy concubines and a warm family! I''ll live a good fulfilling life!" "Yeah, and you will suffer. Your son will suffer. Some of your wives will also die and suffer because of you." "" Meowmeow shut his mouth and pouted. He snorted, "I''ll make sure to learn one of our lord''s abilities for that day." "Yeah, you will. I suggest you master this time domain ability. It will be useful for the future." "I know. I also want that simtion mode too" " You greedy dumbass." The menughed and continued working. . 33 dayster Meowmeow, An, and Lucky managed to transfer five million elves to the other side. They also sent messages to Meowmeow''s concubines and Esen, asking them to assist them in amodating and controlling the refugees. Esen and Meowmeow''s concubines exchanged messages by throwing letters into the portal as they couldn''t leave yet. They learned about the development and the predicament of the refugees. Unfortunately, there were over 100 million elves on the. Leo''s subordinates couldn''t save everybody by themselves, though none of them cared. After all, they were confident in their lord''s abilities. In the orbit, Leo bathed in the middle of the 48th beam. He snored and floated there, absorbing the light and the Qi. DING Every second, a message informed Leo of his gain. The number of unread messages umted, but Leo no longer looked at it. He was tired of reading every message. "KOK" Finally, Leo''s pig-like snoring ended. He rubbed his eyes and deeply yawned. ncing at the message screen, Leo pressed the [Mark All as Read]. Then, he checked his bank bnce. "Eh? Already? This is kinda dj vu." Leo had seen this number before. He felt like it was yesterday. Chapter 276 Karen Sued Florida Man for Curing Her Lung Cancer by Trapping Her in Gas Chamber. Chapter 276 Karen Sued Florida Man for Curing Her Lung Cancer by Trapping Her in Gas Chamber. Chapter 276 C Karen Sued Florida Man for Curing Her Lung Cancer by Trapping Her in Gas Chamber. Meowmeow and Lucky brought their war trophies to the other side. Leo also undid his time domain. CLICK-CLICK-CLICK Time resumed. Remnant light beams shed and vanished. However, some death rays that Leo hadn''t fully digested continued traveling and hit the surface of the. Small bombs erupted. Several mushroom clouds shot up to the sky and evaporated everything on the 1,000km diameter. Lands turned into eitherkes or seas while many lives, whom Meowmeow, Lucky, and An failed to migrate, perished in the bombardment. Leo watched the small beams destroy the geography and nature. He deeply sighed as his guilty conscience reminded him that he was somewhat responsible for this massacre. He pped his hands like a Japanese praying. Then, he closed his eyes. The souls of the dead left the and flew toward Leo. They were small sparkling light balls, containing no emotion. Even though some of them were immortals, the devastation power of the beams was enough to erase their entire memory and cultivation base. ''Don''t worry. I''ll take you in and let you live in a better ce. Please don''t mind your new appearance of alligators. I only have those right now, but I promise to create a better lifeform.'' Leo drew the souls into his dantian universe''s karma river. Several million souls entered Leo''s karma river and joined the queue. Soon, they would be reincarnated as alligators in Leo''s universe. After collecting all the souls of the victims, Leo parted this. Even if he couldn''t finish the secondary quest, the haul was enough to make up for the loss. DING After leaving the portal, the main gate behind Leo was closed. However, a new permanent portal was erected, and Leo could return to the previous at any time. Leo stared at the portal and pondered. He nced at Lucky and Meowmeow, who were about to resume their roles as guardian statues. "You there. Go back in there and continue looting. There are more treasures, right?" Meowmeow and Lucky''s faces twitched. They wanted to take a break. "Can we rest for a day or two, woof?" "No. Go back and get as many treasures as you can. Oh, right. Where is that bastard Kitten?" Meowmeow pointed into the void. A light year away in the darkness, a dreadnaught of Eleanor parked behind the belt of asteroids. However, An was still busy with something. After pinpointing the fisherman golem, Leo smacked his lips. He shook his head. "Forget it. Meowmeow, you help me send those refugees back home. I don''t want them here." "" Meowmeow would have vomited blood had he possessed flesh and human organs. He lowered his head and followed Leo''s instructions. . After sending thezy statues off to work, Leo flew around his domain to inspect thend. He prayed that no elf caused trouble here. While flying, Leo spotted Taxi and Ricardo''s subordinates everywhere in the domain. They patrolled in pairs, walking in their humanoid form. They also carried the new rifles of Leo''s domain and wore the suit uniform. In addition, Esen''s people gathered in two groups. One guarded the front of Leo''s shopping mall while the other unit gathered south of the slum area. Leo found Marc in the slum. He wondered what he was doing over there by himself. "Marc?" Marc turned around and found Leo in the sky. He waved his hand in delight. "My lord! You''re back!" Leo looked around and found the refugee camp of green elves. All of them red at Leo, Marc, and patrolling molgs with hatred. Fortunately, as most of them were women and children, none of them chose violence in this situation. Afternding, Leo questioned Marc, "How are the refugees? Did they cause trouble?" "Some do, actually. We''ve already killed 500 rioters today. Ten of the molgs are sent to the temporary infirmary in the shopping mall. Also, we asked Lady Qiang Qiang to pacify the third refugee camp, but they keep calling us traitors even though we are helping them." "Did you exin the situation?" Leo referred to the general situation of their. As Meowmeow and others had sent many messages through the portal, Leo believed that Marc and others should have learned about the predicament. "We did, but they didn''t listen. Only after their ringleaders were killed, did they follow our instructions. But as you see, my lord. They''re wary of us, and they are prone to riot." Leo gazed at the green elves in the camp. Some of them held their children dearly while they red at Leo and Marc in resentment. "Yeah, this is war," Leomented. "I also didn''t want this, but I did my best." "I know, my lord. They would have died if you hadn''t helped them. What a bunch of ingrates!" As if the elves could hear their conversation, one of the elf women yelled at Leo and Marc. "HELP MY ASS! YOU ABDUCT US HERE! BRING US HOME, YOU TRAITOR MOLG!!" As soon as the first woman showed courage, the others berated Leo. "I know what you ugly men are trying to do! You think we will cooperate if you threaten us?! You Molg and that NU''EARTHE can go suck dicks!" "Even if you force yourself on us, we will tear your balls and feed it to a Fenrir!" "Just you wait! The queen Eleanor will find you and destroy this world! You and your family will be hunted down like a dog!" "Don''t get cocky because you capture us! Lord Vendettito wille and rescue us! You traitors are nothing!" Listening to the girls, Leo''s mouth got itchy. He wanted to tell them that Vendettito and Eleanor were long dead, but he doubted they would believe him. Since they were so prideful, Leo chose a slightly violent method to control the crowd. "Let''s introduce them to a gas chamber." "Gas chamber?" Marc tilted his head in confusion. Leo wickedly grinned, "They''re gonna learn why they shouldn''t insult artists, especially Austrian artists and Floridian Artists." "???" Chapter 277 Florida Man Rescued Boy from Sexual Predator Using Mushrooms.

Chapter 277 Florida Man Rescued Boy from Sexual Predator Using Mushrooms.

Chapter 277 C Florida Man Rescued Boy from Sexual Predator Using Mushrooms. Leo waddled away while the elf women jeered andughed at them. Marc red at the women in annoyance and pulled out a bastard sword to threaten them. "SILENCE, YOU INGRATES! YOU ARE INSULTING THE LORD!" "Ha! The lord? More like the toad lord! He''s uglier than a tapeworm! I pity his wife and his family. I bet they are crying in regret that they marry-" WHOOSH! Marc was ruthless. With a swing of his sword, he crushed the ground in front of the woman. The sword cut her dress and left a shallow cut on her body. The woman was petrified. She slowly looked down and found a straight line of a shallow wound on her chest and stomach. "EEEEEEKKK!!" She squealed in fright. The courage from before vanished like smoke as she ran away from Marc. Marc snorted and pulled his sword back. He then turned to the others. "Too bad, I missed! Does anybody else want to bad-mouth my lord? Next time, I won''t miss." "" The crowd backed away. Although they were scared out of their wits, some of them still red at Marc in resentment. "LISTEN UP!" Marc seized this opportunity to pacify the crowd, "The lord has promised that he will send you home as long as you behave yourself! We are finalizing the preparation at the moment! As long as you don''t resist, we won''t do anything harmful to you!" "BUTTSHIT!" A woman in the back of the crowd suddenly yelled. Marc turned around. He activated a duhan''s ability and summoned a skeleton horse. A deity-realm skeleton horse manifested behind the woman. Its red eyes gleamed as it exhaled foul air on the woman''s neck. The elf woman slowly turned around and found the ghost horse. She shrieked in fright and copsed on her butt. The ground and her skirt were soon stained by warm yellowish liquid. Marc snorted and recalled his summon. He continued pacifying the refugees. "Again, we have no intention to harm you as long as everybody is cooperative. By tomorrow if no mishap urs, we should be able to bring you home!" As soon as Marc revealed a rough schedule, the elf women were overjoyed. Their dark expressions brightened. Still, managing selfish elves wasn''t a simple task. A few secondster, an elf woman carrying a young girl rushed out of the crowd to see Marc. "Sir, my child is sick. We need the local medicine from my home. Can we leave first?" The boy seemed to be only one or two years old. Marc looked at the boy and inspected him with his Qi. However, there was no illness or anomaly in the boy''s body. The child also looked healthy and cheerful as he smiled at Marc. Marc frowned. He knew that the mother was lying. Even though it was a reasonable demand, allowing an exception might disrupt the order. To deal with this woman, Marc came up with a trick. "I''ll treat the boy. Give him here." The woman faltered, "N-No. He really needs the herbs at my house!" "What''s the name of the herb?" "I-I-I-Immortal grass! Yes, an immortal grass!" "Wait here." Marc snapped his fingers and resummoned his skeleton horse. It galloped to the shopping mall. A few secondster, it returned with a bundle of immortal grasses in its mouth. He retrieved the grasses and showed them to the woman. "Here, the immortal grasses. How many stalks do you need?" "E-Eh?" Marc gave the woman a meaningful look, "Take one of the immortal grass''s des and shut your mouth, you liar. Don''t make me stuff this entire stalk to your son''s mouth. Leave while I''m in a good mood." "I-I-I''m sorry!!" Marc shoved one of the grasses into the woman''s hands. She gulped and deeply bowed at Marc, then she brought her son along and ran away into the crowd. Marc snorted and put the grasses in his storage ring. He then turned to the refugees. "Anybody else wants to cause trouble?!" "" Finally, no one caused anothermotion. Still, the appearance of immortal grasses stunned the elf women. Their belonged to a deity realm, which limited the essibility to deities, immortals, and mortals. Anybody with a higher cultivation base was forced to suppress their strength to the deity realm before they could enter, though Vendettito and Rockhart were an exception due to their statuses as governors of the world. Because their world supported deities, their natural resources improved. Spirit herbs, grasses, and trees sometimes blessed them with rare flowers and fruits, which became important cultivation resources for the local poption. However, immortal grasses, such as the ones that Marc had brought, weremon. They existed, but Vendettito and high-ranked deities monopolized them. Seeing how Marc handed the grass to a cunning woman that easily, their greed and desire were ignited. One of them ripped her skirt and blouse, revealing a lot of her skin. Then, she coyly walked toward Marc. "Erm, sir. I''m wondering what can I do to exchange for the immortal grasses?" Marc snorted and told her the truth. He pointed at the shopping mall. "You see that?" "Umm, yes." The woman looked at the shopping mall building from afar. "That ce sells one de of immortal grass for 10 years of lifespan each. However, we only trade with literate people, not hoodlums or whores! Unless you join us, we will not trade with you!" The woman was taken aback. The astonished crowd was shocked as well. Still, she didn''t give up, "S-Sir. What about the grasses that you have? C-Can I buy that with my lifespan or my body?" Marc nced at the cleavage and gulped. However, he soonpared the green elf''s face with his elder sister''s face, he was instantly disillusioned and regained hisposure. "I''m not interested in green elves. I''m a molg. I can only marry a molg! Now, go back to your camp and behave!" The woman was offended, but she pushed her luck. She knelt and hugged Marc and whispered, "Please, mercy, my lord. I''ll do anything. I-I don''t mind if you do" Marc flinched as he had never hugged a woman before. Facing such an aggressive approach, he faltered. While Marc was at a loss, Leo returned and found them hugging. He put on gloves and coldly peeled the woman from Mark, grabbing her clothes. As Leo didn''t control his strength, he ended up tearing her clothes. After yanking the greedy woman away from an innocent Duhan, Leo showed the green elves a Tupperware box, containing a piece of Sweet Dream Mushroom. "Sorry to cuck you, bitch. Now, listen!" Leo levitated and showed them the mushroom. "Back to the main topic, let me introduce you to a gas chamber made of these mushrooms! You know what they can do, right?" "T-That" Marc and the refugees were stunned. Some of them screamed in desperation and fear. "Sweet dream mushrooms! NOOOOO!!" "NOT THAT MUSHROOMS!" "PLEASE NO!!" The threat worked like magic. The refugees scattered in every direction. Leo and Marc stood there and looked at each other. They widely grinned as they managed to disperse the mob. "Say, my lord." "Yes?" "How are we going to round them back to the camp? You''ve just scared them away." "Meh, they will gather. Just publish a gathering point for those who want to go home. They will show up. But if they want to stay, they have to follow our rules." "That might not be simple. They might cause trouble." "So do the local cultivators. What''s the difference?" "You''re right." Leo and Marc continued staying there as they discussed a method to bring them home tomorrow. Chapter 281 Florida Man Starts New Hotel Business, Forgets to Hire Employees Chapter 281 Florida Man Starts New Hotel Business, Forgets to Hire Employees Chapter 281 C Florida Man Starts New Hotel Business, Forgets to Hire Employees For the past 15 days, Leo either spent time monitoring the refugees or trained in his dantian universe. But as the situation calmed down, Leo shifted his attention to the mountain of spirit stones, which Lucky and Meowmeow had looted from the spaceships. Everything was stored in the junkyard, waiting for Leo to sort them. Lucky and Meowmeow collected over 500,000 spatial rings from the divine elf''s spaceships. Inside the rings contained useful items, soul stones, essence stones, and random herbs. However, 70% of the items were nonsense junk, such as leaf gums, anti-viagra pills, skin lotion, and cosmetic creams. Leo wanted to stop time and sort everything. However, the time domain could only pause the time flow within a star system or a gxy depending on Leo''s seriousness. Using it too frequently might affect Leo''s system domain. After all, the system wasn''t affected by the power of time. As the poption grew, managing the domain gotplicated. Thankfully, his ''free''borers werepetent. While Leo was at wit''s end, Meowmeow sent a toon of his elf wives to the junkyard. These girls had been turned into golems, and their cultivation bases increased by a major realm. The immortal elf evolved into ''stone'' elf deities. The elves received direct orders from Meowmeow. They approached the backpacks of spatial rings and started ejecting items out. Unhesitatingly, they threw away allmon consumable items that high elves used C Creams and cosmetic items. With a thousand helpers, Leo was overjoyed. However, the surprises didn''t end. A thousand undead skeletons formed a patrolling army. They watched over the farms and chased away the remnant high elves, who attempted to steal the crops. A few molgs and death knights under Esen followed the army around and supervised them if necessary. "So many GREAT ASSETS of thepany, me like!" He bet a certain spacepany would also approve this. As things were automatically organized, it was time for Leo to clear another urgent matter at hand C His official wedding. As this matter was rted to the morals of his people and his reputation, he needed to do this carefully. Leo thought of his facilities in the shopping mall. He wondered where he should hold the wedding ceremony. A few seconds after he fell into a deep thought, he smacked his forehead. He had money C YOL. He could solve everything with cash! ''Can I buy a freaking pre-made resource from the freaking online shopping system?'' Inspired, Leo checked the system shop. He wasn''t disappointed. As soon as Leo put the keyword ''Wedding'' into the search box, several item icons appeared in the menu. The items ranged from a readymade garden to luxurious spaceship colonies. Leo looked at the price. Then, his expression turned dark. The cheapest garden was only 1,000 YOL as it provided nothing but decorations. However, the eptable ones, such as a transformable 5-star hotel resort truck, cost a whopping 10 million YOL. This didn''t include their upgrade fees. Leo counted his fingers and sighed. "Oh, boy. Should I just stick to RVs? But we don''t have a proper hotel around here. Should I make one? Meh, 170 million YOL is nothing. I can get them back in a jiffy." He settled with a premade transformable construction vehicle, which could transform into a 5-star hotel resort. Although it was upgradable, it couldn''t provide perks and employees like the usual system buildings. Fortunately, Leo could build it anywhere or repack it like C&C headquarters bases any time. DING A moderate-sized spaceship, 500m long, 100m wide, and 10m tall manifested from thin air. It slowly descended andnded at the Tang n''s resident district. Leo followed the spaceship to itsnding site. When itnded, it automatically transformed into a luxurious 30-story tall grand resort hotel. Looking at it from the front, it resembled the US Parliament House because of its unique architecture. However, its bright yellowish LED light, maze garden, and fountain pool inherited the Las Vegas style. Sandwiching the parliament-looking building at the center was a fortress-like L-shaped building. Its height was twice as tall, but every room featured a balcony with a personal swimming pool! Leo gulped and checked the description of the purchased item on the shopping menu. He was curious about what he had just bought. . Mobile Construction Vehicle (Rizzler Resort) Level: 1/17 Upgrade Fee: 10,000,000 years of lifespan. This vehicle can transform into a Rizzler ss resort, which is equivalent to a 4-star hotel ording to Fate Stadium''s standard. The hotel features a total of 1,000 luxurious suites, 10 grand suites, and 10 president suites for VVVIP guests. Ites with most basic facilities, such as restaurants, bars, nightclubs, theatres, casinos, fitness centers, meeting halls, cultivation rooms, spas, brothels, and many more. Please note. This item does note with workers, food, or cultivation resources. . Leo wryly smiled. He spent 160 million YOL and upgraded it to the soft cap level. Then, he waited for the building to change. "" Nothing happened. Leo shrugged and entered the building to inspect the interior. He understood that nothing might have changed from the outside, but a lot should have evolved inside. He wasn''t disappointed. As Leo had experienced, everything inside exceeded Leo''s expectations. . Mobile Construction Vehicle (Rizzler Resort) Level: 17/17 This vehicle can transform into a Rizzler ss resort, which is equivalent to a 5-star hotel ording to Fate Stadium''s standard. The hotel features a total of 17,000 luxurious suites, 170 grand suites, and 70 presidential suites for VVVIP guests. The hoteles with state-of-the-art facilities suitable for aspired cultivators under the entity realm. Please note. This hotel automatically generates basic food, water, liquor, and electricity. However, it doesn''t provide cultivation resources. . The lobby was asrge as an airport terminal in capital cities. Signboards showed a different section and different facilities, including various reception counters. Leo rubbed his hands and walked into the building to explore his new toy. . . RUMBLE The new building caused amotion in the Tang n''s manor. Many nsmen rushed out to scout the perimeter, and they instantly found a massive hotel a kilometer away to the east of their location. The hotel covered a span of 50 square kilometers. Gardens, sports facilities, running tracks, a golf course, a water park, and a theme park took 30% of thend. 10% belonged to the massive swimming pool with stone bridges and bar inds. As for the rest, the hotel buildings covered the terrain. Therge building shocked the nsmen. Fortunately, they had heard and seen Leo''s system buildings before. Everybody concluded that it was the work of Leo once more. The nsmen returned to their n lords. However, both Tang Xuan and Tang Tian were still in seclusion. The news reached Bao Xun instead. Bao Xun rushed out of his home to see the hotel with his eyes. He arrived in front of the hotel''s entrance and gawked at the massive structure. "As expected of Lord Florida Man! Tsk. I need to gain his favor this time." Guessing that Leo might be inside, Bao Xun mustered his courage and was about to enter the building. TAP-TAP However, he wasn''t the only one who gathered around this ce to y. Behind him, a bored dryad and two elderly women arrived. The naught monster girl poked Bao Xun''s shoulder. "Nom-Nom Meow?" (Mister. Do you have any fertilizer?) "Huh? What?" Bao Xun turned around. Then, he found Cat, Xu Nuan, and Dongfang Mei. Dongfang Mei had been cultivating. After several days of hard work, she reached the Star Celestial Stage, aka the 3rd stage of the immortal realm. Xu Nuan also reached the 2nd immortal stage. As for Cat, ate her way to the 5th immortal stage naturally! Moreover, her physical prowess was alreadyparable to a 5-star deity. The physical appearances of the two female elders also changed drastically. Dongfang Mei was natural as she mastered an age reversal technique C She looked like a maturedy in her mid-20s. As for Xu Nuan, her physical age decreased because of her cultivation base. At the moment, she looked like a 40-year-old aunt. As for Cat, she was still a usual pretty dark elf brat. Suddenly confronting three experts of Leo''s faction, Bao Xun shrieked in fright. He deeply bowed. "G-Greetings, senior. I didn''t know that you were interested in this building as well." "At ease," Dongfang Meiughed. She gazed at the interior of the hotel. "I guess Lord Florida Man surprises us again. What is he building this time?" "I-I don''t know. Would you like to check inside with me?" Dongfang Mei shook her head. She gestured for Xu Nuan and Cat to stay outside. "Let''s wait until he gives us further instructions. He might be busy decorating or tampering with the building from the inside. If we suddenly interrupt his work, he might be very angry." Bao Xun came to his senses, "You''re right, senior. I-I almost offended the lord." "Good. Let''s wait here together. You''re curious too, right?" "Y-Yes." The group stood at the entrance of the hotel, waiting for Leo toe out. Meanwhile, many disciples,moners, and rogue cultivators in the area also gathered for sightseeing. But when they saw Dongfang Mei, nobody dared to enter the building. . . Three hourster, Leo finished inspecting the hotel. He was satisfied with the rooms and facilities. However, there was an issue. This buildingcked employees. Leo would need to assign some workers to this establishment soon. Moreover, many facilities required supplies from the shopping mall, such as spirit herbs, quality food, and cultivation resources C such as True Earth Fate Crystals. Leo grumbled while he walked into the lobby. ''I need to make more true earth fate crystals, but they can be stolen. I need someone trustworthy to be this hotel''s manager.'' Leo reached the exit and found a crowd of people gathered outside. He looked up and found Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, and Cat. Seeing the trio, Leo had an idea. "You''vee at a good time, ma''am. Are you interested in an executive job?" Chapter 282 Florida Man Faces Warrant for Allegedly Raising Male Bulls for Inappropriate Use. Chapter 282 Florida Man Faces Warrant for Allegedly Raising Male Bulls for Inappropriate Use. Chapter 282 C Florida Man Faces Warrant for Allegedly Raising Male Bulls for Inappropriate Use. "Executive job?" Dongfang Mei didn''t fully understand Leo, "What kind of job, sir?" "Managing this business, well, a massive tavern business. Do you have any rted experience?" "OH?!" Dongfang Mei repeatedly nodded after Leo mentioned ''tavern''. "Is this ce a tavern, sir?" "Yes. It''s a high-tech one. You''ll need to learn a lot before you can employ helpers." "I DO! I WANT TO TAKE THIS JOB!!" Dongfang Mei was firm. Her life experience told her not to miss this opportunity. Leo approved Dongfang Mei''s decisiveness. This was one of the required qualities of a good leader. "Good. You''re hired! I''ll increase your wage and cultivation resources ordingly. So, here is your job. I want you to explore this ce and remember how every facility works. You have 15 days toprehend everything. As for the employees, you are free to hire anybody to work here. Make sure every business in this hotel is covered." "Yes, sir! You can count on me!" Dongfang Mei giggled and immediately turned to Xu Nuan. She smiled at her subordinate. "You''ll be my assistant, Xu Nuan. Oh, go call the girls that have nothing to do. Bring them here so we can learn about this ce together! Let''s go!" "O-Okay." Xu Nuan was still confused, but she rushed toward the clothing stores, where most of her disciples gathered to y or work. The onlookers could only gaze at Xu Nuan and Dongfang Mei in envy. Even Bao Xun cursed his fate as to why he wasn''t born a woman. Meanwhile, Cat was oblivious to the talk. She tilted her head and tugged Leo''s clothes. "Nom-Nom Meow?" (Daddy. Where food?) Leo shifted his attention to Cat. He wrylyughed and patted her head. "Alright. Let''s get you some crazy cows. Come inside with us." "Meow <3" (Yay!) The weird family entered the hotel while Dongfang Mei followed him into the building. The door shut behind them, blocking the outsiders from intruding on the premises. . After the door was locked, the spectators whispered among each other before they rushed back, especially the people of the Tang n. They were the only group who didn''t have a proper job other than maintaining the order of the western slum district. The news about the new recruitment quickly spread. As the tavern job''s concept was easy to understand, idle housewives and young maidens of the families were interested in the new opportunity. Within 30 minutes, a hundred idle women from the Tang n made their way to the hotel. Xu Nuan also brought 50 of her disciples who were bored of working in clothing stores. The doors were automatically opened, and the new employees entered. Dongfang Mei epted them without an issue. Although 150 workers might not be enough, they were enough for the first batch of trainees. Also, it would take a while to learn the jobs and new culture. Leo also helped them integrate into modern technologies and culture, such as room services, spas, housekeeping, and the usage of various facilities and electric appliances. Also, Leobined another set of earth fate crystals. Another true earth fate crystal was born, and it was used to power the hotelplex. Another source of "HOLY WATER" emerged. . . 14 dayster, Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, and 150 employees graduated from the hotel management crash course. As for Cat, she ditched them the first day when Leo started teaching the women housekeeping techniques. On this day, the group gathered in one of the meeting halls in the hotelplex. Leo stood on a podium and gazed at the crowd of hotel employees, who had changed their dresses into a maid uniform. Only Dongfang Mei wore a modern white suit. "It has been over a month since thest seasonal expedition. It''s about time we prepare for my wedding ceremony. You know what to do, right?" Dongfang Mei brightly smiled, "Can I also hold a ceremony for me and my husband afterward?" "Do whatever you want. Make sure you don''t F up my wedding. I just want to get this over with." "Of course! We''ll do our best, senior! By the way, about the rental price and other fees, I think it''s quite cheap?" Leo''s facial expression distorted, "Why? Is 100 years of lifespan per night too cheap?" "I mean Sir, we should consider the perks of our facilities. Firstly, our hotel offers cultivation services. For example, the private yoga rooms are connected to a stream of holy water." Dongfang Mei referred to the newly created holy water fountain, where the source of Qi and electricity of this hotel came from. She continued. "Our customers can drink them for free! Drinking a mouthful of holy water gives the same Qi as cultivating at the pylon tower for a year! The fitness center also features unique training dummies and correction machines that adjust one''s martial techniques! Training in such a facility for one day is more beneficial than training on their own for 10 years! Such privileges require a high price to pay. This doesn''t include the luxurious suites where our customers can fully rx and enjoy their time. If I may suggest, a day of rent should be at least 10,000 YOL to make it worth it! Otherwise, everymoner and their chickens will be swarming this ce and ruin our hotel!" "I see." Leo nodded in acknowledgment. At first, he wanted the hotel to be essible to allmoners so that they would be motivated to start cultivating. However, judging from the local standard, 10 years of lifespan seemed too cheap for such opportunities. "How about 5,000 for regr suites, 20,000 for grand suites, and 50,000 for presidential suites?" "That''s more reasonable for a promotion. However, the full price should be 10,000/30,000/100,000. In the future, more immortals will emerge. I''m sure a few thousand years of lifespan will be cheap changes to them. Well, I''m also an immortal, so I know how easy it is to increase our life expectancy." "If you say so. Okay." "Oh, I almost forgot. About the currency, sir. Since you normally trade one essence stone for one year of lifespan, I suggest we standardize essence stones as the local currency. One YOL is one essence stone. Is that okay with you?" "Suit yourself. But wait, won''t the price of our hotel be too cheap then? 10,000 essence stones per night?" Dongfang Mei widely grinned, "Don''t you need soul stones? I heard you have been mass-minting soul stones in the workshops." "" Indeed, Leo had been printing soul stones to trade with people from the Fate Stadium. He hadn''t visited that ce for a long time. In the end, Leo let Dongfang Mei run the hotel as its general manager or the CEO. Xu Nuan ended up being appointed as an ountant, and she would be in charge of managing the hotel''s budget and finances. As for the wedding, Dongfang Mei requested a week of preparation. They would also need to start sending invitation letters to their friends and families. . . "Hey, have you heard?" "Again? The new building, right?" "Yeah, that. It''s the building that we can''t enter." "I heard they aren''t open for business yet." "I know, but the lord''s wedding ceremony date has been decided. I think they will hold the ceremony there." As usual, poor workers and cultivators in the shopping mall gathered on the 2nd and 3rd floor, enjoying the fresh air from the air conditioners and absorbing mild lightning element Qi from electric outlets. Although they couldn''t get as much Qi as the pylon tower''s seats, they preferred this ce because of the rxing environment. As for elders and rich cultivators, they usually stayed in either the fourth-floor casino or the first-floor restaurants. Only weirdoes and studious cultivators remained in one of the fifth floor''s workshops, uninterested in worldly affairs. In a small domain, news spread fast. Within a few hours, everybody heard about the wedding schedule. Fortunately, they heard about it a few months ago, and they had been preparing gifts for this asion. However, the new residents of this domain, aka the elves, had never heard about it. Most of the remaining elves were women and children. Their elders and men either died rioting or returned home three weeks ago. A dozen elf women disguised as humans and blended into the crowd inside the shopping mall. When they heard about the wedding, their women''s instinct kicked in. They were jealous of the bride. They wished their husbands or future boyfriends would host a big wedding ceremony for them. Driven by emotion, they spent a whole day eavesdropping everybody. The next day, the hotel''s housekeepers brought leaflets to the shopping mall. They stered them on every wall on every floor, advertising the wedding schedule. The wedding would be held at the newly built hotel. All official employees could freely attend and enjoy free food and drinks. However, they were expected to bring gifts for the groom and bride ording to their tradition. Some of the elves stole a few leaflets from the walls. They carried them back to their new vige in the slum district to inform their colleagues. . . Meanwhile, the bride had no idea what Leo was doing. She and Ivy toured the continent and arrived at the former home of the Joyous Yin Yang Sect and Tappaya City. As Milo''s people had abducted the local cultivators and civilians there, the sect was deserted. Only weird creatures remained behind. In an abandoned ranch, Esen inspected the local bulls and realized what they were. "Ah, it has been a long time. So, they''re still around." Ivy gazed at the bulls in front of Esen. Her expression wasplicated. "Spirit Bulls? If I remember correctly, the only good thing about them is their urine. Their meat is a bit mehpared to the supreme beef in the restaurants. Are we taking them with us?" "Of course. These bulls are necessary for my world tree. Their urine will be the best fertilizer. Actually, let''s take the whole ranch with us. Can you help me?" "" Ivy was reluctant as she knew how smelly the spirit bull''s urine was. Moreover, these spirit bulls were infamous for their nasty behavior C They enjoyed consummating with other races, especially humanoid creatures! She knew the reason why the Joyous Yin-Yang Sect kept these animals. Their purposes were solely for wild entertainment! The bulls finally noticed the gender of Ivy and Esen. They lewdly snorted and stood on two feet. At the bottom, their pink organ extended like an elephant tusk. Ivy and Esen clicked their tongue in disgust. Thetter snapped her fingers and activated one of her dao domains. SNAP The bulls flinched for a moment before they all copsed on the ground, falling asleep. Esen sighed and waved her hands. A hundred fat bulls floated and followed Esen. "Let''s go home. We''re done here." Ivy nodded. She copied Esen and carried the rest of the herd, "By the way, Your Majesty. Where are we keeping them? The unicorn''s barn?" "Nah," Esen thought of the pervert cow woman. Sierra''s face came to her mind. "We have a lewd cow at home. She might like them. They''re from a simr species, right?" "OHHHH!!" Ivy remembered Sierra. She also wondered how the cow woman would react. "Good idea! Let''s bring these guys to her." The duo flew home, carrying souvenirs for Leo. They, too, would be in for a surprise. . . DEZNUTS Council, Home of Eleanor Ellen''s troops reimed Eleanor''s territory without an issue. As soon as she returned, Ellen dered that Leo murdered Eleanor. This news enraged all elves. The divine elf, high elf, forest elf, and dark elf poption vowed to avenge their matriarch. As such, more people volunteered to join Ellen''s army. Milo also brought a piece of simr news to his kin. As most Fenrir was loyal to Eleanor, they also joined Milo''s troops, preparing to for a new fight. Meanwhile, Simba seized this opportunity to visit Ester''s to find clues about his wife. He arrived home and found traces of disaster. "" Simba remained silent while he levitated in the sky, gazing at the newkes and sunkennds. The ce where his house once existed was no longer there. In addition, there was a strange gate not far from the ruined fortress. Simba narrowed his eyes as he saw several golems crossing the portal. When he looked carefully, he found that the golems looked like high elves of this world. Curious, Simba approached the portal. Chapter 284 Florida Mans Ruff Day: Takes Home Abandoned Puppy, Turns Out to Be Ohio Kid Chapter 284 Florida Man''s ''Ruff'' Day: Takes Home ''Abandoned Puppy,'' Turns Out to Be Ohio Kid Chapter 284 C Florida Man''s ''Ruff'' Day: Takes Home ''Abandoned Puppy,'' Turns Out to Be Ohio Kid One punch, two punches, five punches, ten punches, a hundred punches, every attack was faster than the speed of light. However, nothing connected. The same applied to Simba''s attacks. Despite wielding an abnormally long sword, none of his attacks, punches, or kicksnded. He even mixed in a domain ability, which had the same effect as Leo''s sword domain, yet Leo instantly threw a counter punch, which forced him to recall the domain to protect himself. Both men weaved, vanished, and teleported on the tform, testing each other''s limits and fighting patience. Simba grumbled in frustration as he was at a disadvantage. Leo already undid his time domain, but Simba was forced to maintain a cubic barrier. Even though it gradually drained Leo''s life force to maintain the blockade, it was vulnerable to any domain-canceling attacks. If the barrier was destroyed, Simba''s dantian would crack, which would lead to his demise. After five minutes of closebat, Simba lost the chicken race. He removed the barrier domain before Leo could destroy it. Then, he teleported 1,000 meters to the sky. But as soon as Simba removed the life force leeching domain, Leo''s both phoenix wings transformed into a rainbow scythe. Taking a firm step forward, Leo swung the scythe and unleashed one of his many domain abilities. The domain was invisible and undetectable. However, the big movement hinted that a big sophisticated attack was about to hit him. Simba finally had a chance to use his bone sword. The long sword broke into 27 pieces like detachable razor des, and all of them transformed into Simba. SWUA! Nine fake bodies of Simba instantly shattered to pieces. In addition, the detached razor des dissipated into dust. Simba squinted his eyebrows as he figured out what the previous attack was. ''A karma attack? Are you kidding me? A karmic sovereign attacking another karmic sovereign with a karma domain? Is he stupid? No karmic sovereign can die even if their karma strings are cut. We''re the absolute existence exceeding thews of the universe! I guess his foundation iscking. After all, he just appears out of nowhere.'' Simba scoffed at Leo for being inexperienced inbat against a fellow karmic sovereign. He took his time and pulled out another piece of bone from his other hand to create another razor sword. But Leo ignored Simba''s action. He adjusted his stance and swung his scythe at empty air. SWUA! Leo cut through dimension and created a crack in front of him. At the same time, another crack appeared directly above Simba''s head and sliced down. The crack in dimension cleaved Simba''s real body in half from head to groin! "!!!" The crack in dimension sucked Simba''s body and soul into the void. Simba immediately ejected his soul from his body, teleporting a kilometer away from the mysterious crack in dimension. The cleaved body of Simba vanished into the dimensional crack before the mysterious portal disappeared. Simba''s soul regenerated his fleshly body anew. Then, he mumbled to himself. ''Time and Space Laws, Dimension Splitting Laws, Karma Cutting Laws, how manyws has he mastered?! No karmic sovereign has mastered more than twows at once! If you cultivate multiple karma rivers, your lifespan capacity will decrease! Is he that dumb?! Or rather is he using a system ability? Is that the case?'' He couldn''t understand how Leo had mastered so many abilities. Still, as a system user, Simba believed that Leo cheated the naturalws and overly relied on the system. ''Since he''s using a system ability, I can win. I can do THIS!'' Simba ejected a fate crystal from his spatial ring C True Entity Fate Crystal! Like how Leo merged seven earth fate crystals into one true earth fate crystal, Simba also merged seven entity fate crystals into a true entityfate crystal. . True Entity Fate Crystal This crystal can only be created by merging seven Entity Fate Crystals. Any True EntityFate Crystal can be used as a consumable item, a socket item for system facilities, or an imprint on a soul. By crushing this crystal, the owner can erase all system abilities from a nearby system user who has obtained their system abilities from entity fate crystals or inferior crystals. If it is equipped in a system facility or system equipment''s socket, it will grant a random blessing to the facility or the equipment. In case it is used to imprint a soul, a unique system will be generated and imprinted to the karmic soul. . Despite owning a precious treasure, Simba never hesitated to spend one or two to eliminate his enemies. He grabbed the true entity fate crystal and was about to crush it. Suddenly, Simba''s hands lost all strength. He widened his eyes in shock as he sensed a hundred threadstching onto his fingers, arms, legs, and head like a puppet. Behind Simba, An rubbed his temples while he held a fishing rod, which bound his adopted son before he could damage Leo''s foundations. Simba also turned around and found the clone of Overlord Xiaomao. He instantly recognized the face of the golem. Then, he remembered that another golem on the tform also had the face of Mao Miaomiao. "As I figured. You lots are into this together! There''s no way Mao Miaomiao can get his hands on Overlord Xiaomao''s blood essence without his help!" An deeply sighed, "Dammit, Simba. I gave you an entity fate crystal and sent you to Eleanor''s side to hide you. I didn''t send you there to JOIN her, you dumb kid!" "!!!" Simba was taken aback when An''s sound transmission entered his mind. Moreover, he was shocked that the sentient golem knew his real name. "WHO ARE YOU?!" An rolled his eyes, "I''m your father." "BULLSHIT! MY FATHER DIED AGES AGO!!" An shrugged and was about to exin everything. But when he noticed that Leo was about to charge at them, he cut the conversation short. "How about you shut up and hide inside me for the time being? You''re not supposed to fight your brother, you little shit." "WHAT?!" An reeled his fishing rod. The lines and Simba''s body shrank into a tiny grain of dust and entered An''s dantian universe. . . WHOOSH Leo arrived at An''s side. He looked around for a moment. Then, he stared at his subordinate. "There you are, youzy golem. Where is that dark elf?" Anughed, "I thought you were going to say the N-word for a second." "I forgot about that word. Thanks for the unnecessary reminder. Anyway, where''s that elf?" An giggled and lied, "I ate him. His soul is in my dantian universe now." "" Leo gave An a meaningful look. He mumbled, "I wish I could press X to doubt you. You''re very sus, do you know that?" "You don''t have to worry about my credibility and loyalty, master. I''m always on your side, like a father looking after his son." "Yeah, right. What an irresponsible father. Ha!" Leo rolled his eyes and shook his head. Despite the confession, Leo thought of it as sarcasm. He flew back to Florida Domain as the crisis was over. An deeply sighed and scratched his cheek. He wondered if his son purposely ignored the hints or if he was simply stupid. Since Leo stopped paying attention to him, An sank his consciousness to his dantian universe to check on his adopted son. In An''s universe, every star system and gxy was symmetrical like an art. 256 gxies contained a total of 4,294,967,296 stars orbited around an abnormallyrge white sun at the center. On the surface of the white sun, a civilization hid behind a curtain of me. Crystalized minerals which immune to extreme heat were carved into square houses. Countless white me spirits wandered about, minding their businesses. Simba was tossed to the surface of the. The white me immediately burnt away his disguise and Qi, revealing his true form of a jacked African-American man who seemed to be in his mid-20s. Simba panicked when the white me devoured all of his Qi. He struggled to take a step, but the extreme gravity of this pinned him to the ground. Moreover, the fate crystal in his hand slipped away and vanished into the. An descended from the void andnded next to Simba. His appearance didn''t resemble Overlord Xiaomao like his ''Shell''. Instead, he appeared as a handsome blond-haired divine elf in white robes. He sat next to his son andughed. "Sorry for the untimely reunion, son. It has been 50,000 years, hasn''t it?" "You who are you?" Despite being exhausted, Simba managed to utter a few words. "Again, I''m your father." "Don''t pretend. Mao Miaomiao and Eleanor killed my parents. You can be him." "What if I purposely faked my death and hid my soul inside Leonardo?" "What?! Wait a minute." An gently pulled Simba off the ground and seated him. Then, he sat in front of his son. "It''s about time we have a heart-to-heart talk. There''s a lot to exin, too. I don''t me you for the confusion, but for the sake of my grand n, please cooperate with us." Simba narrowed his eyes and gave An a meaningful look. Upon noticing that the stranger was a divine elf, his killing intent locked onto An. "All elves are the same. You scheming bastards always toy with us. You''re no different from Eleanor and her cronies!" "Ah, yes. The me," An had a headache. He stood up and waved his hands, summoning a me spirit. One of the white me spirits walked over. He bowed at An and nced at Simba. An ordered the spirit, "Transfer a fragment of my memory 50,000 years ago to this brat. Show him the full event of how I died as An Ariel and reincarnated as ''Kitten'', the clone of Overlord Xiaomao." The spirit nodded. He transformed into a stream of white me and disappeared into Simba''s forehead. "!!!" Pictures of 50,000-year-old memories shed in Simba''s mind. A stream of knowledge followed along with vivid 3D scenes of events. . It was when Leo and Simba were still stuck in theb as test subjects. At that time, Simba was barely two years old. However, countless substances had been injected into his veins. Every day, Simba felt like dying. He always had a high fever. His stomach cramped while every fiber of his muscles was in pain. Even his bones cracked and broke daily. Simba gave up living several times and waited for his death. However, someone gave him hope for living. Next to his ss cage, a cute blond boy also went through the same ordeal, yet his face never showed a hint of being in pain. He dully stared at the adults like a doll. At first, Simba was jealous of the boy. He thought that the boy didn''t get tortured like him. The boy was none other than Leo. One day, Leo noticed Simba''s existence. He suddenly smiled and waved his hands. Then, he picked up a crayon and started drawing doodles on the ss wall tomunicate. Simba couldn''t even move at first, but the drawing interested him. Hey there in a nk room, staring at the weird drawing of Leo. The drawings soon became his beacon of light, which distracted him from the never-ending pain. Days passed by. Simba forgot how long they were in that hell hole. One day, a couple secretly entered Leo''s cage and brought him out. At that time, Simba was still wide awake because of the stomach pain. Themotion set off the rm. Guards rushed in to apprehend the couple, but the elf in ab coat ughtered his way out. Simba envied them. He thought that they were only there to rescue his neighbor. But a miracle urred. Leo screamed and pointed at Simba. He iled his arms and legs while crying, refusing to leave. The couple read the boy''s thoughts and rushed into Simba''s cage. When they brought Simba along, Leo stopped crying. That was Simba''s core memory. He remembered the face of his savior, who gave him hope. The fleet of memories in Simba''s mind suddenly paused and became static. A new memory ovepped with his. The face of the male elf slowly became clearer. He started to resemble the divine elf in the dantian universe. Simba also learned of this man''s identity. He remembered the guy well. An Ariel, the Vice Chief Researcher of the Homunculus Project! That man was Leo and Simba''s father! Chapter 285 Florida Man Forces His Son to Marry Vaporeon to Breed the Ultimate Pokemon Chapter 285 Florida Man Forces His Son to Marry Vaporeon to Breed the Ultimate Pokemon Chapter 285 C Florida Man Forces His Son to Marry Vaporeon to Breed the Ultimate Pokemon Simba witnessed the memory of An. He saw himself from his father''s point of view. An and his wife carried both Leo and Simba from theb. He traveled everywhere, hiding them from the grasp of Mao Miaomiao and Eleanor. Countless pursuers died in the hands of An. Even innocent police officers and soldiers who followed their superior''smands got entangled in the conflict and met their demise. The situation quickly escted as the US military decisively deployed their superweapons. The military followed An to ska. A space warship, which the US government bought from Eleanor, unleashed its first nuclear missiles on the North Pole, hoping to kill An and his family. Unfortunately for them, An returned one of them to the sender, destroying the only space warship of mankind. A parent can sometimes do unexpected things for his children. After the incident, An directly assassinated the president, wiped out half of the US military, and stole an entire nuclear submarine to threaten the states. He also massacred a million elves, who resided in the country to set an example. The power of a crazy entity terrified the Earthlings. Eventually, the local government yielded. An was not that merciless. He assumed the presidential title andmanded the US government to protect his family as well as hunt down Mao Miaomiao. He also exposed the inhumane experiment to the world. The crazy father was soon idolized as the IRL superhero. However, many families of deceased soldiers held grudge against him. Half of the country''s poption rejected his sovereignty and established a new government. Ironically, their leader was Mao Miaomiao, who imed to have a close tie to Eleanor and divine elves. The remnant elves quickly sided with Mao Miaomiao. They shared their knowledge with the new force and bribed many officials in other countries. The rise of the US shadow government drew the attention of other nations. Many countries openly supported the new regime and denounced An for being a terrorist. The tension sparked a civil war. The glorious United States shattered in half as An''s supporters and Mao Miaomiao''s supporters collided. At first, An overwhelmed Mao Miaomiao''s force with his prowess alone. Elven sages and deities were no match against the genius divine elf in human disguise. Within three days, 90% of the elven forces under Mao Miaomiao perished. Mao Miaomiao fled the states to the Middle East, where he had secretly formed an alliance with the local princes, promising technologies and immortality. The princes sheltered Mao Miaomiao in exchange for a cultivation method. The mad scientist used these Arabians as a human shield and went into hiding. The defeat of Mao Miaomiao''s government solidified An''s status as the new dictator. European countries stopped sending support to Mao Miaomiao''s forces and switched sides. Peace was temporarily restored. During the peaceful time, An brought his family to Florida, which had be a sanctuary for his troops and his supporters. A naval base and a military base were all there, providing them options if another war might ur. Leo and Simba grew up there. An hired private tutors for his two children. Unfortunately, there is always a bigger fish. 20 yearster, another war broke out. Things changed when Eleanor''s vanguard forces arrived. A hundred entities descended and wiped out An''s country. Only the eastern states, such as Indiana, Kentucky, bama, and every state beyond these territories survived the purge. An realized his looming demise as he wasn''t strong enough to defeat multiple entities at that time. He secretly drugged his wife, Simba, and Leo before he transported them to Ohio. As for him, he fought to the bitter end. The result was as An had predicted - He was captured while all his soldiers were wiped out. Eleanor also returned and forced An to find his family. Another tragedy struck. Eleanor found An''s wife. She killed her and read her memory, which led her to Ohio where Simba was in hiding. As for Leo''s location, the wife didn''t know as the man already run away from home. Eleanor cut off An''s legs and arms. She dragged him to the children to let them see their miserable father. Simba, who had be an adult, revealed his exceptional aptitude for cultivation during the crisis. He defeated an immortal with brute force and caught Eleanor''s eyes. Unfortunately, a newbie fighter was no match against a veteran entity. Eleanor defeated Simba in one hit and was about to kill him. Before she could deliver the finishing blow, Leo suddenly showed up, holding the mad scientist Mao Miaomiao hostage. Leo, at that time, offered a hostage exchange deal. He offered himself to go with Eleanor. In exchange, he wanted Eleanor to spare their lives. Eleanor was amused. She agreed and let Simba live in exchange for Leo''s cooperation. As for An, she refused to release him due to her personal grudge. Simba scraped for his life, but Leo and An became Eleanor''s prisoners from that day onward. With An and Leo as their captives, Eleanor and Mao Miaomiao celebrated their victory. They resumed the soul transmigration research, using Leo as their prime guinea pig. As for An, he was forced to cooperate or Simba and Leo would be killed. Without a choice, An worked for Mao Miaomiao and Eleanor once more. However, he asked the two dictators for permission to visit Simba once in a while. Mao Miaomiao and Eleanor allowed An to leave as Leo was in his custody. The father quickly initiated his n B by injecting Simba''s soul with an entity fate crystal. Then, he imnted Simba with a new memory, teaching him a disguise technique so that he could appear as a person of another race. After another meeting, An teleported Simba away to the most unexpected hiding ce C an elven deep within Eleanor''s territory. After sending Simba away, An cooked a new scheme. Using the entity fate crystal in his soul, he created a backup body for Leo and disguised it as a failed homunculus product. But by doing so, his soul would be trapped inside the entity fate crystal forever as a price. As for his real body, his will and a fragment of his soul would linger, allowing him tomand his real body to work temporarily. An''s soul merged with the entity fate crystal and transformed into a worthless rusty ring afterward. As for his fleshly body returned to work as if nothing had happened. Yearster, Leo''s fleshly body reached its prime. His physique was on par with a karmic sovereign, which Mao Miaomiao desired the most. The mad scientist stopped experimenting on Leo. The next phase began. Mao Miaomiao wanted to transfer his soul into Leo''s body. However, there was a problem with karma strings and thews of the universe. Possessing someone else''s body was against the karmaws. Mao Miaomiao came up with a n. He asked Eleanor to only kill Leo''s soul. Fortunately, An was there and overheard their conversation. He volunteered to murder his son. Amused by An''s offer, Eleanor and Mao Miaomiao gleefully permitted him. Seizing this opportunity, the fleshly body of An and his soul fragment performed a ritual. He sacrificed his life and body to be a karma string, which attached to Leo''s soul to the entity fate crystal that he had disguised as a rusty ring. Then, he secretly moved the soul into a newly created body in one of the dead homunculus capsules. After the ritual, An''s fleshly body dissipated into dust. Leo''s soul migrated from his true body into a new physique. As for the empty shell, it ended up in the hands of Mao Miaomiao. Afterward, everything was history. . . Simba slowly opened his wet eyes while shedding tears. The memory of An saddened him. "F-Father. You have done a lot." Simba''s voice trembled. "Any father would have done the same." An chuckled. "Yeah, I understand that feeling." Simba was also a father. He also rushed here without nning to rescue his family. Being reminded of his actions, he deeply sighed. "Say, father. By chance, do you know where my wife or my kid is? My system tells me that she wasst seen here." An raised his eyebrows in confusion at first, "You have a wife and a kid?" "Yes. That''s why I''m here in the first ce." "I guess Leo identally visited your and kidnapped your family, huh? Man, sometimes, karma is a bitch..." "Do you know something, father?" "Can you show me what they look like?" "The photo got burnt." "Meh, forget it. I''ll read your memory myself. Close your damn eyes!" An pointed his fingertip at Simba''s forehead and sent a string of karma into his mind. He closed his eyes and slowly digested the information. Several minutester, An retracted his karma string. On the other hand, Simba smacked his lips and gazed at An in awe. Simba was familiar with this technique. When he did this, the ones getting their memory read always screamed in pain. But in his case, he felt nothing. "How did you do that? I didn''t feel any pain at all?" An shook his head and sighed, "You must have been inconsiderate when you used this technique. Instead of trying to plug your karma string inside someone''s brain, you should have slid it into a blood vessel. Blood vessels aren''t responsive to the nervous system, and the victim cannot feel anything. You can infiltrate someone''s brain like this without spooking them." "OH!" Simba was enlightened. Again, he shed a tear of joy that he had a smart and caring father. "Anyway, I think I know where they are." An changed the subject, "They''re alive and well. But I think your wife has done something to your brother''s wife. Man, who asked you two to marry the daughters of that bitch who killed me? You two have no taste at all!" "Um, what?" "I said, you two suck! I wouldn''t haveined if you married a Vaporean, a Gardevoir, a fleshlight or a freaking alligator! Why do you two have to marry Eleanor''s daughters!? DAMMIT!!" "" An bitterlyughed like a cramped-legged hyena having diarrhea. Watching his father malding, Simba was speechless. The fatherly image of An shattered, reced with a toxic loud-mouth nerd of a father. "Father. You need help." "Shut it, you little shit! We''re going to see Leo! You can stay here for the time being. I''ll bring your wife and kid over in a jiffy!" "Thanks, father." An turned around and gave Simba a meaningful look. "Call me ''Dad'', not ''Father''. I cringe every time you call me that." "Err. Okay dad?" "Yeah, that''s better. No more cringe." "" Simba gazed at his father while having aplex feeling. He wondered if he should be overjoyed or depressed because of this weird reunion. Somehow, his father was weird. Chapter 286 Florida Man Wakes Up to Surprise Addition: Baby or Burrito?! Chapter 286 Florida Man Wakes Up to Surprise Addition: Baby or Burrito?! Chapter 286 C Florida Man Wakes Up to Surprise Addition: Baby or Burrito?! By the time An returned, Leo already cleaned up the mess. Fortunately, the fight finished in a sh, and both men didn''t use any wide-ranged skills. No one was harmed. As soon as Annded on the mystic realm tform, he looked around, observing the stone elf army. He then gave Meowmeow a weird look. "Get some help, Meowmeow." Meowmeow was offended. He smirked, "I''ve been working hard, and you''re telling me to get some help? No. YOU get some help. You''ve contributed nothing." "Hah. You have no idea what your wives have done. You almost ruined my n." "Ruin what n? Youzy ass know nothing." "" An shook his head, mentally exhausted from bantering with this immature angel. He shifted his attention to one of Meowmeow''s mistresses ''Wei Yuan''. Wei Yuan also looked back. She flinched as the gaze of An seemed scarier than before. His bloodcurdling re and Overlord Xiaomao''s elderly face were so terrifying that she knelt and lowered her head. An approached her. He whispered, "Transfer the prisoner to my dantian universe." Wei Yuan nodded. She ejected a light ball from her stomach and sent it to An. Thetter directed it to his dantian and closed his eyes. In An''s dantian universe, Ester floated in the void. Her body, covered in a bubble ball, gradually descended upon the white sun. Shended in front of Simba. The husband and wife reunited. The bubble broke, but no one managed to move due to the extreme gravity. An''s consciousness also manifested in the universe. He appeared behind the two and created a one-square-kilometer barrier array. The dome manifested, which lessened the gravity force within the domain. Simba and Ester could finally move. They hugged and consoled each other. An watched his son and daughter-inw in solemn. A few minutester, both husband and wife turned to him. "Dad, about our son" An sighed, "I know. He''s somewhere in your brother''s territory." "Then, can you bring him here?" "Nope!" Simba''s expression turned dark. "Can I ask why?" "I''ll be taking him as a disciple and raise him myself. You two are in no condition to raise your child." "Hah?! Wait a second, you''re being unreasonable here. That''s our child. Why are you taking him away?" An reminded Simba of one fact, "Have you forgotten what you are made of? It''s already a miracle that you can actually reproduce. In fact, you''re different from Leo who inherited my flesh and blood. You''re a human, but the only human part inside you is your brain. The rest of your body isposed of countless monster parts and mixed blood of various powerful overlords." "" Simba froze. He was aware of that fact. But for Ester, this was her first time hearing this piece of information. "You are what, Simba?!" Ester was shocked. Speechless and flustered, Simba stuttered, "I-uh-I''m sorry." An rified the misunderstanding for the family. "This is going to be a long exnation. How about we sit down and listen to me." The father proceeded to exin everything he had done in the past and revealed his family''s secret. . . Meanwhile, Leo was mentally exhausted after the briefbat against Simba. He returned to his bus, nning to get a good nap. Returning to his bedroom, he tossed his clothes to the floor and dashed into a bathroom. After an hour-long quality bath, he wiped his body and made his way straight to the bed. Without checking the bed, he slipped inside and prepared to enter his dream world. Suddenly, his arm touched something. "WAAAAAAAAA!!" The thing that Leo identally touched suddenly cried. Leo widened his eyes and looked at the little thing next to him. There was a little baby boy next to him. He was a light-brown elf infant. Leo sat up and gazed at the baby in confusion. He didn''t remember having a baby. Moreover, Esen was never pregnant as he had been keeping her status after their sexy time. "Who the hell are you, you little shit? Wait a minute. OH SHIT!!" He remembered that he identally touched the boy. He jumped out of bed and scoured for his clothes, searching for spatial rings that contained Hope and Dream pills. It took Leo a minute to find the ring in the back pocket pants. He brought the pill out and bit his fingertip, extracting his blood. Then, he leaped back to the bed to check the boy''s condition. The boy never mutated. On the contrary, he looked healthy. His deep ck eyes fixated on Leo''s face. "Huh? You''re fine?" The boy stopped crying. He stretched his little arms and opened his palms. "Dah." The boy was attracted to Leo''s blood. He waved his arms and legs, wanting to get the drop of transparent blood on his fingertip. Leo noticed the boy''s gaze. He deeply frowned. "Hey, you little brat. My blood is more toxic and poisonous than Chornobyl sewers. If you drink this, you''ll turn into a zombie." "DAH!" "" Leo grumbled. He might be an idiot, but he refused to y with lives. For the sake of the boy, Leo licked his fingertip to get rid of the blood. As soon as Leo drank the blood, the boy wailed. "WAAAAAAAHH!" Facing a crying baby, Leo facepalmed. He picked the boy up and wrapped him with a dry towel. He purchased a pet bed from the system store and put the baby on it. The boy stopped crying again. He looked around him in curiosity. Leo was relieved. Ignoring the responsibility, he returned to bed and was fast asleep. However, the nightmarish experience of keeping a baby had just begun. An hourter, the boy screamed. He was hungry. He also defecated. The foul smell of the baby''s feces woke up Leo. He got out of bed and rushed to the source of annoyance. "You" "WAAAAAAAHH!!" Leo had enough. He stripped the dirty towel and burnt it. Then, he carried the poop-stained boy out of the bus. Along the way out of his bus, he ran into Beatrice, who had just clocked off work for the day. She noticed the boy and the dirty butt. "Your Majesty The boy" Leo grinned as he found a victim. He shoved the boy to Beatrice. "I don''t know how this little critter got to my bed. Find his parents and get him outta here. He dirtied my room." "This elf" Before Beatrice could exin, Leo already stomped back to his room. He shut the door behind him. "" Chapter 288 – Wedding Tumble: Florida Mans Feast Turns Dance Floor into Slip n Slide Diarrhea Fest Chapter 288 C Wedding Tumble: Florida Man''s Feast Turns Dance Floor into Slip ''n Slide Diarrhea Fest Later that day, An visited Leo''s bus. The guards in front of the bus bowed toward him and allowed him inside. Upon entering the bus, An found himself in the lobby area. He looked around and found a dozen death knights, guarding this resident from potential intruders who could teleport directly into the bus. An nodded at them in approval. He turned his attention to the deepest part of the bus where Leo''s room was located. As he walked further, the corner of his eyes detected a group of female molgs. They had been looking at something in a basket. Curious, An walked toward them. When he could see the basket, he found what he had been looking for. "There you are." Instead of taking the kid, An snickered. He turned around and left the bus. Upon looking behind him, he found Ivy and Beatrice who were about to leave the bus as well. Their eyes met, and they greeted. "Sir Guardian, what are you doing here?" Inquired Ivy. "Just checking the kid. Carry on." Ivy raised her eyebrows, suspicious of the guardian. She probed for information, "Do you know anything about the child? The Lord has entrusted him to us for some reason." "Ah, him? I''ll be taking him as my disciple. But for now, I''ll have to ask you to be his nanny. Can you do it?" "But none of us has any experience in this." "I see. Oh, wait. I know. I''ll bring him to Sierra, then." Ivy wryly smiled as she could imagine Sierra breastfeeding the baby. Thinking about it for a second, she almost burst intoughter. "Please do, sir. She''s fit for the task." "Good. I''ll be taking the kid." An picked up the basket and left the bus. He visited the agricultural world next. Sierra gazed at the brown baby. She brightly smiled at the boy. Without shame, she took off her shirt and revealed a massive pair of watermalones. . Agricultural World Sierra gazed at the brown baby. She brightly smiled at the boy. Without shame, she took off her shirt and revealed a massive pair of watermalones. "Can I really ask him to milk me? Can I ask him to sucky-suck mine?" An was speechless. He silently wished for Simba and Ester''s forgiveness as he was about to entrust their child to this pervert Minotaur. "Do whatever you want. Make sure he grows up healthy physically and morally." "Don''t worry, guardian. I shall raise him to be my finest stud. His life purpose shall be dedicated to me, my breasts, and the milking procedure! If necessary, I''ll teach him how to mate with females-" "Never mind. I''ll find another nanny." An changed his mind. "NO, PLEASE! LET ME RAISE THE BOY!" Sierra wailed and held An by his legs. Thetter sweated profusely even though he was a golem statue. "" An hesitated. He knew that he couldn''t trust this pervert cow woman, but nobody was trustworthy enough to take this role. ''I can''t bring Ester out either. If Ester and Esen met, Esen would probably kill her. It''s already a miracle that Ester is still alive so far.'' Not trusting Esen''s temperament, An chose to hide Ester in his dantian universe. Moreover, sending the boy back to his mother in his dantian universe was out of the question since the ce was too dangerous for a mortal infant. Only deities or strong immortals could withstand the pressure and the extreme gravity of his giant stars. "Fine. You take care of him. But if he grows up to be a pervert like you, I''ll tell the lord to dismiss you." Sierra beamed at An with her brightest smile. She pressed the baby boy''s face against her chest, "You can count on my pregnancy I mean, you can count on me!" "" . . Two dayster, Leo finally exited his room. Strangely, his skin was smoother and glossier than usual. He looked so healthy that the molgs and Ivy''s subordinates were surprised. Leo whistled in a good mood and left the bus. After he had left, Ivy sneaked into Leo''s room to check on her master. On the bed, Esen was out ofmission. Shey on her stomach. The traces of two days'' worth of bedbat stained the bed sheets, nket, carpet, and Esen''s body. Despite the carnage, Esen''s expression was strangely lewd as if she had been through a wild night. Ivy giggled. She was happy for her master. "Congrattions, Your Majesty. If he was this energetic, that stupid cow can''t possibly take him away from you." . . Leo adjusted his pants. His body was strangely lighter than usual. When Leo exited his bus, he found Dongfang Mei and a few of her workers waiting to receive him. They reported thepletion of their job. "My lord. We have finalized your wedding ceremony schedule. The invitation letters have been distributed. You and Lady Esen will attend the official ceremony tomorrow at noon." "Oh, I guess I''vee out at a good time." Leo was relieved. "Yes. I was nning to request Lady Ivy to inform you about your wedding." "Good. What do I need to know or prepare, by the way?" Dongfang Mei deeply sighed, "Please follow us to the hotel. We need to measure you and tailor your clothes. Also, we have to finish tailoring the bridge''s dress as well. Can we visit Lady Esen?" "Err" Leo thought of Esen''s condition. He scratched his head, "You can ask Ivy for that. She will measure my wife''s three sizes for you. I don''t think she''s in a good condition to meet anybody at the moment." Dongfang Mei was perplexed for a moment before she figured it out. The elder covered her mouth and giggled, "Please save your stamina for the wedding night, my lord. I know that you love her, but please don''t overly LOVE her before the ceremony." "I''ll try." "Please follow me." Dongfang Mei and her subordinates silentlyughed while they guided Leo to their tailors. The preparation for the wedding ceremony took all day. Leo got stuck in the hotel as Dongfang Mei and Xu Nuan rehearsed the event before the important day. . . Wedding Day, 5 AM. Although the event seemed abrupt, everybody had been preparing for this day for months. Merchants, cultivators, and Leo''s employees brought their gifts and treasures to the hotel, hoping to gain Leo''s favor. However, no one could enter the hotel yet. In front of the hotel, Dongfang Mei and Meowmeow''s elf concubines blocked the entrance. Instead of letting everybody in, they inspected the visitors'' name tags one by one. Everybody was forced to register their name and hand over their presents. Then, the staff gave them a wooden que, which indicated their seat number. A merchant wrote his name on the paper as instructed. Although reluctant, he presented a wooden box to the female employees behind the reception counter. "In this box, I''ve stored a precious 300-year-old spirit ginseng. Please inform Lord Florida Man that the Ginseng Pharmacy''s director Wang Ao sends his regards." One of the staff politely epted the box, yet she mercilessly opened it to inspect the content. Then, she showed it to a stone elf next to her. The golem gazed at it. Then, she gave it a score. "Two points." The receptionist nodded. She handed a wooden gue with a string of numbers. "Table 10288, seat 5." The merchant was confused but he received the gue nheless. Then, he followed another staff to his designated seat. When he entered a meeting hall, he discovered an endless field full of round tables, covered in white sheets. On the tables, empty tes and wine grasses were already prepared. They were modern round tables,monly found in modern Chinese restaurants. However, there was one issue C The table was not in the same room as the wedding event! "Hah?! Why here? What about the wedding?!" An employee sighed and pointed at arge TV monitor on the wall. She whispered, "You can view the event here, sir. The TVs will show the ceremony in the main hall." Wang Ao was confused. As he had never seen a TV before, he stood up and pointed at the ck screens. "What do you mean by TEE-VEES?! Why can''t I take part in the main hall?!" The employee''s smile never faded from her face. She calmly responded in a friendly voice tone, "Sir, this is a wedding ceremony between top experts. Do you expect to join the same table as immortals and gods from other worlds?" Wang Ao was taken aback, "B-But my gift is very precious! A-At least, he should give me face and..." The employee gave the merchant an ultimatum by pulling out a treasure. The item was one of many treasures that Leo and his men got from the dead invaders. Although Leo never ordered anybody to sell them, the manager mannequin put them in the supermarket once in a while to boost the sales. In addition, there was a mysterious event ''BLACK FRIDAY'' when Leo went on an expedition. At that time, many items were on discount, and several good artifacts were on sale. The staff managed to snag this spiritual steel fan, which was capable of blocking any attack from a quasi-immortal! Moreover, she could pay with installments of 12 months, which cost only 50 essence stones or 50 years of lifespan per month. Seeing the treasure, Wang Ao was speechless. He stuttered, "Umm, f-fairy miss. W-What is that?" "Of course, it''s a mortal-grade treasure." "Then, w-why do you bring it out? Are you threatening me? I-I''m only a mortal without a cultivation base! P-Please don''t bully me!" "Who said I''m bullying you? I''m only showing you what a proper gift looks like. Unless you can procure something of this standard at the minimum, you can''t possibly hope to get preferential treatment! Please understand your position, dear guest." "O-Okay." Wang Ao sulked and sat at his table. He regretted spending months and a lot of gold coins to get that ginseng. Fortunately, the hotel employees were not that heartless. Even though the ceremony hadn''t started yet, a waitress brought over a te of food and a bottle of wine. She served it to Wang Ao. "The wedding starts at noon. It might be boring to sit here without anything to do. Please enjoy this while you''re waiting, sir." "Okay." Wang Ao sighed and looked at the parting employee. He smacked his lips as everybody was all cultivators, and amoner like him couldn''t possibly talk back to them. As he had nothing to do, he gazed at the te of food and a bottle of wine on the table. On the te was a sunny-side egg, five stripes of bacon, a spoonful of boiled potatoes, garlic bread, and some sd. Wang Ao snorted as he recognized some of the food, except for the garlic bread, sd, and bacon. As he didn''t think much, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating. Upon putting a piece of bacon in his mouth, he widened his eyes in astonishment. The warmth of the food and Qi enveloped his mouth and stimted his taste buds. Wang Ao froze on the table as the Qi from the food entered his veins and muscle fibers. He started breaking a sweat. While Wang Ao was sweating profusely, the previous waitress returned with a clean towel and a bathrobe. She then whispered, "After you eat your food, you can take a shower in the bathroom at the end of the hall over there, sir. Actually, you can take a shower every time you eat a mouthful of your food. The impurity in your body mighte out of your pores. As you know, impurity of mortals smells unpleasant." Wang Ao widened his eyes and looked at the bath towel. He then nced at the food on the te. Without saying anything, Wang Ao grabbed the te and the towel. He then ran toward the bathroom while gas inside his belly threatened to release everything through the number 2 hole. The waitress giggled. She brought the wine bottle to the bathroom and ced it in front of the stall, where Wang Ao disappeared into. One customer down, many more to go. Chapter 289 Surprise Gift at Florida Mans Wedding: Guests Unwrap Bag of... Fertilizer?! 289 Surprise Gift at Florida Man''s Wedding: Guests Unwrap Bag of... Fertilizer?! Chapter 289 C Surprise Gift at Florida Man''s Wedding: Guests Unwrap Bag of... Fertilizer?! The registration progressed smoothly after the guests learned the trick. They handed over their gifts and received numbered ques ording to the value of their items. Mostmoners and weak cultivators were sent to a meeting hall on either the first floor or the second floor, ording to the value of their gifts. The waitresses served food, and all none cultivators got into the same predicament as Wang Ao. Only intermediate-level cultivators enjoyed their food without an issue. The size of the hotel was also impressive. Two thousand guests entered the second floor''s meeting rooms, but seats were still avable. Moreover, the washrooms and bathrooms were never fully upied even though half of the visitors had bowel movement issues. At 8 AM, groups of stronger cultivators arrived. Led by Han Hao, a team of elite disciples under his guidance made their appearance. As a representative of his group, he showed the receptionist his wedding gift. It was a glowing red sword, emitting intense yang Qi. Originally, it was an immortal-grade sword that belonged to one of the invaders. However, Han Hao tampered with it himself. "Here is my gift ''Enchanted Immortal ying Sword''. I may not be an expert cksmith, but I know a thing or two in the art of treasure refinement." Themoners behind Han Hao''s group were surprised to see a real artifact among the gifts. Some of them broke their queues to admire the weapon. Still, a few people questioned Han Hao''s item. Wu Buyi emerged out of the crowd. Unlike his usual antics, he wore proper robes. His body emitted no foul odor despite being a nerd who only took a bath once a week. "An immortal-grade sword? Are you crazy, Han Hao? This is an important wedding. You should have brought something better!" Han Hao snorted, "Jokes on you. My sword might look inferior in your eyes, but it contains the dao of the sword! Anybody who holds it and uses it for a month can naturally learn the dao of swords! Even if the sword owner doesn''t train every day, he will still gain enlightenment!" The crowd murmured in astonishment. Regr merchants andmoners drooled in envy as they had no mentor to guide them. They wished that they had the sword. "As expected of the disciplinary elder. His sword might not be useful for the lord, but he can use it to pass down the sword daos to his descendants! Such gift will surely impress Lord Florida Man!" One of the guests praised. "Indeed. The quality of the item isn''t everything. It''s about the usefulness of the gift that counts!" Another bystander chimed in. Han Hao puffed his chest and nced at his colleague, "How''s that? What''s your gift? Do you think you cane up with something better than me?" "Pfft. You braggart knows nothing. Here, hold my beer!" Wu Buyi cut the queue and stood in front of the counter. He presented a spatial ring to a receptionist. The staff members received it and ejected a sample of the goods. A bottle of rainbow liquid came out. Wu Buyi exined, "My wedding gifts are 1,000 bottles of purified rainbow river! As you know, the southern river of our domain is heavily contaminated because of Lord Florida Man''s pet. However, that doesn''t mean that the contaminated water is unusable. As a veteran alchemist, I''ve dedicated months to research ande up with a purifying technique, which enables me to make the river water consumable! I call these ''Florida Drinking Water'' to honor our lord''s name! Also, I''ve tested it before. Anybody who drinks this can gain at least 1,000 years'' worth of cultivation!" "HUH?!" Although the domain was rich in cultivation resources and cultivation methods, most of them were inconvenient. For example, every employee could cultivate near the pylon tower for free, but they had topete for the limited avable seats. In addition, consumable goods were expensive. Every grain pill had a price tag in Leo''s store. Even the food cost essence stones. Despite the high cost of living, every cultivator yearned for Leo''s cultivation resources because of their exceptional quality. The emergence of a new cultivation resource aroused their desire and greed. Every cultivator gazed at the water bottle and salivated. "S-Sir Wu, c-could you share the refinement method?" A cultivator in the crowd asked. Wu Buyi snorted, "Ha, no! I''ve already presented the method along with the samples! The notes are already inside!" A receptionist heard it. She ejected a book to check its authenticity. After flipping a few pages, she nodded. "Here is your que, sir. You can attend the wedding on the fourth floor. Also, here is your room''s key card. The Lord has instructed us to book a room for every VIP. You can stay in the designated room for a week, sir." "Oh, nice!" Wu Buyiughed and took the table que and the keycard. He turned around to sneer at his friend. "I wonder what floor you will get. First floor? Second floor? Hehehehe." "" Han Hao grumbled and shifted his gaze to the receptionist in front of him, waiting for her verdict. The receptionist wryly smiled. Although she was a member of the Tang n, she was instructed not to give anybody preferential treatment. Thus, she picked a que on her desk and revealed the result. "Sir Han Hao. You can attend the wedding on the third floor." "T-Third floor?" Han Hao was taken aback. "I-I''m sorry, sir. I''m just following the guidebook. Weapons are less valuable than consumable goods ording to the lord, sir." "" Han Hao was crestfallen while Wu Buyi cackled like a viin. The former turned around and pointed his finger at Wu Buyi. "Don''t get cocky, you little shit! Just because you''re close to the lord, that doesn''t mean you''re superior to your peers!" "Heh, LOSER!" "YOU!" Han Hao wanted to punch his friend in the face, but he was wary of the stone elves in the area. He smacked his lips and followed the lines out of the queuing area. But as Han Hao was about to leave, his son followed the queue from the other line and presented his gift. Although he was Han Hao''s son, they didn''t share the same idea. "Here is an ingot, smelted from the hull of broken otherworldly artifacts. I don''t know what it is, but I think Lord Florida Man can appraise it. I hope it can be put to good use." The receptionist in front of him was a former disciple of the Amazonian Sanctuary. She was as confused as the others when she received the item. But when she nced at the guideline instructions on her desk, she wryly smiled and reluctantly gave Han Hao a few items. "Here is your que, sir. You can attend the wedding on the fifth floor. Also, here is your keycard to your room. The King Suite section is on the 10th floor, and you can rest in the room for a month. All three meals will be provided for free, and you can order it by using the room service." Han Hao and Wu Buyi froze in their tracks. They turned around in unison. "WHAT?!" Both of them stomped toward the young maiden. They inherited the spirits of Karens and yelled at her face. "WHY ARE YOU SENDING HIM TO THE FIFTH FLOOR?! WHAT''S WRONG WITH OUR GIFTS?!" The receptionist sweated profusely while the others next to her also flinched in fear. Fortunately, their superior officers had predicted this oue and prepared for such a scenario. An attractivedy slowly walked out of the office. She patted the nervous receptionists behind the counter and took over the role. Dongfang Mei smiled at Wu Buyi and Han Hao. She exined, "Don''t be angry, you senile geezers. We''re family here." "But your subordinate!" Han Hao pointed at the girls. "Listen here, you little shit!" Dongfang Mei released her aura of an immortal. She stared down at Han Hao and Wu Buyi, "If you want to me someone, you can me our lord for setting up with this criteria. I''ll read it for you. ''Give preferential treatment to anyone who brings RARE MATERIALS. Give respectable treatment to anyone who CONTRIBUTED TO TECHNICAL RESEARCH! ANYBODY who brings non-consumable items or non-mineral items to the wedding should be sent to the third floor. Common items, to the first or second floor. Unless someone wants to give me a freaking spaceship, don''t ask for my presence!'' There you have it. Any question?" Wu Buyi and Han Hao were baffled. They looked at each other before they internally screamed in frustration. "DAMMIT! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!!" "I KNEW IT! WHY DIDN''T I THINK ABOUT THIS?!" Dongfang Mei sneered and waved her hands, shooing them away. "Now, get lost, you idiots. Don''t waste other people''s time. We have more guests to wee and entertain! SHOO! SHOO! Oh, junior Han Meng, you can head to the fifth floor. There''s only one meeting room there. If you follow the sign, you won''t miss it." Han Meng drylyughed and nced at his father and his uncle. As he had expected, Wu Buyi and Han Hao red at him as if he had vited their grandmothers. The three troublemakers left the scene quietly. Still, themotion caused a stir among the crowd. Manymoners and merchants who initially brought rare herbs, medicines, or artifacts left the queuing lines to fix their presents. After the uproar, the following guests started showing weird items. A bundle of dirt near the contaminated water, a piece of obsidian, a bag ofva badger''s poops C Weird stuff kept showing up as presents. Despite their attempts, Dongfang Mei and the employees were merciless. They had predicted this oue, and they sent every weirdo to the first floor as punishment. Then, some idiots thought they were clever. They bundled a package of essence stones and presented them as gifts for the employees instead of handing over a wedding gift. "Lady Dongfang Mei. Here is our sincerity. Could you please give us a que to the fifth floor?" One of the merchant groups gave Dongfang Mei a bag of 50 essence stones as a bribe. Dongfang Mei widely grinned. She epted the bribe in glee. However, her next words shocked the merchants. "Security, please escort these men out of the premises. They are banned from taking part in the wedding." "W-WHAT?!" The merchant group was shocked. "Thank you for your present, my dear. But since you don''t have a present for the lord, you cannot enter this ce. NOW, GET LOST!" "NO! WAIT!!" It was toote for the crowd of greedy merchants. Stone elves dragged the people out of the building. . The hectic day continued as more people wished to attend the wedding. Because the front gate''s reception counter was inadequate to sort over 10,000 guests, more employees came out of the building to help. Meowmeow also brought his concubines over to maintain the order. By 10 AM, most of the guests were seated. Unfortunately,ters could not join this wedding ceremony as the first and second-floor seats were full. As only the third floor or higher floors were avable, most of the people left in disappointment. Still, this gave an opportunity to cultivators who were rich in resources. Tang Xuan and Tang Tian came out of their seclusion and entered the hotel. They presented their gifts at the same time. Tang Tian presented a diary, which contained his insight and his dao of poison. As for Tang Xuan, he presented an alchemy recipe book. Dongfang Mei smiled at the two. Not even a blink of hesitation, she presented them keycards to King Suites and the que to the fifth floor. "Congrattions, gentlemen. You are very thoughtful!" Both Tangsughed, "Smart men thoroughly prepare. Only silly men rush in." "True," Dongfang Mei giggled.

The next hurdles were two real-time PVP matches and one seasonal expedition. Thetter was easy, but the PVP match sounded intimidating. As Leo had toplete these quests eventually, he decided to do it right away. Leo wrote a note on the table, telling Esen that he might be away for a few days. Then, he opened the PVP system screen. Without hesitation, he picked the monthly PVP battle. WHOOSH Leo in the groom''s white suit vanished and reappeared in the middle of the Fate Stadium Arena as usual. He opened his eyes, expecting to be alone in the arena and waiting for his opponent. Betraying Leo''s expectations, his opponent had been queuing for a match and waiting on the stage for longer than him. Leo found a werewolf opponent. Coincidentally, he was none other than Overlord Milo, who came here toplete his monthly PVP and earn some rewards. "You You look familiar." Milo in his giant Fenrir appearance flinched. "Oh, hi." Leo brightly smiled at a familiar face. "" As Leo''s face changed, Milo took a few seconds to recall his memory. Eventually, he remembered Leo. "YOU''RE THAT INVADER! WE''VE FINALLY MET! THIS TIME I WILL CRUSH YOU!" Milo remembered Leo''s face. They had met before when Leo officially raided one of a dead yer''ss. Last time, Milo left Leo alone because he was not in the mood. But this time, he was eager for a fight. But then, their names appeared on the scoreboard. . Name: Leo [Redacted] Title/Alias: Florida Man Race: [Redacted] Age: [Redacted] Gender: Male Level / Cultivation Base: [Redacted] Remaining Lifespan: 2,142,543,938 Years . Discovering the nickname of Leo, Milo closed his mouth. He widened his eyes as he finally recognized his sworn enemy. "FLORIDA MAN! SO, YOU''RE THE NU''EARTHE SCUM! I''VE FINALLY FOUND YOU!!" Milo bellowed again. "Umm." Leo pursed his lips in bemusement. He repeated a famous vtuber''s catchphrase in an innocent voice once again, "Oh, hi." Milo gnashed his teeth in anger. He invoked his Qi and scanned Leo''s aura. He was into a rude awakening. As Milo had been by Ellen''s side, he recognized the aura of a karmic sovereign. Butpared to Ellen, Leo''s aura seemed more refined and controlled. Moreover, there was a tinge of strange air within his aura. ''Right. Queen Eleanor invaded Florida Man and was defeated. If that monster lost to this man, I might not be his opponent.'' Milo was not stupid enough to challenge someone whose strength surpassed Eleanor. He deeply inhaled and bellowed, "I FORFEIT! GET ME OUTTA HERE!" Unfortunately for Milo, per the rules, he could not forfeit a PVP match. Every system match could only be resolved after one party was incapacitated or dead. BEEP The system arena ignored Milo''s plea. It initiated the betting phase, allowing spectators to wager their lifespan. Because of Milo''s outburst, all bet was poured on Leo''s side. Leo gazed at the betting rates and snorted in disappointment. As a rich man, wagering a billion YOL for 100,000 YOL was pointless. He ignored it. "Hey, wanna bet?" Leo tried to scam Milo to make a personal wager. "NO! GO TO HELL!" "Shame." Leo was disappointed. The betting phase ended. Then, the arena started counting down. Milo groaned in helplessness. He turned to Leo and prepared to fight for his life. Meanwhile, Leo was relieved. At least, he wouldn''t have an issue this month. He started nning his schedule and thinking of the dwarf. BEEP The fight signal sounded the beginning of the match. Milo held his breath and charged forward. He enveloped his arms with the power of karma and swung his right w at Leo''s face. Leo''s eyes followed the trajectory of the ws. ''Hmm?'' A strange phenomenon urred to Leo for the first time. He found Milo''s movement slower than usual. Moreover, his inner Qi stimted his entire body, which brimmed with power that could burst out at any moment. Following his instinct, Leo raised his hand and parried the wolf''s paw with the back of his fist. PA Upon contact, the paw and the ws shattered. Half of Milo''s front right leg exploded into blood mist. N?v(el)B\\jnn The bullet-time moment never ceased. Leo frowned and observed how droplets and militated flesh of Milo''s left arm scattered everywhere in the air. ''Is this Matrix? How beautiful.'' Since the fight was easy, he took a step forward. Then, he threw a straight punch toward Milo''s chest. ''Oh, wait. Fenrir''s blood, heart, liver, and other things are valuable in alchemy. I shouldn''t st this mofo.'' Leo pulled his fist back. Instead of aiming at Milo''s chest, he threw an uppercut toward Milo''s jaw. After all, the head of a Fenrir was less precious than the other parts. BOOM The punch connected. Milo''s head shattered and his brain exploded. The bullet-time ended. The giant Fenrir copsed on the stage. WHOOSH Milo''s soul escaped the fleshly body and hovered in mid-air. He red at Leo in resentment. "I FORFEIT! I CAN''T FIGHT ANYMORE!" Leo turned to the overlord. He pondered which domain ability he should use in this position. Unfortunately, the match was concluded. "" The spectators all cheered as most of them won the wagers. As for Milo, his soul escaped the stage. Leo sighed. He clenched his fist. "I don''t know how, but I got another one in the bag. Now, I have to wait a month and do it one more time." The stadium glowed as it prepared to set up the next match. ording to the rules, the winners and losers of the pvp arenas would be automatically teleported to either the front counter of the Fate Stadium or their reserved hotel room. WHOOSH Leo wasn''t a permanent resident or reserved a hotel room. He was sent to the front counter for the second time. Without asking anybody, Leo queued to buy an entrance ticket. When he reached the counter, he showed the identity token that he had purchased during hisst visit. The receptionist was themia that had advised Leo thest time. She checked Leo''s identity. "Your fighter pass has expired, sir. Would you like to extend it?" "Same price, right? 10,000 years of lifespan?" "Yes, sir." "I''ll take one." The receptionist nodded. She updated Leo''s information and checked his records on herputer. When the receptionist saw the updated lifespan in Leo''s possession, she widened her eyes in astonishment. "Um, sir. Would you like me to upgrade your fighter pass to the veteran pass?" Veteran Fighter Pass was usually granted to elite fighters who fought in this arena more than 10 times. It granted small perks to the owner, such as unlimited ess to the facilities, no expiry date, and ess to exclusive services. Leo still remembered the condition. He doubted themia''s motive, "AM I eligible? I don''t remember fighting here more than 10 times." "Any fighter with more than 100 million years of lifespan can directly upgrade their fighter passes, sir. Would you like to upgrade yours?" "Are there any fees?" "It''s free, sir." Leo shrugged. He never hated free stuff, but he hated hidden conditions and scammers. For the sake of his safety, he probed further. "What''s the catch?" "There is no condition, sir. The Fate Stadium wees all VIPs and potential investors." "In short, you want rich people to spend their money in your stadium, correct?" "Yes, sir." "Hmm. Fine. Upgrade mine." Leo nodded and allowed themia to upgrade his pass. "Thank you, sir." Themia reced Leo''s token with a tinum card. On the card, it showed the face of Leo and his alias. She then gestured for Leo to enter the VIP lounge behind her. "You can enter the stadium this way, sir." "Okay." Leo yed along and followed themia into the lounge behind the counter area. . Walking into the room, Leo found a massive lobby. Some tables and couches were twice asrge and taller than average human furniture. But in some sections, the furniture was small enough for children to use. Fortunately, there were enough chairs and tea tables for humans. Themia bowed and introduced the lounge. "This ce is reserved for crystal bearer pass and veteran fighter pass holders. The food and drinks of this lounge are on the house. But if you require assistance, such as hotel booking, you can make requests at the service center counter down the hallway." "Oh, nice." Leo looked around and found food bars and a buffet area. He licked his lips. "Oh, before I forgot," themia followed Leo''s gaze and warned him. "In the buffet area, using any inventory system or storage rings is prohibited." "Eh? Why?" Leo was dejected. "In the past, some selfish yers robbed the stadium''s food and took advantage of other yers. We almost ran out of food because of those gluttons. Anyway, please don''t use any ring or inventory in the area, or you''ll be arrested by the staff. If you''re arrested, you might be thrown into a death chess game." "" Themia bowed and excused herself. She returned to the counter to resume her duty. Leo gazed at the shaking hips of themia. He smacked his lips, but he shook his head afterward. ''I''m a married man. No more lewd gaze, damn you.'' Leo lightly patted his forehead, but the impact behind his strength dizzied him. It took a few minutes to regain his bnce. After regaining hisposure, Leo scanned the area. Fortunately, nobody lingered in the lobby lounge to mock him. Although Leo nned to return home early, he got sidetracked. His legs guided him to the buffet area to check the alien''s food. The food didn''t disappoint him. From raw blood to cooked food, the stadium featured everything. Meat for every type of creature, including humans, goblins, orcs, snakes, wolves, elves, and regr animals was on the menu. Leo bit his lower lips. He understood why the robbers stole food from here as everything seemed useful in alchemy. But as Leo had graduated from eating raw food, he picked some edible meat cut that could be cooked as steaks on his te. He then passed them to the chef behind an ind cook station. "Medium rare, please." The chef of the cooking station was a muscr green orc with two long fangs extending from his lower jaw. He gently took Leo''s te and humbly smiled. "Would you like me to season your steak, sir?" Leo nced at the steak cut and counted it. "One without seasoning, one controlled steak, and one of your rmendations, please." "A gourmet, I see. Very well, sir. It shall be done in a few minutes. I''ll serve them to your table." "Thank you." Leo was impressed with the service. He went to the bar counter next to order some drinks. The bartender was also a green orc, but it was a SHE. The orcdy was as gorgeous as divine elves, but she had firm muscles and an impressive chest. Leo sat at the bar and picked a brochure. He read the menu for a moment. Then, his eyes found weird cocktails on the list. He asked the bartender. "Miss, what the heck is BUKKAKE?!" "Hahaha. That?" The orc giggled, "It''s a white sticky cocktail that I will ssh it from a hose to your face. Would you like one, sir? It''s fun." "No, thank you. Just curious." The lounge was wilder than Leo had imagined. Chapter 294 Buffet Restaurant Calls Cops on Florida Man for Not Eating Vegetables

Chapter 294 Buffet Restaurant Calls Cops on Florida Man for Not Eating Vegetables

?294 Buffet Restaurant Calls Cops on Florida Man for Not Eating Vegetables Chapter 294 C Buffet Restaurant Calls Cops on Florida Man for Not Eating Vegetables After ordering a regr wine, Leo sat at his table and rxed. The orc chef served the steaks along with side dishes 10 minutester. Leo took his time to enjoy his food. While he ate, he observed every employee in the lounge with his Qi sense. All of the employees here were all deities. Some were even stronger than Esen''s minions. This got Leo curious. He wondered how powerful the stadium owner was. Also, he hated the fact that his system was dependent on the stadium''s system. ''One of these days, I should seek the stadium owner. Or rather, should I search for a karmic fate crystal and increase my power ceiling?'' He inclined against his chair and looked at the ceiling, thinking hard. Because of the distraction, Leo stopped eating the steaks on his te. While Leo was in deep thought, the crisp sound of footsteps came from the other exit of the lounge. A tall and sexy divine elf in a red dress walked toward Leo. Without asking for Leo''s permission, she slid a chair and sat in front of Leo. She leaned forward and rested her chin on her hands. Leo stopped looking at the ceiling and slowly gazed at the mysterious stranger. Their eyes met. "Hello, Florida Man." The woman grinned. Leo slightly frowned. The woman had a simr face and the same voice as Esen. However, she looked more mature. Her voluptuous chest, red lips, and smooth skin could fall any nation, but her palms seemed crude, hardened, and blistered. "Hello, femme fatal," replied Leo. "What do you want?" "How cold. Do you even know who I am?" Leo scoffed and resumed eating. He cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Noticing Leo''s attitude, the stranger grinned. She introduced herself. "I am Ellen Sydin, the new queen of the Divine Elf Kingdom and the president of the DEZNUTS council." Leo shrugged, "Good for you. So?" "You''re not surprised at all?" "I do, but I have no F to give. So?" Ellen widely smirked. She suddenly took off the upper part of her dress to show her bunnies. "Are you either dumb or infertile? Can''t you catch the hint?" Leo nced at Ellen''s perfect breasts. But as Leo had unloaded so many bullets in Esen, his sage mode remained active. He clicked his tongue. "As a proud married man, I''m not interested in affairs, especially my wife''s sister. Go tempt someone else." Ellen flinched for a moment. She slowly adjusted her dress and put it on. Then, she leaned back and crossed her legs. "You know, 100 billion handsome elves would kill to catch a glimpse at my face. I''m offering you my body here." "Then, go ask them for their dicks." "But I want you to join my harem. I need a quality stud to produce good seeds for my future children." "" Leo put his knife and fork on the side of the te. He wiped his mouth with a warm towel on the table and gave Ellen a meaningful look. "Your mother said the same thing. Do you know what she got? Gender equality punch to the face." Ellen giggled, "Did you kill her?" "Deader than dead. She got MEGUMINed." Although Ellen didn''t understand what ''MEGUMINed'' was, she could guess the vocabry. She was satisfied. "Hmm. Very nice. Now, I like you more. Are you sure you don''t want to be my consort? You just need to copte with me when I ovte. I can do many ys C submissive, femdom, BDSM, or any kink you dream of. Not only you can im my body, but you can also enjoy my wealth and status as the prime consort of Divine Elf Kingdom!" "Too clich. You elves are too horny! Get some help!" Leo started to get annoyed. "We are honest, unlike you hypocritical humans. That''s why those lowly dogs keep calling you people Nu''Earthe. You need to ept your primal instinct and be honest with it. That way, the civilization can flourish." "What a load of craps. Rapists would have dominated the society." "I beg to differ. It''s them who will have to work to get those rights. Women will be forced to rely on their strength to protect their bodies. As for men, they also had topete with fellow men and ovee their prospect''s strength. Because of such encouragement, our race never stops improving their cultivation strength." "In short, if they are weak, they can either die a virgin or be enved." "Exactly." Leo shook his head in disgust. He didn''t want to discuss another word. "You people are disgusting. Your society must be one hell of a shit hole." Ellen burst intoughter, "That''s the difference between us and you humans. We dominate the universe while you humans be wandering fugitives." "" Leo stood up. As he lost his appetite, he nned to go home and return to his wife. Unfortunately, Ellen predicted Leo''s thoughts. She also stood up and ejected a broadsword from her system inventory. The sword pointed at Leo''s neck. "Florida Man. Join me." Leo was relieved that Ellen finally used a forceful method. He was tired of this farce. "How about no? Wanna settle this in the arena?" Ellen smirked, "Heh. No need." "Mhm. Get lost, bitch. Shoo, shoo!" "Cool. Don''t regret this." Ellen pulled her sword away. She turned around and left without uttering a word. Leo scoffed and patted his clothes. Although he nned to visit the dwarf and the spaceship vendor, Leo opened his system menu and chose to press the ''Return'' button. But after pressing the button, the corner of Leo''s eyes noticed that the whiskey bottle that he had ordered from the bartender was still full. He grabbed it along with the te of steaks. Then, he vanished. . . After Leo had teleported away, the bartender and the chef changed their expressions. They lifted their cor cloth closer to their mouth and whispered. "This is the VIP lounge. We are reporting another food robbery. The thief''s alias is Florida Man. The stolen goods are a te of steaks and a bottle of 20-Year Medusa Oak Whiskey." A few secondster, the response came from the higher-ups. A voice entered their mind. "The CCTV footage has been retrieved. Good job. We will apprehend him when he shows up here again." The orcs nodded. The chef returned to his duty as if nothing had happened. Only the bartender widely grinned andmented. "What a fool. Didn''t he read that all food and drinks must only be consumed here? Bringing even a piece of food here to their homeworld is illegal. He''s just asking to be enved." The orc chef shook his head and deeply sighed. "The rules are too strict. Sometimes, I wonder if I should report this matter to the superior officers. I mean, it''s just a few pieces of cheap steaks and cheap whiskey." "You know nothing, Yraunaj. It''s a scheme of the higher-ups. We just want an excuse to enve strong yers and steal their fate crystals. Their dantian crystals are also valuable, especially the humans. If we can acquire one of them, we can learn the secrets behind Overlord Xiaomao''s abnormal strength!" Again, the orc chef ''Yraunaj'' disagreed with his partner and the stadium''s ways of doing things. He felt like the stadium was scamming their valuable guests. ''I hope he is strong enough to handle the yer Hunter Squadron. I wish your true strength is independent of the system human." . . Meanwhile, Ellen''s expression was dark. He was disappointed in Leo. "Foolish. Had he agreed, I could have made him the King of Divine Elf. He would have ruled half of the universe! I would have supported him and purged the Kishin n from the universe. Then, we would have formed a permanent alliance with Overlord Xiaomao" Ellen deeply grumbled while she opened her system menu, nning to return home. But as the system screen appeared, a notification message screen manifested. DING "" Ellen raised her eyebrows in bemusement. A secondter, she burst intoughter. "What a fool! I thought you were stupid, but you are downright autistic! How could you have fallen for the stadium''s petty trick?! Had you simply left the table, no one would have batted an eye! Now, you''re done for!" The new queen looked forward to seeing Leo and Esen struggle. After all, the army behind the Fate Stadium was the only one who could rival the divine elf kingdom''s forces. . . Leo returned to his bus. He looked at the clock. Only 30 minutes had passed. Leo was proud that he got home early. With free time at hand, Leo nned to manually improve his kingdom by purchasing some prebuilt houses from the shopping system. He opened his online shopping menu. Then, he was prompted with a red notification message. "" Leo was confused. He didn''t remembermitting any crime in the Fate Stadium. All he did was take a whiskey and a te of steaks back. Steak? Whiskey? Leo paused for a minute. He pped his forehead. "Those idiots. They should have told me that I couldn''t take any food outside the buffet area in the first ce! Is this a scam?!" Leo navigated to the PVP system screen. His hand hovered over the ''Surrender'' button. But then, he pulled his finger away. Something seemed fishy when Leo pondered about it. Why would the rich and resourceful Fate Stadium deploy task forces to hunt down a little thief? Wouldn''t that be excessive? He closed the system windows and crossed his arms to think. Hourster, Leo tilted his head in frustration. He had a headache as his thoughts were in chaos. ''At a time like this, I shouldn''t be overthinking things. Instead of wasting my time, I should waste other people''s time! How about asking Kitten and Meowmeow about it? They are more knowledgeable than me, right?'' Being inspired, Leo left the bus and visited the mystic realm portal. Chapter 295 Florida Man Funds Space Traveling Project, Aiming to be the First Space Gas Smoker

Chapter 295 Florida Man Funds Space Traveling Project, Aiming to be the First Space Gas Smoker

?295 Florida Man Funds Space Traveling Project, Aiming to be the First Space Gas Smoker Chapter 295 C Florida Man Funds Space Traveling Project, Aiming to be the First Space Gas Smoker Arrived at the mystic realm tform, Leo searched for the two advisers'' whereabouts. Unfortunately, Meowmeow and An were nowhere to be seen. Leo approached Lucky, who wagged his tail and expected a head pat. Satisfying the doggy, Leo stroked his chin and head. "Hey, good boy. Where is that lewd devil and fisherman?" "Them, woof? That birb usually hangs out in Agriculture World with his new concubines. If it''s Kitten, he said something about a parked spaceship on the asteroid belt or something, woof." "Asteroid Belt?" Leo was curious. He also recalled that An once ditched them and disappeared along with Eleanor''s dreadnaught battleship. "What is Kitten nning to do with that ship?" "I don''t know either, woof." Lucky pouted as he really didn''t know. Seeing the innocent look of Lucky, Leo left him be. He changed the subject, "Is Meowmeow in the AW (Agriculture World) right now?" "Yes, woof! But be prepared for some disgusting scene, woof." "Meh, what can go wrong." Leo ignored Lucky''s warning and proceeded to the Agriculture World Portal. He crossed to the other side and found a green world, filled with fresh oxygen and a foul sultry liquid odor. Turning his head toward the source of the strong scent, Leo found a hundred stone elves lying on the ground, soaked in white liquid. He deeply frowned and looked at the queue of elf golems who had been lining and waiting for their turns. At the front of the queue was a handsome man whose face resembled Dr. Mao Miaomiao and Leo in his youthful appearance. Seeing the angel with his face doing naughty things to other female golems made Leo nauseous. He stomped toward the golem and yelled. "Meowmeow, stop banging other rocks! I have something to ask you!" Meowmeow whose body part was connected to another elf golem turned his head and looked at his master, "Oh, master. You''vee at a good time. Wait a second. You look younger again! I bet your vitality is restored too! Wanna join me? We have so many girls to y with!" Leo covered his face with his right palm and groaned, "I said, stop banging your wives for a second and pay attention, okay? It will be quick. Once we''re done, you can do whatever you want with them as long as they are happy with it. I won''t interfere with your life!" "Oh, sure. What do you need, master?" Leo got to the point, "Do you know anything about Fate Stadium and their system maniption abilities?" Meowmeow flinched. His yful expression changed, "Fate Stadium, you say?" "Yes. You know something, didn''t you?" Meowmeow paused for a long time. He slowly stood up and gazed at his wives, "Leave us alone. We''ll continue this in the other days." The girls seemed disappointed. They bowed at Leo and retreated to the mystic realm tform. After both men were alone on the empty grasnd, Meowmeow revealed a secret. "Master, are you aware that we four guardian golems share our thoughts and memory, right?" "Something like that, but you have your own personality and conscience, correct?" "Yes. Everybody''s conscience is unique because everyone inherits a different bloodline and abilities. Well, originally, all abilities are yours to begin with. We just inherit some that you haven''t awakened yet." Leo found the info interesting, but that was not his purpose for visiting Meowmeow. "Back to the topic, what about the Fate Stadium? Does anybody know anything?" Meowmeow closed his eyes and confessed, "I managed to peek into Kitten''s unique memory. He seems to be an expert in this topic because he is more special than the rest of us." "Ah, figured as much." As Leo had predicted, the fisherman golem was the smartest guy among the four guardian golems. Moreover, something unique about An gave an eerie feeling that Leo couldn''t describe. It was neither dangerous nor pleasant, and that guy''s tone and voice were always apologetic and happy at the same time. "By the way, master. Do you know that Kitten has a soul?" "A soul, you say?" Something clicked in Leo''s mind. A puzzle piece filled the iplete picture that Leo imagined An. "That makes a lot of sense. That guy is too weird to be someone who has been born from my shadow or thoughts. What kind of secrets he is hiding? Do you know anything else?" Meowmeow nodded, "We know that Kitten has visited the stadium more than once, but we can''t dig deeper into his memory. That''s all we know." "Hohoh Good. Good. Anything else?" "If it''s rted to the Fate Stadium, that''s all we know." "Alright. That''s good enough." Leo rubbed his chin. He nned to confront An after this. "Also, master," Meowmeow was concerned about An. "What is it?" "I know that guy is sussy, but he means well. I can tell that he''s trying his best to support you from the shadow. He gives off an air of a dotting father." "Pfft. Father my ass. If he has a soul, he must have harbored a hidden desire or a personal agenda. I''ll go check him out." "Please, master. Don''t be too harsh on him. He''s not your enemy." "I know." Leo returned to the mystic realm tform. He widely grinned, eager to meet his suspicious helper. Meanwhile, Meowmeow was no longer in the mood to y. He restored his outfit and followed Leo to the other side as well. Before Meowmeow left, he turned around and gazed toward the direction of the farms. Over a thousand kilometers away, Sierra and Mu-Nyang were busy managing the livestock and the child of Ester. Meowmeow prayed for Mu-Nyang''s sanity. After all, Sierra was even more perverted than him. ''Mu-Nyang, can you read my thoughts? I hope your tentacles are safe and pure. Don''t let that cow abuse you.'' A minuteter, Meowmeow heard the reply from the Cathulhu. ''My purity has been soiled, munya.'' Meowmeow burst intoughter and shook his head. He changed his mind, turning around and flying toward the cat. ''Did Sierra bully you?'' Asked Meowmeow. ''She used my tentacles to squeeze her breasts, munya. This is sexual harassment! I want to report this to master, munya!'' Meowmeow almost diedughing. He identally fell from the sky as he lost focus. ''Maybe she''s asking you to extract her breast milk for the baby?'' ''No way, munya! You can''t see her expression. She''s a SICK COW, munya!'' ''Okay. Okay. I''ll be there to help you. I know how to handledies.'' ''Don''t cross the line, munya. Her karma is connected to the REAL Sierra. As soon as the original Sierra is reincarnated, she can extract OUR Sierra''s memory and discover us, munya!'' ''Oh, dear.'' Meowmeow started to have a headache. He wondered what he should do to this unruly system clone. . . After returning to his domain, Leo flew to the void and scanned for the hidden dreadnaught. It wasn''t easy to locate a specific object several light-years away. Fortunately, the asteroid belt formed a dome curtain around the sr system, making it easy to spot. Leo stopped searching for a spaceship within the void. Instead, he flew toward the asteroid belt to measure the denseness and distance. As the name implies, the asteroid belt was full of floating rocks, random minerals, space junk, and colorful gas. Leo entered the fog in space and identally inhaled a wisp of yellowish gas. He coughed and spat a mouthful of saliva. The gas earlier was so rotten that Surstromming smelled like flowers. Even the contaminated food back on Earth could not rival this scent. Still, the foul gas contained a thick poisonous essence. Leo estimated that a deity could spend a day or two here to cultivate its Qi and condense a few poison stars. Leo pped his cheeks to focus. He covered his mouth and plucked his nostrils with his fingers. Then, he flew into the space fog to scan through the asteroid belt. Traveling through the smelly fog full of floating asteroids was irritating and frustrating. Because of his traveling speed and poor vision, Leo bumped into giant rocks several times. Annoyed by the asteroids, Leo waved his arms around. He stored anything he touched in his system inventory, exploiting his system features. The trick worked perfectly in this situation. As the system inventory''s collection range depended on the user''s cultivation base, Leo identally turned himself into a ck hole, sucking every hard object into his body. Within a minute, a section of asteroids, minerals, junk, and a portion of smelly gas vanished. Everything within a 100,000km diameter disappeared. The yellowish mist continued to follow the sr system''s gravity as usual. Although they moved at the speed of 2,000km/s, they couldn''t recover all the lost gas that Leo had consumed. Leo nkly gazed at his system inventory. 5,000 different items upied 5,000 item slots, including the gas. Every item of the same type was stacked in the same slot. The storage limit of the inventory system seemed infinite. Leo tilted his head in confusion as he vaguely recalled that it was supposed to be limited before. He wondered how it got overpowered. "This system is quite a cheat, isn''t it? Was it the white tree''s blessing? Or was it Eleanor''s entity fate crystal? But didn''t I use it?" Leo was confused. The more Leo learned about the system''s perks, the more he was wary of the yer hunter squadron and the Fate Stadium. Because of the looming threat, Leo stopped being sidetracked. He continued to search for An''s hidden ship. . . Two dayster, Leo''s inventory slots kept expanding. 60,000 slots were filled. Some of the item slots contained over a million objects of the same type. Although collecting resources was fun, Leo was not in the mood to enjoy being a loot goblin. He focused on clearing the path, searching for An''s ship. Hard work paid off. Finally, Leo spotted a weird steel Shenlong dragon armed with giant cannons at a distance. It also moved like it was alive, swimming through the thick asteroid belt''s gas. Leo pursued, hoping to find An in the battleship. But then, the dreadnaught suddenly picked up the speed and teleported away, vanishing like it never existed. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Leo looked around and tried to track the dreadnaught battleships. He closed his eyes and read the karma of this universe. Karma in this universe came in various forms. For example, every living being was tied with at least one karma string and was bound with the local karma river. Cutting it would end the person''s life and might erase the soul. On the other hand, objects also contained karma in the form of object memory. Every solid material left behind traces of time, which any sage or stronger entity could read and follow. Leo reopened his eyes and found a trail of rainbow road. It led toward the deep space. "Tsk." Leo grumbled in frustration. He turned around and rushed home as he didn''t want to leave his domain for too long. Another major battle might ensue. He needed some preparations.

Chapter 296 Florida Man Arrested for Joyriding Coffin Through Car Factory

?296 Florida Man Arrested for Joyriding Coffin Through Car Factory Chapter 296 C Florida Man Arrested for Joyriding Coffin Through Car Factory After Leo had returned home, the dragon dreadnaught mothership revealed its appearance near the location where Leo had been. An who was inside the mothership''s main bridge faintly grinned, feeling proud of himself. ''You still have a lot to learn, my boy. If you can be tricked with simple back-and-forth teleportation, you can''t possibly catch top karmic sovereigns in this universe like Overlord Kishin or those yer hunters.'' He had so many things he wanted to teach Leo. However, it was not the right time. An deeply sighed and inclined on his armchair, recalling the faces of the Fate Stadium''s mastermind. Thinking of the person, An''s expression turned solemn. ''Leo isn''t ready for a karmic fate crystal yet. His foundation iscking even though he can use the simtion mode. He needs more time to refine his soul and dantian universe. Even if he spends a year or two training in the simtion mode, I doubt he can catch up to those guys.'' An was aware of the yer hunter squadron''s existence. He had met them before as Meowmeow and Leo had suspected. The encounter wasn''t pleasant. Thinking of the men, An''s blood boiled. He suppressed his anger and attempted to calcte the situation logically. ''Those yer hunters can easily disable every system and negate system skills. Leo has integrated some of the system skills, daos, and abilities into his own, but he hasn''t mastered everything yet. If they suddenly take Leo''s system power away, he won''t be weakened. But that domain and his system buildings will disappear, including the lifespan that he stole'' An smacked his lips. Although he wasn''t sure if the yer hunters could erase Leo''s hard-earned lifespan that he had umted, he didn''t want to take risks. He deeply sighed and closed his eyes. He decided to intervene. ''I need to visit that distasteful man again. But first, I should tell Simba and Ester about this.'' An sank his consciousness to his dantian universe. . . A month quickly passed by. In the middle of the night inside the presidential suite room, Leo rxed in the middle of the bed. Cuddling next to him was Esen who slept soundly. Leo stroked Esen''s hair and smiled. The past month''s marriage life had been fulfilling. The rtionship between Leo and Esen improved. She was no longer shy at night. Moreover, she often initiated or proposed a dual cultivation session with Leo. Every time Leo dual-cultivated with Esen, her cultivation base increased. In addition, her clone''s strength in Leo''s simtion mode improved. Because of such boons, Esen was always by his side during daytime and nighttime. Looking at Esen''s sexy body, ample chest, sexy hips, firm perky cake, and wless smooth skin, Leo chuckled. He thought of the day when they first met. "You were so skinny back then. If anyone could time-travel and told me that I would marry you, that me in the past would haveughed his ass out. Who would have thought that the loli corpse would turn into a gorgeous bombshell of an elf?" Suddenly, a cough could be heard in the room. The voice of Ivy interrupted Leo''s thought. "Your Majesty. Her Majesty has be what she is today because of your hard work and care. Without your grooming I mean, your love, she would have stuck being a living corpse. Look at her now. She''s now a happy woman." Leo smacked his lips. This was not the first time that Ivy snuck into their room, so he was used to it. Furthermore, this woman sometimes entered the room while both Leo and Esen were in the middle of a night activity. Although Ivy never intervened or interrupted them, she always gave him the creep. "Yo, peeping tom. Can you mind our privacy? You know, I want to be with my wife alone sometimes." Ivy smiled and refused, "I''m sorry, Your Majesty. Her Majesty is pregnant. I understand that you are mindful of your privacy, but you can be sometimes crude and rough in bed. It is my duty to be vignt of her health and her actions until the delivery." "" Leo didn''t know what to say to this archlich. That wedding night, Leo did it without protection. Because of the white tree god''s blessings, Esen was pregnant. At first, Leo thought of it as a joke. But when Esen told Leo that her egg was fertilized, Leo realized the gravity of the situation. "Fine, you perv. Even if you want to join us, I won''t take you as a concubine." "Don''t worry, Your Majesty. I have a boyfriend." "Oh!" Leoughed. "I didn''t know a lich like you have a sugar daddy. Who is the unfortunate guy?" Ivy widely grinned, "He''s a handsome little boy." Leo was taken aback, "WTF?! Are you grooming a minor?!" "He''s more of an innocent grandpa in a child-like physique, simr to your partner, Your Majesty. If you call me a groomer, you''re no different than me. You groomed a loli. I groomed a shota." "No, listen here, you predator bitch," Leo was dumbfounded, but he wanted to win the argument. "I never did anything to her when she was in the child-like body or when she was still a walking corpse. We started getting more intimated when Esen has an adult-like body." "Hahaha! Your Majesty, everybody knows that it''s an excuse. Don''t worry about it. We don''t me you for your fetish or your kinks. As long as you love our queen, we don''t mind." "But I DO MIND, damn you! I ain''t a pedophile, and I don''t groom minors! Don''t randomly use me!" "Haha, my apologies, Your Majesty. Well, please resume whatever you''re doing. Don''t mind my presence here. Go ahead, continue." "" Leo rolled his eyes and shook his head. He gave up on Ivy. As a month passed, Leo prepared for another journey to the Fate Stadium. He opened the PVP system screen while he put on his clothes. After putting on his casual t-shirt and jeans, Leo reminded Ivy. "I''ll be visiting another for business. Tell Esen that I''ll be away for several days." Ivy raised her eyebrows, "How many days exactly, Your Majesty?" "Probably more than a week. If I''m lucky, I might return within a day." "Is it a dangerous trip? Do you want me to inform the other guardians to tag along with you?" "Nah. I''ll be fine. Be careful about invaders, though. Tell Meowmeow, Kitten, and Lucky that I want them to patrol the star system. If they detect any uninvited visitor from other gxies or dimensions, kill them on sight." Ivy''s expression turned solemn. She bowed 90 degrees, "I understand. Please have a safe trip." "Ah." Leo deeply inhaled and gazed at the real-time PVP screen. . You Are Wanted by Fate Stadium Authority! A warrant has been issued. You have been charged with robbery, and you are expected to surrender to the authority within a month. Failure to do so will result in system canction C Your system perks, such as the Inventory System, Online Shopping System, and Domain System will be terminated. All items and perks acquired by the systems shall be erased. Furthermore, a task force from the Fate Stadium will be deployed to arrest you. In case you surrender to the authority, you may keep the systems and the perks. However, you will be prosecuted ording to the Fate Stadium''s Laws. Current Warrant and Charge: Robbery Surrender Grace Period: 25 Minutes . The red warning screen ovepped with the PVP screen. In addition, the [Surrender] button was highlighted. As Leo hated misunderstanding and corrupted political systems, he decided to confront the Fate Stadium''s officials to clear things up. He pressed the surrender button. As soon as Leo pressed it, he vanished from the presidential suite room. . . DING Leo opened his eyes and found himself inside a transparent coffin. The 50x50cm square ss te under his feet was enough for Leo to stand on, but the 2-meter-high ceiling and the ss wall were ustrophobic inducing. He looked around and saw other ss coffins. Fortunately, the coffin allowed him to stand on his feet, so he could observe everything. Around his ss container, many coffins of a different size contained a hundred humanoid creatures inside. A factory belt gradually moved Leo''s coffin forward until it reached a pushing machine. Leo''s coffin was stopped in front of the pusher, but the machine allowed it to go further. After the first stop came another pushing machine. Again, the belt carried Leo''s coffin deeper, but many other coffins of a bigger size were removed from the factory belt. 30 minutester, Leo''s coffin was the only one on the factory belt. It reached a tform at the end of the line. CLANK The coffin fell on the tform, forcing Leo to lie down. He grumbled and remained prone, gazing at the destination. The tform was illuminated by white light, causing the coffin to float. It slowly moved upward into the void. Finally, Leo looked up and found himself and the ss coffin in the void, floating toward a weird pce situated on a thick white cloud. The coffinnded on the clouds and was stopped by a golden gate. In front of the golden gate was a giant human with a halo and white angelic wings. He carried a golden harpoon in his left hand and a giant thick grimoire in his left hand. His t silver hair, t face, square facial outline, cube-like body, and square limbs made him look like a character from 8-bit games. The Minecraft angel gazed at Leo. He uttered in a deep and loud noise. "Criminal Florida Man! You have been charged with robbery! Will you pledge yourself guilty?!" Leo smacked his lips and muttered, "Please borate before you dere your verdict, sir judge. I don''t even know what I stole." The angel snorted, "You stole FOOD from the Fate Stadium! Do you want me to show you the evidence? Once I show you the evidence, your sentence will be doubled!" "I''d rather see the proof, sir. I don''t like being falsely used. Besides, if I really stole something, I can reimburse the Fate Stadium with something of an equal value." "SILENCE!" "" Leo narrowed his eyes as he didn''t like the barbaric jurisdiction system of this Minecraft-like angel, but he remained quiet. The angel flickered his fingers, and a floating monitor appeared. It showed the event when Leo picked up a bottle of whiskey from the Fate Stadium and vanished. Chapter 298 Florida Man Arrested in Court Following Incident Where His Alligators Ate the Judge

Chapter 298 Florida Man Arrested in Court Following Incident Where His Alligators Ate the Judge

?298 Florida Man Arrested in Court Following Incident Where His Alligators Ate the Judge Chapter 298 C Florida Man Arrested in Court Following Incident Where His Alligators Ate the Judge "Gator Gyatt?" "Gator Gyatt." "GATOR GYATT!" The lizardmen developed their localnguage and civilization. Although their vocabry was limited, everybody understood each other by observing the speaker''s gestures and annotations. Immortal lizardmen gathered and socialized. Unlike selfish cultivators in the universe, none of thempeted for resources or took advantage of the others. Lizardmen worked as one. Strong immortals selflessly imparted their knowledge to youngsters while regr immortals brainstormed and researched the way of daos together. Because of their unity, most lizardmen and immortals had the same set of skills. There were also cons: Their culture made themck imagination and diversity. Thus, their cultivation progress got stuck in the deity realm. Leo''s consciousness arrived at a lizardmen-infested where lizard deities established cultivation schools. He revealed his appearance as a human with four rainbow phoenix wings. That was Leo''s serious form. He also nicknamed it as the ''Second Phase''. When Leo showed up in front of the lizardmen, the locals gazed at Leo in shock and astonishment, yet nobody attempted to challenge or provoke Leo due to their peaceful nature. "Guys! I''m looking for volunteers! No, I''m taking in disciples! Those who are willing toe under my wings will receive my guidance!" The gators were taken aback at first. Fortunately, they understood Leo''s words perfectly. Some of the deities jumped for joy. "GYATT!" (I volunteer!) "GYATT!" (TAKE ME, SIR!) Instantly, 50 deities volunteered. Leo was d that they were cooperative. "Good. But first, I need to test something" Leo proceeded with his n. He drew four souls of the volunteers and attempted to bring them to the real world. . . Leo opened his eyes. It took him less than a second to visit the lizardmen and bring them out. However, as the soulscked a host, they could not manifest in reality. Without hesitation, Leo injected their souls into the gold chains. The new souls were surprised at first. However, the gold chains contained several strong daos, which none of them had learned before. The new knowledge excited the lizardmen. They absorbed the new daos like a sponge and figured out how the chains worked. Five secondster, they mastered how they could manipte and control the chains. Leo was relieved. He whispered to the four souls. "This is your first test. Show your power against those birbs." "GATOR GYATT!" The four souls in the chains shouted in unison and dispersed, charging toward the surrounding angels. The angels also retaliated, sending their golden chains to block the sentient artifacts. A hundred gold chains outnumbered the four gators. 20 of themtched onto the four newbies while 20 angels injected their Qi into their weapons. Leo saw that. He brought out 100 random rocks that he got from the asteroid belt. Flickering them with his fingers, the rocks were shot like bullets. PU PU Exploiting the bullet time sense, Leo turned simple rocks into entity-killing bullets, shattering the heads of the angels one after another until thest man. Their souls escaped from the destroyed flesh and screamed in pain. "W-What!?" The judge couldn''t believe his eyes. His people were known to be the strongest karmic sovereign killers, yet everybody lost instantly. Leo ignored the judge''s reaction. As the angels lost their bodies, the gold chains became ownerless. Leo hummed and collected everything. Then, he repeated what he had done to the four gold chains earlier. More gators from Leo''s dantian universe were summoned and injected into the weapons. The new artifacts became alive and wiggled in joy. However, the gators weren''t satisfied with just the new bodies. They turned their attention to the escaped souls of angels. "GYATT!!" In just one word, all 104 chains chased after the escaped souls. They captured everyone. "NOOOO!!" Returning the favor, the chains absorbed the life force and Qi of the angels and transferred them into the gators. The lizardman deities devoured everything and improved their cultivation base. The deities quickly adapted to the real world''s cultivation method. They started condensing stars in their dantians, creating a lower dimension one their own. As the gators grew stronger, the chains emitted stronger lights. Leo was happy with this experiment. He let the guys celebrate while he approached the judge. With a wiggle of his hand, he pulled the square angel to his palm and choked his neck. After the angel was in his hand, Leo started questioning him. "Let''s restart our conversation. How about something basic to break the ice? Who are you?" The angel growled in anger, "LET ME GO, YOU TRASH! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I AM THE JUDGE OF HEAVENLY FATE STADIUM!" "Good start. How about your name?" Leo shrugged and strengthened his grip. The choke squeezed the angel''s neck so hard that his square eyes were almost ejected from the eye sockets. "L-Let go" The light warning worked like magic. The judge lowered his voice in fear. Leo asked him again, "Don''t test my patient. What''s your name?" "I-I''m Brack of Jade, the Sentinel of Heavenly Fate Stadium" "That''s better. What is the nature of your job?" "A-As I tell you. I''m the sentinel of the stadium. M-My job is irrelevant to you-" Leo inserted his other hand into the angel''s fleshly body. He grabbed a string of karma, "Strike two. One more time, I''ll erase your entity forever." The angel broke a cold sweat. He looked around and found 104 living golden chains circling around him. Seeing no way out, he trembled. "P-Please don''t kill me." "As long as you cooperate." "Y-Yes. Yes. I''ll cooperate." The previous arrogant attitude disappeared like the wind. Brack confessed, "I''m working for a transcendent cultivator by the alias Sieg." "Okay? Who is this ''Sieg''?" "H-He''s the owner of the Fate Stadium. He" Brack suddenly flinched and paused for a long time. His entire body bloated and expanded as if he were hit by Kenshiro''s punches. Two secondster, his body and soul exploded, scattering blood and flesh everywhere. Leo raised his eyebrows and looked at the exploded angel in confusion. Although his bodily cells could mutate and kill living beings, most of the entities were immune to his power. Brack, too, should have been able to resist his ability. Despite the potential immunity, he still died from mutation. ''Was it because of me? Nah, my radiation can''t destroy souls. I need to check'' Doubting Brack''s cause of death, Leo picked up a piece of flesh from the pile. He licked it. There was no taste of radiation or his cancer cells. Instead, it smelled like rotten chicken. ''Yeah. That was not me.'' Confirming that he was not responsible for Brack''s death, Leo recollected the information. First, there was someone behind Brack. Secondly, he was a transcended being, whose cultivation base surpassed the karmic sovereign stage. Also, he had the power to destroy the soul of an entity like Brack. Andstly and theoretically, the mysterious guy by the name ''Sieg'' might be the owner of the Fate Stadium. Leo opened his system menu and checked it. The screens showed up and worked as usual. As the systems functioned once again, Leo stopped worrying about it. He closed the screens and examined his surroundings. The clouds in the void were as bright as usual. However, no beings remained here but Leo. Leo took this opportunity to inspect the seat of Brack and his furniture behind the court stand. Upon reaching his chair, he found a cardboard box of jade slips. Jade slips usually contained messages and thoughts of cultivators who left behind their thoughts. However, this was the first time that Leo encountered one. Curious, Leo picked one up to inspect it. He flipped it around confusedly like a monkey at first. Fortunately, he was smart enough to inject his Qi to inspect it. The jade slip glowed and ejected the hidden voice of the previous owner. Ironically, the ex-owner was Brack. [Lord Sieg, I''ve collected two heavenly fate crystals from yer Xia Wu. His soul has been erased as instructed, sir.] Leo smirked. This was enough proof that Sieg was the mastermind behind the collection of fate crystals. He remembered the name, marking Sieg as his next hit list. ''A transcended being This might be troublesome. In the past, I''ve been fighting karmic sovereigns and entities. My true strength should be around the transcendent stage as well. If I meet that guy, I might be at a disadvantage. I never fought a transcendent before'' For the first time, Leo was intimidated. He wished he had a higher cultivation base than Seig. But then, Leo remembered that his system allowed him to upgrade his cultivation limit or cultivation aptitude. He only needed one karmic fate crystal to do so. Figuring a method to gain an advantage, Leo was determined. His next major project would be treasure hunting. Not wasting time, Leo opened the PVP menu. The screen showed up. Unlike before, the functions were restored, and Leo could join the arena again. Leo smirked and mocked Sieg. "Your systems aren''t that omnipotent, it seems. If you were a proper programmer, this system would have restricted my ess. Now that the system allows me to rejoin the stadium, you''ve lost your initiative!" Leo collected all the golden chains into his storage ring. He boldly pressed a button, challenging the monthly PVP match. . . WHOOSH Leo immediately reappeared in the arena as usual. He stood alone in the stadium this time. "Huh?" "What?" When Leo appeared, the crowd looked confused. They muttered and whispered. "I saw the news. Isn''t Florida Man a wanted man?" "You saw that, too? The news is spreading fast. I thought the yer hunter squadron had been deployed already. How is he still here?" "Maybe, he wants to submit himself to the authority?" "Probably. I think we might see a Death Chess Match here today." Leo silently eavesdropped their conversation. He also recalled the distasteful chess game that he once saw in one of the Fate Stadium''s facilities. WHOOSH While Leo was waiting, a hundred entities teleported to the arena. They were also angels with square physiques. Chapter 299 Florida Man Pranks Call Center Scammer by Redirecting Him to Police Station

?299 Florida Man Pranks Call Center Scammer by Redirecting Him to Police Station Chapter 299 C Florida Man Pranks Call Center Scammer by Redirecting Him to Police Station "Florida Man! There''s a warrant for you. Follow us obediently or lose the qualifications as a yer forever!" The speaking angel''s killing intent and cold eyes fixated on Leo. Leo crossed his arms and scoffed at the angels, "I already did, and that judge by the name ''Brack the Jade'' released me! What''s the point of arresting me again, may I ask?" "Huh?" The angels in the arena knew the name of the judge. They looked at each other in confusion while one of them transmitted his voice to his superior officers. After a few seconds of hesitation and confusion, the angels received a new order from the stadium''s managers. Their expressions turned dark, and their killing intent exploded. "Florida Man, you scoundrel heretic! Lay down your weapon and surrender, then we''ll give you a peaceful death!" Another angel also shouted, "HERETIC! CUT OFF YOUR ARMS AND SURRENDER!" More angels bellowed in unison, "SEAL HIS SYSTEMS! REMOVE HIS SYSTEM POWERS!" Leo narrowed his eyes as he was concerned about their system maniption abilities. Since it was impossible to reason with them, Leo took the initiative by releasing the 104 golden chains. The deity lizardmen''s souls in the chains were ejected from Leo''s storage rings and charged toward every angel in the arena. Half of them bound the agents and started draining their life force. Leo also attempted to move, but his feet were glued to the stage arena. He looked at the ground and smacked his lips. "Annoying restrictions." Unable to move, Leo changed his approach. Again, he opened his system inventory and ejected a thousand small rocks. He flickered small asteroids at the remaining survivors. The remaining angels managed to parry the attacks from Leo''s chains. But the next second, finger-sized rocks beamed toward them at light speed, sting their heads into shattering watermelons. Even the bound agents took the same hit. The souls of the angels escaped the destroyed fleshly bodies. The souls of these entities continued screaming and ordering others. "Why hasn''t his system sealed yet?! Has anybody informed the Lord?!" "MANAGERS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" "CUT HIS SYSTEM ABILITIES ALREADY!" Their loud noise caused amotion in the other arenas. The spectators also stood up and rushed toward the exits as if they were students getting stuck at school during a school shooting massacre. The chains ignored everything and grabbed their souls. The lizardmen gleefully devoured the angels and stole their life force. Leo smiled at the golden chains as he was proud of his creations. Still, killing these annoying pests couldn''t solve the trouble at the moment. His feet were still stuck in the arena. Annoyed by the fate stadium''s power, Leo got serious. He used the previous power that he had shown in the fight against Simba. Four rainbow phoenix wings emerged from his back. His skin radiated in white light while blinding silver light came out from his eyes. In addition, his aura revealed his true cultivation base. Surpassing the karmic sovereign realm was the transcendent realm. At this stage, the minor rank was ssified into levels. DING DING DING The scoreboard of the fate stadium changed as it detected Leo''s true strength. Instead of hiding his information as usual, the scoreboards revealed all of Leo''s personal information. . Name: Leonardo Ariel Title/Alias: Florida Man Race: Chimera Homunculus Age: 50,035 Gender: Male Level / Cultivation Base: Transcendent Level 10 . Leo gazed at his status board and scoffed. He vaguely knew about it as he had learned about the cultivation potential ceiling from the system before. This reminded him of how powerful the systems were. He got frustrated. ''If the systems can discern my cultivation base and upgrade my cultivation potential, won''t Sieg be stronger than I am? This is troublesome.'' Because of frustration, Leo exerted more strength on his legs. He managed to lift his right leg up and stomp the ground. BOOM The entire arena cracked and was broken in half. The supporting structures underneath crumbled. The spreading cracks reached the spectator stands and observer decks. The barrier arrays that had been preventing stray bullets shattered, and the ground sunk. After stomping hard, Leo''s feet were free. He levitated and observed his deeds. RUMBLE The whole arena area turned into ruins. The ceilings shook. Dust scattered everywhere, and the space vacuum underneath the stages sucked some of the debris into the void. The whole Fate Stadium was on the verge of being destroyed! "Erm, whoops?" Leo awkwardly smiled. Destroying the entire Fate Stadium wasn''t his intention. He only wanted to free himself from the predicament. "I guess I have to stop throwing myself into trouble. I''m not that invincible. I have to remind myself that Right. Be humble, Leo. Be humble." He reminded himself and pped his cheeks. Then, he inspected the system menus. All system screens turned red. A huge "ERROR" warning ovepped with the usual menus. Leo had expected this. Thest time when the electricity went down, his system was affected. He believed that his system functions relied on the Fate Stadium''s mysterious power. He didn''t like that. ''What should I do to be the true owner of a system!?'' Leo thought and identally sent his voice transmission to all his four heavenly generals. His question was quickly answered. The voice of An echoed in Leo''s mind. ''Find seven entity fate crystals and turn them into a true entity fate crystal. That way, your systems won''t be affected by the Fate Stadium. If better, you just need to find a karmic fate crystal. Once you do, no one can influence your system powers.'' Leo was overjoyed by the enlightenment. However, at the same time, he doubted how An knew of this. In solemn, Leo asked An in his mind. ''I''m going to be serious this time. I want a serious answer only. Kitten, I heard from Meowmeow that you had a soul. Who are you exactly?'' . . Meanwhile, An had been sitting at a coffee table on a white cloud in space. His expression was pale even though he was a stone golem. In front of him was a colossus being, whose body was asrge as the Milky Way Gxy. The being was an eyeball with eight angelic wings. However, its aura exuded the air of a level 10 transcendent being. The eyeball red at An. He uttered in a deep voice, which sounded like a big man and a hoarse woman spoke in unison. "You know what your son has done, right?" An slowly nodded, "Yes." "He has troubled me greatly. Normally, I would have descended and killed him." An deeply inhaled. He mustered his courage and rebuked, "Your subordinates are the ones provoking my son. Had they never framed him for a petty crime, the entire thing wouldn''t have happened. Also, it was your subordinate who coveted my son''s fate crystals. His actions are justified." The eyeball flickered while his wings flinched. He didn''t utter a word as if he was pondering what to reply. An pushed on, "Senior Sieg. I know that you have been collecting entity fate crystals and you''re on a quest to find the true karmic fate crystal as well. This time, we identally collide because of your greedy underlings. We are willing to let this bygone be bygone as long as you can pull back your yer hunter squads out of our territory. What do you say?" The eyeball ''Sieg'' grimaced. He hated the idea, "Are you taking me for a fool? Why should I reconcile with you when I can even destroy your soul right now?!" An sneered, "My soul is connected to my son''s karma river. If I die, he will know. Do you want to enrage a transcendent being who carries the bloodline of rainbow phoenixes? I''m sure Overlord Prisci won''t be sitting still if she heard about your deed that you''re provoking one of her kin." RUMBLE Sieg was enraged. His eight wings transformed into small tentacles and bound An. Some of the tentacles cut his arms and legs, leaving An limbless. "LISTEN HERE, YOU ELF BRAT! DO YOU THINK A PUNY ENTITY LIKE YOU CAN THREATEN ME? A TRANSCENDENT BEING?! YOU OVERESTIMATE YOUR CAPABILITIES, AND YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR SINS!" An gritted his teeth and bellowed. "Yes, if you consider this talk as a negotiation, I''m not even qualified to have this talk to begin with. But as you can see, I''m the only one in the universe WHO CAN CREATE TRANSCENDENT HOSTS! MY SON IS THE PROOF OF MY CAPABILITIES!" "" Sieg froze. The eyeball floated closer to An to look at his face. He then red into his soul, yet he waited for An to make the offer. An kept pushing on. "Here is the deal. Pull back your troops and promise not to attack or harm us for 10 years. In return, I''ll create a new fleshly body to rece the old one that you lost to Overlord Prisci." Sieg closed his eyes and receded. He fell into a deep thought for several minutes. After thinking things through, Sieg opened his eyes. "Let me confirm this. A 10-year truce in exchange for my new body?" "Yes." "Heheh, what if you rig something that shouldn''t have existed as you did to Mao Miaomiao?" "I''m not that stupid. Mao Miaomiao was a greedy fool, unlike you who always thinks ahead." The eyeball curved up his under eyelid. Heughed, "Indeed, you''re not stupid. You were the one who tricked Eleanor''s downfall. Well, I don''t trust you. I''m going to add a new use to our agreement." "A new condition?" An had a bad feeling about this. "Well, yes. I need to make sure that you will work diligently toplete my new fleshly body. Therefore, I''ll trap your soul in my dantian universe and link your existence to my karma river. Until youplete it, you can''t go anywhere!" An''s expression turned dark again. He clicked his tongue, "No can do. I need the best environment to work. If I leave my son, my existence will fade to nothingness." Siegughed, "As I said, I''m no fool. I read you like a book. Your soul isn''t really tied to your son whatsoever. Instead, you left your true soul with the entity fate crystal in your son''s soul. I just need to take that soul out of your son first." "YOU!!" An bellowed, but Sieg''s tentacles pressed him down to the cloud floor. Siegughed, "Well, let me go find your son. Once we have your soul, we can make a deal. HAHAHAHA!" "BASTARD! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL MY SON?!" "HAHAHA! For the third time, An. I''m no fool! Why should I let your son get stronger when I can kill him now?! There''s no point in allowing another rival to emerge! Also, Prisci and I have been sworn enemies since we were children. What''s the difference between adding another grudge on top of what we already have? And once I''m done with your son, I get you who can work your ass off for me for the rest of eternity! HAHAHAHAHA!" "" An groaned and lowered his head, allowing the eyeball to feel good about himself. The giant eyeball transformed into a small soul and faded. He teleported and rushed toward Leo. After Sieg had left, An was freed from the tentacles. He regenerated his limbs and smirked. Afterward, he whispered. "Did you catch everything?" A secondter, a female voice from a distance echoed in his mind. ''Loud and clear. So, he''s heading to that stupid Fate Stadium, right?'' "Yes, my son should be there at the moment." ''Roger. I''ll go intercept him.'' "Please remember our promises, Lady Prisci." ''Don''t worry. I''m not like that greedy eyeball. I''ll protect you and that boy. He has my bloodline, right?'' "Haha. Yes." ''Although I''ve never had a child, he''s born from my blood. In a way, he''s my child as well. Should I say that I''m his mother?'' "That willplicate things I''m his father, you know. He will think that you and I are married or something." ''Pfft, hahahaha! Yeah, right. Anyway, we talk too much. I''ll go now.'' The secret weapon that An had prepared ''Overlord Prisci'' started to move. As for An, he let out a long sigh of relief. "All ording to Keikaku." A few secondster, Leo''s voice entered An''s mind. His son yelled at him. "What should I do to be the true owner of a system!?" An was speechless for a moment. He then giggled. "Oh, boy. What a needy child. I guess I should give him hints again."

Leoined while hended on the parking lot building''s top floor. Upon arrival, a dozen death knights and liches who were on guard duty on the top floor lowered their heads to Leo. One of them stepped up and ryed a message from Esen. "Your Majesty. Her Majesty has been looking for you. Please visit her at your carriage." Leo wasn''t surprised. After the wedding, Esen got so clingy that she wasparable to the overly attached girlfriend meme in ancient legend, "Okay. Keep up the good work. I''ll go see her now." . Everything proceeded as Leo had imagined: Esen threw a tantrum that Leo didn''t consult with her before he left. It took him a few hours to pacify the angry wife. Like new lovebirds, they attached to each other for the rest of the day. In the deep night, Esen was physically and mentally satisfied with Leo''s love. She fell asleep, allowing Leo to do his things. Leo reopened the system menu and reread his new abilities. After all, there was a lot to digest. . Patch Note C True Entity Fate Crystal 1.0 1.
