One's Own Life, a Big Shot with a Nasty Hobby

After Xiao Hu admitted defeat, the two left the arena.

Lu Yuan was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

"Yuan Ge, you're too strong!"

"Yeah, Yuan Ge! With your strength, I'm afraid only Ming Ge in our martial hall can steadily beat you."

"Hahaha, when Ming Ge comes back and sees Yuan Ge's current strength, he will definitely be shocked!"

"Yuan Ge, when are you going to challenge Ming Ge!"

"Yeah, Yuan Ge, when are you going to challenge Ming Ge?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "My current strength is still far from Ming Ge's, I should cultivate well first."

In fact, Lu Yuan felt that it wouldn't take him too long to surpass Frank Ming.

After all, Frank Ming is just a Gene Warrior who has just broken through to the warrior level.

With Frank Ming's talent, he only broke through now, so the genes engraved during the Apprentice stage should be of ordinary quality.

Such strength is not particularly strong, right?

With the Elite Gene he has engraved now, it shouldn't be too difficult to defeat Frank Ming when the tempering degree is sufficient.

However, Lu Yuan didn't want to show off too much, being just generally strong was enough.

He doesn't have any backers now, and in a dark place like the Slum, being outstanding may not be a good thing.

He must act with the idea of steady development as the center.

After all, I, Lu Yuan, am a steady and low-key man.

A tiger in my heart, sniffing at roses!

Well, as expected of me!

Getting rid of the entanglement of the crowd, Lu Yuan continued to practice Military Body Fist and Military Killing Sword.

Time passed, and by the evening, Frank Ming had not returned.

Lu Yuan left Da Ming Martial Hall.

The Slum at night is much more chaotic than during the day, and there are very few people on the street.

Most of them are people working the night shift.

Walking down a street, Lu Yuan heard intense gunfire coming from an alley not far away.

The surrounding pedestrians quickened their pace and left with their heads down.

Standing on the side of the street, a heavily made-up young lady seemed to be used to it, cursed unluckily, and hurriedly changed places to solicit customers.

Lu Yuan glanced at the direction of the alley, didn't meddle in other people's business, and followed the pedestrians to speed up his pace, leaving this gunfight area.

Returning to the neighborhood in a low-key manner, Lu Yuan saw a familiar figure on the small road of the neighborhood.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and quickened his pace to walk over.

"Qinghe Jie?"

The figure in front turned her head, it was Li Qinghe.

She looked exhausted, with a cigarette in her hand.

Seeing Lu Yuan, she exhaled a puff of smoke, a smile appearing on her tired face:

"Yuan younger brother, why are you still outside so late?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Just came back from Da Ming Martial Hall."

"Hee hee, Yuan younger brother is so hardworking."

"Of course, I have to work hard to improve, to make money, and to leave this Slum."

"Then how is your cultivation going? Didn't you say you entered the Origin Land?"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled:

"I've improved a lot. I gained a lot yesterday when I entered the Origin Land, earning more than ten thousand yuan!"

"Oh? That much?"

Li Qinghe's pupils shrank, revealing a hint of astonishment.

The price of low-level ferocious beast materials is only about one or two hundred, more than ten thousand... Yuan younger brother killed nearly a hundred ferocious beasts?! This kid... I still underestimated him.

Li Qinghe was really a little shocked.

It wasn't because of this harvest.

Li Qinghe had seen many people who had gained more when they first entered the Origin Land.

When she first entered the Origin Land, she almost killed all the Elite ferocious beasts in an area.

But her identity and talent were there, so it couldn't be used as a reference.

Lu Yuan's harvest could be considered a pretty good genius outside.

And most of these people have family support.

Li Qinghe couldn't be more clear about Lu Yuan's family situation. It was not easy to get to this point.

Lu Yuan regarded Li Qinghe as a caring older sister. Seeing Li Qinghe's surprise, he also smiled, feeling a little proud:

"It's a pity that this time the money has to be used to buy some necessities for adventure, and there's very little left. Next time I enter the Origin Land, I will definitely save enough money, and then I will take you away."

Li Qinghe looked at Lu Yuan with a smile:

"I'm very happy that you have this thought, elder sister. Let's talk about it when you have saved enough money."

"By the way, Qinghe Jie, didn't you come back during the day today? Did you just get home now?"

Lu Yuan looked at the exhaustion on Li Qinghe's face and asked.

"Yeah, just got back."

Li Qinghe took a puff of smoke, stretched her graceful figure, and smiled.

"Why are you so late today?"

A strange smile appeared on Li Qinghe's face as she sized up Lu Yuan, her tone ambiguous:

"Someone didn't want to let me sleep, huh?"

"Uh..."

Lu Yuan was momentarily speechless.

He opened his mouth, unable to say much, and could only change the subject:

"It seems like you're already very tired, Qinghe Jie. Let's go back first, and you can get some rest."

Li Qinghe glanced at Lu Yuan, a mischievous smile appearing on her face:

"Hehe, Yuan younger brother, you're already an adult, right? Why are you still so shy? How about I give you a hand? Don't worry, I won't charge you."

Lu Yuan stopped and looked at Li Qinghe seriously:

"Qinghe Jie, you've always been helping me, and I haven't been able to help you with anything. But now I have the ability, and I won't let you do things like this anymore. I will let you have the life of an ordinary girl, with your own job, your own love, and your own life."

Li Qinghe didn't expect Lu Yuan to say this, and she was stunned for a moment.

She sized up the serious Lu Yuan, took a puff of her cigarette, and chuckled:

"Little brother is so sensible? I'm a little touched... Then let's wait a little longer. I have to say goodbye to my clients first, after all, they've taken care of me for more than a year. Without them, I wouldn't be here now."

As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Li Qinghe's eyes.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, wondering if Li Qinghe was talking about Frank Ming and the others?

Actually, after getting to know him, Lu Yuan found that Frank Ming was quite good to his own people.

Qinghe Jie must have received a lot of care. He didn't think too much and nodded:

"Alright then."

"Let's go! Let's go back. I'm a little hungry. Since you made money, aren't you going to treat me to something good?"

"Don't worry, Qinghe Jie, you can have whatever you want."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite! By the way, are you really sure you don't want me to help you enter the adult world?"

"...Qinghe Jie, please don't joke around."

"Hahahaha!"

The two disappeared into the night, laughing and talking.

They went out for supper before returning to their respective rooms.

Li Qinghe returned to her room, lay on the bed, and looked at the white ceiling, her eyes slightly narrowed.

After a moment, she curled her lips into a smile:

"...That brat, if he saw my true face, I don't believe he would refuse, hmph!"

Then, the smile on her face faded:

"That thing has started again... But with me here, you won't escape."

Lu Yuan returned to his room, turned on his old computer, logged into Battle Net, and checked the forums as usual.

This was a habit Lu Yuan had developed in the past few days.

Many of the posts on Battle Net were very helpful to him.

Unfortunately, some required payment, and others required a certain Battle Net level.

This deprived Lu Yuan of the joy of getting things for free.

Fortunately, the titles of those posts that required money and levels weren't things Lu Yuan needed much right now.

If he couldn't get things for free in the future, so be it. He would have money eventually!

Lu Yuan browsed the forum and quickly saw a post.

Humanity Distorted! Someone is Doing This Kind of Thing in Graystone Forest!

Graystone Forest?

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. Wasn't that where he was now?

What happened?

Lu Yuan curiously clicked on the post.

"Today, I want to tell everyone about something infuriating!"

"Here's what happened. My team and I were hunting Graystone Beetles in Graystone Forest when we discovered a place with a very strong light. With the thought of finding treasure, we went to check it out. As a result, we saw two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles that had gone mad! Those two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, I don't know what happened to them, attacked us like crazy when they saw us. There were also teams of Elves and Kobolds with us at the time. The three teams of us spent a great deal of effort to kill those two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, and I even lost two companions because of it!"

"This isn't the most infuriating thing. The most infuriating thing is that we discovered that the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles were originally guarding a wooden treasure chest. When we found the wooden treasure chest, it was already empty! Someone must have taken the treasure chest in advance and left those two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles behind specifically to screw over those of us who came later!"

"I just want to ask here, does the person who did this have a heart?! How malicious! Humanity is distorted! Morality has been lost! Everyone on the forum, please judge!"

Lu Yuan: "..."

After he finished reading the post, his expression was a little strange.

Firelight, two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, and an opened wooden treasure chest.

How did this feel so familiar?

Could it be the treasure chest he opened before?

He suddenly felt terrible.

He was so damn wronged, okay?!

If he could kill those two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, would he have left them to screw people over?

He would have definitely hunted them, and maybe he could have obtained a war soul.

Obviously, he left them because he couldn't kill them, okay?

He didn't expect to be accused of having a distorted humanity, lost morality, and no heart.

Lu Yuan instantly felt depressed.

There were still hundreds of replies under this post, and Lu Yuan clicked to read the comments.

"Wow, that person is really black-hearted. Doesn't seem like a good person."

"Heh... the poster is really weak. Black-Striped Graystone Beetles are trash-tier ferocious beasts, aren't they easy to kill? The poster's three teams besieged two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles and people still died, that's really laughable."

"You can't say that, upstairs. Who doesn't start weak and gradually become stronger? Black-Striped Graystone Beetles are still newbie killers, after all."

"However, someone who can open a wooden treasure chest and leave behind a guarding ferocious beast should be a big shot, right? Otherwise, how could they open the treasure chest while the guarding ferocious beast is still alive?"

"I also think it's a big shot. Are all the big shots so twisted these days? Specially tricking newbies for fun?"

"..."

Lu Yuan read some of the posts and immediately found it amusing.

These people have quite the discerning eyes, huh?

They actually know that I, Lu, am a big shot.

Lu Yuan's mood instantly recovered.

He closed the post and looked at other posts.

After reading for a while, Lu Yuan closed the website.

His mind merged into the Gene Battle Tattoo.

Instantly, in the white mist of his consciousness, the light gate emerged.

The light gate was somewhat dim, which was due to the mental energy Lu Yuan had consumed entering the Origin Land.

However, this dimness was rapidly recovering, and he would be able to enter the Origin Land again soon.

It's good to come out alive, but if you die, your mental state is damaged, and it's even harder to recover. The time it takes to enter the Origin Land again is much longer than if you come out alive.

Lu Yuan waited for a few minutes, the light gate fully recovered, and Lu Yuan entered the Origin Land again.
