002
Jiang Fu was awakened by a burst of noisy voices.
The moment he opened his eyes,
he tried to listen carefully to what was causing the commotion outside.
But unfortunately,
his body was already weak to the extreme.
All five senses seemed to have deteriorated.
He could hear voices, but not make out what they were saying.
"Could it be that cheap aunt of mine causing trouble again?"
Jiang Fu raised his eyes slightly.
He looked at the light screen floating before him.
[Name: Jiang Fu] [Gender: Male] [Age: 18] [Level: 0] [Qi-Blood Value: 5] [Lifespan: 7 days] [Ability: Multiply by Ten (cannot be used cumulatively)] [Ability Usage Limit: Infinite]
Jiang Fu froze.
"I have only seven days left to live... Did I sleep for three days?"
If this had happened before,
he would have wished for nothing more than to die as soon as possible.
The sooner he died, the sooner he could be reincarnated.
But now,
Jiang Fu possessed the ability to Multiply by Ten infinitely, giving him infinite possibilities.
During the time he had been unconscious,
Jiang Fu had more or less digested the original owner's memories.
He now knew what kind of world he was living in.
This world
had experienced Spiritual Energy Revival, causing biological mutations and monster invasions.
Humanity, meanwhile, became Martial Artists through cultivation and gained combat power.
They fought mutated creatures and invading monsters.
The original owner was a Martial Artist.
And he was an eighteen-year-old Martial Artist at that.
Several days earlier,
the original owner had gone to pick a Spiritual Fruit for his Younger Cousin.
He had gone into the wilderness alone.
As a result, he was besieged by unknown creatures.
By the time he was rescued, he had been practically dead...
No, he had already died.
Jiang Fu's arrival had barely kept his last breath from fading.
But now,
Jiang Fu could not hold on for long either.
He could only cling to life for another seven days.
Yet in the original owner's memories, Jiang Fu had seen many things.
Spiritual Fruits with all kinds of miraculous abilities, as well as potions that could extend one's lifespan and strengthen the body...
Jiang Fu licked the corner of his lips.
"My Multiply by Ten ability has been restricted by this damn system. It can't be stacked."
"However, the larger the base number multiplied by ten, the greater the gains..."
One multiplied by ten only gave ten.
Two multiplied by ten gave twenty.
One hundred multiplied by ten gave one thousand.
What Jiang Fu had to do now was expand his foundation.
Before that, he could Multiply by Ten temporarily.
"Lifespan Multiply by Ten, duration three days!"
As soon as he spoke,
the system panel
displayed the column for lifespan.
His original lifespan of seven days instantly became seventy days.
"I won't die for now... Hmm? No, that's not right..."
The next moment,
Jiang Fu's expression stiffened.
His lifespan had multiplied by ten.
But his body was still incredibly weak.
Aside from being able to turn his neck slightly, he still could not move any other part of his body.
"It isn't a problem with my lifespan."
"It's my... blood energy!"
When he saw that his Qi-Blood Value was only '5',
Jiang Fu immediately understood.
In this world,
a healthy adult had a Qi-Blood Value of roughly fifty to seventy.
Anyone above seventy was a Quasi-Martial Artist.
Once their Qi-Blood Value surpassed one hundred, they became a Martial Artist.
As for a Qi-Blood Value of five...
That was practically no different from being dead.
"Qi and Blood Multiply by Ten, duration three days!"
The next moment,
Jiang Fu's Qi-Blood Value instantly rose from five to fifty.
A Qi-Blood Value of fifty
was the level of a normal, healthy adult!
In an instant,
a familiar sensation he had not felt in a long time spread throughout his body.
Jiang Fu carefully raised his hand.
"I... I can really move!"
Jiang Fu stared blankly at the arm he had raised.
An IV needle supplying him with nutrients was still attached to his arm.
While Jiang Fu was still in a daze,
bang!
The hospital room door was suddenly shoved open with tremendous force.
Along with a shrill female voice, it crashed violently into Jiang Fu's ears.
"Jiang Fu! You're already eighteen years old!"
"You have absolutely nothing to do with our family anymore!"
"And don't come asking me for your hospital and medical expenses! I have no obligation to give you money!"
Ge Yanxia entered the hospital room on two thick, short legs.
Following behind her
were a nurse and a middle-aged man with a weathered face and somewhat cloudy eyes.
Jiang Fu looked at the obese woman in the black dress, disgust flashing through his eyes.
The original owner's Parents had both been Martial Artists.
But when he was six, they had died together in battle in the wilderness.
The original owner was then taken home and adopted by his uncle, Guo Fangdong, and aunt, Ge Yanxia.
But this couple were not good people.
They had only one purpose in adopting the original owner:
to inherit the estate and compensation money left behind by his Parents.
The original owner had grown up amid all kinds of psychological manipulation, beatings, and scolding from Ge Yanxia and Guo Fangdong.
Furthermore,
after obtaining that hefty inheritance and compensation,
the Guo Family had become famous nouveau riche in District Nine.
Yet the original owner lived in the family's maid's room.
Every day, the moment he opened his eyes, there was endless work waiting for him.
...Even the Guo Family's residence was still the original owner's family property!
If not for the Martial Artist Guild's strict regulations,
the original owner would not even have had the chance to attend school.
But even in such an environment,
the original owner had still relied on the powerful genes left by his Parents.
At eighteen, his Qi-Blood Value had surpassed one hundred, making him a Martial Artist.
This time, the original owner had entered the wilderness alone.
His purpose was to gather a Spiritual Fruit called the Mist Ripple Fruit for Guo Xiaofeng.
It was meant to replenish Guo Xiaofeng's blood energy.
When the nurse saw Jiang Fu raise his arm, her eyes immediately lit up.
She hurried over to inspect the instruments in the hospital room.
"A miracle! This is simply a miracle!"
"The patient's blood energy has recovered... and reached fifty!"
As she spoke,
the nurse hurriedly pressed the call button beside the bed.
When the weathered middle-aged man heard this, his cloudy eyes immediately brightened.
He staggered forward, his face filled with excitement.
"Your blood energy has recovered!?"
Jiang Fu looked at the old man's face and parted his lips slightly. "Teacher..."
This middle-aged man
was none other than Jiang Fu's homeroom teacher, Xu Chi.
Xu Chi looked at Jiang Fu and repeated, "It's good that you recovered. It's good that you recovered..."
Beside them, Ge Yanxia grabbed the nurse who was examining Jiang Fu.
In a trembling voice, she said, "Wasn't his blood energy shattered? How could it have recovered?!"
The nurse patiently explained, "We'll only be able to reach a conclusion after examining him."
"But the patient's Qi-Blood Value is indeed fifty!"
Ge Yanxia's brows knitted tightly.
Suddenly,
she seemed to realize something and shouted furiously at Jiang Fu, "You ungrateful wretch! You actually kept Xiao Feng's Mist Ripple Fruit for yourself!"
"One Tier 1 Mist Ripple Fruit is worth one million!"
"If this ungrateful wretch can't produce it, you'll pay the money back!"
Ge Yanxia turned her accusations toward Xu Chi.
This time,
Jiang Fu had been transferred from the morgue to the VIP Ward.
His medical and hospitalization expenses during this period
had all been advanced by Xu Chi.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chi was furious. "Ge Yanxia, don't go too far!"
"That Mist Ripple Fruit was picked by Jiang Fu in the first place. How did it become yours?"
Xu Chi also believed that Jiang Fu had recovered his blood energy by eating the Mist Ripple Fruit.
Because aside from this, there was no other explanation.
Mist Ripple Fruit.
Tier 1 Spiritual Fruit.
Consumption effect, permanently increase Blood Energy.
Ge Yanxia snorted. "I don't care!"
"Leaving the facts aside, isn't this ungrateful wretch in the wrong? He already promised to give the Mist Ripple Fruit to our Xiao Feng!"
"Now that he's eaten Xiao Feng's Mist Ripple Fruit, he has to pay compensation!"
"You're his homeroom teacher, so you'll pay this money!"
"One million, not a single cent less!"
Ge Yanxia's voice was shrill and extremely piercing.
Jiang Fu turned his head to the side.
He stared at this short, fat, and bloated woman.
He softly muttered in a voice only he himself could hear.
"Blood pressure, multiply by ten."
"Blood lipids, multiply by ten."
"Blood sugar, multiply by ten."
