Chapter 2

Jiang Fu was awakened by a burst of commotion.

The moment he opened his eyes,

he tried hard to make out what the noise outside the door was about.

But unfortunately,

his body was now weakened to the extreme.

Even his five senses seemed to have deteriorated.

He could hear the voices, but not the words clearly.

Could it be that cheap Aunt causing trouble again?

Jiang Fu slightly raised his eyes.

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 stacked)

Limited ability uses: Positive infinity

Jiang Fu froze.

"Only seven days of lifespan left... Did I sleep for three days?"

If it had been before,

he would have wished for himself to die sooner.

The sooner he died, the sooner he could reincarnate.

But now,

Jiang Fu possessed the ability to multiply by ten infinitely, which meant infinite possibilities.

And during his coma,

Jiang Fu had more or less absorbed the original owner's memories.

He now understood what kind of world he was in.

This world

had undergone a Spiritual Energy Revival, with creatures mutating and monsters invading.

Humans, meanwhile, cultivated to become Martial Artists and gain combat power.

They fought mutated creatures and invading monsters.

The original owner had been a Martial Artist.

And he had been an eighteen-year-old Martial Artist at that.

A few days ago,

the original owner had gone into the Wilderness alone

to pick a Spiritual Fruit for his cousin.

As a result, he had been surrounded and attacked by unknown creatures.

By the time he was rescued, he had nearly lost his life...

No, he had already lost it.

Only after Jiang Fu transmigrated had that final breath barely been sustained.

But now,

Jiang Fu would not last much longer either.

He could only cling to life for another seven days.

But in the original owner's memories, Jiang Fu had seen many things.

Miraculous Spiritual Fruits with all kinds of abilities, along with potions that could extend one's lifespan and strengthen one's body...

Jiang Fu licked his lips.

"My Multiply by Ten ability has been restricted by that damn system, so I can't stack the multiplications."

"Still, the bigger the base number, the greater the gains..."

One multiplied by ten was only ten.

Two multiplied by ten was twenty.

One hundred multiplied by ten was one thousand.

What Jiang Fu needed to do now was build up his foundation.

Before that, he could use Multiply by Ten temporarily.

"Lifespan multiplied by ten, duration: three days!"

As soon as he spoke,

the lifespan field on the system panel

changed from seven days to seventy days in an instant.

"Temporarily dead... Hm? No, that's not right..."

The next moment,

Jiang Fu's expression stiffened.

His lifespan had been multiplied by ten.

Yet his body remained incomparably weak.

Other than being able to turn his neck slightly, he still could not move any other part of his body.

"It's not a lifespan problem."

"It's... Blood Energy!"

Seeing that his Blood Energy had fallen to only "5,"

Jiang Fu immediately understood.

In this world,

a healthy adult's Blood Energy was around fifty to seventy.

Above seventy made one a Quasi-Martial Artist.

Once Blood Energy broke through one hundred, one became a Martial Artist.

And a Blood Energy value of five...

was not much different from being dead.

"Blood Energy multiplied by ten, duration: three days!"

The next moment,

Jiang Fu's Blood Energy instantly rose from five to fifty.

A Blood Energy value of fifty

was that of a normal, healthy adult!

In an instant,

a long-lost sense of familiarity spread through his entire body.

Jiang Fu cautiously raised his hand.

"I... I can really move!"

Jiang Fu stared blankly at the arm he had raised.

An IV drip supplying nutrients was still connected to it.

Just as Jiang Fu was spacing out,

Bang!

The ward door was suddenly shoved open with force.

A shrill female voice crashed harshly into Jiang Fu's ears.

"Jiang Fu! You're already eighteen!"

"You have nothing to do with our family anymore!"

"Don't come asking me for hospitalization or medical fees either! I have no obligation to give you money!"

Ge Yanxia waddled into the ward on two thick, short legs.

Following behind her

were a nurse and a weathered middle-aged man with clouded eyes.

Jiang Fu looked at the plump 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 years old, they had both died fighting in the Wilderness.

The original owner had then been taken in by his Uncle Guo Fangdong and Aunt Ge Yanxia.

But this couple was far from kind.

They had only adopted the original owner for one reason.

To inherit the assets and compensation left behind by his parents.

The original owner had grown up under Ge Yanxia and Guo Fangdong's constant manipulation, beatings, and scoldings.

Moreover,

after receiving that substantial inheritance and compensation,

the Guo Family had become a well-known nouveau riche family in District Nine.

Yet the original owner lived in the Maid's Room.

Every day, the moment he opened his eyes, there was endless work waiting for him.

...Even the Guo Family's residence had originally belonged to the original owner's family!

If not for the Martial Artist Guild's mandatory regulations,

the original owner would not even have had the chance to attend school.

Yet even in such an environment,

the original owner had still relied on the powerful genes left behind by his parents

to break through one hundred Blood Energy at eighteen and become a Martial Artist.

This time, the original owner had entered the Wilderness alone

to pick a Spiritual Fruit called the Mist Ripple Fruit for Guo Xiaofeng.

It was meant to replenish his Blood Energy.

When the nurse saw Jiang Fu's raised arm, her eyes immediately lit up.

She hurried forward to inspect the equipment in the ward.

"A miracle! It's simply a miracle!"

"The patient's Blood Energy has recovered... and reached fifty!"

As she spoke,

the nurse hurriedly pressed the call button by the bed.

The weathered middle-aged man's clouded eyes immediately brightened at her words.

He staggered forward, his face filled with excitement.

"Your Blood Energy recovered!?"

Jiang Fu looked at the old man's face and slightly opened his mouth. "Teacher..."

This middle-aged man

was Jiang Fu's homeroom teacher, Xu Chi.

Xu Chi looked at Jiang Fu and said repeatedly, "It's good that it recovered, it's good that it recovered..."

At the side, Ge Yanxia grabbed the nurse who was examining Jiang Fu.

Her voice trembled as she said, "Wasn't his Blood Energy scattered? How could it have recovered?!"

The nurse patiently explained, "We'll need to conduct examinations before drawing a conclusion."

"But the patient's Blood Energy value is indeed fifty!"

Ge Yanxia frowned tightly.

Suddenly,

she seemed to realize something and immediately roared at Jiang Fu, "You ungrateful bastard, you actually stole Xiao Feng's Mist Ripple Fruit for yourself!"

"A Tier 1 Mist Ripple Fruit is worth one million!"

"If this ungrateful bastard can't pay it back, then you'll compensate us!"

Ge Yanxia turned her attack toward Xu Chi.

This time,

Jiang Fu had been transferred from the Morgue to the VIP Ward.

And the medical and hospitalization fees during this period

had all been paid in advance by Xu Chi.

Xu Chi's heart filled with anger when he heard this. "Ge Yanxia, don't go too far!"

"That Mist Ripple Fruit was picked by Jiang Fu in the first place. Since when did it become yours?"

Xu Chi also believed that Jiang Fu had recovered his Blood Energy by eating the Mist Ripple Fruit.

Because there was no other explanation.

Mist Ripple Fruit.

A Tier 1 Spiritual Fruit.

Consumption effect: permanently increased Blood Energy.

Ge Yanxia snorted. "I don't care!"

"Putting the facts aside, does that ungrateful wretch bear no fault at all? He already agreed to give the Mist Ripple Fruit to my Xiao Feng!"

"Now that he's eaten Xiao Feng's Mist Ripple Fruit, he has to pay up!"

"You're his homeroom teacher, so you'll pay the money!"

"One million. Not a cent less!"

Ge Yanxia's voice was shrill and piercing.

Jiang Fu turned his head.

He stared at the short, fat, bloated woman.

In a soft mutter that only he could hear, he said,

"Blood Pressure, Multiply by Ten."

"Blood Lipids, Multiply by Ten."

"Blood Sugar, Multiply by Ten."
