004
In his previous life.
Jiang Fu had been bedridden for three years.
And now, his mind held two additional memories of death.
It was inevitable that his mentality had grown somewhat dark.
In this life.
Jiang Fu had finally become a normal person who could move.
He would never allow anyone to threaten his life.
The original owner's Blood Energy had only just reached one hundred, crossing the threshold into becoming a Martial Artist.
Yet Ge Yanxia had manipulated him into entering the Wilderness alone to pick Spiritual Fruit.
That was practically murder.
Now.
The original owner was dead, and he had taken his place.
Ge Yanxia and Guo Fangdong.
Would definitely try to eliminate the roots of the problem.
...Then he had to eliminate them first.
The young nurse had no idea what Jiang Fu was thinking.
Her face was full of confusion and incomprehension.
Muttering to herself, she repeatedly used various instruments to examine Jiang Fu from head to toe.
But she was not a doctor, after all.
Though she could read the data on the instruments, she could not figure out what exactly had happened to Jiang Fu.
"Nurse Sister, aside from Spiritual Fruit, is there anything else that can quickly restore my Blood Energy?"
Jiang Fu suddenly looked at the nurse and asked.
The nurse put away the instrument in her hand.
Then she said, "Vitality Pills."
"I don't know what exactly happened to your body, but Vitality Pills can help regulate your condition and restore your Blood Energy."
"But a single Vitality Pill costs three hundred thousand."
"If your Uncle and Aunt are willing to pay, then there won't be a problem."
As for Xu Chi...
He had drained his entire savings just to save Jiang Fu.
The nurse did not think that honest, ordinary high school teacher.
Could still come up with that much money.
Jiang Fu lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Vitality Pills.
Three hundred thousand.
Even in his previous life, that was an astronomical sum to Jiang Fu.
"But now that I have the ability to Multiply by Ten, there should be some hope of earning three hundred thousand..."
Seeing Jiang Fu's expression.
The nurse said in a half-joking tone, "Of course, there's one other thing."
"Abyss Fruit."
"If you're lucky enough to obtain an Abyss Fruit."
"Then get unbelievably lucky again, awaken a Sequence after eating it, and become a Sequence Martial Artist."
"At that point, whether it's Vitality Pills or Mist Ripple Fruit, people will be lining up to stuff them into your hands."
Jiang Fu tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Yet a trace of longing flashed through his eyes.
Of course he knew what the nurse meant.
Sequence Martial Artists!
If Martial Artists were the upper class of this world, enjoying special privileges.
Then Sequence Martial Artists stood above even them.
The only way to awaken a Sequence was to consume an Abyss Fruit.
Public records showed.
Abyss Fruit had no market price.
No one knew where such things came from.
There was no method for obtaining an Abyss Fruit either...
It all came down to luck.
Of course, Martial Artists had a far greater chance of obtaining Abyss Fruit than ordinary people.
Because most Abyss Fruit appeared in the Wilderness.
However.
Even after eating an Abyss Fruit, one might not necessarily awaken a Sequence.
The odds were roughly one in ten thousand.
...Though that was somewhat higher than winning the lottery.
Still.
Whether ordinary people or Martial Artists.
Everyone only had one chance in their lifetime to eat an Abyss Fruit and awaken a Sequence.
Success meant becoming someone above others.
Failure meant never having another chance to awaken a Sequence in this lifetime.
The result of forcibly eating a second Abyss Fruit was only one thing.
Death by explosion.
At that moment.
Hearing the nurse's half-joking words, Jiang Fu could not help feeling his heart race.
"What if I Multiply my luck by Ten, then Multiply by Ten the odds of me obtaining an Abyss Fruit, then Multiply by Ten the odds that an Abyss Fruit is found by me..."
"With three rounds of Multiply by Ten, my chances of obtaining an Abyss Fruit will be much greater than anyone else's."
"And as long as I get one Abyss Fruit, multiplying it by ten will give me ten of them!"
"Then I can Multiply by Ten the odds of an Abyss Fruit awakening a Sequence, then Multiply by Ten my own odds of awakening a Sequence... and Multiply by Ten my chances to awaken a Sequence..."
"And the luck I multiplied by ten earlier!"
"Rounding it off, I'm guaranteed to awaken a Sequence and become a Sequence Martial Artist."
At that thought.
Jiang Fu's heart began pounding uncontrollably.
His face flushed as well.
Thanks for the reminder, Nurse Sister.
He just did not know whether luck and probability could be Multiplied by Ten.
He would try it after heading out later.
Seeing Jiang Fu suddenly become excited, the nurse asked in astonishment, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Fu subconsciously said, "I was thinking about what life would be like after becoming a Sequence Martial Artist..."
The nurse nodded. "I fantasize about that often too."
"I imagine going outside one day and suddenly getting hit by an Abyss Fruit falling from the sky, then becoming a Sequence Martial Artist overnight. I think about how I'd live, and how I'd get revenge on the head nurse who's always bullied me..."
At that point, she suddenly stopped talking.
Jiang Fu: "..."
That mindset felt rather familiar.
In his previous life.
Plenty of people bought lottery tickets and then fantasized about life after becoming rich overnight.
It was exactly the same.
The nurse looked a little embarrassed. "Um, our head nurse treats me very well. I was just talking nonsense. You can't go spreading that around."
Jiang Fu said innocently, "What did you say just now? I was still immersed in the wonderful life I'd have after becoming a Sequence Martial Artist. I didn't hear anything."
"Oh, right. Can I go out for a walk?"
Jiang Fu looked at the nurse and asked expectantly.
The nurse gave Jiang Fu a very understanding look. "You can."
"But your condition is still unstable. It's best to stay in bed to prevent any accidents."
Jiang Fu gave a vague response.
His eyes were filled with longing.
"Get some proper rest. If you need anything, just press the call button."
After the nurse left.
Jiang Fu took a deep breath, slowly sat up, and carefully placed his feet on the floor.
Then he pushed himself up and stood.
In an instant.
A familiar yet unfamiliar sensation washed over his mind.
Jiang Fu felt as though a faint electric current ran through his body.
A tingling numbness spread from head to toe.
"I... I really stood up."
Jiang Fu tried taking a step with his left foot.
Nothing unexpected happened.
Nor did he feel the unsteadiness he had imagined.
He firmly took his first step.
Supporting himself against the bed with one hand, Jiang Fu took a second step toward the foot of the bed.
A third step.
A fourth step...
Finally.
Jiang Fu let go of the bed.
His legs stood firmly on the ground.
He walked forward step by step.
"Finally, I can finally walk again..."
At that moment.
Jiang Fu felt an urge to burst into tears.
The VIP Ward was spacious.
He paced back and forth through the room.
"Mm... I can walk and move now."
"But my body still feels strangely weak."
"Right, I can't exert any strength."
Jiang Fu frowned and pondered for a long while.
Then he spoke softly.
"Multiply Constitution by Ten, for three days."
The next moment.
That sense of weakness completely vanished.
A powerful feeling of strength filled his body.
He looked at the system panel again.
Name: Jiang Fu Gender: Male Age: 18 Level: 0 Qi-Blood Value: 70 Spirit Power: 100 Lifespan: 200 days Ability: Multiply by Ten (cannot be stacked) Ability usage limit: Positive infinity
"Multiplying my Constitution by Ten only increased my Qi-Blood Value by twenty points."
"My lifespan increased by a hundred days."
Jiang Fu's brow furrowed tightly.
"Looks like having my Blood Energy scattered was a very serious injury..."
"Self-healing Ability, Multiply by Ten! Duration: three days."
As soon as he spoke, nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
The values on the system panel did not change at all.
Jiang Fu immediately understood.
His body had lost its ability to heal itself.
"Looks like injuries like this need a Vitality Pill or Spiritual Fruit to heal."
"Three hundred thousand..."
"Hmm?"
"Spirit Power?"
Suddenly, Jiang Fu noticed it.
There was now a Spirit Power stat on his status panel.
