007
In his memories.
Jiang Fu lived at No. 666, Blue Shore Manor Residential Area, in the center of District Nine.
It was not far from District 9 People's Hospital.
At Jiang Fu's current pace, he could get there in about half an hour.
If he used Speed multiplied by ten, he would arrive even faster.
But after leaving the hospital grounds, Jiang Fu slowed down.
Along the way, he wholeheartedly enjoyed the happiness of walking on his own two legs.
At the same time, he observed this city, this world.
It was very similar to the cities of his previous life.
Tall buildings stood everywhere, and traffic streamed through the streets.
But the difference was.
Colorful bands of light like auroras floated above the city.
Even beneath the noon sun.
They stood out with exceptional clarity.
This was the city's Air Defense Belt.
It was used to intercept flying Mutated Beasts or Realm Beasts invading the city from the sky.
Spiritual Energy Revival, biological mutations, monster invasions.
A hundred years had passed since then.
Humanity had reestablished order atop the ruins of the previous civilization.
To Jiang Fu.
This place was more like a parallel world.
Setting aside Spiritual Energy Revival.
This world's civilization, culture, and customs.
Were largely similar to those of Earth in his previous life.
Even in certain aspects of history, there were many similarities.
Jiang Fu stopped and started along the way.
It took him more than an hour to reach Blue Shore Manor Residential Area.
He stopped before the gate of a three-story detached Villa.
The Villa had been left behind by the original owner's parents.
It had always been under the original owner's name—or rather, Jiang Fu's name now.
Guo Fangdong's family of three had moved in under the pretense of taking care of Jiang Fu.
They had lived there for twelve years.
At this moment, the courtyard gate was tightly shut and already locked.
There were no maids or servants in the house either.
The housework belonged to Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu patted himself down again and confirmed that he did not have the house keys.
He looked at the shut courtyard gate.
His Spirit Power stirred slightly.
Click!
The lock instantly opened.
"Looks like my Spirit Power level isn't weak."
"I can control an elevator door to clamp Guo Xiaofeng's head, and I can open this kind of high-end lock too."
Jiang Fu pushed open the gate and stepped into the courtyard.
Using the same method, he unlocked the Villa's front door as well.
Jiang Fu's room was the Maid's Room at the bend of the first-floor staircase... or perhaps calling it a storage room would be more appropriate.
The room was tiny.
There was only a bed and a bedside table inside.
Jiang Fu released his Spirit Power.
Inch by inch, he explored everything inside the Villa.
Just as he had expected.
There was nothing valuable in the house.
There were not even the slightest cultivation resources.
Clearly.
The assets and resources left by his parents.
Had either been squandered by that family of three or moved elsewhere.
Jiang Fu first rubbed his empty stomach.
He had walked for an hour.
The appetite Guo Xiaofeng had disgusted out of him earlier was just about to return!
"Business first!"
With that thought.
He followed the stairs to the third floor and stopped outside Guo Xiaofeng's room.
His target was the computer inside.
This had originally been Jiang Fu's room.
After Guo Fangdong's family of three moved in, Guo Xiaofeng had taken it over.
Jiang Fu pushed open the door.
Then...
"Bleurgh—"
A strange stench hit him head-on.
Jiang Fu stumbled several steps back.
He braced one hand against the wall and dry-heaved for a long while before recovering.
"Fuck! I should've eaten first if I'd known!"
Jiang Fu's face was flushed red from holding it in.
At that moment, the hunger he had just begun to feel vanished once more.
He was so disgusted that he could not eat anything at all.
The room before him was dim.
The curtains were drawn.
Yet Jiang Fu could still clearly see what it looked like inside...
The entire room was a complete mess.
It looked like a garbage processing station.
The floor was piled with all kinds of clutter, empty liquor bottles, takeout containers that had been emptied or only half-eaten, and...
Used. Tissues. Everywhere.
...During the days Jiang Fu had been hospitalized.
No one had come to clean Guo Xiaofeng's room.
This once-luxurious room had turned directly into a garbage dump.
Looking at the tissues on the floor.
Jiang Fu's face twitched violently.
"No wonder Guo Xiaofeng had all those resources dumped on him, yet still took until eighteen to become a Martial Artist..."
"Come to think of it, after I gave him that Multiply by Ten, can he even keep up?"
Wearing a disgusted expression, Jiang Fu backed away several more steps.
Only then did he use his Spirit Power to pull open the curtains and open the window.
Letting the air circulate.
The foul odor in the room slowly dispersed.
"Forget it. Spirit Power works just as well."
Jiang Fu did not have a cleanliness obsession.
But he did not want to go anywhere near that terrifying room.
His Spirit Power had already locked onto the only relatively clean computer in the room.
"Good thing the computer wasn't off, or this would've been troublesome too."
Jiang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
He could not possibly guess Guo Xiaofeng's startup password.
His Spirit Power controlled the mouse and keyboard.
The computer monitor lit up.
What entered his sight was a familiar figure.
Jiang Fu was completely dumbfounded.
"Fuck! Isn't that Han Ruobing, the original owner's goddess and Class Beauty?"
In the frozen image, the young girl looked charming and alluring. She wore daringly scant clothing that was almost nonexistent and posed provocatively.
She did not look like a student in the slightest.
Jiang Fu was in Class 14 of Bincheng Ninth Middle School's third year.
Han Ruobing was the Class Beauty of Class 14, third year, and even a strong contender for school beauty.
Jiang Fu scratched his head.
"I... no, not me—the original owner! He was Han Ruobing's simp."
"Only after becoming a Martial Artist did Han Ruobing agree to be with the original owner..."
Jiang Fu frowned tightly.
The original owner was not stupid, but he was somewhat love-brained.
Originally, Ge Yanxia had manipulated the original owner into going to the Wilderness Area to pick Mist Ripple Fruit for Guo Xiaofeng.
The original owner had not been very willing.
But soon after.
Han Ruobing made the same request, asking the original owner to enter the Wilderness Area and pick Spiritual Fruit for her.
Overcome by his love-brained obsession, the original owner had left the city and entered the Wilderness Area regardless of everything.
And then there was no afterward.
Now.
Jiang Fu looked at the video before him.
"So those two had gotten together long ago..."
"The original owner really was a huge sucker, getting played by these people like a fool."
"I'll settle this debt later... Business first."
Jiang Fu tugged at the corner of his mouth.
None of that was important.
His most urgent task now was to make money and stay alive!
Jiang Fu closed the video and opened a browser.
He began searching online for information related to Spirit Power.
Jiang Fu had already decided to hunt small Mutated Beasts in the Wilderness Area.
That was the fastest way to make money at this stage.
And what he could rely on was his Spirit Power, which had reached 1,000.
But Jiang Fu did not know exactly what level Spirit Power of 1,000 represented.
So he needed to investigate it clearly.
The internet was the fastest route.
In his previous life, Jiang Fu had been bedridden for three years.
Though it had made him somewhat twisted and gloomy.
It had also made him calm and rational.
He always planned before acting.
"Found it!"
"Spirit Power... Psychic Masters!"
"A branch of Martial Artists—special Martial Artists, more or less!"
Jiang Fu used his Spirit Power to rapidly browse the pages.
Unfortunately.
There was not much information online about Psychic Masters.
There were only rough introductions and scattered explanations.
Psychic Masters were mysterious and powerful.
They could manipulate objects from afar and even unleash mental attacks.
Killing without a trace.
But in other respects—
such as the specific value of Spirit Power and the ranks of Psychic Masters—
not a single word was mentioned.
"Right, the Martial Artist Forum!"
All at once,
Jiang Fu thought of something else.
He hurriedly used his Spirit Power to control the keyboard.
He entered a string of URLs.
After becoming a Martial Artist,
the original owner had been invited to the Martial Artist Guild to register his Martial Artist identity.
He had gained access to the Martial Artist Forum.
The Martial Artist Forum, as the name implied,
was sure to contain what he needed.
But when Jiang Fu opened the forum portal
and entered his Martial Artist identity information,
he was left somewhat dumbfounded.
Current Martial Artist identity has been canceled!
