Murder and Arson Bring Golden Belts

Back at the Xiao Family, Xiao Bai bid farewell to Xiao Mei, who had spent the day with him, and headed straight back to his residence.

He opened the Cheat interface.

Cheat update complete. Please install.

Faced with this, Xiao Bai was already well accustomed to it. Naturally, he chose to install it.

Cheat installation in progress. Please wait...

To Xiao Bai, the Cheat was the foundation of his existence. So even during such a boring wait, he did not dare let his guard down in the slightest and waited patiently.

Deleting old resource pack. Installing new resource pack.

20%... 50%... 98%... 99%... 100%.

Finally, just as Xiao Bai was beginning to feel drowsy from waiting, the Cheat was successfully installed.

Activating the official Cheat for the user. The trial Cheat has been deleted.

The official version of the Cheat was soon online, leaving Xiao Bai so excited that he could barely speak coherently.

I knew it. The old Cheat was a little too difficult to use. What kind of Cheat was that? So it turns out I'd been using a trial version. Now I get it!

A Cheat existed to break the balance of the world. If it was not all that useful, then it could not be called a Cheat.

Let's see what this official Cheat had.

Personal Information Panel

Username: Xiao Bai

Strength: One Star Dou Zhe

Attribute: Light

Cultivation Art: Nine Yang Radiant Heaven Art (Heaven Tier High-level)

Dou Techniques: Mirage—Beginner

Light Shield—Beginner

Light Escape—Beginner

Light Slash—Beginner

Note: All current skills are Mysterious-tier Low-level Dou Techniques and can improve as strength increases. Other Dou Techniques unrelated to light have been removed; they were too weak.

If you wish to learn them, you may study them on your own! However, their tiers will not improve.

(Each major realm advancement adds two Light-attribute Dou Techniques.)

Now this was what it meant to use a Cheat! This was a real Cheat! It had even gotten rid of his previous Dou Techniques.

As compensation, it directly gave him a Heaven Tier High-level cultivation art that even operated automatically. He did not need to cultivate deliberately for his strength to keep rising.

His satisfaction with this service was a full one hundred percent.

Aside from that, the enhancement function had been listed separately.

There was now a furnace beneath the enhancement function, and it had an imposing name—the Heaven and Earth Forging Furnace.

The Heaven and Earth Forging Furnace would be Xiao Bai's method of increasing his strength from now on.

Xiao Bai needed to toss energy-containing materials into the Heaven and Earth Forging Furnace, then enter the furnace himself to be enhanced. This removed the step of cultivating outside and absorbing energy.

Of course, enhancement was not limited to strength. It could also enhance skills, the physical body, the soul, and more.

That was the basic information on the updated Cheat. Compared to before, the changes were enormous.

Most obviously, it gave Xiao Bai more time to go out and have fun, allowing him to use the time he would have spent cultivating deliberately on other matters.

Xiao Bai felt that the Cheat had only one purpose in arranging things this way: giving him time to stir up trouble—endlessly stir up trouble.

"Ah, life is so hard!"

Xiao Bai silently lamented to himself. The burden on his shoulders had grown much heavier.

But as the coolest among transmigrators, this little bit of pressure was nothing!

After understanding all this information, Xiao Bai began planning his future development.

After all, once he had seen the Cheat, Xiao Bai understood one truth.

He needed resources—massive resources. Only by using an unimaginably vast amount of resources could he build himself into a man standing at the very peak of this world.

Therefore, according to Xiao Bai's plan, the best way to quickly obtain a large quantity of resources was to head out.

After all, resources had to be found by oneself. One could not simply wait for them to come knocking.

As the ancients said, "Murder and arson bring golden belts; building bridges and paving roads leave no bodies behind."

Taken literally, this saying was perfectly suited to the current situation.

So, Xiao Bai believed that the fastest way to acquire resources was to rob... no, he should call it borrowing.

After all, they were all civilized people. They had to be civilized.

Of course, even when "borrowing" from people, one needed strategy.

According to righteousness, when dealing with the rich and heartless, he would rob the rich to aid the poor. When dealing with those rotten to the core, he would strip them of their family fortunes.

Naturally, when necessary, he also had to pull out the roots, lest the spring breeze blow and they grow again.

Xiao Bai agreed with the saying: kill one bad person, save a group of good people.

Perhaps this did not quite align with Buddhist teachings.

Buddhism taught that one could become a Buddha the moment one laid down the butcher's knife, and that saving one life was better than building a seven-story pagoda.

But what did that have to do with Xiao Bai?

Xiao Bai did not believe in Buddhism.

Xiao Bai had already decided that once this clan assembly ended, he would head out in search of opportunities, such as the tombs or ruins of ancient experts.

While he was at it, he would look across various places for villains who bullied men and women, deliver heavenly justice upon them, and use their resources to help out a poor man like himself.

His own growth was only for the sake of saving the world better.

Xiao Bai silently recited to himself.

"Everything is for this world, for these humans who have suffered so much bullying."

"Forgive my sins. Amitabha."

Xiao Bai pressed his palms together and prayed for himself in silence for a moment. It counted as seeking a little peace of mind.

Having decided what he wanted to do, Xiao Bai also had no intention of letting go of the treasures whose locations he knew from reading the original novel.

First, of course, was the ruin Xiao Yi Xian found in the Monster Mountain Range.

There was also the Heavenly Flame far away in the desert—the Green Lotus Core Flame. Xiao Bai planned to take a look at that as well.

After all, the plot had not yet begun. That meant the Green Lotus Core Flame might still be in that desert and had not been taken by Queen Medusa.

Therefore, Xiao Bai still had a good chance of obtaining the Heavenly Flame. If he used it as energy, his strength might not merely rise by a star or two, but undergo a tremendous increase.

After considering his future plans, Xiao Bai began examining his extraordinary cultivation art, the Heaven Tier High-level Nine Yang Radiant Heaven Art.

Sometimes, Xiao Bai could not help but sigh.

"Isn't my Cheat a little too obvious?"

Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Bai could not help worrying. Was there some Cheat reporting and handling center here?

Would someone ban my Cheat?

If it really got banned, wouldn't I be unable to keep playing? I'd only be able to stay in the Xiao Family and become a house pet.

Besides, he had provoked Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er. Wouldn't they leave him so far behind that he could not even see their taillights?

If they were ruthless enough, he might even be secretly executed.

No... no, I absolutely can't let that happen!

So, after giving it careful thought, Xiao Bai decided he should quietly suppress this protagonist starting now.

Of course, he would not openly suppress him. Instead, he would seize the opportunities that might belong to Xiao Yan in the future and slow his rate of growth.

Naturally, as the son of the plane, Xiao Yan would surely have other opportunities. But Xiao Bai definitely could not pass up the ones he already knew about.

It was like walking down the road with no one around and finding lots of ownerless gold bars at your feet—the kind that you could pick up without breaking the law. Would you pick them up or not?

Where else could he find such a good thing? Naturally, Xiao Bai would not refuse.

In short, there was only one word: take!
