Fleecing Braided Girl

They chatted idly along the way.

Jiang Qiao not only learned of Granny Liu's legendary life from Shen Yingning.

He also learned that Granny Liu's current husband—her sixth—had once been her secretary. His name was Zhu Yuandong.

Good grief, neither of them was a pushover.

This could practically be made into some trashy romance drama!

It would be called <The Domineering Female CEO Falls for Me: The Son-in-law Becomes King>.

The simulation continued:

[Day 10. You arrived at a place called Jieqiao Town and found Little Monk in the Land Temple. You revived him and named him Tang Sanzang.

To celebrate the fact that twenty-four hours had passed from yesterday to today, you treated him to a meat meal.

He seemed to hate Vicious Ghosts deeply. Gritting his teeth, he devoured a huge basinful, and your Mad Scientist advanced to the Third Tier.]

[Day 11. You took Little Monk back to Bin City and joined the Shelter Camp.

The Shelter Camp warmly welcomed your arrival.

The military's person in charge, Zhang Guoliang, met with you and enthusiastically discussed topics of mutual concern.

You discovered that Awakened had appeared in the Shelter Camp.]

[Day 12. You captured all sorts of terrifying Vicious Ghosts, including Long-tongued Ghosts, Multi-waisted Ghosts, and Three-brained Ghosts.

You washed them clean, removed the odor with cooking wine, scallions, and ginger, then added salt to marinate them.

That evening, dish after dish was served.

The survivors who ate them praised them endlessly.

That night, many people became Awakened.

Some awakened precision abilities and became incredible pitchers, able to hit a target by throwing a watermelon backward from several hundred meters away.

Some awakened fire-controlling abilities and became ghostfire youths, running around with Green Light glowing all over their bodies.

But most incredible of all, someone actually gained an ability called "Get Stronger by Taking a Beating." Other people's punches could make him stronger!

So now, more than a dozen burly, muscular tough guys were holding sledgehammers to assist his cultivation.

The greatest gains still went to you.

Every time an Awakened appeared, you received an improvement equivalent to killing two Vicious Ghosts.

Some Awakened who continued growing stronger provided you with experience points without end.

Your "Supernatural Chef" talent broke through to the Third Tier.

You planned to form a team called the "Family of the Buried Love," because you felt so damn happy now.

The Shelter Camp survivors were deeply grateful to you, but upon hearing that ancient name, their expressions changed dramatically. They waved their hands again and again, shouting that they couldn't, that they couldn't bear such karma.

In the end, you had no choice but to give up.]

[Day 13. Holding a cat and riding in a sedan chair, you took Little Monk and the Ghost Infants into Bin City.

You gave the order: find those shameless Vicious Ghosts plastering little ads everywhere!

All the ghosts sprang into action.

After a day of searching through every district, you collected more than thirty Missing Face Notices.

After Little Monk consecrated them, no curse appeared.]

[Day 14. You discovered several Paper People in the city. You hid behind them and had Little Monk kill them all.]

[Day 15. At night, you heard the roar of engines.

A convoy approached in the distance, containing all kinds of luxury cars such as Benz and Rolls-Royce, but no Mazda was spotted.

On the lead car was an enormous funeral portrait of Little Monk!

But just after they stopped, before they could make a move, they encountered an incident where sewer covers blasted into the air.

Ghost Infants crawled out one after another.

Paper toys were every brat's favorite. Before long, most of the paper cars had been torn into pieces.

In the end, you kept a BMW and transferred its ownership.

Thus ended the era of you riding in a sedan chair while Little Monk walked.]

[Day 16. You entered the North City District to explore and found nothing.]

[Day 17. You had the Ghost Infants continue searching the North City District while you quietly drove into the South City District under stealth.

Before entering the South City District, you rolled the Fate Dice.

Fortunately, you rolled a 5.

Wrapped in a cloak made from Skin Ghost hide and carrying a ghostly green Bone Lantern, you strolled through the streets of the South City District.

Near the library, you discovered Braided Girl, who stood ten meters tall.

You repeatedly tested the line between life and death, slowly approaching her step by step.

But luckily, perhaps because you were still far enough away, she did not notice you.

At that moment, a vast amount of Ghost Qi began flowing toward you.

It was Ghost Qi cultivated by Braided Girl. You felt that every wisp was equivalent to killing a Vicious Ghost.

You settled down in a house nearby. Ghost Qi arrived every moment, endlessly, so you had no need to go out and kill ghosts yourself.

Work was so exhausting. Why not just lie flat?]

[Day 18. You slept.]

[Day 19. While watching a dirty movie, you cheered Braided Girl on, hoping she would cultivate diligently and live up to her youth.]

[Day 20. Your Lightning Thunder Fist broke through to the Fourth Order, and your Fate Dice broke through to the Third Tier.]

[...]

[Day 25. You happily ate hotpot, and without realizing it, your Invincible Body broke through to the Fourth Order.]

[Day 26. While you slept, your Mad Scientist broke through to the Fourth Order.]

[Day 27. You discovered that something was wrong with Braided Girl.

Over the past few days, her strength had begun increasing more slowly. She could not find the reason, but some instinct made her turn her attention toward the area where you were.

The wind was tight—run!

You hurriedly fled and ultimately escaped successfully.]

[Day 28. On your way back to the Shelter Camp, you encountered a female Awakened fighting a bloated Stitched Ghost with human hands growing from its belly.

After approaching, you discovered that it was Shen Yingning.

She was also astonished to see you and cried out, "Master, why are you here?"

You went up and punched the Stitched Ghost to death, leaving her utterly shocked. Such strength exceeded her imagination.

You took her back to the Shelter Camp.]

[Day 29. The research results you left behind had continuously been transformed into all kinds of new weapons. You had Tang Sanzang consecrate these weapons, greatly multiplying their power.

After you held a secret talk with the military's person in charge, Zhang Guoliang, the Shelter Camp relocation plan began.

You once again provided the relevant authorities with information about Evolvers.]

[Day 30. You left the Bin City Shelter Camp.

Little Monk, Shen Yingning, a paper car, and over a hundred Ghost Infants followed you.]

[...]

[Day 33. You followed the highway to a village and discovered a large number of animals tainted with Ghost Qi inside.

Little Monk directly pulled out the consecrated Six-barreled Talisman Rocket Launcher and launched a long-range attack.

The ghost animals had no time to react and quickly became corpses.

This was the power of technology!

That night, you turned the animals' bodies into a Meal on a Plate.

Sanzang and Shen Yingning both ate with great relish, but you alone felt the taste was not very good.

Perhaps the heavy firepower had ruined the freshness of the Ingredients.

In any case, you could only make do and absorb a mouthful of Ghost Qi.

After all, food could not be wasted.]
