Legend of the Fierce Man

"This was a pretty good start."

Walking down the street, Zhu Zhengwei began summing up his experience. "I successfully brought in a batch of Servers. Luckily, there are plenty of people around the school who sleep during the day."

Over the twenty years he had rebuilt, he had constantly been studying the Qi Consumption Method.

Though he had not made any major breakthroughs, his soul had indeed grown much stronger. As for his abilities, he could clear people's meridians and had also picked up a simple hypnosis technique.

That was right.

Hypnosis.

It was one of Zhu Zhengwei's plans for the future, an essential ability.

Hypnosis existed in this world, but it was nowhere near as absurd as it was in movies.

Zhu Zhengwei had looked into the relevant knowledge and conducted research based on his own abilities. With his exceptionally powerful soul, he had already achieved "a tiny bit" of success in this area.

Revealing his right eye with its Tear Mole and making someone stare into it could quickly put them to sleep, allowing them to enter a dream. That was already quite an impressive ability.

That was why he had dared to leave the school and look for "Servers."

"In the school dorms, students sleep on schedule, so opening their 'bubbles' is effortless. But what about outside?"

"You can't just make people sleep because you want them to."

"How to make them fall asleep quickly is the real problem."

Only after they fell asleep would their "bubbles" appear.

The young ladies before him were seriously working at sleeping, not actually sleeping. It was precisely because Zhu Zhengwei had hypnosis as his backing that he dared to seek out other "day-shift Servers."

Of course, the best candidates were still the young ladies.

If you hypnotized someone on the street, there would be serious trouble.

But it was fine with the young ladies. They were working anyway. He merely arranged a dream for them, and when they woke up, they would only think he had been an ordinary customer.

Zhu Zhengwei was extremely careful about this. He was a very cautious person.

"This is so perfect. Who could discover me? Who could notice anything strange?"

A smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"And reality has proven that although Ordinary People can't fully feed back their real bodies like I can, they can still feed back some things that dreams can naturally feed back."

After all, erotic dreams were perfectly normal.

Over the next few days, he swept through the whole area, then left while they were still asleep.

As for what dreams they continued having afterward?

That had nothing to do with him.

Yet as Zhu Zhengwei swept through the area, he found things growing stranger and stranger. The moment he entered a shop, the young ladies would greet him with bizarre words.

"Are you that man from the legends? You swept through Sister Li's shop all by yourself?"

Zhu Zhengwei had no idea what she meant, but she clearly recognized him. Did they have some kind of group chat?

That older auntie from before must have spread the word in the group chat.

I've become a legend?

He had obviously been so careful.

Next shop.

"Hmph, man! We will never surrender to your Xin Fu Gang!"

Xin Fu Gang? What kind of awful gang name was that?

He was just an ordinary customer.

Could they have mistaken him for someone else?

I've been very careful.

Next shop.

"As expected of that man from the legends!"

"I've traveled far and wide, but this is the first time I've met a formidable figure like you. I deeply admire you. Please, come in!" A seductive, tattooed woman lit a cigarette, radiating the bold spirit of the underworld as she sat at the entrance, having waited for him for quite some time.

By the time Zhu Zhengwei made his way down the street, he was completely dumbfounded.

Why did it feel like he had become someone with a story?

What had happened?

Were they insane?

They definitely had a group chat, exchanged information with one another, had already recognized him, and were waiting for him to come knocking.

But Zhu Zhengwei ignored it.

He wore a mask and a baseball cap. As long as they did not know what he really looked like, it was fine.

Whatever came, he would deal with it. He was conducting legitimate business, a law-abiding good citizen. What was there to fear?

But after several days.

Without Zhu Zhengwei realizing it, an urban legend had begun to spread.

The name of a Peerless Fierce Man began striking fear into the young ladies of the trade. It was said that after receiving this legendary customer, they would inevitably close up shop and cease business.

Recently, even many alleyways had become much quieter. Citizens who did not know the reason thought there had been a crackdown on prostitution and illegal publications, and the city's appearance had become far cleaner and tidier.

As the rumors grew larger and larger, students in Mountain City University's group chats began discussing this urban legend.

At that moment, in the dormitory.

Wang Jun shouted, "Get in the group chat, quick! Something that only happens once in a thousand years has happened! Our university town area is about to undergo a huge change!"

"What do you mean, once in a thousand years? A huge change? Clickbait, as usual."

Li Xiang was also the sort who loved gossip, and he was brimming with interest.

Seeing the two cry out, Zhu Zhengwei assumed some huge scandal had broken out at school and could not help coming over to watch as well.

There were always plenty of juicy scandals at school.

Like some rich second-generation student making a grand confession downstairs, or someone else doing something outrageous—there were all kinds of rumors.

But was something that could change their university town really that exaggerated?

Zhu Zhengwei could not imagine what it was.

In the group chat:

"Sigh, I heard that the young lady at that place on Baishan Road got her establishment challenged yesterday too! The scene was utterly horrific, bodies everywhere!"

"Gasp!!"

"In the end, she still couldn't escape disaster, huh? (Pity, pity)"

"I heard it too. Everyone says it was that Peerless Fierce Man of Five Thousand Years, a high-quality human male who appears only once every five hundred years. Is he really that exaggerated?"

"Peerless Fierce Man? That name is so tacky."

"Don't let the tackiness fool you. Things are tense right now; everyone is on edge! (Serious face)"

"So terrifying. Everyone's been panicking lately."

"Is someone really that fierce? Anyway, I don't believe it!"

"Me neither."

Seeing that no one believed him, the informed person could not help shaking his head and continued leaking insider information.

"Tch! You young people have seen too little! I heard this guy came prepared and has a major force behind him. This Peerless Fierce Man is the underground emperor of Shanhai Great City! A true underworld overlord! Him coming to our Shancheng City is no simple matter!"

"He came here alone to challenge establishments because he wants to unify Shancheng City's underground world. I heard he plans to consolidate the forces of all the Brothel Madams and establish a 'Shancheng Xin Fu Gang,' changing the turf of our university town. His methods are extremely ruthless."

Pfft.

Zhu Zhengwei was drinking water and immediately choked.

Why did this sound so much like the plot of a Hong Kong gangster movie?

And Xin Fu Gang... it sounded strangely familiar.
