Reality X Choice

Tianjin City, next to Nankai University, an alley.

"Hmph~ You are... whimper"

The greasy, middle-aged man with red hair struggled to get up.

But someone was stepping on his back, his hands were tied behind him, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

He couldn't understand why he, who just wanted to get some money from a young student, was subdued by this teenager. Before he could figure it out, he was hit on the head again.

"It's your bad luck! Yo, kid, you've had a good haul today~"

He tied up the middle-aged man in a flash, then took out four or five mobile phones and nearly ten thousand yuan in cash from the thief.

He wasn't worried that the information he reported to Xu San would be doubted; the Cycle Paradise would naturally arrange such trivial matters reasonably for him.

After all, Hogwarts existed in the world of "Under One Person," so the Druidic religion, which existed in orthodox history, was also reasonable.

In this异人 world where legendary sects and cultivators were rationalized, although the Druidic sect was abroad, its appearance was considered compliant.

However, apart from the basic setting, Paradise would not provide any other assistance. Therefore, apart from an ID card, he had nothing in his Mark Space.

In this "Derivative World," he was penniless. This world not only had the laws and order of the Celestial Dynasty but also the control of the "Anywhere Express" company.

This also determined that he couldn't obtain resources through murder and robbery or theft like in the previous "Doomsday Roulette" world.

Well, acting heroically shouldn't count.

Unless Wang Changle wanted to be pursued by the police or become a person of interest to "Anywhere Express."

However, society always had some people in the gray areas, those who lived on the fringes of law and crime but appeared in every corner of the city.

The most common examples were thugs, thieves, and hoodlums!

After searching for valuables, Wang Changle didn't let the middle-aged man off. After knocking him unconscious with a blow, he secretly took out the Human-faced Rose.

Comparing it to the middle-aged man's appearance, he used his Mental Power to assist, shaping an identical face, and then put it back into his space.

He slowly walked into the mall, changed into the middle-aged man's face amidst the crowd, and instantly put his jacket into his space, thus shaking off the person following him.

"Anywhere Express deliverymen are really swift; they started following me as soon as I entered the city."

Wang Changle was glad he had obtained two sticks of [Spirit Calming Incense] before entering the world.

He used one immediately after leaving Xu San, removing the negative status effect of "lust."

Otherwise, he would now have to resist the invasion of 'lust' while also dealing with the tracking by 'Anywhere Express,' which would be extremely difficult.

The reason he chose [Spirit Calming Incense] back then was simple: in the world of "Under One Person," there might not be earth-shattering battles, but he would have to face all sorts of peculiar cultivation techniques.

In this world system where cultivators were rationalized, there were too many plot characters with special abilities, all of whom came with terrible negative effects.

Whether it was the control of the "Four Maniacs," the paralysis of "Palm Thunder," the invasion of "Jiang Gong Water Organ," or the "Bai Shi Xue's" consumption of Qi.

Or the poisonous miasma of the "Tang Sect," all of them came with negative effects that lasted for a considerable time.

That's why he obtained two sticks of [Spirit Calming Incense] right away. See, they're being used now.

Having shaken off his pursuers, Wang Changle quietly returned to the mall, bought several sets of different clothes, took out the thief's phone, and began searching for related gray industry areas.

Jing'anli, Guang Yue Club.

"246, big~"

The greasy middle-aged man stood by the dice table, again collecting the chips he had won. The chips in front of him had piled up into a small mountain.

More than ten minutes ago, the middle-aged man had come to the table and bet four times in a row, winning each time.

Amidst the envy of others, his chips expanded exponentially. In the eyes of many onlookers, he was the embodiment of the God of Wealth, and they all gathered behind him, preparing to follow his bets.

The greasy middle-aged man picked up his chips and headed towards the service counter. The beautiful dealer glanced into the distance and continued her work normally, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of her mouth as she thought to herself.

"You won at the casino and now you want to leave? This person is really amusing~"

Wang Changle glanced at two stubble-faced men walking side-by-side in plain clothes past him.

His eyes flickered, and with a nimble sidestep, he slipped between them.

"Kid, I'm talking to you, stop! You've got some nerve, daring to steal Brother Hu's money!"

The stubble-faced man turned and shouted, reaching out to grab him.

"If you touch me once, I'll bet again. Not only will I bet it all, but I'll also call the number!"

The middle-aged man stood his ground without dodging, letting the large hand grab him, and tossed the chips in his hand.

With his keen senses, he had not only learned how to control energy through Contemplation but also gained considerable experience in using Mental Power, so calling out the numbers was naturally not a problem.

As an异人, he couldn't think of a more suitable place to earn quick, legal money in a short period.

Just as Brother Hu's hand was about to land on the man's shoulder, he suddenly withdrew it.

He subtly glanced towards the rooms upstairs and could only let Wang Changle complete the exchange.

Ten minutes later, in the back alley of Jiangmenli.

"Robbed a thief in the morning, extracted a thug in the evening, hmm, reasonable. Thank you for your patronage, goodbye~"

Four people were knocked to the ground by Wang Changle, who was clad in armor. He stretched his limbs, and a green light connected to one of them.

[Life Essence (Common)]

Origin: Under One Person world

Rarity: White

Type: Consumable

Life Apostle: Upon use, immediately restores 5 points of Life Force.

Description: A mass of chaotic life energy.

Price: 150 Paradise Coin.

After extracting 24% of the target's life origin, Wang Changle looked speechlessly at the dull gray mass of Life Essence in his hand.

This effect is quite useless, it seems the person is no good.

In a flash, he changed back into the face of a middle schooler, kicked the person again, and hailed a taxi to drive into the distance.

Lying on the bed in a hotel suite, Wang Changle brought up his status panel, counted the remaining time for the mission, and began to make plans.

The next day, Tianxia Group, front desk.

"Hello, sir. Tianxia Group is happy to serve you! Whom may I help you find?"

"Um, I'd like to find Miss Feng Shayan, or Young Master Feng Xingtong."

"Hello, Young Master Feng is not here, but Miss Feng is. Do you have an appointment?"

"Not at the moment. I heard that the Tianxia Association is widely recruiting outsiders from the public, so I've come to apply to join the Tianxia Association. Please inform them."

As Wang Changle was talking to the receptionist, the revolving door behind him opened, and a capable female voice came from behind him, carrying a hint of swagger.

"No need to inform them, I'm here! Are you Marfario-Ode, the one who helped the 'Nada Tong' company capture the Quanxing newcomer?"

Feng Shayan, dressed in a leather outfit and a bandeau, stood in the corridor.

Clearly, after a day and a night, along with the news of the Qi Body Origin Flow and the capture of Quanxing's Lu Liang, his name had spread.

"Yes, my name is Marfario-Ode. I've come to join the Tianxia Association out of admiration for its prestige."

Wang Changle clasped his fists, striking a martial arts pose.

"You look the part, and you seem sturdy enough. I just don't know about your strength."

Feng Shayan raised an eyebrow, faced the humble middle schooler before her, and clenched her fist.

"Miss, you are welcome to test me."

"Oh~? Then let's go. To the training grounds. Let's see what this guy's made of!"
