This Isn't My Foster Father

[As your Martial Arts rapidly improved, you began to feel increasingly dissatisfied with the power of low-level martial artists, yearning for greater Strength.]

[Due to your massive capture of martial artists in the northern lands, the number of martial artists in the north dwindled day by day, causing you to consider new strategies.]

[You decided to start cultivating a batch of high-quality "ingredients." In your eyes, martial artists were no longer simply martial artists but had become an important resource on your path of cultivation.]

[You began to adopt orphans and teach them a Daoist Technique, allowing them to cultivate. This Technique could cultivate their character and nurture their nature, and its Inner Force was gentle and pure. But in your view, the Inner Force cultivated by these orphans was nothing more than "ingredients" with succulent flesh.]

[A bold idea gradually sprouted in your heart: after unifying the world, you would turn everyone into consumables and food for your cultivation... You even believed that perhaps one day, your Strength would reach the level of immortal cultivation.]

[As time passed, you became increasingly cold-blooded and insane, resorting to ever more unscrupulous means to become stronger.]

Yun Ming's eyes twitched incessantly.

Calling him a villain was an understatement; he was simply not human.

On the Light Screen.

In a deep mountain pit, hundreds of orphans huddled together, sitting cautiously on the ground. Their eyes were filled with fear and unease, as if they were constantly awaiting unknown punishment.

Several burly Han men, bare-chested, stood around menacingly, clutching whips in their hands. Their gazes were cold and sharp, as if they were ready to severely punish any unruly behavior at any moment.

In front of these orphans, a middle-aged Taoist Priest in a Taoist robe appeared ethereal and refined. He was patiently teaching the children to read, his voice gentle and powerful, trying to bring a trace of comfort and warmth to these children.

Every day, the Taoist Priest would test the children's literacy.

Once poor performance was discovered, those Han men would not hesitate to swing their whips, lashing out at these children without any mercy.

If they failed for seven consecutive days, they would be ruthlessly taken away, and no one knew where they would be taken.

After learning to read, the Taoist Priest would begin to teach the children to cultivate.

Following the Taoist Priest's guidance, they diligently cultivated their Inner Force, hoping to improve their Strength.

As time passed, Simulation Yun Ming arrived at this mountain pit.

He raised his hand and grabbed into the Void, and a stream of purple Qi emerged. The remaining hundred or so children were immediately suspended in the air.

Their small faces were full of pain, and blue Qi emerged from their bodies, being absorbed into Simulation Yun Ming's body.

Simulation Yun Ming looked at this scene, a satisfied smile on his face. He mused, "Indeed, the Inner Force cultivated by children is purer and more powerful than that of adults. Although their Inner Force is not deep, its quality far surpasses that of adults. This may be because the younger they are, the more Innate Qi they have in their bodies."

Simulation Yun Ming pondered for a while and decided to distinguish the children by age in the future to better utilize their Inner Force.

He said faintly to the Han men and the Taoist Priest kneeling before him, "From now on, separate them by age."

The Taoist Priest nodded repeatedly in agreement, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Then the Taoist Priest said in a low voice, "Lord, these children can no longer cultivate. Their bodies have been damaged, and their vitality has been injured."

Simulation Yun Ming listened to the Taoist Priest's report expressionlessly and said slowly, "As long as they can still farm, that's all that matters. There's no need to worry about anything else."

The Taoist Priest nodded repeatedly in agreement.

[You are very satisfied with this experiment, and you feel that you have discovered a new world]

Back in reality.

"I feel like I've become a demon." Yun Ming's eyes twitched.

He never expected that he in the Simulation would come up with such a terrifying idea.

Teaching people to cultivate Martial Arts and then harvesting their power.

Like raising pigs.

He didn't know whether to call him a genius or what.

"The people outside are probably already cursing me." Yun Ming couldn't imagine what the viewers watching the live broadcast thought.

"."

"Isn't this just raising leeks and harvesting leeks?" Zhao Xin exclaimed, his tone full of shock, "But this is for children. This is too much"

Zhao Xin found it hard to say.

Qi Lin's Willow Eyebrows furrowed, her face alternating between green and purple. She said indignantly, "He simply doesn't treat people as people, completely regarding human lives as worthless. How can he do this!"

Qiang Wei had a cold expression, she said coldly, "To improve his own Strength and satisfy his own desires, he really uses any means. If this guy really stood in front of me, I would definitely shatter his head with my own hands and let him taste the pain."

Cheng Yaowen frowned and fell into deep thought: "According to his cultivation method, his Strength will probably rise rapidly and become more and more terrifying. Before long, he may become the strongest person in the world. Judging from his style of doing things, he is completely a typical villain boss."

"I can't help but wonder, will this Light Screen tell an old-fashioned story about the rise of a boss, who is eventually defeated by the righteous side? From humble beginnings to the peak, and then falling from the peak, shattering into pieces."

Lei Na, while eating potato chips, watched the plot on the sky. She shook her head and said, "This kind of story is too boring. If the righteous side ultimately defeats the evil, then at least it should be a dual-protagonist setting. I think, in the end, he will probably successfully reach the top, crush all enemies, and stage a grand drama where victory is justice and greatness."

Qiang Wei couldn't help but glare at Lei Na and scolded, "Your values are wrong!"

Lei Na didn't care. She chuckled and continued to watch the sky with her head held high, saying indifferently, "It's just watching a show, why are you guys always so serious? Isn't it too much to make such a big deal out of it?"

"Who wants to watch this broken show? This Light Screen is global, its origin is mysterious, and it can't be detected at all. How terrifying is this means and ability? Maybe everything inside is real." Qiang Wei said seriously.

"There are all kinds of dark things in this Universe. Are you going to sanction them now, relying on your own thoughts?" Lei Na asked impatiently, "Can't you just watch the show properly?"

"You

[You stay at home and concentrate on cultivation]

[Suddenly one day, you received a Secret Letter from Yuan Tiangang, informing you that the time to get rid of your Foster Father has come]

Yun Ming couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help but complain, "Can you please stop with the 'your Foster Father' every other sentence? I don't have a Foster Father; that was a Simulation, not me."

The words "Foster Father" immediately made him think of Lu Bu, of wolves and tigers, and of a man who betrayed three families.

The System kept saying "you" this and "you" that, in a suggestive manner, making it hard for him to keep a straight face.

To be honest, although he in the Simulation wasn't as reckless as Lu Bu, he truly had the heart of a wolf or tiger.

Moreover, he had acknowledged a Foster Father, and now he had to be a filial son.

It was starting to have a bit of that three-surname slave vibe.
