Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Lin Luo had spent money to hire a small carriage to take him home at a leisurely pace.

He had no idea that a King level expert was following him.

“System, take a look at my character panel.”

[Host: Lin Luo]

[Cultivation physique: Crippled body of inferior roots]

[Strength, Agility, and Defense—Martial Artist]

[Affinity with the five elements—Zero]

[Special attribute affinity—Zero]

[Skill—Zero]

[Spirit stones remaining: 1559]

“Good fellow, you really know how much money I have!”

[Your ‘one-click to cultivate dantian’ function can be upgraded. The time limit is only 1000 spiritual stones, and the cultivation speed will be upgraded to 400 spiritual energy points per hour.]

[Your ‘one-click learning’ function is waiting to be activated. 100 spirit stones will be deducted for a limited time.]

“Top up!”

“Both functions, charge!”

With more than 2000 yuan in his savings, Lin Luo chose to top up without a second thought!

“System, how much spiritual energy do I need to become a middle-ranked and high-ranking martial artist?”

[Dear host, you need to reach 30000 spiritual energy points for an intermediate martial artist, 60000 spiritual energy points for an advanced martial artist, and for a martial master, its 10000, 30000, 60000, respectively]

So many!

As expected, it wasn’t easy to cultivate to the martial master stage. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people stuck at the martial warrior stage for their entire lives, unable to break through.

[One-click cultivation dantian upgrade successful ]

In an instant, before the system could finish giving him the notification, Lin Luo felt the change in his cultivation speed.

The fluctuation of spirit energy around him was obviously different. It surrounded Lin Luo and began to absorb more rapidly. Lin Luo felt that every inch of his skin was breathing.

The spiritual power in his body began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

400 spiritual energy points per hour!

[The one-click learning function has been successfully activated. The host only needs to see the corresponding martial arts or cultivation technique with your eyes, and the system will help you learn it.]

Lin Luo was overjoyed.

He didn’t have any skills right now, and to be honest, he was a little weak.

Although he had become a warrior, he might not even be able to defeat a warrior apprentice.

It seemed that he had to find time to buy a martial technique and learn it.

“System, can I level up again by cultivating my dantian with one click?”

[Dear host, your current one-click cultivation dantian is at Level 3, and it costs 400 spiritual energy points per hour. [ top up 10000 spirit stones to reach Level 4,800 spirit energy per hour.]

Good Lord.

Ten thousand spirit stones? Are you kidding me?

The amount of money he had spent had increased tenfold, but his cultivation speed had only doubled?

Fortunately, the Federation’s spirit stone rewards and support for martial artists were relatively large. Otherwise, who could afford to support a broken system like you?

Scolding was scolding, but he still had to be good.

In the martial master stage, the spiritual energy needed to level up was 100000, 300000, and 600000, respectively. With his current speed of 400 spiritual energy per hour, he feared it wouldn’t be soon enough.

Of course, if others were to know what Lin Luo was thinking, they would probably vomit blood on the spot.

One had to know that ordinary people might be stuck as martial artists for their entire lives, unable to advance to martial master.

Even if they were lucky enough to become one, it would take them at least five to ten years to become a middle-grade martial master.

I’m not like you, cultivating even when you’re eating and drinking!

While he was thinking along the way, he had already reached home.

Lin Luo returned to the slums. When he was close to the door, he heard the sound of guests at home.

Who could it be? Mr. Zhang?

Pushing the door open, he saw Meng’er pouring water for a guest. Lin Luo recognized one of them. It was indeed Mr. Zhang.

The other man had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. His thick arms were full of scars, and he was full of killing intent.

“Lin Luo, you’re back. Let me introduce you.”

Mr. Zhang stood up.

“This mister is called Zhang Renhu, a good friend of mine from the Zhang family. Now, he has his own hunting team, and he’s recruiting young people to join.

“Renhu, this is the Lin Luo I was talking about. He just advanced to a martial apprentice a few days ago… It’s wrong!”

Mr. Zhang took a closer look and was dumbfounded.

“You, you, you, how did you advance to a martial master?”

I haven’t seen you in four days, and you’ve become a martial master?

Mr. Zhang was completely stunned on the spot, and his heart was in turmoil!

“Brother Hao, this kid was just an ordinary person four days ago? Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

Mr. Zhang grabbed Lin Luo and confirmed it repeatedly. In the end, he could feel the extremely obvious fluctuation of a martial artist’s spirit energy and confirmed it.

Did this kid really break through to martial warrior in four days?

“This kid was washing dishes in my shop four days ago!”

“After he broke through to a martial apprentice, he quit his job and cultivated for four days. Then, he became a martial warrior?”

Zhang Renhu’s eyes gleamed in excitement.

In that case, he must be a talent!

“Little brother, the Zhang family has been recruiting new members recently. The monthly salary is 3000 spirit stones, the missions are safe, and most of the positions are in the logistics department. Do you want to give it a try?”

“Do you want to go on an adventure outside the city?”

Zhang Renhu nodded.

“Why would I recruit you if you won’t go out of the city to do missions?”

“I won’t!”

Lin Meng’er heaved a sigh of relief after Lin Luo rejected him.

However, Mr. Zhang’s face darkened.

It was such a good opportunity, and he didn’t want it?

“Do you know how hard it is to find a job with a monthly salary of 3000 spirit stones?”

This was a high-paying job that everyone was envious of!

“Brat, I got you a job through my connections. If you go, they can give you a place to live, and you and Meng’er won’t have to live in the slums!”

Mr. Zhang kicked Lin Luo without any restraint. He had an exasperated look on his face.

Lin Luo wasn’t angry.

He knew that Mr. Zhang was doing this for his and Meng’er’s own good.

“Is there a place where you don’t have to go to the field and can work in the Zhang family safely?”

Mr. Zhang glared at Lin Luo.

What are you thinking? How could there be such a good thing?

However, he did not expect Zhang Renhu to laugh instead. He muttered to himself for a while and finally said slowly,

“There is. If you can become a martial master in half a year, I’ll treat you as a guest elder on behalf of the Zhang family!

“As for guest masters, they don’t have to do anything. They only need to accompany the Zhang family’s higher-ups to attend some events and hold up the fort.”

“This sounds good!

“However, how could it take half a year?

“System, how long more do I need to cultivate to the martial master realm automatically?”

[Dear host, the spiritual energy required to reach the martial master realm is 100000 points. You still need about 225 hours, which is about ten days.]

Half a year? Hehe!

I only need ten days!

At the thought of this, Lin Luo slammed the table and directly shouted at Zhang Renhu, “There’s no need for half a year! If you lend me 10000 spirit stones, I’ll be able to break through to the martial master realm in half a month!”

At that moment, Meng’er, who was carrying water, Mr. Zhang, flustered and exasperated, Zhang Renhu, and Yuan Xin, who was squatting on the roof and munching on melon seeds, were stunned.

This kid was very arrogant!

“Good, you have ambition! If you can really become a martial master in half a month, then you don’t need to pay me back!”

Zhang Renhu’s eyes lit up, and he laughed out loud!

Similarly, he generously handed Lin Luo a gold card with 10000 spiritual stones.

Lin Luo’s heart was pounding nervously!

‘I’ve earned a lot, I’ve earned a lot!’

‘Was it that easy to earn money these days?’

However, at this moment, Yuan Xin, who was eavesdropping on the roof, seemed to have thought of something.

He grinned, as if he had made a decision.

“Hold on!”

“You dare to rob the people of my original Chuxin team?”

Zhang Renhu’s face changed!
