Lucky or Unlucky

Bian woke up feeling like a brand new person, today his new adventures would begin after greeting his mom and playing with his little sister he set off.

In front of the teleporter, he gulped down the saliva in his throat, to his left and right people we entering the teleporter like pros even though most of them were 16-year-old just like Bian

"Well here goes nothing" he stepped into the teleporter and after a moment of dizziness he saw his room.

When a person enters first God sanctuary they appear in a room only they can enter. He stepped out and what greeted his sight was a street full of people bustling about.

No longer an introvert he started greeting people and gathering information.

"Hmm, I guess I'm unlucky then." Unfortunately, he didn't spawn in steel armored shelter but rather in glory shelter, he needs to find a way to make it to steel armored shelter and fast.

After snooping around for a while he found someone named the dealer, covered in all black with a black face mask and a black sash tied on his head only his eyes were visible and only his voice gave away his gender.

"A little birdie told me you've been looking around" he said. 'Damn, he's good' thought Bian.

"I need to get to steel armored shelter and fast."

Bian got straight to the point.

The dealer responded "the only way you're getting there in one piece is to follow a group of merchants who move from shelter to shelter."

After he was sure Bian understood what he said he raised 5 fingers, Bian seeing this motion knew he was asking for money "5 thousand for me to join the merchants?" Bian asked?

"Ha-ha, nice one kid. It's 5 million and you have to pay 2 weeks before they arrive." Bian was facing an immediate crisis, lack of money.

"Ok, also I'll need to know where to get some good weapons" he added.

"I'll throw in this one for free" the dealer responded and gave Bian the contact details of a man who specializes in forging z steel weapons.

'Is he the same one han sen met' thought Bian. "Alright one more question, when do the merchants arrive"

"In two months' time, that means you have 1 month and 2 weeks to pay the money" and just like the wind the merchant was gone.

"Now what am I gonna do" Bian contemplated his next move. 'I didn't want to resort to this'

From his past life Dave never like borrowing or owing anyone, so he finds it ridiculous that he has to take a loan.

In front of the office of money express, sponsored by starry group Bian was starting to have second thoughts on his decision.

"Welcome Master Manwei" a man in a business suit greeted, "if you'll come right this way and have a seat" he took him to an office and went to get some paperwork.

'To think I would spend less than 1 hour in the sanctuaries before coming back to the alliance to take a loan' Bian would have been more decisive but he remembered the face his mom made last night and decided to be rational.

The business man came back with a long ass 13-page contract. Bian glanced through it, he would borrow 100 million and is to pay back in two years' time, he checked the contract but saw nothing binding him to pay the money. Thinking he could make a steal he hastily signed the contract not noticing the subtle smile that formed on the business man's lips.

"Have a wonderful day master Manwei" as Bian was on his way out he realized he never told the man his name but brushed off this minor detail.

Calling the contact given to him by dealer he bought a custom made weapon, it looked like a sai but it didn't have the two bottom smaller spikes.

As Bian made his way back to the sanctuaries inside the business office, a group of businessmen were forming and binding contracts and there lay Bian's newly formed contract right beside another contract, the name on this contract was Manwei Lan.

Back in the sanctuaries Bian decided to join a team of newcomers like himself to hunt basic creatures in groups of three. The fee was Fifty thousand per hunt, the reason why many don't partake. The rich have their personal entourage while the poor can't afford it.

Bian, Zing and Gyu were selected to be in a team. Every two teams were under the supervision of a master of sorts who would not interfere in their hunt except their lives were threatened.

In the forest just beside glory shelter home to basic and primitive beasts Gyu spotted something moving in the grass.

He signaled for Bian to move right, Zing to move left while he walked towards the Bush. A Squirrel with brown fur and red stripes rushed out towards Zing, who panicked and while flailing his weapon damaged the right eye of the squirrel.

It panicked and wanted to run but then, it saw Gyu catching up to it so it ran in Bian's direction. Gyu and Zing were surprised when they looked over, Bian was gone. As the squirrel ran past a tree Bian struck down from the right and heard an announcement in his head.

[Ordinary creature striped squirrel killed. No beast soul gained. Eat the striped squirrel to gain zero to ten ordinary geno points randomly]

"I did it" Bian was euphoric, his first kill. The rule of the hunts was simple, if you landed the last strike you keep the beast soul and the entire carcass of the beast. This was done to ensure competition was present and prevent laziness.

He kept the squirrel in the bag he brought and continued the hunt. After a day of hunting he killed three striped squirrel, Zing killed one and Gyu killed five due to his keen insight.

Already feeling famished after Bian got home he dressed the meat of the squirrels and ate two for dinner. 

"Flesh of striped squirrel eaten. One ordinary geno point gained."

As he took his last bite he checked his progress

Bian Manwei: Not evolved.

Status: None.

Life span: 200 years.

Required for evolution: 100 geno points.

Geno points gained: 17.

Beast souls gained: none.

Bian went to sleep and in the morning he ate the last squirrel for breakfast.

[Flesh of striped squirrel eaten. One ordinary geno point gained.]

[Flesh of striped squirrel eaten. One ordinary geno point gained.]

He gained a total of eight geno points bringing his ordinary geno point tally to twenty-five.

Feeling his strength increase he put his hand on his chest to calm his heart which was beating fast rapidly.

"This is reality" he told himself. "I can't wait to get my hands on the super gene."
