Li Na has recieved a drug Lord system. This system will help her become the best drug lord in the world. let us see how she begin to become the best drug seller that the world have ever seen

After their interaction and Barney still not fully believing that this red hair individual could be an Lord Hero they decided to travel together as Barney was planning to travel towards Sanlow to buy a new staff as his old one has recently gotten destroyed during his travels and Ozan grudgingly agree on going to Sanlow but decided to keep his profile low and hope no one in that town recognizes him as he remembers a  years back Sanlow and his hometown who are both rivals had an Ale making competition to see which town has the best ale in this side of the Warizar Kingdom and last year Ozan's town has won the competition. As Both of them went out of the forest and reached towards it and the town was beautifully filled with people mostly Humans as well some Demi-Human races spreading throughout the town's landscape and shops filling the streets as well small markets and children running around and having fun. As the two of them went into a shop and Ozan decided it wouldn't hurt for him to buy a few supplies for his travels, Barney decided to look around the shop to see if it had any good magical staff.

Ozan:"What do you have for sale?"

The Man running the shop put away the many weapons he had onto shelves which were bows swords as well axes of many shapes and different sizes for individuals who have certain skill for different types of those three weapons and looked towards Ozan and said,"Oh but the finest wares and woes my dear si- Wait a minute have I seen you before?" Ozan quickly became alert and didn't want to face the guy's wrath if he knew Ozan was from his town's rival after all both towns take real pride in their ale and will be filled with battered pride and wrath towards anyone who is from a town that has a rivalry against theirs. But ubenkowest to Ozan this shop seller has a more personal experience with Ozan then competitiveness between towns.In order to avoid possible embarrassment Ozan hid behind Barney and told the shop seller to interact with him first. 

The Man shaked his head and decided to ignore this familiar and strange red head with scars on his body  and looked towards this Angelic individual radiating holy light throughout his skin and the Man eyes turned to greed and admiration 

Shop Seller:"Aw tell me your name my angelic friend as You must be an Aasimar bless the gods and Guardians as me seeing such an individual means a good omen will come in my life." 

Barney:"The name is Bernard Le-"

Shop Seller:"Nice to meet you Bernard and for meeting such a fine race like you I will give you an 50% discount on all my weaponry and armory in this store."

Barney became a bit surprised at the sudden discount as well the fast talking pace this shop seller was talking and decided to go with what he is saying and accept his generosity 

Barney:"Well I want a staff." 
Shop Seller:"Well there in the left of my Shop And Each of them are good for any kind of Mage."
After saying this he kept on talking and talking a bit more and leading some compliments as well explaining how his store is one of the best in this world and that everything here is best for any person or race  on the planet with this Shop seller's explanation and complimentary attitude Barney started believing  what the man was saying and decided to buy a bit more stuff while he is still in this shop and started looking around for an good staff to take. After Barney went to the staff aisle, The Man looked directly at Ozan,"Well aren't you a particular one you kinda remind me of someone let me think here." He said this while eyeing and  pondering Ozan's runic tattoos around his body.
Ozan:"Just tell me where I can find Holsters.<I hope he doesn't  remember who I am>

Then the Man suddenly got an warthful look in his eye and looked directly at Ozan and with a rough voice said,"Now I remember! You that Boy who caused my son to piss himself on  stage when showing off the town's ale last year!" Ozan then gain a flashback of when he was watching this man's son show off Sanlow's ale and how good it is and being tradition that the town with an teen of fourteen who is the youngest must show off the town's glory with the ale and when Ozan was going next to show off his runes started malfunctioning releasing mantra because of him having low tolerance for alcohol and the energy hit this man's sons bladder and cause it to explode and releasing all his urine on his pants. And Ozan looked worried when he recalled that event and felt like this man will probably start attacking him and he wasn't worried of getting hurt but he is worried that if he fought back he'll get arrested.

  An Uninspired Hero, A Monk with issues and an idiotic sorcerer were placed into situations that will forever change the world as their stories will be told for generations.

The words of Jim were strong and Rili felt some doubt towards this answer, yet he relayed it to the other end.
"The seller asks about a proof for all that," Rili relayed the answer he got from the seller. "This story is something the seller believes in, yet the seller needs proof to be sure of this."
Jim was about to answer yet the old man stopped him as he told him something else to say. "Providing the proof is easy for me, yet this info is considered much higher in value than a single token," Jim said while Rili went silent for a moment out of his shock.
"Are you sure you want to bargain on this?" Rili directly asked, "this token is very rare and much more precious than old info and meaningless proof."
"Yet when the proof hides a great treasure and secret inside, then its value will be much higher than a single token."
"What treasure? What secret?"
"Can't tell unless we agree on a fair deal."
Jim was just saying the words of his old man, while he didn't know if this info was worth what he just asked for.
"Alright, wait a moment then Mr. confident client," Rili then went silent before returning to say, "the seller asks for more info to assess the value of this deal."
Jim waited for the answer of his old man, and then he said: "What this seller can offer for a high grade info that could change someone's fate from being a snail to being a ferocious lion?"
Rili didn't have the answer and had to return back to the seller. "The seller says money isn't an issue, and rare items aren't. even a supreme token can be put on the table if the info is worth it."
The tone of Rili showed how shocked he was. "Good," Jim just needed to hear this before he said, "tell him there was a place where a pact was made. This pact was known once as the pact of honor between different races to defend this universe. The info I have is related to the place of this pact, where only the fairies and their trusted aiders have a sniff of that location. As for the treasure, your seller can run his imagination wild about the treasures hidden in such a place."
Jim said the exact words his old man said to him, yet he also knew from his old man that this wasn't the whole truth. That place was long swept clean by the last living fairies as they hid most of the treasures elsewhere.
Despite that, the place still held many lower treasures to fairies, which must be considered a fortune to others. And the pact was still there untouched.
"Alright, the seller agrees but there is one more request," Rili said in much excitement, "the seller wants to meet you face to face."
"Out of question," Jim instantly replied, "I won't meet up with anyone."
"But the seller is much curious about the source of your info," Rili said before adding, "the seller wants to have an established way to connect with you all the time for future deals."
"Then he can use you to reach me," Jim shrugged, "I intend to keep my ID secret for now."
"Despite this is wise, I can assure you this seller means no harm to you," Rili mysteriously said before adding, "I can't disclose any info about the seller or the buyer, but I can tell you for sure you might need the seller's help in the academy."
"Thanks," Jim had long decided about this point, "if he wants any future deals then he can reach you and you can find me easily when being here."
"But what will happen when you are in the academy?" Rili helplessly asked.
"I'll make sure to come here often, don't worry," Jim said before adding, "and if I didn't show up, you can leave me a message with any of my people asking me to meet you urgently."
This was the best Jim could do, and doing so wouldn't cause him many troubles. He still didn't know how his life inside the academy would be, and he just wanted to make sure not to lose his contact with that mysterious seller in the future.
"Is this your final answer?" Rili asked.
"Just tell him that," Jim nodded.
"Alright, but I have to tell you again… you are wasting such a golden chance buddie."
Jim just shrugged and waited for the seller's response. He wasn't that worried as he was pretty sure the seller wouldn't risk losing such a deal for nothing.
"Alright, the seller agrees," Rili said while adding, "the seller is putting a price starting from one of the rare treasures in the academy world or supreme token. What do you choose?"
"Supreme token of course," Jim instantly answered. "What's that token about?"
"I dunno and the seller refuses to say," Rili sighed, "you two are acting super suspicious and extra cautious in my opinion."
"No dire in being cautious," Jim shortly laughed, "alright tell him my decision and if he agrees then I'll tell you the specific location."
"But you need to know the seller has to confirm your info," Rili warned.
"What guarantee then to get my share?"
"I will establish a binding contract, and once your side of the deal is fulfilled, the seller will be obliged to pay what was promised."
'It's a fair deal,' the old man said.
"Alright, I agree if he agrees."
"Wait a moment."
Jim didn't need to wait for long this time, and when Rili came back, a parchment appeared in front of the whirlpool, flying in the air a couple of inches away from it.
"Please read this agreement and sign with your blood over your side," Rili said.
Jim took the parchment and read its content. Generally it was a contract binding him with the seller. Both had no names, and just he was referred to as a buyer there.
"It looks great," Jim said as he didn't find anything suspicious, and his old man confirmed the authenticity of this old contract.
Jim then sealed the contract with his blood before returning the parchment back to Rili. "Wait a second," Rili then went to silence before he returned back. "Done, now you have a small thread around your wrist, indicating the contract is active."
Jim checked his left wrist, the one he injured moments ago to seal the contract with, to find a small, semi-transparent silver thread hanging there.
"Alright, tell him to go to the old battlefield, the place where the Bulltors once built their temple. There he will find a buried cave in these coordinates. He has to dig there for one day before reaching the entrance to the sacred pact hall."
Jim then said many letters and numbers arranged strangely together before Rili said: "Alright, the thread will change color to red when the seller receives this date. When your part is authenticated, the color will return silver again. When the seller delivers, the color will turn golden before vanishing after you receive what is promised in the contract."
Jim nodded as he said, "Go and deliver what I said then return to me to speak about the second seller requirements."
"Ok," Rili then went to silence while Jim started to receive the data he would deliver to the next seller.
'Oho, it seems I'm destined to close to big deals today,' he laughed when he heard what his system said.

Xiao Chen did not know how long he fell asleep but he dreamed when he was still a child where he had become a mercenary with his friends, in front of him stood friends who were always with him in the joys and sorrows he still remembered as his best friend die in front of him


Xiao Chen: all of you are still alive, when he tried to get close to their figure away please don't go as much as Xiao Chen tried to reach him he couldn't reach it.


When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, it turned out that he saw the skyline of the plane, he tried to stabilize his emotions, after a few seconds his emotions stabilized

Xiao Chen: just another nightmare, I don't know how many hundred times he always saw nightmares about his friends

It was a mistake that Xiao Chen could not erase how many times he tried, his memory was still clear when his friends died in the hands of Satan and their souls were taken (TL: demons are different races from humans with the covator of darkness using souls / someone's spirit to increase his strength, this is the main opponent of the human race).


Xiao Chen looked down and there was a blanket covering his body, maybe Huang Lele gave him another blanket or flight attendant.


After a while there was the voice of the gari guide who approached the plane and it would land in 5 minutes and told the passengers to wear the safety belt that the flight attendant also checked one to ensure that the passengers used safety belts to avoid things that were not cold right.


When Huang catfish arrived in front of Xiao Chen Xiao Chen gave him a blanket.

Xiao Chen: Thank you very much for the blanket

Huang Catfish took a blanket with it embarrassed, Same as Jagan forgot to contact me when you bought a new cellphone

Smiling Xiao Chen said: well I will balance you for what I did earlier in the bathroom

When Xiao Chen mentioned the bathroom of Huang Lele's face immediately turned red and quickly walked in the middle and made Xiao Chen dumbfounded


Xiao Chen: Am I talking wrong again hemm woman is really a creature that doesn't make sense.

The plane finally landed successfully and the passengers immediately got up and came out when Xiao Chen saw Huang Lele in the distance Huang Lele blinked slyly after that he walked towards the opposite.

After leaving the airport Xiao Chen immediately looked for a taxi but everyone was ordered by someone else, finally Xiao Chen waited for another taxi, after a few minutes later a taxi arrived Xiao Chen immediately ran and entered the taxi

Where are your young people going? Asked the taxi driver

Please, if I am the best cellphone seller in the city, Spori doesn't ask much and immediately drives to the right cellphone.

20 minutes later Xiao Chen arrived at Xiao Chen shopping center down and paid to the driver in front of him there was a building that was the biggest shopping place in the city Xiao Chen langsuang just entered through the front door with lots of people passing by.


Xiao Chen tried to find a cellphone vendor but because it was too wide he found it very difficult, finally Xiao Chen asked the security guard and immediately headed in the direction told by the guard.

After a few minutes walking Xiao Chen saw a lot of cellphone shops on both sides of the road the day he found a suitable place and entered, when he entered he was greeted by women sellers in their


Can I help you with help? Ask the seller with a sweet smile

Xiao Chen: I want to buy a good cellphone in this store, Xiao Chen said nonchalantly
The seller just smiled and offered the latest and most up-to-date cellphone product right now this customer is a cool cellphone right now and told the cellphone's specification when Xiao Chen was listening Seriously someone was holding his arm.


When Xiao Chen turned he saw a woman weighing 200 Jin with transparent makeup holding his arm, Handsome let's play with me the woman said with Coquettish

Xiao Chen was disgusted and shook the woman's hand while saying sarcastically: go away I don't have time to deal with you.


Feeling humiliated the woman is angry: watch out the damn boy just wait you will crawl under my feet in a moment, then the woman leaves the place of sale with anger and hurry


Xiao Chen: please continue! The seller continued after Xiao Xiao finally bought the cellphone
After finishing activating the card and checking all the sellers' systems and hardware and handing the cellphone to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen paid in full and was about to leave but suddenly there were 4 hooligans standing at the door with the fat woman who had just been kicked out by Xiao Chen
That's him Ye's brother who has refused me. Said a fat woman with a cheerful expression


The bald man nick named Ye looked at Xiao Chen and ordered his men: quickly hit him and drag him to kneel here

The three hooligans immediately went forward and tried to hit Xiao Chen but how hooligans were comparable to Xiao Chen with only three moves from Xiao Chen to the three Holograms were beaten flying by Xiao Chen,


The three of them curled up while holding their diseased stomachs, a bald man named Ye took a knife and was about to stab Xiao Chen all the visitors who saw shouting Hysterically


But Xiao Chen easily dodged all the attacks of the bald man and kicked the hand holding the knife, the knife fell to the ground because the bald man did not have a weapon anymore he fought with his hands but he was beaten by Xiao Chen to fly a few meters and hit the glass.


The man's mouth was bleeding and some of his teeth were detached and he was pinned
Xiao Chen said to the seller: you can charge compensation for this hooligan, finally Xiao Chen left the place of sale no one dared to stop Xiao Chen for fear.


After a few minutes the guards came and asked the seller what happened to the seller and even then told everything that happened to the security guards the guards who heard it immediately brought the 4holigan to the office to answer their demands.

Xiao Chen is one of the Four Immortals Kings who has the strongest power & the lord of the western region of the 7-star Realm, One time to save the 7-star Realm and Galaxy he sealed himself and the demons with him. after he is free from seals. He was stranded on modern earth, witnessing the story of Xiao Chen to live a life on modern earth with various beautiful women

There was a knock on the door. I got up and opened the door, it was the room service; the lunch we had ordered had arrived. We had the food and then coffee. I love coffee, especially the coffee served in Bangalore's Coffee Stalls.
I told Naina, "You know, Coffee is the 3rd best drink in the world. It's a bit cold here, else I would have ordered the 2nd best drink – Lassi".
In my personal opinion Lassi is the 2nd Best, Coffee as the 3rd, Butter Milk as the 4th, Milk as the 5th and Fruit Juice as the 6th best drinks in the world. With that description, people are forced to ask about which drink he considers the best of them all. Usually, people think of Beer/Wine/Whisky/Rum. Naina fell for the same trick.
She couldn't resist and asked, "So, which is the best drink then?" I replied, "It is obvious isn't it? It's Water! The Elixir of life on earth."
I continued, "Most people think that I would name some alcoholic beverage as the best drink, but I don't drink that. I never have." That was a lie though. I had drunk Vodka – about 20 ml just to shut up some friends of mine who dared me to drink an alcoholic beverage. They didn't bother me after that.
Naina was a bit embarrassed and told me that she drinks occasionally. When she admitted to drinking, I really did not like that. To me alcohol and cigarette are evil breeders. That was the first time I felt – just for a moment – but there was a thought – we aren't met to be together. I discarded the thought with the reasoning that no one is perfect and it is her life. 
I wanted her to understand that I would prefer if she would not drink. But I didn't really want to impose my will on Naina. Trying to change her went against my concept of loving someone completely, but at the same time, I really try to avoid people who drink. So, I did what comes naturally to me. I thought may be, because of me she may just give it up. I started discussing about it logically, with facts. The following is what I explained-
"See Naina, I don't mind if you drink, but I don't and I would really prefer if you don't. But I know it is your personal choice. I will even go to DJs and Bars with you. I have been there with colleagues, but I won't drink, I don't drink. I may pick up a mock-tail or two but no alcoholic beverages. It is needed in countries or regions where the climate is cold to keep the body warm. In India, we have no such need. You already know it, it has so many harmful effects. And you know what happens to people who smoke or drink? They invest a lot of money buying such stuff. Then they need more income to get more alcohol. Their lives become dependent on it. To make up for the income, they work more and get stressed more and drink more! It is a vicious cycle. Many times such people also take up unethical practices, since their normal income is not sufficient. That is why I don't drink."
Naina replied, "Abhay, it is not like I am addicted. I drink occasionally. Even my family knows. However, I promise you, I will not drink from now on!"
I smiled, and kissed her, this time, on her sweet & soft lips. It was a soft kiss. She kissed me back. I couldn't help myself but say, "I love you, princess". 
Naina blushed and hugged me tightly. I was reminded of an image I had seen on Facebook which read - 'One day, someone is going to hug you so tight, that all of your broken pieces will stick back together.' When she hugged me back, I had the exact same feeling.
We continued our conversation, and shared stories, even about our Ex-s. Naina showed me a couple of images. One of which was the pic of a beautiful Necklace which she wanted to buy, but haven't found it in any shop yet. I smiled.
She said she was getting bored. She had told me that she loved the character of Dean Winchester (played by Jensen Ackles) in the Hollywood Series Supernatural and honestly, I love Supernatural and the Dean character too. I told her that we could watch the Supernatural Series since she hadn't yet seen the Season 10. I also offered to watch other movies on the laptop but she refused. She had other plans. Naina asked me to go for a walk with her, since it was more than a day they had spent in that room. I smiled again, and started to get ready.
I asked her to take a bath and also informed her the bathroom's lock wasn't working. Naina went inside the bathroom and came out within seconds. She had realized that the lock indeed didn't work. She asked me to fix it. I expressed my inability to do so and said half-jokingly – "Don't worry, it's just me here. And I am not going to peek inside. Trust me!" She went inside and came out again. I could feel her hesitation and said, "Trust me, I promise, just have a bath." I had no intention of breaking that promise.
We finally got out of the hotel, hand in hand we walked together.
First, we went on to have some snacks. She ordered 3 items and wasn't happy with either of them. To me it felt ok. She asked me how I could eat that. I told her, ���I come from a small town Naina. I remember the hard times. Food is food after all. We should respect that. And honestly, it is not so bad. Let me tell you, one day in the future, people will fight and die for the food they throw away today. In fact, in many countries like Haiti, people eat mud-rice balls. Since they don't have food, they mix rice and mud and eat it. I have experienced poverty first hand, and whenever possible, I try not to waste food. Don't get me wrong. You have your taste buds and stuff and I am not saying that you should eat any harmful food just because you ordered it. But we should respect the food that we get."
"I don't know how can you annoy me and make me respect you at the same time", said Naina.
"Well, it is an art", I teased her.
I wanted to buy some medicine for my asthma, but the medical store was the other way. Naina insisted on continuing in the direction they were already walking. Her logic was that there must be some medical store in this direction too.
We kept walking until we reached the MG Road. Naina told me that she had been planning to visit MG Road to do some shopping. She had heard that one can get good clothes and stuff for daily use for reasonable price. I on the other hand, wanted to buy some gift for my "Bhabhi" (Ram's bride, i.e., Smita) [Bhabhi in Hindi means sister-in-law]. We had attended the wedding, but yet had to attend the Reception, which was to take place in Goa.
I wanted Naina's help to select a gift for Smita and told her the same. Naina told me that she would be happy to help, but without knowing a girl's background, it was not going to be easy. I said, "Just select whatever you like, and I will gift the same."
On the way, I saw a Pan-Seller...
I am fond of 'Meetha-Pan'. Pan is a mouth-freshener available in different tastes and varieties in India. Meetha-Pan means Sweet-Pan which does not contain any tobacco or Supari. I stopped to have one. I am very much interested in human psychology and I have been told by many people that I have an aura & electrifying charm which helps me make instant friends and even followers. Naina had asked me to demonstrate the same, so I signaled Naina to get ready. I was going to be-friend the Pan-Seller in less than a minute.
I ate the Pan, and liked it genuinely. So, I said – "Bhaiya (brother), your pan tastes better than Banarsi Pan, I loved it." The Pan-Seller was taken aback! He replied, "Sir this is Banarsi pan. I am from Prayagraj". Abhay replied, "Ohk! That's how you can make such an amazing Pan. Even I am from a town near Prayagraj, and she's Naina. She has done her engineering at Lucknow". [Banaras, Prayagraj & Lucknow are cities in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh]
This was more than sufficient for the Pan-Seller to open up. He told them his whole life's story, in short. He was a Lawyer and had worked in a private organization, where illegal practices were going on. He had raised his voice and was fired, because the top brass decided to protect their favorites and also because the top brass were themselves involved in illegal and criminal activities. The Pan-Seller sold the Pan only as his hobby!
I thanked the Pan-Seller and told a bit about my own story. Then I left with Naina. Naina was amazed. She asked me – "So what's the trick?"
I smiled and then explained, "See Naina, most people think it's a trick. It is not. There are two things that I did. One, I genuinely appreciate his work, his creation – the Sweet Pan. These days people criticize more and appreciate less. Those who appreciate stand out. But note that I am not talking about flattery or buttering, but genuine appreciation. Number two, I made a connection with him, by talking about his native place. For him, Bangalore is still a foreign land. Saying that I was from the same region as him, made him feel connected to me, and so he opened up. Icing on the cake was the fact that you have studied at Lucknow. You know that I have studied and lived-in various parts of India, hence it is easy for me to establish a local-connection with people."
Naina asked, "Hmm, but what if he had said that he is from Jaipur?"
I replied, "See in that case, I would have told him that I have been to Jaipur and talk about places in Jaipur. If he would have named a city that I haven't yet been to, I would have asked him about his city and mention anything I would have read or studied about it."
I continued, "Now that you have joined Human Resources and that too into Recruitment, you must learn these things too".
"I am learning from the best, you know", Naina grinned. I laughed.
We kept crossing shops after shops and a couple of show-rooms and malls.
Finally, we decided to enter the Pantaloons Show-room.

'But the problem is. HOW AM I GOING TO GET 100 DRINKS IN 5 MONTHS?'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'I forgot to ask the tavern keeper a lot of questions.... Where am I? I mean, the name of this place, I don't know anything
From here and I'll have to turn around now, my only chance to know so many things....
When I mentioned magic, they didn't find it strange, so I can already rule out the possibility that this world has no magic...
A taffy boiled by the best magician... I wonder if I can do fire magic? Or something like that?
After a futile attempt to use magic...
It seems that I was not provided with magical abilities...
Even if I have 750 coins, I don't know how the price is here, how much an average citizen earns.'
Looks like there is a stall selling fruit over there, I'll check the price.
Hello' I see the merchant turn his head to me and speak
Vendor: '' What do you want? '' He looks exasperated as he speaks to me...
''I wish an apple from your division
Seller: ''That will cost a total of 30 silver coins! '' ''Why is he, is he so exasperated?
Seller: ''Here is your coin
Seller: ''You gave me a gold one, wouldn't it be a silver one?
No, it would be a gold one
Salesman: ''Here's your change and get out of here! ''
He gave me... 70 silver coins, so 100 silver coins are worth 100 gold coins, so it looks like the old man gave me a big
Sponsorship with those coins.
30 silver for 1 mace, I guess that's cheap, huh?
I wonder if I can buy an armor of the gods with that? But I don't think it will do much good against all this country.
I'll see how much a mercenary costs, I might even be able to get a mage to help me...
'
''Hi, are you a mercenary? ''
Unknown: ''Yes, Egar the best swordsman in Azhidorv at your disposal, for a certain amount of money of course...''
500 gold coins and my sword will be at your disposal...
'Fuck 500 gold coins, is he some kind of demigod?'
''Are you a mercenary? ''
Unknown: ''I am, Triann Rock-Breaker the best warrior in Azhidorv at your disposal, 750 gold coins is what I accept. ''
'Better not, I would say'
'500 coins and the other for 750, you can't pay a mercenary and get ingredients with that, I can't handle swords, I don't know how to use magic, mercenaries cost too much, I think I've gone too far wrong, all the exits from the city are guarded, and according to what the old man said, all the guards are subordinates of those elves' family, I can't risk an escape, but I can't waste time with only 5 months left, I need an excuse to get out of here soon'
When amidst a pile of problems I find a poster that brings me perhaps my last hope.

*The North Azhidorv School of Magic*
The school of mages north of Azhidorv has openings for new mages who wish to learn the art of magic, if you are interested, take the carriage from the Azhidorv stables on the way out of town and secure your place.
'I wonder if I can pay for the place and get away halfway. I don't know the price, but I guess that's better than nothing.'

Death, cold, the only thing I think of, is a name, a friend? A special person? My journey in Azhidorv has begun, and I am alone, on my own, the more I think, the more regrets I feel, Sithmor, I will find you.

Gravis smiled. "So, I can afford the scanner, huh?" he asked.
The seller nodded. "Yep. You can also afford something else that costs about as much. You have some pretty rare stuff there. Though, just because it's rare doesn't mean that it's useful. Rare resources from the lower world are the best materials for the Spirit Forming Realm, but nearly useless for the Unity Realm."
Gravis nodded. "I can understand that. Though, these premium resources for the Spirit Forming Realm are probably worth quite a bit for stronger people that want to get some equipment for their children, right?"
The seller laughed a bit. "Exactly, but I still need to travel quite a distance. I'm going to be honest here with you. I will sell these resources with a profit of ten times, but I have to travel to the relevant regions first."
Gravis lifted an eyebrow. "Ten times is quite a bit. It almost seems like you're trying to scam me."
The seller snorted. "The problem is that you can't find people interested in those items here. Everyone that's here either has powerful strength or a huge background. In order to sell this stuff, I need to travel to the outer fringes of the world. Do you have any idea how far away this is and how much it will cost me?"
Gravis sighed and shook his head.
"When I sell all your stuff, and I mean ALL your stuff, I would have only made a profit of two times. It's also a risk and time sink for me to travel to these regions and sell it. After all, supply is one thing, but we also need demand. That's how business works. What use are these resources if I can't find someone interested in it?"
Gravis sighed. Everything the seller said made sense. He had no way of finding out how much these resources were actually worth, so, even if the seller scammed him, Gravis had no other choice. He didn't have the luxury of time.
Also, he doubted that he would even have the resources to travel to the lands where such resources had a demand. He doubted that the teleportation department accepted every piece of rubble as long as it was worth something. They probably only accepted some kind of hard currency, and Gravis was pretty sure that he had none of that.
"Alright. I accept," Gravis said.
The seller smiled. "Good choice. Now, go choose something with similar value to the scanner, and then we can exchange."
Gravis quickly looked around, and he had found something else that was also quite interesting to him. "I'm taking that," he said as a ring floated over to him.
"Good choice!" the seller said with a smile. "As it says on the sign, this is a Life Ring. It can theoretically store any beast below the Immortal Realm, but it depends on if they willfully enter or are forced to. The deciding factor is your Will-Aura, which is incredibly powerful for your level, by the way."
Gravis looked at the ring. "So, if a beast enters willingly, I can just keep them inside as long as they are below the Immortal Realm?" Gravis asked.
The seller nodded. "Yes, but they can also exit whenever they want if they enter that way. If you want to force a beast into the ring, you need to activate the Formation Array. It will use your Spirit as a resource and your Will-Aura as suppression. In general, your Will-Aura needs to be one Major Realm higher than the beast's Realm."
The seller pointed at Gravis. "So, in your case, you should be barely able to capture a low-grade Unity Beast."
Gravis' furrowed his brows when he heard that. "But I only have a level three Unity Will. Wouldn't that still be considered to be inside the Unity Realm?" he asked.
The seller raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Level three Unity Will? What's that?" he asked.
Gravis realized that his knowledge about classifications for Will-Auras came from the lower world. His homeworld probably had a different classification system. "Sorry, that's the classification for Will-Auras from the lower world I came from. What's the classification here?"
The seller realized what Gravis meant. "Oh, no problem. The second condensation of a Will-Aura is called an Equalization Will because its main purpose is to unite and equalize your centers of power."
Gravis scratched his chin in thought. "Equalize? Does it have something to do with the Nascent Nourishing Realm, which you have also called Equalization Realm?" he asked.
The seller smirked. "Nice deduction. Correct, the Equalization Will is there to connect the centers of power and to shift the power around in them. It basically goes through two major Realms, the Unity Realm, and the Nascent Nourishing Realm."
Gravis furrowed his brows again. "But my Will-Aura is already compressed to about 0.1% of its initial size. Shouldn't I be near the end of the Equalization Will then?"
The seller laughed a bit and shook his head. "Kid, you're underestimating the possible compression of your Will-Aura. Your Equalization Will will continue to compress until it is only big enough to suppress the Spirit Space of someone else. You can see your own massive brain from your Spirit Space, so you should know how small your Spirit Space is."
Gravis thought about it and realized that the seller was right. The compression of his Unity Will didn't take the compression of the volume into account, but the radius. The radius was decreasing with the compression. So, the initial radius of Gravis' Will-Aura was 600 meters, which would become 0.6 meters if he compressed it fully.
Yet, the Spirit Space inside Gravis' brain was a bit smaller than a millimeter. He would need to compress it down to another three digits, to around 0.0006 meters, which would be 0.6 millimeters. When Gravis finished his math, he realized that he was a small bit over the halfway mark of compression. There was still a long way to go.
"So, my Will-Aura is equal to a new Nascent Nourishing Realm cultivator then?" Gravis asked.
The seller nodded. "Yep, but that's only theoretically," he said, confusing Gravis again.
"What do you mean with theoretically?" Gravis asked.
"You don't need a powerful Will-Aura to reach the Nascent Nourishing Realm," the seller explained.
Gravis' eyes widened. "I don't?" he asked, shocked.
"Nope. It's one of the few Realms that don't need a Will-Aura. Most people call the Nascent Nourishing Realm also the Willless Realm, because you don't need to temper your will to reach it."
The seller sighed. "To be honest with you, your Will-Aura is even stronger than mine, even though I am already at the middle Stage of Nascent Nourishing. I'm kind of envious."
Gravis was, again, shocked. This powerful person that could slap him to death with ease had a weaker will than him? This felt almost unreal.
"Anyway, let's get on with the trade!" the seller said with a smile. Then, the scanner and the Life Ring flew over to Gravis. "Bring them into your Spirit Space first," he said.
Gravis knew why the seller would offer the wares first. He was the stronger of the two, and if he demanded payment first, he could just leave. He was giving Gravis the wares first to show his honest business attitude.
Whoop!
Gravis pocketed the two items, and the seller nodded. "Alright. Now, just summon these things. You don't need to worry about them falling due to their weight. I can hold them easily," the seller said as he transmitted a picture of the stuff that he wanted.
Gravis summoned everything, and for a short time, a massive pile of items appeared. Yet, just as they appeared, they vanished again. Gravis hadn't even seen them before they were already gone. The seller had exquisite control over his Spirit.
Like this, Gravis' Spirit Space was nearly empty. He could only see his two nearly broken sabers, his two new items, Heaven's body, and some scattered miscellaneous items that the seller wasn't interested in.
Whoop!
The shop vanished. "Alright. I'm heading off to sell your stuff. This should be faster than waiting here forever for another customer. It was nice doing business with you, kid," the seller said.
Gravis was surprised that the seller immediately closed his shop as soon as their trade was finished, but he didn't mind it. "Sure. Thank you," Gravis said.
The seller waved once more and then shot off into the distance. He was definitely much faster than Gravis.
Now, Gravis was alone again. He looked once more at the Sky Community, but after knowing that it hid such danger, he decided against going there. It was time to visit his parents.
With a smile, Gravis lowered himself to the city again.
"HALT!" an imposing shout appeared as a guard from the city teleported in front of him. "Your Realm is too weak to enter the city!" the guard stated.
Gravis blinked his eyes in surprise a bit. "I'm a Research Adept. I'm allowed into the city," he said.
"Show your emblem as proof," the guard said.
"What do you mean, show my emblem? It's right here…" Gravis said, but then he opened his eyes wide in shock.
His Research Adept emblem was gone! It was not on his body and also not in his Spirit Space!
Gravis immediately looked in the direction where the seller left. No wonder he had been so friendly and forthcoming in his trade. He was never interested in his wares.
That dick was only interested in stealing his emblem!


With a father as strong as the highest heavens themselves, Gravis wasn't required to step into the cold and ruthless world of cultivation.

But when Heaven used him in a scheme to get back at his father, Gravis realized that he needed strength to gain true freedom.

As long as he remained his weak self, he would always remain beneath Heaven’s oppression. Only true power brings true freedom.

To gain strength, Gravis ventured into the lower worlds to start his cultivation under true life and death tempering. 

Only a strong will, which had been forged in striving for every resource available, would allow him to reach the peak.

Heaven’s strongest weapon was Lightning of Divine Punishment, and only if he made this weapon his, would he have a chance.

So, to overthrow Heaven,

Lightning Is the Only Way!

Yet, the path to power is painful. 

Not everyone reaches the peak.

But Gravis will!

No matter how much pain he feels along the way!

Munich, Germany.

Iris, Jin Liwei, Maestro Ludovico De Luca and Professor Kalisha Schwarz boarded Enrique Valdez's private jet. The flight to Munich was short, only a little more than an hour.

After disembarking from the jet, they were chauffeured to the charming historical Old Town. They checked in at a five-star Asian hotel, booking three suites for their group. Iris and Jin Liwei shared one, Maestro De Luca and Enrique Valdez another, while Professor Schwarz had an entire suite to herself.

Since the group consisted of prominent figures, the hotel gave them the best suites and service. As an Asian hotel, of course they immediately recognized Jin Liwei. His presence even prompted the hotel's general manager to come out and greet them personally. 

The hotel staff was curious about the beautiful woman beside Jin Corporation's President-CEO, but they didn't want to get on Jin Liwei's bad side so they controlled themselves. They didn't recognize that it was Iris Long. She still wasn't famous enough outside China.

After settling in at their own suites, they went their separate ways. 

Maestro De Luca headed to the historic opera house a walking distance away from the hotel where the orchestra concert would be held. He wanted to check the venue first and meet with his orchestra. Iris was a last-minute guest performer for one solo piece and another one with the orchestra, so she only needed to join them for rehearsal the next day.

Enrique Valdez went to meet some of his friends living in the city to drink some beer and go clubbing in the evening.

Iris and Jin Liwei followed Professor Schwarz. This was her home country before she moved to England. The professor toured the lovers around the beautiful town where the medieval and the modern melded together.

After walking around and taking pictures, they went to a bustling street market. Jin Liwei kept Iris close to him, protecting her from the crowd bumping against them. Professor Schwarz expertly weaved through the people, leading them deeper into the market. Of course, they bought souvenirs and other goodies along the way.

While Jin Liwei was paying for an impressive ship in a bottle, Iris' attention was caught by a stall across them. She tilted her to the side, observing first, before giving in to her curiosity and walking towards it.

"Baby? Where are you going? Wait for me," Jin Liwei called out, but she didn't hear him because of the place's noise.

"Don't worry, I'll go with her. Follow us when you're done," Professor Schwarz told him after she finished her own purchases.

He nodded.

Iris arrived in front of the stall. Different kinds of liquids and creams in glass bottles and jars were displayed. The packaging didn't look appealing, but Iris' intuition urged her to look more closely.

The stall wasn't as busy compared to the souvenir shops around it, but there were quite a number of local women who dropped by to buy some of the liquids and creams. They looked like regular customers based on how they interacted with the seller. Iris immediately noticed that all of them had bright, glowing skin.

After taking care of a customer, the female seller made eye contact with Iris. She was a cheery blonde woman in her thirties. Smiling, she greeted Iris in German. 

"Welcome! Beautiful lady, are you a tourist? You've come to the right place! We sell the best homemade skincare products in entire Germany. If you buy and use our products, I guarantee that you'll become even more beautiful! We sell lotions, moisturizers, cleansers, toners, masks and other good stuff to improve your skin!"

Iris picked up a random bottle. "What is this? Can you also tell me what's in it and how it can improve my skin?"

The seller's eyes widened at Iris' perfect German. It was even more perfect and formal than her own German which was tinged by her native tongue, a local dialect. Then she smiled and began promoting the product in Iris' hand.

"That is our special night cream. It not only moisturizes and soothes your skin, it also boosts collagen production and cell renewal. What's more, it has effective anti-aging properties!" 

She then proceeded to explain that all the ingredients used in their products were 100% natural and pure which underwent chemical changes through naturally occurring biological processes, not synthetic ones. She also raved about using secret technology she developed with her brother to increase the effectiveness and longevity of the ingredients for better results while maintaining their gentle qualities.

"Xiulan, my dear. Don't believe everything she says," Professor Schwarz said when she arrived beside Iris. "These people will say anything to sell their products. Just look at these shabby bottles. You might ruin your skin if you try them. Let's go, my dear."

"Madame, I'm not lying. Everything I said is true." The seller defended her products, but still maintained a friendly tone. Though there was an insulted look in her eyes.

Iris just smiled. "Give me one of everything."

The seller blinked, while Professor Schwarz frowned.

"What?" The seller thought that she must be hearing things. There were at least thirty kinds of different products in her stall right now.

Iris tilted her head to the side. "You don't want to sell?"

"I want! Of course! Right away, Miss! I'll wrap everything nicely for you! I'll even give you discount!"

The seller moved fast, her hands flashing as she packed one of everything. She wanted to finalize the sale before the customer changed her mind.

"My dear, tell me why you're doing this." Professor Schwarz didn't understand her.

"I just feel curious, Professor."

The professor only sighed, shaking her head. She thought that her student was wasting her money on such garbage products.

Jin Liwei also arrived by their side and asked what was happening. The professor told him. He didn't say anything. He wouldn't say anything even if his baby girl decided that she wanted to buy the entire street market. He would even buy it for her if she let him.

When everything was packed, the seller gave Iris not only a discount but some extra products as well. She was nervous because the total price was considerable. She was worried that the customer would balk after seeing the price. However, she didn't need to worry because the people in front of her didn't even bat their eyes.

"Let me pay this," Jin Liwei offered.

Iris shook her head, handing him her wallet instead. It would be faster if he was the one who counted the banknotes. She wasn't really used to handling physical money, especially in a foreign country.

With a small sigh at her rejection, he paid the purchases with her money. Then he carried the bags, only allowing his baby girl to carry the lightest ones.

Before they left, Iris asked the seller, "Are you here every day? What time do you usually open your stall?"

"No, I'm not here every day and the time varies. However, if you need more products, you can order from me directly. If you want, I can have it delivered to you or you can pick it up here. Oh, here's my business card! Feel free to contact me anytime!" 

"Okay." Iris tucked the card inside her bag.

That night at their hotel suite, Jin Liwei was busy working on his laptop. Although Grandpa Lu stepped in as acting President-CEO, there were still some matters that needed Jin Liwei to personally inspect.

Iris took a shower by herself and used some of the skincare products she bought earlier. Her eyes lit up because they smelled good, like actual fruits and flowers. She didn't really notice any improvements on her skin right after using them. She knew she was taking a gamble because they might ruin her skin, but she had a good feeling about them.

It was in the next morning when she noticed a difference. Her skin felt softer and suppler. She couldn't stop touching her face.

"Hmm…" She took the seller's business card and studied it.

Jin Liwei woke up when he felt her move. The first thing he saw was his baby girl thinking deeply. She looked so cute!

"Morning, baby. What're you doing?"

She smiled at him. "Good morning. Oh, I was just thinking about a business idea. If everything goes well, I might soon have my own company."

A world-famous hacker and daughter of the most powerful criminal family who ruled the international underworld for many generations is killed when their organization is annihilated in a single night.

She is reborn into the body of Iris Long, a teenage pop singer, wild party girl, and spoiled brat. For the former princess of the underworld who lived an overprotected and shackled life, this new life is a chance to finally live the life of freedom and independence that she always wanted.

When the infamous Iris Long, who used to chase his younger brother, wakes up from a year-long coma, his unfeeling heart moves for the first time and he falls hard for this unexpected genius girl.

She wants to fly freely and soar high beyond the sky. He wants her everything, to tie her to himself and to never let her go.

This is her journey to super stardom. This is his journey in accompanying her. Together, they will rock the world while facing many challenges.

But what will happen when she discovers that she can never escape from the shadows of her previous life? Will she still be able to live her dream life of freedom and independence? Will he be able to protect her from the dangers?
