Desainer kepala SI Corporation yang terkenal, Xiao Yu, masih muda, menjanjikan, dan penuh dengan bakat. Tetapi siapa yang mengira bahwa surga akan cemburu dengan kejeniusan kepahlawanan ini ?! Setelah bangun dari kecelakaan mobil, dia tiba-tiba terlahir kembali sebagai hamster!

Zhang Yun is a gaming hamster. For a special mission in the Lost Kingdom, he has been a hamster for ten years. To his surprise one day, the game suddenly announces that the server will be permanently going offline just as he's about to complete the mission…

However, at the moment the game goes permanently offline, he actually brings the game system to an alternate world. He also brings along everything in his inventory, including his hundred million summoning scrolls.

Uh?

For a ten-year hamster to become rich overnight, what worries does he have at conquering the alternate world?

Ah, I'm sorry. You're mistaken. I don't want to fight. I just want to be a silent hamster…

Zhang Yun has a habit of hoarding stuff in games. For the sake of a special quest in the game 'Lost Kingdom', he's been hoarding all kinds of items for ten years straight. Just as he's on the verge of completing that quest, suddenly there comes an announcement that the server will be taken offline.
And then, at the moment of shutdown, he's transported into the game world, along with everything in his inventory... including one hundred million summoning scrolls.
Huh?
Ten years hoarding all this loot... every challenge rendered moot?
Ah, but please, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not looking for any trouble--just a quiet little hoarder, nothing more...

An unlikely team, Snake and Hamster, put their heads together to escape the pet store on the only day of the year there is no staff; Christmas.

A one-shot for a writing prompt - target length 1k words.

*Early morning, three days later.*
Shi Mu trotted alone to the rolling mountains where he had previously hunted wild animals. He was carrying a huge parcel with him, which was about half the height of an average man. He climbed seven or eight hilltops without resting, and eventually found himself on the periphery of a bamboo forest. It seemed to be unusually verdant, shining with an emerald green lustre.
It took him a full hour to fully investigate the bamboo forest, spread across an area of about 17 acres. He put that huge parcel down gently only after he had found the traces left by his target. He then began fumbling to take out a rather small shovel and started digging a pit trap in the nearby ground. 
Strangely enough, his movements of digging the pit were excessively cautious. It seemed as if he was afraid of attracting attention.
In this way he was able to finish the digging of a water jar sized pit only by noon. The pit was several meters in depth.
Shi Mu then took out some bottles and jars from the parcel, and dropped an unknown powder and some fluids into the pit. He covered the pit entirely with twigs, and added many bamboo leaves to the surface. He scattered some mud onto the pit, finally finishing his arrangement, having laid a delicate trap.

Shi Mu seemed quite content as he observed his arrangement from every angle, and a trace of a smile flashed across his face. 

He had learned the arrangement of the trap as well as how to make the powder and fluids from “Zhong Gong Mi Dian”, which contained the secret arts of the Zhong clan. His confidence of conquering his target would have been low in the absence of these skills, despite his ability to manage seven cuts in one movement.
He gauged the time by looking up at the sun, high in the sky, and then fished out a paper ball without hesitating. There was mysterious golden coloured dough inside it.
Shi Mu emptied out the fluids contained in a small bottle.
Immediately, an overpowering and indescribable fragrance began wafting through the air. 

“I hope that this secret bait recipe from the old hunter in the city will turn out to be useful. Otherwise, the thirty-two liang of silver I paid for this material would be a waste.”
Shi Mu murmured to himself as he shook his wrist, sending the golden dough down into the middle of the trap.
He then took out a black wooden knife and a rather large emerald green cloak to cover himself up. He threw the parcel behind a huge rock and walked back to his trap. He then lowered his body to the ground and lay flat beside the trap, becoming as still as he could be.
From a distance, the ground where the trap had been set up was completely flat, and nothing strange could be seen.
Shi Mu held his breath as he lay still on the ground, and the warm air that puffed out of his nostrils was thin enough to be invisible. He barely blinked his eyes as he stared hard at the bamboo wood. The information he had obtained flashed through his mind once more.

The golden hamster, also known as the medicine-hunting hamster, was a unique animal found only in Quan Zhou. It was a variation of the common piebald mountain mouse which would bite its brood siblings to death as soon as it was born. In its third month, golden fur would begin to appear on its back. After this, it would achieve the ability to find and take some herbs needed to advance to a higher level.
After a year, the golden hamster would reach its age of maturity, and its talent would be awakened. This would enable it to find rare herbs without any difficulty. Hence, it was considered that possessing a tamed golden hamster was equivalent to living with a born master of herbs, who could seek rare medicine. However, although it was worth an enormous amount of money, the hamster could rarely be found in the market. This was because few would be willing to sell their medicine-hunting masters, even if they did have one.
Shi Mu had found one by accident when he chased a wild fox all the way to the edge of the bamboo forest. He was overjoyed at finding one of these hugely famous animals of Quan Zhou.

However, he had been too cautious to take immediate action at that time.
Though the golden hamster did not belong to the rank of holy animals, it was still capable of deceiving many. It seemed to vanish into thin air by dashing at the speed of lightening, keeping its shadows invisible. Because of its inherent vigilance, it would be nearly impossible to catch it again if it wasn’t caught in the first attempt. 

During this period, every time Shi Mu came to the hilltop to practice, he went out of his way to observe this gold hamster’s routine.
By now his progress had reached a point where he could do seven cuts in one movement, using his ‘Thirteen Series of Gale Force Knife’ Art. Moreover, he had also learned the trap, as well as the bait-making method from “Zhong Gong Mi Dian”. Therefore, he had finally made up his mind to putting his plan into action today.

*****

At the time when Shi Mu was finishing laying out the trap to hunt the golden hamster, something else was happening inside the hall of the Jin Gang martial arts club in Feng City. A sandy-haired elder was angrily reproaching Wang Tian Hao, who stood in front of him.

“What tricks are you playing this time? I had asked you to find a girl to marry from the Jin Family, not to beat up and pick a fight with the youngsters of the Jin Family!”

“Uncle Xu, how could you blame me for beating them? Those guys asked me to instruct their arts themselves. It’s just that I lost some control of myself. But as far as their skills are concerned, no Jin other than Shi Yu Huan is capable of withstanding even my first strike. They turned out to be a pack of good-for-nothing idlers, wasting half of my day!” Wang Tian Hao stretched himself with a yawn, displaying an air of complete carelessness.

“You bastard, the Jin Family is Wang Family’s ally in Quan Zhou! Who told you to attack them instead of looking at their girls? Well, well, now I will have to clear up your mess myself by going to their manor to apologize to their head. From now on you are supposed to just stay here and practice your Blazing Spear. Before you accomplish the next stance of the Blazing Spear Art, you are confined to the club!” Elder Xu ordered as he stared at Wang Tian Hao with his eyes wide open.  He found it rather difficult to handle his nephew.

“I don’t care about being confined at all. After all, the day of the competition is only half a month away. So I just need time to save my energy,” Wang Tian Hao answered in a cheerful and excited manner.

“Humph! I have no hope for you till you start paying attention,” Uncle Xu snorted.

“Why? Do you mean to say that there are other powerful people in the various clubs?” Wang Tian Hao said with his spirits highly elated, as he sensed some overtones in his uncle’s reprimand.

“You crazy kid! I guess you’d lose sleep if I refused to tell you,” he said, not sure whether to laugh or cry at his nephew’s response.
“Ha ha, Uncle Xu knows me so well,” Wang Tian Hao said demurely, his face now compliant and sweet.

“As far as I know, the Fei Hong club has this time asked a genius to help them recover from their misfortune of always coming last. It is said that although the guy is not a blood warrior, he has an innate body of ‘solid earth’,” Uncle Xu answered with a solemn face.

“The body of ‘solid earth’, also known for its defence force? Could that be the legendary body which is immune to bodily harm?” Wang Tian Hao asked, surprised.
“Ha ha. As you may know, it’s rather difficult to handle. Judging from your current skills, I don’t think your Blazing Spear will be able to break his defence,” Uncle Xu replied with a sneer.

“Maybe I won’t be able to break the defence of a ‘solid earth’ body, but I do know a Martial Disciple in our city who would definitely be able to. It will be worthwhile to watch the fight if he takes part in this competition,” Wang Tian Hao laughed heartily as something struck him, after pausing for a brief thought.
“Oh? Do you mean the ‘Fierce Fists’ you mentioned the other day?” Uncle Xu’s eyes now were alight with excitement.

“Exactly, I’ve witnessed his skills with my own eyes. The reach of his strength must be at least 500 kg, or there is no way he could snap the iron spear with his bare hands,” Wang Tian Hao answered without hesitation.

“Well, that does seem to be true, according to what you’ve told me. This ‘Fierce Fists’ could really confront the ‘solid earth’ body to a certain extent. But it’s a shame that competitors have to be Martial Disciples under the age of eighteen. If ‘Fierce Fists’ is already the leader of a small gang, he must be over eighteen,” Uncle Xu said, quite sure of his reasoning.

“That’s true. But if he turns out to be of my age, then I’ll definitely fight him with all my strength. Even if it is only for the title of the city’s top Martial Disciple,” Wang Tian Hao said in a proud tone, nodding his head.
Uncle Xu was speechless when he heard such an ambitious proclamation.
He was proud of his nephew in every aspect, except for his arrogance for Wang Tian Hao was always showing off.
*** ***

Whiz! Whiz!
Seven black knife shadows rolled and vanished.
After smashing several invisible shadows of light yellow, the knife finally returned to its owner in the shadows.
“Creak.”

A little golden animal, the size of a fist, fell squeaking from mid-air and into the huge pit waiting below. The trap had already been half revealed.
Shi Mu was too overjoyed to hold his wooden knife when he saw that his sudden sneak attack had hit the target. He threw the knife into mid-air and grabbed it with one hand. He then threw out a huge silk net to cover the surface of the pit.
Peng!

As the little golden animal tried to dash out of the pit, it bumped against the silk net and was forced to drop down to the bottom again.
After about ten attempts, the golden animal’s jump grew powerless. And soon, no sound could be heard from the pit.
Shi Mu then approached the pit cautiously, and stole a quick glance inside it.
The little golden animal was now weak, and was no longer able to move its body as it was glued to the colourful fluids at the bottom.

Shi Mu’s mind relaxed at the sight, and he turned to a large nearby rock. He fumbled with his package to find an iron wire cage, and rushed with it to the pit in excitement.
However, he became pale at sight he saw upon turning around. 
A blue robed man with a sword over his shoulder stood beside the pit, which nobody could’ve known about. The little golden animal was already in his hand, struggling fiercely. The man was rocking his head back and forth, observing it from every angle. The little one had to be the golden hamster which had earlier been glued unconscious to the bottom of the pit.
“Elder warrior, I believe that golden hamster is mine!” said Shi Mu politely, containing his anxiety with a deep breath. The sight of the golden hamster in the blue robed man’s hand made Shi Mu’s heart leap to his throat.
“Well, young boy, do you think I am a thief who would grab your prey?” said the blue robed man in a cold voice, as he turned his body.
Shi Mu could make out that the blue robed man was a Daoist priest, probably in his thirties. His eyebrows had grown out all the way to his temples, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. His eyes displayed a fierce countenance which seemed to be murderous and brutal.

“A glance is enough for me to tell that this senior is an outstanding warrior. But I caught this golden hamster with all my effort,” thought Shi Mu, scarcely bracing himself to persuade the blue robed man. Just then, he suddenly felt an unusual and strange sense of coldness rushing onto his face. Immediately, he was frozen as though in ice, and his whole body was cold and numb.

The enigmatic blue-robed man had resorted to violent treachery in no time.

“The notorious Cold Sword, intending to kill a mere Martial Disciple for his treasure. I wonder if anyone would believe my story if I made it public.”
Shi Mu heard a heavenly melodious voice as he was frozen into stillness, 
nearly falling unconscious.


A wonder falling down from heaven! A boy possessed by strange blood! Gods tremble! Demons flee! A boy from the land of Dong Zhou. A pink skull as his sworn friend until death. A story of a determined warrior struggling for power. A legend that shakes the galaxy and disturbs the worlds of god, demon and man.

Chapter 30
Before heading out Althea packed some dry rations and other necessities. After everything was ready, she summoned Northem.

"Young  Miss, what is your order?", asked Northem who was kneeling on one knee.

"Get up, next time you don't need to kneel before me", said Althea.

Getting up, Northem said, "As you wish Young Miss"

Althea nodded and said,  "I will be going out to train in the mountains for a few days. I will be entrusting my mother's safety in your hands in case if anything happens, understood!"

Northem was slightly taken aback by Althea's words. He knew that Althea will be going out to train but all along he thought that he will be going out with her to ensure her safety because he is well aware of the dangers lurking in the hollow mountain range. Moreover, Furiana is inside the Baro clan so, who will be daring enough to harm the only daughter of the clan leader inside the clan.

After an internal debate Northem still decided to voice out his concern, "Young Miss, the mountain is filled with dangers. Won't it be better if I followed you besides, the Lady will be safe inside the clan"

Althea flicked a glance at Northem and he immediately shut up.

"You don't need to worry about me, just follow my arrangements"

"As you wish young miss" answered Northem. Even though he was worried about Althea he didn't dare defy her orders and thinking about how Althea brought many surprises to him during the journey and also by the way she handled Ryab, he was sure that Althea had some tricks up her sleeves or else she wouldn't be confident she will return unscattered from the Hollow mountain range.

After listening to an earful of concerns and warnings from her mother and grandfather, Althea quickly set out.

......

Inner region, Hollow Mountain Range

"Second Lady, are you sure we can find a talented Beast Tamer here", asked Gufian with a doubt.

"Did we find any in Withering Valley then!", instead of answering, Lady Tsiru threw him a question.

Gufian gave a wry smile and didn't question further. He had no idea what Lady Tsiru is up to. Almost all the geniuses and people from five great powers have gathered in and around Withering Valley, only they have come to Hollow mountain range. Gufian couldn't help but speculate that Lady Tsiru is up to something.

After some time, Lady Tsiru halted and said, "we are now at the periphery of the inner region of the Hollow mountain range. The reason why we haven't come across any young talents till now is that the inner region is filled with dangers and only those at senior level or above could walk in and out safely. If we want to find some geniuses we have to lurk around the outer region of the hollow mountain range"

With that Lady, Tsiru turned around and went towards the direction of the outer region. Everyone quietly followed behind her. Only Gufian furrowed his brows looking at Lady Tsiru's back and complained inwardly, 'then why did we waste our time lurking around in the inner regions of the hollow mountain range! Surely she is hiding something from us"

.....

Outer edges of the hollow mountain range

Althea was currently sitting on one of the tree branches. It has been two days since she set her foot inside the hollow mountain range. Due to her weak strength, she didn't dare to venture deep inside. Even though she had few tricks up her sleeves in case of imminent dangers she still decided not to take risks. Besides the main reason, she came here is to practice beast taming.

After a while, Althea heard a noise coming from the nearby bushes. She had already concealed her breath so no beast of human below the divine level can perceive her existence.

From a nearby bush, Althea saw a low-level Amethyst Hamster popping out its head and looking around. After making sure that there was no one in the vicinity, the Amethyst hamster slowly came out from the bush.

After waiting for two days, Althea finally found a low-level beast suitably for practicing her beast taming skills.  Amethyst Hamster is a type of beast with zero combat abilities, it has a keen sense of smell for herbs and can aid the Beast Tamer in finding medicinal herbs. Though it is not an ideal beast for forming a contract, the beast tamers can make use of the Amethyst hamster if they came across it in the wild so that it can help them in finding precious medicinal herbs.

Beast Tamers can tame a beast only for a certain period depending on their strength and mental strength. A beginner or low-level Beast Tamers can only tame a beast for few minutes to one hour maximum.
If a Beast Tamer wants a certain Beast to follow them forever, they have to form a blood contract with the beast.

Althea slowly summoned her Golden spirit light on her palm and making use of the heaven-grade Beast Taming technique she had learned in her past life, she chanted a few words without making noise. One could only see her lips moving. After few seconds she slowly and quietly descends from the tree branch. When the Amethyst Hamster spotted Althea, it tried to go back inside the bushes but it was late as Althea flicked her index finger, and a small translucent golden-colored orb the size of a pill flew out from her fingertips and it directly went inside the head of the Amethyst Hamster.

The Amethyst Hamster was frozen on the spot and Althea was standing ten meters away from it. It was Althea's first time taming a beast, she doesn't know whether it will be a success or failure. Although she followed the instructions as written in the book and the heaven-grade technique she learned during her past life, she was still nervous. At the moment besides being nervous, she was also excited because the heaven grade beast taming technique she casually flipped through in her past life out of curiosity had now being put to use. Althea was very interested in Beast taming in her past life even though she didn't possess golden spirit light, she was always envious of Beast Tamers as they can have their contract beast which Althea longs for. But only Beast Tamers can form a contract with beast regretfully.

Fixing her gaze at the Amethyst Hamster, Althea slowly moved forward. Even if it failed she had already made mental preparation for it as it is her first time.

The Amethyst Hamster regained its composure and stared at Althea with its small and round golden eyes, then it made a small squeak and rushed towards Althea.
Coming near her foot, the Amethyst Hamster rubbed against Althea's shoes and started to run in circles around Althea.

"it succeeded!", Althea couldn't believe that she succeeded on the first try. Her eyes were beaming with joy.

As Althea was immersed in joy, few men emerged from the nearby woods.

"wo.. look who is here"

Althea quickly recollected herself and shot a glance at the newly arrived people and frowned.

The Author has something to say: This Grandaunt is trying hard to update regularly.



In the land of Dura, there exist five great powers that rule over the people. 

The Rainbow Cloud Academy 

The Hall of mage

The Beast Tamer org.

The Alchemist Guild

The Black Tower

Even though the five great powers look peaceful on the outside, they have been scheming against each other internally to gain the power to control the whole land of Dura. The power struggle had been going on for centuries with each wanting to stand above the other four powers.

There was a prophecy in the land of Dura that says.

'The one with the Flame Dragon shall rule all the land under the Heavens'

Althea Rion, the Sovereign of The Hall of Mage had a dragon token passed down to her from her mother which only a few people know of. Due to a traitor, the dragon token in her possession was exposed and she became the target of the four major forces. After being chased by the four great powers, Althea crushed the Dragon token with her last remaining strength. Her Spirit seed exploded and the red flame engulfed her before the eyes of the four great powers.

.......

Opening her eyes again, Althea found herself in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl with a damaged spirit seed. But to her surprise, she found a Flame Dragon encircled around her spirit seed.

"I am Althea, the sovereign of The Hall of Mage. Since Heavens had given me a second chance at life, this time, I will be the one to destroy The Four great powers, wait until I regain my former strength. The path of Revenge is what I chose" 

...

Will Althea regain her former glory?

Can she take down the Four great powers that had been standing strong for nearly a thousand years?

Thank you.

But even more importantly... after getting that seed of the Sinful Black Lotus, why did he suddenly eat it after casually asking if there would be any problem?
Up until now, Song Shuhang had been rather vigilant toward items of the world of cultivators he didn't know well. But after getting his hands on that seed of the Sinful Black Lotus, he swallowed it down without giving it too much thought.
Was it because he trusted Senior White? And this trust extended to Senior White Two as well?
No, that couldn't be. Senior White was Senior White, and Senior White Two was Senior White Two. Song Shuhang was very clear about this point.
In that case, was it possible that it was due to the aroma of the seed of the Sinful Black Lotus, which made him act like a starving man that had just seen some food?
Regardless of the reason, he felt that he had been too careless.
"Shuhang, sob, sob, sob~ are you alright? Sob, sob, sob~" At this time, Senior Sister Ye Si started to weep loudly, looking very aggrieved.
The demonic hamster was temporarily at a loss. He saw that Song Shuhang was in a daze, and that Ye Si suddenly started crying. Thereupon, somewhat worried, it asked, "Hey, are you alright?"
Was it possible that there was really something wrong with that seed of the Sinful Black Lotus and that Song Shuhang had been poisoned?
"I'm alright, there is nothing wrong with me," Song Shuhang replied. When he swallowed down that lotus seed, he felt as if he had eaten a Chinese goldthread; it was extremely bitter. In addition, the demonic technique he should have awakened after eating the seed of the Sinful Black Lotus hadn't awakened yet.
"In that case, what about that head of your [Three Heads and Six Arms Technique]? Why is it crying so aggrievedly?" the demonic hamster asked.
Song Shuhang was also curious, and asked, "Ye Si, why are you crying?"
"Sob, sob, sob~ I don't know why, but when I saw this adorable little hamster injured and looking so pitiful, I couldn't help but burst out in tears."
"..." Song Shuhang.
"..." The demonic hamster.
Soon after, the hamster said loudly, "Wait a moment. Aren't you the very reason I'm so heavily injured? All the wounds on my body are your fault!"
"Sob, sob, sob~ I know! It's I who heavily injured you! But now, I can't stop my tears." Senior Sister Ye Si tried to wipe her tears away, but due to the effects of the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯, her tears weren't showing any sign of stopping.
Women could cry rivers, but Ye Si could cry oceans.
"..." The demonic hamster.
The hamster had never seen someone so hypocritical before! First, she severely injured it. Then, she said she was crying because it looked very pitiful! These tears were even faker than the tears of a crocodile!
But right at this time, some changes occurred in Song Shuhang's body after eating that seed of the Sinful Black Lotus.
First of all, his self-recovery skills got a boost. He could feel that his ability to recover energy had increased twofold. Then, his lifespan also increased by another ten or so years.
Actually, the fact that his lifespan had increased wasn't directly due to the seed of the Sinful Black Lotus. After the seed of the Sinful Black Lotus started taking effect, it resonated with the power of the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus present in his body. After the seeds of the two lotus flowers resonated, Song Shuhang's lifespan increased by another ten years.
This one was really an unexpected blessing.
Since he had advanced to the Third Stage Realm, Song Shuhang would easily live up to 300 years if there were no accidents. Then, he had also eaten the seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus and drunk the water of the living spring in his Heart Aperture, which increased his lifespan 50 years each. Therefore, he could live up to 400 years now.
And after eating the seed of the Sinful Black Lotus, his lifespan increased by another ten years.
One shouldn't look down on this ten-year increase. In the world of cultivators, there were many seniors in deep meditation who sometimes needed precisely these ten or so years to break through to the next realm. Therefore, cultivators wouldn't look down on any increase of this type.
Aside from his self-recovery skills getting stronger and his lifespan increasing, the other effects of the seed of Sinful Black Lotus also manifested. After eating a seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus, one would obtain an extraordinary skill. Likewise, after eating a seed of the Sinful Black Lotus, one would obtain a demonic technique.
Once it was awakened, the demonic technique would work the same as an innate skill. One didn't need to study it, and would automatically learn everything about it.
"How is it? What skill did you obtain?" Ye Si asked out of curiosity.
Song Shuhang had an unusual expression on his face.
Soon after, he said, "I've just awakened a demonic technique, and it should be a pretty good one."
While speaking, Song Shuhang gently raised his left foot.
In the next moment, spiritual qi condensed beneath his left foot, transforming into a black lotus flower that propped his foot up. Then, when Song Shuhang raised his other foot, the same thing happened, and another black lotus flower appeared beneath his other foot.
Just in this fashion, Song Shuhang stepped on the lotus flowers and walked high up in the sky. Each time he took a step, a lotus flower would appear beneath his foot, allowing his body to stay in the air. As for the older lotus flowers, they would quickly wither and disappear.
One step, one lotus flower. The flowers bloomed and faded step after step.
The skill was similar to a buddhist magical technique, with the only difference being that the lotus flowers appearing beneath Song Shuhang's feet were black.
With this demonic magical technique, Song Shuhang had—while still in the Third Stage Realm—gained the ability to walk in the air. Compared to the Lotus Blossoming Tongue skill, Song Shuhang liked this demonic technique, that allowed him to create lotus flowers at each step, way more.
However, this demonic technique also had some limitations, and he couldn't use it indefinitely. With his current level of proficiency, Song Shuhang could only create a hundred lotus flowers at most before needing a break.
But just like the extraordinary skills of the Virtuous Golden Lotus, this demonic technique could also be upgraded.
In order to upgrade this demonic technique, one either had to look for other seeds of the Sinful Black Lotus, or diligently train the skill until it automatically leveled up.
❄️❄️❄️
"It's another skill related to lotus flowers?" Ye Si asked out of curiosity.
"I have no idea what's happening, either. Perhaps it's due to the influence of the skill of the Virtuous Golden Lotus?" Song Shuhang said. The current Song Shuhang could make lotus flowers bloom with his tongue and feet. From head to toe, he was in full lotus flower mode.
Ye Si pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are these lotus flowers blossoming under your feet also edible?"
"No!" Song Shuhang said. "In addition, I don't think there is anyone that would want to eat the lotus flowers I've stepped upon."
Aside from the 'Lotus Blossoming Walk' skill, Song Shuhang had obtained another demonic technique.
Indeed, Song Shuhang had obtained two demonic techniques after eating that seed of the Sinful Black Lotus!
The other demonic technique was called [strong teeth and good appetite], and it was based on the principle of absorption and rebound.
It seemed like a very cool demonic technique. The user could absorb all the magical techniques heading toward them and bounce them back.
However, it had some very big limitations.
First of all, Song Shuhang would have to swallow down the incoming magical technique, and then use his mouth to fire it back at the enemy.
In other words, if someone threw a fireball at Song Shuhang, Shuhang could use this demonic technique to counterattack. To do so, he would have to open his mouth, activate the [strong teeth and good appetite] skill, and swallow down the fireball, and then use his mouth to fire it back at the enemy. As such, if one didn't have strong teeth and the right mindset, they wouldn't be able to display this demonic technique.
Aside from getting limited by the size of the mouth, this magical technique couldn't throw back 'material-type' magical techniques.
If it was an attack of pure spiritual energy like a fireball, tornado, water blast, or lightning attack... the user could eat it and send it back just fine.
But if the opposing magical technique had the capacity to summon a meteorite—or unleash any other type of 'indirect attack'—this demonic technique was somewhat useless. After all, Song Shuhang would be unable to swallow down a meteorite and then send it back.
This apparently very powerful 'demonic technique' was actually quite weak due to these two limitations.
For some reason, this [strong teeth and good appetite] demonic technique sounded very familiar...
Sure enough, this [strong teeth and good appetite] demonic technique was actually Cave Lord Dragon's technique.
Cave Lord Dragon was that demon that Venerable White had carelessly turned into a meat skewer while in the Netherworld Realm. In the end, Scholar Xian Gong used its body to refine the 'demodragon medicine'.
In the past, Song Shuhang had dreamt of Cave Lord Dragon's life experiences, and he had 'seen' Cave Lord Dragon eat a seed of the Sinful Black Lotus growing in the Netherworld and obtain the [strong teeth and good appetite] demonic technique.
He hadn't expected that this [strong teeth and good appetite] demonic technique would also awaken in his body.
Still, Song Shuhang didn't say anything about this second demonic technique for the moment.
The demonic hamster was still there, and the relationship between the two wasn't so good that they would share their secrets. Therefore, he decided that it was better not to mention this second demonic technique for now.
Other than that, Song Shuhang felt that the [strong teeth and good appetite] demonic technique might be very suitable for him. After all, Shuhang had a supplementary magical technique called ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯ that strengthened his teeth and stomach.
Perhaps something interesting might come out from the combination of the [strong teeth and good appetite] demonic technique and the ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯. After getting out of this battle arena, he would give it a try.
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang easily understood how to use the demonic techniques.
Now, he only had to wait for the demonic hamster to recover its strength and then get out of this strange battle arena.
At this time, the demonic hamster was lying on the ground like a corpse.
In the next moment, it saw that one head and one pair of arms of Song Shuhang's [Three Heads and Six Arms Technique] drilled out of Shuhang's body and arrived next to it.
"Song Shuhang, you've deceived me!" the demonic hamster said angrily after seeing Ye Si's complete form. There wasn't any Three Heads and Six Arms Technique; it was all a lie!
"Hehe." Song Shuhang faintly smiled. "Regardless of her being part of my Three Heads and Six Arms Technique or not, I still won."
"..." The demonic hamster.
But right at this time, Ye Si said, "Let's not talk about that. I can see that your injuries are very heavy."
She had finally stopped crying.
The demonic hamster rolled its eyes in contempt, and said, "You are the one that injured me. You should know how heavy my injuries are."
"Ahaha." Ye Si laughed, and then said, "Do you want me to use a healing technique on you?"
"You can use healing techniques? In that case, I'll need a water-type magical technique, and not one of those buddhist healing techniques," the demonic hamster said.
"Of course I can use them!" Ye Si said. "I'm a disciple of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, and water-types magical techniques are my forte."
"In that case, can you use a healing technique to treat my wounds?" the demonic hamster asked cordially.
"Sure. But... do you have money?" Ye Si asked.
"Are you referring to... spirit stones?" the hamster asked.
"No, I'm referring to RMB or USD. Mind you, I don't accept Vietnamese Dong or Indonesian Rupiah," Ye Si said.
"..." The demonic hamster.


One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.
However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed... 

"I'm no Little Huang or Little White. I'm not your regular household cat and dog! My name is Huangdu!"
The little hamster sighed deeply. "The disciples these days are getting worse with each generation. Forget it, it's not like you'll understand. Let me go now and I'll let this slide."
"Let it slide eh?" Chu Chen nodded. Before the hamster could have said anything, he pulled it out from the vines and held it by its round body. "Little Huang, you've stolen quite some spiritual herbs from me. How will you settle this?"
"How is that considered stealing!?" Hearing that, the little hamster got angry. "I rule over all lands and realms. How would I resort to such a lowly act?! I'm just eating it openly! Kid, do you know that I was framed by a rival back then? When I woke up, I was surrounded by a bunch of random people that placed thousands of restrictive spells on me and turned me into this stupid form! As long as I have enough spiritual herbs to break my restrictions, I will take you in as my true disciple and let you inherit all the secret techniques that I learned over the billions of years. What do you think?"
Chu Chen's mouth twitched.
"Secret techniques? You know a lot of them right? Then give me one example."
"I've been suppressed by thousands of restrictive spells. Those memories about the cultivation techniques were naturally sealed away. How can I tell you about them? As long as you let me go and let me eat all the spiritual herbs in this field, those secret techniques will be yours when my restrictions are lifted and memories restored! Come on, my good disciple, what are you waiting for? Kowtow and greet your master."
Chu Chen's brows twitched, struggling to have suppressed his urge to squeeze the little hamster to death. He took out a little box and placed it in front of the hamster.
"What's this?" The hamster curiously moved closer to the box and took a whiff. Its fat face no longer shook around. "Blood pact elixir! Don't feed me that thing! How can I, a ruler of the universe, be subdued by a human and be their pet! Take this away immediately!"
The hamster had been shouting as it waved its little paws wildly. Unfortunately, its paws had been too short, unable to have escaped from Chu Chen's grasp even after all that flailing.
"You actually know that this is the blood pact elixir. That's quite knowledgeable of you." Chu Chen eyed the hamster curiously, whose stomach coincidentally growled. "Look here. I'll give you two options. You can eat this blood pact elixir and be my pet. I'm sure Junior Sister Tong would love a talking hamster. Otherwise, if you refuse to take the elixir, I'll eat you. I've not had meat for quite some time—"
"Don't be like that!" Hearing that, the little hamster was scared witless. "I'm very fat. My body is oily and the texture is bad. I'm also a carrier of a plethora of diseases, sour and bitter. It's better that you just let me go—"
"Eat, or be eaten by me." Chu Chen steeled his expression and stared at the pitiful hamster. His gaze had been one of a hungry wolf.
"Little Hero…"
"Eat, or be eaten!" Seeing the little hamster making that ingratiating expression again, Chu Chen decided to ramp up the act. He grabbed the hamster and brought it closer to his mouth. "I'm so hungry. That's it, I'll take a taste—"
"I'll eat it! I'll eat it okay?"
Seeing Chu Chen's wide opened mouth, the hamster could not have helped but let out a sigh, seemingly having resigned itself to its fate. It did not expect to run into a human with the blood pact elixir.
Chu Chen immediately made a prick on his finger and squeezed a drop of blood onto the elixir. The scarlet elixir had been like a sponge, having absorbed all the blood in just an instant. On its surface, a vague golden pattern started appearing.
"There." Chu Chen placed the elixir before the hamster. The hamster looked uninterested. Seeing the scarlet blood pact elixir, its paws subconsciously held onto the elixir. Its beady eyes had actually teared up.
"My child...I'll be gone. From today, the supreme king of beasts would be a slave for a human...don't feel sad for me. With my wisdom and intelligence, I won't let myself be harmed by this small matter. One day, I shall—"
Seeing the hamster having rambled on while having held onto the elixir, Chu Chen grew impatient. When its mouth was open, Chu Chen took the opportunity to shove the elixir into its mouth.
"Cough cough cough...are you trying to f*cking choke me to death!?" The hamster that had prepared to make a long winded speech had been choked by the sudden squeeze.
However, the elixir melted the moment it entered its mouth and did not cause it to suffer much. Very soon, a layer of reddish glow shimmered between the little hamster's white fur and a series of light golden colored patterns appeared on its body.
"Sob sob sob...I've finally fallen to such a state…"
Seeing the blood pact elixir's power spreading throughout its body, the little hamster broke into tears. "Back then, I ruled over heaven and earth…" All the while, the little hamster dropped to the floor and tried to run away.
"Where are you going?" Chu Chen looked at the little hamster, asking curiously.
"What else can I do? What do you want me to do? I've already eaten the blood pact elixir. What else do you want?" The little hamster looked at Chu Chen. Its expression had clearly been dispirited, as though a wife that had been bullied. "If you don't nurture me properly with elixirs in the future, I'll never let you go even in death! I need to settle some matters now and will come back for you after that!" Saying that, it disappeared into the darkness angrily.
'This hamster has quite the personality.'
Chu Chen helplessly rubbed his nose. Ever since the little hamster ate the blood pact elixir, an extra awareness suddenly appeared in his mind. He vaguely felt the little hamster's location and controlled its current state. It felt as though he could have easily caused its soul to dissipate with just a thought.
'Alright, I think my junior sister will love this interesting hamster.'
However, Chu Chen had been more concerned about the little hamster's secret. It was obviously no ordinary hamster. Maybe it could have brought him more surprises in the future.
Chu Chen took a stretch. After the whole night's ordeal, he felt really hungry. Just as he was about to find something to eat, he felt a weird sensation in his soul.
It had been the mysterious eaglet clone of his!
It turned out that the hunger had been from the eaglet instead. He had been busy with the herb garden for the past few days and paid no attention to the eaglet. The eaglet had been the key for him to explore the Black Fog Valley!
Putting all else aside, having entered the Black Fog Valley to obtain the sect founder's Ring of Green Fortune Emperor was his first goal. He needed to have this eaglet grow quickly in order to have continued exploring the Black Fog Valley.


Due to a miraculous encounter, a Roc that was bigger than a mountain became a clone for the teenager, Chu Chen. Ever since then, he obtained the key to enter the divine tomb. Within the tomb is an immortal lady sealed inside a jade casket with ice. Inside it were countless immortal treasures, elixirs, magical tools, and so on, free for the taking!


 A faint blue holographic screen floated on Jiang Chen's right-hand side, and Lin Lin in the screen was debugging in front of a machine.
On Jiang Chen's left-hand side was a weird-looking machine. The reason it looked weird was that the box-design didn't seem to consider the consumer's perception. Other than the countless wires that connected to an arm guard, the other side of the machine was connected to two discs stacked together.
In the middle of the two discs was a hamster cage.
Lin Lin called this device, Portal No. 1.
As the name implied, it was a device used to transport things between the apocalypse and the modern world. Lin Lin designed machines with similar functions, and on a much larger scale, primarily used to help Jiang Chen transmit food and ore. But different from the previous device, this could be used to transport living things.
Jiang Chen jokingly referred to it as Hamster Killer No. 1.
"Ready?"
Putting on the arm guard, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, took a last glance at the suspicious machine, and then tightened his grip.
"Okay."
"That's the beginning... the coordinates have been imported." Lin Lin tapped a few buttons on the touchpad, "Countdown...3, 2, 1, 0! Power on!"
Blue arc flashed and merged into a vortex between the two discs. The instantaneous magnetic field surged and made all of Jiang Chen's hair jump up.
"What the... is this thing really reliable?" Looking at the spherical arc growing in size, Jiang Chen grabbed his right arm and moved back a little as he protested.
"No problem, no problem! The data is showing everything is fine, the channel is very stable...Though energy consumption is a bit fast, and the anti-matter that we took half a year to accumulate has almost been completely depleted, but those are all trivial things, you should concentrate on keeping the storage space open."
The ferocious magnetic field and the secondary dimension field began interfering with the interdimensional communication chip in the watch, and the holographic screen began to appear unstable. The zealous Lin Lin furiously typed on the keyboard while not forgetting to keep Jiang Chen calm.
However, her words did not give Jiang Chen any peace of mind, but rather, it made him more uneasy. If he didn't have unconditional trust in Lin Lin, he would have kicked the power long ago.
After forcing the thought of escaping out of his mind, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and submerged his consciousness into the storage dimension. Inside the dark and eerie spherical universe, he saw a ball of light. He then reached out and covered the ball of light sparkling with electric rays with his consciousness and pulled it into the modern world...
The deafening noise of static filled the room, then everything returned to calmness.
"Success!"
With Lin Lin cheering, the disordered magnetic field in the room disappeared instantly. When Jiang Chen opened his eyes, he saw on the cage of "Portal No. 1", a slow-looking hamster.
All the pressure he felt disappeared and he let out a long sigh of relief. With a weary smile, he sunk into a chair.
"Yeah, finally fu*king successful."
"Hey, can you not swear?"
Jiang Chen did not reply to Lin Lin as he took off the arm guard tied to his right arm. Then, he got up and walked to the other side of the machine.
One foot stepping onto the power switch, Jiang Chen then went and lifted the iron cage up and put it in front of himself.
Perhaps the current hurt its brain, but its black eyes stared straight at the human outside the cage. The small nostrils opened and closed, and it seemed to be traumatized. Jiang Chen thought about it, and he certainly understood its feeling. He would have been scared to death if he was in the arcs of a storm.
Jiang Chen looked at the shaking hamster in the cage, then he smiled and opened the door of the cage, patted its head.
"Lucky guy, at least a hundred predecessors died before you... Take this, your reward.
Jiang Chen handed the hamster a sunflower seed and then closed the cage.
When the little guy saw it, it immediately reacted. The two small claws grabbed the seed in a hurry and used its small mouth to quickly peel open the seed. After it ate the seed, it looked to Jiang Chen again with its benevolent eyes.
Jiang Chen could not help but smile when he looked at the fat hamster acting cute. He grabbed a handful from the bag next to him and threw them into the cage. The hamster surrounded by happiness gathered all the seeds around him.
"Hey, eat it. At least this is a good meal. There are still two sets of experiments waiting for you later."
If the hamster understood him, maybe it would have dropped the seeds in fear.
In short, Jiang Chen was extremely happy.
Although the hamster was only 50 grams in size, after this breakthrough, transporting a human would not be so farfetched.
He took out two crystals from the storage dimension. Jiang Chen pinched the crystal in his right hand and absorbed the energy. After looking at the lines on his wrist, he tossed the crystal that turned white onto the table.
"Are you done resting? I'm ready to repeat the experiment here!" Lin Lin put her face close to the camera.
Jiang Chen eyed Lin Lin in the holographic screen.
"Why do I feel like a white lab rat?"
"Not at all!"
At this moment, the picture in the holographic screen suddenly blurred. Lin Lin, denied the accusation, moved at an extremely slow pace.
Jiang Chen slightly frowned, raised his left arm and looked at the watch, but found no issues.
Lin Lin also seemed to be aware of this strange phenomenon in the apocalypse . She had already left the table and was running to the other machine. From her frown, he seemed to notice something unusual.
Jiang Chen tried to activate the interdimensional bracelet, but what surprised him was that he didn't manage to interdimensional travel, he was still sitting on the chair.
Just as he was shocked at this moment, the blur on the holographic screen disappeared, and the interdimensional communication resumed as normal.
Once again, he activated interdimensional travel. This time, there was not a single pause. In a blink of an eye, he had already appeared in the mansion.
He walked quickly to the backyard, passed through the side door of the institute, and under the crowd of Lin Lin sisters' watch, he ran into Lin Lin's new laboratory.
When he closed the door, he immediately asked Lin Lin, who was standing in front of the touchpad with a stern expression on her face.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Just now, the Klein particle signal suddenly received strong interference. It should not be the device's issue... Wait, could it be..." Lin Lin's expression suddenly changed, and she clicked on the touchpad that formed several ripples. There was sudden realization on her face when she read the data from the device's feedback.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"The communication channel was crowded. When we talked, someone sent a Klein particle wave to this area. If I didn't guess wrong, you shouldn't be able to interdimensional travel at the time. Do you remember?"
Jiang Chen took a second to think and his expression instantly changed.
He recalled from a long time ago when he was in City K in Country F, the Kurofune used a special method that prevented him from interdimensional travel for a certain period of time. At that time, Lin Lin explained that the Harmony space colonization ship interfered through the resonance effect of the Klein particles by releasing a Klein particle wave.
This was originally a means of communication, except that the strength of the wave exceeded a certain threshold.
"Just then, that space colonization ship released Klein particle waves toward the solar system. You can understand that they used a 'radio' that can emit Klein particle signal and broadcast it to that area... But what is their purpose?" Lin Lin frowned.
Yeah, what is their purpose? The Kurofune was destroyed...
Suddenly, a terrifying thought came to Jiang Chen's mind.
"The Golden Apple."
Lin Lin looked at Jiang Chen with confusion. "Isn't the Golden Apple in your hands?"
"I... I gifted it to someone else." Rubbing the back of his head, Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
Lin Lin's eyes widened and said.
"Gifted it? How can you do that?"
"It's... It's a long story. Didn't you say that it can only be used to receive signals? Anyway, the Remnants of the Void have completely lost connections. I thought that it was useless, so..." Jiang Chen scratched his cheek apologetically.
At that time, he exchanged the Golden Apple for the IAEA's acquiescence to the development of nuclear technology in Xin and won time for the development of Future Group.
"Well, you can't just give it away!" Lin Lin was very angry and stomping her feet.
"Can you locate the signal?" Jiang Chen interrupted Lin Lin's words.
"I can... but the Golden Apple is just a receiver. If you can only accept the signal unilaterally, I can only track the direction of the signal source at most... Wait, how is this possible?" Lin Lin stared at the flashing green dot and the parameters next to it with an incomprehensible look.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen walked over, though he couldn't understand the graphics or numbers on the holographic screen.
"Only half a minute ago, my Klein Particle Wave Tracker detected a feedback signal." Lin Lin looked at the screen, shocked. Muttering to herself, "how exactly did it do this? The Golden Apple? No... it's impossible to do it with just the Golden Apple. It must be something else."
Jiang Chen raised his hand and interrupted Lin Lin's muttering.
"I only have one question. Can you locate it now?"
"Yes." After adjusting her thought, Lin Lin nodded, and the finger clicked on the touchpad a few times. Then the signal light on Jiang Chen's left wrist flashed. "I have sent the coordinates to you... This is incredible"
Clicking on the holographic screen on his watch, Jiang Chen opened the mail.
It was a map of the world; the focus was on Northern Europe. A striking red dot was marked on the map, and the marked position was –
"Finland?"


After the nuclear war, ruins stretch across the landscape in the apocalypse.
If you accidentally survived on the wasteland, then you must be ready to face the endless hunger, ceaseless dangers, the mad zombies at night, and the peculiar mutant creatures that are the aftermath of constant radiation.
But for Jiang Chen, this place is heaven.
Mansions standing tall, luxurious cars parked on the street, high tech products and gold abandoned everywhere.
What? You were the president of a game development company before the war? You were responsible for the development of the 3D virtual reality online multiplayer game? Well, that’s great, why don’t you come work for me. Your salary is two pieces of bread a day.
iPhone? Ultra thin design? Don’t you see that the phone I invented is thinner than a condom?
Aircraft carrier? Fighter jets? Oh, I have those things as well, but they are designed for space combat.
Watch the story of Jiang Chen, who possesses the ability to travel through space and time, as he witnesses the creation of an empire stretched across space and time... 


Like Golden-haired George thought, the gamers of Eternal Kingdom were coming for him.
There were no secrets among the gamers, especially when a large Godly Kingdom army was stationed at Goldshire Town. Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom would definitely know about the location of the Godly Kingdom's army.
The gamers of Victoria City were thinking of assimilating the NPC army into their faction. It would be even better if they could get their hands on the army's supplies and equipment. The gamers weren't very concerned about having the Knights fight for them.
That was what Eternal Kingdom thought too. They were after the army's equipment, horses, and other war supplies. That was why gamers of Eternal Kingdom kept appearing around Victoria Forest. They wanted to attack Golden-haired George to terminate the Strange Encounter Mission triggered by him. Who knew whether George would meet Queen Victoria the second time and form an agreement to hand over the supplies to the Victorians? If that was the case, the Victorians would have a windfall.
Golden-haired George didn't know about this. He only witnessed countless Underworld creatures attacking his escorts. Even the forest was filled with those creatures who would charge at him recklessly.
Though the Victorian dogs gave assurances that everything was fine and soothed his fears, how could he not feel frightened? Even the battle-hardened George sweat when the never-before-seen creatures charged at him. 
That was even with George being mentally after being captured by the Underworld creatures before.
"Don't worry, everything is going according to our plan," SealHeadLingChong comforted the worried George. Right at that moment, a group of Orcs leaped out from the forest. They were riding strange Darting Birds while wielding various weapons. They were screaming wildly as a volley of arrows flew out from the forest towards George and the Victorians. 
"Protect George. Don't let the Eternal pigs get to him!" 
"More enemies are coming. Pay attention to our left flank!"
Before the Orcs reached George, lots of Humans surrounded him from all directions. They were using their bodies, acting as Human shields to brace against the sword and arrow attacks. The Humans sacrificed themselves to protect George from harm. 
This wasn't the first time the Victorians protected George. In prior battles, those Victorians sacrificed their lives to protect George. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Underworld creatures.
The intense battle lasted for an hour, and the Victorians protected George along the way. George was escorted from Goldshire Town into the depths of Victoria Forest. Every time a Victorian died, there would be more Victorians joining his escort team. They arrived in a continuous stream as though there was no end to it. George recalled the memories of him fighting the Victorians.
During that time, he was facing an unlimited number of Victorians. His Knights had the upper hand at first, but as the battle dragged, the Victorians were like an endless stream of cockroaches that couldn't be terminated. Finally, George and his Knights were overwhelmed. 
The Victorians were now using the same tactic to fight against the Underworld creatures. Death wasn't a problem for them. Instead, it was an honor. However, they were very concerned about their comrades' equipment. Whenever their comrades died, they would gather the equipment solemnly after the battle.
George thought that the Victorians were collecting the equipment as mementos. However, when fresh Victorians rejoined the team, they would give the equipment to the new Victorians. They would use the equipment without hesitation. Though they were ill-disciplined, they showed the qualities of a powerful warrior during combat.
George respected the Victorians. After these battles, they arrived at the entrance of Victoria City. George saw Sir Lancelot and a huge Hamster standing by the entrance.
Lancelot and the Hamster were waiting for their warriors at Queen Victoria's order.
They were aware of the movements of the gamers. Queen Victoria already ordered the three Hamsters to refuse entry to Victoria Forest to the Godly Kingdom's army. To Lilo, the battle with Eternal Kingdom was only a pre-planned military exercise.
She didn't have a good impression of the people from the Godly Kingdom. But the gamers of Victoria City didn't care about Lilo's order. She neither assigned the gamers missions nor gave them rewards. Hence, the gamers didn't give importance to what she said.
When Lilo heard that the gamers were in contact with the Godly Kingdom, she was very angry. But after consideration and hearing that there was only George, and after receiving a letter from Sherlock, she relented. Lilo nodded and allowed Big Boss Hamster and Lancelot to receive him. 
The aim was simple, to allow Golden-haired George to witness the military exercise between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City.
That was Sherlock's idea, and Lilo wasn't sure why that was so. However, she didn't mind if that would help her plan of conquering the Heavenly Kingdom.


Sherlock is a new generation Dungeon Lord whose ambition is to become the greatest Devil King and building up the greatest Dungeon in the Underworld.
He summons a group of other-worldly goblins who give themselves strange names, form cliques, engage in commerce, and even fight among themselves.
They call themselves—Gamers!

After suppressing the Greater Rat demon king, besides being gloomy that it did not get any experience, the System quickly went back to its heartless everyday life of farming monsters and practicing.
However, Fang Ning was different. After all, he was a human...
He had been in a dilemma about a certain matter and did not even have any mood to play games, much less sleep in.
In just two days, Sir System caught this and could not help but ask, "Rich-man Host, your mental state doesn't look very good. You get up early these few days but do nothing but stare blankly. It's really not like you. Did you get affected by one of that old demon's secret schemes? Seems like I'll have to inspect your mind again."
"What's not like me?" Fang Ning said distractedly.
"Playing the entire night or sleeping till 10 and then waking up to continue playing is more like you. Occasionally you cultivate hard for three days and then continue playing after you're satisfied, that's also like you. It's the first time I'm seeing you just lost in thought all day. You never waste time used to play games…"
"Ah, is that so? Thanks for your concern. I just have a dilemma," Fang Ning said, vexed, "I told you before that the Greater Rat demon king was Cang Gongzi's father. Of course, he committed tons of crimes and brought disaster to the Bai Clan. He's undeserving of sympathy and should have his comeuppance, but how're we supposed to tell Cang Gongzi about this?"
"Why do you have to tell it? It already knows. After I took control of the arcane realm and suppressed the old demon, the little hamster already sensed it. After all, since it's his biological son, its bloodline sense is quite strong. Even ordinary people have some mysterious sort of sense when it comes to their kin, much less these strong cultivators." The System said indifferently.
Fang Ning immediately followed up, "Then what reaction did Brother Xiao Cang make? What was his expression?"
"Strangely, after he sensed that the Greater Rat demon king had been suppressed, at first he was stunned, then astonished, then relieved as if released from a burden, then dull and insipid, and finally more grateful than words can tell. He said things like 'thank goodness for the Hero, otherwise…' and stuff that the System didn't understand." The System said nonchalantly, "Anyways, his work enthusiasm has increased instead, so you don't have to worry about that dilemma at all."
"Sir, your level of using idioms is really increasing every single day and improved for the better. You really make me amazed and proud." Fang Ning could not help but sigh.
"It's adequate. To be honest, I just picked them up from others." The System said proudly.
Fang Ning immediately understood, "Oh, so you just found them off the Net. Don't fool me if that's the case. Did Brother Xiao Cang really react like how you described?"
"Who do you think I am? Of course I'm right. Relax, I'm an honest System. I won't commit trickery." The System said firmly.
"The more you say it like that, the more uneasy I feel. Pass the body to me."
"What're you doing?"
"I'll go ask the Dragon Carp. It's the best at discerning what others are thinking from their body language, plus it's always with Cang Gongzi. It has the highest EQ among our little troupe. Oh, it might even be better than Butler Zheng. After all, it was the doorkeeper for the Dragon Clan in the Upper Realm, so it has seen a lot as well." Fang Ning said positively.
... 
In the office of Morality City's Construction Department, a person entered from the window.
Lying on the ground was a golden Dragon Carp sleeping curled up in the fish tank rockery. It immediately grew gloomy after sensing movement.
If everyone entered from the window like this, then what was the point of asking it to collect entry fees?
However, when it saw who the person was, it instantly became overjoyed and jumped to the water surface with a flick of its tail.
"Master, you're here. Is there anything you'd like me to do?" The Dragon Carp eagerly greeted.
"Haha, I do have something to ask you. How's Cang Gongzi recently?"
The Dragon Carp's eyes turned and it immediately rejoiced covertly. As expected, this Dragon God regarded it, one who shared the same bloodline, as a trusted aide. Now was a good time for it to lodge a complaint...
That little hamster was ignorant of the ways of the world and strictly impartial, but when it came to giving presents, he would always tactfully but firmly decline. The Dragon Carp had to secretly rely on personal activities and hiding gold bars. He did not even have one treasure.
He hid quite a number, so much that even the rockery in the fish tank could not cover anymore. After all, the fish tank was only custom-made afterwards and was no less than three meters wide. The rockeries inside were not small either.
Perhaps it was time to make an interspatial equipment. Making it into the shape of a nose ring would be quite fashionable...
The Dragon Carp let its imagination roam and thought of an idea, "Master, Cang Gongzi is very diligent in its work, but in its free time, it only sighs deeply and looks at the sky in self-pity. I feel that it'll be staying long-term. I don't know if it'll just abandon us and leave one day."
This report was very brilliant. It hinted that in this group, only it, the Dragon Carp, would be able to follow the Venerable Dragon God long-term.
It had obviously forgotten about its past of seeking refuge with another master. It had only taken a year or so for it to jump into Vigilante A's hands from the Dragon Clan Leader.
"Hm, then how has he been these two days?" Fang Ning naturally heard it. That was under his expectations.
Among the group, the little hamster looked like it had the least pressure. It always displayed an unassuming face while chewing on chestnuts during major events.
However, the truth was it had the most complicated background and had the most things to carry on its shoulders. Its life was the most tiring.
Even the black dog that tried its best but could not find a wife suffered less than it.
"Ah," The Dragon Carp startled and hesitated, but replied honestly, "These two days, the little hamster was inexplicable happy and never frowned again. However, it goes out once in a while and doesn't return for a couple hours at a time. Did it meet someone outside?"
"I see. Dragon Carp, you've seen a lot in the Upper Realm. You have to properly aid Xiao Cang and build this Morality City to perfection. When that time comes, your virtuous achievements will be awarded generously." Fang Ning drew some castles in the sky and brewed some chicken soup, acting more and more like a boss.
The Dragon Carp secretly curled its lip. 'What awards? I don't need those kinds of things. I just want to be a True Dragon…'
Of course, it showed a cheerful face and swung its tail in the air several times before excitedly saying, "Understood, Master. I'll try my best not to let the little hamster make any mistakes. I'll make this Morality City into the world's greatest and most beautiful city."
"Good. This bottle of pills is to strengthen your spirit and nourish your soul. Use it to cultivate faster. There'll be a lot of dangers in the future, so you'll need to be strong enough to protect yourself. To be absolutely sure, your soul must at least be strong enough." Fang Ning fished out a small jade bottle and handed it over while hinting with sincere and earnest words.
'That's more like it. That's the stuff.'
The Dragon Carp hurriedly reached out with its snout to hold the jade bottle. It nodded its head, showing an expression of immense gratitude.
Once Fang Ning got his accurate news, there was nothing left for him to do, so he left in relief.
With his temper, he did not really want to directly meet Cang Gongzi. He would at least delay it for a few weeks or maybe even a few months before talking about that matter.
…
At this time, the little hamster that was the center of discussion was currently squatting at a stone monument in a daze.
The monument was located at the southern part of Morality City and was at least ten meters tall, with two large golden words, 'Demon Suppression', inscribed on the top.
Currently, no one knew that in this snow white little hamster, a duel was taking place in its mind.
"I'm going to kill him!"
Bai Ruocang said viciously in its mind.
"I know, that's natural for you, but I still want to dispel this resentment…" Cang Gongzi's tone was very complicated, and said with difficulty, "Although I don't want to say this, he's already got his punishment."
"Punishment? He's just being suppressed for five hundred years. What's that much to you creatures with long lives? How can that make up for the lives of my family?!" Bai Ruocang said vehemently, no longer calm like before.
In the past, he did not have the ability nor the chance.
Just like a survivor of a family slaughtered by a vile person, because he was weak, he could only be forced to forgive that person. He had no way of taking revenge and had to choose to forget, to drift and live without purpose.
This kind of thing was not uncommon. There was nothing new under the sun. He thought that he would just be one of them.
He knew that although his cultivation aptitude was good, his disposition was so bad that he could not even compare to the peers in his family, let alone the ambitious and brilliant Greater Rat demon king!
In the past, he could only numb himself with all kinds of things while holding out hope in his heart. Maybe that vile person would be punished by heaven. At least, he believed the Hero he followed would not just sit back and watch as that old demon went about free and unpunished.
However, right now, the hope in his heart had been actualized. That Greater Rat demon had been suppressed by the Hero under this stone monument, never to leave for five hundred years.
In this situation, with his capabilities, he could kill the other party. All he had to do was seal Vitality from entering and exiting.
After all, that old demon no longer had any power to resist, just like Sun Wukong when it was suppressed. Even if it wanted to pluck a peach that was almost within its reach, it had to ask for help from a young child.
However, the person stopping him nevertheless appeared, and it was the person he was most familiar with too.


Procrastinator extraordinaire, Fang Ning, had lost his consciousness after banging his head on a night of celebration. He woke up to a realization that he no longer had control of his body, as a System had taken it over. Will he eventually regain control of his body or will he be trapped in his body forever? How does he maneuver this situation? What's in store for Fang Ning?
