Mickey is Bored!

Fresh from his bath, Mickey gazed at his reflection, his expression as plain as unseasoned food.

"Lord South wants to create a formula to turn humans into vampires. "

He shook his head in disdain. "Does he think he's Dracula?" (1)

Mickey shrugged off his now different look, and sighed at how things had turned out this way.

He needed to survive, and to do that, he had to get Lord South's favor. He himself wasn't a very sociable person, and his manner of speech was quite 'rude,' to say the least.

However, being close Lord South was easy, since the old man was a nerd who dedicated his life to making pills, medicine, and poisons.

All Mickey had to do was to never praise him, and showed him with advice he got after using his vital grimoire, and during one of these exchanges, Mickey mentioned the medical properties of the three-eyed Jade Monkey.

This led to Lord South injecting Mickey with syrups made from those monkeys, resulting in Mickey growing a tail.

Initially, the tail was out of control, but Mickey soon learned to control it. Now, it functioned like an extra limb, even bringing him coffee.

'A minor benefit from extorting that old man.'

During these past two months, he had taken five of Lord South's 'Life Expansion' grimoires, together with 200 spirit crystals, not forgetting the two spirit realm grimoires.

His cultivation had also risen to the 4th stage, which was faster than what he had in mind.

His thoughts drifted to the foundation of his cultivation, and his expression sank a bit.

'The Silhouette-Primeval World I was given by my sister will explode when my cultivation reaches the peak of all mortal realms.'

Mickey didn't feel enraged about such a fact; he already had a way to make use of this ticking time bomb.

He turned to look at the coffin at the edge of the cave and sighed. Lord South was sleeping in there, and this sleep would last for four days. That was just one of the prices a vampire pays for waking during the daytime.

Mickey knew that killing him at the moment was suicidal, and this made him feel a sense of lethargy.

Yes, Gu Mickey was feeling bored!

He was so bored that he was going to look for trouble!

Things had been too peaceful!

He took the sword Lord South brought him. It was long enough to match his height and was a World Realm spirit weapon, meaning he couldn't put it into his Primeval World.

The moment he entered the pathway to head outside, someone appeared behind him with the sound of falling snow.

"Where are you going?"

The eye on the back of his neck opened and looked at the purple-haired woman with a cold expression, but he knew she wouldn't do anything to him.

"I am going to anger some profound beasts outside."

"12 hours, that is the maximum amount of time I can give you." Mei Lin's figure vanished with plum petals fluttering around, and Mickey continued with his walk.

'It's a few days from November, yet it's already snowing.' Mickey felt a little sad that he didn't get to see the sun after almost three months without going outside, but that was it.

He took the path that led to the top of the mountain. It was one of the places where he could find monsters of his own realm.

Mickey was no prodigy who would fight high-ranking beings and come out victorious.

'I know I won't die in the next three years unless it's by Yi Long Fei's hands, but I am not going to test such luck. I might get injured to the point Yi Long Fei kills me with his finger.' A sweat bead fell from his face as he shook off the issue of weak beating strong without careful planning.

Mickey continued to walk before halting his steps just before reaching the summit of the mountain. He could see a group of monkeys in the surrounding trees.

These monkeys had red fur and were similar to the monkeys on earth, except that they had three amber eyes shaped like jades, hence the name three-eyed Jade Monkeys.

Feeling that they were all in the elementary realm, Mickey put his hands on the hilt of his sword, but one of the monkeys suddenly jumped over to the grass field in front of him.

He raised an eyebrow, seeing that this monkey wasn't hostile to him at all. It even had a basket of fruits in its hand, which it extended to him.

'They must think I am a monkey too!'

Mickey didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was all due to Lord South experimenting on him. He just took the basket of fruits with a curious gaze.

'This basket is not something these guys wouldn't make. They probably stole it from a Book Lord. These fruits are all a realm above me, meaning that cultivator was probably in the Human Realm.'

Some other monkeys started to jump from the trees to surround him, and a vicious smile swept over Mickey's face.

'Who am I to refuse a free meal?'

'This will be one of the easiest mass slaughters I have done so far. Hehe…'

Whoosh-!

With a swift motion, Mickey pulled out his katana blade and swung it with fierce might, leaving four Monkey heads rolling on the ground.

As the killed monkeys' blood sprayed everywhere, the others realized Mickey's true intentions. They recoiled, their eyes fixed on him, and unleashed a chorus of loud, high-pitched chirps.

Though wary, they didn't flee. In their eyes, Mickey wasn't a formidable foe – at least, not yet.

One of the monkeys jumped up to strangle the boy's neck, but it was greeted with a swift kick in the gut that sent it flying towards the nearby tree.

It immediately realized how dangerous the man before them was and started plotting its escape.

The other monkeys tried to use numbers to besiege Mickey, but they all suffered a worse fate.

Mickey wasn't trained in professional swordsmanship and was just using moves from various novels of his past life.

He had used a year's lifespan to go back and reread those moves again.

It didn't take two hands' time for the snowy grass field to be colored red with the monkeys' blood.

Swish-!

Mickey's blade whistled in the air as it sliced through the monkey that was in front of him.

The moment it rolled on the ground, the eye on Mickey's neck opened, and he saw a Jade Monkey jumping from a tree holding a huge rock trying to smash his head.

His lips curled up. 'I finally get to try it.'

Ever since the day the Qi in his Silhouette-Primeval World reacted to stop Lord South from shattering his jindan, Mickey had a lot of theories on another way to take advantage of his situation.

'Firstly, there is no limit to the amount of Qi I put in my Primeval World. I can't use this Qi on spells or recover the Qi in my jindan. However, that Qi can be moved outside of my body.'

'I tried to use that Qi to make a shield outside my body, but that was suicidal. Qi and the human body without modifications are like oil and water—they don't mix.'

'However, using that Qi on a spirit weapon… worked like a charm!'

Mickey's sword got covered by a purple light like a light saber before he swiftly brought it to cut the beast aiming for his back.

Swish-!

Mickey's attack undoubtedly sliced the Jade Monkey together with the rock it was holding in equal halves, but his attack also extended to slice the water arrow that was charged at the monkey in an attempt to save him.

A pair of green eyes landed on the ornate grass basket.

"My fruits!"
