The Illogical World

Chapter 8

Crackle! Crackle!

From his skull to his toes, every bone crackled. His facial alignment changed many times before it settled at some point. After that, after a few short crackles, his body began to calm down. Wei Jun remained on the floor after this massive bout of pain.

[Defense: 5]

[Charm: 27]

After taking the pill, his defense seemed to have increased by four. It was some improvement and that wasn't only it. Wei Jun slowly stood up, completely refreshed as if the earlier attack of pain was nothing but imaginary.

He flexed his body and stretched his arms and legs. Once he was done with this, he checked his body to notice any changes and he saw that his height had increased by about four inches. It wasn't a massive change but someone as keen as Wei Jun could notice it without much effort.

His chest was also a little wider now though it was still scrawny but handsome. His facial structure was a little wide now and his chin was chiseled to the prime condition. His nose was well-defined and his eyes became a little sharper.

'That would explain my increase in charm.' Wei Jun inwardly commented before he stopped examining himself and went to stand under the shower. He didn't bother turning the hot water on and took a cold shower. As the cold water flowed down his body, he asked his system, 'Is it a good idea to buy a blood-cleansing pill? I feel like it would be inefficient if I use it now.'

He shared his own view of the system. The reason he thought so was because the prices of the items so far seemed to have been adjacent to their effect. If he takes a blood pill that costs 10000 gold right now, would his body be able to bear it?

[You're absolutely correct, host]

[Not only would it be inefficient; it could also be dangerous as your body might not be able to bear it]

[Your vessels could end up exploding]

The reply given by the system was somewhat the same as his own assumption. But in the end, they were both assumptions. The system said, 'Could end up exploding,' which meant there was a chance they might not.

'It's better to not take a risk.' Wei Jun decided before he bought nine stamina restring pills and stored them inside his inventory.

He had already used 1200 gold by now but he still had a lot left.

'Purchase the first volume.' Wei Jun commanded the system and the system obliged. Ten thousand coins disappeared from his inventory and shortly afterward, a lot of information began to flood his mind.

After it passed, 'I thought it would be in the form of a book but this is better.' He commented on the convenience before he went through the information that was in his head.

"Oi." After reading the novel, Wei Jun didn't care whether he was speaking in his mind or not.

[Yes host]

The system replied to his address. Wei Jun quietly sighed before he inhaled and then, "WHAT IS THIS ILLOGICAL BULLSH*T???!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If the system had ears, they would have been torn at this yell. It remained quiet and prepared to be yelled at.

"How the hell can a person survive after burning alive?! How does a plan appear when he jumps off of a building?!! How does the magma turn into ice when he falls into it but remains magma when a villain falls into it?!!! And how in the hell of a mothertucking sanity and all the logic in the entire creation that is sane and sound DOES HE SCREW A GHOST?!!!!!!" Gradually, Wei Jun's each question amassed force behind every word and finally, it erupted at the last question.

He went silent. He huffed and puffed as he remembered the things he had just read. The things that only made him angry the more he thought about them. The more he thought about them, the more he wanted to jump off of a building himself.

He was waiting for the system to reply and justify the illogical things he had just read in his mind.

[That… That would be the world keeping him alive, host]

The system meekly replied. There was no reply from the host. He remained quiet but the system knew, it was all the calm before the storm.

"F***!!!"

"SHI****!!!!"

"DAN******!!!!!"

"MOT*****!!!!!!"

"HOR********!!!!!!!!!!"

In a luxurious mansion that spanned about the same area as a medium-sized building, a girl with ethereal beauty stood in front of a man with similar features. Anyone could tell that they were father and daughter by the shared similarities.

Currently, the man had a defeated expression on his face and a contemplating one at the same time. He was seriously contemplating what to do as the matter was already out of his hands.

"What do you think?" He asked a striking woman who sat next to him with her legs crossed. She was also contemplating something very hard as she replied, "The Ruan family's influence may be unquestionable but it won't last for long so maybe it is worth considering it."

The man nodded at the reply of the woman who also happened to be his wife. The answer of his wife was along the same lines of what he had deduced so he was ready to do it. But still, he wanted to make sure. It wasn't just anything at stake but his entire family would be at risk if something went wrong.

"You do not have to worry, Father. Yao Tian has assured me that his family has been planning to take over for a long time. Also, since the Ruan family's sole successor is a failure no matter what it comes to, the Ruan family would most likely end up with the current head, or maybe Lin Ruan would end up inheriting everything. No matter the case, if we stand with the Ruan family, it would create troubles for us as well." The young girl with enough beauty to drive a man crazy explained in great detail to her father.

Her father nodded and replied, "We will attend tomorrow's dinner and then see how things progress."
