Chapter 3: Speedy Improvement

Translator: Lordbluefire

As Su Xi`er pondered, her mobile phone suddenly vibrated.

She opened WeChat.

Lin Chang`an: You haven’t gone far yet, right? Come back here, I’ve made my decision.

Su Xi`er replied ‘Okay’. After that, she lifted her head and looked at her master.

“It seems like he has decided to reject it so quickly!”

“I felt no hesitation from him at all. He probably really has no wish to become someone’s vessel. The pride in his heart made it so that it’s hard for him to accept losing some of his human rights.”

“In that case, let’s hope for a good interaction with him~” Su Xi`er actually felt a sense of relief.

She was really fond of Lin Chang`an and wasn’t thinking of making use of him.

Although her master wanted her to do this, she always felt a little hard to accept it.

“You are wrong again. If you don’t do this, you will be harming him.” The human shadow shook her head. “Could it be that you want him to be paired up with those common or even ugly females?”

Su Xi`er pursed her lips. “I don’t.”

“In any case, it’s impossible for your clan to agree to the marriage. Even if they agree, it’s impossible for them to allow you to complete the task of childbirth with him so early. So, there’s only one solution. You have to understand this.”

“I understand, Master…” Su Xi`er sighed.

(Why are there so many rules and restrictions in this world?)

She contemplated and discovered that indeed, this was the only solution.

If not, what could she do? The rules were so clear, and there was nothing she could do to tweak them.

There were only a few solutions if one didn’t want to be forcefully paired. What else could he do?

At the very least, choosing her was the best solution for him.

…

Lin Chang`an stared at the system interface before his eyes.

After ending another simulation, the five rewards appeared again.

[Simulation has ended, please choose one of the rewards.]

[One: Firefly in Darkness Talent (D-Grade talent). You will emerge from the common crowd and it is easier for others to notice you.]

[Two: Cultivation realm at the time of your death. (Qi and blood value: 134.)]

[Three: Combat experience at the time of your death. (No combat experience)]

[Four: Cultivation insights at the time of your death. (No cultivation insights)]

[Five: A partial memory fragment.]

This time, he didn’t hesitate and directly chose the second option.

A surge of warmth instantly gushed into his body!

At this moment, he felt like his body was burning and incomparably heated up. The surging qi and blood caused his muscles to instantly become stronger. He suddenly felt that his strength had doubled!

His body then trembled, and the aura that naturally seeped from him caused the table in front of him to be overturned!

At this moment, on the system interface’s character selection page.

Name: Lin Chang`an

Cultivation: Zero Realm (Qi and blood value: 241)

Dao Heart: Mortal Heart (Mental energy: 276)

Talent: Super Gigolo

Because of the system simulation, his qi and blood had instantly doubled.

Lin Chang`an only felt that this was somewhat incredible.

He had bitterly cultivated for three years, and his qi and blood value merely reached 134 points. But in the end, he obtained roughly the same amount of qi and blood points from one simulation session!

However, there was a problem.

“134 + 134 should be 268, but there’s a lack of 27 points. Could it be that the excess has leaked out?”

There was also another problem he had to pay attention to.

“According to the emulator’s introduction, if there are no accidents, it means that there will be an accident.”

He touched his chin and contemplated. But at this moment, the sound of the doorbell rang out. “Chang`an, it’s me.”

“The door isn’t locked.”

Su Xi`er slowly pushed the door open and walked in lightly. “Have you thought things through?”

In the dim lightning, Lin Chang`an slowly replied, “I’ve thought things over. I decided to sign the contract.”

“It’s fine, I can help you think of other solu…Mn? What?” Su Xi`er suddenly felt like she had misheard after she spoke halfway.

Signing the contract?

Su Xi`er: “?”

The human shadow: “??”

She immediately slipped back into the ring.

“I said that I’m willing to become a vassal of your mother,” Lin Chang`an repeated. “When will you bring me to meet her?”

Su Xi`er’s eyes widened as though she didn’t dare to believe what she had just heard.

“Ah…?”

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“Don’t you want to consider it again?” Her tone contained anxiousness.

Su Xi`er was thinking that if her mother at home learned that she had stolen her contract, she would be finished!

“There’s no need to consider it. Since Aunty* is willing to give me this opportunity, I cannot be unable to understand what’s good for me.”

“Actually, there might still be some other solutions. Why don’t I help you think of them? Give me two days. I will have a better suggestion.”

“No need. A gentleman’s word is like a promise that has to be kept.”

“This is a major life event. Chang`an, you shouldn’t be impulsive.”

“I’ve thought things through very clearly,” Lin Chang`an spoke while laughing in his heart.

(So, you know how to panic now?)

(You actually dare to tease me and cause me to feel conflicted for so long!)

However, Lin Chang`an was also very clear that this idea wasn’t something a silly and sweet young girl like Su Xi`er could think of.

There was surely another person behind this.)

(What special characteristic do I have to make Su Xi`er, who has outstanding talent, act like this?)

Lin Chang`an very soon discovered that he was extraordinary. He wasn’t simple trash.

If not, even if he was very handsome, how would he have the qualifications to make Su Xi`er act like this?

At this moment, Su Xi`er basically didn’t know what to say.

She only felt her heart growing numb from panic.

She wanted to consult her master, but her master had long since fled back into the ring.

(It’s all master’s fault Aiya, boohoohoo…)

She pursed her lips and felt incredibly wronged.

How should she handle the aftermath now?

If she really let the two of them meet, she would probably die from embarrassment instantly.

“Why don’t we go now?”

“Ah?” Su Xi`er hurriedly waved her hands. “I…I’ll go back and inform my mother first. Y…you should wait for me.”

She wanted to quickly leave, and she was cursing her master a hundred times in her heart.

“Let me go with you. I’ve never met Aunty before.”

As Lin Chang`an spoke, he stood up.

Su Xi`er: “Ah…?”

She was sobbing in her heart. (Please don’t!)

However, she didn’t know how to voice her rejection. Her heart was filled with panic.

“Wait a little while here, I’m going to change my clothes.”

Lin Chang`an then returned to his room.

In reality, there was another reason why he wanted to do so.

At this moment, he once again activated the simulation function.

[Simulation starts!]

[You agreed to the subservience contract and went with Su Xi`er to meet her mother.]

[On the way, she used all sorts of reasons she could think of to persuade you, but you remained unmoved.]

[“Oh, I actually have a special contract here, it’s a linked-contract!” Su Xi`er seemed to have thought of something as she spoke excitedly.]

[You remained unmoved.]

[“Actually, my mother has a very bad temper and would often beat and scold me. She will be even more ruthless to her vassals.”]

[You remained unmoved.]

[“You are still young, you shouldn’t walk the path of a gigolo.”]

[You still remained unmoved.]

[Very soon, you guys entered the wealthy suburb. Su Xi`er then swiped the entry card and was so anxious that her tears were about to fall.]

[However, you immediately noticed a wanted criminal who had disguised himself as a security guard.]

[Before he could act, you already attacked!]

[He had a face filled with astonishment. But after that, he killed you with a single punch.]

[You died.]

Lin Chang`an touched his chin.

In his previous simulation, he had also run into that security guard after entering the wealthy suburb.

He was just in time to see the security guard starting to riot. After that, the security guard decided to target him and use him as a hostage to negotiate with the police.

In the end, negotiations broke down and he was killed by the security guard.

This time around, his qi and blood value had doubled, so he chose to sneak attack, but he was still one-shotted.

(But it’s fine.)

[Simulation has ended. Please choose one of the rewards.]

[One: Iron-headed Doll Talent. (D-Grade talent). Your courage surpasses ordinary people. You clearly knew you were no match, yet you still dared to fight.]

[Two: Cultivation realm at the time of your death (Qi and blood value: 241)]

[Three: Combat experience at the time of your death. (No combat experience)]

[Four: Cultivation insights at the time of your death. (No cultivation insights)]

[Five: A partial memory fragment.]

He chose the second option once again.

Lin Chang`an was simply too ‘poor’!

[1] In Chinese culture, addressing someone doesn’t mean that they are related to you. It’s a term of politeness.
