Chapter 22 Believe in the Protagonist Halo! “A Prince?” Yi Zhen echoed the words back incredulously. What a surprise! In this absurd little world of yellow literature, there are people who are keen on gossiping about the love lines of CPs other than him and Rong Hongxue’s? “I’m not sure which prince it is,” She Xin replied, “After all, it’s someone else’s family affair. Moreover, the Emperor of Azoth has so many lovers and sons...” Yi Zhen didn’t know much about royalty. At this point, he just wanted to change the topic. He rummaged through the Mustard Seed Panther Pouch and produced a shimmering, dark blue Blood Tribulus. Wrapping it several times in a high-density plastic sheet, he placed it carefully into She Xin’s hands. “This is what I made, its called a Blood Tribulus,” he said earnestly. “Take note, it’s a concealed weapon. If you’re ever besieged and can’t fight back, pull the smallest lever at the bottom, then throw it away. The far...

 Chapter 26 "Take Off Your Clothes." They walked along the alleyway, heading forward. The road ahead was a junction where two streets converged, splitting the buildings on either side. The road was littered with vehicles blocked by accidents. From a distance, one could see figures wandering aimlessly among the traffic. “To the other side,” Xia Shen Shu led the way across. Quickly crossing the road, they entered another residential area. This area was slightly different from the previous one; the buildings were much closer together. Although the houses were still about five or six stories high, both the ground and the walls exuded a sense of newness from a distance. After passing the row of houses closest to the road, Xia Shen Shu turned his head, searching for a place to hide. Before he could find one, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from behind them. Xia Shen Shu turned his head, his scalp tingling, and almost simultaneously, a group of people burst into their v...

Chapter 21 When Striking Iron, the Water in Your Brain Evaporates Along with the Sweat. Golden and red sparks dance and scatter like a heavy snowfall, but this snow burns with a heat that scorches the skin. Yi Zhen gripped the heavy iron ingot with tongs, pulling it from the fire as it neared the melting point, then swung the hammer down to beat out the impurities trapped within. This step was the most crucial in the early stages of mechanical processing; whether one was a devout blacksmith clinging to handmade craftsmanship or a master adept in full automated assembly lines, they all devoted their lives to studying the metal composition of their materials, experimenting thousands of times to unveil their own unique formulas in the art of purification. Yet Yi Zhen did not belong to that category. His talent permitted him to accomplish what others couldn’t even fathom. With a mere thought, he could refine absolutely pure metal elements, s...

Chapter 20 No One is Static. “They arrived so quickly.” Yi Zhen muttered as he opened his eyes, severing the connection to the virtual Starnet plane. “I...damn it!” Nothing in the training room had changed from when he left, except for one thing—the glass dome on the table was empty. Where did that cursed scorpion go?! The antidote for the Bone-Eroding Scorpion’s venom was notoriously complicated, and if it had really escaped, that would be a disaster a hundred times worse than a species invasion. As of now, this world had no known nemesis to counter its poison. With the enemy unknown and the antidote still eluding them, it could morph into a true killing machine, leaving any ordinary person who crossed its path with no escape. Yi Zhen narrowed his eyes, maintaining his sitting position as he scrutinized the enclosure’s open glass casing. The restraining tools issued by the system bore special internal coatings and couldn’t be forced open from the inside, so… how on earth did i...
