Chapter 15

After finishing class, I didn’t even eat and rushed back to write. Considering how pitiful I am... please give me a recommendation! ┬＿┬ Also, the update times are generally between 12 PM to 2 PM, and 8 PM to 10 PM...

【Ice Soul Technique】 (Cultivation Technique)

Proficiency: 530/1000 (Second Level)

Description: A cultivation technique from the cultivation world, with ice attributes. When cultivated to perfection, it can freeze thousands of miles. However, it is said that even the creator of this technique did not achieve perfection, the reason being unknown.

Level: Gold

Jiang Han was stunned. He remembered very clearly that the proficiency of the Ice Soul Technique was only a few dozen points before. Could it be that one moment of enlightenment increased it to 530 points? An instant increase of 500 points?

"Is this a joke..."

Jiang Han suddenly felt that all his previous hard work in cultivation was for nothing. What’s the point of cultivating? Just have a moment of enlightenment!

"System, how does this enlightenment thing work? Can you help me have more moments of enlightenment?"

"Whoosh!" A light screen instantly appeared before Jiang Han’s eyes, then split into several sections. Jiang Han was delighted, thinking the system had finally given him a backdoor. But upon closer inspection, Jiang Han suddenly felt an urge to smash the light screen!

...

Jiang Han: "..."

Staring blankly at the light screen for a while, Jiang Han opened his mouth and spat out a word that fully expressed his current mood.

"Damn!"

"Are you kidding me? Why are you showing me all this stuff? Do you think I can afford it?!"

Jiang Han was very depressed. He thought the system was being merciful, but it still wanted to charge! This was clearly just to make him angry!

The items the system displayed were all at least 880,000 Dream Coins, and even if he sold himself, he couldn’t afford them.

Moreover, the 880,000 Dream Coin items could only increase the chance of entering an enlightened state, while the more expensive ones could permanently enhance certain physical attributes.

Jiang Han looked at the light screen with longing, wishing he could grab all the items!

Unfortunately, there is a kind of sorrow called "seeing but not touching"...

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He suspected the system was deliberately making him drool!

"Damn it, when I become powerful, I will definitely find you, and if you’re male, I’ll castrate you, and if you’re female... it depends on the situation..."

After a bout of complaining, Jiang Han could only accept the reality. He realized that the system was purely a scam, and wanting it to give him things for free... could only be a dream.

So Jiang Han made a serious decision... to sleep first!

With a thought, the floating light screen disappeared. Jiang Han fell onto the bed and closed his eyes.

"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep... eighty-six sheep, eighty-eight sheep..."

Jiang Han’s voice grew weaker and weaker, soon becoming like a murmur, inaudible.

In fact, although Jiang Han did not participate in the battle that day, for him, who was participating in the first hunt for demonic beasts, it was a psychological torment.

Excitement and fear, two somewhat contradictory emotions, coexisted, pushing his mental state to the limit.

In addition, he had drunk a lot, although the drunkenness was gone, the mental numbness still lingered, so Jiang Han quickly fell asleep.

...

The warm sunlight filtered through the window, shining on Jiang Han’s face, as if giving him a veil, creating a peculiar sense of mystery.

His long eyelashes fluttered, and Jiang Han opened his eyes, rubbing them and slowly sitting up.

"Hmm, I slept for so long." Jiang Han looked at the big sun outside, roughly estimating the time, and found it was nearly noon.

"Ah, it seems the psychological pressure was really too much yesterday."

Since coming to this world, Jiang Han had almost always been crazily cultivating, sleeping no more than six hours a day. This time, he slept for ten hours, which was quite "luxurious."

"Everyone should be awake by now, right?" Jiang Han muttered to himself, tidied up his clothes and hair, and walked out.

At this time, the adventurer’s tavern was already crowded. As soon as he stepped out, the noisy sounds came, making Jiang Han frown.

"Damn, the influence of the Ice Soul Technique is too great. I don’t want to become a hermit... that would be too pitiful, what’s the point of life then."

Jiang Han muttered to himself as he went downstairs.

"You finally woke up, you sure can sleep!" Blind Man’s remaining eye was quite sharp, and he saw Jiang Han coming down from upstairs, walking over to greet him.

"Where are the others?" Jiang Han glanced at where Blind Man had been, and saw that only Wei Yifei was sitting there drinking tea, which made him curious.

"Hey, the boss and Shi Jian were probably overworked last night and haven’t woken up yet. The others have all gone home. As for Sister Yan and Sister Qing... you know!" Blind Man winked at Jiang Han, but with only one eye, it looked quite comical.

Jiang Han instantly understood, chuckled, and didn’t dwell on the topic.

"Xiao Han, this is your reward." Wei Yifei threw a bag to Jiang Han, "A total of 600 gold coins, check if it’s correct."

Jiang Han caught the bag casually, but was taken aback by Wei Yifei’s words, frowning, "600 gold coins? That seems a bit too much."

"Not too much." Wei Yifei smiled and shook his head, "The total reward for the mission was 5000 gold coins. 1000 gold coins were given to the families of Man Shan and Guang Cai. The tavern took 50 gold coins. The rest was supposed to be divided equally, but since you’re leaving, we decided to give you a bit more."

Seeing that Jiang Han was about to protest, Wei Yifei continued, "Don’t refuse. We’re all brothers. The brothers are all poor, and since you’re leaving, we can’t give you much. Just take these gold coins as a gift."

"But..." Jiang Han was still hesitant because he hadn’t done anything, and he hadn’t contributed to killing the Green-striped Python. Taking so many gold coins made him feel guilty.

"Don’t be so sentimental." Blind Man laughed, "Don’t forget, the Green-striped Python hasn’t been sold yet. When it is, everyone will get as much gold as you."

Jiang Han was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly, "I won’t say sentimental words. If I fail in the future and become destitute, I’ll come back to find you guys. Don’t look down on me, ha ha!"

"Destitute?" Blind Man was taken aback, then laughed, "If you dare to become destitute, I guarantee everyone will welcome you back... with a beating!"

"Then I’ll try to be successful to avoid getting beaten by my brothers!" Jiang Han smiled bitterly.

"Be successful and don’t forget your brothers!" Blind Man laughed.

"Of course!"

"Since you’ve slept for so long, you must be hungry. Blind Man, go ask the boss to bring some food." Wei Yifei smiled.

"Why me?" Blind Man glared.

"Because I’m sitting, and you’re standing. It’s more convenient for you to go." Wei Yifei took a sip of tea, matter-of-factly.

Blind Man: "...You’re ruthless!"

"Thank you for the compliment, I’m honored!"

"..."

Blind Man grumbled and stood up to call for food. The tavern was quick, and the food was soon served. The three were all hungry and didn’t chat, focusing on eating.

Just as they were halfway through their meal, someone sat down at the table. The three looked up and were all startled.

Lu Bai Chuan was staring at them with huge dark circles under his eyes, looking... quite exhausted.

"Hey, the boss is awake." Wei Yifei teased, "I thought you guys would sleep until evening."

"Go play in the mud!" Lu Bai Chuan glared at him, then turned to Blind Man, "Blind Man, quickly go get some food for the boss, I’m starving."

"…Why me again?" Blind Man was taken aback, then complained.

"Quickly, or no bonus."

"You’re even more ruthless..." Blind Man’s lips twitched, and he got up without hesitation to get food.

Lu Bai Chuan glanced at Blind Man’s back, "Why did he say ‘even more’?"

Wei Yifei: "...Maybe to fully express his resentment!"

"Hey, boss, how was it last night?" Jiang Han leaned in, grinning.

"Go ask Sister Yan!"

"I’m afraid Sister Yan will skin me alive." Jiang Han pouted.

"Then are you not afraid of me?" Lu Bai Chuan glared.

"Ha, if you skin me, Sister Yan will skin you."

"…" Lu Bai Chuan rolled his eyes, "Although I don’t want to admit it, it’s quite possible."

As the two were chatting, Shi Jian, with even darker circles under his eyes and a miserable look, staggered over to the group.

"This... damn..." Lu Bai Chuan swallowed, "...Sister Qing is really fierce..."

Shi Jian: "..."

"Brother Shi, how do you feel?" Jiang Han asked with a smile.

Shi Jian: "..."

"Why aren’t you speaking? Can’t you express your satisfaction in words?" Jiang Han asked again.

"..."

"Looks like it’s true." Jiang Han muttered to himself.

"…Get lost." Shi Jian opened his mouth, weakly spitting out a word.

"…" Jiang Han shrugged, then stood up, "Looks like we need to order more food. I’ll go tell Blind Man."

Shi Jian suddenly grabbed Jiang Han, staring straight at him, "I need something nourishing..."
