Chapter 9

Looking at Lin Mu's coldly smiling eyes, even though Wang Peng had been in countless fights, he now felt a chill envelop his heart.

There were plenty of people on the streets who would fight until blood was drawn, but those who would unhesitatingly and without regard for consequences, directly take out a knife and slash, were few and far between.

And someone like Lin Mu, who would directly tear off someone's ear, was absolutely unique.

Thinking about this, Wang Peng's regret turned his intestines green. How could he have thought of provoking this madman!

"Today you're tough! Either you beat me to death today, or we just leave it at this. You choose!"

Though he was afraid, Wang Peng still cared about his face and tried to intimidate with harsh words.

In his mind, Lin Mu was just a student. He might have the courage for a moment, but to truly fight to the death and have a long-term confrontation with a street thug was clearly not a good idea!

After all, these thugs relied not on physical strength, but on the opponent's good nature, which made them hesitate and consider the consequences.

But Lin Mu, once he acted, would not care about the other's threats.

The wooden stick in his hand fell again, this time not on the stomach but on the arm!

"Ah! You!"

Wang Peng's body curled up, clutching his left arm, the pain making him unable to speak.

Lin Mu had directly delivered a heavy blow, breaking his arm.

Lin Mu looked at him with a cold smile, saying nothing.

Breaking the other's bones, Lin Mu was not worried.

After all, he was a student, and the other was a group of small-time thugs. Would they really report to the police?

After this fight, the other would be in the hospital for who knows how long, and even after discharge, it was unlikely they would dare to cause trouble again.

This was why Lin Mu used such harsh methods. If he didn't make the other submit at once, hesitation would only bring endless trouble.

"The green-haired kid over there, stop pretending. I know you're not seriously hurt. Get up and take your brother to the hospital!"

Putting the dagger back in his pocket, Lin Mu picked up the single-shoulder bag he had thrown under the big tree at the beginning, dusted off his clothes, and left.

From Wang Peng's eyes, he had already seen fear. Pointing out that the green-haired kid was faking his injury could also shift some of Wang Peng's hatred and cause internal strife in their group.

In a nearby dark alley, Chang Qiankun's face was pale as he looked at the few people groaning on the ground and the small piece of ear on the ground. Suddenly, he shivered and quickly left.

The green-haired kid, with a bitter face, got up, helped Wang Peng up, and together with the other few thugs, stumbled towards a familiar old military doctor's black clinic.

There was no choice. Although the white-coated angels were beautiful, the doctors who prescribed medicine were ruthless. With their meager funds, they didn't have the courage to go to the hospital and be overcharged.

...

After taking a shower in the small bathroom downstairs, Lin Mu returned to the dormitory and picked up the dagger to examine it under the light.

This was a common item that could be bought at any hardware store, but Lin Mu felt a sense of emotion.

In his previous life, he would have certainly been beaten and humiliated tonight, and even blackmailed for a long time.

But by being a bit more ruthless and less cautious, he achieved a completely opposite result.

Although he had exchanged for Jeet Kune Do, the techniques were just techniques. Ordinary people could also think of similar methods in an emergency.

It was just that a bit more "ruthlessness" in his heart could bring about such a significant change in fate!

No longer writing, Lin Mu poured the newly bought white wine into a bowl, lit it, and a layer of blue flame appeared on the bowl.

Taking off his pants, several bruises appeared, all from Wang Peng's kicks.

He dipped his hand in the wine and rubbed it hard to dispel the bruising.

"Tomorrow, I need to start exercising! I can't keep relying on 'Martial Arts Stories' to increase my reputation. Now that I have no foundation, it's a time when others might envy me. I need to earn some reputation to strengthen my power!"

Thinking about this, Lin Mu went to the Memory Palace.

After deducting the 10,000 reputation points for exchanging for D-level Jeet Kune Do, he still had over 76,000 points left.

However, the 500 reputation points from 'Martial Arts Stories' had brought him 80,000 reputation points over two months. Lin Mu, having tasted the benefits, this time directly looked at the light screen's introduction without browsing around.

The so-called Martial Arts Annex did not only contain martial arts materials and skills but also other novels, though they were not easily noticed in the deeper parts of the annex.

The light screen had suggestions for what Lin Mu could exchange, but since he was idle, he decided to explore the deeper parts and understand them thoroughly.

"The complete manuscript of 'Reader's Digest' requires 10,000 reputation points."

"The complete manuscript of 'Youth Boys and Girls' and other campus magazines requires 5,000 reputation points."

...

Lin Mu did not think about exchanging for these rooms. He even directly ordered in his mind to move these material rooms to the deepest part of the annex to avoid occupying good locations.

He didn't choose these materials because he found their content too ridiculous and had no intention of writing them.

Suddenly, Lin Mu saw a room door that caught his eye.

"The complete manuscript of 'Our Journey, the Stars and the Sea,' including the comic 'That Year, Those Rabbits,' requires 20,000 reputation points."

This was a mid-length novel that was later turned into a comic. In his previous life, Lin Mu was a fan of this book and often visited its Baidu Tieba.

His reputation points flashed, leaving over 50,000. The door in front of him, the black light dissipated, and inside was not a room but a safe-like box. A beam of white light shot into Lin Mu's mind.

"Our Journey, the Stars and the Sea" was written by a genius named "Ma She" in his previous life.

The content of the book used animals to represent countries around the world.

For example, the People's Republic of China was represented by a rabbit, known as the "Flower Family."

V4, also known as WW, also known as Taiwan, was represented by a bald man.

The Soviet Union was represented by a bear, and after its dissolution, it left behind a group of sons, including Russia (Big Bear) and Ukraine (Second Bear).

The United States was represented by a white-headed short-legged eagle, North and South Korea by chopsticks that loved to fight, Vietnam by a monkey, and Japan by a chicken, though it always thought of itself as a crane.

There were also India represented by an elephant, Pakistan by a sheep, and other camels.

All countries were turned into animals, and the transactions and wars between countries were described using anthropomorphic and humorous methods.

For example, the "Flower Family" researching the two bombs and one satellite; getting the bear drunk and buying planes at a low price; selling the Dongfeng-2 missile.

Some of the more interesting parts included the development of the "Flower Family," the military trade that坑了 (坑了 means "tricked" or "cheated") the elephant, and other animals cheating the elephant's military funds.

The entire article was light and humorous, with strong readability, and when combined with the comic, it was extremely eye-catching.

The historical development of this world was largely the same as in his previous life, with only some details differing. This story was also suitable for this world.

Most importantly, this article did not belong to the martial arts genre and could be published in another type of newspaper or magazine to increase Lin Mu's reputation.

PS: Thank you, Shen Ben Wu Ming, for the 10,000 points of support. Currently, 130 points have been received. I will no longer thank for the 10 points before reaching 10,000.
