138 Number One Swindler of the Three Realms! (1/2)
Chen strode towards Wen Tiandou. He intended to put an end to this blood feud. Wen Tiandou saw him approaching and knew his end was near. He gritted his teeth and fought the pain in his groin and tapped on his wristwatch.
”Hmm?” Chen noticed this and was alarmed, he was afraid that Wen Tiandou might be up to something. He rushed over quickly and stepped down hard on his neck, but he was too late. The smartwatch had already sent a message.
”What was he trying to pull? Even when he was at the gates of hell...” Chen frowned, his gut telling him something was wrong. But he had no clue whatsoever on what it was and decided not to think too much about it for now. He would deal with it when the time comes.
DING!
[For exterminating a three-lifetime evil person, you gained 30,000 merit points!]
DING!
[You have accumulated 70,000 merit points, only 20,000 left to the next merit level (Charm: 7,000; Luck: 7,000)!]
Reading the notification, Chen was jumping with joy. ”Wow! 30 thousand points in one go! That's great! My number of fans will increase! If my Weibo is getting this much attention, Beicheng Jewelry's opening the day after tomorrow will be the biggest event the town has ever seen!”
Eradicating evil men and gaining merit is the best job for him. With these collected points, he could buy items from others in the Red Envelope Group, and increase his charm and luck. Although charm and luck were not tangible stats, they had indirectly influenced and helped Chen out a great deal, especially in areas that he had never expected. So not only does exterminating evil help make the world a better place, it would also grant him many wonderful benefits that were literally out of this world!
Chen then took the Chaos Sword out and allowed it to absorb the blood of the bodies. Especially Wen Tiandou's as he was a high-level martial artist and practitioner and had much more power in his blood than the others. This gave the sword a significant boost in its strength. After he was done with that, Chen then kept all their corpses into his treasure chest. At then, these men had completely disappeared from the face of the planet without a single trace. Even if the police were to get involved, they would not be able to find any clues leading to his involvement. After double checking to make sure he did not leave any traces behind, Chen and Xiangyu drove away from the scene.
”Bother Yu, you mentioned that you want to return to being a man, tell me how and let's get it done right away. By then, you can return this body to Wenyuan and everybody is happy!”
”Yes! Master is right! I want my cute body back!” Wenyuan reacted expectantly.
Xiangyu nodded. ”It's actually very simple. I just need to die and leave this body, and then possess a second Corpse using the Soul Possession ritual.”
”If that's the case, then this is easy!” Chen said confidently. ”I have 70,000 merit points now. I just need to spend 60,000 and I'll be able to perform the ritual for the both of you!”
”No, it sounds easy but unfortunately, there's a catch!” Xiangyu sighed. ”The ritual itself is against heaven's will and a taboo. The first one may cost 30,000 points, but a second ritual costs 300,000!”
”What? 300,000? That much?” Chen was shocked. It took him a lot of time and effort to hear that 70,000 points. But 300,000? That's way above his expectations! Unless... ”Here's what I'll do: I'll go get some spicy sticks and sell them in the group. As long as I can sell 30 sticks, you'll be able to become a man very soon!” Chen smiled cheekily. ”Don't worry. They that say every problem has its solution. And spicy sticks is our solution!”
Hearing that Xiangyu gulped. ”Uhh... Bro Bei...” he said with a guilty expression. ”There's something I need to tell you...”
”Well then spit it out! Since when does Xiangyu the Great Overlord stutter?” Chen responded.
