In a dog eat dog world, where blood is actually thinner than water, and people would kill each other over meaningless reasons.
a 21ths century young man finds himself inside an egg shaped like a box.
cracking the shell that was hs prison, he sets off to become the person that will one day become the sky monarch.
Errr... The bird*

"Me?" Lan Fengli tilted his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
Qi Xia nodded and said, "With the current situation in Sun Never Sets, it is not suitable for Xiaoxiao to leave on her own accord. Even though the five of us have the help of our mythical beasts, we each have our own responsibilities. Plus, Xiao Feng is the most powerful among us. If he leads the charge with two Phoenixes by his side, I believe it would not be difficult to capture a high-level magical beast."
Qi Xia and the others had yet to figure out how strong Lan Fengli was. The only thing they knew was that their mythical beasts had warned them not to provoke this seemingly silent young man. Once he flared up, even they would find it hard to resist.
Qi Xia's words made sense. The six most powerful people in Sun Never Sets were the Phantom members, but they had a lot of responsibilities in Sun Never Sets. Capturing high-level magical beasts was not something that could be done in a short time. If they were to do it, it would probably cause the administration of Sun Never Sets to be paralyzed. On the other hand, Lan Fengli did not have any special position in Sun Never Sets, and the two Phoenixes only had the job of protecting Sun Never Sets.
Even if they were sent out, it would not cause any problems.
Shen Yanxiao quietly listened. She would certainly put up the task to the Bounty Hall, but how many hidden experts were there in the Brilliance Continent? Many experts had been roped in by various forces, and they would not take action unless there were adequate rewards, so there would not be many that she could invite. Moreover, she wanted more than eighty high-level magical beasts—a task that couldn't be delayed for too long. The beast tide was coming in a year so before that, she had to rearm the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group as soon as possible.
After a magical beast signed a contract with their master, it would require a period of time for them to get familiar with each other before they could engage in a real fight. This familiarization period would take at least half a year.
In other words, Shen Yanxiao only had half a year to find eighty plus high-level magical beasts!
However…
"Xiao Feng, are you willing?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Lan Fengli. She rarely ordered him to do anything. Lan Fengli was her close brother so she definitely had to consider his opinion. If he did not want to go, then she would think of other ways.
Lan Fengli looked at Shen Yanxiao and a shy smile suddenly surfaced on his fair face. Two traces of redness climbed up his cheeks and he obediently nodded. "As long as I can help Sister, I will do it."
As long as he could make Shen Yanxiao happy and safe, he would do anything.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the well-behaved Lan Fengli with heartache. This little tail was usually silent, but it would always stand by her side when she needed it.
It felt good to have a younger brother.
"Since Xiao Feng has agreed, I will make a map of the distribution of magical beasts in the Brilliance Continent later. But before capturing the magical beasts, Xiaoxiao needs something else." Qi Xia said.
"What?" Shen Yanxiao was surprised.
"Magical beast box."
"Magical beast box?" Shen Yanxiao was puzzled.
"A magical beast box is a space box used to transport magical beasts after capturing them. The interior imitates the mental energy of humans and by keeping a magical beast in the box, it can reduce its size and be carried around easily. This is something that many merchants that peddle magical beasts would carry." Qi Xia was indeed worthy of being the young master of a merchant family as he knew these things by heart.
"Is this box hard to purchase?" Shen Yanxiao asked.
"It's not difficult, but it's a little expensive." Qi Xia touched his nose and chuckled." A magical beast box that can contain high-level magical beasts costs around 100,000 gold coins."


She is one of the best thieves that the world has seen in the 24th century. However, not even in her wildest dreams had she imagine that she'd be reincarnated as a good-for-nothing orphaned Seventh Miss of the Vermilion Bird Family.

In a world of magic, she finds that the strength and talent within her would not only shock the world but also put every prodigy in that world to shame. As she learns to control her power, she vows to take revenge on those who had wronged her and to eventually rule the world.

Equipped with only her new memories, quick wit and thieving skills, follow her as she embarks on a journey where she'd navigate mean relatives, magical beasts, rulership, and maybe even… love?

"Alright! " Li Yue frowned and looked at the group of children coldly. "Don't bully your classmates in the future. Only by uniting and loving each other can you achieve success. "
She tidied up the things on the lectern. "Now, let me introduce this instructor Yao to you. "
Instructor Yao stood up and walked to the lectern. He was dressed in an instructor's uniform, and he really had a noble and righteous temperament.
"Hello, everyone. I'm the instructor who will be accompanying you for the next half a month of military training. My surname is Yao, female Zhao Yao. "
Everyone quickly greeted him, "Hello, instructor Yao! "
"Okay. "
He nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze swept past Ling Jue. He was stroking his Chin and looking at himself with a faint smile.
"Alright, instructor Yao will be in charge of everything from now on. Be Good and listen to me. I'll go to the meeting first. " She gave everyone some instructions, then took the documents and left.
Yao mingzhang looked at the students below and opened the register. "Now, find a few boys to go with me to carry your military training clothes. "
Hearing this news, everyone was a little scared. After all, they were on the fifth floor, so it was unimaginable for them to carry forty sets of clothes.
"since no one is recommending themselves, I'll go by name. Lin Mu, Song Xiao, and Wang Sheng. " He looked at the names on the name list and pointed at three people who were ranked last but had no background. Then, the last person looked up at Ling Jue. "Ling Jue. "
He closed the name list. "The few of you, come with me. "
Lu Yilie looked at Ling Jue with a bit of ridicule. What bad luck. He was targeted by the instructor as soon as he came over. who asked this kid to be so arrogant.
Ling Jue stood up calmly. She put her hands in her pockets and walked out with her classmates.
Instructor Yao walked in front. He smiled evilly when he saw Ling Jue's indifferent look.
They walked to the parking lot. The people from the other classes were lining up to get their clothes.
Brand new clothes were handed down from the truck one by one. Someone was responsible for recording them.
"Class A 5,40 sets have been completed. Next class. "
"Hello, Class A 8 has 20 people. There are a total of 40 sets. "
"Okay. "
"..."
The people in the front were leading the line. Ling Jue realized that there were two sets of clothes, pants, and a hat. There were also shoes for military training.
There were seven or eight people from the other classes, but only four from their class came. If they carried all of them, they would not be able to carry all of them.
So, was instructor Yao trying to pick on her?
He wanted her to carry more than ten sets of clothes by herself And a box of shoes Hehe.
A calculation flashed across Ling Jue's eyes. Although she did not know who instructor Yao was, the way he was picking on her made her laugh. It was too obvious.
"Next class, " the person in the truck shouted.
Instructor Yao walked up. "Class A 1,20 people, 40 sets. "
"Okay, come and get them. "
The person in the truck handed the clothes over. Lin Mu and the other two took ten sets each.
"The three of you go up first. Send the clothes to the students according to the size. Ling Jue and I will get the shoes and come up immediately. "
"Okay. "
The three of them nodded and left with the things in their hands.
Ling Jue was about to leave with the ten sets of clothes when Yao Zhang's eyes flashed. He took the shoes that were placed in the big box.
"Ling Jue, wait a minute. You take this too. " He ran up quickly and placed the box of shoes in his hands.
Ling Jue quickly took a few steps back. The box and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground.
Clang
The loud noise attracted the attention of the people who were still waiting in line.
Ling Jue looked at Yao Zhang coldly. "What is the instructor trying to do? Abuse a teenager? Not only do you want me to take so many clothes, you want me to take the big box? "

Seeing the notification pop up Arthur didn't hesitate to issue a command to his squad. Using the Asgard Military Interface, he accesses the mission center sharing his compulsory mission using his authority as Sergeant.

"Squad, quickly open up your lieutenant gift box and prepare for battle. It seems that the horn of the battlefield has already been sounded and we are to report to the western battlefront immediately." Arthur said.

[Welcome gift box]
A gift box lieutenant Jeffrey meticulously prepare to increase his subordinate chances of survival.

"Let share information about the things we obtain so we can coordinate better." Arthur said. Emmanuel and Aleria didn't see any problem in that, they lay what they obtain in the welcome gift box for everyone to see. 

Arthur gift box contains 7 sets of military uniform. 1 flask of water, 1 set of dry meat (100 pieces), 50 pc of grenade, an assault rifle with 2 sets of bullets (200 pieces), a Shin Gunto (Katana) and a skill book containing slash.

Aleria gift box contains 7 sets of military uniform. 1 flask of water, 1 set of dry meat (100 pieces), a Sawback Bowie knife, a .950 caliber contender pistol with 1 set of bullet (100 pieces), and skill book containing stab. 

Emmanuel gift box contains 7 sets of military uniform. 1 flask of water, 1 set of dry meat (100 pieces),50pc of grenade, an assault rifle with 2 sets of bullets (200 pieces), chainmail, a shield and a skill book containing block.

After organizing all the things they receive, Arthur and the squad put everything in their inventory. 

'Lieutenant Jeffrey gifts are specifically tailored to our needs, it seems that the army is not as simple as it seems, they manage to investigated us so thoroughly with so little time. It seems that I need to speed up climbing the ranks' Arthur thought.

Arthur retrieves the skill book slash in his inventory. It is just a normal gray color book with a single word slash in the cover but as he opens it, another transparent screen pop up.

Slash [Lv.1]
To cut (something) with a violent sweeping movement, typically using a knife or sword.

Do you wish to learn it?
[Yes] [No]

As Arthur selected yes, information started flooding into his head. Retrieving his Shin Gunto he swings his sword according to the information. 

"Swish" 

'Amazing, I'm not a master in using a katana but I can say I know I thing or two, that slash I just did is nothing amazing but it encompasses something that shouldn't exist'

'I can feel energy zipping out of me as I perform the slash, it seems that it was mana. It's similar to the man from before did but only weaker' Arthur thought to himself.

'If I can integrate mana to all my technique It's no telling how strong I'm gonna be' As Arthur contemplating the possibility of mana, Emmanuel snaps him to in his trance.

"Arthur stops daydreaming, Aleria is already gone out. Are we still not going" He said. 

"Why didn't you stop her?" Arthur said.

"You know that is impossible." 

"Alright, alright. Let just gear up and catch up to her."

Situation like this really makes Arthur wonder if he is really the one incharged. He did understand Emmanuel following him as they already fought together before plus he still tier 0 and sticking with him is his safest option. 

But Aleria is different they are on the same squad before but he hardly saw her. Her strength is also amazing, he can't really think of anything why she will stick around with them.

'Is she someone sent by those bastards to watch me? but that's impossible I cleary erase everything. In the eyes of the world, the past me didn't even exist.' Arthur thought.

"Do you know Aleria before Emmanuel?" Arthur said 

Thinking Emmanuel said, "I don't think I met her before, why you like her?"

'This doesn't make any sense' Not being able to find out anything Arthur decided to push things in the back of her mind and decided to focus on the things at hand.

"No, you can have her. She's too cold for my blood" He said jokingly.

"Nah, Sergeant Rina is more of my type" Emmanuel said thinking about the sergeant beauty. 

Arthur jokingly expression suddenly turns to a glare. 'This bastard has the nerve to fantasize with my wife' 

Emmanuel continues putting on his gear totally unaware of Arthur glare. After putting his shield in his back he is now ready.

"I'm done," Emmanuel said looking in a mirror. Emmanuel can help smiling seeing his manly appearance.  

Seeing this Arthur can't help but feel irritated. "Stop looking stupid and let's go." 

"What's up with you?" Feeling Arthur's hostile attitude, Emmanuel is puzzled. He's joking a minute ago.' Is he got jealous of my handsome appearance?' Emmanuel thought to himself.

"Nothing, Let's just go." Seeing that Emmanuel is thinking something idiotic. Arthur decided that it will be a waste of time getting angry with a person like this. 

"Let's return to the battlefield."

Nix stretched sleepily, the warm sheets not wanting to release him. Slowly he rolled out of bed and dressed in the low light of dawn.  He'd always been an early riser.  He headed back to his own room and got to work.  He was planning on doing a bit of exploring and more hunting.  Sila had mentioned the capitol city of Jenzi in Escavar.  According to her, he could make a lot of money as a Tailor.  After much prodding, she gave him enough information to form a plan.  

Starting your own shop in Jenzi required millions of credits.  If you aimed a bit lower than your own boutique, you could rent a cart and sell it from the market square.  He took a seat on his bed and got to work.  First, he made three sets of work clothes for Hyai.  Soft fabric that let the body breathe. He had to guess what sort of patterns she would like.  He finished it off by making a half dozen sets of underwear.  She had been generous with him, so he didn't stop there.  Some cold-weather coats, socks, gloves, and hats were also added to the list.  He put them all in a box and walked downstairs.  

No one was up yet, So Nix sat the box in the kitchen and left a note on it. He found the town portal and brought up the menu options.  Since he was below level 20, there was no cost. He chose Jenzi on the continent of Escavar.  The menu said there was a four hour time difference, so it would be 1000 hrs there.  

Jenzi was a coastal town right off the Sea of Hope.  A pleasant ocean breeze cooled his face when he stepped off the platform in the market square.  There were several market kiosks off to one side, so Nix keyed the menu on one.  The day cart passes were listed as sold out.  

"I didn't realize the time difference."  Nix felt like cussing until he saw the young girl.  She had curly brown hair and bright blue eyes.  

The little girl walked up to him, her arms crossed in front of her. "I bet you are looking for a day shop, right?"  

Nix nodded. "How did you know that?"  

The little girl gave him a serious look. "I'm a tailor, so I can pick out other tailors easy." 

Nix glanced around, not sure if she was serious. "I see.  What do you want?"

"You can put your items on consignment in my shop.  I'll keep thirty percent."

Nix pretended to consider it.  "Thirty percent is robbery.  Why don't you just steal all my money?"  

"I'm a reputable person!  I'm Shana from Shana's Boutique."

"Nice to meet you, Shana, I'm Nix."  

"Good name."  Shana started walking away; she turned she realized he wasn't following.  "You coming?"  

"You aren't luring me away to get mugged and robbed, are you?" 

Shana shook her head, "You obviously don't have anything worth taking."  

Nix followed her, smiling at the back of her head while she sped away.  

There several shops that sold, armors, weapons, and clothes, but there were only two tailors on Main Street.  One was a beaten-down old shop on the corner lot.  The other was a two-story building next to a restaurant.  The two-story building and the restaurant both had fancy signs with the same name on them, so Nix assumed that one person owned them both.  

The young girl made a face at the La'Mon Boutique sign and walked passed it to the corner lot.

The door creaked when it was opened.  An elderly lady and a young woman were sitting behind the counter.  Walking in, he noticed that most of the shelves and hangers were empty.  The shop had definitely seen better days.  

"I'm back!"  Shana announced her arrival and joined the two women at the counter.

The younger woman narrowed her eyes at the girl.  Nix had the feeling that Shana would have been in trouble had he not been there.

"Greetings Sir,  Welcome to Shana's Boutique."  The older woman stood up and walked around the counter to greet him.  She wore a pretty white dress with blue floral patterns on it.  

"Thank you."  Nix glanced around the empty shop.  "I'm Nix. Are you out of business or something?"

"Of course, we aren't out of business.  Just waiting for new stock."  Shana had her hands on her hips.  "Show them what you got, Nix!"  

"Um..."  Nix looked at the two women and then at the young girl.  He struggled to keep a serious look on his face.

"I'm very sorry, sir.  My daughter can be a bit much at times."  Without a doubt, the woman was Shana's mother. She had the same curly brown hair and bright blue eyes.  "I'm Lela, the sales clerk here.  This is my mother, Maye." 

"It's fine mom."  Shana patted the counter.  "Show em the goods, Nix!"  

"That's enough, Shana.  Go in the back room and wait for me."  Lela turned back toward Nix.  "I'm so sorry, sir." 

Nix couldn't bear the look of dejection on the little girl's face as she started walking away with her head down. "Wait, please, Shana, and I agreed for consignment at thirty percent." He pulled a box out of his inventory and sat them on the counter.  "I made these.  I hope you will honor our agreement."  

The older woman looked from Nix to the box on the counter.  "You are actually a tailor?"

Shana's face lit up, she quickly jumped up on a chair behind the counter and stared at the box like it was a birthday cake.  "I told you he was Gram.  Open the box!"

The older woman glanced at her daughter, who seemed to be frozen in shock.  "Let's take a look then."  She opened the box and looked inside.  Her old hands picked up the first piece of lingerie.  "Oh my... these are quite nice."  There were also a few sets of undergarments in the box, which she also took out and placed on the counter.  

If Nix felt kindness for anyone, it was the elderly and the very young. He watched while she went through his work. "What do you think, Maye?"  

"I can price general lingerie at 10k, sets of underwear at 10-15k, depending on the color." Maye's blue eyes studied him.  "Custom items would sell higher, but that would require you to be here."

Nix nodded in agreement, that was basically what Sila had told him. "I just need space to work for a few hours, and we'll be good."

"Shana, show Mr. Nix to the back shop."  Lela pulled a sign stand from behind the counter and wrote the words "Women's Undergarments for sale!"  She dragged it outside and set it in front of her shop.  

Nix started out using cotton fabric and made several dozen pairs of underwear in blue, white, and red.  He laughed at himself, "I'm making ladies underwear. Lisa would have found that hilarious."  

*********

Lela poked her head in the back shop two hours later.  Nix was still working. "Can you bring some of the product out?  There's a line that goes around the corner."  

Nix looked up when she spoke.  "One hundred sets of cotton underwear, assorted colors.  Fifty sets of silk underwear, all red.  Thirty pieces of lingerie, also red."  

"So many?"  Lela watched as box after box was placed on the floor.  

"Yep.  I'll come back tomorrow morning around 0800."  

"Mr. Nix.  Don't you want to wait for your money?"  

"Just Nix is fine."  He walked toward the back exit. "I'll pick it up tomorrow when I drop off more product."  

It was nearly 1300 by the time Nix returned to the Market Square, he bought a box lunch for 15 credits from one of the vendors and ate it while he walked toward the front gate.  

Outside the gate, there were dozens of groups looking to add one or two more members.  Nix had asked Sila a lot of questions while they lay in bed. She told him always to find a group with a healer.

In the end, he found a 20 level archer that wanted to hunt turtles.  She insisted that no healer was needed because of their lack of speed. 

[You've been invited to a group by Ronnie.  Do you accept?]

"Yes."  

Ronnie was a dark woman with jet black hair and chocolate brown eyes.  She was dressed in brown leather armor and wore her long hair in a ponytail.  

"Nix, right?  Follow me to the cove, and we'll get started."  Ronnie trotted westward from the city, towards the sound of crashing waves.  

When they arrived, Nix discovered dozens of 20 level black sea turtles.  There were no other hunters around.  "Hey, how come no one else is hunting these?"  

Ronnie looked at the ground, a flicker of guilt on her face.  "They have really high HP and Armor."  

Nix felt like he had been conned.  "Isn't that a problem?"  

Ronnie nodded. "Normally, yes, but I have a new bow that increases my armor-piercing shots.  I think it will speed things along." 

"Let's try a few."  Nix moved to one side, not bothering to take his rifle out.  

Ronnie drew her bow back and let it fly towards the nearest turtle.  The turtle turned and slowly made its way toward them.  Ronnie was shooting arrow after arrow.  "Come on, Nix!"

Nix extended his hand and sent a Fire strand at it.  Immediately it stopped and started taking fire damage.

"Holy shit!  You're a CC class?"  Ronnie kept shooting, her damage increasing steadily.  

It died much easier than either of them would have thought.

Ronnie looted the turtle.  She had mentioned that she was doing this for the shells. "Your CC is fire-based?  Turtles are water-creatures, so that makes them weak against fire attacks."

Nix noticed his skinning option was highlighted on his hud.

[Do you wish to skin a Black Sea Turtle?]

"Yes."

[A Black Sea Turtle pelt has been added to your inventory.]

Ronnie looked surprised.  "Turtles can be skinned?"  

Nix shrugged.  "Guess so, let's keep going."  

They worked hard throughout the afternoon.  Nix had leveled up four times while Ronnie leveled up twice.  

"That CC of yours is badass."  They had cleaned out the entire cove by themselves.  

Nix checked his hud.  "Let's call it a day."  

"Okay."  

[Ronnie has requested to add you to her friend's list.  Do you accept?]

"Yes."  

"Want to try more turtles tomorrow?  I know where some higher-level ones are.  No one ever tries them."  

Nix nodded at her.  "Okay, 1000 hrs at the front gate."

Ronnie flashed her white teeth at him.  "Cya, then!"

New Instagram channel opened @bocazador

Bai Yun went down to the alchemy room and started to study the recipe that the shopkeeper had given him. It was a local recipe and Bai Yun had never seen it before. But since it was quite a simple recipe, it only took Bai Yun a few minutes to understand it.
After Bai Yun studied it, he understood that it was a recipe for a pill that could help in cultivation at the qi condensation realm. Bai Yun had many recipes for many such pills in his memory. Most of them were far more effective than the one in his hand. There were some which even used the same ingredients.
But after thinking about this for a while, Bai Yun decided to use the same ingredients as the ones given, and the same recipe too. If he had changed the recipe too much, then the shopkeeper would notice. But he did decide to improve it a little bit. It would not increase the efficiency by a lot, maybe ten percent, and reduce the pill toxins a little. It would be of some help, but people would just chalk it up to chance. The shopkeeper would not notice such a small change.
Bai Yun put away the excess sets of raw materials quickly and got to work on the pill. Bai Yun was confident that he could definitely have a hundred percent success rate in making this pill. In fact, this pill was so simple that even regular alchemists would have more than a seventy five percent success rate.
Bai Yun spent the entire day until midnight making pills. As time passed, he became more and more proficient in making the pill. So the time taken to make a pill decreased, and the quality of the pill also increased quickly. Toward the end of the night, Bai Yun could even make pills with circles, but he refrained from doing so. He didn't want to make pills that were of too high a quality, and scare the shopkeeper. A pill with a circle was a big deal in terracotta hill after all.
After this Bai Yun went upstairs to train and then went to sleep in the morning. The next day, Bai Yun didn't open his shop, but continued to refine pills. This day he was a lot more confident of his success, and decided to make two cauldrons of pills at a time.
Making two sets of pills at the same time was exponentially more complicated than making just one set. Not only did you have to split your focus and energy, Bai Yun also had to control the hundred beast flame. Thankfully Bai Yun had the infinitude heavenly thought to help him. At first, Bai Yun was not too familiar with the process and wasted a few sets of raw materials. But he quickly got used to the process, and once again started to succeed. After a few failures, Bai Yun had a hundred percent success rate once again.
Bai Yun spend most of the day making two sets of pills in parallel. Towards the end of the day, he even tried to make three sets in parallel. When he tried that, sometimes one of the sets of raw materials would go to waste. But Bai Yun had more than enough to experiment and improve his alchemy skills.
Bai Yun spend the next few days in a similar manner. He would work on the pills in the day time and train in various battle techniques in the night time. As time passed Bai Yun grew more and more proficient in both, but he was unable to make a definite breakthrough in his battle techniques. But on the pill making side, Bai Yun was able to successfully make four pills at a time. Bai Yun thought that he could try for a higher number of cauldrons simultaneously, but he was not confident of maintaining the quality. He had wasted a few sets of ingredients while mastering this, but it was only a fraction compared to the amount of spare raw materials he had called collected from the shopkeeper.
Finally, three days later Bai Yun finished with the quota he had taken from the shopkeeper. Bai Yun still had an entire day left to make the pill, but he had finished faster than he thought. As he grew more and more familiar with the pill, Bai Yun's speed at producing the pill also increased.
After finishing all the pills, Bai Yun took out another few sets of raw ingredients. These sets consisted of the best ingredients among the ones given to him by the shopkeeper.
Bai Yun wanted to use these sets of ingredients to make pills. Except that Bai Yun was going to use a slightly different recipe than the one given by the shopkeeper. He was using a better recipe using the same ingredients so that the shopkeeper would not be able to say that Bai Yun copied their recipe. Bai Yun was planning on making a pill with multiple circles. Not only would this be a reaffirmation of his skills, he could also sell it for a lot of money.
Bai Yun then spend an hour meditating carefully to recover himself to the optimum position. Bai Yun then very carefully started to prepare the pill.
It took Bai Yun over an hour to make the pill. It was a long time considering that Bai Yun only took ten minutes to make a set of the same pill. Of course, Bai Yun was working with a much more complex recipe, but the fundamentals were the same.
When Bai Yun opened up the cauldron, he saw a single pill lying at the bottom of the cauldron. Bai Yun quickly pulled it out of the cauldron and studied it carefully. He gave a small smile when he saw two circles on the pill.
Bai Yun carefully put the pill away in a jade bottle. After this Bai Yun once again rested for a while before beginning on the next set of pills.
All in all, Bai Yun made ten sets of pills. Of the ten, eight of them had two circles, and two of them even had three circles on them. Bai Yun very carefully put away each and every pill in a separate bottle. Bai Yun was planning on auctioning off these pills with the help of the Alchemist Association. After all, pills with circles were not that valuable to ordinary people unless they had four circles or above. But alchemists, especially alchemists of a backward place like terracotta hill, would definitely pay great prices to get pills with circles to study them.
And it was also due to this that Bai Yun stopped with just ten pills. Having a lot of them would reduce their value and Bai Yun would not be able to sell them for a lot.
After making these pills, Bai Yun directly went to sleep without training. Not only had he wasted a lot of time on making those pills, it was also necessary to take breaks in training every now and then. When you go back to a technique after taking a break, it could give you new inspiration.
The next day Bai Yun finally opened his shop. When he did so the shopkeeper was a bit surprised. He quickly ran over to see if everything was alright. He was worried as Bai Yun was supposed to hand over the pills tomorrow, and he seemed to have finished working already, a day in advance. It was only after Bai Yun showed him all the pills that he finally calmed down.
The shopkeeper quickly looked through all the pills that Bai Yun had made to make sure that there were no defective products. After this, he quickly paid Bai Yun and went back to his shop.
Bai Yun sat in the shop for the entire day, but once again no one came in. After closing up his shop, Bai Yun went back up to train.
The next day also Bai Yun opened the shop at noon. Bai Yun was almost about to close the shop when two people suddenly walked into the store. One of them was a burly middle aged man with a scar on his face The other was a thin young man. With one look Bai Yun could guess that they were mercenaries.
"We would like a consultation." The middle aged man with a scar said.
Bai Yun nodded and pointed to a few chairs opposite him. The two people quickly sat down opposite Bai Yun. Bai Yun closed the door of the shop to give them some privacy. Bai Yun then sat down and raised his eyebrow in question to ask them what they wanted to discuss.
The middle aged man looked around for a while before taking out a jade box from inside his backpack. He then handed over the box to Bai Yun.
"Consultations aren't free." Bai Yun said without opening the box. "Of course this is only in the case that I can answer your questions. Otherwise, there is no charge."
The two men looked over at each other, and then turned to Bai Yun and nodded. Bai Yun then opened the box.
Inside the box was a colorful little flower. It looked like a violet rose in the middle. It was surrounded by red petals like a lotus. At the end of each of the petals was a small fruit like green bud.
"We found this flower in the evergreen hills. We hadn't seen anything like it before, but we figured that it must be quite valuable from its looks. So we took it around to various places to have it analyzed. But no one could tell us what it was. The last shop we went to said that there's a shop here that claimed to be able to make any pill in the qi step and also does consultations, and told us to try our luck here." The middle aged man explained.
Bai Yun took a close look at the flower. Then sniffed and licked the flower. After this Bai Yun took a needle and scraped it along the flower's petals. Bai Yun then dipped the needle in a potion only to see the potion turn black. Bai Yun then studied the flower for a while longer before going silent.
"There is a flower called morning glory sunflower." Bai Yun finally said after a while. "It is a common and powerful medicinal herb of the soul step. It is a key ingredient in many medicines. If there were any of it in Terracotta hill, the city lord will probably kill for it."
"Are you telling me this is a morning glory sunflower?" The thin young man asked hopefully.
"God no. If it were one, all those shopkeepers would recognize it." Bai Yun said. "And they would have never let you leave with a morning glory sunflower. They would have used all of their tricks to make you think that this was a simple flower and would have made you sell it to them for cheap."
"So why did you mention the morning glory sunflower?" The middle aged man asked.
"Because this is a mutated version of the morning glory sunflower." Bai Yun said. "Not just the appearance, but the medical properties of the herb had also changed drastically. It would be of no use even if someone was to add this to a recipe that called for a morning glory sunflower. That is why no one was able to recognize it."
"We don't care what it is. We just need to know if it is valuable?" The young man asked.
"There is not a single person in terracotta hill, including me, who would buy this thing." Bai Yun said.
Hearing this the duo looked sad. They had come here with great hope that they had found a windfall. Bai Yun smiled when he saw their reaction. And then Bai Yun said the finisher.
"That is because no one would be able to afford it."

After the black armor was put on her, it suddenly expanded and covered her body.
But Damon frowned. Why did it look like a nightgown?
The armor on Mindy hung loosely, like pajamas on a baby.
Sensing that something was wrong, Mindy said regretfully, "Is it too long? Did you give me my father's?"
Luke patted her head with a smile and the loose armor was suddenly put away. "It has an instruction manual. You can read it later. Simply put, it's bulletproof, has basic optical camouflage, and has an anti-electronic surveillance function to a certain extent."
Both father and daughter gaped. "So awesome?"
The armor which Luke had provided them with before was mainly bulletproof, and the other functions had to be made with external components.
In the last half-year, however, it had also allowed them to repeatedly escape the ambush of their nemesis, Frank D'Amico, and to even kill many of his subordinates.
Now, such thin clothing had even better functionality.
"It's best to dress quickly in an emergency. There's a separate bulletproof tablet in the box, and you need to carry it with you when you're gearing up. If you don't bring it with you, the armor will only stop small caliber bullets - large caliber bullets will still hurt. Also, the optical camouflage and anti-surveillance functions are rather ordinary, and can only prevent you from being detected by ordinary equipment in an emergency. You'll still need to bring your professional equipment with you when you're on an official operation."
Mindy was already jumping around the room. "Wow, it's so light. It's much more comfortable than what I was wearing before."
Damon was too experienced; after hearing Luke's introduction, a thought suddenly popped into his head, and he asked, "How much does it cost?"
"Around a million dollars for two sets," said Luke casually.
Actually, not even including the labor costs, the materials for the two sets of armor already cost almost a million bucks.
Damon said, "Well, our money…"
Looking at his face, Luke smiled and said, "Just put in on your tab for now. I trust you."
Relieved, Damon said with a bitter smile, "Wait." Then, he went to the secret room and came back out with a large box.
"This is 1.5 million. Everything we owe you from before is here." Damon opened the box and gestured. "I didn't expect you to give us the armor, so…"
Luke closed the box and said, "I'll have the blueprint and equipment for the base ready in a week. If you have time, look for a suitable location. Hm, it's fine that both of you know the place; you don't need to tell me where it is."
Damon nodded silently.
They were all people who worked in the dark. It was best to keep some things still secret.
However, he still felt a little lost.
He had always wanted to pull V into his team.
Given V's ability to defeat Bullseye and cause the man to flee, as long as he was willing to help, Damon was confident that he could destroy Frank D'Amico's nest and kill that nemesis of his.
But V's attitude was very clear.
They had talked for a long time in Damon's house, and even when the father and daughter took off their masks and equipment, V still had no intention of taking off his mask.
It'll be very difficult to get this person to help out, huh? Damon murmured to himself as he watched the car disappear into the night.
Suddenly, he heard someone sigh.
Damon looked at Mindy, who was also standing by the window. "What's wrong?"
"Dad, are we going to be poor for the rest of our lives?" Mindy's face was full of sorrow. "V's equipment is indeed very good, and he even gave us a huge discount, but we're going to be broke at this rate."
Damon scratched his head at the practical question.
At the beginning, the two sets of armor had sold for 500,000 bucks, but now, the price of two sets was at least a million. V's production skills were improving rapidly, and the price was skyrocketing.
Not buy? That was impossible.
However much money they saved was useless if they lost their lives.
The father and daughter didn't care much about money; they were too focused on killing their nemesis to indulge in a lavish lifestyle.
But a lot of the small gangs in New York had gotten smarter recently.
They had been concealing their tracks in recent months, and the money would be handed over beforehand.
Damon and Mindy weren't crazy enough to openly fight with a large number of gangsters, so they had to give up on the vaults which were heavily guarded.
Suddenly, Damon's expression changed. "Do you remember the group we targeted last time?"
Mindy tilted her head. "Which group?"
"Didn't a bunch of people become arrogant again in Hell's Kitchen recently? I heard that their prices increased by 30%," said Damon.
Confused for a moment, Mindy's eyes suddenly glittered. "You mean…"
"Now that we have new armor, let's familiarize ourselves with them tomorrow and get rid of that gang while we're at it." Damon fiddled with the new armor.
And in passing, clean up the cash in their inventory! he added inwardly.
Mindy cheered. "Oh, yeah! We can finally kill those b*stards!"
Damon said helplessly, "Did you forget again? Don't swear."
Mindy stuck out her tongue and made a face. "Sorry, Dad. I'm going to the training room to test out this new armor." She then ran off.
Damon, who was left behind, shook his head helplessly. In the end, she was still a child! She was only thinking about the new gift, and forgot that the new armor had increased their household debt once again!
But thinking about V's usual habits, Damon did his best to convince himself and put this problem aside.
Although V was very clear about the debts, he had never been enthusiastic about collecting them.
Damon knew why. So, when V asked for information on the gangsters in New York, he simply gave him all the confidential information he had.
Only by returning the favor could they maintain a good relationship.
Thinking that, he picked up his armor and went to the training room.
He was as curious about the new armor as his daughter, except that he was better at controlling himself.
After Luke drove for a while, he put the box of cash into his inventory.
He had to take the money.
It didn't really matter to him, but if he didn't take it, the other party would start to harbor excessive expectations, and it would hurt when he made any outrageous requests in the future.
Habits were terrifying.
It could subconsciously change a person's understanding.
Luke didn't want the father and daughter to misunderstand him. For the time being, at least, he couldn't help them unconditionally.
Their current relationship now was fine.


Luke has transmigrated to the United States, but eventually realizes that this United States is different from the United States of his previous life. Here, the superpowers and characters from the movies in his previous life actually exist. How will Luke fare in a world where such terrifying superpowers exist?

English is not my native language. There may be errors. As I write fanfiction, I hope to improve the quality of the letter


The works used in this fanfiction do not belong to me, I belong only to my OS, all of them belong to their authors, and I do not claim anything, this is my first fanfic on this accept any criticism but I ask you without regulatory vocabulary.

Master Zhang pointed at the big box behind him and the opening at the top of the box was big enough for one hand to be put in.
"In a moment, everyone will be drawing a piece of paper and on that paper will be your topic. There will be a randomised name of a second level medicinal pill. After drawing the topic, you will receive three sets of corresponding medicinal herbs. Your task is to use these three sets of medicinal herbs to refine one tray of medicinal pills and the pills which you refined will be judged based on the quality and quantity, thereby obtaining different points."
"Next, everyone please get up to draw lots!"
Once Master Zhang finished talking, he expressed the intention for everyone to move upwards.
As the second round of drawing order was ascertained based on the first round's ranking, hence Huang Yueli stood at the front of the queue and became the first to draw lots.
She stood still in front of the box but she didn't put her hand in immediately to draw. Rather, she turned her head towards Master Zhang and enquired, "Master Zhang, earlier regarding the regulations that you mentioned, I don't quite understand some points so I'd like for you to give me some pointers."
Master Zhang courteously replied, "Young Miss Bai please go ahead."
Huang Yueli then posed her questions, "There are three sets of medicinal herbs which we will receive and if the first set of medicinal herbs have successfully been refined into medicinal pills, then should we immediately request for the awarding of points or should we continue to use the next set of medicinal herbs into pills?"
Master Zhang was stunned momentarily, "Your meaning is..."
Huang Yueli noticed that he was bewildered and thought that she hadn't put it clearly hence she hurriedly tried to explain further, "What I meant was, other than the quality of the medicinal pill, does the total quantity of the pills gain higher points or is the completion of refining time earn more points? If it's based on speed, then I won't need to continue refining the second tray of medicinal pills."
This question had a rather huge impact on the awarding of points and Huang Yueli was worried that if she had already refined the third tray of medicinal pills and turned out that her points would not be any higher, hence that was why she had to ask clearly.
When Master Zhang heard this question, the expression on his face was even more stunned.
Because when Huang Yueli asked the question earlier, it wasn't that he had not understood it but rather he had not expected that anyone would actually ask such a question!
It took some time before he regained his senses as he said, "Ughh… this question… this question is well asked! I hadn't thought about this carefully. En, the duration of the competition is fixed and four hours is the limit hence if within this duration of time, you're able to refine one tray and above of medicinal pills, then the amount of points will be doubled!
Hearing that, Huang Yueli's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great! I'm grateful to you for answering my question."
Master Zhang wiped the sweat off his forehead, "No need to thank..."
Although he didn't say this, but he was feeling extremely startled. Could it be that she really thought that second level medicinal pills were that easy to refine?
Master Zhang didn't have the cheek to say it out directly but Feng Xiaoyan who was standing behind Huang Yueli heard what the both of them were talking about as she couldn't help but laughed out.
"I say, Bai Ruoli, why are you asking this for? Do you know or not, that a second rank Pill Master would normally be able to refine just one tray or medicinal pills out of ten trays? Now, you're just given a total of three sets only and if you're able to refine an entire tray of it, you should burn your incense to thank god! Still thinking of refining several trays? What kind of joke is that?"
Huang Yueli blinked, "What? So that's the case..."
She was really slightly surprised, because when she refined second level medicinal pills, other than the time when Little Phoenix came out to create havoc, otherwise she wouldn't have failed at all.
She had assumed that even if ordinary Pill Masters hadn't such a high success rate as hers, they should at least have a success rate of around fifty to sixty percent!
Whoever knew that second level medicinal pills were actually that hard to refine?


When trash become a genius—one word: Fierce! Two words: Two-faced! Three words: Too heaven defying!

She is the foremost and outstanding armament refining master. Passing through a dynasty, and became a publicly humiliated and bullied Third Young Miss. Ancient beasts, too outrageous? Obediently become a docile pet, or I’ll make you into soup!

Ninth rank talent, rare talent in a thousand years? She born with a godly constitution, crushing all geniuses!

Peak level Profound Grade Armament, beyond priceless? Sorry to say, but the bowl she uses to feed the cat is already at the God Grade…..she possessed a pair of eyes that could see through everything, yet there was only one thing she couldn’t see through — him!

Merely exposing his demonic smile, a certain Lord lightly loosened his belt: “Can’t see through? Do not fret, you can slowly view when you return to the room. I’ll allow you to scrupulously inspect from head to toe.”
