The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 461 Extra Chapter: Thrilling, Enter at Your Own Risk!
[Prologue: Earth, Laughing Towards the Sky]

In the year 6060, at midnight one day.

The third young master of the Xiang family, Xiang Tianxiao, was reclining on a large leather sofa, listlessly reading a sensational gossip novel with exciting plot twists that were sure to make people applaud, but which still couldn't really arouse his interest.

Just when the thunder was getting utterly boring, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door!

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door? What's going on in the middle of the night?" Xiang Tianxiao said with displeasure, reluctantly putting away the Heart-to-Heart Seal and impatiently going to open the door. As he walked, he wondered to himself.

It's so late, and there's still thunder and heavy rain outside. Who could it be?

There won’t be any ghosts, right?
A thought suddenly popped into his head... but he immediately dismissed it!

Nowadays, materialism prevails in the world, so what ghosts are there?

Moreover, if one could truly encounter a ghost from a Chinese ghost story, one would have no regrets in this life.

After taking only a few steps, for some reason, Xiang Tianxiao kept recalling the words he had said during a television interview.

In particular, the four characters "No regrets in this life" kept echoing in his mind!

The door is a high-tech security door, behind which rings of sophisticated instruments are mostly obscured by a magnificent and solemn painting of mythological figures.

There was still half a meter between us and the door...

In a daze, Xiang Tianxiao seemed to see two lines of bloody tears flowing from the eyes of the mythical figure in the painting hanging behind the door!
"Hiss!" Xiang Tianxiao was startled. He stopped in his tracks, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down without even opening the door.

When I opened my eyes again, the painting had returned to normal.

He glanced around briefly; the lights inside were still on, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

However, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the large apartment, one sees flashes of lightning and the rain continuing to fall in a steady drizzle.

The thunder never stopped!
All the lights on the opposite building were off. Apart from the occasional flashes of lightning, it was pitch black outside, so dark it was terrifying and chilling!

He... suddenly didn't want to open the door anymore. Just as he was about to use the X-ray vision to see who was outside before deciding whether to open the door or not.

"Squeak, squeak squeak...~"

Suddenly, a piercing, drawn-out sound rang out! It made Xiang Tianxiao's ears go numb.

And those security locks, which were said to be impenetrable even by the strongest caliber bullets, opened mysteriously, revealing a deep, dark crack.

"Hiss! That's not right. I remember locking the door when I came back. How could the wind have blown it open? Could it be that I've been too tired lately and forgot to lock it?"

Just as Xiang Tianxiao mustered his courage and suspiciously prepared to step forward and slam the door shut.

"Crack!" It sounded like the sound of hell.

A pale, twisted hand with five long, thin, sharp fingernails suddenly reached in through the crack in the door, but remained unmoved even when pinched.

It was icy cold, like frost! It grabbed Xiang Tianxiao's right wrist in one swift motion!

Even someone as carefree and easygoing as Xiang Tianxiao felt his scalp tingle from the sudden appearance of that hand!
Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably!

Perhaps he was too nervous, because he couldn't bring himself to shout out immediately!
"Squeak, squeak..."

A subtle pushing force came from the door, while the hand seemed to be trying to pull him out!

Thus, this brief stalemate instantly snapped Xiang Tianxiao out of his momentary daze!

He quickly tried to pull his hand away and struggle while pushing the security door shut, attempting to lock it.

However, the hand outside the door seemed to realize the problem at the same time, and instead, it began to forcefully try to push the door open completely, little by little...

At the same time, gusts of icy, frost-covered mist, seemingly originating from the snowy plateau, poured in through the open door cracks.

"Ahhh..." Finally, Xiang Tianxiao couldn't help but scream out loud, risking dislocation, as he desperately broke free from the restraints of that ghostly hand.

But he tried his best to hold down the door, but it was too late!
With a loud "bang!", the security door was blown to pieces! The lights inside the house were also shattered.

The room was instantly enveloped in a bizarre black-and-white scene, a mixture of darkness and frost!
"Tear! Bang! Bang!"

Xiang Tianxiao was thrown back several meters by this strange force and fell onto the floor heating airflow, which calmed his panic a little.

But not only his body, but also his fair face was slashed by countless metal fragments from the explosion of the security door, leaving bloody wounds!
"Whoosh!" In an instant, a chilling aura, accompanied by a strong wind, swept in... freezing the remaining warm air gushing from the underfloor heating.

Immediately, a white figure with disheveled hair and emanating a chilling aura was seen floating upside down outside the door frame, or rather, above the outer door frame.

His disheveled black hair fluttered wildly in the strong wind, his cold pupils moved beneath the ends of his hair, and his face was half-hidden, deathly pale without a trace of blood!
"You, you...who are you? Are you human or ghost? Why are you bothering me?"

Xiang Tianxiao exclaimed in utter shock, his voice becoming hoarse involuntarily!
Although he suspected that the other party might have suspended wires outside the door frame to play tricks, he dared not run out of the door frame to investigate the truth because of the white figure blocking his way.

Furthermore, he was unaware whether, in the technologically advanced and rapidly changing year of 6060, a quantum weapon capable of blasting a security door into metal fragments without harming the person behind it had already been developed!

"Have you... forgotten?"

"You once made... an oath!"

"So I've come tonight! I've come to take you away... This world... doesn't belong to you!"

A clear yet slightly weak voice came from above the floating white phantom.

From the voice coming from the other party, Xiang Tianxiao could vaguely tell that it was a woman!
"Take...take me away...Are you the White Impermanence? No, I don't want to go with you, I don't want to leave yet! I haven't lived enough!"

Take you away...

Anyone who hears this will feel a chill down their spine!

Xiang Tianxiao was no exception!
"Ah..." Suddenly, the female ghost let out a shrill roar! Her abnormally fluctuating emotions caused her to utter something that chilled Xiang Tianxiao to the bone even more...

"We, the two sisters, finally made it here with great difficulty, almost losing our souls! Damn gatekeeper... why are you even here in this dimension!"

The white-clad female ghost roared and waved her hand, her ten long fingernails, radiating a chilling, eerie light, tearing the already shattered statue of the God of Fire, Zhu Rong, to shreds.

Xiang Tianxiao vaguely remembered that this statue of the Fire God seemed to have been left behind by one of his ancestors, a feng shui master!
"W-what...you have sisters! And...they're here too?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Tianxiao's gaze was filled with both shock and fear.

Outside the door frame, behind the white-clad female ghost, another illusory figure indeed appeared!

And their entrance was also marked by them floating upside down!

"Ah, I can't take it anymore..."

Just as Xiang Tianxiao was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide to end this huge joke that God had played on him!

The second figure landed in a series of turns, and suddenly solidified, revealing herself to be a pretty young girl with her hair styled in a flowing cloud bun and dressed in ancient costume.

Immediately afterwards, the white phantom landed on the ground. The strong wind seemed to stop, and her hair cascaded down, revealing her stunningly beautiful face!

"The real A Chinese Ghost Story!?"

Seeing this, Xiang Tianxiao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He strained his bloodshot eyelids and yelled wildly, almost biting his tongue.

"Wow... Two such stunning beauties, so elegant and serene, so delicate and beautiful! How could they possibly be ghosts? You must be fairies descended from heaven, that must be it!"

Xiang Tianxiao is the most dashing and debonair third young master of the Xiang family. He has long since mastered the art of smooth talk and boasts of his excellent taste. He showers two beautiful female ghosts with compliments.

It is evident that their will to survive is extremely strong!

"Sweet talk, silver tongue!" Upon hearing this, the white-clad female ghost snorted coldly, while the ancient-style female ghost lowered her head shyly.

Xiang Tianxiao had observed all of this and understood their thoughts and personalities perfectly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to dominate the workplace for over a decade!

"You bastard, what are you looking at? Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

The woman in white became extremely angry when she saw Xiang Tianxiao staring intently at her and her sister.

"We sisters are transformed from vengeful ghosts, aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"

"Fear? Why should I be afraid!"

Xiang Tianxiao suddenly lost his previous timidity, laughed loudly twice, as if he had become a different person.

"You wouldn't kill me, would you? You probably need something from me, otherwise why would you go to such lengths, using wires and cosplay to scare me... I've had plenty of suitors like you before, trying to use this underhanded method to get my attention! Tsk tsk, although I don't know what hallucinogenic substance you gave me or what kind of trick you used, I have to admit that your acting is the most realistic of all the women!"

Xiang Tianxiao launched into a long, monologue, leaving the two female ghosts completely bewildered, unable to even interject.

"Alright, you've achieved your goal. You've successfully piqued my interest. Now, let's see how I expose you!"

As he spoke, Xiang Tianxiao recklessly took a few steps forward and tentatively reached out his right hand to pull.

Immediately, the white-clad female ghost, looking bewildered, readily cooperated and was pulled into his arms.

Sure enough, she wasn't a ghost!
This body temperature, though a bit cold, has a real, tangible feel to it!

Thinking this, Xiang Tianxiao quickly reached out his left hand to grab the woman in ancient costume, wanting to confirm it again.

Once you realize you've been pranked, you'll have to call the police immediately and send them to jail!
"Slap!" Unexpectedly, the woman in white suddenly dodged and broke free, slapping Tianxiao away with her palm, interrupting his hand that was about to touch the woman in ancient costume.

"Shameless scoundrel..." the woman in white cursed angrily, but unexpectedly, she went over there on her own.

"Sister, let's take him away quickly... I'm so scared to stay in this world!"

It was the woman in ancient costume who spoke softly to the woman in white, her voice as sweet as honey.

"Xiao Jue, don't be afraid! I'm here. I'll take this bastard home with me right away!"

The woman in white comforted the woman in ancient costume with affection, but when she mentioned Xiang Tianxiao, she called him a bastard, which was really unreasonable.

"Kidnapping? You...you, where are you taking me? No! I won't go!" Xiang Tianxiao suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly backed away.

"Hmph! That's not up to you!"

"Amidst wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, using the resentment of my sister and me as a pretext, lead the chosen ones to resurrect our souls and lend us a hand! Kyushu Time and Space... Manifest!"

Boom! Outside, the wind and rain raged, thunder roared, and strange purple currents crisscrossed the lightning layer.

Suddenly, as the woman stopped chanting her last incantation, the entire night sky began to slowly rotate.

Dark clouds, mixed with lightning and raindrops, swirled at high speed, resembling the gaping maw of a terrifying, unfathomable beast...

"My God, this is too eerie! A witch? Are you human or a ghost? Don't come any closer... Ah!"

The wind lashed against Xiang Tianxiao's body, and he suddenly realized that he had truly encountered an evil entity!
Not cosplay!

However, seeing the two terrifying women approaching, Xiang Tianxiao, who had already retreated to the edge of the balcony, accidentally slipped and fell!
"Sister, save him quickly!" The woman in ancient costume panicked when she saw Xiang Tianxiao suddenly fall down.

"Huh, it seems even the heavens are on my side. It's good that I fell down; it saves me the trouble of personally killing the culprit."

The woman in white was overjoyed, and then patiently explained to the somewhat displeased woman in ancient costume: "Silly girl, if we take his body with us, it will be a lot of trouble for us, and he himself cannot withstand that powerful energy! It would be better to just take his soul with us!"

The voice just fell.

"Bang!" After traveling a distance of more than twenty stories, the object finally hit the ground with a loud thud.

Immediately, a strong stench of blood filled the air as the rain pounded against the ground...

A sudden clap of thunder in the night sky!
A powerful tearing force swept up the three beams of light, sending them soaring into the sky and distorting space.

A wave of energy rippled through the night, and the three beams of light vanished without a trace. Strangely, all natural phenomena in the night sky ceased to exist; lightning and raindrops disappeared!

Only that cold, lifeless body lying in the rain can prove that everything truly happened...

===========
The first time the system smashed a package
===========
The land of Kyushu was clear and cloudless.

Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, and a fierce storm raged!

Strange celestial phenomena appeared, causing widespread panic throughout the land.

At this moment, from the most solemn and magnificent buildings in the nine continents, a powerful divine sense was sent into the sky. Buzz... the strange phenomenon disappeared mysteriously, and the nine divine senses missed their target!

The first prefecture of Kyushu, Nanmu Prefecture, in the heart of the Pamir Forest...

"Help! Shouldn't my house be on the 24th floor? Why hasn't it hit the ground after three days of falling?!"

A terrified scream rang out from the sky.

Boom! A huge impact sound rang out.

The ground trembled violently, plumes of smoke and dust rose, and birds in the forest fled in panic from the scene.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a huge, human-shaped crater came into view.

"Cough cough... Ouch, that hurts! Huh? Where am I? I didn't die from the fall?"

From the giant pit, a strangely dressed boy crept out. Realizing that he had survived falling from the sky, he couldn't help but look up and laugh wildly!

The young man was clearly the third young master of the Xiang family: Xiang Tianxiao!
"What the hell is that?! Ouch, get out of my way! Why is it hitting me?! Ahhh!"

Just as Xiang Tianxiao was looking up, feeling smug about his good fortune, he suddenly saw a dark object, like a small meteorite, flying straight towards his head from high above, carrying streaks of sparks!

A deafening boom echoed, followed by a bloodcurdling scream, "Ah! Ah..."

"Ouch, that hurts! What the hell is this?"

Xiang Tianxiao angrily got up from the ground, clutching his head, which had been smashed and was now bigger than a pig's head! He cursed and pointed at the black object emitting wisps of smoke, yelling at it.

Click!Click!
A mechanical hum filled the air, and the dark object before them came to life! It lunged directly at Xiang Tianxiao, who was taunting them.

"Ah!! Again!"

A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, was heard again. The unidentified object split open and flew over, biting down on Xiang Tianxiao's entire head!
Boom! Like a river bursting its banks, a massive amount of data flooded into Xiang Tianxiao's brain.

He immediately lost consciousness as a result.

Ding-dong, ding-dong~
The mechanical beeping continued incessantly...

I do not know how long it has been.

Xiang Tianxiao came to his senses. "Huh, where did that terrifying ghost go? It's gone!" He repeatedly touched his head in confusion to confirm.

"Buzz! Respected Nth Master, welcome to the Nine Provinces World, experience a magical journey... First gift: a top-tier, high-value body, a no-certification level title, more items can be redeemed by accumulating enough Fiend Qi Points in the system..."

Suddenly, a mechanical system voice rang in Xiang Tianxiao's mind, startling him.

Sure enough, Xiang Tianxiao was surprised to find that he had changed into a different body and had an earth-colored medal on his chest.

What the heck is going on?
"I've been reborn and transmigrated in a ridiculously cheesy way, and I've even been hit by an overpowered upgrade and exchange system?!" Xiang Tianxiao exclaimed in disbelief.

After reading so many amazing time-travel dramas written by top authors over the years... today it's my turn! This happiness has come so suddenly!

He immediately closed his eyes and focused his consciousness back into his brain, communicating with the system interface!

Ding-dong, ding-dong~
One message after another came in!

1. Personal Information: Name: Xiang Tianxiao!
2. Current level: Terrible! [Vortex Level 1]

3. Current Equipment: The system has gifted you a small knife, a pair of cloth boots, and a set of commoner clothing.

4. Current title: Lower Class Commoner! [Note: System-given title, no verification required!]

5. Current Honors: None. [Note: The system's random data entry can be considered an honor, and the host can apply for certification for this honor themselves.]

6. Current Main Quest: Join the Slave Tribe [To be accepted!]

7. Current instance: Not yet open!
8. Current system recommended task: Advance to intermediate slave level and complete title certification.

(Reward: 500 points of malevolent energy)
9. Current Qi Aura Balance: 1000 points! [Note: This is a system-gifted bonus as a sign of care and encouragement.]

Having learned his personal information, Xiang Tianxiao couldn't wait to open the other system tabs: Character, Accept Quests, Level Up, Extra Rewards, Exchange Cultivation Techniques, Harem Gossip, Invincible Divine Gear, Random Wish, and Nine Provinces Misty Record.

Of the nine tabs:

Apart from the first five shining brightly, the buttons for Harem Gossip, Invincible Divine Gear, Random Wish, and Novoland: Eagle Flag are all dim!
Ding-dong! The system notification sounded again: Due to insufficient character level and Qi Points, it is not yet unlocked! Please work hard to increase your character level!

Given Xiang Tianxiao's appreciation for beauty, he was probably frantically clicking on the harem gossip button just now...

When he received this feedback from the system, he was immediately disappointed.

Ding-dong! As if the system had read his mind, a mechanical voice sounded again:
"The Nine Provinces Continent is divided into nine major provinces. As long as the host can conquer one of them, he/she will receive corresponding rewards, including various gossip about the boudoirs of fairies... They await the master to uncover their secrets!"

"Tsk tsk, there's even such a juicy juicy treat to be had? Good, good, good, level up! I'm going to level up now to become the King of Gossip!"

Xiang Tianxiao was overjoyed, feeling his bloodline as a melon king boiling within him, and determined to find every possible way to upgrade.

Upon clicking the system upgrade button, Xiang Tianxiao immediately realized that this system was a real pain!

"Vortex Level 1" is just a minor level; the real level is the title "Inferior Commoner"!

If I want to advance to the level of a mid-level slave, I must cultivate to the third level of the Vortex!

Now, if he wants to upgrade, he has two options: one is to cultivate diligently on his own, and the other is to consume evil energy points.

"Huh? I have absolutely no idea about the cultivation system and power structure of this world! Why doesn't this damn system introduce it to me?"

Xiang Tianxiao's face darkened. He suddenly realized that there was a problem he needed to figure out first.

hum!
As if understanding Xiang Tianxiao's complaints, a 3D model of a plate appeared out of thin air in front of him, which was a map of the Nine Provinces Continent!

"Wow, 3D? That's amazing... but it's so complicated, it's making me dizzy!"

Looking at the intricately marked map of the Nine Provinces' powers, Xiang Tianxiao couldn't help but complain again: "Can't you make it simpler!"

Ding Dong!

The hierarchical differentiation system is as follows:

(From high to low)
The number of Qi Points that can be redeemed for each level title certification (Note: Qi Points are equivalent to combat points).
God Emperor Overlord: 999 million points
King and Emperor: 666 million points
Starry Emperor: 248.4 million points
Diamond Emperor: 51.2 points
Platinum Emperor: 25.6 points
Golden Emperor: 12.8 points
Silver Overlord: 6.4 points
Bronze Overlord: 3.2 points
……

Mercenary ranking system:
S-Class War God: 16000 points

Rank A Warrior: 8000 points

Tier B Backbone: 4000 points

C-Rank Elite: 2000 points

D-level veteran: 1000 points

E-rank regular soldier: 500 points

……

Classification of ordinary people: (Scumbags)

Upper-class commoners: 200 points

Medium-level slave: 100 points

Lower class of people: 001 points

Note: Reaching Vortex Level 3 will raise your title level by one major level. For example, a commoner with Vortex Level 3 can try to break through to the mercenary category.
As for the S-rank War God of the Vortex Level 3, one can try to break through to the ranks of the Overlord, break away from the mercenary group, and become a regional overlord.

Mercenaries: subordinate to the overlord; commoners are vassals of mercenaries.

System Reminder: The Nine Provinces Continent has a strictly hierarchical mercenary system. You currently belong to an ordinary mercenary. Do you want to survive? Do you want to gain a voice? Do you want to be the subject of all the gossip? The only way is through brute force: level up! Level up! And level up again!
Bang! "Exciting! I love this violent aesthetic world full of women's gossip and sweet talk!"

Looking at the long ranking list, Xiang Tianxiao laughed wildly, grabbed a knife, and planted it directly into a large tree opposite him.

He then reached back and touched the string of bright turkey feathers on his head, striking an extremely arrogant pose!

===========
Second time, the awesome boss!
===========
"Boss, I just saw a strange object here, and at the same time I heard a strange laugh! It's terrifying."

"Oh? Is that so? Come with me and see for yourselves. Hmph, Hou San'er, if I find out you dared to lie to me... I'll kill you."

Through the dense grass, a group of people suddenly came into Xiang Tianxiao's view.

The leader was a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks.

At this moment, a deep fear still lingered in his eyes, and a group of well-trained men followed behind him.

Apart from the one known as the leader, everyone else wore an earth-colored medal on their clothing, exactly the same as the one on Xiang Tianxiao's chest!
"Boss, how could I dare!" Hou San'er replied cautiously.

"Hey, there's a figure over there!"

Suddenly, a shifty-eyed man in the crowd cried out in surprise.

His gaze was undeniably sharp!

They bypassed all the obstacles and found Xiang Tianxiao.

Xiang Tianxiao couldn't help but think to himself: This damned heaven is indeed fair; it takes great care of this ugly, squinty-eyed man!
"Thump! Thump thump!"

A group of people rushed towards the direction the finger was pointing, and after walking a dozen steps, they spotted Xiang Tianxiao.

"Hmm? Earth-colored medal... a lowly commoner!"

"Boy, who are you? Speak, why have I never seen you before?"

The middle-aged man, who was called the leader, noticed that the medal on Xiang Tianxiao's chest was of a lower rank than his own, and arrogantly shouted angrily at Xiang Tianxiao.

"Hehe! Chief, I'm new here! I just came from the tribe to cut down Nima wood, but I got lost here. Please allow me to come along!"

Xiang Tianxiao cursed inwardly, "You outnumber me today, but I can't beat you in a group fight. You're ruthless!"
Luckily, I have a system that's giving me a cheat code. I have all the information and data on you idiots at my fingertips. Otherwise, I would have acted rashly.

The middle-aged man in front of them was a mid-level slave, commanding about a hundred people, all of whom were of the lowest social class!
The brown medal on the middle-aged man's chest was proof of his status as a middle-class slave!

"Hmph, I'm a very busy man, with many things to do! How could I have time to take care of a nobody like you?"

The middle-aged man sneered at Xiang Tianxiao arrogantly, then suddenly turned and began to reprimand Hou San'er.

"Hou San'er, are all newcomers these days so ignorant of etiquette? What kind of receptionist are you?"

"Ah! Leader, you..."

When the middle-aged man asked this question, Hou San'er was completely confused, his face full of doubt.

Just as he was about to ask the man, "Rules, what rules...when did we set rules for newlyweds?"

A fawning, obsequious laugh interrupted him. Just because he didn't understand didn't mean others didn't!

"Leader, I am a foolish and newcomer, and I have been quite rude! Please do not take offense. This is just a small gift and not much to show my respect! I hope that in the future, you will take good care of me and promote me!"

Xiang Tianxiao ran up to the middle-aged man, put on a fawning expression, and handed over the exquisite little knife that the system had given him!

In this world, if you want to climb up the social ladder, you have to spend a lot of money, and Xiang Tianxiao is clearly aware of that!

The moment Xiang Tianxiao saw the middle-aged man's expression, he understood immediately. It turned out that this bastard just wanted to get some benefits!
In his previous life, he was a super playboy and did this kind of thing quite often. The number of classmates (mostly foreigners) he extorted and exploited could stretch from China to the United States, so his awareness was naturally extremely high!
"Hmm, you're quite sensible, kid. You know how to handle people. I'll reluctantly accept this gift, Hou San'er..."

Seeing that Xiang Tianxiao was so responsive, the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.

She didn't even glance at the exquisite little knife he offered, and let Hou San'er accept it on her behalf.

"Ah! This is... a fine iron dagger! Leader! This is a piece of top-quality fine iron!"

"What! A fine iron dagger!"

"And it's top quality?"

At Hou San'er's startled cry, the crowd erupted into a flurry of discussion.

"What did you say? Say it again! Tell me now, are you lying to me or not!"

The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed, grabbed Hou San'er by the collar, his fingers trembling slightly!

"Cough cough... The leader is really made of fine iron. Please let go, I can't breathe."

Hou San'er's face was flushed, and he struggled to raise the fine iron dagger in his hand, clearly suffering from holding his breath for too long.

"Uh..." The middle-aged man realized his lapse in composure, released his grip on Hou San'er's hand, and awkwardly accepted the fine iron dagger.

Immediately, he slashed at the steel knife he carried with him: Tear! A cut appeared in the metal!
"Hiss! As expected of being made of refined iron, it's exceptionally sharp!"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, and even the way he looked at Xiang Tianxiao unconsciously underwent a subtle change!

"Haha, I am Shuang Baotian, the leader of a hundred-man team, and I am subordinate to the mercenary Gui Hui. I do not yet know your name, young brother, may I ask?"

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Shuang Baotian openly put the fine iron dagger into his pocket while laughing heartily and asking Xiang Tianxiao a question.

"Awesome~ Explosive...?" Xiang Tianxiao's lips twitched, and he clicked his tongue in admiration: Your parents are really amazing, their naming skills are unmatched!
But though he thought about it, he dared not be foolish enough to say it aloud! Besides, having watched so many period dramas in his previous life, he had learned quite a few polite phrases, so he quickly replied to the middle-aged man in a proper manner:
"Oh my! So it's Leader Baotian! My apologies, my apologies, I am Xiang Tianxiao!"

"Xiang... Tianxiao?" Shuangbaotian was speechless, and was greatly shocked: Damn, how come his name feels even cooler than mine!
However, he maintained a perfect facade, showing no sign of aggression whatsoever.

However, just because a middle-aged man can endure it doesn't mean that others have the same endurance!

"Pfft... Xiang Tianxiao?"

"Why not call it 'crying on the ground'?"

"Yeah, what a bizarre name!"

"Tsk tsk, the younger generation is truly formidable! Judging from their naming skills alone, the world of Kyushu is about to change!"

The group of people behind Shuangbaotian, rubbing their trembling bellies, laughed so hard they were bent over!
"Ahem, that's enough!"

"Shuangbaotian shouted."

Everyone immediately shut their mouths, but the smile in their eyes just wouldn't go away, especially when their gaze fell on Xiang Tianxiao.

Seeing that he was about to burst out, everyone quickly turned their heads away, trying their best not to look at him.

"Sigh..." The middle-aged man sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Wasn't I the same back then?"

Before he was promoted to leader, his nickname "Shuangbaotian" was also ridiculed by others.

Thinking of this...

A feeling of shared misfortune welled up within him, and he suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Xiang Tianxiao!

Xiang Tianxiao, however, remained unmoved and let the ridicule from the crowd go unchallenged.

For this reason, Shuangbaotian even secretly praised the boy for his amazing patience and excellent manners, which is truly commendable!

Little did he know that Xiang Tianxiao, while outwardly appearing calm, was inwardly a chaotic free-for-all...

Um... you asked what kind of horses? Of course, it's the kind where ten thousand gallop across the grasslands...

Xiang Tianxiao cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Once I've established myself, I'd better not be left alone!"

"So it's Brother Tianxiao. Please forgive me for my inappropriate words just now! Don't worry, brother, feel free to come to me if you need anything in the future!"

"Look at them, brother, who dares to bully you?"

As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man turned and swept his cold gaze across the crowd behind him.

Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they all shivered.

Shuang Baotian had a very good first impression of Xiang Tianxiao and immediately became sworn brothers with him.

Firstly, Xiang Tianxiao immediately brandished a fine iron dagger, clearly leaving him with the image of a "rich young master," suggesting he may have an unknown background.

For example: the son of the chief of a large tribe who was framed by a villain and forced to live in exile.

Secondly, the two had very similar experiences. Seeing his predicament when he was ridiculed by everyone, Shuang Baotian felt as if he was seeing himself being ridiculed back then!

"Alright! Since the leader is so kind, then I shall accept! Exploding Heaven... Brother!"

Xiang Tianxiao looked at him with deep affection, calling him "Big Brother" in a greasy way that he sounded more affectionate than if he had seen his own parents!
Based on this shameful behavior, everyone curled their lips, their eyes full of disdain, but even more so, they were filled with jealousy!
"Hey, Brother Tianxiao!"

Shuang Baotian's friendly tone was in no way inferior to Xiang Tianxiao's, "Come forward quickly and come to your brother's side. Your brother will take you back to the tribe's stronghold."

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were long-lost brothers reuniting!
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianxiao stepped forward and walked side by side with Shuang Baotian toward the tribe.

He left the stunned crowd behind in vain!

I could see two figures chatting and laughing, walking side by side at the front like brothers.

The others who had been left behind quickly caught up, their hearts filled with bitterness: their leader seemed to have become a different person!

==========
Third Slave Tribe

==========
A secluded valley, lush with vegetation, where wisps of smoke rise from chimneys.

As soon as you look out, rows of wooden pavilions are hidden in the lush greenery.

That was: a slave tribe...

"Welcome back, Leader Explosive Sky and all brothers, in triumph!"

Nearly ninety people were waiting at the gate of the slave tribe.

Xiang Tianxiao's gaze swept across the crowd, and he couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed!

Of the ninety people, less than one-tenth were male friends; the rest were all rough men.

That's not the main point. The main point is that most of the women were middle-aged women with long faces or dark pockmarks, which was truly an eyesore!
However, the only young woman who could be considered somewhat presentable was heavily pregnant... clearly someone had already beaten her to it and started a family.

"There isn't a single young lady here. Am I, the melon king, supposed to have a long talk with an old lady by candlelight?" Xiang Tianxiao was indignant, but he remained outwardly calm.

"Hahaha, no need for formalities! I'm so happy today. Come, come, let me introduce a new brother to everyone!"

Shuangbaotian, with his straightforward and unpretentious personality, shoved Xiang Tianxiao, who was standing next to him, away.

"This is Brother Xiang Tianxiao! He's not only kind and generous, but also honest and kind. No one is allowed to bully him from now on!"

"Uh, Xiang Tianxiao?"

Upon hearing the name, everyone paused in surprise and gave Shuangbaotian a strange look.

He sighed inwardly:
"Birds of a feather flock together! The eccentric leader has finally found his eccentric brothers!" As everyone was thinking this, a sudden voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Hi everyone! I am Xiang Tianxiao! I hope you will all take good care of me in the future!"

Xiang Tian smiled broadly, behaving smoothly, and exuding a flamboyant and open aura that nearly caused everyone, especially the women, to stumble.

"Of course, of course!"

The crowd awkwardly offered a few perfunctory replies, their expressions unnatural, secretly cursing Xiang Tianxiao for being pretentious!
Several people even looked at him with disgust, their eyes filled with revulsion: "You want 'special treatment,' huh? I'll make sure you get what you want in a minute!"

The group exchanged glances privately, pondering how to give Xiang Tianxiao a hard time!
"Alright, everyone, you can all go home now! We still have to work tomorrow, so I'll personally handle the reception arrangements for the newcomers today."

"Thank you, leader!"

More than ninety voices thanked them in unison.

Afterwards, Shuangbaotian dismissed everyone and led Xiang Tianxiao into the tribe.

As he gazed at the rows of wooden pavilions passing by, Xiang Tianxiao sensed a touch of elegance.

After a moment of stunned silence, the burly figure walking ahead suddenly stopped at a wooden pavilion.

Fortunately, Xiang Tianxiao reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes, thus avoiding a collision.

"Squeak~!"

With a soft rustling sound, the wooden door opened.

Shuangbaotian looked at Xiang Tianxiao with a smile and said, "Brother Tianxiao, this will be your place from now on. I live right across from you. Just let me know if you need anything!"

"Oh, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Baotian! Take care, Brother..."

Xiang Tianxiao nodded his thanks, indicating that he understood, and then went into the wooden house, preparing to close the door to visitors. He still had very important personal matters that urgently needed to be resolved.

"Wait a minute! Brother Tianxiao, take this. These are your tools! You're new to the ramp and must be tired. I'll grant you a day off. You don't need to work tomorrow."

After speaking, Shuangbaotian hurriedly left, as he needed to immediately report the list of new recruits to Lord Guihui!
"Huh? What the hell is this thing?"

Xiang Tianxiao clutched the object in his hand, looking utterly astonished!
This thing has two thin blades, it looks like an arrow but it's not an arrow, it looks like a spear but it's not a spear, and the edges are not very even, it is obviously just roughly polished.

If one were to truly describe it to Xiang Tianxiao, he could only utter two lines and three words: "A product of the Paleolithic era!"
He meows!
Has this guy been kidnapped and taken to a primitive tribe?

"Hehe~, are you new here?"

Suddenly, a girl's voice, as clear and melodious as a silver bell, entered Xiang Tianxiao's ears, and his eyes lit up just from hearing the voice!
I looked up at the door.

A beautiful young girl was looking at him curiously with her bright, lively eyes. Her two braids hung down to her waist, and a charming smile graced her delicate face.

"Gudong~"

Xiang Tianxiao's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard! His mental assessment of the girl's attractiveness level surged, instantly giving her a score of 88!
The gossip system delivered its timely comment: "Youthful and beautiful, intelligent and charming, with unlimited potential, truly a beauty! The only regret is that this girl's mind is not yet mature. It is not recommended that the host have a late-night chat. If you force her, it will be more trouble than it's worth. Not only will you lose 500 points of evil energy, but you will also suffer the consequences of destroying your machine and dying!"
"Get lost!" Xiang Tianxiao cursed inwardly. How could this system be so wicked and villainous? How could it compare to the systems that other people obtained after transmigrating?
Little did he know that the quality of the system was related to the host, and that was all because he had a villainous aura!
"Hmph, fine, don't talk then! Anyway, forced relationships never work!" Xiang Tianxiao said this, but in his heart he sneered: However, I can flirt with him a little and create some ambiguity, right?

This time, the system didn't issue any notification sounds, presumably acknowledging Xiang Tianxiao's little scheme.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Why are you staring at her?"

The girl gave a reproachful laugh, her delicate, flawless face flushed red, making her incredibly adorable.

"Oh yes, yes! This dashing young master is indeed a newcomer here!"

"May I ask your name, young lady, who is such a perfect match for me?"

Xiang Tianxiao snapped out of his daze, his face full of fawning, and such shameless words just slipped out.

"You... shameless! Who's a perfect match for you? If my brother hadn't specifically asked me to come and visit our new neighbor, I wouldn't have bothered with you at all!"

In an instant, the girl's face turned bright red, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Xiang Tianxiao.

This guy's a scoundrel, he's such a jerk! He's obviously no good!
"Hmph! I was going to tell you how to use the vortex chisel, but you're so smart, you should know how!"

"Hehe, my name is Cool Lemon! Goodbye, narcissist, get ready to embarrass yourself the day after tomorrow..."

The girl suppressed her indignation, proudly told him her name, pouted, and hurriedly left, clearly having a very bad first impression of Xiang Tianxiao!
"Oh, this girl is a bit unruly! She's the complete opposite of her well-behaved appearance! Wow, 'Sour Lemon'? It's sour, what a nice name!"

Although Xiang Tianxiao was left feeling humiliated, it was no big deal for him, as he had thickened his skin to be three times thicker than a city wall!
Suddenly, a wicked smile crept across his lips. He saw Shuang Ningmeng's alluring figure disappear into the attic to his left, and his mind raced with rage:
Hehe, let's keep the good stuff in the family. I'll flirt with them again next time I meet them, and I'll flirt with them every time I meet them.

Until Shuang Lemon obediently threw herself into his arms, until he became Shuang Baotian's brother-in-law...

Wa hahaha!

At that moment, Xiang Tianxiao, in a great mood, rushed into the attic, slammed the door shut, and began to carefully examine the so-called vortex chisel.

"Could this be just a piece of junk chisel?"

After looking for a long time without any clue, Xiang Tianxiao suddenly flung his hand away, looking utterly frustrated.

Does this mean that the day after tomorrow, I'm really going to embarrass myself in front of Xiao Suan Suan?

"Huh? How did I get so confused!"

Suddenly, he let out a soft "hmm," followed by a slight smirk. Then, streams of data began to emanate from the chisel in the corner of the wooden door...

=============
Fourth Promotion to Middle-Level Slave

=============
"Bang!" Three clear sounds rang out from a wooden building in the slave tribe, and a strange force emanated from a young boy.

"Ding-dong~! Advancement to intermediate slave! Congratulations on completing the main quest! Reward: 0 points of murderous aura!" A cold, mechanical voice rang out.

"Midnight? Oh my god, that's incredibly stingy!" Xiang Tianxiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, jumped up upon hearing the news, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood!

I went through so much trouble to advance to the level of a mid-level slave, and I didn't even get a promotion reward!
Immediately afterward, Xiang Tianxiao calmed himself down and entered the system to check his main panel information:
1. Personal Information: Name: Xiang Tianxiao!
2. Current level: Trash! (Vortex Level 3)
3. Current Equipment: Set: Commoner Clothing, Shoes: Ordinary Cloth Boots, Weapon: Hybrid, Early Game Tool: Level 1 Whirlpool Chisel.

4. Current title: Medium-level Slave! (Unverified)

5. Current Honor: Joined the Explosive Sky Tribe.

6. Current main quest: Continue to complete the intermediate slave rank title certification! (Reward: 500 Kill Points)
7. Current instance: Mining Vortex Ore!
8. Current remaining amount of malevolent energy: 900 points!
9. Current system recommended task: Level up by defeating monsters! Defeat the E-rank mercenary, Ghost Radiance...

"Damn it... kill... Onikiri!?"

Xiang Tianxiao's lips twitched violently as his gaze fell directly on the line of blood-red push notification text.

I've only just arrived on the territory of someone's subordinate, Shuangbaotian, and I haven't even had a chance to make a name for myself yet, and I'm already trying to take down Shuangbaotian's boss, who's above me?

"Ding-dong! Warm reminder: Mission accepted successfully, lasting for three months... Failure will result in elimination!" A completely emotionless notification sound came through.

"What, what do you mean?"

Xiang Tianxiao was dumbfounded. So this ridiculous system's tasks even had an automatic acceptance function?
"I refuse to accept this! Gui Hui is an E-rank mercenary. I took such a huge risk, what about the benefits?"

Xiang Tianxiao sat down in anger, looking like he was saying, "I'm quitting!"

Erasure? You try erasing one yourself!
"Friendly reminder: The Harem Gossip tab requires a minimum level of E-rank mercenary to unlock!"

The system voice sounded again, instantly taking care of that person who aspired to become the king of gossip!
"Phew!" Xiang Tianxiao exhaled a breath of stale air, calming the turmoil in his heart. "Let's do it! It's just an E-level mercenary, right? Three months? I'll go and kill him in a couple of days!"

Xiang Tianxiao said arrogantly: No matter who you are, anyone who stands in the way of the Melon King must die!
Following that, Xiang Tianxiao asked the system a few more questions, finally figuring out a few unfamiliar terms and the issues he cared about most.

1. Weapons: Hybrid: This means being able to wield all eighteen weapons with ease, taking turns using them! The highest level of hybrid weaponry is when everything becomes a weapon!
2. Vortex Ore: A mysterious ore that enhances the power of vortexes, containing immense energy; its value depends on the quality of its find. Note: Vortex Ore and other valuable items can be used to exchange for Qi Points.

3. Title Level Authentication: A type of identity authentication. Successfully obtaining a title badge will grant you the corresponding title! It is used to display your status and rank, but it is not absolutely related to your strength level. Therefore, once you reach the required strength, you may not need to undergo authentication!

Note: System recommendation for authentication for easier travel! The more prestigious the badge, the greater the range of superior privileges you can enjoy when entering cities of all sizes!
"Tch! Superior treatment? Who cares?" Xiang Tianxiao said with a disdainful look, but he had his own plans.

A hazy image appears:

The arrogant middle-class slave, looking utterly smug, gazed down at the humble, smiling figure before him, a man who seemed to be genuinely laughing at the sky.

"Tch, a lowly commoner?"

The middle-ranking slave glanced at the earth-colored badge, gave a disdainful sneer, and swung a machete down in his face.

A loud "bang!" was heard.

The pupils of the middle-class slave contracted.

Even on his deathbed, he couldn't understand why that lowly character wearing the badge of a lowly commoner could kill him, a middle-class slave, with a single blow!

Immediately, the lowly commoner abandoned his previous humble demeanor, arrogantly raised his head, strode forward, and stepped on the unseeing corpse...

"Haha, haha~!"

"Playing dumb to fool others, his look is incredibly cool!"

Xiang Tianxiao threw his head back and laughed loudly, his eyes turning into crescent moons.

"Bang~!"

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the wooden door, startling Xiang Tianxiao and abruptly ending his lewd and evil laugh.

A gust of wind blew in, causing the wooden door to shake and sway, and several pieces of broken wood chips fell out.

One corner of the upper door bolt was broken, leaving only the square bolt hanging there, barely clinging to life!

"Who...who are you? What do you want?"

Seeing the figures rushing in through the door, Xiang Tianxiao's face turned pale, and he pretended to be terrified.

With a "thud," he fell to the ground with a thud, his body involuntarily backing away.

"What are you doing? I don't like the look of you, so I'm going to do what you want and take care of you!"

"Brother, look! This guy is such a coward, any one of us could handle him. Why did we have to call all of us over?"

"Exactly, we thought it was something special, but it was all for nothing. It's so cheap!" The three menacing-looking men said one after another, their words full of contempt for Xiang Tianxiao.

"Yes, yes! What this brother says is true. I am weak and cannot withstand your rough treatment. Please let me off the hook this time!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianxiao, who had already retreated to a corner, immediately burst into tears and begged the three bullies!

Look at it, it looks exactly like a frightened little bird!

"Let you go? Wouldn't that break the rules..."

"Are you blind?! Who are you calling 'big brother'? I'm their boss!"

Suddenly, the man in the middle seemed to want to devour Xiang Tianxiao whole.

While angrily cursing at Xiang Tianxiao, he also interrupted the person to his right!
"Boss... Big Brother... Dog Eyes?"

This loud shout startled Xiang Tianxiao, turning his face pale and causing him to stammer. He lowered his head in fear, unable to meet the three men's horrifying gazes.

Second-level vortex?

No one noticed that Xiang Tianxiao, head down and huddled in the corner, had a slight smirk on his lips.

"Hey, big brother, don't be angry. We'll teach this kid a lesson today, teach him how to be discerning and humble. Third brother, go and close the door!"

The man who had previously said it "wouldn't last long" immediately gave a wink.

"Applying just a little force this time will be absolutely safe!"

The third brother excitedly ran to the wooden door and channeled a strange energy into it.

"Bang!" The wooden door slammed shut again, and the light inside the cabin dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, a few lines came from inside the room that sounded very familiar to Xiang Tianxiao.

"The usual deal? Cut off the nose or the ear?"

"Let me think. This kid is so despicable, how about... we cut them all off together!"

"Hmm, that's a good idea!"

Good heavens, I haven't used such scary tricks for a long time. Are these three barbaric natives still stuck at this stage? They're not even as scary as 'gnawing on a kidney'!
Xiang Tianxiao sneered inwardly.

The surroundings became unusually quiet.

The sound of footsteps, "tap, tap," could be heard clearly, and the atmosphere seemed terrifyingly oppressive.

Three grinning black figures approached the thin figure in the corner of the wall step by step.

When they were still half a meter away, with a "whoosh," three gleaming sharp knives emerged from behind the three dark figures and suddenly stabbed at Xiang Tianxiao, who was terrified in the corner.

The three men's cold faces gradually turned ferocious, and they were about to stab Xiang Tianxiao.

The leader couldn't help but chime in with a warning, "Don't kill him! Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain to the boss!"

"Hey, don't be afraid! Go all out and kill them!" Suddenly, a cold voice, both strange and familiar, entered the ears of the three.

===========
Fifth Recycling Gifts
===========
The three men were slightly taken aback. "Bang!" The next moment, all three short swords shattered together!
The three men, still in shock, felt a terrifying force coming from their chests. Their sternums cracked with a crisp sound, and then they were slammed against the wooden door, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"you……"

"Level 3 Vortex!"

"how come?"

A sharp, burning pain shot through their chests. The three of them stared in extreme terror at the figure clapping his hands as he strolled leisurely towards them from the corner of the wall.

They desperately wanted to escape, but the escape door behind them was welded shut by the three of them!
Moreover, it has been thoroughly inspected by the three of us, so its quality is absolutely top-notch!
"Jie Jie Jie!"

Xiang Tianxiao smiled wickedly and walked slowly closer, glancing at the three heavily injured people in front of him.

Then, he raised his right hand.

"Ah!" Suddenly, three screams like pigs being slaughtered rang out, the sound shaking the entire wooden house slightly, yet strangely, no one came forward. The three who had been hoping for rescue were now filled with despair!
"Bang!" As Xiang Tianxiao delivered his final punch, the three bruised and swollen dead dogs lay on the ground, panting heavily, blood flowing from their mouths and staining the broken teeth on the ground red!
Trying to trap a dog behind closed doors? I can do that too!
Just as I wished for it, it came true! In an instant, I managed to show off and leave...

"Brothers! How was my Mad Dog Fist routine? Did it feel good?"

Xiang Tianxiao sat calmly in a chair and asked the three men, who looked utterly miserable, in a very serious tone.

"Waaah, I won't do it again, I'll never do it again!"

"Brother Tianxiao, you are the real elder brother! We are all your little brothers!"

"Please, Brother Xiao, have mercy on us! We'll do anything for you, we'd be eternally grateful..."

The three men, who had been lying there like dead dogs, immediately endured the excruciating pain all over their bodies, half-climbed up from the ground, and kept kowtowing to Xiang Tianxiao, begging for mercy.

"Tsk tsk, not enough sincerity! Let me think, I think I also have a set of 'athlete' foot treatments'..." Xiang Tianxiao grinned wickedly.

As he spoke, his malicious gaze swept over the three men in front of him, and he continued, "How about you guys give it a try?"

Although none of them knew what "athlete's foot" was, they knew from the smirking face of the person opposite them that it couldn't be anything good!

Instantly, the three of them turned green!

"Brother! No, no, no! I'm willing to offer up all my possessions! I hope you'll accept them!"

The third brother instantly ran up to Xiang Tianxiao with a fawning expression and poured out a bunch of miscellaneous things.

"Brother Xiao, I'm also willing to offer all my possessions! Plus..."

The second son turned to look at the eldest son, gritted his teeth, and continued, "In addition, my wife's unborn daughter will be your child bride!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Xiang Tianxiao's lips twitch uncontrollably, but the other two were also completely dumbfounded! This was truly going all out...

"Get out of here! You're not worthy of being a father!" Xiang Tianxiao said with a gloomy face, kicking someone away.

Just kidding! Although our Brother Xiao is a playboy who enjoys chatting with young ladies late into the night, he's not so depraved as to even go after a baby in the womb!
"And you?"

After calming himself down, Xiang Tianxiao returned to the large chair, crossed his legs, and sat there for the long time. He looked at his boss, who hadn't spoken for a while, and asked, "How do you plan to resolve this matter?"

When the eldest brother saw Xiang Tianxiao looking over, he panicked and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In fact, this guy is the poorest!

After all, being the eldest brother means you get whatever you need from the second or third brother.

Now that my second and third sons have given away all their possessions, what can I give them?
Huh? Suddenly, the eldest brother's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "If the second brother is willing to give away his daughter, why don't I do it too?" No sooner said than done, the eldest brother immediately stepped forward and hugged Xiang Tianxiao's leg.

He shouted in a trembling voice, "Brother Xiao, I have nothing left, but I can give you my beautiful wife, Madam Ma. I only ask that you accept it and let me go!"

The second and third brothers stared in disbelief, their faces contorted with pain, their hearts pounding: "Big brother, how could you do this!"

"Brother Xiao, then I'm willing to give it up too!" The third brother immediately added insult to injury.

Boom! Like a raging storm, Xiang Tianxiao was instantly enraged. "Shut up! You bunch of scumbags, don't mention it again if you don't want to die!"

Upon hearing this, the three looked at Xiang Tianxiao expectantly and tentatively asked, "Brother Xiao, do you think... we can leave now...?"

"Get lost! Get lost! If you're not satisfied, you can come back again. My Mad Dog Fist is waiting for you!"

As he spoke, Xiang Tianxiao breathed hot air onto his fist and smashed the wooden door apart with a single punch.

"Brother Xiao, you're joking!"

A chill ran down their spines, and the three of them shrank back, shivering in unison, their faces filled with fear.

"Get out of here!" Xiang Tianxiao shouted.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao! Thank you, Brother Xiao!" The three were overjoyed and scrambled to the door.

"Wait!" But before they had taken two steps, the three were stopped by a voice!

"Brother Xiao, is there anything else you need?" The three of them, with long faces, reluctantly turned to look at Xiang Tianxiao, this devil!
"Remember to bring all your valuables when you get back! Also, kneel on a washboard for half an hour while covered in durians, don't ask me why!"

Xiang Tianxiao snorted coldly at the three of them, then waved his hand to signal them that they could continue to leave.

Suddenly! The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The eldest brother quickly said, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, we'll do as you say as soon as we get back!"

After saying that, the three of them ran off in a flash!
"Tsk tsk, they run pretty fast!"

Xiang Tianxiao couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement at the sudden increase in speed that the group had displayed.

A quarter of an hour later...

"What kind of random stuff did you collect here? You sent it all to me like it's a treasure?"

Xiang Tianxiao glanced at the pile of things outside the door and couldn't believe he had robbed nothing.

These piles of trash feel like the junk I collected in my past life—all useless junk!
So, with no other choice, Xiang Tianxiao threw everything to the system's Pixiu-themed scrap metal recycling station!
However, despite the seemingly insignificant amount, he managed to earn nearly a hundred points of evil energy!
Xiang Tianxiao, who had never worried about money before, couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, making money in this other world is really not easy for me!"

For him now, murderous aura is money—money that can satisfy all his desires for power!
With these hundred points of malevolent energy, combined with his original nine hundred points, Xiang Tianxiao, under the various temptations of the system, spent a full thousand points of malevolent energy to exchange for a... incomplete body-refining technique!
Xiang Tianxiao strongly suspected that he had been misled by the system, but he had no evidence!
Looking at the illusory cultivation technique projection called "Overbearing Body Refining Technique" in front of him, Xiang Tianxiao was furious. Timmy was only at the first level!
No wonder Xiang Tianxiao fell into the trap; the system had figured out our Brother Xiao's tastes!

In short: Practicing this method can strengthen your body, prolong your life, and even give you eighteen-pack abs!
Like a hungry wolf, Brother Xiao quickly tapped the screen, and immediately the system "dinged" and deducted the money, successfully selling out all his assets...

===============
Chapter Six: Mining the Whirlpool Ore

===============
As the sun rises and sets, a new day begins!

Bathed in the warm rays of sunlight filtering through the cracks in the wood, a vortex of energy slowly disappeared from the handsome man's body.

"Brother Tianxiao, are you up yet? Time to get ready for work today!"

"Bro! Why are you waiting for that bastard?"

Amidst a series of knocks on the door, a booming voice rang out from outside, and a somewhat melancholic girl's voice could be faintly heard.

"It's Brother Bakuten!"

With a creak, Xiang Tianxiao walked out of the wooden door with the vortex chisel in his hand and saw Shuang Baotian first.

Immediately afterward, his eyes lit up as he looked at the graceful figure standing behind Shuangbaotian.

"Hehe, Lemon Girl~!"

Xiang Tianxiao winked and fawned, calling out enthusiastically, but unfortunately, his efforts were met with indifference.

"Hmph! I don't know you well, stay away from me!" Seeing Xiang Tianxiao fawning over her, the girl pouted, turned her head away, and snorted coldly.

Suddenly, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the bone. Brother Xiao's lips twitched for a few breaths.

He immediately consoled himself, "There's nothing I can do about it, he's handsome, even women are jealous..."

"Ahem... Brother, let's go. The sun is already high in the sky. If we don't go soon, we'll miss work, and Lord Guihui will be furious!"

Thinking that Xiang Tianxiao was embarrassed, Shuang Baotian quickly coughed lightly, turned his head and glared at Shuang Ningmeng, and directly changed the subject to talk about serious business.

"Alright, Brother Baotian, lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianxiao nodded knowingly and followed the two through the elegant wooden pavilions, heading towards the small hill behind the slave tribe.

Along the way, all the wooden buildings we passed were locked up, and we didn't see a single person.

I suppose they've all gone to work already. This weather is fantastic, it's really good for us!

Xiang Tianxiao silently kept Shuang Baotian's kindness in his heart: One day, he would definitely help him show off and fly high! Cough cough, actually it's not just that, more importantly, it's also so that I can get my hands on their Shuang Lemon girl!
"Leader! Lemon Girl... Brother Tianxiao!" Just as the three of them reached the stone wall behind the mountain, a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face appeared out of thin air and came forward to greet them.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he emerged from the incredibly realistic stone wall behind the mountain.

This man was none other than Hou San'er!

"Hou San'er, it must have been hard for you to supervise everyone's work all by yourself!"

Shuang Ningmeng smiled slightly and nodded gently. She was incredibly polite to Hou San'er.

"Huh?" Hou San'er was taken aback. This Lemon Girl seemed a little different today. She was calling him that way too intimately!
Although he was puzzled, he quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you for your concern, young lady. It is my duty! And it is my good fortune to be able to share the leader's burdens!"

"Hmph! Flatterer!"

Unexpectedly, the back and forth between the two infuriated a certain person standing nearby with a gloomy expression!
Is this what they call differential treatment?

Xiang Tianxiao secretly snorted at Hou San'er, inwardly screaming and crying out.

However, Shuang Ningmeng deliberately faced Hou San'er and said a few more nice words in a random way.

He then glanced sideways at Xiang Tianxiao, who had a gloomy face beside him, and felt incredibly smug!

"Okay, Hou San'er, hurry up and take us inside!" Shuang Baotian looked up at the sky, clearly not wanting to waste any more time, and said directly.

Hou San'er nodded repeatedly and immediately led the three of them into the smooth stone wall.

If some oblivious people saw this scene, they would definitely exclaim, "So there really is such a thing as 'wall-penetrating magic'!"

After entering the stone wall.

The space inside suddenly felt more spacious, and the sounds of hammering and banging echoed throughout.

"Greetings, Leader! Greetings, Chief Hou!"

"I've met Lemon Girl before...!"

"Greetings, leader..."

Hou San'er led the group deeper into the cave. Several shirtless men, covered in sweat, kept greeting Shuang Baotian and his two companions as they passed by.

As for Xiang Tianxiao?
Everyone just saw him as a "useless lucky guy who was chosen by the leader," so he was completely ignored by those burly men who looked disdainful!
After Shuang Baotian nodded, the burly men turned back to continue vigorously hammering the dark, shiny stone.

Shuang Baotian subconsciously smiled bitterly and glanced at the nonchalant and thin Xiang Tianxiao behind him. Clearly, he didn't think much of Xiang Tianxiao either.

Xiang Tianxiao had actually seen all these subtle actions silently, but his expression remained unchanged.

"We've arrived, Chief!"

Hou San'er suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Xiang Tianxiao with pity, then couldn't help but continue to say to Shuang Baotian: "Today, Brother Tianxiao is late. There's nothing we can do but work with the leader to mine the hard ore in the deeper parts!"

"Hou San'er, can you be exempted today?"

Shuang Baotian frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

Just as he was about to say, "Considering he's a newcomer...", he was interrupted by a female voice.

"Brother, if I, a weak woman, can endure the intensity of excavation deep in the mine with you, are you worried that he, a man, can't handle it?"

Shuang Ningmeng giggled, then turned her head and looked at Xiang Tianxiao with a sly glint in her eyes, pressing him for an answer: "Just tell me, are you capable or not?"

When Xiang Tianxiao was nudged in the waist by Lemon's elbow, he snapped back to reality as if he'd been electrocuted. He immediately raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and said, "Alright! Lemon is right! It's nothing, Brother Baotian, just follow the rules. I don't mind!"

"Hey, then remember to act within your capabilities and don't overdo it!"

Seeing that Xiang Tianxiao himself didn't care, Shuang Baotian sighed and after sending Hou San'er away, he gave Tianxiao a few more instructions.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them spread out and found a suitable spot for mining on their own.

Boom! Two earth-shattering explosions came from the rock walls on both sides behind me.

Xiang Tianxiao subconsciously turned his head to glance over.

There, Shuang Baotian gripped a vortex chisel as thick as an arm with both hands and smashed it relentlessly. The immense force sent fragments flying everywhere! And Shuang Ningmeng was in a similar state.

Anyway, both of them looked very relaxed!

Good heavens! Who knew that this seemingly cute girl, Shuang Lemon, was actually so ruthless?

Xiang Tianxiao expressed that he was shocked.

"Ding-dong! Two superior-quality level 3 vortex chisels have been detected. They can be exchanged for 2,000 evil energy points. Please confirm as soon as possible whether to accept the side quest: Kill the Shuang siblings and seize the level 3 vortex chisels!" Suddenly, the dog system issued a cold notification.

"Damn, not again?"

Upon hearing the news, Xiang Tianxiao was startled. Before he could even marvel at the considerable value of the Level 3 Vortex Chisel, he decisively began frantically clicking the "Reject" button on the task system interface, where only 0.01 milliseconds of countdown remained.

Immediately, the automatic call function was turned off, and the system interface disappeared silently, thus ending the matter!
Seeing this, Xiang Tianxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he often grabbed red envelopes in his previous life and had amazing hand speed; otherwise, it would have almost turned into a tragedy.

Thinking this, he looked up and saw the delicate figure of her jade-like hand constantly wielding the level-three vortex chisel. Each time she brought down the vortex chisel, it would bring up pieces of debris, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Hehe! Lemon girl, do you need Brother Xiao to help you with this kind of rough work?" Xiang Tianxiao approached Shuang Lemon and flirted with her.

"Hmph, get out of my way, I don't need you!" Shuang Ningmeng snorted, not only ungrateful but also deliberately aiming the vortex chisel at the spot where Xiang Tianxiao was standing and chiseling towards him.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Tianxiao shook his head and sighed, about to take a step away, otherwise he would be crippled.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly stopped the vortex chisel, turned around and blinked, looking at Xiang Tianxiao with her bright eyes.

How could one describe her as simply charming and captivating!

Hey, you still say you don't need it?
You're all sweating profusely from exhaustion, you must have figured it out and want to use your cuteness to beg me for help, right?
Xiang Tianxiao was secretly delighted, and then, in what he thought was a very gentlemanly manner, he said to the cute girl, "Don't worry, Mengmeng, I'll do it for you!"

"Pah! Greasy!" Unexpectedly, Shuang Ningmeng got goosebumps, suddenly gripped the vortex chisel in her hand, and quickly took two steps back.

She then adopted a wary expression and said, "I mined all the ore here. You didn't come here just to steal my credit, did you?"

What?! Does she really think I'm such a shameless person?

Just as Xiang Tianxiao was about to start his hard work, his lips twitched. He awkwardly withdrew the level one vortex chisel he had just pulled out of his right hand, speechless at the wary little girl.

"No way! You probably don't know how to use the Whirlpool Chisel and are trying to steal the technique, right? Hmph, that must be it. I'm not showing you!"

Before Xiang Tianxiao could even speak, the cute girl uttered another remark that left him speechless.

Immediately, Shuang Ningmeng rolled her big, dark eyes, turned around to block Xiang Tianxiao's view, lightly wielded the vortex chisel, and continued to work diligently!

The cautious manner indicated that he was afraid Xiang Tianxiao would discover the secret of using the vortex chisel.

"Damn it, I haven't even said anything yet... No good deed goes unpunished!"

Seeing this, Xiang Tianxiao was indignant. Dragging the vortex chisel, he angrily returned to his previous position.

"Huh? It's still a bit hard!"

Raising the vortex chisel, Xiang Tianxiao casually smashed it against the rock wall in front of him. A shockwave reflected back, making his palm numb.

Good heavens! No wonder these burly, lowly commoners struggle so much to even open a mine.

The strength of this ore deposit is probably not much different from the fine iron dagger I gave away!

While surprised, Xiang Tianxiao was immediately filled with a strong sense of interest.

A series of swirling energies, like serpentine snakes, flowed into the vortex chisel with a special pattern.

Hmph! Who said I don't know how to use it?

Immediately afterwards, a series of powerful and ear-piercing explosions came from the hard stone walls where sparks crackled and popped.

At the same time, large chunks of vortex ore fell from the rock wall deposit!
Immediately, the slaves scattered throughout the rest of the cave, who were buried in their arduous mining work, looked up at Tianxiao upon hearing the news.

Everyone was dumbfounded!
Is this fake? He must have opened a fake mine!

The group that had previously joked about watching Xiang Tian laugh suddenly rubbed their eyes and stared enviously at the ore falling in front of him.

If even newcomers have such productivity, doesn't that expose that we old folks are slacking off?
"What are you all standing there for? Get yourselves together! Our tribe's production capacity today is 20 million. If we don't meet that target, none of us will have an easy time!"

With a loud shout, Shuang Baotian chiseled off a piece of ore that was half a cubic meter in size.

The next instant, everyone quickly turned around and began pounding on the stone wall in front of them even more vigorously.

Seeing this, Shuang Baotian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he turned his head and glanced meaningfully at the tan medal on Xiang Tianxiao's chest.

Not far away, Shuang Ningmeng blinked her big eyes and let out a soft "Eh!"

Every time a baby hatches, it's a new beginning.
