What? All the female protagonists have systems, but I don't?

"That's... a black card?"

The gold digger also saw the card and was equally shocked.

She actually called someone who could produce a black card a "stinking beggar." If the other person is a "stinking beggar," then what is she?

This time, they really brought shame upon themselves.

Lin Yuan didn't care much about the two security guards, the gold digger, or the so-called President Zhou.

When you're in a high enough position, you can't hear the voices of those below you, and arguing with them is simply a waste of time.

With the help of the hotel manager, Lin Yuan quickly checked into a deluxe suite, and he also booked a room for Yang Gang next door.

"Guest, please feel free to ask if you need anything."

"Yes, I'll contact you if I need anything."

Lin Yuan spoke to the hotel manager, and then dismissed the manager.

Lin Yuan closed and locked the door, then took off all his clothes and took out the Blood Pill from the mahogany box.

"Alright, now let's see how much this Blood Pill will improve me."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, reviewed the Wuxiang Gong technique in his mind, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he swallow the blood pill in one gulp.

The blood pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, turning into a liquid that flowed into his abdomen and then into his limbs and bones.

A warm current filled Lin Yuan's body, which gradually turned hot. Lin Yuan felt as if a raging fire was burning inside him. The terrifying temperature scorched his skin red, and sweat kept seeping out.

Lin Yuan dared not delay and immediately began to circulate the Formless Technique, even though he was still very unfamiliar with it.

He began to practice according to the book, once, twice, three times... As the number of times he practiced increased, he became more and more proficient in the practice of the Formless Skill. A surge of energy was condensing within his body and then circulating through his meridians.

The burning sensation continued to intensify. Lin Yuan felt as if he were in a high-temperature sauna or an oven, as if he would be completely cooked and turned into a roasted human in the next second.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, oblivious to the passage of time.

When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he felt incredibly sticky and smelled terrible, to the point that he couldn't stand it.

Without hesitation, he rushed to the bathroom and washed all the mud off his body.

After taking a shower, he walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe and immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.

"Feels good, feels great!"

Lin Yuan stretched his body briefly, feeling a surge of power throughout his body. He was still unsure of his current strength level.

According to the original work, the realm before reaching the Lesser Celestial Realm is divided into five levels.

Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, and Human: Human is the lowest rank, Heaven is the highest, and each rank is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

This is considered the most common type of level classification.

"Long Haochen is currently at the mid-level Earth Rank. If I want to contend with him, I need to reach at least that level."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As the chosen one, Long Haochen was only at the mid-level Earth rank when he first appeared, but with his current strength, he can fight against a low-level Heaven rank opponent.

As expected of the protagonist, challenging opponents of higher levels is commonplace for him.

Inside the room, Lin Yuan tried throwing a few random punches, each one generating a powerful gust of wind, which he found quite exhilarating.

Lin Yuan checked his body again and found no discomfort. After the Blood Pill cleansed his marrow, his body was now perfect, with well-defined muscle lines, and the previous weakness had completely disappeared.

Lin Yuan checked the time; it was already past 10 p.m. He decided to rest at the hotel for the night before heading to the other two places to seize the opportunities that belonged to Long Haochen.

The next day, after getting enough rest, Lin Yuan woke up Yang Gang and they prepared to set off.

"Young Master, I feel like you're a little different than before."

"Oh? What's different?"

Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"Young Master has become more handsome than before."

"Heh...is that all?"

"I'm sorry, young master, you do give me a different feeling, but apart from becoming more handsome, I can't say anything else."

Yang Gang scratched the back of his head with a somewhat simple and honest expression.

The moment he saw Lin Yuan today, he felt that the young master was different from before. He didn't know how to describe this difference, whether it was temperament or magnetic field.

In the end, all I could say was that he'd become even more handsome than before.

"Alright, let's go. We still have two more places to visit."

Lin Yuan said.

"Okay, Master."

There's an antique street in the north of the city. People who come here on weekdays are usually those with some assets. Ordinary workers can't afford to come here. Any item can be priced at tens of thousands of yuan.

Driven by Yang Gang, they soon arrived at the antique street.

Lin Yuan didn't linger and went straight to the innermost shop, which was called "Old Brand".

Upon entering the time-honored shop, there was a counter displaying all sorts of unusual items, including some exquisite antique jade pieces.

As for whether this ancient jade is real or fake, you'll need your own discerning eye to tell.

It might be a genuine antique jade, or it might have been carved just a couple of days ago. Antiques are all about deception. If you know what you're doing, you're fine, but if you don't, you're guaranteed to get scammed.

"Please feel free to look around, sir. If you find anything you like, I can give you a discount."

The shop owner was a refined old man, about fifty years old, dressed in a traditional style. In front of him was a birdcage with a parrot inside.

"I'll give you a discount, I'll give you a discount."

The parrot mimicked what it said.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded in response, then wandered around the store without heading straight for his desired destination.

Finally, he arrived at the display case of ancient jade. His eyes swept over the exquisite pieces of ancient jade, and he quickly found the one he wanted.

It was a round ancient jade piece, carved with the mythical beast Xuanwu. This jade was called the Heart-Protecting Jade. Although it was a jade object, it was also a magical artifact.

According to Lin Yuan's memory, the original novel described the Heart-Protecting Jade as being able to withstand a full-force attack from a high-level Heavenly Realm expert, but with a limited number of uses.

It can only withstand three attacks; after that, the protective jade will shatter.

In the original story, Long Haochen escaped danger many times thanks to this thing.

"Boss, let me take a look at this ancient jade."

Lin Yuan pointed to the heart-protecting jade and said to the shop owner.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This antique jade is the best-looking one I have here. It is said that this antique jade can protect people from disasters. It is a divine jade. If you like it, you can take it for 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand? Didn't you just say you were going to give me a discount?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Sir, 200,000 is already a discounted price for you."

"I didn't hear you say you'd give me a discount. How about this, could you give me another discount? This antique jade is quite nice. If you lower the price a bit more, I'll take it."

"hey-hey……"

Upon hearing that Lin Yuan expressed interest in purchasing, the shop owner smiled happily and said...

"In that case, I'll give you a further discount on the base price of 200,000, how about 180,000? That's the lowest I can go."

"Two hundred thousand, this ancient jade is mine."

Before Lin Yuan could speak, someone spoke first.
