Chapter 316: Chapter 318: Dual Transcendents, Return to Earth, Is This What a Young Married Woman Is Like (10,000-Word ga Chapter) Chapter 316: Chapter 318: Dual Transcendents, Return to Earth, Is This What a Young Married Woman Is Like (10,000-Word ga Chapter) Lide approached with a touch of curiosity, it was an object half buried in the Magic Crystal Stone, with only a gray, pointed hemisphere peeking out.
It resembled so kind of tal stone, but it also seed like so creature’s egg.
“Is this a Spider Queen’s egg as well?”
Lide slightly narrowed his eyes and subconsciously opened the attribute panel.
Unknown Bronze Egg
Status: Deep sleep
Explanation: Appears to be the egg of so powerful life form that has absorbed a portion of the Plane Power while hibernating, but due to the passage of ti, it has lost most of its vitality and requires strong Life Force to reactivate it.
Unknown Bronze Egg?
The na is truly top-notch, only soone with no culture would be so perfunctory.
Lide shook his head, just as he was about to reach out for it, but he suddenly felt a sense of danger, his back hair stood on end in an instant.
He imdiately retracted his hand, and after a mont, the strong sense of crisis dissipated.
Lide’s figure paused for a long while, and after ensuring no more danger was sensed, he sowhat relaxed.
This Bronze Egg was definitely not simple.
After that incident, when he looked again at the Bronze Egg that couldn’t be fully identified by the system, the glint in his eyes grew even hotter.
When he had just tried to take the Spider Queen’s eggs, he didn’t feel that deadly threat, but now with this inconspicuous Bronze Egg, he could.
This ant the value of the Bronze Egg was much higher than that of the eggs laid by the Extraordinary Spider Queen.
He seed to have found sothing incredible.
A flicker of excitent passed through his eyes.
However, Lide did not rush to take the Bronze Egg but turned to the row of pale golden Spider Eggs after deep thought and took a deep breath.
His gaze gradually grew intense.
Crack~
The space in front of him shattered, and Lide’s figure, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, directly placed the first Spider Egg into the System Space.
At that exact second, the twelve 15-level Magic Spiders guarding outside the egg-laying chamber sensed an unusual presence, waking imdiately.
The Shadow Blade’s feature of being immune to Divine Level and below Investigation Skill only took effect in the Dinsion Plane, and after leaving the Dinsion Plane, the psychic web woven by the Magic Spiders was imdiately triggered by him.
The Magic Spiders guarding the egg-laying chamber plunged into a rage, rising swiftly to crawl towards the chamber.
In the blink of an eye, Lide had collected seven Spider Queen’s eggs, when the first Magic Spider had just entered the egg-laying chamber.
Upon seeing Lide, the intruder’s figure, the Magic Spider fell imdiately into a furious rage, letting out a shrill scream.
The scream caused the spider silk on the rock walls to vibrate, this warning signal began to spread out along the spider silk.
The speed of the vibration was like that of light, and within a few seconds, the trembling of the web spread throughout the entire hollowed-out mountain.
All the spiders went into a frenzy, rushing towards the egg-laying chamber as if a tide were coming in.
But it was too late, by the ti the Magic Spider scread and prepared to cast a spell to attack Lide, he had already placed the last of the Spider Queen’s eggs into the System Space.
Ti was running out.
Lide’s eyes narrowed slightly, he could already sense a severe crisis looming.
It seed like the next second he would be torn apart by so powerful being.
Without ti to think, he imdiately bent down, picked up the waterlon-sized Bronze Egg from the Magic Crystal Stone, and placed it into the System Space.
Just a second before he left, he waved his hand and two Mage’s Hands transford into the shape of spoons appeared in the air, scooping two large spoonfuls of the incredibly precious Star Magic Crystal Stone into the System Space.
After this action, every pore on Lide’s body was frantically warning him.
It was as if he had angered a Divine being.
Lide was about to act, looking at the sea of Magic Spiders that had poured into the egg-laying chamber, when his mind thundered, as if hit by a hamr.
Spirit Shock.
The spirit shock ford by the twelve 15-level Magic Spiders was enough to cause brains of life forms of the sa level to burst open and die.
Even with Lide’s terrifying strength, he too was dealt a heavy blow, his figure suddenly froze.
At this mont, his Spiritual Sea was under direct attack, the shock from the Magic Spiders was like a giant hamr pounding on his head, causing blood to leak from his nose.
The intense pain turned Lide’s eyes blood-red in an instant.
Bloodline shackles, unlock.
The aura of his body exploded tenfold in an instant, firmly stabilizing the violently shaking spiritual sea.
Lide took a deep breath, didn’t entangle himself with these magic spiders, and swish— his body directly appeared outside the spawning room.
Instant teleportation.
The next second after appearing outside, space shattered, and his hands tore through the dinsion plane, disappearing from the senses of all spiders.
Shadow Blade.
The magic spiders entering the spawning room, seeing the empty scene on top of the magic crystal stone, instantly had their eyes turn blood-red, then let out a wail far more extre and piercing than before.
Their treasured egg had been stolen!!!
Kill that damned intruder!!!
The vibrations of the spider webs began to spread out madly at this mont.
However, after entering the dinsion plane, Lide felt that the fatal threat hadn’t disappeared, but instead was becoming more intense.
It was as if soone was resting a long knife against his neck, ready to chop down at any mont.
The terrifying sense of crisis didn’t allow him any ti to think further, as he flew away from the mountain at top speed, feeling the threat getting closer.
The Death God had already approached, scythe in hand.
Just as he flew out of the mountain, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Through the veil-like thin space wall, he saw the web that connected the mountains in the spider plane was now filled with spiders.
If previously there was a slight sparsity with a dozen blades spanning between each spider, now they were lined up densely, like skewered sugar-coated hawthorns.
The exaggerated number had completely covered the sky.
The already dim light was now fully extinguished, and the land was enshrouded in darkness.
After pausing for half a second, Lide imdiately fled toward the Space Gate at his maximum speed.
Danger, extre danger!
Every pore on his body was on end at this mont.
The chilling intent to kill was drawing nearer and nearer.
Fortunately, the Space Gate was less than ten kiloters away from the spawning ground.
When he transford into his true Bloodline form, his flight speed surpassed 200 kiloters per hour, and with the help of the high-level Floating Skill, he had now reached 300 kiloters per hour.
The distance of ten kiloters, he had arrived in just a few minutes.
But just as he was a re thousand blades away from the Space Gate.
Crack~ The space in front of Lide suddenly shattered.
Then, a massive spider, 8 blades tall and 20 blades long, covered in black fur, with a ghastly, twisted face, forcefully appeared in front of him.
The distorted face, like that of a hanged corpse, would send a shiver down even a warrior’s spine with a strong willpower.
“Hiss~”
A sound akin to a blade scraping across glass nearly pierced the eardrums.
The eyes of the Ghost-faced Spider Queen were filled with a chilling murderous intent.
The scent of the Spider Eggs on Lide drove the Extraordinary creature into a complete rage.
Those were its children!!
Roar~
The Ghost-faced Spider Queen fiercely opened its mouth, resembling a at grinder, and roared at Lide. A wave of impact, nearly warping the space itself, swept a thousand blades around.
Lide couldn’t avoid it in ti; instantly two Dragon Scale Shields ford around him, but these shields didn’t last more than a second.
Crack~
They burst apart imdiately.
The impact wave swept over, and Lide was hit with trendous damage. His robust body, possessing passive strengths like super strength and a super strong physique, felt as if it was slashed by countless knives.
Splurt, blood sprayed across the sky.
Even on his arms, stark white bones could be seen.
The Extraordinary Ghost-faced Spider Queen was unparalleled in its terror.
With a single action, it had inflicted upon Lide the greatest damage he’d ever endured.
Stimulated by the intense pain, Lide’s eyes beca even more blood-red.
He didn’t give up resistance, a sinister curve hanging at the corner of his mouth.
The killing intent was chilling.
His body disappeared from its original spot in an instant, and he quickly closed the distance to the Ghost-faced Spider Queen, barely a hundred blades away, his hands igniting with an intense glow.
Gurgling sounds—
The fireball, like magma, rolled in his hand.
Seeing Lide daring to rush toward her enraged the Ghost-faced Spider Queen, as if a lowly, insignificant bug was challenging her, bringing a humiliating annoyance that drove her to complete madness.
From her mouth burst forth shockwaves, multiples tis more intense than before.
Boom—
Within a diater of two thousand blades, it was an indiscriminate attack.
More than three thousand Cave Spiders burst dead, the fungal carpet on the ground was torn into pieces, and then the ground itself exploded, flinging countless fragnts of stone into the sky.
The scene was like an apocalyptic disaster.
Extraordinary power, destroying heaven and earth.
Bloodline Shackles (….. Activate the Bloodline of the Bloodline Ancestor, which increases strength, body recovery speed, and magic recovery speed by 1500% after activation. This effect doubles at night, and internal blood can be consud to maintain this state for a long ti.)
Lide’s body was visibly being destroyed at an alarming rate, but the terrifying recovery speed of the Ancestor Bloodline exaggeratedly restored the damage to normal.
Between these two extres, Lide’s bloodline power was draining away like a floodgate had been opened.
In just a few short seconds, more than 30% of his power was consud.
The pressure he faced when confronting the extraordinary far exceeded his estimations.
But, what was there to fear?
Fearless, without dread!
His eyes sharp as a falcon’s, piercing to behold.
The magma fireball in his hand, finally shaped after relentless impact, was now transford into a crimson hue after being infused by the abundant Power of Crimson.
Deadly and bewitchingly beautiful.
But just as he was about to smash it forward.
Pssht—
From behind, a limb like that of a praying mantis pierced through Lide’s body, floating in mid-air.
The sharp limb was like a knight’s lance, the tip glinting with a cold light as drops of blood slid down before being shattered by the shockwave.
Lide’s body stiffened abruptly, but without a mont’s hesitation, he gnashed his teeth onto his tongue, and the bubbling magma fireball in his hand was hurled straight at the Ghost-faced Spider Queen, less than thirty blades away.
Whoosh whoosh—
The magma fireball traveled the thirty-blade distance in less than a second.
The Ghost-faced Spider Queen paid no mind to the twin fireballs, their magic fluctuations greatly diminished having been infused with the Power of Crimson, appearing to be at most Three Circle Magic, and they seed to be so off-target, flying away at a wide distance.
However, just a half second later, pssht— the two magma fireballs took an eerie curve in mid-air and directly hit her eyes before she could react.
Pssht—
The Power of Crimson-enhanced, searing flas erupted, her right eye of two blades in diater being consud by fire in an instant.
But, shockingly, just monts later, the Ghost-faced Spider Queen seed barely hard by the twin magma fireballs striking her eyes.
There were rely slight scorched marks around her eye socket.
The magical resistance of an extraordinary body was unbelievably strong.
At this mont, Lide, impaled by the spider’s limb, seed to have anticipated this, a cold arc forming on his lips, the severe injury that would have killed an ordinary person seemingly having no effect on him.
His right hand stretched out, the Power of Crimson wildly diffusing, burning like Hellish Demon Flas.
He clenched his fist.
Crackle—
The Power of Crimson dispersed.
In that instant, the Ghost-faced Spider Queen’s right eye, which had seed undamaged from the hit, suddenly burst out in a crimson light.
Then, pssht—
It exploded.
Green sli splattered across the sky as the extraordinary Ghost-faced Spider Queen was blinded in one eye.
The terrifying pain drove the Ghost-faced Spider Queen into madness. Its eight massive limbs flailed wildly like razors, instantly bursting everything around it.
It was a spectacle more chilling than demons crawling out from the abyss.
Death was spreading.
A hint of regret flashed in Lide’s eyes. He hadn’t intended to take just an eye, but the entire head of the creature.
Alas, the extraordinary body was too horrific.
At that mont, the power inside his body had drained to its limit, leaving no possibility to continue the battle.
With his last bit of strength, he returned the two Divine Artifact Fragnts he was carrying back into the System Space.
‘Puchi’—after this action was completed, Lide noticed another sharp limb piercing through his heart from the corner of his eye.
His body was impaled by two limbs… beyond any chance of recovery.
Indescribable intense pain rampaged through Lide’s will, and he could vividly sense his life force slipping away at an indescribable rate.
Death was approaching.
He mustered all his remaining strength to slightly twist his head, and in the final mont before he fell, he finally saw the culprit behind him.
It was a Ghost-faced Spider with a mantis-like figure, about two blades in height and three blades in length, and it even had a pair of wings on its back. The aura it exuded was… extraordinary.
This plane had nurtured more than one extraordinary being.
After this thought crossed his mind, Lide’s vision darkened, and his consciousness plunged into silence.
At this ti, the Ghost-faced Spider Queen, with her right eye destroyed, rushed to Lide in an infinitely ferocious manner and, in the most brutal fashion, tore him into pieces with her sharp forelimbs.
Once everything was over, tranquility slowly returned to the air.
Only the painful howls of the Ghost-faced Spider Queen remained.
Monts later, the two-blade-tall extraordinary Ghost-faced Spider, flapping its wings, flew next to the eight-blade-tall Spider Queen, emitting a strange sizzling sound.
Monts later, the Ghost-faced Spider Queen furiously bent down, searching above the shredded carcass for the now vanished Spider Egg.
Monts later, realizing the absence of the Spider Egg’s scent, the Ghost-faced Spider Queen fell into an even more violent madness than ever before.
“Roar~”
The spider webs hanging high in the air were torn apart like ragged cloth by the Ghost-faced Spider Queen, who even crushed the towering mountains with her limbs.
This half-plane fell into an indescribable chaos due to the disappearance of the Spider Egg.
Nobodies knew how many Cave Spiders were slaughtered by the enraged Ghost-faced Spider Queen that day…
—

—
Lide felt as though he had undergone an incredibly unforgettable experience.
He could feel his body being torn apart.
And then… was this what death felt like?
The empty, baseless feeling of drifting in the endless void was sothing he never wanted to experience a second ti.
Afterward, his consciousness seed to enter an inexplicable environnt.
Like a mother’s womb, or so kind of sticky incubation chamber.
It was a pitch-black space where his thoughts moved sluggishly.
Even thinking simple thoughts, like what one plus one equaled, took a long ti to answer.
Yet within this darkness, he faintly sensed the body on Earth.
It seed he could return to Earth if he wanted to.
But as he prepared to do so several tis, a massive fear instantly welled up in his heart, suggesting that such an action would have grave consequences.
With his thoughts severely restricted, Lide was unable to ponder too much. The overwhelming fear instinctively made him abandon any plans to return to Earth.
He continued to drift in that unknown dark world.
There, only eternal silence existed, and he could not perceive the passage of ti. Fortunately, as his thought processes slowed and his responses dulled, he didn’t feel much boredom.
Maybe a day passed, or maybe it was a year.
At a certain mont, Lide suddenly felt as though he had regained a physical body.
But this body was very weak, so much so that he couldn’t control it to make any excessive movents.
It rely allowed his thoughts to speed up a bit.
Then, again, ti dragged on.
Lide could feel his reborn body becoming stronger, and at this ti his cognitive abilities were also gradually recovering.
In this void of pitch-black space, he eventually managed to think strenuously.
The first question was where he was now?
A previously idiotic question, but it took Lide a long ti to find the answer—in the Blood Pool.
Reassembling the body?
Yes…
As he pondered such simple matters, Lide’s thoughts gradually beca more normal.
Moreover, he could also feel his body getting stronger and his spirit gradually improving.
Another long stretch of ti passed, and suddenly Lide felt a sensation in his soul.
It seed that he could leave this dark environnt.
With a thought.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
He was t with a snow-white ceiling.
Sunlight stread in from outside the window, illuminating the room in dazzling brilliance.
Propping himself up with his arms behind him, Lide slowly sat up and took a mont to adjust to the familiar environnt before snapping back to reality.
This was Earth, this was his room…
With a slight frown, he wondered, had he returned? But what about the body in the Glory?
He quickly closed his eyes and sensed carefully, and after a mont, he sighed in relief.
He could sense that the body within the Glory was still developing, growing slowly like a baby.
He couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head at the thought.
“I didn’t expect that the Spider Plane would still have a second Transcendent, that was really an oversight.”
But at the sa ti, he felt sowhat fortunate. It was also lucky that this probe revealed the second Transcendent; otherwise, the price he might have to pay when actions unfolded later could be much greater.
The Blood Resurgence (limited) left a bat in the Blood Pool of the Bloodline; upon the original body’s death, it could be reborn in the Blood Pool. After rebirth, there would be a weak period of 1 month with a cooldown ti of three months.
Lide still clearly rembered the attributes of this trump card, but what puzzled him was, just how long did rebirth take?
He could feel the speed of body consolidation was not fast, even slowing down due to the exceedingly large amount of energy required.
This caused him so irritation. There were many things waiting for him to handle in Dawn City, and not being able to return was truly uncomfortable.
After a mont’s thought, he took out his phone, glanced at the ti, and began to calculate.
“June 20, 2051… The last ti I went out was a month ago, on May 10th. That ans this ti, my body repair has left unconscious for about a month.”
Fortunately, not too much ti had passed.
He sighed with relief after thinking it over.
Now that Dawn City had its own team, even if he didn’t return for a short period, no major chaos would ensue.
Moreover, now that he had appeared in the Blood Pool, Harrison would definitely receive the news in the shortest ti, and this Chairman of Dawn City would surely make the correct judgnt.
He stood up and stretched comfortably.
Since he couldn’t return, he might as well rest well for a while. Since the in-ga beta had closed, he had started a long period of seclusion. On Earth, he only checked in every ten days or half a month, while over at the Crimson Moon, he had beco an utterly hands-off manager.
After taking a shower, Lide changed into a Burberry casual business attire and prepared to go out.
Looking at the mirror image with a face and deanor that were bursting with charm, a satisfied smile appeared on Lide’s face.
Ever since becoming the Blood Clan Ancestor, every part of his body was trending towards perfection. His muscles and bones were growing stronger, slowly deviating from human to Superman.
Of course, the most apparent change was still on the outside—the perfect appearance was beyond simple description, and the longer the ti passed, the more astonishing he beca.
An even more crucial aspect that set Lide apart was—his deanor. If an impressive appearance left a deep impression, then the disposition of soone who had experienced great trials and was in control of countless destinies was like a resounding slap.
A vivid mory.
Even n had to admit the brilliance and luster of this man.
As the ruler of Dawn City and an elegant mber of the Bloodline, his unique deanor worked like a Charming Skill that could drive the opposite sex crazy and addicted.
Lide made so slight preparations before he left the house with his mobile phone in hand.
Before stepping out, he turned back to glance at the house left to him by his parents, his gaze inexplicably filled with nostalgia.
This ti, he planned to switch to a new residence.
The public beta of “Glory” was about to start. Although Earth was safe, just in case, he needed to move to a more secure and private location.
A luxurious villa community in Shanghai captured his attention as he browsed on his phone.
Though he didn’t want to admit it, no one could deny that this world has never been much about fairness. Once you hold enough wealth, you can easily access things that ordinary people can’t touch in their lifeti.
Whether it’s stunningly beautiful or handso opposite sexes, globally limited edition luxury sports cars, or custom-made private jets.
That’s why people madly chase money, climbing up at all costs.
No one gets excited about those papers that are more disgusting than garbage; it’s just because those papers represent resources, power, and the control that can satisfy any of your desires, the pleasure of making others kneel and flatter you.
Lide had a more visceral impression of these words as he stared at the overly sweet smile of the villa saleswoman in front of him, whose looks were on par with any so-called star.
Here, Fairy Lake Villa District, in the heart of Shanghai where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Three years after the opening, it beca one of Shanghai’s most luxurious villa communities. However, because of the price, sales had been slow.
“Mr. Li, this is one of only two remaining villas in the Fairy Lake Villa District. All residents here are either rich or noble, and even Shanghai’s richest own properties here…”
As she spoke, the high-heeled beauty seated herself gracefully next to Lide, her long legs, clad in black stockings, brushing against him as if accidentally.
She then proceeded to naturally hand him the floor plan clipped to the folder for him to examine, her face beaming with a more and more delightful smile.
“Mr. Li, this 400 square ter villa is priced at 250 million yuan, perfectly matching your status…”
The mont Lide entered their store, he caught everyone’s attention, including hers.
His presence was too outstandingly refined, combined with his not-less-than 100,000 yuan Burberry casual outfit— ‘young and wealthy’, this label was prominent and eye-catching.
Clothes can be borrowed, and she had seen imposters pretending to be rich, but temperant was sothing that could never be faked.
That elegant nobility perfectly encapsulated what it ans to be prestigious.
Custors of this type were always VIPs.
She had wrestled this chance away from several competitors, and she had to cherish it.
Selling a villa would net her at least a 300,000 yuan commission, and if the buyer didn’t bargain too much, that could even rise to 500,000 or more.
The incentive was much greater than that of most other opportunities.
This kind of chance didn’t co by every year. If it really happened, she wouldn’t mind not just sitting next to him but also accepting whatever ensued.
Moreover, leaving other aspects aside, even if there were no entanglents of interest, just to have sothing wonderful happen with the man before her—the most handso and exciting she had ever t in her life—she was—willingly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she stealthily admired Lide’s perfect profile as he looked down at the floor plan. His every move exuded charm beyond resistance.
At this mont, the girl’s feet tensed slightly; she unconsciously pressed her knees together, smoothing out her black skirt and quietly shifting her legs closer.
Lide sensed the girl next to him breathing sowhat more rapidly and turned his head slightly to see the blush on her pretty face; his expression was a bit strange.
Since he left the house, nearly every girl he passed would take a few extra glances at him, but none were as direct and blatant as this one.
Those long legs in black stockings seed to touch his legs unwittingly.
Feeling the unusual touch, Lide coughed lightly and stood up, a flawless smile on his face.
“Miss Wang, my assistant is already on her way. I am quite satisfied with this villa, and my assistant will confirm the relevant information with you.
If all goes well, I plan to purchase it.”
He had already thoroughly reviewed the villa’s details online before coming, with the virtual house viewing allowing him to know even the count of tiles in the bathroom.
Even before he arrived, he had decided whether to buy or not, and his visit was just for further confirmation.
As for the girl, looking at her eyes almost dripping with excitent, Lide shook his head. It seed if he wished, a simple dinner and a movie tonight would be enough for an easy victory.
“Mr. Li, you…”
Just as the excited girl in front of him was about to say a few words of thanks, a middle-aged lady with black-fra glasses accompanied by a round-faced girl in a suit entered the room.
“Mr. Li~” Cheng Lu, the assistant Zhao Yue had found for him, greeted Lide with a smile.
Seeing his slightly chubby assistant, Lide gave a slight smile, “Assistant Cheng, thank you for your efforts.
I have decided to purchase this villa, please coordinate the details with Miss Wang.”
A command from his boss was naturally uncontested, and the role of a personal assistant also essentially acted as a steward.
“Yes, Mr. Li.
Should the funds co from the company account or…”
If the funds went through the company account, the house would be in the na of Crimson Moon. In na, it would be company property, but since the entire company was Lide’s, the difference was there, but it was essentially not substantial.
“No need, I still have so funds in my account, enough for this.”
Lide shook his head, there were still 500 million in his account, a sum he had exchanged before the beta test closed, just in case. He simply hadn’t transferred it to the company yet.
Now he was truly a tycoon, and not just on paper.
Among the more than three thousand listed companies on the A-share market, less than half made a profit that exceeded 500 million a year; money in this world wasn’t as inflated as in the movies.
“Yes, Mr. Li.”
After discussing the house purchase issue, Lide suddenly rembered sothing and felt a bit embarrassed.
“How has Crimson Moon been doing lately?”
He had invested several billion in the company and hadn’t checked in for over a month, leaving everything to Zhao Yue and her managent team.
It seed a bit cold-hearted.
Seeing Lide’s expression, Cheng Lu smiled, finding a boss like Lide quite rare.
Even if he didn’t care, not checking in for a month seed extre. It was as if his investnt of several billion was just child’s play and not even on his radar.
“Mr. Zhao has been advancing the company’s projects steadily according to your will. The staff of the three main departnts combined has already exceeded a thousand,
Mr. Zhao has also invested fifty million in the data analysis center for the second phase of construction, which is expected to be completed in two months, just in ti for the launch of ‘Glory’.”
Hearing this, Lide nodded, “Alright, I’ll leave this to you to handle, I’m going to the company right now.”
“Yes, Mr. Li.”
After he finished speaking, Lide turned and left, heading to the roadside where the stunningly beautiful saleswoman, with her perfect looks and figure, imdiately jogged out to see him off.
Tap tap tap~
Even ordinary high heels seed to have a different vibe under those long legs.
“Mr. Li, may I add you on WeChat? Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you; I just want to send you so information regarding the villa and the surrounding shopping district…”
She finished speaking and blinked her large eyes at him, seemingly in all earnestness.
Watching the 1.75-ter-tall girl in front of him dressed in black tights, Lide couldn’t help but laugh.
Such a girl would surely be considered a goddess in the eyes of most people.
Beep beep~
The self-driving taxi behind him had already honked its horn.
“Okay.”
Lide let out a small smile.
It was a good excuse. In the past, he used the sa tactic to ask for WeChat from female clients… Unfortunately, since parting with the 996 lifestyle, those opportunities were gone.
After Lide left in the taxi, the saleswoman, who had shown such grace, revealed a radiant smile and eagerly opened up Lide’s WeChat Monts to ticulously check each post.
The easiest way to learn about soone was to look through their Monts…
Lide, of course, was unaware of her actions, comfortably leaning back in the seat of the driverless taxi after confirming the address with the intelligent system.
He had no plans to buy a car; he had been too poor before, and now he hardly needed one. If he entered Glory, he’d be gone for months, and a car would just sit in a warehouse collecting dust. Plus, with transportation so developed now, calling for an autonomous taxi was instant and more convenient than hiring a driver.
He casually took out his phone to log onto the ‘Glory’ forum to check if there was any new gossip.
After such a long ti, he wondered what ridiculous things those silly players had posted.
As he went on the browser, a pop-up news headline caught his attention and slowed him down.
Two n partnered to create counterfeit bills, investing 200,000 RMB to buy equipnt, only to produce 180,000 RMB in counterfeit money, incurring a loss of 20,000 RMB. Caught in regret at the ti of their arrest, lanting the difficulty of starting a business…
Lide paused, swiped reflexively, and the next news story appeared.
A man ard with a kitchen knife tried to rob a bank, only to have the cashier laugh at him from behind bulletproof glass until a janitor subdued him with a mop…
His mouth twitched severely, refusing to give up, he scrolled down to another story.
A couple fantasized about winning a five million RMB lottery before bedti, then actually won but ended up fighting over the division of the money…
After reading a few of these ridiculous news stories, Lide contemplated deeply.
Damn it, if anyone says again that characters in movies and novels don’t have brains, I’ll have a word with them.
This is all based on real characters…
Robbing a bank with a kitchen knife, losing money on fake bills…
Indeed, reality is the most magical world.
And it only got more exciting from there.
A man beca so addicted to video gas while burglarizing a ho that he was caught only when the hoowner returned and reminded him of his original intent to steal….
Two strangers on a train got into a fistfight after arguing over who knew more about Northeastern rice….
A woman attempted suicide by jumping into a river but, being a swimr, ended up swimming and crying at the sa ti…
A woman who rented a room with an online friend was robbed by him, leaving her no choice but to seek help from her own husband…
It wasn’t until the taxi alerted Lide that he had arrived at his destination that he snapped back to reality, glancing at his phone, he realized that he had been distracted by such performative, absurd news stories for the past half-hour.
He had even forgotten to check the “Glory” forum – those foolish netizens were a weak force compared to these truly ridiculous news stories.
“Sillyness is truly contagious… but I have to say, these ridiculous news stories are quite entertaining – truly enticing.”
After savoring the taste, he finally put his phone away.
Shaking his head clear of those silly tales.
His expression returned to normal.
Upon exiting the taxi, he walked into the industrial park and, standing beneath the building, looked up at the characters “Crimson Moon” with a slight sense of realization.
Every ti he spent a long period imrsed in “Glory,” it made him feel as if that world was where he truly belonged…
Earth seed more like a dream world.
He took a deep breath, his deep eyes calming down, and then stepped into the company that belonged to him.
Although Lide was the biggest boss, due to infrequent visits, he was a rare sight to many employees, with most never having seen him.
It was only in “Crimson Moon” that a select few employees greeted him, and most of them were girls.
With “Crimson Moon” recently expanding its hiring, those new employees who saw the old staff greeting him beca very curious about this big boss.
Especially the girls, who, upon seeing Lide with his almost maxed-out super-high attractiveness, imdiately had their eyes light up.
After Lide left, many started discussing him frantically, with topics ranging from, “Ahhh, why is our boss so handso, does he have a girlfriend? No? Maybe he likes guys, how exciting… I really want to join their ga.”
This made the male employees, who were outright ignored, wear unhappy expressions, muttering resentfully about how these worldly won didn’t appreciate a man with potential.
What’s so good about that jerk? Is he just taller, more handso, and richer? Besides that, what else does he have??
Hmm, what else??
Hmph, superficial.
At this mont, Lide had already taken the elevator to the top floor.
With his graceful walk, handso look, appropriate dress, and noble deanor, he was the focus of many employees, especially the starry-eyed female staff mbers, as he approached Zhao Yue’s office.
Thump, thump, thump~
Even though he was the boss, knocking was a necessary mark of politeness and refinent.
“Co in,”
Hearing the voice, Lide then turned the doorknob.
Click, click.
Huh?
Feeling the immovable doorknob, Lide grew a tad skeptical.
“Wait, the lock is broken, I’ll open it…”
The voice inside had just finished speaking, and Lide exerted a slight force with his wrist. His body, which had undergone transformation, possessed a strength so great that even he had not yet realized it.
Click, bang! With a loud noise, he forcefully broke the lock.
Just then, Zhao Yue, who was trying to open the door, lost her balance when her force suddenly found no resistance due to the broken door latch, causing her high-heeled fra to beco unsteady in an instant.
“Ah!!”
The second after Lide had twisted the lock completely, he felt a figure in a fiery red suit scream and lunge toward him.
Unable to dodge in ti, he was fully embraced in a fragrant hold.
Sss~
Lide’s first thought was…
Soft…
Tender…
Is this what a young matron feels like?
I truly am…
