New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 312 The Three Giants of the Yuan Family Make Their Debut as a Group
In the arena, energetic music suddenly started playing, and placard girls in sexy uniforms took to the stage first to warm up the atmosphere. The atmosphere gradually heated up, and more and more teenagers carrying wooden boxes selling alcohol and cigarettes appeared.

Yuan Zhu waved away a boy who tried to approach, watching Yuan Tang walk away under the protection of his younger brother, Jun. Then, through his agent's introduction, he began negotiating with a competition organizer with a mustache.

Although you can't hear what they're talking about, you can tell from the way they're pointing and picking at the five mixed-blood orcs that they're choosing their consorts tonight.

However, towards the end of the selection process, the man with the mustache's expression and eyes became strange, and he actually approached the fourth of the five mixed-race brothers.

Without a trace of fear, disgust, or aversion, it simply reached out and began to caress its chest as if appraising a precious artifact. Its eyes narrowed uncontrollably, almost forming peach blossom eyes.

"hiss--!"

Watching this scene from afar, Candle gasped and quickly moved closer to Frog Girl, taking a deep breath of her fragrance. It must be said, her meager elven bloodline still managed to impart a subtle, refreshing plant-based scent; she was truly a treasure.

Every movement in the distance not only made Yuan Zhu gasp for the fragrance, but also gave Yuan Tang and Yuan Tiao, the siblings from another world, a small shock from the "upper realm"!
The siblings had furrowed brows, which seemed strange, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.
The fourth orc, who had originally been carefree, confident in his own strength, and disdainful of his surroundings, even with a hint of provocation, was now retreating uncomfortably, keeping his distance from the man with the mustache.

The orc in question felt an inexplicable fear and avoidance towards this low-ranking official with the mustache, even avoiding eye contact. This tiny, weak human, who could be killed with a single stranglehold, how could he be so terrifying?

...

On the other side, with the agent's mediation, the competition rules seemed to have been finalized. The man with the mustache waved goodbye reluctantly, which made everyone inexplicably relieved.

On this side, Yuan Zhu ignored her and instead continued to approach Frog Girl, deciding to tease (bully) her, continuing the daily tug-of-war through 'micro-bullying', and raising her favorability in a negative way.

Especially after she put on the blindfold, the terror level plummeted, giving off a false sense of beauty that was like burying one's head in the sand. So Zhu Zi leaned closer, took a deep breath at her, and asked, "How are you adapting to this environment? For the next period of time, you will be going to different arenas in my place to handle the signing of the [Clam Medicine Group] sponsored fighting team."

At this moment, Nie Yin, who pretended to be indifferent on the outside but was actually very flustered inside, but the more flustered he was, the calmer he appeared. He followed Yuan Zhu and strolled around the arena, stiffly and coldly replying, "I, I can't negotiate!"

She was able to talk so freely with Yuan Zhu because during this limited time together, he broke through her personal safety distance without any sense of guilt or restraint, asking all sorts of domineering questions and forcibly issuing task orders without giving her any chance to object.

So, through rounds of repeated tug-of-war and proactive attacks, the usually reserved and passive frog girl found her comfort zone in being bullied and inexplicably began to cooperate skillfully.

Furthermore, Yuan Zhu signed the [Anti-Law Contract] with her at the very beginning of their meeting. This 'contamination law' that connects souls can subtly influence the user's attitude towards the [Anti-Law Master], making it easier for them to feel close to him.

After establishing the [Anti-Law], Yuan Zhu decisively revealed his [Tiger Demon Stance], interacting with the Frog Killer Girl in his true villainous form, which made her feel extremely happy and gave her a sense of belonging to the faction.

You get me involved in doing bad things, and my affection for you skyrockets.

Then continue to bully her, and her favorability towards you rebounds dramatically.

Having found the right way to interact with Frog Girl, Yuan Zhu was now able to communicate with her very easily. Nie Yin could now speak fluently and confidently in his presence, and even proactively make requests.

But when asked to interact with strangers other than Yuan Zhu, she instantly reverts to her autistic communication disorder. She can't communicate at all! Let alone negotiate.

Yuan Zhu: "You don't need to negotiate personally. Leave all these tasks to Xiao Tang. You're only responsible for the final signing. After all, she's too young. No matter how outstanding she is, she won't be recognized. You are the only person in charge."

Nie Yin remained silent for a while, then nodded: "I can give it a try."

After the warm-up rounds ended, the host, holding a microphone-like device, began introducing the contestants for the first match of the evening.

Below the arena, Neiyin, who had never been to such a lively place before, felt particularly uncomfortable. Wherever he went, he was on edge, highly alert, and filled with unease.

Yuan Zhu suggested she have a drink to relax, but she refused again. Only after the first group of contestants finished their introductions and the official duel began did the noise subside slightly, and Nie Yin began to relax a little.

But the surrounding environment quickly transformed into even louder shouts, curses, and cheers.

On the arena, there were two martial artists with a significant difference in physique. The intensity of their fight was not high, and their movements were not graceful, but rather primal and wild. After only a few rounds, the thinner one had his eye broken by a punch, and blood began to flow, splattering onto the gray-white floor.

Nie Yin, who initially felt uncomfortable, quickly relaxed after bleeding. His attention was gradually drawn back to the match.

She couldn't adapt to the crowded and noisy environment and felt helpless. But her innate love of watching fights and brawls quickly suppressed her negative emotions. In particular, the scenes of punches landing hard and the fights getting increasingly bloody provided her with a sense of peace and emotional support.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, she would have loved to kill a couple of frogs to liven things up!
Yuan Zhu, standing to the other side, also enjoyed watching fights. However, both of these fighters were only of average skill, not martial arts masters. He felt they lacked something more profound, their level of understanding was too low.

However, the audience responded enthusiastically, cheering continuously. After two rounds, the shorter opponent won the third round. Wiping the blood from his face, he raised his hands and roared at the crowd, earning a roar of applause.

……

Not long after, the 'Black-skinned Orc No. 1' sponsored by the [Clam Medicine Group] also successfully took to the stage. Its opponent was not an ordinary mortal martial artist either, but a black man with a fierce face and a huge Buddha head tattooed on his back with 'fat head, big ears, and eyes squinting into slits when he smiles'.

Hey! This is a battle between people of the same race!

The smiling Buddha behind that black guy, who knows where he came from? He looks incredibly sinister. At least in [Snake's] database, there's no Buddhist figure with so much fat on their face.

The other person had very dark skin. Although the tattoo lines were in other colors and it was a huge painted 'Buddha face', it was still somewhat obscure. Under the strong light, it still gave people a hazy feeling that was not easy to see.

Here, Yuan Zhu strongly advises people of Black descent not to get tattoos. It's like painting on a black canvas—it's painful for the viewer. Unless you use white paint.

As Zhu Zi carefully observed the contestant, he suddenly noticed that on the neck of the giant tattooed Buddha, where prayer beads were originally drawn, small, three-dimensional "Buddha cocoons" had risen up, startling him!
Holy crap! It's actually a Buddhist cocoon?! And so many of them, this is outrageous... Wait, it's a fake!

After secretly firing a "Detect Evil" at the black player, he realized that the "Buddha Head Cocoon" embedded under the opponent's skin was an ordinary handicraft that had grown naturally from the "incense pollution" near the temple.

This combination of 'pirated Buddhist cocoon' and 'tattoo' creates a faint 'Buddhist power,' granting the player a 'weak' supernatural enhancement at the physical level. Strictly speaking, this is a derivative of the 'Buddhist system,' but not part of 'Buddhism,' just like the 'Holy Knight Spirit' he cultivated and Yuan Tiao who practiced the 'Holy Light Qi Refining Technique.'

It can also utilize [Holy Light], but it does not belong to [Sanctuary], and has neither [Holy Marks] nor [Soul Crystals].

...

After the battle began, Yuan Zhu gradually calmed down and became undisturbed.

Initially, Number 1, named after [Clam Medicine], suffered from a lack of experience and was not used to the opponent's 'fat meat strategy'. The various greasy attacks made him unable to withstand them, so he was defeated one after another. However, the 'frog-type modification' brought unprecedented strength, resistance, and durability... Although he was constantly suffering setbacks, his health bar dropped very slowly.

After being beaten a series of times, the [Brain Eggplant CPU] on its head quickly collected and mastered the opponent's attack habits and patterns. Then, Yuan Tiao, who was watching the match closely from below the arena, simultaneously received the 'intelligence transmission', quickly analyzed the way to break the deadlock, and then loaded the temporarily written [countermeasure] to Number 1 through the [anti-law].

Then, as if injected with adrenaline, the hybrid orc roared and launched a desperate counterattack, tearing off his opponent's armpit hair, causing the opponent to scream in agony as he staggered backward. He then pressed forward, his fists landing with brutal force, until the black man of his own race was spitting blood, his eye sockets swollen high, his eyes narrowed to slits, and he was finally forced to admit defeat.

This match lacked prestige, but it was still helpful for the orcs who were working in isolation.

The biggest beneficiary was A-Tiao, who watched the entire match. The fighters who appeared on the stage today, regardless of their skill level, displayed a wide variety of moves, tactical concepts, and fighting styles, all of which broadened the horizons of his younger brother, who then rapidly improved by remotely controlling the orcs.

Meanwhile, in a corner on the other side of the field, Yuan Tang, with her deceptively cute appearance, quickly became friends with several female employees. She sweetly called them "Miss" and "Pretty Sister," while secretly asking them about the competition, rapidly figuring out the industry's unspoken rules and beginning her journey to becoming a competent "agent."

...

Tonight, Yuan Zhu's biggest achievement was successfully packaging and promoting his 'small team'.

This foreshadows the rise of [Frog Factory (six factories producing toad medicine)]. The taciturn Nie Yin provides endorsement, maintaining his aloof persona. Yuan Tang, on the other hand, is a 'child laborer relative' pushed forward by Yuan Zhu through connections, as he lacks capable people around him, so his distant cousin is pushed out to work as an agent at a young age.

The younger brother was even more low-key, only being given the role of a new bodyguard and coach.

In the future, when Yuan Zhu is not around, Nie Yin, the only 'adult' with the ability to sign, will have to take on the responsibilities of a guardian. He will seemingly take care of the two siblings, represent the [Clam Medicine Group] in dealing with underground boxing matches, be responsible for promoting the beastman fighting drama, and bargaining.

In reality, she was not capable of doing these tasks and had to delegate them to the untrusted younger sister.

In truth, Yuan Zhu would be perfectly at ease letting Yuan Tang work alone. However, he absolutely could not trust the organizers and other collaborators. Therefore, he had to reluctantly bring out 'Hanging Item. Nie Yin' as well, maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor to endorse Yuan Tang, so that she (Little Sister) could successfully dominate the battlefield.

As for the younger brother? He's an indispensable part as well. Two women, one older and one younger, look too weak and lacking in status. Beastmen aren't very bright, but the younger brother is calm and decisive, giving him a certain air of authority. Being by his sister's side provides both security and elevates her status.

Secondly, for orcs to compete, this "martial arts wisdom" role is indispensable. It requires gathering intelligence on-site throughout the match, devising impromptu battle plans for the team, and securing quick victories. In this regard, my younger brother is a qualified coach.

Although Nie Yin was useless throughout, her age was her biggest advantage! As long as she was there, acting as a decorative figure and projecting the aloof image of a female executive, she would be of maximum use. She could even use the orc contestants to advertise for the [Clam Medicine Group] and sell [Body Tempering Liquid] privately, thus finding a second sales channel besides [Rain Academy].

...

I spent a full three hours in the underground arena, watching Yuan Tang mingle with ease, calling the placard girl "sister" this and "sister, you're so pretty!" and the thug in charge of collecting bets saying "Big brother, hello! Big brother, tomorrow!" The more I looked at him, the more he seemed to be the kid of a high-ranking official in the event, who had come to the arena to join in the fun.

With this natural ease and confidence, she quickly struck up a conversation with the other contestants' agents, chatting animatedly about something. She even pulled out candy from her pocket and, as skillfully as if distributing cigarettes, started sharing it with them.

While keeping an eye on his older sister's safety, the younger brother also kept track of the performances of players whose skills were average but whose tactics were quite mind-blowing. Occasionally, he would even provide off-stage guidance to his 'own orc' when they went on stage.

Low-level instruction relies on shouting, while high-level tactics directly load the CPU through the [Anti-Law], instantly transforming the opponent and accurately grasping their fatal flaws. This is then complemented by a set of flashy, fancy, and inefficient finishing moves to create visual effects and draw cheers from the audience.

As his older sister thrived in the underground fighting scene, the younger brother gradually adapted to the rhythm of underground combat and began to familiarize himself with Running's fighting style. Through practice, he slowly mastered the 'acting skills' that Yuan Zhu had taught him, which he hadn't fully understood at first.

Well, Yuan Tiao, also a genius, quickly started to learn bad habits and adapt to lower levels. For the last orc to take the stage, number 4, he devised a high-octane finishing move that would ignite the atmosphere: the "violent crotch-lifting hand."

A desperate wail, piercing to the heavens, brought the atmosphere to its peak. The former manager suddenly appeared, praising them with a hint of congratulations: "These 'hybrids' you've trained are excellent, with enormous potential. Their fighting style and tactics are outstanding, even more so than the hybrids my brother raises. Would you sell them?"

After watching the final orc match, especially that extremely brutal, merciless, and decisive finishing move, the opponent exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "These orcs are truly of high quality; they really have the potential to become famous."

Yuan Zhu shook his head: "I won't make a move for now. First, they're not famous enough, so selling them now would be too cheap and a huge loss. Second, have you forgotten about the [Clam Medicine Group] behind me? These beastmen are 'living advertisements'; their enhancement and modification aren't finished yet, and we need to continue showcasing the product's effects."

Agent: "Actually, we can also try a different approach to cooperation. I'll act as your go-between, introducing you to higher-end venues and more influential people. And you, you provide these orcs, and we can all make money together."

Yuan Zhu thought about it and decided that sharing orcs wasn't a big problem. He didn't really care about the orcs' lives or affiliation; they were all [Anti-Law.Users], accumulating new debts every day.

Now, it's practically a giveaway. Someone will help them find jobs, allowing them to frequently perform and earn money to repay the "Anti-Law Favor Loan." They can also gain practical experience and collect data, which will accelerate the progress of the "Frog-type Modification." They can use this channel to open the door to the underground fighting circle, inherit the other party's connections, train Yuan Tang and his sister, and the beastmen can pay off their debts and gain freedom sooner... Except for Nie Yin being forced to stand still, it's a win-win situation, and no one loses out.

"How have you considered it?"

Yuan Zhu hesitated and said, "I'm very willing to cooperate, but there's one thing! You must ensure they have enough rest time and not overwork them by making them play matches beyond their capabilities, which would cause them to break down or become unusable. It doesn't matter if there are fewer short-term gains; I want to make money in the long run. Also, when the pharmaceutical company behind me needs them to undergo modifications, check their bodies, and collect data, you can't obstruct or refuse in any way, even if there are matches to play."

The agent nodded: "No problem, they are all very reasonable requests."

Yuan Zhu: "Then... you should also take care of my younger sister. Broaden her horizons and help her make more friends."

"The little girl is very bright and would be perfect for my line of work. It's just that her appearance makes her too easy to misunderstand."

Yuan Zhu: "That's simple. Just arrange for more 'orc bodyguards' to follow behind her, and people will naturally understand her status."
