Weird, my gaming life

The night was as dark as ink, on the edge of the 18th district of the southern city.

The production base of Qin's Pharmaceutical was brightly lit, and huge exhaust fans emitted a deep hum, sending the fragrance of herbs into the cool air.

This place doesn't resemble a factory; it's more like a heavily guarded fortress.

Three unassuming black hovercars silently stopped in the shadows outside the base.

Inside the lead car, Amu closed his eyes to rest. His bulging muscles stretched his custom-made training uniform so much that it looked like a silent iron tower.

"Senior brother, they've already gone in."

Beside him, a young boy spoke in a low voice. He was one of Lin Yuan's second batch of personally taught disciples, named Tieshan, and as his name suggested, he was skilled in hard martial arts.

Amu opened his eyes, and his eyes, which had become calm and still after ten years of hardship, now revealed a hint of coldness.

"As instructed by the teacher, leave one person behind as a deterrent, and kill the rest. Let them know that not just anyone can touch the Qin family's things. I'll back you up."

"clear."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a piercing alarm sounded from inside the base, followed by a sudden explosion.

Tieshan led a group of martial arts disciples and quickly rushed out of the car. In a flash, the group had already covered dozens of meters. Their figures were like ghosts, landing silently, and their auras were connected.

The factory's No. 2 workshop was in complete disarray.

Dozens of thugs in black uniforms were wantonly destroying the production line, while a slick-haired, middle-aged manager stood with his hands on his hips, arrogantly giving orders.

"Smash it! Smash it all! Let's see what they have left to compete with us for market share!"

Beside him stood three men with a chilling aura, the air around them seeming gloomy and distorted.

The factory's security personnel were also disciples of the Qin family martial arts school, but faced with the three men's bizarre methods, they were quickly driven to the brink of death.

The force of their punches would vanish without a trace as soon as they got close to the three men, and instead a strange power would slowly erode their bodies, forcing them to constantly maintain their internal energy to resist.

"A bunch of muscle-bound brutes dare to be so insolent in front of the Master of Deception!" The middle-aged manager couldn't help but laugh smugly as he looked at the security guards who had been subdued in an instant.

However, before his laughter could even subside, a figure pounced on them silently from behind like a cheetah.

Tieshan, though arriving late, struck first, his palm like a knife, directly slicing towards the neck of a Ghost Master.

The sorcerer reacted extremely quickly, his body surging with black energy, forming a blurry shield.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the black aura shield shattered. Tie Shan's hand paused only slightly before slamming heavily onto the opponent's protective aura.

A terrifying power erupted, and the C-rank Ghost Master screamed as he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed into a metal can in the distance and immediately lost consciousness.

Before the release of the ghost realm, the body of the Ghost Master was not very strong, and in fact, it was often corrupted by the supernatural and was not as strong as a normal person.

Almost at the same time, the rest of the men that Tieshan brought also rushed in. They didn't use any fancy moves, just the simplest and most direct punches, kicks, and elbow strikes.

Each strike was infused with pure internal energy, and a faint white light emanated from his fists and feet.

"what!"

"My hand!"

Screams erupted one after another. Those genetically engineered warriors, who were originally strong and looked like formidable opponents, were like lambs to the slaughter in front of these first-rate martial artists whose moves were fierce and whose blows were as easy as hanging paintings.

In just a dozen breaths, everyone except the manager and two other ghost masters with grim faces lay motionless on the ground.

The middle-aged manager's smile froze. He looked at Tie Shan, who was walking towards him like the Grim Reaper, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What...what do you want? Let me tell you, my boss is the CEO of the Li Group!"

"Our Xinke Pharmaceutical has the Li family of Shangcheng District as our backer! You dare to touch me..."

Tieshan didn't waste any words with him. After confirming that he was the person in charge here, he grabbed his wrist and released his inner force.

"Snap!"

"ah--!"

The manager let out a bloodcurdling scream, his wrist dangling at an eerie angle.

"Go back and tell your boss this is the first warning."

Tieshan's voice was devoid of any emotion: "If there's a next time, it won't be your hand that gets broken, but his life."

After speaking, Tieshan gave a cold look at the two remaining Ghost Masters who were somewhat stiff.

They had witnessed the horrific state of their companions; the attack was silent and deadly.

As C-level Ghost Masters, this was the first time they had faced ordinary people with such a powerful and oppressive presence.

"So you're the legendary Ghost Masters, not as powerful as I imagined!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Tieshan's eyes; he had once encountered a master of demon-controlling techniques.

However, that person didn't care about the lives of ordinary people like them at all. He forcibly sacrificed the orphan with him and then left.

If he hadn't been hidden under the bed by the orphanage director, and if the sorcerer hadn't disregarded him as an insignificant ant, he wouldn't have acquired such martial arts skills.

Neither the powerful families nor the so-called demon tamers who claimed to be rebelling against them actually cared about the lives of ordinary people like them.

Now he could finally crush those who once looked down on him with the power that only ordinary people possessed, just as Tieshan was about to make his move.

Both Ghost Masters simultaneously revealed a mocking look in their eyes. This was the lowly commoner who had suddenly gained power, thinking that killing a Ghost Master who had not yet liberated the Ghost Realm would be the end of him.

Little did he know that by missing his initial opportunity to kill them, he would be at their mercy.

Two C-level defensive techniques erupted simultaneously, and the next moment a thick black aura spread out.

Seeing this, Tieshan was not afraid at all. A golden light burst from his body, illuminating the entire workshop.

A tall, indistinct figure emerged behind him, forming an incomparably sacred Dharma image.

"Even a mere ant dares to rebel!"

"Die! You inhuman, ghostly bastards, Vajra Subduer of Demons!"

The next moment, a giant golden hand covered the two Ghost Masters who had released their Ghost Domains.

The two C-level Ghost Masters, who had just freed their Ghost Domains, had a fleeting look of disdain and smugness in their eyes that hadn't yet dissipated.

The next moment, an energy as hot as the sun poured down.

Then they were horrified to feel an intense physical compression. Before they could even let out a scream, they were smashed into a pulp.

The manager, whose arm had been snapped, shuddered at the sight. Was this guy even human?

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, far away at the martial arts school, couldn't help but smile.

The arrival of fifteen Yuan Points into his account sparked a meaningful glint in his eyes.

From the moment he began spreading martial arts, he had already figured out how to obtain the source of the strange things. Relying on him alone to kill the strange things would be far too inefficient.

The seeds he planted all carried some of his attributes.

The bizarre nature of their killings will ultimately be attributed to Lin Yuan, which is why he wants to expand his martial arts school to the lower city area.

Compared to the bizarre numbers, that place, outside the city, actually had more than the lower city.

Once the number and quality of martial artists in the lower city develop, he will obtain a continuous source of source points.

However, the amount of Source Points required to upgrade a martial art is simply too high now. For example, upgrading a Yellow-grade High-level Internal Energy Technique by one level requires 100 Source Points.

So even with so many disciples, his source points are still not enough.

Because the lowest level of cultivation techniques he is currently learning is the Yellow-grade low-level technique, his efforts over the years have already made his stats quite impressive.

Meanwhile, in the 18th district, inside a villa belonging to the Li family.

Li Xiao was sipping a cup of black tea, looking at the trembling CEO of the Li Group next to him.

"You're afraid of me!"

Li Xiao asked with a mocking expression.

"Uncle, how could that be? You're my own uncle!"

Speaking of which, our lineage also has the bloodline of a noble family, but because we were born out of wedlock, we were unable to inherit the strange lineage.

That's why he's been active in the central district. Now that my uncle is a B-level Ghost Master, he hasn't thought about returning to serve the family. With his current strength, he'll definitely be highly valued by the main family.

Li Xiao chuckled coldly.

"Go back, go back to be a slave to those servants. Put away your little schemes. I came back this time just to get you to get my adopted daughter a school admission certificate. Do you understand?"

The CEO of the Li Group nodded quickly.

"Uncle, I understand. After all, our Li Group mainly relies on your influence in the Ghost Master Association. I just don't understand why you would send your niece to Anbo Private Academy."

Li Tianming glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting quietly to the side, and then quickly looked away.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just do what I asked you to do. By the way, how are those Ghost Masters I arranged for you a few days ago?"

Li Xiao asked casually.

Li Tianming wiped the sweat from his forehead. Being with this uncle made him feel uneasy, as if he were about to be dissected at any moment.

"Uncle, they're only planning to move tonight."

Just as Li Tianming finished speaking, a disheveled man dragged in a crippled arm.

"Boss, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! They're all dead!"

The entire hall fell silent.

"What did you say? They're all dead!"

Li Tianming, disregarding his fear, immediately stood up in shock.

"Yes! There's something strange about those people from the Qin Group. I suspect..."

At this point, the middle-aged manager couldn't help but glance at Li Xiao, and only after Li Tianming gestured that he could speak did he tremble as he spoke.

"I suspect they also hired a sorcerer. One of them can emit golden light and summon a huge human figure. The sorcerer we sent was immediately smashed into mincemeat."

However, what he didn't notice was that the moment he finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting quietly beside him, showed a slight change in expression, but quickly returned to calm.

"She finally found him!"

Thinking about the school she was about to attend, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes shone even brighter.

Li Xiao, on the other side, also paused slightly.

The level of the Ghost Masters he sent out was not low; they were all C-rank, which was almost the same as his level ten years ago, in order to test the kid's strength.

But even so, he was still defeated in one move. Could that child have already become a Ghost Master comparable to a B-rank?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Su Xiaoxiao again.

It seems this plan can only rely on Su Xiaoxiao. He'd better not act rashly; it wouldn't be good if he were killed instead...
