Heroes Return

As the sound of a successful 30 yuan top-up rang out, the entire system in the room miraculously returned to normal. The building stopped shaking. The only unfortunate thing was that Xiao Zhan was accidentally struck by his own erectile dysfunction current, causing him to convulse.

At this moment, when everyone looked at the yellow cloth in Thirteen's hand, the words "light recharge" on it had turned into a scripture.

"Seriously, do you have to pay for a talisman like this to suppress bad luck?" The bespectacled man looked at Thirteen in shock.

"When the master gave it to me, he didn't mention that I had to recharge, but after a while, the recharge option appeared. Thinking about it carefully, that master was indeed a shrewd businessman," Thirteen said, frowning.

"Damn! What kind of world is this! Even talismans require payment!" The bespectacled man couldn't help but show a disdainful expression.

"You're wrong about that." At this moment, Xiao Zhan, who had been convulsing on the ground, suddenly stood up and said, "You guys don't understand! There was once a penguin-raising veteran who said something like this: In this era where cheaters are everywhere, how can you become stronger without spending money?"

"You've already been electrocuted, and you're still in the mood to talk about this? By the way, are you planning to learn from those big shots who constantly ask people to recharge their accounts?" Lin Jie said to Xiao Zhan, "By the way, how does it feel to be impotent right now?"

"It feels great, I don't even want to watch movies anymore. I feel like I have no desires anymore," Xiao Zhan said.

"Speaking of which, this scripture really does have the power to change one's luck! It seems that the incompetent master isn't as incompetent as he appears." Lin Jie carefully examined the scripture and said, "Speaking of which, you only recharged thirty yuan, is that really okay? Isn't that too little?"

"Don't worry, I've already found out the price. It's thirty yuan a month," Thirteen said to the crowd.

"Holy crap! A month of defying fate is only worth thirty yuan? Which high monk sold you this cloth?" Glasses exclaimed in shock. "The price for defying fate is far too low!"

"Master Wuneng seemed to be talking about something about small profits but quick turnover, and trying to win back customers and long-term users," Thirteen said. "By the way, I bought this talisman from Master Wuneng at Guanggun Temple."

"Guanggun Temple?" Upon hearing the name Guanggun Temple, the bespectacled man's expression turned strange. "You mean that crime-free zone in J City? Guanggun Temple, the headquarters of the FFF Group?"

“That’s right, it’s that Guanggun Temple.” Thirteen nodded and said, “Speaking of which, I heard from Master Wuneng that Master Bohu at Guanggun Temple might be able to solve my problem, so I plan to go and take a look.”

Hearing Thirteen's words, Lin Jie couldn't help but think of something annoying: "Hey Thirteen, you suddenly came back and came straight to us, it wasn't just to make us go to the Bachelor Temple with you, was it?"

"That's it! You've suddenly become so smart!" Thirteen nodded. "I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling this time, so I'm planning to ask you guys to come to the Singles' Temple with me."

"I'm not going!" the bespectacled guy suddenly declared righteously to Thirteen. "I'm not going! I'm planning to confess my feelings to Xiao Ye! So I absolutely refuse to go to that Bachelor Temple. It's the gathering place of the FFF group! If anyone finds out about me, I probably won't make it back alive!"

“I’m not going either,” Lin Jie added. “I’m not going. I’ve already run into enough idiots at the Bachelor Temple lately. I don’t want to go to that kind of place again.”

"That's such a pity." Thirteen smiled and looked at Lin Jie and the bespectacled man: "Since you two don't want to go, I won't force you, but I will follow you until you are willing to go."

"..."

That evening, at the dining table in Lin Jie's home.

"I'm going to J City tomorrow," Lin Jie said to his sisters.

"Brother, you've only been back for two days, why are you suddenly going to J City again?" Lin Wan asked curiously.

"Of course it's for my good brother Thirteen," Lin Jie said shamelessly. "Today, Thirteen came crying and begged me to go to J City with him. I felt so sorry for him, so I agreed. We're good brothers after all, so of course I want to help him out. Don't you agree?"

"That's great! I didn't expect you to make such a good friend, brother." Lin Wan said, "Unfortunately, I have a lot of work to do, and Mu Mu has to go to school. So I can't go with you."

"I'll go with you." Zhu Xian'er, wearing an apron, came out carrying a plate of food: "Come and try the stir-fried garlic shoots I learned to make today."

"You want to come with me? Let's not. I heard that's the headquarters of FFF. If I bring someone as pretty as you, it'll probably cause a lot of trouble." Lin Jie said, picking up a piece of food.

Lin Jie immediately felt a powerful sword intent, and then the food in his hand exploded! Even his chopsticks were destroyed!

"Why do you have to incorporate sword intent into your cooking?! Your dishes are practically explosives!" Lin Jie stared at Zhu Xian'er in shock.

"Hmph! Even if it's my cooking, I still have the courage to fight the enemy head-on. Even if I die, I shouldn't be afraid or be eaten!" Zhu Xian'er said with a cold snort.

"Food is meant to be eaten!"

third chapter

In J City, a robbery of an armored truck is taking place. A burly man, over three meters tall, punches an armored truck off the road. Another, relatively thin man then takes advantage of the situation and jumps onto the truck.

The man slashed the armored truck with his energy sword, and the door was cleaved open with a single blow. He then nimbly climbed into the truck.

At this moment, the police officers escorting the armored truck also got off the vehicle.

However, unlike the armed police in other places, these two officers showed absolutely no intention of stopping the two criminals. They simply watched as the two criminals stole the money from the car.

"Looks like we can leave work early, that's great!" one of the escort police officers said to his colleague.

"That's great! Let's go get some skewers later! It's been so long since we've had something this good," another person said happily.

Then, the two police officers watched as the two criminals slowly loaded the banknotes into their hoverbike and drove off into the distance.

Not only did the two escorting police officers react strangely, but even the pedestrians on the street didn't react at all when they saw what was happening. They just went about their business as usual.

Only a few people glanced at the two men with interest before going back to their own business. No one was willing to call the police or anything, not even the two armored truck officers themselves. They simply abandoned the armored truck on the side of the road and boarded a bus.

"Boss, isn't this going a little too smoothly for us? We haven't even seen a single policeman!" the burly man said, puzzled, as he rode his motorcycle.

"Hmph! What kind of forbidden zone is this? I don't see anything special about it! The whole city doesn't even have a decent cop or superhero. Yet outsiders make it sound so sinister! They even say that anyone who comes to J City never comes back! We brothers will commit a crime here and show them what's what. Hahaha!" The skinny man said, "After we pull off this heist in J City, we brothers will be famous."

"Want to make a name for yourself? You don't need to go through all that trouble of robbing a bank. All you need to do is top up your account."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" the skinny man asked, puzzled.

“Boss, I didn’t say anything. It was the guy on your right who said it,” the burly man said.

"Are you kidding me? We're going at top speed right now..." Before the man could finish speaking, he was shocked to see a bald man to his right. The man was smiling at him, and what shocked the skinny man the most was that the bald man was running at the same speed as the motorcycle.

"Are you a monk from the Bachelor Temple?" The skinny man looked at the bald man in front of him in surprise.

"This humble monk is a disciple of the 'Xu' generation at Guanggun Temple, and my Dharma name is Xufu. I'm here to promote Guanggun Temple's brand-new services to you," the bald man said.

"Hmph! Are you here to arrest us? Don't think you're so great just because you can run fast!" The skinny man didn't listen to what Xu Fu was saying at all. He took out a pistol and fired a shot at the monk in front of him.

But the next second, they were shocked to find that the monk had instantly moved to their left, and at the same time, the gun that the man had been holding had somehow ended up in the monk's hand. Before the man could make any further moves, the monk pressed the gun against the man's forehead.

"Count to three and stop the car immediately." The monk leered at the man.

"I'll stop! I'll stop!" The man immediately stopped his motorcycle after the gun was pointed at his head.

"You dare touch my boss! Believe me or not, I'll tear you to pieces!" The burly man also stopped his motorcycle and said to the monk.

"Let me tell you a secret, I actually don't know how to use this thing." The monk said, putting the energy gun in his hand into his robe.

"Are you fucking messing with me? Bro, get him!" The man glared angrily at the monk in front of him, clearly believing that the monk was playing a trick on him.

Just then, another monk suddenly jumped out from the side and kicked the burly man in the head. The three-meter-tall man was knocked to the ground by this simple flying kick. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, more than a dozen monks appeared around them.

The dozen or so monks, each holding a stool, surrounded the burly man and began beating him mercilessly. The man, who could normally break through armor plates, was now screaming in agony as he was pounded under the monks' stools.

“Now can we discuss a business deal?” the monk asked the man.

"What are you going to do?" The man looked at the vacant figure in shock.

……

A dozen minutes later, in a small alley, a dozen monks were squatting around two naked men.

"Tch! Two penniless bastards, their gear combined might only fetch a few thousand dollars on the black market." Xu Fu glared at the two stripped men, annoyed. "If you're so poor, don't go out and rob people! At least spend a few million on a decent set of gear!"

"Brother! If we had that money, we wouldn't have robbed you," the skinny man, stripped naked, said to the monks around him, whose eyes were gleaming with greed.

"No money and you still rob people? Are you kidding me? How much savings do you have? Transfer it to this account right now!" another monk said. "We've been wandering around this area for two weeks, and we finally ran into you guys. We have to squeeze as much money out of you as possible, otherwise it'll be a waste of our lunch money! Otherwise, let's sell their kidneys first! I think that guy is pretty strong, someone will definitely like his kidneys!"

Upon hearing the monk's words, the burly man couldn't help but shudder.

“Hypocritical junior brother! We are monks! Selling people’s kidneys all the time is just like committing a crime!” The monk named Xu Fu said, “Their penises are quite nice! I heard that they are quite popular in some areas. Why don’t we cut off their penises and sell them?”

"You're even more ruthless! How dare you call yourself a monk!" the skinny man said angrily to Xu Fu.

"It's because you're too poor! We've waited three weeks for your group, you should at least give us some money, right? Look, there are about ten of us here!" At this moment, a monk holding a tablet computer said, "How about this, transfer all your savings. We won't cut off your penises to sell."

Then, surrounded by a group of powerful monks, the two unfortunate robbers had no choice but to transfer all their savings into the monks' accounts.

"Only tens of thousands of yuan! You two are such failures as criminals." One of the monks looked at the amount of money and said with dissatisfaction, "This is far too little!"

"That's a bit too little!" the monk with the laptop said discontentedly. "How about we make another deal?"

"What kind of deal?" the skinny man asked the monks warily.

“We can let you go, but you still have to admit that you stole the money, how about that?” the monk said to the skinny man.

"Brother, what a brilliant plan! Now we can rightfully divide up all that money!" the other monks exclaimed happily upon hearing his plan.

At this point, the two robbers were completely dumbfounded! Weren't the monks of Guanggun Temple supposed to be righteous people who fight against evil and uphold justice? How come they're so adept at double-crossing each other? Now, it seems they not only failed to steal a single penny, but were also stripped naked and have to bear the charge of robbery.

"So? Do you agree or not?" a monk asked the two men.

"We agree! We agree!" Although reluctant, the skinny man couldn't care less at this point and could only nod repeatedly. Who knows what these monks might do next?

“Alright, it’s settled then!” a monk said.

But at that moment, all the monks suddenly felt a sharp pain in their genitals! Then they all bent over and fell down.

"You juniors are simply outrageous!" A dignified voice rang out: "You ignorant brats are infuriating! I can't believe you even dare to embezzle stolen goods! You're a disgrace to our Bachelor Temple!"

"It's the boring Uncle-Master!!!" The monks, who were covering their genitals, knew who it was the moment they heard the voice.

"Master! Actually..." Xu Fu immediately tried to say something. But the next second, a shoe sole kicked him away.

"Still want to talk back?" A monk who looked very young suddenly appeared in the middle of the monks.

"High monk!! Help! We will never rob again! Please let these monks leave us alone!" Seeing the dignified appearance of the Bored Master, the two robbers immediately realized that this was the only truly principled monk in the Guanggun Temple.

"Is the purpose of having you patrol the city to extort money from these poor people?" Master Bored said to the monks on the ground. "Look at the state you two have been in!"

“Master, we were wrong!” said the monk Xu Fu.

“How have I taught you all? You actually believe what these people say? What if they tell everyone about your embezzlement after they leave? What will happen to the reputation of Guanggun Temple? Brother Wuneng has already taken the blame three times this year. No one will believe him if he takes the blame again! Send the money back right now!” Master Wuliao shouted at the monks lying on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he mentioned the two robbers and they disappeared before the monks' eyes.

"Thank you, Master, for saving us! We brothers will never commit crimes again!" the skinny man said to the bored Master.

"No need to thank me. Monks shouldn't do such shameless things." Master Bored smiled and said to the two of them, "I heard that the combined bounty for the two of you is worth over ten thousand."

"..."

J City is known as a crime-free zone not because the Bachelor Temple there has ever demonstrated any great power. In fact, very few people have actually witnessed the Bachelor Temple in action.

But only every criminal who has been to J City knows that what makes the Bachelor Temple truly terrifying is that they are more like bandits than his actual bandits.

Chapter Four

On the highway outside J City, four people were running nonstop.

"Xiao Zhan, you son of a bitch! Explain yourself! Why are there such overpowered max-level monsters in your new game, **GO?! I knew I would never have played this game!" Lin Jie cursed at Xiao Zhan as he ran.

At that moment, he was holding a mobile phone, and through the phone's camera, he could see a huge monster chasing them frantically from behind.
