Chapter 1 Sword Drawing Value
Chapter 1 Sword Drawing Value
"Hey buddy, do you want a husband?"
Ok? ? ?
In Chengdu, on the main street, Chen Ren once again refused a man who came to ask for his contact information, and turned around to give 100 of the only 200 yuan he had left to a homeless beggar on the street.
[Ding: Sword drawing skill +1.]
Sure enough, the cheat code is still there!
Chen Ren's eyes brightened slightly as he stared into his sea of consciousness, where a seemingly ordinary sword floated and sank.
【The Sword of Calamity】
[Sword Drawing Value: 93]
[Evolution Conditions: Not yet available]
[Restriction Requirement: Not yet available]
But then he came to his senses and had to start to doubt whether his decision to come here was the right one.
Chen Ren, formerly known as Chen Jianren, was handsome with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and was 180 cm tall! His eyes seemed to hold a hidden light.
The cheat ability is something you had in your past life; you can accumulate "sword-drawing points" by encountering hardships.
As just now, half of the family fortune was divided up, and 1 point was accumulated.
Once he has accumulated enough, he can unleash his full potential with his sword. He had drawn his sword in his previous life, but unfortunately, due to his unfamiliarity with it, he accidentally cut off a zero from his savings account.
MD.
This place is a parallel universe, where tycoons hold power and powerful families are entrenched. The worldview has long since deviated from its original direction due to the appearance of the ancient path and the emergence of cultivation and martial arts.
In this world, there are martial arts academies where one can practice martial arts, return to one's original nature after birth, and attain immortality.
There are Taoist academies that teach immortality by swallowing pills and absorbing qi, which can lead to longevity.
Some people also pile up fancy words and write articles that seem to fly to the heavens, but they cannot live forever and are gradually eliminated.
Originally, students could take the exam for free, and those who passed the test could enter various cultivation academies according to their preferences.
However, Chen Ren transmigrated a little too late, having just graduated and no longer being a student, so he had to find another way.
Unfortunately, he was told at a training academy in another city that he was not qualified and would not be admitted.
As for the Zen monastery, although the temple could accept it, it required Yuan people. Even after selling his house, he was still short about 60-70% of the money...
Fortunately, someone suggested that places like Qingyang Palace, Shangqing Palace, Tianshi Cave, and Laojun Pavilion in Chengdu advocate education for all and follow the natural way, which might give him a chance.
So Chen Ren, filled with ambition, decided to cultivate immortality.
But a small mishap occurred along the way...
On his way here, he "accidentally" ran into his first love, who was short of money for her startup and happened to be able to help her out.
Chen Ren had seen the profit calculation, which was done using AI, and it clearly showed that there was at least a 1-for-3 return.
Although she was from another world, he happened to be short of money, and besides, she was his first love, so he never thought he would be deceived.
Therefore, he deservedly suffered a brutal "pig butchering scam," and now he has not only been swindled out of everything, but has also become the legal representative of a company with huge debts.
A whopping 140 million! Damn woman!
Now, apart from the passersby who covet his good looks, Chen Ren has nothing.
They made it sound so good at the beginning: she had connections but lacked money; they would start a company together, providing a one-stop service for those who cultivate immortality or practice martial arts, and together they would grow a large and powerful business with a bright future...
Yes, his first love had a bright future, but he withered away.
"She must have had her reasons for doing this..."
Chen Ren tried to deceive himself, but he soon realized he couldn't.
"You son of a bitch, Su Rentong! I'll kill you if I ever see you again!"
He quickened his pace in a frantic rush, only to see several familiar faces around the corner ahead.
Chen Ren's face turned pale, and he immediately turned to turn around.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you for ages."
As soon as he heard the sound behind him, Chen Ren did not slow down; instead, he took off running!
"stop!"
The voices of the people behind him suddenly grew louder, and he could clearly hear the sound of their footsteps falling repeatedly as they got closer and closer!
He's about to be caught up.
Why are the floors in Chengdu so smooth? They're rough!
"Give me some more time, I will definitely find a way to pay you back, believe me!"
Chen Ren ran and shouted, but was kicked in the back and fell to the ground rolling around.
"Don't hit me in the face!"
He covered his face, and the next second their fists rained down like a torrential downpour!
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +1]
"Damn it, my phone notified me that you've been overdue for several days. You owe so much money, do you think you can just run away?"
The men, tired from beating him, stopped and surrounded him, taking the last hundred coins he had left.
"I'll give you three more days to figure out how to get your family to raise the money to pay it back. Otherwise, since you're so delicate, I'll send you to Chunxi Road. If business is good there, you should be able to pay it back."
"A man will do too?" Chen Ren's face instantly turned ugly, and he began to plan how to escape.
Now he is a person who has lost his credit record, and because he has no money, he cannot take a car to leave this place.
Three days? Even if you sold him, you couldn't pay back that money.
Hmm... no, that's not right either. Selling it should be enough to pay it back. I've heard this line of work is very lucrative.
What are you thinking about? Amy is not far away.
However, no matter how unlucky I am, my sword-drawing value keeps increasing, which is great news.
The Wang family is too powerful and influential. If he can't repay the money, he will really be sold into labor or divided up.
This world is not stable.
Now, if we want to survive, there is only one way to go.
Becoming a disciple of any sect or academy is the only way to save your life!
We've come full circle. How can one enter an academy for cultivating immortality and practicing martial arts?
Forget about Zen temples and monasteries; he has no Yuan now. He can only hope to try going to a Taoist temple instead.
Chen Ren had done his research; he heard that Lao Jun Ge was a quiet and peaceful place, and generally did not accept students, taking in very few each year.
Although there are many people at Qingyang Palace, it tests one's qualifications very well, and I might not be able to pass.
Shangqing Palace and Tianshi Cave were his top choices after careful consideration.
Moreover, they primarily consider the production date of each person when hiring; only those who meet the requirements are hired, and qualifications are secondary.
I must master the skill within these three days; those people are definitely watching me closely.
Chen Ren had no doubt that he had borrowed money from the Wang Group, a well-known conglomerate with unimaginable strength and influence.
It's possible that two out of the three people captured on the street surveillance footage belong to this group.
Otherwise, how would they have been able to find themselves?
In fact, Chen Ren was also very puzzled as to how he managed to borrow so much of his Black Moonlight.
"Even if I accumulate enough sword-drawing points, I can only cut the debt of 14 million to 140 at most."
Chen Ren muttered to himself, 14, that's an astronomical figure, enough to crush an adult.
But his life should be saved. He wouldn't really sell himself for 14, would he?
Chen Ren felt that this cheat wasn't actually that powerful. In his previous life, he had paid a heavy price and only managed to draw his sword twice.
One time was an experiment where I cut off my own savings; the other time I only wanted to cut off unwanted romantic advances, but because I was not skilled enough, I ended up cutting off all my romantic opportunities.
Chen Ren was widowed for a long time.
He sighed sadly and checked his sword-drawing value.
After all this torment, especially after being tricked, the sword-drawing value accumulated very quickly, reaching 93/100.
Once you accumulate seven more points, you can reject seven men who try to flirt with you.
However... this world does allow for cultivation, so will the cheat system change the decadent state of his previous life and become useful?
He had a premonition that perhaps he was really about to take off.
Chen Ren straightened his clothes and closed his eyes to look inward again.
The Calamity Sword floated in his sea of consciousness; the true spirit that had once protected him had come to this world.
This sword has many wonderful uses, but many of them are locked, and he couldn't unlock them no matter what he tried in his previous life.
For example, the sword indicated that the material could be upgraded, but he had not yet found out what material was needed.
For example, drawing a sword can break through limitations, allowing one to unleash a sword strike that surpasses their current level and realm, but the conditions for breaking through limitations are unknown.
"Hey bro, can you add me on WeChat?"
This time it wasn't a man, it was a girl, and a very beautiful and lively one at that.
Looking at their clothes and accessories, which bore the name of Shangqing Palace, Chen Ren's eyes lit up slightly. They were exactly the targets he wanted to learn about!
But just as he was about to agree, he saw her companion pull the girl away.
"Forget it, this is Chengdu. Look at him, he clearly doesn't like girls."
The girl's expression faltered slightly upon hearing this, then she smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."
No?
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +2]
The sword-drawing value increased by two points, but it turns out that rejecting girls increases it by even more.
Chen Ren took a deep breath, his hand holding the phone frozen in mid-air.
Is he really gay in this outfit?
Chen Ren sighed, packed his things, and headed to Shangqing Palace.
Shangqing Palace is on Qingcheng Mountain, and it takes a long time to climb. He had run out of money and hadn't eaten for several meals just from traveling. He didn't know if he would suddenly die on the mountain.
If only I had ten yuan right now, I could buy a few steamed buns...
Fortunately, Chen Ren succeeded in the end. It's worth mentioning that his sword-drawing value increased by 3 points.
Shangqing Palace, located on Mount Qingcheng, was originally a Taoist temple dedicated to the Three Pure Ones. However, after the emergence of the concept of cultivating immortality, the Taoist priests in the temple began to secretly develop their own immortality.
They had always kept a low profile, but one day, the Great Xia government commissioned the Wang family to acquire the Taoist temple on the mountain, saying they wanted to turn it into an academy. The Shangqing Palace refused, so the Wang family patriarch tried to use force.
But on that very day, an old Taoist priest came out of the temple, waved his hand, and knocked the Wang family patriarch, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, down from the sky.
Only then did everyone realize that the Shangqing Palace was no longer someone to be trifled with.
