Chapter – 02
Jiang Fu was awakened by a noisy commotion.
As soon as he opened his eyes,
he strained to hear what all the fuss was about outside the door.
But unfortunately,
his body was already too weak to the extreme.
His five senses seemed to have deteriorated.
He could only hear sounds, but could not make out the details.
“Could it be that cheap aunt stirring up trouble again?”
Jiang Fu raised his eyes slightly,
looking at the light screen hanging before him.
ăName: Jiang Fuă
ăGender: Maleă
ăAge: 18ă
ăLevel: 0ă
ăVitality Value: 5ă
ăLifespan: 7 daysă
ăAbility: Multiply by Ten (cannot be stacked)ă
ăAbility Usage Limit: Infiniteă
Jiang Fu was startled.
“Seven days of lifespan left… have I been asleep for three days?”
If it had been before,
he would have wished himself dead as soon as possible.
Die early and be reborn early.
But now,
Jiang Fu had the infinite ability to multiply by ten, which meant infinite possibilities.
And during the time he was unconscious,
Jiang Fu had more or less absorbed the original owner’s memories,
knowing exactly what kind of world he was now in.
In this world,
spiritual energy had revived, creatures had mutated, and monsters had invaded.
Humans, on the other hand, became warriors through cultivation, gaining combat power,
to fight against mutated creatures and invading monsters.
The original owner was a warrior,
and moreover, an eighteen-year-old warrior.
A few days ago,
the original owner had gone into the wild alone to help his cousin pick spirit fruits,
only to be surrounded by unknown creatures.
When he was rescued, he was practically dead…
No, he was already dead.
Jiang Fu had transmigrated here, barely managing to keep the last breath alive.
But now,
Jiang Fu could not hold on much longer,
with only seven more days to linger on.
But in the original owner’s memories, Jiang Fu saw many thingsâ
magical spirit fruits with all kinds of abilities, and various potions that extended lifespan and strengthened the body…
Jiang Fu licked the corner of his mouth.
“My multiply-by-ten ability is restricted by this lousy system, so it cannot be stacked.”
“However, the larger the base number multiplied by ten, the greater the gains…”
One multiplied by ten is ten.
Two multiplied by ten is twenty.
One hundred multiplied by ten is one thousand.
Now, what Jiang Fu had to do was to build up his foundation.
Before that, he could temporarily multiply by ten.
“Lifespan multiplied by ten, effective for three days!”
As soon as he spoke,
on the system panel,
the lifespan entry,
which had originally shown seven days, instantly became seventy days.
“Temporarily not dying… Hmm? No…”
The next moment,
Jiang Fu’s expression froze.
Lifespan had been multiplied by ten,
but his body was still extremely weak.
Apart from being able to turn his neck slightly, the rest of his body remained immobile.
“It’s not a lifespan issue.”
“It’s… vitality!”
Seeing his Vitality Value, which had dropped to only ‘5’,
Jiang Fu immediately realized.
In this world,
a healthy adult had a vitality value of about fifty to seventy.
Above seventy was a quasi-warrior.
When vitality exceeded one hundred, one became a warrior.
And a vitality value of five…
was no different from being dead.
“Vitality multiplied by ten, effective for three days!”
The next moment,
Jiang Fu’s vitality value instantly jumped from five to fifty.
With a vitality value of fifty,
he was a normal, healthy adult!
In an instant,
a long-lost sense of familiarity enveloped his whole body.
Jiang Fu carefully raised his hand.
“IâI can really move!”
Jiang Fu stared blankly at the raised arm,
with the IV drip still connected to it, delivering nutrients.
Just as Jiang Fu was in a dazeâ
*Bang!*
The door to the ward was suddenly shoved open with great force.
Accompanied by a piercing female voice, it slammed harshly into Jiang Fu’s ears.
“Jiang Fu! You’ve already turned eighteen!”
“You have nothing to do with our family anymore!”
“Don’t come to me for your hospitalization and medical expenses! I have no obligation to give you money!”
Ge Yanxia strode into the ward on her two thick, stubby legs.
Following behind her
were a nurse and a middle-aged man with a weathered face and somewhat dull eyes.
Jiang Fu looked at the plump woman in the black dress, a flash of disgust passing through his eyes.
The original owner’s parents were both warriors.
But when he was six years old, they both died in battle in the wild.
The original owner was then taken in by his uncle Guo Fangdong and aunt Ge Yanxia.
But this couple were far from good people.
They adopted the original owner for only one purposeâ
to inherit the legacy and pension left by the original owner’s parents.
The original owner grew up under various forms of psychological manipulation, scolding, and physical abuse from Ge Yanxia and Guo Fangdong.
Moreover,
after obtaining that generous inheritance and pension,
the Guo family had already become a well-known nouveau riche in District 9.
But the original owner lived in the family’s maid’s room.
Every day, as soon as he opened his eyes, there was endless work to do.
…And the Guo family’s main residence was still the original owner’s family’s property!
If it weren’t for the strict regulations of the Warrior Guild,
the original owner wouldn’t even have had the chance to study.
But even in such an environment,
the original owner still relied on the strong genes left by his parents
to break through a hundred vitality points at eighteen and become a warrior.
This time, the original owner had gone into the wilderness alone
to pick a type of spirit fruit called “Fog Ripple Fruit” for Guo Xiaofeng,
to supplement his vitality.
…
When the nurse saw Jiang Fu’s raised arm, her eyes immediately lit up.
She hurried forward to check the instruments in the ward.
“A miracle! It’s absolutely a miracle!”
“The patient’s vitality has recovered… and reached fifty!”
As she spoke,
the nurse quickly pressed the call bell by the bed.
Upon hearing this, the weathered middle-aged man’s dull eyes suddenly brightened.
He staggered forward, his face full of excitement.
“Your vitality has recovered!?”
Jiang Fu looked at the old man’s face and slightly parted his lips, “Teacher…”
This middle-aged man
was none other than Jiang Fu’s homeroom teacher, Xu Chi.
Xu Chi looked at Jiang Fu and said repeatedly, “It’s good that you’ve recovered, it’s good that you’ve recovered…”
Meanwhile, Ge Yanxia grabbed the nurse who was examining Jiang Fu,
and said in a trembling voice, “Wasn’t his vitality shattered? How did it recover?!”
The nurse explained patiently, “This matter requires further examination before we can reach a conclusion.”
“Right now, the patient’s vitality value is indeed fifty!”
Ge Yanxia frowned deeply.
Suddenly,
as if realizing something, she roared at Jiang Fu, “You ungrateful brat! You actually kept Xiaofeng’s Fog Ripple Fruit for yourself!”
“A first-tier Fog Ripple Fruit is worth one million!”
“If this ungrateful brat can’t come up with the money, then you’ll have to pay for it!”
Ge Yanxia turned herç头 (accusations) toward Xu Chi.
This time,
Jiang Fu had been transferred from the mortuary to a VIP ward,
and all the medical and hospitalization fees during this period
had been advanced by Xu Chi.
Hearing this, Xu Chi felt a surge of anger, “Ge Yanxia, don’t go too far!”
“That Fog Ripple Fruit was picked by Jiang Fu himselfâhow did it become yours!?”
Xu Chi also believed that Jiang Fu had recovered his vitality by eating the Fog Ripple Fruit,
because aside from that, there was no other explanation.
Fog Ripple Fruitâ
a first-tier spirit fruit.
Consuming it permanently increases vitality.
Ge Yanxia snorted, “I don’t care!”
“Putting the facts aside, isn’t this ungrateful brat still in the wrong? He already promised to give the Fog Ripple Fruit to our Xiaofeng!”
“Now that he’s eaten Xiaofeng’s Fog Ripple Fruit, he has to pay up!”
“You’re his homeroom teacher, so you’re the one paying!”
“One million, not a single cent less!”
Ge Yanxia’s voice was shrill and extremely penetrating.
Jiang Fu turned his head,
staring at this short, fat, and plump woman,
and softly muttered in a voice only he could hear:
“Blood pressure, multiply by ten.”
“Blood lipids, multiply by ten.”
“Blood sugar, multiply by ten.”
