I logged into Mr. Zombie

Small Western-style building.

Gong Ruomei stood quietly in the hall, surrounded by the ladies and young women of the Tan family.

"The girl is so cute."

"Yes, I wish I could have one."

"Little sister, the little flower in your hair is so pretty."

They all wanted to have a child with Tan Wenjie, but none of them succeeded. It wasn't that Tan Wenjie had a problem with his fertility, nor that he deliberately suppressed it, but rather that the difference in their life levels was too great, making it difficult to bring about a new life.

Among them, those who can cultivate, like Caiyi, still have confidence that as their cultivation level improves, they can increase their chances of conceiving. However, ordinary people like Ren Tingting can only leave it to fate.

Tan Wenjie had just taken a shower when he noticed a group of people surrounding the little girl who appeared to be a passerby. He couldn't help but wonder, "Who is this?"

Everyone: "..."

"Master, isn't this the little girl you brought back?"

"Wait until dawn tomorrow, then have someone send her back."

He still suspects that Gong Yutian abandoned his own daughter just to escape; if it were anyone else who encountered that group of Japanese, they would have been shot on the spot.

No one objected, but it was clear that Tam Man Kit seemed to have little interest in raising children.

The next day, the sounds of practicing boxing, "Hey!" and "Ha!" could be heard coming from the courtyard.

Tan Wenjie yawned as he entered the courtyard and saw the little girl practicing her boxing routine meticulously.

These are all basic skills; I'm not afraid of anyone stealing them.

However, the young girl, Gong Ruomei, stopped what she was doing after noticing his arrival.

"Practicing palm techniques?" Tan Wenjie asked casually.

"Baguazhang," the little girl replied, her eyes filled with pride in her family's palm technique.

"I'm not very good at palm techniques," Tan Wenjie nodded slightly.

His stats panel shows that his palm strike damage is only at the "+5" level.

Hearing him say that, the little girl actually struck a pose and performed a set of Baguazhang. Her movements were fluid and graceful, but due to her small size, she was unable to bring out the agility and sharpness of the palm technique.

The big-headed little figure practices its skills meticulously, which looks rather cute.

Tan Wenjie watched for a while before trying to imitate the movements. At first, his movements were a bit clumsy, but he got faster and faster, and his voice was filled with sharp, booming sounds.

As for the voice in his mind constantly reminding him of the Bagua Palm level increase, he completely ignored it.

With his extremely high level of skill, he had long since reached the point where he could understand everything at a glance and even predict the future limits of all martial arts moves.

Gong Ruomei, who had previously thought Tan Wenjie was somewhat arrogant for actually learning Baguazhang from her, now had a tense expression. She stood not far from Tan Wenjie, but felt like a small boat adrift on the sea, with raging waves and the possibility of capsizing at any moment and falling into an endless abyss.

"This is... the Sixty-Four Hands?" The little girl's eyes widened in shock.

What shocked her even more was that her own father was far from reaching such a level of power and influence.

Tan Wenjie stopped, his face not flushed and his breath not out, as if he had just casually stretched.

"Hmm, as expected of Baguazhang. I've learned your Baguazhang, so I'll teach you a set of palm techniques too." He pondered, "Dry Wood and Raging Fire Palm? No, too adult! Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? Too masculine! Five Thunder Palm? That's magic, you don't have the talent for it."

Little girl: "..."

What kind of exaggerated names are these? She'd never even heard of them before; the man in front of her must have made them up.

"Hey, how about I teach you a simplified version of the Tathagata Palm?"

The Tathagata Palm technique he used himself had undergone numerous iterations and evolutions. Even the most basic palm strike required 500 stamina points, which was beyond the capabilities of a human.

His simplified version is different. While dismantling a mountain might be difficult, dismantling a house is definitely no problem. Cultivation is also simpler and it even helps with the growth of internal strength.

The little girl remained motionless, clearly looking down on the so-called Tathagata Palm.

"Come on, learn from me. First like this, then like this. Your waist needs to be very strong."

Tan Wenjie had already started practicing on his own. He felt a great sense of accomplishment from freely modifying the martial arts. Moreover, the weakest people he had ever instructed before were those with rare talents, and this was the first time he had taught an ordinary little girl like Gong Ruomei.

Seeing his simple and slow movements, with at most a few so-called Buddha gestures, Gong Ruomei thought he was just fooling around. If it was Tai Chi, it was too slow; if it was dancing and singing, it wasn't beautiful enough. In short, he was dawdling and had no technique whatsoever.

But because of her silly antics, she joined in, just to keep the adults company.

The whole set of movements is very simple and easy to remember, except for a few gestures that are a bit complicated. But after trying it more than a dozen times, she was able to memorize and perform the whole set of "Buddha's Palm" skillfully.

Gong Ruomei slapped forward with her palm, causing the leaves in front of her to sway gently.

There were also occasional rustling sounds.

Could there really be a Tathagata Palm?

Before she could even express her surprise, she heard someone outside complaining, "What a strong gust of wind! My red underwear was blown away!"

Immediately afterwards, someone roared, "You damn rabbit, get away from me!"

Gong Ruomei: "..."

It was just the wind. I thought that strange palm technique was really effective.

When she turned around, she could only see Tan Wenjie's back, along with his voice: "If you have nothing to do, you can practice this palm technique. Once you learn my moves, you'll be invincible. You won't have to be afraid of pistols or cannons."

Only a fool would use martial arts to fight guns and cannons; I don't believe you.

She quietly stuck out her tongue, and quickly regained her composure when Tan Wenjie turned to look back, as if nothing had happened.

In the afternoon, Gong Yutian arrived hastily with Zhang Dadan's introduction. After thanking him repeatedly, he left in a hurry with his daughter.

……

The carriage passed through the stone path and stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

Tan Wenjie lifted the carriage curtain and got out, looking at the meager plot of land in front of him.

The man who led the way said, "Boss Tan, this is it."

"Watermelons the size of horse-drawn carriages are growing here?" Tan Wenjie looked around but didn't see anything unusual.

He squatted down and scratched the mud on the ground. It contained many pieces of sand and gravel, and this kind of land was completely unsuitable for cultivation.

"Of course!"

Who owns this place?

"I'll go find it for you!" the man turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chen Daxia, Daxia! Your luck has come! Come out now!"

It was quiet all around.

The man was about to kick open the door and rush in to call for help.

"Wait!" Tan Wenjie suddenly said.

"What's wrong, Mr. Tan?"

Tan Wenjie shook his head slightly, then turned to look in the direction of the dilapidated house.

A head popped out from the ground, looking around furtively. Upon noticing Tan Wenjie's gaze, the person immediately ducked, but it was too late.

"call out--"

With a light tap of his toes, Tan Wenjie sent a pebble flying, which landed precisely on the forehead of that head.

He looked like a radish, pulled out of the ground along with the mud, and squatted down on the ground.

"Ouch!"

"Eighth Brother, are you alright?"

Four oddly shaped people rushed out, surrounding the strange man with a large bump on his forehead and asking with concern, "Have you seen Chen Daxia and his wife?" The man who had led the way immediately went over and asked.

If things go wrong, not only will he lose his reward, but he'll probably also be punished, so he's working exceptionally hard.

One of the men, who looked almost exactly like Leonardo da Vinci, asked, "Are you looking for our parents?"

Tan Wenjie clenched his fists; it had been a long time since he had felt such an urgent urge to beat someone up.

"When did they have five children as old as you?" the man leading the way asked in confusion, but still said, "If you know where they are, tell me quickly. To be honest, this is Boss Tan. As long as you do things for him, you will definitely get a good reward."

"Rich?" X5
Their eyes lit up when money was mentioned.

Tan Wenjie nodded: "The five of you look unusual; you must have some extraordinary abilities."

Upon closer observation, he discovered that the five people were emanating spiritual light from their foreheads, resembling humanoid clusters of light, suggesting that the giant fruits and vegetables were likely related to them.

“You have good eyesight.” Da Vinci Tang Sanzang took a step forward. “All five of us brothers are incredibly powerful. I am the Thousand-Mile Eye, able to see a thousand miles away.”

"I have super hearing; I can hear from very far away."

The one covering his head looked at Tan Wenjie with some fear and introduced himself: "I am the Earth-遁八 (Eight-Earth-遁八), I can burrow underground."

Then the largest and most ugly man said, "I am Big Mouth Nine. I have a big mouth and can eat a lot."

"I'm Shouting Ten." The last one was a little girl, "I, I, I'm very good at crying."

Her eyes were already brimming with tears as she spoke, and after she finished, tears streamed down her face like a burst water pipe.

Tan Wenjie: "..."

This circus-like lineup, along with character designs that resemble those of the Calabash Brothers, suggests that, if I'm not mistaken, they are one of the results of this world-level upgrade.

"What, you want to hire us to do things?"

"I'd like to have a talk with your parents. If your abilities are truly genuine, I'm willing to hire you at a high salary."

"High salary, how high a salary?"

"It's higher than you can imagine."

"You wait, Eighth Brother, go and call Mom back!"

"Alright!" Dundi Ba responded, shrinking his head and disappearing into the soil.

Tan Wenjie fixed his gaze on Dundi Ba and found that the other party could burrow underground as easily as breathing, almost instinctively.

A moment later, a woman ran back. She didn't look at Tan Wenjie right away, but instead worriedly checked the strange-looking group of people before cautiously asking Tan Wenjie, "Sir, what brings you here?"

"Sister-in-law, here's what happened." The man who was leading Tan Wenjie stepped forward to explain the situation.

But after being glared at by Big Shrimp's wife, he obediently shut his mouth.

"You go first, I'll talk to Sister Shrimp," Tan Wenjie said, handing over the tip money casually.

The man immediately beamed, "Thank you for the generous gift, Mr. Tan. I wish you booming business and a long and healthy life. I'll be going now."

Only seven people remained in front of the dilapidated house.

“Your children have quite a few skills,” Tan Wenjie said. “I happen to know some of them too, and they are even similar to me. I want to trace their origins and see if they are reincarnations of some celestial child.”

Big Shrimp Sister hesitated.

Then Tan Wenjie's body slowly sank and disappeared underground.

"Earth-遁 (Earth-遁八)?" Earth-遁八 exclaimed in surprise.

I never expected that someone else would also know my specialty.

“Listen in that direction,” Tan Wenjie pointed east and said to Shunfeng'er, “There’s someone selling watermelons about eighty miles away.”

"I heard that!" exclaimed Shunfeng'er. "You have Shunfeng'er too?"

“And you too,” Tan Wenjie said to Da Kou Jiu, “I have a big appetite too, come and have an eating contest with me later.”

Da Kou Jiu: "There's such a good thing?"

Tan Wenjie's gaze shifted again, and the person being stared at stammered, "I...I can only cry?"

"I won't cry."

"And me? Do you also have clairvoyance?" Da Vinci Tang Sanzang asked. "I see... um, something, it looks like a sandbag is coming at me, ouch!"

The all-seeing Leonardo da Vinci Tang Sanzang, clutching his two black eyes, glared angrily at Tan Wenjie: "Why did you hit me?"

"I've put up with you for a long time."

Just as Big Shrimp's wife was about to get angry, Tan Wenjie punched Qianliyan's panda eyes twice more, and the panda eyes immediately returned to normal.

"It works even better than my little sister's tears!" the group exclaimed in shock. "It's like a miracle cure! What a powerful punch!"

"He really can do everything!"

Only the all-seeing eye: "..."

He suspected that the other party simply wanted to beat him up, and that showing off their abilities was just an excuse.

After witnessing Tan Wenjie's true abilities, Sister-in-law Da Xia's attitude changed, and she believed that Tan Wenjie must know the origins of these children.

"Whether my children want to go back to be fairy children is their own decision," said Shrimp Sister. "But my husband, Chen Shrimp, has been captured. Since you have such great abilities, can you help me rescue my husband?"

"Who took them away?"

"General Xu".

It turns out that not long ago, Chen Daxia and his wife discovered that their meager land was extraordinary. Planting money on it would grow into money trees, and planting fruits and vegetables would result in plants as big as horse-drawn carriages.

Out of sheer curiosity, they searched the ground and eventually found a bracelet with ten beads on it.

The family possessed a rare treasure, which soon attracted the attention of the local warlord, Commander Xu. He came to their door to forcibly seize it. In order to prevent the treasure from being taken away, Chen Daxia and his wife each swallowed five precious pearls.

Afterwards, Big Shrimp's wife escaped unscathed, but Big Shrimp Chen was arrested.

On the same night, Shrimp Sister gave birth to these five strangely shaped children who possessed extraordinary abilities.

Although she gave birth to the child herself, it only took her half a night to go from being heavily pregnant to giving birth, so she wasn't really that emotionally involved. If she could get her husband back, she would definitely be willing.

Tan Wenjie nodded in agreement, "Okay."

“I think we should plan our rescue efforts,” said Leonardo da Vinci, the all-seeing monk from Journey to the West.

"How do I get to the Marshal's Mansion?" Tan Wenjie asked.

Big Shrimp Sister: "Just keep going down this road, turn right, then turn left, and there'll be a big house, that's it... Wait, are you planning to just walk past like this?"

"Yes, I'm very busy," Tan Wenjie nodded.

The next moment, Tan Wenjie's figure disappeared.

The Marshal's Mansion.

Marshal Xu laughed heartily because he had unexpectedly gained five exceptionally talented "sons." Not only that, he also discovered that if he gathered all ten children together, they might be able to refine an elixir of immortality, which, if consumed, would grant them eternal life.

Just as I was thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared before my eyes.

"Who are you!"

He was met with a blazing light.

"boom!"

Flames shot skyward. (End of Chapter)
