There's a surprise at the end of Chapter 46 (3000 words)
"I think I need to find a place to take a shower first. I'm covered in sweat and feel terrible..."
Yuan Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead, paid the five copper coins entrance fee, and dragged his weary body into the city...
"Aside from the streets being a bit wider, this place isn't much different from the rural town I lived in before I transmigrated."
"What more do you want? Cultivation is possible in this world, but is it possible in the mortal realm?"
With so many people around, Feisheng deliberately hid himself.
"Nuclear bombs exist in the world today."
Yuan Hua looked up at the tall tower in the center of the city and examined it carefully.
"In this world, anyone can become a nuclear bomb if they work hard enough."
Feisheng gave a cold laugh.
Even ordinary people without magical talent can achieve remarkable success as long as they dedicate themselves to mastering combat skills for decades.
Do you think everyone has that kind of patience?
Looking around, Yuan Hua saw that most of the people were ordinary people who were not doing anything worthwhile. He had been here for more than a day or two and had a general understanding of this world. Combat skills were mostly in the hands of nobles, or could only be learned and exchanged from academies or guilds.
Needless to say, the nature of nobles is beyond question. There is no such thing as a short-term worker. Once you go in, you're a beast of burden for life. Good people can't rise to the ranks of the great nobles. They generally don't have many combat skills, which are mostly passed down in their families and are never passed on to outsiders. Serving such nobles might at most mean better pay and more freedom to leave.
For academies, tuition fees are a barrier that ordinary people cannot afford, unless you have extraordinary talent and also encounter a mentor who values you.
Guilds are the simplest way to become stronger; you reap what you sow, much like working in a factory in another world.
There are no such things as serendipitous encounters. Westerners tend to be more selfish and don't believe in leaving behind any legacy after death. They either leave it to their descendants or let it rot in the ground with them.
Rumor?
You wish!
"Do you know how many people in this town are worth a nuclear bomb?"
The sound of ascension carried a hint of playfulness.
"I sensed two in this tiny town."
"Does every town have it?"
Yuan Hua frowned slightly.
"It's a coincidence. While it's not like nuclear bombs are scattered everywhere, their numbers are definitely not small. Two nuclear bombs together are indeed a bit too concentrated."
Feisheng's tone carried a hint of caution.
"In short, avoid causing trouble for a while, and it's best not to get targeted. You can't handle that thing right now."
"No, isn't there anything that can save my life?"
Yuan Hua was speechless...
"Yes, I've accumulated a lot of energy recently. If necessary, a humanoid Doraemon and a melee summoner can appear at any time, but only for two and a half minutes, because they're too powerful."
"Is it reliable?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Yuan Hua's eyes...
"Reliable, absolutely reliable."
You're happy to have ascended to heaven, and you still have the nerve to look down on them? It's already a favor that they don't look down on you for making money.
"Give way! Give way!"
A girl's voice called from ahead, and Yuan Hua immediately perked up.
For no particular reason, it's just that the Forbidden App sent a notification that a suitable target has been found, most likely the one who was loudly calling out earlier.
"Save them or not?"
Yuan Hua frowned and slipped into the alley.
The label "cautious" has never been removed from Yuan Hua's resume.
"What? Aren't you going to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"
Feisheng was very satisfied with Yuan Hua's performance.
"Heroes who save damsels in distress come at a price."
Yuan Hua looked at the chasing crowd and roughly counted their numbers...
"There were about twenty people wearing armor. Obviously, I ran into a C-rank noble as soon as I left the starting village."
Yuan Hua felt somewhat helpless; this damned jinx of his was...
"Let's catch up."
Yuan Hua casually waved his hand, and a black trench coat was draped over his shoulders. He then put on a white mask that made him laugh and cry. "From now on, I'm called Nicholas Sixth Brother."
……
"It's over, it's over, there's no escaping now, damn it..."
Gran's eyelids grew heavy, and he felt listless. It seemed that someone had tampered with the desserts he had just sampled.
"Second Miss, please come back with us. The Baron has given the order that you must be taken back."
The lead guard slowed his pace and walked toward Gran.
"Brah, I've been quite considerate of you in the family, haven't I? Your position was promoted by my sister. This time, just pretend you didn't see me and let me go, okay?"
Grant couldn't take it anymore and had no choice but to play the emotional card.
"..."
Bra's face was furrowed with worry...
"Second Miss, here's the problem: the order to arrest you was given by the Eldest Miss."
"How could that be? My sister and I are very close!"
Gran's eyes were filled with shock...
"She said she would marry you to the son of a marquis, and the next hereditary marquis. This is a good thing for you. At least you can rest easy for the rest of your life, Miss."
Bra sighed helplessly.
"The eldest young lady has always been strict with us, second young lady, please don't make things difficult for us."
"..."
Gran turned and ran into the woods. If she didn't grit her teeth and run a few more steps, she would really have no choice but to accept her fate.
"Isn't there any hero who can save me?!"
"There are no heroes, but there is a vengeful ghost seeking death."
Yuan Hua jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Gran, blocking Gran's path.
"!!!"
Gran stumbled and fell headfirst into Yuan Hua's arms...
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Don't scream."
Yuan Hua frowned, and Gran froze instantly...
"You're here to arrest me too?"
Despair filled Gran's eyes...
"Hmm... not interested, you're too ugly."
Yuan Hua pinched Gran's cheek.
Actually, Gran isn't ugly at all; Yuan Hua was just teasing her.
"I'm not ugly!"
Grant's face turned green with anger. What kind of taste did he have...?
"Let go of the Second Miss!"
When Bula saw the two of them sticking together so close without any regard for each other, his face turned ashen. If the young lady or the marquis found out, he would be skinned alive.
It is not uncommon for ordinary people without power or background to be used as punching bags by nobles.
"Who do you think you are, to dare yell at me like that?"
Yuan Hua turned to look at Bula, a faint wisp of black smoke rising from the corner of his eye...
Thanks to Tulip and Hannah's tireless efforts, Yuan Hua has come very close to becoming a third-tier Abyss Demolitionist (equivalent to the peak of a lower-level mage). His combat power is now vastly different from before. Although his cultivation level is temporarily stuck, he has gained more skills.
Class: Abyss Demolitionist
Combat strength: Tier 2 Demolitionist
Characteristics: Burns
Skills: Explosive Missile, Whip, Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, Plant Bomb
Okay, it's not much, but it's still better than the initial lone explosive missile.
"Dark magician!"
Bra was startled and cautiously took two steps back!
"A dark mage? What's that?"
A black orb of light appeared in Yuan Hua's hand. This thing was like a humidifier, constantly emitting black smoke that accumulated on the ground, gathering but not dissipating, and the grove was instantly filled with black smog...
Be careful, if anyone smokes a cigarette here, this place will be turned into a wasteland in an instant.
"careful!"
Bula stretched out his hand to shield the group of brothers behind him...
"Don't worry, this stuff is harmless."
