Chapter 4: Black Colored Fortune, Must Slowly Stomp to Death
Dead silence fell in the main hall.
Comparing ability to show off against me?
You're way to immature for that.
Gu Changge didn't say a word. He just lightly shook his head.
Clothes whiter than snow. Standing with his hands behind his back. His gaze deep and indifferent.
It was like he was staring down at an ant trying to act up.
Ye Chen knelt beneath him in an embarrassing state. His entire face was chalk white with unwillingness to accept the results. His entire body was soaked with sweat, unable to so much as lift his head.
Everyone watched this scene in shock.
For the people of the Taixuan Holy Land who had some understanding of Gu Changge, the shock in their minds were even greater than that of others.
After all, judging from his age, Gu Changge's abilities shouldn't be too different from that of the younger generation in the Taixuan Holy Land.
And yet, in reality, his true strength could match people on the same level as the Holy Master.
"Young master Gu is so young, and yet his cultivation is inestimable..."
At that moment, the Taixuan Holy Master was the first to offer praise.
At the same time, he took a glance at his daughter's slightly pale face.
He silently sighed.
If he knew beforehand, he would have crippled and expelled the problem known as Ye Chen from the sect a long time ago.
Why did he have to offend this young master.
At that moment, he had already decided in his mind what should be done with Ye Chen.
"The Taixuan Holy Master overpraise me. This power of Changge truly isn't worth mentioning."
Gu Changge gave a smile at the praise. His words were calm and cool, giving the same impression as a spring breeze.
However, he also showed an attitude of one high above and solitary.
He didn't really take those words to heart.
His original self was after all a prodigy type character who descended to the lower realm.
Even in the upper realm, he was a young sovereign whose name resounded across the world.
He was that strong from the start.
Not something that any random mob could compare to.
If he wanted to deal with Ye Chen attempting to show off.
All he needed was to make the old master in his ring cautious and too scared to show himself.
With that done, how would they possibly be able to aid Ye Chen?
Gu Changge came down to the lower realm, but there was no way that he'd come down without a personal protector.
Just now, he surreptitiously contacted his protector and told him to intimidate the soul fragment in Ye Cheng's ring.
From the current situation, things were progressing just as he anticipated.
From now on, it''d be far simpler when it comes to crushing this Child of Fortune.
Ye Chen himself is probably still in trapped in the midst of shock and panic.
Why did his 100% reliable master suddenly lose all contact?
Gu Changge acted naturally, but he was laughing on the inside.
"To have forced young master Gu to personally intervene. I am truly ashamed."
At that moment, the Taixuan Holy Child Chu Xuan spoke with an embarrassed expression.
From just a glance, he was a character whose fate was to be his minion.
Therefore, there was no way that Gu Changge would particularly blame him.
Thus, he simply smiled comfortingly, "There's no need for Holy Child Chu Xuan to worry over it. Since this matter started due to myself, it's only natural that I be the one to resolve it."
"Young master is generous. This Chu Xuan is humbled."
Just as Gu Changge had expected, his words ended up making Chu Xuan only respect him more.
It settled Chu Xuan's decision to bind himself to Gu Changge.
That beautiful speech brought forth another wave of admiring sighs and gazes.
This young master is truly no commoner, be it in his aura or talent.
No, how could commoner even come close as a description?
He was entirely inestimable and unreachable!
"Young master Gu is truly strong. You can be said to be the divine, descended to the mortal world. Just the merest thread of his aura makes my heart tremble uncontrollably."
"Originally, I thought that our Taixuan Holy Land, with its tens of millenniums of inheritance and millions of miles of land, is already a mighty titan standing astride the world. However, now that I've seen the young master this day, I finally know that there are heavens beyond heaven, men beyond men..."
The various elders all joined in with flattery.
This transformation of theirs into into simps greatly surprised those guests from major powers who didn't know the truth behind Gu Changge.
They became even more curious as to the identity of this mysterious man in white.
It seems that the Taixuan Holy Land, one of the six great Holy Lands of the Eastern Wilds, had at some point sneakily attached themselves to this young master's legs.
This situation did not signify good things for the faction behind them.
It really is nice to be the villain.
People would fall over themselves to flatter you wherever you go.
Not like the protagonist, who will get looked down on and sneered at wherever they go.
As Gu Changge thought over things.
He also contacted his system.
As a transmigrator, how could he not have a cheat.
His own cheat was very much like the status menus in the online games of his previous life.
It showed various information about him.
Via reversing the fate of various Children of Fortune, he could earn Fate Points.
Fate Points were basically the same as the system currency, used for all kinds of things.
Not only could he use it to buy various amazing cultivation arts.
He could also use it to buy various talents, bloodlines, etc.
He could even directly put points into various arts or his cultivation.
Anyways, it can do pretty much anything that Gu Changge can think of.
"System."
That that moment, Gu Changge summoned up the system screen that only he could see.
Master: Gu Changge.
Identity: True disciple of the Daoist Deity Palace.
Physique/Bloodline: Demonic Heart, Daoist Bone
Cultivation: Sacred Master realm, peak stage
Techniques: Immortal Daoist Codex, Myriad Demon Form (Talent), Deity-Devouring Demonic Art...
Fate Points: 50.
Fortune Value: 30 (Black)
System Shop: Not unlocked.
A very plain screen. All the information on it were obvious at a glance.
50 Fate Points. That was what he got from humiliating Ye Cheng just now.
"System, if I were to kill Ye Chen right here and now, what would happen?"
Gu Changge asked in his mind.
"Based on mater's current Fortune Value, the System does not suggest this course of action."
"This is risk of backlash due to Fortune Value."
As he had thought.
Gu Changge shook his head.
He quietly cursed the shitty author and shitty world.
What's with this setting?
Humph, for someone of his talent and background to only have a Fortune Value of 30.
And it's freaking black colored too.
Then look at Ye Chen. Even now, with what had just happened, he still have several hundred points of fortune.
Based on the system's explanations, fortune is split into 7 levels.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet.
Normal people generally had red fortune.
This Ye Chen's fortune had already reached the level of green.
As for black, isn't that just misfortune?
"If you go against a Child for Fortune, you will incur misfortune in turn." The system explained.
And fortune backlash?
Wasn't that stuff like randomly choking to death from drinking tea, or getting struck by lighting while taking a walk?
"It looks like if I want to crush a Child of Fortune, I'll have to take it slowly. I'll have to first drain his fortune down to as low as possible first."
"That said, the whole process of slowly crushing an ant could be pretty interesting in and of itself."
Gu Changge showed no outward signs as he quickly consulted with the system in his mind.
