Ch 126: God-level Treasure Chest, System Upgrade, It’s Really Hard To Die Now

“I’m really hard to kill now.”

“Damn!”

Cao Cheng empathetically considered the villains’ perspective, imagining himself as a villain trying to kill him.

It seemed impossible to even strike a blow.

How can I be killed like this?

It’s too difficult.

……

Eighth one.

The cumbersome void fantasy scenes passed.

Cao Cheng’s eyes gradually lost their previous brilliance.

He was truly numb.

He wanted to live forever.

This had always been his desire.

But immortality and invulnerability are different.

In short,

these aren’t things Young Master Cao urgently needs right now; one is enough, at most two or three.

Any more, and I’d be desensitized.

I’d have immunity.

【Ding~】

【Congratulations, Host, for witnessing a miracle! You have drawn a God-Level Treasure Chest and obtained God-Level Damage Reflection!】

“……”

Literal meaning.

I’m too lazy to even read the description.

Basically, when a villain attacks Young Master Cao, the same attack power is returned.

……

“Forget it.”

“I won’t open it.”

“It’s boring.”

Cao Cheng had two left, and didn’t want to open them.

Today’s fortune seems off.

Wait a bit longer.

Cao Cheng got up to leave.

But after taking only two steps,

he sat back down with a dark expression, shouting:

“Damn it, I don’t believe it! Open the ninth one for me.”

Since I’m already here,

and the incense is lit,

what’s the point of saving the other two?

I might as well open them all at once.

“Open~~~”

【Ding~】

【Congratulations, Host, for witnessing a miracle! You have drawn a God-Level Treasure Chest and obtained Bullet Time!】

“!”

Undying.

Completely undying.

Cao Cheng laughed; very good, very good.

“Open it.”

“I want to see how many life-saving items are in your God-Level Treasure Chests. I don’t believe they’re all life-saving things.”

“There shouldn’t be any duplicates, right?”

Knock knock knock——

A series of knocks on the door.

Then the door opened.

Not at all polite.

Did I say ‘Come in’?

Oh~

Long legs.

Second Sister is back.

She had something to do at her workplace tonight and didn’t return for the family banquet.

Second Sister wore a midi-length dress today.

And stockings.

Different from her usual jeans and leather jackets.

She usually wears casual clothes at work, but I’ve never seen her wear a dress.

“……”

Cao Cheng took a look; those legs, those stockings, that length, that…

“Did you go on a blind date today? Dressed up so beautifully? Trying to charm someone?” Cao Cheng was surprised.

Seeing Cao Cheng’s expression, Second Sister felt a hint of happiness.

At least her attire was noticed.

That was practically a compliment.

Even if it was a little awkward.

“Today’s task: Disguise Reconnaissance!” Second Sister casually said.

Cao Cheng understood.

It was basically undercover work.

But real-world undercover work is completely different from what’s shown in movies. Most disguise reconnaissance is like Second Sister’s; wearing casual clothes, conducting surveillance around the target location, waiting for the operation to begin.

A small portion is the kind shown in movies.

“Sweeping Yellow?”

“No, it’s assisting with a drug bust.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“We’re just assisting; it’s not that dangerous.”

They chatted casually for a bit.

It was also because Second Sister didn’t come home for the family banquet; it had been a while since they’d seen each other.

Otherwise, even if Second Sister came home late, she wouldn’t run to Cao Cheng’s room to chat.

“What kind of incense is this? It smells quite good?”

“I’ll give you a couple later.”

“You’re so generous; thank you.”

“Tch!!”

Cao Cheng pouted: “If it weren’t for the Dragon’s Spittle Incense, would you still be sarcastic after I give you something? Do you know what this is?”

“What is it?” Second Sister shook her head; she really didn’t know.

“Top-grade Dragon’s Spittle Incense. It’s not something produced by just any sperm whale; it requires a king among whales, and it needs to be at least over a hundred years old to even have a chance… to hear clearly, there’s a chance to produce such a small amount.”

Cao Cheng said: “I only got over ten sticks. Money can’t buy it, okay?”

“……”

Young Master Cao’s words were still quite understated.

He couldn’t say it was produced in the Cultivation World.

Even if you gathered all the sperm whales on Blue Star, you might not be able to get it.

This thing can lead to enlightenment.

Anything that can lead to enlightenment naturally has high status.

And Young Master Cao really doesn’t have much.

Just over ten… jin!

Although one stick doesn’t even weigh a gram, but… you use a little less every time.

If you want more, you’ll need to draw from the Gold Chest.

Cough cough~

Anyway, it’s very rare.

……

Second Sister didn’t refute him.

She took a deep breath, a cheerful look flashing across her pretty face.

It’s truly a good thing.

After a long day, taking two breaths made her feel inexplicably relaxed from head to toe.

It’s like she wasn’t tired anymore.

She could continue pulling all-nighters to handle several major cases.

“How about four sticks?” Second Sister shamelessly asked.

They’re close now.

She actually asked for something.

Second Sister ruined her persona.

Cao Cheng rolled his eyes: “It’s not impossible.”

“Speak.” Second Sister nodded lightly, with an expression of ‘I knew you had conditions’.

“Massage.”

“Lie down!” Second Sister was also decisive.

This incense really benefited her.

Especially when tired.

The feeling of smelling it…

Besides,

this wasn’t her first massage.

Cao Cheng lay down on the sofa with a smirk.

Second Sister immediately started with a set of grappling techniques.

“Aaah~~~~” Cao Cheng screamed.

It wasn’t Dragon’s Spittle Incense.

Damn it, you call that a massage?

A mischievous smile crossed Second Sister’s lips.

Cao Cheng shouted: “Massage! It’s a massage, not catching a thief! Can you be gentler? Will you even get married like this? I’m very worried, Second Sister, I’m not saying…aaah…………”

It wasn’t that painful.

She was precisely pressing on the acupuncture points.

This woman is professional.

She could make it hurt, yet also relaxing.

Skilled hands.

But…

Young Master Cao had to yell; if he expressed comfort, she probably wouldn’t find it fun, right?

To deal with girls, you have to understand their minds; then they will continue to play with you.

Just like some playful girls; you have to be pranked, otherwise they won’t feel a sense of accomplishment and will go prank other boys.

“I surrender.”

“I confess, I confess.”

“I confess everything.”

“I’m a Comintern liaison, my superior…aah! I’ve confessed everything.”

Cao Cheng shrieked.

Second Sister snorted, punching him: “Stop joking about this.”

“Okay, okay, no more jokes. But can you be lighter? My bones are broken. You’re a criminal investigation expert, and I’m just a weak, ordinary scholar, unable to lift or carry anything. Except for the ten million girls who like my face, I’m good for nothing. Be gentler…” Cao Cheng muttered.

“Oh, ten million girls…”

Second Sister chuckled: “Stop pretending. Your martial skills aren’t bad. When are we fighting?”

“Sigh, you still don’t get it. I’ve said it; strengthening the body is about cultivating the mind, practicing the way of nature. Don’t always be fighting… yes, yes, that’s a good spot. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch…”

Second Sister blushed, punching him again: “Stop yelling; keep your voice down.”

She was probably afraid others would hear.

Play is play.

Trouble is trouble.

Amidst their playful fighting, Second Sister seriously started to massage him properly; not entirely for the top-grade Dragon’s Spittle Incense.

Their relationship had also deepened.

After all, they’d known each other for so long.

From the initial misunderstanding to gradually discovering their differences, then she helped him solve cases.

Though he only solved one case.

But the difficulty and coincidences of that case were truly unique.

It also let her see Young Master Cao’s different aspects.

Including Young Master Cao’s ability to make money.

Even though Second Sister wasn’t sensitive to money, she knew how difficult it was. This was Young Master Cao’s strength and ability.

Especially this donation.

Young Master Cao’s attitude and righteous act amazed even her; completely unimaginable.

Someone who says they’ll donate one billion and does it, she didn’t know whether to call him foolish or righteous.

Moreover, this amount of money was huge.

Even the entire Ren family couldn’t afford it.

Unless they sold the company’s assets.

Therefore,

Second Sister’s view of Young Master Cao completely changed.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to see this bratty Fifth Brother immediately after work, because she missed the family banquet.

It was an apology.

When she was at work, she first had the thought of asking for leave to attend Fifth Brother’s welcoming party.

But others didn’t know about her change of heart.

Maybe even she herself hadn’t realized it.

……

Second Sister pressed very seriously.

Cao Cheng could feel it.

So he stopped yelling and making a fuss.

He relaxed and began to enjoy Second Sister’s Tui Na.

Sigh~ Weightless.

Home is still the best.

Let’s be honest.

Professionals are professionals.

After Second Sister’s massage, Cao Cheng’s frustration from the lottery was completely gone.

It didn’t matter.

It was just a few God-Level Treasure Chests.

I can draw again later.

I don’t believe

I won’t be able to draw something for immortality later.

I’ll drink some 【Longevity Tea】 to hold on. As long as I live long enough and have enough emotion value, won’t God-Level Treasure Chests be easy to draw?

Right.

There’s one left.

Draw!

Void fantasy energy dispersed, stars sprinkling around, dazzling and colorful, as if in the universe’s starry river.

Maybe it was because of Second Sister, Cao Cheng felt that the pre-lottery scene wasn’t so boring anymore.

After all…

Second Sister, with her 1.7-meter long legs, was sitting astride him, massaging his shoulders.

Pretty good.

All I need is some fruit to feed me.

Where’s Fourth Sister?

She didn’t come to feed me fruit, that younger sister is useless.

【Ding~】

【Congratulations, Host, for witnessing a miracle! You have drawn a God-Level Treasure Chest and obtained a piece of special news!】

Cao Cheng almost sat up.

Finally, something that wasn’t life-saving…

After looking at the description,

it really wasn’t.

Special news, it’s a type of ‘intelligence’.

The content was about the rise and fall of foreign exchange and commodities over one day, two months later.

It’s exaggerated information.

Cao Cheng’s dreams didn’t contain much of this kind of information, mostly just news about big events.

But this special news filled this gap. Even if it was only one day’s worth of information, it was enough for many people to get rich.

The Forex Market, commodities and the Stock Market are different.

Especially the Forex Market; the leverage can go up to 400 times.

As long as you have enough funds, earning over 100 million USD in a day is not a problem, and the Forex Market is large enough to accommodate sufficient funds.

It’s not comparable to the Stock Market.

Of course,

Young Master Cao isn’t interested in money.

The reason he was excited was because the God-Level Treasure Chest finally changed; it wasn’t a life-saving item anymore.

Wait!

Young Master Cao suddenly thought of a possibility.

He found the key point.

Was it because of Second Sister?

She’s his lucky charm.

Having her around can change his great fortune.

“Second Sister.”

“You’re truly a… treasure girl.”

“?”

Second Sister was stunned; what kind of nonsense is that? What does ‘treasure girl’ mean?

【Ding~】

【Having drawn ten God-Level Treasure Chests, the system is upgrading…】

【Please wait!】

【Countdown: 90 days!】
