Ch 5: After The Lottery, Mom’s Not Afraid Of Me Being Beat To Death Anymore

【Ding~ Negative Emotion +20】

“What the hell?”

He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

Then a prompt sounded in his mind.

Another critical hit?

Cao Cheng was stunned.

“Where did this negative emotion come from?”

20 points of negative emotion, this represents the other party’s high social status, definitely not an ordinary person.

If it were an ordinary commoner, where would there be so much?

Everyone has their own fortune and luck.

Those high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and celebrities, let alone class issues, at least their luck and fortune wouldn’t be too bad.

In addition,

it’s also unlikely to be someone he doesn’t know; the probability of generating so much negative emotion from a stranger is low.

Who would inexplicably have hatred for a stranger?

Therefore,

they should have some kind of relationship.

At worst, they’re just acquaintances.

“Could it be…”

“Someone is watching me?”

In just three seconds, Cao Cheng considered a reasonable explanation.

It’s that someone must have been watching him around the square since this morning.

Then, for some unknown reason, such a strong resentment was generated.

Until just now, when he went home, the other party should still be following him, and another inexplicable hatred was generated.

Otherwise, it’s inexplicable.

The system couldn’t be wrong.

There must be someone tailing him nearby.

Slap!

Cao Cheng turned off the living room lights, instantly plunging the entire room into darkness.

Cao Cheng went to the balcony and looked down from the window.

The old residential area, with buildings closely spaced.

There wasn’t much greenery below, only a row of small garages.

So it wouldn’t obstruct the view.

Cao Cheng’s eyes scanned downstairs.

Suddenly,

he saw the backs of two people leaving in the distance, seemingly women, but they quickly entered the corner of the building and were no longer visible.

Cao Cheng didn’t hesitate for a moment and turned to leave.

He ran down from the third floor, chasing after those two figures.

This old residential area only has one exit, so he didn’t lose them.

He quickly caught up with them.

He trailed far behind them.

He confirmed that they were two women. He couldn’t see their faces, but they had great figures and excellent temperament.

Absolutely could be called: back view killers.

Just a back view could trigger some thoughts that make men unable to resist.

Cao Cheng didn’t know if these two women were the ones tailing him; maybe they were just passing by.

But,

it’s better to follow the wrong person than to miss the right one.

Soon,

the two women left the residential area. The old man in the security booth at the entrance seemed to be dead inside, not reacting at all to people coming and going, only loudly playing the radio.

Cao Cheng slowed his pace.

The streetlights outside were very bright, unlike the dimness inside the residential area.

Therefore,

if he followed too closely, if the other party turned around, they would see Cao Cheng.

Soon,

the backs of the two women appeared on a black luxury car by the roadside.

Cao Cheng took a step back, allowing his figure to enter the shadows of the residential area, so they couldn’t see him.

The luxury car slowly started and turned around in the street.

Cao Cheng finally saw the license plate.

A Zhonghai license plate!

“Zhonghai!”

“…”

Cao Cheng’s eyes changed for a few seconds.

Zhonghai.

Aunt Ren?

It’s not surprising that Cao Cheng immediately suspected Aunt Ren, after all, Old Cao was looking for wealthy women from Zhonghai.

And Cao Cheng hadn’t offended anyone.

Therefore,

was Aunt Ren’s husband discovering Old Cao’s affair and then sending people to surveil him? The son pays for the father’s debts, and the family suffers?

Shameless.

Uh…

No,

Cao Cheng shook his head and denied this guess.

Old Cao was flirty.

But he never destroyed other people’s families; that was his bottom line.

Old Cao only flirted with some widows.

So, the two women just now, judging by their backs, were quite young, should be two of Aunt Ren’s four daughters?

Are they my cheap older sisters?

Why were they surveilling him?

And why so much negative emotion?

It couldn’t be because they saw him winning money playing chess, right?

That doesn’t make sense!

“Xiao Cao.”

“Whoa, you scared me…”

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Cao Cheng was startled.

Turning around to look at the gatekeeper, this thin old man, his heart beat rapidly.

“What are you doing standing at my door?”

“Nothing!” Cao Cheng turned and left.

The gatekeeper had a question mark on his head.

However,

luckily this old man didn’t have a system, otherwise, Cao Cheng could instantly provide him with 10 points of negative emotion.

Damn it, that was so scary.

…

Back home.

Cao Cheng took a shower.

While washing, he considered what happened earlier.

With unequal information, Cao Cheng couldn’t understand why they would provide so much negative emotion.

But there was one thing Cao Cheng knew.

That is, Aunt Ren’s daughters seemed to have an opinion about him, or perhaps it’s an opinion about Old Cao, leading them to hate him by association.

Thinking about it this way, it made sense.

They are all so grown up, suddenly having a stepfather, most people wouldn’t accept it.

Especially since their family is rich.

Originally, there were no sons in the family, and the property would be divided among the four daughters.

But now there’s a stepfather, so half of the property should be given to the stepfather, or even, the stepfather is the first heir.

It’s possible that in the end, the four daughters wouldn’t get much money.

Thinking about this, Cao Cheng felt that this was reasonable.

It seems,

it was Old Cao’s fault.

Old Cao’s days won’t be easy from now on!

Cao Cheng shook his head, didn’t think about it anymore, bathed in incense, and drew a lottery!

That’s the most important thing.

And Cao Cheng discovered another way to earn emotion value.

There’s a way in Zhonghai now.

The risk is a bit high.

But the profit is amazing…

I should have gone to Zhonghai with Old Cao. With the existence of those four cheap older sisters, since they hate Old Cao so much, they’ll probably provide Young Master Cao with a lot of negative emotions.

Much more than those old men in the square.

After Old Cao’s trip back to China, find a chance to go to Zhonghai.

…

Half an hour later.

Young Master Cao sat on the sofa.

He lit three cigarettes.

There was no incense, so he used cigarettes instead.

The sense of ritual was full…

For a moment,

the smoke filled his vision, a bit stinging his eyes.

He called out to the system in his mind.

Lottery!

A lottery treasure chest appeared in the void, constantly changing colors.

Sometimes iron, sometimes copper, sometimes silver, gold, diamond…

Finally.

The color change slowed down, a gold treasure chest.

The first lottery draw will definitely give a good item!

100 points of emotion value directly upgraded it to a gold treasure chest.

Open!

Golden light radiated everywhere.

【Ding~】

【Congratulations, Host, for drawing a gold treasure chest, obtaining Mixed Martial Arts（Grandmaster）!】

“This reward is great.”

“Mom will never have to worry about me being beaten to death again!”

Instantly,

countless memories flooded in.

It was like having an extra hundred years of memories, but this memory didn’t contain anything else, only various insights into martial arts.

Therefore,

in an instant, Cao Cheng felt like he had practiced martial arts for a hundred years.

He also understood what Mixed Martial Arts was.

It integrated many Chinese martial arts techniques.

This included various techniques such as boxing, kicking, palm strikes, finger techniques, and body techniques.

There were also various standing postures and insights into breathing techniques.

More than that,

there was also combat experience, human weaknesses, and so on.

In other words, now, except that Cao Cheng’s physical fitness remained the same, his martial arts techniques and experience had already reached the level of a grandmaster.

From now on, he only needed to exercise his body, and he would become stronger day by day.

The progress was astonishing.

Rapid progress was inevitable.

Cao Cheng also understood the skill levels of the treasure chests.

The worst is 【Beginner】, then 【Small Accomplishment】, 【Great Accomplishment】, 【Grandmaster】!

Corresponding to iron treasure chests, copper treasure chests, silver treasure chests, and gold treasure chests, respectively.

In other words, even if an iron treasure chest produces a skill, it’s only at the beginner level.

Only gold treasure chests and above can produce grandmasters.

After gold treasure chests are diamond treasure chests.

And after Grandmaster…

Cao Cheng didn’t know what it was.

He would only know when he opened a diamond treasure chest.
