NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4:
Chapter 4:
“Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill?”
Seeing this reward, Lin Liang was momentarily stunned. It wasn’t that he thought it was bad…
Anyone who had read a few web novels and had some basic knowledge knew just how powerful this technique was!
The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill…
This was the technique practiced by Yang Jian!
Mastered to its peak, it could unleash the terrifying Form of Heaven and Earth!
It even allowed the practitioner to achieve a holy, invincible body.
In a world filled with immensely powerful beings, this was considered a top-tier technique.
That was why Lin Liang was stunned…
Wasn’t this supposed to be an ordinary low-martial world?
How did he end up with the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill?
In most cultivation novels, this would be the ultimate cheat!
And he even got a bonus of beginner-level power!!!
Even with this rudimentary level, Lin Liang could feel an immense change within himself.
It was like he had been completely reborn!!!
He now had no doubt that he could easily knock down an elephant with a single punch.
He probably wouldn’t even be injured if he were hit by a cannonball.
His lifespan had likely been extended by several hundred years as well.
This was like a complete power upgrade!
The so-called martial arts in this world were generally divided into acquired and Innate masters.
Beyond Innate, there were realms like “Diamond Body” and “Earthly Immortal”…
But those were just glorified titles.
Now, Lin Liang was the real deal—a Diamond Physique, an Earthly Immortal!
Fortunately, it was just the entry-level Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, and not even the first level had been unlocked.
If he had received the first level directly, Lin Liang was certain there’d be some sort of heaven-shaking phenomenon!
At the same time, he felt a bit concerned.
Now that he was so powerful, what if Long Haotian attacked him… and Lin Liang accidentally killed him with a single blow?
“I’ll need to be careful playing the villain from now on!” He reminded himself.
But, despite all his worries, this was still a fantastic development!
No one would ever complain about having a technique that was too powerful!
“System, you really came through.”
“I thought your rewards would just be the bare minimum!”
“I underestimated you, stuck as I was in my city novel mindset.”
The system remained silent, but Lin Liang didn’t mind.
He felt even more motivated to start editing videos now!
“Tomorrow, I need to properly play the role of the simp villain!”
“I’ll gather more material, and then I can record another video in the evening!”
“I’ll make the commentary funnier, and the sarcasm even sharper.”
“There’s no review process on my videos anyway, so I need to really rake in those emotional points!”
Contentedly setting his alarm, Lin Liang went to sleep.
…
The next morning at eight o’clock, Lin Liang’s alarm woke him up.
“Time for school!”
Like Long Haotian and Li Ruo, Lin Liang was also a sophomore at Jiang City University.
In this brainless world, the educational system wasn’t exactly fair.
Even though the original Lin Liang was a terrible student, he’d bought his way into this top-notch school.
After all, if Long Haotian, a mysterious assassin, could attend…
It was no surprise that the young master of the Lin family was enrolled too.
Since both the university and his home were in Jiang City, Lin Liang naturally stayed in his family’s mansion.
Forcing the young master to live in a dorm would be like asking him to suffer an unimaginable fate.
Even Li Ruo’s choice to rent a single-person apartment seemed inexplicable to Lin Liang.
While he didn’t have the original young master’s snobbish habits, if he could avoid dorm life, why wouldn’t he?
After changing and freshening up, Lin Liang went downstairs.
He enjoyed a simple breakfast prepared by the family’s Michelin-star chef before heading to the garage.
He picked the most low-key car in his collection: a black McLaren 720s.
Although still a multimillion-dollar supercar, it was one of the cheapest in his fleet.
Its black color was much subtler than flashy red or green. Incredibly discreet!
However, as he drove from his mansion to the university, he still drew plenty of attention from passersby.
Especially near Jiang City University, where he could feel the envious and jealous stares of the male students.
The female students, on the other hand, looked on with admiration, many clearly infatuated.
Lin Liang sighed.
“As expected, this world is ridiculous!”
“As students of the nation’s top university, shouldn’t they be treating wealth like dirt?”
“They should be scoffing at spoiled, rich kids like me!”
“How will they ever become the pillars of the nation, the builders of society?”
Tonight, I’ll have to heavily criticize this world in my video!
He parked his Black Knight in the university lot and checked his appearance in the mirror.
Dressed in a stylish yet slightly showy white casual suit, he looked every bit the fairy-tale prince.
“Perfect, very dashing!”
Satisfied, Lin Liang grabbed the enormous bouquet of 9,999 roses that the family butler had prepared for him.
“Ugh, it’s so big and heavy.”
Even with the power of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, carrying this massive bouquet almost filled the passenger seat.
Once he picked it up, he could barely see anything beyond the flowers!
“Damn, I’ve been here so long I think I’m becoming brainless too.”
Shaking his head, he pulled a single rose from the bunch.
The rest he handed to a group of ten nearby female students.
“For you, take about a hundred each.”
Listening to the girls’ squeals of joy and compliments about how “handsome” he was, Lin Liang shook his head.
“Alright, this world is definitely more brainless.”
He only needed a single rose anyway, just enough to act the part of the simp villain.
He wasn’t expecting any real success, after all!
With this in mind, Lin Liang held the delicate rose between his teeth and strode toward the main entrance of Jiang City University’s library.
According to the novel, this was the spot where Long Haotian and Li Ruo would meet for the first time.
And, of course, where Lin Liang would annoy Li Ruo, only to be sent flying by Long Haotian’s kick!
