[Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing the task. You have obtained the "God-level Disguise Technique"!]
Hearing this prompt, Yang Song's heart moved. Before, he was worried that after he changed so much, he would cause a lot of trouble if he were to go outside in the future. Now that he obtained the Disguise Technique, this relieved his urgent need significantly.
"Be young!" Yang Song said silently in his heart.
This god-level Disguise Technique was not about doing makeup or wearing a mask. It was similar to the illusion method in the worldview of cultivating immortality.
After his will appeared, the next moment, he found that his appearance in the mirror had changed.
His skin became very smooth and white, his face had no wrinkles, and became very young-looking. The facial features were sharp and good-looking.
Those eyes were dark and deep, like the starry sky.
Overall, his current appearance was like a sculpture carved by a god.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really amazing. My original body is completely invisible. Everything has changed completely as if I have become my younger self. Well, I quite miss this look... This thing is so easy to use, but I don't know if I can change my appearance to someone else."
After thinking of this, Yang Song did not delay and thought again.
Afterward, as he looked at himself in the mirror, he felt his whole body was not very good… In the mirror, he saw a super beautiful woman with soft and white skin, a melon-seed face, long eyelashes, and big shiny eyes. On the c.h.e.s.t, there were two majestic mountain peaks…
"Change back!"
Yang Song shivered, and when Xiao Laoxu did not notice, he quickly changed his appearance back to normal.
This God-level Disguise Technique, he had completely mastered it.
Not only could he change his appearance at will, but he could also change his body shape and even his very gender.
"In the future, there will be another means of escape. If I encounter someone stronger than me and I fail to fight, I can easily become a child and get into the crowd and run away. My opponent will probably never find me even in their dreams! Hahaha…"
Yang Song thought secretly.
"By the way, after the Family Influence is turned on, every family member can be viewed remotely. Doesn't that mean I can view Haoxi's situation to determine whether he is still alive?" In the next moment, Yang Song's thinking jumped here.
Immediately, strange things took place. At this time, he did not even need to observe through the Eyes of Insight. Yang Haoxi's talent situation and combat power clearly appeared in his mind.
Name: Yang Haoxi
Talent: music (11), hiding (66), comprehension (80), alien language (100)
Note: The impact value currently provided for the family is 75.
"Haoxi is still alive, and he has become a Grandmaster. It seems that my previous guess is completely correct."
After reading such information, Yang Song was stunned, and then he was overjoyed. At the same time, he was full of amazement at the talent of Yang Haoxi. His comprehension ability was as high as 80. It was considered the best among all the martial artists that Yang Song had seen during this period.
In addition, Yang Haoxi also had a heavy-defying alien language talent and another 'hiding talent' with a value of 66.
It seemed that when Yang Haoxi got lost in the abyss this time, he also got a great opportunity to became a Grandmaster powerhouse. With this alien language talent, maybe he could communicate with all the abyssal monsters and advance with ease.
After being shocked, Yang Song also had some doubts in his heart.
"That's not right. System, there are only seven Grandmasters in C Country. Since Haoxi has become a Grandmaster, why is our Family Influence still that low? After our Yang Family has a Grandmaster, at least it can easily squeeze into the top ten in the country, right?"
[Yang Haoxi is still in the abyss. The news that he became a Grandmaster has not spread, so it has not brought any influence across the country and the world. Also, the senior management believes that he is already dead. Hence, in this period of time, the influence will not rise, on the contrary, it will continue to decline.]
"So that's the case."
Yang Song suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Looking at it this way, the main mission this time is not difficult. When Haoxi returns, it will be like 'the return of the king', and I believe that it will be staged on a global scale. By then, my family influence will skyrocket, right? My family's ranking will naturally rise instantly and become No. 1 in Martial City, right? This is too simple."
While looking forward to it, Yang Song was curious about his other two sons. Thus, he immediately looked at their situation.
Not to mention, this new Family Influence function was really easy to use. In addition to checking their talent status, it was too convenient to use it to determine whether his descendants were safe.
…
In the office of the Military Governor Mansion in Tong City, Yang Haodong took a deep breath and stopped practicing, frowning slightly.
"Even father can become a martial artist after he hits his 100th year, but I have not made any progress in these years. This is really too shocking! Is it really that difficult for me to improve in martial arts? I also ate a lot of abyssal monster meat that day, but why did it not work?"
Yang Haodong frowned and murmured.
"Also, there is still no news from Third Brother. As long as one enters the abyss, no matter how talented one is in martial arts, after he gets lost in it, the chance of getting out is extremely slim. However, I can't say for sure for my Third Brother, I just hope he will be safe and sound. And that Disaster Department, I requested them to investigate for a few times now, but there's still no news even after a week…"
When these thoughts appeared, Yang Haodong's mood became messier and messier. He felt like his brain was about to roll into a bird's nest.
Then the useless theory of using martial arts to battle against the weird and terrifying abyss had also begun to appear quietly.
"Oh! It would be great if I could become Xi Yan! There is an old grandpa who is proficient in all kinds of magical powers, and he takes care of me like a nanny in cultivation. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I can easily resolve it…"
Thinking of this, Yang Haodong's eyes were placed on the office computer unknowingly.
Ever since he finished listening to the content of the first volume of "Battle Through the Paradise", every once in a while, the wonderful and passionate plot inside would be played back in Yang Haodong's mind several times.
During this time, while he was free, he also secretly studied the current online novels.
In the current online novels industry, the most popular ones were basically martial arts novels with generic plots such as hunting treasures in the caves, fighting for justice, heroes saving the beauties, and so on.
After just reading a few novels with those plots, he felt nauseous every time he thought of them. He simply could not stand it at all.
"Anyway, I haven't made much progress in martial arts. Even my father is so greater than me now, so what's the point of practicing those farts? Third Brother is talented, but there's no news about him. I will only get upset when I am idle alone, so coding some words is also good."
When this thought arose, he could no longer dispel it.
Chapter One, The Fallen Genius!
"Dou Zhi Li, 3rd stage!"
It was also peculiar. Sitting in front of the computer, Yang Haodong was thinking like a fountain. He had never written a novel before, but he was very proficient to the point that he was amazed at himself at this moment.
Click, click, click…
After a while, only the sound of cl.i.c.k.i.n.g the keyboard was left in the entire office.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the hero and deceive the poor!"
Only more than an hour passed, but Yang Haodong had already finished the first plot. The more he wrote, the more excited he became. He could not stop his hands and brain from writing and thinking about the content of the novel at all.
Whatever he wrote, it went extremely smoothly and without any major mistakes.
"20,000 words, done!"
Two hours later, Yang Haodong stopped. In just one hour, he wrote 10,000 words. With this writing speed, even a full-time only writer might not be able to do it. (A/N: 20,000 words are around 12,000 English words, so 10,000 words are 6,000 English words.)
He turned around and read the 20,000 characters inside again, and made sure that there were no major problems. After correcting some typos here and there, he opened the most famous online novel website, Runningnovel, and registered a pen name – The Sky Laughs The Earth Teases.
Ten minutes later, the book "Battle Through the Paradise", and the first 20,000 words, was successfully published on this website.
…
Yang Family courtyard, in the secret room.
"Damn, Haodong wrote it so fast? He made 20,000 words in just two hours? Well, let's go and see his book."
When Yang Song checked Yang Haodong's information and found a published novel in the remarks, he was a little surprised.
However, white surprised, he was very pleased in his heart.
"Haodong is also getting older, and it is difficult to make achievements in martial arts training. Although he is the military governor of Tong City, the real influence is only in Tong City, and his influence value is only 10. The book "Battle Through the Paradise" will undoubtedly become a hit. If he becomes the first person in online novels by them, the influence will surely increase, right?"
Yang Song wondered whether he should help Yang Haodong again after he thought about this.
Runningnovel was a very irritating website in C Country. If a writer wanted to get exposure, he needed to pay a certain amount of money. As long as he gave a certain amount of money, that writer's book would be displayed on the latest and best recommendation list right at the top of the page.
Many authors, in order to obtain fame, desperately threw money. The website would draw a certain share by then, and they would make sure that the profit was not lost.
After a while more, Yang Song looked at the laptop in the secret room and took it over.
"Speaking of which, the name of this Runningnovel website is really strange, does it mean to run at any time?"
Yang Song opened his laptop, quickly entered the web address, search for Battle Through the Paradise, and opened the main page of the book. After a momentary glance, he found the data was bleak, and the only comment in the book review area was about cursing.
"Is this author poisoned? What kind of writing style is this? What the f.u.c.k is Dou Qi? Will there be Leg Qi and Horse Qi as well? Rubbish, I better go read other martial arts books! This book will be bombed out to the 'slump area' for sure!"
Looking at this comment, Yang Song smiled.
Although the martial arts genre was the mainstream, his research on the world's web articles and the emergence of "Battle Through the Paradise" would definitely subvert it.
He ignored this mentally retarded comment and opened the fan reward list. The most expensive reward cost 8,000 C dollars. (A/N: Previously, I only used 'dollars', but it was actually C dollar, which means C Country's dollar. And as you may have known, it's Yuan.)
He topped up 10,000 C dollars on the spot and gave Yang Haodong a reward all at once.
"Next, it's up to that guy's performance. It's best to update steadily. Don't shame your father. If you stop halfway, the 10,000 C dollars' reward must be refunded ten times!"
After seeing that "Battle Through the Paradise" had been on the fan list, Yang Song turned off the laptop and then began to remotely observe Yang Haonan's situation instead.
