Chapter 100: Advantages and Disadvantages (Bonus G.T)

All the explanations in today's chapter may be a little confusing but it will all make sense in the future.**********

It was the dawn of Sunday morning when Wei Jun and the party arrived at Yuan Yin City. The entire helicopter was quiet on the way. Wei Jun had a concentrated expression on his face. He had divided his senses into three different proportions.

With one, he was keeping a look out around him. With the other one, he was focused on his cultivation circulation. Just to be sure, he was doing the circulations a little slower than usual. And finally, with very little attention, he thought back to the move of the man he had seen back at the helipad.

How his feet reacted when he jumped, and how he controlled the space around him. How air parted for him for assent. And how, even after a massive fall, he wasn't just in one piece but looked absolutely fine.

According to the system, that man was in the Qi master realm, the same as Sun Ruan, and also, that man had used Qi discharge on a great level.

According to the system, the cultivators at Wei Jun's rank didn't have the option of discharging Qi. They can only use it inside of them or to make Qi armament. To discharge Qi, one must be in the Qi manifestation realm.

The realm where one can literally let out Qi from their palm into another body. It was different from Luo Han's Qi armament which damaged Wei Jun. His Qi only delivered damage to the outside of Wei Jun, it didn't enter his body.

But at the Qi manifestation realm, one can let Qi into their opponents, like Wei Jun did but the only difference was that Wei Jun was at the first rank of cultivation, not fourth.

Also, the skill 'Qi empowerment' was supposed to come at the second level, at the Qi gathering realm. That was another skill Wei Jun could use thanks to the system.

Wei Jun realized from this short conversation that the system had many uses for him and that it made him stronger several times than his peers. Of course, there was also the disadvantage of the system.

According to the system, if Wei Jun's stats hit the limit, they would not increase unless he increased his level. Each level ten earned him twenty stats points for each category. So if Wei Jun was stuck at level twenty, the most he could raise his Qi stat would be to 40 which was the peak of the Qi sense realm.

Even now, two of his physical stats surpassed sixty but their effects were stuck at sixty because he wasn't level thirty yet. He needed to be level thirty to break their limit by another twenty.

Wei Jun opened his eyes after thirty minutes of cultivation. The helicopter was about to land. Wei Jun earned nothing from this short cultivation, but doing cultivation always brought him a refreshing feeling. He didn't even feel the need to sleep last night. Even now, his mind was refreshed as if he had just woken up after a perfect long sleep.

"Rest for today, both of you." Wei Jun said before he addressed Lao Chen who had come to receive him and pointed at the four sacks while saying, "Store them. Take care of them. I need them."

He talked as if he was talking about things instead of living beings. Lao Chen nodded and replied, "I will see to it, young master."

Without another word, Wei Jun left for the Ruan villa where he was staying. He was thinking of purchasing a flat for himself but he couldn't afford the commodities in the Ruan villa elsewhere yet so he decided to be a little shameless for a little longer.

Wei Jun wasn't planning on working today but instead, all he planned to do was to cultivate. From dawn to dawn, he planned to just cultivate. Of course, he was going to have little breaks to eat because while becoming a cultivator allowed him to cut back on sleep, it also increased his appetite several times higher. Even now, he was famished and he felt like he could eat a whole cow, alone.

Which was exactly what he ordered Madam Lim to do once he arrived back home. He entered the gym to see that none of the diligent actors had any motivation to take care of themselves unless he was the one to provide it. Still, he decided to cut them some slack for today. But tomorrow, he will make them work three times harder, both here and at the office.

Wei Jun left the gym since doing the gym did nothing for him now. Still, he was going to stick to his regime of one set every day so as to not grow rusty. Although according to the system, once a stat point was gained, it would never lessen unless special circumstances allowed, he still wasn't a believer in just doing nothing.

Besides, a small exercise of one set wasn't even going to take half an hour of his time.

Wei Jun returned to his room to freshen up. He then soaked himself in a warm bath because it was going to take quite some time to prepare what he had ordered. He came out of the bath and changed after drying himself. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Then he just sat on the bed, cross-legged. He didn't cultivate or anything. He just sat there. Trying to gauge the situation he was in once again. Last night, he truly felt alive. In that destruction, he felt like he could do anything.

But there was one variable, one thing about last night that didn't sit well with him. The existence of another powerful being. A being, more powerful than him.

It vexed him. Not just the person he saw last night, but the protagonist, his associates, and even Wei Jun's own associates, those who were stronger than him, those who could make him do something against his will, he denied the existence of all of them.

He wasn't cruel, he would allow them to live under one condition, that they serve him with all their lives. Of course, to do that, Wei Jun himself needed to heed the number one and only rule of the world, be the strongest.

If his power was beyond everyone else, who would dare to stand against him? However, to do that, the wheel of problems returned to the one point that vexed him even more, his level.

As things stood, the most he would be able to increase his Qi is up to sixty, that was halfway through the Qi gathering realm.

The only way to solve that was to get close to Lin Ruan and Quan Li. He had realized from his earlier experiments that he didn't need to steal them from the protagonist. No romance was needed, all he had to do was make sure they didn't get close to each other.

From everything until now, Quan Li's connection with Run Long weakened only once, when he had made her conscious of her weakness and the fact that Zhan Yi had to sacrifice himself for her.

Whether it was romantically or she felt responsible, she had decided to get along with Zhan Yi. Wei Jun was nowhere in this story and that proved that he wasn't needed.

With Lin Ruan, the matter was a little difficult. In her case, Wei Jun hadn't been manipulative, he hadn't even properly interacted with her. In her case, as long as her accident, which Wei Jun caused in the novel, didn't happen, there was no other reason for her to get involved with Run Long.

Wei Jun didn't know how to act in her case, other than letting her have what she deserved, the company she worked hard for, the business of the Ruan family.

Wei Jun had no qualms about letting her have it because in his view, she really did deserve it and Wei Jun wasn't the type to just inherit. He had made a name for himself before and he was very much capable of doing that again.

Besides, his ultimate goal wasn't some small company in the first place. So if all it took to have Lin Ruan on his side was some company, he was more than happy to let her have it.

Compiling all this information, Wei Jun noticed that in all this scenario, Wei Jun himself didn't need to get involved with anything. He didn't need to be involved with Quan Li, and there was no need to get involved with Lin Ruan as long as he stepped out of her way.

[I wouldn't be too sure of that]

'What do you mean?' The system interjected. The interference from the system meant that some of Wei Jun's plans weren't going in the right direction.

[In the case of Quan Li, your plan may be right, but in the case of the main heroines, even those that don't raise his power, are cases you might need to get personally involved with]

'Why so?' Wei Jun asked.

[Let's not look at this world from a novel point of view, but the point of view of the laws]

[The laws strictly depict their plans]

[Just like Run Long is important to the world, the main heroines are also important]

[You may not get any EXP in that case, but being together of the protagonist and the main heroine strengthens laws]

[If they end up together, the laws strengthen themselves, they become stronger]

[In simpler words, the ending of Xia Lu and Run Long, a devastated one, may not benefit you, but it won't strengthen the laws either]

[However, if they do end up together, the laws with gain another level]

[In this case, although you only gain EXP from Lin Ruan, if you don't want your enemies to become stronger while you also weaken them, earning no result, then you need to make sure that protagonists and heroines don't end up together]

After a very confusing and lengthy explanation, Wei Jun just had one question, and that was, 'Then why do I have to get involved? I will just keep them away from each other.'

[You are weak]

'What?' The system's answer was entirely irrelevant so Wei Jun was dumbfounded for a moment.

[I intend to say that you are weak]

[There's no way that without putting in a lot of effort, you can weaken the work of the world]

[If you just sit on the side and do nothing, thinking that if they don't just end up meeting, it would be fine, then you are wrong]

[They are all strongly connected by destiny]

[They will find each other]

[One way or another]

[Which is exactly why, I advise not sitting on the sidelines and letting the heroines be]

[You should get involved]

[Heavily involved]

'Then, is killing them an option?' Wei Jun asked.

[Of course, it is, but like I said, you're weak]

[You won't be able to defy the work of the world with a few assassinations]

'I see,' was all Wei Jun could say in reply. Although he didn't want to get involved with the heroines too much, now that he was told that the more he weakened the laws, they would again strengthen themselves by bringing the protagonists and heroines, completely undoing his hard work, he had a headache coming.

'It's moments like these that I get angry for coming to this world.' Wei Jun thought as he stood up. The plan was the same. The plan would remain unchanged. He would weaken Run Long connection with Lin Ruan and Quan Li. The only part that was added to the plan was, where he needed to destroy one life, now he needed to destroy some more.
