Chapter 26: Southern Edge Dojo
There are a lot of spots in the game where a person can find strange items. Some of them are super useful while some of them are…Weird. However, since Jia Hao played with the paid version of the game, he knew many lies and secrets that ordinary players didn’t know.
Soon, he appeared before an old bookstore and walked inside.
” Hmm? Welcome, Young man.” The shopkeeper was an old man who was reading a magazine. ” What do you want?”
” Where I can find the Historical Section?”
” The fifth shelf.” The old man spoke as he resumed reading his newspaper.
Jia Hao walked and saw a shelf full of historical books. There he used his Sage’s Divine Eyes.
[The Records of Revolutions of 19th Century]
[ Island Wars and Effect]
[ War and Peace]
[ My Struggle: A biography of a failed Austrian painter who made a big political career later on. Won Noble Peace Prize later on]
” Hold up?!”
Jia Hao’s face turned strange as he picked up the book. ” Ah, I see… This is the one.”
The book was pretty dusty outside, with signs of pages turning yellow. But for Jia Hao, this book was the one he was trying to find.
” Uncle, I want to buy this book.” Jia Hao spoke as he showed the book to the old man. The old man’s expression changed as he looked at Jia Hao.
” Err…Kid, There are new versions of this book here. How about I give you one of them?”
” No, I want to buy this particular, old one.” Jia Hao shook his head. ” You know, It gives and antique feeling.”
” But, New books are good too.” The old man mumbled. ” How about this? Seeing your enthusiasm, I will give you a discount.”
” Nope, I want to buy this one.” Jia Hao replied stubbornly. ” Here, take the money and I am going.”
” Young man, Wait!” The old man shouted as his expression turned dark. ” I guess you noticed it, right?”
” Oh?”
Jia Hao gave a grin as he flipped open the book pages. With a swift movement, he took out three coupons of Mist Cloud Massage Parlor.
” I remember as long as you have four coupons, you can get one day of free service for everything in that massage parlor?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” I wonder if your wife…”
” Damn it, Shut up already!” The old man shouted. ” Were you sent by that cougar or what?”
” Nope, Uncle. I am just here to buy a book.”
” Fine, Kid, Come and give them back to me.” The old man sighed. ” You know how much I have suffered to collect three of them? Not to mention, hiding them under that cougar’s watchful eyes…”
” Well, Uncle, Why don’t we make a trade?” Jia Hao spoke. ” Give me something like an antique trinket and I will return this to you.”
” Arrgh, Fine.” The old man sighed. ” What a bad morning today. Here, Take this.”
The old man placed an ancient bronze coin on the table. It had intricate patterns with a square hole in the middle.
Jia Hao placed the book down and took the coin hurriedly. ” Thank you, Uncle. See you again later.”
” Damn it!” The old man cursed as he hurriedly hid the coupons. ” Where did this unlucky star came from? And…How did he know about that coin?”
Jia Hao walked to a secluded alley as he looked at the coin.
[ Ancient Ceremonial Coin: It contains some strange energy sealed inside]
‘ In the game, It had a hidden attribute. Once used, it will increase a random talent of yours by two grades.’ Jia Hao thought inwardly. The moment he crushed the coin, he felt a surge of warmth through his body.
[ Strange but pure energy detected! Are you willing to use it to upgrade Sage’s Divine Eyes?]
Jia Hao was surprised as he nodded. His vision darkened as he felt a stinging pain in his eyes. But it slowly subsided after a few moments.
He felt his vision became clearer once again and the world around him became much more vibrant.
To try his upgraded Sage’s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao walked out and gazed at a person.
Name: Jing Han
Age: 28
Remarks: Possesses ordinary strength and a total asset of 500,000 Yuan.
Recent Future: One hour later, He will find his crush eloped with another man.
Jia Hao was stunned as he rubbed his eyes. ” Holy shit! Thi-This is amazing! I can now even see the future of people like this?”
Out of excitement, Jia Hao began to try his new ability more and more. Suddenly, he looked at a girl passing by him and entering a building.
” Ah, Isn’t this Southern Edge Dojo?” Jia Hao paused his steps as he looked at the building. ” This place, One can actually learn martial arts and sword techniques. But too bad, it’s really a slow process.”
” If I didn’t have Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts, I would have come here. But I guess its useless now.” Jia Hao shrugged. But when his eyes fell on the beautiful girl entering the dojo, his expression changed.
[ Name: Jiang Ruoyu]
[ Age: 22]
[Remarks: Practioner of Eight Triagram Palms and Three Styles Sword Art. Daughter of Destiny with a tragic end]
[ Recent Future: One hour later, Due to the opponent’s scheme, She lost her dojo and dignity]
‘ Oh wait, I remember now.’
Jia Hao’s eyes widened when he saw that. He thought only the Su Family was suffering from the bad ending plot. But now, he felt like there were simply too many bad endings here.
With interest, Jia Hao walked into the dojo as he looked at the receptionist.
” Welcome! Have you come here to register in the dojo?”
Before Jia Hao could even speak, the receptionist hurriedly spoke. ” If you join right now, We can give 20%…No, 30% discount.”
” No, I am here to…Uh…Just to look around?”
Jia Hao scratched his head. The receptionist sighed as she slumped back on the chair. ” You also came to watch the duel? Just go to the first floor.”
” Alright…” Jia Hao nodded as he walked to the first floor.
The first floor looked like a traditional dojo with all sorts of traditional equipment. Jia Hao’s eyes fell on the opponent of Jiang Ruoyu who looked like an islander.
[ Name: Azaki Toshi]
[ Age: 32]
[ Remark: Practioner of True Judo. Scumbag villain who preys on women by cheating. Knows about folk medicines]
[ Recent Future Points: By using strength increasing powder on his and aphrodisiac in Jia Ruoyu’s drink, He will win the match]
Then he turned around and looked at an unassuming young man.
[Name: Chen Ye]
[ Age: 20]
[Remark: Comes from an ordinary family. Disciple of Southern Edge Dojo, In love with Jiang Ruoyu]
[Recent Future Events: Three days later, he went to confess his feelings to Jiang Ruoyu. But he would find Jiang Ruoyu getting banged by Azaki inside the dojo, making him a cuck]
” Ah yes, The male lead, huh? What a fucking joke.”
” Azaki thinks he can win the match, huh?” Jia Hao snorted as he walked in.
” Not under my watch.”
