[System health scan complete. No physical abnormalities detected. Host's dizziness is likely the result of psychological suggestion.]"Are you genuinely this dense, or is it an act?" Ryan rolled his eyes at the notification.He took a breath and forced himself to think clearly.The situation was obvious now that he laid it out. Every skill and technique he'd acquired so far was high-grade.... which was great for combat, terrible for his wallet. High-grade meant high costs. And right now, his exchange coin balance was a devastating 3.5.It all came down to currency. It always came down to currency."System," Ryan said, "besides reading novels, what other ways are there to earn exchange coins?"[Dear host, in addition to extracting cultivation techniques and skills from novels, exchange coins can also be obtained by hunting spirits and ominous creatures. The amount rewarded scales with the target's level.][Additionally, rare materials and items of collectible value can be recycled for

The two settled on the details, and after Ryan transferred a $30,000 deposit, the rusty iron sword was officially... nominally... his."Heh." Ryan closed his phone and leaned back with a grin. "Picking up treasures with my eyes closed. I'll be laughing in my sleep tonight."Then something clicked in the back of his mind."Oh right.... I never finished the third volume of 'King of Cultivation.'"He'd meant to read it right after buying it, but then came the trip to the black market with Danny and Rachel, the potions, the crash into bed, the awakening ceremony the next morning, the follow-up examination in the afternoon, Director Lee showing up in the evening, and then the whole online shopping spiral. The book had just... slipped through the cracks.Ryan walked over to his bookshelf and pulled out Volume Three of The King of the Immortal Cultivation World.He flipped to the title page."The Heavenly Emperor is reborn, and all bow low. The cultivation world trembles in unprecedented uph

"A divine iron sword? What on earth is that?"Curiosity got the better of Ryan, and he clicked on the user's profile.Turns out they were from Southern City... same as him. And right there on their homepage was a photo of the very sword they'd been raving about on the forum.It was... not impressive. The blade was rusty, chipped in several places, and looked like it had survived three wars and lost all of them. The design was ancient and bare-bones. Its only saving grace was the sword's surface... covered in intricate, mysterious runes that seemed almost out of place on such a battered piece of metal.The comment section had already devolved into chaos."Bro, you want $500,000 for this hunk of scrap? Are you insane?""If that sells for half a million, my grandma's kitchen knife is worth a billion.""Did you wander off a movie set? Take that thing to the antique market!""Here's five bucks. Use it to move to Western Province."+1 +1 +1...The post had gone viral in minutes, and the moc

"Hmm... I think purchasing some resources to strengthen my physical quality will help improve things." Ryan said after thinking for a moment.There were also considerations involved. Firstly, he was not an Awakened individual and had no supernatural abilities. The only way to become stronger was through the system.Therefore, the cultivation methods that Mr. Hartwell just mentioned were actually not very effective for him.Looking at the current situation, the only things that could help him were the potions that improved his physical condition.Mr. Hartwell nodded and said. "That is right. Let us start with physical foundation. No matter what your supernatural ability is, you will not be at a disadvantage."Then Mr. Hartwell clicked on the website's Pharmaceuticals section.A wide variety of medicines were displayed, and their effects after use were also diverse."For improving physical quality, Iron Copper Spirit, Vajra Power Pill, and Steel Bone Paste these are all very good." Mr.

Mr. Hartwell looked surprised. "I thought you knew. Look at the top right corner."Upon hearing this, Ryan finally saw the words "Awakened Level" at the top right corner of the website.Ryan frowned and said. "If that is the case, does it mean that Awakened-level users can only buy Awakened-level items and cannot buy items from higher-level users?"Ryan had not expected this restriction, and he was also somewhat worried about it.It was important to know that he was not an Awakened One. Strictly speaking, he was a cultivator.If a level requirement was mandatory here, Ryan would have no choice but to reluctantly use his father's account for now but what about the future.Mr. Hartwell shook his head and said. "That is not it. Only the forum is mandatory for level allocation. You can buy items freely, but the discounts vary. I set it up for convenience to show only Awakened-level products."After Mr. Hartwell explained, Ryan roughly understood how the website worked, and he also underst

Director Lee once again praised Mrs. Hartwell's cooking skills and then prepared to leave.As the host, Mr. Hartwell naturally saw him off. The two long-lost classmates chatted for a while outside the door before the car engine's roaring sound started.Sometimes fate is just so unpredictable. Two once equally spirited and talented students—one now confined to this small town as an interesting yet scholarly professor, while the other achieved his ideals, although his initial values had more or less shifted.A moment later, a weary-looking Mr. Hartwell returned from outside, while Mrs. Hartwell was already in the kitchen washing the dishes.Mr. Hartwell walked straight to Ryan, who was sitting on the sofa staring blankly at the bank card with "a huge sum of money" on it."Tell me what happened." Mr. Hartwell said helplessly.Some things could be concealed from others, but as Ryan's father, he naturally needed to know the truth."Uh..." Ryan suddenly hesitated, facing the person who knew

"You...you dare to hit me..." The man released Ryan's collar, took a step back, covered half of his face with one hand, pointed at Ryan with the other, and said as if unable to belief someone would dare to hit him in broad daylight."Hit you? Which eye of yours saw me hitting you?" Ryan asked curiously."You...you..." The man was so angry he couldn't speak.His name was Harry, and his father was the district head of the South District of Greenfield City, a proper, nominal-level cadre.To put it bluntly, he was a second-generation official.Given Greenfield City's special status in the country, the position of district head was extremely prestigious.Perhaps it couldn't compare to the sons of high-ranking officials, but at Greenfield University, he was someone who could do whatever he wanted.You could say that at Greenfield University, who wouldn't give Harry some face? But now, this guy actually dared to beat him up in front of so many people. Did he want to die?"Boss.."The boys fo

Leaving Lana's office, Ryan's mind kept replaying Lana's beautiful legs clad in black stockings, and then he thought of her red underwear.Because of the lighting, he couldn't tell what material her underwear was made of, but a woman who liked to wear red underwear meant that she must have a passionate heart.How he came to this fascinating conclusion only the God knows.Most women like that need a man's comfort, otherwise, why wouldn't she be angry after he said such bold things, and instead make such a request?Class monitor? Hehe, is it that hard to become a class monitor? As for being named an outstanding class, that's even easier! All I have to do is find my aunt and have her give the principal some money. Getting a small outstanding class title like that will be a piece of cake.Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Ryan's lips.Ryan walked into the classroom smugly, only to find the two rows of boys in front of him staring at him menacingly, as if they wanted to devour him

That little brat! He actually peeked at my underwear! Doesn't he know I'm his teacher? It's one thing to secretly see it, but to actually say it out loud? Does he even respect me as his teacher?Lana was filled with hatred. She had been a teacher for several years and had never had a student disregard her like this before. Especially when she thought of Ryan's unbridled gaze, she felt even more furious."Ryan...you...you actually dared to flirt with the teacher...do you know you're wrong?" Lana rebuked angrily."Teasing the teacher? Teacher, you're wronging me! When did I ever harass you?" Ryan looked utterly aggrieved."You said I was wearing... wearing red underwear, isn't that flirting?" Lana said coldly, but a blush involuntarily appeared on her face."Teacher, I was just telling the truth, how is that considered flirting? Is telling the truth a mistake?Ryan was almost crying with grievance on his face. What kind of teacher is this? So unreasonable?"Then...you shouldn't have pee

"My aunt said she had already registered me, and I could just come today...""Your aunt? Your name is Ryan?" Lana thought for a moment and then said, "There was only one person who didn't come yesterday, and that was Ryan. The school had already informed him of this.""Ohh..., teacher, you know me? Don't you think my name is impressive and memorable?" Ryan was taken aback but didn't forgot to flirt...Lana rolled her eyes. The name was as ordinary as it could be."I am your class teacher, Lana...""Wow, Lana, what a beautiful name! Teacher, you're not only beautiful, but even your name is so beautiful. To be your student is truly a blessing I've accumulated over three lifetimes. Come on, let me give you a hug…"Ryan's face showed an exaggerated expression, and then, taking advantage of Lana's unpreparedness, he stretched out his arms and hugged her instantly.He intimately felt the softness of Lana's chest against his chest. Before Lana could recover, he had already released his arms,

Penelope's hand jerked, and she nearly crashed into the guardrail beside her.This little rascal wasn't he being a bit too straightforward? They had only met yesterday, and today he wanted her to be his girlfriend? Was it really that simpleminded?She had intended to refuse outright, but then something occurred to her.While driving, Penelope asked, "Why do you want me to be your girlfriend? Natasha is way prettier than me, and also she's about your age. You should go after her not me...""Pfft, that girl calls herself pretty? She's so cold and aloof, and her face is so pale it's scary too look…just like a corpse. Does someone like that even count as pretty?""Penny, let's be honest. In terms of looks, she doesn't even measure up to a tenth of you. When it comes to demeanour, a hundred of her wouldn't hold a candle to you. Even if I were an idiot, I wouldn't be stupid enough to turn down someone as great as you and choose a stiff-as-a-board girl instead."Ryan curled his lip in utter

It was the month of September, and autumn had already arrived silently without any incident.Although the mornings in Greenfield City were still relatively cool, but golden sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing Ryan in warmth and making him feel cozy all over. He opened his eyes, still half-asleep, and found himself lying in a bed filled with a sweet fragrance.This… this seemed to be his aunt's bed?Suddenly, a series of sensual images flashed through Ryan's mind.I... Last night, my aunt seemed to have helped me... Realizing that possibility, Ryan broke out in a cold sweat. How could I have done that with my aunt?And... it seemed like... Glancing to the side, he saw that there was no one else on the huge bed besides himself.Ryan let out a slight sigh of relief.Thank goodness, thank goodness my aunt isn't here. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to face her!He noticed a brand-new set of clothes had already been laid out by the bedside, and even his
