Chapter 58: It's Him
The military won the peanuts.Ethan had listed them in lots of ten, starting bid ten million. The lot walked away for a hundred and ninety million. The Federation's procurement officer stared at the screen for a long time after the hammer fell.General Duo Meng didn't yell. That came later."Dammit." He turned the small bag over in his hand. Ten peanuts. "Nineteen million. Ninety. One hundred and ninety million—for peanuts. If I hadn't jumped the bid at the end I wouldn't even have these."He was swearing, and he wasn't sorry.He waved over ten soldiers. Quick. Strong. Heavy defense. Spirit-types. Ten different builds, ten different Classes, lined up in front of him."Eat one each. Tell me what changes."They shelled them. The two kernels in each skin went down. A hot current moved through each body, fast and sharp, and died away inside of seconds.Then the room started talking over itself."General. Strength. I'm up a hundred jin.""Spirit—up nine.""Defense. Fifty points.""Speed. F
Chapter 57: Eighteen Points
Hongyuan held the cabbage at arm's length and made himself close the lid.A hundred million dollars. If he ate it and gained three points of something useless, the clan would have his skin on the wall. He was not the talent in this family. He was the buyer. The buyer didn't test the merchandise. The buyer wrapped it carefully, locked the desk drawer, and walked it down the hall to the one person who could.The An family had been a name in the Capital for four generations. Not old money—not Liu-family old—and not flashy new. Manager was their Class line, generation after generation, and a Manager ran people the way a conductor runs an orchestra. It was how the clan had survived without a single war-god among them: by buying the right thing, at the right moment, before anyone else understood it was worth buying. Hongyuan's job was to find those things. His brother's job was to spend the clan's fortune on them.The hall to the patriarch's office was quiet. The doors were closed. Nobody g
Chapter 56: The Whole Platform Loses It
He sat down with the listing screen and made himself think, for once, about why he was doing this.He could have stayed in the wilderness. Grown at his own pace. No school, no gravity rooms, no generals ringing bells. He'd weighed it once, on the way up here, and turned it down. The valley was quiet, but quiet in the way a locked room was quiet. He was eighteen, and he had questions—about the rifts, about Song, about why the sky had split open one hundred and twenty years ago and nobody on the street could tell him what was really out there. A boy alone in a field didn't get those answers. A school did.He also had a problem he couldn't train his way out of. His domain invincibility bought him sixty seconds. Sixty seconds was enough against one target. It was not enough against a wall of them. The day he met something strong enough to survive the domain, or fast enough to outnumber it, raw strength was all he'd have.The school was teaching him how to use it.He looked at the dummy's
Chapter 55: Thirty Thousand Kilograms
Two days. Ten thousand batches. The cauldron ran hot and cool and hot again, and Ethan fed it herbs until his hands smelled of bitter root and his storage bin of raw materials looked like it had gone through a shrink ray. The brews came out uniform, one after another, twenty times the potency of anything a normal Alchemist could bottle. He didn't even have to think about the steps anymore. The Class did them for him.Alchemist Level up: Level 4.Five thousand experience to Level 5. He inventoried what was left. Enough ingredients for a hundred batches, maybe. He did the subtraction once and didn't like it: a hundred batches wasn't five thousand experience points. Not even close.He finished the last batch, stretched until his shoulders cracked, and checked the time. Four in the afternoon.He hadn't tilled in days. He could feel it in his joints, the way a farmer can feel rain coming in his knees.The signature weapon didn't just sit there while he held it. Every swing put a little str
Chapter 54: The Fourth Pupil
The minutes crawled by.Duan Zhao stood on Ye Lu's left, watching him work, arms folded, the way a man watches a pot he's already decided is going to boil. Ye Lu's frown got deeper by the minute. Ethan stood on the right of the picture, watching both of them and not understanding a single thing.Thirty seconds felt like thirty minutes. Half an hour felt like the end of the world. Ye Lu's hand had been resting on Ethan's shoulder the whole time, still, the way you press a palm to a wall to feel if there's anything behind it. There wasn't. There was nothing there. Not the Class, not the talent, nothing he could lift and carry away.Half an hour."Uh." Ethan broke first. "Senior Ye Lu? You done yet? I'm starting to get a crick in my neck."Ye Lu pulled his hand back like he'd been holding it underwater. He shook it out, flexed his fingers, and shook his head slowly."That's impossible," he said. "My ability quit on you. I couldn't copy your Class, and I couldn't copy your talent either."
Chapter 53: Teacher Meng
"Now." The old man held up a hand. "You don't need to carry that. I told you because you asked. Forget I said it. Tell me your Class and your abilities. I'll write you a training plan."Ethan told him. Class Farmer, E-rank Verdant Touch, and he walked through the four abilities, keeping the details broad.The old man wrote them down. He read them back. He read them back a second time."Your talent is E-rank?" He looked up. "These abilities don't read like E-rank. Infinite stamina. Invulnerability in a domain. A tenfold harvest—" He shook his head. "Nobody hands out that on an E-rank."He went quiet. Something clicked."You've been selling produce on the trading site the last month or so. The vegetables. The fruit. All over the news feeds."Ethan nodded. "Am I not allowed to sell on the trading site, sir?""Of course you are." The old man waved it off. "I just don't know what to do with you. Your strength is high. Your spirit is high. I'll slot you into strength courses and spirit-cond
