Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The front desk lady at Jiahua Hotel was wearing a business attire with a short skirt. She stood there with a standard, courteous stance.
She saw a young man walking in with many bags of various sizes. She smiled and said, “Welcome to Haiqin Jiahua Hotel.”
Chen Chuan glanced at the pricing of the rooms and noted that the luxurious suite cost 2,700 Yuan a night. He requested one.
The room number was 5107, and when he got to his room, he slotted in the keycard to activate the power. Brilliant light illuminated the room.
The magnificent European style decor, paired with the warm lighting as well as the 3D speakers playing comforting music in the back only elevated his mood. It was only further enhanced since he was at the 51st floor with a view of the ocean. He could see and enjoy the night view of both the city and the beach.
He took off his clothes and went to the bathroom for a shower.
Without hesitation, he withdrew the [Body Refining Vermillion Fruit] in the shower room and swallowed it.
He closed his eyes and let the darkness take over.
Blood was boiling inside of him. He could almost feel the cells in his body growing.
“I can reconstruct myself as I see fit, yes? Ok then. Let’s modify the important parts to the best possible way!”
After an unknown amount of time later, a new body was constructed. Every cell, nerve, blood, bones, and even hair were made anew.
Chen Chuan opened his eyes and observed his new body in the mirror. His body was now proportionally perfect, and his face was flawless. He turned to the other cheek and observed his face. His face was truly perfect, impeccable, faultless.
Chen Chuan blinked, and his consciousness returned completely. At that instant, he felt that this was the body of a true youth. A body that was active with muscles filled with power and energy.
His face was extremely familiar. That was because he designed his current looks based on his own image from the original world and combined it with the aspect of “Chen Chuan” in this world. Back in the original world, he was already handsome to begin with. Hence, after adjusting the features of his look, he became a truly handsome man.
“Restructuring by [Body Refining Vermillion Fruit] has been completed.
“You have obtained a new body. Your overall physique has evolved and reached the best of your race.
“Obtained maxed Jumping strength.”
“Obtained maxed Endurance.”
Messages were flooding into his mind.
Based on his current appearance, the feeling one would get was that he was Chen Chuan. Even though he was already handsome to begin with, he had only just become more handsome.
Be it his overall look, charm, or physique, he had basically obtained an upgrade in all aspects. His limbs were proportionally, harmonically perfect.
He checked the time and discovered that it was already eight in the evening.
Chen Chuan went down to check out of the hotel. He returned the room card to the front desk.
The female front desk receptionist could not help but raise her head to look at him.
“Hello there, I’m here to check out,” Chen Chuan repeated politely after the lady did not respond for some time.
“How did he become handsome?” the front desk receptionist muttered quietly to herself. She then quickly registered what she had just said and hastily responded, “I’m sorry, sir! I’ll do the check-out procedure.”
After that, she retrieved the room card with both hands from the top of the desk and continued with the check-out procedure.
On the way home, during the car ride, Chen Chuan looked out of the window. There were city lights flashing vibrantly, a true example of the buzzling city life. Young men and women came in and out from bars. Chen Chuan, even from afar, could feel the presence of alcohol, music, and dancing, as well as the other trendy lifestyles of youths.
On the following day at ten in the morning, Chen Chuan ordered a car ride and came to Jinshi Square. It was the day his high school class was having their graduation banquet.
There were already many students gathered on the first floor of the square.
“Chen Chuan, you’re here,” someone greeted. Many greeted him as he came.
Chen Chuan did fist-bumps with many of the male students. It was considered a greeting.
He walked to Du Hao’s side and strongly gave him a punch on his shoulder.
At the instant his hands touched Du Hao’s shoulder, he felt a message come into his mind.
“[Copy] has been activated. Contact target [Du Hao]. Obtained special tool [Expenditure Cash Return]. Item has been stored in the [Spirit Storage Ring]. Simultaneously, the effect of the original tool has been weakened.”
Done!
Chen Chuan went to the side and examined the item inside the [Spirit Storage Ring].
[Expenditure Return: On your next expenditure, based on the amount of money spent, you will receive a percentage of cash return. Note that the cash return will go through legal procedures before it is returned to you.]
‘I’ve copied the tool [Expenditure Cash Return]. This seems like a good tool.’
Chen Chuan was happy. He was going to be earning more money.
Everyone gathered for a while on the first floor before they went upstairs together.
Everyone was excited for the gathering as the “Trident” of the class, because the three most beautiful women, Zhou Qi, the class representative, and Wang Lixin, were attending the banquet.
The entire group came to the third floor. There, Wang Lixin pulled Zhou Qi to a corner and whispered, “Zhou Qi, have you done it with Chen Chuan?”
Zhou Qi blew the hair that was afloat on her forehead and said, “Done it? As a matter of fact, I broke up with him.”
“You guys broke up? Why?”
“No reason. We broke up, just like that,” said Zhou Qi as if there was something she did not want to talk about. The matter actually embarrassed her as it was Chen Chuan who had proactively sent her the breakup text message.
The class representative came over and asked, “What are you guys talking about?”
Zhao Qi lowered her voice suddenly and said to the other two, “I’m going to tell you guys a secret. Lately, I’ve gotten bored and started live streaming! Somehow, it’s pretty interesting.”
“Is that so? Where? What is your channel number? I will join the room to support you!” said the class representative.
Zhao Qi smiled mysteriously and said, “It’s a secret. I don’t reveal my face when I do the live stream. Besides, I’m still rather obscure. I will tell you when I get a little famous.”
…
Chen Chuan was behind the crowd. After being strengthened by the [Body Refining Vermillion Fruit], his hearing senses become sharper. He could hear Du Hao say to the others around him. He said, “You guys head up. I’m going to buy something for a bit.”
After that, he saw Du Hao go into a Longines Watch shop on the third floor.
Chen Chuan knew that Du Hao had obtained the [Expenditure Cash Return] and surely, he was going to buy himself a watch to earn a profit.
That reminded Chen Chuan about him copying the [Expenditure Cash Return]. Since he had 150,000 Yuan in his account, he could buy himself a watch as well.
