Protect Our Chief

Chapter 9: Me! Cheat

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

…

Other transmigrators all had a cheat system. As long as they called for the system inwardly, they could use all kinds of data panels.

However, even without the help of the cheat system, Wang Shouzhe was no longer afraid. After the experience of his Sixth Uncle, Wang Dinghai, he gradually realized that he was vastly different from the “natives” of this world in terms of outlook and thinking.

For example, before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary graduate from a second-tier university. He had been a normal member of the working class for a few years. On Earth, he was just an unremarkable person among countless.

Putting kindergarten aside, he had spent six years in primary school, six years in middle school, and four years in university! The duration of professional and systematic learning alone spanned 16 years. From literature, music, language, philosophy, astronomy, geography, history, politics, mathematics, science, chemistry, and so on…

Most of the knowledge had probably already sunk into the underlying memory in his brain, but it was precisely this large amount of knowledge that he could not recall at the moment that formed Wang Shouzhe’s unique vision, logic and thinking, which were more outstanding than that of the natives.

In addition, before he transmigrated, all kinds of web novels, short videos, and information had already multiplied to the limit. He could swipe his phone until the sky turned dark, and swipe it until the sky turned bright without realizing.

Every day, some strange knowledge points silently increased in him.

“Maybe these are my cheat,” Wang Shouzhe muttered, his eyes shining. “As for the system interface, it’s not difficult to solve it. At most, I can just build a crude interface that needs to be updated and maintained regularly.”

Some third-rate construction-related online game interfaces from games he had played before could be used as the reference for the interface mode.

However, before building the interface, he had to personally understand the structure of the entire clan and the specific details. Although he had fused with the memories of his previous self, his previous self was only 18 years old.

He spent a lot of time studying and cultivating, so he knew very little about the clan’s affairs.

He only knew that the most important supporting industries of the family were three farms. They were “Bountiful Farm”, “Prosperous Farm”, and “Flourishing Silkworm Farm”. The importance of these three farms to the family far exceeded that of the fishing fleet.

The harvest of every farm was extremely important to the clan, thus the three big farms were currently managed by the three experienced elders of the clan with the generation name “Xiao”.

Today, Wang Shouzhe decided to pay a visit to the Bountiful Farm, which was relatively nearby. It was overseen by Elder Wang Xiaozhi, who was a member of the “Xiao” generation.

“Wang Gui, prepare the carriage,” Wang Shouzhe ordered after making up his mind.

Wang Gui acknowledged and quickly left to prepare.

Wang Shouzhe, on the other hand, walked unhurriedly towards the main entrance. At the same time, his mind did not stop thinking about some matters regarding the Bountiful Farm. Just as he reached the courtyard, he heard a cute female voice call out, “Hello, Fourth Brother.”

Wang Shouzhe looked over and saw two girls, one big and one small, standing not far away. The older one was at the prime of her youth. She wore a light blue martial outfit and looked quite pretty.

The younger one looked like she was only 11 or 12 years old. Her hair was braided, and she also dressed up quite pretty. It was just that she hid behind the older girl as she was timid. However, she couldn’t help but peek at Wang Shouzhe curiously.

What was even more peculiar was that the two girls each carried a large, oddly shaped chest that appeared somewhat heavy. They each carried a sword in their hands as well, as if they were about to leave.

“So it’s Fourth Sister Luo Tong and Fifth Sister Luojing.” Wang Shouzhe recognized them at a glance. He smiled and greeted them, “You are both dressed up quite pretty today. Are you going out?”

The older one was called Wang Luotong and she was currently 17 years old. The younger one was called Wang Luojing and was only 12 years old. They were the same as Wang Shouzhe and belonged to the seventh generation of Ancestor Zhouxuan’s descendants.

The women of the Martial Art Clans were different from those in Ancient China. Although their ultimate fate was still marriage, they had a lot of autonomy before marrying. Like men, they received excellent education, cultivated, and could even participate in the clan production and business.

“Fourth Brother.” Wang Luotong bowed again and a trace of surprise flashed her eyes. “The farm is about to be harvested recently. Grandfather is busy and doesn’t have time to come back. I’m bringing Luojing to visit him.”

In Wang Luotong’s impression, her fourth brother, Wang Shouzhe, had always been a serious person. When siblings met, they would at most greet each other before leaving in a hurry. He had never praised them so amiably like this.

Wang Shouzhe recalled that Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing were the granddaughters of the clan elder, their fourth grandfather Wang Xiaozhi. Their father was the fourth son of the Ding generation, Wang Dingbang. However, his fourth uncle, Wang Dingbang, had passed away five years ago.

The sons of Wang Clan had generation names in the order of “Yu”, “Chen”, “Qiong”, “Xiao”, “Ding”, “Shou”, “Zong” and “Shi”. Wang Shouzhe’s father, Wang Dingyue, was the fifth son of the sixth generation, whereas Wang Shouzhe was the fourth son of the seventh generation. However, Wang Dingyue and Wang Shouzhe were both direct descendants, while the rest were only immediate descendants.

On the other hand, the daughters of the Wang Clan had generation names in the order of “Zhu”, “Long”, “Ling”, “Zhen”, “Liu”, “Luo”, “Li”, “Ying”. The current mainstay of the clan, Ancestor Wang Longyan, for instance, was the only third generation Ancestor in the clan that was still alive.

Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing were the fourth and fifth female members of the seventh generation. Madam Gongsun Hui’s daughter, Wang Luomiao, was seventh in sequence. However, similarly, Wang Luomiao was a direct daughter, and had a somewhat different status in the family.

The longer the clan developed, the greater the age gap between those of the same generation name.

For instance, Wang Shouzhe was of the seventh generation with “Shou” or “Luo” generation name. The oldest son, Wang Shouxin, was already 43 years old, and was even older than Wang Dingyue. The youngest seventh generation child, Wang Luolan, was only five years old now.

Other than that, there were quite a number of eighth-generation members with the generation members “Zong” and “Li”. Among them, Wang Zongwei was the oldest and at already 20 years old. However, when he saw other young girls like Wang Luojing and Wang Luolan, he had to address them as aunts too.

Enough digression for now.

Wang Shouzhe thought for a moment and said, “Are you guys walking over? I’m going to take a look at the Bountiful Farm too. How about you guys share a carriage with me?”

He knew that the clan’s life was getting more and more difficult. It was impossible for the two little girls to be specially equipped with traveling carriages, much less clan guards.

It would take them at least two hours to reach the Bountiful Farm. However, this area was the Wang Clan’s territory and was also a well-established, familiar area. There would not be any danger.

Furthermore, as daughters of the Wang family, they were not weak ladies without any strength.

“Thank you, Fourth Brother.” Wang Luotong was a little overwhelmed by the favor and quickly thanked him. Wang Luojing also seemed a little happy and said crisply, “Fourth Brother is so nice.”

“Don’t celebrate too early. Fourth Brother is going to test your studies along the way.” Wang Shouzhe chuckled.

“Ahh…” Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing panicked a bit, especially Wang Luojing. Her beautiful little face fell. She looked like she was wronged and felt that she’d be better off walking over.

Not long after…

Wang Shouzhe’s carriage slowly drove away from the main residence under the protection of the four clan guards riding the buckskin horses. Wang Luojing was still young, and she was very respectful towards Wang Shouzhe. She was a little restless in the carriage, and her subtle gaze occasionally glanced at the snacks on the small table.

As Wang Shouzhe was traveling with his two younger sisters, he had just asked Wang Gui to get some fruits and candied plums and placed them on the small square table in the middle of the carriage.

“Luotong, your aura seems to have stabilized at the peak of the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. How long has it been? Are you preparing to break through?” Wang Shouzhe handed over a washed sweet melon and asked casually. Arcane Martial Artists all learned some Qi observation techniques. In particular, when there was a large gap between their cultivation realms, they were usually able to easily determine the other party’s cultivation level.

As a girl, Wang Luotong was able to cultivate to such a level at the age of around 17. It was obvious that her aptitude was not bad and she worked rather hard.

“Thank you, Fourth Brother.” Wang Luotong took the sweet melon and replied cautiously, “It’s already been more than two months, and I’m doing some meticulous work. Grandfather said that I should be able to break through in only about three months.”

When he heard this, Wang Shouzhe’s brows immediately furrowed. “This is too much of a waste of time. Why don’t you use the Small Essence Enhancing Pill to help you break through? According to the clan rules, you have the right to claim one.”

“That’s…” Wang Luotong lowered her head and said nervously, “Grandfather said that the clan’s resources are too tight right now, and we will have to wait for some time before we can have the Small Essence Enhancing Pill.”

“That’s not it at all.” Wang Luojing pouted. “Grandfather said that Brother is already at the peak of the third level and needs the Small Essence Enhancing Pill more than Sister.”

“Luojing, don’t talk nonsense.” Wang Luotong said anxiously.

“Luojing, go on.” Wang Shouzhe’s expression was rather serious. “Did Wang Shounuo bully you two? If that’s the case, Fourth Brother will teach him a lesson.”

He knew that Wang Shounuo was their biological brother and was about 20 years old in the present.
