"Haha what is it Ye boy, why the serious face"
"Check these costumes out, let me know which one fits your taste."
Carrying a cardboard box full of different superhero costumes.
Batman, spiderman, superman, looking through the costumes Ye Tian's eyes shined brighter and brighter
"Hahaha! Thanks uncle Zhang, I'll take everything!"
Looking through all the costumes, it was only when his eyes landed on a certain one that Ye Tian was sure his plan would succeed
*If only I awakened my powers as early as this in my past life, I could have used this opportunity to take the lead in the search for relics*
Thinking of the upcoming city lord's party, Ye Tian knew that if his plan was successful, he would get nothing less than C-level strength.
And given the fact that awakenings were still rare occurrences before the one-month deadline
Apart from some heavy weapons, Ye Tian was almost invincible. However, just almost.
In his last life, the 'God chosen' people chosen by various Gods as apostles each possessed extraordinary power even at this time.
And there were exaggerated rumours that as early as when the great awakening happened, they were some B-level apostles.
Adam apostle of Jesus, Having A-level strength and holding the Longinus spear,
Just six months after the global awakening, half of Europe could be said to have fallen under his control.
Magnus chase, Champion of Odin with Gungnir in his hand, and Sleipnir as his trusty steed no enemy could escape his might
Elizabeth Swan, Apostle of Angel Gabriel nicknamed the miracle saint capable of reviving those who just died and healing almost all injuries
According to records, she got healing capabilities had reached an unprecedented SSS-level
And unfortunately for Ye Tian, each of their chosen Gods had given them beforehand information on the existence of relics
Because of that, Ye Tian knew how much he needed to regain his former powers if he wanted to stop what happened in the past from repeating itself.
Now it was a race against time, to see who was faster and stronger.
A rebirth with future knowledge and cheat-like abilities, or a God chosen with an almighty God as his backer.
*Cough- cough*
Just as Ye Tian was thinking about his future opponents, Zhang Yuan's cough came into his ears
"Ahem Ye boy, that'll be Fifty yuan"
Looking at the spaced-out Ye Tian, Zhang Yuan couldn't help remind him about his money.
"And don't tell me you don't have, if that's the case then come work for me for a bit"
Hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Ye Tian had a wry smile plastered on his face.
According to his memory, this wasn't the first time or second time that Zhang Yuan had asked him to work for him
If he remembered correctly, at this point in time Zhang Yuan should have noticed his financial issues, and as a friend of his parents wanted to help jom out
And having him work for him would be the only way to give him money without hurting his pride.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian felt a warm feeling in his chest.
How long has it been since he felt such a feeling?
Thousands of years of wandering alone in the universe and betrayals had left Ye Tian's heart hardened.
With the increase in strength, lifespan also increases.
Unfortunately, most of the people closer to Ye Tian were either untalented or died during the early struggles of global awakening.
This then resulted in Ye Tian being alone.
*However this time it's all going to change!*
*As long as my plans are all successful, then all my desires shall be fully realised!*
Strengthening his determination Ye Tian took out a fifty yuan bill from his pocket.
"Here you go uncle Zhang, and don't worry about me"
"I've found a solution to my money problems, so it's alright. Thanks for the job offer tho"
Giving a big smile on his face, Ye Tian casually poked apart Zhang Yuan's plans
Obviously, his plan to recruit Ye tian had failed.
"Haha what are you talking about"
"The old man just needs someone to help about since the shop is always busy"
"Can you imagine how much strain it puts on an old man's back when their so many customers"
Laughing embarrassedly, Zhang Yuan quickly denied it. Just kidding, how could he admit it?
Blaming his need to hire on the business on the shop, Zhang Yuan felt his lie was flawless.
Unfortunately, he forgot one crucial fact, his shop was almost always empty.
Seeing this, Ye Tian felt more and more that he should help Zhang Yuan out.
*That's it, I've decided I'll get him a relic if I can*
*After all, relics can be used by everyone even non-awakeners although some penalties might be imposed*
Making a mental note, Ye Tian picked up the box of costumes and prepared to leave.
"Haha sure thing uncle Zhang, I believe you"
"Goodbye, I have to hurry up and prepare. The party will soon start."
Not giving him a chance to react, Ye Tian quickly left his store and went to get other supplies for his plan ready.
...
[City B Central Park]
Currently, the whole park was lively as different kinds of decorations were being hung everywhere.
Balloons, steamers, tapes, fireworks, and all kinds of party supplies were being set highlighting the event's spectacular nature.
A high stage stood in the centre of the park with giant twin speakers on each side.
Security personnel in black suits wandered all around to make sure nothing was amiss both inside the park and at the entrance.
Judging from the looks of things, it was obvious that the party was about to start.
Guests had already begun to line up at the park entrance
Reporters had already begun to gather hoping to get a huge scoop from this event while others prepared to stream it live
V.i.P. guests led by security had already begun to make their way into the park
Everything seemed all but ready, apart from a missing Ye Tian.
