Chapitre 48: Experiences Throughout The Years (Part 2)
So I Stole
...
Unlike in the servant quarters, where everyone was older and more experienced than me as well as ruthless and scheming.
This place was full of spoiled children who were naive and didn't know anything.
It was here that I could use all my experiences in the past year to my benefit.
So I did just that.
...
I began my hustle through something I was quite familiar with, Fighting.
Although everyone here knew I was the strongest in my age group, It definitely irked some people, and I was sure of that.
Therefore I gave them an opportunity to defeat me, and resolve their grievance.
However I knew that no one, even dumb brats, would willingly bet a penny on a 1 Vs 1 against me, as they knew it was hopeless.
So to give them incentive, I allowed a simple rule which I knew would make those, arrogant, bloodline-obsessed fucks, grin from joy...
I allowed Multiple people to fight me at once...
...
This was an idea which provided me multiple benefits alongside easily earning me a large amount of money; It is the representation of the saying, 'Killing Two Birds With One Stone'.
I knew that with this on the table, The Bloodline-Supremacists would be unable to turn their backs to it,
Not only have I taunted all the people who look down on non-blood related members.
I have also gave them a way to suppress me, as if they do defeat me, I will lose my resources due to me betting it.
Due to these factors, I will surely be able to attract a lot of people, however that isn't the only thing I can achieve from this...
I can use this to stand out among the rest.
How could the higher ups ignore someone like me, who is destroying most of the younger generation singlehandedly?
The only reason I am not a personal disciple or getting any particular special treatment is due to the uncertainty of what grade my spirit roots will be,
In fact, The reason why nobody helped me whilst I was stuck in the Servant quarters was because my spirit roots were still an uncertainty; Who would needlessly offend a faction, for a brat that could end up being a cripple?
Plus, I had also realised after a while of being exposed to schemes, that me going to the servant hall and escaping so easily, may not have been due to just my luck and skill...
If someone like me, who wasn't someone blood related, got left to train in the family and dominate the younger generation, then it may breed disharmony between the members.
And even if after all this, I had only been able to awaken a bad spirit root, then It wouldn't have been worth it.
Therefore they probably all agreed to send me there, so that I would fall behind for other members to catch up...
and therefore I would be left to eat shit in the academy that is already infested with discrimination and oppression against branch family members, So could you imagine how bad it would be for me if I hadn't been underestimated?
However, If I am able to have a decent spirit root, on top of incredible talent in combat. Wouldn't I instantly become someone who will be greatly valued by the Chan Family, regardless of Bloodline?
Through that I would be able to use the Chen Family to gains strength and build connections, to help with my mission.
And so i done just that...
...
By a couple months in, I was already rolling in the pocket money (Herbs) of all the rich brats, and was starting to be treated better by the adults around me.
However, My greed started to grow.
I planned more ways of gaining wealth,
Scamming, Betting between matches, Gambling.
I had accumulated so much, from these gullible kids that hadn't been exposed to such devious means, that I began to get arrogant.
But alas, Just like Icarus, I had flew too high and was fated to fall at some point.
And Fallen... I had.
...
Due to my new confidence, I had started to get careless.
Although I had learnt from previous times that arrogance breeds error, After being accustomed to everything working out for me over a while.
I had grown lax.
And this had led me to lose everything I had built up.
...
At some point, I thought it would be a good idea to expand my portfolio, so I started selling things that kids from my previous world were absolutely hooked on.
I got people to make simple versions of fidget spinners, and as you would expect, the business was a remarkable success from the first day.
Over the course of one week, I had made so much, that I was unable to count everything!
I felt like God Of Wealth!
However there was one issue with my fidget spinner, which caused me to be harshly punished due to the manipulation of the Jealous Bastards.
It was a rule in the academy that almost everything goes, however one thing that must not be infringed upon was, Training!
Due to my fidget spinner, It was found out that people couldn't focus too well and henceforth had a harder time training.
After the higher ups found out for this, they were furious.
So I was pulled up for it and, although it would usually result in a warning and small punishment, The Bloodline Freaks (Petty Fuckers) made this out to be some sort of scheme to ruin the Chen Family.
Therefore I was forced to fork over everything I had made over the 5 months, and had my access to resources cut for 3 months.
Maybe this was their plan all along.
Through this misery, I have understood that...
Greed Truly Does Make A Man Blind.

Author's Note:
Thanks for reading the chapter and I hope you enjoyed.
I do realise that he isn't technically stealing, but rather tricking people. However I changed my mind as I felt that It didn't fit this environment, if someone like Bu Cai who isn't a cultivator or anything, can just blatantly steal from all the other kids.
I felt changing it would make the situation more realistic and also helps Bu Cai further mature as he know understand how greed can really lead to a huge downfall.
