Bab 5: Chapter-5 Awakening
Zhao Feng, Meng Yue and Xia Changming could be seen standing in front of a shop with the initials 'R&T'' written in bold letters on top of the door. There were two burly guards standing on both sides of the glass door.
"Welcome to the Raymond Thesaurus!" The guards bowed a little and opened the door for them.
" Hubby, why don't we go to the movies first? Maybe we can even visit the museum." She didn't want to go inside this store.
"No, let's get what we need first, then we'll do it according to your plan." Zhao Feng wanted to get rid of his weakness as soon as possible because he couldn't afford to take any chances after regaining his life.
Meng Yue made an awkward face but nodded anyway.
They both entered the store, with Changming following behind. Inside the store was nothing special, a simple design with a lot of stones displayed on shelves all over the store. There was an old man sitting on the counter in traditional cowboy clothes; he had his eyes closed and his feet on the counter table.
Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes, looking at the old man; he could feel his senses tingling, warning him to be careful around the old man.
"Young man, you shouldn't stare at strangers." Spoke the old man, who said still had his eyes closed as he warned Feng.
"Sorry, sir." Zhao Feng bowed a little.
"A sorry won't cut; leave both the women here." The old man opened his eyes, looking at the girls.
'Huh?'
" Sorry sir, I can't do that." Zhao Feng stopped bowing and looking at the old man with a cold look.
" Ohh! Do you think you can stop me from taking them?" The old man had an amusing smile as he released his pressure, locking it onto Feng.
With an invisible wave of pressure, Feng's legs became jelly, forcing him to his knees.
Zhao Feng bit his lips, waking his body with pain. He tried to stand up, but he was only able to put his left leg into the floor. Looking at the young man struggling to stand up even after failing again and again, he had a wide smile on his face.
" Hmm, how will you defend them, if you can't even stand properly?" said the old man as he withdrew his pressure.
Huff… huff…
Feng's t-shirt was drenched in sweat, blood dripping down his lips, Meng Yue, who was seeing all this from the sidelines, had tears in her eyes; and Changming was a little absentminded.
Zhao Feng didn't know how to answer his question.
"Uncle, I hate you!"
His smile stiffened by the sudden declaration of Meng Yue. He looked at his niece, and seeing her teary face, he couldn't keep his calm face.
"Baby, look, Uncle can explain, I had to do it, you know the society is very corrupt, what if he's taking advantage of you?" He quickly rushed to her side, trying to explain his motive.
' Bullsh*t ' Zhao Feng was sure that wasn't the old man's only reason, why? because any normal human would have passed out under his pressure.
Zhao Feng finally stood up with his shaky legs and said," Yue, don't blame your uncle, and look, I'm okay." Although her uncle did go a little overboard, still he cannot blame him for his weakness.
"Hubby!" Meng Yue ignored her uncle, rushing to his side.
Tsk*
The old man felt annoyed looking at his niece caring for an outsider.
"Hey, take this." He threw a small metal bottle toward Feng, who caught it easily.
"What's this? Yue" Zhao Feng felt curious looking at the golden liquid inside the bottle.
"Hubby, it's a healing potion. Quickly drink it." She urged him to drink it as soon as possible.
Listening to her, he took a sip from the bottle.
Spit*
He instantly spewed out the liquid while making a face of complete disgust.
"Tsk, tsk, young people nowadays are so soft; how can you like such a man who can't even drink a simple potion? Baby, I think you should break up with him, there are many pretty boys in the world, we can even try-
"UNCLE!!!"
"Ok-Ok. Hey, if you can't even drink a simple drink, then you better break up with her."
"U-N-C-L-"
"Bye!" He quickly exited the store, before his niece lashed out at him. After he left, a few seconds later, a young woman wearing a black suit, sunglasses, and an earpiece walked in and bowed in front of them.
"Young miss, Sir Nile said you can take whatever you want from the store." After delivering the old man's words, she went to the counter and took her seat.
Looking at Zhao Feng, kept staring at the golden liquid with a conflicted face, "Hubby, you don't have to drink it." She had seen people throw up; heck, she even saw some pass out just from drinking a low level potion, what her uncle had given him was a high level one.
'Tsk, that old bastard. One day I'll definitely pay you back.' He gave one last glance to the bottle before chucking it down in one sweep.
Clink*
The bottle fell to the ground while Zhao Feng made a disgusted face; if he were in a cartoon, then his face would be changing colours every second.
Suddenly he felt a burning sensation in his stomach, and remembering this nostalgic feeling again, he formed a smile on his face. He immediately sat on the floor in a meditation posture.
'Let's try the new technique.' At the time of his tribulation, he had comprehended a technique during the last few seconds of his previous life.
' Yin is the beginning, Yang is the end, and I, who move in between, am nothing but a part of the flow.' He kept repeating the mantra in his mind.
Whoosh!
All the mana stones in the store began to disintegrate, leaving behind an abundance of mana, which flew in the direction of Zhao Feng, specifically towards his stomach.
Like a vortex, his body kept absorbing the incoming mana, and soon he could feel a sphere forming inside his stomach.
Whoosh!
A shockwave of mana flew from his body in every direction, after which his body stopped absorbing the mana. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Meng Yue, who was rushing to hug him. Before she could even come close, she instantly stopped. She felt a little nauseous and backed up a few steps.
Zhao Feng understood her reasons, as he himself could smell that familiar disgusting odour which made him chuckle from nostalgia.
"Yue, does the store have a shower room?"
She nodded while pointing in its direction.
"Can you bring me a change of clothes and XL underwear?"
"Alright."
30 minutes later,
Zhao Feng walked out of the bathroom wearing black jeans with a white t-shirt and a black denim jacket over it. He was wearing black slippers instead of shoes.
"What happened to you?" Zhao Feng was startled as Meng Yue kept staring at him; even Changming was sneakily peeking at his face from time to time.
"Hubby! You are super handsome!"
" Thank you, but I know."
"No! Argh! How do I say that?!"
"You are super duper handsome." She cannot describe his handsomeness, as before his awakening he was comparable to an artefact, but after his awakening he became a divine item.
" Alright, Alright, you can look at this handsome face anytime you want." How can she reject such a lucrative offer, She quickly nodded, taking him up on the offer.
"So, where do you want to go next?" He had already reached his goal, even better, he had already awakened his core simultaneously, so he was free for the rest of the day, and what better way to spend your day than with beautiful women?
" Let's go to the…"
After spending the whole day in the company of Meng Yue, he was laying down on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Finally, I can use it." He had seen many players bragging about it, now he could also do it.
"System."
To Be Continued…
In a conference room, two old men were sitting opposite to each other, they both had similar features but one was much younger than the other.
"So big brother, how was he?"
The other man had a grinning face as if remembering something interesting, " He didn't pass out from experiencing my pressure."
" Impossible! " The man couldn't believe what he just heard. How can it be possible for a normal human to withstand the pressure of an awakened veteran like his older brother, it's like a rabbit fighting against a lion and winning, a pure fantasy that he heard directly from his big brother.
"Alright, what happened to the power stone supply?" The old man asked in a serious tone.
"Sigh, brother, they are refusing to give their power stone."
"Looks like the world has forgotten about this old man." He released his pressure, suddenly all the glass windows shattered, while people in the vicinity felt the true horror of the pressure.
