"Flower thief!（Rogue） Stop right there, you bastard!"
Chen Xiaobei Strode out his legs and sprinted out like the wind.
At the sound of his voice, the man at the far end of the corridor immediately took off running. He prided himself on his speed, but no matter how hard he tried—even putting in every ounce of strength he had—Chen Xiaobei still caught up from behind!
"Where do you think you're going?"
Chen Xiaobei reached out with a claw-like grip, grabbed the flower thief by the collar, and lifted him up effortlessly, as if he were holding a chick.
"Uh..."
The flower thief was instantly terrified and dumbfounded. He weighed at least 120 to 130 catties, yet Chen Xiaobei had lifted him with one hand! What kind of monster strength was this?
"Big brother! We have no grudge against each other—please spare my life! I'm begging you..." the flower thief said in a panic.
"Begging me won't work. You can beg the police later." Chen Xiaobei shrugged, about to drag him back.
"Big brother! I'll give you money... I can give you a lot of money!" The flower thief quickly reached into his pocket.
"Heh, money is a good thing, but it can't buy my integrity." Chen Xiaobei smiled faintly.
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Suddenly! The flower thief's eyes turned cold. He pulled a small knife from his pocket and stabbed straight at Chen Xiaobei's chest! It was a sudden move, and they were extremely close. Worst of all, this flower thief was no weakling—his strike was fast and ruthless. Any ordinary person would have been stabbed through the heart!
Unfortunately, he was facing Chen Xiaobei.
"Damn it! You're the one refusing a toast to drink a forfeit!"
A flash of anger flickered in Chen Xiaobei's eyes. His left hand moved at lightning speed, instantly grabbing the flower thief's wrist.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound echoed—the flower thief's wrist was snapped clean!
"Argh! Argh..."
The pain of broken bones was bone-deep. The flower thief howled in agony, his face turning deathly pale, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. At that moment, looking at Chen Xiaobei was like looking at a demon; his eyes were filled with endless fear.
But Chen Xiaobei himself was also shocked, muttering awkwardly: "This strength improvement is terrifying... I accidentally broke his hand..."
Huh?
Accidentally?
Hearing this, the flower thief felt like a million grass-mud horses were galloping through his mind. You have terrifyingly great strength, yet you dare to say it was an accident? My hand isn't made of paper! How could it break so easily?
Of course, he only dared to complain in his heart, not daring to utter a word. Facing a monster like Chen Xiaobei, if he didn't back down, he'd only be abused worse.
"Heh... The effects of cultivation are immediate! Now I'm like a rusty gun replaced by a cannon, a loser turned superman—this feels amazing!"
Chen Xiaobei was delighted, and his determination to keep cultivating grew even stronger.
Afterward, Chen Xiaobei dragged the flower thief back like a dead dog.
The victimized woman called the police. Officers soon arrived to handle the aftermath.
The moment the flower thief was cuffed, two messages popped up:
Ding—Eliminated an evildoer. Three Realms Merit +101.
Ding—Congratulations! You've upgraded to "Kind Person"! Current Three Realms Merit: 100. You need 900 more to reach the next level!
"Damn! This actually works too?"
Chen Xiaobei froze, hardly able to believe it. This happiness came too suddenly! Previously, saving one person only earned 1 merit point, but today, catching a flower thief actually gave 101?
"By the way, what benefits come with upgrading to 'Kind Person'?" Chen Xiaobei wondered, full of curiosity.
Ding—Kind Person (Charm +10, Luck +10).
Ding—Charm: Makes it easier for others to feel goodwill and trust toward you.
Ding—Luck: Merit protects you, good fortune accompanies you, smoothing your affairs and reducing disasters.
"Damn! This upgrade is awesome!"
Chen Xiaobei was overjoyed: "Increased charm can make me a heartthrob loved by everyone! Increased luck can make everything go smoothly with no disasters! Good deeds bring good rewards! It seems I need to do more good things in the future!"
"Sir, hello."
At that moment, a young policewoman walked over.
"Yes, hello. What can I do for you?" Chen Xiaobei responded politely.
The moment their eyes met, a blush appeared on the policewoman's face. First, because Chen Xiaobei, this fresh-faced heartthrob, was really quite handsome. Second, she inexplicably felt a magnetic allure from him, drawing her gaze irresistibly.
"Officer? Why are you spacing out?" Chen Xiaobei kept a serious face, but his heart was soaring. With just 10 charm points, the effect was already so obvious. If he leveled up more, wouldn't every woman fall in love with him at first sight?
Damn!
By then, all the cold goddesses, cute lolis, charming young wives, and wild older sisters... would all bow down to his boxers! How could one word "awesome" describe this?
"Cough cough..."
The policewoman coughed awkwardly, then said seriously: "The criminal you helped catch today is a Class C wanted fugitive. According to our department's regulations, you can claim a 10,000-yuan reward."
"Wanted fugitive? He's done a lot of bad things before?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Yes, he's a repeat offender. Besides assaulting women, he's also wanted for multiple murders! We really appreciate you catching him!" The policewoman's expression turned stern, clearly hating the flower thief who violated women.
"Oh, that explains it—no wonder I got so much Three Realms Merit at once..."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, thinking to himself that he should check the wanted list sometime. Catching one every now and then would speed up his leveling!
"Sir, did you say something?" The policewoman looked confused.
"Oh, nothing. About that reward? Lead the way, I'll collect it." Chen Xiaobei grinned.
Today was a day of non-stop awesomeness. Cultivation leveled up, moral status upgraded, evil was punished, and there was even a reward to collect! This was the wonderful life!
After taking care of everything, Chen Xiaobei finally had time to take out his phone. Last night, almost everyone in the Three Realms Red Envelope Group had sent him friend requests—there were originally tens of thousands. Now, they were all gone. Because everyone had become his friend! And they were all quiet, not disturbing him.
"It looks like my master must have handled this. Otherwise, I'd be driven crazy."
Chen Xiaobei grinned, secretly thrilled. Having an awesome master was great—and this master was even "robbed" through red envelopes. It couldn't get more awesome than this!
"By the way, I also grabbed a bag of Xiao Tianquan's special dog food yesterday! I wonder what it does?"
Chen Xiaobei opened his Treasure Chest.
