Chapter 60 - I’m Not Tony Stark

Strange beast?

What is this thing?

He Chuan was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on.

The recovery of spiritual energy did not only affect humans. All living creatures in this world would be strengthened to a certain extent.

Moreover, the intelligence of wild beasts was far inferior to that of humans. What was strong was their physique.

As a result, after being nourished by spiritual energy for many years, they became even stronger, far surpassing the current humans.

Only the awakened ones could contend against them!

As the shopkeeper continued to explain.

He Chuan also understood how tremendous the number of beasts living in the mountain range near Glory City was.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was endless!

What was even more terrifying was that at the end of each year, wild beasts that did not need to hibernate would go berserk due to a lack of food, launching a large-scale beast tideinvasion!

Glory City used to be an important city of the dynasty. It had millions of soldiers and was prosperous and peaceful.

However, it had been destroyed by the beast tidefor a long time now. Its population had been greatly reduced and the people had suffered heavy casualties.

Counting the days, there was only about a month left until the next beast tideattack.

Speaking up to this point, the shopkeeper sighed deeply.

“With the current military situation in the city, it’s impossible to stop the beast tide that’s even more powerful than last year. I really don’t know what will happen…”

“What about migration? Haven’t you thought to migrate?”

The shopkeeper laughed bitterly, “Everyone who can walk has left. Now, other than the elderly, children, women, and children who remain in the city, there are only outsiders like you who don’t know anything.”

He Chuan frowned and asked, “Then haven’t you asked the imperial court for help? Have the higher-ups send people to help you leave.”

“We did, but no one responded. They always say that the mountain path is complicated and difficult to move on. It’s easy to attract a beast tide when there are too many people moving. The imperial court is discussing countermeasures, but after discussing for so long, there is still no news.”

The shopkeeper paused for a moment. As if he had just thought of something, he suddenly said, “Oh right, there was an announcement these two days. It said that the imperial court sent a prince to guard Glory City. It made us feel at ease.”

He Chuan’s expression froze. He had not expected that the topic would change to him.

At ease about what?

For him to resist the beast tide?

What kind of joke was this?

He did not have the ability to do so!

“I feel that no matter how powerful this prince is, he won’t be able to resist the beast tide of the entire mountain range, right?”

He Chuan gave a fair assessment. He did not intend to expose his identity.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately shook his head and started chatting.

“Is that right? I think so too.”

“A brat who is still wet behind the ears. His age is obvious. Even an awakened one would not be that strong.”

“In my opinion, he is just a prince who is not favored in the palace. He offended someone and was demoted to Glory City.”

“On the surface, that would make the prince advance and retreat with the commoners. How nice would that sound?”

“If Glory City withstood the beast tide, it would be a meritorious assignment from the Imperial Court. Everyone in the world would have to praise it.”

“If they did not survive the beast tide and all died, then there would still be princes to be blame. The Imperial Court would not be scolded.”

“Sigh… Imperial Court…”

“Bah!”

“How would they care about the life and death of small figures like us?”

The more the shopkeeper spoke, the angrier he got. He almost kicked the wine jug next to him.

He Chuan did not say anything.

He was already in no mood to talk about such a topic.

After bidding farewell to the other party, he walked on the cold streets again and began to think of countermeasures.

How should he survive the attack of the beast tide…

Based on the information he had and the abilities he possessed so far.

Only after perfecting the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual and starting to cultivate, and increase his strength, could he have a certain probability to protect himself.

The others, he couldn’t care less.

Should he just run?

But if he did that, it might affect the score of his reincarnation.

After all, this was the starting point of his reincarnation.

Although there were no clear instructions, He Chuan faintly felt that it was definitely better to face the difficulties brought about by reincarnation than to avoid them.

“One month…”

He Chuan pondered whether this amount of time was enough for him to successfully cultivate the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual and raise his strength to the level where he could block the beast tide for Glory City.

Soon, the deduction system gave him the answer.

[Success rate: 0.00002%]

Very good, the probability of two out of ten million!

It was almost the same as nothing!

He wasn’t Iron Man.

He couldn’t do it, he couldn’t do it!

It was better to change the method.

He Chuan calmed his heart and began to use the deduction ability.

All the muscles in his body instantly tensed up.

All his attention was focused on the calculation in his mind.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was much dimmer.

It was dusk.

From time to time, the cries of giant birds and beasts could be heard in the distant sky.

Just by feeling the sound waves coming from the sky, one could experience an extraordinary deterrence.

In the face of this kind of group evolution, humans were still a little insignificant.

Such feelings surged into his heart, and He Chuan once again confirmed his idea of becoming stronger.

However, before that, he had to follow the hints given by the deductive system.

[Thousands of gold are gone and returned]!

This was the result of spending a lot of time deducing and verifying the answer.

There was no more introduction, only such a short sentence.

He Chuan, however, came to a realization at a glance.

That’s right!

Other than deducing the system, he also had the heavenly law BUFF in this life!

As long as he spent something, he could get a rebate!

There were no restrictions!

Such an awesome law of karma, if used well, it would not be worse than the deductive system!

And in this way, he did not have to leave.

Since this city was his territory, he would run it well and make it the best Fengshui paradise in the dynasty. When that time came, people from all over the world would naturally visit.

If he wanted to know anything, he could just ask these people!

Why did he have to go through so much trouble to run around the world?

He Chuan immediately decided to spend money!

No matter how much money he had, he would spend it all to show his determination!

Today, this young master will be a prodigal until he only wears underpants to go home!

However, just as he was about to return to the City Lord’s Manor to get the money, he found a large group of people gathered at the door.

They all knelt on the ground in unison.

“Sir, please do us a favor and let our family escape the city for our lives…”

It sounded like a petition.

In front of this group of people stood a long-bearded man dressed in embroidered clothes and jade. His face was stern as he berated them.

“How dare you!”

“You dare to act rashly in front of the City Lord’s Manor? Do you all want to die?”

“The Imperial Court has already sent the eighteenth prince to lead us to defend the city. If we leave now, it will shake the morale of the army. The leader will be treated as a traitor and will be killed without mercy!”
