Super God: A 500-pound fat man! Crowning Rose!

Ye Qiu, whose soul traveled to the Super Seminary, became a fat and super fatty!

Activate the fat burning system! Consume fat and you can do whatever you want! Make any wish come true!

Gain strength? In a snap!

Bring bad luck to people? It depends on my mood!

Healing, making money, high technology? As long as you have enough fat, you can have whatever you want!

From then on, Ye Qiu relied on burning fat in the Super Seminary and just wanted to live his own luxurious life.

The survival of the Earth, the fate of the Xiongbinglian? What does it have to do with me?

Who dares to mess with him? Consume two ounces of fat, and your weapon will instantly explode and you’ll fall flat on your face! From then on, the gods of the academy were terrified by the sight of him. Behind his back, they called him the “Fat Lord” and the “Obese Demon.” They were afraid to get close to him, fearing his uncanny abilities would make them question their lives!

Did you become “interested” in the aloof goddess Du Qiangwei at the beginning?

Ye Qiu grinned, consumed fifty kilograms of fat, and forced love started!

A 500-pound body pressed down fiercely…

Super God: A 500-pound fat man! Crowning Rose!
Chapter 1: Damn! This Fatty is Going to Be Unstoppable Right From the Start!
The hustle and bustle of the city flooded into Shen Jin’s consciousness like a tide. He suddenly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him felt strange and yet strangely familiar.
He was not lying on the small bed in his single apartment of only a dozen square meters. The soft mattress and the quilt with a faint scent of laundry detergent were gone.
Instead, there was a hard and cold touch, as if it was some kind of rough ground.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and he squinted his eyes subconsciously. It took him a while to adjust to it.
He shook his dizzy head and tried to sit up.
However, he froze at a discovery that nearly made him scream.
His arm, no, it couldn’t be called an arm. It was a piece of fleshy flesh that looked like a pig’s trotter filled with grease. The skin was stretched so tightly that one could even see the knotty lumps of fat underneath.
He twisted his neck with difficulty and looked down at his body.
“No! This is impossible!”
A discordant cry of surprise burst from his throat, the sound rough and unfamiliar, with a greasy feeling that even he himself found disgusting.
That bloated body, like a small mountain of flesh, was exactly what he hated and despised the most in his previous life.
Judging from the appearance, this body weighs at least 200 kilograms, or even more.
The layers of belly piled up at his waist like a swimming ring, trembling with his slight movements.
My thighs are so thick that they almost burst my trouser legs. Every step I take, the skin on the inside of my thighs will probably rub and hurt.
A trace of cold despair bit his heart like a poisonous snake and quickly spread to his limbs and bones.
In his previous life, Shen Jin, although he was a typical otaku, he still had some pursuit of body management, at least keeping himself in the slightly plump category, and definitely not like he is now.
He hates obesity, not only because of its appearance, but also because of the inconveniences and potential health risks it brings.
Did he have to continue being a fat man after traveling through time? Even fatter than before? This realization made him feel suffocated.
He looked around blankly, trying to get some useful information from the surrounding environment.
He was now sitting on the edge of a street, his butt on the cold concrete.
Surrounded by tall buildings, the glass curtain walls reflect dazzling light in the sun, highlighting the prosperity of the city.
People and cars are constantly flowing on the streets. There are a variety of shop signs, playing some powerful and some lyrical music, mixed with people’s conversations and car horns, forming a typical urban symphony.
However, the words on these signs made him feel a little strange.
Although it was in Chinese, some of the words and font styles always gave him a sense of déjà vu.
“Juxia City Commercial Pedestrian Street welcomes you!”
A huge electronic display screen hanging on the overpass not far away scrolled the line of words in bright red font.
Juxia City?
A flash of lightning seemed to flash through Shen Jin’s mind.
He had some impression of this name.
Super Seminary?
He vaguely remembered that this was a domestic animation that he had watched in his spare time in his previous life.
The anime tells the story of a group of young people with the “Shenhe gene” who, under the training of the “Super Seminary”, grow into super warriors and fight against the alien invaders together when the earth is facing an alien invasion.
Could it be that I have traveled to the world of “Super Seminary”?
This speculation made his heart beat uncontrollably.
If this is true, it means that this seemingly peaceful world is actually undercurrent, and a brutal interstellar war will break out in the near future.
Taotie, demon, angel… these nouns that only exist in anime will soon become living reality.
He looked around again. The people on the street looked normal, and most of them had relaxed expressions on their faces.
Young lovers hold hands and sweetly share a cup of milk tea; children, under the care of their parents, laugh and play with balloons; office workers walk hurriedly, probably taking advantage of their lunch break to get some fresh air.
The air was filled with the relaxation and everyday life that is unique to peacetime. No one realized that a crisis that could destroy civilization was quietly approaching.
Shen Jin, no, maybe I should change my name now.
He remembered one of the main characters in the anime, whose surname seemed to be Ye, Ye Feng or something? He looked down at his fat palms, which were slightly red from the support he had just given them.
He tried to recall the memories of the original owner of this body, but his mind was blank. Apart from his more than 20 years of life as Shen Jin, he had no information about this body.
He sighed, feeling mixed emotions.
Just make the best of it. At this point, no amount of complaining or despair will help.
The most urgent thing is to figure out the current specific time point, see what stage the plot has reached, and who this “new identity” of mine is.
He struggled to get up from the ground. Every time he moved, the fat on his body shook uncontrollably, making him feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
He could clearly feel the enormous pressure on his knees and ankles, and just the simple action of standing up made him a little breathless.
“Ye Qiu!”
A somewhat vague but familiar name suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind.
Ye Qiu? That should be the name of this body.
He silently repeated the name several times, trying to find more memory fragments, but still found nothing.
It seems that the original owner left him nothing except a name.
“Alright, from today on, I am Ye Qiu.”
He said to himself in his heart, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in his tone.
Carrying this heavy body weighing more than 200 pounds, he began to wander aimlessly on the streets of Juxia City.
The sun scorched the earth and also scorched him.
After walking a few steps, he was already sweating profusely. The sweat on his forehead gathered and slid down his cheeks, making him itchy and uncomfortable.
The cheap T-shirt he was wearing was quickly soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his fat flesh. The sticky feeling drove him crazy.
His huge body made him stand out in the crowd, like a crane standing out among chickens, but in the opposite direction.
People passing by would more or less look at him strangely, with some expressing curiosity, some disdain, and some undisguised ridicule.
These gazes were like fine needles, pricking him and making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Although he was a homebody in his previous life, he was also a person who cared about his reputation and had never been treated like the center of attention.
In addition, he looked around, his eyes full of confusion and wariness towards the world. He was obviously a newcomer from another place, and a fat man from another place who was not very smart.
These characteristics combined together quickly attracted some malicious glances.

Although Juxia City is prosperous, there are always shadows under the sun.
In some less glamorous corners, there are always some idlers and non-professionals who make a living by petty theft or extortion.
Ye Qiu aimlessly turned into a relatively quiet alley, trying to avoid the unsettling gazes on the commercial street.
The alley was somewhat dark and damp, with various graffiti scribbled on the walls on both sides, and the air was filled with a faint smell of mold and the stench of rotten garbage.
He had just taken a few steps inside when he heard the sound of deliberately slowed footsteps and suppressed laughter behind him.
Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.
However, his body was too bulky, and running was not only difficult but also not very fast.
“Hey, fat guy in front, stop!” A young man’s voice with a teasing and malicious tone sounded from behind him.
Ye Qiu’s steps paused involuntarily. He knew that trouble was coming.
He took a deep breath and turned around slowly.
He saw three thugs with colorful hair, ripped jeans, and various metal rings on their ears, noses and even lips approaching him with unfriendly looks on their faces.
The leader was a tall and thin young man with prominent cheekbones and deep eye sockets. He had a lit cigarette in his mouth. Amidst the smoke, his triangular eyes flashed with malicious light.
He was in his early twenties, with a ruffian and arrogant look on his face that was inconsistent with his age.
“Is there something wrong?” Ye Qiu tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but the slight trembling still revealed his inner nervousness.
The tall and thin gangster walked up to Ye Qiu, stopped, looked him up and down, his eyes full of undisguised contempt and greed.
He took a deep puff of his cigarette and then slowly exhaled the smoke onto Ye Qiu’s face.
Ye Qiu coughed a few times due to being choked, and frowned in disgust.
“Hey, Fatty, are you new here?” The tall and thin thug grinned, revealing a mouthful of smoke-yellow teeth. He pointed at Ye Qiu with the hand holding the cigarette and said arrogantly, “You look unfamiliar. Do you understand the rules here?”
He calls himself “Rascal Wang San” and seems to have some fame in this small circle.
The other two thugs also spread out in a fan shape, blocking Ye Qiu’s retreat on the left and right.
They were all rubbing their hands in preparation, with malicious smiles on their faces, their eyes looking like they were sizing up a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The alley was already narrow, and surrounded by these three people, it seemed even more cramped and oppressive.
Ye Qiu’s heart tightened and sweat unconsciously seeped out of his palms.
In his previous life, Shen Jin was just a technical geek buried in codes and data, living a life of going back and forth between home and abroad. Not to mention fighting, even the number of times he had quarreled with others was very few.
Faced with this typical street thug extortion situation, he had almost no experience in dealing with it except for instinctive fear and nervousness.
He forced himself to remain calm, his mind racing with thoughts of how to escape.
A head-on fight would definitely not work. Although his fat body looked intimidating, it was actually all fake. In a fight, he might not even be able to beat Wang San, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, not to mention that the other party had two helpers.
Begging for mercy? Judging from the other party’s attitude, he will not give up until he has squeezed every last penny out of him.
Call the police? Cell phone… He subconsciously touched his pockets, empty.
It seems that the original owner of this body was also a pauper and didn’t even have a cell phone.
Even if there is, it will be too late by the time the police arrive.
“What…what rules? I don’t quite understand.”
Ye Qiu’s voice trembled a little. He tried hard to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, trying to delay time.
“Don’t understand?” The ruffian Wang San sneered, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his toes, then raised his chin and looked down at Ye Qiu in a condescending manner, “It’s very simple, this street, this area, is all under the protection of our third brother.
You are new here, if you want to stay here safely, you have to pay some protection fee, understand?”
He stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Ye Qiu: “Not much, looking at your fat body, you must have plenty of oil and water.
Pay three hundred yuan first, and consider it as making friends with the brothers.”
Three hundred yuan! Ye Qiu’s heart sank.
He is penniless now, and can’t even take out three dollars, let alone three hundred dollars.
“I…I have no money.”
Ye Qiu said with difficulty, his voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum.
“No money?” Wang San’s face darkened instantly, his eyes becoming fierce. “Fatty, are you kidding me? Look at your fat body, how can you support it without money? Don’t be so shameless!”
A yellow-haired thug behind him also joined in the commotion, “Third brother, why waste your time talking to him! I think this fat guy deserves a beating! Beat him up, and the money will come naturally!”
Another green-haired thug said sarcastically, “Hey, Fatty, you’re so delicate, don’t force us to do anything.
We will not hold back when hitting you. It would be such a shame if we damaged your precious things.”
As they spoke, the three thugs took another step forward, and the oppressive feeling in the air became stronger.
Wang San stretched out his hand and patted Ye Qiu’s fat cheek roughly, with an insulting tone: “Fatty, I’ll give you another chance.
If you know what’s good for you, hand over the money obediently, or else, today I’ll let you know why the flowers are so red!
A cold feeling of fear gripped Ye Qiu’s heart.
He could feel his calves trembling slightly, and more cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, sliding down his temples and dripping into his eyes, causing a stinging pain.
He wanted to argue or beg for mercy, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn’t say a word.
He subconsciously took a step back, but his back hit the cold and hard wall, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.
Despair washed over him like a tide.
Was he going to be brutally beaten and have his nonexistent money stolen on his first day in this world? This was a hellish start!
Just as Ye Qiu was being forced to retreat step by step by the gang of ruffians Wang San, almost collapsing on the ground, his heart icy and at a loss, a cold, emotionless mechanical prompt suddenly rang in his mind:
“Ding! It’s detected that the host is facing a direct personal threat…”
“The fat burning system is being activated…”
“System activation successful!”
“Newbie mission released: Punish the evildoers and maintain your own safety and dignity.”
“Mission Objective: Repel or disable the current primary threat target, ‘Ruffian Wang San’, and his accomplices from continuing to harm the host.”
“Mission Reward: Initial unlocking of system functions and a newbie gift pack.”
“Assistive Function Prompt: Do you want to consume 1kg of fat to apply the ‘Bad Luck’ effect to the primary threat target, ‘Ruffian Wang San’? (Note: The Bad Luck effect causes the target to encounter a series of small, non-lethal accidents over a short period of time, thereby disrupting their actions and reducing their threat level.)”
Chapter 3 System Awakening! Good Days for Fatty! (Old Version)
A series of prompt sounds exploded in Ye Qiu’s mind like heavenly sounds.
He was stunned at first, almost thinking that he was hallucinating due to excessive nervousness.
System? Fat burning system?
This… is this the golden finger that time travelers must have?!
An indescribable ecstasy erupted from his heart like a volcano, instantly dispelling the fear and despair that shrouded his heart.
He almost wanted to laugh out loud, but his remaining rationality told him that now was not the time.
Punish the villain? Consume fat and bring bad luck?
This system sounds really powerful! Moreover, it seems to be closely related to my current fat body.
Could it be that this fat that he originally hated so much has become the “energy source” of his golden finger?
“Do you want to consume 1kg of fat and apply the ‘Bad Luck’ effect to the primary target, ‘Ruffian Wang San’?”
The system’s inquiry sounded again, pulling Ye Qiu back to reality from his ecstasy.
When the ruffian Wang San saw Ye Qiu’s face turned pale with fear, and he stood there in silence without saying a word, he thought Ye Qiu had completely given up.
He had a smug grin on his face and reached out to grab Ye Qiu’s collar: “Fatty, it seems like if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll cry until you see the coffin!”
The moment his hand was about to touch Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu barely hesitated. In his heart, he silently chanted with all his strength, “Yes! Consume! Bring me some bad luck!”
Almost at the moment when the confirmed command formed in his mind, the originally arrogant and domineering ruffian Wang San suddenly let out a shrill “Ouch” scream.
Just as he was reaching out to Ye Qiu’s hand, before it even touched the corner of Ye Qiu’s clothes, his foot somehow slipped backwards as if he had stepped on a piece of soap coated with lubricating oil!
“Plop!”
Wang San lost control of his center of gravity and fell backward uncontrollably.
His tall and thin body drew an awkward arc in the air, and the back of his head hit an abandoned metal water pipe protruding from the wall of the alley behind him.
“Bang!”
A dull, teeth-grinding thud echoed through the alley.
Wang San only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and stars appeared in front of his eyes, as if countless bees were buzzing in his head.
He was in so much pain that tears were about to burst out. He squatted down with his head in his hands, groaning in pain.
However, this is just the beginning.
Even more unfortunate was that due to the violent collision and the sudden pain, the latest model of Apple mobile phone in his hand slipped out of his hand with a whoosh.
The phone rolled several times in the air, and then in a perfect parabola, it fell face down with a “bang” and landed heavily on the stone floor not far away.
The screen shattered with a sound, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and in an instant it was completely messed up.
“My cell phone!” Wang San caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and was so heartbroken that he almost couldn’t breathe.
This was the latest model he had just bought at great expense on installment payments. He treated it so preciously that he even put several layers of film on it. He didn’t expect it to die so heroically today.
Misfortunes never come singly, and blessings never come alone.
Just when Wang San was feeling heartbroken over his broken phone screen, something even more heartbreaking happened.
He was wearing a pair of fashionable ripped jeans today, and there was a large hole in the back pocket.
He usually keeps his wallet in his back pocket.
Just now, he suddenly slipped backwards and twisted his body violently. The wallet, which was already a little loose, actually slid out silently through the hole.
The wallet bounced twice on the ground, then fell squarely and accurately into the gap of a half-covered sewer grate on the side of the road.
With a soft “gulp” sound, the wallet disappeared into the dark sewer, leaving only a narrow gap in the grating, as if mocking Wang San’s stupidity.
“My…my wallet!” Wang San covered the back of his head which was still in great pain, staring in amazement at the sewer grate that had swallowed his wallet. His voice changed in tone and sounded like tears.
That contains most of his “income” this month!
This series of bad luck happened too quickly, too suddenly, and too strangely.
The ruffian Wang San covered the back of his head which was in great pain, grimaced in pain, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
He felt like there must be a big bump on the back of his head, which hurt terribly when touched.
He struggled to stand up, but the dizziness from the back of his head made him feel nauseous, and his hands and feet felt weak, so he couldn’t get up for a while.
When he saw the latest Apple phone with a screen as broken as the wrinkles on the old lady’s face not far away, and the wallet that had completely disappeared into the sewer grate, he was even more furious and his heart was broken.
My cell phone was broken, my wallet was lost, and I was injured. This is simply a loss of both the wife and the army. I am so unlucky!
He raised his head angrily, wanting to roar at Ye Qiu and ask him if he had done anything wrong.
However, the other two thugs who were originally arrogant were now stunned, as if they had seen a ghost.
The yellow-haired gangster opened his mouth wide and couldn’t close it for a long time. He stared at Wang San who was squatting on the ground and groaning, then looked at the broken cell phone and the sewer opening, his face full of disbelief.
The green-haired gangster subconsciously took two steps back, away from Ye Qiu. He rubbed his eyes hard, as if he couldn’t believe what had just happened.
How come Boss Wang San suddenly became so unlucky?
He first fell on flat ground and hit the back of his head on an iron pipe.
Then the phone flew out and broke into pieces.
Then the wallet fell precisely into the sewer.
This series of blows seemed to be carefully planned. The misfortune was so smooth, so coherent, and so weird!
They have been hanging around the streets for some years and have been involved in many fights and extortions, but they have never seen anything so weird.
The two gangsters looked at each other, and saw deep astonishment and a trace of fear that was hard to conceal in each other’s eyes.
When they looked at Ye Qiu again, their eyes had completely changed.
Is this fat guy a tough guy? He seemed to have done nothing just now, just standing there, even his expression didn’t change much.
But Wang San Lao Da got into trouble one after another.
Could it be… could it be that this fat guy has some kind of sorcery? Or is he some hidden master?
The two gangsters felt a chill down their spines at the thought of this possibility.
Although they are gangsters, they are also afraid of death, and even more afraid of this unknown and strange power.
“San… San brother, are you… are you okay?” The yellow-haired gangster approached cautiously, wanting to help Wang San up, his voice trembling.
Wang San groaned in pain, cursing, “Damn it…it hurts like hell…I really didn’t check the almanac before going out today. I’m so unlucky!”
He was helped up by the yellow-haired and green-haired men, but the pain and dizziness in the back of his head made it impossible for him to stand steadily, so he could only lean on the two younger brothers.
Chapter 4: Bad Luck! Try to Provoke Ye Qiu! (Old Version)
He glared at Ye Qiu fiercely, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, but more of it was an indescribable fear.
He also felt that what happened today was too weird. Why did he suddenly become so unlucky? Could it really be this fat guy’s fault? But he clearly didn’t do anything!
“You…you just wait for me!” Wang San said these polite words in a stern but cowardly manner, but his voice was obviously lacking in confidence and had a slight tremor.
Now he just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible and stay away from this fat man who looked so abnormal.
After saying that, he didn’t dare to stay any longer. With the support of his two younger brothers, he almost crawled and fled towards the alley entrance in a panic without looking back. His back looked so embarrassed that he didn’t have any of the arrogance he had just now.
Looking at the three thugs fleeing in panic, Ye Qiu’s tense nerves finally relaxed. He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had fought a tough battle, his whole body drenched in sweat.
At the same time, he also clearly felt that his body seemed to be a little more relaxed, as if a tiny burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Although the feeling was slight, it was extremely obvious to him due to his huge weight base.
“Is this…solved?” Ye Qiu still found it a little unbelievable.
He looked down at his hands and touched his still fat belly.
Everything that just happened seemed like a dream.
Is this the power of the system? Just “elementary bad luck” can make an arrogant gang leader so embarrassed.
He couldn’t wait to concentrate and try to communicate with the system in his mind.
“System? System, are you there?”
As his thoughts came out, a simple, technologically-sounding translucent panel suddenly appeared in his mind.
Only he can “see” this panel, and it will not be noticed by the outside world.
At the top of the panel is a striking headline: “Fat Consumption System”.
Below are several key data and function icons.
“Host: Ye Qiu”
“Current total fat: 103.5kg (initial value: 104.5kg, 1kg consumed)”
“Physical condition: Extremely obese, sub-healthy (high potential risk of multiple chronic diseases)”
Seeing that the total amount of fat had really decreased by 1kg, Ye Qiu felt ecstatic.
Although 1kg is just a drop in the bucket compared to his massive weight base, it undoubtedly proves the authenticity and effectiveness of the system! As long as he continues to consume fat, he has hope of getting rid of this damn fat and regaining his life!
Below the data are several function icons that are currently lit or grayed out.
The first icon that lit up was a grinning devil’s head with the words “Bad Luck (Basic)” written below it.
Icon Description: “Consumes the host’s fat and applies varying degrees of bad luck to the designated target.
The current level is elementary, which can cause the target to encounter small, non-fatal accidents.
The intensity and duration of the effect depend on the amount of fat consumed.
Upgrade conditions: complete specific tasks or consume a lot of fat to upgrade the system. “
Just now, when dealing with the ruffian Wang San, I consumed 1kg of fat, which was the “primary bad luck”.
The effect is outstanding!
The second icon is a glittering gold ingot, but it is currently gray and inactive, with the words “Small Wealth (Unlocked)” underneath.
Icon description: “Consume the host’s fat and obtain a small amount of money in a reasonable way.
Unlock condition: Reduce total fat to below 100kg.”
When Ye Qiu saw this function, his eyes lit up.
He is penniless now and is worried about how to make a living.
If I could exchange fat for money, that would be a lifesaver! However, I need to reduce my total fat mass to below 100kg to unlock it, so it seems I still need to work hard to “lose weight”.
The third icon is a beating heart, also in gray and inactive, with the words “Weak Favorability (Unlocked)” written below.
Icon Description: “Consumes the host’s fat and applies a weak favorability effect to the designated target, causing it to have a slight, non-romantic positive emotion towards the host for a short period of time.
Unlock condition: Successfully use the ‘Bad Luck’ function three times.
This function made Ye Qiu a little curious.
A slight liking? It sounds like it could play some unexpected roles in interpersonal communication.
Moreover, the unlocking condition is to use the “bad luck” function three times. I have already used it once, and I can unlock it by using it twice more.
The fourth icon is a green cross, also in a gray, inactive state, with the words “Minor Healing (Not Unlocked)” written underneath.
Icon Description: “Consumes the host’s fat to treat minor injuries or restore status for yourself or others.
Unlocking conditions: The host is injured by external forces for the first time and his vital signs show slight abnormalities.
This feature is also very practical, especially in this world that is about to become dangerous.
However, the unlocking conditions are a bit tricky, as you have to get injured first.
Ye Qiu curled his lips, hoping that this function would never be unlocked.
In addition to these four main function icons, there is also a small “Newbie Gift Pack” icon in the corner of the panel, which is flashing an attractive light.
Ye Qiu clicked on the gift package icon with his mind without hesitation.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the novice gift package and receiving the following rewards:”
“1. Fat Conversion Acceleration Trial Card (One-time Use): After use, the fat consumption effect of the next three times will be doubled (i.e., consuming 1kg of fat will produce the effect of 2kg of fat consumption, but the actual body fat loss is still 1kg. The excess is the additional ‘energy conversion efficiency bonus’ provided by the system and is not included in the total consumption and does not affect the progress of function unlocking).”
“2. Basic Fighting Techniques (Beginner): Contains basic punches, kicks, dodges, and power techniques. These are directly instilled into the host’s memory to help them initially improve their limb coordination and enhance their self-defense abilities.”
“3. Juxia City Basic Information Package: Contains a map of Juxia City, introductions to major areas, common public service information, etc.”
As the system prompt sound ended, Ye Qiu felt a large amount of information instantly flooding into his mind.
First of all, the instructions for using the “Fat Conversion Acceleration Experience Card” are very easy to understand. It is a temporary buff that allows him to get double the “effect” in the next three fat consumptions, but the actual fat reduction is still the same.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 5 Money Power! Having fat means you can do whatever you want! (Old version)
Immediately afterwards, a vast and clear torrent of fighting knowledge flooded into his brain, as if he had practiced hard for months. The punching postures of various boxing techniques, the kicking techniques, the dodging footwork, and the techniques of how to concentrate the body’s strength more effectively and burst out were all deeply imprinted in his mind.
He could even feel that his control over this obese body seemed to have improved a little, and he was no longer as completely clumsy and uncoordinated as before.
Finally, here is the detailed information about Juxia City.
A clear electronic map unfolded in his mind, and the divisions of various areas, important landmark buildings, transportation routes, and even the locations of some convenient service points were all clear at a glance.
This is extremely important for him who has just arrived.
“Great!” Ye Qiu was very excited.
Everything in this beginner’s gift pack is very practical.
He glanced at the system panel again and saw “Current total fat: 103.5kg”. He was still 3.5kg away from the 100kg required to unlock the “Small Wealth” function.
If combined with the “Fat Conversion Acceleration Experience Card”, theoretically only about 1.75kg of fat needs to be consumed (because the experience card doubles the effect, the actual consumption is still calculated as it is) to meet the unlocking conditions.
After confirming the magic of the system and the powerful effect of “primary bad luck”, Ye Qiu’s heart was filled with unprecedented expectations for the future.
Although he was a fat guy at the beginning, with this fat burning system, he believed that he could survive in this world, and even live well!
He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then carefully walked out of the alley that brought him this “surprise”.
Returning to the busy commercial pedestrian street, Ye Qiu’s mentality was completely different from before.
He was no longer as self-deprecating and confused as before, and there was a hint of confidence and calmness in his eyes.
Although his body shape is still the focus of passers-by’s attention, he no longer cares so much about those strange looks.
All he could think about now was how to unlock the other functions of the system as quickly as possible.
He was particularly interested in the function called “weak affection”.
“Consumes the host’s fat and applies a slight favorability effect to the designated target, causing them to have mild, non-romantic positive emotions towards the host for a short period of time.”
This description sounds interesting.
If used properly, it may bring convenience to yourself in many aspects.
Moreover, the unlocking condition is to use “bad luck” three times. He has already used it once, and there are still two more to go.
“Where can I find two unlucky guys to try out their ‘bad luck’?” Ye Qiu pondered as he strolled down the street.
You can’t just pick up any random passerby and hit him, right? That would be too rude.
It’s better to find someone who is a little bad or doing something not very glorious.
He walked aimlessly, his eyes wandering among the crowd.
Suddenly, a figure wearing a heavy doll costume and handing out flyers came into his sight.
It was a doll dressed as a cute cartoon bear. The doll costume looked thick and stuffy. It must be very difficult to wear it in such hot weather.
The teddy bear’s movements were a little slow, and it was obvious that the actor inside was very tired.
She (judging from her figure, she should be a woman) was diligently handing out flyers to passers-by, with a professional enthusiasm on her face (although her expression was hidden by the hood, it could be seen from her slightly bent posture and the way she handed out the flyers).
However, most passers-by ignored her, either waving their hands to refuse her directly or taking a detour, as if she were some kind of monster.
Occasionally, one or two people would symbolically take the flyer, but without even looking at it, they would just crumple it up and prepare to throw it into the trash can.
The girl looked a little depressed, and her movements of handing out flyers gradually slowed down. Her head under the hood drooped slightly, and she looked a little listless.
Ye Qiu looked at this scene and couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.
He himself was once a low-level worker and knows how difficult life is.
“How about…trying the effect of ‘weak affection’ on her?” A thought flashed through his mind.
However, to unlock “Weak Favorability”, you must first use “Bad Luck” twice.
He continued to observe his surroundings, hoping to find a suitable person to inflict his “bad luck” on.
Just then, he saw a young woman in fashionable and seductive clothes walking on the sidewalk not far away, leading a small poodle without a leash.
The woman was so busy playing with her cell phone that she completely ignored her dog.
The little poodle seemed very excited, running around in the crowd, barking at passers-by’s ankles from time to time, and even lifted its leg to urinate on a potted plant in a roadside shop.
Several passers-by were startled by the puppy and frowned and moved away, but the woman was still immersed in her mobile phone world and was unaware.
“It’s you!” Ye Qiu’s heart moved.
This uncivilized dog-raising behavior affects the behavior of others, which makes him feel a little disgusted.
Giving her a little “bad luck” and making her flustered can also be considered a small lesson for her.
He concentrated and gave the system an instruction: “System, consume 0.5kg of fat and inflict ‘primary bad luck’ on the woman who walks her dog without a leash.”
He chose to consume 0.5kg of fat because he wanted to try the effect of different fat consumption amounts on the effect of “bad luck”.
I used 1kg to deal with Wang San before, and the effect was significant.
Halve it this time and see how it works.
“Ding! Command confirmed.
Consumes 0.5kg of fat and applies the “Bad Luck” effect to the target.
Current total fat mass: 103kg.”
As soon as the system prompt sounded, Ye Qiu saw the woman playing with her phone suddenly let out a soft cry of “Ouch!”
It turned out that she was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes with thin and high heels. She was so busy looking at her mobile phone that she didn’t pay attention to her feet. She accidentally got her heel stuck in a small gap in the sidewalk tiles.
She staggered and almost fell.
After finally stabilizing myself, I found that I couldn’t pull my heel out.
She bent down somewhat awkwardly and tried to pull out her heel with force, but because she used too much force, the heel broke with a “crack”!
“My shoes!” The woman screamed in frustration, looking at the broken heel in her hand and the lame high-heeled shoe on her foot, her face twisted with anger.
Just as she was frantically dealing with the broken heel, her poodle, which was not on a leash, seemed to be attracted by the ice cream in the hands of a child not far away and suddenly rushed over excitedly.
The child was startled by the puppy that suddenly rushed over, his hand shook, and the ice cream fell to the ground.
The child cried out “wah” and started crying.
The child’s parents saw this and immediately yelled at the poodle’s owner, the woman whose shoe heel had broken, “How could you look at the dog! You scared my child! And you even dropped the ice cream!”
The woman was already in a bad mood because her heel was broken, and now she was scolded. She immediately became furious. She didn’t care about the uneven height of her shoes, and started arguing with the other person with her hands on her hips.
For a moment, the scene became a little chaotic.
Ye Qiu was secretly shocked watching from the side.
The effect of this “primary bad luck” is immediate even if it only consumes 0.5kg of fat.
Although she was not as unlucky as Wang San, it was still enough to make this woman busy and in trouble.
“One more ‘bad luck’ away from unlocking ‘weak favorability’.”
Ye Qiu touched his chin and continued to look for the next “lucky person”.
His eyes quickly locked onto a wretched middle-aged man not far away who was secretly distributing various advertisements for “male specialists” and “painless abortions.”
The man had a sly look in his eyes. Taking advantage of the urban management’s inattention, he stuffed stacks of crudely printed flyers into the baskets of shared bicycles parked on the roadside, under the wipers of cars, and even into the cracks of some store doors, seriously affecting the cityscape.
“It’s decided to be you!” Ye Qiu sneered in his heart.
“System, consume another 0.5kg of fat and inflict ‘Bad Luck’ on the man who randomly posts flyers.”
Current total fat mass: 102.5kg.”
“It has been detected that the host has successfully used the ‘bad luck’ function three times. The ‘weak favorability’ function has been unlocked!”
Almost at the moment when the system prompted that the “weak affection” function was unlocked, the wretched man who was working hard to insert the advertisement suddenly slipped – he stepped on a piece of road that had been urinated on by the previous poodle, and it was so slippery.
The man cried out “Ouch” and lost his balance. The large stack of flyers in his hand suddenly flew all over the sky like snowflakes and scattered everywhere.
He also sat down on the ground with his buttocks falling.
Even more unfortunate was that his fall made quite a noise, which just happened to alarm two urban management team members who were patrolling not far away.
“What’s going on over there?”
“It looks like someone’s handing out flyers! They’re all over the floor!”
The two urban management team members immediately walked over quickly. When they saw the floor covered with flyers and the wretched man sitting on the ground with his teeth bared, their faces suddenly darkened.
“You again! How many times have I told you not to post these things here? You’re a pervert, aren’t you? Come with us!”
The wretched man was so frightened when he saw the urban management that he didn’t care about the pain in his butt and got up and wanted to run away.
But he was fat and had short legs, so he could not run faster than the young and strong urban management team members. He was caught after only a few steps.
The criminal was caught red-handed and the evidence was solid.
What awaits him is naturally a fine and criticism and education.
Ye Qiu looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
This “bad luck” system is simply the nemesis of urban psoriasis.
At the same time, he also felt the “weak affection” function icon light up in his mind and become available for use.
He couldn’t wait to try out the effect of this new feature.
His eyes once again turned to the teddy bear girl who was still handing out flyers.
The girl continued to work hard, but with little success.
She looked even more tired, and her movements became slower and even mechanical.
In the sunlight, the heavy doll costume must have looked like a steamer.
Ye Qiu’s mind moved, and he gave the system an order: “System, consume 0.5kg of fat and use ‘Weak Favorability’ on the girl handing out flyers.”
He chose to consume 0.5kg of fat to first see what the most basic effect would be.
Consumes 0.5kg of fat and applies a ‘slightly favorable impression’ effect to the target.
Current total fat mass: 102kg.”
The system prompts that the consumption is successful.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, straightened his T-shirt which was a little wrinkled due to sweating, and then pretended to walk towards the teddy bear girl casually.
He didn’t go up to her and talk to her directly, but just planned to pass by her to see if she would have any special reaction.
Just when he passed by the teddy bear girl, only two or three meters away, an unexpected scene happened.
The girl’s eyes, which had originally seemed a little dull due to repeated rejections (although Ye Qiu could sense her low mood through the hood), suddenly brightened up as if injected with energy when she “saw” Ye Qiu’s huge figure.
Her movements, which had been a little slow, became brisk.
She took the initiative to walk a few steps towards Ye Qiu, and almost impatiently stuffed the small stack of flyers in her hand into Ye Qiu’s hands.
Then, she said in a remarkably friendly and sweet voice (a bit muffled through the doll headgear, but still conveying her enthusiasm): “Hello, sir! This is the latest promotion at our ‘Strength and Beauty’ gym. Would you like to know more? We have a professional team of trainers and top-notch fitness equipment, and you can get a surprise discount if you sign up now!”
After a pause, she added, her tone filled with sincere encouragement: “Sir, you seem to have great potential! Really! As long as you keep exercising, you will definitely be able to shape a perfect body!”
Ye Qiu was stunned by this sudden enthusiasm.
He looked down at the thick stack of flyers in his hand, then looked at the teddy bear in front of him who showed great kindness to him, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.
This… is this the effect of “weak favorability”?
It’s so amazing!
He just passed by her without even saying a word, but she took the initiative to come forward and not only gave him all the flyers, but also spoke to him in such a warm and encouraging tone.
You know, just a few minutes ago, she was looking dejected because she was constantly ignored and rejected.
Ye Qiu could clearly feel that the girl was emitting a pure kindness and closeness to him without any impurities.
It was as if she subconsciously felt that he was a good person who was trustworthy and close to her.
“Thank you, I’ll…I’ll think about it.”
Ye Qiu answered with a bit of a stutter, but he was ecstatic in his heart.
This system is tailor-made for him!
“Bad luck” can be used to punish evildoers, protect yourself, or even fight back.
A “slight liking” can be very effective in interpersonal communication.
There are also “Small Wealth” and “Minor Treatment” that have not yet been unlocked, one solves economic problems and the other provides life protection.
With these, plus my own foresight about the plot of “Super Seminary”, the future is promising!
“Great! Sir, this is my business card. If you are interested, you can contact me at any time! My name is Su Xiaoli!” The teddy bear girl seemed very happy that Ye Qiu took the flyer. She took out a business card from a pocket of her doll costume and handed it to Ye Qiu.
Chapter 6: Demonstrating His Power! The Whole Block Was Stunned! (Old Version)
Su Xiaoli?
Ye Qiu paused slightly as he took the business card.
This name… looks so familiar!
He suddenly remembered! In the anime “Super Seminary,” wasn’t there a main supporting female character named Su Xiaoli? She was the secret crush of one of the main characters, Ge Xiaolun, and later awakened the Shenhe gene, becoming a member of the Super Seminary, codenamed “Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.”
Could it be that… the teddy bear girl in front of me is Su Xiaoli?
Ye Qiu looked carefully at the teddy bear in front of him.
Although I couldn’t see her face, judging from her exquisite figure (which could be vaguely seen even in the heavy doll costume) and the sweet and pleasant voice just now, it really might be her.
If she really is Su Xiaoli, then today is truly a stroke of luck! Not only did I activate the system, but I also met a character from the plot!
Does this mean that the plot has already begun, or is about to begin?
Ye Qiu’s mood became a little complicated. He was excited about meeting the characters in the plot, but also a little nervous about his future fate.
He looked at the business card in his hand, which had “Li Yu Mei Gym Gold Medal Sales Consultant Su Xiaoli” and a phone number printed on it.
“Okay, Miss Su, thank you.”
Ye Qiu carefully put away the business card and nodded at the teddy bear.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome! Hope to see you at the gym! Goodbye, sir!” Su Xiaoli seemed to have completed today’s distribution task. She waved her bear paw at Ye Qiu in a good mood, then turned around and walked away with a much lighter pace than before, probably preparing to go back to report.
Ye Qiu stood there, watching Su Xiaoli (suspected) disappear in the crowd, his heart restless for a long time.
The effect of “weak affection” was even stronger than he had imagined.
He now has full confidence in the system.
He glanced at the system panel and saw that his current total fat weight was 102kg, which meant he was still 2kg away from unlocking “small wealth”.
“We have to find a way to consume these two kilograms of fat as quickly as possible.”
Ye Qiu was secretly calculating.
Only with money can he survive in this city and consider more things.
He touched the fat on his belly and for the first time felt that this fat was not so useless.
After successfully experiencing the magic of the system twice in a row, Ye Qiu was so excited that he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
He stood there, his chest heaving violently due to his rapid breathing, and his cheeks flushed abnormally with excitement.
The two experiences just now, one was that the gangster who tried to rob him was extremely unlucky. Not only did he fail to rob him, but he also fell flat on his face and his wallet fell out, which was a bargain for him; the other time was that he only used a tiny amount of fat to get the school beauty who had ignored him before to show him a friendly smile, which was brief but absolutely real.
All of this is like a dream.
He raised his hand and pinched his thigh hard. The clear pain told him that this was not a dream.
He really has an incredible system, a system that can consume fat to activate various magical abilities.
He is an ordinary time traveler who has been in this world called “Super Seminary” for some time.
This world is both similar to and different from the Earth in his previous life. The level of technology seems to be higher, but what makes him even more uneasy is that he vaguely knows that this world is lurking with a huge crisis.
Various alien civilizations, wars between gods and demons, these are like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, which may fall at any time.
And he, Ye Qiu, was just a fat man who was powerless.
In this world, he has no background, no superpowers, and not even a stable job.
If he had not accidentally connected to this “fat consumption system” when traveling through time, he could not imagine how bleak his future would be.
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm his agitated emotions.
He had to calm down and think carefully about what this system meant to him.
He found a park bench and sat down.
The early spring sunshine shone on him through the sparse leaves, bringing a hint of warmth.
There are old people doing morning exercises and children playing around, creating a peaceful scene.
But in Ye Qiu’s eyes, beneath this peace, there is an undercurrent of unknown danger.
He closed his eyes and let consciousness sink into his mind.
A light blue, technologically-sense translucent panel appeared clearly in his mind.
This is the main interface of the “Fat Consumption System”.
At the top of the panel is a striking title – “Fat Consumption System”.
Below the title is his personal information and fat reserves.
“Current total fat: 85.6kg”
“Body Health Index: 65 (slightly below average, excess fat causes some indicators to be abnormal)”
Seeing this number, the corners of Ye Qiu’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
He is 1.75 meters tall, and his weight before crossing over was always around 130 kilograms. Although he is not thin, he is definitely not fat.
But since he crossed over to this world, for some reason, his appetite increased greatly and his weight soared. In just a few months, he exceeded 170 kilograms and became a real fat man.
This made him very distressed and even a little inferior.
But now, looking at this number, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.
This number is no longer a pillar of shame for his weight, but a fuel gauge for his life and strength.
The middle area of the panel is a list of unlocked system functions.
The first function is “bad luck”.
There is a small note at the back: “Primary Bad Luck: Consume 0.1kg of fat to apply a slight bad luck effect to a designated single target, causing it to encounter some minor troubles or accidents for a short period of time.
The intensity and duration of bad luck are proportional to the amount of fat consumed, and currently the maximum amount of fat consumed is 1kg.”
He used this to deal with thugs before, and it was very effective.
The second function is “weak favorability”.
Note: “Primary Favorability: Consumes 0.05kg of fat, can exert a weak favorability tendency on a designated single target, causing it to have some positive emotions towards the host for a short period of time.
The intensity and duration of the effect are proportional to the amount of fat consumed, and currently the maximum amount of fat consumed is 0.5kg.”
This is what I used on the school beauty. Although it was just a smile, it proved to be effective.
Chapter 7 This Fatty Is Not Simple! Even Dukao Has His Eyes on Him! (Old Version)
In addition to the two functions he has experienced, there are two gray functions below, but they are already shown as “unlocked”.
The third function is “small wealth”.
Note: “Consume fat and randomly obtain a certain amount of cash in this world.
The minimum fat consumption is 0.5kg and the maximum fat consumption is 5kg.
The amount earned is roughly proportional to the amount of fat consumed, but there is a certain amount of random fluctuation.”
When Ye Qiu saw this function, his eyes lit up instantly.
Money! This is what he lacks the most! As an illegal immigrant, he doesn’t even have an ID card, let alone finding a job to make money.
This feature is a lifesaver!
The fourth function is “minor treatment”.
Note: “By consuming fat, the host or a designated target can receive a minor injury treatment.
It consumes at least 0.2kg of fat and can treat minor injuries and relieve mild pain.
The treatment effect is proportional to the amount of fat consumed, and currently the maximum amount of fat consumed for treatment is 2kg.”
This function also made Ye Qiu’s heart move.
In this dangerous world, getting injured is probably commonplace. Having this healing ability is undoubtedly an extra layer of life-saving trump card.
At the bottom of the panel, there is a line of small text prompting: “More advanced functions will be unlocked after the host’s total fat content, total fat consumption, or meeting specific conditions.
Please work hard to accumulate fat and actively explore the system’s functions.”
Ye Qiu carefully read every word on the system panel, word by word, for fear of missing any important information.
His heart was pounding with excitement and anticipation.
This system is so powerful! Although the functions currently unlocked seem relatively “rudimentary”, its potential is endless.
Bad luck can be used to deal with enemies, goodwill can be used to improve interpersonal relationships, wealth can solve survival problems, and treatment can ensure life safety.
And this is just the beginning!
He noticed a key point: the driving of all functions requires the consumption of fat.
Whether it’s inflicting bad luck, gaining favor, or future wealth and treatment, the root lies in the fat in his body.
Fat, fat, and more fat!
A bold and determined idea, like a spark that set the prairie on fire, suddenly rose in his heart and quickly occupied his entire mind.
“Must stay fat! Even fatter!”
He opened his eyes, and there was a light in them that he had never seen before.
In this super seminary world full of dangers and gods and demons, fat is no longer a bloated burden to him, no longer a burden on health, and certainly not a defect that draws ridicule.
No! Fat is the source of his strength! It’s his confidence in facing the unknown! It’s the foundation of his life! It’s his greatest reliance on changing his ordinary, even somewhat tragic, fate!
He slowly raised his hand and touched the thick and soft fat on his stomach.
Those layers of fat once made him feel extremely troubled and inferior, and every time he looked in the mirror, he wanted to cut them off.
But now, when his fingertips touched the warm and elastic fat, an indescribable sense of intimacy and security arose spontaneously.
These fats are so lovely and precious! They are no longer a burden, but his most loyal companion and the reserve of his strength.
“From today on, I will engrave the word ‘obesity’ into my motto!” Ye Qiu solemnly declared in his heart.
He was even somewhat thankful that he had inexplicably increased his appetite after traveling through time. Otherwise, with his previous weight, he probably wouldn’t have been able to even cast a few primary bad luck spells.
He took a deep breath, his chest filled with ambition.
So what if it was a Super Seminary world? So what if there were aliens? As long as he had enough fat, he had endless possibilities! He even began to imagine that if he gained enough weight, he would be able to unlock even more powerful abilities, like “powerful bad luck,” “deep affection,” “huge wealth,” “rapid regeneration,” and so on.
Thinking of this, a big smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of longing and desire for the future.
His life will be completely changed because of this “fat burning system”!
After making up his mind to continue to lose weight, Ye Qiu’s eyes naturally turned to the glittering “Small Wealth” function on the system panel.
He is penniless now, and his pockets are cleaner than his face.
The few hundred dollars that he had “picked up” from the gangsters had already been spent on basic food and drink over the past few days.
If this system had not appeared in time, he might really have to consider going under the overpass to compete with homeless people for territory.
“Small Wealth: Consume fat and randomly obtain a certain amount of cash from this world.
The instructions were simple, but to Ye Qiu, they were like the sound of nature.
Consuming fat for money? That sounded like a great deal! Fat was the most abundant and easiest thing for him to replenish.
He licked his dry lips and thought about it.
According to the system panel, his current total fat mass is 85.6 kg.
This number made him feel a little relieved, but at the same time he felt it was far from enough.
After all, who knows what situations you will encounter in the future and how much fat you will need to consume?
“The minimum consumption is 0.5kg of fat…” Ye Qiu pondered.
How much can you exchange 0.5kg of fat for? The system says “a certain amount will be obtained randomly”, and this “certain amount” is very particular.
If 0.5kg of fat only costs a few dozen dollars, then the cost-effectiveness is too low.
He decided to be a little more “generous”. After all, it was his first attempt, and he had to see where the upper and lower limits of this function were.
Moreover, he really needed some start-up capital.
“System, I want to use the ‘small wealth’ function.”
Ye Qiu muttered to himself.
On the system panel, the “Small Wealth” icon lit up slightly, and then a small confirmation box popped up.
“Host, please confirm the amount of fat consumed (0.5kg-5kg).”
Ye Qiu thought about it. Although he was fat now, he was not super fat. Every kilogram of fat was precious to him and was a reserve for him to display other abilities in the future.
He decided to start with a moderate amount.
“Buy 1kg of fat and exchange it for a small fortune.”
He carefully gave instructions in his mind.
As his command was confirmed, a prompt immediately appeared on the system panel: “Command received, consuming 1kg of fat…”
Almost at the same time, Ye Qiu felt that there seemed to be a subtle change in his body.
Unlike when using “Bad Luck” or “Weak Favor” where there was a noticeable sense of energy extraction, this time the feeling was more like… a certain substance inside the body was quietly dissolved.
He subconsciously touched his stomach. The fat there seemed to be… a little less? Although it was not obvious, he did feel a little lighter.
Not the kind of relief you get after exercise, but a substantial, weight-loss feeling.
Then, the system prompt sounded again: “Fat consumption successful, a total of 1kg consumed.
“Small amount of wealth” has been distributed, please check it.”
Check? Where to check? Ye Qiu was stunned.
Could it be that the money is directly transferred to a non-existent bank card?
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly felt something poking at the right pocket of his jeans, which had been washed a little pale.
He had an idea and quickly reached into his pocket to feel around.
The next second, his fingers touched a stack of thick and resilient paper.
Ye Qiu’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He held his breath and took the stack of things out of his pocket.
When he saw clearly what was in his hand, his eyes widened instantly and his breathing became heavy.
It was a brand new stack of 100-yuan Chinese currency! The faint scent of ink was still tangible, and the edges were neat, clearly having been withdrawn from the bank not long ago.
“This…this…” Ye Qiu’s hands were trembling a little.
He never dreamed that this “small wealth” function would be so simple and crude to put cash directly into his pocket! This is even more magical than magic!
He suppressed his inner ecstasy and excitement, looked around, and found that everyone in the park was busy with their own things and no one noticed anything unusual on his side.
He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly clenched the stack of money, lowered his head, and began to count it quickly.
One, two, three…
His fingers were a little less flexible due to excitement, but he still tried hard to twist them one by one.
…Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!
A full three thousand yuan!
One kilogram of fat in exchange for three thousand dollars in cash!
Ye Qiu’s heart was pounding, almost jumping out of his throat.
This is simply a business that makes a lot of money with no investment! No, it can’t be said to be without investment, his “investment” is the fat he worked so hard to eat!
Three thousand yuan might have been only half a month’s to a month’s salary for him before, but for Ye Qiu, who was now penniless and without any relatives, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money! It was enough to solve his immediate needs and also allow him to indulge in luxury.
He held the three thousand yuan tightly, his palms sweating slightly from the force.
An unprecedented sense of security and confidence rises from the bottom of my heart.
Having money means he can buy food and replenish fat; having money means he doesn’t have to worry about his livelihood for the time being, and has more time and energy to study the system and adapt to the world.
“Great! This system is simply my reborn parent!” Ye Qiu shouted silently in his heart.
He carefully put the money back into his trouser pocket and buttoned his pocket, fearing that the “ill-gotten gains” would disappear.
After the joy, his stomach made a rumbling sound at the right time.
I just consumed 1kg of fat. Although my body feels lighter, it also brings an indescribable feeling of emptiness.
This feeling of emptiness is not just physical hunger, but also an instinctive warning of “loss of power”.
“No, we have to quickly replenish the fat we have consumed!” Ye Qiu made a decision immediately.
Fat is his ammunition. If the ammunition depot is not full, he will feel uneasy.
Besides, he’s rich now! Three thousand yuan is enough for him to have a good meal!
Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s face.
He stood up, brushed off the dust on his pants, and walked towards the park entrance with high spirits.
The first thing he had to do was take a taxi! He hadn’t experienced the convenience of taking a taxi in a long time. In the past, he had to walk or squeeze into the slow bus.
When he reached the park entrance, he reached out without hesitation to stop a passing taxi.
“Master, let’s go to the city center and find the most prosperous commercial district!” Ye Qiu opened the car door, sat in, and said proudly.
The driver looked at him in the rearview mirror and saw that although he was dressed casually, he had an inexplicable excitement and confidence on his face. He nodded and started the car.
Sitting in the soft back seat of the taxi, Ye Qiu looked at the street scenes passing by outside the window, his heart full of anticipation for the future.
He wanted to have a big meal, replenish fat, and enjoy the happiness brought to him by this wealth that came so easily.
He touched the thick stack of money in his pocket, then touched the fat on his belly. A strange sense of cycle formed in his mind: consume fat for money, use money to buy food to replenish fat, and more fat means more money, or stronger abilities.
This is simply a perfect closed loop!
“Buffet! Yes, let’s go to the buffet!” Ye Qiu quickly determined the target.
What better place to quickly and generously consume a variety of high-calorie foods than at a buffet? He decided to find a top-notch buffet restaurant and treat himself to his ill-gotten gains. More importantly, he wanted to double back on the precious 1kg of fat he had just consumed!
The taxi stopped in the bustling downtown commercial district.
Ye Qiu paid the fare and for the first time felt how easy and pleasant it was to spend money.
He stood on the street lined with tall buildings, looked at the dazzling array of shops and the endless stream of people around him, and took a deep breath.
The air was filled with the smell of money and desire, which he once avoided, but now he found this smell particularly charming.
He opened the map on his phone (luckily his phone had come with him when he traveled through time, and although he couldn’t make calls, some basic functions were still usable, and the network in this world seemed to be open), and searched for a high-end buffet restaurant nearby.
Soon, a restaurant called “Jinhai Pavilion International Food Buffet” attracted his attention.
Judging from the pictures and reviews online, this restaurant has an elegant environment, rich ingredients, and an excellent reputation. Of course, the prices are also not cheap.
“This is it!” Ye Qiu made the decision without hesitation.
He is now a “rich man” with a huge sum of three thousand yuan in his hands, so naturally he wants to experience the best.
Following the instructions on the map, he quickly found the “Jinhai Pavilion” located on the top floor of a luxurious commercial building.
Taking the sightseeing elevator directly to the top floor, as the elevator door opened, a mixture of aromas of various delicacies hit Ye Qiu in the face, making his stomach growl even more happily.
The entrance of the restaurant is decorated magnificently, and the receptionist is wearing an elegant cheongsam and has a sweet smile.
Ye Qiu straightened his wrinkled collar, trying to make himself look less shabby.
He walked to the front desk and said in a calm tone, “Hello, Mr.
Chapter 8: The Freak from the Super Seminary? No, It’s Your Grandfather! (Old Version)
”
The receptionist smiled and led him into the restaurant.
As soon as he walked into the dining area, Ye Qiu was instantly shocked by the scene before him.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is a bustling city scene, and sunlight shines through the glass into the exhibition hall, illuminating every corner.
Inside the restaurant, there is a sea of delicious food.
The dazzling array of food was clearly displayed in the sections, from the fresh lobsters, crabs, and oysters in the chilled seafood section, to the various exquisite sushi and sashimi in the Japanese section; from the freshly fried steaks, roasted lamb legs, and pizza in the Western section, to the various stir-fries, steamed dishes, and stews in the Chinese section; and the colorful cakes, mousses, and ice cream in the dessert section, as well as various high-calorie fried foods such as fried chicken, French fries, and onion rings. There was simply everything available, and he was dazzled by the sight.
The air is filled with the aroma of barbecue, the salty and fresh seafood, and the sweetness of cream. All kinds of flavors are intertwined to form a symphony that makes people’s mouths water.
Ye Qiu felt like his saliva was about to flow down.
Where had he seen such a scene before? In his previous life, he would occasionally go to ordinary buffets with friends for a few dozen yuan per person. The variety and freshness of the dishes were a world apart from what he saw here.
Without hesitation, he picked up a huge dinner plate and began his “sweeping” journey.
He rushed to the seafood area first.
He loves seafood the most, but he used to be reluctant to eat more because it was expensive.
Now it was different, he wanted to eat his fill! He grabbed a plate full of snow crab legs, a few huge Argentinian red shrimp, and a bunch of fresh oysters and scallops.
Then there is the barbecue area.
On the sizzling oven, the chef is cutting a huge grilled steak on the spot.
Ye Qiu ordered a large piece without hesitation. The meat was tender and juicy.
There were also grilled lamb chops and grilled chicken wings on the side, and he didn’t miss them and ordered some of each.
Next is the fried food section.
Golden crispy fried chicken legs, fragrant French fries, crispy onion rings, these are all high-calorie “fat bombs”, which are exactly what he needs now.
He filled the empty spaces on his plate with these things without hesitation.
Finally, he passed by the dessert area and looked at the cakes and mousses that were as exquisite as works of art, and couldn’t help but take a few pieces.
Tiramisu, Black Forest, mango mousse, each one exudes an enticing sweet aroma.
When he returned to his seat carrying the food plates piled up like a mountain, he attracted vague glances from some of the diners around him.
But he didn’t care. He only had one thought in mind: eat! Make up for the fat he had consumed, and the more the better!
He found a seat by the window and sat down. Outside the window was the prosperous scene of Juxia City, while inside the window was the feast that was about to begin.
He first picked up a huge Argentine red shrimp, peeled off the shell, revealing the tender and plump shrimp meat inside, dipped it in some soy sauce and mustard, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The shrimp meat was chewy and smooth, with a hint of salty seawater and a slight kick of mustard, instantly activating his taste buds.
“Delicious! So delicious!” Ye Qiu squinted his eyes happily.
Then there are the oysters, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on them and slide them directly into your mouth.
The unique taste of plump, smooth and ocean-flavored food made him unable to stop.
Next came the grilled steak, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong meaty aroma.
He chewed it in big mouthfuls, feeling the pleasure of the meat juices bursting in his mouth.
The foie gras melted in his mouth, and the rich aroma of fat spread on the tip of his tongue. The delicate and smooth taste made him feel like every taste bud was cheering.
The sweet and delicious cake, the dense and smooth mousse, each one made him feel extremely satisfied.
He ate with great pleasure, his mouth full of oil.
He was completely immersed in the world of food and forgot everything around him.
He just instinctively and greedily put all kinds of high-calorie, high-fat foods into his mouth and swallowed them.
While eating, he could clearly feel that as the food was digested, streams of warm currents gathered in his body and then turned into his most precious fat.
The slight feeling of emptiness caused by consuming 1kg of fat gradually disappeared with the continuous intake of food, and was replaced by an unprecedented sense of fullness and satisfaction.
This feeling is so wonderful! It is not only a pleasure for the taste buds, but also a double pleasure for the body and mind.
He could feel that the number representing “total fat” on the system panel was slowly and steadily climbing up.
He kept getting up and getting his food again and again.
He had an astonishing appetite and would quickly finish all the food on his plate. Then he would carry the empty plate and excitedly look for new targets.
The diners and waiters around him looked at him with a look of surprise that gradually turned into a complex expression mixed with wonder, admiration and even a hint of fear.
They probably had never seen anyone who ate so much.
One person ate almost the amount of food that three or four people normally eat, and judging from his posture, it seemed that he was far from reaching his limit.
The restaurant manager also noticed this “special” guest.
He was a middle-aged man in a neat suit. At first, he just observed from a distance, but later, seeing that Ye Qiu’s fighting ability was too strong, he couldn’t help but come over in person. Standing not far away, he looked at him with a look that was both curious and a little worried, fearing that he would bankrupt the restaurant.
But Ye Qiu didn’t care about these strange looks at all.
He immersed himself in his own world of gourmet food, enjoying the feeling of fullness as fat accumulated again in his body.
He felt like a dry sponge, absorbing water frantically.
He spent three hours eating this meal!
From noon to tea time, he tried almost all the high-calorie foods that interested him in the restaurant.
He ate three pieces of steak, a lot of seafood, all kinds of fried foods, and a lot of desserts.
He stopped only when he felt his stomach had stretched to its limit, even his breath carried the aroma of food, and he could no longer fit anything else in. Then he stopped with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
He leaned back in his chair, burped contentedly, touched his belly which had swelled up again, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
“Great! So great!”
He felt that the fat reserves in his body not only completely made up for the 1kg he had consumed before, but was even a little more than before.
He checked the system panel and saw that the total fat had indeed risen from 84.6kg (after burning 1kg) to 87.

Chapter 9: Training? No, I’m just enjoying myself! (Old Version)
2kg, net gain of 2.6kg! This meal made him gain 2.6kg of pure fat, this efficiency is amazing!
He wiped his mouth with a napkin, then slowly stood up and prepared to pay the bill.
With the money exchanged by the system, he not only successfully replenished precious fat, but also experienced a luxurious life that he could never have imagined in his previous life.
He was deeply intoxicated by the feeling of being able to do whatever he wanted, eat and drink to his heart’s content, without having to worry about money or other people’s opinions.
He decided that this was how he would live his life from now on! As long as he had fat, he could have everything! Delicious food, wealth, and even greater power!
When checking out, the waiter at the front desk looked at the amount on the bill, then looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes full of disbelief.
Ye Qiu alone spent nearly a thousand yuan on this buffet (because some special high-end ingredients were limited or charged separately).
But Ye Qiu didn’t care. He took out the stack of still warm bills from his pocket, pulled out ten one-hundred-yuan bills and handed them over with a cool and casual movement.
Keep the change, please.
He said this lightly, and under the waiter’s surprised gaze, he left the luxurious buffet restaurant with slightly heavy but powerful steps.
Walking out of the restaurant and basking in the afternoon sun, Ye Qiu felt as if he had been reborn.
He is no longer the humble, weak time traveler who worries about his livelihood.
He now has the key to changing his destiny, and this key is in his own hands, or rather, stored in his increasingly plump body.
He took a taxi and instead of returning to the shabby rental house, he went straight to a motel that looked pretty good and stayed there.
He needs a more comfortable and safer environment to plan his future and how to make better use of this magical “fat burning system”.
Lying on the soft big bed in the hotel, Ye Qiu called up the system panel again.
Looking at the unlocked functions, his heart was filled with the desire to explore.
He has already experienced the “bad luck” function, and the effect is significant, and the consumption is not high. The primary bad luck only requires 0.1kg of fat.
I have also tried the “weak affection” function. Although the effect is just a smile, it has great potential and consumes less, only 0.05kg.
The “small wealth” function allowed him to exchange 1kg of fat for 3,000 yuan, which was extremely cost-effective and solved his urgent needs.
Now, the only thing left to try is the “light treatment” function.
However, he couldn’t test the healing function on himself for no reason, and he didn’t want to hurt himself for the sake of testing.
It is better to save this function until it is needed.
So, what’s next?
After replenishing the fat and experiencing a luxurious life, Ye Qiu did not choose to stay in the hotel comfortably and enjoy himself.
He knew that simply replenishing fat and gaining wealth would not allow him to truly gain a foothold in this unknown world.
He also needs to have a more comprehensive understanding and mastery of the system’s capabilities, especially the “bad luck” function that has brought him so much success.
He began to consciously wander around every corner of Juxia City like a ghost hunter in the city, but what he hunted was not lives, but “troubles” – those targets that would allow him to test the power and diversity of the system’s “bad luck” function.
He wanted to know what the upper limit of the effect of “primary bad luck” was, and how different levels of bad luck would be produced by different amounts of fat consumption.
He also wanted to see whether this bad luck effect would be affected by some characteristics of the target itself, such as willpower, luck value (if any), etc.
On the first day, he was at a bus stop.
It was the rush hour after get off work and there was a long queue of people waiting for the bus.
Although the line was long, it was still orderly.
At this time, a burly man with a face full of flesh and a big gold chain around his neck walked over unsteadily with a cigarette in his mouth.
He ignored the long line and went straight to the front.
The people in the front line dared not speak out, after all, the strong man looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
A few people murmured a few words, and the strong man immediately widened his eyes and cursed viciously: “What are you looking at? If you look again, I will beat you up!”
The people around him suddenly fell silent and avoided his gaze.
Ye Qiu stood at the end of the team, watching everything coldly.
He hates people who don’t follow the rules and bully others the most.
In the past, when he encountered such a situation, he could only despise it silently in his heart, or simply move to another place.
But now, he has the power to change all that.
“That’s you.”
Ye Qiu sneered in his heart.
He concentrated his mind and gave the system an order: “Target locked, strong man cutting in line ahead.
Consume 0.1kg of fat and apply ‘primary bad luck’ to it.”
Almost at the moment when he finished thinking, he felt a slight warmth in his abdomen, and a tiny bit of fat was consumed.
At the same time, he clearly felt an invisible, slightly malicious energy spreading out from his body, landing precisely on the burly man who was triumphantly pushing towards the car door.
The burly man had just squeezed to the front of the line, with one foot already on the steps of the bus, and an arrogant smile on his face.
At this moment, something strange happened!
His foot that was on the ground seemed to be tripped by something and suddenly slipped!
“Pah!”
A dull sound.
The burly man’s body, like a puppet with its strings cut, fell forward in an extremely awkward posture, landing headfirst on his back, his face hitting the dusty concrete floor.
The cigarette in his mouth also flew out, and the thick gold chain broke into two pieces with a snap due to the huge impact force, and the gold beads scattered all over the ground.
“Ouch! Oh my God!” The strong man let out a painful groan, and the arrogance on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by pain and embarrassment.
The people waiting for the bus were stunned at first, and then burst into uncontrollable laughter.
“Hahaha, you deserve it! I told you not to cut in line!”
“Retribution! Good fall!”
“Look, he seems to have stepped on a banana peel!”
Ye Qiu looked carefully and found that, sure enough, at the place where the strong man fell, there was a discarded, blackened banana peel lying there alone, as if it was a “surprise” specially prepared for him.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the sturdy man crawled up from the ground, covered in dust. His nose seemed to be broken, with two lines of blood flowing out, and one of his front teeth seemed to be loose.
Chapter 10: Luxurious Single Room! Ye Qiu Treats the Base Like a Resort! (Old Version)
He picked up the broken gold chain and looked at the gold beads rolling on the ground. He screamed in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
The bus driver also stuck his head out and urged him impatiently: “Are you getting on the bus or not? If not, I’ll close the door!”
The strong man knew he was in the wrong and was knocked unconscious by the fall, so he had no face to squeeze in again. He could only glare at the people around him fiercely, limped to the side, and thought he was unlucky.
Looking at this scene, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s lips.
He was very satisfied with the result of losing 0.1kg of fat.
The feeling of secretly manipulating things and teaching the bad guys a lesson is really great.
The next day, Ye Qiu was strolling in a park again.
The park should be quiet and peaceful in the early morning, but a group of middle-aged women turned up the speakers for square dancing at full volume, playing popular internet songs with a strong sense of rhythm.
The huge volume not only disturbed the people doing morning exercises nearby, but even people in nearby residential buildings opened their windows and glared at the noise, but they obviously dared not speak out.
Several young people who tried to step forward to negotiate were also retorted by the aunties, “How does our exercise bother you?”
Ye Qiu frowned.
He understands the need for elderly people to exercise, but this behavior of disregarding the feelings of others and seriously disturbing others is a bit too much.
He activated the system again.
This time, he increased the dose a little.
“Target locked, square dance speakers ahead.
Consume 0.2kg of fat and apply ‘primary bad luck’ to them, focusing on electronic equipment malfunctions.”
He tried to give the bad luck effect a general direction.
The feeling of fat burning came again, slightly more obvious than last time.
Just when the aunties were dancing enthusiastically and the speakers were playing at full speed, the huge speakers suddenly made a sharp electrical noise, followed by a faint black smoke and a burnt smell coming out of the speakers.
The music stopped abruptly.
The aunties stopped dancing suddenly and looked at the broken speaker in surprise.
“Hey? What’s going on? Why is there no sound?”
“Is the battery out? That’s impossible, it was just charged.”
“Xiao Wang, go and have a look, why is the sound system broken?” an aunt who was leading the dance shouted anxiously.
The auntie called Xiao Wang fiddled with it for a long time, pulling out the plug and pressing buttons, but the speaker didn’t respond at all and was completely “dead”.
The surrounding residents and people doing morning exercises all had expressions of relief on their faces, and some even laughed secretly.
After struggling for a long time, the aunties finally had no choice but to accept the fact that the audio system was broken. They packed up the equipment and left the park in disappointment.
A “crisis” of noise nuisance was thus resolved.
Ye Qiu stood not far away, looking at the dejected looks of those aunties who usually seemed arrogant and domineering, and felt an unprecedented pleasure in his heart.
This kind of pleasure does not come from gloating, but from the satisfaction brought by “control”.
He is no longer the weak person who can only passively accept reality. He can use his own way to quietly change some things that he dislikes.
In the next few days, Ye Qiu happily wandered around the city, looking for various targets that could test the “bad luck” function.
He caused a spitter to slip on his own spit after spitting.
He showed a person who was talking loudly on the phone in public, oblivious to the people around him, and his phone suddenly fell into a puddle on the side of the road.
He had a few hooligans who tried to bully stray cats and dogs inexplicably chased all over the street by wild dogs that suddenly appeared.
Every successful application of “bad luck” gave him a deeper understanding of the system.
He found that the effects of “primary bad luck” were indeed “mild,” usually not causing serious personal injury or huge property damage, but enough to make the target feel troubled, embarrassed, and unlucky.
Moreover, the amount of fat consumed does have a certain relationship with the intensity of bad luck.
Consuming 0.1kg might just result in a fall on the ground; consuming 0.3kg might cause the other person’s bicycle chain to break suddenly, or their wallet to fall out accidentally; and when he tried to consume 0.5kg of fat to bring bad luck to a guy who littered, the guy had just finished throwing the garbage when a flower pot on the air conditioner outdoor unit above his head inexplicably fell down. Although it didn’t hit him, it grazed his scalp and fell to his feet, breaking into pieces. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he was unable to recover for a long time.
Ye Qiu also discovered that his “guidance” of the bad luck effect did have a certain effect.
For example, if he wants electronic equipment to malfunction, then the electronic equipment around the target will be more likely to have problems.
This feeling of being a “city hunter” or “the mastermind” made Ye Qiu addicted to it.
He is not a born bad person, but he likes the feeling of using his own power to “correct” some phenomena that he thinks are unfair or uncivilized, even if such correction is of a mischievous nature.
Of course, he also knew that this ability should not be abused.
Every bit of fat he consumes is a guarantee for his future.
Therefore, the targets he chose were mostly some useful tools. He regarded this as a test and proficiency process for the system’s functions.
Just as Ye Qiu was immersed in the joy of using the system to “do justice” (or as he put it, more like “playing pranks”), and trying to replenish and increase his fat reserves by eating and drinking a lot, he did not notice that the city he was in, Juxia City, and even the sky of the whole world, were quietly undergoing some subtle and disturbing changes.
At first, they were just isolated cases.
Occasionally, on a clear night, a strange light, unlike any known aircraft, would streak across the sky at an extremely high speed.
The light was so fast and its brightness was not particularly amazing. It often just flashed by for a moment, so fast that people thought it was an illusion, or a meteor, or the reflection of the lights of a night flight.
Soon after, residents in some remote areas, especially sparsely populated mountainous areas or near uninhabited islands, began to claim to have seen strange flying objects crashing.
Chapter 11 Ge Xiaolun cried in anger: Why doesn’t he need to train! (Old version)
The descriptions of these sightings varied. Some said it was disc-shaped, some said it was cigar-shaped, and some simply couldn’t describe the shape. They only said that the thing was emitting flames, trailing thick smoke, and then disappeared below the horizon.
The official response to these sporadic reports was always swift and unified.
They will soon come out to refute the rumors, saying that the so-called “UFOs” are nothing more than high-altitude weather balloons released by meteorological research departments, or visual errors caused by secret military exercises conducted by certain countries, or some natural phenomena such as ball lightning have been misunderstood.
The official explanation sounds reasonable and also presents some plausible “evidence”, such as photos of the wreckage of the weather balloon (although no one knows whether they were taken afterwards) or vague military exercise announcements.
Most citizens who are accustomed to a stable life have gradually dispelled their doubts in the face of the “scientific explanation” of authoritative agencies.
After all, things like “aliens” sound more like plots in science fiction movies and are too far away from their real lives.
Who would really believe that things that only exist in imagination will suddenly appear before them?
However, the truth will eventually come out.
Although the authorities have repeatedly refuted the rumors and tried to minimize the impact of these abnormal events, rumors that “aliens may have come to Earth” or “aliens are about to come” are still spreading quietly among the citizens like an underwater undercurrent.
These rumors were initially spread only in a small range in some online forums and chat groups, and the content was mostly groundless and exaggerated.
But as the frequency of unusual events seemed to slowly increase, and eyewitness accounts became increasingly detailed and factual, the rumors began to seep into real life.
After dinner, people would talk half-jokingly and half-seriously about the “strange things” they had heard recently.
Some people with rich imagination even began to make up various horror stories about the appearance of aliens, such as having three heads and six arms, green faces and fangs, feeding on humans, etc. Although absurd, they successfully sowed the seeds of fear in the hearts of some timid people.
Juxia City, as a prosperous modern international metropolis, is naturally not immune to the invasion of this undercurrent.
Although the pace of the city is still fast, the neon lights are still flashing, and most citizens still live an ordinary life from nine to five, struggling for their livelihoods, a vague shadow has begun to quietly cast a shadow over the heart of this city.
The news media also began to smell something unusual.
Some bolder or more curious media began to report indirectly on phenomena that could not be explained by common sense.
They dare not directly challenge the official statement, but will use some ambiguous titles, such as “Mysterious light bands appeared in the night sky, experts say it may be a rare atmospheric phenomenon”, or “Residents in many places witnessed unidentified objects falling, causing ecological concerns” and so on.
These reports are often accompanied by blurry photos or processed video clips, attempting to attract the public’s attention and guide public opinion to the maximum extent without crossing the red line.
But the results were minimal, as the lack of solid evidence meant these reports were more likely to be dismissed as “attention-seeking” and “panic-creating.”
Most citizens are still immersed in their own little world.
What they care about is today’s stock price, tomorrow’s mortgage, their children’s education, and the TV series they watch at night.
Most of them just laugh at those distant and illusory “alien” legends, thinking them to be nonsense, or regard them as a novel topic of conversation.
They lack a clear understanding of the imminent huge crisis and lack the necessary vigilance.
They are like frogs in warm water, unaware that the water temperature is rising little by little and a storm that could overturn the entire world is brewing.
At this time, Ye Qiu was still focused on his “fat business” and “bad luck test”.
He would also hear some discussions about “UFOs” and “aliens” while eating and watching the news, or on the streets.
He didn’t take it too seriously.
On the one hand, he was a science fiction fan in his previous life and had long been “immune” to this kind of news, thinking that most of it was rumors or hype.
On the other hand, all his attention is now focused on how to better utilize the system, how to accumulate more fat, and how to survive in this strange world.
To him, aliens and world crises are not as real as the fat in his belly.
After all, fat is a tangible source of strength, while those illusory crises are too far away from him.
Occasionally, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would look out the window at the dazzling night view of Juxia City, and a guess about the world background of this “Super Seminary” would flash through his mind.
He vaguely remembered that the name seemed to be related to some grand war and cosmic civilization.
But he couldn’t remember the specific details.
“Who cares? If the sky falls, there’s someone tall enough to hold it up.”
Ye Qiu always comforts himself in this way.
The most important thing for him now is to feed himself fatter and thoroughly explore the various functions of the system.
As long as he becomes strong enough, he will have more power to protect himself no matter what happens in the future.
He didn’t know that the “initial emergence of anomalies” and “undercurrents of rumors” that he temporarily ignored were the prelude to the beginning of that magnificent era.
And he, the time traveler who accidentally obtained the “fat consumption system”, will in the near future be involuntarily drawn into this storm that sweeps the entire universe.
But at least for now, he is still enjoying this rare peace and the little pleasure brought by utilizing the system, and working hard to accumulate the “fuel” for himself to survive in this dangerous world.
To him, those strange visions in the sky and rumors on the streets were more like the background music of distant stories, setting off his focused life with a hint of secret joy at the moment.
Ye Qiu acted indifferent to the increasing number of abnormal incidents in the city and the rampant rumors of aliens.
He leaned back in the soft sofa, his legs resting comfortably on the coffee table, holding a bucket of family-sized fried chicken in one hand, while his other hand deftly manipulated the TV remote control, switching channels out of boredom.
In the news, the host was reporting in a tone of feigned calmness about a riot of “unknown cause” in a certain area. Although the picture had been processed, some chaotic scenes could be vaguely seen.
Chapter 12: Lena is dumbfounded: How dare this fat guy ignore this goddess? (Old version)
On the Internet, various headline-grabbing titles have exaggerated the words “alien invasion” to make them sound shocking, accompanied by some blurry pictures and so-called “eyewitness testimonies”, causing panic among the people.
Ye Qiu yawned and stuffed a large piece of fragrant chicken leg into his mouth. The aroma of the oil instantly filled his mouth, making him squint his eyes in satisfaction.
He knew the direction of the plot of this world in his previous life. The invasion of Taotie was a matter of time, a disaster that would sweep the world.
But in his opinion, so what? If the sky falls, there will naturally be those so-called heroes, those tall people who shoulder the responsibility to hold it up.
He now possesses a fat system, a magical artifact that can convert fat into various magical abilities. This is the foundation of his survival.
He chewed the chicken, his eyes sweeping over the panicked crowd on the TV screen, a barely perceptible smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
For him, focusing on his “fat business” is the serious matter.
As long as he has enough fat reserves, he can continue to strengthen himself, whether it is to improve his physical fitness or exchange for those incredible skills, which can allow him to ensure his absolute safety in the upcoming chaotic world, and even live a better life than anyone else.
Saving the world, national justice, all of these are too far away and too heavy, far less real than the fried chicken in front of us and the comfort in the future.
He used the money directly exchanged from the system, which was completely legal in this world, to rent a well-decorated apartment in an upscale community called “Yujingyuan” in the city center.
The apartment is quite large, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, a wide view, and most importantly, tight security and a quiet environment, making it very suitable for someone like him who likes quiet and doesn’t like to be disturbed.
He deliberately chose a high floor. Standing in front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, he could overlook the bustling scene of almost half of the city.
After settling down, Ye Qiu began his crazy stockpiling plan.
He hardly ever leaves the house and relies entirely on online shopping.
Potato chips, in various flavors, original, tomato, barbecue, cucumber, filled an entire locker, and the colorful packaging bags looked like a colorful wall.
Chocolate, milk, dark, filled, nut-filled, from ordinary blocks to exquisite gift boxes, fills the refrigerator’s freezer compartment.
As for fried chicken, he even studied the takeout menus of all the fast food restaurants and fried chicken specialty stores in the city, and ordered different flavors every day, including original, spicy, garlic, and peppercorns. The takeout boxes often piled up like a small mountain in the entrance.
Coke, bought in boxes and boxes, original Coke, Coke Zero, and vanilla Coke, occupied another corner of the kitchen.
Ice cream of various brands and flavors, including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, matcha, and rum, fills the freezer of the huge double-door refrigerator tightly. As soon as you open the door, you can feel a sweet chill.
In addition, there are high-sugar cakes, bread, donuts, high-fat nuts, butter, cheese, as well as various instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, and canned foods.
His apartment is more of a huge warehouse of high-calorie food than a home.
Every time the delivery guy came to deliver the food, he would show surprise and a bit of strangeness when he saw the amount of food he ordered. He probably thought he was a weirdo with an amazing appetite, or a social butterfly who was about to throw a party.
Ye Qiu didn’t care about it at all. He just signed for it silently and then moved these “strategic materials” into the house.
For him, these “junk foods” that nutritionists avoid are now the guarantee of his strength, his solid backing against all future uncertainties, and his hope for the future.
Every time he opened the refrigerator and saw the dazzling array of food inside, Ye Qiu felt an unprecedented sense of security and satisfaction.
He would casually take out a can of iced cola, unscrew the cap, listen to the slight “sizzle” sound, then take a big gulp, feeling the cool and sweet liquid sliding down his throat. That feeling of pleasure made him feel that life was full of hope.
Fat is everything to him.
He was even looking forward to how powerful he would become when all the food was converted into fat and then transformed into strength through the system.
The commotion on the edge of the city and the rumors on the Internet are like the wind and rain outside the window. Although noisy, they have no effect on him who is sitting comfortably in a warm little house.
He would occasionally glance at the news and see the so-called “experts” analyzing various possibilities on TV and the military spokespersons righteously refuting the rumors, which he simply found ridiculous.
They knew nothing, but he had a clear understanding of the great changes that were about to happen in this world.
But he didn’t intend to do anything, didn’t intend to remind anyone, and didn’t intend to be a savior.
He just wanted to quietly accumulate fat, wait for the plot to unfold, and then, when necessary, give himself the most comfortable and safest position.
“Fat, fat, my lovely fat…” Ye Qiu muttered to himself, picked up another piece of potato chips, stuffed it into his mouth, making a crisp “crunch, crunch” sound.
The world outside the window is in turmoil, but he inside the window is immersed in his own “fat business” and enjoys himself.
He even started planning whether to exchange some skills to improve his quality of life once his fat reserves were sufficient, such as “cooking master”, which would allow him to eat more delicious high-calorie food, or “environmental transformation”, which would make his nest warm in winter and cool in summer, making it extremely comfortable.
These thoughts swirled in his mind, making him full of “greasy” expectations for the future.
One evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a gorgeous orange-red.
Ye Qiu was shirtless, wearing only a pair of loose beach pants, leaning on a wicker lounge chair on the balcony of his apartment, feeling the coolness of the evening breeze blowing across his skin while leisurely enjoying a steaming 12-inch deluxe supreme pizza that had just been taken out of the oven.
The pizza is topped with thick cheese, sausage, bacon, green pepper, and mushroom, exuding a rich and tempting aroma.
He picked up a piece, pulled out long cheese strands, and took a big bite. The salty flavor of the meat, the sweetness of the vegetables, and the richness of the cheese blended perfectly together, making him squint his eyes in happiness.
“Well, that’s life.”
Ye Qiu sighed with satisfaction, picked up the iced cola next to him and took a big sip.
The cool liquid with stimulating bubbles slid into the throat, diluting the greasiness of the pizza and bringing a sense of refreshment.
Chapter 13: Fat for Resources! I Want to Be the Emperor in the Doomsday! (Old Version)
He swung his legs comfortably, looking into the distance, admiring the tranquility and beauty of the city at dusk.
The glass curtain walls of the high-rise buildings reflected the light of the setting sun, the streets were bustling with traffic, and everything looked so peaceful.
Suddenly, several dull explosions, like distant thunder, were heard from the edge of the city.
Although the sound was not loud, it seemed particularly abrupt in the relatively quiet evening.
Ye Qiu paused chewing slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Immediately afterwards, there were several more similar sounds, which were clearer than the previous ones.
He put down the pizza in his hand and picked up the high-powered military binoculars on the small table next to him.
This is a gadget he exchanged for system points. Although it is not a high-tech product, it has excellent optical performance and can see far and clearly.
He raised the telescope, adjusted the focus, and looked in the direction where the explosion came from.
Through the lens, the distant scene is quickly brought closer.
In a somewhat deserted area where the city and the suburbs met, he saw several dazzling flames shooting up into the sky, like flowers of death blooming in the darkness.
Thick black smoke columns rose up, appearing particularly dazzling against the orange-red sky.
Ye Qiu’s pupils contracted slightly as he observed carefully.
Soon, he captured several small metal aircraft moving quickly at low altitude.
Those aircraft have strange shapes and are full of a sci-fi feel that is not from Earth civilization. They have a dark metallic color all over and sparkle with a cold light in the sunset.
They were engaged in intense firefights with some targets on the ground.
On the ground, the outlines of some military vehicles and the figures of soldiers in combat uniforms were vaguely visible.
Energy beams shot out from the small aircraft, hitting the ground and causing a series of explosions and flames.
The ground troops were also fighting back hard, tracer bullets streaked across the dusk sky, forming a dense web of fire.
“Oh? It’s starting so soon?” A playful smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s lips.
He recognized that the small metal aircraft wreaking havoc in the sky were the vanguard scouts of the Taotie civilization, a small unmanned attack unit, or assault boats piloted by low-level Taotie soldiers.
Judging from their clothing and equipment, those fighting on the ground should be the Earth’s native JRX troops, whose full name is the Juxia City Rapid Reaction Force, which specializes in dealing with such sudden and small-scale supernatural and alien threat incidents.
The scale of this battle was not large, it was more like an exploratory encounter.
There were not many Taotie scouts, only about three or four, and the JRX troops reacted quite quickly, having formed an effective defense and counterattack formation.
Tongues of flames spewed continuously in the air and on the ground, explosions rang out one after another, and smoke filled the sky above the battlefield, dyeing the sky in that area a gray hue.
Ye Qiu watched with great interest, as if he was watching a science fiction movie with realistic special effects.
He was not afraid or nervous at all. Instead, he calmly analyzed the situation on the battlefield like an outsider.
Taotie’s aircraft is highly maneuverable and has extremely fierce firepower. The blue-white energy beam is quite powerful. Every hit can create a large hole in the ground or directly destroy a military vehicle.
The soldiers of the JRX unit also behaved quite bravely. Relying on bunkers and armored vehicles, they fought back with conventional weapons and some shoulder-fired missiles. Occasionally, they could hit one or two Taotie aircraft, causing them to stagger and fall with black smoke.
This battle, which took place on the edge of the city, was apparently not open to ordinary citizens.
Ye Qiu noticed that the roads around the battle area were quickly blocked, and some military vehicles and uniformed personnel were evacuating nearby residents and setting up cordons.
Presumably, the military will use excuses such as “military exercises” or “chemical plant explosions” to cover up the truth, block the news, and maintain social stability.
This is a routine operation, and Ye Qiu is well aware of it.
He put down the binoculars, picked up a piece of pizza and continued eating, as if what he had just witnessed was just an insignificant farce.
However, when he picked up the telescope again and saw a Taotie scout being hit and disintegrating and exploding in the air, and among the scattered debris was a piece that seemed to be the wreckage of a weapon launcher, his eyes moved slightly.
“Energy weapons…” Ye Qiu touched his chin and fell into thought.
Although the Taotie civilization is not top-notch in the universe, its technological level is more than enough to crush the current Earth.
The energy weapons they use far exceed the existing conventional kinetic weapons on Earth in terms of range, power and energy efficiency.
A thought flashed through his mind: “Can my system be exchanged for this alien technology? If I could get a standard laser rifle like the ones used by Taotie soldiers, or an energy cannon or something like that, wouldn’t it be much more impressive than using my fists or exchanging for some cold weapons? And safer?”
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu’s heart couldn’t help but feel hot.
Although he advocates lying down, it does not mean that he rejects having more powerful means of self-protection.
It would be great if we could obtain weapons that are ahead of our time without any effort.
He even began to imagine that he was holding a laser gun that flashed a faint blue light and could cut through steel plates with a casual wave. That scene must be very cool.
“System, come out for a moment.”
A cold and mechanical electronic synthesized voice sounded in his mind: “What are your orders, host?”
Ye Qiu licked his lips and asked expectantly, “System, I just saw those energy weapons used by those alien spaceships, like laser guns. Can they be exchanged through the system? Or, is there any way to obtain their technical information so I can build them myself?”
He waited for the system’s reply with hope, imagining rows of alien weapons shining with sci-fi light appearing in the system mall for him to choose from.
However, the system’s subsequent response was like a bucket of cold water, pouring down from head to toe.
“Detecting the host’s intended target…Target locked: Taotie civilization’s primary individual energy weapon technology.”
“Warning: The target technology level is detected to be beyond the host’s current redemption range, and the authority is insufficient.”
The cold electronic sound is devoid of emotion and clearly conveys a message of negation.
“Insufficient authority?
Chapter 14: The Provocateur’s End! The Instructor Had Diarrhea for Three Days! (Old Version)
“Ye Qiu curled his lips, a little disappointed, but also expected.
After all, it is alien technology. If it can be obtained so easily, then this system would be too amazing.
He smacked his lips and was about to give up the idea when the system’s voice rang out again:
“It is detected that the host is interested in scientific and technological projects. The system provides the following auxiliary options:”
Option 1: Consume 10kg of fat to permanently enhance the host’s understanding and learning ability of existing technology (Earth technology).
After strengthening, the host’s efficiency in learning, understanding, and applying Earth’s existing technology will be greatly improved.”
Option 2: Consume 50kg of fat to initially unlock the analysis module for low-level alien technology (such as some of the technology used by the Taotie Vanguard).
After unlocking, when the host comes into contact with relevant alien technology or detailed technical data, the system can assist in preliminary analysis, provide basic principles and partial reverse engineering possibilities, but cannot directly generate complete manufacturing technology.
Hearing these two options, Ye Qiu frowned slightly.
He stroked his chin, thinking carefully.
The first option is to enhance your understanding and learning ability of Earth technology and consume 10 kilograms of fat.
It sounds good. If he wants to be a scientist or engineer, this is definitely a great skill.
But the problem is that Ye Qiu is not interested in these at all.
He just wanted to lie down and enjoy life. Researching technology was too brain-intensive and too hard.
Instead of wasting time on that, it would be better to eat more and accumulate more fat.
For him, who just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death, no, who just wants to enjoy a comfortable life, this option does not seem to be cost-effective.
No matter how good his comprehension ability is, he doesn’t want to learn.
The second option initially unlocks the analysis module for low-level alien technology, consuming up to 50 kilograms of fat.
50 kilograms of fat is not a small amount.
According to his current “eating efficiency”, it would take him several days of hard work to accumulate enough food.
Moreover, the system clearly states that it is only a “preliminary unlock” and is “auxiliary analysis”, “providing basic principles and partial reverse engineering possibilities”, and finally emphasizes that “it is impossible to directly generate complete manufacturing technology.”
This means that even if he consumed 50 kilograms of fat to unlock this module, he could only have a vague understanding of alien technology at best. If he wanted to truly master and manufacture it, he would probably need a lot of research and experiments, as well as the corresponding industrial foundation.
This is also a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and is full of uncertainty.
“Tsk, one is not very useful, the other consumes too much energy, neither is very cost-effective.”
Although his current fat reserves have accumulated due to his previous crazy stockpiling and eating, every kilogram of fat is a valuable strategic resource for him.
These fats can be used to strengthen the body and can be exchanged for various practical skills, such as the “bad luck aura” and “favorability improvement” that have been used before. These skills can play an unexpected role at critical moments.
In comparison, whether it is strengthening the understanding of Earth’s science and technology or analyzing low-level alien technology, it seems a bit far-fetched and unrealistic.
He is not interested in the former, and the latter requires too much investment and no obvious benefits can be seen in the short term.
“Forget it,” Ye Qiu shook his head, temporarily putting this unrealistic idea aside, “For now, it’s more cost-effective to honestly accumulate fat and improve those simple, crude and practical skills.
For example, you can upgrade the level of the ‘Bad Luck Aura’, or see if there are any new life-saving skills that can be exchanged.
There’s no need to waste precious fat on something that won’t be used right now.”
He felt that instead of thinking about those illusory energy weapons, it would be more reassuring to eat a few more pizzas, drink a few more cans of Coke, and increase his fat reserves to the next level.
As long as he is “fat” enough, no, as long as he has enough fat reserves and is strong enough, he can deal with it calmly even if the Taotie army really attacks.
As for weapons, although conventional weapons on Earth cannot compare to alien technology, making some for self-defense, combined with his future strong physical fitness and special abilities, may not be ineffective.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu completely gave up the idea of exchanging or analyzing alien technology.
He picked up the still warm pizza again, took a big bite, and continued to enjoy his delicious food.
The battle outside the balcony was still going on, with explosions and flames coming from time to time, but to him, it was just a little different “background music” and “visual effects” added to the dinner.
“Well, pizza is still delicious.”
Ye Qiu mumbled incoherently, a satisfied smile on his face.
Fat is king!
In addition to enjoying delicious food and testing the various strange and bizarre functions of the system, Ye Qiu would occasionally pretend to pay attention to the news outside.
He was not really concerned about current affairs, but just wanted to use this public information, combined with his memories of his past life, to roughly judge which stage the current plot had reached, so as to better plan his “lying down” career.
He usually turns on the extra-large smart TV in his apartment and casually browses some military channels or online forums.
Recently, he noticed that sporadic reports and discussions about the “Super Seminary” began to appear in some relatively niche and professional military enthusiast forums, as well as in the comment sections of some less strictly controlled online news sections.
Most of this information is vague and full of speculation and uncertainty.
Some say that it is in a secret military base where the country is secretly training a group of soldiers with super powers; some describe it as a mysterious scientific research institution dedicated to studying the mutation and evolution of human genes; and some posts are even more outrageous, linking it to the advent of alien civilization, claiming that this is the “Earth Guard” secretly formed by the Earth to deal with future interstellar wars.
Although these reports and discussions were like flowers in the fog and full of unreliable speculations, several frequently appearing keywords still attracted Ye Qiu’s attention.
“Super Gene”, “Shenhe Civilization”, “Denor Galaxy”, “God-killing Power”, “Galactic Power”…
To ordinary people, these nouns may just be some mysterious science fiction terms, but to Ye Qiu, who is familiar with the plot, they represent vivid characters and magnificent epics.
Chapter 15 Who dares to touch my snacks? I’ll slap you away! (Old version)
He knew that this so-called “Super Seminary” was the core force for resisting the invasion of Taotie civilization in the future, and even for fighting against other more powerful evil forces in the universe.
There gather the best and most powerful super warriors on earth. They are the hope and spark of earth civilization.
He thought of the characters that left a deep impression on him in anime – the somewhat honest but potentially unlimited “Power of the Galaxy” Ge Xiaolun; the “God of War of No Star” Liu Chuang, who was once a street thug and later grew into an indomitable god of war; the hot-tempered goddess Rena who controls the power of the sun; the cold-hearted but warm-hearted Qiangwei who possesses the gene of time and space; and the angel Yan, Zhao Xin, Cheng Yaowen, Qilin, Su Xiaoli, etc. Behind each name, there is a unique story and a powerful force.
Ye Qiu was holding a cup of steaming cocoa, sitting in front of the computer, browsing the scattered information about the “Super Seminary”.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
“Super Seminary… sounds like it would be more exciting than my current life of eating and sleeping alone, and occasionally going out to play tricks on some clueless hooligans.”
He said to himself.
He imagined that those superheroes who would become famous in the future might still be living ordinary or even somewhat miserable lives at this moment, and had no idea of the missions and responsibilities that were about to fall upon them.
This kind of God’s perspective gave him a subtle sense of superiority.
However, this sense of superiority did not last long.
He quickly pushed those thoughts aside.
As exciting as it is, it also comes with danger.
Although the warriors of the Super Seminary are powerful, they are always facing the test of life and death.
In comparison, he still prefers his current comfortable, free and unconstrained life.
“It’s a little interesting, but it’s just a little interesting.”
Ye Qiu took a sip of cocoa, and the sweet and warm current slid into his stomach, making him feel comfortable.
He closed the web pages discussing the Super Seminary and began searching for reviews of newly opened buffet restaurants in the city and which brands of ice cream were having promotions recently.
To him, Super Seminary is just a noun that exists in the background story, a group of people who may be very busy in the future.
He had no interest in contacting them, let alone joining them.
He just wanted to be a bystander, a bystander with enough self-protection ability, and quietly watch the plot of this world develop according to its predetermined trajectory.
Of course, if some actions of the Super Seminary, or the existence of some people, accidentally interfere with his “fat cause”, then he doesn’t mind taking action to “slightly” correct it.
After all, for him, nothing is more important than accumulating fat steadily, improving strength and enjoying life.
“Let’s see what to eat tonight.”
Ye Qiu touched his slightly round chin and thought contentedly.
Let the heroes of the Super Seminary save the world, and he will be responsible for… well, enjoying this saved world and storing enough fat for emergencies.
Ye Qiu made a careful inference and comparison based on the scattered and difficult-to-distinguish true and false information on the Internet and his memory of the anime called “Super Seminary”.
He came to a conclusion: the current plot related to the Super Seminary should still be in a very, very early stage, perhaps even earlier than he originally expected.
He remembered that when the story officially began, the Taotie vanguard forces had already begun small-scale infiltration and reconnaissance of the earth, and the Super Seminary had also begun secretly recruiting and assembling the first batch of students with super genes.
But from what he had observed so far, although there had been small-scale clashes between Taotie scouts and JRX troops on the edge of the city, the overall social order remained superficially calm. Most people were unaware of this, and the military and government had also strictly blocked relevant information.
This means that most of the super warriors who will shine on the battlefield in the future and are responsible for protecting the earth have probably not been discovered by the military yet, and the super genes dormant in their bodies are far from being activated.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but reveal a strange smile on his face, with a bit of teasing and a bit of understanding.
“The Power of the Galaxy” Ge Xiaolun, the man who will be able to drive the energy of the entire galaxy in the future, is most likely still an ordinary, even somewhat loser college student at this moment.
He might be staying in his dorm, munching on instant noodles and grinning foolishly at the games or anime on the computer screen; or he might be worried about his final exams and cramming in the library; or he might be tossing and turning in bed because of an unrealistic crush, lamenting the confusion and helplessness of youth.
He had no idea that his body contained a terrifying power that was enough to change the structure of the universe, and he had no idea that his future destiny would be closely linked to the survival of the entire Earth civilization.
There is also the “No Star War God” Liu Chuang, the iron-blooded tough guy who will hold a giant axe to kill gods in the future, is extremely brave, and makes countless enemies tremble in fear.
Now, he is probably still an idle street thug, hanging out with a bunch of bad friends all day, fighting for territory or for trivial matters.
He might be arrested for assaulting someone or collecting protection money, and he might be receiving “cordial greetings” from his fellow police officers in the interrogation room of a police station, or he might be shirtless at a street stall, drinking cheap beer and bragging about his past “glorious deeds.”
He could never have imagined that his seemingly strong body was flowing with the genes of the God of War from the Denor galaxy, and that in the future he would become a super warrior who would fight bloody battles to protect his homeland.
As for other future heroes, such as Sunlight Reina, she may still be receiving strict royal education on the Fiery Sun Star, working hard for her future mission, and doesn’t know much about the “savage” planet Earth; Rose, as the daughter of Admiral Dukao, may have been exposed to some secrets related to the military and super powers, but her own potential has not yet been fully revealed; Qilin, the heroic policewoman, should still be running around to maintain the law and order of Giant Canyon City, handling various criminal cases and petty thefts. She probably couldn’t even dream of the upcoming alien invasion and super war.
Chapter 16: First meeting with Qiangwei! This fat guy is quite interesting! (Old version)
Those future super soldiers, those lucky ones chosen by the genes of Shenhe civilization, are still just one of the countless living beings at this moment. They are ordinary college students, street thugs, busy office workers, and unknown ordinary people.
They lead their own ordinary lives, with their own joys and sorrows, worrying or rejoicing about exams, making a living, quarrels with neighbors, a broken heart or a small success.
They were completely unaware of their impending fate and unaware of the enormous power hidden within their bodies.
Ye Qiu held a cup of highly concentrated hot chocolate and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his apartment, overlooking the bustling city below.
He found it funny and inexplicably emotional to think that these future heroes might still be worrying about trivial matters that seemed insignificant to him, and running around for worldly desires.
“That’s really… interesting.”
He took a sip of hot chocolate, feeling the sweet and warm liquid slide down his throat, bringing a satisfied sigh.
He did not take the initiative to seek out the ideas of these future protagonists.
For him, it doesn’t matter how the plot develops, when the heroes awaken, when they gather, and when they start their journey.
He is not a savior, nor a promoter of the plot. He is just a time traveler with a special golden finger, a “speculator” who only wants to gain the greatest benefits for himself and live the most free and comfortable life in this world that is about to become chaotic.
He will not interfere with the normal development of the plot because that may cause unpredictable trouble.
He would not deliberately make friends with future heroes because that would mean taking on corresponding responsibilities and risks.
He just wanted to stay quietly in his comfort zone, silently accumulate fat, improve his strength, and then appreciate this upcoming cosmic drama like a real “behind-the-scenes observer”.
“Let them be busy for a while.”
Ye Qiu stretched, feeling the energy surge through his body from the abundant heat. “After they finish setting up the stage and sorting out most of the problems, I’ll consider going out for a stroll and seeing the excitement.”
His top priority now is still his “fat business”.
Only when he has enough fat and transforms it into strong enough strength can he truly do whatever he wants and be free and easy in this ever-changing world.
As for those future protagonists who are still mortals, let them enjoy this short and ordinary time before the torrent of fate comes.
Ye Qiu believed that when a real crisis came, the super genes in their bodies and their innate sense of mission would naturally guide them onto the right path.
And he only needs to prepare popcorn and cola, oh no, prepare enough fat and strength, and “watch the show” leisurely.
If there are some “magic changes” in the plot that he cannot accept, or that threaten his fundamental interests, he doesn’t mind “setting things right” a little in an “unexpected” way at a critical moment.
Of course, that’s all in the past.
Now, he is more concerned about whether to eat the vanilla flavor or the strawberry flavor first among the boxes of limited edition Haagen-Dazs ice cream in the refrigerator.
This is really a pleasant trouble.
One day, Ye Qiu chose a popular restaurant on the Internet to have lunch. The restaurant was famous for its exquisite dishes, elegant environment but also “exquisite” prices.
This restaurant is located on a relatively quiet street in the city center. Its facade is low-key and luxurious, but the interior is a different world.
Soft lighting, soothing music, carefully arranged green plants, and just the right distance between tables all create an intimate and high-end atmosphere.
Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the environment here. At least there wouldn’t be too much noise to disturb him from enjoying the food.
He ordered himself a plate of the restaurant’s signature premium Wagyu rib-eye steak, specifically requesting it be medium-rare, along with a plate of black truffle cream pasta and a glass of expensive aged red wine.
Soon, the waiter pushed the dining cart and brought the steak with an enticing aroma to him.
The steak was two fingers thick, and the surface was grilled to a slightly caramelized color, but the meat inside was tender pink, with clear snowflake texture and an oily luster under the light.
The rich aroma of meat mixed with the scent of butter and spices filled Ye Qiu’s nose, making his appetite whet.
He picked up the silver knife and fork and cut off a small piece of steak clumsily but with anticipation.
As the blade passed through the meat, a slight resistance could be felt, followed by the subtle sound of the meat fibers being cut.
He picked up the piece of beef with a fork and put it into his mouth.
With a light bite of your teeth, the rich gravy instantly bursts in your mouth. The sweetness of the beef and the mellowness of the fat are perfectly intertwined. The cooking time of 70% doneness is just right, which not only retains the tenderness of the beef, but also has the caramelized aroma after frying and grilling.
“Hmm… Not bad, it’s definitely worth the price.”
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, savoring the delicious taste in his mouth.
He took another sip of red wine. The slight astringency of the tannins and the fruity aroma further stimulated the flavor of the beef, making him feel relaxed all over.
The way he ate was not very elegant, and he even looked like he was wolfing down his food, which was in stark contrast to the diners around him who were taking small bites and talking in low voices.
But he didn’t care. When it came to delicious food, enjoyment was the most important thing.
Just as he was devouring his meal and was about to finish the last few pieces of Wagyu beef on the plate, a clear and pleasant laughter came from the neighboring table, like the ringing of silver bells, with a bit of the liveliness and brightness of a girl.
Ye Qiu paused swallowing subconsciously, not because he was disturbed, but because the laughter was so beautiful that he couldn’t help but glance over.
With just one glance, his gaze froze for a moment.
There were two young women sitting at the next table, one of them was facing sideways towards him, chatting happily with her companion.
The woman was in her early twenties, wearing a well-tailored off-white casual suit with a simple silk shirt underneath. She looked capable yet feminine.
Her hair was neatly tied back, revealing her smooth, full forehead and delicate profile.
She has a beautiful and elegant appearance and can be considered a standard beauty, but what is more striking is the lingering heroic spirit between her eyebrows and the brightness and determination in her eyes.
Chapter 17: Taotie Invasion? Don’t disturb me from enjoying my feast! (Old Version)
Even when she was joking, she maintained a soldier-like upright sitting posture, giving people a sense of boldness and competence.
Ye Qiu’s heart seemed to be gently hit by something.
He recognized this woman!
Qilin! The future Heroic Soldier’s super sharpshooter, the one who is calm and decisive on the battlefield, able to kill enemies with one shot, and possesses the super gene of the Shenhe Generation!
Almost instantly, he connected the image of the sweet-smiling young woman in front of him with the image of the super soldier in his memory, wearing a black combat uniform, holding a huge sniper rifle, and with eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Although Qilin’s face at this moment still has some of the youthfulness and brightness that belongs to her age, and is far from the weathered calmness and decisiveness that she will have on the battlefield in the future, her unique temperament and the heroic spirit that emanates from her bones have already begun to show, making people unforgettable.
Ye Qiu guessed that Qilin should not have officially joined the army at this moment, let alone been discovered and had the Shenhe sniper gene in her body activated.
Now, she may be just an ordinary police academy student, or a young police officer who has just entered the society, and has no idea about the magnificent fate in the future.
She and her friends are here, probably just like ordinary girls, enjoying their rare leisure time, tasting delicious food, and chatting about some light-hearted topics.
He could hear Qilin and her friends chatting about recently released movies, celebrity gossip, and where to go shopping on the weekend.
The sound is not loud, but clear enough.
These topics are full of life, forming a huge contrast with the interstellar wars and battles between gods and demons that she will face in the future.
Ye Qiu just looked at Qilin twice more, confirmed his judgment, and then quickly withdrew his gaze and focused again on the remaining steaks on his plate.
He had no intention of approaching or trying to have any interaction with the future superhero.
Although beautiful women are pleasing to the eyes, even very pleasing to the eyes, Qilin’s type of heroism and beauty is what he admired in his previous life.
But for him, appreciation is appreciation and reality is reality.
Now, the top-quality Wagyu beef on the plate and the precious fat that can be converted after eating it are far more real and more important than a future sharpshooter who is still in the “mortal” stage.
He picked up the knife and fork, put the last piece of steak into his mouth, and chewed it carefully, as if he wanted to imprint the delicious taste deeply on his taste buds.
As for Qilin, she will become a hero and save the world in the future. That is her destiny and her choice.
As for Ye Qiu, he just wanted to be a fat man who enjoyed life in peace and stability, a bystander who could protect himself and live a comfortable life in troubled times.
He even wondered if he approached her now and said, “Hey, beautiful lady, I see you have a remarkable talent. You’re bound to be something great in the future. Do you want to join me? I promise you’ll have everything you need?” Would he be mistaken for a psychopath, or even be handcuffed by this righteous future policewoman? The thought of this made him laugh.
“Delicious food is more reliable.”
Ye Qiu wiped his mouth with a napkin and burped contentedly.
He waved to the waiter, paid the bill, and then slowly stood up and left.
From beginning to end, he never looked at Qilin again, as if it was just an ordinary encounter, an insignificant episode.
Walking out of the restaurant, the afternoon sun was a bit dazzling.
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, feeling the fullness in his stomach and the pleasure brought by the slow growth of fat in his body.
Qilin’s appearance was just like throwing a small stone into his peaceful life, causing a tiny ripple, but soon it returned to calm.
His “fat business” is the eternal theme.
Although Ye Qiu was not very interested in getting involved in the fighting and killing in the Super Seminary, he preferred to keep to himself and enjoy his own life.
But he was not a completely brainless reckless man. After observing and thinking for a period of time, he realized more and more clearly that as the invasion of Taotie was getting closer, the Juxia City where he was located would sooner or later become the center of the storm, and various conflicts and crises would follow.
He couldn’t always stay out of things like he is now, hiding in his comfort zone and eating and drinking.
Even if he doesn’t want trouble, trouble may come to him.
Taotie doesn’t care whether you are a civilian or a super soldier. In their invasion plan, the entire earth is a target that needs to be “formatted”.
“If we can establish contact with the future ‘official organization’ of the Super Seminary in advance, or at least become familiar with them, we might be able to gain some convenience and protection at a critical moment.”
Ye Qiu was lying on the comfortable sofa in his apartment, holding a family-sized bucket of popcorn in his hand, watching a boring soap opera while thinking in his mind.
He did not expect to become a core member of the Super Seminary and take on the responsibility of saving the world. That was too tiring and too dangerous.
All he wanted was the identity of a “non-staff member” or a “friendly person”.
In this way, when Taotie really attacks and the city falls into chaos, he may be able to use this relationship to obtain some official help, such as priority evacuation, or get some inside information, which will at least allow him and his “fat reserves” to survive the crisis more safely and continue to enjoy life.
“The question is, how can I ‘reasonably’ enter the sight of the Super Seminary?” Ye Qiu grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, his brows slightly furrowed.
He didn’t want to appear too contrived or abrupt.
If he ran to the gate of a military base right now and shouted, “I know the Taotie are going to invade, I know the secret of the super gene, let me join you”, he would definitely be arrested as a mental patient or a spy with ulterior motives and tortured.
He would never do such a stupid thing.
He needed a natural, unsuspecting opportunity.
One that would allow him, as an “ordinary but slightly special” citizen, to interact with some people in the Super Seminary and leave a not-too-bad impression.
“Should I show off my appetite, which is far greater than that of ordinary people, so that they will notice me as a ‘special talent’? Or should I ‘happen’ to help them with a small favor at a critical moment?” Various thoughts flashed through Ye Qiu’s mind, but he felt that these methods were somewhat unreliable, or in other words, the operation was too difficult and the risks were not small.
Chapter 18: Show off your skills! The Taotie warship crashed into the mountain! (Old version)
He even thought about using the system to exchange for some low-key but practical skills, such as super memory or analytical ability, and then disguise himself as a civilian genius to attract attention by solving problems encountered by certain military or scientific research institutions.
But doing so would make it seem too high-profile and easy to be sliced and studied.
“It’s really troublesome…” Ye Qiu sighed. He felt that this kind of problem that required thinking and could not be solved directly with fat was the most troublesome.
He would rather run ten kilometers and burn off a few kilograms of fat than bother thinking about all these twists and turns.
Just as he was getting a little annoyed and ready to give up thinking and go to the refrigerator to get a bottle of iced Coke to calm down, the cold and mechanical system prompt in his mind sounded without warning:
“It was detected that the host was struggling with ‘how to establish a reasonable connection with a specific target’. The system database matched the relevant auxiliary functions.”
Ye Qiu was slightly startled and almost dropped the popcorn bucket in his hand.
System? Proactive help? This is a first.
In the past, he would ask questions proactively before the system would respond.
He immediately focused his attention and waited for the system’s next response.
“Function Tip: The host can consume a certain amount of pure body fat and, through system guidance, create ‘specifically directed coincidence events,’ thereby increasing the chances of the host having a reasonable intersection with a specific person or organization in reality.”
“The amount of fat required will be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of factors such as the importance of the target’s identity, organizational hierarchy, the logical complexity of the coincidences required, and the degree of real-world interference.
The specific consumption will be accurately calculated and notified after the host confirms the target and coincidence plan.”
This sudden reminder was like a flash of lightning that cut through the fog in Ye Qiu’s mind, making his eyes suddenly bright!
“Create…a specific coincidence?” Ye Qiu muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
This was like someone handing him a pillow just when he was sleepy! He was just worrying about how to naturally access the Super Seminary when the system provided him with this “cheating” option.
If coincidences were truly possible, then the scope for manipulation would be enormous! He could easily design a scenario that would be most beneficial to him, minimize risk, and perfectly demonstrate his own “value” (of course, value that wouldn’t arouse suspicion), and then have the system execute it.
For example, he could set up a coincidence so that he “happened” to appear when a senior official or key figure in a super seminary encountered a little trouble, and “happened” to have the ability or resources to solve this little trouble.
In this way, you can show kindness to others and establish a preliminary connection without appearing deliberate.
Alternatively, he could create a situation where he “accidentally” discovered a clue related to the Super Seminary mission, and then provide the clue to them through “legitimate channels” to come into their sight.
“System, you are really my sweetheart!” Ye Qiu was so ecstatic in his heart that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
He previously thought that this fat system had only one function besides making him stronger and fatter. Now it seems that he underestimated the potential of the system.
This system is much more versatile and intelligent than he imagined!
He immediately pressed the issue, “System, what exactly can this ‘specifically directed coincidence event’ do? For example, can I specify the time, location, and people involved in the coincidence? Do I design the coincidence scenario myself, or is it generated by the system?”
The system’s cold electronic voice sounded again: “The host can provide a core demand, such as ‘Hoping to establish initial contact with a certain person in charge of the Super Seminary’, and set some basic frameworks, such as ‘Hoping to achieve a non-confrontational positive event’.
The system will generate several optional coincidence plans based on the host’s fat reserves, target complexity, and the scope allowed by realistic logic, and mark the estimated fat consumption.
The host can also try to conceive his own coincidence scenario and submit it to the system for feasibility assessment and cost estimation.
But be aware that if the system is too complex or violates the basic laws of physics, the system may not be feasible or may be very expensive.”
Ye Qiu understood.
In other words, he can be the “chief director” and propose the general direction, and then the system, the “gold medal screenwriter and executive producer”, will provide him with several scripts for him to choose from, or help him improve his own script.
This is just perfect!
A huge stone in his heart fell to the ground, and a long-lost relaxed smile appeared on his face.
With this function, his plan to contact the Super Seminary changed from an uncertain idea to a highly feasible plan.
However, after the excitement, Ye Qiu quickly calmed down.
He touched his round belly and felt the heavy “strategic reserves” inside.
The system clearly states that creating coincidences requires consuming fat, and the more important the target and the more complex the coincidence, the greater the consumption.
The Super Seminary is the core force for the Earth to fight against alien invasions in the future. Its importance is self-evident.
If you want to create coincidences that are related to them and can produce positive effects, the amount of fat consumed is probably not a small amount.
He needs to think it over carefully.
Although the system provided an attractive option to create a “specific coincidence” in order to gain access to the Super Seminary, Ye Qiu did not act rashly after the initial excitement wore off.
His greatest strength (or weakness) is that he is cautious and realistic enough.
For anything, he would carefully weigh the pros and cons in his mind first, especially when it came to his precious fat reserves, he would be even more cautious.
He leaned back on the lounge chair on the balcony, holding a cup of coffee with double sugar and milk in his hand, squinting his eyes at the outline of the city in the distance, but his mind was calculating rapidly.
“First, it’s a matter of timing.”
Ye Qiu took a sip of his cloyingly sweet coffee and muttered to himself, “The plot of the Super Seminary is probably still in its very early stages, and they might not even have recruited the first batch of students yet.
The bigwigs of the Deno III Project, such as Admiral Ducao, are probably busy holding various secret meetings with senior military officials and national think tanks to formulate a macro-strategy to deal with future crises.
What they are most concerned about now should be how to quietly gather those young people with super genes and train and guide their thoughts.
Chapter 19 Dukao was confused: Who is this fat guy? (Old version)
“At a time like this, if I, a fat man with unknown identity, suddenly appeared before them through some ‘coincidence’, even if I acted harmless, it would probably arouse their high vigilance and lead to an in-depth investigation.
After all, what they are doing now is top secret.”
Ye Qiu didn’t want to be scrutinized from head to toe by a group of experienced old foxes with inquiring and suspicious eyes.
His biggest secret is his fat system, which is the foundation of his life and must never be exposed.
If they discovered something and mistook him for some unknown, uncontrollable superpower, or worse, a spy sent by an alien civilization, that would be a lot of fun.
He didn’t want to be locked up in a secret laboratory, become a guinea pig, and have his blood drawn and sliced for research every day.
“Therefore, if you engage rashly, the risks are too high and the benefits are uncertain.
If you end up making things worse and end up getting yourself into trouble, that would be a huge loss.”
Ye Qiu shook his head, feeling that at this stage, it was not a wise choice to take the initiative to provoke the Super Seminary.
“Secondly, there’s the issue of cost.”
He touched the thick “swim ring” around his waist and continued his analysis. “Although the system doesn’t specify how much fat is needed to create a ‘coincidence’ related to an organization of the Super Seminary’s level, it’s obvious that it won’t be cheap.”
What is the Super Seminary? It is the hope for Earth’s future, the place where the genes of Shenhe civilization are passed down, and the focus of attention from all forces in the universe.
If you want to “show your face” in front of such an organization in a positive, proactive and impressive way, the real resources and system energy that need to be mobilized are probably enormous.
Ye Qiu estimated that it would take at least half of his total fat reserves, or even more.
Although his current fat reserves are much greater than when he first obtained the system, it is still far from the state of “rest assured and free time” in his mind.
He will use this fat to strengthen his body and exchange it for various skills to save his life and enjoy life. Every kilogram is precious.
“Investing such a huge amount of money for a still-unclear ‘convenience’ and ‘protection’ is far too low a cost-effectiveness.”
Ye Qiu curled his lips, thinking that this deal was not worthwhile.
His top priority now is to continue to accumulate fat honestly and work hard to improve his hard power.
The hard power here mainly refers to two aspects: one is to continuously strengthen one’s physical fitness through the system, such as strength, speed, defense, recovery ability, etc., so that one can become more resilient, more capable of fighting, and more able to eat; the second is to further familiarize oneself with and develop the various functions of the system, such as improving the efficiency of fat conversion, unlocking more practical skills, and even finding ways to increase the upper limit of fat that the body can accommodate.
Only when his own strength is strong enough and his fat reserves are rich enough, will he have enough confidence and capital to deal with various situations that may arise in the future, and can he take a more active position when dealing with organizations such as the Super Seminary, rather than passively accepting arrangements or being used as a pawn.
“When the Taotie threat is truly imminent and Juxia City is truly in chaos, or when I have enough fat to squander and am strong enough to not fear any investigation, then I can consider using the system to create coincidences and go to the Super Seminary to make my presence felt.”
Ye Qiu made a decision in his heart.
He always believes that it is better to rely on oneself than on others.
Instead of pinning your hopes on the protection of external organizations, it is better to work hard to build yourself into an indestructible mobile fortress.
As long as he has enough fat, he can exchange for all kinds of incredible abilities. At that time, even without the help of the Super Seminary, he can live freely in troubled times.
“Well, that’s settled.
At this stage, the most important thing is to enjoy life and quietly make a fortune… oh no, quietly gain weight. “
Ye Qiu drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, feeling the satisfaction brought by the sweetness, and his mood became relaxed.
He stood up and stretched, and the fat on his body trembled a few times.
The sunlight shone on him, warm and making him feel lazy.
He decided to go to a newly opened self-service barbecue restaurant in the city in the afternoon to try something new. It was said that the Australian Wagyu beef and Argentinian red shrimp there were available in unlimited quantities.
This is undoubtedly great news for his “fat business”.
As for the Super Seminary and those future heroes, let them develop slowly according to the arrangement of the plot.
For the time being, Ye Qiu would rather be a happy fat man who is indifferent to the world and only cares about food and fat.
Eat your food one bite at a time, save fat bit by bit, and walk one step at a time. Don’t be impatient.
Comfort comes first, and enjoying the present moment is his life creed.
In order to travel more conveniently in the huge Juxia City, to find delicious food scattered in every corner, and to experience some of the “fun” in the city when he feels like it, and to better demonstrate his wealthy life, Ye Qiu decided to buy himself a means of transportation.
Of course, with his current “identity” and the convenience granted by the system, it would be a simple matter to directly use the funds exchanged by the system, which are completely legal in this world, to buy a new car.
He did not choose the latest supercars or top-of-the-line luxury cars that require reservations and waiting times. Those are too high-profile and too easy to attract attention, which does not fit in with his current strategy of “low-key development and occasional flirting.”
He turned his attention to the used car market.
He felt that a well-maintained second-hand luxury brand SUV could not only meet his requirements for style and comfort, but also be relatively affordable and would not appear overly ostentatious when driving it. The key was that there were plenty of cars in stock, so if he liked one, he could drive it away directly, saving a lot of trouble.
On a sunny afternoon, Ye Qiu strolled into the largest second-hand car market in Juxia City.
The market is bustling with people, and there are a dazzling array of second-hand cars of various brands and models.
Salespeople enthusiastically solicited customers, and the air was filled with a mixed smell of leather, rubber and car exhaust.
Ye Qiu’s goal was very clear. He wanted a large, powerful-looking luxury SUV with a spacious and comfortable interior.
After all, with his current weight of over 200 pounds and still increasing, he would feel a bit cramped sitting in an ordinary sedan or small SUV.
He visited several car dealerships, and finally, among a row of large SUVs such as Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Cadillac Escalade, he fell in love with a black Land Rover Range Rover Executive Extended Edition that looked at least 80% new.
Although this car is a three-year-old model, the original owner obviously maintained it very carefully. The paint is still as bright as new, and there are almost no scratches.
The huge body, the square and tough lines, the classic floating roof, and the iconic front grille all exude a powerful aura that is majestic without being angry.
Ye Qiu walked forward and opened the car door.
A unique fragrance of high-end leather and solid wood interior hits you in the face.
He squeezed his large body into the driver’s seat with some difficulty.
Unexpectedly, the driving seat of this Range Rover is very spacious, and the seat is thick and soft enough, with good wrapping and support.
He adjusted the position of the seat and steering wheel and felt that his vision was wide and various buttons and knobs were within reach.
“That’s it.”
Ye Qiu spoke to the smiling sales manager beside him without much hesitation.
He was even too lazy to test drive it. For a car of this level, as long as it was not an accident car or a water-damaged car, there was basically no need to worry too much about the mechanical performance.
The funds produced by the system are naturally clean and not afraid of inspection.
The subsequent procedures went very smoothly.
Ye Qiu paid the full amount directly, and the sales manager only symbolically reduced the price.
In less than two hours, this luxury car that once belonged to someone else officially became Ye Qiu’s property.
When Ye Qiu, with his body weighing over 200 pounds, which looked a little bloated and obese due to long-term consumption of high-calorie food, once again struggled to squeeze himself into the driver’s seat of the majestic-looking Land Rover Range Rover like a clumsy bear, several young salesmen in the car dealership couldn’t help but secretly exchange glances with each other, revealing a strange expression on their faces, as if they wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.
Ye Qiu didn’t care about it at all.
He adjusted the rearview mirror, took a deep breath, and felt the delicate touch of the leather steering wheel and the steady feedback of the accelerator pedal under his feet.
He started the car, and with a low and powerful roar of the V8 engine, the behemoth slowly drove out of the used car market.
Driving this luxury off-road vehicle that was in sharp contrast to his body size on the wide streets of Juxia City, Ye Qiu immediately experienced an unprecedented feeling.
First of all, the vision.
The tall body of the car gave him a driving vision of “seeing all the mountains as small”, and other cars on the road looked tiny to him.
This feeling of being superior made him feel very good.
The second is the return rate.
A fat man who is obviously overweight driving a valuable luxury SUV, this combination itself is full of dramatic contrast.
Whenever he waits for a red light or parks on the side of the road, he always attracts many passers-by who look at him with surprise, curiosity, and even a hint of envy and jealousy.
Some young girls would cover their mouths and talk secretly, wondering if this fat man was some hidden rich second generation or a nouveau riche from demolition; some middle-aged uncles would cast a scrutinizing gaze, as if evaluating the value of the car and its compatibility with themselves as the “owner”; even some young people driving ordinary family cars would not be able to help but take a few more glances when passing by, their eyes revealing their yearning for such a luxury car.
This feeling of being the center of attention greatly satisfied Ye Qiu’s little vanity.
He likes the dramatic effect brought about by this contrast, and is also happy to see the surprise, confusion, and even a hint of funny expressions on other people’s faces because his body shape does not match his car.
He would even deliberately drive slowly around some commercial areas with heavy traffic or popular check-in spots, enjoying the various glances from passers-by.
He felt that this could bring him a greater spiritual pleasure than simply eating delicious food.
It’s a sense of control, the pleasure of attracting attention with money and being “different”.
“Well, this car is worth buying.”
Ye Qiu hummed a tuneless little song while casually placing one hand on the steering wheel. With his other hand, he picked up a bag of freshly bought fried chicken legs from the passenger seat and began to chew on them as if no one was around.
His greasy fingers left some unsightly marks on the expensive leather steering wheel, but he didn’t care.
Cars are meant to be enjoyed, not to be worshipped as ancestor’s offerings.
He drove this “mobile palace” around Juxia City.
When you are hungry, find a restaurant that looks good, park your car at the door, and go in for a big meal; when you are full, drive to a scenic spot for a ride, or find a quiet parking lot, fold down the seats in the car, and take a comfortable nap.
With this car, his radius of activity has greatly increased, and his efficiency in finding delicious food and “fun” has also improved a lot.
He even started planning to drive the car to some small towns or villages around Juxia City in the future to discover some more local and unknown delicacies.
This state of parading around and enjoying life made Ye Qiu feel extremely comfortable.
He felt that this was the life he wanted – free and unrestrained, eating whatever he wanted and playing whenever he wanted, without having to look at anyone’s face or care about anyone’s opinion.
All of this is due to his magical fat system and his unremitting “fat cause”.
He even wondered with some mischievous amusement what future superheroes, such as Ge Xiaolun or Liu Chuang, would think if they saw his “degenerate” appearance of being fat, driving a luxury car, and enjoying himself everywhere.
Would he curse in his heart, “evil capitalists” or “parasites of society”? Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a wicked smile.
He didn’t know that his overly high-profile and ostentatious behavior would soon bring him new troubles.
Ye Qiu drove the black Land Rover Range Rover and paraded through the streets of Juxia City in a swaggering and ostentatious manner. His behavior was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which soon caused ripples in certain circles.
In particular, his obese body that was extremely disproportionate to his luxury car, and his arrogant style of eating and drinking without paying attention to others, became the “interesting stories” of many people goingssip on the streets.
Naturally, all these “interesting stories” reached the ears of “Ruffian Wang San” without missing a word.
Wang San, whose real name is Wang Hu, is the third child in the family and is brave and aggressive by nature. He is well-known among the street thugs in the western district of Juxia City. He also has a group of idle younger brothers under him. He makes a living by collecting protection fees, doing odd jobs, and occasionally doing extortion.
Last time in that remote alley, Wang San and his two younger brothers wanted to blackmail Ye Qiu, but ended up being severely punished by Ye Qiu, the seemingly harmless fat man.
Not only was he made into a miserable mess by Ye Qiu’s strange and clever tricks, he also fell flat on his face in public and his newly bought smartphone was smashed to pieces. To make matters worse, the several thousand dollars in cash he had in his pocket, ready to spend, along with his wallet, were “accidentally” knocked into the stinking sewer by Ye Qiu.
Chapter 20 Lianfeng’s Report: Ye Qiu, the Extremely Dangerous Fatty! (Old Version)
That incident was a great shame and humiliation for Wang San! He had been in the underworld for so many years, but he had never suffered such a big loss at the hands of such a fat man, and he lost face in front of his two younger brothers.
Afterwards, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He cursed Ye Qiu’s fat face and his hateful smile a thousand times in his mind.
He originally thought that Ye Qiu was just a fat sheep from another place who happened to pass by here. After being taught a lesson by him, he must have been scared to death and fled Juxia City overnight.
So, although he was furious, he could only consider himself unlucky and did not take the matter too seriously. After all, Juxia City was so big, and trying to find another stranger who did not leave any information was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, what he never expected was that just a few days later, he heard rumors from his subordinates about a “mysterious fat man driving a Land Rover”.
At first he didn’t take it too seriously, until a younger brother exaggeratedly described how the fat man parked his car on the side of the road and finished off two family buckets by himself, and described the fat man’s physical features. Wang San’s mind buzzed, and he immediately matched the “mysterious fat man” with Ye Qiu who had embarrassed him a few days ago!
“Damn it! It’s him!” Wang San slapped his thigh, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, and new and old grudges surged into his heart.
“That fat guy not only didn’t run away, he actually drove a fucking Land Rover Range Rover?!” This news made Wang San shocked and angry, and at the same time, it also made the greed in his heart burn again.
In his opinion, a person who can afford a luxury car like the Land Rover Range Rover is definitely a wealthy person.
Ye Qiu’s obese body and the fact that he didn’t show any real strong fighting ability in their last fight, although he looked a bit weird, made Wang San more convinced that Ye Qiu was just a weakling with a little money but no background!
“Last time, I was careless and didn’t bring enough people, so that kid took advantage of me!” Wang San thought viciously, “This time, I must get back at him! Not only will I make him return double the money he took from me last time, but I’ll also make him know the consequences of offending me, Wang San!”
Wang San, who was still determined to commit evil, immediately began to gather people.
He called over all his capable fighters and the street thugs who usually followed him to bully others.
This time, he gathered seven or eight people, more than twice as many as last time.
Each of these people is an idle, unemployed gangster, most of them are around 20 years old, some have colorful hair, some have cheap tattoos, they either carry shiny steel pipes or hold heavy baseball bats, and some even pulled out a rusty machete from the trunk of a motorcycle, looking ferocious and menacing.
Wang San addressed his mob, “Brothers, we have a big job today! There’s this fat, blind bastard who offended me last time. He’s pretty damn rich, driving a black Range Rover! We’ll find him later, surround his car, and settle all our scores! When the time comes, any money we extort from him will go towards our brothers!”
Hearing that they could make money and become famous by following the boss, the little hooligans immediately became excited. They were ready to fight and yelled that they wanted to vent their anger on Boss Wang San.
After some inquiries and “scouting”, Wang San and his team quickly grasped Ye Qiu’s activity patterns.
Ye Qiu was a person who lived and worked as he pleased, but every afternoon around three or four o’clock, he liked to drive his Land Rover to a luxurious buffet restaurant called “Food for Heaven” in the city center for a big meal.
There happened to be a relatively secluded open-air parking lot near the restaurant. Because the parking fee was high, there were not many cars parked there on normal days.
Wang San decided to take action right in that parking lot!
That afternoon, Ye Qiu drove his Land Rover Range Rover as usual and walked out of the “Food for Heaven” buffet restaurant with satisfaction.
He performed exceptionally well today, eating five plates of barbecue, three plates of seafood, plus various desserts and ice cream. His belly was so full that he was swollen and staggered a little when he walked.
He walked slowly towards the parking lot, picking his teeth and humming a little tune.
Just as he opened the car door and was about to get in, something strange happened!
“Hualala——” A chaotic sound of footsteps came from all directions.
Before Ye Qiu could react to what was happening, he saw seven or eight young thugs with unfriendly faces, holding sticks and steel pipes, coming out from various corners of the parking lot as if they had rehearsed in advance, and quickly surrounded his black Land Rover Range Rover, blocking all his escape routes.
The leader was none other than the “rascal Wang San” whom he had taught a lesson a few days ago.
At this moment, Wang San had a ferocious yet smug smile on his face. He was weighing a shiny steel pipe in his hand. He pointed at Ye Qiu, who had just half-stuck himself into the car, and said viciously, “Fatty, we meet again! You got away with it last time, but today, I’ll see where you can run!”
The thugs behind him also showed their vicious looks, waving their weapons, shouting and threatening with all kinds of dirty words, trying to overwhelm Ye Qiu with their momentum.
“Kid, get off here now if you know what’s best for you! Hand over all the valuables on you! And this car will be ours to drive for now!”
“Dare to offend our Third Brother? I will break your dog legs today!”
“Don’t fucking dawdle. If you don’t get off, we’ll smash your car!”
For a moment, the parking lot was filled with a tense and violent atmosphere.
The sunlight shone through the sparse shadows of the trees onto the ferocious faces of the thugs and the weapons in their hands that flashed with cold light, making it particularly dazzling.
Ye Qiu’s comfortable mood after having just eaten and drunk his fill was instantly interrupted by this sudden change.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the group of thugs outside the car who were obviously here with bad intentions, especially the leader Wang San, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Oh? So it’s you defeated guys.”
Ye Qiu slowly stepped out of the car and closed the door with a muffled “bang”.
He patted his belly which was bloated from eating too much. There was no panic on his face. Instead, he looked at the group of people surrounding him with a playful expression.
“It’s been a while since we last met. You’ve gotten more capable, even knowing how to call for help?” Ye Qiu’s tone was calm, yet tinged with a subtle hint of sarcasm. “What? Wasn’t the lesson last time enough? You want to experience the feeling of your wallet falling into the sewer again?”
His words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into Wang San’s wounds.
Facing the gangster Wang San who came with more men to take revenge, Ye Qiu sat steadily in the driver’s seat of his black Land Rover Range Rover. Not only did he not show any panic or fear on his face, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile with a hint of teasing and coldness.
His eyes were as calm as water, as if these thugs in front of him who were holding weapons and shouting were just a bunch of jumping clowns in his eyes and were not worth mentioning at all.
He leisurely glanced at the system panel that appeared in his mind.
On that clear virtual interface, the number representing his fat reserves was emitting a reassuring green light.
After this period of continuous “tonic” nutrition, his fat reserves have reached a considerable level, enough to support him in several high-intensity system capacity consumption.
“There’s a road to heaven but you don’t take it, there’s no door to hell but you insist on breaking in.”
Ye Qiu sneered in his heart. He no longer had any sympathy or mercy for a guy like Wang San who refused to change and was seeking his own death.
Since the other party took the initiative to cause trouble, he didn’t mind giving them a more profound and “unforgettable” lesson.
He was too lazy to even get out of the car and waste his energy talking to these minions.
To deal with this kind of stuff, directly using the system’s capabilities to crush it is the most time-saving and labor-saving way, and it is also the way that makes him feel most happy.
“System,” Ye Qiu mentally commanded in an unquestionable tone, “Consume 5 kilograms of pure fat and apply the ‘Group Intermediate Bad Luck’ effect to the target person, Wang San, and all his accomplices present!”
As he gave the order, the number representing fat reserves on the system panel immediately decreased by 5.
An invisible force with strange energy fluctuations, invisible to the naked eye, spread out instantly with Ye Qiu as the center, like ripples on the water, accurately covering all the thugs belonging to Wang San’s gang in the parking lot.
This fluctuation was extremely subtle, and none of the thugs present noticed anything unusual.
They were still immersed in the excitement of having a large number of people and the pleasure of imminent revenge.
Seeing that Ye Qiu still dared to sit in the car with such a fearless look, the gangster Wang San became even more furious.
He slammed the steel pipe in his hand onto the ground, making a sharp clang. Then, with his hoarse voice, he shouted hysterically, “Brothers, what the hell are you all standing there for! Go! Drag this fat guy out of the car! Break off an arm and a leg! Show him who’s the boss in the West District of Juxia City!”
“Ahhhh!”
“Kill him!”
“Smashed his car!”
The thugs behind Wang San were instigated by him and raised their weapons one after another. They let out all kinds of beast-like howls and rushed towards Ye Qiu’s Land Rover like a tide.
The expressions on their faces were ferocious and excited, as if they had already seen the scene of Ye Qiu being beaten to his knees and begging for mercy, and his luxury car being smashed to pieces.
However, just as Wang San shouted the cruel words “take him down”, and just as those thugs took a step forward and prepared to use violence –
“Woof woof woof! Awooo—!”
A dog bark filled with anger and wildness exploded like thunder in the sky!
Next to the parking lot, there is a small auto repair shop.
At the door of the shop, a huge wolfdog with black and yellow fur was tied with a thick iron chain.
This wolfdog usually looks quite docile, but at this moment, it suddenly became extremely manic as if it had received some strong stimulation.
It suddenly stood up and lunged forward with all its strength! The seemingly strong iron chain, pulled by its huge force, suddenly “snapped” and broke from the buckle connected to the collar!
The big wolf dog that broke free from its restraints let out a deafening roar like a tiger out of a cage, kicked the ground with its limbs nimbly, and turned into a black lightning, rushing straight towards the thugs who were closest to it and were shouting the most fiercely!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard!
“Fuck! Dog! Mad dog!”
“Where did the dog come from?!”
The arrogance on the faces of the thugs closest to them was instantly replaced by fear.
They watched helplessly as the huge wolf dog with sharp fangs bared and saliva drooling rushed towards them at a speed they were completely unable to react to, and then opened its bloody mouth without any hesitation!
“Ah! My ass!”
“Ouch! Don’t bite me! Get away!”
Scary screams rang out one after another.
The big wolf dog seemed to have identified its target and picked out the meaty parts of the thugs (it might also be because they were shouting too loudly and moving too much, which attracted its attention).
For a moment, the parking lot was in chaos and people were falling to the ground.
Several thugs were chased by the big wolfhound and ran away with their heads in their hands. Some were bitten on their calves, and some were thrown to the ground and bitten hard on their buttocks. The pain was so severe that tears came to their eyes and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.
The originally aggressive siege formation was instantly shattered by the suddenly crazy big wolfhound.
Ye Qiu sat in the car and clearly saw the dramatic scene outside through the windshield.
The playful smile on his lips couldn’t help but deepen a little.
“Intermediate bad luck, it really lives up to its reputation.”
He thought leisurely, “This is just the beginning.”
The big wolf dog that suddenly went crazy was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, which completely disrupted the formation of Wang San and his gang and also marked the beginning of their series of misfortunes.
The thugs who were chased the worst by the big wolfhound screamed like pigs being slaughtered and ran away in panic.
They had no time to bother with Ye Qiu. The most important thing now was to protect their own butts from being eaten by dogs.
One of the yellow-haired thugs, who was relatively thin and ran faster, was about to be caught up by the big wolfhound that was chasing him relentlessly. In desperation, he saw some discarded tires half a person’s height piled up in the corner next to him. Without thinking, he pounced on his prey like a hungry tiger and tried to climb over the pile of tires and hide behind it.
However, just as he grabbed the edge of the tire with his hands and his body flew into the air, something strange happened again!
Above his head was an old window air conditioner outdoor unit.
This air conditioner outdoor unit is obviously quite old, the outer shell is rusty and the fixing bracket is a bit loose.
At the moment when the yellow-haired gangster passed under it, a small screw at the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit used to fix the fan cover suddenly loosened with a “creak” sound, probably because of the long-term exposure to wind, sun and rain, and the slight vibration caused by the roar of the big wolf dog just now.
The small rusty screw, along with a small piece of rusty metal gasket, fell vertically as if its trajectory had been precisely calculated.
“Boom!
Chapter 21: The Grand Canyon is Completed! Fatty’s Presidential Suite is Reserved! (Old Version)
It was a muffled sound that was not loud, but definitely enough to “refresh” the mind.
The small screw and the washer hit the center of the yellow-haired gangster’s bald forehead!
Although this thing would not cause any fatal damage, the sudden impact and the sharp edges of the metal still made the yellow-haired gangster feel a piercing pain.
He felt stars in front of his eyes, felt dizzy, and his feet went weak. With a “thump”, he slid off the pile of tires like a puddle of mud and fell on his back.
“Ouch… my head…” The yellow-haired gangster covered his forehead, and tears were about to come out of the pain.
He felt like there must be a big bump on his forehead.
The big wolf dog seemed to be stunned by his sudden fall, and then turned to other targets that were easier to catch.
In another direction, a thug with a Mohawk hairstyle who looked quite strong was frightened when he saw his companions being chased by a dog and hit by things.
He saw a simple shed built with colored steel tiles at the edge of the parking lot. Next to the shed were some sandbags, bricks, wooden boards and other construction materials, forming an irregular small hill.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he thought that if he climbed up there, he should be able to avoid the mad dog on the ground.
So he roared to give himself courage, then rushed towards the pile of building materials and climbed up using his hands and feet.
However, he obviously overestimated his climbing ability and underestimated the power of “intermediate bad luck”.
Just as he stepped on an old wooden board that looked fairly sturdy, trying to use it to gain leverage to move upwards, the other end of the board happened to be pressed down by a few unstable red bricks.
When he stepped on it, the wooden board received uneven force and suddenly sank down, prying the red bricks at the same time.
“Crash—”
The red brick lost its balance and rolled down.
What’s even more terrible is that behind this Mohawk-haired thug, there are two younger brothers who also want to climb up and are following him closely.
As a result, the rolling red brick hit the instep of the person behind. The person felt pain, tilted his body, and subconsciously grabbed the trouser leg of the Mohawk man.
The man with the Mohawk head also lost his balance because the wooden board under his feet suddenly collapsed. When he was pulled by the people behind him, the three of them suddenly rolled down from the pile of construction materials, which was not too high, with screams of “ouch” and “oh my god”.
Even more unfortunate was that the direction they rolled happened to be a rectangular pit that a construction team nearby had just dug to lay underground pipes.
The pit was about one meter deep. No pipes had been laid in it yet. The bottom was soft soil and some gravel.
“Plop! Plop! Plop!”
Three dull sounds of falling into the water… Oh no, the sounds of falling into the pit rang out one after another.
The three unlucky guys fell into the pit one after another. Although the pit was not deep enough to kill them, it was deep enough to make them dizzy and see stars.
What’s worse is that it had rained a few days ago and some mud and water had accumulated at the bottom of the pit. When they fell in, mud splashed everywhere and the three of them instantly turned into “mud monkeys”, covered from head to toe in wet, earthy-smelling mud.
“Ahem…Pah…What a damn place!”
“My waist… seems to be twisted…”
“Give me a hand! The pit wall is too slippery and I can’t climb up!”
Their miserable coughing and complaining sounds came from the pit.
As for the instigator, the ruffian Wang San himself, his fate was not much better.
Seeing that the group of men he had carefully assembled were thrown into chaos by a mad dog and a series of accidents in the blink of an eye, and their fighting power collapsed instantly, Wang San was so angry that he screamed and roared, as if his lungs were about to explode.
“Damn it! A bunch of losers! They can’t even handle a dog!” He waved the steel pipe in his hand, wanting to rush forward to take command personally, or at least rescue his little brothers who were howling from being bitten by the dogs.
However, just as he roared and rushed forward two steps, a younger brother who was being chased by a big wolf dog like a headless fly, panicked and bumped into Wang San’s side.
Although that little brother was thin, the force of his collision was quite strong.
Wang San felt a numbness in his waist, and his center of gravity became unstable, and he staggered to the side.
He subconsciously tried to steady his body with his right foot, but made a mistake in his haste and stepped on an empty can that had fallen to the ground during the previous melee.
The can immediately deformed and slipped when he stepped on it.
“Oh shit!”
Wang San only had time to let out a scream before he fell backward in a very indecent posture.
Even more unfortunate was that when he fell to the ground, his right ankle made a teeth-grinding “crack” sound because the force was applied at the wrong angle.
A sharp pain came from the ankle and quickly spread throughout the body.
“Ah! My foot! I sprained my ankle!” Wang San hugged his right ankle, rolling on the ground in pain, with cold sweat on his forehead.
He felt as if his ankle was broken, and the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.
This time, he couldn’t even stand up, let alone command the battle.
He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates, who were originally considered “brave and good at fighting”, encountered all kinds of bizarre accidents, screamed in pain, and fled in embarrassment. The scene was once very chaotic and very funny.
The big wolfhound was still tirelessly chasing and biting the lone thug; the yellow-haired guy who was hit on the head by the air-conditioning parts was still covering his head and groaning on the ground; the three “mud monkeys” who fell into the pit were trying to climb out in a panic, but the pit wall was slippery and they failed after several attempts, which made them even more embarrassed; and a few others who were not directly affected were also frightened by the weird scene before them. They dropped the weapons in their hands and turned around to run away, wishing their parents had two more legs.
In just a few minutes, the entire parking lot was transformed from a battlefield on the verge of a fierce conflict into a “disaster movie” scene full of accidents and screams.
However, the instigator of all this, Ye Qiu, was sitting quietly in his luxury car, without even moving a finger.
Ye Qiu sat leisurely in the spacious and comfortable driver’s seat of the Land Rover Range Rover, and through the dark car window glass, he watched with interest the “human comedy” being played out outside, or more accurately, a “disaster movie” directed by him.

He even slowly lowered the car window a little bit, so that the shrill screams of the thugs outside, the angry roars of the big wolfhound, and the sounds of various objects falling and colliding could be heard more clearly in his ears.
To him, these sounds were more pleasant than any symphony.
He saw that the arrogant ruffian Wang San was now lying on the ground, holding his sprained ankle, grimacing in pain, his face full of agony, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just had.
His younger brothers, who had originally wanted to rush up and smash the car, were now being chased all over the field by a large wolf dog that had suddenly gone mad, crying for their parents. Some of them had their pants torn by the dog, revealing their colorful underwear, looking in a miserable state.
He saw that the yellow-haired gangster who wanted to climb over the wall to escape, was covering his forehead that was hit by the UFO, and was sitting on the ground with stars in his eyes, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
The unlucky few who tried to climb onto the pile of construction materials fell one after another into the muddy construction pit next to them, like dumplings dropped into the ground. They turned into a few dusty and muddy “Terracotta Warriors” who were trying to climb out of the pit in a panic, but failed again and again because the pit wall was too slippery, which made Ye Qiu almost laugh out loud.
The entire process, from Wang San giving the order to attack to their complete annihilation, took only a few minutes.
Everything happened so suddenly, so “coincidentally”, so smoothly, and full of ridiculous drama.
Every accident was just right, causing the thugs to suffer enough and lose their fighting power without causing truly fatal damage.
The most important thing is that all these accidents seem so “natural” that people can’t find any traces of human intervention.
Who would have thought that a normally well-tethered dog would suddenly break free from its chain? Who would have thought that a small part from an old air conditioner outdoor unit would “just happen” to fall off at that exact moment? Who would have thought that several people would “coincidentally” fall into an unattended construction pit together?
If Ye Qiu himself was not the mastermind behind all this, he would probably think that this was just a series of extremely unfortunate coincidences.
“Tsk tsk tsk, the effect of this ‘Intermediate Bad Luck’ is really immediate and powerful.”
Ye Qiu touched his chin and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Through this actual combat test, he gained a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the powerful effect of the system’s “bad luck aura” skill.
This is no longer just about making the target person unlucky, such as falling while walking or choking while drinking water.
This is simply precisely guiding and creating a series of chain-like catastrophic accidents in a small area!
It can cleverly use all available factors in the surrounding environment – a dog, a loose part, a pit of earth, or even an unstable brick, and connect them in series to form an “accidental trap” for a specific target.
Moreover, this guidance is so covert and natural that it is impossible to guard against and verify.
“This is not a bad luck halo, this is simply a small-scale ‘Final Destination’ experience card!” Ye Qiu secretly exclaimed in his heart.
He couldn’t help but start to imagine, if he had enough fat to exchange for a higher level of bad luck effect, such as “advanced bad luck” or even “top bad luck”, what kind of earth-shattering scene would that be?
Could they manipulate even larger-scale, more unimaginable events? For example, causing a building to suddenly lose power, causing an important negotiation to fall through due to unexpected circumstances, or even, on the battlefield, causing the enemy’s weapons systems to collectively malfunction, forcing their commanders to suddenly make a fatal mistake in their decisions?
Thinking of these possibilities, Ye Qiu’s desire for fat became stronger and more urgent.
Fat not only means strong physical fitness and various magical personal skills, but also means the terrifying ability to indirectly manipulate reality and affect the fate of others!
“It seems that my ‘fat cause’ has a long way to go.”
Ye Qiu licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He had already started thinking about where to go for his next meal after dealing with these minor troubles to replenish the 5 kilograms of fat he had just consumed, and to store more to prepare for more powerful enemies or more complicated situations that he might encounter in the future.
The farce outside is still going on, but it is nearing its end.
After experiencing a series of inexplicable blows, the morale of those thugs had already collapsed. They were all scared and dared not mention revenge anymore.
They supported each other, or rolled and crawled, and fled as quickly as possible from this parking lot that they felt was extremely weird, as if there were invisible evil spirits chasing them.
The ruffian Wang San was also carried by two slightly better-off younger brothers. He limped away from the exit of the parking lot with a heart full of humiliation, unwillingness and deep fear.
Before he left, he looked back at Ye Qiu’s motionless Land Rover, his eyes full of resentment, but more of it was an incomprehensible fear.
He couldn’t understand why every time he encountered this fat man, he would always be so unlucky. Could it be that this fat man really had some kind of magic?
Ye Qiu looked at their fleeing backs and just smiled faintly. Then he rolled up the car window, started the car, and leisurely drove away from this parking lot full of “accidents”.
To him, this was just a harmless episode, a little spice in his boring life.
And those thugs were just his “experimental subjects” to test the system’s capabilities and have some fun.
The ruffian Wang San and his gang encountered a series of bizarre accidents in that secluded parking lot. They were in a miserable state and almost wiped out. The news spread quickly in their small circle like a gust of wind.
Although these street thugs commit many evil deeds on a daily basis, most of them are small-time bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong and have no real skills.
The speed of information transmission between them is sometimes faster than that of regular news media, especially this kind of “rumors” full of drama and weirdness.
At first, everyone just took it as a joke.
After all, being chased by a dog, being hit by something, and falling into a pit, while unlucky, are not completely impossible.
However, when more and more gangsters who participated in the “action” that day described the situation at that time with exaggeration, especially emphasizing that all the bad things happened so “coincidentally” and so “weirdly”, as if there was an invisible hand controlling everything, the taste of the matter began to change.
In addition, all of their targets were the mysterious man who drove a luxury Land Rover and was extremely obese – Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu sat quietly in the car from beginning to end, without even moving a finger, and let their aggressive “punitive army” be defeated.
This strong contrast, as well as the strangeness of the incident itself, made those hooligans who did not know the truth begin to feel an inexplicable awe and fear of Ye Qiu.
“Have you heard? Wang San and his gang are in trouble. They were caught by a fat guy!”
“Who’s that fat guy? So awesome? Wang San brought seven or eight people with him, all armed with weapons!”
“That’s the fat guy who’s been showing off in the West District lately, driving a black Land Rover! They say he’s very evil. Before Wang San and his friends could even do anything, he was bitten by a dog, hit by something, and someone even fell into a pit. It’s really weird!”
“Fuck, is this true? Does that fat guy know any magic?”
“Who knows! Anyway, Wang San has to avoid that fat guy now and doesn’t even dare to mention revenge!”
All kinds of rumors began to spread quietly in places where gangsters often hang out, such as bars, discos, billiard rooms, and underground casinos.
Due to Ye Qiu’s impressive obese body and the unfortunate events that Wang San and others encountered that could not be explained by common sense, some people began to call Ye Qiu “the weird fat man” in private.
What’s worse, some people describe Ye Qiu as a mysterious figure who knows some kind of “evil magic” or “magic”, saying that he can control people’s luck and make those who offend him suffer all kinds of misfortune.
Although these statements sound absurd, they are very popular in that circle of gangsters who are generally uneducated and superstitious.
For a time, the name “Weird Fatty Ye Qiu”, although only spread in a small range among a small number of underground forces in the western district of Juxia City, also added a bit of mystery and fear to him.
At least, in the short term, no foolish thugs would dare to provoke him easily.
This was exactly what Ye Qiu wanted. He didn’t want to be harassed by these fly-like guys all day long.
Ye Qiu himself was naturally unaware of his “evil reputation” outside.
He still lived a leisurely life of eating and sleeping, occasionally driving a luxury car out for a ride and enjoying the surprised looks of passers-by.
He didn’t know that the “collective intermediate bad luck” he used for self-protection or fun, in addition to causing some waves in the gangster circle, also attracted the attention of some special organizations at another higher level.
At the same time, far outside the city of Juxia, in a heavily guarded secret military base that does not even exist on the map.
This is one of the core command centers of the “Super Seminary” project and the main research base for the heritage of the Denor galaxy civilization on Earth.
Deep in the base, in a command hall filled with a sense of futuristic technology, the atmosphere seemed somewhat solemn.
In the center of the hall, a huge holographic projection screen was displaying a three-dimensional map of Juxia City, as well as some complex data streams that were constantly jumping and changing.
General Dukao, dressed in a dark blue officer-level uniform, with a resolute face and deep eyes, was staring at the information on the screen with his hands behind his back and a slightly frown on his face.
Beside him stood several core team members who were also wearing military uniforms or scientific research clothing.
“General, according to the data from the ‘Tianhe’ series of micro-energy sensors we’ve deployed in various areas of Juxia City, we’ve detected three small-scale, high-intensity abnormal energy fluctuations of unknown origin within the city limits of Juxia City in the past seventy-two hours.”
A young researcher wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle but with a shrewd and capable look in his eyes, pointed to several specially marked red dots on the screen and reported to Dukao.
“Although the peak values of these three abnormal energy fluctuations were not high and their duration was extremely short, ranging from approximately 0.5 to 1.2 standard energy units, their energy frequency and decay characteristics did not match any known natural phenomena in our database, such as geomagnetic disturbances and lightning precursors.
It also rules out known human activities, such as high-power communication jamming and secret military experiments.”
Dukao’s brow furrowed even more.
He asked in a deep voice, “Can you identify the specific source of the fluctuations? Or, have you captured more detailed energy characteristics?”
The researcher shook his head, a trace of helplessness on his face: “Report to the General, because the fluctuation occurred too suddenly and lasted too short, the accuracy of our current sensors is not enough to perform accurate triangulation positioning.
It can only be roughly confirmed that these three fluctuations occurred in different locations in the western district of Juxia City.
As for the energy characteristics, preliminary analysis shows that this energy seems to have a… well, difficult to describe characteristic similar to ‘probability perturbation’ or ‘entropy reversal’, but its specific nature requires further research and data accumulation.”
“Probability disturbance? Entropy reversal?” Dukao repeated these two mysterious-sounding words, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
As the former commander-in-chief of the war in the Denor galaxy, he is well aware that the universe is vast and full of wonders.
Some advanced civilizations, or certain special individuals, are indeed able to master some incredible powers that can even distort the laws of reality.
He was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to a woman standing on the other side, wearing a white scientific research suit and with an intellectual and calm temperament.
She is the actual controller of the supercomputer center left behind on Denor III, and the core person responsible for all data analysis, intelligence compilation, and artificial intelligence-assisted decision-making – Lianfeng.
“Lianfeng, have you found anything over there?” Dukao asked.
Lianfeng pushed the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his clear and sharp eyes swept across the operating platform in front of him.
In front of her, several virtual screens were simultaneously displaying massive amounts of data and image information.
Her slender fingers tapped quickly on the virtual keyboard, calling up a series of relevant information.
“General, based on the time and approximate area of the three abnormal energy fluctuations you just mentioned, I retrieved the database of the Denuo No. 3 system, which is connected to the Juxia City public security network and some commercial surveillance systems. I cross-checked the surveillance footage of the relevant time period and the relevant area and performed image enhancement processing.”
Lianfeng’s voice was calm and steady, without any emotional fluctuations, just like the precision instruments she controlled.
“Because the surveillance equipment in most areas is outdated or has poor angles, the effective footage we can obtain is very limited.
However, around the time of two of these abnormal energy fluctuations, we captured a target individual with very distinct physical features.
As he spoke, Lianfeng called up several processed surveillance video clips on the main screen.
The first video was a bit shaky, and it seemed to have been captured by a surveillance camera in a street shop.
Chapter 23: Doomsday Luxury! Ye Qiu’s Life Makes Everyone on the Ship Cry! (Old Version)
In the picture, you can see a slightly remote alley, and several blurry figures seem to be arguing.
Suddenly, one of the men, who was extremely fat, knocked several others to the ground with an agility that was inconsistent with his size.
Immediately afterwards, some inexplicable chaos appeared in the picture, such as someone suddenly slipped, something fell from a high place, etc.
The obese man leisurely left the scene amid the chaos.
The second video was shot in an open-air parking lot.
The picture quality was slightly better, and you could clearly see that a group of thugs armed with sticks surrounded a black luxury SUV.
However, just as they were about to take action, a series of unexpected incidents suddenly occurred in the parking lot – mad dog attacks, objects falling from high altitudes, people falling into pits, etc.
The owner of the luxury SUV, an equally obese man, sat quietly in the car from beginning to end and only drove away after the chaos subsided.
“General, please look,” Lianfeng pointed a laser pointer at the obese figure on the screen that appeared in both incidents. “According to a preliminary comparison of our physical features intelligent recognition system, there is over a 95% probability that the obese man appearing in these two surveillance images is the same person.
His body type… is very unique. His height is estimated to be around 1.75 meters, but his weight, based on visual estimation, may be over 120 kilograms, or even more.”
“Furthermore, in both incidents, this man appeared very… calm, even relaxed.
He seemed completely unaffected by the chaotic environment around him. Instead, he watched everything happening coldly like an outsider.
This attitude forms a sharp contrast with the dangerous environment he is in and the strangeness of the incident.”
General Dukao stared at the fat man on the screen, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.
He had been a soldier all his life and had seen countless vicious enemies as well as all kinds of extraordinary people with special skills. However, it was rare to see someone like the fat man in front of him, who was so calm and composed in the face of chaos and danger, and even had a hint of playfulness.
“Lianfeng, how likely do you think it is that these ‘small-scale mass accidents’ and the abnormal energy fluctuations we monitored are directly related to this fat man?” Dukao asked in a deep voice.
Lianfeng was silent for a moment, as if he was making complex calculations and evaluations.
After a while, she finally spoke: “General, based on the existing data, we cannot be 100% sure that there is a causal relationship between the two.
Theoretically, these unexpected events all have the possibility of happening by coincidence, although the probability of such coincidence is extremely low.
The energy fluctuations we detected could also be some independent phenomenon that we have not yet discovered and is unrelated to these events.”
“But,” she changed the subject, her tone carrying a certainty that couldn’t be ignored, “if we combine these two factors—the frequent occurrence of small-scale mass incidents and the unexplained abnormal energy fluctuations—with the repeated appearances of this unusually obese man with an unusually relaxed attitude in the same location and time period—these three independent, low-probability events and conduct a comprehensive analysis, then the probability of some kind of inherent connection between them increases significantly.”
“My preliminary assessment is that there’s over a 70% chance that this obese man is directly or indirectly connected to these abnormal events and energy fluctuations.
He is either the direct cause of these events, or he possesses some special ability that can foresee or take advantage of these events.”
General Dukao nodded without saying anything, but the solemnity in his eyes became even stronger.
If Lianfeng’s judgment is correct, then this mysterious fat man is definitely not an ordinary person.
He could be an as-yet undiscovered potential super soldier possessing some unknown super gene, or worse, an unknown being from another civilization lurking on Earth.
“Have you found the identity information of this fat man?” Dukao asked.
Lian Feng shook his head: “Not yet.
Due to the low quality of the surveillance footage, we are unable to obtain clear facial features for accurate identification.
The Land Rover Range Rover he was driving was registered to a young man named ‘Ye Qiu’ according to the license plate number.
Ye Qiu’s household registration information shows that he is 22 years old, a native of Juxia City, his parents died early, he has no fixed job, and his social relations are relatively simple. He looks like an ordinary unemployed young man in the city.
However, the valuable second-hand luxury car in his name and his recent lavish spending records at several high-end restaurants and entertainment venues are seriously inconsistent with his public financial situation.
We suspect that this ‘Ye Qiu’ identity may be just a disguise, or he may have other hidden sources of income.”
“An ordinary unemployed young man, yet he drives a luxury car, and may be related to unexplained energy fluctuations and mass accidents…” General Dukao’s mouth curled up meaningfully. “This is indeed very interesting.”
He pondered for a moment, then gave Lianfeng an order: “Lianfeng, list this obese man named ‘Ye Qiu’ and the several abnormal events related to him as ‘Class D Highly Suspicious Surveillance Targets’.
Do not take any direct contact or intervention actions for the time being to avoid alerting the enemy.
You are responsible for utilizing the computing resources of Deno-3 to conduct ongoing, non-intrusive background research and behavioral pattern analysis on him.
If you discover any signs that he could threaten the Super Seminary project or have any connection with extraterrestrial forces like the Taotie, report to me immediately.”
“Yes, General!” Lian Feng responded decisively, and then began to create a new surveillance file on the operating platform, entering Ye Qiu’s blurred image and related data into it, and marking it with a striking red mark.
“Also,” General Dukao added, “inform Qilin to pay proper attention to this ‘Ye Qiu’ during her daily patrols and duties.
If we encounter them by chance, we can conduct some side observations and probing, but we must be careful about how we do it and not reveal our intentions.”
“clear.”
Lianfeng nodded.
Chapter 24 Forced Love Starts! Qiangwei, You Are Mine! (Old Version)
She knew that Qilin, as an excellent police officer, possessed keen observation and good interpersonal skills, and was indeed a more suitable person to conduct this informal initial contact and observation.
The command hall returned to silence again, with only the slight humming of various instruments and the sound of data streams scrolling on the screen.
General Dukao once again looked at the three-dimensional map of Juxia City. His eyes were full of worry about the future, but also with a hint of imperceptible expectation.
The threat of Taotie is approaching, and Earth civilization is facing an unprecedented crisis.
At this critical moment, any unknown factor that may affect the battle situation deserves their sufficient attention.
Is this “weird fat man” Ye Qiu, who suddenly appears, behaves strangely, and may possess some unknown power, a friend or an enemy, a potential threat, or an unexpected variable?
All of this is still an unknown.
But at least, he has successfully entered the sight of the core team of the Super Seminary, although in a way that none of them expected.
Ye Qiu himself still knew nothing about this. At this moment, he was probably thinking about where to enjoy his next “fat meal”.
Ye Qiu was completely unaware and unconcerned about the fact that he had quietly entered the preliminary observation list of the Super Seminary’s core team.
He still goes his own way and lives his simple and “fulfilling” life.
His world basically revolves around the core theme of “eating”.
Every morning, he usually sleeps until he wakes up naturally, sometimes at nine or ten in the morning, and sometimes just until noon.
The first thing I do after waking up is not to wash up or read the news, but to open various food review apps on my phone, or browse the latest recommendations of food bloggers, and start planning my “eating roadmap” for the day.
He might drive his Land Rover Range Rover across most of Juxia City just to try a newly opened Hong Kong-style tea restaurant that is said to have “god-level egg tarts”.
Or maybe you suddenly want a certain flavor of ice cream and run to the freezers of several large supermarkets.
His life is like a never-ending food tour, filled with endless enthusiasm for all kinds of high-calorie, high-sugar and high-fat foods.
In his apartment, the huge double-door refrigerator and several storage cabinets specifically for snacks are always full.
Potato chips, chocolate, biscuits, candies, carbonated drinks, instant noodles of various flavors, and self-heating hot pots are piled up like mountains, like a small food wholesale warehouse.
He even bought a small commercial freezer to store the various rare meats and seafood he bought online from all over the world, such as Australian Wagyu beef, Spanish Iberian black pork, Alaskan king crab, French blue lobster, etc.
He enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by delicious food, and also enjoyed the pleasure of having his taste buds fully satisfied and his body feeling warm and full from consuming a lot of energy.
For him, every time he eats, he contributes to the “fat cause” and adds bricks to his future safety and comfort.
Of course, in the process of searching for and enjoying delicious food, you may occasionally encounter some ignorant people or unpleasant things.
For example, someone cuts in line at a restaurant, or someone gets mad at you for driving on the road, or, like last time, you get blackmailed by some ignorant thugs.
Ye Qiu usually doesn’t bother to argue with these minor troubles or get into direct conflict with them.
He prefers to solve problems in a more “elegant” and “covert” way.
He would calmly give instructions to the system in his mind, consuming a tiny bit of insignificant fat and inflicting just the right amount of “bad luck” on those targets that made him unhappy.
Then, he would be like an outsider spectator, watching those unlucky guys become flustered and embarrassed by all kinds of sudden “accidents”, and eventually suffer the consequences of their own actions.
For example, the guy who cuts in line may slip after taking two steps after getting the food, and the whole plate of food may fall on himself; the driver who maliciously cuts off your car may be caught by the traffic police at the next intersection for running a red light or changing lanes illegally, and be issued a painful ticket; as for those gangsters who try to harm him, their end is even more miserable, either being bitten by a dog or falling into a pit, in short, they are unlucky.
Ye Qiu really enjoyed the secret pleasure of being like a “mastermind” who could quietly control the fate of others and give them “punishment”.
This made him feel as if he had mastered some kind of divine power, able to pluck the strings of mortals’ fate at will.
Of course, he is also very sensible. The “bad luck” he imposes is usually just a minor one, with the purpose of making the other party suffer a little and learn a lesson, and it will not really cause any irreparable serious consequences.
After all, he just wanted to have some fun and didn’t really want to be a judge.
In addition to this secret pleasure, what makes him feel at ease and satisfied is the continuous growth of fat reserves in his body.
After each feast, he could clearly feel that the delicious food was being converted into pure energy and fat in his body, making his body more “thick” and causing the number representing fat reserves on the system panel to continue to rise.
This growth brought him an unprecedented sense of security.
In this world that is about to become chaotic, nothing can make people feel more secure than one’s own strength and sufficient “strategic reserves”.
As long as he has enough fat, he can continue to strengthen himself and exchange for various magical abilities to deal with any crisis that may arise in the future.
To him, all the disturbances in the outside world, whether it was the increasing number of abnormal events reported in the news or the rumors about aliens that were rampant on the Internet, were far less important than the piece of tender and flavorful braised pork in his own bowl.
No matter how big the matter is, we have to wait until he is full, drinks enough, and has a satisfying burp before we can talk about it.
This optimistic attitude, which is almost “heartless” or “extremely pragmatic”, makes him live an extremely easy and comfortable life.
Chapter 25: Holy crap! The Rose Goddess actually threw herself into my arms! (Old version)
He has no lofty ideals or ambitions, nor does he want to take on the heavy responsibility of saving the world.
He just wants to live the most comfortable, nourishing and safe life within his ability.
He is like a king living in his carefully built castle of “food and fat”. The ups and downs of the outside world seem to have nothing to do with him.
He only cared about whether his castle was strong and his granary was full.
Of course, he didn’t know that his “doing his own thing without realizing it” attitude towards life, and the “bad luck” he used several times to “punish people with small consequences and give them a big warning”, had already caused imperceptible ripples in some places he couldn’t see, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
And these ripples were slowly drawing him into a huge vortex that he had tried his best to avoid.
But at this moment, Ye Qiu knew nothing about this.
He had just finished a sumptuous lunch – a large pot of spicy and fragrant boiled fish, two bowls of rice, and a bottle of ice-cold beer.
At this moment, he was picking his teeth contentedly, thinking about which dessert shop to go to in the afternoon to taste the newly released matcha mille-feuille cake.
Life, to him, is so simple and beautiful.
Ye Qiu’s love for food has reached an almost obsessive level.
He not only pursues the deliciousness of food, but also the freshness and rarity of ingredients.
To this end, he spared no expense in sourcing various top-quality ingredients from all over the world.
Once, through a friend who specialized in purchasing high-end food ingredients, he got a batch of wild bluefin tuna, prawns and geoducks that had just been caught from the deep sea and were said to be of excellent quality.
The shipping and preservation costs of these seafoods alone are shockingly high.
After Ye Qiu got it, he felt like he had found a treasure. That night, he couldn’t wait to prepare a feast in his apartment.
He cooked the meal himself, and although his cooking skills were not superb, thanks to the top quality of the ingredients and his cooking philosophy of “being as luxurious as possible” – such as using top-quality olive oil and sea salt for simple seasoning, or eating the food raw to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent – he managed to create a seafood feast that looked quite tempting.
Ye Qiu enjoyed the bright red and plump tuna belly sashimi, the crystal clear and slightly sweet prawns, the crispy and chewy geoduck slices, and a bottle of chilled Japanese sake from his collection, and his mouth was full of oil.
However, too much joy leads to sorrow.
Just as he devoured most of the seafood on the table like a whirlwind and felt that his body’s fat reserves were about to take another small leap, something strange happened.
He first felt a patch of tiny, slightly itchy red spots starting to appear on his face and neck.
At first he didn’t take it too seriously, thinking it was just a normal reaction to eating too hot food or drinking some alcohol.
But soon, the itching sensation became more and more intense and quickly spread to his chest, back and limbs.
He couldn’t help but scratch it, but the more he scratched, the more itchy it became. Red rashes began to appear on his skin in patches, and some places even swelled up, forming ugly wheals.
“Oh my god! What’s going on?” Ye Qiu realized that something was wrong.
He ran to the bathroom mirror and was immediately shocked.
The self in the mirror looked like a cooked shrimp, with shocking red rashes covering my face, neck, and exposed arms, making me look extremely terrifying.
To make matters worse, he felt his throat tightening, and his breathing became rapid and difficult, as if someone was strangling him.
“Allergic to seafood?!” A terrible thought flashed through Ye Qiu’s mind in an instant.
Although he liked eating seafood before, he had never had such a severe allergic reaction.
Did I eat too much this time? Or are some ingredients in these deep-sea seafood particularly prone to allergies?
Without time to think, the intense itching and the feeling of suffocation caused by difficulty breathing made him feel unprecedented panic.
He knew that a severe allergic reaction could be fatal!
He staggered to the living room, trying to find a cell phone to call emergency services or drive himself to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.
However, just as he was having trouble breathing and his vision was blacking out, and he was almost unable to stand, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning – the system!
He remembered that when he had just obtained the fat system, in addition to the options for strengthening physical fitness and exchanging various strange skills on the system panel, there seemed to be a function that he had always ignored and never used – “treatment”!
At that time, he didn’t pay much attention to this function because he felt that he was in good health and enjoyed eating everything, so he probably wouldn’t need it.
Moreover, he subconsciously felt that the system’s built-in healing function was probably just a consolation prize that was better than nothing, and at most could cure minor ailments such as headaches and fevers.
But now, the situation is urgent, and he can’t care about so much! Let’s try our best!
Ye Qiu endured the unbearable itching and suffocation all over his body, concentrated his mind, and issued urgent instructions to the system in his mind: “System! Quick! Use the healing function! Consume… consume 2 kilograms of fat! Apply ‘mild treatment’ to me! Treatment target: seafood allergy symptoms! Quick!”
He didn’t know if 2 kilograms of fat was enough, nor did he know if the “mild treatment” level could solve his current allergic reaction, which seemed quite serious.
He just followed his instinct and called out a fat consumption amount that he felt he could bear and hoped would work.
As he gave the order, the number representing fat reserves on the system panel immediately decreased by 2.
Then, a faint but unusually cool feeling of energy slowly emanated from the deepest part of his body like a trickle of water.
This cool energy did not carry any strong impact or burning sensation as he had imagined. Instead, it was as moist as spring rain, flowing gently through his limbs and penetrating into every cell of his body.
Ye Qiu could clearly feel that wherever this energy passed, the skin tissues that were swollen and inflamed due to allergies were changing at an incredible speed.
First there was that maddening itching sensation, which quickly lessened and then gradually disappeared, as if being gently brushed by an invisible hand.
Chapter 26: Ge Xiaolun is heartbroken! My goddess! (Old version)
Then, he could feel that the dense and shocking rashes and wheals on his skin were fading and smoothing out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The areas that originally appeared abnormally red and swollen due to congestion gradually began to fade in color and return to normal skin color.
What surprised him even more was that the suffocating feeling that was strangling his throat was quickly relieved with the flow of this cool energy.
His tight throat began to relax and his breathing gradually became smoother, no longer as rapid and difficult as before.
He greedily breathed in deep gulps of fresh air, feeling his physical condition rapidly improving. His heart was filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster and deep shock at the powerful capabilities of the system.
“This…it’s working now?” Ye Qiu looked at the rapidly fading rash on his arm with some disbelief. Feeling the comfort returning to his body, a huge wave of emotion surged in his heart.
He originally thought that the system’s “mild treatment” function could at best alleviate symptoms or speed up recovery.
He was even prepared to go to the hospital for an anti-allergy shot if systemic treatment was ineffective.
But I didn’t expect that this so-called “mild treatment” would be so effective and so overbearing!
The effect of “mild treatment” far exceeded Ye Qiu’s initial expectations, and it could even be said to have overturned his understanding of the system’s healing capabilities.
After the initial cool energy flowed through his body, Ye Qiu could clearly feel that all the functions of his body were returning to normal at an astonishing speed.
The rashes and wheals on the skin almost completely disappeared within just a few minutes.
The areas that were swollen and red due to allergies quickly regained their normal skin color and elasticity, feeling smooth and delicate to the touch, with no sign of the horrific rash that had once covered them.
The piercing itching sensation disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
His throat, which had once been tight and caused difficulty breathing, was completely unblocked.
He took a deep breath, and the air flowed smoothly into his lungs, without the suffocating and oppressive feeling he had before.
His heartbeat also gradually calmed down from the violent beating caused by lack of oxygen and panic, and returned to its normal rhythm.
However, in just over ten minutes, all the discomfort symptoms caused by his severe seafood allergy were completely wiped out as if by an invisible magical hand, disappearing completely without a trace.
Ye Qiu stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining his body.
The skin is as smooth as before, without any trace of allergies.
His breathing became steady and powerful, and his spirits were restored.
If it weren’t for the leftover seafood on the table and his own clear memory, he would almost think that the severe allergic reaction that was enough to be fatal was just a sudden nightmare, a lingering hallucination.
“It’s… too incredible!” Ye Qiu stretched out his hand and touched his smooth cheek, feeling the renewed vitality in his body, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
This almost miraculous ability to heal quickly gave him a deeper and more concrete understanding and confidence in the power of the fat system.
In the past, he knew that the system was magical and could strengthen the body and exchange for various incredible skills, such as the “Bad Luck Aura”, which could indirectly affect reality.
But his understanding of the system is more at the level of “assistance” and “reinforcement”.
This time, the amazing performance of the “mild treatment” function made him see the terrifying potential of the system in terms of “creation” and “reversal”!
This is no longer a simple enhancement, it is simply reversing the physiological laws and creating a miracle of life!
“If just ‘mild treatment’ can cure such a severe acute allergic reaction in just a dozen minutes, then what about higher-level treatment?” This thought involuntarily emerged in Ye Qiu’s mind, and his heart was pounding because of this bold guess.
On the system panel, in the options of the “Treatment” function, in addition to “Mild Treatment”, there must be higher-level options such as “Intermediate Treatment”, “Advanced Treatment” and even “Perfect Treatment”.
However, those options may currently be unlocked or grayed out due to his insufficient authority or insufficient fat reserves.
But Ye Qiu believed that as long as he had enough fat, these higher-level healing functions would be unlocked and used by him sooner or later!
So, what kind of amazing effects can these higher-level treatments achieve?
Does this mean that as long as he has enough fat, he will be immune to all known diseases? Whether it is a common cold and fever, or the dreaded cancer and AIDS, or even those rare and terminal illnesses that the medical community is currently helpless to treat, can they be treated or even completely eradicated by consuming fat?
Thinking further, if even diseases can be cured, then what about injuries? Broken bones, torn muscles, damaged internal organs, or even… broken limbs?
“Regeneration of severed limbs?” When this thought flashed through Ye Qiu’s mind, he couldn’t help but take a breath.
In many myths, legends, or fantasy novels, the regeneration of severed limbs is usually a supernatural ability that only gods or powerful beings with profound cultivation can possess.
If his fat system can really achieve this level of treatment by consuming fat, it would be simply… incredible!
This discovery made Ye Qiu feel unprecedented excitement and excitement.
He seemed to see a golden avenue leading to “immortality” slowly unfolding before him.
Originally, his motivation for accumulating fat was more due to his fear of the future chaos and his desire to enjoy life.
He hopes to strengthen himself through fat so that he will have enough self-protection ability to live safely and comfortably in this upcoming era of Taotie invasion, and live a better life than anyone else.
But now, the amazing effect of the “mild treatment” function, and the imagination of more advanced treatment capabilities triggered by it, have given Ye Qiu a more tempting and ultimate goal in his motivation to accumulate fat – the pursuit of the ultimate life, even eternity!
He began to fantasize involuntarily: If he had a huge, almost endless amount of fat reserves, could he really be immortal and eternally young like those beings in myths and legends?
Chapter 27 Everyone is shocked! What did Ye Qiu do to Qiangwei? (Old version)
Is it possible to possess a physique that is immune to all poisons and indestructible? Or even possess the power to move mountains, fill the sea, and destroy the world?
Although these fantasies sound far-fetched and unrealistic, the various magical abilities that the fat system has demonstrated make Ye Qiu feel that these are not completely impossible!
“Fat! I need more fat! Endless fat!” Ye Qiu clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with unprecedented desire and determination.
He felt that his life goals seemed to be sublimated at this moment.
From the initial “lying down and enjoying”, to the later “protecting himself in troubled times”, and now to the “pursuit of eternity”, his “fat business” seems to have become more grand, and more full of challenges and temptations.
He was even eager to verify whether there would be any other changes in his body after this “mild treatment”.
For example, can an allergy to seafood also be “cured”?
Thinking of this, he glanced at the deep-sea seafood that was still left on the table and almost cost him his life. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but more of it was an impulse to try it.
In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food and his curiosity about the system’s capabilities.
He carefully picked up a small piece of tuna belly sashimi and put it into his mouth.
Well, it’s still so delicious and tender, melting in your mouth.
He waited nervously for a few minutes, but the itching and rash he had imagined did not reappear.
“Could it be… that even my allergic constitution has really improved?” Ye Qiu was delighted and became bolder. He ate a few more pieces of prawns and geoduck in succession.
More than ten minutes passed, and his body still had no adverse reactions.
“Hahaha! That’s awesome! This system is simply invincible!” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He felt like he had obtained a priceless treasure, a magical tool that allowed him to do whatever he wanted and realize all his dreams!
He once again turned his gaze to the delicious seafood, his eyes filled with the pride of a conqueror and the greed of a glutton.
He had already forgotten the terrifying moment just now.
Now, he just wanted to eat up all these delicious foods that almost killed him, and convert them into precious fat in his body, so as to contribute to his more magnificent “fat cause”!
His life seemed to have opened a new chapter full of infinite possibilities because of this unexpected “seafood allergy incident” and the stunning debut of the system’s “mild treatment” function.
Time passed quietly as Ye Qiu indulged in a leisurely life of delicious food and fat, while in the depths of the universe outside the earth, a conspiracy against this blue planet was being rapidly brewed and implemented.
The Taotie civilization, a barbaric race known for plunder and destruction in the universe, has long coveted the Earth, a planet with rich life resources and potential Shenhe genes.
After a period of secret observation and intelligence gathering, their preliminary reconnaissance and infiltration operations on Earth began to become more frequent and bolder.
Initially, Taotie’s small reconnaissance ships were only cautiously hovering in outer space orbit or at the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere, using advanced detection equipment to collect various information about the Earth, such as military deployment, technological level, energy distribution, and the potential location of super gene owners.
They try to avoid being detected by the Earth’s early warning system and their actions are relatively covert.
But as time went on, perhaps because they felt that the Earth’s defenses were vulnerable, perhaps because they were eager to obtain more accurate intelligence, or perhaps simply because of the arrogance and brutality in their bones, the Taotie’s reconnaissance operations began to gradually escalate.
Their small reconnaissance ships are no longer satisfied with just spying from a safe distance in outer space, but have begun to dive deeper into the Earth’s near-Earth airspace, and even conduct short-term landings and information collection in some sparsely populated deserts, Gobi deserts, deep mountains and forests, as well as some relatively weakly defended urban outskirts.
They will even release some miniature unmanned probes that move like ghosts in every corner of the earth, collecting all the intelligence they think is valuable.
The number of UFO incursions captured by Earth’s military radar systems and air patrol forces has increased dramatically in recent times.
Occasionally, the aircraft of both sides would engage in small-scale but extremely fierce firefights in the air.
Although the Earth’s military, with its numerical advantage and the convenience of fighting on its home turf, was able to successfully drive away or shoot down the invading Taotie reconnaissance units in most of these small-scale conflicts, it also paid a certain price.
More importantly, these frequent invasions and conflicts made the top military brass clearly realize that the threat posed by the Taotie was no longer a “future crisis” that remained at the level of intelligence analysis and theoretical deduction, but a “real war” that was imminent and could break out at any time.
Although the military and government departments are doing their best to block the relevant information, using various excuses, such as “military exercises”, “weather detection”, “UFO enthusiasts activities”, etc., to cover up the truth and maintain the superficial stability of society and the normal life order of the people.
But the tense atmosphere, which seemed to be about to storm, had already weighed on the hearts of all the senior officials who knew about the situation, like a heavy rock, making them feel unprecedented pressure.
Juxia City, as one of the main battlefields for the future Taotie invasion, has also begun to quietly strengthen its surrounding military deployments without the knowledge of ordinary people.
More advanced radar equipment was secretly delivered, the air defense missile positions entered a higher level of alert, and the frequency of air force fighter patrols also increased significantly.
Some rapid reaction forces originally stationed in other areas also began to gather around Juxia City in the name of “training” or “exercises.”
The entire city is like a bow that is slowly being tightened. Although it is still prosperous and bustling on the surface, on the invisible level, the shadow of war is growing thicker and thicker.
All this did not seem to have much impact on Ye Qiu, who was immersed in his own little world.
He still lived his own life, but occasionally when he saw some vague “military developments” in the news, he would curl his lips and mutter to himself, “Is it finally starting?”, and then continue eating and drinking.
Chapter 28 Dukao is furious: Ye Qiu, what did you do to my daughter! (Old version)
He believed that if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up.
He just needs to make sure he has enough fat so that when the sky falls, he can find the safest and most comfortable corner for himself and continue to enjoy his gourmet life.
One afternoon, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle.
Ye Qiu had just enjoyed a luxurious lunch at a newly opened French restaurant in the city center, which included foie gras, snails, truffle steak and exquisite desserts.
At this moment, he was driving his black Land Rover Range Rover on a coastal road near the edge of the city where there were relatively few vehicles.
On one side of the road is the sparkling sea, and on the other side are rolling hills and some undeveloped wasteland.
The scenery is nice and the air is fresh. It is very suitable for enjoying the sea breeze after a big meal, helping to digest the food and enjoying a relaxing afternoon.
Ye Qiu lowered the car window and let the salty sea breeze blow on his cheeks, which looked a little round due to long-term overnutrition.
He turned on the car stereo and played his favorite light music, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel to the beat of the music.
The feeling of fullness in his stomach and the slight warmth in his body from digesting the food made him feel lazy and comfortable.
“Life should be so comfortable.”
Ye Qiu yawned contentedly, squinted his eyes, and enjoyed this rare tranquility.
However, just as he was immersed in this leisurely atmosphere, an accident happened without any warning.
“boom–!!!”
A deafening explosion, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, suddenly came from the sky not far away! The sound was so loud that Ye Qiu felt his eardrums buzzing, and even his heavy Land Rover seemed to shake slightly due to the sound waves.
Ye Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, was startled, and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge fireball burning in the sky not far ahead, about one or two kilometers away. Thick black smoke rose straight into the sky, appearing particularly dazzling under the blue sky.
Then, he saw the wreckage of a small unidentified metal aircraft, trailing long trails of black smoke and flames. It fell from the sky at high speed like a bird with broken wings, and crashed directly into a wasteland beside the road!
“BOOM—BOOM—!”
Another series of even more violent explosions followed! The moment the wreckage of the small aircraft touched the ground, it seemed to have triggered the detonation of some explosive material or energy core carried within it, resulting in a chain reaction of astonishing power!
For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, debris flew everywhere, and a powerful shock wave spread wildly in all directions like a strong wind, carrying with it scorching air waves, dust, and metal fragments of various sizes!
“Damn! Taotie scout?!” Ye Qiu’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he instantly recognized the shape of the wreckage of the crashed aircraft.
That was clearly a small unmanned attack unit used by the Taotie civilization for preliminary reconnaissance and infiltration!
He hadn’t expected that he would be so “lucky” as to encounter this kind of “alien plane crash” that he only saw on the news when he was just out for a ride! Moreover, judging by the appearance of this plane, it seemed that it had just been shot down by the Earth military!
Although Ye Qiu reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes immediately, the explosion happened too suddenly and the distance was too close, so he had no time to make any more evasive moves.
The violent shock wave arrived almost instantly!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Countless pieces of gravel and tiny metal fragments hit the body of his Land Rover like raindrops, making a series of teeth-grinding and dense noises.
Under this powerful impact, the sturdy windshield and car windows began to make “cracking” sounds as they could not bear the weight, and were quickly covered with spider-web-like cracks.
Ye Qiu subconsciously wanted to activate the system and give himself a defensive skill such as “energy shield”.
However, just as this thought came to his mind and before he could issue an order—
“Sizzle!”
There was a sharp sound of glass breaking!
A palm-sized triangular piece of metal debris with extremely sharp edges, swept up by the shock wave, pierced through the left driver’s seat window at an extremely high speed, like a bullet!
Broken glass splattered everywhere.
Ye Qiu only felt a sudden sharp pain in his left arm!
He groaned and looked down.
The sharp metal fragment, after cutting through the car window, still had the force to leave a deep wound on his left arm where the bone could be seen!
Bright red blood gushed out from the wound like a flood, quickly staining his sleeves red, and dripped down his arms onto the leather seat, forming a glaring pool of blood.
The wound was not deep, but not shallow either. It was at least seven or eight centimeters long, and the edge was a bit jagged due to the tearing of metal fragments.
The intense pain and the slight dizziness caused by blood loss made Ye Qiu frown tightly.
The surrounding roads were also thrown into chaos due to the sudden explosion and shock wave.
Several private cars that were also driving nearby were affected to varying degrees. Some were hit by gravel, some had their tires punctured, and there was even a car that lost control and crashed into the roadside guardrail because the driver panicked.
Some drivers and passengers who were frightened by the explosion ran out of the car and looked in horror at the crash site not far away that was still burning and emitting thick smoke, as well as the vague and rapidly moving figures of several Earth military fighter jets in the sky.
Several people also noticed the situation on Ye Qiu’s side. When they saw the shocking wound on his arm and the blood that kept flowing, they all exclaimed in surprise.
“Oh my God! That guy is hurt!”
“Quick! Call the emergency number!”
“What happened here? Was it a terrorist attack?”
The exclamations and screams of passers-by, as well as the continuous “crackling” sound of burning coming from the crash site in the distance, intertwined together, making the originally quiet afternoon instantly become as chaotic and noisy as a battlefield.
Ye Qiu frowned tightly and pressed the wound on his left arm with his right hand, trying to slow down the blood loss.
He felt the stinging pain from the wound and the numbness in his arm due to blood loss, but he did not feel too much panic or fear in his heart.
Chapter 29 Liang Bing was curious: This fat guy is something! (Old version)
He frowned, not because of the pain – this minor injury was still within the tolerable range for him, who had endured greater pain under the system enhancement.
He frowned, but not because he was afraid – he knew that with his current physical condition and the recovery ability given by his fat system, a wound of this degree, although scary, was not fatal. At most, he would bleed more and would heal in a few days.
He frowned, the real reason was – he felt it was troublesome!
He had finally finished his meal at the French restaurant and was about to go to the next dessert shop to continue his “food journey”, but he encountered this bad luck!
Now that my arm is injured and bleeding so much, I definitely can’t just drive around.
If discovered by the police or emergency personnel, you will inevitably be taken to the hospital for examination, debridement, suturing, bandaging, and you may also need to get a tetanus shot.
This whole process would take up at least half a day of his time!
Wouldn’t all his future food plans be ruined?!
When Ye Qiu thought that he might miss out on those delicious cakes, ice cream, and milk tea because of this “minor injury”, he felt inexplicably irritated and unhappy.
“It’s really… bad luck!” Ye Qiu cursed in his heart.
He felt that he must have not checked the almanac before going out today, which was why he encountered this unexpected disaster.
He glanced at the blood still flowing from his arm, then glanced at the passers-by outside the car window who were frantically calling the police or trying to offer help, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
“Going to the hospital is too troublesome… How about trying the system’s ‘minor treatment’?”
Ye Qiu glanced at the wound on his left arm that was still oozing blood, and then quickly glanced at the ordinary citizens around him who were looking at him with horror, sympathy and a hint of curiosity.
These people’s faces were filled with fear of the sudden explosion and concern for the injured.
Some people have taken out their cell phones, seemingly ready to call emergency services or the police.
He thought about it for a moment, and a somewhat bold idea, even a bit of showing off and temptation, quickly formed in his mind.
“Going to the hospital is too troublesome, and it will definitely delay my next gourmet plan.”
Ye Qiu muttered in his heart, “Since the system’s ‘mild treatment’ is so effective, why not… try it again right here, in front of these people?”
He knew that if he demonstrated this almost miraculous self-healing ability in public, it would definitely cause an uproar and might even expose the secret of his special abilities.
But, on second thought, let it be exposed! Anyway, the invasion of Taotie is inevitable, and sooner or later, this world will no longer be peaceful.
Maybe it’s not a bad thing to show a little “difference” in advance.
At least, it can make some people feel a little wary of him and save some unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, he was also a little curious and wanted to see what expressions these ordinary earthlings would have after witnessing this “miracle” that was beyond their cognition.
This little bit of evil taste gave him an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
More importantly, he now has confidence in his fat system.
As long as he had enough fat, he believed he could handle most emergencies.
Having made up his mind, Ye Qiu no longer hesitated.
He took a deep breath, endured the pain in his arm, and tried to make his expression look calm and composed.
He even gave a slightly soothing, but at the moment somewhat unfathomable, smile to the citizens who were about to make phone calls.
Then, he concentrated his mind and gave the system a clear instruction in his mind: “System, consume 1 kilogram of pure fat to perform ‘minor treatment’ on the wound on my left arm!”
The reason why he chose to consume only 1 kilogram of fat instead of 2 kilograms like the last time he treated seafood allergy was, firstly, because he felt that although the wound looked scary this time, it was just a skin injury after all, and should not require too much energy; secondly, he wanted to test whether there would be any difference in the effect of “mild treatment” under different fat consumption amounts.
As he gave the order, the number representing fat reserves on the system panel immediately decreased by 1.
Almost at the same moment, a warm airflow, weaker than the last time when he treated seafood allergy, but still clearly perceptible, surged out from Ye Qiu’s body and precisely wrapped around the bloody wound on his left arm.
This warm current is like a mother’s gentle caress, carrying an indescribable breath of life.
The scene that happened next was something that the citizens who were watching him would never forget.
The hideous wound on Ye Qiu’s arm, which was still oozing blood, began to undergo incredible changes at a speed visible to the naked eye and completely contrary to medical common sense after being wrapped by the invisible warm current!
First, the bleeding stopped.
The gushing blood stopped instantly as if the pause button had been pressed.
The skin around the wound, which had appeared pale due to blood loss, began to gradually regain its rosy color.
Next, the wound shrinks.
The crack, which was originally about seven or eight centimeters long, seemed to have life as it slowly gathered and closed in the middle under the gaze of everyone.
The skin and flesh on both sides of the wound reconnected at an astonishing speed.
Then, there’s the scab.
After the wound was completely closed, a thin layer of dark red blood scab quickly formed on the surface of the wound.
The speed at which this layer of blood scab forms is more than a hundred times faster than normal!
The most incredible, even creepy, thing is that this newly formed blood scab does not fall off naturally after waiting for several days or even weeks as normal.
Instead, just a few tens of seconds after it was formed, some tiny cracks began to appear, and then, in full view of everyone, it actually… fell off by itself!
It was like a piece of dried mud peeling off the wall.
When the thin layer of blood scab completely fell off, what was revealed was the intact, smooth and delicate skin!
There were no wounds, no cracks, not even the slightest scar left!
Chapter 30: The world of two people of Fatty and the goddess, you will be jealous to death! (Old version)
It was as if the horrific wound that was so deep that the bone could be seen and the blood was dripping had never existed!
The entire process, from Ye Qiu giving the order to the wound completely healing, took only one or two minutes!
This incredible, even miraculous scene left the surrounding witnesses stunned. They stood frozen in place as if under a spell, with their mouths wide open, unable to close for a long time.
Their eyes were wide open, filled with shock, confusion, fear, and a hint of unbelievable fanaticism.
They rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating because they were frightened by the explosion.
“I… I didn’t see it wrong? His… his wound… healed by itself?” A young man who looked like a white-collar worker in a company muttered to himself in a trembling voice, almost at a volume that only he could hear.
“Is…is this a magic trick? Or…or am I dazzled?” A middle-aged woman wearing glasses next to her adjusted her glasses and blinked hard, trying to see clearly the extraordinary scene in front of her.
“God…God! It must be a god who has descended to earth!” An older grandmother put her hands together and bowed in the direction of Ye Qiu, muttering something, obviously treating Ye Qiu as some kind of divine deity.
One of the young men reacted quickly. After the initial shock, he immediately thought of something and took out his mobile phone from his pocket tremblingly, as if he wanted to record this shocking scene.
However, just as he raised his phone and was about to press the record button, Ye Qiu’s calm and deep gaze swept over like two tangible swords.
That look was not fierce, and it could even be said to have a hint of “kindness” in it.
But for some reason, the young man felt an inexplicable chill rising from the bottom of his heart when he was swept by this gaze. His wrist went limp and his phone almost fell to the ground.
He subconsciously put away his phone and no longer dared to think about taking pictures.
Ye Qiu simply glanced at the expressions of the people around him who looked as if they had seen a ghost, as well as the turbulent waves in their hearts, without saying much.
He stretched out his right hand and gently touched the skin on his left arm that had just “healed”. It felt smooth and no different from the surrounding skin. He couldn’t even feel the slightest trace of injury.
“Well, the effect of 1 kilogram of fat is not bad.”
Ye Qiu nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
It seems that for this kind of common skin injury, the minimum consumption standard of “minor treatment” is enough to deal with it.
This gave him a new understanding of the “cost-effectiveness” of fat.
He ignored the witnesses who were still in extreme shock and even began to whisper to each other.
He just calmly closed the car door, started the car, and then ignored the conspicuous holes on the window and the fine scratches on the car body, as if nothing had happened, and slowly drove away from this place full of “accidents” and “miracles”.
He knew that today’s incident could no longer be concealed.
But so what? He has the fat system as his biggest trump card, and he believes he can deal with any possible situation.
Now, he just wants to leave here quickly and complete his unfinished “food journey”.
After all, the matcha mille-feuille cake from that dessert shop was still waiting for him.
Ye Qiu drove away, leaving behind a pile of broken glass and several ordinary citizens who were completely stunned and confused because they had witnessed the “miracle” with their own eyes.
When Ye Qiu’s battered Land Rover Range Rover disappeared at the end of the road, the witnesses seemed to wake up from a dream and slowly recovered from the extremely shocking scene.
They looked at each other, and everyone’s face still showed shock and disbelief.
“Just…what happened just now? Did you all see it?” The first person to speak was the young white-collar man. His voice was still trembling, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the shock just now.
“I saw it… I saw it clearly! There was such a big cut on his arm, and so much blood was flowing out, but… in the blink of an eye, it was… gone! There’s not even a scar!” The middle-aged woman with glasses nodded vigorously, her tone full of disbelief.
She had lived half her life and had never seen anything so bizarre.
“Amitabha, it’s really the gods appearing, it’s really the gods appearing!” The old lady was still immersed in her own world, with her hands clasped together, chanting non-stop.
In her opinion, there was no other more reasonable explanation for the scene just now except that it was a “divine appearance”.
“He… he’s definitely not an ordinary person!” A young girl who looked like a college student whispered, her eyes gleaming with excitement and fear. “Do you think he could be… one of those legendary… people with special abilities? Or… or maybe even… Superman?”
“Special abilities? Superman?” As soon as these two words came out, they immediately resonated with the others.
Yes, apart from these concepts that only appear in movies and novels, they really couldn’t think of anything else that could explain the incredible phenomenon of the wound healing just now.
A normal person with such a severe injury and so much blood would be in danger of dying if they weren’t rushed to the hospital! But that fat guy, as if nothing had happened, healed his wounds as if nothing had happened. It was even more exaggerated than the special effects in science fiction movies!
“This is unbelievable! Should we call the police?” the white-collar man said hesitantly.
He felt that since something so serious, even supernatural, had occurred, it should be reported to the authorities.
“Call the police? What police?” The middle-aged woman frowned. “Should we tell the police that we saw a wound on a fat man’s arm heal by itself? I’d be surprised if they don’t think we’re crazy!”
“But…but this is too bizarre! Also, what was that…that flying vehicle that just fell from the sky? And those fighter planes…I have a feeling that what happened today isn’t simple.
Chapter 31: Taotie Vanguard? Dare to mess with me, Ye Qiu, and I’ll make sure you never get back! (Old Version)
The college girl said worriedly.
They began to whisper to each other.
Everyone was using their limited knowledge to try to understand and explain what had just happened.
They looked in the direction where Ye Qiu left, their eyes filled with awe, curiosity, and a hint of indescribable fear.
Some people whispered, “This fat man must be a god who has come down to earth to transcend the calamity”, some speculated, “Is he a super soldier transformed by aliens?”, and some even thought of the recent rumors circulating on the Internet about “the coming of the apocalypse” and “awakening of superpowers”, and felt that the appearance of this fat man might be some kind of omen.
Although Ye Qiu had already left the scene, he did not know what kind of storm his “improvisational performance” had caused in the hearts of these ordinary citizens, and what impact it would have on their future lives.
What he didn’t know was that his “superpower” that he “inadvertently” revealed would soon spread rapidly in a small circle like wings through word of mouth among these witnesses and anonymous revelations on the Internet by some busybodies.
Although the authorities may try their best to control and guide public opinion, the news that “a mysterious person with special abilities appeared in Juxia City who can instantly heal serious injuries” will probably soon be like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples one after another, and eventually, inevitably reach the ears of those “officials” who truly hold the core information.
Ye Qiu realized that the exposure of his abilities might come faster and more directly than he had initially expected.
He originally thought that he could hide behind the scenes and steadily accumulate fat, and when the Taotie army really arrived and the world was in chaos, he would come out with his powerful strength to “clean up the mess”, or at least “keep himself safe”.
However, he did not expect that an accidental injury and a sudden impulse would cause him to expose the “tip of the iceberg” of himself to the world in such a dramatic way.
“Maa, it’s exposed now.”
Ye Qiu was driving, feeling the intact skin on his arm, without much regret or worry in his heart.
Instead, he thought it was fine this way.
At least, when he encounters similar troubles in the future, or needs to show his strength, he can be less cautious and more calm.
Moreover, he was also somewhat looking forward to seeing what attitude those so-called “official organizations,” such as the Super Seminary, would adopt towards him after learning of his “special abilities”? Would they try to win him over? Test him? Or… outright regard him as a threat?
No matter what, he is confident that he can deal with anything that may happen in the future with his growing fat reserves and increasingly powerful system capabilities.
His life seems destined to be extraordinary.
In this case, let’s make this “game” more exciting!
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu’s mood became somewhat relaxed and happy.
He even started humming a little tune, putting the thrilling accident behind him and refocusing his attention on his next gourmet goal.
After all, to him, no matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as the matcha mille-feuille cake in front of him.
As expected, the incident of Ye Qiu quickly healing his arm wound on the road on the edge of the city in front of several witnesses was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, which soon caused a chain reaction.
Those citizens who witnessed the “miracle” chose to call the police after the initial shock and confusion.
They described to the police everything they saw, heard, and guessed.
Although their narratives may contain some personal subjective assumptions and exaggerations, the core fact that “an obese man’s arm was severely scratched by metal fragments, and the wound healed on its own in a very short time without leaving any scars” is clear and consistent.
At the same time, some curious people, or those young people who, despite being shocked, still retained a “sharing spirit”, anonymously posted the blurry video clips they had taken (although Ye Qiu stopped close-up filming, some people in the distance still captured some images with the telephoto lens of their mobile phones) and descriptions of the incident on some local forums and social media groups.
Although these posts and videos were quickly discovered and deleted or blocked by Internet regulatory authorities, the rumor that “a person with superpowers appeared in Juxia City and is suspected of possessing super self-healing abilities” spread rapidly in a small area like a virus, arousing the curiosity and discussion of many netizens.
This information from the public and the Internet was quickly gathered into the hands of higher-level decision makers through the internal intelligence system of the Juxia City Security Bureau and the public opinion monitoring network of the national security department.
At the secret military base on the outskirts of Juxia City, General Dukao’s team received the relevant briefing at almost the same time.
When Lianfeng presented the latest report on the “incident of a suspected psychic rapidly healing in public” to General Dukao, the battle-hardened and always calm commander of the Denor galaxy couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
“Quick self-healing? No scars left? And in full view of everyone?” General Dukao’s gaze lingered for a moment on the pictures in the report that were taken from the blurry video, showing Ye Qiu’s obese figure and the changes in his arm wound (although very unclear), and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.
“Yes, General.”
Lianfeng pushed up his glasses and reported calmly, “Based on the cross-testimonies of multiple witnesses and analysis of several low-quality videos we intercepted online, we can basically confirm that the protagonist of this incident is none other than the Class D, highly suspicious surveillance target named ‘Ye Qiu’ that we previously marked.”
“Moreover, the time and location of this incident are highly consistent with an unidentified, small-scale, high-intensity abnormal energy fluctuation captured by our nearby ‘Tianhe’ series of micro-energy sensors.
The peak energy fluctuation this time was slightly higher than the previous ones, at around 1.5 standard energy units, and lasted slightly longer, reaching nearly two minutes.
Chapter 32: The flagship commander was stunned: Why is my ship not obeying my orders? (Old version)
As Lianfeng spoke, he called up Ye Qiu’s personal information on the holographic projection screen in the command hall, as well as the energy anomaly reports of several “small-scale mass accidents” related to him.
When these pieces of information are put together, a clear yet mysterious thread begins to emerge.
This fat man named Ye Qiu may not only possess some strange ability that can cause small-scale unexpected events (similar to a bad luck aura), but now it seems that he also has an incredible ability to heal himself quickly!
“That’s interesting.”
General Dukao touched his chin and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had previously classified Ye Qiu as a “Class D highly suspicious surveillance target” more out of professional sensitivity and vigilance against unknown factors.
After all, the “bad luck” ability that Ye Qiu had demonstrated before, although strange, was not too destructive, and its range of effect was limited, so it did not pose a big threat for the time being.
But now, the emergence of this “rapid self-healing” ability has instantly raised Ye Qiu’s danger level and attention level in his mind by several levels!
In the upcoming interstellar war, the strategic value of warriors with powerful self-healing abilities is self-evident.
They can withstand more violent attacks, recover quickly after being injured, and even turn the tide of battle at critical moments with their “immortal cockroach”-like characteristics.
If Ye Qiu’s self-healing ability is real and can be replicated or studied, it will be a huge blessing for the Super Seminary and the defense forces of the entire earth!
Of course, on the other hand, if this capability is in the hands of an uncontrolled or even hostile person, it will also be a huge potential threat.
“It seems that our previous assessment of this ‘Ye Qiu’ was a bit conservative.”
General Dukao said in a deep voice, “The secrets he hides may be more numerous and more important than we imagined.”
He acted decisively and issued a new order: “Lianfeng, immediately raise Ye Qiu’s surveillance level from ‘Level D Highly Suspicious’ to ‘Level B Key Attention’! Establish a secret investigation team specifically for him, composed of the most experienced special agents, to conduct round-the-clock, non-contact, covert observation and an in-depth background investigation on him!”
“The core goal of the investigation is to identify the source of the mysterious energy within him, assess the specific characteristics, upper limits, and potential risks of his abilities, and whether he has any connection with any known super genetic system or alien civilization.
At the same time, we must pay close attention to his daily behavior patterns and analyze his character, motivations, and potential positions.”
“Remember, before you fully understand his background, you must not engage in any direct contact or stimulating behavior, so as to avoid unpredictable consequences.
What we need now is intelligence and patience, not reckless action.”
“Yes, General!” Lian Feng immediately accepted the order and began to form an investigation team and mobilize the resources of Denor No. 3 to prepare for the subsequent in-depth investigation.
A secret investigation team consisting of senior special agents with military backgrounds, intelligence analysts, psychological profilers, and even one or two scientific research consultants with in-depth research in the fields of energy and genetics was quickly established in a very short time.
They have only one mission – to uncover the layers of mystery surrounding the “weird fat man Ye Qiu” in all directions and without any blind spots.
Although Ye Qiu spent most of his time enjoying delicious food and experiencing the various magical functions of the system, he was not a naive person who was unaware of changes in the external environment.
On the contrary, due to long-term consumption of high-energy foods and the subtle influence of the system, his physical fitness, including his five senses, has been greatly enhanced without his knowledge.
Especially after he used “Bad Luck Aura” and “Minor Healing” several times, which required the consumption of fat to activate the system abilities, he could vaguely feel that his mental power seemed to have become more sharp and focused.
Although he himself did not realize it, this keen perception was largely a “benefit” brought by the system.
Therefore, a few days after the secret investigation team began to observe and track him around the clock, Ye Qiu vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He found that no matter where he went, whether he was enjoying a big meal in a high-end restaurant, buying snacks in the supermarket, or even just driving around on the street, there always seemed to be a few vague, scrutinizing and inquiring eyes quietly watching him from a distance.
Sometimes, he would see the same seemingly ordinary black or silver car in the rearview mirror, following him closely at different times and on different routes.
The drivers of these vehicles usually wear sunglasses or baseball caps, deliberately hiding their faces, and their driving skills are quite skilled. They can maintain a certain tracking distance and are not easily thrown off.
Sometimes, when he was eating in a restaurant or strolling in a shopping mall, he would notice some people whose behavior was a little deliberate, but whose eyes always glanced at him inadvertently.
Some of these people disguise themselves as diners who are also having a meal, some disguise themselves as customers who are picking out goods, and some even disguise themselves as passers-by who are reading newspapers or making phone calls on the roadside.
At first, Ye Qiu thought that it was because he had been spending money too lavishly recently, or because he had taught Wang San and his gang a lesson in the parking lot last time, which had caused him some new trouble.
But after observing carefully for a few days, he found that the behavior patterns of these stalkers were obviously different from those of ordinary street thugs or small-time characters seeking revenge.
They are more patient, more disciplined, and more professional.
They never approached him actively, nor did they make any direct provocation or contact. They just followed him from a distance like ghosts, silently observing and recording his every move.
“Oh? Looks like the ‘official’ people came to visit.”
Ye Qiu sneered in his heart. He had actually anticipated this situation.
After all, the “wound self-healing” ability he had demonstrated in public before was so shocking that it would be strange if it did not attract official attention.
However, Ye Qiu was not at all nervous or panicked about this. Instead, he found it somewhat amusing, even a little…
Chapter 33: The King of Picking Up Loot in the Heroic Army! All thanks to Ye Qiu’s secret trickery! (Old Version)
…a little excited?
He felt that these “tails” that followed him secretly were like adding some little “seasoning” to his peaceful and slightly monotonous gourmet life.
He didn’t think about getting rid of these stalkers immediately or confronting them directly.
Instead, he thought it would be fun to tease these professionals who thought they were hiding their secrets well.
Thus, a game of cat and mouse, or more accurately, “fat cat playing with stupid mouse”, began quietly.
Ye Qiu began to deliberately display some incredible “little abilities” inadvertently in blind spots of surveillance cameras or in remote places.
For example, one time, he was driving in the city and waiting for a red light.
He noticed that the black Audi sedan that had been following him for several days also stopped in the lane next to him.
The two “men in suits” in the car were pretending to chat, but their eyes would glance at him through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Ye Qiu’s lips curled up into a wicked smile, and he silently said to himself, “System, consume 0.1 kilograms of fat and slowly deflate the left front tire of that black Audi.”
As the thought flashed through his mind, an imperceptible energy fluctuation silently acted on the tires of the Audi.
Soon, the green light came on.
Ye Qiu stepped on the accelerator and the Land Rover drove out smoothly.
The black Audi next to it was about to start when its body suddenly tilted to the left front, making a muffled “puff” sound as if the tire was leaking air.
The two “men in suits” in the car were obviously stunned for a moment, then they hurriedly pulled the car over and got out to check.
When they saw the left front tire that was deflated like a ball, expressions of confusion and bewilderment appeared on their faces.
They clearly remembered that they had checked the tire pressure just before leaving the car and everything was normal, so how could it suddenly become flat? Moreover, there were no sharp objects around that could cause a tire blowout.
Ye Qiu saw their helpless and embarrassed appearance through the rearview mirror, and his heart was filled with joy.
For example, one time, Ye Qiu ordered a cappuccino and a tiramisu in an elegant coffee shop, and leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea time.
He noticed that a gentle-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting at the next table. He was pretending to read a thick professional book, but he had a tiny wireless headset in his ears. There seemed to be an inconspicuous briefcase under the table, and the outlines of some electronic equipment could be vaguely seen in it.
“Yeah, they’ve even used monitoring equipment. Pretty professional.”
Ye Qiu smiled secretly in his heart.
He took a leisurely sip of coffee. Then, while the man was flipping through a book, he mentally instructed the system again: “System, consume 0.05 kilograms of fat. Make sure that guy’s Americano on his desk accidentally spills. Ideally, it should get those ‘toys’ in his bag wet.”
Almost at the moment when he finished thinking, the man with glasses seemed to want to reach out for a napkin next to him, but his elbow “accidentally” touched his full cup of American coffee.
The entire cup of scalding coffee spilled squarely onto his open book and the briefcase he placed under the table!
“Oh, damn it!” The man uttered a low curse, jumped up from his seat, and scrambled to rescue his books and briefcase.
The coffee stains quickly seeped through the pages of the book and soaked the surface of the briefcase.
Faintly, Ye Qiu seemed to hear a faint “sizzling” sound caused by a short circuit in the current.
The man’s face turned pale. He wiped it randomly with a napkin and glared at Ye Qiu out of the corner of his eye. He seemed to suspect that Ye Qiu was the one who did it, but he couldn’t find any evidence.
In the end, he could only pack up his wet “tools” in a mess and hurriedly leave the cafe.
Ye Qiu looked at his fleeing back, picked up his cappuccino, took a sip with satisfaction, and a smile as if he had succeeded in a prank appeared on his face.
Little “pranks” like this happened frequently in the next few days.
Sometimes, the wipers of the tracking vehicle suddenly malfunction and swing wildly in clear weather; sometimes, the communication equipment on the tracker suddenly makes a harsh noise or the signal is interrupted; sometimes, even the camera lens they are preparing to use for long-distance shooting will be inexplicably covered with a layer of fog that cannot be wiped off.
Although these small “accidents” did not cause any substantial harm, they caused a lot of headaches for the special agents of the investigation team responsible for tracking Ye Qiu, and they also became more wary and vigilant about the strange abilities of this target person.
They began to realize that what they were facing might not be an ordinary “superpower” with just special physical qualities, but a more mysterious and dangerous existence that could affect reality on a small scale in a way they could not understand, and even interfere with sophisticated electronic equipment.
The secret investigation team meticulously recorded Ye Qiu’s various “counter-reconnaissance” behaviors, as well as those “small accidents” that occurred during the tracking process and could not be explained by scientific reasons. They also attached a detailed analysis report and reported it truthfully to General Dukao.
In the command hall of the heavily guarded secret base, General Dukao carefully read the latest investigation report on Ye Qiu.
His brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, and his eyes were full of thought and exploration.
The image of Ye Qiu described in the report is very contradictory and full of mystery:
He is extremely obese, has an astonishing appetite, lives an extremely extravagant life, and seems to have an extraordinary pursuit of money and material enjoyment.
His daily behavior pattern is to eat, sleep, or drive around in a luxury car. He looks like a playboy who is uneducated and only knows how to enjoy himself, or an ordinary person who suddenly became rich and has an unbalanced mentality.
However, this fat man who looks “ordinary” and even a little “vulgar” actually possesses a series of incredible mysterious abilities.
He seems to be able to influence probability in a small range, causing people or objects around him to encounter various “coincidental” accidents. This ability is highly consistent with the “bad luck halo” effect mentioned in the previous report.
Chapter 34: Lena: Is this fat guy really a jinx? (Old version)
He is also able to cause some unknown interference to delicate electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction or fail.
The special agents of the investigation team have had several sets of expensive monitoring and filming equipment scrapped due to various “accidents”.
What’s even more shocking is that he seems to have an unimaginable ability to heal himself quickly.
That time, on a road on the edge of the city, his arm was severely scratched by metal fragments. In full view of everyone, the wound healed within just one or two minutes, leaving no scar at all. This “miracle” has been confirmed through multiple channels.
These ability characteristics are completely incompatible with any super gene system currently known to the Super Seminary, such as the “God-killing Power”, “Galaxy Power”, “No Star War God” of the Denor Galaxy, or the “Sunlight” of the Lieyang Civilization, or even the “Holy Body” of the Angel Civilization!
It is also impossible to provide a reasonable explanation or analysis using any existing scientific and technological theories on Earth.
“A completely new energy source that cannot be matched by the existing gene library, nor analyzed by existing scientific and technological means…” General Dukao put down the report in his hand, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and his eyes flashed brighter and brighter.
As a commander who once commanded an interstellar fleet and witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, General Dukao always maintains a high degree of vigilance and a strong curiosity about unknown things.
He was keenly aware that the various peculiarities displayed by this fat man named Ye Qiu might represent a completely new super gene sequence that had never been discovered before, or a more mysterious and powerful power system that was completely independent of the Shenhe civilization system!
No matter which possibility it is, this Ye Qiu has extremely high research value and potential strategic significance!
If we can crack the secret of his abilities, perhaps we can add an unexpected trump card for Earth civilization in the upcoming cosmic war!
“This Ye Qiu… I must find a way to contact him.”
General Ducao made a decision in his heart.
Of course, the manner and timing of contact need to be carefully considered.
Faced with such a mysterious figure with strange abilities and unconventional behavior, any reckless action may lead to unpredictable consequences.
“Lianfeng,” General Dukao raised his head and looked at his right-hand man standing beside him. “How do you think we should make initial, safe contact with this Ye Qiu?”
Lian Feng pushed his glasses, pondered for a moment, and said, “General, considering that the target person Ye Qiu is currently showing an attitude of ‘entertaining himself’ and ‘not wanting to be disturbed’, and he seems to have noticed our secret investigation and even taken some ‘warning’ countermeasures.
I suggest that we should not continue this purely covert surveillance.”
“Perhaps, we can try a more ‘proactive’, but also more ‘friendly’ approach.
For example, we can create a chance encounter, with someone we trust who has good communication and adaptability skills, and have an informal, exploratory exchange with him on a relatively equal footing.
“Through this exchange, we can make a preliminary assessment of his personality, intelligence, basic views on external affairs, and his possible attitude towards ‘officials’.
At the same time, we can also observe whether he is willing to reveal some information about his own abilities to a certain extent.”
General Dukao nodded, thinking that Lianfeng’s suggestion made sense.
“Then, this candidate…” General Dukao glanced around the command hall, as if considering who would undertake this important, but potentially risky task.
His gaze finally fell on the holographic projection screen, on the portrait of Qilin, a young policewoman with a heroic appearance and a hint of determination between her brows.
Just as General Dukao became increasingly interested in the mysterious fat man Ye Qiu and began to seriously consider how to make initial contact with him, another sudden accident once again pushed Ye Qiu into the focus of his attention.
This morning, the weather was a little gloomy with sporadic drizzle in the air.
A small landing craft belonging to the Taotie Vanguard Reconnaissance Force was carefully conducting a secret reconnaissance flight in a low-altitude area on the outskirts of Juxia City.
This landing craft is not large, only about the size of a medium-sized truck. It has a dark metallic color and its appearance is full of a sci-fi feel that is not from Earth civilization.
It uses advanced stealth technology and anti-gravity engines to try to avoid radar detection by the Earth’s military and collect as much information as possible about ground targets.
However, just as the Taotie landing craft flew over an abandoned old factory and was about to scan the interior of the factory, an accident occurred.
The landing craft’s engine system suddenly made an abnormal “clicking” noise, and then a faint black smoke came out of the engine’s exhaust port.
The Taotie soldier in the cockpit (if it had one, or was controlled by AI) apparently also noticed something was wrong and tried to make emergency repairs or adjust its flight attitude.
But it was too late. The engine power was dropping rapidly, and the landing craft began to shake violently and lost its balance. Like a giant drunk metal mosquito, it staggered and plunged headfirst into the abandoned factory area below!
“Boom——!”
A dull thud was heard.
The landing craft crashed into an open area at the factory, kicking up a large cloud of dust and debris.
Although there was no violent explosion, the hull of the landing craft was severely deformed due to the violent impact, and some parts were scattered everywhere.
Naturally, this plane crash was captured by the Earth’s military monitoring system at the first moment.
The military quickly dispatched rapid reaction forces and special operations teams, rushed to the crash site as quickly as possible, blocked the entire abandoned factory area, and began searching and recovering the wreckage of the crashed Taotie landing craft.
For a moment, sirens blared around the abandoned factory, military vehicles shuttled back and forth, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
The instigator of all this, or the driving force behind this “accident”, is our protagonist – Ye Qiu.
About ten minutes before the Taotie landing craft crashed, Ye Qiu was driving his Land Rover Range Rover “leisurely” on a country road not far from the abandoned factory.
He had just come out of a farmhouse with an excellent reputation, where he had enjoyed a sumptuous meal of firewood chicken and farm stir-fries. His stomach was full of high-calorie food, and he was in a comfortable state of being well-fed and drowsy.
However, at this moment, an annoying, low and continuous “buzzing” sound came from above his head.
The sound was not loud, but it kept lingering in his ears like a fly, disturbing his peaceful mood after enjoying the digestion of delicious food.
Ye Qiu frowned impatiently and looked in the direction of the sound.
He had good eyesight and spotted the peculiarly shaped metal aircraft hovering at low altitude at a glance.
“It’s those annoying, greedy flies again.”
Ye Qiu curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy.
He had recently seen some reports about the frequent appearance of UFOs in the news and on the Internet, and knew that these were scouts of Taotie.
He didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but the buzzing sound was so loud that it gave him a headache.
Moreover, he suddenly thought that it might be quite interesting to take a close look at the wreckage of these alien spacecraft and study their structure and materials.
Then, an idea flashed through his mind.
“System,” he muttered to himself, “consume 0.3 kilograms of fat and inflict a ‘minor engine system malfunction’ bad luck effect on that buzzing tin can in the sky.
Let it be quiet for a while, it would be better if it falls down so I can see the fun.”
0.3 kilograms of fat is just a drop in the bucket and insignificant compared to Ye Qiu’s current reserves.
He gave the order without even thinking about it.
As the fat was consumed, a faint wave of bad luck quietly enveloped the Taotie landing craft that was conducting low-altitude reconnaissance.
Then, what we saw before happened – engine failure and loss of control crash.
Ye Qiu didn’t know that this little bad luck he casually brought on because he “disliked the noise” actually caused an alien spaceship to fall.
He just saw the aircraft staggering and falling towards the abandoned factory not far away, and then heard a loud bang, and his heart was immediately filled with joy.
“Hey, it really fell down! It seems that my bad luck halo is also effective against these alien iron lumps!” Ye Qiu thought proudly.
Then, a new idea came to him: “Since it has already fallen, wouldn’t it be a shame not to go and see the excitement? Maybe I can pick up some alien souvenirs.”
However, he also knew that in the event of an alien spacecraft crash, the military would definitely arrive immediately and seal off the scene.
It was not easy for him, an ordinary citizen, to sneak in and watch the fun.
Just when he was feeling a little worried about this, the system’s prompt sounded in his mind again:
“If the host is detected to have the intention to ‘closely observe a specific event’, the system can provide the ‘specific coincidence’ auxiliary function.
Is it to consume 1 kg of fat and create the coincidence of ‘accidentally passing by and discovering the best place to watch the fun’?
“Oh? There is such a good thing?” Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up.
1 kilogram of fat, in exchange for a best position to watch the fun, and by the way, he can also test the effectiveness of the system’s “creating coincidences” function. In his opinion, this deal is simply too good to be true!
“Consume! Consume immediately!” Ye Qiu confirmed without hesitation.
As 1 kilogram of fat was consumed, Ye Qiu felt that there seemed to be some vague guidance information in his mind, as if someone was whispering in his ear, telling him which direction to go and which intersection to turn at.
He subconsciously followed these “instructions” and drove around on some remote roads.
Soon, he found himself on a hillside with a high terrain and a wide view, which happened to overlook the entire abandoned factory area.
This location is very hidden, surrounded by dense bushes and weeds. Moreover, from here, you can see some weak links in the military blockade line and the rotation pattern of patrol sentries.
“This system is awesome!” Ye Qiu exclaimed in his heart.
This “best place to watch the fun” really lives up to its reputation!
He parked the car behind a bush where it was not easy to be discovered, then turned off the engine, picked up the telescope, and observed the situation in the abandoned factory below with great interest.
He saw that a large number of military vehicles and soldiers in combat uniforms had surrounded the entire factory and set up a yellow cordon.
Some soldiers were patrolling outside the factory, with serious expressions and armed with live ammunition.
There were also some people wearing white protective suits, who looked like scientific researchers or technicians, who were cautiously approaching the wreckage of the crashed Taotie landing craft, seemingly preparing for investigation and recovery.
“The security is quite tight.”
Ye Qiu touched his chin, his eyes flashing with eagerness.
Although the view from this hillside is good, it is still a bit far and the view is not clear enough.
He still wanted to observe the wreckage of the alien spacecraft at a closer distance, and it would be best if he could touch it with his own hands and feel the texture of alien technology.
“Since the system has found such a good ‘back door’ for me, wouldn’t it be a waste of the system’s kindness if I don’t go in for a walk?” Ye Qiu’s love for adventure and fun came back.
He glanced at his body, which looked a little bloated and fat due to long-term “overnutrition”, and then looked at the military soldiers below who looked well-trained and highly vigilant, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“It’s just a few blockades and patrols. Watch how I, ‘Nimble Fatty,’ maneuver!”
He put away the telescope, took a deep breath, stretched his arms and legs, and then quietly, like a fat cat ready to hunt, he sneaked towards the tightly sealed abandoned factory area at the foot of the hillside.
He did not realize that his every move at this moment was being transmitted clearly, frame by frame, and in real time to the eyes of General Dukao who was far away in the command center of the secret base through the lens of a military high-magnification reconnaissance drone hovering at high altitude.
General Dukao, Lianfeng, and several core staff members were closely monitoring the handling of the Taotie landing craft crash site in front of the giant holographic projection screen in the command center.
They were also somewhat surprised and puzzled about the Taotie spacecraft that suddenly lost control and crashed.
Although the military has been working hard to improve its air defense capabilities, they still find it a bit strange that a Taotie landing craft could crash so easily without any record of an exchange of fire.
Just as they were analyzing various possibilities, Lianfeng suddenly pointed to a corner of the screen, where a surveillance image was being transmitted from a high-altitude drone, and said, “General, look, there seems to be something unusual going on in that area!”
Dukao looked in the direction she pointed, and saw an extremely fat figure sneaking out of a Land Rover parked in the bushes on a hillside outside the abandoned factory, and then began to sneak towards the periphery of the blockade area.
“Is it him? Ye Qiu?!” Dukao recognized the familiar figure at a glance.
How did he end up here?
Chapter 35: Miraculous Self-Healing! Yuqin’s Medical Perspective Completely Collapses! (Old Version)
And judging from his appearance, he seemed to want to… break into the blockade area?
Dukao’s brows immediately frowned.
He knew that Ye Qiu possessed some strange abilities, but sneaking into a military blockade was no joke! If discovered by patrolling soldiers, a conflict might easily ensue, or even an accidental discharge of gunfire!
“Notify the on-site commander immediately and ask them to pay attention to that direction and strengthen vigilance! If any suspicious persons are found, try to drive them away without causing direct conflict!” Dukao gave the order immediately.
However, what happened next left this battle-hardened general stunned and even doubting his own eyes.
The fat man Ye Qiu on the screen suddenly changed his behavior pattern after entering the bushes at the foot of the hill!
His huge and slightly clumsy body now displayed incredible agility and flexibility that was completely inconsistent with his size!
Sometimes he would move silently among the dense grass and tree shadows like a civet cat, his footsteps so light that almost no sound could be heard.
Sometimes it is like a slippery loach, always able to make good use of various terrain features – a protruding rock, a low slope, or even a dense shadow – to perfectly hide its body.
The military set up multiple visible and covert sentries on the periphery, as well as several patrol teams of three people, patrolling back and forth on different routes.
These soldiers have undergone rigorous training and are very vigilant.
Logically speaking, it would be extremely difficult for a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds, even for a wild cat, to sneak in without alerting them.
However, Ye Qiu did it! Moreover, he did it so effortlessly, so effortlessly!
He could always predict the patrol’s arrival at a certain location a second before it happened, and then calmly find a perfect hiding place.
He would always be able to pass through the area quickly like a ghost in the moment when the sights of two sentries intersected, forming a brief blind spot.
There was even one time when a patrol team passed by the pit where he was hiding less than five meters away. He calmly took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, without any sign of nervousness on his face.
Through the God’s-eye view of the high-altitude drone’s surveillance footage, Dukao and everyone in the command center clearly saw Ye Qiu’s series of incredible stealth performances.
They saw that Ye Qiu was like a nimble, fat ghost taking a walk in his own back garden, moving freely and easily in the heavily guarded and dangerous military blockade area.
He easily avoided one blockade after another and dodged one group of patrol sentries after another without attracting anyone’s attention.
Finally, without anyone noticing, he swaggered in and approached the wreckage of the crashed Taotie landing craft as if he were in an empty space!
He even walked around the pile of twisted and deformed metal garbage with interest for a few times, kicking it from time to time, or bending down to pick up a piece of spacecraft debris that looked more peculiar, weighing it in his hand a few times, and observing it carefully, as if he was visiting an open-air scrap recycling station rather than an alien spacecraft crash site full of unknown dangers.
“This…how is this possible?!” In the command center, a young staff officer in charge of on-site coordination couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
The other staff officers and technicians also opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
They couldn’t understand how such an obese person could do all this? This completely went against their understanding of human kinesiology and stealth techniques!
General Dukao did not speak, but his pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented light.
He stared intently at the fat man on the screen who was “commenting” on the wreckage of the alien spacecraft, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart!
This scene completely dispelled the last trace of doubt and hesitation in Dukao’s heart!
This fat man was definitely not simple! The secrets hidden in him were far more numerous and more important than they had previously estimated!
Not only does he possess some strange “bad luck” abilities and superb self-healing abilities, he also possesses top-notch stealth and evasion skills that are completely inconsistent with his size! These skills are even better than those of the most elite special forces under his command!
A person with so many contradictions and mysterious qualities, if we cannot control him, or at least figure out his background, it will be a huge potential variable for the Super Seminary and the future of the entire earth!
“We can’t wait any longer! We can’t rely on this kind of superficial peripheral investigation!” Dukao acted decisively and made a major decision in his heart.
He had to personally meet this mysterious Ye Qiu! He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of person this fat man was! He had to personally explore how many unknown secrets he still hid!
More importantly, he wanted to try to recruit this “freak” full of unknowns and possibilities into the Super Seminary!
Regardless of whether Ye Qiu is good or evil, a friend or an enemy, Dukao believes that with his experience and means, as long as he can have face-to-face contact, he will be able to dig out what he wants from Ye Qiu.
“Lianfeng!” Dukao turned abruptly, looking at his right-hand man with a piercing gaze, and said decisively, “Immediately locate Ye Qiu’s current location and where he might go next! I want to meet him in person!”
Once General Ducaault makes up his mind, he is extremely efficient in action.
Through the military’s powerful intelligence system and previous analysis of Ye Qiu’s behavior patterns, Lian Feng quickly identified several locations that Ye Qiu was most likely to go to after leaving the abandoned factory area.
Among them, a high-end buffet restaurant located in the city center, which Ye Qiu often visited, was listed as the preferred “contact location”.
This buffet restaurant is famous for its fresh ingredients, rich variety, elegant environment and, of course, high prices.
Ye Qiu comes here to “check in” two or three times almost every week, and each time he spends most of the afternoon here, enjoying all kinds of delicious food.
Chapter 36: Miraculous Self-Healing! Yuqin’s Medical Perspective Completely Collapses! (Old Version)
General Dukao believed that in such a relatively relaxed and open environment, having the first formal contact with Ye Qiu in an “unexpected encounter” way might reduce the other party’s vigilance and make it easier to communicate effectively.
So, on a sunny afternoon, General Dukao changed into low-key casual clothes and drove to the high-end buffet restaurant called “Global Feast” with only two guards who were also in plain clothes but had solemn expressions and a calm aura.
When General Dukao walked into the restaurant and glanced around the spacious and bright dining area, he almost immediately found his target – Ye Qiu.
At this moment, Ye Qiu was sitting at a four-person dining table near the floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view.
The dining table, which was originally large enough for four people, was now almost piled high with all kinds of food by him alone!
Sizzling Brazilian barbecue, mountains of Alaskan snow crab legs, colorful and exquisitely shaped Japanese sushi and sashimi, steaming Cantonese steamed pastries, and pizza, pasta, and salads of various flavors… Of course, there is also a wide variety of desserts and ice cream that exude an enticing sweet aroma.
Ye Qiu himself, like a Maitreya Buddha, sat steadily at the main seat at the dining table, with a fragrant roasted chicken leg in his left hand and a fork of tender and juicy steak in his right hand. He was eating with great pleasure.
In front of him, there was a huge pile of empty plates. It seemed that he had already carried out at least three or four rounds of “sweeping”, and he had no intention of stopping.
Although his eating movements were not elegant and he even looked like he was wolfing down the food, his concentration and enjoyment were unconcerned with the surroundings.
It seemed as if the whole world was not as important to him as the delicacies in front of him.
General Dukao signaled the two guards to wait in an inconspicuous place near the restaurant entrance and not to follow him, so as not to arouse Ye Qiu’s unnecessary vigilance.
Then, he walked alone with steady steps, passing through the diners who were chatting in low voices and dining elegantly, and went straight to Ye Qiu’s table.
He pulled out an empty chair opposite Ye Qiu, making a slight noise while successfully attracting Ye Qiu’s attention.
General Dukao sat down leisurely, his eyes calm and deep as he looked at the fat man in front of him who ate in an unrestrained manner and seemed somewhat out of place in the surrounding environment.
Ye Qiu did not seem to be too surprised or shocked by General Dukao’s sudden arrival.
He just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the uninvited guest when Dukao pulled out a chair and sat down.
That look was like looking at a stranger who accidentally broke into his territory, with a hint of scrutiny, a hint of indifference, and a barely perceptible… amusement.
Then, he withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, lowered his head, and continued to concentrate on dealing with the roasted lamb leg on his plate, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and had a fragrant aroma.
He skillfully cut the lamb leg into small pieces with a knife and fork, then picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with satisfaction, as if the person sitting opposite him was just an insignificant person.
This almost rude neglect did not make General Ducao feel angry or unhappy at all.
He had spent his entire military career, what kind of grand occasion had he not witnessed? What kind of unruly characters had he not encountered? In his eyes, Ye Qiu’s small display of power was nothing more than a childish act, like playing house.
He just sat there quietly, waiting patiently.
He knew that for people with Ye Qiu’s personality, sometimes silence and waiting were more powerful than any aggressive words.
Sure enough, after General Dukao watched silently for about a minute and Ye Qiu contentedly ate up most of the roasted leg of lamb, this “gourmet” finally seemed to be a little tired of eating, or in other words, he was finally willing to pay some attention to the “air man” opposite.
Ye Qiu put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up the napkin, and slowly wiped his mouth, which was shiny with grease.
Then he picked up the glass of iced lemonade beside him, took a big sip, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
After doing all this, he finally raised his head and looked directly at General Dukao who was sitting opposite him.
“What’s the matter?” Ye Qiu’s tone was flat, without any emotional fluctuations, as casual as asking a passerby “What time is it now?”
General Dukao’s gaze remained calm, but a subtle sharpness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He spoke in a low voice, but it carried the unquestionable majesty and decisiveness that only a soldier possesses:
“Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu.
I am Dukao, from a special secret unit that you may not have heard of, but is vital to the future of this country and even the entire planet.”
He did not beat around the bush or engage in any unnecessary pleasantries. As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly stated his identity (although it was vague) and the purpose of his visit.
“We have been paying attention to you for a long time.”
General Dukao’s eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed on Ye Qiu’s face, as if he wanted to find some clues from his fat face. “You have some unique qualities that we are very interested in.”
He paused, as if giving Ye Qiu time to digest the information, and then continued: “I am here today to formally invite you to join the ‘Super Seminary’ on behalf of my unit.
There, you will be under our protection, and we will also conduct further, in-depth research on your special abilities.”
The four words “Super Seminary”, spoken by General Dukao, carried an inexplicable weight and mystery.
The words “protection” and “research” are full of implications and irresistible meanings.
General Ducao believed that faced with the formal call-up from a mysterious organization representing the highest power of the country, and the chilling word “research”, any normal person, or one who “knows the times”, would not and dared not easily refuse.
He waited quietly for Ye Qiu’s reaction, prepared to deal with various possible situations, including resistance, questioning, and even fierce resistance.
However, Ye Qiu’s next reaction once again surprised him.
Chapter 37: Miraculous Self-Healing! Yuqin’s Medical Perspective Completely Collapses! (Old Version)
After hearing General Dukao’s straightforward and even threatening “invitation”, Ye Qiu’s face did not show any of the expressions Dukao had expected – no shock, no panic, no anger, not even the slightest surprise.
He just listened quietly, and in those eyes that were squeezed a little small by the fat, there flashed a hint of understanding and a hint of…as expected, amusement.
It seemed as if he had already anticipated that such a day would come, and had also anticipated that a figure like Dukao would come to him in person.
After General Dukao said “accept our protection and further research”, Ye Qiu even nodded slightly, as if agreeing with what he said.
Then, he slowly reached out and picked up a garlic crab that looked grilled to perfection from the pile of food next to him and placed it on the empty plate in front of him.
He picked up the small hammer and pliers specially used for eating crabs, and began to slowly and calmly crack open the crab shell and pick out the tender and plump crab meat inside.
His movements were so focused and oblivious to the surroundings, as if the crab in front of him was much more important than what General Ducao had just said.
General Dukao’s brow furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.
He didn’t like the feeling of being ignored, especially after he had already stated his identity and purpose.
But he remained patient and did not urge her.
After a long while, Ye Qiu finally picked out the most essential crab roe and crab meat from the king crab and piled them on a small plate.
He wiped his hands with a napkin, then picked up the small plate, poured the crab meat into his mouth in one gulp, and chewed it with satisfaction.
Not until he had completely swallowed the delicious food in his mouth did he seem to remember that there was someone sitting opposite him. He raised his head and looked at General Dukao with a strange smile on his face.
“Join the Super Seminary?” Ye Qiu repeated the name with a hint of amusement in his tone, “Sounds like it’s quite interesting.”
He paused, then changed the subject and said slowly, “Sure.
However, I am a person who is afraid of trouble and is more practical.
If you want me to join your Super Seminary, that’s fine, but I have a few conditions.”
“Conditions?” This time, General Dukao’s brows really raised slightly.
He didn’t expect that after hearing his “invitation”, the fat man not only did not show any fear or obedience, but dared to negotiate with him?
This either means that the fat man is really fearless, or he has no idea what kind of behemoth he is facing.
“you say.”
General Dukao’s tone remained calm, but there was a hint of scrutiny and coldness in his eyes.
He wanted to hear what kind of bizarre conditions this fat man who didn’t know his place could come up with.
Ye Qiu seemed completely unaware of the change in General Dukao’s tone. He stretched out his fat fingers, which looked a little greasy from holding food for so long, and began to count his conditions one by one, slowly and methodically:
“First,” he said word by word, raising his index finger, “I need absolute, 100% personal freedom.
You cannot interfere with my personal lifestyle for any reason.
I can eat whenever I want, sleep whenever I want, and you must provide me with whatever I want to eat.
I cannot be forced to do anything I don’t want to do, including but not limited to waking up early, attending meetings, writing reports, and any other form of physical or mental labor.”
When General Dukao heard the first condition, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
This is not like joining a confidential unit, this is clearly like inviting an ancestor back to worship!
Ye Qiu didn’t seem to notice General Dukao’s slightly stiff expression and continued to extend his second finger:
“Second, you must provide top-notch accommodations, like those in a five-star hotel presidential suite.
I want a separate room that is spacious enough, luxuriously decorated, and has a separate kitchen and a large bathroom.
The room must be equipped with the latest entertainment facilities, such as large-screen TV, top-notch audio equipment, game consoles, etc.
As for the food standards…”
He glanced at the table in front of him piled high with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, smacked his lips, and said, “Let’s follow the standards of the buffet restaurant I eat at now. Three meals a day, plus afternoon tea and midnight snacks. The ingredients must be fresh, the variety must be rich, and the taste must be diverse.
If I suddenly want to eat something else, such as a signature dish from a Michelin restaurant or a snack unique to a certain country, you must find a way to get it for me in the shortest time possible.
Oh, and I also need a dedicated team of chefs on call 24 hours a day to satisfy my cravings at any time.”
General Dukao’s face had begun to turn dark.
He felt that he was not recruiting a “talent” with special abilities, but negotiating with a scoundrel who was extorting money.
Ye Qiu seemed to be completely immersed in his own beautiful fantasy, and stretched out a third finger:
“The third and most important point.
I do not participate in any form of so-called ‘training’ or ‘learning’ in your Super Seminary.
I have no interest in fighting or researching advanced technology.
I will not participate in any so-called ‘dangerous missions’ or ‘actual combat exercises’ that may endanger my precious life.”
“My position in the Super Seminary is very simple.”
Ye Qiu pointed at his round belly with his fat finger, and a simple smile appeared on his face. “I am only responsible for eating well, drinking well, sleeping well, and taking good care of this precious fat of mine.
You can think of me as a… well, a living ‘energy reserve tank’, or a… mascot.
Normally, you should provide me with good food and drink, and don’t disturb my peace.
If, and I mean if, the Earth’s survival is really at stake, and all of you can’t hold on any longer and need my help, I might consider using my little ability a little, provided I ensure my own absolute safety and have enough “rewards.”
Chapter 38 Fatal Injury? Fat Master, I’ll Grow You Back in Minutes! (Old Version)
“Of course, the number of times this kind of ‘help’ can be provided is limited, and the ‘appearance fee’ for each occasion needs to be negotiated separately.
As for the specific price, it will depend on my mood and your sincerity.”
After explaining these three outrageous conditions, Ye Qiu licked his lips with a hint of satisfaction, as if he felt he hadn’t explained them clearly enough. He added, “Oh, by the way, all of the above conditions must be written down in black and white in the contract and notarized at the highest level in the country to be legally binding.
If you breach this agreement at any time, I reserve the right to quit at any time and demand huge compensation for emotional damages.”
When Ye Qiu finally finished slowly and clearly stating his series of “absurd” conditions, the entire buffet restaurant seemed to fall into an eerie silence.
General Dukao sat opposite Ye Qiu, and the expression on his face could no longer be described as simply “dark”.
Veins bulged faintly on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with incredible anger and a hint of…laughable absurdity.
He had roamed the battlefields of the universe for thousands of years. What kind of characters had he not seen? Some were greedy, some were cunning, some were arrogant, and some were foolish.
However, when an institution representing the highest power of the country issued a formal and even coercive “recruitment” and “research” invitation to him, Ye Qiu not only did not show the slightest awe or cooperation, but instead dared to make such an outrageous and ridiculous request. This was really… the first time he had encountered such a person in his life!
How could these conditions be considered a negotiation for joining? This was clearly blatant extortion! Furthermore, the target of the extortion was Dukao, the entire Super Seminary, and the future defense force of Earth!
If General Dukao had not heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that there were people in this world who were so shameless, so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and who put their personal enjoyment above the safety of the country and the survival of mankind!
The conditions he proposed—absolute personal freedom, top-notch food and lodging, no training, no dangerous missions, just a mascot—how could this be the talk of a “super soldier” about to join a national defense organization, shouldering the responsibility of saving the world? This was clearly the talk of a lazy, cowardly, and scoundrel looking to take advantage of the situation!
General Dukao felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger at this fat man! He even had an urge to immediately order the guards waiting outside to rush in, arrest this fat man who didn’t know how to live or die, and then throw him into the military prison to let him have a good taste of the “iron fist of the proletariat”!
However, reason ultimately triumphed over impulse.
General Dukao took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger that was about to burst out of his heart.
He knew that Ye Qiu dared to propose these conditions, either because he was really stupid to the extreme, or because he was really confident and had a trump card that forced them to seriously consider these conditions.
Judging from the various strange abilities Ye Qiu had demonstrated before, the latter possibility was obviously greater.
“Mr. Ye Qiu,” General Dukao’s voice was a little low and hoarse because he was trying hard to suppress his anger, “the conditions you proposed, with all due respect, are really… somewhat unrealistic.
It can even be said to be absurd.”
“The Super Seminary is not the resort you imagined, nor is it a tool to satisfy your personal desires.
We shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the Earth and resisting alien invasion.
Everyone who joins the Super Seminary must be prepared to sacrifice everything, including personal freedom and even life! “
“Those things you mentioned—the so-called ‘personal freedom,’ ‘premium food and accommodation,’ ‘not participating in training and dangerous missions,’—all seem so insignificant and so… ridiculous when faced with the survival of our country and our nation!”
General Ducao’s tone was filled with disappointment and a hint of barely perceptible contempt.
He originally thought that although Ye Qiu’s behavior was strange, he should at least be a sensible and reasonable person.
But I didn’t expect that he would be so selfish and short-sighted.
However, facing General Dukao’s righteous words, which even carried a hint of rebuke, Ye Qiu remained calm and unmoved.
He picked up the napkin on the table, wiped the non-existent oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and then said slowly: “General Du, I understand all the great principles you are talking about.
Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country; every man must sacrifice his life for righteousness.
These slogans can be shouted or listened to.
But if I really have to sacrifice my real and happy life for these illusory things, then I can only say, sorry, I can’t do it.”
“In my opinion,” Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed with a cunning and insight that was inconsistent with his fat appearance, “In this world, nothing is more important than my own life and my own enjoyment.
If you lose your life or live like an ascetic, what’s the point of saving the world?”
“So, these are my conditions.
Not a single line can be missing, not a single word can be changed.”
He spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face, “If General Du finds this unacceptable, then our conversation can end here.
As for me, I will continue to enjoy my food, and you, please continue to be busy with your mission of “saving the world”.
We can each keep our distance and go our separate ways, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”
After saying that, he even picked up a piece of tiramisu cake next to him, scooped out a piece with a small spoon, and put it into his mouth, with an intoxicated expression on his face, as if he didn’t care about General Dukao’s anger and disappointment at all.
After listening to Ye Qiu’s series of bizarre conditions that could be called “unequal treaties”, General Dukao’s brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a “川” character.
His face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and his eyes were filled with incredible anger and a deep sense of powerlessness.
He has lived for so many years, commanded thousands of troops, and dealt with countless cunning enemies and unruly subordinates, but he has never met someone like Ye Qiu who dared to make such a ridiculous request in front of him so blatantly and confidently!
Chapter 39: This recovery ability, even the Shenhe gene has to kneel! (Old version)
“Absolute personal freedom, no interference in living habits, no forcing to do anything you don’t want to do?”
“Top-notch accommodations, private rooms, food standards no less than a five-star buffet, and a team of chefs on call 24 hours a day?”
“Not participating in any form of training, not taking part in any dangerous missions, just eating and drinking well and being a mascot?”
“Does helping others also depend on appearance fees, mood, and sincerity?”
“All conditions must be written into the contract and notarized by the state, and will there be huge compensation for breach of contract?”
Each of these conditions was like a loud slap in the face of General Dukao and the sacred and solemn mission of the Super Seminary!
What is the Super Seminary? It’s a secret training ground for super warriors, established with the full efforts of the nation to prepare for the impending Taotie invasion and protect the flame of Earth’s civilization! It’s the core of Earth’s future defense against alien invasion!
Everyone selected to enter the Super Seminary shoulders a heavy responsibility and mission! They are expected to sacrifice their own interests for the greater good, and to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the survival of their country and nation.
Militarized management, rigorous training, unconditional obedience, and the awareness of being ready to sacrifice one’s life for the country at any time—these are the basic qualities and code of conduct that students at the Super Seminary should possess!
The conditions proposed by Ye Qiu are simply a blatant trampling and blasphemy against the spirit of the Super Seminary!
In particular, the two clauses “not participating in dangerous missions” and “absolute personal freedom” almost completely violate the original intention of the establishment of the Super Seminary and the fundamental principles of militarized management.
If he really agreed to these conditions, wouldn’t the Super Seminary become Ye Qiu’s luxury resort and free meal ticket? How could he defend his country and resist invasion?
General Dukao could even imagine that if he really recruited Ye Qiu into the academy with such “emperor” treatment, once the news spread, it would have a terrible impact and blow on other super soldiers who were training hard and silently dedicating themselves to defending their homeland!
The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, churning in his chest.
Several times, he almost couldn’t help but slam the table, point at Ye Qiu’s nose and scold him, and then directly order the arrest of this ignorant fat man to wake him up!
However, whenever he saw Ye Qiu’s fat face, with its calm, fearless, and even playful expression, the anger in his heart would be forcibly suppressed by an inexplicable fear and helplessness.
Reason told him not to act impulsively.
The mysterious energy in Ye Qiu that cannot be analyzed by existing technology, the “bad luck” ability he displays that affects probability in a small range, the strange means of interfering with electronic equipment, the incredible rapid self-healing ability, and the top-level stealth skills that are completely inconsistent with his huge body… All of this shows that this fat man is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated.
He is like a “Pandora’s Box” full of unknowns and uncertainties. You don’t know what unpredictable consequences will be caused if you touch it easily.
If they forcibly arrested him or tried to force him to submit by force, and if they angered him and made him unleash something even more terrifying that they were currently unable to deal with, the damage and trouble caused would probably be much greater than agreeing to his ridiculous conditions.
Moreover, General Dukao was indeed extremely curious and had a hint of…expectation about the mysterious power in Ye Qiu.
If Ye Qiu could be brought into the Super Seminary “peacefully” in some way, even at a cost, as long as his abilities could be continuously observed and studied, or even ways could be found to guide him for their own benefit, it would be a huge gain for both the Super Seminary and the future of the Earth.
After all, in the upcoming brutal war, any bit of power that can increase the chances of victory is invaluable.
General Ducao was engaged in a fierce struggle within his heart between anger, reason, fear, curiosity, and deep worry about the future.
He was silent for a long time, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, his eyes filled with complex light.
Ye Qiu did not urge him, but just sat there leisurely, slowly savoring the tiramisu cake in front of him, as if he was completely unaware of the low pressure emanating from General Dukao that was almost condensed into substance.
Finally, after a long and difficult weighing of the pros and cons, General Dukao seemed to have made some kind of decision and slowly exhaled a breath.
He raised his head again and looked at Ye Qiu. The anger in his eyes had subsided a lot, replaced by a deep calmness with a bit of helplessness and compromise.
“Mr. Ye Qiu,” General Dukao’s voice was still low, but it lacked some of the previous majesty and oppression, and had a subtle weariness, “The conditions you proposed are indeed… very special.
It really makes things difficult for us.”
He paused, as if trying to formulate his words, and then continued, “However, considering some of your… well, some qualities that we are very interested in and believe may be of great value in the future, I, Dukao, can, on behalf of the Super Seminary, temporarily, and I mean temporarily, agree to most of your requests. Please note, most of them are ‘unreasonable’.”
Hearing the words “temporarily” and “mostly”, Ye Qiu’s hand, which was about to take a piece of Black Forest cake, paused slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He knew that the other party would not accept all of his “unfair terms” completely and unconditionally.
General Dukao didn’t seem to notice Ye Qiu’s subtle change in expression and continued, “We can try our best to meet your requests regarding personal freedom, accommodation standards, and not participating in regular training.
The college will provide you with independent living and dining conditions that meet your requirements.
As long as it does not affect the overall discipline and safety of the college, we will not interfere too much in your personal life.”
“But,” Dukao’s tone was a little more serious, “there are two points you must accept. There is no room for negotiation.”
“First, you must cooperate with us and conduct some necessary, harmless physical data monitoring and ability assessments.
Chapter 40 Dukao: This fat man must be sliced and studied! (Old version)
We need to understand your basic physical condition, as well as the specific manifestations, scope of application, consumption, etc. of your special abilities.
These data are very important to us.”
“Second, although you will not participate in regular training and dangerous missions, you will join the Super Seminary as a ‘special observation subject’.
This means that you need to operate within the safe range we designate, and in certain circumstances, you may be required to cooperate with us in some… well, some controlled, non-confrontational capability demonstrations or tests.”
“As for the issues you mentioned about ‘helping’ at a critical moment and ‘appearance fees’, we can leave it for later and discuss it based on the specific circumstances.
But the prerequisite is that you must first prove that you are indeed valuable enough for us to pay such a high price to ‘hire’ you.”
After General Dukao finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qiu intently, waiting for his reply.
His words can be said to be a huge concession and compromise.
He almost pinched his nose and agreed to most of Ye Qiu’s requests, which he thought were ridiculous, and only retained the two bottom lines of “conducting monitoring and evaluation” and “being a special observation subject.”
He believed that if Ye Qiu still had a bit of rationality, or in other words, still wanted to continue to enjoy himself peacefully in this world that was about to fall into chaos, he should understand that this was the greatest sincerity and tolerance that the Super Seminary could give.
After hearing what General Dukao said, Ye Qiu showed a meaningful smile on his face.
He knew that he had basically won this “negotiation”.
Although the other party also proposed some additional conditions, “harmless body data monitoring and ability assessment” and “being a special observation subject” did not sound like something difficult to accept.
As long as it doesn’t affect his eating, drinking, and having fun, and doesn’t let him go to his death, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal if he cooperates occasionally and shows some “little talents”.
Moreover, it was quite interesting for him to be able to enter the Super Seminary, the future “center of the storm”, and observe up close how those legendary superheroes grew and fought.
Who knows, you might even learn something from it, or, at a critical moment, use your understanding of the plot to gain some unexpected benefits.
“make a deal.”
Ye Qiu grinned, with a hint of pride and cunning in his smile.
He reached out and steadily took the piece of Black Forest cake that he had been coveting for a long time in front of him, then scooped out a large piece with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth with satisfaction.
The rich sweet aroma of chocolate and cream instantly filled his mouth, making him feel relaxed all over.
General Dukao looked at Ye Qiu, who was eating with a smile on his face, as if he had gotten a huge bargain. Although he still felt a little depressed and unhappy, he could only shake his head helplessly.
At this point, he can only hope that this mysterious and peculiar fat man can truly demonstrate value in the future that matches the “privileges” he has obtained, or even exceeds expectations.
Otherwise, Dukao would have really become the biggest “sucker” in the history of the Super Seminary.
Just like that, after a “negotiation” full of absurdity and compromise, Ye Qiu officially “joined” the Super Seminary as an unprecedented “special observation subject”.
A few days later, a black military off-road vehicle with a special license plate stopped on time downstairs of the high-end apartment building where Ye Qiu rented.
Two serious-looking and highly skilled officers sent by General Dukao personally “invited” Ye Qiu to get in the car politely but with a hint of unquestionable attitude.
Ye Qiu was single, so he simply packed a few changes of clothes (in fact, he was more concerned about whether he could take his precious snacks with him. After getting a positive answer, he got into the car contentedly). Then, under the “escort” of the two officers, he went to the suburbs of Juxia City, an extremely secret place that could not be found on the map at all – the early base of the Super Seminary.
According to Ye Qiu’s memory and inference, this base should be a temporary transition facility used by the Super Seminary to recruit, screen and conduct basic training for early students before the famous “Grand Canyon” aircraft carrier base is officially established and put into use in the future.
Although it is a temporary base, its security is no less strict than any formal military fortress.
When Ye Qiu’s special car passed at least three checkpoints that required special passwords and identity verification, and passed through a forest that looked ordinary but was actually full of various hidden surveillance and defense facilities, it finally arrived at the core area of the base.
Rather than being an “academy”, this place is more like a military training camp filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Everywhere you can see soldiers wearing uniform military uniforms, with serious expressions and brisk steps.
Some of them are conducting daily patrols and guards, some are maintaining various weapons and equipment that look full of high-tech, and some are sweating profusely on the training ground, conducting various high-intensity physical and combat training.
The air was filled with an atmosphere of iron, discipline and tension.
Everyone’s face was filled with solemnity and determination before the battle.
And when Ye Qiu, this obese and bloated “monster” who was almost twice the size of a normal person, dressed in a brand-name casual sports suit that didn’t fit in with the surroundings (it was bright yellow, making it particularly conspicuous), with a fruit-flavored lollipop in his mouth and an oversized shopping bag filled with various potato chips and chocolates in his hand, he “moved” down from the majestic military off-road vehicle with some effort, looking around in a nonchalant manner, as if he was on a spring outing or a picnic—
That strong, indescribable feeling of “out of place” instantly reached its peak!
He was like a drop of bright yellow cooking oil with a sweet smell, suddenly dripping into a cup of pure water with a hint of bitterness.
It seems so abrupt, so glaring, so… inappropriate.
Almost the moment he appeared, the eyes of everyone around him were like iron filings attracted by a magnet, and all focused on him.
The soldiers who were on patrol stopped and looked up and down at the “strange fat man” who suddenly appeared with a mixture of curiosity, exploration, confusion, and even a hint of disbelief.
Chapter 41 Ye Qiu: Want to study me? First ask my fat if it agrees! (Old Version)
The students who were sweating profusely on the training ground (although Ye Qiu didn’t know who they were yet) also stopped what they were doing, turned their heads, and stared at this “uninvited guest” whose style was incompatible with theirs with the same surprised eyes.
Even some passers-by who looked like base officers or scientific researchers could not help but look at Ye Qiu a few more times, frowning slightly, as if wondering where this fat man came from and why he appeared in this heavily guarded military restricted area.
Ye Qiu could clearly feel countless gazes, like searchlights, shining on him.
There was curiosity, doubt, scrutiny, and vigilance in these eyes. He even caught a glimpse of undisguised…contempt and disdain in the eyes of some young soldiers.
After all, he looked fat and bloated, and it was obvious that he had lived a life of luxury and lacked exercise. This was totally out of tune with the Super Seminary, a place that respected strength and emphasized discipline and the spirit of sacrifice.
However, facing all these different looks, Ye Qiu acted as if he didn’t care at all, and one could even say… he enjoyed it?
He still held the lollipop in his mouth, with a lazy, harmless smile on his face. He followed the two officers who were responsible for picking him up with his unique, slightly clumsy but peculiarly rhythmic “fat man’s pace”. As he walked, he looked around with interest, sizing up the legendary “Super Seminary” base.
“Well, the environment is pretty good. The air is quite fresh, but there may be a lot of mosquitoes.”
“Oh? That training ground looks quite professional. I wonder how the food is?”
“Tsk tsk, these soldiers have really good figures, unlike me, who is just fat.”
While he was making all sorts of irrelevant comments in his mind, he would occasionally pull out a piece of chocolate or a bag of potato chips from his shopping bag, stuff them into his mouth, and chew with a “crunching” sound, completely ignoring the atmosphere around him that had become a little weird because of his presence.
The two officers who were in charge of picking him up looked at Ye Qiu’s nonchalant and heartless appearance, and they were also helpless and troubled.
They really couldn’t understand why General Dukao would specifically send them to pick up such a person… a funny guy who looked like he was here to cause trouble.
But military orders were as firm as a mountain, and they could only suppress their doubts and discomfort, bite the bullet, and take this “special observation subject” to his “specially approved” dormitory.
At this moment, the early base of the Super Seminary is in a tense and orderly start-up stage.
The first batch of potential owners of different types of super genes, who were screened and recruited by the military from all over the country and even the world through various secret channels, have just arrived at this base.
Most of them were just ordinary people living ordinary lives not long ago – some were ordinary college students, some were street thugs, some were unknown office workers, and some were even ordinary soldiers serving in the army.
Their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes because of the “super gene” that is dormant in their bodies, which they themselves are not even aware of.
They were told that they were the “chosen ones” selected from thousands of people, the hope for the future of the Earth, and that they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending their homeland and resisting alien invasion.
This sudden change of identity, and the enormous pressure and sense of mission that came with it, has left most of these young people in a state of confusion, bewilderment, excitement, fear, and a complex state of uncertainty about the future.
Before they could even fully adapt to the sudden change in their civilian status, they were thrown directly into extremely rigorous, even cruel, basic physical fitness and combat skills training.
“The Power of the Galaxy” Ge Xiaolun, who was an ordinary college student who was a bit honest and a bit loser-like not long ago, is now wearing a wet camouflage training uniform, carrying a heavy bag, and doing a weighted cross-country run on the muddy training ground, which he had never dared to think about before.
With every step he took, he felt as if his lungs were about to explode, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
But he still gritted his teeth and moved forward with difficulty with an unyielding tenacity.
Zhao Xin, the “No Star Sharp Knife”, the “quick gunner” who was once known for his speed and quite famous in street fights, is now practicing the most basic fighting moves – straight punch, swing punch, whip kick, and sweep kick – over and over again with a group of equally exhausted “rookies” under the scolding of the instructor.
Every movement is required to be performed to the highest standards and with the utmost force.
Sweat continued to flow down his forehead and cheeks, soaking his clothes, but he did not dare to relax at all.
Liu Chuang, the “God of War of No Star”, the “ruffian” who once dominated the streets, now put away all his arrogance and domineering behavior, and like an ordinary recruit, he clumsily learned how to hold the gun correctly, how to aim, and how to control his breathing at the shooting range.
Every time he pulled the trigger, the huge recoil of the gun would make his arm numb, but he didn’t dare to complain at all, because he knew that these might be the capital to save his life in the future.
There are others, such as Cheng Yaowen who possesses the “Power of Demacia”, Rena who possesses the “Sunlight” gene (although it has not yet fully awakened) (if she has also arrived secretly at this moment), and some super warriors whose names Ye Qiu cannot remember for the time being, but who will also become the backbone of the Xiongbinglian in the future.
They, the future guardians of the Earth, are now just a group of “newbies” who have just stepped into the threshold of transcendence.
Every day before dawn, the shrill wake-up call would wake them up from their sleep.
Then, there is high-intensity training that lasts all day with almost no chance to breathe.
In the early morning, they will do weighted cross-country and obstacle races that challenge their physical limits, with the aim of strengthening their physical fitness and willpower.
During the day, there are boring and arduous training in combat skills, shooting and use of various light and heavy weapons, squad tactical coordination drills, and survival skills learning in simulated various complex battlefield environments.
At night, after dragging their exhausted bodies back to the dormitory, they still had to continue studying various military theories, overviews of alien civilizations, principles of super genes, etc., and could not fall asleep until late at night.
Sweat is their unavoidable “companion” every day.
Injury is the most common “medal” on their training ground.
Fatigue is an indelible shadow in their lives.
Everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.
They know how heavy the responsibility is on their shoulders.
They also long to unleash the latent, legendary “super gene” power in their bodies as soon as possible to make themselves stronger, stronger, and stronger!
They long to become heroes who protect this blue planet one day in the future!
And all these hardships and trials, all this sweat and sacrifice, for Ye Qiu, who was being led by two officers to his “special dormitory”, seemed like a story happening in another parallel world.
He forms a stark contrast with these “heroic reserves” who are fighting for the future.
Unlike the first batch of students like Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, and Liu Chuang, who could only squeeze into a simple dormitory with six to eight people in a room, facing cold iron beds and sweat-smelling bedding every day;
Unlike them, who can only queue up in the collective canteen at fixed times to get food, which is carefully prepared by nutritionists but tastes really bad and can only barely fill their stomachs, the uniform standard “nutritional meals” (usually high in protein, low in fat, less oil and salt) are different;
Ye Qiu’s treatment can be described as “a world of difference” and “extremely luxurious”!
Under General Dukao’s “special care” and “helpless compromise”, Ye Qiu was arranged to live in a specially approved single dormitory located in a relatively secluded corner of the base’s living area.
This dormitory may have originally been prepared for senior military officers or visiting dignitaries at the base.
The room is quite spacious, at least forty or fifty square meters, several times larger than the students’ dormitories.
Although the decoration in the room is not magnificent, it is definitely comfortable and modern.
Soft carpets, warm wallpaper, large windows that let in plenty of light, and a set of solid wood furniture that looks like it’s worth a fortune.
What satisfied Ye Qiu most was the two-meter-wide Simmons bed in the room. The mattress was thick and elastic, and it was covered with clean and tidy cotton sheets and a soft and comfortable duvet.
For Ye Qiu, who is extremely sleepy and has extremely high requirements for sleep quality, this is simply a paradise-like enjoyment.
The room is also equipped with a separate bathroom with 24-hour hot water supply, a variety of toiletries, and even a small jacuzzi.
Of course, these are just “routine operations”.
What is even more exaggerated, and what best reflects Ye Qiu’s “special treatment”, is the “food supply system” specially equipped for him in the room, based on the “top-level food and accommodation” request he had put forward during the negotiation!
In a corner of the dormitory, there is a huge snack cabinet made of high-quality solid wood that takes up almost half of the wall.
The cabinet is divided into several areas, each separated by a transparent glass door.
Through the glass door, you can see a dazzling array of high-calorie snacks piled high inside.
Imported potato chips come in original, tomato, barbecue, and cheese flavors, with various brands and packaging.
There are a wide variety of chocolates, from ordinary milk chocolate and dark chocolate to high-end handmade chocolates with nuts, caramel and liquor fillings.
There are also various biscuits, candies, jellies, dried meats, nuts, energy bars… It’s like a small imported food supermarket!
Next to the snack cabinet stands a huge luxurious refrigerator with double doors and even a separate bar!
Opening the refrigerator’s freezer, it was filled with all kinds of carbonated drinks that Ye Qiu liked to drink – Coke, Sprite, Fanta, original flavor, Zero, and various fruit flavors, stacked in dozens.
There are also various juices, milk, yogurt, sparkling water, etc.
Opening the freezer made Ye Qiu’s heart burst with joy! It was packed with high-end ice cream from all brands and flavors! Haagen-Dazs, DQ, Wall’s, Meiji… vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, matcha, rum, tiramisu… the colors were so colorful and the aromas were so fragrant, it was an ice cream lover’s dream paradise!
These dazzling array of snacks and drinks, enough to drive any foodie crazy, were all specially approved by General Dukao and purchased and prepared for Ye Qiu by the logistics department of the Super Seminary, strictly in accordance with the “taste preferences” that Ye Qiu had previously expressed in the buffet restaurant!
The purpose of General Dukao doing this was naturally not to really worship Ye Qiu as an ancestor.
On the one hand, he wanted to fulfill his previous promise and stabilize Ye Qiu, the “uncertain factor”; on the other hand, he also wanted to better observe Ye Qiu by meeting his “special needs”, study his behavior patterns, and whether there was some inevitable connection between the mysterious energy in his body and these high-calorie foods.
After all, Ye Qiu’s astonishing appetite and his almost obsessive love for high-calorie foods are themselves something worthy of study.
Of course, Ye Qiu himself was completely unaware of General Dukao’s “far-sighted” arrangements, or rather, he simply didn’t care.
He only knew that when he saw this luxurious single-room dormitory, which could be called “snack paradise” and “home of happy fat people”, his eyes, which had been squeezed a little small by the fat, instantly lit up, and a smile appeared on his face, which was more satisfied and happier than eating top-grade Wagyu beef!
“Good! Good! This Dukao is quite sensible!” Ye Qiu expressed his high admiration for General Dukao’s “knowledge of the times” in his heart.
He felt that if the Super Seminary could really maintain this “service level”, then it would not be difficult for him to stay here for a while and become a “special observation subject”.
Ye Qiu was extremely satisfied with his new environment.
He felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, or more accurately, a fat bear that had fallen into a candy house. He was so happy that he was about to burst with joy.
He completely ignored the tense and oppressive training atmosphere in the base, and also completely ignored the students who were sweating profusely on the training ground and working hard to protect the earth.
In his opinion, none of that had anything to do with him.
His life creed is very simple – if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up, and he only needs to be responsible for eating well, drinking well, sleeping well, and enjoying his own little life, which is enough.
Thus, in the Super Seminary, a place full of passion, sacrifice and sense of mission, Ye Qiu began his unique and leisurely “retirement life” that was out of tune with the style of the entire base.
He sticks to his unshakable “sleep schedule” every day – sleeping until he wakes up naturally.
Normally, when those poor students in the base have completed several kilometers of weighted cross-country running amid the roars of the instructors, and are exhausted and panting like dogs, our classmate Ye Qiu has just turned over on his comfortable and soft Simmons bed, smacked his lips, and continued to have an intimate communication with Zhou Gong.
Chapter 42: The Battle of the Great Gorge Breaks Out! Fatty’s Doomsday Fortress is in Place! (Old Version)
It was not until the sun was high in the sky, almost ten or even eleven in the morning, that he would yawn, rub his sleepy eyes, and slowly get out of bed.
The first thing he does after getting up is not to wash up or tidy up his room (the logistics staff will help him clean up anyway), but to go straight to the huge snack cabinet, or open the big refrigerator filled with all kinds of delicious food, and start choosing today’s “appetizers” for himself.
It could be a pack of imported butter cookies with a glass of iced chocolate milk; it could be a tub of family-sized vanilla ice cream, eaten directly with a spoon; or even, if he was in a good mood, he would open himself a can of ice-cold beer with some spicy beef jerky.
After successfully awakening his taste buds and appetite with these “appetizers”, he will slowly walk into the independent bathroom, take a comfortable hot bath, and then change into clean and comfortable casual clothes (usually the kind of brightly colored, loose-fitting, and expensive-looking branded goods).
By the time he had made himself look “fresh as new” (although he still looked fat and bloated), it was almost lunchtime.
According to General Dukao’s special approval, the logistics department of the Super Seminary opened a small “special supply kitchen” next to the base cafeteria specifically for Ye Qiu.
This kitchen is equipped with professional chefs who can cook any dish Ye Qiu wants at any time according to his requirements.
So, every day at lunch and dinner time, Ye Qiu would stroll into the small special kitchen like a gourmet patrolling his territory, and then look at the menu (or just dictate it) and order a lot of his favorite high-oil, high-sugar, and high-fat “hard dishes”.
For example, a plate of baked lobster e-fries topped with rich cheese sauce, a piece of medium-rare top-grade beef steak with black pepper sauce, a plate of golden and crispy spicy chicken wings, a big bowl of cream of mushroom soup, and finally, a giant fruit salad piled with various fruits and ice cream balls as dessert.
The chefs are no longer surprised by the astonishing appetite and bizarre taste of this “special observation subject”.
They only need to make these high-calorie foods as delicious as possible according to the requirements, and then deliver them to Ye Qiu’s “snack paradise” dormitory, or to the dining table in the special kitchenette at the time he specifies, and their mission will be completed.
After Ye Qiu had eaten and drunk his fill, he would usually burp loudly with satisfaction, and then begin his “leisure time” in the afternoon.
Sometimes he would wander around the base like a curious tourist.
He would stroll to the edge of the training ground and watch Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang and other “poor” students undergoing various inhumane training under the strict supervision of the instructors, with a “gloating” expression on his face and occasional “tsk tsk” comments, as if he was watching a free circus performance.
“Oh, this guy, his movements aren’t quite right, and his strength isn’t good enough. How can he defeat the aliens like this?”
“Tsk tsk, that big black guy runs too slowly, not even as fast as the old lady taking a walk in my neighborhood!”
“Oh my, this little girl is quite pretty. What a pity that she has to suffer the same fate as me.”
Although his voice was not loud, these “sarcastic remarks” of his were occasionally heard by some sharp-eared students or instructors, attracting many angry and contemptuous looks.
But Ye Qiu didn’t care about it at all, and continued to do his own thing, enjoying it.
Most of the time, he would choose to stay in his comfortable dormitory, which is filled with all kinds of delicious snacks.
He would draw the thick curtains to block out the tense training atmosphere and glaring sunlight outside.
Then, he turned on the latest model of extra-large LCD TV in the room, connected it to the latest game console he brought, and while enjoying the air conditioning and drinking ice-cold cola, he fought and galloped to his heart’s content in the virtual game world.
Or, he would find a highly rated movie or TV series that he had downloaded long ago from his hard drive, curl up on the soft and comfortable sofa, with various chips, chocolates, and popcorn placed around him, watch and eat at the same time, enjoying the immersive experience like in a cinema.
Occasionally, he would get inspired and take out a pen and paper to start scribbling, or writing some irrelevant “novels” or “scripts” that only he could understand, just to kill time, or, in his own words, to “accumulate some spiritual food for the future ‘fat business’.”
In short, Ye Qiu’s life at the Super Seminary base formed a stark contrast with those students who were working hard to protect the earth.
He is like a “young master” who lives at the top of an ivory tower and is specially cared for, or a “fat otaku” who has accidentally entered a military camp. Every day he eats, sleeps, or plays. He leads a leisurely and carefree life, which is out of tune with the tense, serious, hard and dedicated style of the entire base. He seems so different and eye-catching.
His special treatment and leisurely life naturally attracted the attention and…dissatisfaction of other trainees and some grassroots officers in the base.
However, since this was specially approved by General Ducao himself, they could only discuss and criticize it in private and did not dare to raise any public questions or objections.
Ye Qiu himself, on the other hand, didn’t care about any of this.
He still did his own thing, enjoying his “fat man privileges” with peace of mind, and continued his “corrupt” and “degenerate” “special observation” life of “eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, occasionally watching the fun and teasing the rookies”.
Ye Qiu’s unique, even “corrupt and decadent” “privileged” life in the early base of the Super Seminary naturally could not fail to attract the attention of others.
Especially for the first batch of super gene students who are undergoing devilish training and living in dire straits every day, Ye Qiu’s existence is like a firefly in the dark night, or more accurately, a piece of braised pork on the dining table that exudes an enticing aroma but cannot be eaten. It is hard not to pay attention to it.
Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, Liu Chuang, the future core members of the Xiongbinglian, are still just a group of “newbies” who have just transitioned from civilian status and are full of confusion and longing for the future.
Every day they have to undergo unimaginably tough training under the harsh scolding of their instructors.
Early in the morning, when Ye Qiu was still sleeping soundly on his comfortable Simmons bed, they were dragged out of their cold iron beds by the shrill sound of military bugles, and then engaged in a desperate weighted cross-country run on the muddy and slippery training ground.
With every step I took, I felt like my lungs were about to explode, and my legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.
During the day, while Ye Qiu was in his luxurious single room filled with snacks, enjoying the air conditioning, playing games, or tasting the delicious food sent from the special kitchen, they had to sweat profusely on the training ground under the scorching sun or the biting cold wind, practicing fighting skills, learning the use of firearms, and conducting various tactical coordination drills.
Their training uniforms were soaked with sweat, their cheeks were covered with mud, and their bodies were often covered with bruises, with new wounds overlapping old ones.
At night, when Ye Qiu might be lying in the bathtub taking a comfortable hot bath, or watching downloaded movies and enjoying a leisurely entertainment time, they had to drag their exhausted bodies back to the crowded and simple dormitory to continue studying all kinds of boring theoretical knowledge until late at night.
As for the food, it is even more different.
Although the students’ meals are carefully prepared by nutritionists and are said to be able to ensure the energy and nutrition they need for high-intensity training, the taste… is basically at the level of “just enough to fill the stomach.”
The soup is clear and watery, with little oil and salt, and occasionally a little meat, which is considered an improvement in the food.
As for Ye Qiu, his daily diet consisted of either barbecued meat and seafood, or exquisite desserts. A variety of high-calorie delicacies were served one after another. He could have whatever he wanted, even more sumptuous than a buffet at a five-star hotel.
This strong contrast and this huge gap naturally filled the hearts of Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, Liu Chuang and other students who were exhausted like dogs every day and whose food was just enough to ensure their “survival” with all kinds of complicated emotions.
They were curious about the background of this fat man, a stranger to them, who enjoyed such special treatment. How could he have his own luxurious private room? How could he enjoy delicacies they couldn’t even imagine? How could he avoid any arduous training and live so leisurely every day, like a master?
Could it be that he had some kind of connections, someone so powerful that even General Dukao had to give him some sort of courtesy? Or did he possess some incredibly powerful “superpower” unknown to them, enough to allow him to enjoy this privilege?
These questions, like a kitten’s claws, scratched their hearts, making them unable to help but discuss in private and speculate about Ye Qiu’s true identity and purpose in addition to their hard training.
“Hey, tell me, who is that fat guy who lives in the small building at the innermost part of our living area?” During a short break in training, Ge Xiaolun wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and spoke in a low voice to Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang beside him.
Zhao Xin took a big gulp of water and said with a gasp, “Who knows? Anyway, I heard from the patrolling sentry that the guy was picked up by a car sent by General Dukao himself, and he is treated very well! A single dormitory, big meals every day, and no need to participate in training! He is much more comfortable than us poor students!” There was a hint of envy and confusion in his tone that he could not hide.
“Hmph! Comfortable?” Upon hearing this, Liu Chuang snorted disdainfully, spat, and said viciously, “I think that guy is just a relative! He’s fat and bloated, and he’s obviously not a good person! Why should we be training so hard here, defending our country, while he can eat and drink the fine food and enjoy a leisurely life over there? This is so fucking unfair!”
When Liu Chuang was hanging out on the streets, what he hated most was people who relied on connections or money to do whatever they wanted and get something for nothing.
Now that he has arrived at the Super Seminary, a place that values strength and dedication, he still encounters this kind of “privileged class”. Naturally, the imbalance and dissatisfaction in his heart are stronger than those of others.
“That’s right!” Ge Xiaolun echoed, “We’re exhausted like grandchildren every day, eating even less than pig food, but he’s fine, it’s like he’s on vacation! If outsiders knew about this, they’d think our Super Seminary was a nursing home!”
“If you ask me,” Liu Chuang clenched his fists, making a crackling sound, his eyes flashing with a malicious light, “whenever we get the chance, we must go to Panpandao and see how capable that fat guy is! If he really has some amazing skills, then we’ll accept him! But if he’s just a idiot who relies on connections, then I must let him know why the flowers are so red!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin quickly advised, “Hey, Chuangzi, don’t do anything rash! Since that guy was personally assigned by General Du, he must have his reasons.
Let’s just train honestly and not cause trouble.”
Although Zhao Xin was also a little unhappy about Ye Qiu’s special treatment, he was relatively cautious and did not want to get into unnecessary trouble because of a momentary impulse.
“What are you afraid of!” Liu Chuang glared. “We are future super soldiers, heroes who protect the Earth! Are we afraid of a fat guy with unknown origins? Besides, we are just going there for a ‘friendly exchange’, not to fight.
If he really has the skills, and he shows us his skills, it would be a lesson for us new recruits!”
Ge Xiaolun was also somewhat moved when he heard this.
Although he was not as impulsive and aggressive as Liu Chuang, he was indeed curious about the mysterious “privileged fat man”.
He also wanted to know why the fat man could enjoy such special treatment.
Therefore, in the hearts of these first batch of students who were young, energetic and curious about unknown things, the idea of wanting to “meet” the mysterious fat man began to take root quietly.
They didn’t know that the fat man they wanted to go to “Panpandao” was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied, but a “big devil” with strange and powerful abilities that they could not understand at all.
Not everyone turned a blind eye to Ye Qiu’s special treatment and lazy style in the Super Seminary base, or just talked about it and expressed dissatisfaction in private.
There are always some people with upright personalities, or in other words, some “single-minded” people, who cannot stand this kind of “evil trend”.
Wang Lei is such a person.
Wang Lei is a tough instructor in the early base of Super Seminary, responsible for the basic physical fitness and fighting skills training of students.
He was born into China’s most elite special forces, participated in many secret combat missions, and survived many life-threatening situations, which helped him develop a strong body and excellent military qualities.
His character is just like his nickname “Iron Fist”, upright and incorruptible, and he hates evil. What he hates most are those who are cunning and dishonest, do not behave like a soldier, and still want to enjoy privileges.
In Wang Lei’s view, the Super Seminary is a place to train future super warriors who will defend the country and resist alien invasions. Here, there are only discipline, obedience, sweat and sacrifice, and there is no room for slackness or special treatment!
When he heard from other students and some logistics personnel at the base about the various “bad deeds” of Ye Qiu, the “special observation subject” – such as sleeping until he woke up naturally every day, never participating in training, eating a lot of meat and fish for every meal, and pointing fingers and making sarcastic remarks about the training atmosphere at the base – Wang Lei’s anger was rising rapidly.
Chapter 43: While others are fighting bloody battles, Ye Qiu and Qiangwei have a candlelight dinner! (Old version)
“Outrageous! Is this Super Seminary a resort run by his family?!” Wang Lei slammed his fist on the table, spilling the water in the glass. “How can such a lazy, gluttonous bastard with no military bearing at all be allowed to stay in such a sacred place? This is a sheer insult to all of us soldiers fighting to protect the Earth!”
He decided that he had to personally “meet” this so-called “special observation subject” and let him “experience” the discipline and rules of the Super Seminary! He wanted to let that fat man know that this was not a place where he could do whatever he wanted!
So, on a sunny afternoon, when Ye Qiu was sitting in his luxurious single room filled with snacks as usual, enjoying the air conditioning, playing the latest shooting game, and holding a chocolate bar in his mouth, his door was banged on by someone in an extremely rude and impolite manner.
Ye Qiu frowned impatiently, paused the game, walked slowly to the door and opened it.
Standing at the door was a burly man with a dark face and sharp eyes. He was wearing a camouflage training uniform and exuded a strong aura of iron and blood.
It was the iron-blooded instructor Wang Lei who couldn’t stand Ye Qiu’s style and came to “find trouble”.
“Are you Ye Qiu?” Wang Lei looked up and down at Ye Qiu’s fat and bloated figure, as well as his silk pajamas that were out of tune with the surrounding military atmosphere (Ye Qiu had just woken up and had not had time to change clothes). The contempt and disdain in his eyes almost overflowed.
“It’s me, what’s the matter?” Ye Qiu yawned lazily, with the sweet taste of chocolate still lingering in his mouth. He didn’t show much concern for the instructor in front of him who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with.
“Something’s wrong? Of course I am!” Wang Lei’s voice was so loud, like a bell, that it made Ye Qiu’s ears buzz. “Kid, I don’t care where you come from or what your background is! Now that you’ve entered the Super God Academy, you must abide by the rules here! Now, immediately, change into your training clothes and follow me to the training ground! I want to see how many rounds of basic physical training this fat body of yours can withstand!”
As Wang Lei spoke, he wanted to reach out and grab Ye Qiu’s arm, trying to forcibly pull him to the training ground and let him “experience” the “discipline” of the Super Seminary.
In his opinion, to deal with this kind of “relatives” who live a life of luxury and are lazy, one must use the most direct and roughest methods to make them suffer a little, so that they will know their place!
However, just as Wang Lei’s big hand, as big as a palm-leaf fan, was about to touch Ye Qiu’s fat elbow, Ye Qiu’s eyes suddenly condensed slightly.
He just glanced at Wang Lei lightly. His eyes were as calm as a bottomless ancient well, but with a hint of heart-pounding coldness and indifference.
Then, he silently gave the system a command in his mind: “System, consume 0.5 kilograms of fat and inflict a primary bad luck effect of ‘acute gastroenteritis’ on this ungrateful fellow in front of me.”
Let him know why the flowers are so red.”
0.5 kilograms of fat is still a negligible consumption for Ye Qiu.
But for Instructor Wang Lei, who is about to endure this “initial bad luck”, it will be an unforgettable “disaster”.
Almost the next second after Ye Qiu finished thinking about it, something strange happened!
The iron-blooded instructor Wang Lei, who was as loud as a bell and full of momentum just a second ago and was ready to “fight” Ye Qiu, suddenly froze in expression.
Immediately afterwards, his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and beads of cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
He stretched out his hand to grab Ye Qiu, but it fell down weakly.
He felt as if Sun Wukong had stuffed Princess Iron Fan’s red-hot palm-leaf fan into his stomach, stirring it madly! An indescribable, sea-turning pain suddenly erupted from his lower abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his entire abdominal cavity!
“Ugh… Gurgle…” Wang Lei let out a painful groan from his throat. He subconsciously covered his stomach and his body curled up because of the severe pain.
He wanted to speak, to ask Ye Qiu what he had done to him, but the sudden severe pain made it difficult for him to breathe, let alone speak.
He could only open his mouth and make some meaningless “ho ho” sounds. The expression on his face was distorted by pain and looked extremely hideous.
Cold sweat, like a stream, continued to flow from his forehead, cheeks, and neck, soon soaking his collar.
His legs also began to tremble uncontrollably and he almost couldn’t stand.
“Instructor! What’s wrong with you?!” Two students who happened to pass by and saw this scene were startled by Wang Lei’s sudden change. They rushed over and tried to support him.
However, Wang Lei was in so much pain that he couldn’t even speak.
He just kept holding his stomach, veins popped out on his forehead, and his body was shaking like a sieve.
“Quick! Send him to the infirmary! Instructor Wang may have a sudden illness!” One of the students who reacted quickly shouted immediately.
So, under Ye Qiu’s calm and amusing gaze, the iron-blooded instructor Wang Lei, who was so arrogant and domineering a second ago, was holding his stomach in the next second, his face as pale as paper, and cold sweat pouring down. He was hurriedly carried by two students and sent to the base’s medical room as quickly as possible.
After an emergency examination, the military doctor in the infirmary finally diagnosed the patient as acute gastroenteritis, a severe and extremely symptomatic type.
Poor instructor Wang Lei hardly left the toilet for the next three days.
He was vomiting and having diarrhea, and the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim. He was almost fainting.
His originally strong and sturdy body had become thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face looked as haggard as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Three days later, when he dragged his weak legs out of the infirmary weakly, his eyes looking towards Ye Qiu’s dormitory were filled with deep fear and… awe.
He couldn’t understand why he had suddenly developed such severe acute gastroenteritis when he was clearly in good health? And why had it happened right in front of that fat man? Could it be… that fat man really had some kind of unorthodox method?
The news that Instructor Wang Lei “strangely” suffered from acute gastroenteritis and almost collapsed quickly spread inside the Super Seminary base.
Although no one could provide direct evidence to prove that this matter was related to Ye Qiu.
But everyone knew that Instructor Wang Lei suddenly fell ill when he was preparing to “teach” the fat man a lesson.
Moreover, the fat man just glanced at Wang Lei indifferently from beginning to end, without even moving a finger.
These coincidences, as well as Ye Qiu’s unfathomable demeanor, made everyone in the base feel an inexplicable, indescribable fear towards this “special observation object.”
From then on, no blind instructor or officer in the base dared to easily order or provoke Ye Qiu.
They would rather walk around Ye Qiu’s dormitory than have any unnecessary interactions with him.
Ye Qiu’s reputation as the “evil fat man” also began to spread quietly within the Super Seminary base.
He is like an “invisible king” living in his own independent kingdom. Although he does not participate in any affairs, no one dares to disturb his peace.
As the chief scientist and data analysis expert of the Super Seminary, Lian Feng is naturally full of strong research interest in Ye Qiu, the “special observation object” full of mystery.
She longed to uncover the layers of mystery surrounding Ye Qiu, analyze the nature of his incredible abilities, and the source and characteristics of the mysterious energy within him.
If these secrets can be successfully cracked, it may bring immeasurable value to the Super Seminary and the technological development of the entire earth.
Therefore, after Ye Qiu officially “moved in” to the Super Seminary base, Lian Feng tried many times to use the sophisticated testing instruments in the base that represented the highest level of technology on Earth to collect comprehensive body data and monitor energy fluctuations on Ye Qiu.
She used a series of cutting-edge equipment that sounded impressive, including high-precision biological scanners, strong magnetic field resonance imaging equipment, microscopic particle detectors, and induction arrays designed specifically for unknown energy fields.
She hoped to use these instruments to accurately measure Ye Qiu’s various physiological indicators, analyze whether there were any abnormalities in his genetic sequence, capture the special energy fluctuations that might be emitted from his body, and even, if possible, directly observe the energy changes when he exerted those strange abilities.
However, every attempt, without exception, ended in failure.
Moreover, the ways of failure were all surprisingly consistent, and also surprisingly… weird.
Whenever those sophisticated detection instruments, under the careful operation of Lianfeng and her scientific research team, just approached Ye Qiu’s body, or just started to try to scan him, all kinds of inexplicable failures would immediately occur.
Sometimes, the data on the instrument screen suddenly becomes chaotic, with countless meaningless garbled codes and symbols jumping wildly, making it impossible to read any valid information.
Sometimes, the indicator lights and pointers start to jump wildly and uncontrollably, emitting bursts of shrill alarms, as if the circuit system inside the instrument is suffering from some strong electromagnetic interference.
Sometimes, the originally clear and stable monitoring screen suddenly turns into a dazzling snowflake, or simply goes black and displays nothing.
What’s even more exaggerated is that there were several times when those priceless precision instruments, which represented the world’s top technological level, emitted a puff of green smoke and a burnt smell right after they had just started the scanning program and before they had time to collect any data. Then… they were completely short-circuited and damaged, turning into a pile of expensive scrap metal!
Lianfeng and her research team were completely baffled and helpless in the face of this situation.
They repeatedly checked the instrument’s wiring connections, ruled out the possibility of operational errors, and also implemented strict electromagnetic shielding on the surrounding environment. But no matter what they tried, as long as the instrument approached Ye Qiu or attempted to conduct substantial testing on him, it would inevitably malfunction.
This situation is as if there is an invisible but extremely powerful “strong interference field” around Ye Qiu’s body.
This interference field can effectively shield and destroy all technological means that attempt to spy on his secrets.
Lianfeng could only helplessly record these failed attempts and various strange malfunctions of the instruments in detail, and then temporarily attribute them to “some unknown special energy field on the target object that can produce strong interference, and its nature and principle need further study.”
She didn’t know that the “culprit” of all this was actually Ye Qiu himself.
Although Ye Qiu appears to be carefree and heartless on the surface, he values his biggest secret – his fat system – more than anything else.
He didn’t want these cold machines to spy on the unique energy fluctuations in his body caused by the conversion of fat, and he didn’t want others to know that the source of his magical abilities was… his fat body.
Therefore, whenever he sensed that a detection device was trying to scan him, he would secretly consume a tiny amount of insignificant fat (usually only 0.01 kg or even less), and then impose an extremely precise “equipment failure” or “data disorder” bad luck effect on those devices.
This kind of “precision destruction” can not only effectively prevent the other party’s detection without causing too much suspicion (after all, it is common for instruments to malfunction), but it can also consume a little bit of excess fat. For him, it is simply killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it?
Therefore, under Ye Qiu’s “silent” interference, Lianfeng and her research team have never been able to make any substantial progress in their work on Ye Qiu’s physical data and energy detection.
The mystery surrounding Ye Qiu has become even more confusing and intriguing.
While Ye Qiu was leisurely enjoying his “privileged” life, occasionally “troubling” the blind instructors, or secretly interfering with the detection equipment that tried to spy on his secrets, another person in the Super Seminary, who was also the key training target highly valued by General Dukao – Du Qiangwei, who possessed a rare time and space gene, had also gradually emerged in various training and assessments of the academy, showing her great potential and extraordinary strength far beyond her peers.
Du Qiangwei, as her name suggests, is like a red rose with thorns. She is beautiful and delicate, but also has a sharpness and arrogance that makes people dare not approach her easily.
Her father was Admiral Dukao, one of the highest commanders of the Super Seminary and a survivor of the Denor Galaxy War.
This special background has exposed her to many secrets that ordinary people cannot imagine since she was a child, and has also given her a deeper understanding and a stronger sense of crisis about the upcoming interstellar war than others.
She inherited her father’s powerful Denor galaxy genes and awakened the extremely rare and powerful “space-time gene”.
This gene gave her a series of incredible abilities, such as controlling micro wormholes, performing space jumps, and creating space barriers.
