Chapter 10

Lin Wen lay in the First Hospital of Xihu City for a week.

In fact, he woke up on the third day, but he could not face the fact that he had lost the opportunity to start a perfect reincarnation cultivation. Therefore, he lay on the hospital bed for another four days.

Fortunately, there were three nurses who took care of him 24/7. They gave him a full-body massage every day. It was said that they did it to prevent muscle atrophy from happening. Hence, his life was not too difficult.

The only thing that bothered Lin Wen was that they did too many things, often touching and whispering.

“Wow, this feels so good. I won’t get sick of it no matter how many times I touch it!”

“Look at this abdominal muscle. It’s soft, strong, and elastic. It’s much stronger than those who acquired hard and rigid muscles in the gym.”

“His chest is unexpectedly broad. It must feel very safe to lean against it.”

“His thighs are strong and stylish. They are so enjoyable. Even a girl like me is envious.”

“Wow, I touched the inner side of his thigh…”

“Brat, do you want to die?!”

“You are the most shameless!”

Only when the head nurse patrolled the room would they be more obedient, but not for long.

In Lin Wen’s opinion, this was actually a kind of test. When cultivating, one would face all kinds of temptations. Once one couldn’t hold it back, one’s heart would be damaged, and when it was severe, one would even develop inner demons. When one broke through, one would be filled with illusions. All sorts of great temptations that originated from the bottom of one’s heart would surge forth. If one was distracted and failed to break through, it would be a small matter, but if one’s foundation was completely destroyed, it would be disastrous.

Hence, it wasn’t a bad thing to train in advance. After all, he was focused on considering the causes of death and researching spells.

He really found a valuable cause of death for him.

To die for love. Become a person who doesn’t understand love and fate in the mortal world.

Perception +9, Opportunity +3, Luck +1, Charm +3. Obtained Love Root. If you betray your love, your heart will collapse and you will become possessed.

This was the first time that Lin Wen had seen a cause of death that was worth more than three points. According to the information he had obtained while researching another spell, there were three aspects to immortal cultivation: Talent, Spiritual Sense, and Perception.

Talent was about vitality, Spiritual Sense was about soul, and Perception was about wisdom.

These were the most important attributes.

Opportunity and Luck were special attributes. Opportunity determined the process, and Luck determined the upper limit.

If one wanted to walk high in the cultivation world, Luck was a must. If one wanted to walk steadily and quickly, Opportunity was a must.

If one wanted to climb up without luck, they would eventually die and their cultivation would dissipate. They would lose their wealth and treasures. This was what Lin Wen often said about the Child of Wealth giving away his treasures.

In the cultivation world, if one wanted to survive without Luck, then they could only be mediocre, lower their heads to be small, and consider themselves to be beneath others. For Lin Wen, whose goal was to dominate the cultivation world and sweep through all immortals, this was impossible to accept.

Therefore, Luck came first, Opportunity came second, and Aptitude came third.

Other than these five attributes, the rest were secondary attributes such as charisma, temperament, and aura. They were not useless, but they were not particularly important.

Looking at it this way, dying for love would give terrifyingly high Perception. The only flaw was that his luck would be slightly lacking.

This was also its biggest flaw, so Lin Wen could only reluctantly use it as a backup. Unless he could find a cause of death that could be achieved together with it, it would not be able to shake the position of the Chosen One and the responsible person.

In addition, Lin Wen also found some spells and verified something.

Back then, he discovered two special spells, Green Vast Sky and Asking the Heavens.

Among them, Green Vast Sky could not be used. The reason was very simple. This world did not have any heavenly secrets, so naturally, chaos would not arise.

On the other hand, Asking the Heavens required the right method. It was like the literal meaning. One had to ask questions first and then decide the consumption of magic based on the difficulty of the questions. The minimum requirement was 10% Soul Essence, while the highest requirement was infinite Kindness.

The information regarding his aptitude had been obtained by using Asking the Heavens. This information was not in his memory, and he had wasted a lot of time thinking.

The information in his memory should only include the system and didn’t include cultivation problems.

If he used Asking the Heavens to ask questions related to the system, the answer would be None.

The information revealed here was very interesting.

What was more interesting was that Asking the Heavens could answer the questions of this world.

Lin Wen revealed a cold, noble and devilish smile.

“This question can only be answered after I become a Dao Ancestor.”

There was another similar spell: Immortal Guiding the Way.

The only difference between them was that Asking the Heavens only answered questions about things that had existed objectively before, while Immortal Guiding the Way answered subjective questions. For example, what could be done to succeed in something?

The consumption of Immortal Guiding the Way was huge. It could easily cost hundreds or thousands of Kindness. If that wasn’t the case, Lin Wen would have asked, “How can I chase these three demons away?”

They had been going too far recently.

“Wow, look at his face. He’s clearly handsome.”

“It’s true. I didn’t realize it before.”

“You little b*tches, it’s because you were only interested in his body.”

“You make it sound like you weren’t.”

“Exactly. You’re just another little bi*ch.”

After a while, someone sighed.

“If only he were my husband.”

One of them sneered. “In your dreams. He’s already the mayor at such a young age. Today, he’s the headline on the front page of the Empire newspaper, ‘The Last Man on the Dam’. The subtitle is’ The Star That Will Never Extinguish in the Night ‘. Look, do you think you’re worthy of such a man?”

Someone took out the newspaper.

“Look at this photo. It’s really amazing.”

“Wow! Really? Is he really that handsome?”

“I’m going to faint!”

“He is so cool! The peerless hero of my dreams, Prince Charming, has appeared again!”

“Look, this light, this silhouette, this composition, it’s simply amazing. Just as the night is about to pass and the dawn has yet to arrive, when the sky seems to be hazy, he’s standing alone on the dam. Facing the surging flood, he’s like a hero with the aura of thousands of soldiers and horses rushing towards us?”

“Look at this scene. Above him, dark clouds are rolling, and the atmosphere is solemn. Under his feet, the great dike is silent, containing danger. In front of him, water splashes everywhere, proving that the river is turbulent and the enemy is right in front of him. Look at his figure, standing tall and unmoving, facing the enemy directly. There is a faint sense of him soaring up and charging forward.”

“Thanks to the light and shadow, isn’t it fascinating and uncontrollable? He’s the only one facing such heavy pressure from the heavens and earth. Although that figure is small, it seems to be indomitable. Doesn’t this feel explosive?”

“I’m willing to bet that this photo will definitely win the Best Photography Award this year and crush all the gold medals in the past twenty years.”

“Sister Li, stop it. My heart can’t take it anymore.”

“Why do I suddenly feel a terrifying sense of regret? I want to stab this knife into him…”

“Hey! Little hussy, let go of me. This is a dangerous move. You’re trying to murder the Empire’s hero. Be careful not to be taken away by the Empire’s Internal Affairs Bureau!”

After a while, their voices suddenly became softer, but Lin Wen could still hear them clearly.

“If such a top-notch man wasn’t lying right here with us, we wouldn’t even be able to touch him.”

“That’s right. I guess his career will be smooth-sailing in the future. He’ll be a high-ranking official and an aristocrat. He’ll be surrounded by a bunch of little vixens that he’ll caress every night…”

“Don’t talk nonsense! This is the hero of the Empire. He will only have one wife in the future, and they will grow old together!”

“Are you stupid?! Don’t you feel more heartbroken if you say that? Do you think you can become his wife?”

“That’s why I say it’s best if he’s greedy for money and lust. If he’s surrounded by hundreds of beautiful women, maybe you’ll even have a chance to kiss him.”

“Stop talking nonsense, little hussies. This is our last chance. If he wakes up, we won’t be able to touch him anymore. We might as well touch everything we can now.”

She didn’t say anything, just a few slurping sounds.

“A hero of the Empire, eh? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a live one, and I’m the one who’s been, uh…”

“Shh!”

There was a slight sound of movement. In Lin Wen’s mind, three nurses crept closer.

“Hey, isn’t it kind of a bad idea for us to do this?” a super thin voice asked.

“Then you can leave!” A voice said rudely, “You can touch it in your dreams in the future.”

After a moment of silence, Lin Wen felt his blanket being gently lifted. A few soft and slightly cold hands reached in.

Unlike in the past, their hands did not linger on his body. Instead, they moved downwards. The hands gently lifted up the only pair of shorts on his body while another hand pulled down.

Lin Wen could only “wake up” immediately. He yawned and stretched.

The three little hands shrank back like lightning. There was a thud beside them, as if someone had tripped over a chair and fallen.

All three nurses ran out at the same time. Lin Wen could only see their slender backs and red ears.

After a while, a shout came from the corridor. “The Hero of the Empire has woken up!”

“The hero is awake! He’s fine!”

The sound gradually faded away. Before long, countless footsteps could be heard and the door was violently pushed open!

Numerous cameras that were much fiercer than the flood rushed in and struck at him.

This flash was much more violent than the thunderstorm.

A microphone was brought to his mouth.

“Mayor Lin, do you have anything to say about guarding the dike?”

This action seemed to have flipped a switch as countless microphones were fired at him.

“Mayor Lin, I heard that your staff ran away. Were they not willing to take the risk to guard the dam?”

“Mayor Lin, the experts said that there should be construction equipment on the levee, but as far as I know, there’s no such equipment in the entire Changshan County. How did you do it?”

“Mayor Lin, the courage to support you on the levee is because you believe in the glory of the Empire, right?”

“Mayor Lin…”

“Mayor Lin…”

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah.

Lin Wen felt that he had reached his limit.
