Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Run Long: Rise
Chapter 132

“Haa… Fu*k. I’d rather fight for two days than do this.” Wei Jun said as he finally sealed the last container and then sealed all the boxes. After he was done, he came out of the warehouse, under the cover of the night.

Wei Jun had finished his task but it took him three days to do so. He had to wait for a half day for the night to come so he could leave undetected.

He also hadn’t eaten for two days and his stomach was rumbling thunder for the world to hear, that was how hungry he was.

As Wei Jun left the grounds, he made his way to the woods where he had hidden his bike under the cover of leaves and branches. Wei Jun boarded the bike and left the place.

He left in the night and in the morning, a car came to the container and the person inside it opened it up followed by Noh Tian and Run Long, who seemed to be the most anxious person there.

“Sign here, here, and here.” The official who came with them asked them to leave their signs. Since it was Run Long’s stuff, he nodded and signed the papers. After that, the official checked everything and said, “Everything seems to be in order. You have three hours to clear the container.”

“Thank you.” Noh Tian said while Run Long hurriedly ran inside and checked on his merchandise. Seeing that all of it was in good condition, he sighed and said, “That fu*ker had to die at that moment. I would have been raking in millions if not for him.”

“For now, let us head home, Brother Long. You can start your company tomorrow.” Noh Tian said with a smile to which Run Long nodded and said, “That’s a good suggestion, brother Tian. Let us head home and celebrate. And tomorrow, we take this city by storm.”

Chow! Chow! Chow! Gulp! Gulp! Chow!

A starved animal wouldn’t eat like that; the way Wei Jun was eating. If before, he had no class, now, he was outright animalistic, even worse than that. the food that could easily feed a hundred people three times, was chowed down to the endless pit Wei Jun called his stomach.

Madam Lim and the kitchen staff had been working overtime since the morning. They hadn’t left the kitchen in four hours and they were still cooking for Wei Jun, who showed no signs of stopping.

Wei Jun had returned at dawn after almost three days. The first thing he said as he entered the home was, “Don’t stop making food unless I say so.”

And that was how the pantry that was supposed to last them the whole three weeks was about to be emptied. Finally, after the last round, Wei Jun asked the kitchen staff to stop and eat the last round of food themselves or they could take it home to their families.

Technically, it was leftover food but they couldn’t even dream of eating such food even with their pay so they were obviously happy. They thought it was compensation for their overtime but they became even more happy when Wei Jun handed each of them a check of 100,000 yuan while Lady Lim received a million.

The rest of the servants of the house were quite jealous of the kitchen staff but none of them could imagine working four hours nonstop making food full of cow meat.

As Wei Jun finally finished his meal, he turned to Lao Chen and said, “Make the healthiest vegetable juice.” Like he had asked for the most famous and oldest wine to be prepared, but he didn’t look cool at all while saying that.

All the alcohol in the house was reserved for parties and such but even then, Wei Jun didn’t drink nor did he let anyone drink in the house except for events. His drink of choice for the last three months had solely been vegetable juice. He drank about three jugs of them a day.

Wei Jun left everything and retired to his room. As he entered his room. He sat in a lotus position and began to solidify his core. For the last three weeks, he didn’t have much time to do it but he had still managed to get it to twenty percent of the way.

Now that he was finished with everything and just needed to sit back and watch, he was going to give his full attention to cultivation. He couldn’t increase his Qi because of the level limit but he was sure that that would soon be solved as well.

The item that carried the last treasure, the cultivation technique Run long obtained in the third volume, would soon be coming to the empire from abroad.

Once he had obtained it, and with Run Long’s reputation plummeting and his bad deeds coming to light, bad deeds Wei Jun created, Run Long’s image in the eyes of Quan Li and Lin Ruan, who already suspected him to a great extent, would come down to the rock bottom, skyrocketing his level at once.

However, the solidification of the core didn’t require a level limit. He could do it freely because he would technically be improving his control. His control was sh*t when it wasn’t being controlled by the system.

He sighed and immersed himself in the cultivation. He had eaten, and done everything that was needed to be done. Run Long wouldn’t make his move today so Wei Jun was simply going to solidify his core until tomorrow morning, skipping everything else.

*******

Today, the Yuan Yin city was taken by a storm. A claim, that was made on open channels, supported by many families of Yuan Yin City, took the residents of the city by shock.

The claim was simple. Disfigurement. A problem many people in the world were afflicted with and not all were cultivators, mana users, or spiritualists. There were normal people, powerful normal people, who suffered from this problem as well. And if they didn’t suffer from it, someone close to them did. And if no one to them, then it was simply a business opportunity.

Run Long, stood on top of the stage behind the podium with pride. His stature was perfect and coupled with his handsomeness, he was a dream man many women wanted.

The cameras were going wild taking pictures and flashes filled the entire space. All of them focused on the man on the stage whose claim had caused unrest throughout the city. Not only that, his status was revealed by the backing of many prominent families such as the Na family and many more officials.

‘Weird, brother Tian hasn’t arrived yet.’ Run Long thought as he saw that Noh Tian’s seat was still empty while almost all the families that supported him had arrived. ‘Maybe he’s running late. Unfortunately, I cannot delay this any longer.’

Run Long thought and took a seat on the stage beside Ouyang Na who was his staunchest supporter.

It was the beginning of the event and the media was allowed to ask questions for the first five minutes. After that, the reporters were instructed to only listen.

A female reporter raised her hand among many but of course, Run Long’s gaze went at her straight because of her beauty and he allowed her to ask her question, “Mister Long, is it true that you are the disciple of the esteemed miracle healer, Li Wang Lan?”

Run Long smirked and replied, “I am. And not only that, I am his only disciple. And he has imparted all of his knowledge to me, and sent me here to serve this city with that knowledge.”

The next reporter asked, again a woman, “Mister Long, many people out there doubt the fact that you are indeed the disciple of the esteemed miracle healer. Do you have anything to say to them?”

Run Long nodded with a smile and replied, “Why would I need to prove anything when my actions are enough for that.”

It was a cryptic answer and not really what the reporter was hoping for but that was all she got.

“Mister Long,” A male reporter stood up and asked even though he wasn’t allowed, making Run Long frown but he made sure that frown didn’t appear on his face, “Many people believe that your claim is outlandish. Do you have anything to say to them?”

“They will soon see the greatness of my product. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be able to get it then.” Run Long cursory replied, moving on to the next reporter, again a female.

“Mister Long, the Ruan family claims that your product is a scam and it hasn’t been approved by the authorities. They urge people to not purchase your product because it could cause adverse effects. Do you have anything to say about those claims?” As soon as the reporter asked her question, the entire hall froze.

The name Ruan was enough to cause unrest in the room and the claims provided by them were also not easily dismissible. No doubt, some people would look into them.

And a hundred percent chance, those people would use it against him.
