Chapter 321: Chapter 323: Dad! I Want to Use Cheats…

“The noble families seem to have grown more arrogant,” Ji Shan muttered, holding a newspaper as he walked down the street. He looked through the latest policies which offered little advantage to the lower classes but favored the great families.

Therefore, Ji Shan suspected these noble families were preparing to restore the old ways.

With Ji Sheng dead, and the head instructor of the Special Combat Team also gone, Yan Country’s high-level combat strength was in jeopardy. Those in the world did not care whether they were from Yan Country; they were more concerned with their interests. Some families had even begun to secretly reach out to forces from other nations, plotting to divide Yan Country among themselves.

After all, to the noble families, the current state of Yan Country was too rigid. It was better to trade it for resources. Selling out was not new to them. If Yan Country were thriving, they would not dare to make such a move; but in its weakened state, they were more than willing to deliver the fatal blow and, perhaps, even indulge in the titles of Prince or Duke afterward.

Of course, some noble families wanted to ascend to power, restore the imperial system, and enslave everyone under the heavens. These were the families with real strength; those without it would naturally want to trade Yan Country for sufficient benefits.

The ancestors controlling these families were all from the previous era, extremely egotistical people who would sacrifice anything for longevity. To them, the loss of a country was nothing; with their strength, they could thrive anywhere. Selling their nation could be more valuable.

...

So, Ji Shan thought, why not play a trick on these noble families himself?

He was quite envious of the wealth and foundations of these families. While these ancestors had not yet recovered their full strength, they were not short on coffins. If he could annihilate these noble families, wouldn’t his gains be much more substantial than simply sharing with Qin Muye? It was essentially profit without investment.

The key was having strong backing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to handle so many on his own; after all, there were numerous noble families, and he couldn’t manage them alone.

Only with Qin Muye’s agreement could he ask the Spirit Monsters hidden beneath the sea to make a move. Black Hand, Smiling Face, and the others were adept at scavenging resources, far stronger than a newbie like him.

He had caught up in strength, but in terms of experience, he still lagged behind these familial ancestors. He was only eighteen and hadn’t been in society for a full year. No matter how bright he was, he couldn’t outsmart these old foxes. Experience was not directly linked to one’s cultivation talents and needed to be gained through personal experiences.

So, Ji Shan still needed more practice.

Therefore, he decisively communicated with Qin Muye and went to find Black Hand.

But after talking with Black Hand, Ji Shan realized something: he had greatly underestimated how wealthy his father really was.

Black Hand said that if it was about using force to plunder, they could arrange some men to go kill and set fires. But if it was about plotting schemes and engaging in political intrigue, then it wouldn’t be worth it to deploy their professionals.

Because these professionals were managers, too busy to join Ji Shan in his little game for such minor resources.

In Ji Shan’s eyes, it was a substantial amount of resources, but to Spirit Monster heroes like Black Hand, it was essentially a loss-making deal.

As to why the combat personnel had time— that was simple. They were always busy working, not involved in management, and the affairs in the territory could go on with or without them. Working was just a way to pass time, and they were trained regularly. Especially people like Demon Blood, who had nearly gone stir-crazy from idleness over the years.

This left Ji Shan more than a little embarrassed. What he saw as a significant trove of resources ended up being something he would have to handle on his own.

“My vision is too narrow, too narrow indeed…” Ji Shan sighed. He thought that after mixing with Qin Muye for so long, his perspective would have broadened, but now he realized that Qin Muye’s vision hadn’t expanded all that much either.

When it came to his own territory, Qin Muye was almost completely ignorant.

Ask him about the yield per mu, and he would have to check the panel for data.

“Whew, I’ve grown stronger. Oh well, it seems my little game isn’t significant enough to trouble Black Hand. But it’s just a game after all— if I lose, I can flip the table and call for people to back me up,” he mused.

Ji Shan decided to play along with these noble families, considering it good practice to accumulate experience.

He was not like Qin Muye; he couldn’t possibly stay home all his life. Even if Qin Muye told him to do so, he wouldn’t last. People were different, after all.

If staying at home could solve all problems for Qin Muye, he would definitely do it for a lifetime.

“Cultivating on my own is one way, but if I want to get stronger quickly, I’ll have to return to my territory,” Ji Shan knew that his being Level 0 was a deliberate act by Qin Muye. Now was his period of rapid development, and going back to his territory to leech experience was when he could cheat the system.

That’s the difference. It’s just that now is not a good time to cheat the system.

‘What are you going back for now? I think your Primordial Spirit Divine Power holds much more promise than grinding for experience,’ Qin Muye’s voice chimed in slowly.

Usually, Qin Muye doesn’t interfere with what Ji Shan does, except for going back to his territory.

‘I want to go back and cheat the system!’ Ji Shan stated righteously to Qin Muye.

‘…’ Qin Muye was somewhat taken aback. Could someone talk about cheating with such an air of legitimacy?

For Ji Shan, it really was that simple. After all, as a Hero, he had no bottlenecks, meaning leveling up would make him stronger. Coupled with his Mythical Level Qi Refiner Profession, he truly could create a fearsome Hero Attribute, considering each level up brought two Expert Level Skills and a Hero Talent.

He was genuinely, undeniably overpowered. If he stayed in his territory for just three to five days, Ji Shan could indeed undergo a complete transformation.

In his territory, the resource buildings provided an abundance of experience, and even without additional experience amplification, he could gain significant experience.

Unfortunately, after Level 60, the experience requirements became much too demanding. Even now, the highest level in his territory was only Tian Qi at Level 67, and to idle to Level 70 and reach Tier 7, it would take several more years at least.

So, if you want to level up, you only have the option of starting a major war. For example, defeating the Sky Net Era would definitely bring a huge amount of experience.

Unless you’re like Qin Muye, who has a lot of extra experience gaining abilities, where a little bit of experience can be amplified to three thousand points of experience, idling is definitely not faster than monster-slaying for experience.

And Ji Shan, being Level 0, is different. He’s not Tier 6, so early on, rushing levels could greatly increase his strength.

‘Alright, wait until I have perfected the Mystical Lord Seven Chapter Secret Scroll and your Heaven’s Will Divine Power, then I’ll let you mix in your territory for a bit.’ Qin Muye pondered for a while. It would take some time, which would give Ji Shan a chance to further temper his character, so he wouldn’t become too arrogant from growing strong too fast.

‘Forget it, we’ll wait until I return. I always feel like I’m laying the foundation. Suddenly inflating my strength doesn’t seem like a good idea. It’s probably some sort of special intuition formed by Heaven’s Will and my Child of Destiny Talent,’ Ji Shan thought about it and still declined.

He wanted to cheat, but he also knew one thing: the system he was following was different, and it would be better to refine his Primordial Spirit further. He could vaguely sense the potential within his Primordial Spirit that could be further developed.

If his strength increased too rapidly, it would make development more difficult. There are benefits to being weak, and strengths to being strong.

Moreover, he wasn’t weak now. His actual combat strength was already Tier 5, adequate to manipulate certain matters.

As for Tier 6, he knew that was a hurdle he wouldn’t be able to overcome anytime soon.

Grinding for experience in his territory to break through to Tier 6 was certainly faster than cultivating on his own.

Otherwise, what would Lords use to win against the natives? If there wasn’t a leveling system, and you’re not the protagonist, how could you easily bridge the gap of years and resources?

‘Tch, that’s quite rare. But you’re right. While the Qi Refiner has been recognized by the Lord Era, this Profession is essentially a Cultivation System. It’s best to develop on your own, that’s the best path to take,’ Qin Muye reiterated.

Ji Shan himself was very smart, naturally knowing the potential of the Qi Refiner was immense, both in terms of Primordial Spirit and Divine Skills.

What he lacked more was experience, not strength. Strength really was something he could achieve effortlessly.

And when he gets back to the Warlock Dynasty, he will need to resolve the issue of the constrained timeline. He knew he had a solid grasp of the situation. Although he would assist, he was definitely not the main force; his role would more likely be to provide the luck needed at the pivotal moment, acting as a mascot.

If he were to be sent to the battlefield as the main force, Qin Muye would not agree. Even though he had a Mythical Level Profession, in terms of combat, he might not necessarily be able to defeat various elite units, and even as a main force, he would not be able to overcome the Sky Net Era.
