"If you're not a widow and your children aren't orphans, I won't help you, Aunt Yunying!"
"See this! Look what you've done to this fur coat! You've ruined it!"
"I don't blame you, but you're very old. Can't you be more responsible and stop causing trouble?"
Luo Yunyang felt anger rising from within him upon hearing those slurs. It was Cheng Bapi who stopped by his house.
Cheng Bapi is the nickname his sister gave to the owner of the laundry where his mother worked. His real name is Cheng Daren. However, the Luo family had gotten used to using the nickname to refer to her mother's superior.
That evil person always had many ways to make Luo Yunyang's mother work harder and get paid less than she should.
That's why he was nicknamed Cheng Bapi.
Without a second thought, Luo Yunyang opened the door of his house and went inside. His mother's head was bowed in a dimly lit room lit by a lamp while his sister looked like a wounded quail in the corner of the room.
That sight made Luo Yunyang very sad.
"Yunyang, you're home! There's food on the stove. Eat first!" shen Yunying said softly. He was a little embarrassed when he saw his son.
Instead of eating, Luo Yunyang instead stepped over to Cheng Daren. Cheng Daren felt fear in his heart when he saw Luo Yunyang walking towards him.
How could I be afraid of teenagers? This is so ridiculous…
Although Cheng Daren was not an influential person in this city, he had a shop and an elder brother who was a martial arts expert. Therefore, its existence in Donglu City cannot be underestimated.
"Luo Yunyang, you're home. I heard that your strength is 100 kilos lower than that of young master Lian. Hah. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my mother's money."
While saying this, Cheng Daren straightened his body and looked towards Luo Yunyang contemptuously.
The look on Shen Yunying's face changed, he was worried for his son who saw his current condition.
"You lied!" Luo Dong'er couldn't take it. "In the previous strength test, Lian Yubi lost 100 kilos to my brother!"
"That's an old story. Didn't you know that Boss Lian gave his son a body-building drug? The drug costs 100,000 days!"
Subconsciously, Cheng Daren's voice grew louder. "The status of a martial expert was extremely high. A poor boy like you could probably get through that training. You don't even have a father figure!"
Luo Yunyang smiled cunningly at him and said, "It's none of your business whether I am able to pass that training or not, Cheng Daren!"
Cheng Daren trembled in fear as Luo Yunyang spoke his name bluntly.
The man's self-esteem is very high. How dare this brat call out to him without being polite?
Others might have called out his name in such a manner, but Cheng Daren wanted to be the figure that the villagers feared as he walked before them.
What right do you have to say my name so disrespectfully, boy? You're…
"Don't smile like that, Luo Yunyang. It has nothing to do with you." He showed me the coat in his hand. "You must compensate 1,000 days, Aunt Yunying. Pay tomorrow."
"If that customer doesn't pity you, he may have told you to pay the original price of this coat, which is 10,000 days!"
Shen Yunying was worried after hearing that. 1,000 days is a huge amount. He had to wash his clothes for an entire year to gather 2,000 days. With such a large sum, he had to pay the equivalent of 6 months of his income.
"The condition of the matel was like that before I washed it, sir. You. You can't tell me to pay!"
"If you don't want to pay, then I'll have to compensate. Listen to me, Shen Yunying. There are a lot of people waiting in line to work at my place!" Chen Daren raised his head and said curiously, "If you don't pay for it tomorrow, don't blame me if I do something bad to you!"
"You said my mom broke this fur coat. Give me that coat, I want to see it." Without waiting for his mother to say anything, Luo Yunyang walked up to Cheng Daren.
Although Cheng Daren did not want to hand the fur coat over to Luo Yunyang, he subconsciously extended it. Luo Yunyang scanned the mantle in his hand and found a finger-sized hole in the top of the purple mink fur coat.
He didn't know what the hole was.
Since he had an attribute control tool that could improve his future, he did not feel that 1,000 days was a large number.
However, looking at her mother's expression, Luo Yunyang felt that there was something odd about this situation.
He was confident that he would not be able to contain his anger and pay 1,000 days.
He was eager to beat up Cheng Daren who had accused his mother of wrongdoing, but he still had to obey the basic rules of the Institution.
What's he supposed to do?
Luo Yunyang suddenly recalled something. It quickly gave rise to attribute-regulating tools and increased its Intelligence Attributes.
This was the first time he had increased his Intelligence Attributes to this height, though,
Intelligence: 3.5!
Luo Yunyang felt astonished. He suddenly recalled his strength reaching 500 kilos after practicing the Earth-Splitting Devil Ape style.
Once again he set his eyes on that perforated fur coat. He realized that what he saw was no longer the same. The hole looks much larger, as well as the feathers around it.
"Who owns this fur coat, Old Man Cheng? Whoever he is, tell him he's a con man. It's not over yet. They'll deal with me!"
Luo Yunyang then pointed to the hole and said, "This hole was caused by an arrow. The marks on the fur of this coat and the skin of its owner can be used as evidence."
Cheng Daren's body trembled. He did know the cause of the hole in the coat, and since Luo Yunyang already knew about it, he was nervous.
Although deep down he was confused, Cheng Daren still maintained the same attitude.
"God!" yelled Luo Yunyang. His eyes turned red and he felt like a roaring lion.
When he heard the scream, Cheng Daren felt like his heart had been hit with a heavy hammer. His sight darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Luo. Luo…"
Only those two words could be said from Cheng Daren's mouth. Then, he immediately turned around in panic and ran towards the door.
The room was dark and the floor was slippery. Cheng Daren was too panicked to notice his steps, so he slipped and fell.
The man who seemed to be being chased by demons immediately got up and ran out in fear.
"Ha ha.. How arrogant he is! Why does ********it does not fall and die?" Luo Dong'er laughed out loud, her little pigtails swaying along.
Luo Yunyang stroked her sister's hair affectionately and threw a smile at her.
Shen Yunying also smiled, but her smile was slightly forced, making it look worse than tears.
The cunning Cheng Daren had already left in fear, so they no longer needed to pay the 1,000 days. But they had humiliated Cheng Daren. Shen Yunying won't be able to return to work in that store again. Without having any income, how could she raise her two children?
"I've become a martial arts expert, Mother. From now on, let me bear the entire cost!" Luo Yunyang knew what his mother was thinking. He recalled all the bitter times and hard work he had without daring to fight back. Luo Yunyang tried to comfort his mother by patting her shoulder.
Hearing her brother's words, Luo Dong'er was speechless. He could only look at his brother with a sigh.
He knew very well what a martial artist was. Their lives must have been well secured in Donglu City.
He always hoped that his brother would become a martial artist, but he never thought that his dream would come true so soon. He felt he was dreaming.
"Is that true? This.." Shen Yunying was very happy to hear the news. He did not believe what he heard.
Just like her daughter, Shen Yunying was also aware of her son's strength. However, with their poor family situation, he was unable to provide proper food for his talented children.
The benchmark to become a martial expert was 500 kilos. His beloved son had not even reached 300 kilos.
"Today, I learned the Ape-Dragon style and my strength increased to 500 kilos!" When she saw the look of disbelief on her mother's face, Luo Yunyang retold what had happened before.
Then, he reached out his hand and took out a ball from the broken table that one of his legs of refusals had lost to nowhere.
What he had just taken was a grip ball, the cheapest tool created by the federation to measure the level of strength, the price was only 10 days. This ball was a gift from Luo Dong'er on his 15th birthday.
"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue!"
Five colors appear on the tool until finally stop at the sparkling blue color and look dazzling under the light of the lamp.
"500 kilos? My brother's strength has reached 500 kilos. Hurrah! My brother is now a martial arts expert!" Luo Dong'er cheered loudly, his voice full of joy.
Shen Yunying looked at the blue-colored ball with relief. He could not hold back his tears.
"Yunya, Dong'er! Waita minute! I'll prepare a better meal to celebrate this moment!" Shen Yunying wiped her tears and walked into the kitchen outside the small house.
Moments later, he brought in four types of food.
Although her mother had gone to great lengths to improve their lives, Luo Yunyang's heart was slashed upon seeing that limited vegetable.
I want to give a better life to my mother and sister!
After eating, Luo Yunyang held his bed in the living room. Their wooden house measuring only 20 square meters has been standing since 50 years ago, so much wood has now been weathered.
When they sleep, there will occasionally be the sound of cracks in the wood.
Luo Yunyang's priority was to buy a bigger house. Thus, his mother and sister did not need to be cramped in a small house like this.
At the thought of this, Luo Yunyang recalled his experience today when he suddenly obtained that attribute regulating tool. He did not know where the device came from, but he realized how important it was.
This can be his greatest weapon.
As he was about to fall asleep, he thought about the incident when he raised his Intelligence to the number 3.5.
Not only can he see the little things clearly, but he also feels like he has strength he was not aware of before.
He tried to raise his Intelligence Attribute again!
Luo Yunyang tuned his Intelligence Attribute to 3.5 again.
In an instant, he felt the things around him become clearer. He could even hear the sound of mosquitoes buzzing and pointing towards Luo Dong'er's arm.
When he thought of the possibility that his sister's arm would swell the next day, he instinctively wanted to prevent it.
He just thought about it.
He did not even know that the power of his mind could work like that, but as the mosquito got closer, it suddenly seemed as if something was blocking the movement of the mosquito.
Bang out!
Luo Yunyang felt that something was broken. Suddenly his vision blurred and he almost fainted.
