Lu Chen looked at the system notification with an amazed look. Immediately he went to the blacksmith house near his own house. Lu Chen's parents are dead, killed by the evil soul masters in the forest while searching for herbs. If it isn't for the spirit hall arriving in time, the holy soul village may also have been devoured.
As for Tang Hao, he just glanced and left. He didn't care about the lives of commoners in holy soul village. Lu Chen witnessed this and also understood, this isn't a game or he isn't some kind of mc here. This is his second life and he needs to utilize this to the fullest.
There is no good or bad. No justice or injustice. This universe runs by the law of jungle. Weak are prey, while the strong rule. So Lu Chen tried all kinds of ways to grow stronger. But since he is poor, he isn't able to get stronger. He is only able to grow slightly stronger than his peers.
As for asking and following Tang San. Even if he wants to, Tang San won't accept him. When Lu Chen saw Tang San practicing throwing techniques once, Lu Chen asked Tang San if he can learn them. But Tang San with a cold face and murdurous eyes said," why should I teach you? What would I get in return? Your loyalty? That's no value to me. You got nothing to offer and you'll just become a leech ".
Well, what Tang San said isn't wrong. Lu Chen indeed got nothing. In the past 5 years, one experience after another made him realize something. No one is wrong in this world as long as you're strong enough to overwrite anything. There are no morals or anything. It's just the opinions of strong that rule the continent.
Lu Chen didn't hate Tang San. Even after reading all the 5 Douluo novels. In fact he felt enlightened. He won't judge whether this guy is good or not. Let's put it like this. If you're in a high level position where everyone fear and admire you, if there are variables that may threaten your position and power, something that can potentially become a threat and can stand against you with potential same as you or even higher, will you let it grow.
No, this is the fact in this world masked by righteousness of everyone. Modern society is completely different from this one. We cannot apply morals of ours here in this world. Because this world recognizes strength and fear them. Unlike modern society where no special powers exist. Winners can rewrite what happened while losers perish and painted as villians.
So Lu Chen put aside his mind set from past life and started focusing on strength. Lu Chen didn't try approach Tang San any further, in Tang San's eyes there is only ally or enemy. If you're not an ally and can't become a useful tool, then you're an enemy and also Tang San won't hesitate make him disappear. Afterall he is an expert assassin in his past life. So Lu Chen didn't try to approach Tang San and instead tried his own efforts. Tang San disdain whenever Lu Chen is training, because the methods are crude. The meditation is just meditation and it always has a limit. Unlike Mysterious heaven skill, he can't cultivate properly. He can only use some reference from manga and others he remembered and do something based on them.
Lu Chen will soon become 6 years old and the martial soul awakening ceremony will also appear. At this time while he is contemplating his system appeared. So Lu Chen is planning to approach Tang San again, this time not for asking training but to bind him and plunder from him. Once he is bound, Lu Chen can plunder from this guy anywhere in douluo world. Lu Chen stretched his hands and approached the house of Tang Hao. He is carrying some rusted iron things with him.
As Lu Chen entered the house, he saw the dirty pots and messy floor. Tang Hao is hitting an iron ingot. He didn't even turn to Lu Chen asked," brat, if you have something ask directly. If you don't then get out ", Lu Chen saw Tang San making porridge in a corner. Lu Chen asked the system to bind Tang San.
[ 01:00 ]
Lu Chen said while showing the rusty iron things," uncle, can you get this rusty things to normal ", Tang Hao said while still hitting the iron," That'll be 5 coppers kid. Can you afford it ", Lu Chen said," then can you refine some of these and refine a dagger for me ", Tang Hao said impatiently," then it'll be 7 coppers. No negotiation, agree or get out ", Lu Chen said," can't you reduce the price a little uncle Hao ", Tang San turned again and frowned at Lu Chen.
Tang Hao said," boy don't waste my time. If you didn't bring those things, then it would have been more. I'm even offering a less price considering your age. Take it or leave ". Lu Chen tried to bargain seeing the timer but Tang San said," my father already said either take that price or leave. Don't waste his time ", yeah again the cold eye treatment with a hint of irritation.
[ 00:10 ]
" Okay, I agree ", Lu Chen said. Tang San said," then place them here and leave ", seeing the timer, Lu Chen pretend they're heavy and moved slowly before placing them around a corner. He then turned to Tang Hao and asked," can i know when the dagger will be finished uncle Hao? ", Tang Hao said," a week kid. now get out of my house unless you want this hammer at your face ", Lu Chen stretched and saw the countdown hit 0. He then walked out of the house while Tang Hao muttered," this kid brought this many tools just for a dagger. I don't know if he is stupid or ignorant. what are you doing? cook the porridge ".
