Chapter 7 First of all, we need a shot of...

  "Sold! If you have the ability." Du Fei gritted his teeth, shouting loudly in his heart. For the goddess, it was just a matter of feeling that way, living a few days less wasn't a big deal...

  "May I ask, who exactly are you?"

  "Whatever... just think of me as a mysterious merchant." Nine Lives shrugged and said casually, "Anyway, you're either lucky or unlucky. If it were someone else, I wouldn't even bother looking for them. Don't regret it later."

  In the midst of Du Fei's astonishment, he retreated several steps after nine lives. His body had actually passed through the window. Dazed for a moment, he suddenly rushed down and looked out the window that was opened downwards, but couldn't find any trace of the other person.

  "What the...! Du Fei, what are you doing at this late hour?"

  The noise he made was a bit louder, causing his roommate to murmur drowsily.

  "It's... nothing, just a nightmare." Du Fei let out a long sigh and sat back down, still feeling a bit unreal about it all. Who was that guy anyway? How did he find him, and what did he mean by trading lives? How could someone take away a life?

  Of course, it can be taken away. As long as it is a willing transaction between you and me, the rules of the mysterious shop will take effect. He used his life to buy something from the hands of Jiu Ming, as long as both parties agree, that is considered a fair trade in the mysterious shop...

  The original power can be said to be able to transform into anything, and this thing called vitality can also do so. The mysterious shop does the reverse transformation, no matter what, the reverse transformation must be more difficult than the normal transformation?

  Alright, this isn't something that Jiǔ Mìng needs to worry about now, he can't even touch that level, as for what the Origin Power is, he doesn't have a clear understanding of it either, just a rough idea.

  Is it like "Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three"?

  Firstly, he needs a camera.

  "Hey! How's everyone? Do you need me for a group fight?"

  "Ah?!" Under the dark night, the two groups of people who were ready to draw their swords and bows suddenly dispersed the heavy atmosphere, and looked towards this outsider who was seeking death.

  "Don't be surprised, I'm just here to help." He raised his hands in a gesture of innocence, ignoring the malicious gazes from both groups. It was clear that these two groups were preparing for a midnight brawl over territory, and even in a world with superpowers, such things couldn't be avoided.

  It's also lucky for me to have met someone like that, so it's easy to say.

  "First of all I'm quite capable of fighting, which one of you would let me join?"

  "Neurosis!"

  "What kind of madman is this?!"

  It's obvious that Jiǔ Mìng's unimposing appearance made his words lack credibility.

  "Get out! Get out! Get out! If you stay here for a moment longer, I'll kill you!!"

  "Think about it, it's very cheap, three thousand yuan and I'll help either of you take care of the other?" Nine Lives sighed and said, but what responded to him was a brick that some unknown guy had casually thrown over...

  The brick passed through Jiu Ming's body.

  "Abnormals?" The two groups reacted quickly, and someone immediately jumped out, "Do you want to intervene? Do you know the rules?!"

  "Even if you're an Esper, you shouldn't interfere with this matter, or else you'll be the one who suffers!" Another group of people also jumped out, and both sides suddenly had a sense of camaraderie in their hostility...

  "No matter if you know the rules or not, I'll give you 4,000! Just as long as you're willing to take action!"

  "Alright! I don't really agree with this rule thing, but since I promised, it's fine." Jiǔ Mìng nodded and smiled, curling up the corners of his mouth. What was a rule anyway? He would just do it this once.

  "Damn it! You're so despicable!!" Another group of people stared at their enemy in shock, how could they be so shameless? "Fuck! Hurry up and call someone!"

  Seeing Jiuming had made his move, those people suddenly panicked. The one who was shouting loudly saw stars in front of his eyes and found Jiuming standing right in front of him, with a light tap on the back of his neck. After a series of slapping sounds, they saw Jiuming standing to the side, clapping his hands together. "What's going on? Pay up... Hey! Why are you running?"

  When he turned his head, the other group of people had already run away, leaving only a few shadows. He didn't even think about chasing after them. Forget it, just consider it a good deed to have stopped a bloody fight. After all, both groups were holding weapons that could harm people, and if they had fought, who knows how many would have ended up in the hospital? He had only knocked them unconscious, and by tomorrow, there probably wouldn't be any side effects.

  "Cell phone... okay, this thing will do." After rummaging through a few phones, Jiǔ Mìng picked the one with the best pixels and put it away. The technology in this world was much more advanced than in his previous life, and after inserting the SIM card, Jiǔ Mìng felt that he could even go back and take revenge now.

  It was only when he returned to Changhe College again that he saw the guard here seemed to have been upgraded, shook his head, and the high-ranking guardian beside the school flower did not find him, but found some unusual places, tsk, really a sharp person.

  He touched his cheek, that person's superpower should be related to the wind, and even able to feel **'s change, it was this point that almost made the other party discover himself, but how could the other party think that he would come back again?

  Once you've got what you want, nothing else matters.

  Carrying a mobile phone, Jiǔ Mìng can no longer use the very convenient wall-penetrating method, and after evading the guards in the college, Jiǔ Mìng has found the location of Changhe College's campus belle, and smoothly sneaked in.

  "Hmm, so it's a girl after all. That makes sense, if it were a guy, he wouldn't be able to stay up all night like that, and the school beauty inside wouldn't be able to sleep either." Muttering to himself, Jiǔ Mìng continued on his way after the female guard had passed by.

  "Is the door half open? Is it a trick or is it specifically to scare me?" However, it's useless for me. With a light smile, without the constraints of a weak body, Jiǔ Mìng feels that he has become much more active, as if making up for the lack of exercise in the past. In short, he can't stay idle.

  She could be the school flower, with a stunning appearance that wouldn't disappoint. That head of soft, long hair with a hint of pale blue was especially captivating. He tapped his chin, gazing at the girl 'sleeping' there, and Nine Lives smiled lightly, unsure what he was smiling about, as he picked up his phone which had been set to camera mode beforehand.

  Burst mode...

  Hehehe!

  Oh no! It seems I forgot to turn off the sound!

  The girl who was sleeping soundly there furrowed her brow tightly and raised her hand, a single icicle pierced through the quilt.

  "Miscalculation, miscalculation. But you don't have to pretend to sleep anymore, do you?" The sound of the phone's continuous shooting didn't stop, Jiǔ Mìng took a slight step back, reached out and grabbed the ice spike, his hand shook, and the entire ice spike turned into shattered ice.

  "Who are you!" Zhou Jing retreated to one side, vigilantly staring at Jiu Ming. When she tried to get a clear look at his face, there was a thin veil covering it, making it blurry and unclear. The most important thing was that the camera on this guy's phone showed no signs of stopping!

  "As you can see, paparazzi."

  "Hmph." Zhou Jing sneered, thinking for a moment that this might be someone hired by some rich kid, but the guy's performance was too over-the-top. "Paparazzi don't have skills like this, are you done taking pictures yet!!"

  "Huh? Not yet, wait a bit..." Jiǔ Mìng said, slightly tilting his head to the side. The strong gust of wind that blew past directly crushed the phone in his hand into pieces. With two fingers pinched together, he managed to grab the memory card from the shattered remains and held it firmly in his palm.

  "Big Sister Lan!" she cried out, and with a wave of her hands, the bedroom was filled with a thick chill. The chill had just appeared when it suddenly swirled together, enveloping the Nine Lives within.

  His body, covered in ice crystals, shook for a moment, and the entire crystal surface was instantly filled with fine cracks. After breaking free, he didn't entangle himself, swinging his fist to shatter the wind blades that chased after him. The school flower's ability was more troublesome than the wind system ability behind him. The ice restraint on him was not small, it wasn't that he couldn't fight back, but rather Jiǔ Mìng didn't want to entangle himself further.

  His combat skills were all honed through the mysterious shop's training and slaughter, not holding back in a fight, this was also his first 'real' battle. Originally not intending to hurt anyone, Jiǔ Mìng didn't bother entangling with her, it would be more suitable to deal with someone stronger than him who had wind system abilities.

  "What kind of person is he..." The woman who was called Lan Jie when she shattered the Nine Lives Wind Blade with a close-range attack, looked at him clearly. A flesh-based ability user? Can't let him get close.

  Close combat? Of course, it's necessary. Jiǔ Mìng doesn't have many long-range means, most of his fighting ability is martial arts type. He cleverly dodged Lan Jie's attack and immediately turned around to retreat. Zhou Jing's counterattacking ice thorn was either dodged or shattered by him.

  As he approached Zhou Jing, a layer of frost suddenly appeared on the ground beneath his feet. He slightly raised an eyebrow - this girl isn't bad at all; her pre-set attack was hidden so well...

  Crack!

  In Zhou Jing's stunned gaze, the solid floor appeared with large cracks, and the explosive ice energy that was about to erupt was also trampled and scattered by Jiǔ Mìng's violent stomp.

  "How could this be?"

  "Halt!" Lan Jie was afraid that Jiǔ Mìng would take action against Zhōu Jìng, now that she knew it was a conspiracy, she also wanted to rush up and stop Jiǔ Mìng. As expected, after she acted, Jiǔ Mìng had already turned around at an even faster speed. The high-speed rotating wind shield was directly torn apart under the force of the opponent's exploding palm knife, just a flash of light, Lan Jie felt a cold hand on her neck, and with just one twist... it was all over.

  "Goodbye"

  The sharp pain had just appeared and was gone like a receding tide, the lingering sound with a hint of mockery in her ear brought Lan back to her senses. Wasn't she supposed to be dead?

  Rubbed his neck, it was a bit sore, and there were still several finger marks on top.

  "Lan sister, are you okay?" Zhou Jing quickly closed the door, afraid that Jiumeng would come back again. When she saw the finger marks on Lan's neck, her heart beat a little faster. Who was that person?

  "It's okay, they spared me." Lan sister said with a sigh, touching her own neck with lingering fear.

  Alas, as expected, almost didn't hold back, shook his own palm, and was discovered. Nine lives simply didn't hide their tracks, swaggering out, and it was quite smooth all the way. After going out, a big net came down on his head, so fast that Nine Lives immediately fell into the trap. That's what I said, not smooth at all!

  At the moment when the big net swooped down, Jiǔ Mìng's empty hands touched it and with a burst of force, he twisted his wrist. The falling speed of the entire big net slowed down, and with Jiǔ Mìng's palm as the center, it was stirred away. It was really solid and surprisingly didn't break!
