Haze and mist swirled around the massive mountains, blanketing the Su River in a thick, murky veil. The faint image of a crude bamboo raft drifted along the river, tossed by the currents. Su Chen had taken an errand to deliver a message to Lou County. After completing his task, he was heading back to Gusu County City on a bamboo raft. Since it was downstream, he let the raft drift freely along the mist-shrouded river, moving toward the city’s direction. He sat cross-legged on the raft,…-

Su Chen and Ah Chou had their meal of snake soup at the dilapidated City God Temple. Afterward, they engaged in a sparring match to test their martial arts skills. Before they knew it, evening had arrived, and they finally called it a day. The two agreed to meet again in Gusu County City, so they parted ways after saying their goodbyes. Ah Chou, eager to get back to his carriage—which was worth several copper coins—hurried back to the city. Su Chen made his way back to the Medicine King…

The shadow was right before him, close enough to touch. Yet as soon as he quickened his pace, so did the shadow, and when he slowed down, it too slackened its speed. No matter how Ah Chou adjusted his speed or changed angles in his strikes, this shadow seemed to have eyes all over—always staying an inch out of his fists’ reach. “Why is this happening?! Why can’t I hit you?!” The more Ah Chou attacked, the more astonished and alarmed he became. He and Su Chen joined…

Su Chen watched as Ah Chou finished every bit of the medicinal snake soup in the clay pot, including the snake meat and dregs, before finally appearing satisfied. Over the past half year at the Heaven Falcon Group, Ah Chou had accumulated a considerable amount of internal injuries. After consuming this blood ginseng tonic, he would recover seventy to eighty percent of his injuries. With another month of rest and recuperation, he would be fully healed. From then on, when cultivating the Lower…

“Let’s catch a grass snake and make some snake soup. It’ll give us a nice boost!” After finishing his diagnosis for Ah Chou, Su Chen stood up and led the way, strolling around the farmlands near the City God Temple. He had spent three months at the rear of the Medicine King Estate, where every meal was just salted rice with pickled vegetables. His taste buds were practically crying for some variety. In no time at all, Su Chen spotted a fist-sized hole under a ridge. Reaching inside,…

“Oh, I just remembered! It’s you, the leader of the beggars! That day, you chased me down three streets, and I’ve been thinking about when to return the favor!” Su Chen spotted the most imposing figure in the group of beggars—a square-faced young man—and immediately recognized him. He smiled, showing no signs of fear. When he arrived in Gusu County City from Zhou Village, a penniless wanderer on the streets, he was mistaken by the young beggar as someone encroaching on their territory.…

Deep in the eastern outskirts, an abandoned City God Temple stood with its door slightly ajar. Inside, the temple was in disarray—offerings and incense stands lay scattered on the ground, covered in spider webs and heaps of straw. A few mice were hiding under the shattered remains of the altar, their starving bodies almost skeletal, with greenish eyes glinting. A group of over ten ragged, dirty-faced beggars had gathered within. They were discussing an important matter that could change their…

Ah Chou saw that he couldn’t hide anything from Su Chen. His eyes welled up with tears, and he burst into a heart-wrenching cry, collapsing to the ground in floods of sorrow. Since joining the Heaven Falcon Group half a year ago, he had endured so much cruelty. But there was no one to confide in; the bitterness and anguish he felt could only be swallowed down and bottled up inside. After giving vent to his grief, Ah Chou finally managed to suppress his tears and recounted the events of…

Su Chen returned from the rear mountain and went to the Errand Hall compound to exchange his token for a junior executive one. Even with his new title, he was still considered a menial worker, but this new rank placed him slightly above the bottom of the barrel. With it came a small privilege: henceforth, he could select his own errand duties instead of being randomly assigned tasks by mid- and senior-level executives. This newfound convenience allowed Su Chen to choose roles that offered…
