[Name: Levi Mojito (Chung Shen-soo)]
[Bartending: Novice]
[Tenxiu Point: 188 (2%)]
[Door of All Doors: To be opened]
…
Inside the birch forest.
A bloody man lay beside Chung Shen-soo. He opened his stats window with his mind, and a strange glow appeared on his face.
"The Tenxiu Point was lost because of the healing. Bartending is actually recognized as a skill in the stats window. Although it's only Novice, that Levi Mojito obviously spent a lot of effort to practice it.
"This world … should have extraordinary powers, but why do I feel that the Qi of Heaven and Earth is different from before …"
He closed his eyes for a long time, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
"Perhaps the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this world is expressed in another form, such as magic? Does this mean that I can't refine the Qi of Heaven and Earth and recover my abilities? "
Actually, even if he could recover, Chung Shen-soo was not willing to spend Tenxiu Point.
He traveled between worlds to harvest, not to expend it.
According to his previous experiences, he should first actively integrate into the world and experience the different systems and paths of the other world. Perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
"Martial abilities … Forget it, this should work, but it's too costly. It's not too late to add points when it's really dangerous."
At this moment, Chung Shen-soo heard a moan from the scar-faced man beside him.
Although this guy's vitals were not injured, there was a big hole in his body after being hit by a bullet. He had only been bandaged briefly before moving so far. He was already bleeding non-stop, and looked like he was about to die.
In the hazy moonlight, Chung Shen-soo's vision blurred. He seemed to see a translucent soul about to leave the scar-faced man's body.
That was his soul!
"Eh? What's so special about this body that I can see souls with the naked eye? "
Chung Shen-soo was slightly surprised, and then he made a guess about himself. "Is it because of the [Herder] ability? Why didn't it happen in the previous two worlds? Is it because this world is more suitable for this kind of power? On top of that … [Herder] isn't a divine ability talisman or a physical ability. It's more inclined towards the soul, which is why it can move with the true spirit? "
He had a feeling that in this world, if he used Tenxiu Point to unlock Martial Path and Herder's ability, the latter would consume less energy.
'Moreover, I don't even need to use the Tenxiu System. I can just follow this inspiration and train more, and I'll be able to explore some special abilities. It's just like in other worlds, practicing martial arts to get back my martial arts. It's the most economical way.'
However, at that moment, Chung Shen-soo couldn't care less.
He saw that the scar-faced man's Spirit was about to leave his body. His body began to stiffen, and he exhaled one last breath. Thinking of experimenting, he reached out his hand and gently pushed.
The scarred Spirit Soul was expressionless, but it was pushed back into its body.
Scarface coughed and his body twitched.
Chung Shen-soo's eyes flickered. He immediately started to treat the wound and bandage it carefully.
Half an hour later, Scarface opened his eyes. "Li Wei … you saved me?"
There was something wrong with the way he addressed him.
Chung Shen-soo felt a little strange. He thought of the [Herder] ability, but he didn't herd Scarface's soul.
'Maybe … I just left a little influence when I came into contact with him. It's like a very deep psychological hint.
'With this kind of hint and the favor of saving my life, it's not a big problem to gain a loyal follower.'
This was also why Chung Shen-soo had to help Scarface.
"It's me. Are you okay?"
Chung Shen-soo turned around and smiled brightly.
His body was quite handsome. He had short brown hair, blue eyes, sharp facial features, and a high nose bridge. He had the temperament of a model.
"Previously … I felt like I was dying …"
Scarface's lips were chapped, and he murmured in a daze, "But at the most critical moment, I seemed to see you, and I came back to life … I think everything that happened has a meaning …"
'Is this guy hypnotizing himself? There's no hope for him … '
Chung Shen-soo secretly rolled his eyes and thought for a while. "You better find a place to hide. I'll go find some medicine and food for you …"
"I know a hunter's hut nearby. I even rested there when I was chopping trees!"
Scarface smiled.
…
Byron City was west of Baltimore Harbor. It took half a day to travel by horse carriage.
Chung Shen-soo walked for most of the night and the morning. He finally entered the city area at noon. He walked a few streets and came to a slum.
There were low-rise houses, dilapidated streets, and dirty and smelly sewers.
A few dirty boys in caps and grey jackets squatted at the corner of the street. They glanced at Chung Shen-soo, and when they realized that he was someone they knew, they all looked regretful.
They were all cheats on this street. They stole for a living, and they all had gangsters behind them.
If it was a stranger who revealed that he was rich, he would have to be careful of his wallet.
These cheats were not only pickpockets. When necessary, they could cut other things with their knives.
Chung Shen-soo secretly recalled Li Wei's memories and came to a shack.
This section of the street was full of such buildings. The row houses were divided into small and narrow rooms, which were rented to the poor and craftsmen who could not afford the high rent in other areas.
Of course, the living conditions were poor. There was no separate bathroom. His two sisters, Carmela and Jennifer, had always complained about this.
Chung Shen-soo walked for a while and stopped in front of a door.
Before he could figure out where to get the key, the door of the house opened, revealing a messy floor, tables, chairs, and a small mountain of matchboxes behind him.
Two blonde girls, one 13 or 14 years old and the other younger, only 11 years old, were working hard to put stickers on the matchboxes.
Many children in the slums would find jobs that were within their means, from delivering newspapers, delivering milk, washing clothes, pasting matchboxes, to being a gang informant, to being a pickpocket … They would do anything but go to school.
The one who opened the door for Chung Shen-soo was a teenager who looked to be 15 or 16 years old. His facial features were similar to Li Wei's, but more immature.
This was Li Wei's younger brother, Jones. His other two sisters were called Carmela and Jennifer.
"You're late …"
Jones grumbled as he looked at Chung Shen-soo's empty hands. "There's no bread and butter at home …"
Earlier, Li Wei had bragged to his siblings that he had found a well-paid night job and had promised to bring bread and milk in the morning.
Clearly, he had failed to keep his promise.
"Something bad happened. To put it simply … I screwed up."
Chung Shen-soo flipped the pockets of his pants out and made a gesture of helplessness that he remembered from Li Wei's memory.
Jones sighed. He seemed to have confirmed this the moment he saw his brother. "There's not much money left at home. I want to work. I'm already 16 years old. Even if I work at the docks, I can still earn 10 cents a day … I want to earn money, I want to be rich!"
"Before that, I'm afraid you'll have to change your name first …"
Chung Shen-soo shrugged and made a joke that only he could understand. "How can I get rich if I die of poverty?"
