Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Dreaded System Upgrade

The sound of a chainsaw echoed from inside the room.
Chu Sheng, however, remained nonchalant upon hearing it. What was it, other than a nightmare?
She was going to wake up anyway.
Ten minutes later, miserable wails rang out from inside the detention cell.
The news of Chu Sheng's death arrived at noon the next day.
Li Zhengyu brought her lunch, which consisted of the usual two dishes and a soup.
"Liu Yun's case has been closed."
Seito keenly noticed that when they looked at him, their gazes carried a faint, icy wariness.
While thanking him in a stiff tone for steadying her when she almost "collapsed," Kinoshita Mai looked at Sanako, who sat back down in her seat with an expression of utter indifference.
As soon as Su Yue left, Shang Mo received the word. Without saying much, he directly instructed Uncle Chen to make sure he went back to cook lunch for Su Yue at noon, and then immersed himself back into his work.
Ah Hao still had no idea how this mummy had resurrected, letionali that its resurrection had been meticulously calculated and planned.

Although worn on the wrist and held in the hand, the object felt insignificant and remarkably light, yet its value was... unimaginable.
He Yongchang leaped high, caught the Phantom Demon Vessel, glanced briefly at Niu Ben suspended in the air, and then gritted his teeth as he sprinted toward the mountain depression.
"Look at that, wouldn't it have been easier just to do this from the start? You just had to force me to summon my fox immortal," Liu Hanzhi nodded earnestly.
The child-like mentality of "I'll treat whoever treats me well" still lingered within her consciousness.
Originally, he had only intended to bring along Alan, but if this middle-aged man in front of him were to tag along as well, success would truly be guaranteed.
"I will unleash my ultimate technique the moment the ice wall shatters. That will be your only chance to attack!" Esdeath said coldly.
Mother He looked with utmost satisfaction at He Yehua and her newly wedded daughter-in-law. Finally, everything had turned out just as she wished.
Jiang Mingchen took a deep breath. If he had stepped into this corridor just now, he probably would have been trapped by the two stone walls and poisoned to death by the released toxic fumes. The mechanisms and hidden weapons in this corridor were indeed formidable.
Military rations and provisions were among the most classified of secrets. Aside from the enemy, even soldiers of insufficient rank within their own army could not know the specific details.
With a single palm strike, Xiao Zhengrong clutched his fist and let out a miserable scream, while Duan Zhong also grabbed his chest and staggered back a few steps. This exchange had been evenly matched, with each taking a blow from the other.
Huang Xing called out softly a couple of times, "Is anyone upstairs? Is anyone upstairs?" Still, there was no reply from above.

Liao Shishan and his men were people they had seen before; during the siege, their imposing and formidable bearing was beyond description.
The incessant, roaring voice of Gonggong Xing still echoed inside the hall, unrelenting like the drifting snow.
Jiang Hao knew that if he did not confess everything to her now, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life. He would no longer run away, but instead confess all his faults.
Ever since he took up the trade of assassination, his diet had been light. Suddenly tasting such a wild, piercing heat, his throat was instantly scorched, and his tongue felt as though countless ants were crawling across it.
Wang Haitao took the thick stack of papers and sat on the sofa, reading them one by one. The price quoted by Carlowitz & Co. was the amount after deducting the advance payment made by the Japanese side; the total price, including the goods previously purchased from Carlowitz & Co., came to 1.36 million US dollars, which converted to approximately 5.8 million Japanese yen.
"I had no idea this guy actually rushed a Red Rod. Had I known, I would have built a Magic Resistance item straight away. Let's see whose mana outlasts whose." Glancing at these comments, the young man curled his lip, dropped the subject, and decisively scrolled back up to the video section at the very top.
"You're courting death!" Just as he closed the system panel, a loud roar rang out beside Chen Fan's ear.
People outside all said that the Crown Prince held this Crown Prince's Consort in extremely high regard and loved her dearly, and that this was done to afford her honor; otherwise, once the grand wedding ceremony concluded, it would simply be over.
