My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

Chen Yu dusted off his hands with satisfaction and turned to leave.

He estimated that when he returned tomorrow night, he'd find a pile of shit that could replicate skills.

"I'm simply a genius at being thrifty and thoughtful."

Following the night, he made his way back to the off-road vehicle at the end of the road.

Chen Yu stretched lazily, opened the car door, and sat inside.

He started the vehicle expertly, then suddenly raised the shovel in his hand and violently stabbed it into the car's undercarriage!

"Crack!"

The undercarriage of the off-road vehicle cracked open, splattering a trace of blood!

The next moment, the entire vehicle flew into the air.

"Boom—"

The more than two-ton off-road vehicle landed heavily, stirring up dust.

Chen Yu had already jumped out of the car and was standing by the roadside, emotionlessly watching the severely injured figure.

"How... how did you find me..." The figure struggled to rise, pale-faced, clutching their bleeding abdomen tightly.

"A Transcendent of a higher level I wouldn't notice, but one of the same level, I would overlook?" Chen Yu scoffed coldly.

"Impossible!" The figure hissed through clenched teeth, "You're clearly an F-grade student!"

Without answering, Chen Yu flexed his muscles and slowly approached, "Who sent you?"

"...Go to hell!"

The figure, fierce yet inwardly panicking, suddenly erupted with supernatural ability, contorting into a serpentine form as they lunged at Chen Yu.

"It really is the Li Family."

In the assassin's horrified gaze, Chen Yu also twisted into a snake form, dodging the attack. At that instant, his shovel shone with a blue light, delivering a ruthless sweep!

"Pfft—"

A round head, propelled by blood pressure and formidable force, rolled far away.

"..."

"Thump."

The corpse fell to the ground.

The blue light on Chen Yu's shovel faded.

Judging from the fluctuations of the assassin's abilities, Chen Yu determined that their Defying Fate Skill was also about four layers.

But the prior serious injury and the unexpected encounter with supernatural ability meant the assassin couldn't fully utilize their strength.

And he beheaded them in one strike.

Of course, based on Chen Yu's current estimate of his own strength, even if it was a "fair one-on-one," the opponent wouldn't last ten rounds.

"Excellent. Another one has arrived."

With the shovel tucked under his armpit, Chen Yu joyfully hoisted the Li Family assassin's corpse and ran towards the "field" in West Mountain...

At this moment, his hatred for the Capital the Li Family had completely vanished.

These days, the global economic environment was on a downturn.

Finding such an excellent "angel investor" was already quite rare.

It was foreseeable that as more and more assassins failed and fell, the Li Family would surely send even more formidable assassins to fuel his growth.

Society is just so marvelous.

Those who appear to be kind to you are often setting you up.

And those who seem to be setting you up might actually be the ones truly benefiting you...

An hour and a half later.

Chen Yu finished processing the "new crop."

He was fortunate to acquire a very nice skill: [(D+ Grade) (Green) Blade Mastery: Stab, thrust, slash, sweep... chop, flick, push, cut. Thirteen techniques of blade mastery have all been mastered.]

[Copy the skill... omit]

[...]

[Confirm copy]

The warm sensation of copying the skill arose and then dissipated.

With shovel in hand, he performed several sets of quite professional blade flourishes.

Chen Yu placed the corpse into the grave and dug another new pit as a reserve.

Only then did he pick up the shovel, pat the wild dog's head, and leave the grave site contentedly, heading toward the off-road vehicle.

As he walked, he mused.

"I finally understand the joy of games like Harvest Moon..."

After twenty minutes.

He returned to the location of Hecheng's former southern gate.

Chen Yu saw that next to his overturned off-road vehicle, there were unexpectedly two more figures!

"Great!"

Chen Yu was shocked: "Are you not letting me sleep tonight?"

He immediately slowed his pace.

Clutching the shovel tightly in both hands, he bent his body and slowly crept toward the backs of the two figures.

But when he got within a hundred meters, one of the figures noticed something, drew a long knife from his waist, turned around, and looked at Chen Yu.

He yelled, "Who's there?"

'This person is quite strong.'

To discover him from a hundred meters away meant that the individual's Body Refinement Secret Skill was at least above four layers.

Higher than his current level.

But just a hundred meters also showed that the individual wasn't much higher than him.

They were still within his "dining" range.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu no longer hid. He straightened up and faced the figure.

"Who are you," the figure asked in a low voice.

"I was about to ask the same thing," Chen Yu responded.

"We mean no harm. We're just passing by," the figure maintained his stance with the drawn sword. "We saw a car here and wanted to see if we could fix it and maybe drive it. Is the car yours?"

"Yes," Chen Yu nodded, showing his car keys, "It's my car. What did you do to my car? How did it flip over?"

The figure said, "When we found it, it was already flipped over."

Chen Yu: "Is that so, I don't believe you."

The figure: "..."

"Forget it. I won't ask for much. Just pay eighty thousand, and the car is yours."

"I'm sorry, I don't have that much money," the figure sheathed his knife and bowed to Chen Yu, "Besides, the hole in the car's undercarriage matches the shape of your shovel."

"Ah..."

Chen Yu was slightly embarrassed, hiding the shovel behind him, "Then I might have remembered wrong. Alright, you don't have to compensate. Just go."

The figure hesitated, probing, "The car's front suspension is broken, and the engine is also severely damaged. Do you still want it?"

"Of course," Chen Yu approached and examined the off-road vehicle's condition.

He noticed that the hood was open and the left front wheel had been removed.
