Wei Jun felt empowerment beyond his expectations. He felt energized as the energy settled in his body. The feeling welled from his abdomen but it did nothing to his abdomen. Instead, he could feel the energy infusing with his body and after a few minutes, it was as if it disappeared.

Wei Jun was about to move on after being energized, thinking that it was over from the system when another set of notifications appeared before him.

[You have destroyed an opportunity of Run Long]

[Your level has increased by 4]

[You are now level 15]

Wei Jun was confused as he didn't know what he had done to receive the level-ups instead of killing the beef man because killing the rest didn't get him anything.

[The answer might lie in the next volumes]

Wei Jun's conclusion was also the same. Wei Jun's cultivation level was the peak of the second stage of Qi cultivation, the Qi gathering realm. The beef man was also at the same stage so maybe both of them had a feud in the future and Run Long ended up benefitting from it.

It was still in theory and Wei Jun wasn't sure about it before reading the next volume which he now could. Wei Jun decided to check his status before he finished this.

[Strength: 27]

[Stamina: 29]

[Agility: 26]

[Defense: 23]

[Qi: 0]

[Charm: 28]

[Luck: 5]

Wei Jun's defense had taken a giant leap and it was now almost the same as his other physical stats. Wei Jun didn't feel any sturdier though but he was guessing that the defense stat would reduce the damage received. He didn't know how that worked or if it even worked like that because for now, everything he had was just theoretical.

Finished, Wei Jun turned to examine the scene. He checked the time and it was almost twelve minutes before the start of this incident but not a single car had been seen on the highway. It could only mean that someone influential or in this field was blocking the traffic.

His best guess was it was someone in the government field. But the problem was that even that could only be done to an extent. Even the mayor could only block traffic for a short amount of time so he knew that soon, the traffic would resume and someone would report this. Before that happened, he needed to destroy every evidence of his involvement.

Hurriedly Wei Jun went over to his car or what was left of it. Wei Jun took off the damaged plates and opened the car door. Wei Jun struck a C-4 explosive inside before doing the same to the outside. He then did the same to the truck and the SUV but only from the outside because there were no fingerprints of his on them.

He was worried that if the police somehow managed to procure his fingerprints from the car, they would be able to trace this incident back to him.

He was only doing this as a preventive measure because he didn't know if his fingerprints had been registered in the police database or not. Given the habits of the previous Wei Jun, it would be surprising if he hadn't been arrested before.

Wei Jun planted the explosive and then distanced himself from the site before he detonated the bombs.

BOOOMMM!!!

A resounding voice spread in the surroundings which Wei Jun was sure the entire city heard. Even if someone was blocking the traffic before, they won't be able to now. Wei Jun got off the highway and entered the woods to avoid being captured on the highway.

======

By the time Wei Jun arrived at his home, it was already almost dawn. Wei Jun snuck inside his own villa so that even the guard at the gate couldn't spot him. Once he was inside, he recalled the battle he had just before while he showered. He almost died but the gains of just this one battle were more than his efforts over the last month in the gym.

Another thing he realized was the importance of Qi. The man who was lower than him in stats could throw him like a ragdoll was an astonishment in itself. Wei Jun knew there was no winning in that fight had it not been for the sniper which almost snapped his arm off.

Another thing he realized was his mistake. Had he taken care of the man when there wasn't a pesky Qi barrier protecting him, Wei Jun wouldn't have gotten to the near-death point.

Once he was done analyzing the battle, he finally focused on the last and the most important part. The second volume of the novel. Wei Jun wanted to level up and he could only do so by hindering Run Long's growth and to do so, he needed to take things away that would make Run Long strong.

Also, he needed to know how to start on Lin Ruan because no other opportunity had represented itself in Quan Li's case for now.

"Okay, now send the second volume of this illogical sh*t to my mind to rot." Wei Jun said with clear distaste in his voice.

[Understood, host]

[Brace yourself or I should be saying that to myself]

"What's that supposed to mean?" Wei Jun asked and instead of a reply, he had a lot of information flooded into his head.

After the information transfer was finished, Wei Jun just stood still. He didn't comment about anything he read in the novel because just saying it sounded like reliving it. He was already hesitant to even remember it for the sake of sanity so he decided to recall only information useful to him and decided to ignore all the unreasonable cr*p in the novel.

"So we have only one physical opportunity while the main plot of Lin Ruan begins in this volume." Wei Jun concluded as he came out of the shower and dried himself.

[What will you do about Lin Ruan, host?]

[Killing her doesn't seem to benefit you in any way]

'What kind of a person do you think I am? I don't kill indiscriminately without a reason.' Wei Jun replied in his head this time because he wasn't in the confines of his shower. The last thing he wanted was to be known as someone who talks to himself.

[Then what will you do after you suck her dry?]

'…'

[Of experience]

Wei Jun ignored the sarcastic wordplay and replied, "Lin Ruan seems to be a girl with a good head on her shoulder. As a business partner, she would be of great help."

Wei Jun made many plans regarding Lin Ruan in an instant and the first and foremost of them was to prevent the contact of Lin Ruan and Run Long. But that wasn't going to come anytime soon so he decided to ignore that. For now, it was time to hit the gym.

======

The gym session at dawn began and everyone witnessed agape at what Wei Jun was doing. The acting team's jaws were on the floor because of a shirtless individual who was lifting weights that even ten well-built men might not be able to lift.

Even Lao Chen was astonished because even a cultivator at the Qi Gathering realm wouldn't be able to easily lift that amount of weight.

As for Wei Jun, 'Fu*k. It's difficult.'

He thought that now that his stats were increased by a lot, listing 200 kilograms wouldn't be a problem but just two reps and he was done. His muscles were aching and he knew he wouldn't be able to achieve much with this weight so he decided to lower it by fifty kilograms before he continued his exercise.

He didn't gain anything but he could feel his muscles burning so he was sure he would achieve something in a few days at least.

When he finished his exercise of weightlifting, he noticed no one else was doing anything. He was about to yell when he remembered his conversation with Xia Lu yesterday. He felt a little uncomfortable yelling at her for a reason unknown.

"Get back to your work." Wei Jun simply said before he moved on to the other stuff because the run had to be done with everyone. Of course, where everyone ran three laps, Wei Jun could do almost thirty times that in the same timeframe.

"All right! Listen up!" Wei Jun addressed the sprawled-out people on the ground, huffing and breathing for their dear lives.

"Today is the scene with the villain and the heroine and that's where the main focus would be. You are all to come to the set and observe the shooting with us. Understood?" Wei Jun explained and when he asked, all he received were heavy breaths so he opted to take that as a yes.
