Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality

“Are you sure that the motorcycle thief is here?”

“Yes.”

Xu Bai nodded. He looked at the pawnshop, which was already in his line of sight, and walked over.

Seeing this, Su Meng wanted to ask further, but upon seeing Xu Bai walking in front of her and entering the pawnshop, she quickly put away her thoughts and followed closely behind him.

In the pawnshop.

As soon as Su Meng came in, she heard a hearty laugh. She followed the sound and saw her master hugging an old man with a white beard who looked like odd.

‘Wait a minute.’

This white-bearded old man…

He was a trascendent.

Su Meng blinked.

She was no longer an ordinary person. She had transcended mortality overnight. Now, she was a genuine Foundation Establishment Realm trascendent.

“Good lord, you really came. Do you really intend to take me as your master?”

“What?”

Zhu Cong’s face fell, and even the enthusiasm on his face disappeared at a noticeable speed.

‘Are you messing with me?’

Zhu Cong’s expression gradually turned ugly as he stared at Xu Bai. To think that after that phone call, he had already bought six animals for Xu Bail s apprenticeship to prevent him from regretting his decision.

In the end..

He seemed to have slowed down again.

Zhu Cong’s enthusiasm instantly disappeared. He turned around and walked straight into the house.

“Sorry, I never cooperate with the police.”

“Haven’t you already cooperated with them once?”

Hearing this, Xu Bai shook his head speechlessly. However, he didn’t continue to pester Zhu Cong and instead said, “Let’s first get down to business, then we’ll talk about me.”

He had originally planned to come to Zhu Cong’s place after work this afternoon to discuss joining the Thief Sect.

After all, Bai had already considered this matter and made a decision.

Joining the Thief Sect was beneficial to the Cane Sect.

Zhu Cong stopped in his tracks when he heard Xu Bai’s words.

The next second.

He turned around.

He stared at Xu Bai.

“Do you really want to join our sect?”

“Of course.’

“Our Thief Sect doesn’t have a good reputation.”

“My reputation isn’t great in some aspects either. Moreover, God Thief, if I’m not from the Thief Sect, how can I be called God Thief?”

“Hahaha.”

As soon as Xu Bai finished speaking.

Instantly.

Joy filled Zhu Cong’s face once again. He laughed loudly and opened the door that he had locked from the inside. He walked out and looked Xu Bai up and down, as if he was admiring a rare treasure. “Good, good, our Thief Sect has hope of being revived.”

Su Meng, who was at the side, was stunned once again.

Su Meng looked at Zhu Cong, who was admiring Xu Bai while falling into a state of fantasy. She couldn’t help but lower her head and count with her nimble fingers. Then, she looked up in disbelief at the joyful Zhu Cong. “I know who you are. You are the leader of the heretical path, the sect master of the Thief Sect, the amazing Zhu Cong.”

Zhu Cong, who had been fantasizing about Xu Bai being his disciple for many years and getting what he wanted, was imagining Xu Bai joining the Thief Sect and taking over his mantle, turning the Thief Sect from a heretical sect to an immortal sect. Hearing Su Meng’s words, he returned to his senses and looked at Su Meng, who had been brought along Xu Bai.

In an instant.

Su Meng felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Zhu Cong’s gaze upon her. Just as she felt as if she had been seen naked, Xu Bai pulled her behind him.

Zhu Cong recovered from his shock. He stroked his white beard and looked at Su Meng, who was being protected by Xu Bai.

“From the Su family?” “Su Bancheng’s niece.”

“No wonder.”

Zhu Cong said and nodded. The next second, he changed the topic. “However, didn’t your uncle tell you not to show off your Heavenly Secrets Technique in front of the disciples of the Steal Sect?”

Su Meng blinked and shook her head.

Zhu Cong chuckled, but his expression shifted slightly. “That’s not right. The heavens are in chaos now. Can you still…” Before he could finish speaking.

A young girl’s voice sounded from outside.

“Grandpa, I completed the mission today ahead of time. I can…”

Zhu Nianyan, who was wearing smokey makeup and leather pants, entered happily. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xu Bai in the shop and was stunned.

In the next second.

Zhu Nianyan thought of something and felt guilty. She turned around and walked out.

“Wait…”

“Come here.”

“Sigh…”

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Nianyan, who had already stepped out of the door. He raised his right hand and slowly clenched it.

Star Picking.

Instantly.

Zhu Nianyan felt a strong false pulling her from behind. Before she could react, she realized that her little head had been grabbed by her natural enemy.

“Where’s the motorcycle?”

“What motorcycle?”

Zhu Nianyan responded without thought. Then, she reacted and hid behind Zhu Cong, asking for help,” Grandpa, he bullied me.”

Xu Bai smiled but didn’t say anything.

Su Meng looked at Zhu Nianyan who was hiding behind Zhu Cong and reacted, “You’re the one who stole my motorcycle.” This thought made Su Meng feel uneasy.

Her motorcycle.

She had only gotten it less than an hour ago, and before she could show it off, it turned out that the motorcycle had been stolen.

Most importantly…

It was stolen from the entrance of his own police station.

“Give me back my motorcycle.”

“I don’t even know you.”

Zhu Nianyan looked at the angry Su Meng and shook her head like a snake’s rattle. “What evidence do you have to say that I stole your motorcycle?”

“You still won’t admit? I saw you.” Su Meng was furious. “I saw you on the River of Destiny. You were the one who beat up the five motorcycle thieves and drove my motorcycle away.”

It all happened very quickly.

What Su Meng saw in the River of Destiny was real.

Zhu Nianyan shrugged.

“What River of Destiny? I don’t understand.”

“You… Give me back my motorcycle.” “No, I didn’t steal your motorcycle.”

“Just…’

“Alright.”

Xu Bai extended his hand to comfort Su Meng, who was about to rush forward. After comforting Su Meng, who was so angry that she was about to explode, he glanced at Zhu Nianyan. She was hiding behind Zhu Cong and sizing him up. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhu Cong. “Illicit wealth?”

Zhu Cong nodded.

Xu Bailu revealed a look of realization.

“What is the number?”

Zhu Cong turned his head and glanced at his granddaughter who was hiding behind him. He smiled. “The ninth.”

“Isn’t that enough?”

“JUSC a little more.

“… Alright then.”

Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, but then he bust out into a fit of laughter. He shook his head and looked at Zhu Cong. “I just thought about it too.”

He recalled the conversation he had with Zhu Cong back then.

Xu Bai was curious as to why Zhu Cong would choose to steal, so he asked Zhu Cong about his motive.

At that time, Zhu Cong had told him that this was cultivation.

Xu Bai scoffed.

In Zhu Cong’s words, Daoism emphasized doing good every day, while the Thief Sect emphasized stealing every day.

But…

This thief is not that thief.

Thieves have the heart of a beast hidden behind a human face, and they do evil. He who steals is full of evil; what he steals is illicit wealth.

Doism said that doing good deeds every day helped good people.

But this was a little kindness.

On the other hand, the Thief Sect emphazised robbing one person every day. This way, they could save ten, a hundred, or a thousand people.

It was a great kindness!

Moreover…

He could even steal their luck for his own use.

Of course.

Xu Bai hadn’t taken it to heart at the time. After all, back then, no one had told

Xu Bai that this was a world where cultivation was possible. Although Zhu Cong had wanted to take Xu Bai as his disciple, due to certain rules, he hadn’t been able to make it clear to Xu Bai.

Zhu Cong looked at his granddaughter.

“Where’s the motorcycle?”

“I sold it.”

“Hmm?”

“What?”

“You sold my motorcycle?” Su Meng was left shocked again.

Zhu Nianyan looked at Su Meng angrily. “I’ll say it again. I didn’t steal your motorcycle. I just stole the thief’s motorcycle.”

“That’s still my motorcycle.” “It has nothing to do with me.”

“You…”

“It’s done.”

Xu Bai interrupted and shook his head. He looked at Zhu Nianyan and said, “Who did you give it to? Old Xu who lives on 39th Street?”

Zhu Cong shook his head. “Old Xu retired five years ago, just like me. Now, his son, Little Xu, is in charge. Forget it, I’ll make the call.”

As he spoke.

Zhu Cong retrieved his phone and walked to the side as he made the call.

Su Meng looked at Zhu Nianyan angrily.

“Thief.’

“Hell.

“You should thank me.” Zhu Nianyan crossed her arms.

Su Meng was so angry that she laughed. “What? Me? Thank you? Why?”

“If it weren’t for me,” Zhu Nianyan said, “your motorcycle would have been taken out of Feng City by now. It would be in an illegal market in some city in the Federation.”

With that,

Zhu Nianyan, who was wearing smokey makeup, smiled brightly at Su Meng. “So, once again, you should thank me. However, I’m a very magnanimous person. It doesn’t matter if you thank me.”

Su Meng gritted her teeth. “Is that so? Alright then. I’ll bring you back to the police station. I promise to thank you.”

Zhu Nianyan seemed fearless as she looked at Su Meng. “Sure, if you don’t mind your colleagues knowing that a police officer’s motorcycle was stolen from your doorstep. Anyway, I didn’t steal your motorcycle.”

Su Meng was furious.

Xu Bai, who was standing at the side, had the urge to laugh when he heard the

conversation between the two women.

At this moment.

Zhu Cong walked over after the call. After hanging up, he looked at Xu Bai and said, “Alright, I told Old Xu that the motorcycle will be at the entrance of the

38th Branch in half an hour.”

Xu Bai nodded and thanked her. Then, he said to Su Meng, “Let’s go.”

“Wait a minute.” Zhu Cong raised his eyebrows.

Xu Baitou didn’t reply. “I know. The rules can’t be broken. I’ll come back after work. I’ll talk to you later.”

With that.

Xu Bai dragged Su Meng, who was glaring at Zhu Nianyan, out of the pawnshop.
