《Killing Cockroaches In Xianxia For Self-Preservation》46. Arriving At Clan, 8 Years Later!
Advertisement
(Bu Cai POV)
Sitting down on my bed in the little room I have been given to stay in, I can't help but think at how quickly I have been left on my own.
...
During the three days of travel, I focused on deepening the friendship with the disciples and also make an impression on Elder Guanting who may or may not be a mind reader.
This all would have went swimmingly, however one certain little girl was devoted to testing the limits of my patience and almost made my persona of obedience slip.
Chen Ru...
That bitch wouldn't leave my poor self alone. At all!
Whenever I was starting to get comfortable, she would come over and order me about like a slave.
And whenever I completed said tasks, she would complain to me about how clumsily I had done it and made Chen Yong(the other girl) show me how to properly do it.
And then she made me do it again, and again, and again...
Add on the fact that every time I made a small mistake, she would mutter under her breath at a volume that I could clearly hear,
"Of course a filthy lowborn like you can't do something so simple. I wonder what trash your mother and father must be to give birth to someone as useless as you."
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW YOU LIKE YOUR TEA PREPARED!?
If I didn't have things to lose in this life, I would have definitely give the little shit a whack in the face and taught her some manners.
And the worst part of this whole thing was that I could literally do nothing as she was technically a princess (although not an official one), and therefore I would be hung, drawn, and quartered if I even thought of doing something like violence against her.

So I could only roll about and cater to all her wishes as she found amusement in my inability to perfectly do tasks to her liking.
Anyways, I will surely teach that bitch the consequences of fucking with me in the future.
And even if I don't and die due to some reason, Long Tian himself is already a huge surprise for her.
Hehehe, just thinking about her wallowing in sadness after only being used as a bed warmer makes me cheer up a bit.
After that awful trip of slaving away for an entitled little girl, I got separated from everyone else and lead to a place where they basically made me an ID.
All that I had to do was drip a drop of blood on some stone thing and viola, I am now a Chen family member.
Technically I could even be Called Chen Cai.
But fuck that!
My name is mine!
As if I will change my name to something so generic as 'Chen'.
It would be undermining my prestige!
...
After becoming an official member, I was led by some boring old guy to the nurturing center. Then left with a token to get some techniques and martial arts from the library, and a few sets of robes.
And after that I was left to go fuck myself!
No guides, no rulebook, no tips and tricks... NO NOTHING!
Sitting on my bed was not what I was determined to do in my days here.
I was here to achieve big things!
And so onwards I went to wherever the my legs would take me.
It's not like there isn't enough to explore in this huge place...
So I opened the sliding doors that led out to a new world where my actions would determine whether,
I will concede to the cockroach, or if I will prevail over the pest.

(8 Years Later)
(In a sophisticated study room)
(Chen Guanting POV)
...
Skimming through the exceptional candidates list from this years batch of youngsters, I see a name which I recognized as he left quite the impression on me from the moment I met him...
Bu Cai.
...
I still recall watching the youth competition of that year.
The crowd was watching in complete Silence...
All were looking down at a young boy, no older than 8.
He was being completely mutilated by one of the monstrous geniuses of the younger generation.
Someone who was deemed to be almost invincible in the tournament.
It was determined to be a hopeless match for him.
Yet even whilst getting slashed over and over again... he never once gave up.
His eyes were filled to the brim with a frightening will that seemed to convey how much he wanted to win.
His whole body was drenched in his own blood and sweat, and he seemed to be able to break down at any moment.
Bu he kept moving.
He dodged, jumped and blocked as much as he possibly could.
However it simply wasn't enough.
The crowd lost hope for him, the representatives lost hope for him, and even his own opponent lost hope for him...
Yet he, himself, never did!
And eventually a miracle no one could predict happened!
The untouchable opponent that was in complete control of the match, was slashed by his blade.
It was completely ridiculous...
As the fight continued, the crowds roars seemed to be unable to drown the sound of metal to metal clashing.
And although he lost in the end, it was something that got my blood boiling.
A mere eight year old could make MY blood boil from watching his fight?
I knew at that moment I had to get him.
...
And now, eight years later, the young boy who had only his will to rely on... became the first sixteen year old Qi Condensation cultivator in the Chen Family's younger generation this time...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I can feel my Promotion coming soon!
He truly is a boy of miracles...

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
