Actually, there's no need for that quack doctor Xie Lan.

That scoundrel is completely obsessed with money. Ji Jue lay in the hospital room doing nothing, paying money every day, and the heartache made it hard for him to sleep.

The physical condition of a Chosen One doesn't need to be handled with such care, especially a Ji Jue who has achieved perfect Transformation Rank, with astonishing recovery abilities.

If the situation is urgent, he wouldn't even need Transformation Rank. Under the operation of the spiritual quality of Embers' Material Interference, he could simply pat his thigh to forcibly set the bone, and with strengthened muscle splints, he could even run a full marathon after severing nerve transmission.

The reason he was lying there for so long was completely because Ji Jue... well, was so careless. He would always accidentally break his leg, breaking it back and forth more than a dozen times.

Professor Ye, who came to visit, made some comments and guidance—at his age, being so careless won't do, he should be more careful in the future.

The reason for his discharge was simply because... even a broken leg wouldn't help!

Couldn't keep him in any longer.

After repeatedly breaking and healing over a dozen times, just when he almost got used to life in a wheelchair... Yesterday morning, Ji Jue opened his eyes, naturally got out of bed to wash up, brushed his teeth in front of the mirror, and when he raised his hand, he discovered the number [7] on his watch silently lit up with a bit of brilliant golden light.

—Rebirth Rank!

Naturally breaking through, when water is full it overflows, without any hindrance. After lazing around in the nursing home for half a month, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, he naturally crossed the Dragon Gate, which many people were stuck on, stepping into the Rebirth Rank.

Reborn?

From now on, even without considering the craftsman's title and others, just by having the Rebirth Rank level, even as a blank-slate Chosen One, he'd be considered one of the few experts and strong individuals.

In the chaos of Central Earth, where the strong are respected, a mere movement would make someone prostrate in awe. Going to Thousand Islands would allow him to become a territorial king.

In the Desert Market, he could at least be a lieutenant beside the leader. If his records were clean, he could join the Security Bureau, and after completing the procedures and getting familiar with the work, he could take on key positions like Sister Wen as a district supervisor in a year or two.

At this moment, it has been eleven months since he became a Chosen One...

Although it sounds exaggerated, it's actually understandable.

After all, the absurd things happening to him were too many, everyone was somewhat numb to it.

Even if word got out that he became a Rebirth Rank Chosen One in eleven months, it wouldn't be much of a big news compared to the terrifying story of becoming a craftsman and forging Heavenly Artisan within a year's evaluation period.

Previously, the consensus in the association was that a craftsman who could gather the Embers Three-piece Set was already a master reserve, and distance from that position was merely a matter of time...

Now, however, it felt like some freaks might not even need time!

"Oh wow, amazing," Ji Jue said, pinching his chin as he approached the mirror for a closer look.

Feeling the natural changes within this body...

In every sense, as if reborn.

Not just the body and soul, the wonderful feeling of the Matrix and blessing merging into one, even the senses sharpened several times over and the unexpectedly fast reaction speed...

After Material Interference, the enhanced strength was even more exaggerated.

Without any alchemical operation, purely with his hand, he created a dent on a backup armor plate meant for a small cattle horse.

Of course, there was non-aggression and Heavenly Skill reinforcement for the hand involved.

As for the level of precision...

Let's put it this way, the Federation currency used to settle the hospital bill upon discharge was printed by Ji Jue on the spot with a steel pipe from the bedside cabinet in front of that scoundrel Xie Lan!

From detail to texture, it was indistinguishable from the real thing, and he even crafted an anti-counterfeiting watermark on the spot.

The only downside was... it was printed on toilet paper.

Xie Lan's expression at the time was quite a sight.

Initially, he wanted to scold Ji Jue for freeloading and not paying, but Ji Jue just whipped out the invoice with double the hospitalization fee, a medical fee as if avenging a family, and a daily care fee of 9,700, along with enough nutrition fees to dig out Xie Lan's conscience for stew, and settled it with him line by line.

How could Embers have any money left for the next day?

Ripping off a big client isn't done like this! Do you want me to call someone from Northern Mountain District to give you a safety inspection? Doctor, you wouldn't want the Security Bureau to discover your secret research, right?

Anyway, as long as it's found, it will be handled severely. If not found, it's even simpler; he could directly frame!

After a satisfying contest of skills, Ji Jue once again led Embers to win the Twelve Superior's heart award!

Then, he was kicked out of the nursing home by the enraged quack.

Fortunately, perhaps thinking that the lesson was enough, after learning that Ji Jue had broken through to Rebirth, Professor Ye didn't take out some peculiar gadget that could break legs even in Rebirth. Instead, he glanced at Ji Jue's flattering grin, warned him to focus on the proper matters, and then tossed a batch of his old research notes on the nine types to let him find a place to annoy himself.

Exhausted.

Staying in the workshop would only result in daily barks, bullying the salted fish on the sofa, and a slight oversight could threaten his blood pressure... Being a teacher is a hassle, how about you quickly uphold our excellent tradition and break out on your own!

So, just after being discharged, Ji Jue didn't even have time to show off his one-year Rebirth progress to his alma mater's sister before being kicked out by the teacher.

But he was too lazy to work, and there was no place that he couldn't avoid.

The expansion and management of Xinquan were fully controlled by Isis, leaving no need for his intervention.

The production at the coast could be managed by specifying the targets and direction, leaving it to Yan Jian. Messenger Logistics' operation was being monitored by Gou Er, who was eagerly anticipating his second life after a thorough makeover.

Chen Yubo was handling matters at the shipyard, and all the orders from Central Earth and Thousand Islands were being taken by the enthusiastic employees in the underground workshop signing up in droves.

After the initial hustle, everything was on track, with very few matters that required Ji Jue's personal involvement.

Aside from his workshop's nine-type research, remaining tasks were like a strategy management game; decisions needed to be made, and then it was just a matter of clicking to the next round.

As for the rest...

Nets and baits that needed to be spread out were all in place without any immediate movement. Rushing would only alert the targets.

He simply gave himself a big holiday.

Took Mom Lu, Third, and Little One to see Lu Ling at Tianmen.

Joining the fun.

The school that used to be strictly controlled now opened its gate wide, bustling with people coming and going.

The Southeast University Alliance's autumn sports meet banner fluttered in the wind. In the scorching sun, there was a long queue outside the milk tea shop, and besides the stalls on either side, people were sneaking in with carts selling drinks and ice cream.

Rarely this lively.

"Whoo-hoo-hoo—Fast or not? Fast or not?"

After reaching Rebirth Rank, Ji Jue rarely showed off his physique, carrying his younger sister and Little One, one on each shoulder, sprinting ahead, running at the lakeside for quite a while with the two kids.

"Fast, so fast!"

The younger sister clung to his arm, giggling, "Faster than Big Brother!"

Not knowing that the sneaky Second Brother had recorded it, planning to flaunt it in front of Lu Feng later...

Meanwhile, the foodie Little One's eyes lit up, "Second Brother, ice cream!"

"Buy!" Ji Jue responded without hesitation.

"Second Brother, small cake!"

"Buy!" Ji Jue nodded decisively.

"Second Brother, pretty sister!"

Ji Jue reflexively replied, "Bu... wait a minute, this can't be bought!"

Passing by, the junior student smiled at them and even gave the two kids some snacks.

Though they had walked far, Little One kept staring.

Almost drooling.

Ji Jue playfully patted Little One's head. At such a young age, instead of learning, the moment he entered college, he wasn't feeling the cultural atmosphere but was already enchanted by pretty sisters with long legs in black stockings!

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating. You're getting this fat and still eating, don't know to care for others."

Mom Lu affectionately pinched Little One and the younger sister's cheeks, using a wet wipe to wipe Ji Jue's sweat, "Carried them for so long, look how suntanned you are now."

"Hey, Spring City's sun is much harsher than this, it's fine." Ji Jue carried the kids, just lifting his chin allowing Mom Lu to clean.

"Still no good, grown-up and can't even walk on their own?" Mom Lu finished wiping, pulled the kids down one by one, "Just out of the hospital, do your legs still hurt?"

Ji Jue sighed, "All the chickens at home are eaten by me, already had hundreds of pounds of Ficus Hirta Vahl, enriched to this point, how could it still hurt?"

"Still, need more rest, look how tired you are?"

"Already gained weight, haven't I?"

"Not fat, well-proportioned, but still weak at the core, needs more nourishment!" Mom Lu insisted, "Granduncle raised hundreds; I'll bring a batch over."

Ji Jue wanted to speak but felt helpless.

Couldn't be persuaded.

No matter how much is said, soup is already boiled, better obediently open the mouth and drink.

Some want to drink but can't… isn't that right, Brother Feng?

Unfortunately, Brother Feng wasn't there.

But it doesn't matter; he can hear about it later.

Ji Jue hummed a tune, holding the two kids, and walked in with Mom Lu.

As one of the top five in the Federation, Tianmen still had some facade. In the huge sports complex, all the air conditioners were on full blast. Used to the outside heat, coming in, it felt shockingly cold.

In the surrounding stands, students were passionately shouting slogans, cheering for their schools. Waves of chants rose one after another, standing among them, Ji Jue felt his blood boil.

"Where's Second Sister? Isn't she out yet?" Little One peered around, full of curiosity.

"It's going to take a while, how could it be so fast?"

Ji Jue pressed down the Little One, who was trying to climb the seat, feeling insecure, simply pulled him up to hold in the arms, matching with the younger sister in Mom Lu's arms.

Having bought two packs of snacks beforehand, they were each given a bag to appease them, finally behaving much better.

Looking around at the sea of people, it was completely unexpected.

Never thought just a university sports meet would attract so many people.

When he was in school before, he had come to see a hotpot related event. The last sports meet wasn't austere, but it certainly wasn't as grand and beautiful either.

Even the venue had been renovated, the entire air conditioning system replaced, cool and pleasant breeze, free ice water, even the school's tour buses were repainted and updated.

So extravagant, given the school's usual behavior of bottle up even a fart, it was rare indeed, probably some rich fool was tapped, squandering who knows how much money...

Thinking of this, Ji Jue sucked on the free ice water, snickered, and finally looked up.

And there, amidst the passionate music, in the center of the venue, a sponsor banner rose prominently…

— [Coastal Industry, creating a new future for Hai Province].

Fuck!

My money!!!

Ji Jue stood frozen in place, the rich fool was actually himself?!
