1: Chapter 1: Is Universe Dimensional Ascension More Important Than My Home Being Raided?

[You are really good-looking.]

"Handsome, are you selling? I'll pay a high price!"

Jiang Muxue gazed at Lin Wan, her eyes smiling.

Lin Wan felt surprised. He looked around at the nearby crowd and pointed to his own chest with his finger:

"Sis, me?"

He looked at the woman before him...

Jet-black long hair, translucent fair skin, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and she also emitted a faint, ethereal fragrance.

It was obvious that she was a wealthy young lady, judging by her outfit.

Yet, in the noisy crowd, she had picked him out at a single glance because of his outstanding temperament.

Lin Wan's eyes brightened.

Was this the charm of having a face comparable to the esteemed readers?

Did the heavens know his teeth were weak and wanted him to change his taste, to henceforth... achieve Dao in an alternative way?

"Uh... to be precise, it's the jade pendant on your chest..."

Jiang Muxue realized her phrasing was inappropriate and quickly added, "I have my eye on the jade pendant you're wearing. Will you sell it for ten thousand?"

So it was the pendant, he thought it was... something else!

Lin Wan raised his hand to touch the pendant on his chest, secretly lamenting the missed opportunity.

He feigned deep thought and said:

"Originally, this is an ancestral jade pendant, so I wouldn't sell it."

"However..."

Jiang Muxue saw through his thoughts at a glance, rolled her eyes, and began to raise the price:

"How about twenty thousand?"

Lin Wan shook his head.

"Thirty thousand."

Lin Wan still shook his head.

"...Fifty thousand!"

Jiang Muxue's veins bulged, and she gritted her teeth.

Lin Wan raised an eyebrow.

She was gritting her teeth; she was anxious!!

He could be certain that this price was approaching her bottom line.

Who would have thought!

His ancestral jade pendant could be worth so much.

Now it had a good destination to bloom with its own value; his ancestors should be quite gratified.

However... he was a layman. He couldn't understand the quality of the jade pendant and couldn't confirm its true value.

What if he got scammed?

Therefore, he still had to test her again by raising the price, to let her see what top-tier intellectual combat was all about.

"500,000. If you can pay that, I'll sell!" Lin Wan directly stated his bottom line.

"Fine, deal!" Jiang Muxue changed her face in a second, completely dropping her previous attitude.

"Handsome, tell me your bank account number."

Lin Wan: "..."

That was it, he had quoted too low.

Lin Wan felt a bit heartbroken and a little angry!

A profiteer!

Who quotes a price so low? Wasn't this deceiving a layman like him?

Fortunately, his jade pendant had a crack, though it wasn't visible on the surface.

So it probably wasn't worth much, and he had still made a huge profit, hehe.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan remained silent and read his bank account number to Jiang Muxue.

Soon...

[Your savings account ending in 0509 has a new transaction alert: ¥ +500,000.00]

Jiang Muxue reached out and took the jade pendant Lin Wan handed over.

Her fingertips touched it, and the pendant still retained some of Lin Wan's warm body heat.

She seemed completely unaware of the issue with the jade pendant, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Lin Wan squinted his eyes, feeling more and more that he had quoted too low, but he just wanted to leave here quickly, lest this wealthy young lady before him discover the clues about the jade pendant.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going." Lin Wan greeted her.

The wealth had come too suddenly; he had to run away early.

"Mm, take care, handsome."

Jiang Muxue smiled and said goodbye.

Lin Wan didn't even look back, but just as he had walked a few steps,

"Handsome, wait a moment!"

Lin Wan's body stiffened.

Could it be... had he been discovered?

Holding a nervous attitude, he turned back, only to see Jiang Muxue looking at him with deep eyes.

"Sis, is there anything else?"

Lin Wan broke into a cold sweat.

Jiang Muxue maintained her smile: "Nothing, I just wanted to wish you well, handsome. May your future be bright, and may you rise step by step..."

Lin Wan clasped his hands in response: "...Haha, is that so? Same to you, Sis! May you have a child soon!"

Good thing she hadn't noticed.

These rich kids really were polite; it seemed their upbringing was quite good.

Lin Wan didn't think too much and left quickly, leaving only his back view.

"The hell with 'may you have a child soon'!"

Jiang Muxue couldn't help but curse under her breath.

She stared ahead and stood for a long time.

The jade pendant, of course, was just an ordinary pendant; what was important was what was inside.

"...Lin Wan, you're actually quite cute at this time~"

"I have fulfilled your request, but this time, can you still break the galaxy-level restriction and become the strongest in the galaxy?"

She looked at the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion, and whispered softly:

"Forget it, anyway, if you can't make it this time, I'll just block it for you."

"Three hours left..."

...

"There are three hours left until my little sister gets out of school. I need to arrange the holiday schedule in advance."

Lin Wan's family; his parents died early, and he and his little sister, Lin Ya, had raised each other since they were young.

For the sake of survival, Lin Wan didn't continue his studies after graduating high school and entered society early to work hard.

Lin Ya, on the other hand, was quite promising; she was admitted to a first-tier university and often won scholarships, so their living standards were actually quite decent.

However, recently his little sister had been spending a bit too much money, making Lin Wan, as her big brother, start to feel the pressure and couldn't keep up.

This made him think more about it—had his little sister picked up some bad habits?

"It's been almost a semester since we last met. I'll ask her when I pick her up from school today..."

Lin Wan didn't think too much and drove his second-hand Toyota Venza toward the school.

Three hours later, at the gate of Wutan Academy.

Lin Wan's world collapsed.

"Crack!"

It was the sound of a broken heart.

He only saw a delinquent girl with dyed blonde hair, wearing a Wutan Academy uniform, radiating youthful energy, and a sunny smile on her face, walking out of the campus hand-in-hand with a handsome guy with dyed yellow hair.

The people coming were none other than Lin Ya and an unknown yellow-haired guy.

No, he was the one who had come!

"I should have thought of this earlier..."

Lin Wan's eyes trembled as if struck by lightning!

It was obvious: his family's cabbage had been rooted by a pig.

Watching the two of them acting lovey-dovey, and his little sister even having dyed her hair blonde for him, this behavior was like telling him...

Look... you brat, a ghost fire is riding in your face!!

In the future, eating your sister's food, using your sister's things, and even having to undergo interviews and written tests...

Scenario after scenario passed through Lin Wan's mind, and his heart was hit by ten thousand tons of critical damage, as if pricked by ten million needles.

"Hey—!!"

The angry roar resounded in all directions!

Lin Wan was furious; he immediately pushed open the car door, slammed it shut, and rushed toward the two of them.

Lin Ya noticed and, after a casual glance, was greatly startled.

"Oh no... Brother Fan, run quickly."

She hurriedly let go of Ye Fan's hand and gave him a hard push.

The yellow-haired Ye Fan was somewhat confused.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ya?"

Lin Ya shouted anxiously: "Run quickly, or he'll beat you to death."

Ye Fan was furious: "Who is it? I should avoid his edge?"

"My brother!"

"Even so...?! "

Ye Fan turned his head abruptly and sure enough, saw a shocking scene.

It was a face that looked 60-70% similar to Lin Ya's.

The brother-in-law had come to catch them in the act!

Oh no! It's over!

Damn it... Didn't that mean he wouldn't be able to get a meal today?

Ye Fan gritted his teeth: "Xiao Ya, what will you do if I leave?"

Lin Ya was gentle as water: "Don't worry, Brother Fan, my brother won't do anything to me. Let's meet next time."

"No, Xiao Ya, I won't abandon you!"

"We swore together: to ride the same bike, eat the same food, grow old together in this world, and never be separated!"

"How can we because of..."

Lin Ya reached out and spread her hands: "Here... Brother Fan, this is today's meal money. Don't go hungry!"

"Okay, Xiao Ya, take care of yourself. Another day I will go talk to our brother and let him accept me."

Lin Ya smiled slightly: "Mm... Brother Fan, I will wait for you. The money for the motorcycle is almost saved up~"

"I'll block my brother for a while, you leave quickly."

Ye Fan: "Xiao Ya..."

The two of them were lovey-dovey, their gazes almost spinning threads!

Love floated with the wind~~

"You motherf***er, stop right there—!!"

Lin Wan's angry roar spread, causing the surrounding students to stop and watch.

The man's running speed at this moment was comparable to Bolt's.

He had never been so angry and ferocious.

In his life, after working hard in society for several years, being reprimanded by leaders, and mocked by colleagues, he had always brushed it off with a smile.

But now, his home had been invaded!!

And by an unknown yellow-haired guy!!

Pain, too painful!

Damn it!

Lin Wan grabbed his ID card from his pocket and bit it in his mouth, his gaze unusually calm.

He seemed to have made a certain decision...

Just... the next moment!

[Universal Ascension Trial begins. You have been selected as the first batch of Trial-takers. Do you accept?]

[Choosing No or timing out will cancel the qualification for the Ascension Trial]

[30... 29... 28... 27...]

Lin Wan was stunned.

Ye Fan was also stunned.

Facing the data that suddenly popped up before them,

The two spoke in unison: "What the hell?"

However, Lin Wan immediately reacted. While Ye Fan was distracted, he took a step to cross Lin Ya's defense and went straight for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was scared out of his wits and hurriedly shouted:

"I accept."

In an instant, a white light flashed, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Shock flashed through Lin Wan's eyes, his figure remaining in place, his gaze once again fixed on the data in front of him.

Ascension Trial?

Trial-taker?

What is this?

"None of my business."

Universal Ascension, is that more important than his home being invaded?

Who can tolerate a ghost fire riding in their face?

He only knew one thing: the blood of the yellow-haired guy must end by his sword!

"You little brat, do you think I can't catch you just because you ran elsewhere?"

"Wait, I'm coming to f*** you up right now."

After saying this, he grabbed his ID card back into his hand and turned to glare at Lin Ya.

Lin Ya was very confused...

Judging by the situation, she hadn't been selected as part of the first batch of Trial-takers, so she hadn't received the message.

"Brother, Fan... Where did Ye Fan go?"

So his name was Ye Fan!

Lin Wan silently memorized the yellow-haired guy's name.

Facing Lin Ya's question, he didn't answer.

He took two steps forward, took out a bank card and car keys from his pocket, and placed them in Lin Ya's hand, his face serious:

"The password is your birthday. Use it sparingly."

"Brother is going to catch that little brat right now."

"You stay put, don't run around, and wait for Brother to come back."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Ya to react.

"I accept."

A white light flashed, and Lin Wan also disappeared from the spot.

"No, Mr. Riddler... what on earth did you guys accept!!"

A breeze blew across her face.

Only Lin Ya was left in the wind, in a mess.
