Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun opened his eyes to the warm glow of sunlight. He couldn\'t stop his cultivation session at dawn so he decided to give the crew a break for the day.

He opened his eyes, feeling refreshed as the word itself, like morning grass after a night of rain. He stood up and flexed his muscles, each of his fibers filled with power. He felt like he could run around the city the entire day and not get tired.

[Qi +8]

Even after tens of thousands of circulations, his Qi had only increased by an eight. Wei Jun wasn\'t impressed by it but according to the system, such an increase in cultivation was a process of days to a month because no one, even the system itself back in the day couldn\'t increase its cultivation by that much.

\'Why?\' Wei Jun couldn\'t help but ask. According to the system, Wei Jun had zero talent when it came to cultivation but he could still increase his cultivation by this much, so why couldn\'t others?

It was a logical question from Wei Jun\'s side to which, the system replied very simply.

[Because no one possesses that strong concentration ability]

[Even I, the one who was revered for his talent could only cultivate for half a day at most before losing my concentration on the circulation]

[But, you, the host, have such strong concentration ability that I think instead of body art, you should find a mind cultivation technique and focus on that]

\'Mind cultivation technique?\' Wei Jun asked as he entered the shower.

[Since they are very strong and involve minds, they are often called evil techniques]

[However, I have mastered a mind technique myself]

[Mind cultivation technique gives you full control over your opponent\'s mind]

[Illusion is one of the most used skills of a mind cultivation technique]

[The examples are somewhat the same for all the other skills]

\'The power to play with your opponent\'s mind.\' Wei Jun mused to himself as he came out of the shower. Since his joints weren\'t aching, there was no need for a warm bath. Besides, the heat from his Qi had even changed his pale skin color to a slightly rosy color.

He was already very hot so there was no need for such things in the first place.

He dressed himself, left his room, and made his way to the dining room where he saw the actor\'s team busy eating and from the looks of it, they were in a hurry. Wei Jun could understand why. They were trying to avoid him.

He shook his head and decided to ignore them. When he took his seat, they were all frozen stiff, afraid he would say something but even after ten minutes, when Wei Jun didn\'t say anything, they heaved a sigh of relief.

"Today," But they weren\'t relieved for long when Wei Jun began to speak. They all turned to him in terror only to find his usual expressionless face as he said, "We will be filming a lot of scenes today and even in the night. We need to pick up the speed."

They once again heaved a sigh of relief. Wei Jun had decided to hurry it up. He needed money, it didn\'t matter anymore if he would have to forge expenses papers because the amount of money he needed was ginormous.

An amount he couldn\'t get from just black money alone. He needed to earn that money and then forge papers for all the fake expenses he would be spending in the system. It would prove to be a headache in the long run, but if he had all the power in the world, then the laws of the world didn\'t matter.

*******

\'Another freaking trouble.\' A young man cursed while he sat on a leather sofa in the middle of a luxurious living room. White tiles, a magnificent chandelier, decorations of paintings, and various ornaments only enhanced the luxuriousness and the beauty of the room.

However, the young man\'s mood was in great contrast with the peaceful atmosphere of the room. \'Is there nothing else to do but wait?\' He thought inwardly. Nothing had been going his way so all he could do was wait. He wasn\'t powerful enough to take the law into his own hands.

He had already gotten in trouble with the police once and it was related to a murder case to boot. Had it not been for the Na family\'s efforts and the help of a few government officials, and not forgetting to mention the fact that the lead detective on the case was quick to dismiss him, he would have been sitting behind bars at the moment.

After a while of cursing, he decided to turn on the TV for anything fun. On the TV, an interview was currently going on about a movie whose hype had been intensified to the highest degree.

The young man was familiar with the movie. Someone he knew was in that movie but he couldn\'t find her. He had asked some acquaintances to help locate her, but so far, there had been no news.

Another thing that irritated him. And if that wasn\'t enough, his fourth meeting with the Yu family was denied once again. The reason was very simple yet complex, the young lady of the Yu family, who oversees the cosmetic department of the company, was not in a good mood these days.

And the last thing that plagued him was this, his fiancée. The simple part of the problem; she despised him.

At first, it was just slight displeasure, nothing he couldn\'t overcome with his charm and a few gifts. But soon, it turned to hate. The reason; her newly found friends that she happened to make on a shopping trip. It was as if those girls came out of nowhere and their sole purpose in life was to make her hate him.

If that wasn\'t enough, they had to provoke him to his face to which he obviously retaliated. But that only came back to bite him once again. His fiancée thought he was trying to control her life which obviously didn\'t end well even after so many explanations.

As a revenge, he gave those girls constipation pills but he ended up getting caught while doing so. And once he was, then it didn\'t matter if it was a simple mischievous medicine or a dangerous drug to violate them later. And that was how that \'hate\' of her fiancée ended up being \'despise\' and as things stood, it wouldn\'t be long before it turned to \'loathe\'.

Even the blind faith and support of the Na patriarch didn\'t matter at this point. Although he believed him, the rest of the family didn\'t. That was why he had asked Ouyang Na for a separate house which he was happy to oblige because the old patriarch could see how things were going.

He sighed and sank into his chair, fully deflated, having no energy and interest to do anything else. Even the interview on the TV came to an end, revealing no clue to his acquaintances\' location.

Seeing nothing else to do, he took out his phone and dialed a number. The number he was trying to call was a friend he had made in recent days. A drinking buddy of sorts who was also a frequent helper of the orphanages around the city.

He knew of that person through his brother who had been a friend of his as well before his unfortunate death. Although the young man wasn\'t one to trust so blindly, his new friend was not only powerful, he was also a bit gullible, like an easy pushover. Of course, the young man never took any advantage of him but the fact still stood that he was someone the young man could trust.

The call was picked up from the other side and the man on the other end said, "Hello, Brother Long. A call from at this time is surely a surprise." The voice on the other end sounded happy and considerate.

The young man, Run Long, asked while stating his agenda, "Can we meet? I have a few things to discuss."

"Of course we can. Tell me when and where and I will surely be there." The man from the other end replied.

"Very well. Why don\'t we meet at the Lau\'s bar? My treat." Run Long said.

"Of course, of course. I will see you there." The man from the other end replied.

"Then I will see you there." Run Long replied as he hung up the phone.

The man on the other end called someone else. The caller ID read unknown but the voice of the person who picked was all the more familiar, "What?"

"He asked me to meet and I agreed. Do I have to do it today?" The man who was on the phone with Run Long asked the unknown caller.

"No. Now is not the time. Let him have some fun for now. The task isn\'t completed." The unknown caller said. The man didn\'t know what the other person meant but he knew it wasn\'t his place to ask.

"All right." The man replied and ended the call. The unknown caller on the other end ended the call and smiled while seeing the caller ID on his phone that read Noh Tian. "Just a little bit more." He said while he entered a building he had done once before.

He walked over to the reception and the receptionist greeted her, "Good morning, young master Ruan. Lady Lin is waiting for you in her office."
