Chapter 001: Hell Difficulty Start, fortunately there are dual portals

With the portal that traverses the two realms, he should have been able to showcase his abilities, yet even standing normally is a luxury for him, possessing a treasure mountain but being powerless to utilize it

Zhang Xin smiled as he took out a lead box and opened it, revealing a peculiar triangular ornament, only the size of a palm, with a pattern resembling an eye in the center, which immediately conveyed a sense of antiquity

"If you beg me, I will give you a sip of water"

The oncology ward is permeated with the unique scent of disinfectant found in hospitals. The ward consists of single rooms, fully equipped, warm, and comfortable

Lu Yao glanced at it, it was in traditional Chinese characters—Liao's Martial Arts Gym Grand Opening, 20% off for learning martial arts

Lu Yao remained expressionless, not uttering a word. Ever since losing the ability to take care of himself, he has seen enough of the true colors of a group of relatives, and this one is no exception

However, Zhang Xin did not want his cousin, who was suffering from illness and on the verge of death, to leave in peace. He leaned closer and whispered:

However, for the solitary Lu Yao, it is a desolate place where no one cares, a land of waiting for death

Simply issue a command in your mind to open the "Dimensional Gate"

He is in the late stage of cancer, holding on until now solely through willpower, but it is merely prolonging his suffering for a few more days

A handsome young man is leisurely sitting in front of the hospital bed, with one leg crossed over the other, his eyes squinting with a smile.

I have to catch a flight, so I must leave a step ahead. Keep this as a memento, and perhaps I will have the chance to dance on your grave again in the future

In the next second, the ornament transformed into green dots of light resembling fireflies, penetrating through the facial features into the mind

Lu Yao recognized it immediately; this was an ancient artifact he cherished greatly, which he placed on his desk every day and occasionally handled. He never expected it to be something that could take a life

... ...

This is ... ... the Republic of China! ? No, how can there be two suns in the sky!

Lu Yao closed his eyes and could clearly sense that there was something in his mind called "Star Key"

The onlookers exclaimed in amazement: "A new boxing gym? Oh, it's a female instructor!"

... ...

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on a strange street, surrounded by green brick and tile houses, exuding an ancient charm

I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but immediately afterwards, a green portal suddenly appeared beneath me! The portal was vortex-shaped and was slowly rotating

What is it

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Lu Yao's face as he said, "Zhang Xin, you trash, a dog cannot change its habit of eating excrement. Transporting cold medicine abroad to refine drugs... cough cough..."

Amid the eager gazes of the crowd, four young men hoisted a wooden post, 2 meters long and as thick as a thigh, and set it upright.

Lu Yao could only helplessly lie on the bed, his whole body wracked with excruciating pain, accompanied by endless regret and unwillingness

With a loud bang, the wooden stake was driven one meter deep into the ground

... ...

But soon, the intense pain gradually faded away, leaving only numbness, and Lu Yao faintly heard his deceased parents calling him.

The female master took a deep breath, leaped up to a height of three stories, and came crashing down with a powerful punch onto the wooden post

The pile stands at three feet two inches, what remarkable skill!

There is always a way out for those in despair! In a world with extraordinary powers, can my cancer be cured!

The passerby just said, is this called 'setting up a stake'? It is a rule of opening a martial arts school, a form of demonstration

Yet he exerted all his strength but could not leave the sickbed. The excruciating pain and weakness turned what was originally a simple matter into a distant wish

At this moment, the excruciating pain of the bone cutting struck again, and Lu Yao gritted his teeth, enduring it to prevent himself from losing consciousness

Although the rickshaw and qipao are very representative, the sky has two suns, dazzling beyond compare, and Lu Yao even doubts—whether he is no longer on Blue Star

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers crackled and popped!

At this moment, a voice filled with schadenfreude rang out: "Cousin, you truly are in a sorry state. You even have to rely on others' charity just to have a sip of water"

The bodyguard was very observant and quickly opened the hospital room door. At the same time, he used a wireless earpiece to communicate with his colleagues to start the car in advance

After finishing his words, Zhang Xin calmly stood up and left. Before departing, he playfully winked back. He originally had a somewhat androgynous appearance, and at this moment, his demeanor and actions were surprisingly a bit charming.

Taking out the triangular ornament from his bosom, he discovered that it had become extremely hot and was slowly emitting light

Upon witnessing such a splendid scene, the crowd erupted in loud applause

After finishing his words, he slowly poured the water from the cup onto Lu Yao's pale and emaciated face

Lu Yao suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What did you say!"

Blue Star, Summer Country

Not far away, a brightly decorated residence is holding an opening ceremony, with a crowd gathered to watch the festivities

Zhang Xin, why? I have never offended you. You went to study abroad in the Star Alliance, and it was I who funded it

"Do not get excited, cousin. My suit is very expensive," Zhang Xin said as he easily removed Lu Yao's hand, carefully pinching the lead box and stuffing the radioactive ornament into his embrace

Several young individuals dressed in black training uniforms were distributing flyers everywhere. The wind swept a few of them to my feet, and I could faintly make out familiar square characters on them

A voice echoed in Lu Yao's mind: "Star Key charging complete, dimensional gate opened"

Cousin, actually, the main reason I returned to the country this time was to see you and to tell you that your cancer was caused by me

Just as Lu Yao's body became increasingly light and he was about to lose consciousness, a sudden wave of heat surged in his chest, startling him awake

The strength of the fist is profound, and the application of force reaches its pinnacle; truly a master of martial arts

It is rare, so let us see how she "sets the stakes"

Zhang Xin set down the cup and said slowly, "Who made you so rigid? It's just taking some cold medicine, it's not against the law, yet you insist on trying every possible way to stop me."

At this moment, a rickshaw passed by, with a robust driver wearing a sweat towel around his neck, and the female passenger was dressed in a sexy and glamorous qipao

After repeated confirmations, I am utterly shocked: "The ornament named 'Star Key' that Zhang Xin gave me is actually a tool for traversing between two realms!"

Choked, Lu Yao coughed weakly a few times. Fortunately, a small amount of water flowed down his throat, giving him a bit of strength to speak

Lu Yao, with a look of astonishment on his face, fell into the light portal and disappeared

At this moment, Lu Yao lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the glass of water on the bedside table, wanting to take a sip of water

The man stood up, took the cup of water in his hand and handed it over, "Cousin, don't be angry, I was just joking. You are so good to me, feeding you some water is still doable."

Lu Yao was so astonished that he opened his mouth wide! He even momentarily forgot the excruciating pain throughout his body

Zhang Xin adjusted his tie and smiled, saying: "Don't slander me; I am an internationally renowned entrepreneur. This time I returned to the country, and the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau even called to welcome me."

Lu Yao sighed, feeling that he could do nothing in his current state. He simply closed his eyes and ceased to speak, quietly awaiting the arrival of death

The familiar prompt sounded again: [Command completed, Star Key is on standby]

Does it look familiar? This is an authentic antique that I personally gifted to you. I mixed in a bit of radioactive material, and prolonged exposure will turn you into the ghastly figure you are now.

Jumping 10 meters high, and using a thick and long wooden stake to grow grass on the planet, is truly extraordinary power

Lu Yao looked up and saw a woman dressed in a black fitted outfit, standing tall, who was bowing and greeting everyone around her.

He extended his withered, branch-like arm and tightly grasped the arm of the person in front of him "You..."
