Chereads / I Am Truly Not the Main Character / Chapter 70 - The Southern Region

Chapter 70 - The Southern Region

After a while, Niu Chang stopped his actions since his partner was no longer conscious.

His shoulders drooped, and his expression lacked happiness. Instead, he cynically asked himself, 'Is that it?'

To ensure he made the most of his first time, he also enlarged his member. The Impossible Idea only limited him to a full body reconstruction but not smaller changes.

The more his thoughts moved, the emptier he felt inside.

'It is not just post-nut clarity, but something more. It's like getting something I really wanted, but when I finally get it, the excitement fades because it has become meaningless…'

In the faint moonlight that reached his small underground cave, he could only sigh. Touching the moonlight on the tips of his fingers, he raised his head and looked at the night sky, where there was no moon due to his location.

'It's like the moon, high and beautiful. Some foolish monkeys think they can grasp the moon by touching its reflection in the water, but that is enough to make them happy since they succeeded…'

'Does reaching a goal truly hold meaning? Is it about the goal itself or the journey to get there?'

'Immortal life sounds grand, but do I really want or need it?'

'No, I didn't care about it from the beginning. I just felt wronged after reading so many novels where the main characters never appreciated the chances they got and wanted to take things into my own hands.'

'But if I don't attain immortal life, then my life wouldn't be any different from fleeting thoughts.'

He pondered for a while, trying to reason with himself about what to do once he achieved immortal life and became omnipotent and omniscient.

The promise with Niu Bai?

He could accomplish it right now by waiting for his second brain to finish the plan.

'Well, for now, the grand goal will not change, but the first thing I want to accomplish after achieving it would be to return to my previous world and dismember then put those authors who wronged my innocent experience of reading novels into my personal handmade hell.'

'Hah… just thinking about how torturing them for eternity gives me some dopamine at least.'

Niu Chang clenched his hand, trying to contain the faint moonlight, but he failed. He shook his head and turned back to the unconscious Mo Qi, who was in a complete mess.

Niu Chang didn't hold back and let everything he had in his arsenal come into play.

With a wave of his hand, a flicker appeared and beheaded Mo Qi.

Then he sustained her life and hung her head on his waist.

'My two followers are already gone, so I need her head to be my anchor until I find a better one.'

To ensure he didn't make any rookie mistakes, he obliterated Mo Qi's headless body into fine dust.

Taking his time to look at the small sack he brought from Yellow Soil Village and comparing it to the small continent where he lived.

The amount of money in it seemed meaningless to him.

But he couldn't just let it go, since greed is also part of human nature. Thus, he only took the money and precious things, abandoning the rest.

Tapping his toes slightly, Niu Chang easily reached the ground.

There he stood, watching the dark underground cave for the last time. Due to one of his cultivation techniques that required him to always look back at everything he did, he reminisced about his stay in silence.

Various thoughts arose in his mind and his heart followed.

'One kid went in, and a man walked out,' he said with a smile.

Under the grace of the night, he casually walked, but each step carried his body at inhuman speed.

'The seven major sects, the six major families, the five demonic sects, the four business houses, the three governmental bodies, the two hidden caves, and one cult.'

Niu Chang thought of the general power distribution of the Southern Region. It was quite easy to remember since they were in an orderly manner.

'Among all of them, which one should I visit and play with first?'

With the intention of harvesting some karma points, the muscles on Niu Chang's face squirmed before finally changing his ugly face into a pretty one.

His skin also toned into better condition, as if it were made of the highest quality jade.

Now his appearance was that of someone born of heaven itself, not just a mere mortal.

'Heh, since I want to harvest karma points, naturally, I need a shocking appearance, right?'

"Hahahaha," he laughed.

"Lalalala~" he sang.

"Hum~ humhum~" he hummed in a happy tone.

A story that should have taken more than a couple of hundred chapters was shortened to this point, where he, as the reincarnator, chose not to follow any rule set in the book.

"Ready or not, here I come."

...

When someone looked at the Southern Region on a map and saw the legends, they would be slightly confused if it was their first time.

According to the seven distributions of power, it didn't make any sense.

The seven major righteous sects should be clumped together in a specific area to defend themselves, but that didn't happen.

The same applied to the others.

It was like a chess table that had been left behind, and a child suddenly appeared and messed up the orderly pieces according to their liking, making this map possible.

Mountains and forests were the most common features in the Southern Region. Because of that, they used rivers to divide this vast region into smaller branches.

Coming from the Western Region and passing through before finally reaching the endless sea, the Yellow Jade River split the Southern Region diagonally from top left to bottom right.

Then it was further divided by the three great rivers that came from the Central Region, roughly turning it into eight parts.

Each part was called a province.

The province where Niu Chang had lived his whole life was called Gray Bamboo Province, as only in this province did this kind of plan exist.

Some provinces were named after their specialties, like Gray Bamboo Province; some were named after the strongest organization in that area, and others were named due to historical reasons.

Within the Gray Bamboo Province itself, there was only one true powerhouse, the Shen Family. There were some minor sects and families, but they were merely under the control of the Shen Family.

As a long time passed, countless geniuses would appear and somehow figure out the path to achieve longevity by themselves.

Arriving at a small village a few hours after sunrise, Niu Chang stopped for a moment.

This small village was naturally more prosperous than his Yellow Soil Village, located near a city. People here clean themselves at least once every three days.

The buildings were not dilapidated and full of patched holes. The age of the materials also didn't seem apparent to the naked eye.

When inhaling the air, it didn't feel stuffy and smelly.

'What a good village. I wonder if they also have another kind of farm raised by the Shen Family.' Niu Chang mused.

It was just a thought, but he also wanted to try it for himself, to slap the face of a young master. But that would depend on fate.

Walking on the street, where more people began to fill in, Niu Chang was looking for a place to buy a new set of clothes to complete his persona as the true heaven-chosen son.

Not long after, he found one that was already open. He entered the shop and was greeted by various kinds of fabric in rolls.

The owner, who was waiting inside, was stunned when he saw Niu Chang's handsome face.

"Welcome to our shop. May I know what you are looking for?" The experienced merchant quickly greeted Niu Chang while still in awe of his beautiful face.

Feeling the intense gaze from the shop owner, Niu Chang couldn't help but feel pleased. 'Truly, having a good appearance feels so good. Since I walked into this village, everyone has been looking at me stunningly. Hehehe, this feeling is not bad.'

Although he didn't care about appearance, since he could just sculpt it as he wished, he wanted to play this role in this kindergarten. This continent didn't have any strong people, which was why he thought it wasn't different from a kindergarten.

As such, he needed a new persona to blend in and enjoy himself to the fullest.

"Hello, I'm here to buy some clothes," Niu Chang replied kindly. He perfectly changed his character, choosing to live as another person, at least until he found it boring to continue.

"Clothes? Ah yes, we have many of them. Just let me know what you want." The shop owner quickly started to show Niu Chang various fabrics he had.

"I'm in a hurry, do you already have clothes in my size?" Niu Chang asked.

The shop owner shifted his gaze and began mentally calculating Niu Chang's body size before finally speaking. "We do have some ready-made clothes for children, but I need to measure your body size first, if that's okay with you."

"Sure," Niu Chang nodded.

The shop owner took the measuring tool and started measuring Niu Chang's body. As he looked closer, he couldn't help but be astonished. 'What kind of human is this?'

'His face is well-defined and has its own charm, it's not just about being handsome. His skin is pure without any impurities. And what about that smell? Is it really a human body odor? Why does it smell like expensive perfume?'

Although distracted, the shop owner finished his work. "I've measured your body, but sadly, we don't have anything that perfectly suits you."

He looked at Niu Chang dejectedly.

He felt like he had failed ten generations of his ancestors for being unable to provide a set of clothes for this handsome kid.

"Can you make adjustments to the ones you have to fit my size?" Niu Chang suggested.

The shop owner, who was previously sad, suddenly jumped, and his eyes brightened. "Yes, you are correct. Let me do it quickly for you."

He walked to the front door and changed the sign to 'busy', then walked back inside to do his work.

Niu Chang, still standing, was left alone. Since he had already made up his mind, he played his role without any errors.

He walked around, feeling the fabrics in the shop to entertain himself.

As for Mo Qi's head on his waist? He had already fiddled with it for the entire night and turned it into some kind of accessory.

It was physically impossible for her to stay alive in that state, but Niu Chang found a way to solve this problem. In the first place, it wasn't even a problem for his second brain to find the answer.
