I've Become The Immortal King And You Say I'm A Villain

Chapter 3: The Son of Luck at the Doorstep

"Uncle Fu, inform everyone that we're turning back," Luck's son said to an old steward through the carriage window.

"Young master, the master instructed us to go to Snowflake City to purchase goods. The family's market has run out of stock, and not replenishing the goods would be detrimental to the family's business," Uncle Fu, the steward, replied.

"Enough nonsense. If I say we're turning back, then we're turning back. If there are any problems, I'll take full responsibility," Luck's son impatiently replied.

"Yes, young master. I will inform everyone and prepare for the return journey," Uncle Fu sighed and went to arrange the return.

Soon, everything was arranged, and the caravan turned back.

"I'm getting farther and farther away from that antagonist," Luck's son sighed with relief as he looked at the prompts on his virtual screen. He had finally managed to avoid them.

He made up his mind that once he returned to the family, he would focus on leveling up and not stop until he reached the Bronze level.

Luck's son touched the ancient finger ring on his hand. Every Luck's son had their own Goldfinger. His Goldfinger was the ancient finger ring he wore. The game's prompt said that there was a soul hidden inside this ring.

This soul had been powerful in its lifetime, but unfortunately, it was killed in battle, leaving only a wisp of soul that escaped and took refuge in the ring.

Although its power was greatly diminished now, the experience of this formidable being remained. Luck's son believed that with his guidance, he would quickly rise to power.

"Whoever you are, that antagonist, just you wait. Once my grandfather wakes up, I will come and slay you. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, do not underestimate a young man in poverty!"

"The humiliation of taking a detour today will be repaid a hundredfold when I, Cai Kun, succeed in my development!"

Cai Kun, this Luck's son, made a silent vow in his heart.

Leaving aside everything else, Cai Kun was very quick to immerse himself in the game.

"After my grandfather wakes up, I'll have him help me slay a few antagonists so that I can quickly upgrade my Goldfinger and become a Bronze-level Luck's son."

"Hehehe, tremble, antagonists! I will make the sky unable to hide my eyes. I, Cai Kun, will reign supreme!"

Cai Kun thought about his future and laughed happily.

He didn't pay attention to the camp chat channel because it would break his concentration.

He was envious of those lucky ones who transmigrated and had various powerful cheats, but Cai Kun was confident that he could suppress them all and become the only and strongest Luck's son in the world for eternity.

................

The caravan quickly headed towards the city outskirts.

Cai Kun was unaware that his abnormal behavior had caught the attention of Lin Changsheng's spies.

In the Great Li Dynasty, Lin Changsheng secretly formed an intelligence organization.

Several spies who received Bai Zhi's orders noticed the unusual behavior of the caravan where Cai Kun was located and quickly reported it.

Soon after, Bai Zhi quietly arrived and concealed her aura as she observed Cai Kun's caravan from the shadows.

Bai Zhi was not the strongest under Lin Changsheng in Snow Moon City, but she was very skilled at stealth tracking.

Although Bai Zhi was not good at fighting, she could easily overpower Cai Kun, a Luck's son who hadn't awakened his Goldfinger.

"Grandfather, are you awake?"

"Elder?"

"Boss, I know you're in there. Wake up quickly. If you don't wake up soon, I, Cai, might be in trouble."

Cai Kun whispered to the finger ring in his hand.

He wanted to wake up the grandfather inside the ring.

"Kid, stop making noise. The old man can't even sleep peacefully..."

An old and weak voice sounded.

"Senior, you finally woke up."

Cai Kun's voice trembled with excitement.

"Are you a chicken? Disturbing my peaceful dream."

The old man with the finger brace replied irritably.

"Senior, I have offended you greatly. Please forgive me for disturbing your dream. I apologize sincerely and hope you can tolerate my ignorance. Please don't treat me like a child."

Cai Kun felt embarrassed and apologized.

"Young master, do you need anything?"

The voice of the butler, Uncle Fu, came from outside the carriage.

The carriage was not soundproof, and Cai Kun's voice was a bit loud, so Uncle Fu heard some commotion.

"It's none of your business. Stay away from the carriage."

Cai Kun's tone was unfriendly.

After driving away Uncle Fu and the attendants outside, Cai Kun called out to the senior again, this time in a more flattering tone.

"Young chicken, although I am not as powerful as before, I can still unleash an attack at the Venerable level. You don't have to worry. If any enemies come looking for trouble, I will help you settle the score."

"It's also a return for the spiritual energy I've absorbed from you over the years."

Cai Kun felt ecstatic in his heart. The words of the old man with the finger brace reassured him, finally relieving him of the worry about those antagonists.

................

"The child of luck should be him."

In the pavilion by the lake, Lin Changsheng sipped his tea and whispered.

Before Bai Zhi left, he left a trace of divine consciousness on him, so he knew everything about the caravan.

"Sir, that soul body should have ignited the divine fire before. Should we take action now?"

Bai Zhi, hidden nearby, asked Lin Changsheng for permission to take action.

"Not yet. There are many pedestrians and caravans nearby."

Lin Changsheng replied.

"An attack at the Venerable level?"

After hearing the words of the old man with the finger brace, Cai Kun started to have other thoughts.

"Just to be safe, let's first check the level of that antagonist we encountered."

Cai Kun opened the game panel and consumed his initial 1 point of luck value to check Lin Changsheng's level.

Soon, Lin Changsheng's level appeared on the panel.

"He's actually at the Black Iron Level! Hehehe..."

Cai Kun felt ecstatic. He was just a Black Iron weakling.

Although he was also at the Black Iron Level, his Goldfinger grandfather had awakened. Cai Kun believed that he could already be considered a Bronze-level child of luck, not on the same level as a Black Iron weakling.

"Should I use the Venerable-level attack of my grandfather?"

Cai Kun started to hesitate.

An attack at the Venerable level could save his life in a critical moment.

But that Black Iron-level antagonist was also tempting.

"The antagonist player doesn't have a Goldfinger, and his strength shouldn't be very strong. With a Venerable-level attack, I can definitely kill him."

"If I can achieve the first kill, I will receive double rewards. My path to rise as Cai Kun will be unstoppable."

"Hehehe, I'm so clever. Truly worthy of being a child of luck!"

After carefully considering the gains and losses, Cai Kun decided to use his grandfather's Venerable-level attack to kill the antagonist player. He wanted to snatch the first kill.

"Uncle Fu, turn around. Let's go back to Snow Moon City."

Cai Kun shouted loudly.

Uncle Fu was dizzy from Cai Kun's actions, but after being scolded several times, he decided not to interfere with the young master's decisions. Whatever he said, goes.

The convoy turned around and headed back to Snow Moon City at high speed.

Cai Kun couldn't wait any longer. He felt his blood boiling.
