"Mom, I've transferred 150 Yuan to you. You don't have to worry about money anymore, I'll take care of you guys. Just take good care of dad," Jiang Xiaolong choked up on the phone.

"Son, I have money. I can earn money doing odd jobs. Don't take on part-time jobs anymore, you just started university, studying should be your main focus," a harried voice responded over the phone.

"Mom, it's okay. I'm an adult now, I can look after you guys."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaolong sat despairingly on the steps at the entrance of the bank.

He was a freshman at Jiangnan University, 18 years old, standing at 1.78m, with thick brows and big eyes, and muscles all over. He was your typical handsome young man.

Jiangnan University, only second to Huaqing University, was a prestigious university that countless students took pride in getting into. But Jiang Xiaolong simply couldn't find any joy in it.

Three months ago, his father Jiang Yicheng, trying to make enough money for his tuition fees, started working on a construction site. Unfortunately, he was hit by a falling cement slab, which broke both of his legs.

The contractor, rich and powerful, used his connections to avoid paying compensation, leaving the matter unresolved.

Jiang Xiaolong's family was not wealthy and simply could not afford the expensive medical bills. Desperate, Jiang Yicheng had to have both of his legs amputated. His mother, Liu Zhujun, had to stay home to look after his father, leaving them without an income. Jiang Xiaolong had no choice but to juggle school and a delivery job to earn some hard-earned money.

He'd been delivering orders for thirty days, but his boss, Gu Shan, hadn't paid him a cent.

This morning, Jiang Xiaolong had asked Gu Shan for his pay, only to encounter Gu Shan's thugs instead. They gave him a beating and warned him that if he mentioned money again, they would break his legs.

The 150 Yuan he'd just sent home was money he’d borrowed from his roommate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaolong felt a sense of grievance welling up, and hot tears started to roll down his cheeks.

A string of tears dripped onto his phone.

The mobile phone automatically made a sound.

"Owner identified successfully!"

"Congratulations on successfully installing the Immortals' Taobao Store!"

How did the mobile phone make a sound by itself? What is the Immortals' Taobao Store?

Jiang Xiaolong sighed in frustration. This phone was a second-hand, no-name smartphone he bought for fifty dollars. Since he bought it, there have always been problems. He suspected that this time it must have picked up a virus again.

He opened his mobile phone and found that the icon originally for Taobao had changed to the Immortals' Taobao Store.

This isn't a virus, did Taobao automatically upgrade?

He curiously tapped into it to take a look.

Is this Taobao? Has Taobao changed its logo?

Why is this Immortals' Taobao Store nothing like the previous Taobao, and the most shocking thing is the names of each store.

"The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord's Elixir Pavilion."

"The Old Moon's Matchmaking Temple."

"Yan Wang's Ghost Recruiting Store."

"Pigsy's Drunken Immortal Tower."

"Masterpieces' Clothing Store."

...

What is all this? Have the store owners on Taobao lost their minds, giving their stores such bizarre names to gain attention?

Insane!

Jack Ma has turned Taobao into such a state, it seriously devalues his intelligence!

At this moment, a red envelope suddenly appears on the screen.

The red envelope has a line written on it, "First-time installation of Divine Taobao Store allows you to receive a free red envelope."

Involuntarily, Jiang Xiaolong clicked open the red envelope.

"Congratulations! You've obtained a Strength Talisman refined by the Yellow Turban Strongman, which has now been stored in your Hundred Treasures Box!"

What is all this stuff?

Yellow Turban Strongman? Strength Talisman?

Jack Ma, are you sure you're not joking?

He clicked out of curiosity and found that the shopping cart has been turned into a Hundred Treasures Box.

When he clicked open the Hundred Treasures Box, there were over a hundred empty slots.

In the first slot, there was a talisman.

"The Strength Talisman, refined by the Yellow Turban Strongman. By chanting 'Strength, strength, follow my heart's desire,' you can increase your strength tenfold, effective for one hour."

Below the space, there's a simple annotation.

"Do you want to extract the Divine Power Talisman!”

Jiang Xiaolong clicked "Yes.”

In an instant, a dazzling gold light covered the entire screen, and a Divine Power Talisman appeared in his hand.

"Holy Crap!”

Scared out of his wits, Jiang Xiaolong hastily threw the Divine Power Talisman to the side.

His eyes wide open, he stared in fear at the Divine Power Talisman on the ground.

How could something come out of his phone? Was he dreaming?

Regaining his calm, he looked at Taobao on his phone, his eyes filled with excitement and thrill.

This was real!

"All of them inside are immortals, and I, I'm actually chatting with immortals. Jackpot, hahaha…"

He thought, if the Taoist Taobao was real, then the Divine Power Talisman must be real too. Let's try its effects.

Finding a secluded place, he held the Divine Power Talisman and muttered,

"Divine Power, Divine Power, follow my will.”

In a flash, a tremendous force surged into his body, his muscles bulged, and his entire body felt as if it possessed the strength of millions of pounds.

Beside him was a large stone sunk into the earth, which he reckoned was at least 500 pounds.

Jiang Xiaolong approached it, placed both his hands on the stone, and heaved with effort.

With ease, the hefty stone was uprooted, Jiang Xiaolong's face remained unflustered and normal, indicating still possessing reserve strength.

He gently set the massive stone aside, his inner self was tumultuous with unspeakable excitement!

"The God Strength Charm really does work, my intrinsic strength amounts to one hundred pounds, the charm amplifies it tenfold, so presently I wield a solid thousand-pound god strength."

With one thousand pounds of godly strength, I could slaughter a bull with a single punch, or knock down ten people one by one.

"You were the one who wanted to break up in the first place, so we broke up..."

Just as the thought concluded, his phone suddenly rang. It was his boss, Gu Shan.

Jiang Xiaolong picked up the call, only to be greeted by Gu Shan's enraged roar.

"Goddamn it, Jiang Xiaolong, get your ass over here and deliver some bloody takeaway. Work your tail off for me for one more month, and if I'm happy, I might even give you some cash. If you dare to skip work today, I sir will have your legs broken," Gu Shan threatened furiously.

Jiang Xiaolong tightened his fist, abruptly hanging up the call. Remembering the humiliation he faced at Gu Shan's place in the morning, he was seething with anger.

"Gu Shan, I was just about to settle accounts with you, but you're unexpectedly making it easy for me by delivering yourself to my doorstep."

Previously, due to his lack of strength, he’d been unable to retaliate against the goons under Gu Shan's orders, but now armed with thousand pounds god strength, he feared nothing.

However, the god strength charm only lasted an hour. He must resolve this within an hour.

Swiftly, he hopped onto a bus, five minutes later, he got off and turned the corner to arrive at the "Family Restaurant", rushing through the entrance. This was Gu Shan's restaurant.

Straight to the fifth floor, he arrived at Gu Shan's office, kicking the door open without any hesitation.

Bang!

The door was blasted apart by Jiang Xiaolong's kick, an act impossible for an ordinary man to accomplish.

Just as he entered, an unsightly scene immediately greeted his eyes.

A ravishing woman dressed in black stockings was lying on the office desk, a hefty fatty fervently coupling with her.

Jiang Xiaolong's sudden appearance caused them both to freeze in shock, and the woman raised her head. Jiang Xiaolong instantly recognized her.

She was called Qin Yue, and she had undergone plastic surgery to achieve the standard web celebrity look. Standing at the doorway, he already got a whiff of the overpowering perfume she was wearing.

She was the manager of the restaurant. Half a year ago, she was merely a waitress. No wonder she managed to climb up to the managerial position; she used her body as currency.

That hefty individual was Gu Shan, with a sallow complexion, telltale signs of excessive indulgence in liquor and sex.

"Damn it, Jiang Xiaolong, instead of delivering takeaway for me, you dare to kick my door, are you sick of living?"

"Hmph." Jiang Xiaolong snorted and like a formidable tiger, he stepped forward, ordering, "Give me my wages back."

"Did my men not teach you a good lesson before, and you still dare to ask for wages?" As Gu Shan talked, he craftily shot out a text message.

Jiang Xiaolong saw all these, not that it mattered to him.

"I work for you, why shouldn't you pay me?"

Qin Yue who had just dressed herself decently, huffed in anger and stood up in her high heels.

"Jiang Xiaolong, you still dare to demand a salary, I haven't even accounted for the food ingredients you stole from the restaurant yet."

After saying this, she gave Gushan a meaningful look.

Caught in an affair, Qin Yue despised Jiang Xiaolong and was determined to take revenge on him.

Gushan understood her implication, and roared, "That's right, you stole lobster and abalone from the restaurant, totaling over thirty thousand dollars, I will accuse you of theft, have you put in jail."

If the affair between him and Qin Yue gets out, it will inevitably cause controversy. If they could send Jiang Xiaolong to jail, they could continue their clandestine love affair.

He took pride in his connections, believing that with a little manipulation, he could totally handle Jiang Xiaolong, a background-less college student.
