By the afternoon, when you returned to the siblings' residence, your cultivation had reached the "Seventh Stage of the Crystal Realm."

Furthermore, you have to admit that the control system is quite weak without external assistance.

[The Qi Realm allows one to release their internal energy, the "Power of Manipulation," as an attack, but it's merely equivalent to a weak gust of wind blowing by.]

[Liquid Realm: Unleashing the "Power of Manipulation" within the body, which has a liquid-like texture, as an attack, but its power is only equivalent to a single raindrop falling.]

[The ninth level of the Liquid Realm is just a cup of water.]

It can't even harm a weak point like the eyes.

Even being a cup is too boring.

What abstract description did you just use this time?

[The crystal mirror is like a child throwing a stone.]

[By taking them by surprise, one can manage to take on two opponents.]

[Your seventh-dan Cao Zhijing is just a case of replacing the aforementioned child with a teenager, and throwing larger stones, the size of pebbles, capable of causing a fatal head injury with a single blow.]

[This level of skill is close to that of a Martial Master within the Zun Yuan system!]

[A martial artist who can unleash a powerful burst of energy that can shatter a stone wall, while a martial artist of the same level, at the seventh stage of the Crystal Realm, would simply pick up a pebble and smash it against the stone wall... at most, a few stone dust would fall.]

"If I didn't have the Dao Seal, and instead combined the values ​​and mechanisms of other systems, relying solely on the Manipulation System, my strength would probably still be around the mid-stage of the Innate Realm."

"Now, he's dozens of times stronger than when he first started training."

"This planet must be invincible now."

[You seem a bit melancholic; rapid leveling up brings many troubles, and there's no challenge at all.]

"I really have to use a mecha as my restraint now, otherwise it's too boring."

"The first to enjoy this treatment were the Qilin clan, who had the advantage of being in close proximity. It's hard to imagine how envious the others will be."

In the evening, Xu Wen returned home and, after finishing his meal, called out to you, "Brother Yun, go to bed early."

【"Why?"】

"Because we need to be well-rested, as a new batch of garbage ships will be coming to dump their trash here around 4 a.m. tonight!"

He exclaimed excitedly, "We need to rob trash and earn enough credits to have a chance to heal my sister's leg!"

Looking into your eyes, he added, "And also to accumulate funds for you to reclaim the Holy Land's airspace!"

"Oh." You nodded, accepting his request to join an online dungeon.

At two in the morning, Xu Wen took you away, tossing you a school uniform.

[There is also a firearm that can be enhanced using the power of manipulation within the body, using special materials to improve its quality, such as reducing recoil and increasing accuracy.]

He also went to the garbage dump with a gun the day before yesterday, but unfortunately, he couldn't outshoot Scarface in their shootout.

[After hearing about the power of the "Garbage King" in this area, you're curious how this weak newbie dared to steal the newly dumped garbage.]

"According to you, there are seven 'garbage kings' in this garbage disposal area number 612, and you can't even beat one of their henchmen... Aren't you afraid of getting shot to death like you did the day before yesterday?"

Xu Wen was somewhat embarrassed: "It's different. The garbage ships don't dump garbage in one place; they spread it evenly throughout the garbage area. No matter how many people the Garbage King has, they're just a small fraction of the total area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers."

"Everyone in this area has an equal opportunity to compete for the trash."

"And—" he patted his school uniform, "I also have this, a get-out-of-jail-free card!"

"There are too many people participating in the treasure hunt tonight, and too many eyes on me. If something happens to me and others notify the school, the school will make a big fuss about it..."

"So, your death will trigger an investigation by the school?" You seemed quite interested. "Then your school is pretty good, unlike some I know that only know how to suppress the news."

"Hilarious, jumping won't help."

Xu Wen gave you a strange look and continued, "You're overthinking it. The school will sue the perpetrator for harming a student. Someone like me is worth about 10,000 credits."

"But not a single credit from the compensation will go to my sister; it will just go into the principal's coffers, providing him with a tiny bit of cooling expenses."

[At this point, he became excited.]

"You have no idea how stingy and miserly the principal of my Starshine School is, nor do you know how much of the teaching funds allocated from the 'Holy Land Airspace' he embezzled!"

"Once, a security guard died of heatstroke because he refused to turn on the air conditioning in an attempt to save on electricity bills!"

"..."

"He's probably eating rare metals with every meal!"

"I'm not that poor."

"The day before each inspection team arrives, the quality of the food in the school cafeteria improves by three levels, and the price drops by a full five times. We all call it 'the day of grace.'"

"To him, seeing the inspection team was like seeing a man-eating demon."

"Some people say this finally allows him to bleed a little."

"It doesn't hurt that much."

"And some school equipment, including this school uniform I'm wearing. Although it's a high-end item, according to information from other places, these were all issued by higher authorities and are standard, universal, and free supplies."

"But it's worn on my behalf on a rental basis. It's taken back and given to new students whenever they graduate or are dismissed. If it gets damaged, I have to pay ten credits in compensation."

Xu Wen said helplessly, "That's why I didn't wear it to the garbage dump yesterday. If I encountered scavengers alone, it wouldn't provide any protection, and it might even get damaged from rubbing, and the bill would be charged to Xiao Yan."

"But today is different. This will be a night of great rewards. Wearing this will not only save our lives, but if we're lucky, the two of us might even find treasures worth tens or hundreds of credits!"

You put on the Xuwen school uniform you were supposed to change into; it felt half a size too big, but it didn't bother you much. "Speaking of which," you said, "if this thing is so good, why don't other garbage collectors use similar methods to scare people?"

Xu Wen pointed to his face: "They have to look under 18."

"Besides, a get-out-of-jail-free card isn't a get-out-of-beating card. Even if you're afraid of the school demanding compensation, you can still injure someone, even beat them half to death."

"Moreover, the materials used in these school uniforms are special and difficult to counterfeit. Furthermore, regardless of whether they are damaged or not, the school must collect them all unless the person and their clothes are found dead in an unknown place, and all leads are cut off."
