Chapter 32 1.8 Fang Bubai
"Little beggar!"
Wang Jue said loudly, "In today's society, men suffer and toil. If you were a woman, how could you have fallen into begging? Take my advice and change your gender to become a woman. Once you succeed, you won't have to beg anymore. I'll arrange a job for you at the Fortune House. How about it?"
"Give me...something to eat!"
The little beggar stared blankly, his lines not quite fluent.
Bandhu stared at Wang Jue in utter astonishment, exclaiming, "Holy crap, what are you thinking? Are you a devil? You want to turn this little beggar into a woman? How can he? Can he even do that? This is ridiculous!"
Wang Jue frowned slightly and continued, "Little beggar, you must make up your mind. There are many extraordinary people in the martial world. Surely someone can help you become a woman. Go out and travel around the martial world. I believe you will definitely be able to become a woman successfully."
The little beggar nodded, and suddenly a light shone from his body.
"Ding! Guidance successful! The little beggar has been enlightened by your guidance and has suddenly realized that in order to change his fate and work at the fortune shop, he is determined to change his gender. The young beggar is not good at talking and has a dull personality, but he has extraordinary perseverance and determination."
One dark and windy night, the little beggar overheard one rogue cursing another, calling him a woman without testicles. The little beggar then understood that having no testicles meant being a woman.
On another dark and windy night, the little beggar found a sharp knife.
On a dark and stormy night in the third month, the little beggar ruthlessly swung his knife at his crotch... He miraculously survived and spent half a year recovering from his injuries.
On a dark and stormy night in the fourth month, the little beggar swung his knife again... He miraculously survived, but spent half a year recovering from his injuries!
On the fifth dark and stormy night, the little beggar swung his knife three times, miraculously surviving, and spent half a year recovering from his injuries!
It was still a dark and windy night when the little beggar swung his knife for the fourth time. He still didn't die, but he spent half a year recovering from his injuries!
Half a year passed, then another half; the nights grew darker, the winds stronger; he swung his knife again and again, and finally, after eighteen consecutive swings, the little beggar got his wish! But he discovered he was still not a woman! "The method was wrong, the rogue ruined me," the sorrowful beggar lamented.
"Ding! Your little beggar has repeatedly castrated himself and has now grown into a young beggar. His star rating remains the same, his dialogue has been cleared, and he has obtained a sharp dagger. Loyalty +1!"
The light emanating from the little beggar dimmed.
He was still ragged and disheveled, but he had a middle-aged face, with a sallow complexion, narrow eyes, and an extremely thin figure, exuding a deep gloom.
"I'll go! How can this be acceptable to the lord..."
Wang Jue cursed, then looked at the system notifications again and sighed.
It seems there's nothing wrong with the system's actions this time.
Transforming into a woman is no easy feat.
Castration would be much simpler.
"Eighteen consecutive self-castrations!" Wang Jue looked helplessly at the thin, gloomy middle-aged beggar in front of him and said, "You're quite a ruthless person! I was too naive. This is my fault, not yours!"
The middle-aged beggar had no lines and didn't speak; he just quietly watched Wang Jue.
Bandhu said, "Hahahaha, what an idiot! I thought you could really fool this little beggar into turning into a woman, but it seems there's no change at all."
Wang ignored Bandehu and once again used his infinite guidance.
"You've castrated yourself eighteen times. You're absolutely ruthless. To survive eighteen times shows the protection of Heaven. It's a waste for someone like you not to learn martial arts. Now that you've already castrated yourself, I, the lord, will give you some pointers..."
After a moment's thought, Wang Jue continued, "Let me give you a name first. From now on, you'll be called Dongfang Bubai (Invincible East). There are some unique martial arts techniques in the martial world, such as the Sunflower Manual and the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. To master them, one must first castrate oneself. Since you've already castrated yourself, why not go out into the martial world and seek out those techniques, practice a few, and it won't be in vain that you castrated yourself. By the way, you should change your attire. Get yourself a bright red robe, grow your hair long, and wear a tall black gauze hat. That's settled!"
"Ding, guidance successful!"
"Ding! The young beggar has been enlightened by your guidance and has entered the martial arts world in search of unique skills. On a dark and windy night, he found a manual called 'Virgin Boy Kung Fu,' but abandoned it and did not practice it."
"On another dark and windy night, he found a manual called the 'Nine Yang Skill,' but abandoned it and never practiced it!"
On a dark and stormy night in the third month, he found a manual called "The Golden Body of Arhats," but abandoned it and never practiced it again!
"On another dark and windy night, he found a manual on dual cultivation techniques, but abandoned it and never practiced it!"
"On a dark and windy night, he found a copy of the 'Spring Flower Skill.' He practiced diligently for three years, and his martial arts skills improved. He stole a red-sleeved dress from the Spring Flower Pavilion, and from then on, he stopped begging and became a chivalrous knight-errant. Feeling that the name you gave him wasn't imposing enough, he changed it to 'Invincible in All Directions!'"
"Ding! The young beggar has mutated into the hero [Martial Arts Hero - Unbeatable in All Directions], his star rating has increased to two stars, placing him among the third-rate masters of the martial arts world, and his loyalty has increased by 15!"
"Ding! Bafang Bubai has obtained the line 'The moon is dark and the wind is high, the time is just right'."
"Ding! The Eight Directions Invincible skill has been updated to [Spring Blossom Skill]!"
After the system notification ended, standing in front of Wang Jue was a tall, fair-skinned woman with long hair reaching her waist, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding both heroic spirit and charm, dressed in a red dress.
Judging solely from her face and figure, she is undoubtedly a woman.
Holy crap!
Bandhu jumped far away in fright.
"Awesome!"
Wang Jue was overjoyed.
He immediately brought up the information panel for the invincible Eight Directions.

"A ranged area-of-effect marksman!"
Wang Jue rubbed his chin. This was an unintentional success. He didn't intend to train soldiers; he just wanted to provide a female receptionist for the Fortune House. But it would be great to have trained a group-attack archer, especially since the Invincible Eight Directions in front of him was quite pleasing to the eye.
"A dark and windy night, the timing is perfect!"
When Bafang Bubai uttered his lines, it was surprisingly a female voice.
Wang Jue glanced at the sky; it was broad daylight, so there was no such thing as a dark and windy night. He chuckled, "Your lines are out of place, but judging from the script the AI wrote for you, you seem to have a great affinity for dark and windy nights..."
Bafang Bubai nodded and said, "The night is dark and the wind is high; the timing is perfect!"
"Alright, you still have 800 soul power left. I won't bother you anymore. Go play!"
Wang Jue waved his hand, signaling that Bafang Bubai was free to move around.
"Wait a minute, let me see, is it really that amazing?"
Bandehu leaned closer to Bafang Bubai to examine him, clicking his tongue in amazement. Wang Jue glanced at him and shouted, "Bandehu!"
Bandhu startled the eerie scarecrow, who quickly jumped back and shouted, "Demon, don't call my name! Don't you dare talk to me!"
After saying that, he skipped away as if he were running away.
"That idiot!"
Wang Jue smiled slightly, then began to think about how to assign receptionists to the Fortune House.
"Eight Directions Invincible looks like a woman, but she probably can't work at the Fortune Shop. Maybe we should try finding a little beggar to give her some pointers..."
Thinking of this, Wang Jue quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.
"Forget it, let's not get into any fancy stuff. The Eight Directions Invincible's guidance wasn't recorded as a formula, so his appearance is an anomaly. The safest approach is to recruit a proper female subordinate. Although I still have 800 soul power points, I can't waste them easily. Maybe I should go out to sea and try my luck, or take a trip to the mercenary camp in the 985 newbie village..."
Thinking of this, Wang Juen went to find the plasterer, the bricklayer, and the bricklayer.
