Chapter 8. Plans for the future

Chapter 8. Plans for the future

From the things he had experienced after coming to this world, Ren reached a conclusion that to survive in this world, he had to become stronger.

Although the world he was in was a modern world where science and technology are the most important but this world also has the hidden side to it.

As the author, He know much better than someone else how much danger this world posses.

Although many things are hidden from the ordinary people, it did not mean that they didn't exist.

Ren had thought all about, how he is going to become powerful.

He had two advantages, first he knew the future as the author and second was his system.

He had already gotten some precious skills which were more or less equivalent to hidden powers.

Hidden powers just like his name were hidden from the world and no one knows where to find them but they are very useful.

First, even a ordinary person can also use hidden powers, for ordinary people they are like superpowers but for cultivators, magicians or aura users, it is one of the most precious thing.

There are many types of hidden powers like flying, lightining, healing, and the one the mc had gotten his hands on 'Dragon roar'.

No one knows where these hidden powers come from, even he himself had not idea where the hidden powers came from, which was a pretty shameful thing as the author.

Some say that they are gifts from god, some say that are the devil traps but no matter what people say, it is a very valuable thing in the eyes of the ones which knew it's value.

They are extremely useful as they don't take any energy to activate, the only side effect is that people feel tired after using it, So, most people use it as a hidden weapon.

But since they are so rare, it's difficult to find one hidden power, but for Ren he knew locations of some hidden powers and the closest one was also here in the city which will be taken away by the mc in the future but there was also a another hidden power in this city which Ren had his eyes on.

Second, to become stronger he had decided to focus on Aura training.

The reason for this was that he don't have a cultivation manual for cultivation nor he can learn magic as he didn't have any magic teacher.

The only thing he can do now is to focus on Aura.

Aura unlike qi and mana can also be cultivated by ordinary people as it didn't need a mana core or a martial root, it just needs a sturdy body to withstand aura.

But to generate aura, one has to heavily practice and make his body like steel. One has to practice for 10 or 20 years before they generate the first strand of aura which was the threshold to start aura training.

Aura training heavily relies on will and determination, that's why even it can be use by ordinary people, not many can achieve it.

As for Ren, he had already passed the threshold because of the system and had already generated the first strand of aura. Now, he only needs a Aura cultivation manual and some techniques to practice, then he will be officially on the path of a Aura warrior.

And as for where he could find a Aura cultivation manual, he already had a place for it.

He also thought that he could also get some good subordinates to protect him in danger. No matter how much power he will gain, for now he is just a 16 year old kid.

There were many unfortunate people in the novel whose fates were terrible or they choose the wrong side, means that they go against the mc, he can change their fates and also gain some subordinates.

Ren made various plans to how to proceed from now on.

..........

Two days later, Ren had came to the Rock entertainment, now officially White wolf entertainment, as today will be the first day to record the songs for Song Xue.

He had already wrote some songs for her which were hit in his previous world.

When he reached the studio, he saw many people sitting there.

Apart from Cai Zong and his son, there were also a woman in her mid-thirties who was talking to Song Xue. There were also some people standing in the back talking to each other.

When they saw him entering the room, all the eyes turned into him. The gazes of all the people were on him.

Before anybody could say something, the woman who was earlier talking to Song Xue came in front of him and said with stars in her eyes.

"Are you the one who wrote those songs. I really like them. I never had seen songs this good. If you don't mind, how about having coffee with me after the work"

As he was thinking how to respond, Cai Zong intervened and said.

"I already told you to behave yourself, didn't I Shin Fei, how many times I have told you to not act like that"

As Cai Zong words, the middle age lady who is called Shin Fei grumbled.

"I was just trying to introduce myself to him, Why are you always scolding me?"

"I am not scolding you, I am just saying to show some respect as, you know he is the new vice president of the roc….I mean white wolf entertainment"

"Yeah, yeah I know, don't worry"

Then she turned towards me and said.

"Do you mind if I call you Little Ren, Vice president"

I nodded at that, I am still not comfortable people calling me Vice president.

"See, He don't have any problems with that, so do you mind shutting your mouth as the musicians will be talking here and you are just here to see, right"

When she said that in a rude manner, I found that no one was finding it odd and even Cai Zong was silent and just nodded.

After shutting down the president,Shin Fei started asking me various types of questions about how did I wrote the songs that good and who do I get the inspiration, of which I gave some made up answers but Shin Fei still asks me for a coffee which I declined.

When the recording started, Song Xue was still nervous and making mistakes but as it progressed, she got better and better.

After some time we had already recorded all the songs and everyone was excited about it. Seeing the quality of songs, they can already see that it will be a huge hit.

I also got to know more about the people present in the studio.The middle age women is actually the main composer/musician of the company. She been with the company from the start and she and Cai Zong knows each other for many years. She also has written some famous songs for the previous main singer for the company Zhang Ruoxi.

The people behind her were the ones who had prepared the background music of the songs and by listening to the songs, he can tell that they had done a good job. They were working with Shin Fei for a long time and he could clearly see that they had a passion for music.

At first, they were wary of me as they didn't know how to talk to him as he was the Vice president of the company but after talking for a bit, they dropped their wariness around him.

They were overjoyed and hardly believe it when Ren told him that their names would be written in the making of the songs. They even cried as this is the first time their names would be on a song, they had been working for many years creating background music for songs but their work is never been truly recognized.

No one cares about them, all people only cares about the main singer, who had the time to think of background musicians.

After the recording finished, everyone had happy faces. Even Cai Zong who was tense during the recording, was in a happy mood after listening to it.

Song Xue immediately started crying as she didn't believe it that she finally had a song of her own. All the members laughed at this and their relationship with her also got better.

Shin Fei grumbled to me that all the singers she had seen were pretty arrogant and how she is relieved that Song Xue is not arrogant.

Well, the recording went well and Ren have also decided to get his hands on the Aura cultivation manual.

....

It was a old rusty one room apartment, there was a girl squatting down on the floor while crying, she wore old dusty clothes which were torn from some places. She had a cute face but due to not getting enough food, she was skinny. There was also a scar on her neck which make her overall appearance more ugly.

In front of her were some burly men who were looking down on her. There were smiling menacingly at her. There were clear disgust in their eyes when they stare at the girl.

While sobbing, the girl said.

"Please....give...us…some more…time, I will…surely pay off my….debt.

"It is the last warning girl, the next time if you didn't pay up your debt, then we will just sell you. Let's go."

As the leader of the group said that, the burly men left but the girl was able to hear their mutterings.

"Will that girl even fetch a price?"

"I doubt it, if it was me, I would never buy someone with that scar"

"Yeah, I am sure no one will want her"

"She should just die, I bet no one will even marry her in the future"

"Who will marry a girl that disgusting"

"She even had to take care of his useless brother"

The girl cried more when she heard them but she can do nothing but cry.

She used to have a happy family but all the things shattered when her father passed away, leaving her family of three with a debt of millions.

Her mother from the shock of her father's death and the debt became ill and had to admitted to a hospital, where she was diagnosed with leukemia.

They sold their everything but they couldn't pay off their debt. She had to drop out from her school to earn money for her mother medical bills and her brother studies. She also had to pay off the debt.

While working in a factory, she was involved in a accident where she got the scar from.

She had already stopped living for herself. She knew that she will never find her true happiness. She was just living for the sake of her mother and her brother. The greatest wish in her life was for her mother to recover and her brother can earn some money and live a happy life.

But everyday she was shattering from inside, her ears had went numb hearing words of disgust for her from his fellow workers. She was treated worse than a animal by everyone except her family.

She wanted to suicide but everytime the thought crossed her head, she will think about her mother and brother. She will think about how they will live after her death and her legs will go cold.

But she knew that she will shatter completely in some days but she doesn't know what to do.

The worst part was that, she didn't even know why her father would take a debt of millions and where the money had gone to.

As she was crying, the door opened and just from the footsteps she knows that her brother has come home.

When the door opened, a boy of around 14-15 entered. He had average features and there were bruises on his face. When he saw her sister squatting down and crying, he ran to her and asked in a worried voice.

"Sister, what…what happened to you. Did the loan sharks came again, they didn't do something to you, right, tell me sister?"

She didn't said anything and just hugged her brother and cried, she didn't know what to do, she knows that until a miracle happens, she will not be able to pay off her debt even if she worked a hundred years, Her mother will also probably die, as she herself knew that the hospital she was admitted in was only a third rated one.

She really wished for a miracle, she really wished that just like in fairy tales, a knight will come to save her but she knows that it was just her thoughts but as she was crying, a figure appeared from the door.

She didn't know what to do when she sees him, she had never seen such a handsome man in her life, he had a calm smile on his face and with short white hair and prefect features, he was literally every girl's dream husband.

He looked at her, no he was not looking at her face but the scar, when she saw him looked at the scar, she knew that there would be surely disgust in his eyes but when she looked at him, there was no disgust, he was only calmly looking at her, he even had a smile on his face.

This time she really didn't know what to do, she was used to people looking at her with disgust but this was the first time that someone has smiled towards her, she didn't know what to do and a blush appeared on her face and she was more stunned when she heard his words.

"…Do you wish to change your life?"

She had a feeling that the miracle she had wished for had come.
