77 Chapter 77- An Accident in the Bathhouse
Yang Chen's attire looked quite shady. Nevertheless, it didn't take long for the attitude of the middle aged man to do a complete 180° when he took out a shiny looking gold stone from his space ring.
"A space ring and gold Profound Stones? T-This… please forgive my behaviour, I will immediately prepare your room" The middle aged man hurriedly got up from his seat and went up the stairs to prepare a room for Yang Chen.
After a while, he came down all out of breath as he rubbed his palm and gave yang chen a bootlicking smile.
"Dear guest, your room is the first room on the second floor, please rest for a while, I will soon send someone to bring some food to you".
With that, Yang Chen headed towards the second floor and opened the first room that was prepared for him. Of course, compared to the modern day hotels of earth, this room cannot be considered much but the place was quite decent and clean.
Far more better than the barn like shed the previous owner of the body lived in or the caves and the forest he was used to live in.
Most important of all the room had a bed. How long had it been since he slept on a bed? Although he had grown to hate beds in his first life because of his illness that confined him to one, he was starting to miss the feeling of sleeping on one after living in a jungle for more than two months in his second.
"Ahh~ this is the feeling" Yang Chen flumped himself on top of the bed and enjoyed its comfort.
He did not have to wait long for the servant to show up with trays of food releasing an aromatic aura.
"Please enjoy your food dear guest" Leaving behind those words, the servant exited.
Finally, he got to try some food that was not bland or had no taste enhancer. As Lin Mang had promised to him, the food here was truly delicious or maybe it was because he hadn't tried any good food in years, he quickly emptied all the plates.
Yang Chen gave a loud burp without minding any manner before exploring the room. It was comparatively big, had a bed, table and chairs and a balcony that gave the view of the city outside.
"It is a fine place. Hm? Is that a mirror" Yang Chen noticed a small mirror in one corner of the room.
He walked towards it and for the first time since coming to this world, he had a good look of his face. As there was no pond or lake in the area of the jungle he had delved in, he had no idea how he looked like.
His only recollection was from the memory of the previous owner of the body and the posters of him. However, now that he took a good look at himself in the mirror, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
There was a good reason why Lin Mang failed to recognise him, it was not because he had changed somewhat or he had no recollection of Yang Chen's appearance. It was because he looked nothing like the guy in the poster.
How in the world the scrawny, short little boy in the poster him? The guy in the picture hardly looked like 4 feet 7 while the guy in the mirror was well above 5 feet 7 for his age.
Heights aside, even their looks were different. He had a sharp, refined look with aloof brows and jet black hair. His eyes were like two black holes and had an enigmatic air about them.
He didn't want to brag, but with his current looks, he could easily become a tv star or a model back on Earth. Whereas, the guy in the poster looked malnourished with hollowed eyes that almost sank inside their sockets, a dull square face and short hair.
Forget about Lin Mang even the people from the Zhang clan who had seen him every day, would be unable to recognise him.
Although that was the case, Yang Chen believed that the poster should hold some truth, perhaps he really did look like that before. However, how was it possible that he changed so much in just a matter of two months?
What Yang Chen did not know was that as he levelled up, the system changed his physique to the best possible state which in the process changed his contours and improved his health.
It unlocked all of the untapped potentials of his physical body and stimulated his growth, his skin cells, bones and muscles. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Additionally, the demonic beast meat that he ate on a daily basis inside the star forest jungle, was also filled with high protein which further hastened the process.
And last but not least, after he changed his destroyed physique with the Extremely Evil Nihility Body, he no longer looked anything like the previous Yang Chen.
This was a good thing, now he wouldn't have to worry about the Zhang clan come chasing after him all the time. He also wouldn't have to wear these shady looking clothes everywhere in this city.
Yang Chen felt like a heavy burden was lifted off from his shoulders. As he lazed around the bed, he suddenly remembered the words lIn Mang said to him about the inn.
"According to him, the inn also has a bathhouse" It had been a long time since he had taken a bath.
To be more exact, he had never had the opportunity to. Frankly, he should be stinking by now, so why wasn't he giving off any smell? After a bit of investigation, Yang Chen soon found the answer to his query.
It was because of the robes he had taken from the corpse of that old man. These robes that he had donned on, were no ordinary robes, it was made of some unique kind of material that completely blocked the odour of the wearer.
Not only that, but it also suppresses their presence. This was also the reason why the guards of the Lin family were unable to gauge his strength and thought that he was just some ordinary person.
