TUMIT – Volume 1: Chapter 4

After saying this, Chen Youzai began wandering around the room. Finding nothing worth looking at, he turned his attention back to the middle-aged man. Immediately afterward, he burst out laughing with a pfft, laughing as he said, “What? You said you were soaking in the lake for three whole years? No wonder you look so sturdy, but felt so light when I pulled you. So you were all puffed up from soaking! Hahaha…”

As he laughed, Chen Youzai felt that the middle-aged man’s expression was still just as cold and gloomy. Realizing that he was being somewhat boring, Chen Youzai stopped laughing. Just then, the man slowly began speaking again. “Whatever wish you state, I can help you fulfill it.”

Chen Youzai sighed deeply over the fact that he must have read too many fairy tales as a child, since even his dreams were this childish. But looking at the man’s solemn expression, Chen Youzai still cooperated and thought for a moment before saying, “I don’t have any wishes. Even if I did, it would be very hard for you to accomplish.”

“Tell me…”

Chen Youzai’s eyes turned, and he thought to himself that saying it in a dream was not that embarrassing. Maybe he could even vent a little. So he very simply said to the man, “I just want to look a little better. I don’t necessarily have to be especially good-looking. As long as I’m the kind of person people can bear to look at, that’s enough.”

“That is indeed too difficult.” The man slowly let out a breath.

Chen Youzai rolled his eyes at him. He had not expected that even in his own dream, he would be humiliating himself, so Chen Youzai impatiently stomped on the ground several times, planning to wake up and switch to another dream. In the end, it did not work this time. After all that, he was still standing here perfectly fine.

Ignoring his reaction, the man continued speaking to himself. “However, this can be done. I am proficient in the Soul-Transfer Art and can transfer your soul into another person’s body.”

In order to cooperate with the man’s words, and also to make his own dream a little more bizarre, Chen Youzai deliberately put on a shocked expression and cried out, “Wow! You’re really that miraculous?”

The man nodded very seriously, then calmly waited for Chen Youzai’s response.

Chen Youzai laughed dryly a few times, thinking to himself that this time, he had even dreamed of a lunatic—and a kind-hearted lunatic at that, but one whose wild imagination was even worse than his own.

“Even if I become handsome that way, so what? It’s still someone else’s body! Besides, I can’t bear to leave my mom. After changing bodies, wouldn’t I have to get to know a whole new group of people all over again? The ones I know now already give me enough headaches.”

Faced with Chen Youzai’s questioning and scoffing, the man not only did not get angry, but instead explained unhurriedly, “It is not as you imagine. This Soul-Transfer Art can be freely controlled. As long as you keep the silver coin in my hand safe, you can exchange bodies whenever you wish, and you can also freely return to your original body. If you do not want anyone else entering your body, you can also seal off the other person’s soul and leave a basic sub-soul inside yourself. That way, nothing abnormal will happen to your body.”

Chen Youzai’s eyes began to shine. This thing sounded pretty fun! He took it and looked it over. It was no different from an ordinary coin, except there were no numbers on it. He weighed it in his hand too, and it did not have much weight. Then he bit it and felt that it seemed like silver. Seriously, even in a dream, it was this shabby. If it had been gold, he would at least have some face when telling his classmates about it later!

Amid Chen Youzai’s sighs and complaints, the man patiently taught him the steps for using it. When Chen Youzai heard that it was actually this simple, he once again lamented that he had no imagination. As for all the precautions the man mentioned afterward, Chen Youzai only listened casually. He only vaguely remembered that he could not use it recklessly just because it was fun.
