Chapter 52: The Proper Way to Use a Radiant Skin
Page 1/3
At Jade Emperor Peak, in front of the main hall.
As the sunlight bathed Wu Bin, his entire being relaxed.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the timed task. You have received a dazzling reward—Buddha’s Radiance.]
Wu Bin: ???
Staring blankly at the system’s reward, Wu Bin was utterly confused.
A dazzling reward? Buddha’s Radiance?
I spent five whole days trekking until my legs nearly gave out, and in the end, you only give me a flashy effect?
Is that polite?
Seeing Wu Bin standing with his eyes closed on the steps, a group of staff sighed in relief.
“Finally finished climbing the last mountain. If he had gone on for another hour, I’d be in the hospital.”
“This kid must have some mental issues. Should we take him back for a psychiatric evaluation?”
“That makes sense! Why didn’t I think of that before?”
He Bingbing, dressed in a purple tracksuit, walked up to Wu Bin and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, taking a deep breath.
At this moment, the two looked remarkably like a young couple.
Wu Bin was handsome but frail, with a pale complexion, possessing a kind of sickly nobleman’s beauty.
He Bingbing was beautiful and well-shaped.
Her purple jacket paired with gray straight-leg sweatpants made her ponytail look all the more youthful and vibrant.
Photographer Yu Peng knew how to capture the moment.
He carried his camera up to them, half-squatted, and moved slowly, just as seriously as if shooting a film.
At that moment, He Bingbing asked, “Wu Bin, you climbed all five sacred mountains in five days. Do you have anything to say to the viewers?”
Wu Bin opened his eyes and looked at He Bingbing. “I’ll say it again: neither illness nor hardship can defeat our unyielding will.”
“Standing here today, I want to prove one thing to everyone!”
“No matter how many mountains block our path, man is the peak that towers above!”
As Wu Bin spoke, he spread his arms wide, seemingly embracing the future, but in truth, he subtly pushed He Bingbing aside to avoid blocking the camera.
Ding.
[Buddha’s Radiance dazzling effect activated.]
As the system’s prompt sounded, the sun slowly rose on the horizon.
The first light of dawn fell on the palace plaque, then on Wu Bin.
In that moment, the Buddha’s Radiance shone forth!
Wu Bin was gilded in a golden aura, a halo appearing behind his head!
Viewers in the livestream erupted.
“Whoa, is Brother Wu ascending to immortality?”
“I always knew Brother Wu was no ordinary man, incredible!”
“Wife, come see God!”
“Brother Wu at this moment reminds me of a modern poem I want to share: Ah! The rising eastern dawn, the shimmering dusk!”

Wu Bin didn’t watch the livestream; he had no idea how he looked to the viewers.
But as the system’s notifications continued, he felt certain he looked absolutely stunning!
Ding.
[Surprise from Yang Kang, Reputation +50]
[Admiration from He Bingbing, Reputation +100]
[Shock from Yu Peng, Reputation +100]
[Shock from Li Guotai, Reputation +100]
[Current Reputation: 3,024,980; Invincibility Time: Thirty-five days]
Alright, alright.
So that’s how you use dazzling effects.
I’m truly a genius!
Earlier, Wu Bin wondered why the system gave him something as ostentatious and impractical as [Buddha’s Radiance].
Now he saw—the effect was meant to help him hype up his reputation.
After all, with the skill [Defy Death],
the higher the reputation, the longer his invincibility lasted.
Indeed, there are no useless skills, only useless hosts.
System, I misjudged you!
At that thought, a tear slid down Wu Bin’s cheek.
I’m invincible for thirty-five days now.
What’s a major hemorrhage to me? Can it beat me?
He Bingbing, ever sentimental, covered her mouth again, moved to tears.
“Wu Bin, you’re so strong!”
Her voice cracked as she handed him a tissue.
Wu Bin smiled and thanked her.
At this moment, he was gentle and refined, like an immortal.
All viewers felt their souls cleansed.
Those battling illness formed Wu Bin fan clubs, declaring war on disease!
If Wu Bin could face so many serious illnesses with a smile, why couldn’t they?
Just do it!
After descending the steps, He Bingbing asked,
“Wu Bin, you still have ten days off. What are your plans next?”
Wu Bin smiled and said, “Let’s eat first. Everyone’s worked hard these days. I’ll treat you all to a meal.”
The staff cheered loudly.
Great, this bastard finally showed some conscience!
Director Gao Shan asked, “Wu Bin, can we take the cable car down the mountain?”

Wu Bin beamed brightly.
“Of course.”
He didn’t want to walk anymore either!
So the group began their grand procession down the mountain.
The men sat together boasting, claiming their stamina was still strong and they could trek the five mountains again without issue.
The women pulled out their phones, searching for local delicacies and group discount coupons.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, under He Bingbing’s lead, the group halted before a bustling food street.
“So many delicious options. Which restaurant should we choose?”
He Bingbing looked to Wu Bin for his opinion.
Wu Bin, feeling flush, said, “You all decide, I’m good with anything.”
Gao Shan suggested, “Let’s have hot pot. It’s lively, plus I have a coupon for a hot pot place.”
Everyone agreed with her proposal and headed to the hot pot restaurant to order.
Seeing such a large group, not to mention the cameras, the owner grew nervous.
He warmly approached and asked, “Are you here for a restaurant review?”
He Bingbing explained, “We’re just here to eat hot pot normally, but we’re doing a lifestyle livestream.”
Isn’t that basically a review?
The owner smiled and said, “Welcome, welcome. But with so many of you and the camera equipment, it might be cramped inside. Would you like to sit outside?”
Wu Bin nodded in agreement.
“Alright then, let’s sit outside.”
The group noisily moved outside and took three tables.
Since Wu Bin was treating, no one held back—they were ready to vent all their pent-up frustration from the trek by ordering wildly.
Even Gao Shan, who was on a diet, immediately ordered three plates of premium beef from the grasslands.
“Wu Bin, what will you have?”
Wu Bin replied calmly, “Start with ten plates of duck’s blood.”
He Bingbing: ???
“You… really like duck’s blood that much?”
“Maybe order two plates first, then add more if needed.”
Wu Bin shook his head seriously. “Order ten plates right away. That makes me feel safer.”
Though puzzled, He Bingbing said nothing more and handed the menu to the owner.
