[Mission Complete! Reward 1000 System Store Points. Would you like to Spend 300 System Store Points to open the System Store?]

Trampas looked around his room and saw flecks of black and brown goo all around him. His clothes were soaked in the stuff. It looked as if he had violent diarrhea while sitting in the center of his room. He leaned close and smelled it. It didn't exactly smell like he had crapped himself, but it was a terrible odor. He stood up and felt as if all the muscles in his body had strengthened to an unimaginable level. All of his movements were disjointed and twitchy. It took nearly half an hour to finally gain control over his own body. He damaged several parts of his room from not being able to control his strength. It was like someone had replaced all of his furniture with paper versions.

The Asian lady who had brought tea the day before came into his room once again this time she had tied a scarf around her nose. She cleared her throat and asked, "Young Master, will you please come with me to take a bath while I have your room cleaned?"

Trampas awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and replied, "Yes, Ma'am, I'd appreciate that. Say, can y'all explain what's going on here? Who are you and where am I?"

Ah Yi sighed and shook her head and muttered, "Aiyah, he did go stupid." She thought for a moment and said, "You are Young Master Long Tian. You are the son of Official Long Teng. We live in the city of Baichi in the province of Yuchun Changjue di Difang. Your mother is Madam Gu, the Master's first wife. You ended up like this after getting into a fight with Childe Li, the son of Prosecutor Li. As for me, I am your mother's maid Ah Yi."

Trampas had his mouth hanging open a little and then burst out, "Whaaaa? That's bullshit, pardon my French, Ma'am, but my name is TW Jefferson and the last thing I remember was cleaning the fryer at the Sack a Suds back in Birmingham!"

Ah Yi had a strange look on her face as she asked, "Tea Dubuya?" She shook her head and then frowned, "Young Master, please get in the bath."

Trampas allowed himself to be herded into the bath he cleared his throat and asked, "Hey wait, do you mind giving me a little privacy here?"

Ah Yi sighed and nodded thankfully she could escape his stench at last. She left him in the bath and quickly raced over to find the Madam to let her know about what the Young Master had said.

Madam Gu poured herself a bowl of rice wine and took a stiff drink before Ah Yi raced into the room. Her eyebrow twitched and she asked without preamble, "What is it now?"

"Young Master claims to have lost his memory and is speaking strange meaningless words. He asked me to call him 'Tea Dubuya' I think that must be the martial arts name he has decided to call himself. His room was broken as we feared. The sounds we heard were him trashing it."

Madam Gu rubbed her forehead, "How much longer do we have to wait for the Doctor?"

Ah Yi looked down and replied, "We asked for the Doctor when the Young Master was brought home from the Fragrant Cloud, but the Doctor is very busy He may still make us wait a week."

"A week, good good good, the Doctor is such a good man." She frowned, "It's not your fault Ah Yi, let's just hope my son doesn't hurt himself further or lose any more face for our house until he arrives."

In the bathhouse, Trampas scrubbed himself clean. He finally saw his new appearance as he looked into the water, "Holy shit! I'm a damn Chinaman!" He looked at himself from several angles, "Jesus H. Christ, my hair is long like a girl. I need to cut this back."

Suddenly a message from the System appeared in his vision once again...

[Second Mission: Regain your face. Travel to the Fragrant Cloud and confront Childe Li]

[Time remaining 7 hours 59 minutes]

"Noice! So I just need to find this Childe Li and I can get my real face back? What the hell am I sitting around in the bath for then! Hot damn!" He looked around and noticed that his old clothes had been taken away so he yelled out, "Excuse me, ma'am, miss Ah Yi? Can I get some duds? Maybe some jeans and a t-shirt?"

Ah Yi quickly returned to find out what the Young Master was yelling about before he upset any other members of the household, "Young Master did you need something?"

"Hey there Ah Yi, can y'all get me some britches and a shirt?" He stood up exposing a well-muscled upper body.

Ah Yi looked at him in shock, "Young Master? Wha-What happened to you? Your body..."

"Oh, this?" He ran his hand over his chest and then chuckled awkwardly, "Yeah, so I got up to the fifth layer of that key stuff." He rubbed the back of his head, "So how about some clothes, yeah?"

Ah Yi brought back a clean Tang Suit for him and new shoes. She helped him out of the bathtub and dried him off inspecting him to make sure he was completely clean.

Trampas was a little upset by her work since his doodle was hanging out, but he didn't mind nearly as much since he'd be getting his real face back later and so it wasn't like she was really seeing him naked at the moment. "Hey, Ah Yi, I need to go over to that Fragrant Cloud place, how do I get there from here?"

Ah Yi slapped the back of his head and yelled out, "Are you stupid? You just came back from such a severe beating and you want to go get another?" She gasped and covered her mouth before kowtowing to him, "Young Master I apologize, I don't know what came over me!"

"Ah, well, it's alright. It didn't hurt none. I get whatcher saying, but I got to go there and get my face back, so you know. It's real important. Plus, if I fail the mission I'll be dead anyway so I don't have no choice." Trampas then asked, "Hey, can I get a favor. I need a haircut."

Ah Yi raced over to find the Madam after attending to the Young Master she burst into the parlor and called out, "Madam, Madam! It's terrible the Young Master has gone to the Fragrant Cloud to get his face back!"

Madam Gu slammed her hands against the table and roared, "He did what?!"

Ah Yi put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath before giving a detailed account, "The Young Master seems to have cultivated, he claims to be at the 5th layer of Qi Refining but I am not sure, he was changed his once pudgy lazy body was well muscled. There was something else... He requested I cut his hair but he demanded I cut it weird. He called it business in the front and party in the back."

Madam Gu's eyebrow twitched away, "I don't care about his hair, I am worried that he'll die if he fights again!" She rubbed her face aggressively and then took a breath, "Quickly call for my brother tell him to race to the Fragrant Cloud, we can only hope he can solve this mess before I lose my son!"

"I sent little Hei Hei along with the Young Master, he isn't powerful, but he is at the 4th layer of Qi Refining and can stall things if the Young Master gets into trouble." Ah Yi replied.

"Good good, thank you Ah Yi, you did well!" Madam relaxed a little, "Have my brother contacted, this is all his fault anyway. If he hadn't given my son delusions of grandeur none of this would ever have happened!"

Ah Yi started to leave and then stopped and asked, "Madam, do you think it's possible that the Young Master really cultivated?"

Madam Gu thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know what you saw, but where could he have even learned a cultivation technique? My brother uses the Thunder Fire technique he bought from a traveling merchant and it took him twenty years just to reach the ninth layer, even he didn't reach the 5th layer until he had practiced for ten years. Only those geniuses of Royal blood have cultivation manuals that can work so fast. That Childe Li is only at the 4th layer after practicing for four years and he is considered a once in ten years genius."

Ah Yi sighed and then said, "Well little Hei Hei should be able to stall things until your brother arrives. I will have him contacted at once!" She raced out of the room after a quick bow.
