Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?

Chapter 6 "Xiao Yi, Save Me"

Wang Yi is the kind of modern college graduate who is lazy and ignorant of farming. Coupled with a miserable year of internships, he was already malnourished and in poor health. So this bench has no power at all, and the flight speed is extremely slow.

This may have interfered with the monster's judgment; it only gave a slight twist.

However, the monster overlooked the fact that it now had three legs—three limbs—and was severely injured all over. This twist was simply not enough for it to dodge.

The bench slammed into the monster, sending it sprawling face-first onto the ground.

However, unlike Wang Yi, who was physically weak, the monster adjusted its posture in the blink of an eye.

Almost simultaneously, the bench struck the cupboard behind the monster, and the stacked plates clattered to the ground.

The monster that was charging at Wang Yi suddenly turned around and headed towards the cupboard.

Wang Yi immediately realized that this guy might have lost his sight and was relying entirely on his hearing to move around.

He grabbed the plates that hadn't been collected from the table and threw them to the other side of the cafeteria.

The monster immediately turned around and charged towards the source of the sound, knocking over all the tables and chairs along the way.

Taking advantage of the noise created by the monster, Wang Yi took out his phone and stuffed it into the pile of corpses next to him.

He then casually picked up the deceased's belongings and threw them elsewhere, while crouching down and reaching for the vending machine that Old Shi had been fiddling with.

The candy that Lao Shi just exchanged should be there.

The thing Wang Yi threw landed, and the monster immediately turned around.

That's right, that's it! You thing whose intelligence is already broken, watch me fully charge you and use my cheat code to kill you—although I don't know what I can do when I'm fully charged yet.

Wang Yi moved stealthily as he thought about it.

Dead legs, hurry up!

At that very moment, the noises made by the monster suddenly stopped.

Wang Yi instinctively felt a chill run down his spine.

He glanced back and saw that the monster was turning its head, its melted eyes pointing in Wang Yi's direction.

I didn't make a sound—could it be breathing and heartbeat?
This guy realized he should be checking his breathing and heartbeat!
The monster suddenly accelerated.

Wang Yi didn't care about anything else and shouted loudly, "Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi!"

"I'm here," his phone answered faithfully.

The monster suddenly turned its head, adopting a defensive posture, clearly caught off guard by the sudden appearance of "human voices".

Wang Yi: "Play Beethoven's Ninth Symphony! Maximum volume on external speakers!"

"Ok!"

The next moment, Beethoven's classic melody resounded throughout the entire cafeteria.

Although it was only the maximum volume a mobile phone could reach, it still made the monster with keen hearing shrink back!

The next second, the monster identified the phone playing music as a high-threat target and slammed into everything in its path before charging forward.

Wang Yi seized the opportunity to reach the vending machine and easily found the candy soaking in blood.

He didn't care about anything else, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few times and then swallowed it whole, candy wrapper!
Hurry up!

Absorb it quickly! Charge it up!

Driven by adrenaline, he forced himself to swallow candy after candy, his mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood and rust, unable to taste any sweetness from the candy.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he kept devouring the candy until there was no more candy left on the ground.

At that very moment, Beethoven's melody came to an abrupt end.

Wang Yi looked up and just in time to see the moment his phone was snapped in two by the monster's teeth and jaw.

My phone!
That was a gift from Wang Yi's father before he graduated. His father said at the time, "Your parents have fulfilled our obligation to raise you today. If you don't continue to study for postgraduate entrance exams or take the civil service exam, you will have to support yourself."

"This phone is for when you can't support yourself in the future. You can use the QR code to go begging on the street and at least get some food."

Judging from this statement, he is indeed the biological father.

However, Wang Yi had no time to mourn for his phone, because the monster had already turned its head and was looking at him with his mouth full of blood.

Wang Yi raised his right hand and looked at the battery symbol on his wrist.

Great, 100%!
Shouldn't there be some changes?
Where's the panel? Where are the skill points?
Or even the arrival of an evil god would work!

But nothing happened.

The monster suddenly attacked, charging towards Wang Yi with astonishing speed, reaching him in the blink of an eye—

That terrifying face almost filled Wang Yi's field of vision.

At that moment, Wang Yi had only one thought—to blow it up!

In the next instant, highly pure gas was released, so pure that it could be seen with the naked eye.

The burst of energy was like a shotgun blast, blasting the monster to pieces with a bang, splattering it onto the crooked tables and chairs in front of Wang Yi.

Everything happened so suddenly that Wang Yi was stunned.

A full second later, he realized that the cheat seemed to have responded to the thought in his mind—he looked down at his arm and sure enough, the battery level had dropped to 0%.

That's it? No other functions?

I have a "spirit cannon" that requires pre-stored energy.
No, there's something more important to confirm than cheating.

Wang Yi looked up at the food scraps that had covered about one-fifth of the canteen, and realized that the scraps were arranged in a radial pattern, with himself at the apex of the fan.

Suddenly, a crisp sound startled Wang Yi, and then he realized that the monster's jaw had fallen to the ground.

This is probably the last piece left behind by the monster.

Wang Yi finally relaxed, and his legs, which had been supported by adrenaline, suddenly lost their strength and went limp.

He slumped into a chair next to him, as if his whole being had been burned out.

After taking a deep breath, he looked at his wrist again and noticed very faint patterns appearing next to the battery.

The pattern is only partially visible, and the color is so light it's easily overlooked. I defeated a monster and was rewarded with just a corner of the pattern? And it's so faint? Does that mean I'll get the reward if the pattern is fully revealed?
And this external device, the gas stored in the battery, is it really only allowed to be released directly like this? Can't I utilize this gas more efficiently?

Wang Yi's mind was filled with questions.

The next moment, the cafeteria door was blown open, and fully armed security forces stormed into the room.

The shield bearer at the front has the company logo on his shield; he must be a security guard from the company.
"Don't move!" the security forces shouted. "Hands up, you demonic cultivator!"

Wang Yi: "I'm a survivor, I just did it—"

He suddenly realized that it was impossible for a novice who had just started learning and hadn't learned anything to kill a D-level cultivator who had been turned into a monster by demonic cultivators.
So he changed his story halfway through: "I fought with this monster for a long time, but it ended up eating the candy that Old Stone Cultivator had exchanged for and exploded!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Turn around, lie face down on the table, and accept the inspection!"

Wang Yi, perhaps emboldened by his recent monster kill, retorted decisively: "Go ahead and inspect! But I refuse to turn around and lie face down on the table! I survived a near-death experience! Although I didn't kill the monster, I survived in the end. I am the victor, and the victor shouldn't be criticized!"

“Alright,” said the man who looked like the captain, “just check him like this.”

So a soldier stepped forward with an instrument and began operating it on Wang Yi.

"Slight contamination, no signs of mutation," the soldier said.

Captain: "Take him to clean up the pollution, and then we'll question him."

"Yes! This way."

Wang Yi: "Wait a minute, where's Elsa?"

"She's fine and is receiving treatment at the medical department. Demons like her, who possess intelligence, have very strong vitality and generally don't die," the captain replied.

Wang Yi: "What about the invading enemy?"

“After the infiltrators were launched, they abandoned the fight and retreated,” the captain said. “It seems you just happened to stumble upon the very core of the enemy’s plan.”

Wang Yi: "So what happened to the skinny monkey?"

"It should be a new supernatural power developed by the demonic cultivators, so your and Elsa's testimonies later will be very important. Let's go, or your Dao heart will collapse if we don't clean up the pollution in time," the captain urged.

Wang Yi then left with the team member who was leading the way.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Two hours later, Wang Yi saw Elsa again in the medical department's canteen.

"Why don't you have any bandages on you?" Wang Yi asked in surprise.

“Of course not, I’m a wolf-beastman, my recovery ability is naturally strong.” Elsa looked Wang Yi up and down. “I heard that you fought with that monster for a while, and in the end the monster ate the candy and exploded.”

This is what Wang Yi told the investigator; I don't know how it spread so quickly.

Elsa seemed to understand Wang Yi's expression: "I'm the one responsible for guiding you. In the past, I would have been your master. Of course, I have the right to know these things."

reasonable.

To be honest, Wang Yi was a little worried that there might be a lie detector or a cultivator who could see through the truth of his words when he was questioned, but it seemed that there was no such thing.

The company probably also thought it was too absurd that a complete newbie who knew nothing could eat a dozen candies and slap a monster transformed from a D-level cultivator.

Of course, it's also possible that the company has more important things to do right now.

Wang Yi said to Elsa, "You may not know because you haven't left the Medical Department, but I just saw a lot of people in black suits walking around the company looking mysterious."

Elsa gestured towards the distance with her chin: "You mean those?"

Wang Yi turned his head and saw several men in black suits enter the cafeteria and take away several people in white coats who were eating and resting.

Elsa: "Those men in white coats must be monks from the Nightingale Squad who were checking the returning members. It's only natural that they would be suspected, given that the enemy could pull off such a feint."

Wang Yi: "Who are those people in black suits?"

"The Internal Affairs Department is specifically responsible for dealing with traitors within the company. Right now, everyone in the company should be busy catching traitors."

As for me, because I was a newcomer, I wasn't suspected—Wang Yi completed the logical loop.

At this moment, a monk in a white coat came over: "Sister Elsa, the test results are out. You can leave. The company asked me to notify you to go to the Human Resources Department to collect your points reward."

Wang Yi raised an eyebrow: "Points rewards?"

"Yes, I pushed that long hemp stalk out, so of course I'll get a reward."

At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly thought of Elsa's conversation with the demonic cultivator: "That demonic cultivator, does he know your sister?"

“Yes, he belongs to the demonic sect that seduced my sister. That guy calls himself the White Bone Yama, and he's one of the cadres of Fengdu. This attack was launched by Fengdu,” Elsa said.

Wang Yi immediately picked up on the new term, Fengdu, a name that often appears in martial arts games as the name of a villainous organization. It was really nothing new, but he still asked, "So the demonic sect we have to fight against is Fengdu?"

“Fengdu is just one of the demonic sects. Its base is in the Hungry Ghost Realm, and they cultivate these sinister methods and supernatural powers.” Elsa stood up and urged, “Let’s go. I’ll tell you on the way.”

"okay."

Wang Yi stopped as soon as he took a step, because he saw the other three members of the Nightingale Squad walk into the cafeteria.

His mouth was agape, as if he had seen a ghost—no, this is what seeing a ghost looks like!
“Why don’t you leave?” Elsa frowned, following Wang Yi’s gaze. “Ah, them? Don’t be so surprised. They were just pulled up by the Resurrection Division. In fact, within the human dimension protected by the Nine Cauldrons, as long as they haven’t been corrupted by demonic cultivation and it hasn’t been more than 24 hours, they can mostly be saved. It’s just that—they might lose some memories or personality traits. Cultivators who die too often will also damage their foundation and lower the upper limit they can reach in the future.”

Just then, the three members of the Nightingale Squad noticed Wang Yi and walked towards him.

“You are the survivor,” “Old Stone” said. “Tell me how Skinny Monkey finally passed away.”

Elsa interjected, "I only know the general idea about this myself. If you want to know more, you should apply to access the files. I'm going to take the new recruit to collect his first points."

Wang Yi was surprised: "Huh? I have one too?"

“Yes.” Elsa showed Wang Yi her phone. “I just received orders that, for the sake of morale, the higher-ups have decided to designate you, a newcomer, as the one who killed Wang Hanyu, who had transformed into a zombie.”

Who?
"Old Shi": "That's Skinny Monkey's real name."

Elsa took Wang Yi's hand: "Let's go, we have more points now, we can exchange them for a more advanced beginner's technique!"

Without saying a word, she dragged Wang Yi outside.

Wang Yi couldn't help but turn around and look at the three D-level cultivators who were standing silently together.
