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

Chapter 8 YEAH
As a boy, Wang Yi was naturally interested in guns.

Before graduation, he often played Delta Force with his roommates, and his favorite rifle was the SR3M compact assault rifle.

Of all his handguns, his favorite is the G18, but if you really had to choose one as his sidearm for life, his choice would be—

"I want a Taran Tactical TTI Viper pistol."

In the John Wick film series, the protagonist, Wick Cheung, uses the Taran Tactical TTI Viper pistol. This film also has a more widely known title: "Give Me My Life."

Elsa gave her a knowing look: "You like the movie 'Give Me Back My Dog's Life' too?"

Wang Yi: "YEAH!"

Elsa sighed and picked up a gun from the weapon rack: "The Taran Tactics TTI Viper, but most male novices would choose this gun because everyone is a fan of the same movie series."

In other words, because everyone chooses it, it has become a common, mass-produced product?
Wang Yi: "Then... do you have any suggestions?"

Elsa thought for a moment and said, "Considering that you only have a strength of 0.6, I suggest choosing a low-recoil pistol, such as the Type 92, or the Walther PPK, which is 007's sidearm."

"To be honest, with your strength and agility, you can't use the TTI Viper."

Wang Yi almost stubbornly chose TTI Viper because of Elsa's words, but in the end he compromised.

This world is dangerous. The key is to develop combat capabilities as soon as possible. We can't just flaunt candy and unleash "spirit cannons" every time something happens, can we?

Wang Yi: "I choose Walter PPK."

If you can't imitate Zhang Weike, then imitate 007.

Elsa's tail scooped up a PPK from the gun rack, and with a flick of her tail, tossed it onto the table in front of Wang Yi.

Wang Yi picked up TTI with his left hand and PPK with his right, and could clearly feel that the latter was much lighter.

Putting down the TTI, he used techniques he learned from movies and games to pull back the slide, putting the pistol into bolt hold-open position, and then removed the magazine.

“That’s about right,” Elsa commented from the side.

Wang Yi was greatly encouraged and continued to demonstrate how to disassemble a gun. As a result, the gun suddenly fell apart and shattered on the ground.

Elsa swept her tail and scooped all the parts onto the table in front of Wang Yi. Then she crossed her arms and looked like she was watching a good show: "Come on, continue, assemble the gun."

Wang Yi held the gun grip in his right hand, picked up the spring on the table with his left, gestured, and sighed: "I give up. I've never been good at putting toys back together since I was a child."

Elsa sighed, stepped forward and snatched the grip and spring from Wang Yi's hand. She closed her eyes and began assembling the gun. In the blink of an eye, the scattered parts were transformed into a small pistol.

The girl raised her gun, pointing the muzzle at Wang Yi's head: "If I were Daniel Wu, you would already be dead."

Wang Yi: "Understood. I will try my best not to compete with demonic cultivators in weapon-fighting in the future."

Elsa tossed the gun to Wang Yi, then took a holster from the vending machine and slid it down the table to him: "You know how to put on a holster, right? Like this, come around from behind and fasten it under your armpit."

The girl gestured.

Wang Yi took off his coat and, following Elsa's instructions, put on a holster over his shirt, inserted the pistol, and the holster became transparent in the next moment, making it completely invisible unless you looked closely.

Elsa: "You have to get used to drawing your gun from an invisible holster; sometimes it can save your life."

“I have a question,” Wang Yi raised his hand, “Master, where are the bullets?”

"How could we possibly issue bullets to someone who has never received any relevant training? Giving you a gun is to help you get used to carrying a gun as soon as possible. Bullets will only be issued to you after you pass all the CQC (Close Quarters Combat) courses."

reasonable.

Elsa started tapping her fingers: "You've got your phone and employee ID, chosen your martial arts technique, and got your sidearm and holster. That's all for today! We can head home now. Lead the way!"

Wang Yi was shocked: "What do you mean? You want to come to my house?"

"Yes, believe me, you'll need me as your mentor to guide you. Your life will be completely different starting today!" Elsa blinked and suddenly chuckled. "Could it be that you're getting all excited because a girl is suddenly coming into your little haven? Oh well, I can't help it, after all, I'm such a beautiful girl!"

Wang Yi glanced at Elsa. She was indeed a beautiful girl, but now, the sight of her reminded him of her half-orc appearance when she pushed the demonic cultivator into the elevator, and he no longer had any feelings for her.

"Oh dear, beautiful girls are such a hassle." Elsa seemed convinced Wang Yi was shy. "Luckily, I can still use some transformation abilities. Hurry, hurry, as the law commands~"

After reciting the unusually old-fashioned incantation, Elsa tilted her head: "Huh, why didn't you get taller?"

Wang Yi pointed to himself: "Huh? Me? Should I become taller?"

Elsa looked down: "Huh, how come I haven't changed?"

Wang Yi: "You... I remember you lost your ability to cast spells, didn't you?"

"Spellcasting is spellcasting, and supernatural power is supernatural power. Should I—no, do I have to clearly and completely recite the incantation now? Is it really that troublesome without the demon core?"

Watching Elsa, who had fallen into a state of dejection, Wang Yi suddenly felt a strong urge to touch her tail.

Elsa suddenly patted her cheeks, perking up: "I'm the master, I need to pull myself together! Come on, watch closely, my disciple!"

Wang Yi nodded solemnly.

"Don't be scared when you hear my incantation, you must stay calm!"

Although Wang Yi found her words a bit strange, he still nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Elsa took a deep breath and shouted, "Haha, big white cat!"

The next moment, she shrank into a large white cat of unknown breed in a cloud of smoke.

Wang Yi stood there, stunned.

The big white cat: "I know you have a lot to say, but don't speak, let me have some peace and quiet."

Wang Yi disagreed. Everyone says that a teacher imparts knowledge, instructs in skills, and resolves doubts. Now he was confused and needed Elsa to explain: "That 'Haha, big white cat' just now, was that the spell you used to transform?"

"Yes," the big white cat replied helplessly.

Wang Yi: "Can incantations be this frivolous?"

"The key to activating supernatural powers is to give yourself a suggestion, so anything is fine, even a spell that can make me feel ashamed and give me three houses."

So that's how it is. It implies that you are a big white cat and activates the supernatural power to transform into a big white cat.

Elsa (in her white cat form): "Hurry up and grab your things and go home. It's already 3:30. You don't want to be caught in the rush hour, do you?" Wang Yi quickly put on his coat, straightened his clothes, and then checked his pocket. Sure enough, his employee ID was inside.

He took out his employee ID card and hung it around his neck.

Elsa: "Look at you, so smug. Is it really that big of a deal for a work badge?"

"You don't understand!" Wang Yi held up his index finger and waved it. "This is the first time I've become a full-time employee since graduation. It's a memorable milestone. I'm going to have a big meal on my way back—wait, have I received my salary yet?"

Elsa: "Who gets paid on the first day of work? Of course, you have to wait until the 12th of next month for payday!"

What? I have to wait until the 12th? Does that mean I have to rely on the 100 yuan in my WeChat wallet for almost 30 days?

The brilliant sunshine that had just appeared in Wang Yi's world suddenly dimmed.

He started planning again: he'd go back and buy a bottle of mineral water first, then go downstairs to the convenience store and buy a pack of instant noodles...

Elsa looked up (she was now a big white cat) and watched with great interest the changes in Wang Yi's expression.

“You’re quite the expert,” it said.

Wang Yi ignored Elsa and continued calculating the money.

He had just put all of that out of his mind, and now he had to pick it up again, bit by bit.

Elsa: "You've probably never been in a relationship, haven't you?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"That's good. With your approach to dating, you'd probably be easily manipulated by young girls."

I want you to take care of it!
Elsa: "Forget it, I can't spend all my salary anyway, I'll lend it to you for a month."

Wang Yi stopped: "Really?"

"It's true, money in the ordinary world has no meaning for us. We can accumulate a lot of it very quickly. Many new cultivators, once they realize this, will spend money lavishly, frantically drawing cards in mobile games or tipping female streamers."

So, are those guys online who spend money like water actually cultivators?

This fact is shocking!

Elsa shook her body, and a cell phone fell out of her fur.

"Take this phone, and you can use my card this month!"

Wang Yi: "Thank you so much! I'll definitely buy you the best cat food!"

Elsa immediately began to exhale, making a hissing sound.

"I am a wolf-orc! A wolf-orc! Five pounds of marbled beef a day is a must!"

Whatever, whatever. You're the one paying, you're the boss!

Wang Yi picked up the phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and discovered that the screen wasn't locked.

Before he could ask any questions, Elsa explained, "I unlocked it for you with my mind. Once you finish the 'Basic Spells' course, you'll be able to unlock your phone with your mind too."

Is it that powerful? But... will there be an exam for the basic spell course? Will I have to make study guides like "Three Years of Spells, Five Years of Body Tempering" to prepare for the exam?
Even if I'm cultivating immortality, can I still not escape the fate of doing practice problems?
Elsa urged, "Hurry up, you don't really want to squeeze into rush hour, do you?"

Wang Yi was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something: "Can I talk to you directly outside the company? Won't people think I'm stupid?"

"No, the Nine Cauldrons Barrier will interfere with the cognition of ordinary people in order to protect them. Just talk to me normally. If anyone can hear our conversation, he is either a demonic cultivator or a descendant of a cultivator who works for the company—the kind without spiritual roots."

Jiuding is so convenient!

Wang Yi thought that once he became powerful, he would definitely go and see what the Nine Cauldrons were like.

"Let's go!" Elsa said, turning her head towards the door of the room, her big tail standing tall.

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.

Since it wasn't yet the afternoon rush hour, there weren't many people in the subway station. Most of them, judging from their attire, were university students from nearby universities.

Wang Yi, dressed in a suit and tie, stood out quite a bit among college students in casual or sportswear.

So he could clearly feel the girl in the carriage looking at him.

At first, Wang Yi thought it was just another illusion, but when he looked in the direction of his gaze, he actually met someone's eyes.

She was a girl wearing tennis clothes, carrying a racket on her back, and her healthy, long, white legs were showing under her short skirt.

Wang Yi controlled his gaze, avoiding looking at those long, white legs, while skillfully using his hand to block the phone's camera to prevent being falsely accused—no, misunderstood as taking secret photos.

Elsa: "Isn't that girl pretty? Believe me or not, you can get her WeChat right now."

Wang Yi subconsciously lowered his voice: "How could that be? I should be grateful if they don't think I'm being secretly filmed!"

Elsa: "Let's give it a try! It'll be a chance to experience the 'perks' of becoming a monk."

Wang Yi raised an eyebrow: "Benefits?"

"Yeah, you're still a newbie, so she just can't help but glance at you a few more times and thinks you're a pretty good-looking guy."

"Once you become stronger, girls will start approaching you and chatting with you if you don't consciously control your qi."

To strike up a conversation? Me?
Wang Yi glanced at his unremarkable face reflected in the subway window.

Elsa: "But it will take you at least five years to reach the point where girls will actively approach you."

Wang Yi looked at the tennis girl who had just looked at him again and thought to himself, "Five years from now, a girl like this will come up to me and start a conversation."

Is cultivating immortality really that good?
The girl was also looking at Wang Yi. After their eyes met for a while, she actually smiled and waved to Wang Yi.

Elsa: "Aren't you feeling pretty good right now? This is where many demonic cultivators' moral decline begins."
