I will be stronger after the remake

"Moreover, I cannot abandon all emotions and think about issues purely from the perspective of interests. It would be unreasonable to ask Shu Jiang to break up now."

Of course, from the perspective of dating sims, there is no rule that you can only pursue one person in a single playthrough. As long as the player is shameless enough and has a big enough heart, they can juggle multiple relationships without getting into trouble, and theoretically the game system will accept it.

However, when Tang Ping thought about the powerful figure behind Yu Shujiang, she decisively gave up this tempting idea.

Yu Shujiang may feel that her father has never cared about her, but Tang Ping, from a third-party perspective, is very clear that Uncle Jiang does care about his daughter, he just expresses it in a more subtle way.

Forgetting feelings is not the same as being heartless.

Uncle Jiang doesn't believe in the idea of ​​"raising a daughter in luxury." He's happy for his daughter to suffer losses in small matters, which is why she won't help unless she asks him for help. But it would be a big mistake to think that he's neglecting Yu Shujiang because of this. When it really comes down to it, he will definitely stand up for his daughter.

Without hesitation, Tang Ping decisively erased the question mark, drew an "X" on "spirit child," and decided to abandon this plan.

"No matter what, is it even human to date your sister while cheating on her with two women at the same time?"

He shook his head and wrote "Yu Shujiang" below the crossed-out "spirit child".

"Since we don't intend to break up, I can only focus on nurturing her. I don't need to push her to the fourth rank, but at least I need to get her to the third rank so that I can inherit her powerful spiritual energy in the next life."

Yuan Ji possesses innate martial arts talent, making him a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a century, even if he has a clumsy gait.

However, Yu Shujiang does not possess outstanding talent and can only be considered above average in all aspects. She only achieved excellent grades in school because she received a good education from a young age, her family was not short of money, and she was willing to work hard. But in essence, she is just an ordinary person, not a genius.

If we had to pick a standout ability, perhaps being born into a powerful family would barely qualify, since not everyone can have a fourth-tier powerhouse as a father, but this ability is unlikely to be recognized by the game system.

If one wishes to inherit powerful abilities, one must begin with the Spirit Rank.

"Chang'e is a household name in China. Even abroad, she has considerable fame in East Asia, far surpassing the likes of Tiger Vanguard. If she can advance to the third stage, she will definitely transform into a powerful spiritual being."

Tang Ping became more and more confident as she thought about it, and added three exclamation marks after writing the name "Yu Shujiang".

He has made up his mind that starting tomorrow, he will urge Yu Shujiang to improve herself and will not let her rest on her laurels!

At such a young age, he's already thinking about currying favor with powerful people. What kind of future can he have?

Next, Tang Ping looked at "Unlock achievements to gain enhancement points". There's not much to say about this. Judging from the last situation, the explanation achievements are not limited to the target of the strategy. As long as you help others achieve a certain goal, you may unlock the achievement.

However, he has not yet figured out an effective rule, and he doesn't know who to help or to what extent to unlock achievements. For now, he can only act according to circumstances.

"I've already decided on my goals for the next life. In this life, I will also try my best to gather intelligence and explore the source of the apocalypse."

Tang Ping changed the paper and wrote down the two names: "Gui Ling Jiao" and "Chuang Shi Jie She".

"As two of the four major evil sects, Feng Yingying of the Guiling Sect knows that the Illusionary Realm is the real world, while Zhou Canglan of the New Realm Alliance knows nothing about this and even thinks about merging the two worlds into one. Little does he know that this move will trigger the apocalypse. It can be seen that the Guiling Sect's understanding of the world is superior to that of the New Realm Alliance."

"However, there are some doubts here. Feng Yingying may not have learned these secrets through the Guiling Sect. She may have obtained them through a series of fortuitous encounters during her reincarnations. Zhou Canglan has a very poor relationship with the New Territories Alliance headquarters. He may not know them because the New Territories Alliance's higher-ups are unwilling to share the secrets with him."

After thinking for a while, Tang Ping put a question mark under "Gui Ling Sect" and decided not to get involved with Gui Ling Sect unless he obtained more specific clues.

Then, he turned his gaze to the other side.

"I still have no idea what the creation is all about, but the failure of creation will lead to the apocalypse, so there must be some kind of connection between them... It's a pity that Gu Linglong can't inherit the memories of her previous life, otherwise I could ask her directly."

"Regardless of the fact that the Creation Society can help people break through to the fifth level without triggering the apocalypse, I must make contact with them. If I can replace Gu Linglong in the creation process, I can obtain useful information regardless of whether I succeed in the end."

"The only problem we have is how to get in touch with the Genesis Society. Their members are very secretive, and very few people know about them. The only person we know of who has been in contact with them is Gu Linglong, but that was Gu Linglong five years in the future. Whether the current Gu Linglong has gotten involved with the Genesis Society is still unknown."

Tang Ping thought for a moment, then drew a Y-shaped line below the Genesis Society, writing "Gu Linglong" on one side and adding a question mark next to it, while writing "New World Alliance" on the other side.

“The Guiling Church and the Spiritual Progress Research Association are allies, while the New Territories Alliance and the Genesis Society have cooperated. In other words, I can contact the Genesis Society through the New Territories Alliance. But if I want to do that, I must first become a high-ranking member of the New Territories Alliance. My current status is not enough, and no one is willing to listen to me.”

Tang Ping added an exclamation mark after "New Territories Alliance," indicating that it was second only to urging Yu Shujiang to make progress.

Having clarified his future course of action, he crumpled the two pieces of paper into a ball, then flicked his finger to create a flame that burned the paper ball to ashes.

"By the way, we should report to the organization first and get the treatment that a third-level psionicist deserves."

Why not take advantage of free benefits? Besides, as you get promoted, your authority will also expand.

Tang Ping immediately contacted his direct supervisor, Gui Taxi, and told him about his situation.

"So, this time you were caught up in an accident, and instead of suffering any losses, you actually benefited from it, just like in a martial arts novel, and advanced to the third level?"

After hearing this, Gui Taxi was at a loss for how to react.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping immediately released his spiritual pressure, proving in the simplest way that he was not lying.

“This is really… so dramatic, it’s like it was all planned out. Although it’s normal for anything to happen to psychics,” Gui Taxi pushed up his glasses. “What do you plan to do? A third-tier psychic is good enough to take a position in the local psychic management bureau and be able to handle things on your own. However, given your age, the organization will definitely prioritize your wishes.”

"Forget it, my third-tier spirit level isn't martial arts type. Even if I went to another psionic management bureau, I probably wouldn't be able to hold my own. I'll just stay here. I hope the director won't mind."

"Ha, I'd be more than happy to have a third-tier expert as my representative. I have no right to complain."

Gui Taxi reached out and patted Tang Ping on the shoulder, saying, "You've advanced to the third level, and with your feat of eliminating the traitor Cao Poshi and sacrificing yourself to save your comrades, I'll do everything I can to earn you a first-class merit. Just wait and see."

Chapter 243 Reporting

Gui Taxi hummed a little tune as he wrote his report. Even a blind man could tell he was in a very good mood. In fact, if it weren't for the repeated orders from above prohibiting civil servants from drinking alcohol during work hours, he probably would have had a drink right away.

The reason is self-evident: a third-tier psionicist has appeared under his command. Even if the person is self-taught and it has little to do with him, as his direct superior, he cannot deny this credit.

The reasons for claiming credit can be made up to sound grand and dignified, such as focusing on cultivating young talents, firmly adhering to the reform of deregulation and regulation, prioritizing guidance over supervision, and creating a talent ecosystem, etc. Unless the review team has a grudge against him, no one will investigate in detail.

Success or failure is the only true measure of a hero, no matter where you are.

Gui Taxi naturally grew to like Tang Ping more and more for the credit she had given him. After get off work, he took the initiative to treat her to a big meal, during which he showed her great warmth and care.

Finally, he said, "What are your requirements for the reward? I can report it to the higher-ups. Anyway, we will definitely ask for your opinion later, so this is just a step in advance."

Tang Ping thought about it carefully and said, "First of all, there are still the Arhat statues of Guiyuan Temple. There is no need to hide it now. The Arhat statues can directly enhance the performance of Buddhist spiritualists. The effect is comparable to the pills that increase spiritual power. The advantage is that there is no resistance to the pills. Therefore, I will accept as many as the higher-ups are willing to give. The more the better."

Gui Taxi nodded and said, "It's unlikely that we'll give you all of them, but the higher-ups shouldn't be stingy. After all, the Arhat statues are the most cost-effective for Buddhist-type psychics, and it would be a waste to give them to other types of psychics."

Tang Ping added, "More than enhancing my skills, I need something to aid my performance."

He had set his sights on personally experiencing the creation of the world, which meant he had to raise his cultivation level to the fifth stage before the end of the world arrived. Time was tight and the task was arduous.

Gui Taxi hesitated and said, "It all depends on luck. If there is such a treasure, the organization will definitely be willing to give it to you. After all, the value of a fourth-rank spiritual energy user is far higher than that of a third-rank one. But if there isn't one, there's nothing we can do. Also, if someone has advanced to the same spiritual rank before, the organization will have their insights and experiences left behind, which you can refer to."

Once you reach the third job advancement, any relevant information becomes extremely valuable, unlike the first and second job advancements, where you could easily post a question about deduction methods on the intranet forum and someone would offer some guidance—whether it was effective or not is another matter.

"That's all for now." Tang Ping stopped there, not making any further demands.

“These two points are essentially the same thing, which is to improve one’s cultivation level,” Gui Taxi sighed. “No wonder you were able to advance to the third level so quickly. Your heart for the Dao is so firm. If it were someone else with this achievement, they would probably have become arrogant and preoccupied with showing off in front of others.”

If there were no apocalypse, or if the apocalypse weren't so close, Tang Ping would have been quite happy to enjoy the pleasure of performing miracles in front of people, but now it's better to give up and focus on important matters.

Even a Buddhist youth who is keen on lying down and being indifferent is essentially just someone who wants to live out the rest of their life peacefully. Once they know that the end of the world is approaching, they probably won't be able to lie down anymore.

The more you know, the less happy you are.

Tang Ping felt a mix of emotions, including resentment. Why should she bear such pressure alone? She felt she should find someone to share her burdens.

For some reason, whenever Tang Ping thought of making someone uncomfortable, his mind would race, and before long, he actually found one.

"Director Gui, I want to report someone to you."

Gui Taxi was taken aback; how did the topic suddenly shift to this? But he still asked solemnly, "Who do you want to report?"

“Fu Zhengyi, the director of the Armed Forces Section of the Lin’an City Spiritual Energy Administration, is colluding with the Spiritual Studies Progress Research Association.”

Tang Ping answered seriously, but inwardly he was overjoyed. "I'm going to use the sword from my past life to kill the people of this life. Let's see how you defend yourself."

"Are you talking about Fu Zhengyi, who possesses the unique spirit form 'Bi'an'?"

“I think there should only be one psychic in the world named ‘Fu Zhengyi’, after all, that name is quite rare, and it’s not ‘Zhang Wei’.”

Gui Taxi remained silent for a while before saying, "Fu Zhengyi has a pretty good reputation in the circle. He has handled many demonic incidents and always takes the lead. Are you sure he is colluding with the Spiritual Studies Progress Research Association? Do you have any evidence?"

"I have no evidence. I obtained this information by accident during my promotion to the third rank. But it's easy to verify. Just have a psychic who can detect lies ask him a question, and the truth will be immediately clear."

"Things are not that simple. Although there is no explicit rule, everyone knows that third-level psionicists enjoy special privileges and cannot be suspected without evidence."

"If there is evidence, just take action and arrest them. Why would there be any need for doubt? It is precisely because of the lack of evidence that we need to verify it and clear the other party's name."

"The logic is sound, but it won't work. The organization will never suspect a third-tier psionicist just because someone reports him. That would be detrimental to unity."

"Even if the whistleblower is also a third-tier psionicist?"

Gui Taxi frowned, caught in a dilemma, and after a while said, "It probably still won't work, but if you insist, you can try writing a complaint letter, and I will forward it to the relevant department for you."

Just as Tang Ping was about to agree, she suddenly remembered something. In her previous life, Fu Zhengyi was able to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls. If she were to follow the official reporting route in a proper manner, the other party might find out.

"Forget it, let's discuss this matter further."

Tang Ping sneered inwardly. Since a third-tier psychic wasn't influential enough, he would find a fourth-tier psychic to report him. He was determined to get revenge.

Gui Taxi nodded hastily: "That's right. It concerns the position of a third-level psionicist. It's best to think it over carefully. If the other party is innocent and you force them to betray you, you will also have to bear the responsibility afterward. It's better to collect evidence first."

……

The courtyard of the Yu family villa.

"Brother, my arm hasn't grown back yet, is there any need to rush into training?"

Forced to stand in the moonlight, Yu Shujiang said to Tang Ping with a wronged expression.

"You must have heard the phrase 'disabled but determined,' which means that when someone is physically disabled, their will becomes exceptionally strong. So, while you're still without arms, now is the perfect time to cultivate!" Tang Ping said earnestly.

"That's not what it means to be physically disabled but mentally strong! I may not be a genius, but I'm not a bad student either, so I understand the meaning of this idiom."

Yu Shujiang turned to Jiang Zhenhua, who was watering the flowers and plants, and said, "Dad, don't just focus on watering, say a few words for me too."

“Appropriate exercise is still necessary, I have no objection to that,” Uncle Jiang said with a smile. “I just happen to have some ideas about creating a new internal skill, why don’t you come and verify them?”

Normally, Tang Ping would definitely ask about the new internal energy cultivation technique, but right now he is hesitating about one thing: whether or not to tell Uncle Jiang about the apocalypse.

(The host: I was called to a meeting and training session, so there will only be one short chapter today.)

Chapter 244 New Cultivation Technique

After regaining her memories of her past life, Tang Ping considered whether to inform the authorities and use their power to investigate the truth behind the apocalypse.

But after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up.

As someone working within the system, Tang Ping certainly wouldn't see the government as a mindless organization that would arrest and dissect you just because you have superpowers. However, he also knew that the Chinese government's most powerful organizational capabilities were essentially useless in investigating the doomsday scenario.

The difference between psychics and ordinary people cannot be described as a divide between immortals and mortals, but there is indeed a chasm that cannot be crossed by effort alone. For example, when investigating what exactly the "creation" that the Creation Society pursues is, Tang Ping really couldn't think of any help the organization could provide him.

If you're not looking for companions who can offer help, instead of going to the government, you should talk to those fourth-level psychics, be honest with them, and maybe you can fool a few of them.

In fact, even with the government's full support, all they could do was assign third- and fourth-tier psychic abilities to conduct the investigation.

Moreover, this matter has a huge drawback: once he reveals information about his past life, others will definitely try to extract more information from him, such as the future policy direction of other major powers, major political events that are about to happen, mythical relics that have not yet been discovered, and so on.

Even if Tang Ping answers that he doesn't know and that he didn't care about this kind of information in his previous life, others will only think that he is deliberately hiding it, especially the information about the mythical ruins. Other psychics will only assume that he wants to keep it all to himself.

Even if the government is completely on his side, 24-hour comprehensive surveillance and protection will be inevitable. As for the previously planned contact with the Genesis Society to try to experience creation, forget about it.

Tang Ping didn't want to be watched in the long term, so this plan had to be abandoned.

As a second-best option, seeking cooperation with a trustworthy fourth-order psionicist is also a viable approach.

But trust is such a precious thing that Tang Ping dared not make a conclusion easily. The foundation of trust is understanding. Can Uncle Jiang, who is too detached from emotions, really be trusted?

They had spent so much time together in their past life, yet he hadn't even realized the other person was a psychic.

Perhaps, I should wait until I advance to the fourth job advancement and have the confidence to fight back before being honest and open about it?

Just as Tang Ping was hesitating, Uncle Jiang introduced his achievements: "After drawing on the spiritual energy martial arts that Tang Ping proposed last time, I have finally created two internal cultivation techniques that mainly cultivate spiritual energy. They are the 'Hun Yuan Bu Gang Jue' and the 'Zi Chen Dou Shu Pian'. The former is a beginner-level technique, which is easy to learn but has a relatively rudimentary content. Its cultivation efficiency is only twice that of spiritual energy cultivation methods. The latter is an advanced technique, which is much more profound. It cannot be fully understood without sufficient comprehension. However, once mastered, its cultivation efficiency can reach more than eight times that of spiritual energy cultivation methods."

Such a specific and clear numerical comparison brought Tang Ping back to her senses, because it meant that once it was widely adopted, the speed at which ordinary psionicists could advance to the second or third rank could be doubled.

However, this only applies to ordinary psionicists, because those genius psionicists all think about taking shortcuts and few of them rely on hard work and practical training to get ahead.

Yu Shujiang was undoubtedly a down-to-earth person, and immediately said excitedly, "Dad, why didn't you tell me about this good stuff sooner? Hurry up and teach me the 'Purple Palace Pivot Chapter'!"

Uncle Jiang sighed and said frankly, "With your comprehension, you probably won't be able to learn the 'Purple Star Pivot Chapter.' You should just stick to learning the 'Primordial Steps Technique.' This internal skill is based on the Big Dipper. Practitioners need to walk according to the Heavenly Dipper Steps, with each step corresponding to a star: Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Prosperity, Literary Star, Integrity Star, Martial Star, and Broken Army. While increasing spiritual power, it can also temper the physical body with the power of the stars. Practicing at night when there are stars will be more efficient."

Yu Shujiang protested, "Dad, don't look down on me! How do you know I can't learn the 'Purple Star Pivot Chapter' if you don't teach me? I'm a wandering immortal! I'm Chang'e!"

Uncle Jiang said, "I've already taken the bonus from the Spirit Rank into account, but you still can't do it. Wait a little longer. One day I'll create a transitional technique between these two techniques, and then you can learn it."

Yu Shujiang insisted, "Let's give it a try. It won't hurt us to try."

Uncle Jiang had no choice but to say, "I'll recite the incantation once, and you can try to memorize it: 'The Purple Star resides in the North Pole, the Dipper determines the universe. The Nine Stars follow my rotation, all phenomena enter the lines of my palm. With a single thought, the Milky Way moves, the Dao endures through countless eons. Only by obtaining the true secret can one become the Venerable Purple Star…'"

He read for over three thousand words before stopping, then urged, "Alright, you can memorize it now."

Yu Shujiang tried hard to recall: "The Purple Palace resides in the North Pole, the Dipper determines the universe. The Nine Stars revolve with me, and all phenomena are reflected in the lines of my palm..."

Even though her memory had greatly improved after she became a psionicist, she could only memorize less than three hundred words. She said indignantly, "How could I possibly remember something after reading it only once?"

Uncle Jiang chuckled and turned to look at Tang Ping.
