I will be stronger after the remake

Since Tang Ping didn't have the Illusion-Breaking Stone with her, she couldn't convince the other party in a straightforward way, so she resorted to the most tempting explanation: "Haven't you always been curious about how I suddenly became handsome? The reason is that I became a psionicist."

Yu Shujiang was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Tang Ping's hand and asked anxiously, "Brother, how can I awaken as a psychic?"

"...You're really quite realistic."

"No girl can resist the allure of becoming beautiful, not even Wu Zetian."

"I can't guarantee that you will become beautiful. It depends on the type of spirit you awaken. If you awaken a pig demon or a toad spirit, you will most likely become fat and ugly."

"Then I still..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shujiang immediately backed down, but the thought of the chance to become beautiful gave her the urge to take a gamble. So she wavered back and forth between the two, sometimes afraid and sometimes gritting her teeth.

Tang Ping sighed and said, "You're really easy to read, girl. Your thoughts are written all over your face. Don't think too much now. After you awaken, you should test the most suitable spirit type for you. It's not too late to make a decision based on the spirit type."

Yu Shujiang's eyes lit up: "That makes sense. If it's an insect, we'll give up. If it's a bird, we'll accept it. If it's a mammal... we'll think about whether to take a gamble later."

Why do birds accept it?

"Birds that are too fat can't fly, so if I advance to the bird spirit level, I'll most likely become thinner. Besides, birds have beautiful feathers, so I might even get a beautiful head of hair. I can accept phoenixes, eagles, and peacocks."

Tang Ping poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Ostriches are fat and can't fly."

Yu Shujiang cast a disdainful glance at her: "There's no such thing as an ostrich spirit in the world. Not only is it not in our mythology, but it's not in Australian folk tales either."

Tang Ping stopped trying to persuade her and took her to see Feng Yingying. They found that the Ma siblings were already waiting in the room. Tang Ping couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it? Ma Feiyan believed you so quickly?"

Ma Yiming smugly stroked his bangs and said, "Without a doubt, I am a trustworthy elder brother."

Ma Feiyan didn't mince words: "I just think it's okay to believe it for a moment. Even if it turns out to be my brother's prank, I can still use it to laugh at him. Either way, I won't lose out. But since Brother Tang Ping is here, does my brother really not read too many online novels and can't distinguish between reality and fantasy?"

Ma Yiming immediately put on a mournful face and said, "Can't you trust me a little more?"

"...It's a bit difficult."

"Even if it's just flattery, you should at least say you believe me at this point!"

At this moment, Feng Yingying hurriedly came in from outside: "Sorry, there was a slight traffic jam on the way."

"It's okay, we just arrived too."

Feng Yingying entered the room, looked at the two girls, and asked, "Which of you wants to go first?"

Yu Shujiang, who was still observing, quickly said, "First come, first served, I'll be second."

Ma Feiyan did not refuse and sat down in the chair in front of Feng Yingying, just like a patient seeking medical treatment.

Feng Yingying comforted her, "Don't be nervous, you don't need to do anything, just wait for me to cut a lock of hair."

Remembering the backlash she suffered last time, Tang Ping hurriedly asked, "Could it be due to karma again?"

"Don't worry, I'm prepared this time."

Feng Yingying took out a clay figurine that looked very similar to her, held it tightly in her hand, and then used her other hand to grab Ma Feiyan's hair, twisting it carefully between her fingertips, her expression solemn.

Click!

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the surface of the clay figurine.

Feng Yingying loosened her hair in time, her expression relaxed, and she smiled, "It went more smoothly than I imagined. After all, the aggressiveness of good karma is weaker than that of bad karma."

Ma Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "How did it go?"

Feng Yingying said calmly, "The most suitable spirit for Feiyan is the divine spirit, and the most useful is the corpse spirit, which also has the unique qualification to awaken."

Ma Yiming exclaimed in surprise, "It's not the same one?"

Seeing this, Tang Ping thought to himself that the majority of cases were the same, and the minority were different. He remained calm and asked, "Which category is 'corpse'? Shouldn't it be 'underworld'?"

Feng Yingying explained: "The underworld refers to ghosts that are completely dead. They have no physical body, only a soul. The corpse can be understood as the dead who still have a body. Zombies, skeletons, and liches belong to this category and are relatively rare, but the spirit itself is not unusual."

Tang Ping nodded, understanding. Although the quantity was scarce, others didn't value it, so there was a sufficient stock of Dao seeds.

Ma Feiyan no longer treated it as a prank. She seriously recalled the basic knowledge of psychic energy that Ma Yiming had just explained to her and asked, "So, if I choose to awaken uniqueness, is there a chance that I will become the White Bone Demon from Journey to the West?"

Feng Yingying patiently explained, "The White Bone Demon does indeed belong to the Corpse category. By the way, the White Bone Demon is not a skeleton, but a zombie. The title in Journey to the West is 'The Corpse Demon Plays Tricks on Tang Sanzang Three Times.' Its true form is a female corpse. There is no name 'White Bone Demon' in the original work. Many film and television dramas use the image of white bones to depict it, which is actually wrong."

"However, the chances of you awakening the White Bone Demon are very small. Generally speaking, the unique spiritual type is often the most suitable spiritual type. Since you have awakened the unique type, it is highly likely that it is a divine spiritual type."

Tang Ping analyzed: "There are only a few famous corpse-type characters, especially in Chinese mythology. It seems that there are only Drought Demon and White Bone Demon. Xing Tian, ​​whose head was cut off, barely counts. Among the three, White Bone Demon is the weakest, but her performance in Journey to the West is still quite remarkable. Choosing her is not a loss. But if you choose a god-type character, there are a lot of them, as numerous as hairs."

As he spoke, he plucked two hairs from Ma Yiming's hair and said, "Betting on probability is just like plucking hair. The chance of plucking a white hair is very small, but the possibility of becoming an unknown nobody is very high."

"There's no need to pull out my hair to demonstrate, my hair isn't thick to begin with."

Ma Yiming grumbled, then suggested to his sister, "I don't think it's necessary to gamble. A versatile divine attribute spirit title is quite good, and the organization doesn't lack divine attribute Dao seeds; we can apply for one anytime."

Ma Feiyan looked hesitant.

Feng Yingying reassured her, "This isn't urgent. You can go back and think about it slowly."

Ma Feiyan nodded and offered her seat to Yu Shujiang.

Under Yu Shujiang's tense yet expectant gaze, Feng Yingying repeated her previous actions. This time, the puppet did not shatter, and she successfully achieved the result.

"The most suitable and useful one for you is the Immortal Spirit Rank," Feng Yingying said with a hint of helplessness.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Contentment Brings Happiness

The word "fairy" sounds beautiful.

Just as Yu Shujiang was about to nod and say "I do," she noticed her brother's brows furrow slightly. She asked with some concern, "Is there a problem with your Immortal Spirit Rank?"

Tang Ping sighed and said, "The spirit is fine, the problem is the Dao Seed. Immortal Dao Seeds are in short supply, and the organization may not have any surplus Dao Seeds that can be transferred to you."

Yu Shujiang blinked and asked, "Can I buy it with money?"

Thanks to her mother's influence, she learned a principle from a young age: problems that can be solved with money are not big problems, and she would habitually try to solve them with money first when faced with difficulties.

Tang Ping shook his head and said, "Money isn't entirely useless to psychics, but it's certainly not very useful."

Not to mention that psychics within the official system enjoy the best benefits, even psychics outside the system, even without taking illegal paths, can easily earn a million-dollar annual salary simply by approaching top billionaires and expressing their willingness to be their bodyguards.

For Tang Ping herself, after personally experiencing the mysteries of the psychic world, her material needs in reality have been further reduced. She used to enjoy playing single-player games to pass the time, but now she can't even get interested in AAA games. The reason she has been working so hard recently and no longer lying down is because she has found an interest that is worth her wholehearted dedication.

Of course, it's possible that some people are just materialistic and prefer luxury cars, mansions, yachts, and beautiful women. However, these people prefer to use extraordinary powers to obtain what they want rather than through normal transactions. This is because they would need to spend a lot of their personal time earning money through normal transactions, leaving them no time to enjoy themselves, which is putting the cart before the horse.

Yu Shujiang asked with a pained expression, "Then what should we do?"

Tang Ping comforted her, "You're not getting promoted right now. Even if you join the Spirit Energy Administration Bureau, there's a two-month observation period. Don't rush. Maybe you'll have extra Immortal Dao Seeds after two months. If all else fails, you can settle for a second more suitable Dao Seed type."

Feng Yingying immediately chimed in, "The closest to the immortal Dao seed are the alchemists and Daoists, and neither of these types lacks Dao seed resources."

"Fangshi, Daoshi... that sounds alright."

Although Yu Shujiang is a genuine heiress from a wealthy family, she doesn't have the temperament of one. She doesn't have the stubbornness of "I must get what I want" and she easily comes to terms with things.

Her eyes darted around, and she asked, "Brother, what's your spirit attribute? The kind that makes people more handsome? Can you give me some pointers?"

Although Tang Ping was reluctant to talk about it and had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the topic, he couldn't hide it forever. Even if he refused to answer, Yu Shujiang could still get the answer from Ma Yiming and Yuan Ji.

“...a vixen.”

"Pfft~ Hahaha, she's actually a vixen!"

As expected, Yu Shujiang burst into laughter on the spot: "No way, I can't associate a fox spirit with your image at all. I can't help but laugh just thinking about it. How can there be a male fox spirit?"

Tang Ping said with a dark face, "I also want to know the answer, but is your reaction really necessary to be so exaggerated?"

Yu Shujiang laughed until tears streamed down her face, wiping them away with her fingers: "I really want to tell Mom about this; her reaction would definitely be even more exaggerated than mine."

Tang Ping said expressionlessly, "In principle, you are not prohibited from revealing information about psychics to your family, but you are not allowed to disclose personal information. The Psychic Management Bureau is a unit with confidentiality requirements, so keep your mouth shut and don't spread everything."

"I'll keep my mouth shut."

Yu Shujiang made a zipping motion in front of her mouth.

Finally, Tang Ping didn't forget Director Hu's instructions: "By the way, Ma Yiming and I both belong to the Security Section of the local Psionic Administration Bureau. The benefits and treatment of the unit are very good, the work is usually quite relaxed, and there are no dangerous operations. The leaders are also eager to recruit talents. If you two are interested, you might as well consider it."

Yu Shujiang raised her hand and said, "I am still a student."

“It’s okay, students can join too. The salary will remain the same, and the student will be enrolled. The only thing is that daily training cannot be neglected, and you will need to ask for leave frequently. But you don’t need to worry about this. The unit will take the initiative to contact the school to request that you be allowed to join.”

Ma Feiyan raised her hand and said, "I still have my job as a news anchor, and I don't plan to give it up for the time being."

“Although I think Director Hu shouldn’t mind, we can’t make the decision for you. We still need to consult with the leadership,” Tang Ping paused and hinted slightly, “Whether you two want to join the Public Security Section or not, Yi Ming and I won’t force you. It’s entirely up to your personal wishes.”

If the target was Yu Shujiang, Tang Ping would explicitly state that this would be used as a condition for negotiation, and that she would not join if the leader did not agree. After all, if she spoke too cryptically, Yu Shujiang might not understand, but Ma Feiyan should be able to understand.

As expected, Ma Feiyan showed a thoughtful expression, nodded slightly, and said, "I understand."

"Yiming, take them to see the director first. I have other things to do, I'll go later."

"no problem."

Without much thought, Ma Yiming left with Yu Shujiang and Ma Feiyan.

After Tang Ping closed the door, she took out the hair she had previously ostensibly used to demonstrate pulling it out and handed it to Feng Yingying.

Feng Yingying gently twisted her hair between her fingers, and with a "crack," the doll in her other hand cracked again.

"As you can see, Ma Yiming also carries a heavy burden of karma."

Having confirmed her suspicions, Tang Ping sighed softly and said, "I'm so sorry for ruining your doll because of this."

"It's alright, the doll is made of clay, we can just reshape it."

As Feng Yingying spoke, she crushed the doll, which was almost broken into four pieces, and kneaded it into a ball with both hands.

"So it can be reused, it's not a disposable item."

Tang Ping felt much less apologetic.

Feng Yingying said, "It's basically impossible to get a Celestial Dao Seed from the organization. If you want to find one for your sister, you might as well go to the Illusionary Realm to hunt down Celestial Monsters. I can assist you."

Tang Ping refused without hesitation: "No, forget it. Monsters involving immortals are at least at the third level. Hunting them is too dangerous. Besides, this is an action for my own benefit, so it's impossible to ask the organization for assistance."

Like his "fox spirit," after advancing to the third level, he has the opportunity to become a "fox fairy," and most other spirit-type spirits are like this—provided they are monsters within the Chinese system.

Ling Chong had said that day that the third transformation was a major hurdle. After advancing, one's strength would increase significantly, which would be reflected in the demon-type spirit. Depending on one's personality, there would be two evolutionary directions: one was to transform into the immortal type, and the other was to deepen the demon aspect.

Tang Ping's second-tier spirit level will definitely be "Fox Demon", and the third-tier spirit level could be "Fox Fairy" or "Phantom Fox". These can all be found in the base library.

As for the specific reasons for the separation, there is no definitive conclusion at present due to a lack of sufficient examples.

Feng Yingying continued to offer advice: "The third-level demon is indeed powerful, but as long as we invite enough helpers, we still have a good chance of success. Moreover, eliminating the third-level demon can yield at least eight Dao Seeds. We are not the only ones who want to obtain Immortal Dao Seeds, so it will not be difficult to find partners willing to cooperate."

Tang Ping considered it for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it. Not to mention that the danger still exists, no one can guarantee that they can obtain multiple Immortal Dao Seeds. If there is only one, there might be a fight. When it comes to cooperation involving interests, it is more reliable to have your own people. It is not worth taking this risk just to get an Immortal Dao Seed for my sister."

Perhaps in some novels, the male protagonist will risk his life to search for treasures in order to help those around him improve their potential, even if these characters often disappear in the mid-to-late stages because they don't level up fast enough. But Tang Ping would not do that.

It's not a matter of how deep the feelings are, it's just that it's not very meaningful.

If Yu Shujiang would die without a Celestial Dao Seed, or if she could become an unparalleled powerhouse after obtaining one, or if her advancement to the Celestial Spirit Rank was a matter of life and death for the world, then Tang Ping would risk his life to snatch one for her.

But there was nothing of such importance at the moment. Yu Shujiang herself only wanted to become more beautiful through the Spirit Rank, which could be satisfied by the Spirit Rank "Fox Spirit". The Immortal Rank was not necessary. Tang Ping really couldn't think of a reason to take the risk.

He's not an immortal game character who can reload and start over an infinite number of times, so of course he has to cherish his life.

Besides, he couldn't hunt down a level 3 monster by himself; he would need his companions' help. If he survived but his companions sacrificed themselves, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yingying stopped trying to persuade her, but sighed, "It's a pity that her spiritual factor count is still a bit low. It would be great if she could awaken her uniqueness."

Awakening a unique spiritual personality does not require a Dao seed, and the awakened spiritual personality is basically the type most suitable for oneself.

"Good things don't always happen to you. Being able to activate your spiritual potential is already a blessing that others can only dream of."

Contentment brings happiness; this is the way of life that Tang Ping believes in.

"If you change your mind, remember to contact me."

Before leaving, Feng Yingying left behind this sentence.

Tang Ping knew that the other party was acting out of gratitude, but she couldn't say anything.

Before Feng Yingying used the guise of an experiment to give him the Dao Seed to absorb, he could have said in a grand manner, "The person who saved your lives is my father, not me. There's no need to extend that favor to me." But now that he has received her kindness, saying the same thing again would only seem hypocritical and would inevitably raise suspicions of being a hypocrite.

"Speaking of experiments, has that experimental paper been approved?"

Tang Ping reminded herself to check the results on the internal network later.

When he returned to his workplace after seeing Feng Yingying off, he happened to run into Ma Yiming and his two companions, as well as the beaming Director Hu.

It wasn't hard to guess the result from her expression. Tang Ping said, "Congratulations, Director, on gaining two capable assistants."

"Haha, I also have to thank you and Yiming. I'll send you two a red envelope later."
