"That's what I thought too. It's just that the company is quite far away, and I'll have to move. But with a terrible major like mine, it's good enough if someone is willing to hire me. I don't have the right to be picky. I don't know how they saw my resume. I clearly didn't send it... I hope it's not a scam."

Tang Ping encouraged him, "You have to believe in yourself. You have nothing left to be fooled about. As long as you're not sent to northern Myanmar, you don't need to worry about anything else."

"Haha, that's true."

The young man was amused and laughed for a while, then looked at Tang Ping with some doubt: "Brother, you look familiar. Are you a celebrity?"

"Let's just say it."

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you. I don't usually pay much attention to the entertainment industry, especially lately..."

Thinking about his recent miserable life, the young man's eyes dimmed.

"That's hardly a consolation. Forget it, let's not talk here anymore. Go on your way. I wish you every success."

Tang Ping patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Ah, I'm running out of time, I have to go," the young man hurried toward the stairs, shouting before going down, "Brother, I appreciate your kind words. If I get the job, I'll contribute to your viewership ratings later."

Once the footsteps faded away, Yuan Ji teased Tang Ping, "Impressive! You even managed to charm someone of the same sex. He stutters when he talks to me, but he calls you 'brother.' Can a fox demon really increase charisma?"

"Although the influence of fox spirits is more obvious on ordinary people, in this case, it's purely because they haven't had any interaction with the opposite sex for a long time."

Tang Ping didn't want to talk much, so she turned to Feng Maimai and said, "Well done. You achieved your goal and increased the employment rate at the same time. You killed two birds with one stone. I thank you on behalf of the government."

Feng Maimai made a peace sign and chuckled, "You're welcome."

"However, even if he gets the job today, he'll have to wait two days to check out. Where will you stay during that time?"

Feng Maimai froze. After a while, she said dejectedly, "I miscalculated. It was a mistake I made because I was young."

Tang Ping quipped, "Are you planning to drive a red Zaku?"

"Yes, and it's the kind that doesn't require legs."

Yuan Ji didn't understand the jokes the two were talking about. She only liked action-packed anime, and she only watched nationally popular animations. She wasn't really a fan of anime. She said, "You can stay with me for a while."

Feng Maimai never played the game of feigned politeness. After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's no trouble at all. I've always wanted a cute little sister."

"Wrong, I'm not cute, I'm just full of majesty..."

Yuan Ji smiled and hugged Feng Maimai. The latter tried her best to break free, but the difference in strength between them was too great, comparable to Hello Kitty and Big Bear. Her struggle was destined to be in vain.

Yuan Ji looked at Tang Ping: "Aren't you happy to have two beauties serving you?"

"Kaixin, you all must protect me well, and don't neglect your duties."

Yuan Ji's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I will not make the same mistake twice."

Taking the opportunity, Feng Maimai broke free from the bear hug and stubbornly said, "Me too."

However, Tang Ping didn't get to enjoy the services of the beautiful women today; instead, he worked up a sweat helping with the move.

As a token of gratitude, Yuan Ji treated everyone to dinner.

Halfway through the meal, Feng Maimai's phone alarm went off. She slapped her forehead and said in frustration, "Oh no, I forgot what my sister asked me to do."

Tang Ping asked, puzzled, "Sister Yingying has something to tell me? Why didn't you contact me directly?"

"To be precise, it's not your older sister who's looking for you, it's your younger sister. Your older sister asked me to tell you to be ready to answer the phone at 7 p.m., and not to reject it as a spam call."

Tang Ping immediately understood. Calculating the time, her sister and Ma Feiyan had been at the psionic training base for almost two months, and it was about time they came out.

The psionic training base is located in the illusory world and cannot be contacted in the real world. He had to take leave to come to the base in the real world and dial the number using a landline. Because there was signal interference near the base, he could not contact it wirelessly.

A while later, Tang Ping's phone rang. It displayed an eight-digit number with an unknown address. After answering, a lively voice came from the other end:

"Brother, brother, brother, are you there? Are you there? Are you there?"

Tang Ping was speechless: "Say it once, there's no need to echo it."

"Haha, it's been so long! I've missed you so much, brother."

Tang Ping suddenly thought of something. It seemed that the "Three-Eyed Spirit" was ineffective against voices sent through communication tools. It had to be the voice spoken by the other party. Recordings were not allowed, otherwise he would hear static when watching movies.

When using psychic abilities to detect lies in the future, we must be careful about this. If others know our weakness, they might use a voice changer to bypass the detection, and we won't know which category ventriloquism belongs to.

His thoughts raced, and he said bluntly, "Speak your mind, or shut up."

"Brother, you really hurt me. Can't I just call you because I want to chat?"

"If you don't get down to business soon, I'm going to hang up."

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you," Yu Shujiang said after a moment of building up the atmosphere, her voice filled with barely concealed joy, "I've finally advanced! Now I'm a psychic, just like you!"

Tang Ping wasn't surprised by this. Excluding his special case, most people advance when their psionic training is almost over. In comparison, he was more concerned about something else.

"What level of spiritual advancement have you achieved?"

"Hmph, it's very impolite to pry into other people's spirit information. We psychics must be mindful of confidentiality and not reveal information to others casually. As a senior, how can you not even understand this basic common sense?"

"I'm dead."

"Wait, wait, wait, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'll just say it now: I've been promoted to 'Loose Immortal'. Sister Feng analyzed that I benefited from your success because you've recently made several great contributions, and the organization didn't know what would be a suitable reward for you, so the benefits fell on my head."

Chapter Ninety-One: My Sister's Promotion

Tang Ping wasn't surprised to hear this. Not long ago, the organization had rewarded him with pills and magic weapons. The Water Spirit Pearl hadn't been used yet. As a result, he had uncovered the conspiracy of the Guiling Sect and the framing plan of the New Realm Alliance, causing the actions of the two evil sects to come to an end. No matter which one was taken out individually, his contribution was no less than the rearguard action during the last demon calamity.

The organization must also feel troubled. They had just rewarded people with pills and magic treasures, especially the pills that improve spiritual power cultivation, which can cause drug resistance and cannot be consumed in large quantities in a short period of time. Material rewards such as welfare benefits are dispensable for spiritual energy users. Therefore, rewarding family members with whom they have a good relationship is a compensation method that has existed since ancient times.

Tang Ping instantly understood the meaning behind her sister's call and comforted her, "Just accept it if it's given to you. It's not like it's a free gift. You should be wary of things that fall from the sky."

"Waaaaah, brother, you're so good to me, how about I repay you with my body?"

"No, repay me by being my ox or horse in your next life."

While Tang Ping made his usual sarcastic remarks, he thought to himself that the organization still had reserves of immortal-type Dao seeds, but they were not easily distributed.

Although some people often claim that all the immortal Dao seeds have been given to those with connections, Tang Ping has never taken such news seriously, because whether a person can awaken to become a psychic has nothing to do with his parents.

Even if the parents are the world's richest people or the world's president, the chances of their child awakening as a psionicist are the same as those of ordinary people, which, according to official statistics, is about one in eight thousand—those over thirty years old are not included in the statistics.

Furthermore, even if one wanted to use connections to get things done, those connections had to be strong enough. Not just anyone has the right to access national strategic resources; at least someone of Hu Ze's caliber wouldn't be qualified.

In other words, if someone wants to obtain a celestial seed through back channels, they must first pass the reincarnation test to become the offspring of a high-ranking figure, and then pass the spirituality test to become one of the lucky ones in eight thousand. Multiplying the two together, anyone with a little math knowledge knows how low the probability is.

Tang Ping wouldn't dare say there aren't any such people, but if such people lead to a depletion of national strategic resources, it can only mean that the country has entered its final stage and is about to be hollowed out.

wrong!

Tang Ping thought for a moment and realized that perhaps in some people's mouths, Yu Shujiang was someone who got in through connections, which was strong evidence to support the rumors.

"Brother, not only did I get promoted, but Ma Feiyan, who was with me, also got promoted."

"What level of spiritual advancement did she achieve?"

“The divine spiritual entity ‘Heavenly Soldier’ relinquished the awakening of uniqueness.”

The unique spiritual personality and the general spiritual personality each have their advantages and disadvantages. The former only has an advantage under the premise of good luck, which is something that everyone already knows. Therefore, Ma Feiyan's choice cannot be said to be right or wrong.

Tang Ping vaguely felt a little regretful. Although there was no evidence, he just felt that Ma Feiyan could awaken a good unique spiritual personality.

Unfortunately, things had come to this point, and Linger couldn't choose again. He couldn't say anything either, otherwise he would only annoy people.

The two chatted for a while longer. Since the two-month training period was about to end and Yu Shujiang would be able to leave soon, they didn't feel reluctant to hang up the phone.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go back, wash up, and go to bed. Don't waste the remaining days. Study hard. Training at the base is much more efficient. You might not have the same mindset after you come out."

"I know, bro, you're so long-winded, just like Mom, hmph," Yu Shujiang chuckled mysteriously before hanging up the phone, "Just be prepared to be shocked. When I come out, I guarantee you'll regret what you just said."

What did you just say?

Looking at the disconnected phone, Tang Ping pondered for a moment and guessed a possibility: Could it be that the immortals also have the effect of making people more beautiful?

If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few male immortals with all sorts of strange appearances in traditional Chinese mythology, but very few female immortals who are ugly. Even if they are not beautiful, they are usually kind and gentle.

The phrase "as beautiful as a fairy" alone is enough to illustrate that fairies are naturally perceived as having "beauty." Therefore, it's not surprising that fairy-type spirit attributes can make psychics more beautiful.

After Tang Ping finished her call, even Yuan Ji, who was a big eater, had finished eating. She paid the bill, and the three of them went back to their dormitory together.

Whether Yuan Ji genuinely liked small and cute things, or had been bitten by a snake once and was now wary of Feng Maimai, he kept trying to find topics to talk about on the way.

Feng Maimai was completely unaware of the other party's intentions, or perhaps she was aware but didn't care. As Bai Ze, "answering when asked" was the simplest and most basic way of acting, so she didn't find it annoying. It was the kind of taciturn person who couldn't utter a single word for a long time that would truly give her a headache.

As the only male, Tang Ping naturally walked on the outside of the two, occasionally interjecting a few words and mentioning the contents of their previous phone call.

"A Celestial Spirit Rank, huh? Everyone says this kind of Spirit Rank is very strong, but I've never met a Celestial Spirit User before, and I don't know what kind of spiritual energy they possess," Yuan Ji remarked.

Feng Maimai froze for a moment, seemingly searching for information, before speaking: "Based on the exchanges among those in the know on the Spiritual Energy Forum, the spiritual energy of a Celestial Spiritual Pride isn't particularly strong. What's truly strong is the hidden amplification. After advancing to the Celestial realm, physical attributes are significantly enhanced, resistance to curses and poisons increases, thinking speed accelerates, and spiritual arts talent is greatly improved. One can learn all-attribute spiritual arts and master techniques such as talisman crafting, weapon crafting, and pill refining through learning. It's a comprehensive upgrade with no weaknesses."

After listening, Yuan Ji exclaimed, "It sounds like an all-rounder, and not the kind of jack-of-all-trades, master of none, but a true all-rounder with no weaknesses."

Feng Maimai corrected, "There are two shortcomings of the Immortal Spirit Rank. First, although it can improve physical fitness, the improvement is not significant, unlike the Physical Enhancement Spirit Rank. Therefore, Immortal Spirit Users generally choose to cultivate spiritual arts rather than martial arts."

"Secondly, although immortal-type spiritualists can master various skills, they must invest a lot of time in learning. Considering that everyone's energy is limited, they can only choose one as their specialty in the end. Moreover, they are not as good as those who are truly specialized in this path. For example, in terms of talisman making, they are not as good as Taoist-type spiritualists, and in terms of alchemy, they are not as good as Fangshi-type spiritualists."

Tang Ping said, "You said it yourself, it's a shortcoming, not a defect. Even the two shortcomings you mentioned are enough to make many psychics envious. At least immortal psychics have the right to choose freely, while others don't even have the right to choose."

Even if the improvement to physical fitness from a fairy-type spirit is minimal, it's still better than that of a fox spirit. You can't even match her shortcomings, so nitpicking will only make you look like a sour grapes.

Feng Maimai nodded and said, "Definitely. Immortal Dao Seeds are regarded as national strategic resources and are sought after. They are known as the strongest spiritual type in the country, so they naturally have their unique advantages."

As the three talked, they took a shortcut and turned into a secluded path. Just then, they heard a series of noisy footsteps and rude laughter ahead.

Several drunken men staggered over, arms around each other, their eyes glazed over. One of them was carrying a bottle of liquor, clearly having drunk quite a bit.

Upon seeing Tang Ping and his two companions, they immediately whistled and made lewd remarks: "Hey, look at these handsome men and beautiful women. It's so late, why don't you keep us company for a bit!"

"How could I encounter such a cliché plot!"

Tang Ping was taken aback at first, then turned to look at the two people accompanying her and suggested, "How about I experience what it's like to be a hero and save a damsel in distress?"

Even Feng Maimai, who was the least physically fit among the three, was more than capable of dealing with these drunkards.

"What are you thinking? What if it's another cult's trap?" Yuan Ji said warily. "For example, someone who looks like an ordinary, sleazy drunkard might actually be a top international mercenary, maybe even a 'Dragon King' or 'King of Soldiers,' just to make you lower your guard and then capture you as a hostage when you get close."

"No, I'm pretty sure they're just ordinary drunkards."

Tang Ping had already used the Three-Eyed Spiritual Radiance to verify the problem, and if there was a real issue, he immediately called for help.

Feng Maimai also said, "By observing their physique, gait, breathing and other information, we can rule out the possibility of them pretending to be weak while actually being strong. Their overall assessment is that they are a bunch of trash with a combat power of only 5."

Yuan Ji insisted, "Even if they are all useless, we can't rule out the possibility that they are bait. Anyway, you are not allowed to get close. Just leave it to me to handle."

"What are you all chattering about? Don't ignore me!"

A drunkard reached out to grab Yuan Ji, but Yuan Ji swiftly grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it, causing the man to scream and fall to his knees.

Such a clean and decisive counterattack stunned the drunkards on the spot. One of them, who was still relatively sober, showed fear and took two steps back, showing signs of abandoning his companions and running away.

Having already made his move, Yuan Ji had no intention of backing down halfway. He took a step forward, grabbed the arm of a drunkard, and swiftly threw him over his shoulder, slamming him heavily to the ground, where he could no longer get up.

"Stinky bitch!"

Alcohol emboldens the timid, and the drunkard, who was initially somewhat afraid, roared and swung the bottle at Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji dodged to the side, then struck the opponent in the chest with a backhand elbow, causing the opponent to vomit on the spot with a "whoosh". Immediately afterwards, she swept her leg, knocking down the nearest person.

The last remaining blond-haired man was terrified and turned to run. However, he was too slow and looked like a capybara in Yuan Ji's eyes. After catching up in two or three steps, Yuan Ji delivered a flying kick that knocked the man to the ground.

"We're done. Nothing unexpected happened. Looks like they really were a bunch of weaklings."

Yuan Ji shook his head, half regretfully and half relieved. Just as he was about to call his companions to leave, he saw Tang Ping squat down and rummage through the pocket of a drunkard lying on the ground.

She couldn't help but remind him: "Reality is not a game. There is no setting where you gain experience points and money after defeating enemies. You should think twice before you act. Don't turn legitimate self-defense into robbery."

"I don't need you to remind me of common sense. This person is drunk. If we leave him unattended, he might die from hypothermia, and then we'll be in trouble."

Tang Ping took the other person's phone out of their pocket and tried to unlock it with facial recognition, only to find that the other person's phone did not have this function.

"You want to contact their relatives?"

"Finding relatives is troublesome, and you might get extorted. Your counterattack has exceeded the legal scope of legitimate self-defense and is suspected of excessive self-defense. You should call 110."

In particular, you don't need to unlock anything to call 110.

Tang Ping quickly used the other person's phone to call the police, briefly explained the situation, and requested that the police be sent immediately to take the person away.

When the operator asked for his identity, he decisively replied, "No need to be polite, please call me Young Pioneer." Then he hung up the phone.

Yuan Ji said with disdain after hearing this, "How old are you? Still calling yourself a Young Pioneer? Why don't you just call yourself Lei Feng?"

"Because 'Lei Feng' is a censored word."
