"Fucking hell, scared the shit out of me..."
Zhang Yuanqing plopped down on the edge of the bed, his heart still pounding.
He suspected that if his return had been a second later, what came back might have been a mangled corpse.
Just as he finally calmed down, he caught sight of the red dancing shoes on his feet, almost causing him to have another heart attack.
"Release, release..."
The red dancing shoes transformed into a red light and dissipated.
Phew, almost had to stomp my feet! Zhang Yuanqing completely relaxed, got up, walked to the window, gazed at the tall buildings outside, the lush green leaves reflecting rainbow-colored light, and listened to the chatter of the neighborhood aunties and uncles, as well as the faint noise of vehicles in the distance.
It was dinner time, and delivery guys in blue uniforms were speeding through the residential area on their little electric scooters.
From the windows of the neighboring building, came the sizzling sounds of vegetables colliding with hot oil, and the clanging of a spatula stirring.
It's good to be back in the human world, good to be back in the metropolis...
He stood there for several minutes before he felt he had completely shaken off that sense of horror.
Once he had calmed down, he couldn't wait to go to the mirror to verify his skills.
Settling his emotions, calming his mind, he silently communicated with the Taiyin power within him.
Soon, Zhang Yuanqing saw his body in the mirror being erased inch by inch, disappearing into thin air.
Really can become invisible, hehe...
Nine seconds later, his body was redrawn, appearing in the mirror.
"Hmm, a bit tired, like running a few laps on the playground..."
Then, he tried his physical strength, easily denting a battery, and cutting a small wound on the back of his hand with a utility knife, which healed and recovered in less than five minutes.
Leaving aside the superpowers, the increase in muscle strength alone was beyond that of ordinary people.
As for the other active skill, "Soul Devour," he hadn't had a chance to use it yet, because there were no spirits nearby.
"Now that my physique is so strong, if the old illness is triggered, can my body withstand a longer overload state? No, what I should be thinking about is whether there is a doctor profession among The Way of the Extraordinary, I have to find someone to look at my strange illness."
Zhang Yuanqing then opened his inventory to admire his items, but didn't take them out.
The Vajra Pestle was fine, but if he took out the red dancing shoes, what if they asked him to accompany them in an embarrassing dance?
Staring at the Vajra Pestle, Zhang Yuanqing fell into deep thought.
"If I remember correctly, the banyan tree spirit said that the Vajra Pestle sealed the yang soul of the Third Mountain Goddess, will she come looking for me..."
Just thinking about it made him feel scared.
"The NPCs in the The Way of the Extraordinary should not be able to appear in the real world, right? And the possibility of me entering the Mountain God Temple again is not very high, the small Mountain God Temple has already been explored, it is impossible to support another mission."
Although he said that, he wasn't sure in his heart, and the smile of the Third Mountain Goddess kept flashing in his mind.
"I'll go to the unit later and ask Lao Siji and the Translation-Tone Freak for confirmation."
At this moment, the doorknob was turned a few times, but because Zhang Yuanqing had locked the door beforehand, the person outside couldn't get in.
"Zhang Yuanqing, why did you lock the door? Are you secretly doing something bad?"
His aunt's charming and crisp voice came, humming, "Dinner's ready."
Zhang Yuanqing realized that he was starving, and quickly responded, putting away the Vajra Pestle, taking off his clothes stained with dust and blood, changing into a spring baseball uniform, black sports pants, and hiding the dirty clothes.
Only then did he go to the door and open it.
His aunt stood outside the door, peering into the room with her round and pretty oval face, suspiciously saying, "Why did you lock the door?"
"Practicing divine skills."
"What divine skills?"
"Learn the skills of the barbarians to defeat the barbarians."
"You little brat, looking for a beating?"
His aunt glared fiercely, her eyes were very charming, round and large, bright and lively, without bloodshot, and not turbid.
The ancients said that autumn water bright eyes referred to this kind of bright and sparkling big eyes.
At the dinner table, Zhang Yuanqing devoured the food like scattered clouds, his appetite greatly increased, and his grandmother was both pleased with her improved cooking skills and worried that she had cooked too little today.
"You're going back to school tomorrow, go to bed early tonight, don't let me have to wake you up then," his grandmother warned.
"If my aunt doesn't come to my room to play games at night, I can go to bed early," Zhang Yuanqing immediately passed the buck.
He got a kick on the leg under the table.
"She has to go to work herself." His grandmother turned to her daughter and said, "If you have to work overtime tomorrow, call me in advance."
His aunt was an intern doctor in obstetrics and gynecology, working in a public tertiary hospital. When she was free, she was very free, but when she was busy, she was even more tired than a corporate slave.
"Have more contact with male colleagues, there should be many male doctors in the hospital pursuing you," his grandmother probed.
"Mom, your horizons are too small, the men who bring their wives for prenatal checkups often secretly ask me for contact information," his aunt said proudly, with her hands on her hips.
His grandmother raised her palm, his aunt shrank her head, and silently ate her rice.
While the mother and daughter were talking, Zhang Yuanqing's mind flew to the things he had to do in the afternoon.
"After dinner, contact Guan Ya, tell the official that I successfully cleared the level, and also write a dungeon report, I wonder if the first kill dungeon report is worth any money, how much merit can it be exchanged for."
"The awakening of the Mountain Goddess also has to be mentioned, can't forget it, I always feel like it's a hidden mission."
After dinner, having solved the problem of food and clothing, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room and found that his phone was dead.
Because he was running around and worrying about The Way of the Extraordinary, he forgot to charge his phone.
After charging it, he saw four or five missed calls.
Caller ID: Guan Ya
Two of them were an hour ago, when he was still in The Way of the Extraordinary, and the remaining three were two minutes ago.
"So anxious to confirm whether I'm dead?" Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart, tapped his finger, and called Guan Ya back.
.......
Two-story building, glass walls reflecting the sunlight.
In a spacious and luxurious office, Li Dongze finished a simple lunch, glanced at his watch, and leaned on his cane to go to the office area.
"Guan Ya, is there any news from Yuanshi?"
This was the third time he had asked the same question.
Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, he couldn't help but keep thinking about it until things were settled.
Li Dongze's letter of apology was already written, waiting for the results, and then admitting his mistake to the centurion, he had been careless this time, lacking the professional qualities of a scout.
As for Yuanshi Tianzun, although he felt it was a pity, the trial mission opened by the character card was beyond human power.
"His phone is off," Guan Ya shook her head, "I've called him five or six times."
Can't be reached... Li Dongze seemed to have expected this, and let out a silent breath:
"Let's wait, let's wait..."
"Okay, squad leader." Guan Ya lifted her sideburns, revealing a smile, comforting him: "Before the result comes out, anything is possible, like Schrödinger's cat, you never know if it's alive or dead until you open the box."
Wang Tai on the side couldn't help but say:
"That's not how Schrödinger's cat is used... From a probabilistic point of view, without special means and help, his chances of clearing the Sheling Tunnel are almost zero."
Guan Ya and Li Dongze's faces darkened: "Shut up!"
Did I say something wrong again... Wang Tai silently lowered his head.
This social retard! Li Dongze and Guan Ya criticized in their hearts.
Having been colleagues for so long, they had long given up on cultivating Wang Tai's emotional intelligence.
Guan Ya felt that the contrast between an interesting soul and a boring soul was immediately apparent, look at that kid Yuanshi, he was handsome and spoke well, if he could become a colleague, it wouldn't be so boring to work in the future.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky.
If they can't reach him by the time they get off work, then there's no hope at all... Guan Ya sighed, leaned lazily on the soft chair, making her full chest stretch the white shirt taut.
"Report to me immediately if there's any news."
Li Dongze finished speaking and was about to turn to leave when Guan Ya's phone on the desk suddenly rang.
At this time, the phone on the table rang.
Li Dongze stopped, his eyes fixed on Guan Ya's phone.
Caller ID: Yuanshi Tianzun.
Li Dongze's breathing became rapid.
Guan Ya suddenly jumped up from the chair, causing the desk to bang, and the items on the table fell over.
Her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was full of astonishment and ecstasy.
She grabbed the phone and looked at Li Dongze.
Li Dongze's face was tense, and he said, "Speakerphone!"
His voice was low and serious.
The two of them looked solemn, as if they were connecting to a kidnapper's phone.
Guan Ya answered the phone, with anticipation, suppressing her ecstasy, and said:
"Yuanshi?"
"I cleared the trial mission and came out of the Mountain God Temple," Zhang Yuanqing's voice came from the speaker.
Guan Ya and Li Dongze were stunned at the same time.
Wang Tai, who didn't hear anything outside the window, suddenly looked up, and the scholar who was obsessed with data showed shock and astonishment on his face.
After a few seconds of stagnation, the two small mustaches on Li Dongze's mouth flew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he shouted:
"Oh, God! Did you hear my prayer, this is too unbelievable, oh, my God, I can't believe it's true."
Then he realized his gaffe, and quickly restrained his expression, "Elegance, must be elegant..."
Li Dongze knew what clearing the Sheling Tunnel meant, an S-level The Way of the Extraordinary that was deemed impossible to clear by the Taiyi Sect was攻略, it would inevitably attract high-intensity attention, and although Yuanshi was a newcomer, it was foreseeable that he would become famous in one battle and become a well-known The Way of the Extraordinary.
In addition, the information and props contained in the S-level The Way of the Extraordinary were real gains, and they must be abundant.
Official organizations and folk organizations alike are eager to攻略 high-difficulty The Way of the Extraordinary, especially first kills, because this is the fastest and most effective way to strengthen the organization.
Finally, and most importantly, there are only a few Night Wanderer trial The Way of the Extraordinary in the Songhai area, and the existence of the Sheling Tunnel bug has caused the official organization to lose a lot of candidate Night Wanderers.
If they have a detailed攻略, then the number of Night Wanderers born each year will increase in the future.
Although the rewards cannot be as abundant as the first kill after the The Way of the Extraordinary is攻略, the official organization values the increase in the number of Night Wanderers.
This is enough to attract the attention of the Elders of the Five Elements Alliance.
"You, how did you do it..." Guan Ya murmured.
"It's not difficult, I easily cleared the level, heh, isn't it passable as long as you have legs."
Yuanshi Tianzun said words that matched his ID.
Guan Ya was speechless for a moment, unable to tell whether he was joking or if he was a school bully bragging. In her impression, Zhang Yuanqing was a smart college student, good at socializing, but it was definitely impossible to say that he was anything out of the ordinary.
Her liking for this new colleague was limited to him speaking well and being humorous, but definitely not to her recognition of his ability.
And now, she needed to re-evaluate this new Night Wanderer.
"Very good, very well done." Li Dongze excitedly tapped his cane and said eagerly: "Come to the unit right away, come over immediately."
"Okay," Zhang Yuanqing said.
After ending the call, Wang Tai couldn't help but say:
"He has abilities beyond ordinary people, it's not known which aspect it is, but he definitely has it. Squad leader, you seem to have picked up a freak."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Dongze's face spread uncontrollably, he coughed and said unhappily: "What freak, he's a genius!"
After speaking, he hurried to the office as if he had something urgent.
Li Dongze felt that the title of the apology letter should be more elegant, such as: "I'm sorry Centurion, I accidentally picked up a freak"
He couldn't wait.
