Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Lin Yuan Doesn’t Have Much Time Left

The world has no issues?

The one with issues is you?

Listening to these somewhat familiar words, Lin Yuan sarcastically thought, ”You fox demons, are all of you cultivating the Sitting and Forgetting Dao?”

At this moment, in Lin Yuan’s view, Bai Ling’Er was mostly out of her mind.

”No!”

”What issues could you possibly have?” Lin Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Ling’Er hesitated, then explained, ”Recently, I’ve struggled to calm down. Without a calm mind, it’s hard for me to refine the Power of Rules for my use.”

Lin Yuan pressed on with relentless questioning, ”Why can’t you calm your mind?”

”Do you have something on your mind?”

Upon hearing this question, Bai Ling’Er’s face reddened, then she glared at Lin Yuan, retorting irritably, ”Why are you asking so much?”

Lin Yuan: ”???????”

Seeing Bai Ling’Er’s unpredictable expression, Lin Yuan mused, ”It’s said that women change their expressions as quickly as flipping a book, this mother fox is the same!”

”No respect for elders, haven’t I used the Power of Rules to deal with you recently? Are you itching for trouble?” Lin Yuan pinched Bai Ling’Er’s cheek.

Everyone is quite familiar now, so Lin Yuan hasn’t used the Power of Rules to force Bai Ling’Er to do anything for a long time.

Truly, three days without a beating, and she’s lifting the roof.

If she doesn’t listen, Lin Yuan might have to use the Power of Rules to make Bai Ling’Er cry and call him daddy.

Seeing Bai Ling’Er’s stubborn look of ”are you teaching me to cultivate,” Lin Yuan no longer tried to persuade her!

Can’t be persuaded, absolutely can’t be persuaded.

If persuasion doesn’t work, then follow her lead.

...

Bai Ling’Er returned to her room to rest, and Lin Yuan did the same.

Ever since the supernatural invasion began, their sleeping patterns have completely flipped.

Resting at home during the day, going out to hunt Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm at night.

One could say they’ve completely turned into night owls.

Back in his room, Lin Yuan didn’t immediately rest; instead, he took out his phone to check the latest news.

During the supernatural invasion 1.0 version, things like the internet, utilities, and water supply can still be provided.

Because, in the supernatural invasion 1.0 version, only during the blood moon nights is it the prime time for Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits.

During the day, Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm mysteriously disappear.

In the supernatural invasion 2.0 version, the situation is entirely different.

Many Tier Five, Tier Six, and even Tier Four Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm made their appearance.

These Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits began to gather weaker Evil Spirits to use for themselves, forming factions belonging to the Deceitful Evil Spirits.

This phase is somewhat akin to the eighty-one challenges experienced by the Tang Monk in Journey to the West.

Every step has Evil Spirits, Deceitful Charm.

These Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits have divided territories among themselves, each strong Evil Spirit having large numbers of weak Evil Spirits under their command.

By that time, the internet and utilities are also generally cut off.

Only near official shelters can the supply of utilities and internet be ensured.

Taking advantage of the decent internet connectivity, the internet remains a convenient means of information exchange and communication.

Lin Yuan frequently surfs the net intensively, checking various kinds of information.

For example, a certain barbecue shop taken over by a Pig Demon, using human meat as roast suckling pig to lure humans to eat.

Or, a certain community experiencing Heart-digging Demons, with survivors found heart-dug for seven successive nights.

Also, the official shelter construction progress has reached ten percent, expected to achieve preliminary completion within twenty days.

....

Lin Yuan maintains intensive online surfing not because he’s some keyboard warrior, venting suppressed emotions by sparring with netizens for pleasure.

Indeed, ever since the supernatural invasion began, everyone feels quite oppressed.

But hunting Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm each night, brutally defeating Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm, is enough for Lin Yuan to release his emotions.

Even if the method of hunting Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits isn’t enough to release emotions, Lin Yuan can rely on trying out Wen Yingying for emotional release.

In conclusion, he’s far from being reduced to venting emotions as a keyboard warrior online.

The reason for maintaining high-intensity surfing is to constantly monitor version changes.

As it is commonly said, one version of a generation, one god of a generation.

Now is the supernatural invasion 1.0 version, Lin Yuan in this version is undoubtedly godlike.

However, if the version unexpectedly changes to the supernatural invasion 2.0 version, whether his strength can still cope effortlessly is uncertain.

Prior to rebirth, although Lin Yuan struggled through the supernatural invasion for three years, experiencing multiple version changes.

But back then, he was just an ordinary person, and didn’t have access to much.

The specific time between the supernatural invasion 1.0 version and the supernatural invasion 2.0 version is unclear to Lin Yuan.

He only vaguely remembers it being about fifteen days to a month.

For this reason, he must maintain intensive online surfing, using internet information to gauge the time before transitioning to the supernatural invasion 2.0 version.

Now, it’s been about a week since entering the supernatural invasion 1.0 version, the time left for him is running out.

Before entering the supernatural invasion 2.0 version, he must awaken the Black Impermanence Tattoo.

If possible, he should also awaken the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo.

The Yellow Springs Road Tattoo is the key for Lin Yuan to roam freely, and dominate commandingly in the supernatural invasion 2.0 version.

With the experience of awakening the Deceitful Gate Tattoo.

No doubt, once the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo is awakened, Lin Yuan will grasp another Power of Rules.

According to awakening sequence judgment, the Power of Rules of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo must be much stronger than the tenfold amplification rule of the Deceitful Gate Tattoo.

”Must increase the speed of hunting Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm.”

”Awakening the Black Impermanence Tattoo requires half the Deceitful Qi, not to mention the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo, which requires even more Deceitful Qi!” Lin Yuan contemplated.

The reason he quickly acquired so much Deceitful Qi is that he’s lucky.

He encountered Corpse King and Painted Skin Demon, two Tier Seven Evil Spirits, in succession, hypothetically, Tier Seven Evil Spirits are one in a million in the supernatural invasion 1.0 version.

He can’t always rely on good luck, if he doesn’t encounter Tier Seven Evil Spirits later, he’ll need to hunt large numbers of Tier Eight, even Tier Nine Evil Spirits to accumulate Deceitful Qi.

So, he needs to seize the time.

If someone knew Lin Yuan’s thoughts, they would undoubtedly ask him with a face of utter confusion, ”You consider encountering Tier Seven Evil Spirits as good luck?”

It’s widely known that human physiques differ.

For others, encountering Tier Seven Evil Spirits is unlucky, certain death.

However, for Lin Yuan, encountering Tier Seven Evil Spirits is certainly good luck.

Lin Yuan’s body of tattoos wants to awaken quickly, requiring large quantities of Deceitful Qi.

And for him, Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits are walking sources of Deceitful Qi!
