Chapter 20

At 12:00 midnight on the second day, Li Yi, Zhang Gao, Lu Jue, and others started the guide work again.

After the first experience, everyone was obviously much more skilled this time, and because Wu Zhen's injury had improved a lot, he didn't wake up midway during meditation this time. I believe he should be able to get the salary he wants today.

And what Li Yi is thinking about is how much money is appropriate to earn today.

To be precise, how much money to earn will not be suspected.

Finally, Li Yi decided to control the daily income within 300,000, which can fluctuate up and down, but must not break through the limit of 300,000, because 300,000 is the limit of a genius. If it goes higher, others should think in other aspects.

However, Li Yi sometimes wants to be able to guide cosmic energy unscrupulously.

By then, he would earn millions from the other party in a day, and he would never have to worry about money again in a few days.

But in the end, Li Yi suppressed the greed in his heart.

Soon.

A day's work ended.

At 6:10 in the morning, everyone gathered in the cafeteria again to eat breakfast and receive their salaries.

Everyone's salary was the same as usual, 54,000 for six hours, but Li Yi's salary broke through again, reaching an astonishing 280,000, which made others surprised again.

"Sure enough, Li Yi's potential still has room to be tapped. I thought there was a luck component yesterday, but now it seems that the so-called luck component does not exist. He is a real genius, and it seems that he hasn't reached his limit today." Lu Jue sighed in his heart.

"I was right last night, his cultivation value is at least two hundred percent, and my choice to invest in him is correct, but I missed the timing. According to this speed of earning money, he will be able to save the first step of cultivation funds in ten days and a half months, and then with the start-up funds, Li Yi's terrible talent will be fully exposed."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxiao was incomparably envious, because she understood that as Li Yi's cultivation level gets higher, there will be more opportunities to earn money, and the more money he earns, the faster his cultivation speed will be.

This is a virtuous cycle.

As for problems like family poverty and parents needing to be supplied, these problems are not a thing at all under Li Yi's rapid progress, and can be easily solved.

"This Li Yi..."

Wu Zhen's expression was gloomy at this moment, hiding in the corner to eat. He began to understand that his opportunity to retaliate against Li Yi was getting smaller and smaller.

He was even inexplicably afraid now.

With this earning speed and cultivation value, it is fortunate that Li Yi doesn't come to find his trouble. If he still doesn't know the weight and pounces on him, he will only die miserably.

"Can't stay here anymore, must resign, otherwise once Li Yi opens the Spirit Medium and has the means of a cultivator, I'm afraid I will be the first to suffer a blow." Subsequently, Wu Zhen, who realized, smelled a strong sense of crisis.

He quickly finished eating, received today's salary, and then found Supervisor Xu Ming.

"I won't do this guide job, I want to resign."

Supervisor Xu Ming also understood the reason for Wu Zhen's resignation. He didn't stop him and agreed very happily. After all, such guides as Wu Zhen can be recruited at any time and are not worth retaining.

Others didn't see Wu Zhen's figure until the third day of work, and then they understood that Wu Zhen had run away secretly.

"The pressure given by Li Yi is too great, he was scared away."

Zhang Gao, Lu Jue, and Zhao Xiaoxiao and others quickly understood what was going on.

Otherwise, how could such a good high-paying job be abandoned as soon as it was said.

"Running away is correct. Li Yi's eyes are brighter today than when we first met. His evolution speed is visibly fast. If this continues, it won't be long before he can open the Spirit Medium and officially step into the ranks of cultivators. If Wu Zhen doesn't run now, he won't be able to run in a few days."

Zhao Xiaoxiao thought to herself, and secretly glanced at Li Yi who had just sat down.

Li Yi didn't care much about Wu Zhen's departure. He was constantly adjusting his state to let himself enter the meditation state quickly.

"Must earn more today."

After successfully meditating, he immediately began to constantly guide cosmic energy into the cultivation pod in front of him, and at the same time absorbed a part of the pure energy in the knife coin energy field into his body.

Work and cultivation are both correct, and food and accommodation are provided, Li Yi fell in love with this job.

However, after he meditated for more than three hours, Li Yi's consciousness suddenly noticed that the knife coin energy field was changing. Everything that was originally calm seemed to have ripples, and then the energy surged, like a storm. This mutation made him unable to guide cosmic energy at all.

And the appearance of this mutation also represents a bad phenomenon.

The resentment of the dead stored on the incomplete knife coin woke up again.

"Really unlucky. It seems that I cultivated for a long time last night, and it appeared abnormally at this time."

However, Li Yi already had experience in dealing with it. His consciousness had long been prepared to withdraw from the range of the knife coin energy field.

As long as he is not affected, his consciousness will not be captured, and he can wake up from meditation at any time, avoiding being almost killed like the first time.

"You born evil Earth Prisoner..."

That familiar angry voice appeared again, and the incomplete knife coin energy gathered, forming a transparent human figure with only the upper body. But compared to the first time, this person's figure seemed to be more blurred, not as solid as before.

It seemed like it was about to dissipate at any time.

"It's not an illusion, this resentment is indeed weakened a lot, but even so, the strength of this thing is far beyond my imagination. It seems that it will take a long time for it to dissipate completely, or wait until I cultivate to a certain height before finding a way to solve this thing." Li Yi thought so.

But that incomplete resentment seemed to perceive Li Yi, roaring and pouncing toward him, seemingly wanting to break free from the shackles of the knife coin energy field and crush his consciousness at any time.

"No way, again?"

Li Yi was startled and immediately woke up from meditation.

He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

A false alarm.

Looked around.

Zhang Gao, Lu Jue, Zhao Xiaoxiao and others were all meditating, guiding cosmic energy. Not far away, the dangerous middle-aged man who looked like a bodyguard was just sitting with his eyes closed, without any movement.

The surroundings were very quiet.

No one noticed Li Yi's abnormality, and no one sensed the mystic object on him.

"What kind of deep hatred does the resentment on that incomplete knife coin have with me? It goes crazy and crazy when it sees me, and it wants to kill me desperately. It was the same last time. Waking this thing up today means that my subsequent guidance work will be hindered."

Li Yi thought to himself, but he had no choice. After all, this is just an incomplete mystic object, and it is normal to have hidden dangers.

Now the knife coin can no longer be used, he can only complete the work volume of the remaining two hours by guiding cosmic energy himself.

After calming his mood, Li Yi meditated again.

At this moment, without the help of the mystic object, he suddenly changed from a genius to a mediocre person. The feeling of wantonly acquiring cosmic energy never appeared again. He could only fish for sporadic cosmic energy in the gray-white world like others. This bit of energy was not enough to sell for money, let alone supply his own cultivation.

Persisted for another two hours.

At six o'clock in the morning, everyone's guidance work ended again.

They went to the cafeteria to eat as usual.

Supervisor Xu Ming brought his assistant to distribute today's salary to them, but unlike yesterday, today's salary was actually more than usual.

"Xu Ming, shouldn't I get 54,000 today? Why did you pay me 110,000? Is it miscounted?" Zhang Gao asked with doubt.

Supervisor Xu Ming explained: "Because the employer may wake up from the cultivation pod tomorrow, your guidance work may stop midway. In order not to cause losses to everyone, we decided to pay everyone a day's salary in advance. At the same time, our cooperation may also end tomorrow. I hope everyone can be prepared."

"What? Only a few days, you don't hire people anymore?" Zhang Gao was surprised.

Supervisor Xu Ming explained: "We need a large number of guides because we need them in a short time. If you want to apply for long-term guides, you have to pass the screening. At least you need a guide certificate to be competent, unless... special talents like Li Yi, we can specially hire."

Zhang Gao was disappointed after hearing this. He wanted to do it for ten days and a half months here, it seems there is no hope.

Lu Jue said at this moment: "We also understand this situation. After all, your asking price is already twice the market price. Only short-term, urgent need for guides will do this. However, if you have similar work in the future, you can still contact me, even if it is three or five days."

"No problem, we have already collected everyone's information. If there is a demand, we will definitely contact everyone for the first time." Supervisor Xu Ming said.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was also a pity after taking the money. She said: "I have to be unemployed after working for four days, it seems I have to find a job again."

Supervisor Xu Ming specifically found Li Yi this time, he said: "Li Yi, your income today is 190,000. Although it is much lower than the first two days, we are still willing to settle your salary tomorrow at 300,000 a day, so I will pay you 490,000 today."

"Hey, no way, give us normal salary, give him special care, this is too unfair?" Another cultivator who had just received his salary saw this and said immediately.

Zhao Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said: "If you have Li Yi's cultivation value, others will also subsidize you more. If you don't have capital, of course you are not worth others' preferential treatment. You still ask, don't you feel ashamed?"

That cultivator reacted immediately after being said so, and left in a sullen manner.

Others smiled without saying a word. Zhao Xiaoxiao was right. Li Yi was treated preferentially because the employer saw Li Yi's cultivation talent and was willing to give more money. They, these people with mediocre cultivation values, of course, could not enter the employer's eyes, and being able to settle a little more salary is considered generous.

"Thanks supervisor, I hope to take care of it in the future if there is work." Li Yi was also smooth, and after taking the money, he immediately said a few good words.

"You're welcome, your cultivation value is high, we often need talents like you here. As long as there is a demand, I will definitely contact you for the first time, and I believe that with Li Yi's cultivation speed, you won't need us to provide work soon. There will definitely be a lot of people willing to invest in you. Maybe after our employer finishes cultivation tomorrow, he will be very happy to fund you." Supervisor Xu Ming said with a smile.

Although he said so, Li Yi was still a bit lost.

Such a good job will be gone tomorrow, and he only earned 990,000 before and after.

Although the amount of this money is not small, Li Yi's expenses are also large now, and he doesn't know how long it can support. He can only think about finding work later.

With the departure of Supervisor Xu Ming, everyone's appetite for eating became worse.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, everyone understands this truth.

"Li Yi, what do you plan to do after resigning tomorrow? Continue to find work, or go back to cultivate for a period of time?"

At this time, Zhao Xiaoxiao took the initiative to walk over with a dinner plate, she seemed to intend to ease the relationship.

Li Yi just said calmly: "I haven't thought about it, maybe I will go to cultivate for a period of time. The money I earned this time is temporarily enough, I don't want to go out to find work."

Zhao Xiaoxiao continued: "Cultivation is very expensive, medical pods, nutrient solution, guides, and even private teachers... How much can you spend on yourself after leaving the money to take care of your parents? So, Li Yi, you should give me a chance to invest in you."

Although Li Yi refused last time, Zhao Xiaoxiao felt that the more Li Yi refused, the more confident she was in her future achievements. If he blindly accepted various investments, Zhao Xiaoxiao would hesitate instead.

Li Yi shook his head: "I'm not interested in your investment, you go to invest in others. There are a lot of cultivators who need investment these days, no need to stare at me. I just want to earn money by myself now, and I don't want to accept funding."

"Well, okay." Zhao Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly in her heart after hearing this. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
