Chapter 40: Good News, Pulled an SSR; Bad News, No Money to Cultivate

Compared to the Life Force Test which focuses on mobilizing Qi Sense and stimulating the body's vitality, the Spiritual Field Power test differs slightly, requiring a comparatively gentler foreplay.

A moment later, a relatively intelligent soft female voice rang out beside Qin Shi's ear:

"Relax, take a deep breath..."

Light, soothing pure music flowed out, like invisible giant hands massaging the spirit, helping him calm his emotions and stretch his muscles.

Immediately after, icy-cool sensor patches were stuck on both his temples and right above his forehead.

A thin film similar to VR glasses covered his face, giving a moist, breathable, skin-friendly sensation.

All preparation procedures completed, the soft female voice spoke again:

"Game start, operation method as follows..."

In Qin Shi's field of vision, there was first a pitch-black expanse, like a heavy curtain, then many disorderly flying light points flashed out.

He had to use his gaze to capture, lock on, from seven or eight at the very beginning to dozens or hundreds.

Just like playing a game, the flying speed would get faster and faster, the trajectory changes more and more complex.

"Only cleared the eighth stage, don't know how this score is."

Five minutes later, Qin Shi finished this preliminary test that seemed like a small game.

Not long after, the pitch-black background lit up again.

This time it changed to interlocking moving targets, quantity and difficulty likewise increasing continuously.

"Eleventh stage, shattered three hundred seventy-five targets."

Qin Shi thought to himself:

"Not only must I lock on target, focus my gaze, but also impose a 'destruction' intent."

Fortunately the moist film stuck on his face silently moisturized his eyes, preventing excessive sore fatigue.

As the background turned pitch-black again, bundles of red lasers shot forth, speeds and trajectories not identical.

Qin Shi had to manipulate the character to dodge and evade, grazing the body's edge would drop the blood bar, a direct hit to a vital point equaled death.

"Two minutes, one hundred twenty seconds, fourth stage."

In the subsequent tests, Qin Shi challenged one "game" after another that seemed simple but were actually difficult.

He considered his scores not too bad, at least he didn't fall at the first stage.

But Lin Yunqing at the console wore an increasingly grave expression, her bright eyes staring fixedly at the abnormally active Spiritual Field Power data, which resembled a soaring fighter jet piercing straight through the clouds!

The operation process of these small games was to mobilize the testee's brain into accelerated operation, like a car igniting and preheating its engine!

As Qin Shi cleared one small game after another, his spirit naturally became highly concentrated, thereby evolving a fluctuation curve resembling an electrocardiogram.

At this moment, this fluctuation curve was like a once-in-a-thousand-years great bull market, rising at an astonishing speed!

"Attention concentration, nerve reaction speed, sensory acuity... not a single item below eighty points! Could it be, Assistant Teacher Qin broke not the Tendon Gate Great Limit, but the Spirit Gate?"

Lin Yunqing's original delighted mood vanished, replaced by incredulous shock and alarm.

If, under the condition that Qin Shi had not broken the Spirit Gate Great Limit, his Spiritual Field Power reached this standard.

The only possibility is, he is a born Spiritual Cultivator!

"Mechanics must communicate with Machine Souls, Espers must project their own consciousness for remote projection, set coordinate Anchor Points, conduct navigation... so these paths, besides requiring Life Force, also cannot have too low a Spiritual Cultivation level."

Lin Yunqing's expression suddenly twisted, like someone happily shopping with their salary, then discovering the budget was exceeded.

Also as if smelling a faint calf fragrance, but having no money to buy a full position, ruthlessly eating rice!

Now she faced two choices.

Either give up and don't buy, endure the pain and leave; or ruthlessly chop hands, spend the remaining days gnawing steamed buns and cooking instant noodles.

Either clear the warehouse and leave, never touch it again; or sell the car, sell the house, take loans and go all in, gamble for a big one!

"If Martial Artist is the hottest profession, then Mechanic is the major with the best employment.

New Star development, base construction, Divine Machine maintenance, component welding... once you become a Mechanic, get certified, over a thousand technical job types free to choose, equals holding an Iron Rice Bowl.

Espers need even less mention, the legendary noble profession, Dongxia T0 sequence! Even Imperial Capital's Young Masters, Haizhou's Young Masters, facing future positions as 'Bridge Commander', 'Star Sea Navigator' Espers, have to lower their heads!"

Lin Yunqing was anxious like ants on a hot pan, this sense of urgency from discovering an unmined gold mine but having only a pickaxe in hand, made her restlessly pace for once.

"Mechanics need certification, if it's the most sought-after, perpetually undersupplied 'Senior Soul Welder', 'Mech Soul Maintenance', 'Mech Soul Installation and Awakening' and other technical job types, the investment for the first three years must be in the tens of millions tier.

Espers are even more troublesome, must test into the Four Great National Universities to possibly access related majors, without enduring three to five years, mastering the Spiritual Roaming Skill, there's no way to graduate."

Lin Yunqing, who never felt she lacked money, slumped in her chair, deeply feeling the powerlessness brought by poverty.

Compared to the boundless prospects of "Mechanic", "Esper", Martial Artist completely belongs to a Civilian Profession.

Their employment directions are "Senior Engineer", "Chief Designer of Divine Machines", "Star Sea War Corps Officer", "Think Tank Researcher".

"Every single one starts at millions annual salary, system benefits, even commendations and titles, high authority, able to handle affairs, quality blue-chip stocks."

Lin Yunqing covered her face with both hands, as the fluctuation curve on the console display screen trended toward stability, likewise stopping at "15", her mood grew increasingly chaotic, as if she had missed a grand prize lottery ticket.

"Vitality and Spirit Dual Cultivation, Qi Guang Heng University's graduates from the past ten sessions, can't find a few, all are hot cakes. Usually this kind of good seedling, all get picked by the Four Great National Universities, can't be kept at all... eh, got it!"

Lin Yunqing turned her mobile phone, swiped the screen and tapped open the 【Universe Beautiful Girl Heavenly Group (5)】 Communication Group, lightly tapped and typed.

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Luck exploded, single pull got SSR, but no money to cultivate what to do? Waiting online, urgent.】

A few seconds later.

【Shocking Waves Killing: Suggest sell account. I'm a student, free carry me, thanks.】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Die far away!】

After a while, someone else joined the chat.

【Milky White Snow Child: Of course use other people's money to raise your own card. Listen to me, rent the account to non-god players, make money and save money.】

【Wearing Su Fei Show My Divine Might: A Xue's words make sense, crowdfunding to raise the card is the kingly way. SSR this rare, there will always be people willing to spend money.】

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop: Lin Yunqing you dog woman, don't let me see you! Otherwise see once beat once*******】

Watching the messages flashing by one by one, Lin Yunqing fell into thought.

【Added friend "Lightning Cyclone Slash"】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Baby, I've got an A+ Project that's guaranteed profit with no risk, want to join?】

【This message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party】

Lin Yunqing persisted without letup, continuously adding friends.

【Lightning Cyclone Slash: Old Martial Genius back from the dead again?】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Wrong, now he's a San Tan Heavy Industry Chief Designer Seed, Star Sea War Corps Officer Reserve, plus an Old Martial Youth Genius with hopes of breaking through to Martial Artist.】

【Lightning Cyclone Slash: Too many people, my house can't fit them.】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Genuine, Qi Life Force fifteen points, Spiritual Field Power fifteen points, currently a Minor, salty or sweet and knows how to hit women.】

【Lightning Cyclone Slash: Believe this, might as well believe you dug up He Lanchan's Tian Yu Mi Zang.】

Lin Yunqing raised her mobile phone and snapped photos, sending the Qi Life Force and Spiritual Field Power test data over.

Then she coolly blacklisted and deleted the friend.

Got you, little guy, wasn't that simple!

She immediately sent a message to Elder Brother Lin Xiaohan.

【Sweet Sister: Brother, for Qiguang Heng University freshman enrollment, how much Student Aid Support can I apply for?】

【Lin Xiaohan: That depends on the student's talent and potential, a comprehensive judgment is made.】

【Sweet Sister: Then if I tell you, there's an under-eighteen, Qi Life Force fifteen points, Spiritual Field Power fifteen points, walking the Old Martial Path, just broke through the First Limit of Physical Body High School Senior Little Brother, currently not yet discovered by the Four Great National Universities and Martial Association.】

【Sweet Sister: How much is he worth?】

【Lin Xiaohan: Out of money again? I get what you mean, say it, what are you preparing to buy, how much short?】

【Lin Xiaohan: Next time make your excuse longer, this kind of content is obviously fake.】

【Sweet Sister: It's real! Urgent. JPG】

【Lin Xiaohan: Sister, let me tell you a cold fact, according to the Dongxia Supernatural Pathway Sequence Table published by the North China Imperial Capital, the "Spirituality" and "Vitality" of a Mortal Body are often incompatible.】

【Lin Xiaohan: Otherwise why do you think, in Dongxia's thousands of years of great expansion, no one has ever simultaneously attained "Martial God" and "Shen Li Da General Manager Shi".】

【Lin Xiaohan: The closest record so far, looking back is Yan Haishan, flesh became Martial God, spirit nearing Manifest Saint. Looking forward, it's He Lanchan, spirit Manifest Saint, flesh a bit short, Half-step Martial God.】

【Lin Xiaohan: That High School Senior Little Brother you mentioned, if he can make Qi Life Force break through thirty, Spiritual Field Power reach twenty-five or above, the Four Great National Universities will all specially recruit him.】

Lin Yunqing blankly closed the communication software, raised her head to look at Qin Shi walking out of the testing chamber.

I'm freaking out.

Thrown by my dad into the Youth Palace to reflect on my mistakes, and I picked up a peerless Monster of "Spirit-Flesh Unity"!

After waiting twenty-two years, is the great female lead Feng Aotian template finally about to begin?

"Urban Noble Lady Picks Up an Old Martial Little Wolfdog, Love Me Don't Stop!"

Serializing grandly!
