Chapter 485: You Beast

"System, check in!"

"Check-in successful, obtained Sun Moon Pearl! The Sun Moon Pearl gathers the essence of the sun and moon and collects the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth! It is like the sun and moon ascending into the sky, illuminating the great thousand worlds!"

The Sun Moon Pearl has the marvelous utility of gathering Spirit Qi. In the area shrouded by the light of the Sun Moon Pearl, a massive amount of Spirit Qi will converge.

Its Spirit Qi is even several times, a dozen times, or even dozens of times denser than the outside.

This is also related to the holder's cultivation and the range covered by the Sun Moon Pearl; the stronger the holder's cultivation, the faster the Sun Moon Pearl naturally absorbs and gathers Spirit Qi.

When the holder's cultivation remains unchanged, the total amount of Spirit Qi the Sun Moon Pearl absorbs and gathers is also constant. Therefore, the smaller the range covered by the Sun Moon Pearl's light, the denser the Spirit Qi within that range naturally is.

In this way, perhaps without waiting for the Spirit Qi Surge, by relying on the massive amount of Spirit Qi brought by the Sun Moon Pearl, Shen Yu could break through his own limits and step into a new realm.

But thinking about it, if he were to cultivate on his own, he might not even touch the threshold of a breakthrough in ten or eight years. Thinking of it this way, by that time, the Spirit Qi Surge might have already begun.

However, even so, the efficacy of the Sun Moon Pearl is terrifyingly strong.

Truly worthy of being an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years; the sins in their hands could probably rival an entire Evil Man City.

It is a pity that big spenders like the girl in red are hard to find. And as for evil forces similar to Cannibal Valley and Evil Man City, how many are there in the entire Jianghu?

For the time to come, he will probably have to accumulate for a long time before he can check in once; otherwise, if he checks in for doing just any trivial thing, the items produced will be of no use to him now.

Killing evil thugs and slaughtering bandits—although there aren't many big spenders, there are still quite a few small gains to be had.

Let's save up slowly, save up to pull off one big score; only then can he check in for good things.

Next, his work focus will shift to the major project of transforming Xiaozhou. Such a project takes a lot of time, but once successful, the harvest will definitely be no small matter.

Thinking back to when he arrived in this World and obtained a "Hero Check-in System," he was secretly cursing in his heart at the time.

This lousy system had no novice guidance whatsoever; it was all up to him to figure it out.

According to Shen Yu's experience over such a long time, this system allows him to check in and obtain various rewards as long as he acts with chivalry and righteousness.

Helping orphans and widows is a good deed, and helping an old grandmother cross the street is also a good deed.

Back when Shen Yu first obtained the system, he tried helping some people, but the result of the check-in was either loose change or useless tools.

Later on, he understood: it wasn't that the check-in rewards were bad, but that his intensity in acting with chivalry and righteousness was not enough.

Later still, he slowly figured it out. Helping one by one is too slow to make money; on the contrary, hacking people is faster. Those who do evil, kill! Corrupt officials, kill!

Killing one evil thug with blood-stained hands who has committed countless evils is equivalent to indirectly saving dozens of people, so the check-in reward is naturally generous.

Having tasted the sweetness, Shen Yu became unstoppable and began a bloody storm. Basically, wherever he went, the bandit dens, gangs that bullied the good, and corrupt officials were basically wiped out by him in one go.

To this day, rumors still circulate in the Jianghu that no one survives under Shen Yu. Uh, this isn't even a rumor; the fact is indeed like that.

The only thing Shen Yu regrets is when he was sent to the Northern Region for disaster relief. At that time, disaster victims were everywhere in the Northern Region; it was the perfect time for him to show his skills—what a great opportunity.

And yet? The food was found by him, and the corrupt officials were dealt with by him. As long as the disaster victims were settled and countless people were saved, once he checked in, he would definitely have checked out unimaginable rewards.

It is a pity that before he could even start his actions, that group of people in the imperial court transferred him to the Capital.

He had already paved the way in the Northern Region and found the food, just waiting to provide relief to the victims, but he was robbed of the fruits of his labor.

In the end, Shen Yu could only watch with extreme unwillingness as the potentially massive check-in reward drifted away from him.

There was no way around it; at that time he was only a Grandmaster and did not have the qualifications to wrestle with the imperial court.

The imperial court ordered you to come to the Capital, yet you didn't come and instead provided relief to disaster victims in the Northern Region—what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to win the hearts of the people? Are you trying to harbor evil intentions?

When he was hacking away in the Northern Region, he did indeed hack quite a few people, and he offended a great many others. In the imperial court, there were those who admired him, but even more who gnashed their teeth at him.

If they had caught an opportunity, who knows how they would have framed him.

Besides, he had no men of his own; even providing disaster relief relied on the power of the imperial court. Once the imperial court issued a decree, even if he wanted to provide relief, he had no one to use, and all the food would have to be hauled away by the imperial court.

Therefore, when the imperial court's transfer order came down, he had to accept it whether he wanted to or not.

Thinking back, it was frustrating enough; he could only watch helplessly as that rich check-in reward, which was about to be in his hands, just flew away in vain.

But now, he has no more constraints in Xiaozhou. The common people here live even worse than the people in the disaster area of the Northern Region back then; they need to be saved.

As long as Xiaozhou is governed well, the system will surely not let his hard work go to waste.

Of course, it is only right for him to shine and give heat for the common people; checking in is just a side benefit, just a side benefit!

"Huff, huff!" Gu Yutong beside him was still panting heavily, not yet having broken free from the incident of almost being possessed. Shen Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Yutong, how are you feeling now?"

"I feel very well, thank you Brother Shen, you saved me once again!"

Suppressing the panic in her heart, the Shen Yu beside her gave her immense confidence. She had been following by his side for quite a while, and it felt as if there was nothing he could not do.

This time was the same; there was a remnant soul hidden in her body, which she had not noticed at all before.

Just a moment ago, she was still curious about why Shen Yu had called her, and then suddenly the change occurred.

Her consciousness was completely suppressed; she could not see, could not hear, and it seemed as if there was nothingness before her eyes. Here, there was no sound, no light, and she could not even feel the sensations she should have had on her body.

When her consciousness returned to her body, she knew what had happened and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

If not for the rescue by Shen Yu beside her, she might never have discovered it. And then, on some day in the future, she would have been completely possessed, and from then on, her own consciousness would have dissipated and vanished.

That scene made her shudder just thinking about it.

"Brother Shen, thank you!"

Looking up at Shen Yu, Gu Yutong thanked him again. Counting it up, he had already saved her several times. Those Jianghu storybooks all say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body; what should she do? This isn't good!

In her shyness, she touched her own body and her face immediately turned red. At this moment, her clothes were half-undone, and a lot of her skin was exposed.

Such an awkward scene, especially in front of the person who had moved her heart, made her suddenly very shy. She hurriedly put her clothes back on while running away in embarrassment.

It's over, I really have no face to see anyone!

"Tsk tsk, truly good!"

Watching Gu Yutong's retreating back, Shen Yu could not help but sigh. A girl who is young, beautiful, gentle, and sensible like this—who could refuse that?

It's just a pity that her speed in putting on clothes was too fast; I wonder if her speed in taking them off is fast too.

Hey, that's not right; isn't this my job? It doesn't matter if she is fast or not; as long as my movements are fast, that's enough!

"Pah, you beast!" He cursed inwardly. He admitted that he might be about to lose control; compared to being worse than a beast, he felt that being a beast was actually quite good.
