Chapter 108: Lin Ling Wants to Kill Me! (9th Update, Requesting Subscriptions!)

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu felt her talent should let her eat anything, and combining them would be so much better—why eat just one thing alone?

But she had no idea that having something to eat at this hour of night was already a blessing, let alone being picky.

She cautiously glanced at Fang Yue and saw he was still cultivating; she immediately sighed in relief, didn't care about the dirty ground, and lay down beside him, panting heavily as she rested and digested the food in her stomach.

Half-asleep, she actually fell asleep in the game.

When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Fang Yue's large face.

"N-Ne, Ye Ge?! W-What's wrong?! I'm still a student, I can't date!"

"... Dating? You're dreaming about Tao Zi! I'm asking you—why didn't you tell me after eating the steamed bun last night?"

Fang Yue cultivated the Starfire Heart Method, fully focused, practicing straight through the night.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu lying on the ground like a dead pig, snoring loudly, fast asleep.

The only strange thing was that after this sleep, her stomach had flattened back out—no longer as rounded as it had been last night.

Then came Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's awakening.

"I was just afraid you'd get mad... Ye Ge, I really can't eat any more steamed buns!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu spoke with a gloomy face, but soon her peripheral vision caught something outside the window, and she froze.

"Wait! Last night? Ye Ge, has a whole night passed?!"

"What do you think?!"

Fang Yue replied irritably.

You can even sleep inside the game? Impressive.

The Game Watch was meant for you to sleep in reality at night and enter the game, waking up in the morning having fully rested your game time.

But Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu actually managed to sleep inside the game—is this what they call "sleeping while sleeping"?

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, flustered under Fang Yue's stare, quickly changed the subject: "Y-Yes! Ye Ge, after I ate the steamed bun last night, my stats went up again!"

Fang Yue spoke with no inflection, like a robot: "Heh! You're so awesome!"

"... Cough! Y-Yes! By the way, how was your cultivation last night, Ye Ge?"

Good question!

Fang Yue glanced at her and opened his own stat list.

"Name: Yese Liming."

"Realm: Post-Heaven Third-Rate."

"Status: Normal."

"HP: 200/200."

"Internal Qi: 50/50."

"Offensive Power: 6.9 【Base: 26.9】 【Status/Bonus: -20】."

"Defensive Power: 6.6 【Base: 26.6】 【Status/Bonus: -20】."

"Talent: Night's Breath 【Human-Class Upper Tier】."

"Skills: Analysis Pupil 【Human-Class Lower Tier】, Starfire Blade Technique Level 1 【Post-Heaven Third-Rate】, Starfire Heart Method Level 1 【Post-Heaven Third-Rate】."

"Lifespan: 1 month, 11 days."

In one night, five days of lifespan were burned, the Heart Method's proficiency improved further, Offensive and Defensive Power each increased by 0.3 points, and Internal Qi rose by 15 points to exactly 50.

"System Prompt: Congratulations, player, your cultivation of the Starfire Heart Method has slightly improved—Offensive Power +0.3."

"System Prompt: Congratulations, player, your cultivation of the Starfire Heart Method has slightly improved—Defensive Power +0.3."

Compared to before, when it took seven days to gain stats, burning five days of lifespan to boost two attributes was clearly a sign of progress.

And his cultivation speed had also increased significantly—perhaps due to proficiency.

Either way, Fang Yue felt the Starfire Heart Method was getting better the more he practiced!

Aside from the heavy lifespan drain and the slowing rate of Internal Qi gains...

Still, the feeling of slowly gaining strength was incredibly satisfying.

Compared to this, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's Food Absorption Talent was far stronger than Fang Yue's grueling practice—indeed, it was monstrous.

After all, Fang Yue burned lifespan just to gain a tiny bit of stats.

But Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu simply ate and ate—and her stats rose.

No lifespan drain, just food and money spent.

Her stats rose slowly, but the process was effortless and cost-free—still, it was extremely powerful, and in some ways even stronger than Niu Niu's innate god-strength talent.

After learning Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's situation, Fang Yue grew even more optimistic about her.

"Wu Wu, your future is bright, very bright. Stick with me—I guarantee you'll never lack food!"

"..."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu fell silent. Was it about not lacking food? It was about not wanting to eat steamed buns anymore!

As if reading her mind, Fang Yue added: "Every day, hot, spicy, fragrant meals—no repeats!"

"Yay!!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu immediately jumped up.

For some reason, though she'd nearly burst from eating yesterday, today she felt hungry again—and could eat!

Am I the legendary foodie? But wait—I wasn't this big an eater in real life?

Never mind! As long as I don't eat steamed buns, anything's fine!!

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu bounced happily; Fang Yue smiled but said nothing.

He thought for a moment and asked: "By the way, do you have class today?"

Fang Yue knew she was a student—a college student.

"No class in the morning! Only in the afternoon!"

"Good, let's go! I'm on day and night shift today—I'll take you to taste some real delicious food!"

During the day, all the shops in the village opened.

Although Gu Yue Cun was just a village, it offered many kinds of food—sweet and sour pork ribs, sour and spicy cabbage, meatballs, braised rabbit meat… all sorts of dishes. Fang Yue often liked to eat a few bites himself, so he brought Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu along to show her, so she wouldn't think Gu Yue Cun only had cold steamed buns.

The two walked out of the Guard Station one behind the other, when they saw Lin Ling approaching with a long spear.

Fang Yue froze—wasn't this guy supposed to be slacking off his day shift onto me? Why is he here at the Guard Station?

Could it be… he had a change of heart and no longer needed me to work?

Thinking of this, Fang Yue felt a surge of joy—he could spend the day practicing the Water Sky Blade Technique.

At this thought, he stepped forward two paces, ready to greet Lin Ling.

But then he suddenly froze.

Because he noticed Lin Ling's expression was wrong.

It was… an expression of intense fury—dark, icy, veins bulging, his right hand gripping the spear as if ready to kill at any moment… the killing intent nearly slammed into his face!

Wait, wait! What the hell is going on?!

Why is he so angry? What happened?

Fang Yue was bewildered, and just then, the parchment's message suddenly surfaced in his mind.

【Hehehe! The corpse is speaking!】

Damn! You're not silent now?

Fang Yue told Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to retreat inside the Guard Station, then cautiously called out toward Lin Ling: "Good… good morning, Brother Lin. You seem awfully angry this early..."

"Monster!!"

In response, a thunderous roar of fury erupted.

In an instant, Lin Ling's vision blurred—he stomped the ground, a loud bang echoed, and he lunged straight at Fang Yue.

Holy shit?!!

Fang Yue's soul nearly fled—he tried to dodge but couldn't move.

His pitiful 6.9 and 6.6 stats during the day made sweat pour down his forehead.

At that moment, Lin Ling reached him, the spear thrusting straight toward Fang Yue's forehead.

End!
