Chapter 34: Junior Sister Li Shan Begins to Roll Back
Chapter 34: Junior Sister Li Shan Begins to Roll Back
He Lingyun huddled quietly aside and listened attentively, and roughly understood the whole story. The sisters from Caiyun Peak were so angry because Wen Rui, for some unknown reason, no longer purchased materials such as blood, feathers, claws, etc.
Wen Rui has been engaged in this acquisition business for nearly two hundred years, and it had already started before He Lingyun joined the sect. It has become a habit for disciples of the Lishan Immortal Sect to sell small body parts to supplement their family income. It is the most important way to obtain spirit stones besides the monthly spirit stones issued by the sect.
Some junior sisters who failed in the sect competition sold small parts of their bodies to obtain far more spirit stones from the Jinling Sect than the sect distributed. Once they lose this income, their daily practice will be greatly affected.
In addition, the Paradise on Earth had just opened, and a group of junior sisters had just had a taste of the new experience and were very excited about the experience. They wanted to experience it again, but the requirement was changed to passing an exam to allow entry.
Most people like to stay in their comfort zone, and once the system changes, it will always cause anxiety among most people.
Furthermore, "a pinch of rice is a thank you, a pound of rice is a grudge" is a human weakness, and even practitioners are not immune to this. What's more, the demon cultivators of the Lishan Immortal Sect are still inexperienced and find it difficult to see through many things, so they are inevitably dissatisfied with Wen Rui's reforms.
He Lingyun is no longer a mediocre person. The experiences of these days have made her mature a lot. She looks at Wen Rui through a filter and can't help but feel sorry for Senior Brother Wen.
The girl thought to herself, "Even if the blood, feathers, claws and eggs of demon cultivators are valuable, there is no place to sell them. Senior Brother Wen is willing to spend spirit stones to buy them, which is obviously a disguised way of helping everyone. Not only are we not grateful to him, but we take it for granted. We are resentful of him for canceling this system. Is this reasonable?"
Originally, she wanted to stand up and say these words to defend Senior Brother Wen, but when the words came to her lips, she thought about the series of books that should have belonged to her alone, but now everyone had a copy, and she was not Senior Brother Wen's only choice. She couldn't help but feel sour for no reason in her heart, and hesitated for a moment but did not speak.
At the same time, He Lingyun was also very confused as to how Senior Brother Wen became so notorious. He was obviously doing his best to help his fellow junior sisters, but he refused to explain himself clearly. He had given a lot silently but received no gratitude or respect at all.
When you think about the deliberate smear campaign by the housekeeper of Tianshang Renjian, who secretly instilled in a group of fellow students the idea that he was an ugly monster with no talent or morals, and used the strategy of hiding his incompetence and keeping a low profile to the extreme, why is this happening?
After thinking it over and over again, the only reasonable explanation He Lingyun could come up with was that Senior Brother Wen was a gentleman who cared about his junior sister wholeheartedly!
A man who is rich, talented, loving, idealistic and intelligent, as long as he is not shockingly ugly, is fatally attractive to women.
He Lingyun had observed Wen Rui carefully. He looked sloppy and unruly, but that was just a disguise. As long as he tidied himself up, washed his hair and shaved, how ugly could he be?
If he takes good care of his outward image, puts on a cold attitude that keeps strangers away, is rude to his junior sisters, and behaves like a flower on the mountain, he is just pretending to be deep. Instead, it will increase his appeal to the junior sisters who are ignorant of the world, and he will become the white moonlight in the hearts of all the junior sisters in Lishan Immortal Sect. If things go wrong, it will even cause female competition within the sect and endless disputes.
The Mother of Mount Li, who has become increasingly close to Western religions in the past hundred years, hates her disciples being tempted by the mortal world and having feelings for each other the most. Once she discovers that a female disciple in the sect has an affair, no matter if it is a forbidden love between a human and a demon, or she is fooling around with a male demon, she will be ruthlessly expelled from the sect.
Senior Brother Wen is a gentleman. He does not want the girls who have a crush on him to be punished, and tries his best to avoid the tragedy of "once meeting Wen Rui, one's life will be ruined".
He thought more deeply, and his method of politely rejecting the favor of his junior sisters was also very clever. He went a little too far when interacting with them, not hesitating to defile himself and make them dislike him, thus completely eliminating the hidden danger.
A human being, without any self-interest, is willing to sacrifice his own reputation and interests, and regards the cultivation future and personal safety of the demon cultivators of the Lishan Immortal Sect as his life's work. What kind of spirit is this?
He Lingyun couldn't help but think of what Wen Rui said to the little fairies: "Does family only refer to the meeting of blood? Family is something that strangers meet and then build. The heart of loving each other is the reason why all living beings form a family..."
After mutual confirmation, the girl gradually understood Brother Wen's original intention. He truly treated the Lishan sisters as his own sisters. Only sisters would feel disgusted with their brothers who were obviously very outstanding and loved them wholeheartedly.
Isn't that what it is?
He really did, and I cried... Thinking of this, He Lingyun's eyes became moist again.
The criticism meeting of Wen Rui in the library was gradually coming to an end. The birds on Caiyun Peak were tired of chirping and scolding, so they dispersed and found a desk to sit down and picked up the books reluctantly.
Even the black-clothed girl who cursed the most awkwardly picked up the Mathematics book on which she had stepped on two paw prints, sat down obediently and read the book carefully. While reading, she wrote and drew on the table with her fingers, as if she was doing some calculations.
No matter what you say or what you curse, it’s sad that these days if you have spirit stones you can really do whatever you want.
Especially for the disciples of Lishan Immortal Sect who were so poor that they only had a good-looking appearance left, if they did not answer questions in Jinling Sect to earn spirit stones, they would have to risk their lives and leave the protection of the sect to compete for resources with the disciples of Chenjiao, Renjiao and Xifangjiao who were extremely hostile to them and coveted them.
Wen Rui also grasped the degree of these girls' disgust towards him just right. Although they were disgusted and annoyed, it did not rise to the level of hatred.
The worst revenge they could think of was to put him in a sack and beat him up to vent their anger, but unfortunately Wen Rui never gave them a chance, so they could only curse him and get rid of their resentment. After that, they still had to follow the rules set by Wen Rui.
There are few fairies who can transform into human form and have very low intelligence. This series of books is only of junior high and high school level, and also contains a lot of elementary school curriculum content.
The junior sisters couldn't answer the difficult questions, but they could barely make ends meet by answering a few elementary school exercises to gain points. However, if they wanted to live a carefree life in heaven, they would have to work hard. The carrot on the stick was just that.
Ya Yan Ge happened to be kneeling at the table near He Lingyun. She was flipping through a book and doing calculations while muttering softly, "It's not that difficult. The top five in the exam can qualify as interns, with a monthly salary of 1,000 spirit stones. Maybe I can give it a try. If I become an intern of the Jinling Sect, it will be easier to get close to that ugly guy. Maybe I'll have a chance to slap him in the face..."
As she muttered this, her enthusiasm for learning suddenly increased a lot, and she turned the pages of the book and checked calculations more frequently.
The entire library was quiet, with only the sound of flipping pages and the occasional recitation of the multiplication table. The atmosphere was thick with learning. He Lingyun was startled. She knew the black-clothed girl Ya Yan Ge very well. Although she was the most cheerful little crow and had the most aversion to learning, she was actually the smartest among all the sisters in Caiyun Peak and was most likely to learn this series of books well.
He Lingyun is a hard-working academic master, while Little Crow is a gifted academic genius. If Ya Yange works hard, she will definitely get one of the few internship spots.
Looking at the other sisters and junior students in the library, they are all studying hard, whether it is because they are afraid of not being able to earn spirit stones and having their spirit roots backfire, or they want to get good grades to go to heaven and earth to play, or they are eyeing the internship position with a monthly salary of 1,000 spirit stones, in short, everyone is very motivated to study.
This enthusiasm is much more positive than when they were practicing. Fairy Master Caiyun is not a strict teacher. The spiritual stone subsidy from Jinling Sect also makes the resource allocation system for the sect ranking competition less cruel. Among this group of freedom-loving little birds, except for the arrogant and outstanding ones like Luan Qingyu and He Lingyun, the rest usually maintain a peaceful and happy shepherd mentality for a long time.
A sense of crisis suddenly came over He Lingyun's heart. She began to panic and felt complicated.
During the three days when his junior sisters were spending free time in Paradise on Earth, He Lingyun had been studying non-stop. Although he was not too tired physically, he felt a little slack mentally. He wanted to interrupt his studies and find a place to watch the clouds and fish and relax for a while, but he immediately gave up the idea.
She quickly put the two books in her arms on the table, and couldn't wait to open the "Mathematics" book, and started studying the next chapter of the "Linear Equations of Two Variables" course as soon as possible.
The girl made up her mind: "I must not let that evil-minded black crow get close to Senior Brother Wen. You want to compete in study, right? I will definitely kill you!"
……
The administrative hall on the twelfth floor of the Jinling Sect’s underground palace.
At this moment, Wen Rui had no idea how much his fellow sisters who were dismissed from Heaven and Earth wanted to beat him up, nor did he know that a strong learning atmosphere of competing, helping and surpassing each other had been formed in the Lishan Immortal Sect.
"The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it." How to punctuate this sentence depends on the context. Anyway, it's fine as long as it can achieve the purpose he wants to achieve.
The research and development of the "Demon God General" breeding suit has come to an end, and the collection of demon gene samples from the junior sisters has become useless. Even if this is a poverty alleviation project, there is no need to continue if it cannot maintain a minimum balance between income and expenditure.
By replacing the gene sample exchange system with the exam points system, Wen Rui wanted to test whether promoting and spreading the essence of the Jiejiao that he had modified could improve the progress of the task of reviving the Jiejiao.
There is nothing wrong in helping fellow disciples of Jiejiao, but you can't help them without any reason, as this will easily lead to raising a bunch of lazy and useless people.
After all, no one's spirit stones come from the wind. The reason why Wen Rui was able to accumulate a fortune that rivals that of Tony was because he had earned it by cheating and deceiving people during the past five hundred years to expand his business empire; he had earned it by making automatic mining robots, digging the mines one drill at a time; he had earned it by contracting projects, doing hard labor, selling smuggled goods, and making cheap money, all with his hard work and sweat.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that he inherited the huge inheritance left by his cheap father, Wen Zhong, the mortal representative of Jiejiao and the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, after his death in Juelong Ridge. But this mere inheritance cannot be used to negate his unremitting efforts over the years.
At this moment, Wen Rui was sitting in the boss chair in the president's office of the administrative district, flipping through the annual financial statements sent by Jarvis.
The financial statements contained a series of astronomical figures that would make the disciples of Lishan Immortal Sect scream in fear. The amount of spirit stones represented by those figures was enough to enable any one of them to ascend to the Mahayana stage in just a hundred years, and even to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the quality of the spiritual roots is good enough, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand such a huge infusion of spiritual energy, and will directly burst the Dantian Qi Sea.
Wen Rui sometimes envied the fellow apprentice sisters of Li Shan. He had a huge amount of spirit stones, but he couldn't use even a single one of them on himself. His cultivation level had never broken through the Qi training stage, and the only magical power he was proficient in was the earth escape technique.
Before launching the project to develop biochemical armor, Wen Rui had also considered taking the human gene modification route of the "Desperate Virus" or "Compound No. 5" to mutate himself into a top-level spiritual root.
However, the genes of the demon race are too unstable, and the expression of traits in different experimental subjects is completely uncontrollable. If you rashly transform yourself, you may damage your body.
He also understood why "the poor rely on mutations and the rich rely on technology". Iron Man and Batman clearly have the ability to develop human genetic modification technology, but are unwilling to do so.
The poor have only a miserable life. If they don’t gamble, they have no chance. If they win, they become superheroes. If they lose, they rot in the stinky ditch.
Under the survivor bias, people only see the one or two exceptions who become heroes, but fail to see the millions of bodies that died in the sewers.
The life of a rich person is very precious. There is no need to gamble everything on that one in a million chance of success.
Green Goblin Osborn transformed himself because he had a terminal illness and had no choice but to do so. The transformation results were quite mediocre and there were huge hidden dangers.
Wen Rui is in good health and can survive for many more years even if the mission fails. There is really no need for him to give up his simple and boring life to pursue wealth and fame at the risk of his life. He is already rich and powerful, so what else is there to ask for?
