Chapter 72 The Genius Cultivator Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 1) Listening to the continuous…

Hearing the series of notification sounds, Lin You couldn't help but feel happy; her points balance had already reached 747.

Although those high-end items are still out of reach, at least we don't have to feel bad about buying small things anymore.

Lin You has been an orphan since childhood, so she is not too attached to things other than survival. Things like a personal space are not something she necessarily needs.

The house that came out of the treasure chest was quite nice; it was an exquisite two-story Chinese-style building, much prettier than the simple wooden house she had bought.

The mailbox was a mailbox-like item placed at the entrance of the small building, which meant that she could only write and receive mail after returning to the system space.

Lin You wrote letters to Chu Nanfeng and Shen Zechen to let them know she was safe, then rubbed her groggy head and went to the bedroom. The house was fully furnished, and the bed was big and soft. She lay down on it and quickly fell asleep.

There is no concept of time in the system space, and she didn't know how long she had slept until she felt refreshed before waking up.

Lin You stretched happily, and was about to go to her next task when she suddenly remembered that she had another reward: the system forum.

The name "forum" suggests it's a great place to exchange information. Back then, all five of them were in a car accident. Since she was able to be recruited by the Time and Space Administration, could others possibly have the same opportunity?

I opened the system forum with high expectations, thinking it would be full of sophisticated technical discussions, walkthroughs, or at least some beginner's guides.

Who knew that after opening it, the screen was full of all kinds of complaints. Some said that the task subject was too clever and disobedient, some said that the task subject was too stupid and troublesome to do the task, and some said that the task subject was weird and liked to cause trouble.

Lin You felt uncertain. She was lucky to have met good people in both worlds, but she couldn't let her guard down in the later worlds.

With a learning attitude, Lin You clicked on a post, wanting to see what other systems had gone through and how to complete tasks.

The target of this mission was also in danger at the beginning, but the system did not prevent the target from encountering danger in the first place. Instead, it appeared in a rescue-and-saves manner when the target was in dire straits.

Then, based on the needs of the task, a bunch of incredibly detailed sub-tasks were assigned, and the trainees were trained like puppets. They were then made to do things in the name of the system, commonly known as "farming points".

Lin You, ...Is there something wrong with this system?

Lin You read several in a row, and they were all similar. The system was constantly controlling the task object, and sometimes the control failed, which meant that the task object was extremely wicked.

Lin You frowned as she read through dozens of posts before finally finding some useful information about trying out the cheat code.

The system that posted the message said that it only required male candidates to seduce their male superiors, and that they could gain 800 points if they succeeded.

As a result, the target of the task refused to agree, causing it to fail the task, lose 800 points, and also lose its cheat ability.

Lin You learned from the complaints in the post that the cheat code trial can be obtained by each system, but if the cheat code task fails, the right to use it will be completely lost.

The most powerful system to date, it has been tested in seven worlds with its cheat-like features.

Lin You looked around again but found no information about other people. Instead, she found information about their schemes and methods against the targets of the mission.

She couldn't help but leave a comment refuting this, saying that the system and the task object should coexist amicably and harmoniously, and then she was surrounded by a group of systems who bombarded her with more than two hundred messages.

Lin You couldn't argue with so many people on her own, so she eventually shut down the system forum to avoid seeing anything and clicked the button for the next world.

After she shut down the system forum, those bored system users even made a bet on her, betting how long it would take for her to come back to the forum crying and asking for advice.

Lin You opened her eyes again, forgetting her anger, and was stunned by the scene before her.

This place looks like a very large manor, several times larger than Chu Nanfeng's palace. The buildings are antique and elegant, and the people in the manor are also dressed in ancient style.

What surprised her was their mode of transportation. The people shuttling back and forth in the air were riding on swords, their figures as fast as lightning. They were flying on swords!

She's somehow ended up in a cultivation world!

After reading so many posts, it did have some effect. At least she discovered that every time the system arrived in a new world, the task object it was to bind to would soon encounter a very serious disaster.

Lin You wasted no more time and flew towards the villa according to the direction indicated by the system. Her destination was not far away; it was a quiet courtyard near the back of the mountain.

The courtyard is spacious, with a very common siheyuan layout. There are not many decorative items inside, but the stones paving the ground are even more lustrous than the finest white jade.

Just as Lin You was hesitating whether to go in to look for someone, she was suddenly pulled by an invisible force and dragged into the house without any ability to resist.

She was completely terrified. The cultivation world was so dangerous; they could actually catch her even when she was invisible!

The room was also sparsely furnished, with only a futon in the center. A woman in white, with a cool and aloof demeanor, sat cross-legged on the futon. Her eyes were deep and unwavering, and even her voice was calm: "Who are you?"

Seeing the orange question mark above the other person's head, Lin You wisely revealed herself and sincerely explained her identity and purpose.

Lin You's mission this time is to help the target and her family avoid being harmed by the demons.

Successfully completing the mission will earn you 400 points and 400 experience points, which is still double that of the previous world.

However, the points will not keep doubling indefinitely. After all, the system has completed more than a dozen tasks, and the current task points are only 400.

Ye Xinglan frowned slightly. She could tell from Lin You's aura that she wasn't lying, but this was still too unbelievable.

Lin You continued, "Miss, you're about to face a calamity. Let me find out the specific reason first, and we can talk after we've resolved this, okay?"

"Okay." Ye Xinglan nodded, watching as she casually tapped a few times in the air and fiddled around for a while, her expression becoming serious.

Lin You gasped as she read the system's storyline. It was about Ye Zhen, a modern woman who transmigrated to the world of cultivation. She leveled up, fought monsters, collected treasures, and encountered various handsome men along the way.

The story of how they finally defeated the demon king, protected the world, and successfully ascended to the immortal realm.

Ye Xinglan, and the entire Ye family, are the reason that motivates the protagonist Ye Zhen to strive and work hard.

One night, the female protagonist, who had traveled through time for a whole year, missed home and went for a stroll in the back mountain in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. As a result, she found a boy who was extremely handsome and had a delicate and pitiful temperament, who was exactly her type.

She took the unconscious boy back to the courtyard, cleaned and bandaged his wounds, changed his clothes and fed him, and even gave him the medicine she had painstakingly saved.

Who knew that this person was actually a demon? He deceived Ye Zhen's trust and stayed in her courtyard to recuperate. After he recovered, he used Ye Zhen to poison and slaughter the entire Ye family, with only Ye Zhen escaping.

Ye Zhen was originally a simple and kind-hearted girl, but she matured overnight after this ordeal, and then worked hard to avenge the entire Ye family.

Ye Xinglan was one of the entire family that was slaughtered. She was the most talented and promising genius cultivator in the Ye family, but she was killed without any resistance after being poisoned because she was completely unprepared in her own home.

"This should happen soon, why don't we go to the back mountain now?" Lin You suggested, looking at the already dim sky outside.

Ye Xinglan got up decisively and walked towards the back mountain. Lin You hurriedly followed, not daring to perch on her shoulder, but flying behind her.

"...While taking a walk in the back mountain, Ye Zhen found a particularly handsome demon. He was the most powerful demon king in the demon race, but he had become weaker because he had cultivated some kind of technique, and he had also been seriously injured in a fight." Lin You paused for a moment, but finally revealed the truth:

"This demon wiped out the entire Ye family. Only Ye Zhen escaped. Later, she worked hard to cultivate and eventually killed the great demon to avenge you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan remained expressionless. She led Lin You around the back mountain, but they couldn't find the demon she had described as very handsome.

"Is it possible that Ye Zhen has already saved her?" Lin You whispered, looking at the mission target who hadn't spoken.

Ye Xinglan nodded, and was about to go over to Ye Zhen's side to find out what was going on, but suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

Lin You followed her gaze. After they had walked around, it was already dark. The moon and stars were few and far between, and there was nothing unusual.

Just then, it seemed as if a crack had been torn open in the sky above, and something fell from the sky, landing with a thud on the open ground ten meters away from them.

Lin You peeked out from behind Ye Xinglan and saw a man lying on the ground, his hair disheveled and his white clothes stained with blood.

He was indeed very handsome, with delicate features and jade-like skin. There was a dark red mark between his eyebrows. He was currently unconscious with his eyes closed.

The boy had long, thick eyelashes, slightly furrowed brows, and tightly pursed pink lips, exuding a pure yet alluring charm.

Unfortunately, Lin You had no senses, and Ye Xinglan was a cultivation fanatic, so neither of them felt anything about it.

Thanks to Lin You's earlier reminder, Ye Xinglan did indeed detect a very faint demonic aura from the young man. If she hadn't been so close and hadn't examined him so carefully, she probably would have missed it.

Just then, a girl suddenly walked towards the intersection ahead. When she saw Ye Xinglan, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

In the cultivation world, apart from clear blood ties or master-disciple relationships, seniority is determined by cultivation level. Ye Xinglan is the Ye family member with the highest cultivation level, apart from a few elders. Ye family disciples all call her "Senior Sister".

Ye Zhen felt that her luck was really bad. She just came out to clear her mind because she was thinking about her past life and couldn't calm down. Who knew that she would run into the scene of Ye Xinglan killing and burying the body.

Between pretending not to see and turning away, or helping to dig the hole and bury the person, Ye Zhen hesitated for only a moment before stepping forward to ask:

"Senior sister, do you need help digging a hole to bury the body? I know where to find an iron shovel."

Lin You: ………?

The protagonist of this world is quite helpful.

Ye Xinglan gave Ye Zhen a strange look, but finally nodded to her, "Then go get it."

After Ye Zhen turned and left, Lin You saw Ye Xinglan suddenly reach out and draw a long sword as white as moonlight from thin air.

The sword's edge was chilling, as sharp as lightning. Before Lin You could even see what was happening, the sword was already embedded in the demon's heart.

It took Lin You a while to realize that the ruthless and vicious Demon King, who had gathered a bunch of demons and stirred up a bloody storm in the cultivation world, was really dead?!

She stared at the demon for a while before finally asking, "This guy used to be at the Nascent Soul stage. What if he didn't die completely, like coming back to life or possessing another's body?"

Upon hearing her words, Ye Xinglan reached out and drew her longsword, the blade trailing a string of bright red blood droplets.

Before Lin You could say anything, Ye Xinglan thrust out her sword again, cleanly and decisively piercing the demonic cultivator's neck, piercing his throat.

Lin You: Wow! So handsome!

She couldn't help but secretly applaud in her heart.

"This body is lifeless. His current cultivation level is only at the late Golden Core stage. He cannot rebuild his physical body, nor can he possess another body."

Ye Xinglan's voice remained cold, but her words surprised Lin You. Was she explaining the question she had just asked?

"Okay, I understand." Lin You smiled sweetly at Ye Xinglan. This mission target looked cold, but she was actually a pretty nice person.

Just as she finished expressing her feelings, Lin You received a system notification that she had successfully bound herself to the task target.

This is somewhat unexpected. For cultivators, contracts shouldn't be something that can be formed casually.

Ye Xinglan seemed to see her doubts and pointed at the demonic cultivator, saying, "This demon should be trying to rebuild his succubus cultivation. Succubus cultivation is harsh, but it can bewitch people's hearts. His blood is poisonous. When you come into contact with it, you will not know it, but you will be controlled by the owner of the blood."

If she hadn't discovered this demon race today, the Ye family's fate would probably have been much like what Lin You described.

Succubi are rare even among demons. This one, for example, had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul but still had to disperse and start over. When she first began cultivating, her abilities were weak, making her easy prey for other cultivators.

However, as its cultivation level increases, its abilities will also become more and more powerful. A hundred years ago, a succubus in the Nascent Soul stage appeared and single-handedly destroyed several cultivation sects.

It was because he was too greedy that he poisoned a Nascent Soul cultivator, and his whereabouts were discovered. After being poisoned, the senior directly self-destructed, taking the succubus down with him, thus eliminating that calamity.
