Chapter 165 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part Twelve) Before we even...
Before the forum members could come up with a perfect solution, Lin You said to Mo Kaiyang:
"This cheat code is for trial use only. Users need to identify and address any shortcomings. Please feel free to provide feedback on any needs you may have."
Lin You wasn't lying to him. Aside from the ghost's human customer service, his master had given him a lot of advice on the cheat system, although that advice was a little different from Mo Kaiyang's.
"Look, there's a suggestion button in the bottom left corner of the cheat program. Just send what you need there, and maybe it will be included in the next update."
She doesn't know if the other cheat codes will be updated, but this one is definitely the most considerate.
Mo Kaiyang entered snacks like "ham sausage," "soda," and "spicy strips" with some skepticism. As his reputation value increased to the next critical point, the Golden Finger Shop indeed updated with a lot of snacks.
Besides the ones he mentioned, there were many other snacks with very clean ingredient lists, much healthier than the snacks he ate in modern times.
While browsing the forum, A Piao glanced over here and saw that among a bunch of posts advocating for healthy eating when raising children, there were occasionally one or two posts praising Lin You.
Some even suggested that Lin You switch careers to become a live streaming system operator, promising him generous rewards!
A Piao chuckled. With Lin You's abilities, she no longer needed to rely on system missions to survive. The job of rescuing cannon fodder was easy and free, and even if the salary and benefits were lower, she definitely wouldn't change jobs.
The snacks in the mall were very cheap; one reputation point could buy ten bottles of soda. Even though the soda was a low-sugar version, it tasted pretty good. Mo Kaiyang finally became interested in the Golden Finger Mall.
"I didn't expect this Golden Finger Mall to be so health-conscious." Not only are the potato chips non-fried and fat-free, but they can even make low-sugar, low-fat cakes that taste just as good. That's really impressive.
Lin You remembered that even the snacks she bought from the system store were just ordinary snacks. She thought she hadn't paid attention before, so she went to the store to take a look, and sure enough, they were just ordinary snacks.
Such special snacks do exist, but their prices are basically ten times higher. Even Lin You wouldn't be willing to spend one point to buy two or three bottles of this kind of cola.
Even if other cheat codes are only used on a trial basis, they still make a profit. But with Mo Kaiyang's cheat code, those people probably subsidized him quite a bit.
So she's just a tool system, which is fine. Anyway, this isn't the first time she's won without lifting a finger.
"At least in the future, even if we get lost in the wilderness, we won't have to worry about supplies." Lin You wasn't just saying this casually. Mo Kaiyang, who considered himself to have an excellent sense of direction, got lost again just an hour after entering the desert.
Lin You's fixed orbit can provide navigation, but it can only guide the direction they go and the route they have taken. However, the place Mo Kaiyang wants to go is an oasis in the desert.
It's the oasis described on the food map, with its delicious silverfish and stunning scenery; of course, it's also the headquarters of the Seven Killings Demonic Cult.
This place isn't in the storyline, and Lin You can't locate it.
"Since we're already here, we can't miss this delicious food." Mo Kaiyang carried a fishing rod and a bucket, dressed like a fisherman, though this outfit looked a bit out of place in the desert.
"Isn't your idea to go and see what the Demonic Sect is like? And maybe even exchange a few blows with its leader? If you win, you can then politely persuade him to reform?"
The sense of justice and passion of youth are indeed the most ordinary yet most precious things in the world.
Mo Kaiyang tossed his hair, his tone carrying the unique arrogance of youth, "A fight isn't out of the question. It just so happens that we're on the way here, and I also want to test my skills."
Who would test their martial arts skills by going to the Demonic Sect's lair to provoke them? Do they really think she didn't see that the location marked by the silver fish is the Demonic Sect's headquarters?
Mo Kaiyang looked at Lin You and grinned, "Anyway, with you by my side, Sister Lin, I definitely won't suffer any losses."
Although he didn't know Lin You's skill level, he could tell from the talismans and other items she took out that she was probably not on the same path as him.
This is a martial arts channel, while this person is probably already a fantasy channel.
Lin You had never hidden her abilities. Seeing his interest, she took out her sword. Holding the sword in her hand, her previously lazy demeanor instantly transformed into one of fierce sword energy.
Mo Kaiyang's eyes lit up instantly. He had been learning swordsmanship since the first day he arrived in this world, but he had never officially competed with anyone.
Lin You did not use spiritual power, but only used sword techniques to fight her opponent. Her swordsmanship came from her junior uncle Ye Xinghan. Although he criticized her for being useless when she was learning it, she eventually graduated.
Mo Kaiyang had been self-studying swordsmanship for several months, so he was naturally no match for her. However, the fact that he could hold his own against Lin You for dozens of moves was indeed a testament to his exceptional talent.
After the two fought, Lin You had a new task: to explain the basics of swordsmanship to Mo Kaiyang and to teach him moves.
Fortunately, with the support of the Golden Finger Mall, they not only had plenty of meals every day, but their tent was also like a Mongolian yurt, so they didn't suffer at all.
While traveling, Lin You practiced her swordsmanship. Looking at the route that was being repeated on the navigation, she had given up all hope for Mo Kaiyang's sense of direction.
Fortunately, although the desert was sparsely populated, it wasn't completely deserted. After wandering around for more than a month, they finally encountered a camel caravan.
"Sister, should we go with them or not?" Mo Kaiyang looked at the camels laden with goods and couldn't tell whether they were going to the oasis or leaving the desert.
"Let's follow. At worst, we'll just go in circles again. We've already circled around enough." After saying that, Lin You disappeared and followed. As for Mo Kaiyang, with his lightness skill, he certainly wouldn't be easily discovered. It was just that hiding was a bit difficult.
The camel caravan didn't move very fast, but the camel bells rang clearly and melodiously, carrying far in the desert. Mo Kaiyang and Lin You followed them for two days and one night before finally finding an oasis.
This was not the oasis where Mo Kaiyang intended to fish, but there were still quite a few martial arts figures around. Lin You did not reveal herself, and only Mo Kaiyang walked on the street.
He was dressed in a large cloak, the hood covering most of his face, and he held a long sword in his hand. He was clearly a member of the martial arts world, and naturally followed most of the martial arts people into a hotel that didn't look very proper.
After all, no hotel waiter carries a meter-long machete and serves drinks and dishes to guests in a menacing manner.
Following the example of most people, Mo Kaiyang ordered a plate of peanuts, a dish of braised tofu, and two ounces of strong liquor.
Sure enough, when the waiter served him the dishes, he was also very fierce, and his movements when putting the wine in the pot were very rough. If the wine pot hadn't had a stopper, it probably would have spilled half of it.
He tasted a peanut; it was fried very crispy, but there was too much salt on it, making it taste extremely salty.
The dried tofu tasted good, but it was too firm. He gnawed on it for a long time and only managed to bite off half a piece. It would be quite suitable as a teething toy, though.
Looking around, the people were taking a sip of wine, a bite of peanuts or dried tofu, and eating very seriously. If you didn't know better, you would think they were attending some kind of food tasting event.
Mo Kaiyang, who neither drank nor ate much, seemed rather out of place among the group.
To avoid looking too out of place, he opened the wine jug next to him. The alcohol content smelled similar to that of baijiu (Chinese liquor). Although he didn't drink baijiu often, he had tried it before.
Mo Kaiyang followed others' example, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. He felt a burning sensation rush from his throat to his stomach, and he couldn't help but cough repeatedly.
The serious atmosphere in the shop was instantly ruined by Mo Kaiyang. Everyone turned to look at him, then whispered a few words before someone coldly asked, "Who are you? Why are you among us?"
Meanwhile, Lin You, who was invisibly hiding, also found out some information and sent a message to Mo Kaiyang at the right time: "The owner of the hotel you went to is the sister of the Right Protector of the Demonic Sect, and the group of people dressed similarly to you are the people of the youngest son of the Seventh Elder of the Demonic Sect."
"This Right Protector got into some trouble a while ago and was punished by their leader. These guys are taking advantage of the situation to come and seize our territory."
After learning what had happened, Mo Kaiyang put down his chopsticks, since the food wasn't very tasty.
He looked at the fierce-looking burly man in front of him and said in an icy voice, "This is a restaurant. I'm drinking and eating here. What's it to you?"
After saying that, he looked everyone in the restaurant up and down, then gave a disdainful snort. His mocking expression instantly drew the hatred level to its highest.
The twenty-odd people in the shop no longer cared that they were there to fight for territory. They grabbed their weapons and smashed them at Mo Kaiyang's neck. Some even attacked his groin. Every move was insidious and deadly.
Lin You watched as he taunted a bunch of monsters, and without even using his weapons, he swiftly and decisively defeated them all.
"Why did you provoke these guys? You won't gain any experience points by fighting monsters here." Lin You looked at the group of guys who weren't even third-rate in the martial arts world. Fighting these kinds of people wouldn't give you any experience points.
"They say if you beat the small fry, the big ones will come. I'm waiting for them to go back and get reinforcements. Then we won't have to keep going around in circles in the desert." With his luck and sense of direction, he probably wouldn't be able to find the Demonic Cult's lair even if he wandered around for another month.
"Stop reading those storybooks, they're affecting your normal way of thinking." Lin You looked at the group of henchmen on the ground. "With the martial arts level you've shown, let alone beating them up, even if you kill a few, it probably won't attract any more people."
Just as Lin You had said, this group of people not only had no intention of calling for reinforcements, but also apologized politely and ordered a table full of fine wine and food for Mo Kaiyang as an apology.
Looking at the table laden with food, Mo Kaiyang had no intention of touching his chopsticks. "What happened to the supposed battle of wits among江湖人 (jianghu people)? So many people look tall and strong, why are they all so cowardly?"
"A battle of egos is for those on the same level as them. You haven't even drawn your sword yet, but you can already take down a group of people. What's the point of fighting for that?"
People in the martial arts world also have brains; they won't go out of their way to seek death.
Mo Kaiyang maintained his aloof demeanor as he left the restaurant, but in his mind he kept talking to Lin You: "What do we do now? Should I go to the Demonic Sect's branch and cause trouble? They haven't provoked me."
The idea of calling directly at someone's door feels a bit off.
Lin You listened to his complaints, smiled, and didn't reply. Anyway, compared to what you did when you got your first title, the rest is nothing.
She changed the subject, saying, "For this fight, how about we come up with a nickname beforehand? Don't you dislike it when other people give you one?"
Mo Kaiyang shook his head, crossed his arms, and looked into the distance with a burning gaze. "This time, I will use the name Mo Kaiyang. I will make my name resound throughout the martial arts world!"
"A very good ideal." Lin You clapped a few times to liven up the atmosphere before continuing, "You are facing east right now, and the headquarters of the Demonic Sect you are looking for should be in our southwest according to the map."
After Lin You finished speaking, she added, "The most powerful swordsman in the martial arts world, Yan Junke, is located in that direction. Are you going to challenge him next?"
Mo Kaiyang quietly changed direction and asked Lin You, "Why don't we just buy a compass? As long as we have a general sense of direction, we'll definitely be able to find the place."
Lin You reminded her, "When we were at the restaurant, I heard the right protector's sister say that their leader shouldn't be at headquarters."
Every year around this time, this mysterious cult leader goes into seclusion in a place no one knows, for at least two months, with no upper limit. I've heard the longest he's ever stayed is... well, if you want to go fishing, this is a great opportunity.
Mo Kaiyang: ………
He's not just wasting his time, coming all this way just to fish. Besides, what kind of fish can't he buy in his cheat store?
Just as Lin You and Mo Kaiyang were discussing whether to pet a large golden shaggy dog first, they turned around and brushed past a man with a gloomy aura and unusually light footsteps.
With that aura and those martial arts skills, even if he's not the leader of the Demonic Sect, he must be a high-ranking member.
Mo Kaiyang simply chased after him, not caring who he was from the Demonic Sect. He had finally caught a master, so he decided to fight him first.
