Chapter 312 The Virtuous Empress Used as Cannon Fodder (The End) This...
This world is the seventh mission Xiaotiandao has undertaken, including two missions that failed, where he didn't earn a single point and even had to pay out of pocket.
When he first came into this world, he only had a little over six hundred points saved up.
Later, because I helped this world transform, I spent half of it on props. I didn't dare spend the remaining 300-plus, just in case something unexpected happened and I needed it in an emergency.
According to Lin You's terms, the previous salary would have been worth over 10,000 points. The compensation, while not in points, would be better with items, which would be useful for future tasks. The savings would be points.
Not to mention that after the world completes its transformation, there will be a large amount of merit as a reward, which is probably more than all the wages combined.
Once he gets paid, he can buy food and drinks in the system's shop and will no longer have to calculate whether eating a meal in the human world will affect his karma.
There are games to play, dramas to binge-watch, takeout to order, and online chat partners to gossip with. Most importantly, there's a monthly salary equivalent to ten years' worth of my previous income.
When there's no salary, these days are called torture; when there's money, it's called paid leave. All things considered, his shift is actually quite enjoyable.
As Lin You listened to his rambling, she silently recommended another talkative colleague to him. This whole mess was caused by headquarters, and as the person in charge of handling the aftermath, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to offer some emotional support to the victims.
"This is our company's most enthusiastic senior colleague. He's very knowledgeable, always ready to answer any questions or help anyone. Whether it's something serious or not, you can talk to him about it." After introducing him, Lin You even sent a screenshot to Xiao You to help him maintain his persona.
Anyway, Xiao You is just like Xiao Tiandao, always sending me long messages whether there's something to say or not. Maybe I can have a better chat with Xiao Tiandao.
When they're not busy, the two chatterboxes can chat together. When something happens, they can handle it on the spot. And if Xiao You can't handle something, A Piao can always come to the rescue. It's definitely more convenient and faster than asking Xiao You himself.
In the headquarters office, Xiao You was sorting out various loopholes left by the palace. After receiving a friend request, he accepted it without even checking who it was.
Anyway, the only friends I could recommend to him were my own friends. After not checking the chat page for a while, I opened it again and found that I had received 99+ messages.
Looking at the persona Lin You had created for herself, Xiao You wiped her face, resignedly opened the chat page, switched to customer service and chat companion mode, and started working overtime for free.
For someone like Xiaotiandao, who could maintain a small, transforming world for over a hundred years even after losing contact with the company, having a good relationship with him would naturally be beneficial in every way.
Putting aside the fact that he will surely receive a large amount of merit and rewards in the future, the fact that he can still stay true to himself after being freed from constraints makes him a person worth befriending.
After the events at the palace, the company shifted its focus in evaluating employees from ability to character. As long as this person stays true to their original aspirations, they will eventually have a place in the headquarters office.
After acting as a go-between for the two chatterboxes, Lin You's chat interface finally quieted down considerably, giving her time to think about what to leave for Ye Yunhua.
The world map of Little Heavenly Path is very detailed. It marks both dangerous and fun places in great detail, so Ye Yunhua can definitely explore it if she wants.
With her money-spending cheat code, Ye Yunhua will never have to worry about money in her life. Whatever she wants to do in the future, she will have a much easier time with sufficient financial support.
Ye Yunhua's martial arts skills are now among the best in the world, and Lin You has also given her a protective jade talisman and various pills that ordinary people can use, so her safety is very well guaranteed.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Lin You doesn't need to worry about anything anymore. But among all the mission targets she's encountered, Ye Yunhua is the one she's most worried about. Lin You just wishes she could consider things more comprehensively.
Ye Yunhua shares the same idea. Due to her upbringing, Ye Yunhua is more sensitive to people's emotions.
In other words, although Lin You had tried very hard to hide it, Ye Yunhua still felt that Lin You had chosen to stay for her sake and had given up something.
That choice wasn't for her so-called perfect merit, but entirely because of myself, because I was worried about her condition.
This was a very strange feeling for Ye Yunhua, who had always been ignored, unlike Ye Yi'an, who was close to her out of gratitude.
There really are people in this world who, without any reason or condition, simply out of worry, quietly choose themselves.
Just when Lin You thought that Ye Yunhua would spend the next ten days or so just like before, spending money to experience various pleasures in life in order to complete tasks, Ye Yunhua had already found the most spiritually powerful dojo in the vicinity based on the map she gave her.
The amount of money in the "Golden Finger" account increases every day, and it has now reached several hundred taels. The tasks are the same, as long as I can get happiness while spending money.
With the silver provided by his spendthrift cheat code, Ye Yunhua managed to blend into a group of young Taoist priests in just three days and listen to the old Taoist masters preach.
After all, Taoist priests also need to eat. One hundred taels of silver is enough for the entire temple to eat and drink for a year. If someone is willing to spend several hundred taels of silver every day just to be an auditor and attend a few classes, why would anyone disagree?
Enlightenment is something that always depends on chance. Ye Yunhua was a candidate for the Heavenly Dao, and when she seriously came into contact with these things, her comprehension was far better than that of others.
Of course, Ye Yunhua herself is not aware of these things yet; she is simply trying her best to understand what Lin You is talking about regarding cultivation and attempting to find some information that may be useful to Lin You.
Having found a chat partner with whom he could talk about anything, Xiao Tiandao was prepared for a long-term job. After all, Ye Yunhua's luck had almost dissipated from the moment she decided to give up her life.
It's unclear how long it will take for a new candidate for the Heavenly Dao to be born, but fortunately, his salary from over a hundred years ago has been paid back, and the new salary is thoughtfully paid monthly, giving him a maximum sense of security and happiness.
The now wealthy and powerful Xiao Tiandao was discussing with Xiao You what to buy to thank Lin You for her great help when he suddenly sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dao's rules.
Following the aura, it was discovered that the aura of rules emanating from Ye Yunhua was becoming increasingly dense, even more so than before.
The Little Heavenly Dao calculated the cause and effect, and concluded that it was indeed the result of Lin You's influence. If she continued to develop in this way, the possibility of her becoming the new Heavenly Dao was still very high.
Xiao Tiandao couldn't help but share this good news with his only two chat partners. In addition to receiving congratulations from Xiao You, he also received care from Lin You.
There was a whole stack of books about cultivation and array formation, with detailed notes on every step. They even prepared the materials for setting up the array and added a note: "Feel free to ask if you have any questions."
It's thoughtful, but it feels like giving a high school student a gift. He finally got back to a normal life of slacking off, but after just five days of gaming, his good days are gone forever.
After letting out a couple of coquettish whimpers into Lin You's chat window, Xiao Tiandao began his cultivation journey with seriousness.
During this time, he didn't forget to show off to another chat partner, and then Xiaoyou taught him a lesson.
[You don't actually think Youyou taught you cultivation just to take care of you, do you? Think about when she started teaching you, and what kind of formation she gave you.]
Little Heavenly Dao gazed into deep thought at the various formations used to enhance the spiritual energy, improve defense, and strengthen the stability of the small world.
So the big boss is just paving the way for the target and using me as a tool? I know you two are close, but you met each other at the same time. Isn't this a bit too much of a difference?
Perhaps because he had been suppressed for over a hundred years, and because Lin You was the first person he could chat with freely, Xiao Tiandao, after listening to Xiao You's account of Lin You's indulgence and care for his mission targets, went straight to Lin You to lodge a pitiful complaint.
[Youyou, we've known each other for about the same amount of time, and we get along even better. You came to this world to do missions, so I'm practically one of your mission targets, right? I'm not saying this out of envy, but can we please not be so different?]
Xiao Tiandao's voice carried a deliberate air of resentment and a hint of manipulative sarcasm, along with a faint, barely suppressed laugh. It was clear he was bored and had come to tease Lin You.
Lin You was familiar with this. If students had time to cause trouble, it was definitely because they weren't given enough homework. Little Heavenly Dao had just complained that he was only learning formations to maintain the small world, so he decided to assign more homework.
After successfully receiving ten times the amount of homework and reserving homework for the next thirty years, Xiao Tiandao instantly stopped being cheerful. Even when he tried to brag to Xiao You, his tone was listless. He didn't even have time to agree when Xiao You invited him to play games on two computers.
When Lin You was in the apocalypse, the little Heavenly Dao there was a thrifty and hoarding person who liked to take home anything he came across. Later, he gave all the things he didn't need to Lin You.
These things are not ordinary items, since they were picked up and taken home by a minor Heavenly Dao. Most of them are items used to maintain or improve the minor world.
After removing the spiritual energy that Lin You's space needs and the supernatural elements that the ghosts need, there are still quite a few other things left.
Lin You first picked out some materials that she thought could be used in this small world, then took them to A Piao for reference, and selected three materials that were most suitable for this small world. She then placed them in the appropriate locations in this world according to the formation's trajectory.
With these materials, the transformation of the small world will be smoother, and it will be easier for Ye Yunhua to truly become the Lesser Heavenly Dao in the future.
Time always flies when you're busy. By the time Ye Yunhua's lecture notes were stacked up to half a meter high, and Lin You had placed the three items in the right positions and set up the protective array, the task notification sound from the cheat code rang out.
[Ding! System Lin You's cheat code test has been perfectly completed.]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have received a special reward: Mystery Treasure Chest x1]
[Ding! System Lin You's results: 1000 points, 1000 experience points. Congratulations on completing the task! Keep up the good work!]
[Ding! System Lin You is about to leave. 24-hour countdown. Please prepare.]
Since it was the simplest task, the points and experience points weren't high, so Lin You didn't care about them. But why was Ye Yunhua still assigning her homework when she was about to leave?
"Youyou, these are my notes on enlightenment. The Tao follows the natural way. I hope that the Tao I see from my perspective can offer some inspiration for your cultivation." Ye Yunhua handed Lin You a thick stack of notes, still smelling of ink.
To be honest, the last time Lin You received this kind of paper homework was the college entrance exam papers from the 35th grade. But who wouldn't like this feeling of being valued?
While doing her homework, she kept watching Lin You's little Heavenly Dao. She tried to hold back, but couldn't resist and chatted with her friend Xiao You about the topic of "the cycle of karma".
Seeing that he hadn't noticed the crucial information, Xiao You couldn't help but remind him, "You're chatting with Youyou right now because of your identity as Xiao Tiandao and the title she wears. You two haven't even become friends yet. Once she leaves, you won't be able to contact her anymore!"
Lin You had just put the thick stack of homework into her space when she pulled Ye Yunhua to prepare various things she would need in the future, from snacks from another world to pills and talismans that Lin You made herself.
I was only halfway through preparing when I was bombarded with messages from Xiaotiandao:
[Hey bro, I need to add you as a friend!]
Hey bro, do you think my posture when I'm clinging to someone's leg is pretty good?
[Yoyo, with our close relationship, it's really inappropriate not to have each other's names on our contact lists!]
[Baby, don't you love me anymore? Why are you teasing me? We haven't established a long-term connection.]
Master, you said you would continue to assign me homework and teach me cultivation, how can we not add each other in private messages?
【My name is Gu Shi. Youyou doesn't like me. It must be because I'm not good enough. I'm not sad at all. As long as you can remember my name, that's enough. Waaah~】
………
Lin You only exchanged a few words with Ye Yunhua, and then received dozens of messages. Sure enough, it's not all bad to have a chatterbox mentor a newcomer. The original Xiao Tiandao wasn't this crazy. It's obvious that he was corrupted by Xiao You.
After adding Xiaotiandao as a friend and having Ye Yunhua write the message board, Lin You suddenly asked Gu Shi, "The cheat code that Ye Yunhua is using is actually yours, isn't it?"
Compared to previous cheat codes, this cheat code is much more casual, with both the tasks and rewards being far too simple.
Most importantly, while other cheat codes might yield some faith points or merit points, this one doesn't generate any profit whatsoever; it's as if it's just there to please Ye Yunhua.
Gu Shi, who is usually very talkative, was unusually silent for a while before admitting that although he never regretted interfering with Ye Yunhua's karma, he still felt sorry for her.
He bought this cheat code template from the system store; even though it was the cheapest one, it still cost him fifty points.
For Gu Shi, who only had a little over 300 points left and was reluctant to spend even one point on snacks in the system shop, 50 points were already very precious.
"Gu Shi, it's not your fault. You've done very well. Take care. I'll be waiting for you at headquarters." Lin You offered a few words of sincere comfort before choosing to leave the current world.
Gu Shi, who had seemed unreliable all along, responded softly after she had been gone for a while, and solemnly assured her, "I will take good care of Ye Yunhua."
This time, it's not about the identity of a candidate for Heavenly Dao.
