On the way, Wei Dafa suddenly received a phone call saying that there was some trouble at the construction site of the "ghost building"—the excavator kept stalling, and several buildings couldn't be demolished. Wei Dafa got angry on the phone, saying what did this have to do with him, since he had a contract with the construction company.
Even if you can't demolish an entire building, it's fine; just wait to lose money.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Wang Yao. He wondered if it was the female ghost Lin Yazhi causing trouble. If it was her, he would have to talk to her. People were building houses properly, and she was causing trouble. Everyone had a family to support, so there was no need for her to harm people.
The two got out of the car and arrived at Hua Tuo's house. They found Ke Ke chatting with Hua Tuo. When they saw Wang Yao arrive, Ke Ke smiled and stood up.
"Little Wang, come here. The Heavenly Court has given you a merit reward of 10,000 points. For a newly promoted immortal like you, this reward is quite substantial. I am here to present this reward on behalf of the Heavenly Court. I hope you will appreciate the Heavenly Court's care, continue your efforts, and make new contributions."
As Ke Ke spoke, he lightly tapped Wang Yao's forehead with his finger.
"Oh dear, I didn't know the section chief was waiting for me. I... I've been preparing to go out and complete the mission, which has made me late..." Wang Yao hurriedly apologized to Ke Ke. "Hua Gu should have called me."
"I told him not to hit him. Our organization department is here to serve you, no rush." Ke Ke smiled and patted Wang Yao on the shoulder. "Work hard, I think you'll be promoted soon."
Wang Yao thanked him, and Ke Ke started to walk out, but stopped at the door.
"Well, when I came here, Lu Xian asked me to give you a message: Although Xi Fu is a wanted criminal by the Heavenly Court, it is too dangerous for one person to arrest him. In the future, if you encounter such a thing, it is best to report to the office and let the organization intervene. It will be much safer."
"Yes, yes, I understand." Wang Yao nodded repeatedly.
“Although the office will take a portion of the merit, life is more important than merit, don’t you think?” Ke Ke smiled and looked at Wang Yao.
Wang Yao agreed and saw Ke Ke off, while Hua Tuo chuckled behind his back.
“You arrested Xi Fu without authorization, and the office is not happy about it.”
“I… I didn’t really want to catch him…” Wang Yao was stunned.
“I know you didn’t arrest Xi Fu. This old bastard was the one who rushed to give you a favor. But the office and the patrol generals don’t know that. You bypassed the office and did things for the patrol generals. Lu Xian is jealous. Otherwise, what would it mean if he had Ke Ke tell you those things?”
Hua Tuo said with a smile.
"What... what if Lü Xian targets me again?" Wang Yao asked nervously.
"Probably not. You've made a name for yourself in Heaven by capturing Xi Fu. Who is Xi Fu? He used to be someone who could make even the Jade Emperor's palace tremble. Now that you've captured him, you're at the height of your fame. Even if Lü Xian is confused, he wouldn't make things difficult for you at this time. Maybe..."
"Is it true that Ke Ke said he'd promote you? Once you reach a higher level, I reckon you'll be a deputy section chief no problem. Anyway, there are just empty positions in your marriage management department, so why not bring it up?" Hua Gu shook his head and laughed.
"Stop making fun of me. I've been feeling uneasy about Xi Da Zuiba's matter." Wang Yao shook his head and slowly sat down in the room.
“You don’t need to feel guilty. I’ve taken Lao Xi’s pulse. He really had no choice. He was on the run and his body couldn’t take it. He ended up in the prison. The higher-ups want to interrogate him, so they have to heal his body first. That way, he can save his life. Lao Xi saved himself.”
Hua Tuo nodded, comforting Wang Yao while asking curiously.
"So? You've earned 10,000 merit points. Can you level up?"
"Level one, it should be more than that, right?" Wang Yao blinked, his mind immersing in the system. He heard the system being summoned again with a "click-click-click" sound.
"The host's current system level is 6, and merit points require 0 points to advance to the next level. Skill level is 3, skill points are 1030, and skill points require 370 points to advance to the next level."
"Spiritual power level 12, mid-stage Qi Refining. Spiritual power value, requires some spiritual power to advance to the next level. Magic weapon level 12, mana value, requires 0 mana value to advance to the next level."
Wang Yao leveled up quickly, gaining 96 merit points from level 6 to level 7, 192 merit points from level 7 to level 8, 384 merit points from level 8 to level 9, and so on until he reached level 12. He still had 3990 merit points left, but leveling up required 6144 merit points, so he could not level up any further.
After the system upgrade was completed, Wang Yao planned to go to the South Heavenly Gate to absorb spiritual energy.
"I've leveled up 6 times, hehehe... Um... Hua Gu, I need to trouble you with something." Wang Yao smiled as he looked at Hua Tuo.
"The moment you give me that look, I know it's nothing good. I hate trouble, so if you're going to bother me, you'd better keep quiet." Hua Gu hurriedly shook his head.
“Good news, my system level has been upgraded. Don’t I still need to go to Nantianmen? Huishuo over here…” Wang Yao said, looking at Hua Tuo.
"What's wrong with me?" Hui Shuo, who had been following Wang Yao and had been mostly silent, finally spoke up when Wang Yao mentioned him.
“I’m going to the Immortal Realm, you can’t go. I’d like to ask Hua Gu to take care of you,” Wang Yao said to Hui Shuo.
"Why can't I go?" Hui Shuo asked, frowning.
“That place and this place are not the same world. It’s like asking you to crawl into a TV screen. Can you even fit inside?” Wang Yao said, glaring at him.
"Then how did you get in?" Hui Shuo asked, puzzled.
“I…I’m different from you…I paid the money,” Wang Yao stammered as he explained.
