Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 224 Nan Yufeng, Sect Master of the Qingshui Sect (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The students present were in an uproar.

What is this stuff?
Wasn't the purpose of the Pioneer Academy to earn travel coins to pay off loans?

What does "unpaid" mean?
You should know that everyone who gets to come to the Pioneer Academy is burdened with huge loans.
If it weren't for earning luck coins, who would come to this damn place?

"Application for Unpaid Work"

"Respected school leaders."

"I am extremely interested in the job openings offered by your esteemed school, and I am seeking to gain more work experience through self-improvement."

"I hereby apply to work at your esteemed school from [Date] on an unpaid research and observation basis. During this period, I am willing to abide by all the rules and regulations of your esteemed school and accept any work assignments."

"If an illness is caused by the individual's own health problems, the individual shall bear the cost of treatment. In the event of disability or other unforeseen events, the individual shall bear the responsibility."

"All gains from this endeavor will be voluntarily handed over to your esteemed school..."

"..."

"applicant:__"

"Year__Month__Day"

A new student immediately retorted angrily, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Utterly absurd! We're here to earn coins to pay off our loans, not to work for free!"

Another student said, "That's right! This is absurd! If the Pioneers Academy is like the other academies, then what are we doing here? This is fraud, this is fraud!"

The uproar did not lead to the teacher's compromise.

He just watched coldly, just like the other senior students.

Until the voices of these newcomers quieted down a bit.

He then said, "Have you made enough of a scene? If you have, get back to work."

"The Heavenly Court's resources are limited."

“You useless people were never going to be able to pay off your loans anyway.”

"The Heavenly Court has given you blessings, yet you still complain and are picky. You really don't know how to be grateful!"

“They are all heartless, shameless scoundrels who have fallen into the trap of greed.”

"However, Heaven is merciful."

"No matter how immoral you are, the Heavenly Court will give you a chance."

One student asked, "What will happen if I don't sign?"

The teacher said calmly, "Given your inability to repay the loan, we have no choice but to withdraw it."

Withdrawal of loan, early repayment of loan.

The Immortal Ruins world is like hell.

How can that work?
The suffering in hell is a million times greater than that in the human world; if you were to actually go to hell, it would be better to stay in the human world.

But the students still refused to sign.

One student said indignantly, "No salary, no way to repay the loan, we're all going to die anyway. What's the difference between dying sooner or later? I won't sign this application!"

Yes.

There wasn't even any profit to be made.

How can you expect someone to keep working if you're pushing them to the brink of death?

Just as the silence was falling, Nan Qiaoqiao suddenly noticed that Lin Xiaoluo was using her magic to write something on the white paper with a "swish swish swish" sound.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Big sister, you actually signed it?"

Lin Xiaoluo finished writing the last word with a flourish, and the application form floated back into the teacher's hands: "Why not sign it? I think this is quite reasonable."

"Human potential is limitless."

"Without pressure, where does motivation come from?"

"Based on the 'stress-dynamic threshold model' in the paper 'Research on the Influence Mechanism of Stress on Personal Fortune Fluctuations - An Empirical Analysis Based on Psychological Resilience and Decision Bias'."

"Gas transport is more likely to experience benign fluctuations when it is under critical pressure levels for a long period of time."

“I understand why the college doesn’t pay us.”

"It's all to activate the luck of us useless people and give us a bright future."

The freshmen were taken aback by Lin Xiaoluo's words, while the teacher laughed and said, "You're right, that's exactly the point."

"But no one here can see through this simple truth, which is a great disappointment to the teacher."

"It seems you are all people who lack any understanding."

One student immediately shouted, "Scab! Scoundrel!"

Lin Xiaoluo, of course, ignored her and said to Nan Qiaoqiao, "Hurry up and sign it, or what do you want to do?"

Nan Qiaoqiao looked doubtful: "Big sister, is that really true?"

Lin Xiaoluo said, "Would I lie to you?"

After thinking about it, Nan Qiaoqiao signed the "Application for Unpaid Work".

From then on, there was one, two, and three more, and all the new students were forced to write applications.

After all, every extra day you can live is a day more.

However, as the first applicant.

The other freshmen looked at Lin Xiaoluo with eyes full of rejection.

Surprisingly, even the senior students didn't like Lin Xiaoluo.

The teacher smiled but didn't show much favor to Lin Xiaoluo.

So much so that only Nan Qiaoqiao stayed by her side.

Lin Xiaolu looked completely indifferent.

They didn't care at all.

The teacher said, "Alright, everyone has filled out their applications and passed the Heavenly Dao certification of the Immortal Ruins World."

"Now let's kill this chaos."

"Based on the investigation."

"In this small world formed from chaos, there is a small sect called the Clear Water Sect."

"The sect leader is named Nan Yufeng."

"Your mission will be complete once you kill Nan Yufeng."

Nan Qiaoqiao trembled upon hearing this.

Lin Xiaolu asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you regretting what happened earlier? You signed a contract with me, you can't betray me."

"But don't worry, I'm a responsible person."

"I will protect your life."

Nan Qiaoqiao said irritably, "If you want to protect my life, don't be so reckless."

Lin Xiaolu couldn't tell her that she had the "Heavenly Mandate Great Dao Scripture," so she could only say, "Then next time you stay far away and let me go."

Nan Qiaoqiao: "You'll die!"

Lin Xiaoluo: "No, I won't die."

……

Next came the preparations for battle. This was in a small world where the cultivators were clearly stronger than them.

Destroying the Shimizu Clan is not that simple.

Based on the experience within the college.

They either need to leverage local strength to form alliances, or they need to improve their strength according to the rules of this world.

Being ostracized, Lin Xiaoluo could only move forward together with Nan Qiaoqiao.

"It feels so nostalgic."

Stepping into this city, Lin Xiaoluo's face showed a hint of nostalgia.

Despite being an ordinary city, most of the residents who passed by were covered in dust and dirt, dressed in coarse linen, and malnourished.

But there is mental and physical oppression here.

It's much easier than the omnipresent oppression in the Immortal Ruins world.

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "Big sister, you've been here before, why do you feel nostalgic?"

Lin Xiaolu looked at the town called Beixin Town: "Of course I've never been here before. But don't you think this world is very leisurely?"

"If I could live in this world."

"I figured nobody wanted to go back to the Immortal Ruins world."

Nan Qiaoqiao nodded: "That's true. But if that's the case, why did you sign that application first, eldest sister?"

Lin Xiaolu chuckled: "I thought you could hold back from asking."

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "I wasn't holding back, I was just curious about what my older sister was thinking."

Lin Xiaolu said quietly, "You don't actually think that the teacher will let us off the hook if we don't submit an application, do you?"

Nan Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and whispered, "The Immortal Ruins world has order; at the very least, you can't kill people. Even immortals can't kill people directly."

Lin Xiaolu said with exasperation, "When I took you in as my underling, you were so shrewd. How come you're so stupid now?"

"It's true that you can't kill in the Immortal Ruins World, but I can force you to commit suicide."

"And in this chaotic world, who knows if the laws of the Immortal Ruins world are even valid?"

"Even without directly taking action, we can use the enemy to kill you."

"Think about it, didn't any of those indifferent senior students apply?"

"You can't go back if you don't apply."

"The other freshmen understand these principles too, but they just don't want to be the first to step forward."

Nan Qiaoqiao asked, "But eldest sister, why did you have to be the first to step forward?"

"The first consequence of you standing up for yourself is that we will all be isolated."

Lin Xiaolu immediately understood that Nan Qiaoqiao wasn't unaware of this principle, but rather that she was worried about her safety: "Nan Qiaoqiao, I will protect you."

Nan Qiaoqiao: "Big sister, protecting me is the responsibility of the contract I signed with you. I'm asking you why you filled out the application first."

Lin Xiaolu paused for a moment before saying, "Because I won't die."

“People will despise a traitor and will not accept him, whether he is on the enemy’s or one’s own side.”

"But humans have never been rational beings."

"Even though people understand this principle, they still develop prejudices."

"This is a dangerous decision for others."

"But for me, I will not die."

Nan Qiaoqiao: "Sister Lin, you are so kind."

Lin Xiaolu frowned: "Nan Qiaoqiao, are you being sarcastic? I already said I would protect you, just believe me."

Nan Qiaoqiao shook her head: "No, Sister Lin, you are just kind. That's why I call you Sister Lin."

Lin Xiaolu asked, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "When have I ever been afraid of death?"

Lin Xiaoluo said, "It's about when you were at the Pioneer Academy, trying to get close to me."

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "Because you are really a big shot. Would I be a fool not to hug you? I wouldn't hug anyone else even if they begged me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoluo immediately felt a little smug. She didn't know if Nan Qiaoqiao was sincere or not. In the world of immortal ruins, the alienation of people made flattery a normal behavior, so it was really hard to tell.

"Then why did you run so fast at the beginning?"

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "I'm not really stupid. Why wouldn't I run when I should have?"

"Sister Lin, what do you think of the Immortal Ruins World?"

In the Immortal Ruins world, it seems that because it can monitor everyone's fortune, there is no concept of being punished for one's words.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoluo said frankly, "It's not good, the problem is too big, but after all, it's the world we came from."

"We can't live without it."

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "So if you had a chance to change the world, would you want to change it? Even if that chance would lead the world to the unknown, perhaps for better or perhaps for worse."

"Do you want to change it?"

How could there possibly be a chance to change it?
The world of Immortal Ruins is indeed inhabited by "immortals".

and many more!

Lin Xiaoluo instantly became alert; she thought of a possibility.

That's a scam.

It is said that smugglers use some kind of empty and grandiose belief to commit fraud and develop their downlines.

Lin Xiaoluo immediately said seriously, "Nan Qiaoqiao, tell me honestly, are you a thief? Are you planning something bad by staying by my side?"

Holding Nan Qiaoqiao's contract in her hands, and with her lifespan fixed for a year, Lin Xiaoluo spoke frankly.

Nan Qiaoqiao shook her head: "Sister Lin, how could that be? People should have dreams. If even the right to dream is taken away, how tragic would this world be?"

Lin Xiaoluo remained cautious, saying, "Dreaming is fine, but developing a downline is not."

Nan Qiaoqiao asked, "Can Sister Lin answer my question?"

Lin Xiaoluo said, "It definitely needs to change!"

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "Even if it gets worse?"

Lin Xiaoluo said, "How can things get better if we don't try to change them? If we do nothing just because things might get worse, will the bad things just continue?"

"If you can't see a future, don't do it."

"Then there will never be a future."

Nan Qiaoqiao said, "But what if we already know the future? I mean, we can foresee the future."

Lin Xiaoluo said, "Then let's change the past."

"No! It should be about changing the present."

"Knowing the future means changing your current behavior."

"Let's go! We're going to kill Nan Yufeng, the sect leader of the Qingshui Sect!"

Nan Qiaoqiao: "Huh?"
