I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 404 Star Lord's Blessing (36)

"Dear passengers, the Sky Elevator you were waiting for has resumed operation and will start running in one hour. To compensate you for your inconvenience, we have prepared a voucher for 10 yuan off purchases of 5,000 yuan or more. Thank you for using it."

Sitting in the waiting area, Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and sat up, feeling as if he were having a long dream.

Looking around, he found himself back in the waiting area, next to Xu Feng and the others who had woken up together.

As the announcement was made, the passengers in the waiting area began to stir, many of them waking up from their sleep and then preparing to take the elevator.

They appeared suddenly in the waiting area, their luggage still with them, but nearby passengers did not notice their sudden appearance and disappearance, as if the whole thing had never happened.

Scratching his head, Chen Yu felt his body go weak, and it took him a few minutes to gradually return to normal.

He yawned and first checked the headcount to make sure no one was left behind.

Xu Feng is here; the butler is here; Shen Lang is here; Meng Lingyi is here; I am here.

Once he confirmed that everyone had returned, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, only to suddenly feel that everything around him had come to a standstill.

He seemed to be dragged back into a space where some powerful yet gentle being had arrived and was gently observing him.

The other party's presence was so strong that even the air seemed to distort. A large amount of text surged in from all directions, allowing Chen Yu to immediately recognize the other party's identity: Water Virtue Star Lord.

Turning his head toward the place with the strongest presence, Chen Yu discovered that Shen Lang had changed into a temple priest's robe at some point, and his face was covered with a blue mask with the symbol of the Water Deity Star Lord, which resembled flowing water.

The other party's physical body is still Shen Lang, but his inner self has been taken over by another being.

Rubbing his eyes, Chen Yu realized that his restrictions seemed to have been removed, indicating that this was not the upper realm, but a completely new space created by the other party.

After staring at the other person for a while, Chen Yu cautiously asked, "Water Virtue Star Lord?"

"It is indeed I, Shen Lang," Shen Lang nodded with a smile.

In the [Mirror] instance, Chen Yu saw the Water Virtue Star Lord as an extremely gentle and dignified woman. Although it was just a phantom, it still made people feel that this person was very suitable to be a "mother".

Now, although it resides within Shen Lang's body, that gentle feeling still exists, and it's even stronger now.

By channeling his magical power into his Dao heart, Chen Yu suppressed the urge to acknowledge his mother and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what business the Water Virtue Star Lord has with me?"

“You child, you know the answer to that question.” “Shen Lang” laughed. “Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for Chen Yu, I would either have been destroyed or corrupted by demons. There was no third way.”

"It's just a little effort."

“This is no small matter, not something that can be done lightly.” “Shen Lang” laughed. “Renting the server and the Dream Realm to me already cost 600 million. In between, it was thanks to you guys constantly planning events and organizing players to launch counterattacks. If it weren’t for you and your company, I would have already perished.”

"Not at all. It's a little embarrassing to say, but it's all thanks to SeTu. I'll introduce you to that employee later, and you can express your gratitude to her. And after you thank her, you don't need to thank me."

After all, the Star Lord's gratitude was worth more than two million magic power. Although I can afford it now, I will avoid eating it if I can.

Strangely, after Chen Yu finished speaking, "Shen Lang" under the mask actually showed an embarrassed expression.

"Well, we'll talk about that later. I'll thank her separately. You deserve immense credit for the previous operation, and a proper reward is essential. First of all, this is my blessing to you." With a gentle touch, Chen Yu felt something flow into his body, becoming part of his own power.

The self-healing ability began to strengthen, and the original level nine self-healing began to change, and then moved towards the perfect level.

After mastering this skill, Chen Yu felt that his understanding of his own body had reached a whole new level.

The essence of self-healing unfolded before him, causing a flood of related knowledge to enter his mind and transform into a new minor supernatural power within his body: [Unyielding].

With this supernatural ability, as long as he doesn't bleed to death, Chen Yu can keep fighting. His physical abilities will not fluctuate by more than 20%, allowing him to protect himself even when he is seriously injured.

Having understood the significance of this minor supernatural power, Chen Yu felt that it was somewhat like a health bar in a game.

As long as the health bar doesn't reach zero, the character will always have combat power.

In addition, Chen Yu also saw that he had gained another title: "The Wise Man Enjoys Water".

This title boosted his spiritual root score by 1 point, bringing it to an impressive 96 points.

After the title was activated, Chen Yu felt that the magic system in his body became 30% more active. The magic could penetrate into every corner of his body almost effortlessly, making him more adept at using magic.

However, this title skill has both active and passive characteristics: [Water Control].

Under the influence of this title, all water-related spells cannot harm him; instead, they will heal his physical wounds.

He makes boiled water taste better, instant noodles taste better, and he can even mix cooled boiled water with plain boiled water to make his signature dish. He can definitely amaze everyone when necessary.

When used actively, he can mold water into a specified shape and then make the water move according to his wishes.

If combined with his own magic [Illusion], he could probably create some amazing effects.

After carefully studying the effects of this skill, Chen Yu discovered that it was incredibly powerful.

This skill is both offensive and defensive, and it is extremely useful in both fighting and daily life. It truly deserves to be called the most practical Water Deity.

After thanking him again, Water Deity waved his hand with a smile and said sincerely, "I am the one who should be thanking you, Chen Yu. I will remember this kindness. I will help Tianyuan travel around and try to block the visual and air bans that have just been issued. If they cannot be blocked, I will also help find a way to make them ineffective as much as possible."

"That's great. I thought many people couldn't take the college entrance exam because they weren't qualified, but it turns out they weren't getting enough oxygen. If this ban could be lifted, it would definitely help a lot of people."

"Okay. Thank you again. I wish you all the best in the new semester. Goodbye."

Then, Chen Yu sensed that the other party's aura had disappeared, and Shen Lang, who had just left, had returned.

Turning around, Chen Yu noticed that the others also seemed to be deep in thought, probably because they had all just met with the Water Deity Star Lord and received his thanks.

Without asking what the others had gained, Chen Yu saw that it was almost time, so he called Meng Lingyi over, said goodbye to Xu Feng and Shen Lang, and then entered the Sky Elevator.

After sitting down in his seat, Chen Yu took out his phone before the elevator started moving to check on the follow-up situation.
