Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 152 A New Way to Understand Flags

"My body has become elementalized."

"What you see of me is just a human-shaped bolt of lightning."

"I have no taste buds, so I can't taste anything."

"Without a digestive system, it cannot absorb nutrients."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth to show Wu Yun.

Sure enough, blue lightning flashed from his mouth, revealing no trace of flesh!
"Don't waste this good meal, you all eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen minks looked at Wu Yun.

Wu Yun hadn't expected this, and frowned slightly.

"All right……"

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen minks stood up from their chairs and began shoveling food into their bowls like a whirlwind, then eating it in big mouthfuls!
The sound of slurping up pickled radish and old duck soup...

The crunching sound of chewing on a crispy baked bun...

There are also stewed ribs that are so tender they're practically falling apart; you suck on them and spit out a bone...

There were also patterned baked pies; you could break them open with a snap and find steaming hot fennel and meat filling inside…

Lei Chi, a ninth-rank official, swallowed hard, feeling even more depressed.

He just can't eat.

But he still craves it!

I was just craving mutton soup, but then I was invited to watch a live food show online, which made me even more hungry!

Fortunately, Wu Yun, who was sitting across the table, didn't eat, but instead kept him company and talked.

"You...don't you need to eat?"

Lei Chi, a ninth-rank official, nodded.

"The Leichi pathway is very special."

"We, the ninth-rank officials who pass through Leichi, are actually just lowly clerks cleaning up the silt in Leichi."

"A low-ranking official in charge of dredging, of the ninth grade, can only clean outside the Thunder Pool."

"The authority they are equipped with is a small bronze fish amulet, which can absorb the lightning overflowing from the Thunder Pool and ensure their personal safety."

“A high-ranking clerk like myself, a ninth-rank official, is allowed to enter the outermost edge of the Thunder Pool.”

"To prevent being struck by lightning and swallowed by the lightning pool, the body has been completely transformed into lightning element, and there is no longer a need for eating, drinking, or defecating."

Across the table, Wu Yun nodded.

It turns out that the arrogant Thunder Pool Immortal Official was just a minor official cleaning up silt.

However, to be fair, the platform of Leichi is indeed frighteningly high; even a minor official who clears silt has the rank of a ninth-grade official.

Why don't you join the Unnatural Bureau?

"Hehe, my body has become elementalized. I don't need to eat, drink, or relieve myself. I don't need to spend money. There's no need for me to join."

"And what about you? Why don't you join?"

"I'm not short of money. I have more money than I can spend. I don't need a salary, and there's no need for me to join."

The ninth-rank cultivator who had passed through the Thunder Pool fell silent once again.

……

The night deepened.

In Donghu City, the lights are no longer on on many streets, turning them into ghost streets every night.

In an abandoned hotel.

Three young men were hiding in a windowless room, using their cell phones to illuminate the peach oral liquid they had just received from the ghostly deliveryman.

"Holy crap, it's pink, it looks delicious!"

"Drinking this will greatly increase your cultivation level, right?"

"That depends on talent."

"This trip was definitely worth it."

"I heard that after it's all done, each person will get five vials of oral liquid?"

They were all celestial officials from the Mengjia Academy along the Yinshan Pass.

The biggest takeaway from this trip to East Lake wasn't this oral liquid.

It was the second brass flower button on their hats!

That's the floral pattern of the Yinshan array.

Anyone from the Mengjia Academy who is willing to participate in the operation at Donghu will receive a ninth-rank Yinshan Array Master!

The young man took off his hat, revealing the new copper flower button of the Mosuo people.

"Speaking of which, we've been fortunate to live in a good era. If we were in the Immortal Realm, what right would people like us have to attain even two ranks?"

"It would be good enough if we could even get one."

"It's perfectly normal if you can't make it at all."

They all chuckled.

"Coming to East Lake is actually quite dangerous, isn't it?"

"That high-ranking celestial official who traveled through East Lake is quite ruthless."

Despite their complaints, they weren't actually that scared.

It's not just the three of them.

All three hundred disciples of the Mengjia Academy have come to East Lake!

After all, once you come, you'll get a spot; who could resist coming?
Moreover, all three hundred disciples of the Mengjia Academy have come. Even if that ninth-rank Biaoyun is fierce, can he kill them all?
……

Blah blah blah...

Heavy rain fell in the empty alley.

The roofs of the houses on both sides of the alley have partially collapsed and have been designated as dangerous buildings; they have long been uninhabited.

Inside a dilapidated house, a young woman tore open a can of meat and offered it to the three-eyed demon she was worshipping.

"Eat quickly."

The three-eyed dog devoured its food.

The young woman hugged her knees, looking at the third eye on the three-eyed dog's forehead, feeling very proud.

Everyone who comes to East Lake for this event is guaranteed a drop of dragon's blood!

She has already received half a drop of water since she came to Donghu to register.

This three-eyed dog was originally no different from an ordinary golden retriever, and even a bit silly, except that it had a vertical line between its eyebrows and a celestial official's hat on its head, but otherwise it was nothing special.

After swallowing half a drop of dragon blood, its third eye on its forehead actually opened!

Although it seems like there are still some cataracts at the moment, once the matter is completed and the remaining half drop of dragon blood is received, the eyes should be able to open completely.

"I've heard that in the Immortal Realm, dragon blood is priceless."

Even the eighth-rank and seventh-rank immortal officials of the demon race cannot easily obtain a single drop of dragon blood.

"We were able to obtain dragon blood, which means we've benefited from the era's dividends."

Suddenly, the little worm in her ear made a sound.

"Is there anyone else who can contact the demon fairy friend?"

"Those who want dragon blood, come to East Lake immediately."

"Of the three hundred drops of dragon blood, two hundred have already been given out, leaving one hundred spots remaining."

The young woman had a strange expression.

"Three hundred drops of dragon blood?"

Why are there so many?
"Was this dragon stabbed?"

……

The surface of the dark cloud.

A table full of delicious food was devoured by more than a dozen minks in a whirlwind.

A dozen or so minks lay comfortably on the chair, some rubbing their bellies, others savoring the taste of their food.

Wu Yun and Lei Chi, both ninth-rank officials, were chatting while guarding an empty table of plates.

"...Our approach hasn't always been like this."

"Once I reach the sixth rank, I will be able to generate flesh and blood from lightning."

"At that time, my body will be able to freely switch between flesh and lightning elements, and I will be able to taste the deliciousness of food again!"
"My favorite food is the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from my hometown..."

Wu Yun found it increasingly strange as he listened.

"Isn't this setting a flag?"
"People who say such things often die before they even get to eat a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and before they even reach the sixth rank."

Lei Chi, a ninth-rank official, grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth that shimmered with lightning.

"Yes, that's why I need to say it more often and set this flag more often."

"I'm only a ninth-rank, I'm still a long way from the sixth-rank."

"By setting this flag, I will definitely not die when I am at the eighth or seventh rank!"

"The immortality of rank eight and rank seven is already incredibly powerful!"

Wu Yun smirked.

This was the first time he had ever heard of a flag being used in this way.
This guy is really something!
