Hunting God Era

Chapter 17 When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
After leaving the disinfection bureau, Li Ye returned home. When his parents came home in the evening, he activated his Qi and blood to show them.

He pointed to his arm, which was emitting a faint smoke under the incandescent light, and said:

"Look, these tiny halos of light and smoke rise and fluctuate with frequency, each fluctuation representing a movement of qi and blood."

Li Haihua smiled and exclaimed "Good!" a few times. "Xiao Ye, you've got your martial arts university covered! With your general education grades, you can easily find a good job!"

“Yes, yes, just like your aunt’s son, he also graduated from a martial arts university and is now working as a security consultant in Yunhai. I heard he earns tens of thousands a month,” Liu Qingxia said excitedly.

After she finished speaking, her expression stiffened, and Li Haihua's face also turned somewhat pale.

Liu Qingxia has six siblings in total, three boys and three girls. Liu Qingxia is the fifth child, and her aunt is naturally the eldest sister. However, there are good and bad relationships among relatives. Her aunt married a rich man when she was young, and then she looked down on everyone.

When we visited each other at the end of the year, he would always make sarcastic remarks, especially after his son broke through the Dragon Gate and entered the martial arts university.

Li Ye encountered this last year. At that time, he had just transferred to the preparatory course and was criticized for being unrealistic and daydreaming. People said he had no talent for martial arts and didn't even need to go to university. They suggested he find a factory to work as a screwdriver.

After all, graduates from ordinary universities don't necessarily earn as much as those working in factories.

They had previously believed in high-tech martial arts training and scraped together 300,000 yuan, borrowing from all their relatives except their aunt's family.

No matter how difficult it is, we still have this spirit.

Now we can finally hold our heads high.

While their son's ideals certainly play a significant role, they also hope to live with their heads held high.

What normal parent doesn't want the best for their children?
If their children get better, they can get better too.

Li Ye understands this very well; not only does he understand, but he also strongly supports it.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, let alone their parents.

Although he's only at the first level, he can at least lighten his parents' burden now.

"You don't need to buy me supplements anymore."

Li Ye said, "I've reached the Dragon Gate, so those supplements aren't very effective anymore."

"Doesn't the Dragon Gate need to be filled even more? Otherwise, how can we improve?" Liu Qingxia didn't believe it.

Li Ye said, "Mom, really, there's no need. Once I get into the Martial Arts Department this summer, the school will provide resources that are even better than what's available on the market."

His parents wanted to persuade him further, but Li Ye had no choice but to say, "Do you know about the Disinfection Bureau?"

The mother shook her head, while the father paused for a moment, then said, "It sounds like I've heard that name somewhere before."

Li Ye understood. He hadn't heard much about this department before he encountered it, since it had five staff members and was essentially operating behind the scenes.

"It's a department that specializes in studying demons. Huang Qingyi, whom I told you about, is also in this department. He saw that I knew a lot about demons, and since I had just broken through the Dragon Gate, he gave me a part-time job there."

"They don't have much money, but the benefits are good, and there are a lot of supplements. My blood and energy have improved, which is equivalent to them taking care of everything."

That's about right. Li Ye used the money he was given to buy rice to improve his blood and energy, which is like the disinfection bureau distributing high-end ingredients.

"Does that mean we're now eating the food of officials?!"

Li Haihua's eyes lit up. "I knew it! My son is a natural-born martial artist! Look, he was invited up on his very first day as a martial artist."

If they had previously suspected it was a delaying tactic, now it was clearly a breakthrough in Qi and blood. Even if they couldn't see the pulsating Qi and blood clearly, his spirit and energy were obviously much better than before.

They had seen other martial artists whose spirit and energy were similar to their son's.

After all, they've already broken through the dragon gate, so their future work won't be too bad. There's no need to use this kind of excuse to fob them off.

Moreover, their only expectation was for Li Ye to break through the Dragon Gate and have a bright future.

"It's not really a government job, just a part-time job. I might come back a little later," Li Ye said with a smile.

As for the possibility that someone might teach him later, there's no need to say anything. It's still far from certain. Just say something simple for your parents to understand.

This gave him a perfect excuse to spend more time cultivating instead of having to go home on time.

"We don't understand the affairs of you martial artists. If the government asks you to do something, then do it. Don't even think about slacking off."

Liu Qingxia was still a little unwilling to give up, "Are you sure we don't need to prepare any supplements?"

Li Ye laughed and said, "Really, there's no need. I've already broken through the Dragon Gate, so don't worry about it."

Seeing Li Ye looking relaxed, his parents were happy and also breathed a sigh of relief.

The cost of martial arts training is very high, especially for ordinary families like theirs who send Li Ye to a martial arts school.

From the first year of junior high to the second year of senior high, Li Ye spent all the money he earned on this for five years, but now he doesn't need to anymore.

The 300,000 yuan borrowed can be repaid, and as for the 200,000 yuan in outstanding debt, it can be repaid in two or three years by saving every penny.

"Honey, make some side dishes, we'll have a drink tonight!"

Li Haihua laughed loudly, "Xiao Ye, have a couple of drinks with your dad!"

"go with!"

Liu Qingxia rolled her eyes and said, "What are you doing drinking alcohol? You're still growing, why are you drinking all by yourself!"

Seeing his parents' happy faces, Li Ye chuckled as well.

There's still plenty of time; we'll take it one step at a time. Right now, we're just getting started. Later on, he'll let his parents enjoy life.

If someone has power but lacks even this basic confidence, they might as well not live at all.

The next day, Li Ye got up early, took a taxi to his rented room in a suburban town, where he still had four bags of rice left to eat.
Yesterday, he took on some data collection work and reviewed a lot of surveillance footage and video photos. This made him realize something: thankfully, he had rented a place in a suburban town. Remote areas don't have many surveillance cameras to begin with, and his location was far from any of them, so no one would know what he was doing.

Otherwise, if someone finds out that I've eaten so much rice, they might easily assume I've been corrupted by demons, and if they find out, they won't be able to explain it, which would only cause trouble.

He needed to be even more cautious, especially since he knew that there seemed to be a cult and half a million members involved.

As for buying rice.
This is nothing; the goods have already gone through security checks during transport, so naturally they won't care.

The disinfection department mainly deals with demons and monsters; if it were to cover everything, no number of people would be enough.

Moreover, getting this part-time job allows him to be more careful, and if he uses this identity well, he can avoid a lot of trouble.

After arriving at the rented room, Li Ye followed the same method. Since he had no martial arts training, the only way to increase his qi and blood was through eating.

It took more than four hours to cook 400 catties of rice. With the three-fold boost from the Five Flavors Chopsticks, Li Ye gained a total of 6 points of Qi and Blood.

There's still a long way to go to reach the 300 figure I displayed after quantifying it.

"Cultivation is really difficult."

Li Ye sighed. He had been improving his qi and blood since childhood, and with the addition of practicing techniques, he only had eighty points. After obtaining the authority, although the speed increased, he still felt overwhelmed when he did the math.

He needs to eat ten tons of rice to reach the Second Dragon Gate.

The 30,000 yuan that Pan Zhengyang gave me earlier was just enough to buy ten tons of rice.
Ten tons of rice, 20,000 jin (10,000 kg), even at his current efficiency, working around the clock without sleep would take about ten days. Even if he devoted most of his time to this, it would still take half a month.

This is just the first breakthrough upwards from the Dragon Gate.
I have considered increasing efficiency, but in this single-story house, twenty rice cookers are the limit. As for a more efficient rice steamer, it's not feasible in the current environment.

"I never thought I'd have trouble even eating. Oh well, I'll figure something out later."

Li Ye opened his phone, found the rice seller he had previously bought from, and placed another order for ten tons of rice before leaving for the disinfection bureau.

Unlike the world of my previous life, where buying ten tons of grain would get you investigated, given the presence of martial artists, the restrictions on grain purchases are lowered here, as long as Li Ye doesn't buy it too frequently.

You can't prevent poor people from practicing martial arts, can you?

While waiting for the rice, you can also visit the pest control bureau to access information, discover traces of demons, and ideally, find the god to seize more power.

An hour later, he arrived at the first floor of the disinfection bureau. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huang Qingyi and two other people leaving, their faces full of exhaustion.

Upon seeing Li Ye, Huang Qingyi asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Director Pan asked me to work part-time as a data clerk," Li Ye said with a smile.

"Data clerk? Isn't that Yilongmen?"

Huang Qingyi was stunned for a moment, "You broke through the Dragon Gate?"

Li Ye activated his qi and blood, and the surging aura made Huang Qingyi a little stunned. Just a few days ago, he was an ordinary person practicing martial arts and was even deceived because of it. Now he has broken through the Dragon Gate.
But soon he smiled and said, "Great! Congratulations. Part-time work is good too. It'll be useful for you in the future."

Breaking through the Dragon Gate is nothing special; it's just that one's qi and blood have condensed to a certain degree. When he broke through the Dragon Gate back then, he only felt it when he was about to reach the end.

Li Ye smiled and asked, "What's this?"

"I just got back from a busy day, and now I have a new assignment to take me out."

"Okay, you go about your business."

Li Ye nodded and headed towards the second floor, but halfway there he stopped, turned around, and left Huang Qingyi with a sentence that left Huang Qingyi puzzled:
"I'll get you two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes later."

"Zhonghua? What Zhonghua? I don't smoke."

Huang Qingyi murmured something, shook his head, and didn't take it seriously.

A middle-aged man with a small mustache watched Li Ye go upstairs and asked, "Big Yellow, who's that?"

"Li Ye, he helped me solve the problem last time when the data clerk made a mistake and mistook the Five Plague Ghosts for the Filthy Worms. He's a very capable person, and Director Pan thinks highly of him."

Huang Qingyi shook his head and chuckled as he recalled the first time he met Li Ye, when Li Ye directed him to kill the Five Plague Demons.

A top graduate of the Six Dragons Sect, a prestigious martial arts university, actually listened to a student, and upon reflection, felt no discomfort whatsoever.

"Get out of here on the mission immediately."

The other person didn't care about all that and just urged them to leave quickly.

The man with the mustache who had asked the question earlier glanced meaningfully at the second floor before following the others out.

"Li Ye, are you here for a part-time job today too?"

"Good morning, Li Ye."

Upon entering the document room, the document clerks inside greeted him warmly.

His performance yesterday shocked them all for quite a while.

It's already quite remarkable that a high school student's general knowledge can compare to those of seasoned veterans with a wealth of experience.

Of course, the most remarkable thing was that Director Pan specifically asked him to "take on a part-time job".

Being enthusiastic won't cause any problems, but if you're not enthusiastic, nobody knows what might happen.

Li Ye greeted them one by one, without showing any smugness.

People give you face, but don't take that as a reason to be arrogant. If you have no grudges against them, of course you should get along well with them.
