My Text-Based Cultivation Game

Chapter 26 More Money Required

Xiao Hei is quite obedient when it comes to eating and going to the toilet, but when it comes to sleeping, Xiao Hei always wants to crawl into Yunyang's bed.

Xiao Hei is indeed a bit too clingy. It's one thing in the dorm, but during class he still wants to lie on me.

But Yunyang could tell from Ding Zhen at a glance that the cat demon just wanted to absorb his spiritual energy.

Fortunately, there weren't many girls in the civil engineering class. Otherwise, the scene of Yunyang bringing a kitten to class, which was so much like something out of an anime, would have caused quite a few girls to scream.

"Shh~"

Sitting in his seat, Yunyang quietly gestured to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei understood Yunyang's meaning and quietly lay on Yunyang's lap.

The pure black Xiao Hei and Yunyang's black trousers blended perfectly together at this moment, and you really couldn't tell them apart unless you looked closely.

"Hey, Yang-ge," Zhang Gu, sitting next to Yunyang, whispered to Yunyang, "Your cat is so obedient, can I borrow it for a bit?"

"what?"

"Hey, I heard yesterday that your cat can do backflips, and I'd like to show Li Ziran that too."

"Go away, you're so bored. If you want to pick up girls, you have to rely on your own abilities."

"External help is also very necessary. After what happened at the last dinner, my relationship with Ziran didn't progress any further. We need a new opportunity."

"Do you have a quick way to get 500,000? If you do, I'll lend you Xiao Hei."

"What? Five hundred thousand? Yang, you don't owe some loan sharks, do you?"

"No, I just want to stop trying in life."

"...I am speechless." Zhang Gu said without saying a word.

"Hey, Yunyang."

"Um?"

Just as Yunyang was whispering to Zhang Gu, someone next to him suddenly called his name.

Turning his head, he saw it was Gu Meng.

Why is she here?

"Huh? You have a cat?"

Gu Meng immediately recognized Xiao Hei lying on Yun Yang's lap.

Seeing this, Zhang Gu immediately nudged Yunyang with his elbow and winked at him.

See, see? If you want to attract girls, external things are also very necessary!

Go away, stop getting all worked up.

Yunyang nudged Zhang Gu with his shoulder.

Then he turned to look at Gu Meng.

"I found this cat. What breed is it? Can I keep it?"

With Zhang Gu still nearby, Yunyang naturally couldn't directly say that Xiao Hei was a demon, so he could only use "that kind of species" as a substitute.

"Yeah?"

Gu Meng clearly understood Yun Yang's meaning, and looked down confidently at Xiao Hei lying on Yun Yang's lap.

However, looking at the black kitten that was almost limp and watery, Gu Meng suddenly had a strange feeling that she wanted to lie on it for a while.

"Can we keep it?" Yunyang couldn't help but ask, seeing Gu Meng staring at Xiao Hei.

"Ahem!"

Gu Meng shook her head, trying to shake off the inexplicable thoughts in her mind.

"You can keep it. It's basically no different from a regular cat. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know what breed it is."

"Huh?" Zhang Gu, standing to the side, was completely confused. "What are you talking about? That kind of breed? Which breed?"

"Um... some things about 'cat breeds and mating,' sigh! You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Oh? Breeding?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Gu raised an eyebrow at Yun Yang in a lewd manner. "I love breeding the most, I can't miss this kind of topic."

"You rascal." Yunyang elbowed Zhang Gu. "Go away, go play somewhere else."

Zhang Gu chuckled, gave Yunyang a knowing look, and then stopped bothering the two.

Without Zhang Gu's interruption, Yunyang turned to look at Gu Meng again, "By the way, what brings you here?"

"I almost forgot the important thing. There's been a follow-up on the matter you had with Uncle Li last time."

"Oh?" Yunyang's eyes immediately lit up, but then he whispered to Gu Meng in a voice no one else could hear, "Didn't you say there were very few missions? How come there's news so quickly?"

"This mission is a bit special," Gu Meng said in a low voice. "I'll wait for you at the classroom door. We can discuss the details after class."

After saying that, Gu Meng left the classroom.

Watching Gu Meng's departing figure, Yunyang really wanted to say, "Actually, I could also choose to skip this class."

"Oh, finished whispering?"

Seeing that Gu Meng had left, Zhang Gu came over again, winking and smacking his lips at Yun Yang, teasingly saying:

"Tsk tsk, I didn't get to know Ziran well at dinner last time, but I didn't expect you to get to know Gu Meng so well. Hey, let me tell you, Gu Meng is the only red flower among the green leaves in our department. She's a campus beauty."

"Alright, stop fooling around." Yunyang gestured towards the door with his chin. "The teachers are here."

Seeing that the teacher on the podium had already opened the PPT and was ready to start the class, Zhang Gu stopped joking with Yunyang.

"Tch, you're so easily amused, you're no fun."

"You're kidding me."

Yunyang nudged Zhang Gu with his shoulder and secretly turned on his phone.

"Golden spatula," start!

It was just a water class, and it was really hard for Shu Yunyang to pay attention.

The teacher reads from the PPT on the podium, while the students do whatever they want below the podium. In a sense, the two have reached a strange tacit understanding.

In other words, students don't care about the quality of the teacher's lectures, and teachers don't care whether the students are listening or not.

And so, after two games, the bell rang, and the students filed out of the classroom. But as soon as they stepped out, they saw a tall, beautiful woman with a high ponytail standing at the classroom door, scrolling through her phone.

This person was none other than Gu Meng.

Seeing a beautiful woman standing at the classroom door inevitably aroused the curiosity of the students passing by.

However, Gu Meng possessed an aura that kept others at a distance. Although the students passing by cast curious glances at her, none of them approached her to speak.

"You really waited here for the entire class period?" Yunyang asked as he handed Xiao Hei over to his roommates.

"It's just scrolling through my phone for a bit," Gu Meng said, putting her phone back in her pocket as she saw Yunyang approach.

Click!

At this moment, passersby may seem indifferent, but in reality, everyone's attention is focused on Gu Meng.

Seeing that the goddess, who seemed like a flower on a high mountain, was waiting for someone else, and that person was such a "pretty boy," all the passing boys' hearts shattered at that moment.

Gu Meng looked around, grabbed Yunyang's wrist, and pulled him downstairs. "Let's go, this isn't the place to talk."

"Click!"

Well, my broken heart is now completely shattered.

"Hey, stop dragging me."

After leaving the teaching building, Yunyang couldn't help but say.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Gu Meng calmly released Yun Yang's wrist, her expression showing no sign of unease.

"I heard from Uncle Li that you want to take on extraordinary missions in other cities?"

"That's right." Yunyang nodded emphatically. "I want to make money!"

Gu Meng nodded in understanding of Yun Yang's greedy behavior, "I have a task here in Chi County, which is under the jurisdiction of the neighboring Jingu City."

"What level of mission is it? What's the reward?"

"Judging from the spiritual energy reaction, it should be grade B, and the reward is around 200,000."

"Sounds pretty good, but to be honest," Yunyang suddenly changed the subject, asking, "I've been meaning to ask this, where did you get your missions from? Did you forget to tell me about any mission-giving websites or similar channels?"

"You're overthinking it. There's no such website. In fact, these missions are issued by the Psionic Bureau headquarters to the local Psionic Bureaus for allocation. Each mission requires cooperation with the local police and even the military. It's a serious matter, and it's impossible for Awakened Ones to act in their personal capacity."

Yunyang thought about it for a moment, then felt something was off. "If the tasks are to be centrally allocated, why are you asking me?"

"Because... this mission is somewhat special. It wasn't assigned by headquarters; it's more like local coordination, something like..."

"Something personal?" Yunyang asked, guessing.

"..."

Gu Meng turned her head to one side as if it were her own business.

He had an expression that said, "I never said that."

"Explain in detail what exactly happened?"

"How should I put it?" Gu Meng seemed quite annoyed as she spoke, clearly not liking this kind of thing.

"The local specialist of the Psionic Bureau in Jingu City is getting old and should retire. The person who takes over his position needs to have the qualifications to replace him. Fortunately, a B-level spiritual energy reaction has appeared in Jingu City. As long as it is completed, he can take over the old specialist's position."

Therefore, this B-level mission needs to be flawless, and it would be best to find someone who can keep things under control.

With your general-level strength and the fact that you're a new recruit who's easy to mobilize, you're the most suitable candidate.

"But of course, you are a general-level expert. Even if the person who commissioned me to negotiate with you uses connections to transfer you here, you still need to agree."

"I see, it's possible, but why does this...sound a bit unreliable to me?"

Gu Meng nodded in agreement, saying, "I also think this is quite troublesome. If you don't want to, then I'll..."

"You'll have to pay more."

"..."

Gu Meng paused for a moment, then chose to ignore what Yun Yang had just said.

"It's good that you're interested. The girl who asked me to come and talk to you is outside the school right now. Do you want to go see her? Talk to her?"

"Very good." Yunyang smiled. It was rare for someone to come and offer a pillow when he was sleepy. He naturally had to go and meet such a patron.

"Don't worry." Gu Meng patted Yunyang on the shoulder. "The girl who's hiring you is loaded. You can ask for an exorbitant price and rip her off!"
