I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

"Brother Dong! The annual Extraordinary Club social gathering in Jiangcheng is a grand event, with hundreds of sequence extraordinary individuals participating each time."

Lin Xiao sincerely invited, "If you want to go, I can get you an invitation."

However, given Dong Ge's current status on the list of supernatural beings, someone might actually come to invite him.

"You actually managed to get an invitation?" Yi Qianxun asked, somewhat surprised.

"certainly."

Lin Xiao, wanting to show off his influence in front of Xu Lindong, said with a smile, "Our Dongxing Hotel has its own quota, so getting two invitations is easy."

Xu Lindong originally intended to refuse.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of social interaction and preferred to spend his time cultivating himself.

But then he thought that Yi Qianxun needed to build up his influence for his promotion.

At gatherings of the Extraordinary Club, showing one's face in front of a group of sequence extraordinary individuals is undoubtedly the fastest way to increase one's fame.

He immediately changed his mind.

If Sister Xun can be successfully promoted to village head, he will have less to worry about at home.

At the same time, one can learn from her promotion process and prepare for one's own future practice of morality and righteousness.

Xu Lindong then asked, "Who usually attends this Extraordinary Club social gathering? Are there many Sequence Extraordinary individuals?"

"I went in once last year. Although I was just a nobody, I still saw quite a few impressive people."

Lin Xiao immediately introduced, "There should be quite a few people from your Department of Supernatural Abilities, as well as many from other cities, and even some sequence superhumans from the Extraterrestrial Federation will make an appearance."

"A Sequence Extraordinary Being from the Extraterritorial Federation?"

Xu Lindong became interested. "People from the Federation are generally restricted in the country and rarely have the opportunity to meet them."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It is restricted, but every year some Federation sequence superhumans still use the guise of exchange to obtain special permission to enter the country."

They usually don't miss these kinds of gatherings.

"Okay, if it's not too much trouble, please get me two invitations. If it is, then forget it," Xu Lindong said.

This kind of invitation does not constitute bribery.

He definitely wouldn't accept it if it were from someone he didn't know well, but he could accept it since it was from Lin Xiao.

"No problem! It's a piece of cake, no trouble at all!"

Lin Xiao quickly agreed; this was practically a golden opportunity to shine.

"Dongzi is really amazing now..."

Yi Qianxun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, glanced at Xu Lindong and was secretly amazed.

Dongzi solved the problem with just a few words: an invitation that even she couldn't get her hands on, and which Guo Ziqian even used as a bargaining chip.

Soon, the sports car arrived outside Mingjiang Residential Area.

Xu Lindong and Yi Qianxun got out of the car and walked home.

"Can you tell me about the big surprise you mentioned before?" Xu Lindong asked with a smile, tilting his head.

Yi Qianxun sighed softly and patted his bag. "The surprises are all in here... but now that you've suddenly become so powerful, this little bit probably doesn't count as a surprise anymore."

As she spoke, she took a round metal bottle out of her bag.

The middle part of the bottle is made of glass, and it seems to be covered with something that looks like blood-red grass stems.

"The extraordinary substance needed for the promotion of village head... Blood and Qi Grass?"

Xu Lindong looked at the metal bottle that Yi Qianxun had taken out with a slightly surprised expression.

"Well, I barely managed to get it by using my merits in the institute, the money I've saved over the years, and selling some of my beloved handheld game consoles, discs, and accounts."

Yi Qianxun sighed softly, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise to prove that I can get the promotion materials on my own... I didn't expect you to be so strong now, able to get things that I can't get so easily."

"It seems there's a sad, thick barrier between us."

"Speak like a human being!"

Xu Lindong rolled his eyes.

If it weren't for the opportunity presented by the Tower of Babel, his cultivation speed wouldn't have been so fast, and he wouldn't have achieved his current strength.

"Don't forget, I recently acquired quite a few level-three extraordinary potions, so it's normal for them to improve quickly after consumption."

He smiled and comforted me, "Once you get promoted and are valued by the institute, your progress will naturally catch up."

Yi Qianxun perked up upon hearing this.

The stronger Dongzi became, the happier she was for him.

That soft sigh just now was more a reflection of the unease and anxiety hidden in her heart.

She gripped the metal bottle tightly and whispered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you and will become a burden to you."

Xu Lindong was taken aback, then laughed as he walked, "How could that be? Remember what I said before? I was counting on you to gain a foothold in the Commander's Office and rise step by step."

He changed his tone: "Actually, I need you to help me find some materials at the institute recently. It would be best if you could lend them out."

Yi Qianxun's eyes lit up: "What kind of information do you need?"

Xu Lindong pondered for a moment: "Books related to the duties and authority of the Kitchen God, the format of prayers, and records of ancient practices such as corpse driving and corpse refining..."

He needed these books to verify what Houtu Niangniang said, to understand the Kitchen God's ultimate core ability of tattling, and even to try to figure out how to play the role.

Yi Qianxun immediately clenched her fist: "Okay, I'll go look for it tomorrow!"

Xu Lindong smiled and said, "Let's go home first. I'll take you to that extraordinary social event in a couple of days."

He can indeed be much more at ease now, and he will be able to pay off the family's debts soon.

Putting everything else aside, the authentic low-sequence extraordinary matter condensed in the Tower of Babel alone is worth a lot of money.

Handing it over to the company can get you both resources and money.

As for the origin of the items, they can be said to have been harvested from the sinkhole in the ancestral hall of the ancient town.

...

After a brief chat with Uncle Yi and Aunt Zhou at home, Xu Lindong returned to his room, took out the bottle of the rewarded Level 3 Extraordinary Potion, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he picked up the baseball bat and pounded his entire body, paying special attention to his joints.

These are the basic steps of the zombie role-playing method.

He then lay quietly on the bed, pretending to be a zombie and entering a state of suspended animation.

Consciousness, however, spreads along with hearing and intuition, listening to and perceiving everything around us.

"Hearing" is a zombie's instinct.

The ability to perceive the sounds and movements of the living with a dead body, to capture life force, and to reach the highest level is the ability of "listening attentively".

But "listening" is also a skill of the kitchen official.

The Book of Rites states: "The Kitchen God resides in the human world, overseeing minor transgressions and issuing warnings."

Folklore also says that the Kitchen God keeps a good jar and a bad jar next to him, which record the words and deeds of the family members at all times.

This means that the Kitchen God is always in the kitchen, and he sees everything about the family, from eating and drinking to talking, arguing, taking a break, doing good or doing evil. He is the god who knows the most about the family's secrets.

Therefore, by "listening," he can simultaneously advance the roles of both the zombie and the kitchen god, digest extraordinary matter, and comprehend the true meaning of the sequence.

At this moment, however, he is more focused on "observing" the fireworks from all directions by listening, trying to ignite the fire in his heart and open the mirror of his mind.

Subtle sounds from all directions quickly entered his ears.

A couple on a ten-story building were whispering sweet nothings to each other, while from the next building came the mundane details of daily life, the calculations of firewood and cooking oil.

Amidst the clattering of mahjong tiles downstairs, there were also a few words of foul language exchanged during an argument.

He listened to all aspects of human life, from the most private matters to the most trivial ones.

Although these sounds were not clearly distinguishable as good or evil, they gradually made him familiar with this state of obtaining information and judging the world by hearing.

However, these ordinary noises alone are not enough to ignite the fire in one's heart.

Xu Lindong had an epiphany and planned to ask Lei Chong for more detailed advice the next day.

As he listened, he gradually realized that he could use his zombie intuition to tell the health, mental state, and even physical ailments of the people around him just by listening to their voices.

This is clearly another special ability of a zombie.

"This is a corpse listener? In the language of the Federation outside the domain, it's called a 'corpse-blowing corpse listener'..."

He made a self-deprecating remark, when suddenly he heard a woman's angry roar from upstairs.

"Tell me, quickly tell me what the relationship is between the two?"
