It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Three days passed in a flash. Li Xianyu got to know several company bloodlines in the group. Apart from the Thunder King, the others were not very reliable. No, the Thunder War Maiden was quite reliable. She would occasionally follow the crowd and act silly, but she was actually quite trustworthy and not aloof. Li Xianyu checked her profile and found that she was a tall, slender, and charming beauty with short hair.

The most unconventional are the "girl killer" and the "finger technique"; the former is a handsome, well-built man, and the latter is a scruffy, middle-aged man.

Then there's Li Bai. His most notable characteristic is his love of reciting poetry. He'll suddenly burst into a few lines of poetry while we're talking, making chatting with him exhausting. He especially loves poetry battles, always throwing out a line of poetry and then tagging you to finish it.

There are also Murphy and Li Shizhen, who only appeared briefly. The former is said to be in charge of all the bloodline records in the world, and she is responsible for giving all the bloodline titles in the company. Li Xianyu has not yet been officially promoted and does not have a title for the time being.

No wonder he felt the titles of "bloodline" in the company had a similar style; they were all created by the same person.

This woman has a knack for choosing names; she's quite talented.

Blood relatives do not ask each other's real names; unless it is voluntary, they all address each other by code names.

Li Shizhen was one of the four great physicians in the medical department, and his acupuncture skills were unparalleled. It should have been a piece of cake for him to cure Li Shizhen's kidney deficiency. However, he stopped going online after that day. Li Xianyu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and since they weren't familiar with each other, he didn't go to the company to look for him.

Li Shizhen is a pseudonym, not his real name.

The most interesting one is King Kong. This guy has severe gynophobia and cannot accept any physical contact with women. Even shaking hands will make him feel nauseous and vomit. It's as if... women are a pile of shit in his eyes.

The key point is that King Kong isn't gay; if he were, that would be one thing.

But ironically, he has no interest in men.

So when Li Bai was teasing King Kong that day, Li Xianyu accidentally fell into the trap and has been resented by King Kong ever since, who often criticizes him, the newcomer, in the group chat.

"Bian Que said that this kind of psychological trauma is almost permanent and cannot be cured. King Kong has collected almost all the anime from the island nation over the years."

In a private chat, the Thunder King said the following.

Bian Que was one of the four legendary doctors in the medical field.

It seems like they're offering a hefty sum to buy his computer memory card... Li Xianyu specifically went online to check and keenly spotted a loophole: "Wait a minute, there are two types of gynophobia: one is social anxiety, and the other is a fear of women. The former is more common among otaku, while the latter is more common among middle-aged men. What's wrong with King Kong? Where does his problem stem from?"

The gynophobia of otaku shouldn't prevent them from having normal pregnancies with women, while middle-aged men have lost to the cruel hand of time, no longer wanting women, let alone watching anime.

The Thunder King was also unsure about this issue, only saying it was a psychological trauma, but Vajra refused to reveal the reason for his gynophobia.

He got up at eight in the morning, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and picked up a package from the parcel locker. The package contained his great-grandmother's clothes, some snacks, and daily necessities. Women's clothes were too expensive in malls; Li Xianyu had resorted to Taobao. Although Taobao was full of low-quality and counterfeit goods, it was cheap. Of course, he didn't give his great-grandmother his Taobao account; if he did, he'd be in big trouble.

Then there are the items he bought online to ward off evil spirits.

In addition, there are also unregistered and unlicensed packages sent from the company.

Grandma was still sleeping in, her back to the door, her long legs wrapped in the blankets, wearing short pajama pants that barely reached her thighs.

Lolis are too young, teenage girls are too immature, and women of the same age lack charm; mature women and older sisters are the best.

Without disturbing her, he closed the door and went to Sanwu's room, holding a package in his hand. He knocked on the door first, then said, "Sanwu, I'm coming in."

Sanwu sat obediently on the bed watching TV, his eyes glued to the screen, showing no reaction to Li Xianyu's arrival.

"Your package." Li Xianyu handed over the package box.

Sanwu opened the box, took out a gas mask, and his expressionless face showed a slight expression of relief.

"A gas mask?!" Li Xianyu seemed to have guessed something.

"Practice Qi!" Sanwu said, putting on her gas mask and sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Holy crap, this is how it works.....

Sanwu thought for a moment and explained, "Without a gas mask, we'll be poisoned by the smog when we breathe in the air, after all, we live in Shanghai."

Black is good.

Li Xianyu silently covered her face: "Does everyone have to wear this when practicing Qi? How come I didn't think of that?"

The company has a large air purifier in its ventilation system, so you don't have to worry about smog when practicing breathing exercises there. This is the only thing you can buy from you.

He had previously imagined all sorts of ways to overcome the Dharma-ending Age, some fantastical, some martial arts, some lowbrow, but he never expected it to be so scientific.

So, in this degenerate age, all you need is a gas mask or an air purifier?

Li Xianyu said listlessly, "You continue, I'm going to play games."

He stayed up late last night reading a lot of materials. He's no longer a novice when it comes to Qi cultivation; he at least knows some basics. There's a saying in Qi cultivation: "Constant dripping wears away a stone; it takes ten years of effort!"

This means that regardless of whether someone is a genius or a good-for-nothing, the threshold for mastering Qi cultivation is ten years.

This means that even if Li Xianyu is a once-in-a-millennium genius, he would still need to train for ten years to achieve anything.

Ten years later, he's grown into a middle-aged man. If you can't show off when you're young, what's the point of practicing Qi cultivation?

Having grown accustomed to the fast-paced life in Shanghai, Li Xianyu had already ruled out the path of Qi cultivation from his mind.

The only way is to awaken. Once awakened, I can control my great-grandmother and become invincible.

"Ding!"

A message notification came to my phone from the chat app "Gu Yao".

Li Xianyu took out his phone and scrolled through the chats of his bloodline predecessors.

It's King Kong complaining again about the lack of new anime series.

But still no one responded to him. The group was full of monster bloodline members who had plenty of money and probably wouldn't lack women. They might take a look out of interest, but they would definitely not go out of their way to collect or treasure them.

King Kong: "Boring. I knew begging you guys was useless. Why hasn't Long Aotian woken up yet? Has no one gone to wake him up lately?"

Thunder War Maiden: "Do you dare to go? Fire-breathing kid was lucky to be saved, but even so, he relapsed a few days ago and is now tied up in the medical department and being treated as a severely mentally ill patient."

The heartthrob: "I'm not afraid of otaku who love to fantasize, I'm afraid of otaku with superpowers."

Finger gesture: "So, I'd rather be a construction worker than a shut-in. Besides, now that Sanwu is with Li Xianyu, otherwise, with her protecting him, we could try to wake up Long Aotian."

Li Bai: "Even with three no's protection, you can only ensure safety; you still can't wake up Long Aotian. You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. By the way, why does a three no's have to follow an intern?"

Thunder War Maiden: "The Dharma King said he is a promising talent."

Finger gesture: "You believe that? That's just a perfunctory response. Why don't you just ask him directly? @WalkingPileDriver"

Just as Li Xianyu was about to respond, an unfamiliar user named "Tongtong" asked, "Who is Li Xianyu?"

Li Bai posted a picture with the caption: Little sister, brother will take you to see the goldfish.

The teenage heartthrob posted a picture with the caption: "Want to meet the real me?"

The user posted a picture with the caption: "Three years of blood money, even a death sentence is worth it!"

Li Xianyu: mmp.

[Archive Administrator] Murphy: "Don't post these kinds of pictures in front of kids. Post them again and you'll be banned. Tongtong, that person is Li Xianyu."

Murphy withdrew all those photos.

Tongtong: "Why would someone so scary join the group?"

Upon seeing this, Li Xianyu felt a surge of bitterness well up in his eyes. He had only just entered the world of martial arts, and his image was already ruined.

[Archiver] Murphy: "Tongtong, is the new drama finished filming?"

Tongtong: "Yeah, we just finished filming. I have to go back to Shanghai for school tomorrow. My mom said I can't fall too far behind in my studies."

She sent several photos from the film set to the group chat, including photos of herself in period costumes with various celebrities. In each photo, there was a little girl with big eyes and long hair, who looked cute and adorable.

The little girl must be Tongtong.

The comment reads: "Why aren't there any photos of Qin Baobao? Has she not filmed a new drama?"

Tongtong: "The boss retired from acting a long time ago and stays at home taking care of the kids."

The teenage heartthrob: "I'm very curious about who the child's father is."

This issue received unanimous approval.

[Deputy Minister of Medical Affairs] Li Shizhen: "Tongtong, is your dad's lumbar disc herniation any better?"

Tongtong: "Thank you, Grandpa, I feel much better."

The walking pile driver: "Minister Li Shizhen, you've finally come out. Let's arrange a time to meet."

[Deputy Minister of Medical Affairs] Li Shizhen: "It's hopeless, farewell!"

King Kong: "Hahaha, kid, you're in a worse situation than me, and you still have the nerve to write poems to make fun of me."

Then, Jin Gang went on a spree of posting photos of Li Xianyu, accompanied by all sorts of cheesy captions.

System notification: The mobile pile driver has shared a link.

King Kong: "May good people have a peaceful life."

The teenage heartthrob: "May good people have a peaceful life."

Li Bai: "May good people live a peaceful life."

The fingering is strikingly similar to the phrase: "May good people have a peaceful life."

System notification: [Archiver] Murphy has banned "Walking Piledriver" for one day.
