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

"That's quite respectable," Feng Rui said, expressing his incomprehension. He emphasized, "Think about it, when people go out on missions, they draw their swords and knives, back in the era of cold weapons. When you reveal your weapon, clatter—a laser sword, isn't that incredibly respectable?"

Decent my foot!

Li Xianyu shook his head. To be honest, it was indeed cool, but it wasn't suitable for use in front of a large audience. Everyone else had a metal weapon style, while this was an interstellar style. It just felt kind of silly.

Furthermore, it wouldn't be good if ordinary people saw him. Finally, his talent for cultivating Qi was quite ordinary, and he felt it wasn't enough to sustain him in prolonged combat. With that little bit of true Qi, others could unleash a half-meter-long sword blade, while he could only unleash 5cm... even though that's the standard size for a man.

Feng Rui wanted to persuade him further, but the Thunder King shook his head.

"Alright, we have plenty of magical artifacts here. I'll pick out a more presentable one for you." Feng Rui hung the sword hilt back on the wall and then picked out a magical artifact that resembled an arm guard. It had an alloy shell engraved with seal script runes and nine small holes on the arm guard.

Feng Rui put on the arm guard, covering his entire forearm. "This thing is amazing. It combines technology and Taoist magic. See the runes on it? Lightning-attracting talisman, Divine Firmament Nine Thunders. Activated with true qi, it can unleash nine bolts of heavenly lightning, with astonishing destructive power. In addition, it also has a built-in high-voltage current that can emit 100,000 volts, making it suitable for both ranged and melee combat."

Feng Rui raised his left arm, rested his right hand on his left elbow, and made beeping noises.

His gesture brought back childhood memories for Li Xianyu: "Ultraman?!"

"You figured it out?" Feng Rui had a "you're really something" look on his face: "That's right, it's the one that imitates Ultraman's dynamic beam. It won last year's annual creative award. It's a good thing."

Li Xianyu: "..."

Suddenly I lost interest in my own magical artifact.

The Thunder King remained calm and asked, "Anything else, defensive types?"

Disappointed, Feng Rui put down the arm guard, picked it up for a long time, and pushed a stealth scale from the corner of the table over.

Its scales are bluish-black, about the size of two palms, and a golden swastika is drawn on the inside of each scale.

"What is this?" Li Xianyu finally saw a magical artifact with a cultivation-themed style.

Feng Rui said, "These are the reverse scales peeled off from the dragons. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, two large dragons emerged from the deep mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, devouring livestock and people, causing havoc in the region. They were driven out by the local bloodline. Later, they fled into the Yangtze River and lay dormant for several years before starting to stir up trouble again, capsizing passing ships. In those years, reports of Yangtze River monsters were everywhere. Once, when the Buddha was out discussing Taoism, on his way back to the temple, he passed through that area by boat and encountered the two large dragons causing trouble again. He intervened and suppressed them, peeling off their reverse scales. The Buddha took the two reverse scales back to the temple, where they were imbued with incense and Buddhist energy for decades, transforming into magical artifacts. When Baoze Group took over the responsibilities of the Taoist and Buddhist Association, the Buddha refined them into Buddhist Vajra and gave them to Baoze. Wearing them is like having Vajra protection, impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears."

"What about the other one?"

"I remember it was exchanged by Thunder War Maiden last year." Feng Rui looked at Thunder King, who nodded.

"Then I'll take it," Li Xianyu said immediately.

Matching magical artifacts for the Valkyries as a couple—that sounds intriguing.

Thunder King said, "Then it's settled. Three hundred points. Feng Rui, exchange those two sets of magical artifacts for him as well."

"Huh?" Feng Rui looked suspicious. "Your Majesty, are you serious? Three exclusive magical artifacts, that's six hundred points."

"Come on, those two broken magical artifacts wouldn't have been wanted even after ten years." Thunder King said irritably, "Young man, you're not old, but you're very cunning. I told you to bring good things, but you only brought me some pretty but useless things to deceive newcomers."

"It's not deception, it's really cool. We're all decent people, so why would you call it deception?" Feng Rui muttered.

"It's precisely because they're too presentable that nobody wants them. Last year, your Equipment Department insisted on holding some kind of creative competition, producing a bunch of bizarre and outlandish products. In the end, it was all just your Equipment Department's self-indulgence; the colleagues in the Enforcement Department couldn't even be bothered to look at them, and they're just sitting there unsold. If you still can't redeem them this year, I'll apply to have your Equipment Department's budget deducted."

"Fine, fine, take the 350 points." Feng Rui looked constipated.

"Three hundred points, that's the most I can get."

"Three hundred and twenty points."

"make a deal."

Li Xianyu wanted to say he didn't want it, but the Thunder King stopped him with a single look.

"Oh, and give me a wallet too."

"You want to buy one and get three free? That's going too far."

"Here's a standard leather wallet for this kid. I'll write you a form later and we'll go through the proper procedures."

"No, this batch of wallets is all synthetic leather, it's not presentable. Let's wait a while, I'll give you a genuine leather one then," Feng Rui said. "We're all respectable people."

Li Xianyu blurted out, "Is it Li Shizhen's skin?"

Feng Rui: "No, no, no, we don't need human skin, animal skin is enough."

Thunder King: "Then use it for now, and replace it when you get the genuine leather."

He knew that Feng Rui valued "decency" very much, so he didn't bother arguing with him and tried to go along with him as much as possible.

Feng Rui went out to retrieve his wallet, and the Thunder King said, "These two items may look flashy, but their destructive power is real. Having more magical artifacts means having more options. You know your own situation; the company can only give you so much."

Li Xianyu was very moved. The Dharma King and the War Maiden were both very gentle people.

The Thunder King neatly arranged the three ritual implements, took a picture, and posted it on his WeChat Moments: "The company's new employee is weak and lacks skills, so I personally paid out of my own pocket to exchange three ritual implements for him. Protecting saplings starts with me. I will absolutely not say that the new employee's name is Li Xianyu."

He blocked all his friends from seeing this post on his WeChat Moments; only one person could see it: Unrivaled Warrior.

On the day Li Xianyu was resurrected after a countdown, he had added his great-grandmother as a friend.

"Your Majesty, what about the points..."

"Consider it a gift from me."

"The Dharma King is so kind." Li Xianyu was deeply moved.

......

The Thunder King was very busy. After helping Li Xianyu settle the matter of the magical artifact, he immediately returned to his office to handle other matters.

Li Xianyu felt hungry again, so he pressed the button for the top floor, preparing to go to the revolving restaurant for another meal. His life-restoring ability consumes a lot of calories, so he eats two to three more times a day than others, and that food is converted into energy and stored in his cells.

He lovingly fiddled with the wallet; it was a spatial artifact with ten cubic meters of storage space. Li Xianyu hadn't decided what to put inside yet. Tongtong's spatial skirt was full of snacks, and Sanwu's was full of bricks. According to her, bricks were cheap and cost-effective, so her spatial artifact was filled with bricks. Li Xianyu had once wondered why Sanwu didn't use a Gatling gun. With her precision strike ability and the Gatling gun's rate of fire of hundreds of bullets per second, she would definitely be an enemy's nightmare.

After he awakened to the truth that superpowers also have limits, he stopped having such wild and unconventional ideas.

With the Gatling gun's rate of fire, it would drain the three-nothing in just a few seconds.

As he stepped into the revolving restaurant, he suddenly heard a beautiful and moving piano melody.

In a corner of the revolving restaurant, by the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a gleaming piano. A beautiful young woman sits at the piano, her slender fingers striking the keys with force. Sunlight shines on her golden hair, making it sparkle.

The blue eyes reflected the morning light, like the shimmering waves on the azure sea.

That was Victoria, a stunning beauty from the United States.

It must be admitted that some people are born with an aura. This scene should appear in an oil painting or a beautiful two-dimensional world: an empty music room, fluttering curtains, a piano by the window, sunlight stretching the girl's slender figure straight, her golden hair flying with the curtains.

Li Xianyu was deeply amazed by this scene.
