Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The night was dark and windy, the darkness as black as ink.

Two figures crept stealthily to the outer perimeter of the Demon Plant Garden, stopping in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras, and breathing very softly.

"Are you really going to do this?" Chu Ge turned her head to look at Xu Wan beside her, her tone filled with confusion. "Didn't you say before that one should be upright and honest?"

"Times change, don't worry about these trivial matters."

Xu Wan gave a perfunctory reply, her gaze fixed on the wire mesh fence outside the Magic Plant Garden that was connected to high voltage.

A mosquito, oblivious to its fate, flew close and, the moment it touched the edge of the electric grid, was instantly pulverized into ashes by the crackling current, leaving not a trace behind.

"How do you plan to get in?" Chu Ge asked curiously. "When we visited during the day, Yang Xueli said that the voltage of this electric grid is nearly two thousand volts, which can directly stun ordinary high-level demonic beasts."

She paused, then continued, "Moreover, as soon as someone gets close to the electric grid, nearby surveillance cameras will immediately capture the image, triggering a piercing alarm."

"Even if you manage to get past the electric fence, there are layers of surveillance and alarm systems in the park, so there's no way to escape."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan chuckled and turned to look at Chu Ge, her eyes full of confidence: "Since I dare to come here to steal vegetables in the middle of the night, I naturally have a foolproof plan to ensure that I won't be discovered."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the bushes not far away, bent down and crawled in. Immediately, a rustling sound came from the bushes.

A moment later, the girl emerged from the bushes, holding a hoe in her hand.

Chu Ge stared at what she was holding, then froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

"Where did you get this hoe?"

"I found it," the bald girl answered frankly and truthfully.

She did indeed find the hoe. After lunch, she came to the Magic Plant Garden to scout the area and found the hoe on the ground, so she casually hid it in the nearby bushes.

This hoe was something Yang Muyun had forgotten there after digging up the soil when he planted vegetables that morning. The old man searched for it all afternoon but couldn't find it, assuming it was just because he was old and his memory was failing, and didn't think of anything else at all.

Chu Ge's gaze swept back and forth between the hoe in Xu Wan's right hand and her gleaming bald head several times, his tone hesitant: "So, you plan to..."

"Dig it in."

Xu Wan's expression was serious, her eyes solemn, and she showed no sign of joking.

"In ancient times, people would chisel a hole in the wall to steal light; now, I'm digging a tunnel to steal vegetables!"

She raised the hoe high, its sharp blade tracing a cold arc in the moonlight, exuding a chilling aura.

Chu Ge stared at her blankly, his heart filled with astonishment.

Dig in?

This method doesn't seem like something a normal human could come up with.

For the first time, she felt that Xu Wan shouldn't be a being from this world.

That's too bizarre.

A night breeze blew by, bringing with it the chirping of insects. The arrogant and confident bald girl raised her voice and spoke:

"Yang Shirley said during the day that some of the magical plants in the garden are too dangerous for anyone to try on themselves, so they can only use monsters for experiments."

"Take that electric blueberry plant for example. If I were to directly apply to be her experimenter, she would definitely refuse me on the grounds of safety."

"But I'm determined to try. If I secretly complete the experiment behind her back and survive, what can she do to me, even if she's angry?"

"She might blame me for trespassing into the Demon Plant Garden, but to her, a surviving human test subject is far more important than holding me accountable for my mistakes."

"With my data, she can continue her in-depth research. At that point, she will naturally forgive and forget about my past actions."

"...I understand."

Chu Ge looked at Xu Wan and suddenly realized what was going on.

When I achieve my goal, a great scholar will surely debate the classics for me.

She has lived three lives and always acted with integrity. If there is any stain on her record, it is that she once stole bayberries and plums that had been sprayed with pesticides at the water park and drank water from the swimming pool.

But listening to Xu Wan's words, she inexplicably felt a stirring in her heart, and almost unconsciously wanted to accompany her in this "petty thievery."

"Want to join? Let's do it together!" Xu Wan looked at her and reached out to pull her in.

"Dry."

Chu Ge responded calmly without the slightest hesitation.

Acting decisively and practicing what you preach are essential steps in cultivating one's moral character. Moreover, this can also be considered a contribution to scientific research in this field.

"Crack—"

Moonlight streamed down as Xu Wan gripped her hoe tightly, swung it down hard, and dug out the first handful of soil.

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Xu Wan, the earth would have remained shrouded in eternal darkness!"

Tireless, she dug tirelessly, hoe after hoe, while simultaneously channeling water magic to wet the surrounding soil, making the digging easier. In no time, a pit more than three meters deep was dug out of the ground.

Without a shovel to carry the soil, she took off her coat, wrapped it around the soil, and vigorously threw it out of the pit.

The soil outside the pit piled up higher and higher, gradually forming a small mound that buried most of Chu Ge, who was sitting cross-legged and watching quietly, leaving only his small head sticking out.

"come on."

Chu Ge only showed the top of his head, silently encouraging her, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Xu Wan.

This woman possesses such great perseverance and wisdom that she could devise such an incredible plan. She is truly a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, making us all feel ashamed of our own inferiority.

Xu Wan, oh Xu Wan, it has to be you!

After digging to the predetermined depth, Xu Wan changed direction and began digging horizontally into the Magic Plant Garden.

Chu Ge stopped sitting and got up to help move the soil, while activating the small fireball to light the way in front of her.

For two whole hours, relying on superhuman strength, Xu Wan dug out a tunnel more than 20 meters long, leading directly to the underground of the Magic Plant Garden.

The bald girl wiped the sweat and dirt from her face, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, her eyes shining brightly: "That's the advantage of being strong—you're efficient at work!"

After saying that, she became even more energetic and swung the hoe even faster.

If there were an award for the most beautiful worker, Xu Wan would undoubtedly be the number one at this moment.

Five minutes later, Xu Wan paused, looked up at the layer of soil above her head, and turned to the white-haired girl covered in mud behind her, saying:

"That should be the location of the electric blueberry."

Chu Ge also looked up. Although his view was blocked by the soil, he could clearly sense a faint wisp of lightning magic swirling above his head, perfectly matching the energy fluctuations of the electric blueberry.

Xu Wan immediately began digging upwards, and soon broke through the soil, revealing a hole about two decimeters in diameter. A ray of moonlight shone through the greenhouse of the Magic Plant Garden and into the tunnel through the hole.

Fearing the soil would collapse, she immediately used her magic to seep into the surrounding soil, firmly reinforcing the inner walls of the tunnel.

After confirming it was safe, a hint of joy flashed in Xu Wan's eyes as she turned to look at Chu Ge: "I'll step on your shoulder and reach out to pick the electric blueberries."

"Are you sure?" Chu Ge frowned, not answering immediately. "The voltage of the electric blueberry is no less than 1,000 volts, enough to kill even a mid-level demon beast. With your current physique, you simply can't withstand that current. It's too dangerous."

"Or, I can do it."

"You don't trust me?" Xu Wan sneered, her eyes full of disdain. "I even dare to cultivate the 'Great Thousand Records,' so what's a little electric shock body tempering?"

Her gaze hardened, and her words rang out firmly: "If I were to retreat now out of fear, my Dao heart would surely crack in the future. How could I then overcome the tribulations of my inner demons? And how could I possibly attain the status of a Great Emperor?"

"Chu Ge, don't you dare disturb my resolve!"

"……good."

Chu Ge remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

Xu Wan is right. There is no room for retreat on the path of cultivation. If one were to have thoughts of retreat now, just as one once feared photography, such a regret would remain in one's heart and would surely hinder one's future path.

She crouched down, letting Xu Wan step onto her shoulders, then slowly stood up and steadily lifted her up.

Xu Wan was pushed down to the bottom of the hole and immediately reached out her hand to feel her way up the hole. Although this method was clumsy, it had the advantage of not having to step out of the tunnel, thus avoiding the possibility of being discovered by surveillance cameras.

"Haha, I got it!"

The next second, before the words of surprise could even finish, a series of cracking sounds rang out, and Xu Wan's whole body suddenly began to convulse violently.

"Ughh ...
