As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

"OK!"

Fang Shu suddenly exclaimed in surprise, clapping his hands and his eyes shining.

"It seems that the ability test at that time was not accurate enough."

Looking at the numbers on the force gauge, he didn't think much of it.

At present, everything about supernatural beings is still in its early stages, and it is unavoidable that there will be deviations in the testing.

It's not uncommon for people to break through to E-level in their teens, so it's normal for their physique to increase across the board.

However, a newcomer who had only been training for a week was able to reach the E-level standard in terms of strength.

Although the strength of a supernatural being is never simply a matter of brute force, there are still about half a month until the assessment. By then... he doesn't even dare to imagine how much he will improve.

The Night Owl members who were assessed in the same batch, and even that kid named He Ying today, will probably be severely impacted.

"never mind……"

Fang Shu's lips just curled up, then slowly fell back. He shook his head, realizing he was being too optimistic and overthinking things.

After all, Shen Qing has only been with "Hummingbird" for a short time, even compared to other members of the same batch, he has been there for almost half a month.

This is why he missed the training camp and was left to train separately at the branch.

Not to mention that kid, who was in the same batch as Xie Chong, but their cultivation time was almost two months different, and his cultivation speed was much faster.

Catching up in a week to take two months... is still too difficult.

"team leader?"

Shen Qing watched Fang Shu's expression shift between joy and sigh, and finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Huh? I'm fine," Fang Shu said, snapping out of his daze. He patted the man's shoulder. "Keep cultivating, I have high hopes for you in the assessment."

Dealing with those troublemakers is certainly not an easy task, but at least temporarily dampening their spirits is a good thing.

"This is considered personal funding from me."

As Fang spoke, he opened the Hummingbird APP contribution point redemption interface, his fingers swiping rapidly, but then he paused for a moment, as if remembering something.

"Wait, I can't be the only one paying."

He muttered to himself, and then suddenly ran out of the training room while Shen Qing looked on in confusion.

When they returned, the leader of the Night Owl team was also pulled over. After seeing the numbers on the force gauge, he stared wide-eyed in shock.

But then he hesitated.

"This level of strength is certainly enough to deal with the same batch of newcomers, but what about He Ying and the others..."

Physical talents are generally weaker, and coupled with the lack of training time, the Night Owl leader really couldn't see any chance of victory.

"So this is where your funding comes in," Fang Shu said matter-of-factly. "You're a D-level, so your contribution points are probably higher than mine, right?"

"Oh."

The Night Owl leader's lips twitched, but he didn't refuse, after all, this had almost become a major worry for them.

Finally, the two of them managed to gather four pills, each the size of a soybean and dark red in color.

"This is a Qi and Blood Pill used to assist F-level cultivation, but as you know, cultivation is just beginning, and so are pills."

Fang Shu explained, "It's best to take only one pill a week. Taking more than that might be too much for your body to handle, and the refining process is painful, which could easily lead to mistakes in your cultivation."

The leader of the Night Owl team nodded, "Take it slow and steady, don't be greedy, and don't rush things."

After Fang Shu and Night Owl left, the training room fell silent again.

Looking at the four pills in his hand, Shen Qing was a little stunned. How did he suddenly receive financial assistance?

One Qi and Blood Pill is worth ten contribution points, so four pills would be worth forty. He needs to resolve at least eight demon incidents, and he might not be able to gather forty contribution points in a month.

However, he was indeed very interested in curbing Night Owl's arrogance.

Shen Qing's lips curled up slightly. Who isn't a young person at heart?

Did he forget something?

……

The next day, Shen Qing did not go on patrol because of a dinner party that evening, and trained until 5 p.m.

After taking a shower and changing into casual clothes, I was ready to go out.

The dinner was to be held at a hot pot restaurant on the commercial street of their university town. It was close to dinner time and the street was bustling with people.

Because the surrounding area is full of students, prices are relatively low. In addition, on weekends, many office workers and tourists flock here.

If you don't make a reservation in advance, you might not be able to find a place to eat.

In the crowd, Shen Qing was looking down at her phone's location, "Yu Family Hot Pot Restaurant, this must be it."

He looked up to confirm the sign, then started looking around. Chen Chen and the others said they had arrived nearby.

Almost instantly, a particularly conspicuous figure came into view in the crowd.

Her long, waist-length red hair, in the setting sun, swayed gently like a ball of fire with her steps.

The vibrant hair color didn't look tacky at all; instead, it contrasted with her fair skin, giving off a passionate and flamboyant vibe.

Shen Qing stopped in her tracks.

The red-haired owner seemed to sense something, turned around, and revealed a delicate face.

The two locked eyes.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly cut through the noise of the crowd and reached Shen Qing's ears.

"Long time no see." Shen Qing nodded.

The two stood facing each other a few steps apart, with people coming and going around them, until a hand suddenly reached out from the side.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

The dorm leader's girlfriend, Su Xiaoxiao, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, angrily waving her hand to interrupt their staring contest. "There are other people around!"

"Oh, Little one."

Shen Qing then came to his senses, and his gaze shifted downwards, finally noticing his high school classmate who only reached his chest.

"What do you mean?!"

Feeling the strange gaze, Su Xiaoxiao instantly bristled, "Are you saying I'm short?!"

"How could that be?" Shen Qing quickly denied it, looking around for the others. "Where are the dorm leader and the others?"

"Here it is~"

A chilly sound came from the side.

Chen Chen, along with two other boys, appeared to the side carrying several cups of lemonade. The three of them had a surprisingly uniform expression, their eyes full of disgust.

"Don't you see anyone else?"

Chen Chen walked over and shoved a glass of lemon into Shen Qing's hand.

"They looked like they'd lost their souls," a roommate added. "If you didn't know better, you'd think you two were filming a movie, with slow-motion effects."

His voice sounded a little sour.

This is Chen Ming, another single guy in the dorm besides Chen Chen. The scene just now had a double effect on him.

The other boy was the dorm leader, Chen Xu. He pushed up his glasses, didn't say anything, but his expression was clearly one of disdain.

It's quite a coincidence that the three of them were known as the "Three Chens" in their college, shared the same surname, and even lived in the same dormitory.

Su Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.

Gu Jingshi didn't seem to care. He casually gathered his loose red hair behind his shoulder and looked at Shen Qing, saying, "What's wrong? After half a year, you've forgotten how to speak?"

"That's not the case."

Shen Qing shook her head, "It's just that we haven't had time yet."

"Let's go then." Gu Jingshi nodded, a smile unconsciously playing on his lips. "Isn't it tiring to stand at the door talking?"

After she finished speaking, she turned around gracefully and went into the hot pot restaurant first. Su Xiaoxiao quickly followed and took her arm.

"Yes, let's go inside and talk."

Dorm leader Chen Xu echoed, patting Shen Qing on the shoulder. Chen Chen and Chen Ming exchanged a glance and sandwiched Shen Qing between them as if escorting her.

The four of them also entered the hot pot restaurant.
