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

"You did a good job this time."

Li Feng patted Shen Qing on the shoulder and looked up to see members of Night Owl and Hummingbird gathered in twos and threes, chatting and joking.

They boasted to each other about how well they had cooperated and how amazing they had been.

Although there is still a slight distance between the two groups, it is far from the point of resolving the conflict.

It's significantly better than the previous situation of mutual hostility.

Fighting side by side when lives are threatened can be a powerful adhesive; that's why people say that those who have fought side by side have the strongest bond.

It can be said that the right time, the right place, and the right people all came together. After being suppressed and provoked by Shen Qing, and then encountering the demon incident, this situation was brought about.

This kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time.

"alright."

A middle-aged team leader clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "The assessment is over. Now, let's announce the results!"

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up, clenching their fists, because most of them had not independently killed a real demon.

The middle-aged team leader didn't keep them in suspense any longer; a smirk played on his lips as he loudly announced:

"Everyone present passed the assessment during this training camp!"

"..."

"I passed! I passed!"

"Damn, that scared me to death! I thought I was going to fail the test!"

After a moment of silence, the abandoned village erupted in cheers.

In the virtual world, they had already defeated the demons stipulated in the assessment, and now that blood has been drawn, it would be unreasonable to still judge them as having failed the assessment.

As the cheers subsided, the trainees all turned to look at Shen Qing.

However, unlike the previous apprehension and hostility, their gazes seemed to hold something indescribable, as if it were recognition or even submission.

Anyway, it's no longer a rejection.

……

evening.

Shen Qing lay on the bed looking at his phone, thinking that he had been out for a day and a night and wondered how the heroine was doing.

He thought for a moment, then decided to ask, "What are you doing?"

"Learning to read".

After a long while, two words were typed out. Looking at the screen, Shen Qing could imagine the female warrior frowning as she typed each word carefully.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She has only recently mastered all the pinyin characters and often needs to refer to books.

"...That's all?"

Shen Qing pressed further, "Don't you have anything to say about the game?"

He looked at the visibly diminished amount of Haver coins in his Delta account, and the record of twenty consecutive failed withdrawals.

He couldn't bear to look at those results anymore.

"Playing games is fine, but isn't this taking a bit too long? I told you to take it slow, there's no rush. Making money from this isn't something that can be done in a day or two."

Also, be careful with your cola, drink less!

After teaching the heroine how to order takeout, she was able to order a Coke by herself.

Since there would be a second round of assessments tomorrow, Shen Qing didn't chat much, gave a few instructions, and then put away her phone.

"However, the heroine is still learning to read; she's quite diligent."

……

Looking at the last sentence in the chat box, "Take a rest," Shen Qingtang seemed to look around guiltily.

Only after confirming that Shen Qing wouldn't suddenly jump out from that corner did I switch the interface, where the Baidu Encyclopedia definition was prominently displayed.

"Girlfriend" refers to a romantic partner.

In popular culture, "cat-like girlfriend" is a description of a girlfriend's personality: silent towards strangers but intimately dependent on her lover...

Shen Qing said she wanted to try to understand this world herself, but it's all so strange, she can't understand it.

This whole "feeding" thing is just nonsense.

Then, she took out a pinyin dictionary and typed out each character one by one.

"Why would you be considered my girlfriend?"

"..."

Shen Qingtang, who had been staring blankly at her phone, suddenly snapped out of her daze, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

She instinctively got up and reached for the waist knife beside her.

I only feel safe when Shen Qing isn't around.

"Bang!"

The windows on the second floor shattered, and two people, bundled up tightly, broke through the window and escaped. The glass, which had just been replaced, was broken into pieces again.

"The walking dead!"

Upon seeing the exposed bluish-gray skin, Shen Qingtang's pupils contracted, and she dodged the claws of a walking corpse.

The sofa was instantly torn open, the foam flipped out, revealing the wooden frame underneath.

Seeing this, Shen Qingtang bit her tongue without hesitation, spitting a mouthful of blood onto her waist knife, and fiercely slashed at the walking corpse that was rushing at her again.

With a "sizzle," the blade struck the zombie's shoulder, instantly sending sparks flying.

Shen Qingtang frowned; this was not the lowest level of naturally formed zombie.

Just as she was considering how to continue fighting the two zombies, a noise suddenly came from the direction of the gate.

"Damn, no wonder the captain told us to be careful here; they actually dared to come looking for us!"

"It was the same with my older brother and sister-in-law, and it was the same here, but thankfully we both came up empty-handed."

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Magic Symbols: Fossils as Soldiers!"

The security door was kicked open, and several blue talismans fell to the ground, instantly transforming into several thick stone chains that shot out from the floor and tightly bound the limbs of the two zombies.

Shen Qingtang glanced at the waist knife in her hand and threw it under the sofa without hesitation.

He rolled over and hid behind the sofa.

Several members of the Hummingbird team followed Xie Chong in, cursing and swearing, their faces full of resentment at being made to work overtime by these demons.

Following closely behind was a young man in ancient costume, none other than Li Jianghan.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the mess inside the room. "The mastermind behind this hasn't shown up yet. Has they finally gotten their brains?"

Before he finished speaking, several more stone spears appeared out of thin air, instantly piercing through the walking corpse.

"A mere F-rank, a piece of cake!"

Xie Chong turned around with a smile, and was stunned when he saw Shen Qingtang peeking out with half her head out, staring at them warily.

"No, we didn't come to the wrong place."

He looked at the large, memorable yellow gate that had been kicked away, and then checked the door number again.

"Um?"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?!"

Thinking back to the noise he thought was a hallucination when he first came, and the tightly closed side bedroom door, Xie Chong's eyes widened, and he stammered.

Is Shen Qing really keeping a mistress? And what's the situation with that young lady from the Gu family?

Shen Qingtang remained silent. Although she recognized this as Shen Qing's colleague, she knew that saying too much would only lead to trouble.

"You know Shen Qing, right?"

Xie Chong asked again, and seeing Shen Qingtang nod but still look wary, he realized that it was normal to be scared when suddenly encountering demons and a group of strangers.

He then stopped talking to anyone and instructed the support staff to clean up the scene.

"This house is in such a dilapidated state, there's no point in repairing it. It seems more appropriate to just compensate it."

"Anyway, they're probably moving out soon. What a waste. Shen Qing is so lucky to be the first household in the new complex."

Xie Chong muttered a few words, then waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, time to go home!"

Goodbye, sister-in-law.

He turned around, greeted Shen Qingtang, and then prepared to leave with his people.

Li Jianghan, who had been silent all along, frowned and looked over, sensing that something was amiss.

"Aren't you supposed to erase the memories of ordinary people?"

Xie Chong was taken aback, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh right, I almost forgot."

Was he so confused from working overtime late at night? Or was he startled by the news of Shen Qing keeping a mistress? So he didn't notice for a moment.

But why don't they seem to have noticed?
