Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

"Um... Boss, I've joined the Cultivator Management Bureau." White Wolf turned to the side, avoiding the girl who had inexplicably bumped into him.

"You got caught? How could you be so careless!" The woman's voice suddenly became tense.

But just a second later, her voice became unusually calm: "I know someone who can get you out of trouble. But they won't help for nothing; you'll have to stay with her for a while afterward..."

"No, no," White Wolf quickly explained, "I've gone ashore and am now a contract worker for the Cultivator Management Bureau."

"...Weren't you arrested?"

"Really not." The white wolf frowned. "Why do you seem a little disappointed?"

"Get lost!" The woman's voice turned cold again. "Then why did you call me? Are you planning to confiscate my goods?"

"How could that be? This kind of thing is useless for cultivators," White Wolf quickly explained.

"You fucking went out of your way to find out?" the woman's voice roared in anger.

"No! I just overheard it. Boss, please don't be angry. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death long ago. How could I do something so ungrateful!"

The white wolf repeatedly reassured him.

He paused, then added, "What I mean is, I'm preparing to resign."

The woman's voice paused for a moment, then said, "Keep working, and I'll give you a five-fold raise."

"I've gone ashore, and I'm a cultivator now..." White Wolf was a little shaken.

"A mere temporary worker dares to call himself a cultivator? Fine! Now you're all high and mighty, too proud to lower yourself to carry a pig's trotter." The female voice was full of disdain.

"Sis, that pig's trotter you're talking about is smuggled!"

White Wolf switched the phone to his other ear: "I don't mind continuing to help you with your work. But my roommate can read minds! Are you sure you want to keep letting me know those addresses?"

"That's... what the hell is that roommate?!"

The woman on the other end clearly threw something: "I'll think about it some more. Don't change your phone number, and don't disappear. I know where you live!"

"No! But I've moved to the Monk Administration Bureau too... Hey?

White Wolf checked his phone and found that the other party had already hung up.

This wasn't the first time he'd been hung up on, and he didn't think much of it.

However, another prompt popped up on the panel.

[Rejecting material temptations for the sake of martial arts]

[Gain temporary buff: Increases the effectiveness of the "Water and Wood Cloud Yang Skill" by 2000% for 24 hours]

[Since the original gain still exists, it will be replenished to the maximum limit.]

[Temporary buff: Increases Shui Mu Yun Yang Gong cultivation speed by 2000%; 23 hours and 59 minutes remaining]

This is essentially just making up for lost time in the afternoon.

That's a bit of a waste.

But the white wolf got used to it.

He just sighed, then ran all the way to the canteen and bought a bunch of raw materials directly at the internal price.

……

"Those who want lemon tea, please line up first; those who want milk tea, please wait your turn."

The white wolf held the transparent jar with his left hand and used an iron pestle in his right hand to forcefully pound the lemon.

Every strike was delivered with full force.

In just a few moments, the ice cubes shattered, and lemon juice naturally seeped into them, giving them a pale green hue.

Then add freshly brewed green tea and syrup, and a dozen or so cups of lemon tea are ready.

"I must say, the Yunyang Skill is indeed suitable for manual laborers; the recovery speed is too fast."

With his face swollen like a pig's head, but already fully conscious, Lü Kui held a piece of fried chicken and sighed softly.

After returning to the classroom, he heard that White Wolf was planning to treat everyone to drinks.

For no apparent reason, Lü Kui felt a strange sense of crisis.

So he also said he'd treat everyone to fried chicken.

Because all three referees had already left.

Let's just occupy the classroom and have a meal together to catch up with each other.

White Wolf cleaned the contents of the pot and then began to mix milk, concentrated cream, and tea in the correct proportions.

Hearing Lü Kui's sarcastic tone, he raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with Yunyang Gong? It prolongs life and keeps you at your peak physical strength. I think it's pretty good."

"I heard that after this year's martial arts exam, the East Region will promote Yunyang Gong to all citizens."

Li Qi picked up her lemon tea and took a sip.

The perfect balance of sweet and sour made her eyes squint like a little fox.

"It might not be Yunyang Gong." A bald boy picked up a cup of lemon tea and gulped down more than half of it.

The white wolf looked over.

He remembered that the boy's name was Ji Huaiguang, and he was ranked second in terms of martial arts skills.

Ji Huaiguang said calmly, "If the ranking of practitioners of basic cultivation techniques in a certain region is too low, that technique will be considered worthless and will be replaced by techniques from other regions."

"Really?" Everyone looked over.

"Isn't it said that each region develops according to its own traditions?" White Wolf asked casually as he poured the nearly brewed black tea into another pot.

"The proposal was initiated by the Thorn Faction. They cultivate 'Divine Hymns,' which can gather power through the light of believers to unleash 'Divine Descent,' and requires basic practitioners in particular."

Ji Huaiguang finished one cup in two gulps and then very naturally picked up the second cup.

Seeing that everyone was unconvinced, he pursed his lips and continued.

"Don't underestimate the Thorn Sect, which spans several regions. If they have enough followers, they really can create a 'god'. If the alien crisis gets worse, we might even have to switch to the Holy Hymns."

"impossible."

Upon hearing this, Jing Xi, who was said to be the strongest by a wide margin, suddenly spoke up.

This aloof and cold girl didn't even look at anyone.

She just stared at the pot of tea that the white wolf was pouring back and forth: "Who can guarantee that 'god' is under control? Besides, the United Government has always been wary of this kind of 'savior' mentality."

"What?"

This was the first time anyone had heard such a statement.

Everyone who cultivates has fantasized about the world gradually sinking, and themselves turning the tide.

Now you're telling me we still have to play in a team competition?

Jingxi's eyes followed the tea as it moved from left to right and then from right to left: "I don't know the specifics. But the coalition government clearly prefers down-to-earth heroes who rise through the ranks by accumulating merits little by little."

The group exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

The problem is not big.

I am an ordinary citizen.

It won't affect my future.

White Wolf put down the half-warm water jug ​​he was holding and suddenly blurted out, "Is it because the United Government once fell into a trap?"

He recalled the question the teacher hadn't answered during the theory class that morning.

It seems strange that even the strongest human being cannot mention internal lessons.

Furthermore, given the current inclinations of the coalition government, it's likely that they've had a painful experience with this.

"I don't know." Jingxi did not answer.

She turned her gaze to the white wolf, "How much longer until the milk tea?"

"Soon." White Wolf quickly mixed the various ingredients.

In just twenty seconds, more than a dozen cups of pale yellow milk tea were ready.

Jingxi took the first cup openly and then walked out of the classroom, thus ending the discussion.

As the crowd dispersed, the white wolf was satisfied.

Wasting one minute to significantly boost the class's favorability is a huge win!

He took out his phone and glanced at it.

There wasn't a single message on the old phone.

It seems the boss hasn't found a suitable job yet.

So the white wolf followed the crowd and headed towards the dining hall.

……

As soon as I arrived at the canteen, Deng Yi was already waiting for me.

She took out two bowls of soup and a small test tube: "This is cow's blood and chicken's blood. This bottle contains pig's blood with added sodium citrate. Try them and see what the difference is."

The white wolf swallowed them all.

Cow blood can increase strength and physical fitness slightly.

Chicken blood increases agility by a little.

The pig's blood was no different from what I ate at noon; it was the same for my constitution.

Eating all three together results in an increase of one in each of the three dimensions, without creating a situation where two points of constitution are present.

"The condition of the blood does not affect the effect, but the same type cannot be stacked. It seems I'll have to make you a special water bottle in the future."

Deng Yi wrote down all the information.

She had just finished getting the food when Fang Chi rushed over with Cen Feiyu.

"Pack up the food! We have a mission." Fang Chi shouted from afar, "The candidates from the Nanyang region have arrived early. White Wolf, they've designated you to handle the reception. Come with me."

White Wolf replied immediately, "Yes!"

Deng Yi should have been used to this kind of scene by now.

In less than ten seconds, a lunchbox was handed over, with two red test tubes attached to it.

"One bottle of cow's blood, one bottle of chicken's blood. Be smart!" Deng Yi winked.

The white wolf took it.

The three of them hurriedly ran outside.
