Chapter 180: #180 - The Hunt Begins

Not long after Zhang Yu returned to his apartment, he received a response from Xiong Haohan.

Xiong Haohan: Thank you, student Zhang Yu. The seeds you introduced this time are of excellent quality. The company is already processing the payment, and it will be sent to you today.

Before long, Zhang Yu received the 100,000 yuan commission, and he was overjoyed.

Zhang Yu calculated the money he had worked so hard to earn yesterday, and his savings had increased to almost 300,000 yuan.

However, Yu Xinghan had not yet replied to his message, which made Zhang Yu sigh and say, "I originally wanted to continue discussing the Spirit Realm with him, but does this guy never stop working once he starts? So diligent, no wonder he's a Golden Core disciple."

Several hours later, Zhang Yu received a message from Yu Xinghan.

Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu! This job really makes money, and it also helps with cultivation!

Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "This kid won't get addicted, will he? Did I harm him?"

Fu Ji said, "This is a hurdle he has to overcome anyway. Selling protein for money is better than him spending money somewhere and having to give away protein, right?"

Zhang Yu took the opportunity to ask about the Spirit Realm.

He received a generous reply from Yu Xinghan: It's a small matter. I'll give you a 50% discount on tomorrow's Spirit Realm cultivation as a thank you.

Zhang Yu felt the excitement in the other party's words.

Before he could reply, Yu Xinghan sent another message: Don't refuse, it's just a small amount of money. Wait a moment.

Yu Xinghan: Okay, I've already earned the money for the 50% discount.

Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "This kid... his Immortal Dao potential has become even more terrifying."

After agreeing on a time to log into the Spirit Realm with Yu Xinghan tomorrow, Zhang Yu knew that he would be hunting evil gods next, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although he had already decided not to act rashly without sufficient certainty, Zhang Yu still felt a sense of tension.

Zhang Yu asked, "Have you prepared the fake intelligence that will be sent through the Spirit Realm tomorrow?"

Fu Ji said, "We've discussed it so many times, how could I not be prepared?"

"But Zhang Yu, there's something I still have to say, even though you don't like to hear it."

"That is about Bai Zhenzhen... are you going to continue to hide information about the evil gods from her?"

Zhang Yu frowned upon hearing this, and said coldly, "You still want Ah Zhen to perform the ritual with you?"

Fu Ji said as a matter of course, "Why not?"

"With our current relationship, we are partners. Would I harm you?"

"Performing the ritual and obtaining potential enhancement, why can't we do such a good thing? If Bai Zhenzhen is given such an opportunity, do you think she would give it up?"

"With her being such a top student, and having such a good opportunity to improve her grades, I dare say she will be able to accept it quickly."

"As for betraying you or anything, with the friendship between you two, it's even more impossible."

"This is definitely a great thing for her, a great opportunity that can greatly increase her chances of passing the Foundation Establishment Examination."

"It's the same for you. Like this time hunting my colleague, if Bai Zhenzhen assists, the success rate will be even greater."

"This is mutually beneficial and a win-win situation. I don't understand why you are so unwilling?"

Zhang Yu's unwillingness was naturally reasonable.

Because according to Fu Ji's statement, the prerequisite for improving potential is to complete the contract ritual.

And the ritual itself must have the requirement of fulfilling the evil god's wishes. This is related to the essence of the ritual, which is the ritual rule set by the Evil God Kings, which even Fu Ji cannot change.

In other words, after Bai Zhenzhen's potential is stimulated, she will also be bound by the ritual.

Zhang Yu said, "What if after Ah Zhen completes the ritual, you casually make a few simple wishes and let her complete them on the spot?"

Fu Ji sighed, "If I could promise you, I would definitely promise."

"But the ritual is like a talisman, containing many rules that you can't change as you want."

"Every surge of wishes will be sensed by the Evil God Kings."

"If I casually consume all the wishes of a contractor, I will be regarded as being passive and sabotaging, and betraying the company's interests. Both Bai Zhenzhen and I will suffer the backlash of the ritual."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yu frowned even tighter, because he thought that if what Fu Ji said was not false, then erasing the influence of the ritual would be more troublesome than he originally thought.

Fu Ji said, "Zhang Yu, I'm always by your side, what are you worried about?"

"Without Bai Zhenzhen's help, and missing such an important combat force, what if you fail in hunting my colleague? Wouldn't that affect Bai Zhenzhen?"

"Besides, this is to make Bai Zhenzhen stronger, so that she can pass the Foundation Establishment Examination and have a chance to be admitted to the top ten universities. Shouldn't you let her choose for herself?"

Hearing about the Foundation Establishment Examination, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly in his heart.

It was precisely the pressure from those top Immortal Lords in the Foundation Establishment Examination, and the urgency of the second round of the Foundation Establishment Examination two months later... that forced him to promote the plan to hunt evil gods.

But even if he improves his potential, what about Ah Zhen? In her current state, will she be able to defeat those Immortal Lords in the future and pass the Foundation Establishment Examination?

If Ah Zhen was born into a prominent Songyang family, with her talent and strength, she would be able to enter the top ten universities even without taking the Foundation Establishment Certificate.

But as a poor person...

Zhang Yu felt that he couldn't make this decision for Bai Zhenzhen, so after thinking about it, he still gave the right to choose to Bai Zhenzhen.

...

Under the bridge that night.

When Bai Zhenzhen heard Zhang Yu's description of the evil gods, she was surprised and said, "Evil gods? Isn't this stuff an urban legend? Are they real?"

Fu Ji, who was on Zhang Yu's neck, turned into a doll and said, "Of course they are real. Zhang Yu's potential was stimulated by me."

Looking at the talking doll, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes widened suddenly, and she was shocked.

After another explanation, after confirming that Zhang Yu was not controlled by the evil god, and confirming that the evil god in front of her was temporarily not dangerous, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly became fiery.

The look in her eyes seemed to be saying to Zhang Yu: You kid finally opened! You opened for so long before bringing me along? I already lent you my True Spirit Root to play with a long time ago.

Fu Ji asked, "So, if you perform a wish-granting ritual to stimulate your potential, would you be willing to do it?"

Since participating in the Foundation Establishment Examination, Bai Zhenzhen has felt a surge of pressure chasing her from behind.

No matter how fast she progressed, or how bravely she advanced, she always felt it was not enough.

Hearing what Fu Ji said at this moment, Bai Zhenzhen said with bright eyes, "Is that even a question? I can't wait to improve my potential right now."

Zhang Yu sighed secretly, as expected, but he still warned, "But after the ritual is completed, you have to grant her three wishes. Like before, this guy's first wish was for me to fulfill a thousand wishes for her. These evil gods are all ill-intentioned."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and said, "But aren't you temporarily controlling her now?"

"Yu, I must be admitted to the top ten universities."

"Since there is now a way to increase the probability of this matter, and it doesn't cost me money, then taking a risk or something... I'm willing."

"This is my own choice, and even if something goes wrong in the future, I will pay the price myself."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly: "I understand."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Fu Ji and said, "Then let's start? Is it okay here? Quickly improve my potential."

Fu Ji smiled awkwardly and said, "My current strength is too weak to do these things."

"Before improving the potential for you and Zhang Yu, we have to hunt another evil god."

...

The next day.

When Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan logged into the Spirit Realm together and came to the Questioning Hall again not long after.

Inside a dilapidated apartment.

The screen of an old computer suddenly flickered slightly, revealing lines of information, all of which seemed to be about Zhang Yu's intelligence.

A scruffy man with a beard was attracted to it.

The man's name was Li Quan. He was a high school graduate who had been working for many years. After being optimized by the company at the age of 50, he is currently a top deliveryman.

But he also has a secret identity, which is a follower of an evil god.

And at this moment, the evil god who signed a contract with him is maintaining the appearance of a bear doll, sitting in the corner of the room, seriously playing games.

Li Quan looked at the evil god and said, "Master, Song Xu sent a message from the Shadow Gu that you asked him to cast."

The bear doll nodded indifferently: "Uh-huh."

Li Quan could only ask again: "What should we do next?"

The doll clicked his tongue and impatiently pressed the pause button, and said, "Was it sent from the puppet machine?"

Li Quan nodded: "It jumped three puppet machines before sending the intelligence. The other party should not have discovered our location."

The doll sighed: "Oh, it's really troublesome. That Song Xu is too hardworking. Why is he so desperately working?"

The bear doll's name is Huoshan. Although he is an evil god, unlike Fu Ji, who is wholeheartedly climbing up, thinking about wealth freedom and cultivation freedom, Huoshan has always felt that it is good to be in the first level.

Why bother to roll up? In the end, the big head is not earned by the Evil God King?

On the contrary, it is safe to stay in the first level. You don't need to go to work, and you don't need to do temporary work. If you lack money, believers will work for him.

The housework at home can also be done by the most loyal believers for free.

As for what is missing or lacking... In short, believers can work hard to buy it for him.

Although it is not rich and expensive, the days of staying at home to eat, drink and play every day are enough for him.

At least in Huoshan's view, this kind of life is not better than rolling to death, and constantly fighting for performance on the evil god road?

So his goal for a long time in the past was to sign social cattle and horses, specifically looking for some couriers, takeaway workers, and construction site cattle and horses to sign, which can both make money for him, and are not easy to attract attention, and no one cares if they die, and they are relatively easy to deceive.

It wasn't until Huoshan signed Song Xu that the situation began to change.

"That Song Xu... is too rolled up."

"Oh, why don't we just forget about hunting colleagues this time? It feels too troublesome. What if we overturn? Isn't this day pretty good now?"
