Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 100 - 88: Super Power Bank, Legendary Talent (Two in One!)

Chapter 100: Chapter 88: Super Power Bank, Legendary Talent (Two in One!)

Qin Shi was dazzled by the shimmering golden light, staring blankly at the circuit board in his hand. Ze, what exactly did you uncover? Advanced legendary materials?

So many premium modifiers for the Martial Arts Path!

It’s probably not some "ninety-nine percent new, original Martial God flavor," right?

"I heard from Luo Jie that Qin Lihao acquired some advanced textbooks that were lost at the disciples’ school years ago, intending to give them to Chen Ruofu as a gift, so he went to Jiushong Port."

In a twist of fate, Cheng Ze’s irreversible flesh rust became a life-saving medicine. Otherwise, the severe chest wound and the heavy bleeding would have ended him.

"Greed led to a major mistake. I didn’t expect that the container, which stored the textbooks and concealed their aura, would be something cursed with an Electronic Demon. The moment I touched it, I became enticed.

I initially planned to pull off a job and then escape, becoming a traveling merchant, but it ended like this..."

Cheng Ze leaned against the wall with a bitter smile, looking down at his charred skin.

In my current state, it’s hard to still be called "human," right?

"Ze, let’s honestly confess and strive for leniency. Even if we have to spend a few years in jail, it’s better than becoming a mechanical life form that’s neither human nor ghost. At least we’ll retain our minds,"

Qin Shi comforted him kindly.

Having read Dongxia’s criminal law thoroughly, he felt that Cheng Ze’s situation wasn’t as severe as some might think, not to the point of immediate execution without a trial.

The determination of guilt would depend on how the Urban Circle’s Inspection Department decided to handle it.

After all, aside from the unlucky Qin Family of Yan City, there seemed to be no other victims at the moment.

However, the ones who most likely wouldn’t let this go and would chase it to the end were no other than the Qin Family.

Private possession of forbidden items stained with demonic aura and illegal possession of textbooks from the disciples’ school, without reporting to the Martial Arts Association... all of these are quite severe accusations.

Any single charge pursued earnestly could peel off a layer of the Qin Family’s skin.

"Shi, holding that thing, didn’t you hear the terrifying whisper with a bewitching nature?"

Cheng Ze was not worried about the potential judgment or treatment; he was ready to accept it willingly.

He was more curious about how Qin Shi remained calm and unaffected by the Electronic Demon.

The Martial Arts Path, with life force not yet at the Specialized Level and rather average spiritual strength, should be vulnerable.

Unless one’s own spirit was extraordinarily steadfast, unyielding to external interference, remaining unmoved.

If that were truly the case, Liang’s teacher’s closed-door disciple was indeed exceptional to the point where jealousy couldn’t even arise.

"It was muttering continuously, quite noisy. But it was nothing more than noise, no other feelings,"

Qin Shi answered truthfully. Since he gripped the circuit board, an invisible wave had been entwining with him, like a ghost whispering.

Mostly, it was a lot of meaningless gibberish like "flesh is weak", "serve me", "follow my will, respond to the Mechanical Heart"—the kind of monotonous content.

With the attribute of Electronic Mind, Qin Shi felt not only no disturbance in his heart but even a hint of disdain and contempt.

Is this the level of the Electronic Demon?

It’s not even as good as the real estate agents on Old Factory Street! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Saying the same few lines repeatedly like a broken record, how could it allure anyone?

"Keep yapping, and I’ll devour you in one bite!"

Qin Shi silently threatened.

The circuit board quivered slightly, seemingly understanding, and fell silent.

"If it weren’t for a flesh and blood sluggishness negative effect, I’d guarantee one bite to finish it off."

Qin Shi felt a bit regretful. For in his ingredient classification, this circuit board was a mid-quality tonic.

Swallowing it would not only grant essential talents like Electronic Perception and Mechanical Affinity necessary for cultivating mechanical systems but also a chance to achieve certification as a Mechanical Apprentice.

Equivalent to adding an enhancement to the Working Warrior achievement and boosting his life force cultivation speed.

Profitable!

A win!

"But being a member of the Old Martial Sect, focusing on the Martial Arts Path led by flesh activation, having this debuff is somewhat painful."

Qin Shi sighed, struggling to make a decision.

As for that Golden Legend Level super meal, he couldn’t help but lick his lips.

That would surely fill him up!

It was his first occasion, rarely having doubts about which part to start eating and the concern of possibly bloating his stomach.

"It’s safer to consult Teacher Liang."

Qin Shi chose prudence, restraining the intense cravings emitted by all his cells. He shouted downward:

"Yun, I’ve wrapped things up. Get the Inspection Department to clean up the scene quickly!"

With his mind struck by the Electronic Demon, Cheng Ze’s consciousness began to blur.

Before passing out, he made a point to remind:

"That textbook is crucial, Shi. Although the Qin Family doesn’t dare to let the Urban Circle know the detail, they’ll definitely keep an eye on you, attempting to retrieve it from you. Be cautious, avoid direct conflicts if possible."

...

...

In the temporary command room, witnessing Qin Shi stab Cheng Ze from behind with a hand blade, interrupting the Electronic Demon’s signal reception and completely halting the "Ascension Ceremony", Chen Ruofu remarked:

"Scary young talent."

He didn’t fully understand how Qin Shi bypassed the ubiquitous electronic sentries, mistakenly thinking the kid swept through invincibly, fighting his way seven times in and out, culminating in a solo beheading of the leader.

"Minister, do we continue with the red alert plan?"

The secretary asked quietly.

"Put it on hold for now. Get the Inspection Department to rush to the site to confirm whether the crisis is truly resolved."

Chen Ruofu secretly sighed with relief. Although initiating a destructive strike to kill the barely mature Electronic Demon in its cradle was a justified tactical execution, in such positions, decisions always need to consider the subsequent impact.
