Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 44 - 41: Being Human is Hard, Being a Dog is Tough
Chapter 44: Chapter 41: Being Human is Hard, Being a Dog is Tough
The entire detection process took less than forty minutes from start to finish.
As the instrument’s vibrations gradually subsided, the arm rotated, and the chamber opened.
Qin Shi leapt out, took a deep breath, and swiftly put on his short-sleeve shirt and pants.
"Just as I thought, the progress shown on the panel and the precise feedback data reflect my current life energy level."
Fifteen points!
Nearing the pass mark for an Eighth Rank amateur!
Qin Shi clasped his hands and made a virtual fist.
The large tendons hidden beneath his skin and flesh, like dormant dragons, were filled with robust power.
He distinctly felt that the nascent stage of tendon breaking limits was not yet complete.
It just lacked sufficient energy to fill this mortal body, causing it to temporarily enter a "dormant" state.
"It’s like an untrained person needing to do stretches to wake their body and activate muscle groups."
A look of yearning appeared in Qin Shi’s eyes as he thought about the high-energy foods only elite class students could afford.
"Nutritional paste isn’t quite enough; it only provides a sense of fullness and prevents hunger."
Those elite class students consumed around 250 grams of high-energy food daily at most.
As for himself, with the [Overgrowth] achievement trait, he could devour that every day until he was full to the brim.
Then push his life energy up by another two or three points!
"The rich have their training methods, the poor have theirs."
Qin Shi pushed aside stray thoughts and continued to consolidate his Old Martial foundation, aiming to break through the Seven Great Limits of the mortal body.
Sooner or later, he’d catch up with the top students in the elite class!
"Assistant Qin, do you feel any discomfort?"
Lin Yunqing asked with concern.
At this moment, in her eyes, Qin Shi was a valuable walking gold mine, not to be treated lightly.
If her brother Lin Xiaohan hadn’t been joking, achieving both "spirituality" and "vitality" in a mortal body was extremely difficult.
More of one often meant less of the other.
An anomaly like Assistant Qin, who balanced both body and spirit, could very well be the next He Lanchan.
Even if he wasn’t among the first ten elites, like the Teenage Stone Buddha, with the right marketing, he could still win public love and admiration.
"He definitely won’t be worse off than Yu Li. That guy managed to become the Star Cup newcomer king just by relying on the title of Lian Yixing’s closed-door disciple! Earning tens of millions in prizes and endorsements every year, sucking in money like crazy!"
Lin Yunqing secretly considered that Qin Shi had too many "highlight" points.
He had humble origins, outstanding looks, and was a dual-cultivation Old Martial genius possessing qualifications to become a Martial Artist, Mechanic, or a Spiritual Ability User!
"I feel great, no problems at all."
Qin Shi silently crossed out the debt he owed the b**** woman from the Youth Palace trying to get him to take the fall.
"I haven’t even thanked Teacher Lin for helping with the test, I’m really sorry for the trouble."
A comprehensive life energy test at a high-end Cultivation Hall or major medical center wouldn’t cost less than a thousand yuan.
For someone as thrifty as Qin Shi, this was undoubtedly a big win!
"No trouble, no trouble at all! We’re colleagues, helping each other is only natural!"
Lin Yunqing’s smile was so bright that it was hard to keep down, like the corners of her mouth were pulled up by an AK.
She touched her swollen eye socket, thinking it was worth taking that punch!
Landing such a rare Old Martial talent like Assistant Qin!
"Assistant Qin, it’s getting late..."
Lin Yunqing hinted heavily.
Was the b**** woman happy even after being hit?
Could she have awakened some special fetish?
Seeing Teacher Lin touch her face so joyfully, Qin Shi was puzzled.
He cleverly took the lead:
"Yes, it is quite late. Teacher Lin, I should also head back..."
Lin Yunqing cut him off abruptly, moving closer:
"How about staying over tonight?
Although I can’t cook, I have some canned food at home; we can make do.
It’s not safe for you, a young man, to take the car home this late."
Instinctively, Qin Shi took half a step back, avoiding Lin Yunqing’s increasingly near perfect face, thinking:
"Why does it feel more dangerous staying here! Could this b**** woman desire my body? Losing the fight, does she now want to reclaim the win in other ways?"
Before the life energy test, Lin Yunqing treated him with curiosity and appreciation.
Now it had turned into an excessive eagerness and warmth,
like a devoted fan who checks in morning and night asking their goddess if they want milk tea!
This made Qin Shi add "Masochistic Pervert" to the labels "Tai’an Rich Sister" and "b**** woman."
"No, that’s not necessary."
With a business smile on his face, he politely declined.
Joking aside, he had to work as a part-time server at the Midnight Imperial Palace later!
How could he ignore the guaranteed two or three hundred in tips to have a meal at her place?
Woman?
Heh heh.
She’d only slow down his work!
"You’ve been busy all day; you need to eat something."
Lin Yunqing knew Qin Shi was immune to charms, so she resorted to a different tactic:
"I’ll open some high-energy food cans from the United Group; after you finish eating, I’ll drive you home."
High-energy food?
Qin Shi paused his retreat, like a student being held back by a red envelope during the New Year:
"Well, Teacher Lin makes a good point. Actually, I’m not in a rush.
Since we’re here, might as well give it a try."
...

The old apartment building behind the Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School was the teacher’s dormitory back in the day.
Nowadays, most have moved to more spacious family quarters with heating systems installed.
This area had since fallen into disrepair, and from the outside, only a few scattered lights flickered, unable to pierce the dense night.
