Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 46: Why Is Su Yuan So Bad?!
"Snatching red packets? Why should there be red packet snatching in a proper martial arts competition?"
Principal Zhang Youde was somewhat unable to keep up with Taibai Phecda’s thinking.
This Master Taibai seems even more unreliable than his daughter!
Taibai Phecda explained:
"Principal Zhang, you know me well, the level of these youngsters at the Qi Cultivation Stage, I can see it at a glance, whether they make a move or not makes no difference to me."
"I have them snatch red packets for two reasons."
"Firstly, to test the students’ reaction speed. To achieve success in martial arts, one must be exceptionally quick, always a step ahead of others."
"Secondly, to see how their personal fate is. No matter how good a phone is, the internet speed can fluctuate, causing the appearance time of red packets to be inconsistent."
"Whose phone can refresh the red packet first shows they have good luck."
Zhang Youde: "..."
Damn it, there’s actually some sense to this.
As for why Taibai would be fixated on the students’ fate?
If it were someone else, Zhang Youde might question it, but for Taibai Phecda, known for his industry insights, believing this is just too normal.
Finally, Zhang Youde had no choice but to agree to this red packet snatching tournament.
He had eight participating students add his contact information and brought them and Taibai Phecda into a group chat.
Su Yuan held his phone, looking at the newly joined group chat, feeling incredibly conflicted.
This Master Taibai hosting a red packet snatching competition likely has more than just those two purposes he mentioned.
There’s surely an element of revenge against him in there! Absolutely!
Thinking about how his supposed winning chance dropped from a certainty to one-eighth, Su Yuan felt a headache.
He looked at his phone, an old model from three years ago, its surface carrying scars of these years.
Looking at others’ phones, damn it, all of them are new models from this year.
The Spiritual Network may fluctuate, but clearly, new phones have faster internet speed!
His actual winning chance might be less than one in eighty.
"How am I supposed to win this?"
Su Yuan felt enveloped in darkness.
But just as the red packet tournament was about to start, a bright idea suddenly struck him.
Would his phone count as a magical treasure in the system’s judgment?
Could Demon Technique·Finger Weapon be used on a phone?
This thing, the phone, is considered a modern culmination of Cultivation Technology, so why not considered a magical treasure?
With that thought, Su Yuan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately activated Demon Technique·Finger Weapon!
In the next moment, along with the consumption of spiritual power, Su Yuan unexpectedly formed a mystical connection with his phone.
Demon Technique·Finger Weapon activation was a success!
A virtual affinity data appeared hovering above the phone.
[Affinity: 220]!
Seeing this astounding affinity and feeling the faint sentiment of attachment emanating from his phone’s weak emotions, Su Yuan was moved!
Even if you don’t count the 100 affinity automatically added by the demon technique, his phone still had a 120 affinity towards him, entirely meeting the conditions for activating Machine Soul Joy.
Su Yuan couldn’t help but recall a saying.
A phone’s lifespan is 3 to 5 years, whereas a cultivator’s lifespan is over 100 years. A phone is merely a passerby in a cultivator’s eyes, but to a phone, you are its whole life.
So, put down the busy chores beside you, and spend more time with your phone!
So did Su Yuan accomplish that?
He did!
Being a poor guy, he dared not travel or go to entertainment venues to spend; the only thing he could do during rest was accompany his phone.
Is it still called a phone?
The clever ones already call it their wife!
"Help me once more, please."
Su Yuan gazed gently at the treasure that had accompanied him the longest, whispering softly.
The faint will from the phone also began to respond to Su Yuan’s expectations at all costs!
At this moment, their consciousness merged together, Unity of Man and Machine!
Machine Soul Joy!
Explode, my love!
In the instant following, Taibai Phecda lowered his finger hovering over the phone, successfully sending the red packet.
Almost simultaneously, all eight participating students received red packet notifications on their phones!
A finger tap!
Less than a tenth of a second after loading, the red packet opened, and the contestants looked intently, revealing seven big words on the red packet!
[Too slow, the red packets are gone]
"WTF!"
Someone exclaimed, hastily looking toward the account that claimed the red packet.
AAA Su Yuan (Part-time @ Taihua High School)
The person’s avatar was a densely written sheet of paper.
Writing assignments for others, delivering food, carrying, sorting deliveries, serving as a waiter, barbecue chef, milk tea shop attendant, delivery worker, security guard, passing out flyers...
What the hell is all this!
After quite a while, they finally found Su Yuan’s name in the advertisement-filled account.
They all turned their heads towards Su Yuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, appearing to have a domineering presence.
The hem of his clothes was slightly dirty.
"What the heck, how can this Su Yuan be so cunning!"
One contest participant was speechless.
Snatching red packets shouldn’t involve cheating, right? Does this count as winning by skill or winning by luck?
Taibai Phecda carefully looked at the person who claimed the red packet, then looked at his daughter who had somehow moved beside him.
Only to see the white-haired Lolita staring excitedly at Su Yuan, as if she were gazing at a mountain of gold, making the old father quite jealous.
"Evil, too evil! Big Brother can even CPU a magical treasure! How many more surprises does he have hidden that I don’t know about?"
The white-haired Lolita looked at the phone in Su Yuan’s hand that was emanating black aura, her golden eyes shining brightly.
The little girl put one hand on her hip, the finger of her other hand sweeping over the seven failed contest participants, sneering:
"I’ve already said before, in front of Brother Su Yuan, you guys are nothing but smelly fish and rotten shrimp, and now, you’ve brought shame upon yourselves."
Su Yuan: "..."
Still propping him up! Still propping him up!
Someone, please control this little female demon!
Faced with the repeated sarcasm from the white-haired Lolita, the usually hot-tempered Huang Sheng finally couldn’t take it anymore!
But standing in front of Taibai Phecda, this Master Golden Core, he certainly dared not directly attack the white-haired Lolita.
"Su Yuan, you’re the winner of this martial arts competition, right? If you have the guts, come spar with me!"
Huang Sheng shouted loudly, charging directly at Su Yuan with a punch.
Clearly thinking that the martial arts competition was nearing its end, he wanted to take risks to show off a bit.
It must be said, Huang Sheng’s sudden punch was quite skillful, not to mention its force and heaviness, even his fist technique had achieved great success.
Facing this overwhelmingly powerful figure, Su Yuan took a deep breath, the negative emotions absorbed through Fury Heart Attack at this moment entirely transformed into augmenting power.
The extreme augment reaching 60% of the cultivator’s own strength was pulled to the maximum at this moment!
The next moment, Su Yuan concentrated the explosive force within his body into a single combined force, neither dodging nor evading, throwing a punch head-on towards Huang Sheng’s approaching fist!
Boom——
With a sharp screech slicing through the air, the crisp sound of bone cracking, Huang Sheng, the athletic student weighing over two hundred pounds, flew backwards like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the sports field.
He rolled on the ground like he had no bones for over ten rotations, eventually stopping motionlessly.
"Phew, finally satisfying."
Su Yuan slowly retracted his still-smoking fist, his face filled with satisfaction.
