In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

"I knew it! You really had no choice in the matter!"

Looking at the girl's tearful expression, Wang Qiu's eyes were filled with anger.

"How exactly did Su Yuan force you?"

"Don't be afraid, tell me everything, and I will seek justice for you."

He tried to soften his tone and ask the question gently.

Yang Meier hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook her head:

"In the territory of Taihua City, Su Yuan is the tiger sitting on the mountain."

“Even if you become one of the top ten students in the future, you will still face Su Yuan’s retaliation during your preparatory studies. I don’t want to drag you down with me.”

"I'll be perfectly content as long as you're willing to keep watching my live streams."

"And if one day I suddenly stop live streaming, please forget me and don't try to find out the truth..."

Upon hearing Yang Meier's words, Wang Qiu felt a chill run down his spine.

What kind of darkness had this girl experienced to say such things?

Is Taihua City really under Su Yuan's complete control?
He strode forward, wanting to hold the girl's small hand, which was covered in bruises from delivering takeout.

But in the end, he stopped abruptly because of the girl's timid gaze.

He gazed at Yang Meier and said in a deep voice:

"My master is a peak Golden Core expert, and behind me is the Wang family, one of the ten great families of Wanbaolou."

“I don’t even care about Su Yuan. I’m here to save you, and that’s specifically to save you.”

The girl with ram's horns blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Seemingly moved by Wang Qiu's words, she slowly recounted Su Yuan's numerous misdeeds.

Hearing about the countless capitalist behaviors, such as a daily wage of only 300 yuan, the requirement to pay for medical expenses out of pocket after illness or injury, and the requirement to hand over all the money earned from delivering food, Wang Qiu's face turned red with embarrassment.

Inside the large airship above Taihua City, the examiners looked at each other in bewilderment.

By this point, they all naturally understood Yang Meier's background.

So it was you, the good disciple of the Taibai Sword Immortal, who did this, right?

Even if it's a puppet, isn't it a bit too much to exploit it like a newborn?

On the contrary, after hearing about Su Yuan's various acts of exploiting his employees, Master Bao suddenly said:

"This Su Yuan is quite interesting."

"Although the methods are still somewhat immature, this ruthless heart is very suitable for entering the financial department of my Wanbaolou."

The examiners: "..."

Those who are birds of a feather belong to this category.

Ye Muyu chuckled:

"Brother Bao, don't even think about poaching Master Taibai's girl. Wang Qiu is probably going to get involved."

Master Bao smiled slightly and said calmly:
"It's just a puppet, costing at most a million to build. What's wrong with my disciple spending a little money on it?"

"At worst, we can just buy it! His remaining savings can still easily beat Su..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yang Meier on the big screen said again:
"Su Yuan also said that as long as I earn ten million for him, I can redeem myself from him."

Master Bao's expression stiffened slightly.

No! A ransom of ten million?

That's several times the profit margin! That's outrageous!

Master Bao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly comforted himself.

Although his apprentice liked the female anchor and thought she was a real person, he shouldn't be so reckless as to hand over all of his ten million yuan in savings.

"Ten million? Su Yuan's design is quite ingenious."

Upon hearing the amount of the ransom, a cold glint flashed in Wang Qiu's eyes, almost as if Su Yuan knew about his financial acumen and savings limit.

However, he soon realized that such a thing was unlikely and that it was probably just a coincidence.

He took a deep breath and solemnly said:

"After today, I will take care of the ransom issue, and I will definitely set you free."

"Ah."

Yang Meier nodded slightly, then asked somewhat nervously:

"So...are you going to challenge Su Yuan now?"

Wang Qiu chuckled:
"So you really do know the inside story of the preparatory course exam."

"The timing of your broadcast today is too coincidental. From the very first moment you started broadcasting, I guessed that you were sent by Su Yuan to stall me."

The girl lowered her head with a hint of guilt.
"I'm sorry... I was forced to start the broadcast by Su Yuanqiang, but... but since you knew that, why did you come looking for me in the first place?"

Wang Qiu said gently:
"Because I was worried that if I didn't come, Su Yuan would blame you."

"How long does Su Yuan want you to stall me? As long as it's within two hours, I can spend it with you."

The girl with ram's horns raised her bright, beautiful eyes and said in a daze:

"Su Yuan told me to stall you for more than an hour and a half..."

"But I'm just a person enslaved by Su Yuan, someone with an impure heart. Am I worth all this effort from you?"

Wang Qiu said nothing more, only stating:
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'll go with you for a walk and a stroll."

Seeing that Wang Qiu had gone to such lengths, the girl could only nod gratefully.

Next, the two of them completely avoided the Night Watch's location and began to stroll around the bustling city of Taihua.

The entrance of the shopping mall.

"Delivery drivers are not allowed inside!"

The security guard, leaning on his riot fork, stared warily at the girl in the delivery uniform.

Yang Meier fearfully hid behind Wang Qiu, clutching his clothes, trying to leave.

Without hesitation, Wang Qiu tossed out a thousand yuan to appease the security guard, and under the girl's adoring gaze, strode into the mall with her.

"I haven't had such a comfortable rest in a long time since Su Yuan forced me to work."

Inside the coffee shop, Yang Meier sat across from Wang Qiu at the table, taking small bites of an egg roll, her pretty face full of satisfaction.

Wang Qiu calmly called the waiter to pay the bill, which cost less than one hundred yuan.

After having afternoon tea, the two watched the bustling traffic on the street before going for a walk in the park.

The girl was exhausted and slept for half an hour on a park bench, breathing evenly.

After waking up, they went to the aquarium, watched the newly started mosasaurus show, and then went to see the dolphins and penguins.

Wang Qiu only paid 120 yuan for the ticket.

Looking at the laughing girl in front of him, Wang Qiu felt somewhat dazed.

A beautiful female streamer who originally only existed on the screen became real during this short hour-long interaction.

The examiners inside the flying boat were somewhat puzzled.

"After all this time, this puppet has only consumed one-thousandth of my disciple's wealth. What is Su Yuan's intention in doing this?"

Master Bao was somewhat confused:
"Could it be that he's just trying to stall my disciple, preventing him from defeating him within the limited time?"

Before the other examiners could speak, Master Bao suddenly realized something and understood:

"I almost forgot, Su Yuan has no idea about the details of the Wealth Path Divine Power."

"If he doesn't understand the importance of savings, why would he specifically swindle my disciple's money?"

"His plan to buy time was clever, but unfortunately, once my disciple makes a move, he can be defeated in less than a minute."

Just as Master Bao was confident that his disciple was safe, a stunningly beautiful woman in a deep red dress whispered to him:

"Su Yuan has already mastered the essence of the art of seduction."

Master Bao was slightly taken aback, then his expression turned serious:

"Junior Sister Qin, what do you mean by that?"

The stunningly beautiful woman who spoke just now was none other than a Golden Core Doctor from the Thousand Faces Immortal Sect.

No one present understood the art of seduction better than her.

Master Qin watched Yang Meier's every smile, every gesture, and slowly said:
"Before coming to Taihua City, Yang Meier was no different from a celebrity to Wang Qiu at most."

"It's just that this artist is poor, which makes him more pitiful."

"But after spending time together, which was almost like a date, Wang Qiu realized that the other person was a real person."

"Faced with such a lively, sensible, and lovely woman, he will only find it harder to let her go."

Master Qin turned to look at Master Bao and said calmly:

"The key to the honey trap is not the beauty, but the trap."

"Su Yuan wanted to turn this puppet named Yang Meier into Wang Qiu's white moonlight, and he succeeded."

"Next, there will be a grand performance that resembles a melodrama, and Wang Qiu will be manipulated at will. Please wait and see, Senior Brother Bao."

Master Bao's expression stiffened as he slowly turned his head to look at the large screen.

It's evening.

On the rooftop of a tall building, Yang Meier looked up at the sky full of dazzling stars.

A pair of beautiful square eyes shone brightly under the starlight.

Seemingly to celebrate the successful completion of the preparatory course assessment, countless flames shot into the sky, transforming into a sky full of fireworks.

Wang Qiu checked the time; an hour and a half had passed since he entered Taihua City.

It's time to fight the Night's Watch.

He carefully calculated his savings.

He had recently given Yang Meier a reward of one million yuan. Although he has made some income since then, his daily expenses are also quite high, and he now only has a little over nine million yuan in savings.

But nine million is enough.

First, use two million in resources to defeat Su Yuan, and then the remaining seven night watchmen will each receive one million in resources.

That should be enough to kill them in one hit.

Even if he can't kill them instantly, his potential index of 3.4 is no joke. Even without using his wealth-generating abilities, he still fears no Night's Watch member.

"I have to leave."

Wang Qiu looked at the girl beside him and said reluctantly.

He solemnly assured:
"However, this separation is only temporary. Once I defeat Su Yuan, I will rescue you from his clutches."

Yang Meier turned around, her back to the fireworks display, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex and inscrutable expression.

She stepped forward, grasped Wang Qiu's hand, and looked into his eyes as she said:
"Brother Wang, forget about this exam, let's run away together."

"I don't want you to get hurt in your fight with Su Yuan. Let's never go back to Taihua City, okay?"

Wang Qiu was stunned for a moment.

But in the end, he firmly shook his head:
"Don't worry, I will win."

The girl's hopeful gaze gradually dimmed, and she slowly released her grip, her head bowed slightly.

"That's it..."

Seeing this, Wang Qiu wanted to offer a few words of comfort.

But in the next instant, a bone dagger suddenly pierced out from the girl's palm!
The tip of the dagger was pitch black and faintly smelled of blood and stench, clearly containing extremely potent corpse poison!

Upon seeing the bone dagger, Wang Qiu instinctively activated his Wealth-Cultivating Divine Power, causing a protective golden light to surround his body.

His figure also retreated abruptly, staring incredulously at the ram-horned girl:

"You...you were sent by Su Yuan to assassinate me?"

Yang Meier slowly raised the dagger, her tone carrying an inexplicable eeriness:
“Young Master Wang, I am not actually a living person. I am just a puppet with self-awareness created by Su Yuan.”

“Everything I do is controlled by Su Yuan. The purpose of Su Yuan sending me this time is not just to hold you back, but to assassinate you.”

The girl with ram's horns spoke slowly, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, her tone gradually becoming more complex:

"This assassination should have started the moment I saw you."

"But I don't know why, after you showed me so much care, I just couldn't bring myself to do it."

“But Su Yuan’s orders are embedded in my underlying structure, and I have no choice but to obey them. If I delay any longer, Su Yuan might take over my body directly.”

"So I want to run away with you."

“But you’re unwilling to escape, so the only solution I can think of is… self-destruction.”

"Self-destruction?"

Seeing that Yang Meier hadn't made a move against him, Wang Qiu realized something was wrong, and his heart pounded wildly.

He hurriedly reached out to stop him, but because he had retreated too far, it was too late.

The girl simply smiled at him, then plunged the dagger into her chest without hesitation.

With a crackling sound, the core of the puppet seemed to have been completely shattered by this stab.

The girl's bright eyes quickly lost their luster, and she fell like a falling leaf.

thump--

The sound of him falling to the ground, which should have been slight, struck Wang Qiu's heart like a heavy hammer.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he was completely stunned.

He thought the live anchor was a living person, but he was actually a puppet created by Su Yuan.

He thought the assassin was there to kill him, but instead chose to self-destruct to avoid harming himself.

The girl who was just a moment ago was lively and lovely, but now she has become lifeless.

pain!It hurts so much!
Wang Qiu felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Every smile and gesture he had just shared with Yang Meier kept echoing in his mind like a spell.

It's as if we've been through a lot together, yet it's also as if we've never met before.

"Su Yuan... Su Yuan!!!"

After a long silence, Wang Qiu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot, his anger raging.

"You newborn brat! Even if I killed you a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough!"

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

Just as Wang Qiu's anger was fully ignited and he was about to unleash 120% of his full strength, a frivolous voice rang in his ear.

Wang Qiu turned his head suddenly, like a cat reacting to stress.

Then, he saw Su Yuan, who had arrived at some point, smiling and greeting him.

Before Wang Qiu could speak, Su Yuan had already walked around to the side of the fallen Yang Meier, clicking his tongue and shaking his head:
"Sigh, how can a puppet develop self-awareness?"

"According to my plan, she will stab you with a dagger when you are not paying attention, which will surely put you in a state of serious injury with continuous blood loss."

"It's fortunate that she self-destructed. If she hadn't, I would definitely have reset this AI's memory to prevent something similar from happening again."

As he spoke, Su Yuan reached out to grab Yang Meier's body, seemingly to retrieve the parts.

"Don't touch her! I won't allow you to touch her!"

Wang Qiu was furious when he saw this!

A powerful golden light burst forth from his body, and the dense wealth formed a terrifying pressure that crushed down on Su Yuan.

Enveloped in golden light, Wang Qiu resembled a Super Saiyan, with his hair standing on end and subtly dyed gold.

"Holy crap... there's even a transformation?!"

Su Yuan was somewhat bewildered.

Wasn't it said that this thing only had a potential index of 3.4?

Judging from the current situation, it's more than 3.4!
Is it like Chu Lanxi, that there is a first stage and a second stage?

However, just as Wang Qiu was recklessly preparing to exhaust all his resources to instantly kill Su Yuan, Su Yuan's calm voice suddenly rang out.

"If that blow lands, Yang Meier will really be gone."

Before he finished speaking, the golden light emanating from Wang Qiu's body suddenly stopped.

He stared at Su Yuan in shock:

"Can...can it be saved?"

Su Yuan said speechlessly:
"Nonsense, Yang Meier's true form is actually a cybernetic life form. Do you think she's like a living person, that having her heart destroyed means she's doomed?"

"Besides, everyone is cultivating immortality now. Even if someone is a true immortal, having their heart destroyed doesn't necessarily mean they will die."

As he spoke, Su Yuan directly pulled out the Myriad Soul Banner and stuck it behind Yang Meier's head.

A stream of data was then drawn out from it.

On the silver-white metal pole, a holographic projection of a banner appeared, displaying Yang Meier's minted head.

The girl seemed to have just woken up and was initially a little dazed, but when she noticed Wang Qiu not far away, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

She wanted to pounce on Wang Qiu, but the virtual screen held her firmly in place, preventing her from advancing an inch.

Su Yuan shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and Yang Meier inside the banner seemed to be shaken so badly that she couldn't stand up.

"You...you let her go!"

Wang Qiu blurted out anxiously.

Su Yuan asked curiously:

"She is my property, what right do you have to interfere?"

"Don't even mention shaking her a couple of times, just based on her betrayal of me, I could re-digitize her without any problem."

Wang Qiu was speechless for a long while before finally saying:

"What price do you want me to pay for you to let her go?"

Su Yuan's lips curled into a satisfied smile. He had been planning for this answer for so long.

"It's very simple. First, you stay where you are for half an hour, and you can only leave after the assessment period ends."

"Secondly, there's the issue of Yang Meier's ransom. She should have already told you about it before; it costs ten million."

Su Yuan spoke eloquently, a hint of anticipation in his eyes:

“You come from the Wanbao Tower, the richest immortal sect in the world. You can’t possibly not even have ten million, can you?”

Wang Qiu: "..."

After a long silence, he finally said, somewhat reluctantly:
"I...I didn't."

He originally had over nine million, but after unleashing his wealth-generating power, his fortune is now less than seven million.

Su Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed:

"You're not being honest! You don't even have ten million, so what are you doing in finance?"

"Do you still want your white moonlight?! Do you believe I'll format her right now?!"

Wang Qiu quickly explained:
“My family rules state that I cannot hold a large amount of wealth before graduating from university.”

"I have seven million now, and I can transfer it all to you right now, just please don't format Yang Meier's soul."

"As for the remaining three million, I can make it up to you later."

"Transfer money!"

A few seconds later, looking at the suddenly swelled bank account and the obedient Wang Qiu, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that you've received the money, shouldn't you hand Yang Meier over to me?"

Wang Qiu asked somewhat nervously.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan raised an eyebrow:
"Dude, you're so weird. When did I ever say I was giving Yang Meier to you?"

Wang Qiu was stunned: "You, didn't you already take the money?"

Su Yuan said calmly:
"The redemption fee only means that Yang Meier has acquired ownership of her body, not that she has terminated her contract with me."

"Now that she's ruined her body, I still have to ask her for repair costs. Why should she be free, and why should she go with you?"

Wang Qiu: "..."

You're a complete novice!

He growled through gritted teeth:
"Fine! Since you're going to treat me like this, then I won't talk about morality with you anymore!"

"I only agreed to stay here, I didn't say I couldn't beat you up here!"
