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

Chapter 3 is bad; he's learned something real!
"You want to learn from me?"

"Uncle Wang, to be honest, your imposing figure as you slay those deliverymen in the night sky has deeply attracted me! I also want to be like you and become a good security guard!"

Su Yuan looked at the security guard, Uncle Wang, with admiration.

Uncle Wang patted Su Yuan on the shoulder and said in a weary voice:

"There aren't many kids as down-to-earth as you anymore. You've avoided at least fifty years of detours compared to others."

"People say that being a security guard is tough and tiring, and that it's a job only old people who can't keep up with the pace do. But only after you actually become a security guard do you realize that the glory of your youth is just a fleeting cloud, and that a simple and ordinary life is the true life."

Seeing the other man's sighing and lamenting expression, Su Yuan secretly thought to himself that this old man Wang was also a man with a story.

"Uncle Wang, you're right. I'd like to join our community as a security guard now and learn from you."

Su Yuan's face was serious, but then she put on a pained expression:

"It's a pity that I'm still a student and can only spare the time after 6 p.m., so I can't listen to your teachings all the time."

Uncle Wang laughed heartily and said:

"It's alright, take your time. I'm already very pleased that you have this intention. Come on, Uncle will take you to complete the part-time job application."

[Task: Recognize the Demon as Your Master]

[Task progress: 30%]

After completing the formalities at the property security department and receiving a security guard uniform and a riot control fork, Su Yuan walked with Uncle Wang in the community, receiving Uncle Wang's instruction and guidance.

"Su Yuan, if you want to become a qualified security guard, you need to master the art of riding a fork! Riding a fork without getting hurt is just the basics."

"When you can use a single fork to break through all methods, and hold off all deliverymen with a single fork, you will have mastered the art of fork-wielding."

Su Yuan listened attentively, and the task progress was increasing rapidly.

Judging from the increase in the task progress, Su Yuan estimated that he would not need to wait until he mastered the Fork Kung Fu. He only needed to know all of Uncle Wang's insights into the Fork Kung Fu to complete the task.

After Uncle Wang finished demonstrating his treasured Eighteen Forms of the Divine Fork, he said proudly:

"Kid, just keep learning! You'll learn without making a sound!"

"You've come to the right place to learn from your Uncle Wang. Back in the day, your Uncle Wang was the head instructor of 800,000 security guards, with students all over the neighborhoods, apartments, companies, and even schools, shopping malls, and hospitals!"

"Uncle Wang is mighty!"

Su Yuan immediately clapped, emphasizing the maximum emotional value.

However, his mind started to wander. Even if only one or two tenths of what Old Wang was bragging about was true, the number of security guards who graduated from his training would still be quite considerable.

Thinking about it carefully, the security guards I've encountered while delivering food all subtly resembled Old Wang in their tactics.

Now I've learned Old Wang's Eighteen Forms of the Divine Fork... Hehe, when I'm delivering takeout, I'll be taught by a master, and you won't be able to break my moves. What will you use to catch me then?
However, when Su Yuan looked at his task progress, he found that the progress bar was only 90%, and he was still a little short of completing it.

Could it be that Old Wang is hiding his true abilities?

Seeing that Old Wang had no intention of continuing to teach him the fork technique, and instead used his fork to fly and patrol various points in the neighborhood, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After much deliberation, Su Yuan cautiously asked:
"Uncle Wang, your Eighteen Forms of the Divine Fork are indeed exquisite, but they are all just external martial arts moves. As the saying goes, if you practice martial arts but don't cultivate your mind, you'll end up with nothing. Don't we have any mental cultivation methods or anything?"

"A cultivation technique?" Old Wang stopped his flying fork, looking at Su Yuan with surprise. A sharp light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes as he exclaimed in admiration:

"Young Su Yuan, your comprehension is truly remarkable! Many of my disciples have never asked me this question in decades!"

"You guessed right. I do have a set of techniques, which I don't easily pass on to others. But since you've revealed this, it's only natural that you're destined to have my techniques."

Su Yuan was speechless. He had only asked casually, but there really was a secret technique involved!

Then, Uncle Wang, the security guard, looked around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice and saying:

"My secret weapon can be summed up in one sentence, so listen carefully: At the right time, kill the right person."

The moment Su Yuan heard this mantra, his task panel instantly filled up, reaching 100%.

[Quest: Recognize the Demon as Master (Completed)]

[Task Reward: Randomly upgrade one of your martial arts or Taoist techniques to the perfect stage (already issued)]

However, even though the system clearly stated that the reward had been issued, he didn't feel anything significant.

"When will my skill upgrade, and how do I upgrade it? Will there be any special effects?"

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

However, in Uncle Wang's eyes, Su Yuan's pensive expression seemed to be pondering the true meaning of the mental cultivation technique he had just heard.

He coughed lightly and said in a deliberately profound tone:

"The essence of the technique is very simple. Take those delivery drivers as an example. Instead of putting the food in the delivery locker, they rush straight to the homeowner's house. Is this their intention? Of course not. It is the homeowner's instruction."

“We should have stopped these delivery drivers the moment they stepped into the community, but the residents’ demands have not been met. If this continues, won’t it cause resentment towards us security guards?”

"After the deliveryman delivers the food to the resident, I can then remove the deliveryman. This not only serves the interests of the resident but also demonstrates the role of us security guards. The deliveryman might even earn a tip from the resident... Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Su Yuan: "..."

He got it!
Great enlightenment!

Security guards aren't about fighting and killing! It's about understanding human relationships and social interactions!

It moved! The fork moved!
“Many of my previous apprentices were very talented, but they were also arrogant because of it. They only knew how to act tough in front of outsiders such as deliverymen and couriers, but forgot the feelings of the homeowners and were often complained about.”

"Su Yuan, you should take this as a warning..."

Security guard Uncle Wang spoke earnestly, looking at Su Yuan.

But when he saw Su Yuan's current actions, he was stunned!
Then, Su Yuan's body was surrounded by flying shadows, with the sounds of dragons and tigers howling and the sounds of wind and thunder exploding!
Straight forks have warmth, swing forks have power, flying forks have accuracy, lifting forks has height, angled forks have angle, and forks have attitude!

This... this already shows the aura of a grandmaster!
This is no ordinary beginner. Even a genius who has practiced diligently for more than a year would not have the same level of skill as Su Yuan!

I have only just taught Su Yuan the Eighteen Forms of the Divine Fork!

Security guard Uncle Wang has seen many geniuses, but even these geniuses have to call Su Yuan a genius!
"Could it be... that he really comprehended something profound from my cultivation method? Or is he the legendary Innate Protective Holy Body?!"

Uncle Wang muttered in disbelief.
