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

Chapter 53 Machine Soul! Let me see your limits!
"Mmm, oranges made by Noyi herself are just different... They taste so good, and after drinking them, I even feel like my soul has been purified!"

Yin Qiyue inserted a straw into the fruit tea, sipped it slowly, and praised it repeatedly with a look of happiness on her face.

Actually, there's no difference; it's just that I added a little more calming pills to your fruit tea.

Su Yuan silently complained to himself.

He stood behind the bar, glanced around the shop, and found that there weren't many customers.

That's normal; most working people haven't finished get off work yet.

Su Yuan was happy to have some free time and secretly started scrolling through his phone.

Of course, he wasn't doing this for fun; he wanted to find a high-paying job through various work groups to achieve his goal of earning 30,000 yuan a day.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a job he liked after searching around.

With no other option, Su Yuan had to temporarily put aside his money-making plans and instead focus on winning over Yin Qiyue and completing the system's tasks.

To increase Yin Qiyue's favorability, one needs to have a deeper understanding of her.

Su Yuan secretly put an earphone into one ear and opened Yin Qiyue's homepage on the Miaoyin short video platform.

After randomly opening Yin Qiyue's latest video, a girl dressed in ancient Hanfu appeared on the phone screen, sitting next to a microphone.

This girl is none other than Yin Qiyue. However, the lighting and camera angles in the video are absolutely terrible, dragging her originally 95-point beauty score down to 80.

Although she still looks beautiful in the video, it doesn't have the same impact as seeing her in person.

But shouldn't lighting and photography be basic skills for students at Tianyin High School?
Could it be that Yin Qiyue, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually a poor student among art students?

Su Yuan mentally complained as melodious music gradually began to play in his headphones.

In an instant, Su Yuan felt his consciousness drawn by the beautiful singing, as if he were about to sink into the world of the song.

A dreamlike world seemed to appear before his eyes, detaching him from reality and captivating him completely.

It was a feeling akin to eating mushrooms and gradually understanding everything.

Fortunately, the Demon Heart of the Pure Land is specifically designed to counteract various negative states of mind, which prevented Su Yuan from completely succumbing to despair.

"This is the preparatory course of the Thousand Faces University? Can you really bewitch people with just your voice?"

Su Yuan was amazed.

It is truly rare to find a work that can move people's hearts and create hallucinations in viewers during the Qi Refining stage.

In order to accommodate the online experience of ordinary people and cultivators, Lingli Network has imposed many restrictions on students like Su Yuan.

One of the restrictions is that videos and texts containing the spells and supernatural powers of high-level cultivators cannot be seen by low-level cultivators and ordinary people.

Because if one is not careful, the power transmitted by high-level cultivators through videos and texts can completely drag ordinary people into an illusion, and it is not impossible for them to die brain death directly.

Lower-level cultivators' understanding of higher-level cultivators is limited to interviews with reporters and news reports.

Only after one's cultivation reaches a certain level can one unlock higher levels of spiritual energy network access and see even more impressive works.

Therefore, Su Yuan usually did not enjoy this dreamlike art of song.

It's no wonder that Yin Qiyue was able to gather more than 200,000 fans in a short period of time and become a minor internet celebrity.

Their professional skills are truly outstanding.

Before long, the song finished playing, and just as Su Yuan was about to scroll down to listen to another piece, he noticed that the progress bar for the current video was not yet finished.

He was a little confused, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.

Then Yin Qiyue stammered:

"Family members in front of the screen, are you troubled by your phone's lag? Do you often miss work time due to malfunctions in the phone's 'flying sword' feature?"

"Now, Pinduoduo's upgrade season is here! Please click the link below the video to jump to the Pinduoduo shopping platform and upgrade your device with one click."

"To thank our fans, I have secured exclusive benefits for them. Please search for the mystery number below on the Pinduoduo shopping platform to directly access the 10 billion yuan subsidy event."

"At 10 PM tonight, ten new phones will be given away for free during the 10 billion yuan subsidy event!"

"If you're fast enough, you can get a Qiankun mobile phone worth 19999 for free! First come, first served!"

As Yin Qiyue spoke, various information and interfaces from shopping platforms popped up in her video, leaving Su Yuan speechless.

So you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, also accept advertisements?
It's not easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things, right? But speaking of which, Yin Qiyue's video was only released today, and in a few minutes it will be exactly 10 pm.

Should I try my luck at the 10 billion yuan subsidy event and see if I can snag a Qiankun phone?

Even if you don't use it yourself, you could just put it up for sale online and make a net profit of over ten thousand!
Thinking of this, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

But here's the problem: can he snatch one of those ten phones from hundreds of millions of Pinduoduo users?

Similar events happen almost every month, and Su Yuan always arrives early to wait at the venue, but in the end, he gets nothing.

Clearly, if it wasn't the Pinduoduo platform interfering, then scalpers must have used some unknown means to snatch these free machines.

Trying to counter the technology of scalpers with manpower is extremely difficult, practically impossible!

But then was before and now is now!

Su Yuan wanted to give it a try!
He had to face the scalpers' encirclement and suppression head-on and fight his way through the enemy ranks!
Su Yuan only had one thing to rely on: the Demonic Art of Finger Weapon and his cell phone, which had been his only companion for many years and was like family to him!

Can the technology of a tech scalper and the speed of a skilled player match the technology of a scalper?

Su Yuan didn't know, but he wanted to give it a try!
He called Chen Nuoyi out to keep watch, then went alone to the changing room of the milk tea shop, opened the Pinduoduo 10 Billion Subsidy event page, and easily entered the free new phone giveaway activity.

At this moment, there is one minute left in the countdown before the event begins.

In that minute, Su Yuan quickly adjusted his breathing to ensure he was in peak condition.

Then, the Demonic Art - Finger Weapon was activated!
The next second, a familiar feeling, a connection between my mind and the phone in my hand, welled up inside me.

Machine Spirit Joy effect activated!
Both Su Yuan and the mobile phone were pushing their performance to the limit, just like two cannonballs about to explode, about to unleash earth-shattering power!

"Machine Soul, let those tech-savvy scalpers see the power of our bond!"

Su Yuan murmured, his eyes fixed on the large red button on the screen.

Countdown, five seconds!

Time seemed to slow down at that moment.

Four...three...two...one!

Just as the countdown was about to end, a glint flashed in Su Yuan's eyes, and he was about to strike!

But just then, snap—

The door to the changing room opened, and Chu Lanxi walked in!
Su Yuan was momentarily distracted and missed the best opportunity to press the buy button, his finger frozen in mid-air.

"You're slacking off, aren't you? I'm reporting you for absenteeism."

Chu Lanxi greeted Su Yuan with a smile.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Because Su Yuan was emanating a bone-chilling coldness, Chu Lanxi felt a chill run down her spine.

It was as if he was not facing his adopted son whom he had known for many years, but rather confronting an evil demon!

"What...what's going on?"

Chu Lanxi was a little confused.

"Lanzi, you owe me 19999. Are you planning to pay in installments or in full?"

Su Yuan asked with a gloomy face.

Chu Lanxi blinked, and said with a hint of realization:

"19999? You weren't just trying to snag a free new phone during the 10 billion yuan subsidy event for Pinduoduo, were you?"

"So what if it is? If it weren't for you, I would have definitely snatched the new phone!"

Su Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Uh, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just wanted to remind you that it seems you managed to snag one."

Chu Lanxi pointed to Su Yuan's phone, her tone cautious.

Su Yuan turned around abruptly and saw that his phone screen had somehow changed, displaying the message: "Congratulations on becoming the tenth place winner in this zero-yuan new phone purchase contest! You have been awarded a Qiankun phone worth 19999 yuan. Please fill in your shipping address as soon as possible!"
Su Yuan was shocked.

He remembered very clearly that he hadn't actually pointed at the finger at all!
In other words... your own phone clicked the buy button on its own?!
P.S.: It's Tuesday! Dear readers, please read to the last page. Thank you so much!
