Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

"Cough cough cough... I'm back!"

Inside the rented room, Chu Sheng stood in the spot where he had left that day.

He excitedly touched his face.

He looked up and touched the few scorched strands of his hair, breathing heavily.

Just now... just now...

After he closed the iron gate, the detonator was detonated at the same time.

A terrifying fire dragon instantly engulfed the entire basement, threatening to swallow him whole in an instant.

The countdown to mission completion has reached zero!

He returned alive, narrowly escaping death.

"Clatter..."

Chu Sheng picked up a lighter, lit a Da Yun cigarette, and took a deep drag.

The cigarette burned down to half its original size at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The familiar sensation of filling his lungs made him feel lightheaded, and he collapsed onto the bed.

"Comfortable!"

"That feels so good!"

The seven days felt like an eternity to him.

"A salary of 1.2 almost cost me my life? That damned capitalist system is truly ruthless!"

Chu Sheng instinctively picked up his phone and was surprised to find that the date was still the day he left.

Only seven hours had passed.

It is 3 p.m. now.

Just as he was about to send a message to the company, his phone started ringing with a series of "ding-dong" sounds.

"Congratulations to intern employee number 168888 for completing your first task. Settlement is now open!"

"Completed Task 1: Seven-Day Initial World Experience, Reward: Merit Points +70"

"Complete Task 2: Become an apprentice of Mao Xiaofang, and your knowledge will automatically advance to the beginner level."

"Complete the hidden quest and assist Mao Xiaofang and Ma Dana in eliminating the evil cultivators. Merit points +300."

"Successfully collected the Celestial Dragons' scales. All rewards are doubled, your skill level is upgraded to Mastery, and your merit points are 740."

"Due to the outstanding performance of intern employee number 168888 in this task, the internship period has ended early, and the employee has been successfully promoted to a P1 level full-time employee."

The official salary is 2.3 per month.

"Open the company's internal store, company group, and task list."

Chu Sheng stared at the string of text messages, not yet able to react.

It was as if someone had given me a spiritual awakening, and many things that were previously difficult to understand appeared in my mind.

In particular, the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing," which was once obscure and difficult to understand, is now incredibly clear.

A gleam of joy flashed in his eyes: "The company has this function too."

Without saying a word, Chu Sheng took out the Pure Yang Spirit Grass and swallowed it in one gulp.

"My master said it can increase one's cultivation by more than ten years, so I'll give it a try and see if I can cultivate in this world."

At this moment, Chu Sheng felt that magic was more attractive to him than the salary of 2.3.

As the pure yang herb entered his stomach, a strange heat flow was generated.

Chu Sheng began circulating his microcosmic orbit according to the records in the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing.

The so-called Small Heavenly Circuit has six levels, namely:

Qi arises in the lower dantian, rushes through the gates, ascends to the Baihui acupoint, gathers in the upper dantian, falls into the middle dantian, and returns to the sea of ​​qi.

Normally, one will experience a sensation of Qi in the first stage of cultivation.

He officially entered the first of the four realms in Taoism—refining essence into qi.

Within a few breaths of the pure yang spiritual herb entering the abdomen, a scorching torrent of heat exploded from the dantian.

"Damn... Master never said anything so domineering!"

Chu Sheng groaned, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Immediately abandon all distracting thoughts and begin circulating the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing".

Thanks to the company's miraculous "enlightenment," the originally difficult and obscure Qi circulation path is now crystal clear.

What normally requires slow and painstaking effort to overcome can be overcome under the impact of this potent medicine.

It even emitted a slight "hissing" sound, like a red-hot iron being immersed in cold water.

Chu Sheng's skin was flushed red, and white steam was faintly rising from the top of his head.

With each rotation, the heat becomes more refined, and the burning sensation is gradually replaced by a warm and fulfilling feeling.

Qi rises from the lower dantian!

Qi rushes through the pass!

Qi flows to Baihui acupoint!

Chu Sheng was greatly encouraged; he could clearly feel that his consciousness was clearer than ever before.

I could hear the suppressed arguing of the couple next door, and even the rustling of leaves a dozen meters away outside the window.

The warm current inside the body is swirling and gathering at the Baihui acupoint, bringing a refreshing coolness.

He dared not slacken and continued to circulate the microcosmic orbit.

Finally, when that true energy completed a full cycle of the small heavenly circulation, it sank into the sea of ​​qi and slowly rotated, like a newly born nebula.

"call--"

"So that's how you feel the Qi?"

Chu Sheng let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and was surprised to find...

The breath he had just exhaled shot through the air for more than half a foot before slowly dissipating.

He was immediately delighted that this pure yang spiritual herb, combined with a master-level cultivation technique, was perfect.

Incredibly, in a short period of time, he skipped the early and middle stages of refining essence into qi and directly stepped into the late stage.

It saved at least several years of painstaking work.

More importantly, he now possesses magical power and can cast spells, such as the Multiply spell!

"Haha, this was definitely a good deal!"

Chu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, felt the faint but real internal energy flowing through his body, and grinned.

Although the process was a bit painful, the result was good.

No, it's not just good, it's absolutely fantastic!

It's 8:30.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the time, surprised to find that it had taken him a full five hours to refine the Pure Yang Spirit Herb.

The screen then lit up again.

An app icon, unlike anything I've ever seen before, with an interface so simple it's almost rudimentary, appeared in the center of the desktop.

The icon is a simple black and white color scheme, forming an abstract "door" shape.

The app's name consists of only four characters: "Tiandao Media".

When you open the app, the first thing that pops up is a document called "P1 Employee Guidelines".

He glanced at it briefly, and the numerous clauses made his eyelids twitch:

"Employees must actively complete their monthly tasks and are not allowed to be absent from work, leave early, or take leave without a valid reason."

Merit points can be used to redeem items in the shop or to upgrade your privilege level.

"Failure to complete a mission will result in the deduction of merit points. If the merit points become negative, the 'debt repayment procedure' will be initiated."

"Disclosing the company's existence or mission information to any non-company personnel is strictly prohibited; violators will be eliminated..."

Special Note: In accordance with basic labor laws, our company provides 180 days of maternity leave and 230 days of paternity leave for pregnant women.

"They even offer maternity leave... at least they're keeping up with the national situation, you've got a conscience."

Chu Sheng pursed his lips, closed the notice, and then opened the [Internal Shop].

A dazzling array of goods comes into view, categorized in numerous ways:

Cultivation manuals, magical artifacts and talismans, rare elixirs and artifacts, technological creations, and even some strange things whose classifications are incomprehensible.

However, the price listed below for merit points instantly extinguished Chu Sheng's joy at suddenly becoming rich.

"Complete Guide to Basic Talismans (Advanced Level) - 1200 Merit Points"

"Peach wood sword (100-year-old lightning-struck wood) - 100 merits"

"Minor Rejuvenation Pill (Heals injuries, restores a small amount of True Qi) - 50 Merit Points/pill"

"Basic Gene Optimization Fluid (Slightly Improves Physical Fitness) - 300 Merits"

"Compass for Detecting Paranormal Phenomena - 300 Merits"

"Space Grid (Increases by 3 grids) - 500 Merit Points (Purchasable with P2 access)"
