About how my wife resurrected me as tentacles after my death.

A stack of ancient books that had been flipped through lay beside Yu Wan.

She couldn't remember how many books she had flipped through, only the little bit of anticipation she felt when she opened each one, and the little bit of disappointment she felt when she closed it.

Chen Yuan lay beside her knees, the tips of his tentacles resting on her wrists, quietly keeping her company.

He couldn't be of much help; he couldn't understand most of the text in those ancient books, and even the few words he recognized couldn't be pieced together to form a complete meaning.

But he could sense that Yu Wan's emotions were changing, from initial hope to later calm, and now... he didn't know how to describe it.

Yu Wan closed the book in her hand and put it aside.

She rubbed her sore eyes and glanced down at Chen Yuan.

"Ah Yuan..." she said softly, "Let's go upstairs first."

Then she stood up, lifted Chen Yuan off her lap, and carefully tucked her back into her collar.

The movements were already quite skillful; the little tentacles landed steadily in that soft, warm place, with only a small tip sticking out to breathe.

But this time, she took one more thing.

That old black book.

The book that records "alienation".

She pulled the book off the shelf, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed it into the inside pocket of her coat.

The record states that the alienation process can lead to various indescribable occurrences.

But this is the only path to advancement for a follower of the evil god that she currently knows of.

Chen Yuan, naturally, is the "believer" she offered to the evil god.

Therefore, the promotion path should be effective for him.

As Yu Wan walked towards the basement entrance, she recalled the contents of the book in her mind.

The altar was already there, right behind us.

Some of the ritual objects and materials mentioned in the records can be obtained outside the city, as long as you are willing to spend some money and time.

Then... you can begin the promotion process.

But the simpler it was, the less she dared to try.

She was afraid...

I'm afraid that if I continue down this path, Ah Yuan will turn into something even stranger.

He feared that the so-called "promotion" would cause him to lose the last bit of consciousness he had left.

He feared that everything she did would ultimately push him into an even more irreversible situation...

Her eyes lowered slightly.

Chen Yuan lay on her chest and could feel her pace slow down, stopping at the basement doorway.

He didn't know anything about evil gods or anything like that; all he knew was to level up as quickly as possible.

You can mimic at level 10.

.......

Yu Wan was still standing at the basement door, one hand on the door frame and the other pressing on the small tentacle on her chest, as if she was thinking about something very important.

Will it actually work...?

"Squeak."

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from upstairs.

Yu Wan's body tensed up instantly, and her eyes changed from confusion to alertness.

Someone has come into the house...?

She couldn't go through the main entrance, but there was another path in the basement that led directly outside.

.......

Inside the room, a woman in a League uniform was still walking around.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with a simple ponytail, holding a brown paper envelope in her hand, looking around the room.

Is anyone there?

As she was shouting, she saw the door suddenly open from the outside, and she was clearly startled, taking a step back.

Yu Wan stood at the doorway outside, her hood off, her long, silvery-white hair tied in a ponytail, revealing her fair neck and her delicate, aloof face.

Her expression was obscured; the light shone in from behind her, hiding her face in shadow.

"Is this Miss Yu Wan? The Alliance..."

"Get out." Yu Wan's voice was soft, but cold.

The female postwoman paused for a moment.

"I...I..." Her face flushed red, and she was a little angry.

But then she met Yu Wan's eyes.

Those blood-red eyes.

Her anger was instantly extinguished, replaced by an inexplicable fear.

"Who gave you the right to trespass into the engineer's room?"

Yu Wan's voice was still soft, but her expression remained indifferent as she looked down at her.

The female postman opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but the door wasn't locked. She knocked but no one answered, so she pushed the door open to check.

But in the end, she just quickly put the envelope on the shoe cabinet by the door, then lowered her head and squeezed past Yu Wan as if she were fleeing.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Miss Yu Wan."

The sound was so faint it was like a mosquito's buzz, and then she ran away.

Yu Wan simply stood at the door, watching the female postman disappear at the end of the corridor.

She did not close the door immediately.

I stood there for a few more seconds to make sure the person was really gone before I closed the door.

Then take the envelope from the shoe cabinet.

A letter from the alliance? What could it be...?

The letter was on kraft paper, stamped with the League's red seal, and had the words "Yu Wanshou" written in the middle.

She slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

It's a notification from the alliance.

The message wasn't long; she glanced at it and it basically said that the Alliance Level 3 Engineer certification exam she had previously registered for would be held next Wednesday, and she should attend on time.

Chen Yuan extended a small tentacle from her chest and leaned closer to take a look.

A Level 3 Engineer certification? Isn't that just for kids?

He remembered that when he took the CET-6 exam, that was truly difficult.

Level 3... is a level slightly higher than the beginner level.

Yu Wan is currently only a Level 2 Engineer because she only learned a little bit from Chen Yuan before.

But a Level 3 Engineer certificate is more than just a certification.

Within the league, this signifies status, position, and power.

So if you can take the exam, you should definitely prepare for it as part of your plan...

"Puji puji (With me here, you can do the certification task however you want)" Chen Yuan twisted twice more, and the tip of his tentacle gently poked her chin.

Yu Wan looked down at him, the coldness in his blood-red eyes slowly receding, and his gaze softening.

The corners of her mouth curved into a shallow arc, and she gently rubbed her chin against him.

"Alright, alright, I know A-Yuan is the best."

Chen Yuan listened, his tentacles pointing upwards.

He's a Level 6 Engineer in the Alliance.

Although it's just a tentacle now, its brain and technology are still there.

Teaching her to complete a Level 3 certification exam task would be a piece of cake.
