Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

Chapter 62 Water Ghost

"You've all heard about what happened earlier."

Fang Chi looked exhausted, as if he hadn't rested in a long time.

"We are now a combat team." He pointed to the two people next to him. "These two are my former partners, and also your deputy team leaders."

A man with rough skin, like a farmer who works in the fields year-round.

The other person's facial features clearly indicate a local, but their skin is extremely dark, suggesting they are from the Western region.

The farmer smiled憨厚ly: "Just call me Chen Yao."

The white man said calmly, "Lu Bing."

"When I'm around, listen to me. When I'm not around, listen to the two deputy team leaders. If neither of us is around, listen to Jingxi."

Fang Chi led everyone through the courtyard in a hurry, explaining as he went.

Finally, he emphasized one point: "Of course, White Wolf is an exception. You are a free man, you can do whatever you want, and you can freely report any situation—this is the right of your special assistant."

"Tsk tsk, you're something else!" Lu Kui poked the white wolf's waist and teased.

"Imperial decree, execution first, report later, do you understand? If you poke me again, I'll send you to the Ministry of the Interior!"

The white wolf laughed too.

For some reason, he recalled Cen Feiyu coldly pulling out a pistol under the Yunhai Building.

Only now did White Wolf realize what he had gained by not becoming class monitor.

"Okay, let's distribute the phones now." Fang Chi took out six small scroll-like objects and handed them out one by one.

The white wolf took it.

Seeing that Cen Feiyu had used it, he subconsciously pulled it open from the side.

A piece of cloth the size of a palm is fixed as a display screen, showing a mobile phone screen that is no different from usual.

It responds when you click on it.

Press the button at the end of the reel again, the display softens, and it retracts automatically.

"This phone was specially made by the Administration Bureau. Its most distinctive feature is the use of a flexible, retractable screen instead of a mirrored screen. The expert team has tested it and confirmed that it can completely ignore the 'mirror demon's' corrosive effects."

After Fang Chi finished speaking, he pointed to the dining hall: "You're all familiar with it now. Everyone, eat first, then pack your luggage—we're going to the suburbs tonight."

Because he was going on a mission, after receiving the water bottle that Deng Yi had specially prepared, Bai Lang went back to the dormitory to get a piece of clothing.

He ran back to the meeting point quickly, only to find that he was actually the first one there.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, considering he doesn't have much stuff.

So the white wolf simply sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

A moment later, he heard familiar footsteps and opened his eyes.

Jingxi appeared slowly, carrying a long box, more than a meter long, that looked like it was for holding flutes, on her right shoulder and a duffel bag in her left hand.

"Take it!"

As soon as she got closer, Jingxi handed over the box she was carrying.

The white wolf blinked and instinctively took it.

He tossed it around, feeling a bit strange; this thing wasn't heavy at all!

Just then, Li Qi walked over from the other end.

Having witnessed the whole thing, she said in a teasing tone, "We're going on a mission, isn't it inappropriate to bring so much luggage?"

"This is a sword, a gift for White Wolf," Jing Xi said calmly.

"Huh?" The white wolf opened its eyes wide.

He put down the sword that was disguised as an umbrella and picked up the box with both hands.

The box was made of red pine wood, nothing particularly special.

Once opened, the scabbard and hilt inside were equally unremarkable.

Ke Jingxi's family looks very unusual, so it's impossible for her to give them cheap goods.

The white wolf gripped the scabbard and hilt, carefully drawing the sword an inch from its edge.

A deep chill gushed out.

In an instant, the white wolf felt the temperature around him drop several degrees.

He suppressed his excitement and drew the longsword completely.

A cold light hung suspended in the air.

The longsword was made of an unknown material, with a metallic sheen and a slight translucency.

More like works of art than weapons.

"I don't understand it, but this sword must be really good, right? You really gave it to me?"

White Wolf gently flicked his wrist, feeling that the sword's center of gravity had been adjusted perfectly, making thrusting, stabbing, and parrying all go smoothly.

More importantly, when the spiritual energy was poured in, it did not encounter any resistance from the metal.

The sword seemed to extend from an arm, and the spiritual energy seemed to flow through the meridians.

"I noticed you stopped changing your sword and just picked one from home," Jingxi replied calmly. "You saved everyone in our class last time. As the class monitor, I thank you on behalf of everyone."

,

"You're too kind—then I won't stand on ceremony." The white wolf said very decisively.

There's no need to be polite with Jingxi.

We are comrades-in-arms, and improving our own combat capabilities can also help each other, so there is no need to refuse.

Just then, Wu Xuan arrived as well.

Her eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab it: "Holy crap! Your sword? Let me see it!"

"Cough cough! You cut your hand!" White Wolf quickly swung twice, and as soon as Wu Xuan dodged, it immediately sheathed itself and stuffed it back into the box.

Are you kidding me? Is this something you can just touch whenever you want?

If you break it later, you'll be the one crying.

Amidst their bickering, the others arrived.

Soon, a minibus picked up everyone and headed towards Longyan Village in the suburbs.

It was difficult to cultivate amidst the bumpy ride, so White Wolf simply took out his new phone and began to study it.

Actually, apart from the screen, everything else is pretty much the same, and you'll get used to it quickly.

White Wolf discovered that Fang Chi had created a group through the Administration's internal app "Cultivator" and had also packaged and sent the information to the group.

Not only that, Jingxi also secretly created a small group chat with six people.

In large groups, no one spoke, while in small groups, there was a barrage of messages.

In less than two hours, the group chatted over 999 points, ranging from the nicknames of the three group leaders to whether White Wolf was a scumbag.

Suddenly, Fang Chi sent a message to the large group chat.

The small group immediately muted its microphone.

The large group is a series of question marks.

..

Fang Chi posted: "Two Giant Cruise Ships Sink One After Another in Southeast Asia: Natural Disaster or Man-Made Catastrophe?" Have you read it?

"Holy crap!" Lu Kui couldn't hold back and stood up abruptly.

His voice echoed in the minibus: "Really? Yes—"

"Shh!" Fang Chi waved his hand.

He glanced at the ticket driver and then sent the information to the large group chat.

"It's those two ships you guessed. The coalition government originally hoped to suppress this matter, but—anyway, it's been exposed."

"There might be some chaos within the Administration Bureau recently, so our group should stay away from that mess."

,

"We have a mission, let's go out and hide for a while, let's treat it as a team building activity!"

Then everyone realized.

For these low-level cultivators, this news was absolutely delightful.

So, without any reservations, everyone started telling all sorts of hilarious jokes about this topic.

Only the white wolf frowned and looked out the car window.

He recalled Lu Wanli, who looked travel-worn the night before.

Could this elderly father have been involved as well?

Will the coalition government investigate this?

Amidst the laughter and merriment, we arrived at the entrance of Longyan Village.

Everyone got off the bus.

The driver nodded to Fang Chi, then stepped on the gas and drove off.

Fang Chi then explained to everyone, "According to procedure, this minibus will drive directly back to the nearest bureau station. It's both a rest stop and a precaution in case we're all wiped out and no one knows."

"Brother, could you please be a little more discreet?" Lu Kui asked with a mournful face.

"Call me teacher!" Fang Chi waved his hand. "I'm right here. Even if you encounter a ghost, there's nothing to be afraid of."

White Wolf felt a toothache as he listened to these people wildly setting up flags.

The location at the entrance to the village is very desolate.

.

He looked toward the center of the village in the distance.

The place was still decorated with lanterns and streamers, but the banquet had already ended.

The elderly men and women sat on one side, watching the drama being performed on the stage next to them with great interest.

The "ee-ya ee-ya" sound came on the night wind, both lively and eerie.

Fang Chi yawned: "Don't panic, this time the target is called a water ghost. It's humanoid, intelligent, and can switch between water and human form. But it has nothing to do with what you're afraid of."
