I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Fang didn't ask him if he was joking.

"Come to the seven places."

"OK."

Half an hour later.

Group Two Office

The information of all seven people was projected onto the wall.

As soon as Lin Ye entered, Tang Zhi made room for him.

"Come, take a look at your seven competitors."

Lin Ye stopped walking.

"What competitors?"

"Boss Han is choosing a concubine."

"..."

Cheng Fang looked up.

"Are you very free?"

Tang Zhi immediately sat up straight.

"Team Leader Cheng, please speak."

Cheng Fang ignored her and opened the first document.

"Zhao Kai, 31 years old, fitness instructor."

"Awakening after the second spiritual tide, the body is strengthened, mainly manifested in increased muscle strength and explosive power."

"Han Jingchuan contacted him twelve days ago through a private gym."

Next one.

"Sun Bo, 27 years old, owner of an auto repair shop."

"It's also a form of physical enhancement."

"Abnormal increase in bone density."

Next one.

"Xue Zheng".

"Restoration type".

"The recovery rate for minor injuries is about five times that of the average person."

One after another.

Seven people.

On the surface, they seem to have no connection.

Different professions.

Different addresses.

Their social circles are completely different.

The only thing they had in common was that they all experienced anomalies after the second spiritual tide.

Moreover, most of these are concentrated in the body.

Tang Zhi listened.

"Does this even need guessing?"

"This job requirement could be written on a recruitment app."

"A healthy body means strong meridians and a quick recovery."

Qin Zhao leaned against the table.

"The question is, how did he know about these people's abilities?"

"Some of the awakened ones said it themselves."

Cheng Fangdao.

"It's everywhere online now."

"Zhao Kai once posted a video of himself breaking a wrench with his bare hands."

Tang Zhi: "...Quite the internet spirit."

"How many are left?"

"The gray area."

Cheng Fang opened several chat screenshots.

After the Spirit Tide.

Many small cliques have emerged among the general public.

Some people exchanged cultivation techniques.

Some people sell so-called spiritual items.

There are also people who specialize in collecting information on Awakened Ones.

In the past two weeks, Han Jingchuan has spent money to buy three batches of goods.

Lin Ye glanced at one of the orders.

age.

gender.

Ability type.

Awakening Time.

Physical changes.

Even whether someone has a chronic illness is included in the remarks.

"They really picked one."

Xu Mian said something in a low voice.

Several people looked at her.

She immediately fell silent.

Lin Ye smiled.

"It's alright, you were quite accurate."

Xu Mian pulled her hat brim down a little.

Cheng Fang continued:

"We just contacted four of them."

"Three people are willing to meet."

"One of them is in the capital."

"Now?"

"Now."

Lin Ye turned around.

"Walk."

Cheng Fang looked at him.

"You're quite proactive."

"What if it really is a competitor I chose? Shouldn't I check their abilities?"

Tang Zhi laughed out loud from behind.

An hour later.

North of the city.

Zhao Kai's private fitness studio.

I'm actually bigger than in the file photo.

Around 1.9 meters tall.

The short-sleeved shirt was stretched taut by the shoulders.

He was visibly nervous when he saw Cheng Fang and the others come in.

"I really didn't do anything illegal."

Cheng Fang showed his identification.

"Normal inquiry."

"That's good."

Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the forest.

"Does your company consider body type when hiring?"

Lin Ye looked down at himself.

"I'm in charge of clerical work."

Tang Zhi almost choked.

Cheng Fang asked directly:

How did Han Jingchuan meet you?

"Boss Han?"

Zhao Kai thought for a moment.

"That's where we met."

"Someone brought him here."

"He said he wanted to hire a personal trainer?"

"In the beginning."

Zhao Kai's expression slowly turned strange.

"The things he asked later were a bit... um."

Tang Zhi became interested.

"Is that strange?"

"He first asked me how strong I was."

"That's normal."

"He also asked how the injury recovery was going."

"It's barely normal."

"Later they asked me if my bones had also hardened."

Zhao Kai scratched his head.

"He even touched me at the end."

The office fell silent.

Lin Ye's expression was indescribable.

"Where should I touch?"

"arm!"

Zhao Kai quickly added a sentence.

"I just pinched it!"

Tang Zhi suppressed a laugh.

"and then?"

He said…

Zhao Kai tried hard to recall.

He said I was "still in good shape".

These four words came out.

Lin Ye and Cheng Fang looked up at the same time.

That's not how modern people speak.

"What else is there to say?"

"They asked me if I had ever practiced any breathing techniques."

"Does it hurt when spiritual energy enters your body?"

"How long can it last at most?"

The more Zhao Kai talked, the more he felt something was wrong.

"I thought he was an awakened one as well."

"Later he asked me if I would like to have a physical examination."

"Give me 50,000."

Cheng Fang asked:

"You went?"

"no."

Zhao Kai felt a little guilty.

"I originally wanted to go."

"Later, my girlfriend said that it would cost 50,000 yuan to have a stranger examine her body, which sounded like she was going to have kidneys cut off."

Tang Zhi nodded.

Your girlfriend saved you.

Zhao Kai's face turned pale.

"Really?"

"I don't know for now."

Lin Ye stood up.

"However, if a strange older man touches you in the future, I suggest charging a higher price."

Zhao Kai: "..."

Leave the gym.

The car hasn't started moving yet.

Cheng Fang then received a call from the second awakened individual.

The other party is not in the capital.

Direct video.

Xue Zheng, a person with restorative abilities.

Han Jingchuan had also been in contact with him.

The question, however, was more direct.

How long does it take to recover from a fracture?

Will significant blood loss affect my abilities?

How long does it take for the body to recover after spiritual energy is depleted?

I even asked:

"If the spiritual energy within your body suddenly increases several times over, can you withstand it?"

The video call ended.

No one spoke in the car.

Tang Zhi couldn't hold back any longer.

"What's the point of investigating this?"

"All that's missing is to ask about their height, weight, and measurements."

Lin Ye looked out the window.

Han Jingchuan did not randomly contact awakened individuals at all.

He is testing.

Choose.

Compare.

Like buying antiques.

However, this time they weren't choosing objects.

are people.

The phone rang.

All spirits.

The forest is connected.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you were going to investigate those Awakened Ones?"

"Um."

"And the result?"

Lin Ye briefly recounted what he had just heard.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Then there's no way out."

"You also feel like you're choosing a physical body?"

"nonsense."

Wanling spoke in a lazy tone.

"Muscles and bones, meridians, recovery, and spiritual energy support."

"Isn't this picking a son-in-law, or a physical candidate?"

Tang Zhi overheard this from the side.

"You old man, you talk in a pretty modern way."

Wanling immediately became alert.

"Who?"

Lin Ye immediately switched to speakerphone.

"colleague."

"Turn it off!"

The forest is closed.

A string of curses came through the earphones.

He waited until all the spirits had finished cursing him.

"What if you had to choose?"

"What?"

"A new body."

Wanling paused for a moment.

This time I'm not joking.

"First, the soul cannot be too weak."

"Too weak, it's easy for it to not be able to hold up after being put in."

"Secondly, the meridians should ideally already be formed."

"It saves us the trouble of raising it from scratch."

"Third, the higher the spiritual energy it can hold, the better."

"And then...?"

It clicked its tongue.

"You are young."

"Good foundation."

"Strong recovery."

"Ideally, it should have been touched by some spiritual treasures, and the body should be thoroughly cleaned."

The expression on Lin Ye's face slowly disappeared.

Lingjing (Spirit Well).

The essence of the well.

After that transparent fragment entered the body.

His body had been washed.

The meridians have been expanded.

My mental resilience is also stronger than before.

Later, the small circulation was closed again.

The chapter on the maintenance of the gods.

Practice the "Return of All Spirits to the Origin" chapter.

What do you think...?

Both fit the bill quite well.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I have."

Wanling continued:

"The best scenario is that the soul itself is stable."

"Otherwise, what's the point if you move in and people go crazy first?"

Done.

It suddenly fell silent.

A few seconds later.

Wanling murmured softly.

"Young Lin."

"Now that you ask..."

"It suits me quite well."

Lin Ye died instantly.

Tang Zhi turned her head.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"Why is your face so dark?"

"It reminds me of something unpleasant."

Cheng Fang glanced at him in the rearview mirror.

"Spiritual essence?"

Lin Ye didn't answer.

The Seventh Division already knew about this matter.

Cheng Fang had obviously thought of that as well.

It's hard to say whether he's even noticed you yet.

"We've already noticed."

Forest road.

That night of the exchange meeting.

Han Jingchuan observed him more than once.

They also know about broken sounds.

The ruins even monitored his meridian circulation during the battle.

Looking back now.

The taste changed.

Tang Zhi patted him on the shoulder.

"don’t worry."

"If all else fails, we'll help you make yourself look worse."

Lin Ye looked at her.

"for example?"

"Staying up late, drinking alcohol, and overeating."

Qin Zhao spoke up from the front.

"That's to help Han Jingchuan marinate."

The car was silent for a second.

Tang Zhi laughed so hard she slapped the seat.

Lin Ye was about to curse.

My phone vibrated.

Unknown number.

It's not a phone call.

Brief news.

There is only one line of text.

Mr. Lin.

The smile on Lin Ye's face slowly faded.

The second one popped up right after.

Your body is indeed better than Han Jingchuan's.

The car fell silent.

Lin Ye stared at the screen for two seconds.

He then handed the phone to Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang's face darkened completely.

Tang Zhi stopped smiling.

"Hold."

"He really likes you?"

Lin Ye leaned back in his chair.

Staring at the street scene receding into the distance outside the window.

after awhile.

He then spoke.

"You have a good eye."

"It's really disgusting."
