54: There is a reason why the Dark Type is wanted worldwide.
Back home, Tang Gao put down his schoolbag, stretched on the sofa, and felt his overall mental state was pretty good.
Continuously using the One Mind, Two Uses skill for Cultivation was a bit draining on his spirit, but he could grit his teeth and persevere.
After General Liu's urging, Tang Gao realized the importance of strength.
General Liu wouldn't secretly harm him, but others might.
"Alright, let me see today's gains."
Violent Justice continued to execute one to three-star missions as usual. After completing them, he would stay in the Shadow World to Cultivate and improve his Realm, maintaining stable performance.
The good news was that after numerous trials, Violent Justice was now able to independently complete three-star missions, though it was a bit time-consuming. However, letting him independently Reincarnate infinitely meant it wouldn't be a burden on Tang Gao.
A four-star mission was still an almost impossible task for Violent Justice, due to the limitations of his strength and the cap on his mental power. Forcibly attempting it might cause Violent Justice to collapse.
The key factor was also very simple.
Tang Gao had Infinite Evolution, Violent Justice did not.
The Alchemist Avatar was still Alchemizing, treating illnesses, and distributing Medicinal Pills in the square, persistently trying to disrupt the Three-Leaf Clover Group's market, but with limited success.
However, thanks to Old Mister Fang, the big boss of Tong Ren Tang, intervening, all medicines under the Three-Leaf Clover Group brand were sold at low prices, causing the entire city to dump Three-Leaf Clover Group branded medicines, which significantly increased the mission progress.
Now, any medicine under the Three-Leaf Clover Group brand had become worthless, causing the Sān Yè Cǎo Group Liang City Branch's revenue to plummet.
However, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. The Three-Leaf Clover Group's foundation was solid, so it was still impossible for it to collapse in a short period.
The good news was that the Alchemist's professional mission had successfully advanced a portion. At this current pace, working hard for another one to two days might allow him to complete it.
[Congratulations to the user for receiving two and a half years of Cultivation.]
Among these, the Cultivation rewards from the Alchemist selling to the System shop were more numerous, but in terms of Cultivation quality, Violent Justice was the strongest provider.
[Congratulations to the user for receiving exquisite blade skills experience, proficient shooting experience, proficient stealth experience...]
In terms of combat experience, Violent Justice consistently provided it.
"Based on my current situation, I need to accumulate twelve years of Cultivation to reach the Second Order."
[Tang Gao's Cultivation: Eight years and eleven months]
Tang Gao stroked his chin: "Even a perfect completion of a three-star mission is only one year of Cultivation. If I could clear four-star missions, I might be able to give it a try."
In five days in the real world, his Cultivation had reached the Late Stage of the First Order. This was an incredibly terrifying pace.
Tang Gao took out the Heaven Nurturing Pill and also retrieved the instruction manual from a hidden compartment in his schoolbag. He flipped through the precautions for consumption, read them carefully, and turned to the last page.
Tang Gao's expression became strange: "If you do not have the above symptoms or conditions, normal people only need to take it as directed."
"Emmm..."
The person who wrote this instruction manual was truly detailed, successfully wasting twenty minutes of my time.
Excluding pregnant women, young children, and other considerations, normal Cultivators only needed to pay attention to one thing when taking it.
Tang Gao looked at the Medicinal Pill, which might be even larger than his throat, and picked it up with a strange expression: "Swallow it whole? Are you serious?"
The most effective way to take it was actually to swallow it whole.
Simply put, swallow it in one gulp, don't chew it.
The only downside was that it was a bit large.
Tang Gao, feeling a bit uneasy, summoned Violent Justice and took a sharp breath: "I'm going to take the Medicinal Pill in a bit. If I can't swallow it, hand me the water."
Violent Justice picked up the water glass nearby, ready to hand it to his main body at any time. At the same time, he clenched his right fist, ready to deliver a blow if his main body choked.
Tang Gao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, directly shoved it into his mouth, forced it down, his eyes wide with anger, and swallowed hard.
It had to be said that the person who refined this Medicinal Pill was truly meticulous, fully considering the Physique of a First Order Cultivator.
Although it was a real struggle, he actually swallowed it!
Tang Gao took the water glass, tears streaming down his face from the struggle, and quickly drank several large gulps of water before he felt the Heaven Nurturing Pill obediently slide down his esophagus into his stomach.
Tang Gao sat cross-legged on the sofa, speeding up the circulation of his Cultivation Technique to promote the digestion of the Medicinal Pill's efficacy.
Soon, a pop-up window appeared in front of Tang Gao.
A smile appeared on Tang Gao's face: "Very good, I also have a Talent Spell now."
Upon seeing the Talent Spell, the smile quickly froze.
He closed the window, took a deep breath, and then opened the window again.
Tang Gao clutched his head, feeling a numb sensation: "Holy shit!"
No wonder Cultivators of the Dark System were hunted by the entire world!
[Congratulations to the user for Awakening a Talent Spell.]
[Shadow System · Talent Spell · Devour]
[Devour: Completely devour a life form to obtain random rewards—Attributes, Memories, Skills, Talents, etc.]
The Talent Spells of the Medical System would enhance healing or allow one life form to be fully restored each day. How quiet, how adorable, and how useful.
The Talent Spells of the Zhanqi System would enhance Physique or strength, or allow moves to stack and burst, which were also practical and cool.
The Talent Spells of the Dark System naturally carried a Demonic Path color. It would be a waste not to become a Demonic Cultivator.
It was no wonder that Cultivators of the Dark System easily strayed onto the Demonic Path.
It wasn't because people who Awakened the Dark System were inherently bad, but rather that those with this kind of Talent Spell were more likely to come into contact with the Demonic Path.
Over time, everyone developed an extremely negative impression of this attribute, leading to a stereotype.
Of course, this stereotype was correct.
The reasoning was simple, just like how a good person couldn't possibly go to nightclubs and bars every day.
If you claimed to be a good person, others could only offer a polite chuckle.
Tang Gao's Heart-Nature was firm; he wouldn't walk the Demonic Path. But if others Awakened Dark System abilities, and their numbers increased, those of the Dark System were indeed more prone to causing major incidents.
Not to mention anything else, within the same series of Talent Spells, large-scale blood sacrifices were not new in history.
Tang Gao was utterly speechless and decided that his main body would never use this Spell. In the future, this move could only be used cautiously when the Clone appeared.
"Alright, let me see what kind of surprise missions today's lucky Three-Leaf Clover Group contestant has provided me with~"
He clicked on the mission list and filtered out the Three-Leaf Clover Group missions.
Since the main mission was activated and the Alchemist Avatar was added, the mission System had become more complete and intelligent, refreshing more missions for him to choose from than before.
Tang Gao glanced at the three-star missions, directly chose to filter them out, and immediately began looking at the four-star missions.
A mere three-star mission dares to be seen by me?
With such great progress, shouldn't four-star missions be the starting point?
[Four-star mission: Destroy the Three-Leaf Clover Group's storage base]
[Note: Upon completion of this mission, the four-star missions available to the Alchemist Avatar will significantly increase.]
Tang Gao clicked on the mission details and checked the number and quality of enemies.
"As expected of a four-star mission, the number of Cultivators is several hundred at least. As for quality... A Fourth Order Battle Qi Cultivator?"
Tang Gao stroked his chin, a bit hesitant: "A Fourth Order Battle Qi Cultivator... This is a bit tricky."
First Order Cultivator, Acquired Realm.
Second Order Cultivator, Innate Realm.
Third Order Cultivator, Qi Condensation Realm.
Fourth Order Cultivator, Foundation Establishment Realm.
At the Foundation Establishment Stage, not only could one fly, but their defensive capabilities had also transformed to withstand cannon attacks. His rocket launcher might not even be effective.
Tang Gao stretched his neck, cracked his knuckles, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "No pain, no gain! Infinite Reincarnation, activate!"
If it really didn't work, he'd just pile on the evolution bar!
Tang Gao thought for a moment, then directly summoned the Alchemist Avatar and handed him a battle saber: "Change into a disguise and come with me on this mission."
The Alchemist Avatar caught the battle saber, and question marks slowly floated above his head, with great confusion in his large eyes: "Your Excellency, I am merely an Alchemist."
Tang Gao patted him on the shoulder, a brilliant smile on his face: "Medicine and poison are not separate. You can be a poison Alchemist. We can't have everyone else risking their lives while you're enjoying yourself, can we?"
The Alchemist Avatar's mouth twitched, wanting to curse but stopping himself, and could only choose to abandon medicine for poison.
Give me some gifts, guys, it's hard to write five or six thousand words without much money, who can stand it~
