The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 44: What an Absurd World!
Single Spirit Root?
Sometimes Lin Hao really couldn’t understand the judgment mechanism of the log.
Cash is judged as Spirit Stone, medicine as elixir, costume as Magic Robe...
Lin Hao could understand all that.
But walking around, seeing so many couples in this amusement park, finding a Spirit Root named "Single" in such a place doesn’t seem right.
Look!
There’s someone proposing over there!
"Xiao Mei, marry me! I’ve liked you for a long time! Every time you start a livestream, I’m the first to tune in! Watching you, I learned what love is and felt the meaning of life! My life beats for you, I’ll protect you forever..."
"Beep———"
A horn blared, ruining the proposal atmosphere, causing the onlookers to look unhappily in the direction of the sound.
Only to see a man holding up a horn like a proud statue, stepping out from the dividing crowd.
"What are you doing! Can’t you see I’m proposing? You’re ruining my confession, that’s really killing it."
The proposal guy was a little angry, but in front of the one he fancied, he had to maintain his gentlemanly persona.
The woman who was being proposed to saw the man with the horn, the emotions from the proposal...
Turned into surprise!
The woman jumped out from the heart-shaped roses, took the horn guy’s other hand, and sweetly said:
"Hubby, what are you doing here!"
Onlookers: ?
Proposal guy: ??????
The proposal guy got up from the ground, with a somewhat dazed look, came up to the woman:
"You’re married?"
"Yes."
"Why didn’t you say so!"
"You didn’t ask."
"You’re married, why did you agree to meet me out here!!!" The proposal guy almost hysterically roared.
The woman was a bit scared, hiding behind the horn guy.
The horn guy gave the woman a reassuring look, smiled, and said to the proposal guy:
"Ranking Brother, I know you’re mad, but don’t be mad just yet.
There are many reasons my wife does livestreams.
Because I’m unemployed...
Because we have elders upstairs and kids downstairs...
Because our eldest is in elementary school and we need to buy a school district house...
Because our second child is in pre-school and needs tuition...
Because we have elderly to care for...
Ha, um, haha, hahahaha, sorry, I really can’t hold it in anymore!
Ranking Brother, don’t be mad, if you punch me in anger, you might easily injure me lightly to second degree! You’ll go to jail for that!
But don’t worry, I’ll definitely give your compensation a... 1% discount! Yes, 1% off! Haha, hahaha, dear, watch this, your husband is about to make big money! Everyone, record this as proof for me!"
The proposal guy, no, the Ranking Brother at this moment, clenched his fists, his head clouded with rage.
The next second, he was about to throw a punch.
Under Lin Hao’s Divine Thought perception, the toad-glasses suit man who had been watching the drama leisurely walked to the Ranking Brother’s side, and tapped his shoe heel on the ground.
The angry expression on Ranking Brother’s face quickly disappeared, replaced by a sense of joy.
"Why... do I feel happy?"
The Ranking Brother was baffled, could it be... that I’m a Minotaur?
As the Ranking Brother fell into confusion, the toad-glasses suit man adjusted his suit.
The originally arrogant and happy horn guy’s expression became somewhat... serious.
The horn guy turned back to his wife and seriously said:
"Wife, as an honorable man, I must tell you the truth in front of everyone today.
I’m using your money, living in the house you bought, and I have two affairs outside.
One is younger than you.
One is prettier than you.
Why do you look like you don’t believe me? Here, let me show you chat records..."
Slap!
Quickly, the woman gave the horn guy a slap.
Ranking Brother: Yo~ this woman is a bit feisty, good thing I didn’t get married!
Then, the horn guy and the woman started fighting.
Ranking Brother: Hmm, I really should be happy.
Seeing some people starting to call the police, Ranking Brother decisively opened his wallet, pulled out a wad of cash:
"I’m throwing money! I’m throwing money! I have too much money with nowhere to spend it~"
The crowd was thrown into chaos, the air filled with...
A lively atmosphere.
Picking up free money, how joyous!
Lin Hao, having seen the whole process, thought...
The amusement park spawning a "Single Spirit Root"...
Actually makes sense.
Not spawning a "Big Moron Spirit Root" is already giving a lot of face.
And the toad-suit glasses guy who made the key contribution retreated outside the crowd, taking deep breaths, looking very pleased.
Under Lin Hao’s Divine Thought perception, some power was being absorbed by the toad-suit glasses guy...
The people picking up money, seemed less joyful.
The money-throwing Ranking Brother, seemed less joyful.
And the couple fighting in the crowd...
Were fighting even harder!
Does this count as using Extraordinary Power to interfere with ordinary people’s lives?
Lin Hao, although not part of the City Management Team, as an ordinary "Superpower User", filing a report is still doable...
"Arrest arrest arrest..." Police cars whistled through.
"Gonna die gonna die gonna die..." Ambulance engines roared.
"Beep beep beep beep... make way make way..."
Members of the City Management Team near the amusement park, followed in a two-seater "open door" electric patrol car.
The toad-suit glasses guy took the chance to slip away, turned around, and knocked someone to the ground...
Who else but Yadan.
"Ah! You knocked me down, today without 500,000, this won’t end!"
As he spoke, Yadan grabbed the toad-suit glasses guy’s calf, his movements skilled and fluid...
"No!
Don’t touch my sexy leg hair!!! I just combed it this morning!!!"
Experienced Yadan, never thought he’d encounter...
Such resistance.
Still not enough experience.
Went straight into a daze...
Fortunately, his City Management Team buddies were effective, surrounding quickly.
"Suit shoes with beach shorts! Plus toad glasses! Don’t you know it’s city cleanup time?"
"Wearing weird clothes during city cleanup, and knocking people over! No sense of city honor!"
"Come with us~"
The police maintained the scene’s order, picked up a banknote from the ground...
Hmm?
Fake bill?
"Who dropped this fake bill!"
"It’s me, it’s me." Ranking Brother raised a small hand.
"You, come with us too! Show your ID card."
"Officer... I don’t have an ID card, I’m not even fourteen yet."
Police: You do seem to be in a hurry to grow up...
The chaos at the scene cleared up quickly, but Lin Hao and Li Chuchu didn’t really feel like playing around anymore...
Mainly Lin Hao wasn’t in the mood, he wanted to go back and absorb the "Lower Grade Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root".
"If you have something to do, go ahead, I’ll wait for the staff, gotta see them home~"
Li Chuchu stood at the haunted house entrance and waved at Lin Hao.
After Lin Hao left, Li Chuchu called her dad’s assistant:
"Uncle, uncle, can you demolish the haunted house?"
"Why not?"
...
Back at the City Management Team, Lin Hao’s phone pinged with a news notification—
#Underage Ranking Brother rewards over a million, initiates online refund#
Lin Hao shook his head, truly an absurd world.
But what does that have to do with him?
Back in the room, summoning the protector incarnation, Lin Hao began to absorb the Lower Grade Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root.
[The Lower Grade Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root held by Lin Hao begins to merge into the body]
[The Lower Grade Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root is an Innate Spirit Root, Lin Hao’s original Wood Element Lower Grade Pseudo Spirit Root is absorbed]
[The Lower Grade Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root merges with the Wood Element Lower Grade Pseudo Spirit Root]
[The source of the original Wood Element Lower Grade Pseudo Spirit Root is canine]
[Lin Hao possesses a Lower Grade Fire Wood Attribute Single Dog Spirit Root]
After gaining the Lower Grade Fire Wood Attribute Single Dog Spirit Root, Lin Hao could feel more Spiritual Qi in the air...
With Fire Attribute...
With Wood Attribute...
And also...
The aura of a single dog.
[Lower Grade Fire Wood Attribute Single Dog Spirit Root:
Capable of sensing beneficial Fire Attribute and Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi in the air, with cultivation benefits among single people or dog groups or dogs owned by single people.]
