It was now 7:30 in the morning, and the two regular customers hadn't arrived yet. Zhao Yuhan was the only one in the store.
Zhao Yuhan lowered her head and opened the book "Methods for Improving the Inner Demon". She saw that the pages were full of traditional Chinese characters arranged vertically. The words in the book were obscure and the sentences were difficult. She, a sophomore science student in high school, could barely understand it, except for the words on the title page.
You can roughly understand it in a few sentences:
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all species are at war with each other.
Throughout his life, Yuan Zhi was not weaker than others.
Preach the Dharma to a thousand people, waiting for a chance.
Come into my door and never complain.
"It's strange... can this kind of book be sold?"
Zhao Yuhan stepped on the round book pedal and tiptoed to put the book back on the top of the bookshelf.
As soon as she got off the desk, the "Method for Improving the Inner Demon" written by Zhu Yuanzhi popped out of the bookshelf. The black single-page book changed like smoke in the air, turning into a drop of indistinguishable ink and hitting the center of her eyebrows.
Zhao Yuhan was frozen in place, unable to move, and even with all his strength, he could not make a sound. He could only feel a little drop of water swimming around in his mind, constantly absorbing something in his consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly broke free from the restraints, her body was shaking slightly, and her confused eyes seemed like she was still dreaming.
In just a moment, she experienced countless possible futures in her consciousness, a future that was a complete failure, a future that was mediocre and trivial, a future that she was unwilling to accept.
Everything in the dream was so real, those regrets were like dark red poisonous flames clinging to her heart, keeping her awake all night, feeling sorry for herself again and again... She did not become a shining hero, she became dust in the mud.
.
Just because she did not choose to give it a go at the critical moment in her life, did not fight desperately for what she wanted, endured for a while, compromised in every possible way, and took a step back, leading to the abyss.
"Ninety percent determination is not determination, 100% determination is determination.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you lose, you will have nothing...
The Magical Girl Force only recruits recruits under the age of 18. I only have one chance, and I must win this time."
Zhao Yuhan murmured to himself, his weak voice full of determination.
The ink droplets in her mind have dissipated invisible. The evil method called "Inner Demon Diligence Method" is running on its own deep in the subconscious, gathering and kneading the tiny distracting thoughts, turning them into inner demons that can shake the self.
Emerged in Zhao Yuhan's flash of thought.
A desperate future is scary, and fear can make people break through the shackles and shells in their hearts.
The salivating beasts are chasing after me. The place I am in is dark, and in front of me is an ideal as bright as a beacon.
“As long as you keep stimulating your potential and defeating your inner demons, you will make progress dozens of times faster than following a step-by-step approach.
If I can get in touch with the deep magic before the selection... the Evil Disaster Bureau will definitely recognize me.
If you want to win, you must become a better version of yourself!”
Zhao Yuhan clenched her fists and extracted the first inner demon from her consciousness. According to the "Inner Demon Diligence Method", the first inner demon was the thing she was most afraid of and needed to overcome at the moment.
Evil-shaped demonic figures emerged from the swamp of consciousness, and on top of the demon's head was a face she was most familiar with.
"Mother……"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Li Zhixian, who came to Ying Xuetang Bookstore for breakfast, patted Zhao Yuhan, who was in a daze, to wake her up from her sluggish state.
Zhao Yuhan took a few deep breaths and said:
"I'm fine. Sister, you were right last night. You can't become a hero just by taking notes."
"ha?"
Li Zhixian looked at Zhao Yuhan's back walking towards the coffee area and felt that there seemed to be something different about the little girl today, but she couldn't tell where it was.
"strange……"
…
Not long after, Liang De also arrived at the bookstore.
He stood at the door and watched for a long time. Behind the cashier counter, Zhao Yuhan took advantage of the fact that there were no customers yet, bowing her head and reviewing the test questions carefully. The magic power on her body was fluctuating regularly, and she was focused without any distractions. She didn't even notice that Liang De was here.
From four o'clock in the morning to now, he has not thought of any suitable solution.
Huang Chuanchao's suggestion was just a joke on him. It is not that easy to become a follower of the evil god.
As a senior evil god employee, he knew very well that for the evil gods in Thunder Bluff, their subordinates were just tools.
They do not need faith, nor do they care whether their subordinates are pious or not. The first requirement of tool people is to be "useful".
If you are of no use to the Four Thunder Friends, no matter how pious you are, you will not gain their approval.
The so-called blood of piety does not mean how pious this bloodline is. The translation of this title actually means: after long-term testing, it can stand out, be widely applicable, perform stably, and have the ability to reproduce.
The Pious Bloods who have coexisted with the Four Thunder Friends for a long time also know very well: Piety is secondary, and ease of use is fundamental.
If you are only pious and don't use it, you will be kicked out of the true blood lineage sooner or later. In the eyes of the four friends of Thunder, loyalty without use value is meaningless. Kukai evil god is not a philanthropist, and white crystal clusters cannot support idle people.
Therefore, a little girl like Zhao Yuhan, who is useless to Teacher Fengxian, is basically impossible to become a member of the Evil God of Thunder Evil Sect.
Virgins don't like this. As for the Thunder True Sect, which currently has the largest number of members in the industry... Liang De really can't accept Lai Pu Xuande's greening ideas, and he doesn't dare to introduce the little girl to that green grassland.
Liang De contacted his assistant Oldman, who was still studying in Hai Zhong Jie Yuan, and asked him to help him collect examples of ordinary people becoming dependents of evil gods. The information has not been sent yet, and it will probably have to wait until the evening.
"Xiaohan, you are studying so early. Don't work too hard. Haste makes waste. You have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
"Well, morning, Uncle Liang. Breakfast is already prepared and placed in the microwave."
Zhao Yuhan didn't even raise her head, her eyes seemed to be rooted in the examination questions, and she had no intention of chatting more with Liang De.
But at this moment, Liang De has no idea of supporting young people's serious study. Zhao Yuhan's polluter constitution cannot be solved, and the more she learns, the more dangerous she is. Although Huang Chuanchao said that she would not be able to come into contact with deep magic without receiving formal higher magic education, but in case
She is a one-of-a-kind magic prodigy. For example, she has eaten sweet potatoes since she was a child, so her magic power is particularly strong.
"Xiaohan, have you heard of Tai Fengxian?"
"I know, the winner of the Popularity Award for the Ying Xuetang Centenary Outstanding Novel Award, his book is in the middle of the first row in the library area. Uncle Liang, if you buy it now, you will get a 20% discount."
"No, no, let's talk about buying books later. I just want to ask you what you think of Teacher Tai Fengxian and his works. Have you read his books? What do you think?"
