Chapter 68: Chapter 52 Master Wang Being Relied On_2

Another issue was what technical occupations were needed on the frontline.

The profession of Mechanics caught Wang Jixuan’s eye.

According to Lingtong’s description, mechanics were indispensable talents on the frontline, mainly responsible for the maintenance of various types and models of mechas.

She had a team of sixteen mechanics who were responsible for the daily maintenance of her mechanical arm and assorted equipment.

Wang Jixuan did not ask further questions and began to look for information related to mechanics after returning, and then...

He embarked on his journey of self-study for certification exams.

"If this world had methods of cultivation, I wonder if one would also need to take exams for qualifications," Master Wang sighed as he returned to his desk.

When the day before, he couldn’t resist, he released two-thirds of the spiritual power from those three crystal cores, taking a small step toward the Gathering Spirit Realm and leaving some spiritual power as an emergency backup.

——In case his mana was exhausted during a magical fight, he could use them to recover quickly.

He also crafted a batch of Sealing Demon Talismans, wrapping each of the crystal cores in one, and wrapped another layer of Blast Talismans around them. If they were detected, he would just detonate them, leaving no evidence.

Blade Beasts really were valuable all over.

Apart from being a bit fierce and ugly, their bones, flesh, crystal cores, and even residual souls could shine and radiate warmth in Daoist Wang’s hands.

——A Righteous Cultivator is always prepared to exorcize demons and defend the path, and he certainly was reading books about Soul Refining Evil Techniques from the Scripture Pavilion only to understand his enemies better, not out of curiosity, and he had never attempted anything.

He crossed his legs and opened the book "Mechanics: Professional Level One" in front of him, starting his diligent self-study.

He never forgot to absorb spiritual energy at the same time.

He aimed to succeed in entering the Gathering Spirit Realm and passing the Junior Mechanic certification exam at the same time!

After an unknown period, his spiritual sense twitched slightly.

Just as Master Wang was about to recite the Heart Clarity Spell to improve his concentration on reading, he turned his head instinctively towards the door.

A familiar scent, accompanied by unfamiliar spices.

Lingtong?

Why was she here again?

Didn’t they agree that the three people who knew his new identity wouldn’t contact him for a while?

...

"May I come in?"

Lingtong spoke softly.

Her outfit today was still simple and comfortable, with a particular fondness for tight jeans.

Wang Jixuan stepped aside from the door, waved her in quickly, and instinctively glanced outside.

The overall stealth was quite serious.

Lingtong looked around the room’s simple layout and noticed the books and notebooks on the desk, glancing briefly at their contents.

"Something urgent?"

Wang Jixuan asked with a frown.

Lingtong said softly, "Two things. One is a reminder that among the new Spiritual Ability Users here, some have energy reactions above C-level, but you don’t have to worry about that as the military will take corresponding actions. The other thing, I would like to ask you for the same favor you did last time."

Wang Jixuan inquired, "A massage?"

"Yes," Lingtong’s gaze shifted to the side.

She seemed a bit embarrassed.

"It really helped a lot, I’ve been sleeping well these past few days, I react faster, and I’m experiencing less dizziness."

"Take a seat."

Daoist Wang was very straightforward, pulling out a chair for her.

Lingtong said, "I will compensate you appropriately."

How about a box of Low-level Blade Beast Crystal Cores?

Wang Jixuan just smiled and did not ask further.

Lingtong sat up straight in the chair, while he went to the wardrobe to find a pair of brand new tactical gloves, then turned on the holographic music player and came back to Lingtong’s back.

The gentle voice of T.E.R with the accompanying notes enveloped the room.

"Relax, just treat it as a nap while sitting."

"Okay," Lingtong agreed and leaned back on the chair with her eyes closed.

Wang Jixuan gently pressed on either side of her neck and slowly moved towards her shoulders, allowing a faint, barely perceptible qi to flow into Lingtong’s shoulder.

They did not have much conversation, one giving a massage, the other resting.

Soon, Lingtong’s head drooped down, no snoring sound was heard, and she fell into a light sleep.

Wang Jixuan did not stop; he carefully placed his fingertips on her head’s acupoints, continuing to alleviate the tension.

He knew the root problem of Lingtong’s dizziness.

It was a small patch of stagnant qi in Lingtong’s brain, invisible and intangible, probably the mark left by a General Level Blade Beast’s dying spiritual impact.

Wang Jixuan was not strong enough to dispel this mark directly, but he could relieve a bit of her headaches and dizziness each time, helping her to cope.

What was her story?

Did she lose her arm in battle?

Her mechanical arm was actually connected to her spine, which had also been mechanized along with some of her skeletal structure.

Body and hair are gifts from one’s parents; had she obtained her parents’ consent before modifying herself?

It seemed that this world did not prioritize such considerations.

He, too, had been whisked away by his master at the age of three for cultivation, leaving behind a sum of money as compensation to his family.

Wang Jixuan’s movements became increasingly gentle, his heart brimming with a few more strands of wondrous insight.

An entirely new kind of insight he had never experienced before.

...

Master Wang discovered...

It seemed that he was being pestered by the Battle Girl.

After her second massage session, Major Lingtong showed up at his door again three days later.

It wasn’t exactly pestering since Major Lingtong always brought compensation for her previous massage session each time she visited.

Still, the frequency of Lingtong’s visits was indeed increasing.

Initially, it was once every two or three days, then it became every day.

Every day, Wang Jixuan had to dedicate half an hour, time when he could not cultivate or read, just to give her a massage for recovery.

What Master Wang found most intolerable was that, initially, Lingtong would leave immediately after the massage, but later on, she started to rest for a while;

In less than a month, once she realized that Wang Jixuan scarcely ever used the bed, she began taking naps there!

Fortunately, Master Wang also received some corresponding compensation.

A music player with better sound quality, a recliner that one could lie on or sprawl out in, a pair of exquisite care gloves...

Wait, were these compensations really for him?

Latterly, Lingtong seemed to run out of ideas for compensation, so she brought her personal collectible—two large pieces of high-level Blade Beast Outer Bone.

Wang Jixuan’s smile was as radiant as the spring sunshine.

Just these two pieces of outer bone alone made his time and mana spent recently more than worthwhile!

However, amongst the gifts Lingtong brought, what Wang Jixuan found the most preposterous was the one she gave him today.

"This is the admission ticket," Lingtong patiently instructed, "I’ve pre-registered you. The exam is at noon tomorrow at this address on the seventh layer, the Junior Mechanic test, and also..."

Master Wang was slightly dazed, "What?"

"Here are the examination questions and answers. Remember to get one question wrong on purpose. A perfect score would require a retest."

"This..."

"Only if you’re willing."

Lingtong shouldered her mechanical arm and calmly explained:

"I’m temporarily stationed in Sector C of the 76 Fortress Outer Expansion Zone. I can recruit you into my logistics team. I know your skills are quite special and you possess invaluable massage techniques, so I’ll try to provide you with some material compensation. When I return to the front lines, I’ll recommend you for an easy position in the 76 Fortress Upper City... I know this might be asking too much since the conditions in the Outer Expansion Zone are harsh and there’s also the risk of Blade Beast attacks, but I’ll protect you with all my might..."

"There’s also the risk of Blade Beast attacks?"

Wang Jixuan quietly asked.

Lingtong nodded gently, a hint of sadness in her bright eyes, but her expression remained as calm as usual.

She said, "Yes."

"Then I’ll consider it."

Wang Jixuan turned around.

The corners of his mouth were difficult to control as he attempted to adjust his facial expression, aiming to not seem too readily agreeable later on.

He was a cultivator with a plethora of unique skills—in matters where others sought his help, naturally, they had to appeal to him.

Slight disappointment showed on Lingtong’s pretty face, "Forget I said anything... "

"I’m willing, I don’t have other options. They’re still investigating the whereabouts of the Black Storm," Wang Jixuan said calmly, "I might as well lay low for a while."

"Then, I’ll come over tomorrow afternoon to pick you up; you can get the certification on the spot after the exam."

"No problem."

"Alright."

Lingtong nodded calmly, turned, and walked briskly toward the door.

Bang!

She looked at the doorknob in her hand that had come off and pursed her lips.

Wang Jixuan: "No worries, I’ll just ask for repairs..."

"Sorry for breaking it, well, see you tomorrow then."

"Alright, hey!"

Before Wang Jixuan could say anything more, Lingtong used brute force to pry the metal door open, picked it up, turned around, and put it back in the frame, then quickly left with her head lowered.

Master Wang’s forehead was lined with black marks.

Thankfully, she hadn’t actually taken the door with her, leaving it behind for him.

Why was her mood so fluctuating?

That’s very unprofessional.
