He Actually Saw Overtime Pay in the Cultivation World

[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Table Color Matching (Level D) -- Your color schemes are more pleasing to the eye when creating ledgers.]

[Current equipment Trait 9/9: Heavy Tomato User / Salty Fish / Artisan Spirit / Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement / Bully at Home / Workwear Thug/ Passing the Buck / Flattery / Workplace People-Pleaser.]

Should we replace it?

Lu Ping stared at the words "Table Color Matching" and remained silent for a long time.

Eight years of work experience.

Acting Elder.

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

The Dao of Alchemy has progressed to the edge of the middle grade.

As a result, the system gave him a ledger beautification plugin.

This crappy Simulator will be acquired by capitalists sooner or later.

[You choose not to change.]

[That year, the second Foundation Establishment elder of the Greenwood Sect announced his seclusion.]

[It's common for cultivators to go into seclusion.]

[Especially for Foundation Establishment elders, who often go into seclusion for months or years, no one will delve too deeply into their affairs.]

[But you discover from the Alchemy Hall's allocation records that before this elder went into seclusion, the Main Hall temporarily withdrew a batch of blood-tonifying and calming Pills.]

[Blood-Replenishing Pills, Meridian-Nourishing Paste, Spirit-Calming Pellet, Soul-Soothing Incense.]

[The usage was small, and the accounts were clean.]

[Even every single stroke bears the Main Hall's seal.]

It's so clean.

[Close the ledger.]

[A Foundation Establishment Elder who is normally in seclusion trying to break through a bottleneck doesn't need so many blood-replenishing pills and Calming Spirit Pill.]

[Unless he was already injured before he went into seclusion.]

[Furthermore, the extent of the injuries cannot be disclosed.]

[You think of Han Changqing.]

[Your sense of urgency is intensifying.]

[You further accelerate the deduction of the Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill.]

[27 years old, 9 years of work experience. Trait being updated...]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Pouring Water at the Meeting (Level D)...]

No replacement.

Lu Ping had already given up hope of consistently producing low-quality Trait.

[This year, another Foundation Establishment Elder chose to go into seclusion.]

[Starting with Qi Cangshu, one Foundation Establishment elder has been going into seclusion every year. After three such elders, the Greenwood Sect has fewer and fewer people who can openly check and balance the Main Hall.]

Your unease is intensifying.

[The good news is that you have finally completed the Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill.]

[However, the alternative to the Nine-Orifice Spirit Embryo Root still lacks one key ingredient.]

[The last ingredient, "Void-Aperture Jade Marrow," is unavailable at the Greenwood Sect, Green Grain Shop cannot obtain it either.]

[You've put the revised formula for the Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill Formula into your Storage Ring.]

You can only wait for the fortuitous opportunity.

[The Fate-Reforming Pill is temporarily unavailable, so you've prioritized items that can save your life.]

[The missing ingredients for the Mind-Erasing Powder are not significant; the three main ingredients can be gathered.]

[Sense-Erasing Grass, Yin Soul Dew, Corrupting Spirit Wood Shavings]

[Among them, there are two plants of the Sense-Erasing Grass in the Greenwood Sect warehouse.]

[When you flipped through the ledger, you found that these two plants of the Sense-Erasing Grass" were listed in the "Discarded Medicines" section.]

[Note: This medicine is harmful to the mind and spirit; it is not recommended for use in elixirs.]

[You wrote "retrieve" in the approval column.]

Qian Dafu received the ledger, and his wrist trembled slightly.

"Senior Brother Lu, no one has used this medicine before."

"If this thing is moved, the warehouse will definitely question us."

[You are appointed as the Alchemy Chamber General Token.]

"Let them ask me."

Qian Dafu took the account books away.

[Half an hour later, a disciple from the storeroom personally delivered the jade box.]

[When he put the jade box down, he didn't even dare touch the edge of the table.]

"Deacon Lu, the Sense-Erasing Grass is harmful to your spirit; be careful when opening the box."

[You nod.]

["Lay down."]

[After the storeroom disciple left the inner room, his back was soaked with sweat.]

[One month later, you completed the preliminary simulation of the Mind-Erasing Powder and began the furnace test.]

[As soon as the Pill Furnace was lit, a thin mist of medicinal ash began to rise and escape.]

[Effective for Heavy Tomato Users.]

[This is effective on Salty Fish.]

[The medicinal mist was suppressed before it could invade the Sea of Consciousness.]

[The Artisan Spirit takes effect.]

[Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement effective.]

[Breakthrough attempt.]

[Only a layer of dark gray medicinal powder remained at the bottom of the furnace.]

[You extend a wisp of your Divine Sense to probe.]

[The moment their Divine Sense touched the medicinal powder, a small piece was immediately bitten off.]

[You withdraw your Divine Sense; a slight pain arises in your Sea of Consciousness.]

Even Heavy Tomato User (a popular Chinese sports blogging platform) are not completely immune to damage to Divine Sense.

You recall the words of the old master's disciple, "Don't burn yourself to death."

[Options pop up.]

[A: Continue the deduction and perfect the Pill Formula of Mind-Erasing Powder as soon as possible.]

[B: Suspend the deduction of the Mind-Erasing Powder to avoid attracting Han Changqing's attention.]

[C: Repackage the "Mind-Erasing Powder" as "Refreshing Incense Ash" and place it at the entrance of the Main Hall for trial sales.]

Lu Ping chose A.

Using the Divine Sense Annihilation Pill to counter Han Changqing's Golden Core Talisman Seal is the only solution Lu Ping can think of at the moment.

Even if there are risks, we should still try.

[You chose A.]

[Continue to deduce the Mind-Erasing Powder.]

[The quality of the Mind-Erasing Powder is far inferior to that of the Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill.]

The difficulty lies not in the medicinal materials.

[And since every bit of the medicine's effect must tread the line between Divine Sense and reality, you still cannot become immune.]

In the days that followed, you refined elixirs, cultivated your skills, and concocted poisons.

[The stinging sensation in my Sea of Consciousness is becoming more and more frequent.]

[Effective for Heavy Tomato Users.]

[This is effective on Salty Fish.]

[You were not harmed by the medicinal mist.]

[And each failure will make you more immune to the Mind-Erasing Powder.]

[A true Heavy Tomato User!]

[You suddenly remember a meme, "You keep making fun of it, and then you get used to it."]

[Twenty-eight years old, ten years of work experience. Trait generating...]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Overtime (Level B) -- If you work more than four hours a day, your efficiency will be halved, but your earnings will triple.]

Should we replace it?

Lu Ping stared at the words "Overtime" and was completely struck by them.

The most absurd thing from my past life has actually been made up for in the world of cultivation.

Earnings triple after eight hours.

This isn't Trait for Tom, is it?!

This was Overtime than he had ever dreamed of in his past life.

However, Salty Fish and idle already halves efficiency, Overtime halves it again.

If two reductions are stacked on top of each other, it's hard to say whether Artisan Spirit can cover it up.

Simulator only need to be replaced once a year.

If you really turn yourself into an inefficient piece of trash, you'll be stuck for the whole year.

In reality, you could try it.

After all, in reality, it's already possible to switch between Trait at any time.

Lu Ping was not blinded by the prospect of tripled profits.

[The Trait will not be changed.]

[That year, yet another Foundation Establishment Elder announced his seclusion.]

The fourth Foundation Establishment Elder has gone into seclusion.

That night, you released the Fire Crow from your body.

[The Black-Feather Fire Crow flew out from the Dantian and circled the Cave Abode No. 7, Earth.]

[Then, it passed through the back wall of the Alchemy Hall, clung to the shadow of the Spirit Wood, and finally stopped on a branch outside the Main Hall.]

The lights in the Main Hall have been extinguished.

Han Changqing walked out of the side door alone.

[He bypassed the patrol route of the Law Enforcement Hall and went alone to the Back Mountain Forbidden Ground.]

[The Fire Crows followed from a distance.]

[In front of the Forbidden Ground's Stone Gate, Han Changqing took out a token.]

The Stone Gate opened a crack.

[Crimson flames shone through the crack in the door.]

[The Fire Crow had only approached within ten feet when the fire within its body suddenly trembled.]

A strange, Demon Qi surged out from inside the door.

[That Demon Qi didn't include the Fire Crow.]

[Only one scroll at the entrance.]

[Half of the Fire Crow's wings was charred black on the spot, turning into flames and dissipating.]

[You suddenly raised your hand inside Cave Abode No. 7, Earth. ]

[The Fire Crow transformed into a lingering flame and returned to the Dantian.]

[A tightness grips your chest, and you taste blood in your throat.]

The Fire Crow Seed in the Dantian shrank into a ball.

[Options pop up.]

[A: Immediately go to Han Changqing, tell him you've discovered something amiss in the Forbidden Ground, and offer your surrender.]

[B: Cease probing, seal the Fire Crow's aura to avoid being tracked in the opposite direction.]

[C: Apply for workers' compensation for Fire Crow, citing high-risk nighttime fieldwork as the reason.]
