Su Yuan, You Are a Born Demon

Over the course of one morning, aside from the Four Emperor-class powerhouses at the pinnacle of the delivery world, whose cultivation had reached the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, all the other Righteous Path Prodigies were forked out in front of Su Yuan's gate.

The dozens, perhaps hundreds, of delivery riders who had met defeat in Feiyun Community etched Su Yuan's name into their hearts, swiftly spreading his title throughout Taihua City's delivery world.

And Su Yuan, with his fearsome reputation for showing no mercy even to female delivery riders and deciding victory or defeat with a single fork strike, earned a title that sent chills down one's spine at the very mention of it.

[Mad Forking Demon]

After Security Guard Wang took command of Feiyun Community, another Security Guard Demon had arrived. It truly had twin supreme guardians at one gate! The delivery world regarded it as an absolute forbidden zone of death!

The Four Emperors of the delivery world sighed. Why did the security guard world produce so many capable people, while the delivery world saw no prodigies emerge?

Just as the entire delivery world was shrouded in gloom, with the righteous path waning and the demonic path rising, a delivery rider suddenly emerged out of nowhere at noon!

One security system after another, regarded by countless delivery riders as impregnable walls of bronze and iron, was breached!

Jade Splendor Tower, Golden Emperor Community, Jadeheart Garden Estate... Which of these companies and communities did not have renowned powerhouses from the security guard world standing guard?

Though they were somewhat inferior to Security Guard Wang of Feiyun Community, the difference was not great.

For a time, this delivery-world prodigy who had appeared out of nowhere at noon was constantly compared to Su Yuan, the security guard who had held Feiyun Community that morning.

Some scholars believed that righteous qi and demonic qi were balanced. When demonic qi surged, the righteous side would surely see geniuses rise in great numbers as well.

Unlike the high-profile security guard Su Yuan, this newly risen prodigy of the delivery world acted with discretion, and no one yet knew his name.

Many people eagerly anticipated what dazzling sparks would fly if this nameless prodigy collided with Su Yuan of Feiyun Community!

Eight in the evening.

Having made it through the dinner rush for deliveries, Su Yuan once again became a security guard at Feiyun Community.

Thinking back on his experiences delivering food from the morning through the evening rush, Su Yuan could only say that it had been thrilling.

Relying on his familiarity with the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles, even though he possessed only the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation, he could still retreat unscathed from the hands of security guard powerhouses at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation and Qi Cultivation Level 9.

Thanks to the generous tips from customers, although he had spent only half as much time delivering food today as he had yesterday, he had still earned a full nine hundred.

"Still, isn't what I'm doing a little improper?"

Su Yuan felt somewhat ashamed. He had learned his craft from Uncle Wang, the Security Guard King, only to turn around and use these methods against the Cultivators of the security guard world.

Did that make him a traitor to the security guard world?

That was also why he had tried to keep a low profile while delivering food.

But in this information age, he could hide it for a while, not forever. Su Yuan felt that the day he was exposed would come sooner or later.

What face would he have to meet Uncle Wang then?

With a heart heavy with worries, Su Yuan forked down a delivery rider and sighed.

Who would have thought that, at such a young age, he was already walking the line between the righteous path and the demonic path, his soul suffering endless torment!

Perhaps the system was right. He was born a demon lord skilled at toying with human hearts.

Fortunately, money and task progress could soothe his fragile heart.

[Demon Lord Mission: Seize Others' Fortuitous Opportunities (In Progress)]

[Task Progress: 7/10]

Though it had been a little difficult, he had still met today's quota of causing meal damage three times.

[Demon Lord Mission: Hold One Side (In Progress)]

[Reputation: 477/1000]

Through word of mouth from the delivery riders he had forked down, Su Yuan's reputation had been steadily rising.

At this rate, even if he only worked night shifts every day, he could raise his reputation to 1,000 and complete the mission within two or three days.

"Things are steadily improving!"

Su Yuan closed the System Panel, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"I'll secretly build myself up, then stun everyone!"

The third day—the final day of the three-day Spiritual Qi Resurgence anniversary holiday.

The lunch rush for deliveries had just begun. Su Yuan, having accepted a huge pile of orders and brimming with fighting spirit as he prepared to go all out, suddenly heard the street broadcast.

"Attention, residents of Taihua City. A Water Dragon is passing through the skies above Taihua City. Cultivators from the meteorological department have already gone to drive it away, but its appearance will still trigger a blue heavy-rain warning."

"Residents are requested to take precautions against the rain. Thank you for your cooperation."

Su Yuan raised his head to look at the sky. The previously clear heavens rapidly darkened within a few breaths. A long shadow faintly flashed through the clouds, while light occasionally illuminated the dark cloud cover.

Residents riding flying swords or spirit pets through the air hurried toward home.

Su Yuan frowned. He had already accepted so many orders; it would not be right to just drop everything and quit.

He had only been "meal-damaged" once this morning. He still needed two more times to complete the mission of seizing others' fortuitous opportunities. He should put in some effort and keep going!

He sped up, swiftly picking up and delivering orders.

At the same time, torrential rain poured down from the sky, flooding the roads in no time.

Twenty minutes later, after completing a round of deliveries and reporting one damaged meal, Su Yuan was only one final step away from completing the newbie mission.

This left him somewhat conflicted. Should he strike while the iron was hot and cause another damaged meal to finish the mission directly, or wait until tonight?

Still wrestling with this, he flew into a run-down residential complex with neither delivery lockers nor Security Guards and delivered the order.

He had originally planned to fly off immediately and deliver the next order, but before taking off, something familiar caught the corner of Su Yuan's eye.

It was a—takeaway order—sitting beside the steps at the base of one of the buildings, battered by wind and rain.

The packaging on this takeaway was not secure. The torrential rain had easily torn it open, and rainwater had already soaked the space between the food container and the bag. At first glance, it looked like a piece of trash casually discarded by someone.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Yuan landed in front of the takeaway. His gaze swept over the rain-soaked receipt, and his brows rose.

Good heavens, this takeaway had every Buff stacked on it!

Group Meal, pre-made food, trendy Chinese-style packaging, SpongeBob tableware, and the restaurant was even named "XXX Betting His Career."

Never mind that it had been soaked by rain—even if it were given to Su Yuan for free, he would not dare eat it.

Who knew how much technological wizardry and shady work was inside? Even a Qi Cultivator would have to sprint a mile after eating it!

Judging by the order time on the receipt, this takeaway should have been delivered just before the rain started. Its owner had probably been delayed by the rain and had not returned in time.

"If I destroy this poisonous takeaway, would that count as stealing someone's opportunity?"

Such a thought suddenly surfaced in Su Yuan's mind.

He figured the takeaway was already like this, so no one would want it anyway. Besides, eating this thing was worse than not eating at all. Getting rid of it could count as doing a good deed every day...

Fine, I just want to clear the mission. None of that other nonsense.

Seeing no one around, Su Yuan steeled his heart, grabbed the takeaway, and threw it into a nearby trash can.

As the takeaway sank completely into the filthy water at the bottom of the bin, a pleasant notification sounded by Su Yuan's ear.

The mission was complete?

[Detected that the host committed an act of righteous bravery despised by the demonic path. Warning issued!]

Fuck!
