You've Seen a Weird That Beautiful?

"What? What did you say?!"

Chen Guodong's eyes widened at those words.

"Uh, you'll know once you come in..."

As Zhou Yi spoke, he stepped aside, revealing Mo Shang, Jiang Shuyu, and Yellow Immortal inside the room.

At that moment, Mo Shang was sitting in a chair, holding a phone and playing a five-on-five competitive game.

"Damn it, what was with you guys going all out while Donghuang was sucking me in?!"

"Defend the crystal! Come on, defend the crystal! Han Xin and Li Xin are backdooring us!"

"Don't let Marco defend the base! Don't—yamei de!"

A moment later, staring at the red defeat icon before him, Mo Shang sprang up and angrily slammed his phone onto the floor!

"My phone! I just bought this phone!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yi slid over to the phone, now broken into two pieces, and picked it up with a pained look.

"New phone? What happened to the old one?" At that moment, the keyword triggered something, and Mo Shang suddenly asked.

"The old one? The old one, of course, went to the trans—"

Zhou Yi replied without thinking, but quickly realized what he'd said. He glared at Mo Shang in anger. "No, wrong channel! Pay me back for my phone!"

"I don't have a phone, but I do have a few cultivation manuals from the Mystic Heaven Realm. Pick one as compensation for your phone."

Mo Shang had no money, but he had plenty of local specialties from the Mystic Heaven Realm. He immediately reached out, took out several cultivation manuals, and let Zhou Yi choose.

"Nether Slash Heaven Art, Mystic Sky Burial Record, Spirit Control True Method, Overbearing Immortal Lord Falls for Me..."

Zhou Yi read the titles on the covers, but soon noticed something was off. With a startled look, he asked, "Brother Mo, is this Overbearing Immortal Lord Falls for Me also a cultivation manual?"

Hearing this, Mo Shang glanced at the book in his hand, then hurriedly put it away. He gave an awkward cough. "Ahem, my mistake. I grabbed the wrong one. Don't worry about the details..."

"Can these manuals make me as powerful as you?" Zhou Yi nodded, then asked again.

He'd just witnessed Mo Shang's strength. With just a wave of his hand, Mo Shang had whisked him away from the crowd so quickly that he hadn't even had time to react.

"Of course. But to reach my level, you'd probably have to cultivate for a hundred years or so..." Mo Shang nodded.

"A hundred years or so? It takes that long?" Hearing how much time it would take, Zhou Yi couldn't help but stare.

"Of course." Mo Shang nodded again.

In the Mystic Heaven Realm, it wouldn't take that long, but the spiritual energy on Blue Star was so thin that it would take at least a hundred years to reach the Spirit Gathering Realm.

"Then, is there any way to speed things up?" Zhou Yi's eyes darted about as he asked again.

"There is, brother, there is. There's naturally a way to speed things up." Hearing that Zhou Yi wanted a shortcut, Mo Shang gave him a strange smile.

"What way?" Delighted to hear there really was a shortcut, Zhou Yi asked eagerly.

"It's simple. Find a senior who's on the verge of death and have him pass his cultivation and experience on to you. But there'll be a side effect..." Mo Shang narrowed his eyes and smiled at Zhou Yi.

"A side effect? What side effect?" Zhou Yi asked again. He wasn't too surprised by the side effect; shortcuts naturally came with a price.

"You'll lose your current memories," Mo Shang replied.

The room fell silent. When Zhou Yi heard that the side effect was memory loss, he froze for a moment, then burst out, "Isn't that just getting possessed?!"

"Hey, at least you'd get strong fast!" Mo Shang chuckled.

"Fast, sure, but isn't that a bit too high a price..." Zhou Yi couldn't help giving a rueful laugh.

"Nothing comes for free. Even if there's money on the ground, you still have to pick it up to get it. If you want to get stronger, don't complain about how hard cultivation is..." Mo Shang looked at Zhou Yi and spoke earnestly.

"I understand. I suppose you got where you are by working hard like that too, Brother Mo?" Hearing this, Zhou Yi straightened his expression.

"Actually, no. People are different. I don't need to work hard at cultivation..."

"Huh? Why not?"

"I've got cheats. I get stronger just by leaving the game running every day."

"Then what was all that about just now...?"

"That was for you, not for me. Anyway, pick one."

"I'll take this Nether Slash Heaven Art..."

While Mo Shang and Zhou Yi were talking, Chen Guodong walked in from outside.

His eyes were filled with undisguised shock. He'd never imagined the two of them could freely travel between Blue Star and the Weird World!

"I'm Chen Guodong, director of the Supernatural Management Bureau. May I ask your names?" Chen Guodong looked at Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu and asked.

"Mo Shang, a passing cultivator," Mo Shang said with a smile.

"Cultivators? You two aren't weird beings?" Chen Guodong froze, then asked again.

As director of the Supernatural Management Bureau, Chen Guodong naturally knew a thing or two about cultivators.

But he'd never seen anyone like Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu enter the Weird World and come out completely unharmed...

"Of course not. Have you ever seen a weird that beautiful?" Mo Shang smiled and pointed at Jiang Shuyu beside him.

"I don't think so..." Chen Guodong shook his head blankly.

"Exactly." Mo Shang shrugged.

"If you aren't weird beings or Chosen Ones, how did you get into the Weird World?" Chen Guodong asked again.

"I have my ways, but you can't use them, so don't bother thinking about it..." Mo Shang replied.

Although the rules of the Weird World had given him a key, only he and Jiang Shuyu could use it. In anyone else's hands, it was just an ordinary key...

"Since you're here, what brings you?" Chen Guodong nodded and asked about their reason for coming.

"Nothing in particular. Just taking a stroll..."

There wasn't any special reason. Mo Shang had simply been bored. The Falling Cloud Sect was too peaceful, with hardly any gossip to enjoy, so he'd had to go looking for amusement in another world.

"If that's the case, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Would you be willing?" Hearing this, Chen Guodong's eyes brightened.

"I'm all ears..."

Mo Shang didn't refuse. He could guess what the other man wanted: to ask him to help the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen Ones in the Weird Instances.

"This isn't the place to talk. If it's convenient, please come to the Supernatural Management Bureau to discuss things further." As Chen Guodong spoke, he gestured for Mo Shang and the others to follow him.

"Then let's go."

Mo Shang nodded and headed outside, leaving the shabby rental apartment.
